Chapter 297: One-Armed General
In the city of Anxi, 20,000 soldiers from the North Court raised their arms and shouted, with a generous momentum and a sound that shook the sky.
Outside the city, 100,000 black-armored Jing troops stood solemnly in the wind, silent, which shows the strictness of discipline.
At the rear of the military formation, a middle-aged general with a light face and wearing exaggerated carved light armor rode out, looked up at Anxi, and couldn't help but recall the past.
His name is Bai Yingqi, who failed here twice that year, escaped death, and almost became a nightmare for a lifetime.
Come back today to break the demons in your heart!
Anxi, this isolated city has been extremely dilapidated after a hundred years of rain, snow, wind and frost.
Especially that year, at the end of the "Battle of the Venerable of the Central Plains", the world-destroying heavenly thunder covered Anxi and almost collapsed the city.
After the Tang Dynasty, several repairs were carried out, but they did not change the declining appearance of this isolated city.
"It is said that the An XC area was built by Xu Guohao merchants back then, and after we burned it down, the Tang people restored it."
"But this wall has existed as early as the Great Xia Dynasty."
Bai Yingqi sighed softly, "Only Great Xia can build such a strong city in the depths of the desert."
"In today's Central Plains countries, people's livelihood is withering, the treasury is empty, and it is difficult to build a town."
"When I dominate the world, it will be easy to build a hundred heroic cities." As he spoke, the sound of horses' hooves approached, and a general came to the side.
is also a middle-aged man in his forties and fifties, with a slender body and a pair of eagle eyebrows exuding a fierce aura.
"Let's do it, these Tang people are exhausted, don't give them a chance to rest."
This middle-aged man, named Meng Su, also remembers the fiasco in Anxi that year.
It is for this reason that the two of them tried their best to get this opportunity.
"It's been twelve years, and I've finally waited for the day when Ma Ta Anxi, the shame of the past is snowy now!"
The two generals, Bai Yingqi and Meng Su, glanced at each other, and immediately waved the order flag at the same time.
"Siege!"
100,000 Jing troops moved in response.
Erecting arrow towers, loading carts, erecting ladders, and a team of soldiers rushing forward with shields in an orderly manner.
The Beiting army at the head of the city immediately took action, shooting non-stop with big bows and crossbows, and throwing down rocks and rolling logs from time to time, which also showed that they were well-trained.
However, this Beiting army was not in good shape, many of them were slightly wounded, their faces were tired, and it was obvious that they had only experienced a few battles, and they could only hold on with a willpower.
Jing Jun was in good condition, all of them were in good spirits, and they had the advantage of numbers, and they advanced to the foot of the city wall after an hour.
Immediately after that, a number of ladders were thrown up the city, and the Jing soldiers began to climb up.
"Prepare for melee!"
The one-armed general at the head of the city raised his sword and shouted.
Under the city, Bai Yingqi looked at the one-armed general, shook his head and chuckled:
"Gao Hanqing, if your master was here back then, I would have left without saying a word, only your words...... Huh."
Whew...... A team of innate warriors mixed with the soldiers who climbed the city, suddenly burst out and rushed to the head of the city first.
"Get out!" Gao Hanqing shouted angrily and swung his sword away.
The sword light flickered like a thunderbolt, and in the blink of an eye, he killed three innate martial artists.
Gao Hanqing, a one-armed general of the Tang Dynasty, studied under the Anxi people, and his swordsmanship is unparalleled.
Under the age of thirty, he has already reached the realm of a grandmaster, and he is one of the most outstanding martial arts geniuses in the Central Plains in recent years!
"Your opponent is me!"
Meng Su jumped on the head of the city, a steel knife, and fought fiercely with Gao Hanqing.
The two are old opponents on the battlefield in the northwest, and they often fight each other, and Mengsu can still have the upper hand in the past few years, but it will become more and more difficult later.
Fighting again today, Meng Su saw the sword light in front of him, and his heart was secretly shocked-
"This kid is progressing too fast, and his exercises are extraordinary, in a few years, I'm afraid I won't be able to deal with it!"
