475 Mighty Great
When Li Xiang and the others came to the Fire Catching City, they saw hundreds of people queuing up to enter the city in panic. The Fire Catching City is the largest and strongest city in the vicinity, and ordinary people who live in the countryside and are not protected by the city walls naturally gather here.
But so many people gathered in the Fire Catching City, it was inevitable that the city would be crowded. Especially near the city gate, it is even more impassable. And at this time, there was also a red-eyed nobleman who came out against the current, urging the horse to make a way in the crowd without any scruples. This made everyone have a bad impression of him, but this red-eyed nobleman was still unconscious, and when he found Cai Rou, a stunning beauty, his eyes suddenly burst with brilliance, and he obviously had bad intentions when he checked Li Xiang, who was obviously a Cai Rou man.
At this time, Niya was not with Li Xiang and them, but went to maintain the order of the refugees entering the city, but Nianjia was still there, and he also knew the red-eyed nobleman, so he immediately reprimanded him unceremoniously, so that the red-eyed heart was on fire and could not continue to pursue it, so he had to get out of the way.
After entering the city, Li Xiang and Cai Rou were arranged to stay in the rooms of the Duke's Palace. The first thing to do when you get here is, of course, to wash off the dust that has been stained in the desert for months.
It's getting dark, it's time to rest, and Conya is still busy, not only to settle the refugees, but also to prepare the city defenses and prepare for war with the Black Forks. Li Xiang met her in the courtyard, and as soon as she chatted a few words, she was urged to go to a meeting by the generals behind her.
After dinner, Li Xiang hugged Cai Rou to bed to rest. But as soon as I fell asleep, I heard a thunderous shouting outside. Not only was Li Xiang awakened, but Cai Rou was also awakened. This made Li Xiang a little annoyed, and the Black Fork people actually came to attack the city in the middle of the night. Disturb people's dreams, how can they do without teaching them a lesson? So Li Xiang immediately got up. Put on your armor and hang up your weapons. Riding on the snow, he left the Duke's palace and rushed to the head of the city.
Walking on the street, I saw many refugees huddled under the eaves of the street because they had nowhere to live. They were also awakened by the sudden siege of the Black Fork people, and they were panicking, and they couldn't help but cheer when they found that someone had taken the initiative to meet them.
In fact, not only Li Xiang, but also many young and strong civilians were organized to transport materials such as rolling wood and stones, drinking water and dry food to the city. So the streets are very busy. Even if Li Xiang rode the flying snow, he couldn't speed up, so he could only walk slowly with them.
While passing through an intersection, a splendid carriage also joined the procession. There were also more than a dozen knights around the carriage as escorts, and at a glance you knew that they were big shots. And after this big man found Li Xiang, he actually stopped the carriage, and a tall and thin old man in a white robe got out of the car. As soon as the old man appeared, the people around him immediately saluted respectfully and called him "Spiritual Priest".
The Lingzhi priest only nodded slightly to the others, but came to Li Xiang. He looked at it with eyes full of wisdom for a long time before asking, "Young man, you are the one who blessed Nianjia to come back from the other side of the desert, right?" ”
Li Xiang heard Nian Jia talk about the ruling structure of the Pure Land. The supreme decision-makers of the Pure Land were the eight priests, and I didn't expect the old man in front of me to be one of them. But no matter how high the other party's status is, Li Xiang doesn't care. Listening to the other party's question, he simply nodded.
The wise priests were not disgusted. Then he asked, "Where are you going now?" ”
Li Xiang said: "I can't sleep because the black fork people stir me, go teach them a lesson." ”
In the Pure Land, the people were beaten and defeated one after another. When he was embarrassed, Li Xiang was ashamed to say that he was going to teach the Black Fork a lesson, which immediately aroused the ridicule and dissatisfaction of many people, thinking that he was too arrogant. However, the Spiritual Priest nodded very seriously and said, "It's time for the Black Fork people to teach a lesson, young man, thank you for joining us, come with me." ”
This spiritual priest did not live up to the name of "spiritual wisdom" and seemed to have the ability to foresee the future. Although Li Xiang is quite different from the Holy Sword Knight prophesied seven hundred years ago, many people do not think that Li Xiang is the Holy Sword Knight, but the Lingzhi Priest obviously has a different opinion and attaches great importance to Li Xiang.
When he and the Spiritual Priest arrived at the top of the city, Niya and a dozen generals were standing at the top of the city and staring out of the city. Although it was dark at this time, I couldn't tell how many Black Fork people came, but just looking at the number of torches as many stars in the sky, I knew that the number of Black Fork troops was definitely quite large.
In the face of the pressure of the Black Fork army, the generals of the Pure Land were all as pale as the earth, especially the war drums sounded in the Black Fork Army, and when they were about to attack the city overnight, many people even sweated down. Only Li Xiang looked relaxed, leaning against the wall and looking lazy.
