"It's okay, be bold, don't be afraid, Your Highness has been prepared for a long time." On the walls of Zhongning City, a woman carrying a long cloth package said to the guard Li Wuping.

Li Wuping looked at the dense army under the city wall and the dragon flag waving in the wind, and his legs were still a little trembling.

The woman behind him was a close confidant of His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince of Zhongshan Kingdom, and that night the Ninth Prince had caused a lot of pressure on his psyche, and he had seen the rumored terrifying existence. And this woman, as a close confidant of the Ninth Prince, has been with her all these days.

She deliberately came over to release herself to avoid letting her blood drain, and told herself that the Ninth Prince intended to give him a chance to make amends.

At that time, he was frightened when he heard about 50,000 people, but the cronies of the ninth prince told him that the ninth prince had already arranged everything, and he could annihilate them all when the Xuanyuan royal family attacked Zhongning City.

That being said, his legs were still shaking.

The ninth prince received news that an army of nearly 50,000 people from the Xuanyuan royal family had arrived at Tongxin City, and he would come to Zhongning City in a few days.

Zhongning City, as the last city in front of Ningdu, must be held.

And although he has never seen "Ming Rui" again, his heart has been wrapped in the fear brought to him by this "supernatural" prince, even if it is his most trusted subordinate, he does not dare to reveal half of the inside story.

Now "Ming Rui" suddenly went to the city wall, most likely for the 50,000 troops outside the city.

At this moment, a man came up from under the walls of the city, wearing a black cloak and a blue brocade robe, his pupils dilated, and the terrifying face of "Mingrui" in the small black room resurfaced in his mind.

He was followed by the subordinates of "Ming Rui" who held the special pass issued by him, and since the small black house was released by the woman, he ordered him to put the whole city under martial law, and as long as he had the pass order, he could enter and leave freely.

Li Wu calmed down, this woman has been following him, saying not to divulge the arrival of His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince, it seems that he still can't believe some officials in Zhongning City!

"Mingrui" stopped beside him, looked at the army gathered outside the city, and asked, "How is it?" ”

Seeing "Mingrui" slowly walking towards him, he couldn't stand the pressure and was about to kneel, but was dragged by a hand.

"General Li, there are many people, don't reveal the identity of His Highness." It's that woman!

"Yes, yes...... His Royal Highness has already had a perfect plan, and the general only needs to do his part well. Li Wuping hurriedly said, Tange's 30,000 advance troops besieged for several days, but they failed to take Zhongning City, who knows what is going on?

He would never think that it was his own credit for defending the city, and he was still very clear about how many catties and taels he had.

"Your Highness, there really are 50,000 troops outside the city...... Li Wuping said in a low voice, he was still very frightened.

"It's just a rabble." "Ming Rui" said disdainfully, "General Li, when the 30,000 advance troops of Tange couldn't take you, these 50,000 rabble were scared?" ”

"Your Highness, this ......" Li Wuping trembled, he couldn't make up his mind.

"Phew! What about the guards of Zhongning City? Is it a coward? Seeing that there was no reaction on the city wall, Chen Zhi under the city shouted again.

At this time, after the assembly of the army outside the city, Chen Zhi took the lead, rode on the horse, and shouted to the city wall: "Listen to the people in the city, I am Chen Zhi, the vanguard general of the first army of the first army of Emperor Huai of Great Xia....... and so on, it is difficult to write! This is a national thief, and it must be eliminated! Today, Your Majesty personally led the army to crusade, and wherever you go, lay down your arms, open the city and surrender, and don't be deceived by the thieves again! ”

The corners of "Ming Rui's" mouth curled slightly, and he said in his heart: "Your Majesty has learned to stand on the highest point of justice. ”

"You are the defender of a city, and the enemy army is coming to fight, you don't know what to say?" His face turned cold.

"Yes, yes, yes! The last general knows! Li Wuping hurriedly said, then walked to the edge of the city wall, looked at the army under the city, plucked up his courage, and shouted loudly: "The general is the defender of Zhongning City, General Anping, Li Wuping is also!" ”

"Who wouldn't talk big, General Li, talk to him!" Ming Rui" said.

"Huh? Your Highness, I'm me... What am I talking about? "Li Wuping, the six gods have no master.

To be honest, he didn't dare to go out of the city to fight.

"Don't dare, don't dare! What else do you say is worthy or not! Since you don't dare, then you are a cowardly guard, and the defenders of Zhongning City are all cowards! ”

Chen Zhi rode on a horse, the horse carried him back and forth, his spear pointed at the city, and said mockingly: "Yo, it turns out that there are still guards in this Zhongning City!" Do you dare to come out and fight me for 300 rounds? ”

"Nobody! You don't deserve to fight Ben! Li Wuping said disdainfully, how could he fight against a vanguard officer, who was a city guard, General Anping, who was a six-rank general.

