Chapter 102: Attack
As the so-called Saiong lost his horse and knew the blessing and misfortune, Yicheng was captured by the rebels, which was a disaster for Huya Pass, just like inserting a knife in the back of Huya Pass, but Yang Fan led the remnants of the Yicheng Army to take refuge, which doubled the strength of Huya Pass.
They were talking in the lobby when they heard shouts outside: "Report-"
With the shout, a wind sergeant ran in from outside in a panic, intervened to give a salute, and said urgently: "Brother Xiu, there are a lot of rebels from outside Dongcheng, it looks like they are going to attack the city!"
Hearing this, everyone sitting in the hall stood up in unison, and Luo Ren asked, "How many rebels are there?"
"At least two or three thousand people!"
Everyone frowned and looked at Shangguan Xiu in unison. The latter did not panic at all, picked up the teacup, and slowly drank the remaining half of the tea, and then he stood up, shook his head and said, "Let's go, let's go up to the city to have a look!"
The people led by Shangguan Xiu walked out of the city captain's mansion and went to the city gate tower in the east city. Go up to the city gate tower and look out, the rebels outside the city have already lined up in a phalanx, standing in neat rows, well-trained, and looking around, the black pressure is pressing, dense, and the momentum is overwhelming.
Since the rebels have already captured Yicheng, the arsenal of Yicheng naturally falls into their hands. The rebels are now dressed exactly like the regular Wind Army.
He has a helmet on top and leather armor, a black wind army uniform inside, and leather boots on his feet. The people carried spears in one hand and shields in the other, and under their ribs hung sabers and crossbow machines, as well as longbows and quivers behind their backs.
Looking at it coldly, this is completely a regular wind army, and even the banners they play are the banners of the wind army, but there are also a large number of 'generation' flags in it.
When Shangguan Xiu and the others were watching carefully, a group of cavalry came out of the rebel ranks, led by one person, wearing a golden helmet and gold armor, a red cloak on his back, and a long knife hanging on the victory hook of the saddle bridge.
This group of knights marched out of the rebel army and came straight to the direction of Huya Pass, and when they were only a hundred steps away from the east gate of Huya Pass, Shangguan Xiu turned his head sideways and said, "Release the arrow!"
One of the wind sergeants twisted his bow and arrows, aimed at the cavalry outside the city, and fired an arrow.
Syllable!
The arrow was not shot at a man, but at the ground. With a crisp sound, the arrow plunged deep into the earth, and the white feathers buzzed and trembled.
The pair of knights who galloped over grabbed the reins of their horses, and several horses stopped in unison a stone's throw away from Huyaguan, roaring and spinning back and forth.
Stabilizing the horse under his crotch, the big man in the golden helmet raised his hand and beckoned in the direction of the city gate tower.
The people on the tower of the city gate naturally understood what the other party meant, Shangguan Xiu squinted his eyes and said, "Prepare the horse!"
"Brother Xiu, I'll go with you!" Luo Ren, Cao Lei, Yuan Mu, and Ding Leng said in unison.
Shangguan Xiu nodded, took the four of them, walked down the city gate, and ordered the soldiers to open the city gate.
Crunch, crunch.
The city gate made of pure copper was opened little by little, and Shangguan Xiu and the five people rode out of the city gate and rode away against the opposite horse.
Soon, the distance between the two sides was only ten steps away, and Shangguan Xiu and the five stopped fighting horses, and while they were looking at each other, the other party was also looking at them.
The golden-armored man at the head laughed, arched his hand on the horse, his eyes fell on Shangguan Xiu's face, and said: "In the next generation of Yu, I don't know if your Excellency is ......"
"Shangguan Xiu. Shangguan Xiu picked up his name with a flat expression. It turned out that this person was the leader of the rebels, and it seemed that he was quite a general.
"It turns out that Your Excellency is Lord Shangguan, look up for a long time!" Dai Yu smiled on his back, and said: "Dai Mou said this is not flattery, Lord Shangguan was shocked in the capture of the flag in Shangjing, although I am far away in Zhenjun, I have also heard of it, Lord Shangguan is worthy of being a young talent of my Zhenren!"
"Mr. Dai has won the award. Shangguan Xiu replied quietly.
"I'm just sorry for Lord Shangguan. Lord Shangguan was a blockbuster in the Capture the Flag Race, and he had the merit of saving the driver, but in the end, he only landed on the edge of the field, the court was rotten, and the new monarch was even more incompetent, what did Lord Shangguan do to protect such a court and such a faint monarch?"
Shangguan Xiu sighed secretly, if Tang Ling is said to be mediocre and incompetent, then I am afraid that there will be no one in the world who is not mediocre and incompetent. It was because Tang Ling was too shrewd and too perceptive of everything that he ended up where he is today. He asked curiously, "What about me?"
Dai Yu's face was straight, he stretched out his hand, and said: "If Brother Shangguan doesn't dislike it, I, Dai Yu, am willing to worship Brother Shangguan as a brother with a different surname, from now on, we will oppose the imperial court, oppose the faint king, establish ourselves as kings in Zhenjun, and reproduce the invincible demeanor of my Zhenren back then!
It can be seen that Dai Yu attaches great importance to Shangguan Xiu, and in order to win him over, he does not hesitate to worship him as a brother.
Luo Ren, Cao Lei, Yuan Mu, and Ding Leng looked at Shangguan Xiu together. They don't have a dislike for the rebels, but a little admiration for them.
