Chapter 569: Fearless Back
At this moment, there was silence on the city walls. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
All the generals and city guards standing on the city wall looked at this scene, they were completely stunned, looking at the bright red and hot blood on the ground, it was almost impossible to say that they were not surprised at all.
They are not afraid to kill.
However, what happened in front of him was obviously more than just murder.
General Lee is dead!
He was killed by Su Qing, the governor of the five provinces of the Northern Desert, with a sword!
You look at me, I look at you, they are all extremely trained soldiers, normally speaking, the Lord will be killed, they should resist.
But......
The other party is Su Qing.
It is the governor of the five provinces of the Northern Desert, and the most important thing is that they all heard Su Qing's words just now, the Northern Barbarian army invaded Yanjing City, and moreover, it was close at hand.
100,000 troops!
How could they resist with only the thousands of city guards they had left behind at the four city gates?
"Yes!"
"Light the beacon!"
"Quick, immediately light the beacon fire and gather the Quartet army to protect the Yanjing City!"
After hesitating for a moment, the generals and city guards finally moved, they naturally couldn't make decisions about this kind of thing, but the sky fell and there was a high top.
Now, Su Qing, who is tall, is standing in front of them.
So what else do they have to worry about?
Even if the saint really blamed him, he would find Su Qing as soon as possible, after all, the order was given by Su Qing, and they just acted according to the order.
"Herald, light the beacon!"
"Light the beacon!"
“......”
Voices continued to be transmitted from the east gate towards the "beacon tower", and the heralds were running on the city wall, still holding the herald flag in their hands.
Soon, the beacon on the beacon tower was finally ignited.
The black smoke rose and drifted towards the sky, it was an extremely thick smoke, and even the cold wind of the night could not quickly blow it away.
At the same time, a sky-high light also rose into the sky, converging with the stars in the sky like a meteor.
Su Qing looked at this scene, and a smile finally appeared on the corner of his mouth.
The beacon fire has been burned, and the signal has been released!
Then, the troops stationed in the Quartet will naturally rush to Yanjing City immediately, and there is no doubt that no one dares to stay in this matter.
"Lord Su, now that the Northern Barbarian enemy army has approached the city gate, should we immediately send someone to inform His Royal Highness King Duan?" A partial general walked in front of Su Qing at this time and said with a respectful face.
"Of course, we have to be informed, but we must first make defenses and figure out the other party's purpose, if we act rashly, I am afraid that we will fall into the other party's plan to divert the tiger from the mountain!" Su Qing replied.
"Tune the tiger away from the mountain?" the general looked puzzled.
"Yes, although this official has long been aware of the Beiban's actions, no one can judge how the Beiban will act, if the purpose of the Beiban is only to feint to attack the city gate, but the real target is the saint in the palace, then we will send someone to inform His Royal Highness Duan Wang, won't we just fall into the other party's trick?" Su Qing explained.
"What Master Su said is reasonable, but if the other party is not a feint, then wouldn't it be ...... if we continue to drag it on" When the general heard this, a cold sweat rose behind his back, but he was still a little hesitant.
"Whether it's a feint or not, the official will know as soon as he finds out!" Su Qing said confidently.
"How is Master Su going to investigate?"
"As an important minister of the Great Xia Dynasty, this official naturally has the ambition of a national disaster, and he has the ambition to open the city gate, and the official will personally resist them for a while and explore their purpose!"
"This ...... Master Su can't, the Northern Barbarians have always been cruel, in case Lord Su ......" When the general heard it, he shook his head without thinking about it.
Personally resist the Northern Barbarian army?
Isn't this looking for death!
"Needless to say, the official has made up his mind!" Su Qing waved his hand, and at the same time, he turned around directly and walked towards the city wall.
More than a dozen black-clothed people who followed behind Su Qing immediately followed.
The partial general was stunned in place, looking at Su Qing's departing back, he inexplicably had a bad premonition in his heart, but he couldn't say what it was.
"Master Su, aren't you known for your wisdom, why do you use such a method?" the general's fists clenched, and his brows furrowed tightly.
He wanted to ask a few more questions.
