Chapter 52 The Enemy Arrives
There is a Ye City more than 300 miles north of Quling City, there is Muhua in front of the city, the two mountains in Jingyuan are opposite to each other, and there is only a line of looking at the sky in the middle canyon, which is the barrier to the north of the Flame Clan, and Huo Lingze's younger brother Huo Lingen led two thousand elite Longyan troops to guard here.
The Flame Clan's territory is mostly a vast sandy wasteland, once Yecheng passes, it is more than 200 miles of Pingchuan, if the enemy breaks through Yecheng, he can drive straight into the realm of no man, just like a bayonet inserted into the vital point of the Flame Clan, the importance of the location of this place can be imagined.
Huo Lingen and Huo Lingze are two years apart in age, they look about the same, but their personalities are different. Huo Lingze is vigorous and resolute, and he is a powerful son with a bold personality, but Huo Lingen is a thoughtful and steady character.
After dinner, Huo Lingen was reading the military book in the room, and he was watching it in the candlelight, when suddenly a person broke in in a panic and shouted: "Captain Huo, it's not good, there is an enemy coming!"
Huo Lingen pressed the book in his hand on the table, frowned and asked, "Who is it?"
The man shook his head, "I don't know, it's a large number of people in black armor, about five hundred people, and they have already crossed the day line and rushed towards Ye Cheng." ”
Huo Lingen suddenly got up, and asked as he hurried out, "How could the enemy come so quickly, and how could there be no black eagle summons?" "Could it be that the guards of several towns in front of Ye City have already been killed?"
Huo Lingen, who realized the seriousness of the matter, immediately gathered all the Dragon Yan troops and waited for them.
Huo Lingen came to the city wall, only to see Mu Hua, a fire had already ignited under Jingyuan Mountain, obviously he had experienced a fight, but less than a kilometer in front of him, the black-armored warrior had already come to the city, "It's a member of the Earth Demon Clan, go to the Flying Eagle to send a message and inform the main hall!"
"Yes!" one of the Long Yan soldiers in charge of the communication retreated from the city wall.
The black-armored warriors marched briskly in the night, and it was their mission to fight quickly.
Huo Lingen looked at the black-armored warriors surging like a tide under his feet and shouted, "Release the arrow!"
The guards on the city wall raised their longbows, and countless rockets burning with the true fire of samadhi shot out.
One of the black-armored warriors flew into the sky, lifting two huge golden balls with both hands, and suddenly ejected them.
The golden ball hit the city wall, blasting open a gap, and the two Long Yan soldiers who had time to escape were instantly blown to pieces.
"Hahahaha, I can finally fight head-on with the Long Yan Army, I want to see if the legendary Long Yan Army is really that powerful. Ji Ji smiled, and there were two golden balls in his hands, which were constantly expanding.
The city wall was blown open with a gap seven or eight meters long, and the Long Yan army guarding the city was restless one by one, and some couldn't help but be angry, and flames had already begun to ignite on their bodies.
Huo Lingen didn't rush to launch a counterattack, but said to the four Long Yanjun standing next to him: "Find a way to stop that person's golden ball, don't let it hit the city wall again." ”
When the four of them received the order, their bodies lit up with dark blue flames, and they flew towards Ji Ji with flaming knives in their hands.
Seeing that Long Yanjun was flying towards him, he shouted that the golden ball bounced away, and the four Long Yanjun didn't even have time to dodge, and they were immediately blown to pieces.
Huo Lingen's face twisted in anger, and he raised his hand and flew out a musket, cutting through the night, and quickly stabbing at him.
The golden light in his hand exploded, and he threw a punch at the musket.
The musket flew in front of Yaji, and with a thud, it dispersed, turning into countless arrows and shooting indiscriminately into the crowded group of black-armored warriors, burning several people in a row.
Huo Lingen raised the black flag of the Flame Clan in his hand and shouted loudly: "One squad, two squads kill me!"
"Roar!"
An earth-shattering roar erupted in the Long Yan army, and I saw the gate of Ye City slowly open, and a thousand Long Yan soldiers dressed in flame armor poured out of the city with flame swords in their hands
Looking at the size of the enemy, it is only five hundred people at most, although he doesn't know how powerful the combat power of the black-armored warriors is, but the enemy dares to break into Yecheng with a force of five hundred people, obviously he came prepared, so he didn't dare to be careless. Using a thousand people at a time is an unprecedented precedent in Yecheng.
Huo Lingen knew that the most powerful thing in the place was the golden light in his hand, and he flew up from the city wall at the moment, the blue flame armor covered his body, and a long halberd was conjured out of thin air in his hand, which stabbed into the chest.
Yaji tilted his head and squinted his eyes, smiling, "There are really people who don't know whether they are alive or dead, and they dare to come to fight against Lao Tzu." ”
The halberd stabbed out, and there was a buzzing sound of breaking the air.
He was conceited and conceited, so he directly reached out to take the halberd.
Huo Lingen suddenly flipped his wrist, the tip of the halberd slashed, and stabbed his throat with his hands.
"It's kind of interesting. Yaji was secretly taken aback, and quickly took two steps back.
Huo Lingen pressed forward step by step, the tip of the halberd getting closer and closer to Ya Ji's throat, and with a roar, the halberd flew out of his hand.
Yaji stepped on the ground and stopped, opened his mouth and took a deep breath, the air flow formed a vortex, and a halberd burning with Samadhi True Fire was swallowed into his stomach.
Huo Lingen was also taken aback, he didn't expect that Yao Ji would be able to use this kind of evil technique, and he once again conjured a flaming halberd in his hand.
Beside him, three black-armored samurai armed with swarthy long-handled scythes rushed towards him.
