Chapter Seventy-One: Extinguishing the White Vertical
The war horses that Yanyun rode eighteen times were all carefully selected by Zhao Zili and trained by the Netherworld, and they appeared quietly behind the people of Western Qin.
"Nether, wait a minute, you lead someone to attack first, I'll keep an eye on the master among them."
Netherworld nodded, the two of them had a clear division of labor, raised their right hand and drew a full bow of eighteen horsemen, aiming at the Tianwei Gate with a rain of arrows.
"Hey, what's the sound?"
The sound of the arrow breaking through the air alerted the sentry gatekeeper to some alarm, but before he could finish speaking, a sharp arrow pierced his throat.
"Enemy attack, enemy attack."
The people of Tianweimen finally reacted after a round of arrow rain, but the second round of arrow rain had already reached their heads.
Bai Zongheng was startled, and one turned over to avoid the rain of arrows, and shouted: "Hide behind the trees." β
When everyone heard this, they hid behind a big tree, which prevented more casualties.
But the team of 300 people lost more than 50 people just by relying on the rain of arrows, and Bai Zongheng gritted his teeth.
He really couldn't figure out where the enemy came from, this kind of dispatch was obviously unique to the army, but he hadn't heard that the Great Zhou sent a forbidden army to protect Zhao Zili.
Seeing that the Tianwei were hiding behind the trees, and the arrows could no longer play a greater role, the Netherworld drew his long knife and shouted: "Brothers, the enemy in front of you is going to be unfavorable to the prince, tell me what to do?" β
"Kill, kill, kill."
The shouts of the eighteen people shook the heavens and the earth, and the faces of some timid Tianweimen people turned white with fright.
"How is it possible, it turned out to be King Song's private soldier." Bai Zongheng secretly said that it was bad, everyone was deceived by King Song, and he didn't expect him to have such a backhand.
"Senior brother, what should I do?"
"What are you afraid of, the number of the other party must not be much, it was a sneak attack just now, we still have more than 200 people, and we will be afraid of them." But Bai Zongheng was also playing drums in his heart, and the sense of oppression given to him by the other party was really strong.
The Netherworld led the eighteen horsemen along the path of the mountains and forests, and came straight to the Tianwei Gate.
"Seventeen, eighteen, senior brother, you said that there are only eighteen people for them."
Bai Zongheng was finally relieved, these few people were not enough for him to kill alone.
"As I say, wait for them to come closer, and attack them in a swarm."
Tianweimen put on a good posture and waited for the battle, after all, it was a cavalry, and everyone was not careless.
A sneer appeared on the corner of Nether's mouth, and he shouted, "Tactic No. 2."
Between the eighteen horsemen, they stepped on their horses one after another, and once again pulled the bow and arrow, and the rain of arrows hit again, and the eyes of Tianweimen were straight.
"How is it possible, how can the human cavalry stand up."
Tianwei Gate was caught off guard, and dozens of people from the big head were shot to the ground, and the damage caused this time was even greater than the sneak attack just now.
Bai Zongheng's face was white, and his side had already lost more than half of it before the confrontation, but fortunately, there were no arrows in the opponent's quiver box.
"Cheer up, the other side has no arrows, and we are ten times as many as them."
Everyone set up their formations again, and the ghosts and others bowed slightly, their thighs clamped together, their weapons clenched with both hands, and their black helmets clicked in the charge.
As if a demon from hell, the black torrent slammed into the human wall of Tianwei Gate without any fancy fancy.
At the moment of impact, the people of Tianweimen seemed to feel that their bodies were torn apart in an instant, and many of them had experience in fighting with the army.
But such a terrifying army was really unheard of, and the disciple who bore the brunt of it was already pretending to be dead almost instantly, and the formation was immediately pierced.
Bai Zongheng's liver and gall were broken, and he yelled: "Good courage, take your life." β
At this moment, he is not reserved, if he continues like this, all 300 of his own people will die here.
In the face of the white sword, the dark did not panic at all, and sure enough, it was black again, forcing him back.
"I'll give this man to me, and you'll be responsible for clearing the rest of the fish." Qia looked at Bai Zongheng, who also realized that the person was a master who was not weaker than him.
"King Song has good skills, not only to raise such a powerful cavalry, but also a master like you, in the lower heavens, if your Excellency retreats, I can treat you as if I didn't see you."
Bai Zongheng is very inward, and wants to scare people with the name of Tianweimen.
Qi Ya sneered: "If Zhuo Tianwei is here, I may be able to give him three points of face, what are you." β
Bai Zongheng's heart sank, and the other party was not afraid at all when he heard Tianweimen, and he seemed to know the head of the sect when he heard the tone.
"Since Your Excellency knows the head of my family, why don't you give a thin face, and the King of Song will naturally give you more of the Western Qin."
Chia shook his head and said, "The soldier dies for his confidant, you don't understand, I can't delay any longer, it's time to send you on the road." β
The night swordsmanship does not leak, and the black sword aura that covers the sky and the sun makes people feel like they are in the dark and cannot find their way.
But Bai Zongheng is not an ordinary person after all, and a cold aura of luck and internal strength envelops his whole body, which is the Tianwei Gate Body-Protecting Peerless Cold Light Iron Cloth.
"Oh, this day Weimen's body protection mastery is a bit interesting, but it's a pity that you haven't practiced at home yet."
Bai Zongheng knew that his swordsmanship was definitely inferior to the enemy in front of him, so he could only resist with his body's true qi, and at this time he was already afraid, and he just wanted to find an opportunity to escape.
