Chapter 5: Kidnapping the Son of Heaven to Kill the Princes (2)
"Take General Qu over!"
"Only the front rows of people on the opposite side can fight, rush!"
"Brothers, follow me!"
In an instant, he slaughtered the three archers who released the dark arrows, and the monk who felt embarrassed angrily roared twice at the young man who had long since disappeared, turned into a black shadow, and disappeared behind the encirclement.
And the two thousand elite soldiers and light cavalry immediately ordered by the hussar general Murong Yu and the general Xing Lun who defended the city of Yang City, and the sound of killing shook the world and swarmed out from the hastily opened city gate.
"Cover General Qu!"
At the forefront was General Xing Lun, who had already had many scars in the war. He held the huge Glaive Sword in his hand, and his eyes were full of fighting spirit. The black-pressed soldiers were like a tide, and as soon as the gates of the city were released, they rushed out, surging past Qu Dusk, who was trembling and retreating, covering him. The speed of the two thousand light cavalry was extremely fast, and all of them rushed out of the city gate in ten breaths.
The row of soldiers at the front of the opposite encirclement showed surprise on their faces. Just now, the monk who was obviously on his own side actually killed three soldiers with a raised hand, which already frightened them. Xingyang City was more like he had been prepared, and the speed was like lightning, and he opened a cone-shaped formation while charging forward. And the forward general who took the lead at the front was Xing Lun, who was wrapped in iron armor and only showed an eye patch and a one-eyed eye.
The look of panic on their faces did not have time to retreat, and they had to immediately take two steps back and raise their shields as fast as they could. The five-story enveloping wall is nearly 100 meters thick. The forward general Xing Lun was on the cone of the entire formation, shouted loudly, and rushed into the enemy's shield array.
In front of the cone-shaped array, several rows of elites, each dressed in the strongest armor, rushed towards a row of shields. General Murong Yu in the center of the army, dressed in glazed gold armor, turned his head and gestured. Immediately after, he brandished his spear, and under his leadership, the soldiers behind the cone rushed up from the right flank at the fastest speed, and with the help of a powerful momentum, hundreds of light cavalry warriors rode past the first layer of the local shield array!
There was a gap in the shield array, and a large number of soldiers of the Qinshan Kingdom crossed the defense, waved the weapons in their hands, and began to fight bloodily with the soldiers of the Underworld Kingdom behind. Because of this, the fighting spirit of the 100 heavily armored cavalry led by Xing Lun was even more high, and the shield soldiers who blocked them saw that the right wing was opened and their morale was weakened, and Xing Lun soon led the soldiers to completely break the shield array in the middle!
At this moment, a hundred meters later, a strong battle cry suddenly broke out among the two thousand light cavalry that had been surrounded for two weeks, and General Murong Yu, who had already penetrated into the third layer of encirclement under the escort of a group of cavalry, heard an increasingly powerful battle cry, and soon General Xing Lun also heard it. They are on the counteroffensive to break through!
Murong Yu, who was on top of the white horse, cut off the head of a soldier of the Underworld with a knife. shouted at the rear, regardless of whether they could hear it or not, "Protect His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
The momentum in the rear became louder and louder, and the sound of sword clashing began to be heard. Xing Lun and Murong Yu are both agitated and motivated. And the side of the Stygian Ze Country was obviously affected by the counterattack of the two thousand light cavalry in the rear, and the fighting spirit was suddenly weakened a lot. In the middle of the encirclement, they have a certain numerical advantage, and they were actually torn open by General Murong's iron cavalry with a bigger and bigger rift!
At this time, the rearmost side of the encirclement. This place is already close to the south tower of Nankang City, and the number of people surrounding the prince's army in the rear is even larger, densely packed in a large area, at least 30,000 people, all gathered outside the battlefield, and tightly locked the two thousand light horsemen in the middle in this cage with nowhere to hide. And except for the central soldiers who were fighting with the two thousand light cavalry, the large number of troops in the rear were all standing still, as if what was happening in front of them had nothing to do with them. Let the sound of fighting and war drums get louder and louder in my ears.
