Chapter 242: Coming
The white beast roared, trying to break free from the shackles of the iron rope in the north, but the iron rope was tightened more and more, and the neck was straightened directly from the back of the shoulder, strangling its vital parts.
Zhu Ciyi looked at the white beast that was temporarily trapped, and shouted at the gunner who was standing in the distance: "The gunner quickly come forward and bombard the lower plate of the giant beast, and do not harm its life." ”
The gunner received the order, and saw that the white beast had temporarily lost its ability to attack, so he forced the cannon barrel in his heart to the left and right sides of the white beast respectively.
With trembling hands, he refilled the shell into the barrel and ignited the fuse.
It was still unknown how much humanity the White Beast had left at this time, but that didn't mean he had completely lost his mind.
Looking at the moment when the fuse was ignited, the white beast knew what kind of disability it was about to face, and instantly its eyes widened with rage, its forelimbs plunged deep into the ground, and despite the pain of the iron rope on its body being trapped in the flesh, it raised its head high, and threw out all the twenty-eight people who were clinging to it like ants.
The cannonballs roared, and the shells on both sides fired in one direction, but they did not hit the target, and the two shells with the light of fire drew an arc like meteors and collided in the air, exploding, and the aftermath swept the entire mountain, and the gunners on both sides and the soldiers watching the battle from a distance fell backwards under the sudden momentum.
Several gunners who were close vomited blood and died on the spot.
Zhu Ciyi took nearly ten steps back before he could barely stand still, his chest ached for a while, and his throat was filled with fishy sweetness.
The white beast was furious, and rushed forward to smash the two turrets in front of him.
The remaining hundreds of soldiers entrenched on the hill retreated one after another, and their fighting spirit had long since been lost. A total of 3,000 people guarded Jiamen Pass, plus the gunners and infantry brought by King Qi after that, there were 4,000 soldiers, and now there are less than 1,000 people left!
Behind him, the fire ignited by artillery fire at the place where the white beast was reborn just now quickly spread to half of the hillside, but fortunately, only the earth and gravel on the hillside were spared, and the remaining men and horses who remained on the mountainside could not escape down the mountain in time, but were burned alive by the fire, and the screams were endless.
A crossbowman suddenly walked out of the crowd tremblingly, raised the crossbow arrow in his hand, knelt on the ground with a plop, looked at the giant beast and shouted: "Surrender below!" Ask the strong man to spare his life! ”
This soldier is different from King Xin and King Qi, but he was ordered to come and he didn't know if the white beast in front of him, which was as tall as a tower, was the warrior who broke up with a knife and a knife, but as a crossbowman, his eyesight was higher than that of ordinary people, and at a glance he saw the scimitar wrapped around the elbow of the white beast that was faint and glowed with blue light, and he was sure that the knife was the same as that of the warrior, so he boldly speculated that this white beast was the illusion of the previous warrior.
If this is the case, then maybe this white beast is just coming for King Xin at this time, he doesn't care how their grievances end, he only knows that he wants to save his life, and only wants that the white beast still has a trace of humanity, and can let him go as an insignificant soldier.
Seeing the actions of their companions, the rest of the soldiers who were also in the bow and crossbow battalion took the lead in relieving themselves, and they all knelt down and raised their bows and crossbows in their hands. Then the remaining artillery battalion and the few soldiers of the cavalry battalion who escaped by luck also followed suit, and nearly a thousand people knelt down in turn like wheat waves blown by the autumn wind, and begged the white beast to spare their lives at the same time.
In the face of the mighty surrendering army, a glimmer of light appeared in the white beast's originally obscure brown pupils, and a few strange things faintly flashed under the moonlight and firelight.
Is that the awakening of human nature from Tang Yinbrown?
King Xin squinted his eyes and carefully identified them, but unexpectedly, those eyes suddenly turned to stare at him, startling him, and took a step back, a cold sweat almost soaking his clothes.
The white beast really gave up the fearless attack on the nameless soldier, and turned slowly towards Zhu Ciyi, the king of Xin.
The king of Qi fainted and died not far away, and the thirty dead soldiers of the Iron Rope Array who had been trained since childhood lost their ability to fight, gunners, archers, crossbowmen, infantry and cavalry, and the rest of the people who were still alive on this mountain all succumbed to the obscene power of the giant beast in front of them.
At this moment, is he the only one left standing here alone against this evil obstacle?
The Xin Dynasty took a look at the mountain surrounded by firelight, and there was no sign of reinforcements coming up, let alone the figure of Tang Jiashan who came as he expected. At this moment, he felt what despair was like for the first time, and his eyes were full of bitter smiles.
He is different from King Qi. He was afraid of death.
Because I am afraid of death, I am cautious and take every step of the way, so I can go this far.
He thinks he has no last resort, but this time he is the only one who will lose his life and lose his life?
"The prince stepped back!"
Wei Ming suddenly came out from the side, blocking between Zhu Ciyi and the white beast, drawing his knife and pointing directly in the direction of the white beast, he actually wanted to fight to the death with it.
King Xin was stunned for a moment, then shook his head helplessly, reached out and pressed Wei Ming's arm carrying the knife down, and said softly: "Don't make fearless sacrifices anymore, it's not worth it." ”
Wei Ming did not stop, he still insisted on holding the knife in his hand high, and for the first time, he decided not to obey the order of this prince.
"My life, I make my own decisions. Whether it's worth it or not, you have to try it to find out. ”
With that, he curled the corners of his mouth and rushed forward.
In the face of Wei Ming's attack, the white beast did not take half a step forward, and only waited until the opponent came to his feet before gently raising his forepaw and slamming it down, no more, no less, just smashing his knife-holding arm under his palm.
King Xin looked at this scene and narrowed his eyes slightly.
The white beast could have slapped Wei Ming to death with one palm, but he had to work hard to grasp the timing and just unload the opponent's weapon - he was trying to save Wei Ming's life.
This white beast is not a monster controlled by animal nature. In its body, Tang Yin's brown mind had already awakened.
"Yin Brown!" King Xin seized on the last glimmer of hope and shouted at the giant beast that was three feet tall and one foot tall, "I know you still have a trace of sober consciousness. If you still remember the slightest hint of my appreciation for your cultivation, listen to me. ”
The white beast stared at King Xin, motionless.
As long as he took a step forward, he could easily solve this despicable villain who set up a game to hurt Xin Zi and kill his unborn child in a single breath.
But he didn't take that step.
"I admit that I want to take Xin Zi back, and I don't even hesitate to collude with King Qi," Zhu Ciyi saw that his words had an effect, and hurriedly explained: "But I don't want to hurt Xin Zi, let alone take her life." As you have always known, the position of this king is to advocate the abolition of the demon hunting order, everyone has their own life, and the Emperor of the High Heaven has already passed his due life, and it is a matter of anger and resentment to continue his life with the blood of demons......"
Tang Yinbrown had heard such words thousands of times, but now at this moment of life and death, is he going to take it out to fool himself again?
That's enough!
Tang Yinbrown shouted in his heart. The white beast swooped in the direction of Zhu Ciyi.
"Stop!"
On another hill far away from Tang Yinhao's mountain, a strong voice came.
The white beast stopped in confusion. Zhu Ciyi hooked the corners of his mouth slightly, knowing that he had escaped this catastrophe. (To be continued.) )
