Chapter 85: Temperament

||->->

Shangguan Xiu's movements were clean and beautiful, and they were done in one go, attracting bursts of cheers from the wind army. It's just that the cheers of the people haven't dissipated yet, and Wang Dao has already roared angrily at Shangguan Xiu: "Shangguan Xiu, are you crazy? Don't you understand the rules of the two armies fighting and not killing the envoys?"

Looking deeply at the angry Wang Dao, Shangguan Xiu laughed, looked around at everyone present, pointed to the corpses outside the city, and said word by word: "In my eyes, he is not a messenger, but an enemy army that can scare away thousands of defenders in the city with one soldier and one horse!"

Hearing this, many Feng Jun lowered their heads with red faces.

"You ......" Wang Dao raised his hand and pointed angrily at Shangguan Xiu's nose, and was about to scold, but the latter's brilliant eyes looked straight at him, and the sharp eyes shot from the eagle's eyes seemed to turn into two knives and plunge into his heart.

Wang Wei involuntarily took a step back.

Seeing this, the seven battalion lieutenants led by Li Que drew their sabers together, glared at Shangguan Xiu angrily one by one, and scolded sharply: "Boldly Shangguan Xiu, the two armies dare to openly disobey military orders in front of the formation, and they should be punished!"

Before they finished speaking, Luo Ren, Zhan Xiong and others, who were standing behind Shangguan Xiu, also drew out their sabers and swords, and looked at Li Que and the others opposite with murderous anger.

For a while, the sword light and sword shadow on the city of Huya Pass, and the murderous aura spread, but their murderous aura was not directed at the enemies approaching step by step outside the city, but at their own people.

Shangguan Xiu took two deep breaths, and pressed the fire qi that had already rushed to the top of his head again and again, if it weren't for the current enemy, it was really not suitable for fighting in the nest, he really wanted to slash Wang Dao with a knife at this time.

He held the handle of the knife tightly, walked to the other side of the city, looked at the wind army in the city, and said in a loud voice: "The ancestors of the wind army have always only had heroic martyrs who fought bravely to kill the enemy, and there have never been cowards who escaped from the battle. You can choose to abandon the city and flee with the king without dignity, or you can stick to the city with me, and if you have brothers who are willing to stay, you can climb to the top of the city now and fight side by side with me!"

His words were categorical, but the scene was silent.

Wang Dao looked at the Feng Jun who looked at each other and said nothing, he laughed out loud and said: "Shangguan Xiu, if you want to stay in the city and wait for death, then let it be, this official will not accompany you!" After speaking, he waved his hand and shouted: "Let's go!"

He strode towards the city wall, and Li Que and the others also sneered at Shangguan Xiu and followed Wang Dao.

The Feng Jun standing at the head of the city looked at Shangguan Xiu, and then looked at Wang Dao, who had already gone down the city wall, drooped his head one by one, and walked silently to the city.

Looking at these wind troops who were walking down the city one after another, with no fighting spirit at all, Shangguan Xiu clenched his fists, slammed the arrows and chopped them fiercely, and said quietly: "What is the difference between a soldier who has lost his honor and dignity and a walking corpse? Could it be that this little tiger tooth pass not only smoothed out your sharp spirit, but also devoured your bones as a human being?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard someone not far away suddenly shouting: "My lord, the villain's spirit is still there, and the spirit is still there! The villain is willing to fight the enemy to the death with the adult!"

The one who spoke was the unruly chief just now. He strode up to Shangguan Xiu and intervened to give a salute.

As soon as he expressed his position, several Feng sergeants standing behind him followed Shi Li in unison, and said in unison: "The villain is willing to follow the adults and fight the enemy to the death!"

"The villain is willing to follow the adults and fight to the death against the enemyโ€”"

An earth-shattering roar erupted from the crowd of wind troops below the city wall, and then, the black-pressed wind army surged up the steps one by one, knocking those wind troops who were going down to the ground.

Seeing that many of these comrades rushed to the city, choosing to stay and fight to the death, those wind troops who went down also began to turn their heads and ran back to the city with the crowd.

"My lord, the villain is willing to fight to the death with the thief! We are by no means greedy for life and afraid of death, just because no one is willing to lead us to fight the enemy in a bloody battle, as long as the adult is still in the city today, we will never retreat half a step!"

"Never take a step backโ€”"

The wind army in the city said in unison.

Wang Dao, who was walking forward, heard a burst of shouts and cheers from behind, he subconsciously stopped, turned his head and saw that in addition to Li Que and other battalion captains behind him, there were less than 200 soldiers left, on the other hand, the city was full of dense wind troops.

Shangguan Xiu walked to the edge of the city wall, he stepped on the arrow with one foot, and with a knife in the other, he looked down at Wang Dao and the others condescendingly, and his eyes were full of contempt.

Looking at the wind army at the head of the city, they all stood behind Shangguan Xiu, and their eyes looking down were also full of disdain.

In the past, they were afraid of Wang Dao's obscenity, and they dared to be angry with him but did not dare to speak, but now Shangguan Xiu stepped forward, as if they had found the backbone of the main heart.

Wang Dao looked at it, his heart was shocked, at this moment he finally realized that his position in Huya Pass had been shaken, and most of the more than 1,000 soldiers in the city had defected to Shangguan Xiu's side.

"Come down!" Wang Dao clenched his fists fiercely and shouted at the Feng Jun in the limelight: "This official orders you all to come down!

