Chapter 33: Fortress Crisis

Time passed minute by minute, and the entire battlefield was filled with the sound of arrows breaking through the air, the wails of the Song soldiers before they died, and the unwilling chirping of the war horses when they fell, these sounds, as if they were the invitation of death, pulled the fresh lives into the dark abyss.

In the most heavily protected place in the center of the troops, the veteran generals and all the officers were already like knives. Because there is nothing more sad than a general watching his loyal subordinates die in vain, but there is nothing they can do. But for the sake of that glory that belongs only to soldiers, they have to give this extremely cruel order, although their hearts are extremely painful.

Finally, almost an hour later, the infantry, under the protection of the cavalry, regardless of casualties, finally rushed to the gate of the fortress of Shenmen after passing through a line of attack paved with the corpses of their comrades. At this time, the veteran general and others were less than a kilometer away from the city gate. He also did this to boost morale. Only when the main general personally goes to the battlefield and lives and dies with the soldiers can people move and boost morale. This is also the reason why some emperors like to go on the expedition and win the victory.

Leaving it, the veteran general looked up at the majestic fortress, and he had been proud of it more than once. Because it is not only a weapon of defense, but also carries his feelings for the Song Kingdom. But today, when he came to the city again as a sieger, he couldn't help but feel a little stunned. When he saw the two people hanging from the city, it made him even more troubled.

In fact, the reason why he wanted to surrender just now was not only so that the Song army could live more people, but more importantly, the life of his only grandson, which was the focus of his attention. Now looking at the dying boy, he was even more heartbroken. So the force of luck and feet shouted angrily: "Feng Xiaotian, you bastard, let my grandson go quickly, otherwise I will definitely break you to pieces!"

After a while, a handsome and slender young man came to the city wall, quietly looking at the old man whose face was flushed with anger. Looking at the old man's angry appearance, Feng Xiaotian's expression didn't change much, he just looked at the old general indifferently, and then asked with a slight mockery: "Oh? Who should I be? It turned out to be that despicable and shameless old man who went back on his word." Why? You knew you were wrong this time, so you came here to kowtow to me and admit your mistake?"

After hearing these humiliating words, the anger of the veteran general also turned from anger to outburst. So he scolded: "Bastard, you are a despicable and shameless villain, if you really have a kind, you will let my grandson go, and then fight with me in a dignified manner, what kind of ability is it to use hostages?"

"Ouch, just said that you were shameless, you are so energetic," Feng Xiaotian said disdainfully, "You have 800,000 troops in your hands, and I only have 300,000 in my hands, you still want a fair duel with me, you still want to be shameless!"

"You, you ......" The old general was speechless for a while.

But if he didn't say anything, it didn't mean that Feng Xiaotian would let him go, so Feng Xiaotian said again: "Also, you obviously said that you would surrender, but you sent people into the city in advance, with bad intentions, is this or not?"

"This..."The veteran general was once again speechless.

"Besides, what do you say you have in your head? Get a group of people in thick clothes on a hot day to surrender, do you take me for a fool? Or do you think I am blind? You dare to use such a bad idea..."

"You ......" The old general's face turned red again. But this time, I was obviously a little annoyed.

"In the end, I saw the formation you had lined up, with the cavalry in front and the infantry behind, I thought you were sincerely repentant, so you deliberately put on such a formation and came to surrender?

"Fart, it's just nonsense, Feng Xiaotian, Ming people don't say dark words, my old man confessed this time, in terms of strategy, I admit defeat, you say directly, how can I let my grandson go," the old general couldn't help but say angrily.

"What do you want? Don't you knowingly ask? Or surrender on the original condition, you surrender, I will release you,'' Feng Xiaotian said generously.

"Don't go too far!" said the veteran general through gritted teeth.

"'Hmph~ It seems that you are toasting and not eating, and you want to eat and drink," Seeing that the siege vehicle of the Song army had begun to hit the door, and made a loud "boom, boom", Feng Xiaotian said: "Let them stop immediately, otherwise I will unload one of your grandson's arms first, so that you can see my methods." ”

As he spoke, he ordered someone to escort Zhan Ziming over, and personally broke off one of Zhan Ziming's fingers and threw it to the veteran general.

"Ahh At this time, it was already old tears. couldn't help but scolded angrily: "You little bastard, you dare to play yin with me, it's really shameless, aren't you afraid of being punished if you do this?"

