Outside the city, people shouted horses and neighed, and the war drums were deafening. A group of Jianghuai soldiers marched out from the large camp set up around the city, lined up in the plain area between the Jingling city wall and the Han River, and a big banner with the word "Du" fluttered in the wind at the Chinese army, and the army was at its peak and murderous. On the other hand, there was a dead silence at the head of Jingling City, and the soldiers defending the city were all like ashes, obviously intimidated by the might of the enemy.

Feng Ge, who heard the news, hurried back to the city, and several men in armor came forward, and one of them was a big man with a scar on his face and asked anxiously: "General Feng, why didn't the owner of the village come?" Could it be that at this time, he still only cares about messing with the demon girl? "These people were originally the leaders of the monopolistic villa, although they have been transferred to the generals of the Jingling army, but the experience of leading the army to fight is pitiful, and they have seen that the Jianghuai army, which has been mainly besieging Jingling for several days and only occasionally launching a few tentative attacks, suddenly put on a posture of all-out attack, and they are all confused, and they don't know how to deal with it.

Feng Ge waved his hand to stop the generals who were asking questions, led everyone to the city tower, and ordered his own soldiers to guard outside the door, strictly prohibiting others from approaching and listening. After arranging this qiē, a wry smile of exhaustion appeared on the face of the originally self-contained calm demeanor, and he said in a deep voice: "Just now, I went to see the owner of the village with Meng Ye, and I have exposed the identity of the demon girl of the Yin Sect in person. The demon girl was in trouble, and the owner of the village was unfortunately killed by her! ”

"What?" After listening to Feng Ge's news, all the generals changed color together.

"Silence!" Feng Ge pressed his palms down, shouted in a low voice, and then said with a solemn expression, "At this time, this room must not be heard, otherwise." It will definitely shake the morale of the army, and then the tomb will be self-defeating. ”

Feng Ge was originally a general of the Sui Dynasty in Jingling City, and he had always been strict in governing the army and loving the people, and he had a very high reputation in the city. After Fang Zetao entered the Jingling Tomb, the reason why he entrusted this veteran who was not the sole descendant of the mountain villa was to use his reputation to calm the hearts of the soldiers and civilians in the city. Listening to him at this moment, the originally frightened and noisy generals calmed down a little.

Seeing that everyone was quiet, Feng Ge briefly explained what had happened, and then opened his hand to show the talisman he had taken from Fang Zetao's corpse, and said solemnly: "The owner of the village is in danger. The old man is in charge of the tomb. It is said that the old man is old and thin. It was difficult to take on this important task, but now the situation is urgent, and the old man has no choice but to do his best. We look forward to your help. Protect the tomb together! ”

The generals exchanged glances with each other. One of them stood up and hugged his fists and said: "For the sake of Jingling's safety, the last general Zhao Ling is willing to listen to the old general's orders!" ”

The other generals also bowed their hands and said in unison: "The last generals and others are willing to obey General Feng's dispatch!" ”

If it's usual. This is the throne of the lord of the Ling City, and everyone is hot, and if you can't say it, you have to live and die for the throne. But now this throne is really a hot potato, Feng Geken took over, and everyone is happy to see it. Among them, there are even some scheming people who are even wishful thinking - at this moment, the old man Feng will be pushed out of the top tank first, and if he is lucky enough to keep Jingling in the future, who will be the city lord at that time will depend on whose means are high and the knife handle is hard.

Feng Ge is old and refined, and everyone's thoughts naturally can't hide from him, but he already has a plan in his heart, and he doesn't care much about it at the moment, even if he begins to divide the troops and send generals in an orderly manner. No matter how the generals have their own intentions, at this time, the will to preserve the tomb is aspiring, so no one is here to obstruct it, and everyone takes the order to go.