On the eve of the war, the generals of the two armies engaged in a heads-up, and if others proposed that they should not fight alone, the morale would probably fall sharply.

The morale of the defenders of Zhongning City was naturally affected, and several generals and captains glared at the city, and one of the thick-bearded captains took the initiative to ask, "General! This thief in the city is very arrogant, and I, Liao Wenping, am willing to cut off the head of this thief for the general and dedicate it to the general! ”

Chen Zhi's words were obviously to lower the morale of the defenders.

When the two armies are engaged in battle, and the two sides are equal in combat strength, the one with high morale wins.

The city gate opened, and Liao Wenping led a hundred soldiers out of the city, and then the city gate was immediately closed.

"I am Liao Wenping, the captain of the Zhongning City Army, a pioneer officer, trying in vain to challenge General Li, I don't know the height of the sky! Kill you, it's enough! Liao Wenping reined in his horse and shouted to Chen Zhi loudly.

Li Wuping ignored him, but looked at "Ming Rui", who nodded, and then he said, "Go ahead!" Kill this thief for me! ”

"Yes!" Liao Wenping had to be ordered to go.

And Liao Wenping held two knives in his hand and rushed up.

The war horse stopped, and the hand-to-hand combat was encountered, and Chen Zhi's spear swept away, blocked by Liao Wenping's left knife, and the right knife was slashed at his heart.

"Yo hey, Zhongning City actually came out, it seems that not everyone is a coward! Since you came to die, then come! Chen's spear danced a beautiful spear flower in the air, and then pointed diagonally at the ground behind his wrist.

The two of them fought on horseback, Chen Zhi was wearing silver armor, and his weapon was a spear, which felt like Zhao Zilong.

Liao Wenping was not in a hurry, took the back of the horse as his foot, jumped lightly, his body was already in the air, and at the moment of falling, the double knife slashed straight towards Chen Zhi.

Seeing that this move was ineffective, Chen Zhi could only raise his hands high and block his double knives with his gun.

Seeing that the right knife was about to slash at his armor, he leaned back, hooked the stirrup with his right foot, and made a back trip, just dodging the knife.

The spear was retracted, his body swung back to its original place, and then another whirlwind drill, the spear seemed to be equipped with a motor, turning into countless shadows, stabbing at Liao Wenping from all directions.

The two are deadlocked, and now the competition is internal strength, and it depends on who can't hold on first.

Everyone above and below the city wall watched the battle between the two, Li Wuping was nervous at this time, if Liao Wenping could win, then the morale of the army could be stabilized, and the morale would definitely increase greatly, but if Liao Wenping was defeated, it would be even more difficult for them.

The strength of the two sides is condensed here, and although the barrel of this gun is made of pear wood, it has been injected with internal force in the battle, and the battle of the warriors cannot destroy the blade without first breaking the internal force of the opponent.

As long as Chen Zhi resists and flicks his double knives, he can shoot and kill him; The same is true for Liao Wenping, as long as his double knives cut off the barrel of the gun, he can slash at Chen Zhi's face.

"Until now, with his qualifications and military merits, he has become a regular military captain. This person is very brave, but he is a little irritable, and he can't bear to be ridiculed. ”

"Mingrui" smiled slightly, and asked again: "What realm is he now?" ”

"Mingrui" looked at the stalemate and asked, "Eh, what is the origin of this Liao Wenping?" ”

Seeing the obvious appreciation in the eyes of "Ming Rui", Li Wuping hurriedly said: "Your Highness, this person is a vulgar martial artist, and his father is a well-known dart master in Zhongning City, but he was later robbed and killed by a group of bandits. Liao Wenping was naturally angry, and ran to the mountain single-handedly to settle accounts with those bandits. As a result, this nest of thieves really let him serve it, solving the hidden dangers on the road from Zhongning City to Tongxin City. For this reason, the government ordered him to be recruited into the yali, and later the former Zhongning city guard saw that he had good qualifications, and intended to promote him and introduce him to the army. ”

At this time, seeing that the situation on the field had undergone some changes, Liao Wenping seemed to be a little weak and couldn't hold on.

"Drum sound! Let Liao Wenping come back! "Ming Rui" said.

"Well, half a year ago, I saw him do it, and at that time it was the day after tomorrow, so it should be about the same at this moment."