A secret military camp outside Nankang City, very close to the battlefield. Frustrated, the monk sat outside the barracks, holding his head.
From the sect to the outside world, from Datang to Lingzhou, although he is violent by nature, he has never done such a humiliating thing. When he won the trust of the entire three armies in order to win the trust of the entire three armies, he challenged those officers, and he himself fought three and five by himself, and won the respect of others by virtue of his strength. Thirty years ago, on the Second Continent, in order to find the fragments of the Reincarnation War Book, the Daoists of each sect did whatever it took to find them. And he, even in that case, has preserved at least a trace of the deepest bottom line of human nature. That's what happened......
But he really couldn't accept that Xiao Zhi Jingnian actually released cold arrows when the generals of the two armies were facing each other. This practice is too despicable and shameless.
A figure faintly walked in front of him, and the monk didn't need to look up to know that it was the helpless Xiao Zhi Jingnian who had found him. An impulse arose in his heart, but it was immediately suppressed by him. If it weren't for the great help that the Emperor of the Underworld could give him in the future, he really wanted to go up and strangle this despicable and shameless person.
"General, I can understand your feelings. I'll be sorry to you. ”
The Emperor slowly bowed before him. It's a great thing for others to see. However, the corner of the monk's mouth twitched, and he did not raise his head or speak.
"The reason why I did this is also to bring the situation here into our hands as soon as possible. Only then will they have a better ability to help the general's great cause. The Qu Duan who fought against you just now was one of the eunuchs of Qinshan State, but he was not a member of the eunuch party. The cultivation is very profound, and I can't name the specific realm. While the general can indeed defeat him, he will not necessarily be able to kill him on the spot. That's why I chose to do it. However, the effect was not good, so I came to apologize to the general. He bowed slowly.
The monk sighed deeply, stood up and helped the Emperor of the Underworld. said, "Needless to say, my face has been disgraced, and there is nothing to apologize for." You don't want this face, I don't have such a thick skin. For the next few days, please forgive me that I will not be in battle again. ”
He knew very well that there was another reason why the Immortal Emperor did this. He wants to control himself. The monk had long expected this, and the Emperor of Hades wanted to control him, which was also something that every ruler would definitely think. Of course, this is what the monks scoffed at. Therefore, he had to put on his own attitude and tell the Immortal Emperor that the two of them were just a mutually beneficial and win-win relationship.
Moreover, just when he was fighting Qu Dui, he clearly felt another obvious aura on the opponent's city wall. The monk remembered his own tragic encounter a long time ago - near the Silver Creek of Blackwater City, he actually fell into a certain formation, and was stunned by a punch from a milky young man, and when he woke up, he found himself in a wilderness in the depths of the Underworld. Recalling this formation, he couldn't help but think of a legend in Lingzhou, the Dream Clan's Underground Palace.
He knows all the secrets of this world. But it's not certain if the Dream Clan has escaped from the Long Night City. However, the aura I felt just now seemed to have the same origin as the formation that had placed myself before. If that boy and that girl were here... There was a faint smirk on the monk's expression, he would definitely torture and kill the little bastard who threw him into the Underworld and looted all the precious spirit stones on his body.
As for the little girl... The aura she carried at the beginning definitely hid a mysterious secret. The monk was a little curious about this.
Xiao Zhi Jingnian put his hands on his shoulders, and when he said this, he just smiled helplessly and said, "I can't force the general... Good. However, according to our previous plan, the general would help the two flanks to move their positions when they attacked, and to fight the enemy outside the first layer of encirclement. And use spells to confuse the other party's gaze. Only then can we annihilate the enemy in one fell swoop. I didn't do it right just now, now please give me an explanation, the vanguard general of the other side has rushed to the third layer of encirclement, and the encircled prince's army has also begun a counterattack. What if you don't follow your plan?"
The Immortal Emperor quickly recounted the situation on the battlefield just now. The monk lowered his head, and after a moment, he said, "I said that I won't be out of the battle in the next few days, so I won't be out again." Since the other party's fighting spirit is so high, I can only teach you this trick. Send a few dead men through the tunnels to detonate the earth-shattering thunder that I buried deep in the trench not long ago!"
