Chapter Ninety-Seven: Please Enter the Urn
Seeing that I retreated with my men, Zhao Yan directly pulled out the sword at his waist and commanded the army to start attacking, and for a while, the sound of war drums and horns was endless, as if it was an omen of their victory.
Even so, I and a group of Yin soldiers quickly withdrew from the city wall and ran towards the place where the large army gathered, at this moment there was a loud "boom", and the tall city gate was blown up into a big hole, followed by a series of crashing sounds, the hard city gate finally could not stop the violent impact of the siege vehicle, and finally was completely knocked open in the last impact.
For a while, countless Yin soldiers rushed into the city like crazy and chased after us, and when I saw this posture, I had a trace of cunning in my heart for no reason: Let you get scared first, and you won't be able to laugh for a while.
In other words, we rushed to the place where the large army was concentrated and hidden, and then turned our heads and waited for the enemy to rush forward.
Now the large army is still in ambush secretly, and there are less than a thousand Yin soldiers around me, Zhao Yan saw that we did not continue to escape, and felt that the victory was in hand, and the army under his command entered the city gate, and then walked towards us.
In a few minutes, their army had already arrived a few meters away from us, and at this time, Zhao Yan was still standing on top of the chariot with the hilt of his sword in his hand.
Only now can I see the face of this female general, a blue armor with a black cloak behind her, the whole person is very heroic, and I am also a little surprised when my eyes are fixed on her face.
Her skin is better than snow, her eyes are like a pool of clear water, and when she looks forward to it, she has an elegant and noble temperament, which makes people feel ashamed of herself and dare not blaspheme. But the cold arrogance and agility are quite seductive, and people can't help but be haunted, the curved willow eyebrows, the long eyelashes tremble slightly, the fair and flawless skin reveals a faint red powder, and the thin lips are delicate like rose petals, so beautiful and moving can't be associated with the general who has just commanded the army.
She just stood there looking at me, and when I looked at each other, I felt as if he had seen through it, and I couldn't help frowning and quickly looked away.
She seemed to notice my strangeness and said: "City Lord, I didn't expect you to be a mortal, I don't want to bury your life like this when I see you young, if I surrender now, I won't move you in the slightest, and I will make an exception to promote you to be the deputy general of the boss, what do you think?" ”
I waved my hand and replied with a smile: "Generalissimo Zhao is indeed a good hand at leading troops to fight, and the lord of this hall also admires your courage as a woman who does not let her eyebrows go, but it is too early to talk about surrender!" ”
As soon as my voice fell, Zhao Yan frowned, and then looked behind me, and at this time, all the troops in the ambush in the city appeared.
"It's not good to have an ambush, retreat quickly." Zhao Yan was shocked and hurriedly ordered the army to retreat, but at this moment, at the gate of the city behind them, thousands of corpse soldiers who had already been ambushed also appeared, attacking their rear defense.
Before Zhao Yan's retreat order was delivered, a herald hurriedly ran up to report the situation in the rear, Zhao Yan was shocked to hear that her pretty face changed shape, turned her head and stared at me coldly and said: "I didn't expect you to be such a despicable and shameless person, you dare to set a trap to lead us into the city, what is your intention?" ”
I shrugged my shoulders and said with a smile: "Marshal Zhao's words are bad, as the saying goes, soldiers are not tired of cheating, not to mention that you are not attacking my city by bullying more and less, so what do you think is the difference between me, the lord of this hall is just treating others in the way of others, and now the disparity in our forces is huge, I still hope that Marshal Zhao will consider the next thing!" ”
After saying that, I thought about it, controlled the corpse soldiers to stop attacking, and just surrounded them inside the city gate, let's see what will happen to this Zhao Yan first?
"Hmph, although I, Zhao Yan, am a woman, I have also experienced countless battles, and all of my soldiers are experienced in a hundred battles. Zhao Yan snorted coldly and said.
I just smiled, and then said: "Marshal Zhao, I see that you are also a generation of heroes, and you are a female general with both talent and appearance, even if you don't think about yourself, think about these soldiers under you, I think you also know the current situation, as long as I give an order to eliminate your five thousand men and horses, it is not difficult for me to lose half of it, but you are not easy to say, as long as you choose to surrender, I will also give you and your army corresponding benefits, and from now on it is a good thing to do things for me to open the Yang Palace and enjoy the official palace." ”
Actually, I didn't think that she would agree to surrender soon, after all, she is also a general in a bloody battle, and it would be boring to surrender in such a flash.
She frowned, and then stared at me with a sharp gaze for a while before she said slowly: "The city lord is really scheming, I really don't want to fight for your wealth, it's okay if you want me to surrender, as long as you can win me, then I will lead the army to surrender, if you can't win, you have to open the city gate and let us go, how about it?" ”
As soon as he heard this, Jiang Cheng, who was standing beside me, immediately roared angrily: "You chaotic ministers and thieves are still messing around here when they are dying, how high is our status as a great commander, and now we are even more of a concubine in the hidden capital, if I really compete with you, a chaotic minister and thief, then wouldn't it mean that I have no one in the hidden capital." ”
"Oh, hehehe, I see, as the lord of the city, he is still the master of the hidden capital, it seems that your ability is really not small!" Zhao Yan said with a sneer, her words full of ridicule and disdain.
It seems that he thinks that I can be stationed here because of the relationship between the Horse Lord, and because I am only at the peak of the middle stage of the Xuan Realm, he will be so contemptuous.
