However, the attack of the Tanguts came faster than expected, and in the face of Lin Chong's raised torches, I saw that not far away there were already Tangut soldiers wielding scimitars fighting against my Yanshan guard. Gyeongju Mansion, where I live, is located in the center of Gyeongju City, and when the enemy attacks here, it is not only a matter of losing the city gate, but I am afraid that the enemy's offensive will be much more serious than expected. My heart sank slightly, and I had already made a plan to lead the Protector Army to retreat after the loss of Gyeongju City.

In any case, rush to the front line first to find out the specific situation. I asked Mei Lan to inform the ladies of the inner courtyard to be ready to retreat at any time, and then asked the guards to erect the banner of Murong and lead Lin Chong and a group of guards to rush in the direction of the city gate. Along the way, the murderous spirit, the heavenly and human sword tricks continue to flow, seeing the Xixia soldiers swing their swords from afar is cut in half, the guards and protectors around them gather more and more, and they all cheered loudly after seeing my earth-shattering swordsmanship, but the Xixia army was beaten back by me. In a well-designed border city like Gyeongju City, it was difficult to deploy a large-scale army, and the tens of thousands of Western Xia soldiers who rushed into the city were cocooned and beaten by us.

Under my invincible sword, the Protector and I finally rushed to the gates of the city, and the blood flowed all the way, and even I, who had always loved cleanliness, could not help but be stained with the blood of the enemy. Under the city gate, it was a different scene, under dozens of torches above and below the city, Zong Ze and Zhou Tong each led a team of military horses to fight with the Western Xia soldiers near the city gate, but due to the large strength of the enemy, they were never able to plug the gap. The Song army on the city wall was also beaten back and turned back, and it seemed that it would not be able to hold it.

After seeing my Murong banner, the morale of the Song army was greatly boosted, and they shouted "Marshal Murong!" "The Western Xia soldiers are demoralized, and they are constantly being cut off by me, and the severed limbs and arms under the horses are constantly being cut off by me, and I have proved to them the fate of Murong Fu who is blocking me. After struggling again, the Western Xia soldiers began to retreat. At this time, it shows the defects of the Western Xia soldiers, because the whole people of the Western Xia are soldiers, although many herdsmen are good at riding and shooting, in fact, they are not very suitable for the requirements of the army's orders and prohibitions, and it is not a big problem to rush up when they win the battle, but when they lose the battle, they often retreat in a swarm, completely ignoring the requirements of the break, and the result is naturally that the Western Xia soldiers outside want to rush in, but the Western Xia soldiers in the city are crying and shouting to rush out, When counting the results of the battle after the war, Lin Chong told me that there were thousands of Western Xia soldiers who were trampled to death by their own people under the city gate alone!

The battle lasted from midnight to the early morning of the next day, we not only expelled all the invading Western Xia soldiers, but also under my leadership, we consciously drove the collapsed Western Xia army into the Western Xia camp, constantly disrupting the opponent's formation and impacting the opponent's camp, and finally the entire Protector Army rushed into the Western Xia camp to slash and kill everywhere, and the Protector Army who was broken through the city gate was holding back a breath of anger in their hearts, As soon as Marshal Murong rested, the Protector Army made such a big basket, which was simply disgraceful, so it was ruthless to kill the Western Xia soldiers. My Protector Army rushed to the end from the gate of the Xixia Army camp, and then turned around and rushed back to kill, and found that any Western Xia generals who tried to assemble immediately rushed up to scatter and kill, so that they rushed back and forth to kill seven times, burning up the other party's grain and grass, and finally the Western Xia soldiers could no longer bear it, and more than 100,000 people began to collapse under the impact of my 5,000 Protector Army, and finally ran back.

However, it is a pity that on the one hand, I didn't find Liang Qiqi, the culprit scum, and later I heard that as soon as he saw my Murong Daqi, he immediately took off his marshal armor and put on the makeup of an ordinary Western Xia soldier and ran away under the cover of his own soldiers; On the other hand, the number of the protector army was still too small to completely annihilate the Western Xia army, and the Western Xia army regrouped and camped ten miles away from Gyeongju City.

