Chapter 222 Crisis
"Get out of the way of Lao Tzu!" Seeing that there were soldiers holding shields to block them, the people behind kept falling. Li Siguang was furious, the flaming knife in his hand burst out of raging flames, and the people turned like a spinning top, dancing like a circle of fire to repel several heavy shield soldiers in front of them in one fell swoop, breaking through their defensive formation, and the city gate was in front of them.
"Open the door and escort the prime minister and the general out of the city first!" Li Siguang turned his head and shouted to the Red Army soldiers, and the long knife in his hand knocked the two heavy shield soldiers who were blocking to the ground.
"Earth Decision, Earth Wall Technique!"
With a low roar, the ground trembled, and a thick wall of earth rose from the ground, just in front of Li Siguang. Li Siguang was about to rush to the city gate with a big knife first, but he didn't expect that an earthen wall appeared in the flat ground, and his head hit it with a bang.
Involuntarily took two steps back, several Red Army soldiers supported Li Siguang, shook their heads vigorously, and the disgraced Li Siguang rubbed his head indiscriminately, "Fuck, what the hell!"
At the same time as Siguang retreated, several soldiers surrounded him, stood in front of the earthen wall and erected a large shield, and the shield and shield were connected to form an encirclement. Although Lihuo doesn't know much about magic, but when he sees the thick earthen wall rising from the ground, he also knows that it is done by a highly accomplished magician, and if there is a strong enemy to help, he must not be reckless, Lihuo shouted, "Siguang withdraw first!"
Li Siguang cautiously retreated step by step with a big knife, and the Red Army soldiers behind him picked up their wounded companions and also retreated, leaving several corpses on the ground, but none of them were heavy shield soldiers. From Siguang to take the lead with the Red Army and the heavy shield soldiers for the first time, it is clear who is strong and who is weak.
"What's going on?" Tianci carefully searched for the person who made the shot, and the two brothers of the ghost hand remnant also became cautious. In the face of a magician who uses high-level magic, the powerful attack power is indeed terrifying. If you cast a range of magic near the carriage, then the prime minister's life is difficult to protect, the first thing is to find the position of the mage who is weak and not good at progressing, and strike first.
The Red Army soldiers escorted the general and the prime minister tightly together, and everyone knew that this time it would be a battle to the death.
However, the magician didn't seem to have any intention of hiding his position and waiting for an opportunity to attack. The shield opened a gap and slowly stepped out of it. Dressed in black and masked, with a calm gaze and standing with his hands in his hands, it was Zhong Yan, the instructor of the Heavy Shield Barracks of Jiuyao City.
"Hmph! It's you, it's you who saved Xiao Yun, it's really hidden, I didn't expect to be a high-level magician!" Li Siguang saw that it was Zhong Yan, of course, he knew that this earthen wall and Xiao Yun's pillar of earth and stone were all from him.
Zhong Yan looked at Li Siguang lightly, and glanced at the corpse left on the ground, there seemed to be a smile in his eyes, but he didn't speak.
There was another hurried sound of horses' hooves, and I saw another large group of cavalry coming from the heavy shield soldiers, with short knives at their waists and long bows, rushing away the group of East Gate defenders who didn't know what to do, and stopped behind the heavy shield soldiers.
The Jiuyao City army listened to the order, captured the pretending prime minister and the general, and killed the rest of them! If there is any disobedience, military law will be imposed on the spot!"
As soon as I heard the voice of the city lord Liu Zhang, the defenders of the East Gate, who didn't know what was going on, came to their senses. It turned out that the prime minister, the general and the Red Army soldiers were all pretending, after all, since Liu Zhang became the city lord, he was also dedicated to the people, and he didn't have any doubts at the moment, so he took out the weapon in his hand.
The heavy shield soldiers held the big shield in front, and behind them were the archers who dismounted, standing in several phalanxes and already taking their bows and arrows, and the city gate guards who were still stunned spontaneously protected the archers. The encirclement was tightened considerably, besieging the Red Legion under the city walls. The wide streets seemed to be cleared of pedestrians, and the city gates were densely packed with soldiers, black and red were unusually distinct.
City Lord Liu Zhang and Xiao Yun walked out of the shield array on the other side of the street, and looked at Lihuo with a smile, "What, do you still want to resist! Don't worry, I won't kill you!"
Yan Zhi, who was in the carriage, saw that it was Xiao Yun, and suddenly couldn't stand his temperament, his chubby body came out of the carriage, and he stood at the front of the carriage and pointed at Xiao Yun is scolding, "You wolf-hearted thing, in vain I attach so much importance to it, I strongly recommend you to be the commander of the Imperial City Patrol, and I want to marry your daughter to you, you are actually doing these hurtful things!"
"The commander of the city patrol team, who can also be called the commander of the street to bombard the small merchants and hawkers? And your daughter, who wants to marry her, who wants to marry? Thank you so much, Xiao Yun, I can't bear it, you better pay attention to it by someone else! Haha!"
Xiao Yun laughed arrogantly, and the angry Yanzhi trembled all over, pointing at Xiao Yun and saying nothing. The ghost hand helped him into the carriage, "Prime Minister, it's better to go in first if it's dangerous outside." People like this will be rewarded after all!"
"What? Finally torn your face, Liu Zhang, Xiao Yun, Zhong Yan, the three of you have begun to rebel blatantly! Do you know the consequences?"