Shangguan Xiu secretly smiled bitterly, Dai Yu wanted to establish himself as the king of Zhenjun and break away from the control of the imperial court, which sounded really proud and exciting, but in fact it was completely confused. Not to mention whether he has the ability to do it or not, even if he succeeds in the end, it is tantamount to bringing the people of Zhenjun into the abyss.
For more than 300 years, I don't know how many ministers have advised the Son of Heaven to give up Zhenjun and get rid of this big burden, but the Son of Heaven in all dynasties has respected the ancestral teachings and never abandoned the barren land of Zhenjun, and also allocated a large amount of grain from the treasury every year to support Zhenjun.
Separated from the imperial court, how can they feed the people of Zhenjun by relying only on the grain production of Zhenjun itself? The people of Zhenjun cannot fill their stomachs, so they can only reproduce the scene of more than 300 years ago; in order to survive, they will fight and plunder everywhere, and the wars will continue for years and years, endlessly, and the people of Zhenjun do not know how much blood and sweat they have to shed and how many lives they will have to sacrifice in order to eat a mouthful of food.
Is this really good for Jeong-gun?
Shangguan Xiu suddenly looked up and laughed, stunned by his laughter at Luo Ren and the others around him, and also made Dai Yu and the others on the opposite side look at him inexplicably.
He laughed for a long time, took his spear from the Victory Hook, and said, "You only know that I am from Zhenjun, but do you know who my ancestors are?"
Dai Yu looked puzzled and asked, "Brother Shangguan's ancestor is ......?"
"Wuwei Hou, Shangguan Yuanwu!" Shangguan Xiu waved the spear in his hand with one hand, pointed to Dai Yu on the opposite side, and said: "If you want me to bow down with you and rebel against the imperial court, you can, but you also have to show me your strength, better than this gun in my hand, I Shangguan Xiu will recognize you as a big brother, if you can't win, Mr. Dai, I want you to go back wherever you came from, don't come to my Huya Guan again!"
"Brother Shangguan wants to fight me?"
"Don't you dare, Mr. Dai?"
Dai Yu laughed, and was just about to take off his long knife, when a black-clothed man beside him said: "Use a knife to kill chickens, Dai Wang, I am willing to fight with him!"
Glancing at the man in black, Dai Yu nodded secretly, he looked at Shangguan Xiu on the opposite side again, and asked, "Brother Shangguan, how about my subordinate fighting on my behalf?"
"Just let the horse come!" Shangguan Xiu's mouth was raised, and he stroked the silver hair hanging down on his chest, as if he didn't care who the person on the other side was fighting.
Don't look at Shangguan Xiu's age, but the calmness and calmness he showed on the battlefield is heartbreaking. Dai Yu looked at it, and nodded again and again in his heart, his command lacked a general like Shangguan Xiu who could take charge alone, if he could be included in his command, then he would undoubtedly be like a tiger.
He tilted his head slightly, and whispered to the black-clothed man beside him: "Absolutely, this battle must be won!"
The black-clothed man smiled, didn't say a word, and urged the horse to walk over to Shangguan Xiu.
Luo Ren said: "Brother Xiu, I'll fight him!" As he spoke, he was about to face the other party, Shangguan Xiu reached out and grabbed his arm, and said in a deep voice: "I'm coming!"
Through the strong air flow emanating from the other party's body, Shangguan Xiu could judge that this person's cultivation was not weak and should not be underestimated.
Seeing his solemn face, Luo Ren and the others didn't dare to say more. Shangguan Xiu urged the horse to meet the black-clothed man, and soon, the heads of the two war horses were about to come into contact with each other, Shangguan Xiu and the black-clothed man both stopped fighting horses, and the latter arched his hand and said: "In Xia Xiao!"
Shangguan Xiu raised the spear in his hand, arched his hand as well, and said, "Shangguan Xiu!"
The corners of the black-clothed man's mouth raised, and he suddenly shouted: "Drive!" He knocked the stirrups with both feet, and rushed forward with the man and the horse, and at the same time, the saber under his rib was unsheathed, and the knife went straight to Shangguan Xiu's chest and abdomen.
Shangguan Xiu put the spear in his hand and forcibly connected the opponent's quick knife. When the saber slashed at the barrel of the gun, the sparks burst into a ball. At this time, the two horses were staggered, and Shangguan Xiu picked up a gun and stabbed a shot at the opponent's ribs.
Xiao Jue's figure rose into the air on the horse, and when he fell, he slashed at the top of Shangguan Xiu's head with a knife. The latter parried with a horizontal gun.
A loud bang was heard in the ear chakra, and another ball of sparks burst out between the knives and guns, and by the force of the backshock, Xiao Jue's originally falling figure bounced into the air again. Shangguan Xiu secretly said a good opportunity, the spirit armor and the spirit of the soldier were completed at the same time, and then he swung a shot at Xiao Jue in the air, casting a spirit chaos wind, and the wind blades that were together roared out, and after a while, with a snort, the wind blades scattered, flying all over the sky, and swept towards Xiao Jue.
Xiao Jue was in the air, there was no way to borrow strength, and naturally he couldn't dodge, just when people thought that he was going to be injured by Shangguan Xiu's spiritual chaos, Xiao Jue's body in mid-air suddenly emitted a black mist, and then looked at the air, where was his figure?
A big living person disappeared out of thin air.
Luo Ren and the others, who were watching the battle behind, had their faces changed drastically, and they shouted in unison: "Secret Soul Cultivator! Brother Xiu, be careful-"
