(5) Victory

The three thousand silver armor army, under the leadership of Gao Qing, suddenly rushed into the thick smoke.

"The front team quickly occupied the city, and the rear team followed me into the city and opened the city gate as fast as possible. ”

Because the smoke was too thick, Gao Qing shouted military orders, hoping for a quick victory.

But when he looked back at the flying team behind him, it was no longer a neat fan shape that had been arranged in advance.

The sergeants' flight altitude and flight distance have been misaligned.

The spirit beasts they rode on were high and low, up and down, and it was vaguely difficult to distinguish under the thick smoke, and they couldn't tell which was the front team and which was the back team.

Gao Qing's command was of no use at all.

What surprised him even more was that some of the soldiers' spirit beasts were actually enchanted and scurrying around, colliding with the surrounding spirit beasts, causing some silver-armored warriors to fall directly from the air to the city.

"The smoke was thick, but it wasn't enough to completely obscure the view. The Silver Armor Army led by himself is a strong man who has been cultivating for more than ten years, and this smoke will not make them panic, there is no reason for this?"

Gao Qing looked at it in surprise, the strange scene in front of him, and he was about to figure it out!

However, the battlefield is so brutal.

Maybe before you can react, death has already crept in.

"Put!" ...... "Put!"......

The continuous sound of orders from the Wanqiu defenders wafted in the thick smoke.

It was like a life-urging charm, which made the originally panicked Lanling Silver Armor Army feel cold.

After the order, the heavy bows and crossbows on the city wall were aimed at the sky and shot wildly.

I only heard the sound of "buzzing" breaking the air, and a large net flew all over the sky.

Then came the screams of the Lanling army falling from the city.

This weapon to defend the city is called: "Tianluo".

Specializing in restraining flying spirit beasts, it is the latest development of the god of war Xuanyuan Heng.

The "Golden Silkworm Silk" is mounted on the heavy arrow, and through the impact of the four crossbows, a large web of about ten meters is instantly pulled in the air to hunt flying spirit beasts.

This "golden silkworm silk" was purchased from the Miaosang tribe and is a mixed weave of golden silk, silk and spider silk.

Extremely tough, sticky, and shrinkable for binding.

Ordinary swords are difficult to cut, and once they touch an object, they can be closed instantly, making it difficult for prey to break free.

"Madam, this 'Tianluo' is the first time we have used it, it seems that the effect is good, this Lanling army is going to suffer!"

Zhu Dan was a little overjoyed.

"This is thanks to Susu, it wasn't for her from the Miao Sang tribe to bring us so much golden silkworm silk, today, I'm afraid we can only use ordinary iron arrows, in that case, I don't know how many soldiers ......"

Gongsun Eying was not overjoyed by the rout of the Lanling army, it seemed that all this had been expected, and her tone became solemn.

"Madame, rest assured, Lanling's attack this time is all soldiers of the Silver Armor Realm, they swooped down, not far from the ground, even if they were restrained by 'Tianluo' and fell down, they should only be injured, and they would not worry about their lives. ”

Zhu Dan stared at Gongsun Eying on the lookout, and took her words in the tone of an old man persuading juniors.

Because Zhu Dan understands that a woman of her age, who is only half her age, has experienced too much blood.

Her long-cherished wish is that the world in Jiuzhou is peaceful, and there will be no more wars and killings.

"Put!" "Put!"

The Wancheng soldiers were overjoyed when they saw that the other party had no power to fight back, and the more they fought, the more courageous they became.

And the tens of thousands of horses left in Lanling outside the city, seeing the soldiers who collapsed in the smoke and kept falling, not only regretted, but also inexplicably panicked.

No one thought that with such a huge disparity in combat effectiveness, what was instantly defeated was the Flying Bird Silver Armor, which was a hundred times more powerful.

"National Teacher!"

A certain general beside Zikui was frightened and eager to report.

