489: Windfall
There are more than 1,000 people and horses, and there are 10,000 people, boundless. What's more, the men and horses sent by the Menggu army to attack the city, judging from the momentum of the smoke and dust, there were at least 100,000 people!
100,000 soldiers and horses, 100,000 iron hooves, once galloping at full speed, the prestige is magnificent, it is simply earth-shattering and unstoppable!
He Qianli, the general of the chariot and cavalry, has been on the battlefield for a long time, and he has experienced more than a hundred battles in his life, and even thousands of battles. Originally, with his strict management of the army, the essence of military training, and the geographical advantage of the Great Wall, it was not a problem for an army of 100,000 to attack the city.
No. It should be said that even if an army of 200,000 or even 300,000 attacked the city at the same time, He Qianli was confident enough to be able to give a head-on blow and beat the fierce ancient barbarians back. However, at this moment, the situation is really bad.
The four evil phases of antiquity, although temporarily dispersed. But the magic array outside the city was not damaged at all. Seeing that the dark clouds dispersed and reunited, and the evil spirit returned at any time, there were soldiers in the city full of soldiers in the Great Wall of Rock, but they did not dare to send them to battle at all.
You must know that once these soldiers leave the barracks and lose the protection of the formation, martial arts cultivators below the grandmaster level will definitely not be able to stop the invasion of the evil aura. When the time comes, the soldiers will be delirious and lose their instincts. Before the enemy could attack, they killed each other first, and they were very happy with each other. Expecting them to defend the city will definitely only lead to a faster breakdown, right?
This is not the first time that the enemy has attacked the city. However, in the past few days, even if the fierce ancient barbarians attacked the city, they only sent elite masters above the commander of a thousand commanders to attack. With the masters gathered in the Great Wall of Rock at this moment, they can barely resist it.
But now, the fierce ancient barbarians actually sent a whole army of 100,000 to attack the city? The so-called two fists are hard to defeat with four hands, and many ants bite the elephant to death. How can the people on the Great Wall of Rock resist?
All of a sudden, the general He Qianli, as well as the eldest prince and the second prince, all looked at each other. Although the Nine Emperor Princes were silent, they also made up their minds, and when they saw that the momentum was not right, they would immediately take a floating spaceship and escape from the sky.
The situation is critical. Xiao Sheng immediately made a decision, pulled up Yan Fulong and He Wuji, walked to the cold corner next to him, and whispered a few words. The two looked anxious and shook their heads again and again. In turn, he earnestly persuaded Xiao Sheng. But Xiao Sheng smiled and shook his head, then looked serious and said a few words again. Then he waved his hand casually, took out a box, and solemnly handed it to Yan Fulong.
Yan Fulong held the box in his hand, and he was shocked, and his eyebrows showed ecstasy. He Wuji looked strange and reached out to touch the box. Immediately afterwards, he revealed an expression that was exactly the same as Yan Fulong.
The two of them held the wooden box tightly and bowed deeply to Xiao Sheng. Then he turned and rushed down to the city. Xiao Sheng put his hands behind his back, watched their backs quickly disappear, and nodded slightly.
The three of them made a move, which attracted the attention of the second prince. He felt a little strange, and then his mind changed, strode over, and asked, "Old Fourteen, what did you let He Wuji and Yan Fulong and the two of them do?"
Xiao Sheng smiled lightly: "It's the opposite. I commanded them to gather the soldiers and prepare to come up and defend the city. ”
The second prince said coldly: "If this is the case, it is naturally the best." Otherwise, the old fourteen, it is a big crime to escape. Be careful. If there is a case, don't blame the second brother for not reminding him earlier, let alone saying that the second brother doesn't miss brotherhood. ”
Xiao Sheng smiled again and said, "Don't worry about the second brother." By the way, what happened to the military order just now? It's just the Blood Rong Fruit and the Golden Soul Pill, shouldn't the second brother be so stingy?"
The second prince was stunned, and then secretly regretted it. I'm not too idle to do anything, why are you here to provoke this old fourteen? After thinking about it, I feel that this old fourteen is really too unreasonable. Now that the enemy is in the city, he is still talking to himself about the conditions? He simply does not know how to measure, too ignorant of the severity, too indifferent to the upper and lower levels, and too indiscriminate between the inferior and the inferior.
His face sank, and the second prince said in a condensed voice: "Whether the formation is broken, whether the military order is established, this matter will not be mentioned for the time being." Old Fourteen, the fierce ancient barbarians have all been killed under our noses. You say, what should I do?"
Xiao Sheng didn't think about it, and said in a condensed voice: "Of course, it's a tooth for a tooth, and kill them without leaving a piece of armor." ”
The second prince sneered gloomily in his heart, and on the surface, he praised the knots: "Well spoken." In this case, then Old Fourteen, now I order you, while the enemy is far away and has not yet been able to gain a firm foothold, you first lead the troops and horses of your headquarters and go out of the city to kill for a while. I finally cut off a few heads of the captain and came back to boost the morale of the army. ”
"Second brother, what are you talking about?"
When the eldest prince next to him heard these words, he was shocked on the spot. He hurriedly walked over and said in a condensed voice: "The enemy army is strong, and we can only rely on the Great Wall and try our best to defend it. Once the city is opened, the consequences will be unimaginable!"
The second prince said disapprovingly: "Kaejo is of course dangerous for others to fight. But what is it for the old fourteen? On that day, under the city of the fierce ancient Tartar Chen Bing, hundreds of broken sea thunderbolt cannons were set up to attack the city, but didn't the old fourteen go out of the city in person and destroy those cannons, so as to temporarily keep the Great Wall safe? Now let the old fourteen come again, it will definitely be easy to master, and it will be easier to grasp. ”
"Second brother, you ...... You ......"
