Chapter 41: The Fierce Battle (5)
Yingzui Pass is an important military town, which has developed for thousands of years and has a population of 100,000. In addition to more than 8,000 officers and soldiers, there are also 40,000 family members of sergeants and more than 50,000 residents in the town, including merchants, hunters, loose cultivators, religious believers, mercenaries, alchemists, refiners, animal tamers, etc., and there is no shortage of masters with profound cultivation.
How could the inhabitants of the city not keep an eye on the battle in this city? They saw that the northern part of the city wall had collapsed, and the enemy had opened a gap, and it was not surprising that the enemy army behind them would surely be surging in a steady stream.
When the city wall is lost, the whole city is in danger. At the moment of intermittent survival, there were dozens of civil experts, without mobilization, who took the initiative to jump onto the city wall and join the battle to defend the city.
As a result, the situation reversed, and Yang Tianyi and other twenty-two soldiers of the Southern Army gradually fell into a predicament, and they could not advance or retreat.
Yang Tianyi knew that if the lone army went deep and dragged it on, it was likely that the whole army would be annihilated, so he was fighting while secretly looking for an opportunity to retreat.
Fortunately, the northern section of the city wall was broken, and the reinforcements desperately landed in the city, and after paying great sacrifices, more than 100 people finally broke through the bow and crossbow defense line and rushed to join Yang Tianyi and others.
Yang Tian saw the opportunity, roared, and ordered a retreat.
Xiang Jinge was resolute and resolute, bold and reckless, unwilling to return in vain, so he let a companion take over the opponent, jumped out of the grappling, and then jumped up to the city tower and axed He Xiaoduo.
Although Dai Zhong was fighting with Yang Tianyi and others, he didn't dare to forget his duties, and always paid attention to the movements around He Xiaoduo.
Tang Feng was originally standing beside He Xiaoduo, but the command battle was tight, and he gradually distanced himself from He Xiaoduo, and when he saw Xiang Jinge's giant axe slashing at He Xiaoduo, he was really dumbfounded, his hands and feet were cold, like falling into an ice cave.
In the heart of the Shield King, the sum of ten or hundreds of eagle's beak passes is probably not as important as her alone.
lost the Eagle's Beak Pass, and there may be a way to live, but if He Xiaoduo is broken, his ten heads are not enough to cut off.
In the Qinglong Continent, no matter whether they have awakened or not, there are always a large number of people who are unwilling to cultivate martial souls. The reason is that the deeper the martial soul is cultivated, the longer the lifespan, but at the same time, the more difficult it is to reproduce.
One is their own longevity, the other is reproduction, how to choose, of course, varies from person to person.
And the emperor, as the ruler of the country, has little choice. If you don't have the strength to be strong, how can you sit on the throne that everyone covets? Therefore, cultivating the martial soul and maintaining the superiority of force is the inevitable choice of every ruler.
He Baichuan still has an only daughter, the emperor of the Tuhao Empire and He Baichuan's brother He Qianliu, but he has no heir.
Therefore, it was once rumored in the imperial court that He Xiaoduo might be succeeded to the emperor in the future, although it was not publicly confirmed, but it was enough to show her importance.
Wen Yanxin heard the shouting, turned his head and saw that He Xiaoduo was attacked, knowing that he couldn't save it, he immediately left the enemy and threw himself into the rescue.
Whether or not he can be saved in the end, this is the attitude that a courtier must have!
While others were worried about He Xiaoduo, she herself was not panicked. In the face of Xiang Jinge's fierce approach, she smiled suddenly, and a crystal clear milky white pigeon orchid rose leisurely behind her.
This pigeon orchid is faintly fragrant, the petals are white, the stamens are just like the milk swallow returning to the nest, the wings are ready to rest, it is really a different species in the flower, it is extremely rare.
How did Xiang Jinge know that He Xiaoduo had already launched a fatal counterattack against him between words and laughter? At that time, he only felt a palpitation in his heart and a cramping pain in his chest, and this axe could not be chopped, his eyes were stunned, and he did not remember to dodge.
He Xiaoduo's slender hand was raised, and Xiang Jinge's burly and strong body, like a kite with a broken string, swayed and fell off the city tower.
It turns out that He Xiaoduo is an extreme emotional attribute soul master, corresponding to the spiritual attribute, one directly captures people's hearts, and the other attacks the human brain, which is rare in the world.
Although He Xiaoduo is young, he has already broken through one after another and become a thirty-eighth-level great soul master. If it is said that Long Yuandong and He Dali are talented and have good qualifications, then He Xiaoduo has surpassed them in terms of qualifications and talents, and they have also been instructed by famous teachers since childhood.
No matter how brave Xiang Jinge is, he is only a forty-third level Soul Venerable, only half a level stronger than Zhi He Xiaoduo, and under the hard battle, his strength is exhausted, and he is taking advantage of the gap to sneak attack, and the enemy is insufficient, so he was countered by her.
Yang Tianyi took advantage of Dai Zhong's astonishment and distraction, the sleeves of his robe moved, rolled up Xiang Jinge's body, made a false move, and jumped under the city wall.
Dai Zhong was glad to see that He Xiaoduo was unharmed, and strode forward, thunder and lightning roared, hitting Yang Tianyi's back.
Yang Tian was in mid-air, unable to dodge, and was suddenly electrocuted to the outside and tender inside, his sleeves were on fire, his hair and beard turned into charred ash, and he was seriously injured. As soon as his feet touched the ground, he rolled in the snow, did not dare to stop, and ran back.
In the Zhongming Imperial Army, on the high watchtower, Shi Zhengyang saw the battle process clearly, and deeply regretted the failure of Yang Tianyi's action.
But at the same time, he was also glad that Xiang Jinge didn't kill He Xiaoduo.
Xiang Jinge's bravery was good, but he didn't know that after killing He Xiaoduo, it would bring endless trouble to Shi Zhengyang.
If Xiang Jinge killed He Xiaoduo, this war would not have been stopped if Shi Zhengyang said he wanted to.
At this point, Shi Zhengyang could only minimize the losses and ordered Mingjin to withdraw his troops and make another plan.
More than 20 elite soldiers of the Southern Army on the city wall, led the soldiers of the follow-up reinforcements, and they all looked for opportunities to jump off the city wall and retreated in a hurry. Needless to say, when they wanted to retreat, some people were seriously injured or killed.
He Xiaoduo saw that the enemy army was repulsed, breathed a long sigh of relief, and turned around to see the soldiers on the city wall wailing, dripping with blood, the city wall collapsed, full of devastation, and her heart was quite sad.
She wandered for a while, went down to the city tower, found Yun Tianjia, Long Yuandong, and He Dali who were in a daze, and ordered the guards to take them to the city tower and treat them carefully.
Tang Feng ran to the city pass, commanded the songs to comfort the wounded, counted the dead, repaired the city wall, etc., and saw the body of Wang Xiong, the captain of the first battalion, with his own eyes, remembering the life and death of the past decades, talking and laughing, he couldn't help but feel sad, tears wet his clothes, and his hatred for the Zhongming Empire increased by three points.
At dusk, the Zhongming Empire sent more than a dozen weak old men and six carriages to take away the remains of the southern soldiers of the Zhongming Empire many times.
Although everyone hated the enemy army, they did not prevent them from taking away the body, which is also a common rule in war. Because if you insist on stopping the enemy's corpse, not only will it arouse the hatred of the opponent out of thin air, but over time, the corpse will decompose, and it will also be easy to spread epidemics, and there will be no benefit at all.