"I heard that Gongsun Eying is a strange girl of the medicine clan, good at needles, and good at using poison, looking at the current situation, that smoke is not only blocking the sight of our army, I'm afraid it is poisonous!"

"Poisonous?"

Zikui was eager to win, and was stimulated by Gongsun Eying's words, and his mood was already messy!

Hearing the general's reminder, his eyebrows immediately tightened.

He thought to himself: "If it is poison, he has also dabbled in it, the smoke in the city is not abnormal, and besides, his grandson Eying is a genius, how can he refine so much poisonous smoke in such a short time! If it is the Xuanyuan army guarding the city with poisonous smoke, why is there no sign of poisoning?"

Just when Zikui was hesitating, Gao Qing on the front line saw the clue clearly.

The black-feathered eagle he rode had the reputation of "clairvoyance";

But in the thick of the smoke for less than a moment, it had begun to jolt from side to side, swaying up and down.

And I felt more and more dizzy, and even felt a little nauseous, obviously showing signs of poisoning.

After all, Gao Qing's cultivation has reached the Golden Armor Yuan Realm.

Although it is only the early level of platinum, this bit of poison can still be resisted.

"Soldiers, the smoke is poisonous, use the vitality to protect the body, and release the vitality to drive away the poison. ”

Although Gao Qing gave the order loudly, it was too late.

The smoke was so thick that most of the generals had already inhaled the poison gas into their bodies.

And people can drive away poison, but spirit beasts are not easy to do.

The trend of defeat did not change because of Gao Qing's command.

The sound of "Tianluo" flying, the sound of spirit beasts stumbling and screaming, and the sound of soldiers falling ** came out of the thick smoke, making those who heard it shudder.

Gao Qing is a rare general of the younger generation in the Lanling Army.

Because of his uprightness and loyalty, courage and good fighting, he was deeply loved by the soldiers and respected by the king.

It was undoubtedly a great shame for him to suffer such a defeat when he led the army for the first time;

Even if he survives, he will lose face and have no place to embarrass himself.

At this time, he felt that the defeat was decided, and he had already put life and death out of the way, just asking for death.

Gao Qing urged Yuan Li, and white light filled his body.

He grabbed the Blackfeather Eagle with all his might, picked up his spear, and headed straight for the lookout.

"Gongsun Eying, who is so vicious, poisons my soldiers and accepts his life!"

"Changhong runs through the sun......"

When Gao Qing shouted, the spear in his hand flashed rapidly, condensing a powerful Yuan Force Wave.

The sharp blade of the spear wrapped a beam of blinding white light two meters wide, pointing straight at the lookout.

"I can't help myself!"

Looking at the sudden and extremely fast attack, Zhu Dan intercepted it with a horizontal knife.

"A Thousand Slashes!"

The golden light, with the force of the split, flew out;

Gathered in the air into a giant golden broadsword, straight to the peak of the spear released by Gao Qing.

As soon as the power of the two beams of vitality came into contact, lightning flashed in an instant, and a loud roar resounded through the city.

I saw a huge golden light and shadow, and after splitting the white light, it still slashed towards the head of the black feather eagle with lightning speed. Gao Qing already felt bad, and hurriedly turned sideways and raised his chest to block the attack of the blade.

"Touching ······"

The huge golden light exploded, and the black-feathered eagle was pressed down by gravity and fell in a straight line, hitting a gap several meters wide in the protective wall.

And Gao Qing was even more uncomfortable, after being ejected a few meters away, he stumbled to his feet with the support of the spear.

His hands trembled with shock, and the corners of his mouth were covered with blood.

"You and I are both cultivating metallic Yuan Force, but, you have just advanced to the Platinum Qi Realm, and there is a cultivation gap of nearly twenty years between you and me, and you dare to spread wild in front of the old man!

Zhu Dan saw Gao Qing's surprise attack on Gongsun Eying, and he was angry.

Raise the knife again, want to get results, and save your life.

"Wait, old general!"

