Chapter 554 The Murderer

"Looking at it this way, is the strength of the merchant still quite tyrannical?"

Fang Yuan drank the sweet and sour wine in the cup in one gulp, thinking silently in his heart.

At this time, the wine he drank didn't have much strength at all, and it couldn't get drunk, it was equivalent to a little alcoholic drink at most.

It has to be said that ever since he knew that the Shang Dynasty was developed from the tribe he founded, he felt a little more closeness in his heart.

Of course, it's just a trace.

This sliver of goodwill allows him to help him out once or twice when he encounters a problem without damaging his own interests, and nothing more.

"between……"

At this time, Meng Kuo opened the tent and came in with a look of embarrassment on his face.

"But there is something difficult?"

Fang Yuan wiped his mouth.

"Oh... Fang Bo didn't want to see you, and he rejected the proposal of rewarding you!"

Meng Kuo's expression was a little embarrassed, and he slammed his fist on the table: "There is a villain in trouble, and Fang Bo doesn't believe my words, thinking that the heads of the ten people were captured by you and me together, and I also lost money for this." For those pawns..."

"I see!"

Fang Yuan nodded, but didn't say much.

What is the reward of a mere corporal?

The reason why he came here was to meet Da Shang's army and see if there were any hidden masters.

In the large-scale battle between the two armies, the high-end power each possessed should be revealed at last, right?

However, he was not someone who was easily persuaded. Instead, he stared at Meng Kuo for a while, arranging right and wrong, sowing dissent, which was not someone else's patent.

But if this gentry thinks that they can hold themselves by these means, it is a big mistake.

Fortunately, Mengshi's unique emotional sensing power let Fang Yuan know that what the other party said was the truth.

On the second day, the Dongyi people took advantage of the victory to pursue, and the army came to attack.

The merchant army lined up directly outside the camp, ready to fight.

Fang Yuan followed Meng Kuo, and he got to know the army at this time.

It has to be said that the times have made progress in this regard.

Compared with Xia Shi, the merchant army at this time is more organized and has a detailed division. The most eye-catching thing is the hundreds of chariots in the middle.

As the star of the battlefield at this time, the chariot is a concentrated expression of the strength of a prince, and even directly divides the strength by quantity.

Fang Yuan looked at it with a little interest, and saw that this kind of chariot was made of bronze and lacquered wood. There were two horses tied in front, and three people could be seated in the chariot. People holding spears, followed by infantry around them.

As long as there are a hundred of such chariots, it is indeed difficult for ordinary troops to resist if they charge on flat ground.

Meng Kuo said proudly at this time: "My great business is the co-lord of the world, the country of ten thousand vehicles! The Dongyi is only a disease of scabies, and it will disappear in a blink of an eye!"

Fang Yuan's heart was full of calculations: "The kingdom of ten thousand chariots is 10,000 chariots, 30,000 people!" Counting the infantry and logistics, it can probably pull up an army of hundreds of thousands. Is this the strength of the world's number one vassal state? '

Although the Great Shang is the co-lord of the world, and the King of Shang is the only king, other vassal states still exist, each with a power of thousands to thousands of times, but they only surrender in name. The true extent depends entirely on the means of the Shang kings of the past dynasties. .

The merchants' conquest of Dongyi this time also has the meaning of advocating power and demonstrating hegemony and subjugating all countries.

Of course, this time it was just a small punishment, if you really want to wipe it out in one fell swoop, you still have to personally conscript the King of Shang.

Even so, the confrontation of tens of thousands of horses is depressing.

"Even if our army suffered a small defeat yesterday, it is definitely not something that the Dongyi people can match... The people on the opposite side are all small tribes in Dongyi, with less than 10,000 people in total, and their weapons are far inferior. How dare they dare to fight?" Fighting against our army, I don't know how to live or die!"

Meng Kuo drew a conclusion based on a person who had studied the art of war.

"indeed……"

Fang Yuan glanced at the Dongyi army array on the opposite side. It might not be described as an array at all, it was crooked and a bit horrible.

Even, the closer the war was approaching, the louder the noise over there would be, making one think that they were about to disperse in the next moment.

On the battlefield, victory or defeat is definitely not determined by the number of people.

Although Dashang's side was small, it was dignified like a mountain, while the other side had a larger number of people, but it was scattered. It was clear at a glance who was winning and who was losing.

"These Dongyi people are not so stupid, are they?"

Fang Yuan was a little surprised.

The Dongyi people seen in the dense forest yesterday were insidious and cunning, completely different from these.

"Dongyi can be divided into thirteen major divisions and thirty-six subdivisions, which are not affiliated with each other. What we are facing this time is only the union of two or three subdivisions in the corner..."

Meng Kuo explained: "Having this is already pretty good!"

"All right!"

Fang Yuan was speechless, and immediately looked at the battlefield with fixed eyes.

From the opponent's formation, a chariot slowly drove out, and came to his own formation, making a provocative gesture.

"Choose the general in front of the battle?"

He was a little surprised: "Is there such a custom now? Oh! No! This is a world where extraordinary power is present, and personal bravery is infinitely enhanced. Naturally, there is room for this kind of competition. If two masters fight, the outcome can indeed be duel." The Bureau acts as a foreshadowing."

