Chapter 11: The First Battle
The walls of loess boulders meander along the mountain range, and the walls are dotted with traces left by the years, and the majestic pass is like iron, standing in the vast mountains, like a warrior who has guarded the frontier for thousands of years.
Li He took out a small flag from his arms and waved it at the city wall three times, and Ye Ziyu and the four of them saw the huge city gate slowly open a gap, like a monster opening a huge mouth slightly.
Li He took Ye Ziyu and them into Yangguan, and after entering the city, Ye Ziyu found that this giant pass was far bigger than he imagined.
The Kannai is divided into two walls, north and south, and there are steep mountains as high as the clouds in the east and west, and there are very few houses in the Kannai, and all that can be seen are military camps, and only a huge mansion stands in the middle of the gate.
From time to time, there were cries of soldiers and the sound of arrows breaking through the air. Li He didn't know what Ye Ziyu and they introduced, so he took them straight to the mansion in the city, and the soldiers patrolling along the way saluted respectfully when they saw Li He, their eyes were full of reverence, it seems that this Vice General Li has a good reputation in the fortress.
When they arrived at the mansion, Ye Ziyu saw that the plaque in front of the mansion was hung with the three big words "General's Mansion", and the soldiers guarding the door did not interrogate them when they saw that it was Li Hehou and let them in directly.
After entering, there is no luxury and richness as Ye Ziyu imagined, there are only a dozen partial rooms in the house, there is a white tiger hall in the middle, there is no garden landscape in the house, only a school field is built in front of the lobby, and there are eighteen kinds of weapons and a few arrow targets on the field.
Li He took them to the outside of the White Tiger Hall, asked them to wait here, and when they came out, they already had a few more waist cards in their hands that exuded a faint aura, and they casually threw them to the four of them.
Ye Ziyu only felt that the waist card was cold after he got it, it seemed to be made of dark iron, and the waist card was engraved with a repair word, Li He said: "This waist card is specially made in the army, and after being poured into the body, you can sense the position of the surrounding friendly troops." The second is that it can open a protective shield when you encounter a life-and-death crisis, and it can resist the blows of the fifth-layer Qi Refiner of Qi Refining, and if used properly, it may have miraculous effects. ”
Chang Zhenyong heard a flash of light in his eyes when he heard this, and he couldn't help but be amazed when he looked at the small waist card in his hand, but he didn't expect that this small token itself was still a good life-saving spiritual weapon. Although it can only withstand one attack, this is a rare treasure in a hundred years in the rivers and lakes, and the imperial court is really rich.
Ye Ziyu thought of another thing, there must be a lot of danger on this battlefield, otherwise there would be no need for every Qi Refiner to issue a life-saving spiritual weapon in his hand.
Sure enough, the sky that had been clear was suddenly shrouded in a black cloud, and the sky instantly became dark.
Li He's face changed, and he said to the four of them: "It's not good, the barbarian army is attacking the city, you come with me." After saying that, he flashed and swept in the direction of the northern city.
Ye Ziyu and the four of them didn't dare to slack off, so they spread their bodies and followed. After a while, they stood on the city gate tower in the north, Ye Ziyu looked down at the city wall, and couldn't help but gasp.
I saw a black press under the city wall, all of them were tall barbarians, dressed in animal skins, and their weapons were also different, including bone knives sharpened from animal bones, and spears made of sharpened stones as spearheads.
Although the weapons were primitive and rudimentary, these barbarians exuded a terrifying and barbaric atmosphere, and tens of thousands of soldiers approached the city, vaguely condensing into a powerful army.
The soldiers guarding the city on Yangguan City also rushed to the city wall one after another, and under the command of the commander, they drew their longbows and were ready to fire at any time. The crossbow launchers on the city walls were also full of soldiers, all of whom were ready to enter the war just waiting for the commander's order.
The supreme commander on the scene was Yu Qiyong's deputy general Li He, Li He first ordered someone to inform Yu Qiyong to let him return to the city quickly, and then issued a series of orders in an orderly manner, and the major barracks in Yangguan were mobilized.
