Chapter 180: Reinforcements Arrive

The next day passed in peace, and both sides were secretly preparing, or dispatching troops, or studying countermeasures.

On the third day of the siege of the Ghost Slayer Sect, Xu Guoshi, who was looking out at the head of the city, rushed over to report the good news:

"Reinforcements! Our reinforcements have arrived! ”

The martial artists of the Gao family breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this, and said with a smile: "Let's go, go up and have a look." ”

The group climbed to the top of the city and looked to the south.

I saw that in the smoke and dust billowing in the distance, the "Xu" character flags were waving in the wind, and a large number of Xu Guo's soldiers under the banner marched in a procession, densely packed, and the number must be about 100,000.

They were dressed in uniform crimson armor, armed with swords, guns, bows and shields, and their formation was strict and majestic, and they knew at a glance that they were the main force of the Xu Imperial Court, unlike the thousand people on duty in Anxi, who were just miscellaneous soldiers.

Xu Guo's army slowly came from the south, and the target was Anxi City.

"The effect of this wolf smoke is really good! So soon an army arrived. Zhang Yingzheng was very surprised, looking back at the wolf smoke still burning in the city, and was very happy.

Song Yun also appeared at the head of the city, looking at the army in the distance, his face was expressionless, and he did not speak.

The rest of the people were smiling and erected a banner with the word "Xu" high at the head of the city, echoing each other from afar.

Everyone waited for a long time, and when they saw that Xu Guo's army had arrived smoothly and was only a dozen miles away from the city, they shouted:

"Open the gates, prepare to open the gates!"

A few soldiers were just about to go down and open the door.

"Wait!"

When everyone heard this voice, their bodies shook, and they all turned their heads and looked at the white-clothed young man beside them.

Song Yun glanced at them, "If you want to open the city gate, open the city gate?" With my consent? ”

"No, no." The crowd bowed their heads in humility.

Song Yun snorted coldly, "Xu Guo's army must be reinforcements?" Then why didn't the Ghost Slayer Sect move at all? ”

Zhang Yingzheng was a little unconvinced, and had the courage to retort:

"Ghost Killing Sect Cai, how dare you compete with an army of 100,000? Surely he fled from the wind. ”

Song Yun: "The Ghost Slaying Sect has two Martial Saints in the middle stage, unless there is also a Venerable on Xu Jun's side, otherwise there will definitely be a fight." ”

"Anxi just lit the wolf smoke, and didn't ask for help, according to common sense, the Xu Imperial Court would only think that it was the raid of the Northern Plains Tartars, and it would be good to be able to support a few thousand people."

"If you look outside, there will be an army of 100,000 in three days, and there may even be Venerable, is it normal for such a big battle?"

After saying this, everyone's faces changed when they heard it.

But there are still people who don't believe in evil.

Gao Lanchun said: "Maybe the army has another task, and I saw the wolf smoke halfway and came to help by the way." ”

"That's right." Another Gao family martial artist nodded, "Our Xu country is a great country, so we can't be in cahoots with the Ghost Slaying Sect, right?" ”

Song Yun shook his head when he heard this, and said to Gao Lanchun:

"I remember you once said that your family master Gao Shan has a decent style and can't do bad things?"

"Couldn't Xu Guo do something bad?"

Gao Lanchun suddenly lost his voice.

Song Yun turned his head to look at the army outside, "Gaoshan has built a lot of construction and built Anxi, and he has deceived 50,000 displaced people when he comes up, and if the plan is not revealed, maybe he can deceive tens of thousands more." ”

"With such a big movement, it is impossible for no one in the DPRK and China to know about it."

"If the Ghost Slayer Sect dares to plan this matter in Xu Kingdom, there must be something to rely on, so don't take chances."

Zhang Yingzheng sighed: "Maybe there is a problem, but you can't fight each other, right?" ”

"If you don't beat them, they'll beat you, and they'll kill everyone to kill them." Song Yun said, "I have already seen that the opposite side is quietly preparing siege equipment. ”

"What!" The crowd was shocked.

