Chapter 232 [The First Meeting of the Two]

Ten years ago, Yangcheng

Ten miles outside the city, the boundless military tent spread to the end of the field of vision, the camps are each other's horns, faintly arranged in a certain formation, and on the bright red banner of hunting, a big Yue character is swaying in the wind.

The military appearance of the camp center is neat, the discipline is strict, the sound of the training ground is shaking the heavens and the earth, the sound is spread to the four fields, the soldiers are practicing and parading, everything is in order, and the eyes are far away on the south mountain of Yangcheng, as if facing a giant beast that is ready to go, and wants to choose the city and devour.

However, the camps at the very edge of the camp show a completely different liveliness from the center, with a bustling flow of people, all kinds of men and women wearing all kinds of costumes, some wearing armor and helmets, some wearing light armor, some cloth and plain robes, some splendid costumes, and even some wearing the uniform costumes of the sect.

These people's weapons are also varied and omnipresent.

Knives, guns, swords, halberds, hammers, etc., and even some rare Qimen weapons.

The combination of these elements makes the surrounding camps full of a strong atmosphere of rivers and lakes, which is in stark contrast to the military camp in the center.

The only thing that the two sides have in common is probably the resolute faces and the flames burning in their eyes.

It stands to reason that the battlefield and the rivers and lakes have always been distinct and have their own positions.

And so many sons and daughters of the rivers and lakes gathered here, naturally there is something that invisibly shatters this boundary.

……

Four months ago, Yangcheng was suddenly attacked by the army of the Ji Dynasty, this battle was planned by the Ji Dynasty for a long time, starting from the army, until the troops were about to come to the city, the Celestial Dynasty did not get the news for a long time, and then it was a vigorous battle to defend the city.

Because of the lack of preparation, the Yangcheng garrison was taken by surprise, not only suffered heavy losses, but even the most important natural barrier, Yangcheng Nanshan, was also captured by the Ji army.

Subsequently, Wang Zhonghu, the defender of Yangcheng, led the soldiers and civilians of Yangcheng to carry out a difficult battle to defend the city.

Fortunately, Yangcheng has been a battleground for soldiers since ancient times, not only the city is strong, but most of the people in the city are veterans or military families, in short, it is a military city.

In the city, from the ancient old man to the drooping child, you can all pull out a battle.

However, Ji Guo came premeditated, and how could he be unprepared.

Hundreds of thousands of troops continued day and night, and the siege of the city for several days without counting casualties made the defenders of Yangcheng physically and mentally exhausted.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, on a dark and windy night, the rebels defending the city finally showed their fangs and slaughtered all the soldiers guarding the gate, opening the city gate for the besieging Ji army.

The army of Ji poured into the city like a tide, unstoppable, and Wanyan Hanur led the cavalry to rush through the city, and there was no enemy.

It's just that such a killing didn't make Yangcheng a single person frightened.

The soldiers and civilians in the city roared loudly about the Han people who had no surrender, and at the same time relied on the geographical advantages to do the final desperate struggle with the Ji army.

This is a battle to defend the city with no hope of victory, but as the last bulwark of the Han people in the Central Plains, even if they can't hope for victory, they must defend until the last moment and to the last man.

The children here have been watered with the idea of loyalty and patriotism by their parents since they were young, and they are proud to die on the battlefield.

Therefore, even the poor people hiding in the corner, when they saw the Ji army passing by, their eyes were red, and they picked up the weapons in their hands and attacked them.

On top of a Ji Jun's blood-colored halberd, there was even a young boy holding a wooden sword, with a flame of hatred burning in his eyes, and he was struggling in pain.

That night, the blood stained the entire Yangcheng, and none of the 300,000 soldiers and civilians in the city surrendered, and there were countless people who died generously.

When the war ended, Yangcheng captured by the Ji army was almost an empty city, full of ruins, and all that was left was dead bones.

The battle of Yangcheng shocked the whole world.

Today, the saint was greatly shaken, and issued five holy decrees in a row, gathering a large army and vowing to recapture Yangcheng.

The people in the rivers and lakes have expressed their solidarity and want to hate the 300,000 dead souls.

So there is a rare scene in front of me.

For this war, tens of thousands of sons and daughters of the rivers and lakes spontaneously came from all directions of the Central Plains, gathered here, and blocked the surrounding camps.

"I am Zhao Qingsong of the Qingshan faction, I am not talented at the level, I am willing to be the vanguard and slaughter the Ji army!"

"Ning Ziqian, the prodigal son in Xiajianghu, although his martial arts are not good, he is also willing to do his best to shed his blood for Yangcheng!"

"Li Moxi ...... in Xiahuizhou"

"In the lower dynasty Yanmen Sun Jin candle ......"

Dozens of people who ordered Guan Fen to write a book were registering the people from the rivers and lakes who came to help, and the long queue was more than a mile long.

"In Xia Shi Zhaoyu, dare to ask Brother Ren's surname, see Brother Ren's outstanding bearing, is he also here to join the army to help Marshal Yue recapture Xiangyang?"

In the queue, a swordsman dressed in splendid clothes and with an evil and handsome face leaned sideways and accosted the equally handsome and extraordinary young man behind him.

"Or else? Coming to this barracks for a tour? ”

The young man raised his eyebrows, looked at the swordsman in front of him with a squinting expression, and replied angrily.

He originally thought that with his reputation in the rivers and lakes in the past two years, he would come to this army not to mention being a guest, but he would have to have a special person to receive him.

But who knew that after revealing his name in the army, except for a few surprised whispers from others, the sergeant in front of him was not moved at all, but pointed to the long queue and let himself line up.

Line up!

I am dignified and the Cloud Breaking Sword Xie Xiaoyun is still here to line up with this rabble???

"In Baixian, south of Xiachuan, come here to help Marshal Yue."

"Wow! Chuannan Shenjian Bai Xian is here! ”

"I heard that he is about to break through the peak of the Heavenly Rank in less than thirty, and a White Stygian Sword is almost invincible in southern Sichuan!"

Well, line up, line up.

Xie Xiaoyun plunged headlong into the vast team.

"Hehehehe, Brother Ren laughed, the sword in Brother Ren's hand seems to be an extraordinary product, it must not be an ordinary person, so I am curious for a while, please don't blame Brother Ren."

Shi Zhaoyu made a confession.

Seeing that Shi Zhaoyu was humble and polite, Xie Xiaoyun was not good at putting on a shelf, and clasped his fists with both hands: "Under Xie Xiaoyun, Brother Shi doesn't have to be so polite." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Xie Xiaoyun felt a little strange.

Brother Shi, senior brother?

He suddenly felt like he was being taken advantage of.

"Hehehehe, Brother Xie just calls me Zhao Yu."

Shi Zhaoyu also sensed that something was wrong when he heard this.

In fact, he secretly ran out of his own family, and the surname Shi was just made up by him casually, just to hide people's eyes, after all, just his surname is easy to make people think about it.

"The sword in Brother Zhaoyu's hand is also very unusual."

Xie Xiaoyun was no longer entangled in the title, and looked at the sword in Shi Zhaoyu's hand, and his eyes moved.