However, Su Qing had already gone down the city wall.
Moreover, the most important thing is that now that General Li is dead, Su Qing has naturally become the supreme commander who can issue general orders now, so as a soldier, how can he question Su Qing's decision?
"Open the gates!"
"Lord Su wants to go out of the city to talk to the Northern Barbarian army and open the city gate!"
"Crunch, crunch......"
As the order was conveyed, the heavy city gate was finally slowly opened, and the night wind blew, rolling up the bits of yellow sand on the ground and flying towards the outside of the city.
Outside the city, countless black shadows were rushing towards the city gate, all holding spears wrapped in black cloth in their hands, and their faces were covered with black cloth.
Sen Leng's killing machine is coming.
Su Qing's eyes narrowed at this time, looking at the black shadows that were getting closer and closer, and slowly stepped forward and walked towards the outside of the city gate.
And the dozen or so black-clothed people who followed him did not follow Su Qing out, but just stood quietly at the city gate, watching Su Qing leave.
The city guards were extremely shocked when they looked at Su Qing, who really walked out.
"Close the gates!"
"Wait!" a man in black spoke, his tone cold, and his eyes flashed with a cold and chilling light.
When the city guards guarding the city gate heard the words of the man in black, no one opened their mouths and immediately questioned them, but their faces were full of doubts.
"The city gate can't be closed until Lord Su comes back!" the man in black spoke again.
"This ...... What if the city gates are not closed and the army of the Northern Barbarians rushes in?"
However, just as his words fell.
A light lit up.
"Poof!"
The sword goes into the throat without mercy.
This sword was naturally stabbed by the man in black, and the target was the city guard who had just replied, blood spurted from the throat of the city guard, and the city guard's eyes were even more round.
"For ...... Why......"
"Plop!"
Before he could finish speaking, the man had fallen to the ground.
Originally, several city guards who were also responsible for guarding the city gate subconsciously took a step back, and everyone had a frightened glint in their eyes.
If you don't agree with each other, you will kill the sergeant.
They have rarely seen such strict managers......
"Are you afraid?" the man in black gently wiped the bloody sword in his hand against the armor of the city guards, and at the same time, his gaze swept over all the city guards around him.
"Don't be afraid!" replied the city guards at once.
"As a soldier of the Great Xia Dynasty, you should have had the consciousness of death a long time ago, but now Lord Su is alone to block the enemy, but he wants to close the city gate and ignore Lord Su's life and death, what do you think?" asked the man in black again.
"This ......"
"Damn it!"
"yes, damn it!"
More than a dozen city guards who were in charge of guarding the city gate glanced at each other, then at the blood that was still bright red on the ground, and finally replied with a bite.
"If the Northern Barbarian army really rushes over, and we rush out to resist desperately, you can just take advantage of the city gate, understand?" Hearing this, the man in black finally changed his tone.
"Understood!" the city guards nodded as soon as they heard this.
They have to understand, because, they simply don't have the opportunity to choose, either understand or die, this choice is too simple and straightforward.
Moreover, the most important thing is that now that Su Qing has gone out of the city gate, more than a dozen black-clothed men have promised to rush out to resist when the Northern Barbarian army kills them.
So......
They can only pin their last hope on this.
......
The night, the night is not peaceful, the yellow sand slowly swirls on the ground, and the night wind blows through the gates of Yanjing City, blowing on the faces of the city guards.
Su Qing, who was dressed in a decent court uniform, stood outside the city gate with his hands behind his back, not a majestic back, but at this moment, it was the hope in the hearts of all the city guards.
He stood up straight, without the slightest hint of fear or flinching.
Even if those black shadows were getting closer and closer, they were so close that they were about to step over Su Qing's body and step on the spacious moat outside the city gate.
"Archer, prepare!" On the city wall, the generals commanded the city guards to draw their bows and arrows, and in addition to the bows and arrows, the hot oil was already hot.
Everything is a preparation for the big war.
Finally......
The black shadows crossed Su Qing's body and ran towards the spacious moat, they didn't stop, it looked like they didn't see Su Qing at all.
It's like a black cloud that is engulfing, and it's incredibly fast.
