Chapter 62: A duel of life and death

It turns out that the weather forecast of the national teacher Bidan is very accurate, and the sun will disperse the dark clouds and shine on the land at noon.

The south of the Heavenly King City was full of archers, and then the south gate was wide open, and the first to go out of the city were five Heavenly King Envoys and a villain sect, and fifty heavily armed palace guards led by Bidan Guoshi and Captain Bei followed closely behind them, and King Guhe and his group of civil and military officials stood at the head of the city to watch the battle.

A large group of people walked from the tent on the southeast bank of the valley river, led by three green-faced people who were almost identical in shape, but they were wearing three different colored cloaks: red, yellow and black. Behind them was a young man with a cathead who was tied with ropes and bloodied, and behind them was the general who had fought with Lin and dozens of heavily armed soldiers of the Wanghai Kingdom.

The sea watchers watched from their positions with their bows and arrows in their hands.

A sword fighting contest that was no less than a life-and-death duel was held in the central area outside the south gate of Tianwang City, which was a stone's throw away from the positions of both sides of the enemy and us, and both sides of the sword contest only needed to retreat more than ten meters to return to their own defensive counterattack range.

Captain Bei stepped forward and said to Shanglin and the others: "Messenger of the Heavenly King, the three sons of the King of Wanghai who are walking in front are triplets, and the young man who was arrested is none other than Prince Ke of my family. ”

The three Wanghai princes were tall among the many green soldiers, all of them had yellow beards on their faces, and they wore a golden sword at their waists.

The two sides of the sword competition stopped more than ten meters apart.

The prince in the red cloak standing in the middle pointed to the opposite side with his hand and said arrogantly: "General Na, the envoys of the Heavenly King you are talking about are those ugly and ugly monsters?" ”

General Na stepped forward and said respectfully: "Report to the Great Prince, it is them!" ”

The red cloak shouted to the people opposite, "What proof do you have for claiming to be the messenger of the Heavenly King?" Hurry up and show it to this prince! ”

Shanglin stepped forward and said, "We are the messengers of the Heavenly King, believe it or not. I heard that the three of you claim to be the Three Musketeers of Qizhou, I don't think you can be ashamed! ”

Shanglin's agitation law immediately took effect, and the three princes opposite immediately became furious:

"Big brother, compare with them! Cut off the heads of these ugly bastards! The yellow cloak shouted first.

"Big brother, second brother, little brother, I'm willing to take the lead and give them a sword to pierce their hearts!"

The black cloak finished speaking, "Dangchang!" He drew his sword and pointed it at the other and shouted, "Which of you will send you to death!" ”

Kabayashi didn't reply, he quickly took off his cloak and drew his sword, and the war drums of both sides beat at the same time.

Without saying a word, the two sides swung their swords and rushed to each other to fight together.

Although Kabayashi is much shorter than the Black Cloaked Prince, his body is agile and his swordsmanship is significantly taller than that of his opponent, and he is well fed and drunk in the morning and now has plenty of energy. It's just that this time the quality of the swords on both sides is comparable, and Shanglin doesn't have much advantage in weapons.

After more than a dozen rounds of going all out between the two sides, the black cloak has only the ability to resist and has no offensive power. And because the black cloak didn't take the short opponent of Shanglin in his eyes at the beginning, he didn't even bother to take off the cloak, so after more than a dozen rounds, he was already sweating and slow.

The red cloak suddenly raised his sword and shouted, "Stop!" The drums of war disappeared for the most part, and the black cloak took the opportunity to retreat to the camp.

"This game is a draw!" The red cloak shouted.

The drums at the head of the Celestial King City disappeared, and were replaced by a shouting and scolding.

"You're a fool! Hand over Prince Ke now! Kabayashi pointed at the red cloak and shouted angrily.

"In the second game, if you can win two games in a row, I will hand him over to you!" The red cloak pointed at the bound gram and shouted to Shanglin.

As soon as the red cloak's voice fell, the yellow cloak beside him had already taken off his cloak and swung his sword to kill Shanglin.

Kapok Zi had already held the sword in his hand and rushed forward, "...... bell" with a crisp sound, and waved his sword against the sword of the yellow cloak, and Shanglin retreated to the main formation.

Kapok Zi shouted while swinging his sword to kill the enemy: "Hey, this prince has not had time to practice swords for a few days, and he has to have a good time today!" ”

The yellow cloak didn't say anything, just used all his body moves, trying to stab the opponent to death with a sword.