Huo Lingen's halberd flipped in his hand, and the tip of the halberd changed to three again, and he turned around and stabbed the throats of the three black-armored warriors.
There was a muffled bang, and the head of the black-armored warrior exploded into smoke and filled the air, and the burly body that had lost its head fell to the ground with a bang.
Huo Lingen's eyes were full of murderous aura, and he shouted: "Long Yan Army, fight bravely!"
In the fierce battle, the Long Yan army saw that the captain was brave and powerful, and killed three people as soon as he made a move, all of them were full of morale, and the flame knife was wielded more vigorously.
"I'll go to your uncle's brave battle! Lao Tzu will kill you first!" Yao Ji's five fingers flew up like a hook, and the two golden balls spun rapidly and became bigger.
Huo Lingen flashed the golden ball hit by Yaoji, and the ground was constantly blasted out of huge deep pits, and for a while, the dust in the field was flying, and his vision was a little blurred.
Huo Lingen and Yao Ji fought fiercely, and suddenly a blue light fell from the sky and rushed into the camp, the dazzling light flashed a few times like thunder and lightning, and the blood flowed from the abdomen of dozens of Long Yan soldiers, and before everyone could understand what was happening, their bodies suddenly split into two, and their upper bodies fell to the ground, and they died with their eyes open.
Huo Lingen's pupils dilated suddenly, and he rose up with all his strength and threw a fire fist to force Ji Ji back dozens of steps.
After the blue light flashed in the crowd, he suddenly retreated from the battlefield and turned into a personable boy in a green shirt, smiling, holding a folding fan and gently fanning it on his chest.
"Hua Qinghuan, why are you here?" Although the helper came, Yao Ji didn't look happy on his face.
Hua Qinghuan said leisurely: "It was Zhong Wudao who asked me to come, he knew that you would not take Ye Cheng easily, so he asked me to help." Although the man was a man, he spoke softly and sounded like a woman's voice.
Ji Ji shouted: "It's really nosy, I don't like others to interfere the most." ”
Hua Qinghuan took the folding fan and said, "You think I'm happy to take care of your, if Zhong Wudao hadn't asked me to come, I wouldn't have bothered to do it." ”
Long Yanjun was killed by Hua Qinghuan so many people at one time, and the situation was immediately reversed, and the black-armored warriors continued to advance, and they were about to rush into Ye City.
There were still less than a thousand Long Yan troops in Ye City, and although they were already ready to go, they would not go out of the city even half a step without Huo Lingen's order.
Huo Lingen left his jealousy alone, and flew into the crowd to fight against the black-armored warriors.
There are not so many elite black-armored warriors of the Earth Demon Clan, in order to increase the momentum, Zhong Wudao mixed a large number of captives and surrendered personnel, so the strength is uneven, and the black-armored warriors who are really trained in the Earth Demon Clan are stronger than the Long Yan Army.
After a battle, both sides died heavily, but most of the black-armored samurai who died were imposters, and the real elites were still fighting frantically.
Huo Lingen's halberd hit the chest of a black-armored warrior, and pushed hard, but the halberd did not stab into it at all, the black-armored warrior was expressionless, raised his hand and lifted a swift wind knife, and the long-handled sickle in his hand slashed at Huo Lingen's throat.
With so many brothers dead, Huo Lingen held back a wave of anger in his heart, and with a roar, the halberd grew violently and exploded, blowing up half of the body of the black-armored warrior.
The black-armored samurai, who had only half of his body left, was still able to fight, and rushed forward with a scythe sword.
"You're not dead yet, are you, then I'll let you die through!" Huo Lingen slammed his fist of fire, and the flames exploded, blowing the black-armored warrior to pieces.
Hearing a loud bang, the city wall of Yecheng was blown open by the golden ball again, and the black flag of the Flame Clan planted on the city wall flew into the sky, and the flag cloth had been blown up, leaving only the bare flagpole to fall at Huo Lingen's feet with a bang.
Hua Qinghuan leisurely paced and shook the folding fan outside the battle field, and for some reason did not join the battle again.
Was it because he was already confident about Yao Ji to break through Ye Cheng, or was there another reason? Huo Lingen didn't think much about it, he led the Long Yan army, which was less than three hundred left, to retreat to the city step by step.
The black-armored warriors also suffered a lot of casualties, but there were more than 300 people who could still fight, and the terrifying thing was that they could hardly feel the pain, even if they were half-broken, they could still fight like ordinary people.
Huo Lingen probably knew that this group of people had probably been controlled by drugs or evil arts, and had become a state of no human or ghost.
The Long Yan army retreated under the city wall, and the remaining 1,000 people in the city suddenly heard Huo Lingen's order, and they flew out of the city like arrows from the string.
Outside, the Long Yan army immediately dispersed left and right without commanding, giving way to a large avenue in the middle, and a thousand Long Yan army slaughtered and shook the sky, holding high the flame sword, all with hideous faces.
Huo Lingen decided to capture the thief and capture the king first, and take down the jealousy in one fell swoop, he glanced at Hua Qinghuan outside the court, who was looking down at the folding fan, looking like he didn't care about himself.
The newly joined Long Yan Army was like a sharp blade out of the sheath, scattering the black-armored warriors left and right at once.
Huo Lingen aimed his hand at the long halberd and flew out, and then flew forward.
Ji Ji stared at the golden light in Huo Lingen's hand, and said viciously: "If you struggle, you will die!"
The halberd did not stab the taboo, but flew in front of him and fell into the ground.
Huo Lingen had already conjured another halberd in his hand, and raised his hand to stab it fiercely.
The golden ball in his hand was formed, and he slammed it out with a loud cry.
"Fire Cage!"
Huo Lingen shouted, and the flames under Yaoji's feet were all over the ground, and pillars of fire stood on all sides, surrounding Yaoji in the center.