But what was waiting for him was another cry of pain from Zhan Ziming and another finger. I only heard Feng Xiaotian say coldly: "I'm sorry to answer wrong, from now on, I will disassemble Zhan Ziming and send it to you piece by piece, until you agree to surrender, but you have to think about it carefully, this kid himself is injured, and now he is bleeding, I am afraid that he will not last long." ”

"You..." The veteran general was already gritting his teeth angrily at this time, and secretly swore in his heart that if he could catch him one day, he would definitely scrape him with a thousand knives to vent the hatred in his heart, so he was unwilling to order, "The whole army obeys the order and stops attacking!"

"Ah~?" After hearing this order, the people in the Song army were all dumbfounded, and they were all looking at the old general with puzzled eyes.

At this time, all the thinkers on the side stepped forward one after another to admonish: "General, don't do it, now we are already victorious, as long as we can break through the city gate, then we can recapture the Shenmen Fortress."

At this time, the veteran general didn't know that this was an opportunity, but he didn't dare to take risks for the sake of his grandson. And what's even worse is that Feng Xiaotian's kid is cruel, if he angers him and asks him to slaughter his last grandson, then I am afraid that he will not be able to live.

So he paid no more attention to the advice of those below him. insisted on giving an order, in the face of this old man who was desperate for the sake of his grandson, the Song soldiers below couldn't hold back their tears, they cried not because they were afraid of death, but because they felt humiliated, yes, humiliation. I want to come and wait for others, throw my head for the country, spill blood, and let it be a cavalry.

Every cavalryman regards the horse as his lifelong partner, but at the critical moment, they can only watch the horse neighing down, but they are powerless. That kind of heartache made them extremely uncomfortable, so everyone held back their strength in order to have a chance to avenge their beloved partner. But when the opportunity came in front of them, the upper leaders issued again, such an order that made them almost vomit blood, you can imagine how uncomfortable their hearts were.

Finally, some hot-tempered soldiers couldn't help it, and scolded: "The surname is Zhan, you coward who is greedy for life and afraid of death! You are afraid, Lao Tzu is not afraid, and now Lao Tzu is going to avenge my dead brothers." And your order, in the eyes of Lao Tzu, is a fart, brothers! For our family, for those dead brothers, rush!"

"Kill~~!"

Hearing him roar like this, everyone immediately became excited, so the siege of the city, the charge of the charge. Only a handful of people are still carrying out orders. When they moved, they were a little worried about the old general, for fear that Feng Xiaotian would take advantage of the topic to play, but at the same time, they were also happy in their hearts, because they could completely say that this was a mutiny and had nothing to do with themselves.

But what a shrewd person Feng Xiaotian is, he didn't pay attention to the attack of the people below, but threw a bloody finger to the old general, which could make the old general directly blow up. He scolded angrily: "Bastard, what are you doing? I have already done what you said, it was my subordinates who mutinied, and it has nothing to do with me, why should you hurt my grandson?"

But his angry scolding did not make the other party have a trace of remorse, but in exchange for the other party's ridicule, only to hear Feng Xiaotian laugh: "As the commander-in-chief, you don't even have this bit of deterrence, then you have been a fool for so many years, now I can tell you clearly, I want the result, not your excuse to shirk responsibility, since it is a mutiny, then you have to figure it out yourself, but you have to be faster, because I am not patient, if you delay for too long, then I can only use your grandson to vent my anger." ”

"You, you wait for me!" said the veteran general who almost vomited blood and was overwhelmed with grief and indignation.

Then, he turned his head and ordered: "No matter what method is used, let the people below stop attacking, and I will bear all the consequences!" After saying this, he was also ashamed and embarrassed.

So the herald also went to issue an order with a very heavy heart, and this order had an immediate effect, and all the officers began to make efforts to keep their men under control, from the smallest of the ten to the ten thousands, all of them had to obey the order. Otherwise, there will be a team of pre-battle overseers who will come to deal with them. It's ridiculous that the Warlords were supposed to kill the deserters before the battle. But what they want to kill today are those heroes who fought bravely. It's really uncomfortable to think about.