The eldest prince was angry and anxious, stomped his feet hard, and shouted: "The last time I went out of the city to destroy the cannons, I was really forced to do so. It was already a fluke that the old fourteen could return safely. Even so, Lao Fourteen was also injured internally and was forced to retreat for many days to recuperate, and finally recovered and got out. How can you guarantee that Old Fourteen will be as lucky as last time?"
The second prince said lightly: "I let the old fourteen out of the city, and I didn't say that he would go out of the city alone." He also has soldiers and horses under his command, but they are all decorations? No matter how bad it is, you and I will divide some of the soldiers and horses of the headquarters to the old fourteenth, and let him lead them out of the city. ”
The eldest prince said angrily: "The demon array has not been broken, and the evil spirit may come back at any time, what can the grandmaster do if he cultivates to the following soldiers?"
The second prince sneered: "The current situation of the Great Wall of Rock can be described as dangerous, how can it be the time to care about personal life and death? In order to defend the Great Wall and tear apart the fierce ancient barbarians, even if they sacrifice their lives heroically, it is also a matter of eternity.
It's a pity that I am the prince of the country, and I am the weight of the great power of the country, so I can't easily get into danger. Otherwise, I'd like to go out and kill myself. Alas~ Regret, what a pity. ”
After a pause, the second prince turned back to look at Xiao Sheng, and said with a smile: "Old Fourteen, the safety of the Great Wall of Rock depends on you." Come on, second brother, I support you spiritually. ”
"If you have moral support, you don't have to. ”
Xiao Sheng smiled and said, "How about the second brother give me some material support? For example, the Golden Soul Pill? To be honest, just now in order to break the four evils in the clouds, I evolved the Yuan Shen Law Phase, and now my vitality is greatly damaged, and I only have one success left." If there was no elixir such as the Golden Soul Pill, there was really no way to do it anymore. ”
The second prince was speechless by these words, and his face turned red. After a long time, he gritted his teeth fiercely and said in a condensed voice: "Old Fourteen, if there is a panacea that can help you recover your vitality, you are willing to go out of the city and tear it up?"
Xiao Sheng was slightly surprised. I thought that I proposed to ask for the Golden Soul Pill, but the lion opened his mouth and asked for a price all over the sky, just to tease you. Even if there really is no Golden Soul Pill, will I still sit back and watch the fierce ancient thieves attack the city, but I can't stand by and watch? But now...... Listening to your tone, do you really want to give me the Golden Soul Pill?
His mind turned, Xiao Sheng's eyebrows remained silent, and he smiled: "As long as I can do my best, I will naturally never give up." ”
"Okay, I'm just waiting for you!" the second prince felt a lot of pain in his heart, but he still tried his best to show a generous appearance. He raised his right hand and waved, and the jade ring on his middle finger immediately flashed with a turquoise light. Immediately afterwards, in the hands of the second prince, there was an extra rosewood box.
When the wooden box was opened, I saw a strange-shaped reptile inside. However, the reptile is not a living creature, just an empty shell that resembles a cicada.
In the depths of the dense forest in the western border of the Dahao Dynasty, there is a rare rare beast of different species in the wilderness, called the mother of the stone dragon. It itself contains poison, and when it sees blood, it seals its throat, and even a master at the level of a great grandmaster can't resist it. But the shell that the stone dragon mother sheds once every hundred years is a very precious elixir. It is called Shilong Yuan.
After rolling Shi Longyuan into powder and swallowing it, the effect is similar to that of the Golden Soul Pill. Not only does it greatly replenish vitality, but it also allows martial arts practitioners to break through bottlenecks and directly improve their realm. It can be said to be a treasure that all martial arts practitioners in the world dream of.
However, Shilong Yuan can only be eaten once. The second time I eat it, it has no effect. The Golden Soul Pill can be swallowed indefinitely and will not develop drug resistance. Therefore, in terms of preciousness, Shilong Yuan Avatar is still not as good as the Golden Soul Pill.
The stone dragon in front of him was also the birthday gift received at the queen's birthday banquet that day. However, the giver was not the second prince himself, but the eighth prince, Xiao Chang, nicknamed "Prince Xian". Now the reason why Shilong Yuan is in the hands of the second prince is needless to say, it is because of the queen who loves her son.
Xiao Sheng didn't expect that the second prince would be willing to take this thing out. He was stunned and asked, "Second brother, are you willing to give me Shi Longyuan?"
Now that you've taken things out, let's just dress up generously to the end. The second prince endured the pain in his flesh, stuffed the stone dragon yuan into Xiao Sheng's hand, and said with a dry smile: "Although the stone dragon yuan is precious, it is insignificant compared to the safety of the Great Wall of Rock. Old Fourteen, hurry up and crush it into powder and swallow it, the time is urgent, and the Menggu Tartars are about to attack the city. ”
Xiao Sheng smiled: "Okay." Since the second brother gave it, the younger brother was disrespectful. "Take out the stone dragon yuan from the rosewood box, close your palms, and press hard. In an instant, only the sound of "click~" shattering was heard, and then the palm of his hand was spread, and the stone dragon yuan had been crushed into a full palm of powder.
Xiao Sheng opened his mouth and tilted his head and put the powder into his mouth. With another flick of his right hand, he took out a wine gourd. Pull out the cork of the gourd, and the wine is fragrant on the spot. It was a jug of marching wine.
Xiao Sheng drank three sips of marching wine in a row, and poured all the powder into his stomach. In an instant, his whole body was full of energy, like a volcanic eruption, roaring and surging through his body. The momentum was fierce, and the second prince and the eldest prince and others were forced to retreat again and again.