In this battle, our side was defeated first and then won, the Protector Army suffered more than 2,000 casualties, the main gate of Gyeongju City was completely burned down by the other side after it was attacked, and the barracks and crossbows in the city were also damaged, and they needed to be renovated and purchased. However, the record was still very rich, killing 30,000 Western Xia troops and capturing 15,000, which seriously hit the morale of the other party, and the Western Xia army can be said to be greatly injured. All the Protectors who returned to the camp in triumph were wounded and exhausted, except me, of course. Since cultivating the recipe for longevity and receiving guidance from the Shaolin sweeping monk, my internal strength has become more and more abundant, and I can absorb vitality from the void at any time to replenish myself, so I am still full of energy when I take the lead in killing for half the night.

Arranged for Zong Ze and others to do a good job in the aftermath of the wounded soldiers, such as the placement of wounded soldiers and the guarding of prisoners, I came to the residence of Doctor Xue, the courtyard was full of wounded soldiers, Doctor Xue and several military officers were busy treating them, and when they saw me, they could only bow and salute simply, I motioned them to continue their work and walked directly inside. In front of the east wing, the door was open, and a handsome young man dressed in a small costume was helping Lu Junyi re-bandage his wounds. After seeing me, Lu Junyi hurriedly got out of bed to salute, but I stopped him.

I raised my hand to clasp his veins, the longevity recipe operated naturally, and I felt a trace of yin and cold internal strength and some residual poison in his meridians, presumably Divine Doctor Xue had already diagnosed and treated him, but some of the hidden dangers had not been completely discharged, it should be the means of the Demon Gate. Before, I secretly felt that Cihang Jingzhai's long-term confrontation with the Demon Gate was a bit superficial, but now it seems that in the face of the endless mysterious and insidious attacks of the Demon Gate, ordinary gangs may not have room to fight back.

I used the longevity technique to dissolve the yin and cold internal energy and residual poison in his body, and then straightened out the masculine internal force in his body, and then slowly finished the work. After looking at it, he had three long wounds on his chest, and his right shoulder seemed to have been pierced by an arrow, and it seemed that the enemy's weapons were quenched with poison, and it would not heal so much for a while, but fortunately they were all flesh wounds, and I should recover quickly after pulling out the remaining poison.

Lu Junyi's face flushed slightly, sat on the bed and hugged his fists and said: "Marshal Junyi Xie spent his internal strength to heal his subordinates, but this time it was not good to defend the city, and the city gate was lost, and it was difficult for his subordinates to atone for their crimes, so please punish the marshal!" ”

I solemnly said: "You have done your best, I heard that after you were seriously injured, you insisted on fighting with the demon sect and insisted on until General Zhou Tong went to help in time, if not, I am afraid that Gyeongju City has fallen, you have no merit in this battle, we have a big victory, hahaha!" ”

Lu Junyi choked up slightly and said, "Marshal ......"

I stopped him with a smile and continued: "It is said that although Captain Lu has not been in the army for a long time, he is proficient in bows and horses, and he has won the mantle of Master Zhou, and he is cautious. ”

Lu Junyi was silent, and then told the situation of the enemy attack last night. It turned out that the reason why the attack of the Western Xia Army was so smooth this time had a lot to do with the internal and external cooperation of the demon disciples in the city, although there were serious guards such as Lu Junyi and the Protector Army, but the demon disciples had strange methods, first disguised as the local guards, and when they approached, they suddenly threw powerful thunderbolts to injure the guards and the city gate, and then sent a signal to quickly capture the city gate, in which the demon gate master played an important role.

Demon Gate, Demon Gate again, these bastards who only have interests and no morality! I once again understand Cihang Jingzhai's original intention of persisting in the fight against the Demon Gate. The Loose Sect has been hidden for too long, and it was pinched as a soft persimmon by the people in the Demon Gate. I comforted Lu Junyi a few words, told him to recuperate from his injuries, and left.

When I came out, I met a beggar in tattered clothes at the door of Doctor Xue's house, it was the four elders of the Beggar Gang, and it seemed that they had been waiting for a while. Elder Song Qingxi, who was the leader, stepped forward and clasped his fists and saluted: "Beggar Gang Wu Changfeng and the four elders of the Gang Middle School to meet Marshal Murong!" Xi Feng, Chen Guyan, Wu Changfeng and others behind him all sighed slightly in their hearts: The world has changed dramatically, time has changed, and Nan Murong, who was on the same level as the leader of the beggar gang and was shouted and killed by the beggar gang, is now not only the leader of the righteous path of martial arts, but also has the full support of the imperial court, leading the army against Western Xia, known as the Murong Sword God in the martial arts, and Murong Guoshi and Murong Marshal in the imperial court.