In just a few minutes, after executing a few thorns, everyone was honest, and at the same time, they were completely disappointed against the old general and others. Even most of the people threw away their weapons and sat on the ground silently crying, so that the morale of the Song army was completely broken, and everyone was like a walking corpse that had lost its soul, lifeless. Now, unless a god descends into the world, the complete surrender of the Song army is already a sure thing. And as the veteran general who mainly gave orders, he also shed tears of remorse at this time, because all this was his fault. But let so many innocent soldiers bear the consequences, which makes it not heartbroken. So much so that he wanted to die to apologize.

And at this time, an untimely voice sounded, "Why do all the men in the Song army like to cry so much? From top to bottom, are you really men? Aren't women dressed as men to make up the numbers?" Of course, this sentence was said by Feng Xiaotian.

When he finished saying this, the people in the Song army were all angry and red-faced, and even the old generals were also angry, and the morale of the Song army was suddenly hung up again, and the rise of their morale surprised the people in the Chu army. Because just now they were clearly looking forward to victory, but Feng Xiaotian's words made this matter a big deal.

It stands to reason that Feng Xiaotian can't make this kind of mistake at all, because once he completely provokes the other party, it won't end well. Could it be that this series of achievements has made this young man forgetful and complacent?

Just when everyone was looking at the city wall, the arrogant and proud young man, a ''''''roar like thunder suddenly came. Listening to the sound, it seemed to come from the depths of the sky, and then there was a golden light, rushing out from the first line of heaven at a thunderous speed, and when it was almost to the back gate, there was no intention of slowing down. I only heard a loud "boom", and the city gate broke in response, followed by an extremely majestic voice, which came from all directions to the main gate of the Shenmen Fortress: "What an arrogant and arrogant young man, he dares to openly laugh at me Song Guonan, it is really courageous, but I don't know if you really have this ability, or if you were carried away by a momentary victory, so that you became an idiot who can only talk big." ”

When he finished saying this, the golden light also stopped... It happened to hover over Song Jun's head. I saw a person who came to the fairy wind Dao Bone, a silver-white robe, exuding a dazzling golden light, his beard and hair were white, but there was no wind, his skin was round, his eyes were sharp, and a murderous aura loomed, and with the momentum he exuded, he was dressed as a proper master.

After seeing the appearance of the visitor, the veteran general and other high-level officials were excited to shed tears, and all of them made a move, that is, kneeling, kowtowing, and shouted neatly: "Welcome to the great offering"

It turned out that this bullish old man was enshrined by the Song Kingdom, and he was also the strongest sixth-layer realm in the Song Kingdom. His appearance reversed the situation as soon as he appeared, and the people in the Chu army suddenly became sad. Because masters like them generally do not interfere in national struggles. They are only responsible for the safety of the royal family, and if they are damaged, it will be the sky falling. Then the four words "the important weapon of the country" are very suitable.

The reason why the three empires can be called "emperors" is because they all have a "giant spirit realm" in their country, a seventh-layer powerhouse in charge, and a number of "breaking the army realm" powerhouse.

After Feng Xiaotian saw him, he didn't change much, but he still pretended to be surprised, and said, "I don't know that my predecessors are coming, and I ask for forgiveness if I miss the distance." After finishing speaking, he clenched his fists and arched his hands, which was considered a salute.

For Feng Xiaotian's respect, Wang Xianfeng was not too rude, so he could only nod and smile, and then said: "Okay, good, Chu State is really a place where talents come out in large numbers, looking at your young age, your cultivation is not shallow, it is really amazing!"

As soon as he said this, he really shocked everyone present. Because none of them knew what level Feng Xiaotian's strength had reached. However, looking at the attitude of the king's worship, it should not be low.

Feng Xiaotian, who was the person concerned, did not become complacent because of his praise. Just in a flat tone, he responded: "Where, where, the seniors have won the prize." But I don't know what the seniors are here for? It stands to reason that in your capacity, you should not wade into this troubled water, and your task should be to protect the members of the royal family, aren't you afraid that your king will be assassinated?"

Because Wang Xianfeng couldn't see the depth of Feng Xiaotian clearly, he could only delay the court time first, and said patiently: "Yes, that's the case." But things are also prioritized., just like right now, you have made the entire Song Kingdom precarious, if I don't make a move, then the Song Kingdom will be finished. “”

"Oh? It is said that a few years ago, in order to save the old king of the Song Kingdom, you were seriously injured by the Liao State and his disciples. Feng Xiaotian asked with some curiosity.

