Chapter 408: Bloody Battle
The stubborn resistance of the defenders of Pingcheng made the masters of the Taiyin Sect very uncomfortable, and they used to walk in the rivers and lakes, as long as they hung out the signboards of the Taiyin Sect, many people retreated without a fight, even if someone dared to make a move, most of them were just fighting for a face, and the meaning was over, and the real life and death struggle was rare.
Therefore, the cultivation of these masters of the Taiyin Sect is indeed high, but on the battlefield where life and death are about to be decided in an instant, their will to fight is obviously much worse, compared with the desperate defenders who came up, many of them are in a hurry and panic, and they are not as calm as their peers in the army. Especially after losing two elders in a row, those rising stars in the Taiyin Sect were obviously greatly affected, and many of them were not as strong, brave, courageous, and confident as they were when they first jumped on the city wall, and their combat power was greatly reduced.
On the contrary, the defenders in Pingcheng saw the performance of their comrades who were not afraid of death, and one by one they were stimulated and rushed upwards with a roar.
Although the rebels were much outnumbered by the defenders of Pingcheng, in the local battles on the city walls, the defenders of Pingcheng were superior in number to the Taiyin Sect and the Han army. The masters of the Taiyin Sect could not show their true level at all when their battle intent was weakened and they were disadvantaged by few people.
Ye Heng advanced quickly, clearing up the Han family army that jumped on the city wall as if he were chopping melons and vegetables along the way, and quickly killed the Taiyin Sect's group of people. In the Taiyin Sect, except for the elder-level masters who can compete with Ye Heng, few ordinary masters can take Ye Heng's three moves, but in just a few breaths, the young talents in the Taiyin Sect were killed by Ye Heng.
Ye Heng's arrival greatly reduced the pressure on the snow wolf, the snow wolf is the highest person in Pingcheng except for Ye Heng, so she has a lot to do, not only to deal with the masters in the rebel army, but also to rescue everywhere, from the beginning of the battle to the present, it can be said that she is the busiest person on the battlefield.
The snow wolf was still fighting with an elder of the Taiyin Sect at this time, and until now, she didn't know how many wounds had been left on her body, and the clothes in the light armor had already been glued to the wounds, and black blood stains had formed in some places, and there were several places that were bleeding continuously. Her face was very pale, and even the thick stains could not hide her haggardness, but her eyes were clear and transparent.
The cultivation of this Taiyin Sect elder who fought with the snow wolf is not very high, the strength of the two is between the two of them, and when the fight is critical, Ye Heng suddenly killed, and the Blue Wolf Howling Moon Knife slashed like a meteor, slashing towards the top of the head of the Taiyin Sect Elder!
That elder was fighting with the snow wolf with all his might, in the face of an unexpected situation, how could he deal with it at the same time, and with a fierce force, he forced the snow wolf back, and immediately collected his sword to block Ye Heng's fatal sword.
"Dang!"
There was a crisp sound, and the elder was shocked and took a few steps back. Before his body could steady, the snow wolf had already raised her sword to stab, and her long sword immediately pierced the chest of the Taiyin Sect elder. This sword was the snow wolf's momentum, and three dark energies surged out of the sword in a row, shattering the heart of the Taiyin Sect elder and killing him on the spot.
The snow wolf's sword tried her best to mobilize all the spiritual power she had left, and because she saw Ye Heng coming, her heart was relieved and her strength was unstable. Ye Heng stepped forward and helped her. Ye Heng sent the snow wolf to the city wall and asked her to sit against the wall.
"How are you?" Ye Heng asked anxiously.
"I'm fine, I'm just too tired, let me rest for a while. Snow Wolf said weakly.
"I'm sorry for making you suffer!" Ye Heng glanced at the soldiers who were still fighting for life and death, and said to the snow wolf with great guilt, "I'm going to kill the enemy, you take care of yourself!"
"Any wine? I want to drink some. Snow Wolf asked.
"Yes!" Ye Heng took out the only two jars of wine left in the acceptance ring and said, "You drink slowly!"
"Go ahead, I'll help you after a while!" the snow wolf urged.
Ye Heng nodded fiercely, gritted his teeth and rushed towards the master of the Taiyin Sect. His eyes were already red, and he almost shed tears, and his heart was uncomfortable! What man would like to let his beloved woman accompany him from birth to death and through hardships? What man would look at his beloved woman covered in scars, but he would leave her alone and ignore her, and his heart would be comfortable? If the years can be quiet, who doesn't want to live a happy and sweet life. However, at this moment, Ye Heng had to be ruthless to leave the snow wolf, because if he didn't join the battle, he would lose more comrades-in-arms and friends!
"Ah!" Ye Heng roared wildly and killed the master of the Taiyin Sect. Looking at his back, a charming smile appeared on the snow wolf's dirty face. Although her smile is covered by stains, as long as you see her expression, you will definitely feel that it is the most beautiful smile in the world, without any impurities, the purest smile from the heart.
Snow Wolf's bloodstained hand slowly rested on a wine jar, and she suddenly realized that her fingers didn't have enough strength to open the mud seal. Just now, he was fighting with people with a sword in his hand, but now he is so weak that he can't even open the wine jar. She knew that there was not much time left for herself, so she took a deep breath and crossed her legs and knees, glanced at Ye Heng, who was fighting with the people of the Taiyin Sect, closed her eyes and guarded the dantian, and began to recover her spiritual power.
Ye Heng held the knife with both hands and slashed left and left, in the melee, it was not allowed to use too fancy moves, the simpler and more practical the move, the more unexpected the effect. Ye Heng had no distracting thoughts, there was only the enemy in his eyes, and the blue wolf howling moon knife repeatedly used the most basic movements of the several knife techniques, sweeping, chopping, slashing, and sudden.