Gongsun Eying stepped down from the lookout, and after looking at the trembling Gao Qing with a side eye, she turned to look at the Lanling army a few hundred meters away.

"The general should be very heartbroken when he looks at the Lanling soldiers who are bound and wailing all over the city;

If you break through the city and enter, then the blood of my Xuanyuan army and people will be flowing, and who will be heartbroken for this;

When the general is on the battlefield, he should understand what war means!"

Gongsun Eying maintained an extremely calm tone.

"I don't disdain to use poison! For those who can be poisoned, poison is poison, and for those who can be saved, poison is medicine;

Your national teacher also understands pharmacology, if the general leads the troops back at this time and treats them in time, your losses will be minimized;

If not, you're to blame!"

Gongsun Eying's did not have the slightest intention of deterrence.

But in Gao Qing's heart, there was an inexplicable fear.

In this fear, there is also a little reverence.

The beautiful and peaceful woman with a big belly in front of me seems to have some kind of magic.

Her words, little by little, are eroding her own brain.

If you want to flee from the battle as the commander of the whole army, this is definitely not Gao Qing's doing;

But seeing that the siege is hopeless, the defeat is decided, and if you are dying, you will only lose more silver-armored soldiers.

"Dingding······

Just when the dilemma was in place, the sound of the Lanling Chinese army sounded gold.

"Go back, take your Silver Armor with you. Tell Zikui that I will not kill Lanling soldiers indiscriminately, this is my previous promise. ”

Gongsun Eying's calm face did not show any joy or anger.

It seems that this ending, she has long expected it.

"General Gao, retreat quickly! General Gao ······"

Gao Qing, who had not yet recovered his senses, was supported by several generals who came to the rescue, rode on the black-feathered eagle, which could barely fly, and stumbled to lead the troops to retreat.

In the sky above Wanqiu City, the flying team with no combat effectiveness was already dizzy and had no intention of fighting.

Hearing Jin Ming's retreat, they all fled in embarrassment!

"Mingjin collects the troops, Lanling soldiers, retreat and camp for thirty miles. ”

After Zikui was convinced that the smoke was poisonous, he immediately made a decision and ordered the troops to be withdrawn.

Looking at the birds and silver armor that were defeated in the air, Zikui was full of unwillingness and chagrin, and there was no longer that domineering.

The army of 50,000 that had been mighty before was defeated like a mountain, and with terror and fear, they scattered and fled to the jungle thirty miles away.

"Withdraw! Lanling withdraws! Lanling withdraws!"

At the head of Wanqiu City, the defenders of Xuanyuan waved their flags, and everyone shouted.

They originally held the belief that they would die, and they were determined to live and die with Wanqiu.

Unexpectedly, in less than a stick of incense, the battle would end early, and the powerful enemy would be defeated and flee.

At this time, everyone couldn't hold back the ecstasy in their hearts, so they could only shout!

Only shouting!

Only cheers!

"Hey, the old man hasn't had a good time yet! ”

Zhu Dan stroked his beard and smiled from ear to ear.

"It is said that the prince is brilliant with soldiers, I think you are also a clever man! Madam, you have to tell the old man, this gentleman's shadow lily of the valley is mysterious!"

"Yes, yes, madam, the Junying Lily of the Valley that you asked someone to collect is for the people to treat diseases, why did the Lanling army enter the smoke, like poisoning, all of them are dizzy and have no combat effectiveness?"

Hearing Zhu Dan's question, several team leaders also surrounded him and were busy asking questions.

"The use of poison is not what I want, the matter is urgent, only in this way can we keep Wanqiu and reduce casualties. ”

Gongsun Eying looked at the Lanling soldiers who were bound all over the ground, and spoke seriously.