After hearing this, Wang Xianfeng's face changed, but he immediately changed for the better, and said confidently: "Of course, just with that group of waste, how can you hurt me!" Then he began to change the topic and said: "Young man, I have had a relationship with your family Li Xianfeng how many times, I don't know how good he is?"

There was no shortage of people present with outstanding wisdom, and they immediately heard from his words that something was wrong. Because he was obviously changing the topic, Feng Xiaotian also heard what he wanted to hear, so he replied with a smile: "Thanks to the senior's concern, Senior Li is all right, but now is not the time for you and me to chat, it is better for you to persuade and let your subordinates surrender." Then go back to Chu with me.

"You..."Wang Xianfeng was choked by his angry words for a while, and said angrily: "What a sharp-toothed boy, you want me to surrender, but I don't know if you have the ability." ”

Anyway, he didn't talk nonsense, let the soldiers in front of the city gate get out of the way, and then began to charge up. The soldiers below were not stupid, knowing that this fairy-like old man was about to make a big move, in order not to make senseless sacrifices, they all ran away. His obvious action naturally attracted the attention of the Chu army, so everyone in the Chu army became panicked, and even some people began to want to be deserters. But there were still some people who saw Feng Xiaotian's calm expression, and immediately quieted down. I thought: Could it be that the young general has already had a countermeasure?

However, just when they wanted to step forward and ask, they saw Feng Xiaotian's face full of evil smiles, and then they turned around and ran quickly under the city wall. Seeing this scene, everyone was extremely surprised, so that they were all a little stunned, seeing them stunned, Feng Xiaotian rushed by, and couldn't help but remind: "Why don't you run quickly? Do you want to wait for death here?" After speaking, he increased his speed and ran over like the wind.

He ran, so that the people below were all dumbfounded, and then reacted quickly, all of them played with their lives, and ran wildly, and they couldn't help but curse in their hearts: "This bastard boy, it's okay to pretend to be a master, if you can't help it, why didn't you say it earlier?"

Not long after all of them evacuated, an angry shout rang out: "Golden Light Break!" Then there was a pillar of light as dazzling as the sun, which shot straight into the city gate from outside the city gate, and beat the city gate into a half-crippled, only some fragments were connected on both sides of the gate, and the upper half was intact because it was not attacked.

But despite this, it was enough for the Song army to take action, and the purpose of the king's worship was achieved, and he didn't want to kill so many people by himself. The best way to do this is to open the gates yourself, and leave the rest to your men. After finishing the matter, he returned to the Song army, and said to the old general: "What I can do, I have already done it, and the rest is up to you," and then he casually found a carriage and went in to meditate and recuperate.

The old man was not stupid, and naturally knew that this was a golden opportunity, so he ordered, "Charge, all charge, first open the gate to the first line of heaven, and then introduce the army into the city, and recapture the fortress in one fell swoop!"

"Yes!" all the soldiers below replied neatly: the morale of the Song army, because of the great power of the king's worship, has become unprecedentedly high, and they all have enough strength to charge forward.

They rushed hard, but the Chu army didn't do it here, and countless Chu troops came out of the alleys, delaying the march speed of the Song army. The city was immediately in chaos, but just as the battle began to stalemate, Feng Xiaotian's order arrived." Order: All the Chu troops abandoned the alleys, all moved to the city wall, and guarded the city wall, released arrows from the city wall, and attacked the enemy from a distance. ”

The soldiers of the Chu army who received the order all quickly scattered out of the alley, and then there was a rain of arrows in the sky, flying in. Because of the cover of night, the casualty rate of the Song army was particularly high, and after a while, more than 3,000 people had fallen. But in order to go home as soon as possible, the soldiers of the Song army are still trying to move forward.

The hard work paid off, and at the cost of the Song army's casualties, the vanguard finally reached the city gate, and at this time the back gate had been destroyed by the king, so this was equivalent to no obstacle. The excited Song Jun went straight through, with the first one, there was the second, and then there were more and more.

