Chapter 5 First Entry into the War
Zuo Shengjie led his army of 40,000 and began to advance towards Tiantai City. He is a direct member of the big family of the Middle Heaven Kingdom, the Zuo clan, and he is very talented, and he entered the fourth condensation realm of the human realm at the age of twenty-five, so the family decided to let him go to the army to experience it, accumulate some military exploits, and then use his family's connections to help him enter the upper echelons of the army in a few years, so as to increase his family's influence in the army. Thinking of his bright future, Zuo Shengjie was excited in his heart, and he couldn't wait to defeat the Tang Army immediately, capture Tiantai City, and go back to be his own general. So he whipped the war horse under him a few times with his whip, and the war horse was in pain and ran quickly, and the soldiers next to him saw that the commander had quickened his speed, and he did not dare to complain, so he had to run harder. However, in an hour, Zuo Shengjie and his army arrived at the foot of Tiantai City, and he was not a reckless man, so he ordered the archers to cover the rushing car and advance forward, and the soldiers rushed to the city tower with a ladder under the cover of the rushing car. Ye Chen stood on the city tower, followed by Ye Feiyu, not caring at all about the dense rain of arrows in the sky. On either side of them stood soldiers with their shields held high in their hands, some with their bows drawn, waiting for Nightdust's orders. Yechen's expression was calm, his eyes looked down motionlessly, the bow and arrows in the sky fell, and some screams kept coming from the distance, obviously the person who was unfortunately shot by the rain of arrows. But when Yechen waited for the arrow to fall, the Xingchen Sword in Yechen's hand waved repeatedly, and hundreds of arrows were cut from the middle one after another, but none of the arrows fell. Yechen did not immediately order the arrows to shoot back, but waited for the soldiers of the Zhongtian Kingdom to reach the city tower, and then waved his hand, and the soldiers who had been suppressed for a long time shot the arrows in their hands together, because they were almost vertically shot, the power of the arrows was very great, and it was not easy to defend, and for a while, a large amount of blood was splashed below, and the screams were loud, and a battle began. Ye Feiyu was not idle standing beside his father, holding a big bow in his hand, shooting downward from time to time, almost without missing an arrow. The speed of the shot gradually increased, from the first time he shot someone, his hands kept shaking, to now he can control himself well, and even Ye Chen nodded straight at it.
Zuo Shengjie was angry. Looking at the decreasing number of his soldiers in front of him, but the castle tower could not be captured for a long time, he felt that everything was different from what he had imagined. Worried that his dream of becoming a general would be ruined if he continued like this, he couldn't sit still anymore and rushed up with his big stick. He was conceited, with the strength of his Condensation Realm, no one here could hurt him. He danced his club into the air, and none of the arrows shot from above could hit him. In this way, he stood up in front of him and finally climbed up the ladder. After coming up, I saw him sweep away the Tang soldiers around him with a big stick, and one person opened up a field to cover the soldiers below. Just as he was about to kill, he suddenly felt an extreme danger, and subconsciously put the stick across his chest, and in the next second, a sword stabbed into the stick. Zuo Shengjie was almost pushed down the city by the huge momentum, spitting out a mouthful of blood, obviously suffering internal injuries. He looked at the man with the sword in front of him, and with a fierce glint in his eyes, he rushed forward with his stick. Yechen looked at him expressionlessly, the Star Sword in his hand emitted a little starlight, his feet kicked the ground, the rocks under his feet cracked, and his figure shot out like lightning. Zuo Shengjie shouted in his heart, looking at this person's coming, it was obviously not something he could resist, but the matter had come to this point, and he couldn't stop it, so he had to run the exercises frantically, and injected a spiritual power into the iron rod. Finally, the two collided, and with a "ding" sound, the weapon made of fine iron was split in two by the Xingchen Sword from the middle, and Zuo Shengjie's body was also divided into two. Zuo Shengjie showed an incredible look in his eyes, he knew that he was not this person's opponent, but he never expected that the other party would kill him with only one move, his mouth was closed one by one, but he couldn't make any sound, and he fell down unwillingly.
