Chapter 334: Lure the Tiger Away from the Mountain

Yang Feng was in a trance for a moment.

A brilliant spark exploded in front of her, like a candle flame magnified dozens or hundreds of times.

It was accompanied by thick smoke and scattered debris, as if appearing out of thin air in front of her, with broken bamboo and paper scraps falling like snow all over the sky.

Then the pungent smell rushed into her nostrils and went all the way down, as if burning her lungs.

Yang Feng tried hard to open her eyes wide. Time seemed to have stopped and the scenes around her were frozen in time.

Everything happened in an instant, and the world fell into silence, without any sound.

Because she can't hear.

Her body began to shake, and she felt something hot and sticky flowing down her cheek from her right ear. Yang Feng guessed that it must be the blood in her ear.

Or maybe it was his own brain?

Yuan Xi saw Yang Feng swaying and staggering. Sun Li behind her threw away the broken spear in his hand, raised his ring-handled sword high, and aimed it at Yang Feng's neck.

He thought to himself that it had finally worked.

Although the paper tube that was doubly filled with gunpowder could not kill anyone, it exploded close to Yang Feng's helmet. The impact of the explosion was absorbed by the iron helmet and then transmitted to her head, injuring her ear canal and destroying her body balance.

Yang Feng was indeed a master of extraordinary martial arts. Under normal circumstances, it was difficult for him and Sun Li to hurt her. The several traps that they had carefully prepared did not work. She was really difficult to deal with.

But Yang Feng suffered a disadvantage because she did not know what firecrackers were. Alchemy was not yet popular during that period and warriors were too unfamiliar with the phenomenon of explosion.

That's why Sun Li took advantage of Yang Feng's confidence as a master and successfully injured her with firecrackers wrapped around a spear.

Of course, Yang Feng suffered a loss this time, so she will be on guard next time and this trick will no longer work on her.

But there won't be a next time.

Seeing Yang Feng staggering like a drunk, Yuan Xi shouted, "Kill her!"

At this time, Yuan Xi's face was also covered in blood, and the sticky blood had blurred his eyebrows. He tried his best to open his eyes wide, and stabbed Yang Feng in the face with his spear.

Yang Feng could no longer hear anything. She didn't know how much time had passed, but her intuition told her that the other person was going to kill her the next moment!

She bit the tip of her tongue, but found that she could not even taste the blood or feel the pain. She subconsciously wanted to swing the spear in her hand, but found that her hand was empty.

The spear in her hand fell!

She saw Yuan Xi stabbing at her with the spear, but instead of retreating, she moved forward and threw herself towards the tip of the spear!

The master's reaction at this moment saved her. Sun Li chopped her back with his ring-handled sword, cutting off the leather rope of the armor plates on her vest, and more than a dozen armor plates flew into the air.

Sun Li shook his head, and Yang Feng just dodged the knife he was about to chop at her neck!

He took a step forward and chopped down again!

When Yuan Xi saw Yang Feng actually pounced towards the tip of his gun, he stabbed him without hesitation, but the next moment he found that Yang Feng had disappeared!

I heard Sun Li's exclamation, "Be careful!"

Yuan Xi's eyes suddenly went dark and he felt a pain in his jaw, almost making him lose consciousness.

He was hit by the opponent's bare hands!

At this moment, Yuan Xi's first reaction was to raise his hand and actually throw the gun in his hand backwards!

Yang Feng cursed loudly, her fingers were only a few inches away from touching the barrel of Yuan Xi's gun. As long as she had a gun in her hand, she was not afraid of anyone!

As a result, Yuan Xi actually took out the gun, making his attempt to seize the gun fail!

Yang Feng was furious. She was tricked by the opponent's unknown means. At this moment, her sense of balance had not returned and her movements were much slower. But even so, as a master, she was still trying to find an opportunity to turn the disadvantage around!

If I can't stab you to death with a gun, I'll beat you to death!

She made a claw with her left hand to grab Yuan Xi's throat, and clenched her right fist into a chisel to hit Yuan Xi's face!

Yuan Xi bent down, hugged Yang Feng's waist, and was about to knock her down.

Who wants to fight with you?

Rolling around is more like it!

Yang Feng knew that he would surely die if he was dragged down by Yuan Xi, so he hit Yuan Xi hard on the back with his elbow. The iron arm guard and the armor on Yuan Xi's back collided violently, causing Yuan Xi to almost spurt blood.

He hugged Yang Feng's waist tightly and yelled, "Kill her!"

Yang Feng kicked Yuan Xi in the lower body. Yuan Xi saw that he was going to be childless, so he barely dodged to the side, but Sun Li's knife arrived.

Yang Feng had no choice but to step forward and was about to run away. How could Yuan Xi let her escape? He kicked her away, rolled on the ground, and finally dragged Yang Feng down!

Yang Feng cursed inwardly, the opponent's martial arts skills were mediocre, why were these moves so difficult to deal with!

Little did he know that after Yuan Xi managed to knock down Lu Lingqi last time, he came back and felt that although his martial arts skills would be difficult to improve for the time being, he could put some effort into this unorthodox way.

So he sought advice from Zhao Yun, Tian Yu and others, and after spending nearly a year, he finally refined and sublimated this move that combined northern wrestling techniques into his most proud trump card.

These moves were the result of brainstorming with masters like Zhao Yun and Tian Yu. How could Yang Feng break them in such a hurry?

Seeing Yuan Xi holding one of his thighs and his ankle, and the Youzhou soldiers nearby stabbing him with their guns, Yang Feng knew that this was a life-and-death situation, so he twisted his body and rolled on the ground with Yuan Xi.