The people at the head of the city were still arguing fiercely, and under the city, there were already a thousand Xu Guo cavalry galloping over.

The cavalry officer at the head rushed to the gate of the city, stopped his horse sharply, raised his head and shouted:

"Who is the camp on duty? What happened in the city, and why did the wolf smoke ignite? ”

Zhang Yingzheng was instantly possessed by Song Yun's divine spirit, his face became stiff, and he shouted downward:

"In the past few days, a large number of killers from the Ghost Killing Sect have besieged the city, plotting against each other, and they are asking for help."

The cavalry officer immediately replied: "The killer of the Ghost Slayer Sect has been frightened back by our army, you can rest assured, we need to enter the city to rest, please open the city gate." ”

As he spoke, he took out the bow and arrow on his back, wrapped a brocade cloth around the arrow, and shot it.

Zhang Ying was opening the brocade cloth, and on it was a handwritten order from Liao Dingshan, Marshal of Xu State, asking the defenders of Anxi to cooperate with all actions.

The tail is also stamped with the marshal's personal seal and the large seal of the military department, and the procedures are complete and there is no problem.

Zhang Yingzheng was under Song Yun's control, put away the brocade cloth, and shouted below:

"I have received information that the Ghost Slayer Sect has forged official documents, and I can't trust you just by relying on this order, please forgive me."

The south gate below remains closed.

The cavalry officer grinned angrily, "If this order is fake, then is the 100,000 army behind me also fake?" You're finding fault, aren't you? ”

"Hurry up and open the door, or I'll ask my superiors to punish you!"

Zhang Yingzheng still shook his head, "Please forgive me, if you have to open the door, please let the marshal give the order in person, and I will obey it." ”

The cavalry officer held a horsewhip and pointed at Zhang Yingzheng's nose and scolded:

"How old are you? A marginal battalion, still thinking of instructing the marshal to come forward? Give you one last chance, don't open the door again, and the military law will deal with it! ”

Zhang Yingzheng still only has three words: "Please forgive me." ”

The cavalry officer crackled and cursed, and when he saw that the city was unresponsive, he could only slap his horse and leave angrily.

At the head of the city, Zhang Yingzheng got rid of the possession state, looked at the departing cavalry team, and almost didn't cry.

Song Yun shook his head, "Don't worry, if they really have no problem, I will sponsor you and help you get promoted and make a fortune!" ”

"Alas, thank you, Lord Song." Zhang Yingzheng's face is still not good-looking.

The hearts of the people were very worried.

Keeping the 100,000 army outside the city, the other side won't really be angry and attack the city directly, right?

Song Yun didn't say anything more.

He tried his best to get these people to stay in the city to help willingly, so that they would be allowed to go to the top of the city, otherwise the gang would not have had a chance to argue with him.

Song Yun shifted his attention to the outside of the city, observing the overall strength of this army of 100,000.

A hundred years of turmoil have just begun, and the military strength of various countries is indeed far greater than that of a hundred years later.

In the era in which Song Yun was originally lived, martial arts were practiced to the peak of first-order martial arts, and he was proficient in some weapons and battle formations, he could already be called elite soldiers, and the main force of the Beiting Army was also of this grade.

And in this current era, just look at the army of Xu Guo on the opposite side, the first-order martial artists are the corners, and the second-order martial disciples are the main force, with a total of seventy or eighty thousand.

The proportion of second, third, and fourth order, innate and grandmaster is also higher than that of the Beiting Army in later generations.

And Xu Guo is only a strong country in this era, not a hegemon.

Song Yun was still observing, and suddenly saw a change in the formation of the army outside, and another team came out in the middle.

Surrounded by a group of martial arts masters, a red-armored veteran with crane hair and a childish face took off into the air, flew out of the camp, and took the lead outside the city.