I didn't hold it up, and returned the salute with a fist in the etiquette of the rivers and lakes: "The four elders are not harmed?" Some time ago, I got the help of your gang and escorted my family to Gyeongju, and recently Gyeongju City Guard War Guigang also contributed a lot, and your gang was benevolent and righteous to protect the country, and the world can be learned. ”

I invited them to sit down in a nearby teahouse, and there were Yan Shanwei and the elite disciples of the Beggar Gang guarding outside, but I heard Chen Guyan say: "Acting chivalrous and righteous, protecting the family and defending the country is the purpose of the establishment of the Beggar Gang, some time ago, the Beggar Gang had many accidents, not only expelled Xiao Feng Xiao Gang Leader who had made a significant contribution to our gang, but also was used by Bai Shijing, Quan Guanqing and other traitors, and promoted You Tanzhi, a bastard, to be the gang leader and attack the Shaolin faction. ”

I smiled slightly and said: "People are not saints and sages, besides, who knows that Bai Shijing and Quan Guanqing and others of your gang are so insidious and cunning, it is very rare for the four elders to be able to distinguish between good and evil and have the courage to admit their mistakes, and I am most afraid that those who refuse to face the reality and make mistakes again and again will be hopeless." Murong Fu walked the rivers and lakes, with just one reason, as long as it is in line with justice, it is tens of millions of people. Even in the court, Murong Fu has always adhered to his heart and never violated morality. ”

The four elders stood up in unison and said, "Murong Gongzi understands the righteousness, I will bow to him!" ”

But he heard Wu Changfeng say: "However, after several rounds of tossing, the beggar gang has been scattered, and its prestige in the rivers and lakes is not as good as day by day. I came to visit Murong Gongzi today, one is to ask Murong Gongzi to serve as the chief elder of our beggar gang, above the four elders; Second, I asked Gongzi to designate the next beggar gang leader for us. I believe that with the wisdom and character of Murong Gongzi, he will be able to help my beggar gang choose a suitable leader. ”

I was slightly surprised and said: "It doesn't hurt to serve as the Great Elder, there are many chivalrous people in the Beggar Gang, and they are my fellow Daoists." But it's a bit strange to designate the next leader of the beggar gang. As far as I know, the Beggar Gang has its own set of methods for electing the leader of the Gang, and it is necessary to convene a meeting of the Beggar Gang, which has been unanimously approved by the disciples of the Beggar Gang. ”

Elder Song said: "The beggar gang is now declining, and it is not comparable to the Qiao gang leader back then, but the decision to appoint the gang leader by the great elder Murong was made after the four of us discussed together and solicited the opinions of the gang leader's disciples with more than five bags, which is also in line with the rules of the gang." Originally, it would be great if Murong Gongzi was willing to serve as the helper, but the disciples thought about it, and it was not very decent for the elegant and carefree Murong Gongzi to lead a group of people called Huazi to do things, so they had the idea of this great elder. ”

Chen Guyan also said: "The beggar gang leader is designated by Murong Gongzi, and a gang leader is recognized by Gongzi, and his prestige and reputation can be convincing to the public; Second, it can strengthen the connection between the beggar gang and the son, at present, the Western Xia, Daliao and the Demon Gate are ready to move, and the beggar gang also hopes to do a distraction for the country and the people under the command of the son; Third, this is also a little selfishness of our beggar gang, I hope that the beggar gang can return to the middle of the martial arts righteous path, unite the disciples in the gang, and restore the glory of the past. ”

I nodded in understanding, and then said: "In my opinion, the beggar gang is the pillar of the Central Plains martial arts, and the gang leader is a high-ranking person, not an ordinary person can hold it. Therefore, I propose that the beggar gang leader be vacant for a period of time, and according to the performance of the disciples in the gang and their contributions to the martial arts in the past two years, after being proposed by several elders, a beggar gang meeting will be held to determine the gang leader, what do the brothers think? ”

The four elders said one after another: "What Murong Gongzi said is reasonable, so let's do it." "During the vacancy of the gang leader, the beggar gang also asked Murong Gongzi to decide on major affairs. "Wonderful, if you elect the gang leader in a hurry, it is really difficult to convince the public. ”......
