Chapter 856: The Biography of Zhou Lie (4)
However, they have not completely lost their minds, everyone knows in their hearts that it is extremely unwise to engage with Zhou Lie in short arms, while Zhou Lie has not rushed up, the crossbowman pulled the bow and crossbow, and the ten siege crossbows were also filled and loaded with crossbows in more than a dozen guards.
Zhou Lie sighed helplessly in his heart, he held the long sword in his hand, and arched his hand to the five thousand soldiers gathered in the imperial tomb: "Brothers, I have offended. ”
As he spoke, a shout came from the crowd: "Shoot the arrows!" ”
In an instant, the flying arrows were all over the sky, they covered the moonlight, and pressed towards Zhou Lie like a huge wave.
Zhou Lie looked at the uncountable flying arrows and smiled helplessly.
He moved, and many people standing in the front row of the line saw Zhou Lie move, but they couldn't see how Zhou Lie moved at all, but they felt that the place where Zhou Lie was standing just now flashed, and then some people felt a little more pressure on their arms.
Five thousand elite soldiers stood in a phalanx in the imperial mausoleum, the last was the crossbowmen, the middle of the long halberd was lined up, the siege crossbow was also where the Chinese army was located, and the front was all the ring knife hands, they held the ring head knife in their right hand, and the double arc shield in their left hand.
And this sudden pressure appeared from the shield surface of the double-arc shield.
At first, the people standing at the front of the line only felt a sudden sinking in their arms, but in the next moment, the pressure suddenly increased to the point that it was simply irresistible.
There was a series of clattering sounds, and more than a dozen people standing in the front row flew into the air at the same time, the shields in their hands shattered, and the ringhead knife was broken in two.
With such a small gap in the formation being torn open, the battle officially began.
Wang Mang watched the phalanx press forward little by little, he didn't know what was happening in front of him, he only saw someone flying up from the front of the big array, and the frequency of the crossbowmen firing arrows was much slower than just now.
Five thousand people will definitely be able to kill Zhou Lie! Zhou Jialang alone can defeat thousands of troops? That's just an exaggeration, there is no such person in this world.
Wang Mang had been thinking so in his heart, but at this time, there was also a commotion in the Chinese army in the big array.
As soon as he saw that the halberd standing in the center of the large array began to scatter, Wang Mang's heart suddenly tightened, could it be that Zhou Lie had already killed the Chinese army? So fast!
The extreme nervousness made Wang Mang subconsciously clench his sword, and at this time, his eyes fell on Zhao Feiyan's face again.
As soon as he saw Zhao Feiyan's calm appearance, Wang Mang's heart was inexplicably on fire, he stared at Zhao Feiyan's face for a while, and finally decided to do it himself.
He took a step towards Zhao Feiyan, but as soon as he landed on the sole of his foot, a stone flew over from the side of the phalanx and hit the hilt of his sword.
At first, Wang Mang thought it was just a coincidence, but when he took another step, he heard a muffled sound of "pop", and the hilt of the sword was hit again, and even the gems embedded in it were smashed off.
Wang Mang immediately understood that this was Zhou Lie's warning to him, if he got close to Zhao Feiyan again, next, a stone would pass through his head.
His hands were still on the scabbard, but his legs were trembling.
Five thousand elite soldiers, so many people surrounded Zhou Lie, Zhou Lie was still able to free up his hands to take care of Zhao Feiyan.
Wang Mang looked towards the phalanx, but he could only see the crossbowmen who were constantly moving their positions, and he couldn't see Zhou Lie at all.
He wanted to take another step towards Zhao Feiyan, but his legs and feet seemed to be disobedient, and he couldn't move, Wang Mang himself didn't want to admit it, in fact, when he saw those guards who died through their heads, he was already frightened.
After Zhou Lie broke through the phalanx, he quickly came to the location where the Chinese army was, and he also knew that it was unwise to do so, but there was no way, the entrance to the imperial tomb was too far away from Zhao Feiyan, and in that position, he could not protect Zhao Feiyan while fighting the forbidden army.
Now Zhou Lie's speed has gradually slowed down, and a long halberd stabbed at him from all directions, and he swung his sword to block while thinking about how to subdue the pawns in front of him in the shortest possible time.
Zhuang Junping said in the letter that the wine jar he buried in the forest has begun to waft fragrant, and it is estimated that by May, this jar of wine will be unearthed.
Zhou Lie is a good wine person, Zhuang Junping asked people to bring him a letter has been a month ago, and now it is the middle of April, and there is still half a month before the wine jar can be unearthed, he is afraid that he will be delayed in the imperial tomb for too long, and when he returns to Shunan with Zhao Feiyan, Zhuang Junping has already drunk the wine in the jar.
This is troublesome, as soon as he thinks of Old Master Zhuang's craft of making wine, Zhou Lie can't help but feel reveled in his mouth.
But now that he has arrived in the Chinese army, 5,000 elite soldiers have surrounded him to death, and his hands and feet are a little unable to be used, so it is possible to delay more time.
Every time Zhou Lie's sword touched the halberd, the person holding the halberd could feel a huge force on his wrist swimming, and before he could react to what was going on, he felt that his wrist was loosened, and the halberd fell.
And after that, it was the pain of the heart, and Zhou Lie just used his sword body to check these halberds, and he was able to shake the wrist bones of the halberd bearer.
First, there were long halberds, and then the ring-headed knives and halberds appeared at the same time.
In a short battle, the generals of the forbidden army had already discovered that Zhou Lie could not be suppressed by a long halberd alone, he just flicked the sword body seemingly casually, and immediately more than a dozen people covered their wrists and knelt on the ground with bared teeth.
The sword and shield hand was in front, and the halberd hand saw the stitches and inserted the needle, surrounding Zhou Lietuan.