"Lord Wang, put away your set! If you are willing to stay and fight to the death with the enemy today, you are still the city captain of Huya Pass, or Lord Wang, if you flee without a fight today, I am afraid that there will be no place for Lord Wang in this Huya Pass in the future!" Shangguan Xiu smiled at the corner of his mouth and said unhurriedly.

When Wang Dao heard this, he hated it so much that the roots of his teeth itched, he raised his hand and pointed at Shangguan Xiu angrily, gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, this official will stay in the city and watch how you die in the end!" After speaking, he waved his hand and shouted: "You wait to return to the house with this official!"

Looking at the back of Wang Dao leaving angrily, Shangguan Xiu slowly narrowed his eagle eyes, but it couldn't hide the light from his eyes. With Wang Dao, the black sheep of the herd, in Huya Pass, not only is it rare to have peace in Huya Pass, but it will also become his biggest stumbling block.

At this time, Shangguan Xiu had already had the idea of getting rid of Wang Dao in his heart.

Let's talk about Wang Dao, he returned to the city captain's mansion with a battalion lieutenant and more than a hundred soldiers, and when he entered the lobby, he sat on a chair with his butt and was so angry that his chest fell together. He turned his eyes to Li Que and asked, "Li Que, do you think Shangguan Xiu can stop the fans outside the city?"

Li Que shook his head and said: "There are thousands of soldiers outside, but there are less than a thousand people guarding the city with Shangguan Xiu, and the difference in strength is huge, so it is really difficult to win." โ€

"Then what if he really blocks Fanzi?" Wang Wei rubbed his chin and muttered: "If he really blocks Fanzi, and I abandon the city and flee, wouldn't that be tantamount to giving away people's hearts?"

"What do you mean?"

Wang Dao rolled his eyes and said, "I will quietly go out of the city with a group of cronies, and by the way, I will transport the gold, silver and jewelry from my mansion." Li Que, you personally go to the Sifang Tavern. โ€

"My lord, the Quartet Tavern is opened by Fanzi!"

"I know, that's why I want you to go on a trip in person!" Wang Dao's eyes flashed with a thief's light, and he said in a low voice: "When you arrived at the Sifang Tavern, when you saw the person in charge, you said that the official had the intention of abandoning the city and surrendering, all because Shangguan Xiuning refused to obey and bewitched the army's heart. You tell him where Shangguan Xiu lives, and by the way, tell him that Shangguan Xiu's two women are there, and as long as they can capture those two women, Shangguan Xiu will be slaughtered with them!"

Li Que showed a look of sudden realization, raised his thumb, and praised: "Gao! My lord's plan to kill people with a knife is very clever!"

"Hmph!" the corners of Wang Dao's mouth raised, he sneered, and said sideways: "Li Gen, Zhang Qiang, Ye Hai!"

"Subordinates are here!" the three battalion lieutenants stepped forward in unison and stepped in to salute.

Wang Wei said slowly: "You and Li Que led a hundred brothers, hiding in the city, if the Fan people sneak attack Shangguan Xiu's lair successfully, you can stand still, if you fail to succeed, when they fight to the defeat of both sides, you can take the opportunity to kill, you can catch the live mouth, catch the live mouth, if you can't catch the live mouth, you will kill them all!"

"Yes, sir!"

Knock, knock, knock โ€“

Huya Gate. The drums of the Fan soldiers camp became more and more urgent, and the Fan soldiers phalanx that had advanced over were getting closer and closer to Huya Pass.

Zhan Xiong looked at the crowd of soldiers in the phalanx, he frowned, just looking at the other party's formation, he could judge that these soldiers were by no means a rabble, he walked to Shangguan Xiu's side, and said in a low voice: "Brother Xiu, the caravan of the Ba tribe was obviously robbed by Wang Dao's dog official, why does this black cauldron ask us to help him carry it? Why didn't Brother Xiu hand him over to the Ba people?"

Shangguan Xiu looked out of the city, and said with a deep gaze: "Let's not say that we lack evidence in our hands, even if the evidence is conclusive, we can't hand over Wang Dao to Fanren!"

Zhan Xiong looked at him puzzled and asked, "Brother Xiu, why is this?"

Shangguan Xiu said quietly: "Wang Dao is a wind man, naturally he has the law of the wind country to rule him, if the law can't rule him, there will also be a wind man to come forward, and it is not Fanzi's turn to intervene and force the palace to be a dignitary!"

I see! Zhan Xiong nodded secretly, admiring in his heart, in Shangguan Xiu, he could find the integrity that was thrown away by many wind people, the kind of temperament that the Heavenly Empire cannot be bullied! He said with a straight face: "My subordinates understand. โ€

He turned his head to the wind army on the city wall and shouted, "The enemy is near, ready to release arrows!"

Without his command, these wind soldiers on the city wall were all veterans, experienced and experienced, and they had already taken off the longbow they were carrying, and drew arrows from the quiver and put them on the bow.

Shangguan Xiu stared at the soldiers who were approaching step by step, and shouted sideways: "Pass the order, wait for the enemy to take nearly a hundred steps before releasing the arrow!"

"The battalion captain has an order, and the enemy will shoot arrows at nearly 100 paces!" "The battalion captain has an order, wait for the enemy to take nearly 100 steps......"

Shangguan Xiu's orders were conveyed to all the Feng troops one by one by the soldiers.
