Chapter 220: Guns and Swords
After Li Yan successively sent many people to fight everywhere, the riots in Mijing City had gradually subsided at this time, and the fires everywhere had been controlled, but Li Yan was still anxious in his heart, and he didn't know how far the situation had developed on the castle tower at the east gate.
The area around the east gate of Mijing City has been quiet for many years, and he didn't expect that there would suddenly be a strong enemy invasion from the far east, Li Yan rushed to the east gate with his men and horses, and at the same time worriedly thought about how to deal with it.
According to the report of his subordinates just now, Li Shuo, the commander of the city defenders, has fallen into the hands of Shi Ziling, Li Yan speculated that Shi Ziling took Li Shuo as a hostage must have been used to ensure the unimpeded passage of the east gate, it seems that the eastern brigade of military horses has not yet arrived, and it may be too late for him to rush over now.
In Li Yan's mind, as long as he could keep the eastern brigade of military horses out of the city, he expected that no matter how strong Shi Ziling's personal strength was, he would not be able to do much after all.
In order to ensure his own safety, in addition to mobilizing the five thousand elite soldiers stationed near the city guard mansion, Li Yan also brought all the masters of the Tongtian Sect who remained in the palace with him, plus Li Yan himself was also the third master in the Tongtian Sect after Li Yuan and Li Zhun, so it was still okay to protect himself.
They hurried to the main city, and suddenly saw a troop of cavalry galloping in front of them. Li Yan looked from afar, and saw that the cavalry was about two hundred people, and the speed was extremely fast, but the formation was extremely neat, and it seemed to be a cavalry team under the banner of the defenders of Dongcheng City from the banner clothing.
This group of cavalry came to Li Yan's team, and was stopped by Li Yan's soldiers, Li Yan waved his hand slightly, and Meng De, the guard guard next to him, just slapped his horse and asked, "Whose subordinates are you?"
Two of the cavalrymen who came stepped forward, and one of them greeted, "Is it Lord Meng?" I am Guo Tiexiong, the deputy commander of the city garrison, and I ...... I have something to do to go to the city guard palace to report to Lord Li. ”
Meng Degang saw that the person was indeed Guo Tiexiong, the deputy commander of the city guard, and said with a smile: "It turned out to be Guo Dutong, now there is chaos in the city, and it is rumored that an enemy has infiltrated the city, and the city guard has ordered you to be careful." Did you come from the east gate, and what's going on there?"
Guo Tiexiong looked back and said, "The situation in Dongcheng is not very good....... alas, I better hurry up and go to the city guard mansion to tell Lord Li, let's talk slowly in the future......"
Meng Degang said: "Master Li is behind, we are about to take people to the east gate to ask for help, you come with me." ”
Guo Tiexiong was stunned and said, "Why did Master Li come here in person?"
Meng Degang turned the horse's head and said: "What can be done, many places in the main city have been set on fire by gangsters, I heard that it was the Shiziling in the east who led people to sneak into the city, and the city guard had no choice but to rush to the east gate to check in person." You just came from the east gate, have you seen the stone tomb?"
Guo Tiexiong couldn't help but look back again, although the two hundred special attack cavalry behind him were blocked by the men and horses of the city defender camp, Shi Ziling followed Guo Tiexiong step by step.
Although Guo Tiexiong moved freely, he suffered from the fact that part of his bloodline was sealed by the Three Yin True Fire of Shiziling, and the True Yuan could not operate smoothly. He understood that as long as he made a slight move, with Shi Ziling's skills, he could immediately take his own life, so he had to sigh and lower his head and walk side by side with Meng Degang.
Meng Degang felt a little strange, Guo Tiexiong is usually a very eloquent person, and when he encountered such a big thing, he should have been excited to talk non-stop, but why did he look a little listless, as if he was preoccupied, could it be that something really happened to the East Gate?
Seeing Guo Tiexiong looking back from time to time, Meng Degang followed his eyes and looked back, and saw Shi Ziling riding a horse and following Guo Tiexiong, wearing the robe of an ordinary general, so he asked Guo Tiexiong: "Who is this?
Guo Tiexiong was taken aback, thinking that Meng Degang had just seen the flaw, and said hesitantly: "He...... He's ......"
Shi Ziling had already seen from the clothes that Meng Degang was the garrison of the city, and immediately arched his hand and said: "Back to the garrison, the humble position is a newly promoted general under Li Dutong, because Lord Dutong is now captured by Shi Ziling, the situation is urgent, in order to rescue Lord Dutong as soon as possible, the last general followed Vice Du Guo to unify and report the details to Lord City Guard." ”
Meng Degang said anxiously: "What is going on on the tower of the East Gate now? I heard that there is only one person in Shi Ziling, how can he be mixed up on the tower of the city? He also caught Li Dutong, so many soldiers and generals up and down the tower are all rice buckets?"
Shi Ziling immediately stepped forward to Meng Degang's side, leaned closer and whispered: "Shi Ziling led people to do all the checkpoints within a hundred miles outside the city, so he can sneak into the east gate calmly, as for the defenders on the city tower, it is indeed a rice bucket, hehe......"