Waiting for everyone to disperse, Meng Xunzhen, who had been following Feng Ge's side without saying a word, said with a smile: "Seeing that the old general's command is determined, it makes the subordinates have a little more confidence in defending the city." ”

Feng Ge smiled bitterly: "Master Meng, don't make fun of the old man. The old man didn't dare to be presumptuous, if the old man had presided over the defense of the tomb earlier, he might be able to keep the city intact. But now that the owner of the village is dead, although the old man strictly ordered to block the news, the girl will not listen to the old man's orders, and will definitely inform the Jianghuai army of this matter. With Du Fuwei's scheming, he will definitely make good use of this matter to undermine the morale of our army. This is tantamount to hanging a sharp blade over our heads, but when this sharp blade is cut down is still up to the enemy, and we can only let others slaughter us! ”

Meng Xunzhen waved his hand and said: "The old general doesn't have to worry, although the way of marching soldiers is not what he is good at, but when it comes to how to boost morale, he still has a little idea. ”

Feng Ge was in high spirits and hurriedly asked, "Will Meng Ye plan to come out?" ”

Meng Xun was really about to answer, and a soldier hurriedly ran in outside the door, reporting with a frightened face: "General Feng, the enemy army has begun to attack the city!" ”

Feng Ge was taken aback, turned his head to look at Meng Xunzhen, and wanted him to explain how he would boost his morale.

Meng Xunzhen waved his hand and said confidently: "Let's go to the city first and see how the shape is going to be." ”

When the two came to the city, they saw a group of Jianghuai troops coming out of the formation, carrying siege equipment such as rushing cars, ladders, and arrow towers, and slowly approaching the city wall.

"Why hasn't the owner come yet?"

"If the coach doesn't show up, how can this battle continue?"

Looking at the approaching enemy, the long-suppressed panic of the soldiers defending the city gradually exploded, and they all clamored for Fang Zetao to come forward.

Feng Ge was very anxious in his heart, looking at the shape in front of him, if everyone learned that Fang Zetao was dead, he was afraid that if he didn't need the enemy to attack, there would be a big chaos in the city.

"Hahahaha......" Meng Xun suddenly let out a long laugh, the laughter contained real power, and the soldiers in the city could hear it clearly, and in shock, the city suddenly quieted down.

Meng Xunzhen pointed to the Jianghuai army under the city, turned his head and asked Feng Ge: "Old general, what do you think of the soldiers of the Jianghuai army?" ”

Feng Ge was stunned for a moment, although he didn't know why the other party asked, but he knew that he must have a deep meaning, so he replied truthfully: "Most of the Jianghuai soldiers are from reckless backgrounds, although they are not strict and well-organized, but they deserve the title of 'brave'!" ”

Meng Xunzhen shook his head slowly, a look of disdain appeared on his face, and said loudly: "In Meng's eyes, this is just a local chicken and tile dog!" ”

After that, he pointed to the cavalry general, a member of the siege team behind the siege team, and asked, "Does the old general know who this general is?" ”

Feng Ge had already roughly guessed Meng Xunzhen's thoughts, although he felt that this plan was too crazy, but now, he had to give it a try. At this moment, the enemy army was approaching, and he had clearly seen the appearance of the general of the Jianghuai army. Then he replied: "This person is Du Fuwei's confidant Sun Zhong. This person was originally a general of the Sui Dynasty, who was well versed in the art of war, and was later subdued by Du Fuwei, and was deeply trusted, and he must be the vanguard in every battle. ”

The contempt on Meng Xunzhen's face was overflowing, and he said: "I see that this person is coming, but it seems to be a sign for sale." The old general waited for a while, and took his rank for the sake of the enemy, so that the enemy knew that I should not be lightly offended! The words did not fall, and he did not wait for Feng Ge to agree. Then he turned and flew down from the city. feet touch the ground. The body crouched forward slightly, like an arrow off the string, shooting towards the enemy formation.

"Drums! Cheer for Meng Ye! Feng Ge saw that Meng Xunzhen really used this almost crazy method to boost his morale, and the blood in the old man's body that had been silent for a long time couldn't help but boil, and he shouted hoarsely and ordered.

"Knock knock......" The earth-shattering war drums sounded at the head of Jingling City. And Meng Xunzhen rode the drums to rush forward. In an instant, he had rushed into the place where the enemy was a stone's throw away.

"General Sun. That's the one who broke through the level a few days ago! Someone in the Jianghuai army recognized Meng Xunzhen and hurriedly reported to the chief general Sun Zhong to warn him.

"So what? This man relied on his martial arts skills and dared to break into our army's formation head-on. I don't know if I'm alive or dead, let go of the arrows! Sun Zhong didn't take Meng Xunzhen to heart. It is true that this person's martial arts are extremely high from the perspective of his body, but the battle between the two armies is different from the fighting of the rivers and lakes, and Ren is a figure like the three great grandmasters, if he faces off head-on with thousands of armies and horses, he will only end up in hatred and defeat.