"I am Dongyi Guan Zhongbao, who would dare to fight Naigong?"

The one who came to challenge was an eight-foot-tall boorish man, driving with one hand, with amazing physical strength, and wielding a battle ax with the other hand, showing superb martial arts and imperial skills.

‘Oh, this person is not bad among ordinary people, can he finally see the current high-end force? '

Fang Yuan's eyes lit up, and he observed carefully.

Obviously, this provocation from Guan Zhongbao was unbearable for any businessman. Not long after, a chariot rushed out of the army formation, and a warrior on it also drove up alone: ​​"The thief is going crazy!" , see my warrior Nuo coming to meet you!"

Law!

The two chariots were getting closer and closer, and suddenly crossed each other.

Immediately, Guan Zhongbao laughed loudly, and the tomahawk was dripping with blood.

The samurai who rushed out had a big hole in his chest, dripping with blood, and fell from the car. The cheers of the entire merchant army stopped suddenly, like a duck being strangled in the neck.

‘This Guan Zhongbao’s martial arts can be said to be the pinnacle of mortals...’

Fang Yuan's eyes lit up, and he paid more attention.

At this time, in the center of the army formation, Fang Bo seemed to have sent some order, and another chariot rushed up again.

"Hmph, nameless rat, come and die!"

It seemed that the previous beheading made Guan Zhongbao extremely happy, his eyes were red, and he waved his battle ax to meet the enemy without fear.

call out!

The two chariots approached quickly, and even Guan Zhongbao's increasingly ferocious face could be seen.

At this moment, the warriors on Dashang's side suddenly drew their swords.

The clear cry of the iron sword went straight up to the sky, and it was heard from far and near, which made the expressions of ordinary soldiers change in horror.

Bark!

On the original iron sword, there was a flash of brilliance, and it rose by a foot, stretching and shrinking like a green snake.

"Sword light?!"

Fang Yuan thought of an appropriate term.

The chariots on both sides staggered past, but this time it was Guan Zhongbao whose palms were dripping with blood, turned around and ran wildly without saying a word.

"The traitor will die!"

At this time, the imperial guard let out a soft shout, and the iron sword in his hand turned into a black dragon, flew straight out, pierced through Guan Zhongbao's back, broke his chest, and nailed him to the chariot!

A sword coming to the west, like a flying fairy from the sky!

"good!"

Meng Kuo was startled for a moment, and then cheered loudly: "That's doctor Jiu, I heard that this person had an adventure, and learned swordsmanship from a foreigner, as expected!"

"Doctor... Nine?"

Fang Yuan looked at the young man with the sword and nodded.

This person's swordsmanship has indeed been transcendent, and he has stepped into the path.

But vaguely, it gave him a familiar taste, making him seem to see the shadow of Dagan's world martial arts.

"This kind of swordsmanship is probably handed down from the Xia Kingdom back then? After being digested by the world, it has become a local thing?"

He thought silently in his heart, at this moment, the businessman cheered endlessly, but he annoyed a person from Dongyi.

During the neighing of the steed, one person rushed out, and it turned out to be riding alone, which made Meng Kuo sneer: "Sure enough, he is a barbarian, he doesn't know etiquette!"

"If I were you, I should think about how to deal with that doctor..."

Unexpectedly, Fang Yuan replied coldly.

"What?"

Meng Kuo was shocked, and immediately saw that Doctor Jiu in the field was not afraid of this sudden attack. He drew a long sword from the car and focused on the enemy.

The solo cavalry general was proficient in martial arts, and he used a spear to communicate with him, and his laws were strict.

"go!"

Suddenly, Doctor Jiu repeated his old trick, and the long sword swayed with light.

The man let out a low cry, turned around and left.

"Where to run!"

Doctor Jiu's face was rosy, and he was chasing after him, and the long sword in his hand was about to fly out.

"snort!"

At this moment, the lone rider suddenly turned around and let out a cold snort.

call!

A stream of white air visible to the naked eye spewed out from his nose, swept like a horse, and swayed on Doctor Jiu.

boom!

This master of swordsmanship is extremely high, and the master with the sword turned his eyes, fell down and got out of the car, and was captured alive by the Dongyi people who rushed up in front of the battle.

"What?"

In the merchant army, Fang Bo looked at this scene and exclaimed: "What happened to Jiu? Hurry up and send troops to snatch him back!"

The title of a doctor is still higher than that of a scholar, even in this partial division, he is considered a high-level one, so he can't help but not pay attention to it.

Boom!

The big drum sounded, and the merchants took the lead in attacking. Hundreds of chariots lined up in a line, and the mighty impact was like a surging river, unstoppable.

Many infantry stepped forward and followed closely behind the chariot.

"kill!"

On the opposite side, the Dongyi people also charged.

Especially the murderer who captured Doctor Jiu, who took the lead at the moment, snorted coldly, sprayed Bai Lian from his nose, no matter who came up against him, he would be swept off the cart, and there was no enemy within a few feet.

"between!"

Meng Kuo was also in the car at this time, holding a bow and arrow, looking over for help.

Fang Yuan, on the other hand, was too lazy to take the dagger, and stood with his hands empty, but looked at the murderous man opposite him with great interest.