Sima Ying looked at Zhou Lie who was surrounded by the crowd from a distance, in his eyes, Zhou Lie didn't seem to be serious yet, and this battle was like a game for Zhou Lie.
However, Zhou Lie had to get serious now, he didn't expect the forbidden army to adjust the formation so quickly.
The Ring Head Knife and the Long Halberd tried to block Zhou Lie's sword path one after the other, and with ten large crossbows around him, things became a little troublesome.
Zhou Lie wanted to block the halberd on the one hand, and on the other hand, he had to avoid the ring-headed knife that was cut at close range, and his movements were not as free and easy as just now, and soon the encirclement was also very small.
In desperation, Zhou Lie could only let the long sword come out of its sheath.
He didn't want to kill too many people, but now if he doesn't kill people, he will be killed.
Life and death fight, and I can't help myself.
As soon as the long sword came out, the next moment, there was a bloody storm in the imperial tomb.
When the sword blade emitted a cold light under the moon, the murderous aura on Zhou Lie's body was completely released.
Wang Mang, who was a hundred meters away from him, felt a chill, it was like someone had put a big knife on his neck, and he didn't know when he would be able to make his head fall to the ground.
Sima Ying also felt the chill, but unlike Wang Mang, at this moment, his heart was already boiling.
The soldiers around Zhou Lie also felt the chill, not only did they feel the chill, but they also saw the sky and the earth drifting red.
Zhou Lie shook the long sword, the blade of the sword flew, the blood mist flew, many people just felt a flash of cold light in front of them, and the next moment, the blood was pungent, and the people beside him were already separated.
The vast majority of people couldn't see Zhou Lie's movements clearly, except for Sima Ying, his hand had been on the hilt of the sword, waiting for the time to take out the sword, he saw that Zhou Lie could die a lot every time he took out the sword, and every time he took out the sword, blood flew sideways, and the wind was loud.
Five thousand elite soldiers, each time they can get in front of Zhou Lie, there are more than 20 people, originally Sima Ying thought that Zhou Lie's physical strength will always run out, once he can't support it, it will be his death.
But Zhou Lie seemed to be tired at all, one sword was faster than the other, and each shot was heavier than the other.
No, if it goes on like this, even these five thousand forbidden troops can't stop Zhou Lie's pace.
After a short hesitation, Sima Ying finally decided to make a move, although he really wanted to fight Zhou Lie one-on-one, but if he didn't do it now, when Zhou Lie killed all the five thousand guards, Wang Mang would probably blame him.
Glancing towards Zhou Lie again, Sima Ying pulled out the You Ying Sword and took a deep breath.
Twenty years have passed, and Sima Ying has defeated countless Sword Sect masters with this sword that sharpens iron like clay, and Sima Ying believes that this time, he can still win as he did in the past.
He took another long breath, and then stabbed his long sword towards Zhou Lie at an extremely fast speed through the crowd.
The people around him also couldn't see Sima Ying's movements clearly, but they just felt a wind flashing around them.
Others couldn't see Sima Ying, but Zhou Lie saw him in the afterglow, but Zhou Lie only glanced at it, and didn't notice who the person who rushed over was, but he felt that the person's speed was not slow, and when he took out the sword, his swordsmanship had also reached the realm of lifting weights.
As soon as Sima Ying took out his sword, he stabbed Zhou Lie's throat, and Zhou Lie just slashed out a sword towards the crowd, but he didn't have time to collect his sword to block, so he could only block it sideways.
Sima Ying didn't expect Zhou Lie to dodge his sword, but he didn't hesitate, and with a backhand sword, he slashed at Zhou Lie's neck again.
Before this sword touched Zhou Lie, Sima Ying felt a sinking in his waist, and then he almost lost his center of gravity, and his footsteps staggered.
Just now, Zhou Lie kicked at the person who rushed to him, he kicked the other party's waist, but he didn't expect the other party to fall to the ground.
This aroused Zhou Lie's interest, and he turned his head to take a look, only to find that the person standing opposite was Sima Ying.
After Sima Ying stabilized his center of gravity, he took out his sword again, and Zhou Lie slashed out with a sword, killing the guards who were rushing towards him, and then swung his scabbard and hit the sword body of the You Ying Sword.
Sima Ying didn't expect that Zhou Lie could block his sword path with only a scabbard on the way to the forbidden army. As soon as the You Ying Sword was hit by Zhou Lie's scabbard, he felt a strong force spread along the sword body to his palm, shaking his mouth numb.
That's a lot of strength!
In a very short battle, Sima Ying had already realized that Zhou Lie's sword skills were probably still above him, he didn't dare to have any reservations, and suddenly rose into the air, and when his body floated into the air, he twisted his waist and shoulders, and the sword stabbed at Zhou Lie at an extremely tricky angle.
Moon-skimming!
This is Sima Ying's famous stunt, in the past, anyone who saw him use this trick failed to see the rising sun the next day.
Zhou Lie also sensed a hint of danger, he looked sideways at Sima Ying, and saw through Sima Ying's sword path with just this glance, and then shook the scabbard and slapped it on the sword body of You Ying Sword again.
This time, Zhou Lie used all his strength.
Just hearing a click, the You Ying Sword was smashed on the spot, and Sima Ying only felt a huge force in front of him, and his body lost its center of gravity in mid-air, and then flew away from the heads of many guards.
After landing on the ground, Sima Ying coughed violently, just now, he felt as if all the bones in his body had been shattered, and the severe pain almost paralyzed his body, and at this time, all the internal organs were constantly surging, making Sima Ying want to vomit.
What is the first sword in the world, what sword art has reached the realm of transformation, now Sima Ying finally understands that there is a huge gap between him and Zhou Lie that can never be crossed, and in front of Zhou Lie, he is nothing.