The Immortal Emperor's face changed, "General, the Heavenly Thunder created by this Qinshan Kingdom is extremely powerful, and it must be the death of both the enemy and me......"
The monk glanced at him lightly and said, "Even if I do it now, it's too late." The opponent's fighting spirit is high, and the inside and outside should be combined, you can either use the rear forces to squeeze up and kill them. Then all your plans with the prince will be in vain. Or, you just do as I say! Let them light all the thunderbolts outside the third layer of encirclement, and the other side will have about the same casualties as ours. Of course, you have to do it as soon as possible. If you let the soldiers led by the forward general rush further back, more soldiers will die!"
The Immortal Emperor's eyes gradually lost his feelings, and he coughed lightly, and finally nodded. Turn around and walk behind the open gates.
The third layer of encirclement is as wide as the human wall is twenty meters wide, and a platoon has at least four or five hundred troops. The spear in General Murong Yu's hand was wielding like a rainbow, and it was magnificent. The hundreds of cavalry who followed behind tore huge cracks. There were about a thousand light horsemen, all of whom followed him one after another past the shield formation and rampaged through the encirclement of the enemy. The morale was high, the fighting spirit was high, and there was no obstacle all the way to the fight, and he rushed to the rear of the third layer of encirclement at once.
And the heavy cavalry led by General Xing Lun, with one enemy and five enemies, created an excellent opportunity for General Murong's soldiers and horses to charge, so that the obstruction of a large number of shield infantry of the Stygian Ze Kingdom did not work at all. It's just that these more than 100 people fell to the front place, and there was no such depth as General Murong.
Many of the infantry of the Hades Kingdom around him pushed and shoved in an orderly manner, and the fighting spirit of the soldiers of the Hades Kingdom in the front row of the encirclement had collapsed, plus the plan made by His Majesty the Hades Emperor before did not go as scheduled, and the two thousand light cavalry behind him began to counterattack again. Many have pinned their hopes on the army at the rear to help break the siege. But as everyone knows, the Emperor of Hades will never move this army of 30,000 people. The fighting spirit is sluggish, and the last blow is about to hug the head and run away.
Murong Yu, who rushed to the forefront, was splashed with the blood of the enemy, and the blood on the golden armor set off him like a god. Finally, in the chaotic crowd in front of him, he saw a general of the Underworld Nation wearing heavy armor and riding a big horse under his crotch. Murong Yu took a deep breath, slammed his legs between the war horses, and between the spears and spears, he fought a bloody way, and even pulled the soldiers behind him a distance, and came to the fourth layer of encirclement, and the sound of friendly counterattacks in his ears was getting louder and louder.
He rushed straight towards the general of the Underworld who was covered by a few soldiers beside him, and it was obvious that the other party had also discovered him at this time. The strong general slammed his horse and galloped, and all the soldiers who followed him rushed towards Murong Yu.
Xing Lun, who was a hundred meters behind, swung his knife and cut off a head, caught a glimpse of Murong Yu's behavior from a distance, his heart was shocked, and he shouted loudly, "General Murong!
Murong Yu, who galloped towards the front, showed a smile, and his left hand on the reins of the horse suddenly clicked a few times on his waist at a very fast speed, and the green tendons of his entire left hand burst out, and Murong Yu waved his left hand towards several soldiers of the Underworld who were hanging in front of him and running behind the enemy general. His secret weapon somehow struck. However. The next moment, the two weapons intersected, and when the sparks were shining, the three accompanying soldiers of the Underworld covered their necks, and the blood gushed like a spring, and they fell down unwillingly.
The face of the general of the Underworld was extremely gloomy, and when the two of them pulled away for a distance, they shouted indignantly, "Despicable villain!"
Murong Yu sneered, continued to swing his spear, and galloped towards the other party with an unstoppable momentum. The enemy general only felt that Murong Yu's deafening shouts were heard in his ears, and he tried his best to muster up his courage, and with a clamp on the horse's belly, the long sword in his hand also slashed towards him.