After giving the order, Li He turned around and said to Ye Ziyu and the others: "This time it's too bad, the barbarian army dispatched a barbarian warrior who is comparable to the fifth layer of qi refining, and General Yu is not in the camp, once he is allowed to climb the city wall, Yangguan will not be able to defend it." After speaking, he pointed to the burly man at the front of the barbarian army formation with a beast bone stick.
Chang Zhenyong asked, "So what should I do now?" Li He said after a slight hesitation: "Now only the five of us have joined forces, first hold him back and don't let him have a chance to come up." ”
Everyone nodded, and that was the only way to do it now. The barbarian warrior under the walls let out a roar of rage, followed by the barbarian army under his leadership, and began to siege the city.
I saw that they moved out of the long ladders that towered into the sky, and the huge stones in the rear of the war were carried onto the catapults by the barbarians, and the boulders broke through the air and hit the tower of Yangguan City.
Suddenly, there was a loud "boom", and the gate of Yangguan opened a gap, and thousands of iron horsemen were killed from it, brandishing their sabers and rushing towards the barbarian army, and the arrows on the city wall were densely rained, like flying locusts into the barbarian army's phalanx.
Suddenly, the barbarian army was killed and wounded, and a tragic battlefield aura rushed to the face, and even the black and oppressive sky was dyed red with blood.
Ye Ziyu and the five of them followed closely behind the cavalry, and he shook several barbarian soldiers with his palm from time to time, watching as the barbarian bodies exploded into pieces of minced meat, and blood splashed all over Ye Ziyu's face.
For the first time in his life, he killed someone, and he endured the vomiting sensation in his stomach and did not vomit out. Ye Ziyu clearly knows that the battlefield has its own rules, and the benevolence of a woman cannot protect anyone, but will only cost her life in vain, and even lose Yangguan, and then thousands of Li people behind him will be slaughtered by the barbarian army.
The speed of the iron cavalry charge was very fast, and they encountered the barbarian warrior in a short time, and Li He whispered: "Remember not to be close to him, just drag him down with a long-range spell attack." Everyone nodded yes.
I saw Li He's fingers together, and he actually condensed a fireball at his fingertips, and the fireball rushed towards the barbarian warrior under his control, Chang Zhenyong and the three of them also cast their own spells, or water balls or clods of soil, Ye Ziyu also moved his mind, and a wisp of cyan flame condensed between the palms of his left hand, and attacked the warrior under the traction of true qi.
Unexpectedly, the warrior didn't dodge it, and with a punch, he directly blasted away the fireballs, earth and stones and other spells, and he sneered at Ye Ziyu and them, just about to attack.
Suddenly, his face changed, and he forcibly withdrew his body that was about to jump, and rolled towards the ground to avoid a wisp of cyan flames, but the animal skin clothes on his body were ignited by the flames, and in the blink of an eye, a raging fire ignited.
Everyone around was shocked, and the warrior moved quickly, immediately took off the animal skin, and then his body extinguished the flames on his body in a burst. He stared at Ye Ziyu opposite, his eyes were full of murderous aura, and there was a trace of hidden fear in the depths of his eyes. Li He and the others all turned their heads and looked at Ye Ziyu with surprised eyes, they never thought that this young man would have such a powerful spell.
Ye Ziyu suddenly shouted: "Be careful, he's here." Only then did everyone hurriedly turn their heads and wait, only to see that the barbarian warrior's body disappeared in place as soon as he moved, and he actually came directly at Ye Ziyu at the rear.
Ye Ziyu's mind had already tensed, and he always paid attention to the enemy's every move, but he didn't panic at this time, he felt that when the strong wind hit, he wrapped his arms with Qingyang energy, and when he moved forward, he suddenly felt a huge force coming, and his internal organs trembled, and a wisp of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.