As soon as they left, someone immediately made a suggestion to Feng Xiaotian that they would send troops to intercept and kill them, but Feng Xiaotian did not give this order. He just said: "They are now like arrows, their momentum is like a rainbow, we can intercept them when we go up, but our casualties will not be small, and there is also the old immortal king enshrined, when the time comes, we will not intercept and kill but look for death, why should we do this stupid thing of killing 10,000 enemies and losing 8,000 ourselves? So pass my order, do not go down to the city for close combat, only long-range bows and arrows, and minimize casualties." ”

In this way, there were more and more soldiers in the Song army, and they reached the rear of the Shenmen Fortress, and finally even the old generals and others passed safely. By this time, more than 200,000 people had managed to arrive, looking at the soldiers who had been wounded by arrows and fell to the ground. The heart of the veteran general seemed to be dripping blood. And there are people in his heart who are even more concerned about him, and he has not yet been rescued! So he can only come to the king for help in a pleading tone." Wang enshrined, there will be a reluctant request, and please enshrine you can help," the veteran general said in a sincere tone.

"Oh, is it for that grandson of yours?" asked Wang Xian, a little curious.

"Yes, it is my unsuccessful descendant, to be honest, Feng Xiaotian's bastard boy, despicable and shameless! He actually used my only descendant to intimidate me, but I didn't dare to attack because of the rat trap, for fear that my poor boy would have some accident."

When he said this, he couldn't help but shed tears, and continued: "I am over ninety years old this year, this child is my only hope to live, he can't be fine, so I beg you, you must save him!"

Seeing this, Wang Xianfeng also couldn't bear it, he was also an old man, how could he not know the pain of a white-haired person sending a black-haired person? So he hurriedly stepped forward and held his body that was about to kneel. said in a firm tone: "Okay, you can rest assured that this matter is on me,"

After speaking, he flew out without stopping, and in a few breaths, he came to the city gate, where the two people were hanging, and there were soldiers in charge of guarding, who were frightened when they saw him coming, but they still had to abide by their duties, so they could only rush at him, intending to prevent him from saving people, but unsurprisingly, they couldn't even hold on to a breath. was beaten away by the king's palm.

Then with a wave of his hand, the aura was released, wrapping the two of them, and with a wave of force, he threw it directly in the direction where the old general was located, and saw that his task was completed.

So he glanced at it, and quickly found Feng Xiaotian's location., only to find out that the kid turned out to be. didn't want to hide his meaning at all, but ran directly to the back city gate and commanded the Chu army to attack the Song army, which seemed quite excited.

Now that he has a clear goal, Wang Fengfeng doesn't care about those mortals who want to rush up and fight with him, and directly knocks them down with a wave of his sleeves, and then ignores them. But what he didn't know was that it was his unintentional act that saved his life. When he rushed to Feng Xiaotian at an extremely fast speed, he didn't rush to make a move, but greeted him first. In the future, some people said that he, a senior, actually attacked a junior.

After standing still, he looked at Feng Xiaotian coldly, and Feng Xiaotian also stared at him without showing weakness, after they looked at each other for a few seconds, Wang Xianfeng first spoke: "Young man, you surrender! You have no chance of winning against me, and with your talent, if you are willing to surrender, you will definitely have a great future." “

In the eyes of the king, after he finished speaking. The kid should have immediately bowed his head in gratitude and surrendered, but things didn't work out that way.

Feng Xiaotian said coldly: "Senior Wang, I look at you, I didn't rely on your profound cultivation and slaughtered the soldiers of the Chu army at will, so I respect you so much, you really shouldn't come to this troubled water, if you retreat, then I will treat you as if you have never been here, and I will never send troops to hunt you down, but if you have to be aggressive, then I can only ask you for a lesson or two!"

"Oh?" Wang Xianfeng obviously didn't expect him to say this, he was really shocked, but he quickly reacted, and after laughing three times angrily, he said: "Okay, good, good, young people have courage, no matter what the result is today, you can be proud,"

No nonsense after speaking. A flying body rushed in front of Feng Xiaotian, the people on the Chu army's side were frightened, they didn't bring a master this time, and now they have to suffer a big loss, and on the other hand, Feng Xiaotian himself is also a little depressed, because he can't use long-range attacks, since the last time, after he desperately launched a lowest-level Five Elements Divine Thunder, he found that once the three major energies leave the body, they will become very unstable. Because he is a man and not a machine, he cannot arrange all three energies exactly the same, and then play the three forces exactly equally, which is like asking him to shoot at the same time and go to one container to get three gases, not only for the same time, but also in the same quantity. Without a certain strength, he can't do it at all, and with the management of the meridians in his body, he can barely do it, so he is now invincible in close combat, but in terms of range, he is a rookie.