Yechen knew that the man was the commander of the enemy army, and after killing him, he did not return, but directly cut off the ladder with a sword, and then jumped directly, jumping directly from the city tower more than ten meters high. After arriving at the Yuan Realm, the cultivator can initially use the spiritual power between heaven and earth, and can even reluctantly use the control of the spiritual energy around him to make himself stay in the air for a short time, so more than ten meters is not very high for Ye Chen. After the night dust fell, the nearby soldiers of the Zhongtian Kingdom surrounded him without saying a word, and for a while, there were hundreds of people around Ye Chen. Yechen is not panicked, he has seen a lot of enemies more than this, the wind under his feet, constantly moving in a very small range, dodging all kinds of weapons around, and at the same time, the star sword is like a shadow, every time he sweeps out, blood will fly, although in the face of hundreds of people, but the momentum is even better. Seeing that their commander had already fought a bloody way outside, the soldiers above no longer hesitated, and hurriedly rushed down the city tower, opened the city gate and killed it. Although there are many people in the Middle Heaven Kingdom, there is no one to command, so they can only fight on their own. After a while, he was defeated and retreated, abandoned his armor and fled. In this way, the war of the Zhongtian Kingdom against the Tang Kingdom ended in complete defeat.
After the war, the soldiers of the Tang Kingdom all stared at the night dust with fiery eyes. In the battle just now, whether in terms of decision-making or personal strength, Yechen was deeply impressed by them, the figure of killing the leader of the enemy army with a sword, the figure of swimming easily in the army of thousands of troops, had been deeply engraved in their minds. I don't know who shouted first, "Long live the Night General!" Everyone boiled and shouted in unison, "Long live the Night General!" Ye Feiyu was also pulled by this momentum, as the soldiers shouted "Long live the Night General!" Ye Chen heard his son's voice, laughed, and lifted him to his shoulder, the soldiers were also very impressed by this Xiao Ye General, and his archery skills in the battle just now also surprised many people, and the secret way was really a tiger father without a dog. At that moment, they also shouted in unison, "The little general of the night is mighty!" Ye Feiyu was embarrassed by their shouting, jumped off his father's shoulder, and ran away with a smoke. Yechen waved his hand to signal everyone to stop, and then said loudly, "In this battle, the brothers are very brave and drove those villains from the Zhongtian Kingdom out of our Tang Dynasty. I will go to Beijing in a few days to meet the emperor, and I will definitely invite you to take credit and let the emperor reward you. Now let's clean up the battlefield first, this is also a fortune, so you don't have to hand it over, everyone can keep it for themselves. Everyone hurriedly said, "General Xie." "They quickly dispersed to clean up the battlefield.
In the early morning of this day, as soon as the gate of Tiantai City was opened, four war horses walked out of the city, "General, then Yu Shi and I will go back to Zhennan City first, you and the young master are careful on the road." The person who spoke was the captain that Yechen met when he entered the city, Zeng Yuanliang, and the person next to him was also Yechen's old subordinate, and after the battle of Tiantai City, he asked Yechen to take them back to Zhennan City, hoping to be a soldier under Yechen. Yechen is also reluctant to let these people take you from birth to death with you, so she agreed. But he still had to go to the capital Chang'an first, so he asked the two to return to Zhennancheng with their own handwritten letters. "Well, you too. Be careful on the way, and when you get to Zhennan City, read the letter to my lieutenant Lu Ang, and he will arrange for you. Then Yu'er and I left first. After saying that, he hugged the two of them and left with Ye Feiyu. "Father, what are we going to Chang'an for?" After rushing for a while, Ye Feiyu was a little bored, so he drove forward and asked. "One is to report the results of this battle, and the other is that I have something to discuss with your uncle, and you haven't seen your uncle since the family moved, so I will take you to Chang'an to meet him this time. "The uncle in Yechen's mouth is today's saint - Li Jinghao. Yechen grew up with him since he was a child, so the relationship between the two is very deep, and they are commensurate with brothers, Li Jinghao is three years older than Yechen, so he is Yefeiyu's uncle. Yechen said again, "Your uncle has two daughters, one is two years older than you, and the other is the same age as you, you can play with them when you go." But they all grew up in the palace, they may be a little petty, and they are all girls, so you must let them, don't embarrass me and your uncle. Ye Feiyu sighed, and then asked, "Father, I heard some people in the clan say that this Tang Kingdom was originally our Ye family. What's going on?" Ye Chen listened to his words, and paused before he said, "There was indeed a Tang Kingdom in the past, but our Ye family was not talented, and it has already caused the Tang Kingdom to perish, and the current Tang Dynasty has nothing to do with our Ye family." Besides, do you think your father looks like an emperor?" Ye Feiyu looked at his father carefully, and the eldest smiled for a long time, "It's really not like it, my father was born to be a general." Yechen said lightly, "Yes, our Ye family was born to lead soldiers to fight." So if you say those people in the clan, you're going to be farting. Okay, let's speed up and try to get to Pingdu City before dark, or we'll have to feed the mosquitoes. Ye Feiyu nodded, and the father and son stopped talking, urging the horse to whip up and gallop forward at a faster speed.