"What about tearing your face? Your 10,000 Red Army, except for the 2,000 on your side, the rest have been annihilated by several times our strength at all city gates and City Lord's Mansions, but to be honest, your Red Army is still quite difficult to deal with in the chaos in the city!" Liu Zhang said lukewarmly.
Nearly 8,000 Red Army sons died tragically, and the heart of the fire was shocked. From leaving the Commander's Mansion to design an ambush to preparing to go back. It's only been a short time, first the crazy villagers created chaos on the streets, and then a large number of Jiuyao City troops chased and killed to the city gate, and the heavy shield soldiers blocked the passage of the city gate and insisted on waiting for the large army, until now they were surrounded by layers, all of this must have been premeditated.
"Are you all members of the Black Lotus Society?"
"There's nothing to hide, and someone as shrewd as the general will find out sooner or later. Designing an ambush in the Commander's house almost landed on your way. If it weren't for this, I wouldn't have been able to tear my face with you so quickly. Since I have long suspected that I Xiao Yun has been on my head, there will definitely be some preparations, all this is just in advance!"
"Xiao Yun! You Black Lotus will do evil, and you can't be deceived by pretending to be such a child, and now you are openly mutiny in Jiuyao City. Even if you kill me, kill everyone! 100,000 Red Army and 1 million border guards will definitely not let you go!"
"Who said that he was going to kill you, not only can't he kill you, but he can't kill the one sitting in the carriage, and if we capture you alive, our Black Lotus Society will be of great use!"
"With you rabble, do you still want to subvert the imperial city? Don't think about threatening me and Yanzhi with anything! Even if I die here with the Red Army soldiers, I won't let you be captured alive!" A general who is willing to die with his soldiers, then his soldiers are more willing to die for the general.
"Good! Good! The loyalty and courage of the general really deserves his reputation! Xiao Yun admires and admires!"
Li Siguang strode beside his father with a big knife, "Xiao Yun boy, don't forget that Lao Tzu is still here, talking so much nonsense, let's take care of your life first!"
"Hey, although my body is not as good as that of a young man, and I am not at the age of being strong in blood and blood, I am a little unhappy when I lose to you in the imperial city competition. Let's take this opportunity to have a fight!" Tianci smiled and pinched the goatee on his chin.
Not to be outdone, the Shuangsha brothers, who were guarding the carriage of Yanzhi, shouted in a thin voice with a ghost hand, "Just that little white face, believe it or not, our brothers can beat you with a blue nose and swollen face, and the eighty-year-old aunt doesn't want to look at you more!"
"Hahahaha!" Xiao Yun laughed angrily, a hint of hideousness appeared on his handsome face, "Let you be strong first." I don't even need to make a move, the three thousand heavy shield soldiers can crush your bones and scatter ashes! Why don't you have a rain of arrows first?"
"Archers prepare!" As soon as Xiao Yun raised his hand, hundreds of archers behind the big shield raised their longbows in unison, and as soon as they let go, a rain of arrows composed of hundreds of sharp arrows would fall from the sky.
"Wait!" Tianci shouted loudly.
"What, you don't want to die? Yes, as long as you are willing to submit to the Black Lotus Society, and you are also the last elder of the Sword Pavilion, it is not easy to cultivate the sword path to this realm, and I can spare your life." If any of you are willing to submit to the Black Lotus Society, you can lay down your weapons now, and you can be killed!"
Tianci sighed heavily, and clicked his lips, "Actually, people are this thing, the older they live, the more afraid they are of death! It's not that they don't want to live, but at least they have to let me know what the Black Lotus Society is, what strength the Black Lotus Society has, and whether they can finally raise me old!"
"What did you say?" Li Siguang turned around angrily and yelled at Tianci.
"I don't eat the imperial court, and the Black Lotus Society hasn't done anything to me, I think it's wrong to live?" Tianci walked as he spoke, standing in the open space between Xiao Yun and Li Siguang, with great intention of taking refuge in Xiao Yun. Lihuo frowned, and for a moment he couldn't figure out what Tianci wanted to do.
"Haha! Okay! Those who know the times are Junjie, and when they are older, they understand more truths!" Xiao Yun smiled contemptuously, "I might as well tell you the strength of our Black Lotus Society." Anyway, all the people here today, if they don't join my Black Lotus Society, there will be only one way to die!"
The Heavy Shield Barracks was trained by Zhong Yan, the master of the Black Lotus Society, of course, it was Zhong Yan's horse, and it didn't matter at all whether the Black Lotus Society or the Red Army was chasing and killing, and the soldiers who came with the city lord Liu Zhang were all their cronies, and of course they were also members of the Black Lotus Society.
But those soldiers guarding the city gates and the soldiers who had gathered from all over Jiuyao City didn't know what the Black Lotus Society was. Originally, I followed Liu Zhang's order and thought that someone was really pretending to be the prime minister's general, but after stopping a few words, I found out the strangeness, even if the prime minister and the general were pretended, the 10,000 Red Army soldiers with bright red armor could also pretend?
Everyone was beating drums in their hearts, and now the situation was indeed that the Red Army had no chance of winning, and it was impossible for anyone alive to stay. But in the future, to help the city lord rebel against the imperial city, the millions of city defense troops, tens of thousands of red troops, it will be a lot of effort to crush Jiuyao City.
Therefore, these soldiers all pricked up their ears, wondering what the Black Lotus Society that the city lord would take refuge in would be like, and then they would be able to save their lives and even be promoted to become rich.