"Chen Zhi is the seventh acquirer, no wonder he can fight equally! This Liao Wenping is a talent, but he can't be folded here, as for the character, it will be done slowly! "Mingrui" thought to himself.

"It seems that the eldest grandson Mingyue has the same thoughts as me." The "Ming Rui" on the city wall smiled slightly.

Golden drums sounded on both sides, and this battle would definitely not be able to continue. The two of them had to regain their strength and return to their horses.

Li Wuping knew that Liao Wenping must have entered the eyes of this highness, so he ordered the golden drum to be beaten.

And when the golden drum on the city wall sounded, almost at the same time, the military camp on Xuanyuanding's side also sounded the golden drum.

The two of them repeatedly "blew each other in business", and there was a feeling of sympathy for each other, but the golden drum had already sounded, so they could only collect the army and return to the city.

Chen Zhi returned to the army and returned to Xuanyuan Ding and the eldest grandson Mingyue.

"You kid is not bad, you can take so many tricks from me, no wonder you dare to let go of such wild words." Liao Wenping put away the knife and said.

"You're not bad, there are very few people who can put so much pressure on me."

Chen Zhi stood up, and then said bluntly: "Zhongning City should not be underestimated, a captain in this district is actually on par with me, this bone is a bit difficult to gnaw!" ”

"General Chen, I remember that you are the seventh day after tomorrow, right? You have experienced so many battles, and you are only a captain on the other side, and you are also a captain of a city like Zhongning City that has no war, and you haven't been able to take it? Xuanyuan asked.

"The last general, Chen Zhihui, has returned to the army, see Your Majesty, and have seen General Changsun!"

"Get up, Chen Zhi, you played well this time!" Xuanyuan Ding said.

"You ......" Xuanyuan Ding seemed to be a little reproachful, but Zhai Yin on the side came to his side and whispered a few words, and his face returned to normal.

Xuanyuan didn't practice martial arts, so he naturally didn't know that this killer weapon couldn't be used easily, but as soon as Zhai Yin said this, he understood.

"Your Majesty...... In fact, I am already half a foot into the acquired Yae, and it only takes one opportunity to break through. The strength of this captain should only be between the sixth and seventh days after tomorrow, but he felt that his strength was a little unusual, and it seemed to be very domineering. It's not that the last general didn't do his best, but his exercises and internal force are indeed a little weird, so the last general planned to test it, so he didn't make a killing move. Chen Zhi's face turned red and said with some shame.

If he doesn't use his killer weapon, it will indeed be difficult for him to defeat his opponent with the strength of the day after tomorrow, but if he uses the killer weapon, he can certainly kill, but it also brings some sequelae to himself, if it is not a battle of life and death, he will not use the killer weapon.

The eldest grandson Mingyue smiled slightly and said, "Your Majesty, I think this person can fight with General Chen on an equal footing, wouldn't it be a pity if he killed him like this?" ”

Xuanyuan definitely agreed with her statement, "Young Patriarch, you are right, I really need this kind of talent very much. ”

"General Chen, it's okay, this battle is not a loss."

"Yes! If the last general is given another stick of incense, his internal strength should be exhausted, and the last general can defeat him, but ...... But I don't know why General Changsun wants to beat the golden drum? Chen Zhi looked at the eldest grandson Mingyue and asked.

Fortunately, the other party also sounded the golden drum, which means that the other party did not want the captain to lose.

The morale of both sides was not affected much, and they both believed that the enemy had beaten the golden drum and won the first battle.

Although the eldest grandson Mingyue and Xuanyuan Ding both knew how important the first battle was, they had the upper hand and returned the gold, what a big blow to the morale of their own army, but what a great encouragement to the morale of the enemy.

However, in order to get this talent, Changsun Mingyue felt that it was worth it.

"That captain should be the core of their city guards, right?" Chen Zhi also thought of this.

"Hmm!" The eldest grandson Mingyue nodded.

A school captain does not play a big role in a city, and if he dies, he will die.

In this first battle, the generals of the two sides were fighting evenly on the surface, but the opposite side still sounded the golden drum, that is to say, the other party was too concerned about the safety of the captain.

"Young Patriarch, what should we do next?" Xuanyuan Ding looked at the sturdy city wall and asked.

"Let's attack the city first!" The eldest grandson Mingyue is not sure about the specific situation of the defenders for the time being, so he has to use some cannon fodder to test the opponent's defense capability first.

"Good!" Xuanyuan knew what she meant, "Then let Shangguan Xiu lead the troops to attack the city?" ”

"Hmmm! Ordered Shangguan Xiu to lead 3,000 people to attack the city! Eldest Sun Mingyue ordered.