The Lingzhi priest is not good at force, but he is much calmer than many generals, and asked Li Xiang in a flat tone: "The disaster is just around the corner, how can we resolve it?" ”
There were so many Pure Land generals present, and the Lingzhi priest came to ask Li Xiang, an outsider, without asking them, which surprised everyone, including Niya. Li Xiang didn't think there was anything wrong, the Pure Land people had been comfortable for too long, their generals were all domestic canaries, and they couldn't count on it at the critical moment, and it had to depend on Li Xiang. And Li Xiang was arrogant enough, and said in a casual tone: "It's very simple, I'll go and get their boss's head, and everything will be solved." ”
His words made all the Pure Land generals scoff, and even the Lingzhi priest frowned. At this time, the Black Fork stopped three miles outside the city, and then a group of infantry rushed forward to the position between the Black Fork Army and the city wall, and then another group of cavalry galloped out of the formation and stopped in the middle of the army and the infantry formation. Looking at the banner of this cavalry, it turned out to be Xi Zhu, the commander of the Black Fork Army.
This made the Pure Land generals very angry, and Xi Zhutong's move was too disdainful of the Pure Land people, which was simply contempt. But the people of the Pure Land were angry and angry, but no one dared to really do anything, so they could only scold a few words at the head of the city.
Li Xiang shook his head in disappointment and said: "This Xi Zhutong, if you want to die, you can't die like this, it's not difficult to kill him at all, it's really boring." ”
The red-eyed nobleman is also among the many generals, he has long seen Li Xiang unpleasantly, and now when he heard him say this, he immediately sarcastically said: "It's useless to brag here, you said that you can kill Xi Zhutong, he is down there now, you should go!" ”
Nia glared at her, and then said with a little dissatisfaction, "Mr. Rand, this is not a place for jokes, there are some things that cannot be said nonsense. ”
Li Xiang didn't bother to explain to her, just said, "Open the city gate and let me go out." ”
Nia was stunned and said, "Are you really going?" No, I can't let you die! ”
Several more mature generals also persuaded Li Xiang not to be impulsive. But the Spiritual Priest said, "Let him go, and we will win!" ”
When a wise priest speaks, others stop admonishing. There are also a few people who are similar to red-eyed nobles, and they can't wait to let Li Xiang go to death, which is an eyesore in the province.
Li Xiang ignored them, turned around and got off the city, and rode on the snow. The reason why he didn't use the Divine Foot Pass to kill Xi Zhutong in seconds was because the Divine Foot Pass was too mysterious, and even if he killed Xi Zhutong, it would only amaze the Pure Land people, but it had no other effect. But if Li Xiang rushed out single-handedly and took the head of Zhu Tong in the Ten Thousand Army Array, let the Pure Land people know that the Black Fork people are not gods and demons, and they can also be defeated, so as to better boost the morale of the Pure Land people.
The city gate opened, and Li Xiang rode out of the city gate on flying snow. It just so happened that the Black Fork people also sent a warrior to shout under the city, with the intention of challenge. But before he could finish calling, Li Xiang appeared in front of him. This black fork warrior is also a brave man, so it doesn't matter who Li Xiang is, as long as he comes out of the city, he can kill him. So he didn't hesitate to hold up the big iron spear, which was much heavier than any spear Li Xiang had ever seen, and rushed forward with a shout.
Faced with the challenge of this black fork warrior, Li Xiang didn't look at it at all, he pulled out his iron spear at will, and when the two horses approached, he deflected the opponent's big iron spear with a slight flick, and then took advantage of the situation to smash the head of this black fork warrior!
The headless corpse of the Black Fork warrior continued to sit on horseback and ran more than ten feet away before falling off the horse with a "poof". But Li Xiang seemed to have done something insignificant, and the horse didn't stop, and continued to rush towards the black fork man.
But the Pure Land people watching the battle at the head of the city were so excited, they never thought that there would be someone who killed the Black Fork people like chickens, it was incredible! The Pure Landers were defeated again and again in front of the Black Fork people, and suddenly there was a victory, which almost made their brains congested and about to explode!
The Black Fork people obviously didn't expect their own warriors to lose so badly, and hurriedly sent seven or eight knights to intercept Li Xiang. But how could only seven or eight people intercept Li Xiang? When the two sides met, Li Xiang had two spears in his hands, and more than a dozen spear shadows appeared, and these seven or eight knights didn't even have time to make a move, they fell off their horses one after another, and blood sprayed wildly in their throats!
Xi Zhutong also understood his carelessness at this time, and hurriedly sent more than a dozen people to intercept Li Xiang, and at the same time, the infantry team that came out hurriedly rushed over, wanting to protect Xi Zhutong. It's a pity that they woke up too late, under the shadow of Li Xiang's heavy spears, no matter how many people came, they were all killed in seconds, and they couldn't even make Li Xiang slow down. And Feixue was also in a big swing at this time, and it didn't take a few steps to catch up with Zhu Tong, who was retreating, forcing him to turn around to face the battle.
Xi Zhu is one of the seven great generals of the Black Fork people, and his own strength is still good, and when it comes to desperate efforts, a big axe can also make it extremely powerful. It's a pity that he met Li Xiang, and after a few moves, along with his few remaining guards, all died under Li Xiang's spear.
Xi Zhutong was really killed by Li Xiang single-handedly, and the Pure Land people in the city were even more crazy, shouting so loudly that no one knew what they were shouting. At the same time, the Black Fork people are also crazy, and they don't want to kill them, and they are bound to let Li Xiang stay behind. In the face of tens of thousands of black fork troops, Li Xiang still smiled, danced two spears, and rushed towards them! (To be continued.) )