If people who know knife skills look carefully, they will find that Ye Heng is using the moves in "Qiankun Wuji Knife" at this time, although the angle and strength of the knife have changed slightly according to the battlefield situation, but the moves are still the simplest knife styles:
Across the mountains and rivers, sweep!
Split Shenzhou, split vertically!
Qi runs through Changhong, side slash!
The sunset over the long river, forward!
......
At the same time, Ye Heng used the essence of "Heavenly Wolf Fist" in it, with the knife technique to kick out the legs and feet, kick hard, and hit the elbows with knees, the young masters in the Taiyin Sect were like clumsy beginners in front of Ye Heng.
The people who killed the city wall by the Taiyin Sect were gradually eliminated, the pressure on the defenders of Pingcheng was slowly reduced, and the Han family army that was still attacking the city wall was not so dangerous at this time.
Taiyin Sect Leader Wu Haoren and Han Kaiyuan had been watching the battle below, and the faces of the two began to have confident smiles, and as the battle situation developed, their faces became more and more ugly.
"Sect Leader Wu, the situation of the masters in the sect is not good! Did Ming Jin let them take it down?" Han Kaiyuan was distressed when he saw that the losses of the Han family army were even greater, but he couldn't show it, so he could only ask for instructions in the name of caring about the Taiyin Sect.
"No need! The battle of Pingcheng is very important, and even if the disciples of this sect are crushed to pieces for this plan, they will not hesitate to do it!" Wu Haoren said coldly, "Marshal Han, you won't be reluctant to see the heavy losses of the Han family's army, right?"
"Don't dare, for the sake of the sect leader's plan, the Han family is willing to lose all their net worth!" Han Kaiyuan immediately denied it and took the opportunity to express his loyalty.
"I believe in your loyalty!" Wu Haoren said with a smile, "General Han, do you want to send more men to attack the city, the current battle situation seems to be unfavorable to us!"
"Sect Leader Shengming, I'll arrange it!" Han Kaiyuan said respectfully, and immediately arranged for other rebel teams to assist in the siege of the city.
The defenders of Pingcheng fought bloodily, the casualties were getting bigger and bigger, and the total number of people who could fight in the whole city was not even 5,000, for them, this battle was the most difficult battle to fight, and it was really not easy to hold on to it until now!
Especially on the side of the north city wall, the rebels' offensive was strengthened again, Gao Lang continued to deploy troops, desperately guarding the city defense, and even he himself took out a big sword to go into battle in person, and the two sides were short of each other, with countless casualties. And Ye Heng, Lin Xiuran and the others were trying their best to exterminate the people of the Taiyin Sect, and they had no time to take care of anything else. Fortunately, after continuous fighting, there are fewer and fewer people left in the Taiyin Sect.
"Third Elder, let's retreat, if we don't retire, everyone's lives will be confessed here today!" said a young talent from the Taiyin Sect who came to the last elder and said in a trembling voice.
"Can't retreat! The sect leader is still watching below, if we retreat, what face do we have to meet the sect leader?" the third elder resolutely objected. A total of five elders from the Taiyin Sect have come here this time, and four of them have already been killed here, and the three elders are still thinking about avenging the dead old brothers, how can they take the initiative to retreat? Besides, the sect leader did not give the order to retreat, and it is not a dead end after disobeying the sect master's order?
"Besides, face is worth a few dollars, I'm still young, there's still a long way to go, there's a lot of good time waiting for me to enjoy, I can't die here!" shouted the young talent.
"Presumptuous! If you dare to bewitch the people and disturb our army's heart, the old man will correct the law on the spot!" said the third elder angrily.
"Hmph! You are old and immortal to live enough, if you want to die, no one will stop you, master, I will not accompany you!" "The young talent was really afraid of being killed by the Pingcheng defenders, after witnessing the cruelty of the war, he was really afraid that he would die here at any time, even if he disobeyed the orders of the Taiyin Sect, he was not willing to continue to fight here! He has a lot of wealth, a large number of young beauties, brocade clothes and food, everything, he has not enjoyed enough, so he is afraid of death, he wants to live!
The reason why the young talent came here was because the Tianyin Sect Leader promised a lot of benefits, and he was dizzy, so he came. Now, when he realized that the huge good was not so easy to take, not only was he likely not to enjoy it, but he might even lose his life, and after careful consideration, he decided that his life was important, and as for the benefits promised by Wu Haoren, he didn't want it. As long as you escape with your life, it's a big deal to break away from the Taiyin Sect and continue to live your free life in another place, why bother to work here?
Secretly made a decision, the young talent turned around and ran, the three elders of the Taiyin Sect had not yet reacted, he had already swept to the side of the city wall, jumped over, borrowed a force on the siege ladder halfway, and successfully fell to the bottom of the city. Rolling on the spot, the young talent hid among the corpses everywhere, prostrate on the ground to observe the direction, and took advantage of the chaos to turn east, intending to slip away quietly.
The young talent quickly wore out of the military camp stationed in the east of the city, and when others saw his outfit, they knew that he was a member of the Taiyin Sect, and no one stopped him at all. The young man found a healthy horse in the camp and soon escaped from the barracks and came to the official road.
The young talent thought that he was alert and would soon be able to escape from the battle, and that a wonderful life beckoned to him again. However, when he had just stepped on the official road and was about to gallop on his horse, he suddenly frightened and stayed in place, his face was pale and cold sweat was falling.
"Teach, teach, master, why are you, why are you, here?" the young talent's frightened teeth chattered and stammered.
Wu Haoren looked at the young talent coldly, his face was iron-colored, and his muscles were exposed.