The other men were even more miserable, seeing that the senior brother had fallen into disadvantage, a few people still wanted to save him, but the long knife of the Eighteen Horsemen cut off his head in an instant.
More than 100 people were scattered by the war horses and divided into more than a dozen small groups, and they were killed one after another.
Tianweimen usually fights with sects, or fights alone on the rivers and lakes, how have I seen such a terrifying army of eighteen horsemen.
The wails came and went, and it was impossible to organize an effective resistance.
Bai Zongheng was entangled by Qiya, and he was also anxious when he heard the wailing of his brother, but the other party's martial arts were too high, and his true qi was almost unbearable.
"Your Excellency, as long as you let me live, Tianweimen will definitely repay me."
Suddenly, he felt that the sword qi was weakening, and he was happy in his heart, could it be that the other party was still afraid, no wonder he hadn't killed me after fighting for so long.
"Thank you, Your Excellencyβ" Before he could finish speaking, Chia's sword aura slit his throat.
"How dare you..."Bai Zongheng covered his neck, and the blood kept spurting.
"Why don't you dare, even if you don't meet me, you're destined to live short." Chia sheathed her sword.
Bai Zongheng's body fell to the ground with a bang, and a book fell out of his arms, and Qi Ya picked it up and saw that it was actually the secret book of the cold light iron suit.
"Take this back to the prince, he will definitely like it." Qiya's martial arts are not suitable for Zhao Zili, although he has taught him how to cultivate internal strength, but his moves are still lacking.
Turning his head to look at the Netherworld, it was also coming to an end at this time, and Bai Zongheng's death became the last straw that crushed Tianweimen.
Now they only think about escaping in their minds, but where can they escape from the sword formation of Yan Yun's eighteen horsemen, and there will be a corpse left on the ground without a pillar of incense.
"I'll go back to the prince first, and you guys should leave quickly, the prince said that the battlefield doesn't have to be cleaned to deter Xiaoxiao."
The Netherworld pulled out the arrow with Yan Yun's eighteen horsemen, and quickly left, continuing to follow the team, while Qia returned to the main army.
"Lord Wang, everyone has been cleaned up, this cheats book is a trophy, and my subordinates think it will be helpful to Lord Wang." Qiya handed over the secret book of the cold light iron coat to Zhao Zili.
"Good job, hard work, they weren't hurt." Zhao Zili took the cheats and looked through them.
"Thanks to the prince's weapons and armor, there were no casualties." Chia was also amazed, the armor of the Eighteen Riders was too strong.
Just now, the disciples of Weimen attacked them for more than a few days, but they didn't leave even a sword mark, and they were killed with their backhand.
"Alright, keep going, this section should be a lot quieter." Zhao Zili looked at the cheats and liked them very much.
As he thought, he walked quietly for a few hours, and he was about to leave the Luoyang realm.
On the other hand, when Lei Heng and the four of them arrived at the ambush site of Tianweimen, they saw corpses everywhere they looked.
"If we make a move, although we can kill all these three hundred people, where are there so many masters around King Song."
Looking at the corpses, Lei Heng is not good, he can't imagine that there are so many masters around King Song, could it be that the royal family sent masters to protect him.
"No, it was the cavalry army that struck with knife marks and arrow wounds." Murong Jian Qiuzi carefully examined the wounds of the corpse.
"Bai Zongheng is here, and he was killed by a sword." Hongling kicked Bai Zongheng's corpse, and the sword wound on his neck was clearly visible.
"The night swordsman beside King Song? But where did these cavalry armies come from, could it be that they were forbidden troops. "For a while, several people couldn't grasp their heads.
"Forget it, I still don't believe that King Song doesn't show his feet, since he has a means that we don't know, let's wait and see what happens."
Meng Wei smelled the smell of blood in the air, frowned and said, "Nasty smell." β
Swinging the Meteoric Iron Sword, a scorching sword aura swept over, evaporating all the blood in an instant, and even the corpse turned into a dried corpse.
"Xiaowei's hand is okay, beautiful." Hongling gave a thumbs up.
The four of them did not stop, and followed Zhao Zili's troops closely.
After leaving Luoyang, there were still ten days away from the Zhongzhou border, and Tian Rong, who was one step ahead, finally met Shui Rou and others day and night.
"Mr. Tian has worked hard all the way." Shui Rou looked at the carts full of supplies and horses and admired Tian Rong very much, it was not easy to carry so many things and go so fast.
"The water girl is polite, the prince should have been out of Luoyang, hurry up and let the ghost rider change into equipment, the horseshoe is all installed, but the saddle is not enough."
The crowd worked together to distribute the armor to the ghost riders.
Where have they ever seen such a good weapon, the corners of Le's mouth are enough to grin to the root of his ears.
The ghost rider with the changed equipment looks like a torrent of steel, invincible everywhere it goes.
"There are only a thousand horses, and the rest can only be infantry first."
Nether said happily, "No problem, the ghost rider doesn't just fight right away. β
"By the way, this is the military flag designed by the prince for you, and the prince said that in the future, you will be the prince's guard, and you will be named Tenglongwei." Tian Rong handed over the Dragon Banner to Youxuan.
"Thank you, Lord Wang." Youxuan took the flagpole and stood in front of him, the dragon flag fluttered in the wind, and everyone was enthusiastic.
"The prince has another poem for you." Tian Rong cleared his throat: "The wind is blowing, the clouds are flying, and the warriors are guarding the Quartet. β
"Swear allegiance to the king."
The response was a tsunami-like roar of the mountains.