Meng Degang was stunned for a moment, and was about to continue asking, when Li Yan had already led a group of subordinates to greet him. As soon as he saw Guo Tiexiong, Li Yan was about to step forward to ask for details, when a lieutenant behind him suddenly pointed to Shi Ziling and said: "Shi Ziling! That person is Shi Ziling! He is the ....... who arrested Lord Dutong."
This lieutenant general took the opportunity to slip down during the chaos in the East Gate Tower before, and it was he who led people to take the lead in reporting to Li Yan about the situation at the East Gate. He had seen Shi Ziling break into the city tower all the way up and kill Ji Yinyue, the master of the Tianhu Hall, with one punch, he was extremely impressed by Shi Ziling, and at this moment, he rushed to the east gate with Li Yan's men and horses to ask for help, and suddenly saw Shi Ziling beside Guo Tiexiong, and immediately exclaimed loudly.
Li Yan was shocked, and hurriedly tightened the reins and stopped, several generals and Tongtian Sect masters around him were also shocked, and everyone looked at Shiziling together.
The most surprising thing was the garrison Meng Degang, he was a little strange when he saw Shi Ziling at first, but because it was Guo Tiexiong who brought the person, he didn't think much about it, and at this moment he suddenly heard someone identify the general next to him as the famous master Shi Ziling, this surprise was not trivial, and he hurriedly reached out to grab the Xuanhua axe hanging on the saddle.
Shi Ziling saw that Li Yan and the others had come to the front, and he was ready to launch a surprise attack when they stepped forward a little more, but he was recognized by Xingzang.
He had long seen that the strength of several masters of the Tongtian Sect around Li Yan was not weak, and Li Yan's own strength was also above Li Xiaoyao, if he couldn't succeed in one blow, he would definitely be waiting for an opportunity to escape, and it would be very troublesome to break through the encirclement of so many people and arrest Li Yan again.
Under the instant decision, Shi Ziling clamped the black steed under his crotch hard, and suddenly rushed forward. Guo Tiexiong beside him sat on the horse in a daze, not knowing what to do, and Meng De had just put the Xuanhua axe in his hand, and Shi Ziling had already rushed out of the horse with people and horses.
Several generals around Li Yan hurriedly waved the blades in their hands to pat their horses to meet them, and Li Yan himself hurriedly bent down and grabbed the glaive knife hanging under the saddle in his hand.
Shi Ziling slapped his horse forward, and while riding his horse forward, he also took the Zhangba spear hanging under the saddle in his hand. Due to the close proximity of the two sides, it was only a blink of an eye, and Shi Ziling had already started a head-to-head confrontation with his opponent.
The Zhangba spear in Shi Ziling's hand poked out, and under his abundant and incomparable True Yuan infusion, the tip of the spear suddenly burst into light, and countless spear shadows appeared, covering the three generals who came forward layer by layer.
These three generals couldn't see the way of Shi Ziling's guns for a while, only to feel that countless spear tips were attacking the key points around them with the murderous aura of Senhan, and in horror, they each brandished the weapons in their hands and parried desperately, trying to block the terrifying gun shadow in front of them.
It's a pity that these countless Senhan spear shadows are all transformed by Shiziling's incomparable True Yuan, and they have reached their chests long before the blade defense circle in the hands of these three people is established, and after three soft sounds, blood flowers appeared on the chests of these three generals, and they fell down from their horses one after another.
Shi Ziling didn't stop after picking these three generals off his horse, and rushed straight towards Li Yan.
Li Yan, as the third master in the Tongtian Sect, his strength is still above Li Xiaoyao, and his vision is first-class, he has already seen at a glance that what Shi Ziling picked down these three generals was not the tip of the spear in his hand, but the powerful True Yuan that was forced outside the tip of the spear, which was undoubtedly the so-called "True Yuan Blade".
It's just that in the charge of the horse battle, the "True Yuan Spear" can be used with such a powerful hand, which shows how appalling the martial arts of Shi Ziling's True Yuan cultivation have been, Li Yan already knew that he was far from his enemy, and he immediately turned his horse's head and fled in shock.
The five Tongtian Sect masters beside Li Yan were not as old as Li Yan, although they could see that Shiziling was amazingly powerful, but they still came forward to stop Shiziling by relying on the strength of the crowd. These five people originally followed behind Li Yan, and after giving up Li Yan's horse's head, they all came up together, wanting to block Shi Ziling's way.
Shi Ziling shot the three generals and killed them, seeing that Li Yan had already turned around and fled, he was even more anxious, knowing that once he distanced himself, it would be very difficult to catch him again under the siege of so many military horses.
Seeing that the five Tongtian Sect masters in front of him each waved their blades to meet him, Shi Ziling didn't want to be blocked by them, and with a lift of his left hand, the Xuanyuan Divine Sword on his back made a strange sound of "ding", and jumped into his hand like a spirit.
Shi Ziling took the sword in his hand and swept out with a sword in his hand, and the Xuanyuan Divine Sword emitted a long seven-colored light flashed, and in the dazzling brilliance, all the officers and soldiers present were in front of them, and they seemed to be lost in the brilliant brilliance of the Xuanyuan Divine Sword.
By the time the brilliance dissipated, the five Tongtian Sect masters who had blocked Shi Ziling had even been cut into two pieces with their horses and blades, and they all fell to the ground, and Shi Ziling had already rushed over on horseback.