Such a scene undoubtedly shocked the city guards and generals on the city wall, they didn't expect that the other party would ignore Su Qing anyway.
"Oh no! close the gates!" a general was the first to react, and immediately shouted towards the city gate.
But......
Strangely, there was no sound from the city gate, not even the movement of the drawbridge being hoisted, as if he had not heard the general's order at all.
"Damn, are you all shrugging?" The general's face was anxious, and he was just about to go down to the city wall to take a look, when he saw a man in black appear in front of him.
"What's wrong?" the man in black asked.
"When the Northern Barbarian army comes to attack, the city should be closed immediately......"
The general did not finish his words, and the voice quickly stopped, because his neck was a little cold, and there was a blood mark on his neck.
A quick slash of blood, fatal.
The general's hand covered the blood stain that was gushing blood, and his eyes looked closely at the man in black in front of him, as well as the blood-stained sword in the hand of the man in black.
However, the man in black did not look at him more, but walked up to him lightly and pointed a finger on his forehead.
"Plop!"
The general's body fell to the ground.
And the sword of the man in black also lit up again, flashing with a cold light in the moonlight, the sword came out, and the chill struck, and the body of a partial general fell to the ground again.
"Your Excellency, you ...... What are you doing?" the city guards, who were tightening their bowstrings, looked at this change and couldn't react at all.
What's going on?
Why did the man in black who followed behind Su Qing do something to the general!
Are they traitors?
Impossible!
Lord Su Qingsu had already sacrificed his life for the country just now, and was completely swallowed by the army of the Northern Barbarians, and died outside the city gate, and his bones could not be found.
But if it's not a traitor......
Why kill people for no reason?
The city guards couldn't figure it out, but several people had already died today, and since General Li was killed, death has been going on on on the city wall.
They want to ask, but they can't.
However, there is one thing that they see very clearly.
The sword of the man in black was fast, and, it was cold, so cold that their bodies trembled a little, so cold that they couldn't dodge it at all.
One body fell to the ground, more and more ......
This kind of change finally made the city guards come to their senses, because, no matter what the reason, the man in black should not be killed again and again.
"Stop!"
"What are you doing? Crazy?"
"Quick, take down this madman!"
The rest of the city guards reacted, and the resistance finally began, but behind the men in black there were more than a dozen "madmen", and their swords were also fast.
"Poof!"
"Poof!"
“......”
The sound of sharp swords slashing through the throat and piercing the body resounded on the city wall, and the bodies of the city guards fell to the ground, their eyes all widened, and there was a faint aura of ice mist on their bodies.
"There is a strong man in the reincarnation realm!"
"Why? Why is there a strong man in the reincarnation realm behind Lord Su, what's going on?"
"And there's more than one!"
The city guards couldn't figure it out, even if Su Qing was the governor of the five northern desert prefectures, but it was already rare to have a strong man in the reincarnation realm behind him to protect him, and more than a dozen strong people in the reincarnation realm would protect him together?
It's definitely an unimaginable thing.
After all, even if the reincarnation realm powerhouses of the entire Great Xia Dynasty combined, there would not be more than a hundred!
The city guards have begun to resist.
However, how could they resist the killing of the powerhouses of the Reincarnation Realm.
Every time a sword is lit, it takes away a life, and every time a sword is lit, there will be an additional corpse on the ground, either cold, or hot, or sealed by a sword.
Blood, tossed in the air.
The city gate of Yanjing City was dyed red, pushing this ancient city that had been baptized by war to the blade again, and at the same time, cutting the traces of old age again.
Screams echoed in the air.
At the same time, the black shadows that rushed quickly outside the city finally crossed the moat, rushed through the city gate, and poured into the Yanjing City.
The black cloth that had been covering their spears was removed.
The tips of the bright spears lit up, and they looked cold in the moonlight, and soon, there was a trace of warmth on those cold, the warmth of blood.
"Military order! Half an hour, completely solve the battle!"
"Yes!" a solemn and loud voice sounded in the blood, and on the pitch-black clothes, blood dripped and soaked with blood, revealing the heavy armor inside. (To be continued.) )