"Shhhh
"Boom—— boom!"
The sound of the spark igniting the fuse sounded at the same time as the sound of a large number of ** instantaneous ignition explosions. Trapped in the second layer of encirclement, a blue light appeared in the eyes of General Xing Lun, who was constantly rushing and killing with a group of heavy cavalry, and occupied his eyes in an instant. Before General Xing Lun was crushed, his face still had a strong sense of pride and happiness.
Murong Yu did not come into contact with the enemy general's weapons, and the two did not come into contact again. Just ten meters in front of the fourth layer of encirclement, just after the subtle sound of the spark igniting the lead, a large number of thunderbolts with a total length of sixty or seventy meters were detonated at the same time all over the ground of the first three layers of encirclement.
The monk had spent a whole night a few days ago, through the tunnels dug by the soldiers of the Underworld, directing the soldiers to transport a large number of Heavenly Thunder underground. When this large amount of Heavenly Thunder was detonated in an instant, the faint blue flames broke through the surface of the earth and leaped into the air as high as nearly ten meters! The scene of the explosion was like a large blue spirit flower blooming in an instant, and then disappeared. In a space sixty or seventy meters long, the blue fire devoured all people and things.
A little farther away, you can see this extremely shocking scene from all angles. In an instant, huge blue flames burst out on the ground, obscuring the scene of the great battle. Then you can see that before anyone can let out a scream, countless stumps and severed arms were all knocked into the air by the shock wave at once, and the raging flames engulfed all the blood stumps at a height of ten meters. In another second, the yellow sand flew up in the sky, causing the fire to fall quickly. The yellow sand obscured the rest of the landscape.
At this moment, the entire battlefield fell into a terrible silence.
And Murong Yu, who was the first to charge to the fourth layer of encirclement, was shocked to the ground by the waves of air before he could engage with the enemy's sword soldiers. The two of them fell to the ground with a heavy blow, both struggling to turn their eyes to the corpse in front of them, which had been hidden by the yellow sand.
The huge rancid smell of burnt smell that rose for a while made Murong Yu, who was covered with sand and dust, react. He pushed the fallen horse up, jumped onto the horse, shouted, whipped the horse's buttocks with his spear, and galloped towards the gate of Xingyang City outside the corpse.
As soon as he entered the area full of smoke and dust, he felt that behind him, the sound of chasing that gradually sounded suddenly faded a lot. He could barely open his eyes in such an environment, but the BMW under his crotch ran all the way, carrying him to the bottom of the city tower of Xingyang City. When Murong Yu opened his eyes again, he understood that in this space that was sixty or seventy meters long and more than a hundred meters wide, there was not a single corpse left after the explosion.
All the people inside, including their cavalry of nearly two thousand people, including the number of soldiers in the Underworld Empire, including General Xing Lun. Everyone, all buried in the explosion, no bones left!
Ten seconds, the defenders of the city struggled to open the city gates, and this process took ten seconds. After all the generals and city lords above the city tower passed in these ten seconds, they only saw General Murong Yu, who was covered in dust and had a blank face, riding into the city gate. They finally understood that just now, something had happened.
Many of the soldiers stationed at the city gate were still local soldiers in Xingyang City. Suddenly, among these iron-clad soldiers, there was a sobbing sound.
In a watchtower on the east side of the tower, some low-ranking generals crowded here to observe the situation. A man with a feather fan was shocked. He was the military advisor who assisted General Xing Lun in helping him repel the enemy at the opening of the battle two months earlier. He finally couldn't help but be in the crowd, and began to hide his face softly and sob.
"Great marshal, generals, city lords, Murong Yu is incompetent... With General Xing Lun and nearly 2,000 soldiers sent to death... In the future, I am willing to apologize with death!"
A moment later, when everyone recognized the reality and returned to the main hall. In front of the main seat knelt two generals in military uniforms. One was Qu Dui, who hastily bandaged the scars on his face, and the other was Murong Yu, a hussar general who kept his body covered in dust.