Jiang Cheng still wanted to continue to confront her, but I stretched out my hand to stop him, smiled and said, "Hehehe, since Marshal Zhao said so, then the hall master will accompany you to fight." ”
Jiang Cheng hurriedly said: "The Great Commander must not take this matter, this Zhao Yan's strength is too strong, in case we hurt you, we can't afford to take it, if Her Royal Highness the Princess and Her Majesty blame it, I'm afraid that nine heads will not be enough to cut off." ”
I turned my head and said, "It's okay, just watch it, as for my father-in-law and Xue'er, I'll be fine." ”
After speaking, he didn't pay attention to Jiang Cheng's expression that he still wanted to dissuade, and turned around to look at Zhao Yan preparing to fight her.
Chu Qi, who was standing on the other side of me, didn't say a word from beginning to end, he used to be the hall master who witnessed me single-handedly challenge the Ten Palaces of Yama, and he still believed in my confidence and ability.
Zhao Yan saw that I had answered the challenge, and with a whoosh, she jumped off the chariot and landed firmly in front of the army.
At this point, both armies took a few steps back, leaving enough room for us to compare, while the drums of war rang out from both armies at the same time.
The dull sound of war drums crossed together, and the momentum of the two sides was also raised to the peak, and now it was the battle between the two leaders, and it was also related to the final pattern of this big war.
As soon as Zhao Yan stood firm, she pulled out the sword and pointed it at me, the dark sword flashed with a ghostly light, although there was no sunlight, but you could see that this sword had a stream of energy fluctuating, it should be a powerful ghost weapon, judging from her posture and aura of holding the sword, it should be a sword cultivator, although it is a ghost, but the swordsmanship must also be first-class.
"City Lord, please." Zhao Yan raised her jade hand lightly and said.
I also nodded, and then with a thought, the ghost blade appeared in my hand, and then the Heavenly Eye and the Golden Light Spell were also opened one after another.
Now my strength is indeed a little insufficient, but according to the previous experience of fighting with those three evil spirit-level ghosts in the small world, it should be no problem for me to fight one or two ghost generals in the early stage, and I will be afraid in my heart when I meet five ghost generals with ghost generals in my stomach in the school before because there are more people on the other side.
As the saying goes, two fists are hard to beat four hands, if the little ghost baby of the five ghost generals ran out of my mother's belly, I would definitely not be able to parry, but now it is one-on-one, although the opponent's strength is already in the middle of the ghost general, with the special effect of the ghost blade to stimulate the battle intent and the various spells in the Heavenly Master Record, it is not to hit the stone with an egg, maybe my luck is very good, and I will win it all at once.
But no matter how you say it, this fight can't just rely on luck, right, whoever has the biggest fist has the right to speak, this is the eternal truth.
Gripping the ghost blade, I launched the attack first, and the Shattered Sky Crazy Knife beckoned to Zhao Yan like a pear blossom with rain, Zhao Yan watched me take the lead in attacking, and the expression on his face did not have any waves, just gently raised the long sword and showed his swordsmanship and fought with me.
The sound of a few metal clashes came out, and I didn't know how many times I had just hit the fast sword shadow and sword qi.
Now I can emit sword qi when I cast the Shattering Sky Crazy Knife, which already means that my sword technique has entered Xiaocheng, and at the same time, it is also because my understanding of sword technique has become clearer and clearer after my strength has improved.
After the rush to fight, I can accurately judge the trend of Zhao Yan's next attack with the eye of the sky, so as to make a counterattack, and the golden light spell on my body also blocked one or two sword qi that slashed at me because of insufficient resistance.
You really don't want to say it, being split by this kind of sword qi still caused internal injuries to my body, but this is still light, and the sword qi entering my body is like a fierce beast frantically hitting my meridians, making me feel like a needle prick in my body.
I hurriedly used the power of the Heavenly Master to resist, if the sword qi on my back hurt the internal organs, it would be a big play, but because of the golden light spell to protect the body, the power of the sword qi has been weakened by half, and after rushing into the body, it is only the end of the strong crossbow, and the power of the Heavenly Master is like a meat grinder frantically swimming in my body, as long as it encounters the sword qi that enters the body, it will immediately crush it into nothingness.
In this way, while dispelling the sword qi that pierced into my body, I wielded the ghost blade and attacked continuously.
After another series of metal clashes, we all took a few steps back, and the surprise in our eyes was a sign of incredulity.
Zhao Yan frowned directly, probably thinking that my domineering knife skills are really powerful, and it is really strange that she has not fallen behind in fighting for so long, her strength in the middle of a ghost general can only remain a draw when dealing with me, and if she continues to consume it like this, she may really lose.
As for me, I was shocked by my current strength, and the Shattering Blade was only able to show its true power in my hands among opponents of my level, and now I feel that it may not be particularly difficult to achieve this victory.
Seeing that I didn't fall behind in this hand-to-hand combat, Feng Jiangcheng's cheers came over, and the sound of war drums became louder and louder, as if they were all shouting and cheering for me.
Zhao Yan saw that her boss didn't have the slightest upper hand in dealing with me, and the horror in her heart was also revealed, and Zhao Yan seemed to have found that hand-to-hand combat had no advantage over her, so she switched to a spell attack.
I saw her sword finger in the first area of the scene, and then her mouth vibrated with words I didn't know what to say, and suddenly the black scene actually began to hum with a sword sound, and then the ghostly light above the scene Dasheng conjured up many common phantoms like I shot over.
I was also shocked to see so many long sword phantoms flying towards me like bullets, before that basically relied on hand-to-hand combat or a one-hit killing spell to solve the battle, I haven't tried to fight with others, and now it's a little helpless to fight with a female ghost.
However, with the eye of heaven and the incomparably swift body, a few dodges dodged this attack, but it was quite shocking to see that the land where the sword phantom regent was located had been blown out of a pothole the size of a basin.
If such a strong spell attack hits the flesh, it won't be shattered all at once.
