Chapter Eighty-Seven: Guarding (2)

Facing the towering city walls of Pingcheng, Xiao Jingxuan knew that he would not be able to attack it for a while.

However, Xiao Jingxuan didn't care, and while attacking the city, Xiao Jingxuan ordered that these young men who defended the country be reorganized.

Xiao Jingxuan allocated one officer from the Yan State for every 5,000 people in this newly formed army, a total of 50,000 people, and Xiao Jingxuan allocated ten officers.

Behind these armies were a large number of Overseers, who shot and killed the new troops as soon as they retreated.

After two days of relentless long-range attacks by trebuchets, Xiao Jingxuan finally sent these people into battle.

Xiao Jingxuan watched these patriotic armies go forward and attack one after another, and then fell in pieces, and did not set off a wave in his heart.

On the first day of the attack, the New Patriotic Army lost almost 5,000 men, while the defenders of the city lost only a few hundred.

That night, Xiao Jingxuan asked the bodies of the New Army to be removed and buried on a hill not far from Pingcheng.

Xiao Jingxuan ordered people to dig a lot of deep pits here for burying the corpses.

It was on this night that Xiao Jingxuan was assassinated by a strong defender.

These patriotic powerhouses, the lowest martial arts are all in the innate realm, and the highest has reached the first realm of the gods.

The number of these assassins was large, almost a hundred, and Xiao Jingxuan estimated that these strong men should have concentrated the number of all the strong people in the country.

To be honest, with Xiao Jingxuan's current guards, he couldn't stop the attacks of these assassins.

However, they seemed to have forgotten that Xiao Jingxuan himself was also a master in the early stage of channeling.

In the face of these assassins, Xiao Jingxuan ordered that the guards beside him withdraw and maintain law and order, and the rest would be taken care of by himself.

Pulling out the divine weapon in his hand, Xiao Jingxuan watched the assassins surround him one by one, and he also sneered in his heart.

No wonder the royal family was reluctant to surrender, they thought that these assassins could not use their mantis arms as cars.

Xiao Jingxuan rushed forward with the divine weapon, facing the assassins of the innate realm, Xiao Jingxuan was almost one by one, and the only two powerful people among the assassins did not survive ten moves in Xiao Jingxuan's hands.

After a burst of sword light, Xiao Jingxuan inserted the divine weapon into the scabbard, and said lightly to the guards around him: "Burying these assassins can be regarded as loyal and brave men, and they can't lose their dignity." ”

The surrounding guards looked at the corpses of the one hundred and ten assassins lying on the ground, and cast a look of admiration at Xiao Jingxuan.

"The last general commands."

After Xiao Ran answered the order, he waved his hand, and saw a large number of guards begin to clean up the battlefield.

At this moment, Xiao Jingxuan suddenly changed color, and immediately flew up from the handsome seat, and the divine soldier immediately flew out of the scabbard and was held in Xiao Jingxuan's hand.

Standing on the handsome case, Xiao Jingxuan looked around vigilantly.

"Who?"

The surrounding guards did not answer, and the surrounding guards began to draw their swords and be on guard.

At this time, Xiao Jingxuan only felt the air around him condense rapidly, and his whole body was like a jack pressing on the top, unable to move.

At this time, Xiao Jingxuan was shocked in his heart, he was already in the realm of the gods, and he was easily cured by the other party.

Suddenly, Xiao Jingxuan smiled. Xiao Jingxuan smiled and arched his hand into the void and said: "I don't know that the master's law is here, the younger generation has missed the distance, and I hope the master is not strange." ”

Xiao Jingxuan called the other party a master, shouldn't he call himself an apprentice? How can you call yourself a junior?

I only heard a soft female voice in the void: "Little slippery head, how do you know it's me?" ”

As soon as the words fell, I saw a figure begin to condense out of thin air in the handsome tent, which was Yang Yi's master.

Xiao Jingxuan saw that the pressure around him disappeared in an instant. He waved his hand around.

The surrounding guards quickly retracted their knives, and then dragged the assassin's body and quickly disappeared into the tent.

Xiao Jingxuan looked at the figure in front of him and said, "Junior, guess blindly, why are you here, master?" ”

"Hmph, you slippery head, you kidnapped my beloved apprentice with rhetoric, and I don't care about you, why did you create this monstrous killing karma now?"

"Master, on the battlefield, there is only victory and defeat, there is no right or wrong?"

"How innocent are the people? Why should you kill in vain? ”

"The master is an outsider, so why bother about Hongchen?"

As soon as Xiao Jingxuan's words fell, he saw the surrounding air condense again. The master's voice suddenly became cold.

"Why, do you think that the poor path will not eliminate the demon guardian path?"

"Master, for the people of the country, I am indeed like a demon, but for the people of the Yan country, I am no different from a Buddha of ten thousand families. It's just a different position. ”

"Rhetoric."

"Master, as the saying goes, one will succeed and ten thousand bones will wither, and these sacrifices are only temporary."

"Aren't you afraid of Heavenly Dao's rejection? Aren't you afraid of burning yourself in the fire of karma? ”

"The afterlife is too far away, and the younger generation only seeks this life."

"Hmph, it's really the reincarnation of an evil spirit, I just hope that your sinful karma won't implicate Xin'er."

Hearing this, Xiao Jingxuan was also a little worried in his heart.

"Does the master know something? Please also give me a word or two. ”

The master sighed, muttered for a while, and then began to speak.