Thinking of this, he suddenly let out a long howl.
Under the city, in the military array, Bai Yingqi was secretly mixing in the crowd, and when he heard this voice, he shook his head secretly:
"Lao Meng can't do it
, I was eaten to death by Song Yun back then, and now I am being bullied by his apprentices, tsk."
With a rub of his right hand, a gold needle with red lines was twisted at his fingertips.
A hundred years of troubled times are no better than Great Xia, and most of the Taoist inheritances are severed, and it is enough to be famous all over the world if you can have a spell.
Bai Yingqi's flying needle is a unique skill, elusive, silently killing, and quietly shooting in the chaotic army array, ordinary martial artists can't prevent it at all.
A number of middle- and high-level generals in the Tang Kingdom have died under the blood-streaked golden needle.
Among them, there was even a grandmaster general, who was attacked and killed by a flying needle during the battle, almost causing the collapse of the southwestern front of the Tang Kingdom.
Soon, Gao Hanqing will be the next Tang Grandmaster to die from the flying needle shooting!
The corners of Bai Yingqi's mouth were slightly hooked.
"If you can't beat Song Yun, you can't deal with you?"
Boom, a sharp sound of breaking the air sounded, and the flying needle turned into a phantom and shot out.
This sound is difficult for a grandmaster and martial artist to hear in the battlefield where the sound of killing is earth-shattering and the drums and horns are continuous.
Bai Yingqi's eyes narrowed slightly, and the power of his divine soul was attached to the blood-patterned golden needle, guiding the golden needle to bypass one obstacle after another, and with the help of Jing Jun's body as a cover, he flew in an arc and quietly approached the city.
At this time, Gao Hanqing was still fighting with Mengsu, fighting fiercely, and he didn't notice that the killing machine had struck.
Soon, the golden needle flew to the head of the city and hid behind a Jing Guo congenital, and the sharp tip of the needle was aimed at Gao Hanqing's waist.
"Give me death!"
Bai Yingqi's eyes bloomed, the power of the divine soul was urged, and the golden needle instantly mentioned the extreme speed!
Meng Su had already prepared, and with a few shouts, he attacked wildly, interfering with Gao Hanqing's perception.
As long as the golden needle enters the body, the grandmaster can't stand it, and can only wait for death!
Hmmm-
The golden needle flew into the air, and before it could pierce its target, it suddenly disappeared.
Completely gone, as if it had never been there.
Bai Yingqi's eyes widened, and he didn't even care about concealment, and exclaimed in the Jing Jun formation:
"Where's my needle?"
Gao Hanqing frowned slightly, it seemed that there was some danger approaching just now, but before he could react, the danger disappeared automatically.
However, there were crises everywhere on the battlefield, and he couldn't care so much, he swung his sword with one arm and slashed at Meng Su.
"Sword One, Break the Sea!"
Meng Suzheng was puzzled why Bai Yingqi hadn't made a move yet, and when he suddenly encountered a ruthless move, he was caught off guard, and the steel knife in his hand was cut off by a sword from the opposite side!
"This, this is Song Yun's swordsmanship!"
He was shocked, and some tragic memories instantly came to mind.
Gao Hanqing swung his sword and laughed, "It seems that you have seen it, so you dare to come to Anxi?"
The momentum of the two sides rose one by one and the other declined, the victory and defeat had been divided, Meng Su held the broken knife and retreated, and had to call someone to cover.
Gao Hanqing was in a brave state, and he killed more than ten innate people in a row, and successfully drove this wave of charging martial arts masters down the city.
Looking around, you can see the corpses of hundreds of Jingguo soldiers.
Gao Hanqing was surprised in his heart:
"The combat power of this group of Jing troops is not weak, why did they die so many at once?"
Under the city, Meng Su was embarrassed, and angrily found Bai Yingqi and asked:
"What are you doing? Didn't you say that you would kill Gao Hanqing together?"
Bai Yingqi sat on the ground with a puff, completely ignoring the image, only looked at Anxi blankly, and muttered:
"Impossible, impossible."
"He's dead, there's no way he's coming back......