"Ladies and gentlemen, today's incident is completely because Qu was not cautious enough to lose so many brothers to go in... Qu Mou, please be handsome, dispose of it at will!" Qu Du on the side took Murong Yu's words heartily and took all the responsibility on himself. Although he was a eunuch, when he said what he had just said, his tone was full of masculinity. He is also a temperamental person like Murong Yu. Seeing the sacrifice of General Xing Lun, 2,000 soldiers died. But he returned to the city gate safely. These two... I can't wait to die to apologize!
Gao Yushi was holding his head on the table, as if he was exhausted and in extreme pain. After a long time, in front of everyone in the lobby, he sighed and said slowly, "Today's loss has nothing to do with the two generals, so there is no need to say those words." The question is, which of the other generals gave this order? Xiao Shangwu, the marshal of the Western Frontier, the general of the imperial family on the border, or Wanyan Sizhong, the general of the Nankang City? These generals have always acted ruthlessly and resolutely, and this commander believes that only these few people will take action to bring the same fate together in order to maintain the status quo. Don't care about these for now, this kind of power, this kind of fire, you must all know that the thing that blew up everything just now is the unique weapon of our Qinshan Kingdom, the thunder!"
"This is a secret among our country's military secrets, and it can be called a powerful weapon like a killer weapon. Even we ourselves will not use it on a large scale. But the other party actually has a reserve of Heavenly Thunder that can raze such a space to the ground. What the hell is going on!" he said bitterly, unable to understand why this had happened.
"There is an inner ghost in Qinshan Country. And it's an inner ghost that came out a long time ago. He provided this thing to the country of Hadesawa, and leaked military secrets a long time ago. That's why the country of Hades will have time to make so many **. General Ying Baixu in front of him was determined and said firmly.
He Zhe, who was sitting in the back, was in an extremely complicated mood at this time. Especially when Ying Baixu said this, his whole body trembled.
The rebellion of He Zhe's nephew He Kang is well known to everyone in the government and the opposition. But at this time, not many people have their eyes on him. This is because, during this time, in addition to Hekang, there are many families in the north, and there are rebels. Among them, there are even some family officers. And Hekang is a child, no one thinks he has such ability.
Of course, he thinks so. He believed that the only useful news that He Kang revealed to the Underworld was that before the Great War, the Qin Mountain Kingdom began to prepare for this. That strange holy decree made them send manpower and material resources to punish Yang City. He Kang told the news to the Underworld, so the other party planned to strike first. Attacked Xingyang City. And the Heavenly Thunder, such a confidential thing, even He Zhe has never touched its manufacturing method, He Kang absolutely impossible to know! This Heavenly Thunder was revealed by another traitor!
And who could it be, with such a status, to be able to reveal this kind of secret? Ying Baixu is right, this person must have colluded with the Styx Kingdom for a long time. Otherwise, it would be impossible for the other party to create so many thunderbolts in a short period of time and raze all such a large area.
Who could this traitor be? Hezhe, like everyone around him, frowned. It seems that among the traitors who came out during this time, there were no people who fully met this condition. They couldn't figure it out.
In the silence of thinking, He Zhe couldn't help but think of General Xing Lun, who had just been blown up to the ground and how heroic he was in battle.
Shortly after the start of the Great War, He Zhe received a letter from Xingyang City. It was written by Xing Lun. The letter said that although the two of them had never met, Xing Lun was very grateful to He Zhe and Blackwater City. Because if it weren't for their reinforcements arriving in time at that time, Xingyang City would definitely fall. He Zhe also knew that although the relief caused by the dispatch of troops was just a coincidence, it did save Xing Yangcheng's life. The young man was full of pride between the lines, even if he was seriously injured in the opening battle, the firmness and optimism shown by Xing Lun made He Zhe appreciate it very much.
Rushing to Xingyang City this morning was the first official meeting between He Zhe and Xing Lun. Outcome... An hour later, such a young general, a loyal and patriotic man, was blown up like this, and there were no ashes left......
His heart was filled with loss, a violent loss. I couldn't help but lower my eyelids and sighed deeply.
"Dashuai, in fact, this is a good time. ”