With Sun Zhong's order, thousands of arrows in the Jianghuai army were scattered, like a torrential rain spilling towards Meng Xunzhen.

Meng Xunzhen, who was flying forward, suddenly let out a long roar, and the Xuantie heavy sword on his back came to his palm, and the iron sword of dozens of catties danced in his hand as if it had lost its weight, and the black sword body instantly lost its shape, turning into a black light building that shrouded his whole person. With Meng Xunzhen's current swordsmanship cultivation, this move in Dugu Nine Swords, "Breaking Arrow Style", finally showed a great power that was almost mythical. The arrows that come in touch only touch the light tower, and immediately bounce and fly diagonally, and often knock the arrows behind them down. Meng Xunzhen broke arrows all the way and advanced all the way, but he was not affected in the slightest.

Sun Zhong's face changed greatly, he had been in battle for a long time, but he had never seen such a powerful master, no wonder this person broke through the blockade of the Jianghuai army and broke into Jingling with his own strength. Seeing that Meng Xunzhen broke into front of his phalanx after a few plunders, he shouted wildly and ordered: "Gun array to resist the enemy!" ”

A team of soldiers armed with spears hurriedly stepped forward and lined up with guns to stop Meng Xunzhen.

Meng Xunzhen's feet did not stop for a while, his body spun sharply like a spinning top, and the Xuantie heavy sword in his hand also drew countless circles in the air with the rotation of his body, with different sizes and angles, and even the people with swords crashed head-on into the enemy's gun formation.

As soon as he entered the formation, the dense spears like a forest stabbed at Meng Xunzhen from all directions. But when he encountered the Tai Chi swordsmanship performed by Meng Xunzhen's divine sword, all the spears that were stabbed were pulled and transferred by a strange force, and the direction turned to the comrades around him to greet him.

In just a few breaths, Meng Xunzhen had already protruded from the gun array, and killed Sun Zhong, who was already close in front of him.

"General retreat!" Seeing that the situation was not good, Sun Zhong's personal guard captain shouted and asked Sun Zhong to temporarily avoid the enemy's edge, and on the other hand, he personally led more than ten elite masters to rush towards Meng Xunzhen.

Meng Xunzhen's eyes were murderous, and the Xuantie heavy sword slashed left and right, abandoning all changes, but each blow was a big killing move that condensed the strength of the whole body. In this way, his skill is several times more than the loss of time, if it weren't for the continuous growth of the yin and yang qi of his "innate creation and transformation skill", he would have exhausted his strength if he didn't have three or five swords. But hearing the sound of screams, Meng Xunzhen must kill someone every time he makes a sword, and his footsteps are not half stagnant.

Killing the last person in front of him, Sun Zhong was already close at hand. Looking at Sun Zhong, who had a frightened look on his face and turned his horse's head to leave, Meng Xunzhen exhaled and shouted: "Sun Zhong is dead!" The sword shot out in unison, and the Xuantie heavy sword turned into a black streamer and swept past Sun Zhong, and Sun Zhong's head immediately fell off his neck and flew away. Meng Xunzhen's figure turned in the air, and he grabbed Sun Zhong's head with his hand, turned over and flew in the direction of Jingling City. The Jianghuai army lost its main general, and the army's morale was in turmoil, and he easily broke through.

When he returned to the head of Jingling City, Meng Xunzhen held Sun Zhongren's head high, carried the remnants of his true qi and shouted: "Jingling will win, and the Jianghuai army will be defeated!" ”

The soldiers in the city saw Meng Xunzhen's courage in taking the enemy's generals in the thousands of troops and horses, all of them were full of enthusiasm and courage, and then looked at the Jianghuai army under the city who were a little dazed, and they felt that they were not afraid, and when they heard Meng Xunzhen's shouting, they immediately responded in unison and shouted: "The tomb will win, and the Jianghuai army will be defeated!" ”

Although Meng Xunzhen was weak and pale due to the huge loss of strength, his expression was extremely relaxed. He turned his head to Feng Ge and smiled: "At this moment, the news of the death of Master Fang Zhuang has come, and it should be fine!" (To be continued......)
