According to the intelligence that the Hawkeye Battalion had spied out these days and Yu Lang's own observations, he roughly estimated that the defenders in the city would not exceed 5,000 people, and Xiao Bolu, as a vassal state of Tibet, rarely experienced wars, and the combat effectiveness of the soldiers in the city was also very weak.

"Father-in-law, the rattan bridge of Poyi Water has been cut off by me, and it is impossible for Xiao Bolu to get reinforcements from Tubo, and now Poyi City is already in my Tang pocket."

Gao Xianzhi nodded: "That's right, in order to prevent the Tubo army from taking the risk of forcibly crossing the Poyi River, I left Li Siye's Modao battalion there to guard." The city is indeed within reach, and our task now is to take it at the lowest possible cost, with fewer casualties and as few innocent people as possible. ”

Yu Lang's idea was to go into the city by himself to persuade him to surrender first, and salute first and then soldier. Gao Xianzhi disagreed with this, this is a matter of destroying the country, no matter how cowardly the lord of the little Bolu country is, he will not surrender, Gao Xianzhi does not want Yu Lang to take risks.

The two were discussing it to the extreme, and the soldiers outside the tent reported: "The lord of the little Bolu country is alone in the big camp, please surrender!" ”

Yu Lang laughed: "I still wanted to go into the city to persuade him to surrender, but I didn't expect him to be unable to sit still first." ”

Gao Xianzhi did not take it lightly: "I'm afraid that those who come are not good, and those who are good will not come." ”

Hongye did not carry any portable blades, wore a regular uniform, and did not pose as the lord of a country at all, but looked like a middle-aged scholar from the Tang Dynasty.

Gao Xianzhi did not dare to slack off, the two countries must not be wary of it, not to mention that the other party is the Son of Heaven, but he came alone with full sincerity, and invited Hongye to sit down at the head of the Chinese army's big tent, and he and Yu Lang were on both sides.

Hongye arched his hand: "Hongye has always admired the majesty of the Heavenly Empire, not only the power of millions of soldiers, but also the most admired Tang culture. ”

This person is not only fluent in Chinese, but also speaks elegantly, which is really hard to get rid of.

Hongye paused, observed the reactions of the two, and continued: "Hongye urgently needs the five-color stone because of the Five Elements Exercises he has practiced since he was a child, so he intercepted the Tang Dynasty tribute and regretted it. This matter was originally just a trivial matter, and Hongye discounted the five-color stone to a hundred times the gold and silver to return to Datang. In addition, my little Bolu is willing to serve the Heavenly Dynasty as the suzerain, pay tribute every year, and come to the court every year, and hope that the two generals will have mercy on the lives of my little Bolu innocent people and Tang Dynasty soldiers, and stop fighting. ”

Gao Xianzhi smiled: "Why should the lord of the country be like this, it is the will of my Tang Emperor to destroy your country, and it is definitely not something that the two of us can change without permission, besides, although this matter started because of the five-color stone, does the lord of the country think that the intention of my Tang Emperor to send troops is only for those tributes?" How naïve. ”

Hongye's expression darkened: "Yes, presumably His Majesty Xuanzong used my Xiaobo rhythm knife in order to serve the four yi and deter the vassal states." But after all, I caused this fire, and Hongye is to blame. Finally, let me say a few more words, have you two already made up your mind to destroy my little Bolu? ”

Yu Lang nodded regretfully, this is Xuanzong's will, even if he admires this person in his heart, it is impossible to withdraw his troops at this time despite the condemnation of the world, so how to face the tens of thousands of Western Expeditionary troops who died on the road.

Hongye got up and bowed to the two: "Even so, Hongye can only be offended." Hongye inherited the national throne from the hands of the emperor, and there is no reason to give it to others. I have two things to tell you, one is that my little Bolu has surrendered, and the soldiers and people in the city have received my orders and will not resist, and second, I am no longer the lord of the little Bolu country, but just an ordinary little Bolu man, and I will fight and die for my country. ”

Gao Xianzhi even felt a little ridiculous when he heard this: "You mean that you want to challenge my entire Western Expeditionary Army with the strength of one person." ”

"Exactly!" Hongye responded loudly, and then with a wave of his robe sleeves, the entire Chinese military tent turned into dust, and then flew high in the blue sky, coldly looking down at the 40,000 Tang army.