"After refining the medicine, Junying Lily of the Valley has the effects of soothing blood and activating the blood and meridians, strengthening the spleen and protecting the heart;

Its branches, leaves, flowers and fruits are all poisonous, but the toxicity is very weak, and the siege army of Lanling is all in the silver armor Yuan realm, which could have been resolved by Yuan Li;

But they were defenseless, and the smoke was too thick, and if they inhaled a large amount of it, they soon showed symptoms of poisoning;

And for flying spirit animals, the smoke of withered grass is a great stimulus;

If there are mixed toxins, they are even more difficult to bear. ”

Gongsun Eying looked at everyone's surprised expressions and picked up a bowl of soup and medicine that had not been drunk in the corner of the city.

continued: "In the prescription I gave to General Zhu, the main ingredients are Poria cocos branches and Cistanche roots, as well as a small amount of half-branch lotus leaves and dandelions;

It is an ordinary herb that clears heat and detoxifies, decoction and medicine, and is to protect my Xuanyuan soldiers and the people from the suffering of poisonous smoke;

If there is any leftover, give it to the soldiers of Lanling to drink!

They are also victims of war!"

Speaking of this, Gongsun Eying was already full of melancholy.

"Madam, do your best to protect my Wancheng, be compassionate to the heavens and people, and care for the common people, this is the blessing of my Xuanyuan and the blessing of the people!" Zhu Dan was already full of respect after hearing this.

"The blessing of Xuanyuan! the blessing of the people! ·······"

After hearing this, the soldiers were full of warmth in their hearts, and they spontaneously shouted in unison.

"Mrs. Yu, General Zhu, in this battle, only more than 100 soldiers of our army were slightly injured. Captured 822 people of the Lanling Silver Armor Army and 540 spirit beasts. Please instruct the general. ”

The soldier's military report made everyone smile, they already knew that the battle was a complete victory, but they didn't expect the harvest to be so big.

"Hmm...... Descend to seal his Yuan Li and temporarily detain him. Spirit animals are carefully raised, and then distributed after domestication, and those that are difficult to domesticate are released into the jungle. Madame, do you think this is appropriate?"

"Appropriate, proper, how wrong is General Zhu's arrangement!"

A smile finally appeared on Gongsun Eying's calm face.

"I know that if you kill these spirit beasts and refine the essence blood to improve the Yuan Power of the soldiers, you are afraid that you will be sad for these spirit beasts!"

Zhu Dan pretended to be proud.

"Improving the cultivation of Yuan Force, using the essence and blood of spirit beasts can be said to be twice the result with half the effort, but it is too cruel. By the way, where is the Lanling army retreating now?"

Gongsun Eying suddenly changed the topic, as if she had a sense of foresight.

"According to the investigation of the Swift Army, the army is repairing thirty miles away, and there are signs of marching south. Could it be that Madame is worried about ······"

Zhu Dan seemed to see Gongsun Eying's worries.

"Yes, I'm afraid that Lanling is not just for Wanqiu, I'm afraid there are variables on the prince's side. ”

Gongsun Eying's calm tone became a little hurried.

"Old general, order the whole city to be on alert, arrange a thousand soldiers to escort the people of the city to evacuate to the north, and quickly send the Swift Army to inform the prince of the situation here. ”

"Ma'am, is it really that serious?"

Zhu Dan looked worried.

"I'm afraid it's worse than I expected, and we're going to prepare for the worst. ”

Zhu Dan comprehended, did not ask any more questions, and after bowing with the generals, he turned around and went down to the city and deployed separately.

At this time, Gongsun Eying stood alone at the head of the city, looking at the Luoshen Peak in the south of Wanqiu City.

The light of the slanting sun on the top of the mountain shone on her beautiful cheeks.

It is full of charm and charming.

But in such a quiet and beautiful picture, there are a lot of anxious feelings.

You must know that the place where Gongsun E's beautiful eyes are staring at is the person she cares about the most in her heart - the prince of Xuanyuan Kingdom, the god of war in the hearts of the people, the father of Xing'er and the child in her womb, and her husband.

He will face more enemies, greater risks!
