Chapter 023: Brave a Thousand Armies
Eight tentacles, each with a sharp sword, resembling eight circular spinning chainsaws that spin at high speed.
Eight chainsaws flying in the air quickly split into eight directions and flew towards the crowd.
For a while, the archers in the front row turned pale with fright, and without the order of the commander, they instinctively pulled their bows and shot arrows. Suddenly, the arrow shot at the spinning sword, making a sonorous sound of metal colliding, and sparks flew in all directions.
But this long sword did not do much, only slowed down the speed of the long sword's advance.
The chainsaw-like sword still made its way through the web of arrows and plunged headlong into the crowd of archers.
Suddenly, the limbs decomposed, the flesh and blood flew, and the screams were repeated.
The archers retreated, and the heavy infantry stepped forward with shields, forming a tortoiseshell formation. ”
At a critical moment, Zhang Hezheng ordered.
This order saved the lives of at least a hundred archers, because in just a few breaths, most of the archers had already fallen.
The archers did not receive amnesty, but ran away and retreated behind the heavy infantry.
"Drink, drink, drink. ”
With shouts, the heavy infantry soldiers quickly formed a circular formation, and the outermost soldiers stood their shields on the ground.
"Raise your shield!"
As Zhang Hezheng gave an order, the soldiers in the middle raised their shields.
This tortoiseshell array was indeed good, and the long sword that had been slaughtered against the shieldless archers before slammed into the shield, making a thumping sound and sparks flying everywhere.
Seeing that the dense shield wall made the high-speed spinning sword useless, the witch dragon stopped shaking the sword and turned to a simple flying sword, which pierced directly into the soldier's shield wall through the gap in the shield wall.
The heavy infantry wore thick scale armor, and most of the flying swords pierced the scale armor of the heavy infantry in vain. However, there were still a few unlucky people, and the flying sword pierced into the neck of the scale armor that was not protected.
Suddenly, the screams came and went.
"Advance in formation!"
With Zhang Hezheng's order, the heavy infantry formed a neat formation and approached the gate step by step.
"Drink, drink, drink......"
Under this indomitable momentum, the occasional few fallen figures could no longer stop the pace of the heavy infantry.
No one knew that Zhang Hezheng, who was riding a tall horse at this time, was already sweating nervously.
It's a failure, and it's a big deal!
As long as the heavy infantry can storm into the palace, hundreds of well-trained and well-equipped soldiers will not be able to deal with a killer.
Zhang Hezheng's idea is a bit reasonable, Wu Long's flying sword is indeed difficult to work against the tortoiseshell array. But is this all there is to the witch dragon?
Since there is no threat from archers, how can these bulky soldiers endure themselves.
Instantaneous!
After five or six momentary steps, I saw that the witch dragon appeared like a ghost, flashed, and in the blink of an eye, he climbed over the wall and flashed directly in the direction of Zhang Hezheng.
Capture the thief and capture the king first!
"Protect the general!" The guards beside Zhang Hezheng drew their swords one after another.
In a few breaths, the witch dragon was killed.
Zhang Hezheng's personal guards are all carefully selected elite soldiers, and their martial arts are good, and they may be able to gain the upper hand against ordinary soldiers, but for Wu Long, it is still too far behind.
In addition, the weapon in Wu Long's hand is a sword that has been tempered thousands of times, the Blue Sword.
"Dangdangdang......"
Few soldiers could withstand more than two rounds, and the scale armor sewn with iron pieces on the soldier's body could no longer stop the sharp blue sword.
For a time, the guards were beheaded, with broken arms, broken legs, beheaded by waists, pierced chests, and all kinds of corpses.
Soul stones are a good thing, especially for witch dragons.
Previously, it was only possible to bind the soul with soul tentacles by tying grasshoppers in the same way. Now, the witch dragon only needs to store too much soul power directly into the soul stone, and the operation is simple and convenient.
Zhang Hezheng saw Wu Long's one-sided slaughter of the guards and couldn't stand it anymore. He drew his steel sword, turned over and dismounted, and attacked the witch dragon.
I have to say that Zhang He Zhengrong has been in his horse career for many years, and his kung fu is good, but he is old and weak, and he was captured by Wulong in just five rounds.
"General!" the guards were anxious.
Seeing that Zhang He was in trouble, the archers who had no fighting spirit also rekindled their fighting spirit, and surrounded them one after another, holding their bows and aiming at Wulong.
"Tell your men to put down their weapons. Wu Long held his sword and rested in front of Zhang Hezheng's neck.
This scene is just like Zhang Hezheng's son treats catkins now, and now feng shui takes turns, and it is Zhang Hezheng's turn to be on himself.
"Leave me alone, release the arrows!" Zhang Hezheng shouted with a high-spirited face.
"General!" the soldiers shouted anxiously.
The heavy infantry who had originally entered the palace in formation reacted strangely when they heard it. And the other soldiers surrounding the Red Leaf Mansion all rushed over one after another, with the witch dragon as the center, and the entire square was blocked.
Wu Long said calmly: "As long as you are not a fool, you know that your soldiers can't help me." ”
"Leave me alone, release the arrow!" Zhang Hezheng still looked hard.
"General!" the soldiers became even more anxious.
Wu Long looked impatient, and said coldly: "I count to three, if you don't lay down your weapons, I will send your general to hell." ”
"Don't, don't!" the lieutenant walked out of the crowd.
"Niu An, it's none of your business here. Zhang Hezheng saw the figure of the deputy general and shouted solemnly.