Yuan Xi felt like he was bitten by a crocodile and was doing a death roll. His stomach was churning and he was dizzy. The soldiers next to him were afraid of accidentally hurting Yuan Xi and did not dare to attack him.

Sun Li seized the opportunity and slashed with his sword, which hit Yang Feng on the vest. Yang Feng finally couldn't hold on and spit out blood.

She knew she had been defeated, so she immediately grabbed the ground with both hands, exerted strength from her waist and abdomen, and swung violently, actually throwing Yuan Xi out!

Without stopping, she stood up, using her hands and feet, and climbed over the camp in a few steps, ready to escape.

Yuan Xi shouted, "Shoot!"

Hundreds of arrows were shot at Yang Feng. One of them pierced her thigh with a puff. Yang Feng fell down the hillside in pain and rolled down.

When Yuan Xi and his men arrived, Yang Feng had already disappeared into the dense forest in the valley, leaving only a trail of blood along the way.

He and Sun Li looked at each other and saw the relief in each other's eyes.

This woman is too hard to beat!

Sun Li stared at the bottom of the mountain and asked, "Should we chase after them?"

Yuan Xi thought for a moment and said, "Forget it."

"If a few people encounter her, they might be killed in return."

"Clear out the remaining Black Mountain troops and rush back."

Seeing Yuan Xi's face covered in blood, Sun Li said, "Young Master, you should clean the wound first."

Yuan Xi raised his hand to wipe it and found that his palm was covered with blood. Suddenly he felt as if he had lost all his strength, his legs went limp and he sat down on the ground.

Yang Feng rolled down the hillside. The arrow shaft that shot into his leg had broken, and the arrowhead was deeply embedded in the flesh.

She gritted her teeth and walked for another ten miles before finally finding a stream. She tore open her trouser legs, reluctantly used a dagger to pick out the arrowhead from the flesh, and then bandaged it skillfully to stop the bleeding.

When she finished, she found a branch and stumbled back the way she came.

She was in a hurry.

Although all the people she brought with her were killed, as long as the Black Mountain Army's vanguard was still there, she could stop the Youzhou Army!

She was the backbone of the front army and only left temporarily in order to assassinate Yuan Xi. Without her, the Black Mountain Army could only be on the defensive.

Then Yuan Xi would most likely take advantage of her injury to rush back and attack the remaining camp of the Black Mountain Army, so she had to go back to take charge of the situation!

Relying on her familiarity with the local terrain, Yang Feng slept only one or two hours a day, and ate raw rabbits and pheasants when she was hungry. She walked without sleep for three days and two nights, crossing more than 200 miles of mountains, and finally returned to the place where she led her troops and the two armies confronted each other.

As soon as he saw it from a distance, Yang Feng fell to his knees weakly on the ground.

On several hilltops in the distance, there were ruined camps everywhere, and there was even a camp that was half burned down, but the fire was still burning.

The mountains and forests were littered with dead bodies and broken weapons, and the mountain streams were even tinged with red.

The flags of the Black Mountain Army in the camps on several consecutive hilltops have all been replaced with those of the Youzhou Army.

Yang Feng realized that the Black Mountain Army's vanguard was defeated, otherwise they would not have given up this pass suitable for defense!

Did they withdraw voluntarily, or were they all killed by the Youzhou army?

He left more than ten thousand people here, while the Youzhou army had only more than two thousand people at most. How did he lose?

Yang Feng felt dizzy. She was sure that Yuan Xi, who was marching with his soldiers in the mountains, would definitely not come back as soon as she did.

In other words, after I left, a war broke out here!

And judging from the looks of it, the other party obviously had this planned in advance!

You've been tricked!

Yang Feng didn't expect that the ferocious tiger would use itself as bait!

Moreover, the number of people the other party brought was also very subtle. They only brought a few hundred personal guards and left the general here, pretending to be escaping.

The number of Youzhou troops left behind was not large, more than 2,000 people. No matter how you look at it, they should not be able to break the camp of the Black Mountain Army with more than 10,000 people!

That's why Yang Feng felt relieved to lead her troops in pursuit. She had considered that it might be a strategy of the enemy to lure the enemy away. The main attack direction of the enemy might be the middle and south routes.

But what Yang Feng never expected was that the enemy would focus on attacking the northern route which he had left people guarding!

He chased after him, but not only did the assassination attempt fail, his home was also robbed!

Yang Feng hissed, "Ferocious tiger!"

"I will never reconcile with you!"

She stood up shakily. After several days of trekking, she had already reached her limit and could faint at any time.

But she knew she couldn't stay here now, as Yuan Xi could be back at any time, so she figured out the direction and, leaning on a branch with difficulty, staggered towards the Black Mountain Army's hinterland.

A day later, Yuan Xi and Sun Li also rushed back.

Tian Yu and Guo Jia came out and saw Yuan Xi with his forehead bandaged, with blood faintly seeping out of the linen cloth on the wound. They thought that this was too risky!

This plan was made before Yuan Xi sent out his troops. If they wanted to attack Montenegro, how could they not find out the details of the Montenegro generals?

The two people with the highest status in the Black Mountain Army are Zhang Yan and Yang Feng.

As the commander of the northern vanguard army, Yang Feng has a very high prestige. With her around, this vanguard army of more than ten thousand people will be extremely difficult to defeat.

That's why Yuan Xi and Guo Jia came up with the strategy of using themselves as bait.

Of course, Guo Jia was very opposed to this risky move, but after the two of them had simulated the situation many times, they found that as long as Yang Feng was still there, the Black Mountain Army would never be completely defeated.

So in the initial encounter, Yuan Xi intentionally reserved his strength to cause Yang Feng to misjudge and thus gradually lead him into the trap.

Of course, no one expected that Yang Feng's martial arts skills would be so high that Yuan Xi almost capsized.