The two of you kill me and block, you retreat and I advance, and they are really swords and swords in the sunny noon.

The sound of drums and shouts resounded throughout the battlefield, and the king of the valley and his soldiers shouted one after another to cheer for Kapok.

Both sides of the duel tried their best to kill each other.

Fighting, Kapok Zi gradually couldn't parry, not that Kapok's swordsmanship was worse than the other party, but that the fatigue of the journey in the past few days made his legs and feet sore and his arms weak, and the yellow cloak became more and more brave and pressed step by step.

"Ah Hu, hurry up! Kapok's footwork is messed up! Shanglin shouted close to Ah Hu's ear.

Ah Hu quietly stretched out a finger, and when the kapok and the yellow cloak were far apart, he unknowingly shot a light bullet at one of the yellow cloak's feet.

A flash of fire flashed on the ground.

"Ahh Scald me! Yellow Cloak fell to the ground with a scream, and his boots and pants smoked, and he dropped his sword and sat down on the ground, desperately taking off the leather boots on his feet with both hands and slapping the smoking pants.

The drums were gone, the onlookers stopped shouting, and the shouting on the wall of the Heavenly King also stopped.

Kapok took the opportunity to rush forward and press his sword against the shoulder of the yellow cloak and shouted viciously: "Hey, you guys come over quickly, or I'll cut off his head!" ”

The yellow cloak cried, "Big brother, let him go!" There was a ghost fire on the ground, and it hurt me to death! ”

The black cloak rushed out of the battle with a sword to assassinate Kapok, and just two steps forward, a light flashed in front of him, "Ah! There was another scream, and the black cloak threw itself to the ground and rolled on the ground with its smoking face covered.

All the hustle and bustle of the sword field disappeared in an instant, and only the heart-rending cries of the two Wanghai princes remained between heaven and earth. The soldiers on both sides who were watching the battle were all stunned by the unbelievable scene in front of them, and in this bright sunlight, no one noticed the light bullet that was imperceptible to the naked eye when one of Ah Hu's fingers stretched out and retracted.

Ah Hu's insect carving skill is only known to his four companions.

The only possibility that comes to mind is that these celestial kings, in addition to their swordsmanship, possess some kind of incredible mystical power.

Captain Bei was the first to wake up from his shock, he rushed forward and lifted the black cloak from the ground and dragged it to Kapok's side, and then Bidan Guoshi led the royal palace guards to rush forward to protect Kapok.

Captain Bei shouted at the frightened red cloak, "Release my prince quickly, or we will kill your two brothers!" ”

The red cloak was already frightened and had no fighting spirit, and he shouted in a hoarse voice: "Let him go!" ”

Prince Ke was rescued, and everyone from the king of the valley to the soldiers in the city rejoiced, and the courage of the king's envoy made the soldiers and people in the princess city full of confidence in defeating the invaders.

When several envoys of the Heavenly King were welcomed back to the palace by the stars like the moon, as soon as the guests and hosts sat down, the historian Morley couldn't wait to express his most sincere apology to the envoys of the Heavenly King:

"Messenger of the King of Heaven, please forgive Morley for being dizzy and blind, and almost mistaking the gods and men for liars, and please forgive Morley for being lonely and ignorant of the fact that there are sunshine people in the world. Morley will make amends for his mistakes, and will use the most beautiful language, the most magnificent poems, and the most passionate words to record the great achievements created by the envoys of the Heavenly King in the history books of my valley and river country. ”

Shanglin smiled at Mo Li and said, "The historian doesn't have to be so polite, your original suspicion was not selfish and malicious. After speaking, Shanglin turned his face to look at King Guhe, "King, although Prince Ke has been rescued, the fish-man's gunboat has not been wiped out, and King Wanghai will come to take revenge at any time." Since we don't know how far and powerful the fish-man's cannon can hit, I suggest that we don't stay in this palace for long. A few of us will rest in the sunshine in the back garden of the palace, and you will split up to prepare for a counterattack against the Wanghai people at dark today, and we will be responsible for taking advantage of the chaos to destroy the fishmen's gunboats. ”

King Guhe was already impressed by the few Heavenly King envoys in front of him.

He immediately stood up and said in a loud voice: "Everyone, the words of the Heavenly King's envoy are the supreme order, you should immediately perform your duties and make all preparations, and launch a counteroffensive from the four directions of east, west, south and north when it is dark. We must use the divine power of the Heavenly King's envoy to defeat the Wanghai people in one fell swoop. ”

When it was dark, there were only a few stars in the sky.