It turned out that since ancient times, for some reason, the road to heaven has been cut off, and the world has been completely isolated from the fairy world.

Since then, the Tao has not been obvious in the world, all the Tao has become illusory, and there is only one way of martial arts in the world.

However, even if it is a martial art, if you cultivate to the peak of the Tongshen Realm, you can't go any further.

So the powerhouse of the Tongshen Realm thought of using luck and opportunity to reopen the path of heaven. At the moment when the Heavenly Road reopened, he broke through the obstacles and ascended to the immortal realm.

"Is the Heavenly Road broken because of the Great Break? What exactly is the Great Destruction? ”

Interrupted by Xiao Jingxuan, the master was not displeased, but explained carefully.

"The great change back then had a wide impact, and it was a shame for His Holiness, so it was called the Great Destruction, and as for the specifics, there is no ancient record."

"What's the matter with the evil spirit?"

"Everyone has a past life and a present life, and your past life was the star god in the sky. But it's an evil star. ”

"Can you tell me?"

"No, because I don't know, I can only deduce some vague things, and it is so difficult to gain insight into the heavens."

"Then what did the master say that I would implicate Xin'er?"

"When you can't bear the sin alone, it will be shared by your loved ones, and this is providence."

Hearing this, Xiao Jingxuan didn't care in his heart, as the old saying goes. Murder and arson of gold belts, repair bridges and repair roads without corpses. If the way of heaven is justice, how can the world be ignorant of good and evil.

Seeing Xiao Jingxuan's disapproving appearance, the master sighed.

"I'm here to persuade you to listen to it. That's your business, I'm gone. ”

As soon as the words fell, the figure began to dissipate in the handsome tent. When Xiao Jingxuan saw the dissipated figure, he still had a lot of scruples in his heart.

The next day, the siege began again.

Xiao Jingxuan asked all the patriotic recruits to start charging this time, and they were not allowed to retreat without a military order.

In the face of Xiao Jingxuan's order, these patriotic recruits did not dare to hesitate, you must know that at least half of the patriotic recruits who died yesterday died at the hands of the warlords.

Braving a rain of arrows and rocks, the recruits began to attack again.

However, Xiao Jingxuan did not put his mind on the battlefield, but looked at the surrounding Lei Ben, Yang Xiong said: "I'm afraid I won't be able to break through Pingcheng today, you can shoot some more people, collect some young people around, or continue to attack tomorrow." ”

Hearing Xiao Jingxuan's words, Lei Ben and Yang Xiong were fine, but they saw a general walk out behind the two of them, and arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, war is a soldier's business, why let innocent people suffer this, the last general is willing to lead his own troops and horses, take this city, and dedicate it to the king's case." ”

looked at the general who spoke out, this person is also a rising star in the army, born in the guard battalion, named Li Yunlan.

Xiao Jingxuan didn't blame him, and said: "All sins are attributed to me, you are soldiers, just obey." ”

Seeing that Li Yunlan was about to say more, Lei Ben on the side hurriedly pulled Li Yunlan.

Seeing Lei Ben's small movements, Xiao Jingxuan said with a smile: "What is this for?" ”

Then he said to Lei Ben: "Back then, you also asked the same thing, why don't you let others ask." ”

After speaking, Xiao Jingxuan said to Li Yunlan Zhengse: "This is the battle to destroy the country, there is no right or wrong, only victory and defeat." Remember, these people are not of my race, and their hearts will be different. In addition, you are a soldier of the Yan Kingdom, and you have only one duty, and that is to protect the people of the Yan Kingdom. ”

After Xiao Jingxuan finished speaking, he strode out of the front of the battle and returned to the tent.

For the next five days, every day, Xiao Jingxuan would order these patriotic people to attack, and if they did not comply, they would all be killed.

Almost all the young people near Pingcheng were pulled over by Xiao Jingxuan.

Of course, the casualties were huge. At present, almost 100,000 young people have died under the city of Pingcheng.

As for the defenders of Pingcheng, the casualties were not small. Moreover, there are not many defensive materials such as arrows and thunderwood in the city.

Finally, on the tenth day of Xiao Jingxuan's attack, the nobles in Pingcheng finally launched a mutiny after seeing that the general trend had gone.

These nobles rebelled against some of the generals of the royal army, and at the same time added the city guards in their hands. Finally stormed the royal palace and took control of the royal city.

Early the next morning, the gates of Heijo were opened. However, Xiao Jingxuan did not enter the city as soon as possible, but gave an order to let the army in the city go out of the city and surrender.

After surrendering the army of the country and the royal nobles, Xiao Jingxuan slowly led the army into the city.

The first thing he did when he entered the city, Xiao Jingxuan ordered that all those armed people in the city, regardless of men, women, old and young, would be killed. Even the people of the city who were even the slightest disrespectful to the army would be killed.

Regarding Xiao Jingxuan's vague military order, the elite army under his command quickly carried it out.

Among them, the tiger and leopard cavalry is the most, as the trump card in Xiao Jingxuan's hands, the elite selected in each battalion. Most of these soldiers had experienced the conquest of the barbarians. So, soon there was a shout of killing in the city.

After Xiao Jingxuan slowly came to the palace, he looked at the different architectural styles. Xiao Jingxuan frowned slightly.

"Someone, send an order, and transfer Gu Youzhi to Pingcheng immediately."

"Yes, the last general commands."