The moment the Chinese army camp exploded, almost without waiting for Gao Xianzhi to give the order, the soldiers outside the tent were already firing thousands of arrows, shooting at Hongye in mid-air.

Hongye stood still, waited until the bow and arrow were close, and shouted in a low voice, "Break!" All the arrows turned back ten times faster than before, and the archers suffered heavy casualties.

Thousands of bows and arrows at one time were also a great drain on Hongye, and he gasped heavily, concentrating on the next round of the Tang army's offensive.

Yu Lang frowned: "Father-in-law, this person's cultivation is Tongxuan, I am afraid that he has reached the peak of incomparability, although it will not wipe out our army, but if he is bent on death, I am afraid that he will suffer heavy casualties." ”

"What, the pinnacle of no phase!" Gao Xianzhi couldn't calm down anymore, how could he not understand that such a small country would produce such a person, and the peak of Wuxiang was also a palace-level grandmaster in the Tang Dynasty.

A person of this level would not be stupid enough to fight tens of thousands of troops to force himself to run out of oil, but at this time, Hongye was bent on fighting and dying for the country, and he actually put on a posture of not dying.

After figuring out this person's cultivation realm, Yu Lang knew that flying into the air at this time and shaking this person hard was undoubtedly looking for death, and he had to wait for this person's internal loss to be extremely serious before he could make a move. Although the cultivators of the Phaseless Realm can directly dispatch the aura of heaven and earth to cast spells, they also have to be guided by internal breath, so although their own consumption is slower, there is always a consumption.

The means of consumption are simple and cruel, and can only be filled with human lives.

Gao Xianzhi stopped the soldiers from releasing arrows, turned his head and discussed with Yu Lang: "This person is flying high in the air, only bows and arrows can enter his body, but if the archers shoot arrows at him, if they commit suicide, it must be like a way to really consume him." ”

Yu Lang glanced at Hongye in the sky, and ordered coldly: "Don't take care of this person, the three armies will open and slaughter the city!"

The cavalry battalion moved in response, and the six thousand elite horsemen went straight to the city of Sindo, where the gate was open.

Sure enough, Yu Lang's move forced Hongye to fly down to block the way of the Western Expeditionary Army.

Hongye's face was full of anger: "The Celestial Empire is a country of gentlemen, how can you do such a barbaric thing." ”

Yu Lang stepped forward: "A tooth for a tooth, an eye for an eye!" You relied on cultivation to kill and injure the soldiers of our Tang Army, why should we treat your people with courtesy! ”

Even if Hongye wanted to take Yu Lang's life, Yu Lang sacrificed a sword and a sword, and tried his best to take the three sword qi of Hongye, but he couldn't bear the majestic power and spit out a mouthful of blood. Seeing that the main general was in danger, the soldiers of the Xiaocai battalion desperately swung their knives and slashed at Hongye, and Hongye had to turn around to save himself.

In an instant, the cavalry battalion had fallen 300 people, and a group of infantry also rushed up fearlessly, vowing to kill this demon who had cultivated to the sky on the spot to avenge the dead brothers.

Hongye was no longer at ease at this time, covered in blood, like a killing god who crawled back from the underworld.

Under the dispatch of Yu Lang, the army was divided into several ways to attack the city of sin, Hongye was cultivated to the sky, teleporting back and forth, after all, it was difficult to support alone, there was already a team of men and horses leading the city, and a group of Tang troops waved their swords and roared: "Slaughter the city!" ”

In the chaos of war, Yu Lang and Hongye had two more moves, the old injuries were affected, and his physical condition was not optimistic, he shouted loudly: "Hongye, do you want to bury the lives of all the people in the city with your own hands?" They are the little people of Boru, who worship you like a god! If you insist on doing this, not only the city of sin, but also all the living beings of the entire little Bolu will be slaughtered, can you bear this heinous sinful karma! ”

A moment of confusion flashed in Hongye's eyes, and then he returned to crimson: "This heinous crime was not committed by me Hongye, it was committed by your Tang Army!" The matter has come to this, I will definitely want your 40,000 Tang troops to die here today! ”

The murderous Hongye could no longer tolerate mercy, and the soldiers of the Western Expeditionary Army were cut off like pieces of reeds by this person.