"General, we can't live without you. Deputy General Niu An said worriedly.
At this time, Wu Long had already begun to count, "One!"
"General!" all the soldiers shouted anxiously.
"Two!"
"The old man only has the share of dying on the battlefield, and there is no possibility of surrender! If you want to kill or chop, listen to and respect!" Zhang Hezheng looked hard-hearted.
"Three!"
When the witch dragon counted to the third time, everyone held their breath, looking anxious, waiting for the tragedy to unfold.
However, the tragedy did not happen, and Wu Long did not kill Zhang Hezheng, which made the soldiers exhale one after another.
"Why don't you do it yet!" Zhang Hezheng said proudly.
Wu Long said coldly: "Shut up, there is no place for you to speak here!"
"The old man is the master of the army, the old man has no share of the law, who has the right to speak!" Zhang He said stiffly.
Wu Long snorted and asked, "Let me ask you, are you now captured by me?"
Zhang Hezheng was stunned for a while, and replied affirmatively: "That's right, the old man is already your prisoner, if you want to kill or chop, listen to it." ”
"Don't worry!" Wu Long asked again, "According to the rules of the army, if the supreme commander is killed or captured in battle, then who is qualified to continue to command the army. ”
Zhang Hezheng didn't think about it, so he replied: "Naturally, it is the one with the highest remaining position who takes over the army. ”
"Okay, you all get it. As he spoke, Wu Long pointed at the deputy general Niu An, and then said: "You, what you say now is the supreme order, hurry up and tell all your people to put down their weapons and retreat." ”
Zhang Hezheng was stunned, and Niu An was also stunned.
Wu Long snorted, "Are you deaf!"
Niu An came back to his senses at this time, and looked at Zhang Hezheng and didn't dare to speak.
Zhang Hezheng shouted again: "Niu An, leave me alone, hurry up and give the order, release the arrow!"
Wu Long said, "Shut up!"
On one side is the safety of the main general, and on the other side is the order of the main general, which makes the deputy general Niu An at a loss.
Seeing the hesitant behavior of the deputy general Niu An, Wu Long said impatiently: "My patience is limited. ”
In the end, Niu An finally made up his mind.
"Put your weapons down and stand back!"
Zhang Hezheng sighed and said, "Niu An, you!"
Hearing Niu An's order, the soldiers, who had long been concerned about the safety of the main general, laid down their weapons one by one, and their long bows, long swords, and shields were spread all over the ground, and after a while, the dense crowd in the square dispersed.
The deputy general, Niu An, looked at Wu Long and said, "Now you can release our general." ”
Wu Long's face replied expressionlessly, "What's the hurry! ”
Niu An ordered the soldiers: "Bring it here!"
After a while, two soldiers led the two horses of the main and deputy generals. These are two white horses in battle armor.
Niu An took the initiative to ask, "Do you have any other requirements?"
Wu Long looked at Niu An with approving, and then said, "Yes, very sensible." Tell your men to open the gates, lower the drawbridges, and then evacuate the walls all. ”
Niu An listened to Wu Long's request and was very angry, but he still gave an order: "Pass the order, open the city gate, lower the drawbridge, and evacuate the city wall." ”
The herald received the order and rode to the city gate to give the order.
After a while, the herald returned.
The gates have been opened, the drawbridge has been lowered, and everyone has evacuated the walls. ”
The deputy general Niu An looked at Wu Long and said, "Now you can release our general, I promise that after you leave, you will not pursue." ”
Wu Long shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, it's not right now, bring the rope." ”
The lieutenant waved his hand in displeasure and ordered, "Bring the rope." ”
After a while, the soldier brought a bundle of hemp rope.
Wu Long took the hemp rope, tied Zhang Hezheng tightly with his backhand, and then threw Zhang Hezheng on the horse's back.
Wu Long turned on his horse and shouted in the direction of the City Lord's Mansion, "Miss Liu, come out quickly, we are leaving." ”
Hearing Wu Long's words, Liu Fu poked his head out of the door and looked at it for a while, then trotted and ran over.
"Ren Lang!"
I saw that Liu Wu didn't know where to get a red dress, but it looked even more beautiful.
"Lord Zhang, I've wronged you first!" Wu Long patted Zhang Hezheng's shoulder, and then said to Liu Wu: "Get on the horse, let's go." ”
The catkins skillfully turned over and got on the horse.
"Drive!"
In this way, Wu Long held Zhang Hezheng hostage, took the catkins, and rode out with a swagger along the way.
Looking at the figure of Wu Long in the distance, the deputy general Niu An's expression was colorful, one moment angry, one moment helpless, and one moment afraid.
A centurion said, "General, why don't I take someone after me." ”
The deputy general Niu An shook his head and said, "It's not appropriate, just wait." ”
After passing through the city gate and the suspension bridge, the witch dragon and the catkins arrived outside the city, and before dawn, the insects and birds still sounded at night.
After walking a few hundred meters away from the city gate, Wu Long stopped his horse and threw Zhang Hezheng to the grass.
Before leaving, Wu Long left a sentence: "Woe to your family, for the sake of you being a good man, I don't want your life, but don't have any thoughts of revenge, otherwise, you will understand the consequences." ”
After saying that, the witch dragon and the catkins rode into the distance.
Looking at the figure of Wu Long in the distance, Zhang Hezheng's old face finally left tears.
"Son, my father is incapable of avenging you. ”