After Li He and the other four people reacted, they hurriedly protected Ye Ziyu in the middle, and the soldier saw that Ye Ziyu was only slightly injured by his full force, and the killing intent in his eyes became a little stronger.
Li He condensed the spell in their hands again, but the warrior waved his hand behind him, and suddenly two more barbarian warriors came out, Li He's face changed drastically, and he said to Ye Ziyu and them: "Run, this is a trap, the strength of those two people is comparable to the third layer of qi refining, and the other party deliberately wants to lure us out." ”
Chang Zhenyong's faces changed greatly when they heard this, and they were just about to turn around and run away, but they suddenly heard Ye Ziyu shouting: "Be careful! Before everyone could react, they saw a palm straight through Li Long's chest, Li Long's left hand was holding the waist card but before it could be activated, the left hand hung down weakly, and the whole person lost his vitality at once.
It was the leading warrior who took advantage of the panic of everyone to suddenly attack and kill the weakest Li Long with a single blow.
After killing Li Long, he pounced on Ye Ziyu.
The other two rushed towards Li He and Wu Wei, Li He must have also practiced the art of refining the body in the army, and he could protect himself after being close to him.
Wu Wei fell into great luck, under the attack of the warrior, he was in danger, seeing that the next move was about to be in a different place, Wu Wei bit his teeth, urging the aura to pour into the waist card, and the waist card really released a light cyan light curtain, resisting the warrior's knife sweep, Wu Wei didn't care about other people, and ran towards the gate of Yangguan City.
Ye Ziyu didn't dare to confront the warrior led by this, and hurriedly called Chang Zhenyong to join forces with him to fight the enemy, who knew that Chang Zhenyong's face changed for a while and turned around and ran away, Ye Ziyu scolded and had to continue to flee in the army.
The soldier was in hot pursuit, but during the action, he cleverly sealed Ye Ziyu's escape route in the direction of Yangguan. Ye Ziyu had not much true qi left in his body at this time, and he had already consumed one-third of his true qi by using that cyan flame.
He bumped into this warrior again, and there were some slight injuries in his body, he bit his teeth, quickly took out a bottle of Qi Refining Pill from his arms, and poured it into his mouth.
The pill dissolved, and the streams of pure medicinal power were transformed into true qi under the operation of Qingyang Duel, and Ye Ziyu once again condensed a wisp of cyan flame in the palm of his hand, but the speed of this flame was too slow, and it was really difficult to hit this agile brute warrior.
Suddenly, Ye Ziyu's eyes flashed, and his pretense of true qi was exhausted, and he accidentally crashed into a barbarian soldier for a while, slowing down his escape. The warrior behind him was overjoyed when he saw this, and his toe jumped up and grabbed Ye Ziyu's heart, but when his body just jumped in the air, Ye Ziyu suddenly turned around and smiled at him sinisterly.
The warriors in the air secretly shouted that it was not good, but at this time they wanted to withdraw but could not do it. I saw that a wisp of cyan flame had condensed from the palm of Ye Ziyu's hand at some point, which was a little thicker than Fang Cai's, and the flame was directly wrapped around the warrior's right arm.
Immediately, a scream of extreme pain rang out on the battlefield, and the cyan flames burned his right arm like maggots on tarsal bones.
The flesh on his right arm was being consumed by the flames at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the flames were about to spread all over his body, and his eyes flashed fiercely, and he actually snatched the long knife of a soldier beside him, and cut off his right arm with a single swing, preventing the spread of the fire.
He stared at Ye Ziyu with resentment, and the killing intent in his eyes was almost like condensing into substance. Ye Ziyu's hand quietly touched the storage bag in his arms, and there was a pale yellow spirit rune floating in it.
At the moment when the barbarian warrior pounced on Ye Ziyu, Ye Ziyu had already taken out the spirit rune and was about to urge, suddenly a cold light flashed in mid-air, and the other arm of the warrior fell from the air, followed by a painful roar, I don't know when, in front of Ye Ziyu was actually standing a burly man wearing black armor and holding a long knife.