None of the officers and soldiers of the Western Expeditionary Army flinched, knowing that this person was by no means as strong as a human being, but they still lined up to fight with him regardless of their lives.

The blood had turned the soil of the city of Sindor red, and the young soldiers swooped down on it and fell to the ground like soft mud. Yu Lang couldn't bear it anymore, grabbed a knife and a sword and flew up, fighting to the death with Hongye alone.

The two great seals of Vermilion Bird and Singularity came out together, and they were entangled with Hongye's Five Elements Ring Road Seal.

Hongye's expression was solemn, at this time, most of his internal breath was consumed, and he did not dare to be distracted in the face of Yu Lang's fierce offensive, and he dealt with it with all his strength.

In an instant, the two fought fiercely at a speed that was imperceptible to the naked eye.

Suddenly, Hongye's complexion changed greatly, and he felt that the power of the Five Elements Ring was attracted by a huge pulling force.

"You're crazy! With your current realm, if you absorb the power of my Dao Seal, you will not be able to escape the end of exploding and dying! "Hongye is well-informed, and he sees that the Singularity Dao has the ability to absorb the power of others, but he also sees its dead end.

Yu Lang laughed miserably: "Even if I pass with you, I don't want to see the brothers of the Western Expeditionary Army suffer more casualties." ”

The Vermilion Bird Dao Seal was nourished by the residual strength of the Singularity Dao Seal, and it hissed in a high-pitched manner, and it also entered the phaseless realm when he landed. Yu Lang's pair of Dao seals have all advanced to Wuxiang, and the sea of qi is more majestic, and he is becoming more and more courageous with Hongye.

The Singularity Dao Seal has gone out of control, and Yan has continuously absorbed the power of Hongye into Yu Lang's body.

Yu Lang and Hongye both roared in pain, and the two of them were not able to grow an inch of grass within five zhang, and the cold sword qi tore everything within the range into pieces.

The officers and men of the Western Expeditionary Army had to withdraw from this range.

"Yu Lang, Yu Lang, Yu Lang!" The soldiers of the Western Expeditionary Army had tears in their eyes, they were unable to participate in a duel of this level, so they had to roar out their inner voices.

The dazzling white light flickered away.

The Singularity Dao Seal completely absorbed Hongye's Five Elements Ring Dao Seal.

Yu Lang stood in place and didn't dare to move, and firmly designated Hongye's face door with a sword in his hand, Yu Lang was already at full capacity at this time, and if the sea of qi fluctuated slightly, he would explode and die on the spot.

"Yu Lang, Yu Lang, Yu Lang!" The soldiers cheered even more, thinking that Yu Lang had won and defeated the demon-like man.

It's a pity that it backfired, Hongye's eyes were clear, and the momentum of exhaustion climbed to the peak in an instant: "I see, if it is not broken, it will not stand." ”

Hongye actually had an epiphany in this great battle and advanced to the supreme realm pursued by countless cultivators—the Apocalypse.

In an instant, countless Dao Lun sounds poured into Hongye's mind.

"Chaowen said, you can die at night." Hongye glanced up at the sunset that was about to fall into the horizon, and his eyes were full of pity for Yu Lang and all the soldiers of the Western Expeditionary Army.

As soon as the apocalypse is reached, it is created. It is not a problem to move mountains and reclaim the sea, destroy cities and villages, let alone 40,000 soldiers? When a cultivator reaches this realm, he can already be called a land immortal. Wuxiang and the apocalypse seem to be one step apart, but in fact, they are very different, but I didn't expect Yu Lang to help Hongye cross the gate of heaven by mistake.