The four gates of Princess City, east, west, north and south opened at the same time, and hundreds of soldiers armed with shields and swords quickly rushed out of each doorway to kill the barracks and tents of the Wanghai people.

The Wanghai soldiers are already in full battle.

After hearing what had happened in the sword field, King Wanghai was convinced that the Heavenly King had really sent an envoy to assist King Guhe in defending Princess City, which made him restless and in a dilemma. For he could not know if the Celestial King's envoy had a more powerful means than to set fire to his two sons in broad daylight.

But with the fish-man's gunboat in hand, King Wanghai is determined to win Princess City. Therefore, he decided to use static braking to continue the siege method, so that the food in the city was exhausted, and the morale of the army was shaken. No matter how powerful the Heavenly King's envoy is, he will never conjure food for the tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Princess City.

In order to prevent the envoy of the Heavenly King from assisting the King of Guhe in counterattacking and sneaking attack, the King of Wanghai ordered all camps to be strictly guarded and not to be slackened in the slightest.

It was precisely because both the enemy and us were prepared that the attack of the Guhe soldiers was immediately counterattacked by the opponent's arrows, and the Guhe soldiers had to set up the shields in their hands to resist while continuing to charge at the enemy position. Although the overwhelming number of arrows caused them to lose troops along the way, the brave Guhe soldiers quickly rushed into the enemy's position and engaged the enemy in hand-to-hand combat. Suddenly, the shouts of killing were deafening, and they resounded through the night sky.

At this time, hundreds of heavily armed Guhe soldiers quickly rushed out from the south gate of Tianwang City, and Ah Hu rushed to the front under the national teacher Bidan and Captain Bei and fifty royal palace guards.

At the same time, a special object taller than the surrounding warships quickly floated on the surface of the valley river, and there was only a faint light inside the black behemoth, and the rest of the body was hidden in the night.

Then a ball of blue and cold light shot out from the tall boat, and the cold light pierced through the gloomy night and fell into the team of Gu River soldiers behind Ah Hu, only to hear an explosion that overwhelmed the shouts of the whole audience, and Gu River soldiers fell in a large area.

Ah Hu did not look back and did not stop, but took the lead in front of the ship that fired the cannonballs, Bi Dan Guoshi and Captain Bei led the palace guards to follow, to the riverbank battle position, Ah Hu shot a few light bullets to block the way of the Wanghai soldiers will be scattered, Bi Dan Guoshi and Captain Bei also struggled to open a direct passage to the river bank for Ah Hu.

Finally, the fishman's gunboat was close in sight, and Ah Hu fired the energy bomb he had made with the light energy he had gathered for half a day at the operation room in the cabin, and just after the gunboat fired the second cold light cannon, a ball of blue light flew out of Ah Hu's outstretched palm, and a dazzling light instantly illuminated the gloomy river.

Several of Ah Hu's friends did not fight with him this time, but stood on the south side of Princess City to watch the battle. They immediately cheered when they looked at the sudden flash of light on the gloomy river five hundred meters away:

"Ah Hu has shot!"

"Boom!" Explosions rang out at the same time on the river and on the battlefield outside the South Gate. However, the explosion at the South Gate quickly dissipated, but the explosion on the river caused a chain reaction, first the explosion ignited in the cabin, and then the fire quickly spread to the entire cabin.

This was followed by "Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ......" several loud bangs in succession, a violent explosion occurred in the hull of the ship, the river roared and the waves rushed to the sky, and the people standing on the bank of the river were knocked to the ground by an invisible air current, and the river water rushed to the sky. "Falling from the sky, destroying all the tents on the shore that had not yet been toppled.

After a few minutes, the fire on the river completely disappeared.

"The fish-man's ship has sunk!" The walls were filled with cheers.

Standing in the king's boat on the river, the King of Wanghai watched his gunboat disappear into the water, and he sighed: "Alas, the king of heaven will not allow me to be emperor!" ", and then ordered to retreat.

The soldiers of Wanghai had no intention of fighting again before the Wanghai King's retreat order was issued, and they scrambled to flee the battlefield, jumped into the river, and climbed onto the warship.

When the first moon climbed into the night sky, King Wanghai fled Princess City by boat with the remnants of his defeated army.