The red-armored veteran hovered in mid-air, at the height of everyone in the city, and said in a deep voice:

"The old man is Liao Dingshan, Marshal of the Soldiers and Horses of Xu Guo, who is on duty in the camp? Ben Shuai now ordered, open the city gates! ”

At this time, behind Song Yun, Chang Bing, who was wearing green clothes, suddenly jumped out, holding the evil mirror high, facing Liao Dingshan.

On the smooth mirror surface, a dark red glow appears and disappears.

"Evil! You've been infested with evil spirits! Chang Bing shouted at Liao Dingshan.

The red armor veteran's face suddenly sank.

"Evil?" The warriors of the Gao family and the soldiers defending the city at the head of the city are still unknown.

Liao Dingshan reacted quickly and reprimanded angrily: "What nonsense? Ben Shuai is right in front of you, can you still be fake? If you don't open the door again, you will be punished with a felony! ”

He is a martial saint powerhouse, and he is also a marshal who leads the army, his eyes are glaring, and his majesty is like a mountain, which overwhelms everyone.

Song Yun immediately unleashed his momentum,-for-tat, asked loudly, and repeated what he said during the previous argument -

"Marshal Liao, I don't know about something - why did you bring so many people to Anxi? Do you know what's going on? ”

"There are two Martial Saints in the Ghost Slaying Sect, could it be that they were scared away when they saw you?"

……

Liao Dingshan's eyes were deep, staring at Song Yun, pulling out the sword at his waist, and shouting:

"Military secrets, how can you know if you want to know? As a soldier and civilian, the only thing you need to do is to cooperate! ”

Song Yun laughed and pulled out his bronze long sword, "Cooperation? If you don't say it clearly, you won't be accompanied! ”

With a wave of his left hand, he swept like the wind, blowing everyone down at the head of the city.

With a sword swing in his right hand, he slashed horizontally, and with a concise and sharp "Broken Sea", he repelled Liao Dingshan, who wanted to step forward.

Liao Dingshan snorted coldly, and did not rush out of the sword, but shouted first:

"Boy, no matter who you are, in the city of Xu Guo, you will attack this handsome, regard it as an accomplice, and there will be no mercy!"

Below, a group of martial arts masters shouted in unison: "Rebels, there is no mercy for killing!" ”

The 100,000 troops in the distance heard the voice and shouted:

"Rebels, there is no mercy!"

The sounds converged like muffled thunder, echoing across the desert.

In the city, the warriors of the Gao family and the soldiers defending the city were as white as earth.

"It's over, we're thieves!"

A few people still wanted to persuade Song Yun to change their minds, but the next moment, hundreds of people in Tsing Yi rushed out, blocked their way, and said in a deep voice:

"Everyone, hard work, Lord Song has an order, let you go to the city to maintain order now, without his notice, you must not take a step in the city!"

"It's-"

The warriors of the Gao family and the soldiers defending the city looked at the strength of these Tsing Yi people, and wisely chose to obey, obediently retreated, and entered the city.

At this moment, the people in the city had just finished eating, and they heard the noise of the army outside, and they were all a little panicked, and they didn't know what was happening.

But soon, the drug in the meal gradually took effect, and the people were sleepy one by one, and under Chang Bing's hypnosis, they honestly climbed back to bed and went to sleep.

The Tsing Yi Xuan Evil Guards did not go to the city to defend, they were too few in number to hold such a large city wall.

The Evil Guard followed behind the warriors of the Gao family, and built a small temporary defense line around the city.

is so stubborn, in fact, they don't have the bottom in their hearts.

But this is what Song Yun requested.

The task of punishing the evil guards is to lead the warriors of the Gao family and the soldiers who defend the city, protect the people in the city, and occasionally contain the enemy.

The matter of killing the enemy is only handed over to Song Yun alone!

Outside the city, the army shouted and drums and horns filled the sky.

At the head of the city, one man and one sword, his clothes fluttered.

The Great War is coming!
