Chapter 355: The Arrival of the Imperial Army
Huanzhou, Huanyu Capital City, at this moment Li Yuan was talking to Xun Yu about the details of the next preparations, and the guards outside the door came in with an excited face to report:
"Your Highness, Commander Fan is back!"
Li Yuan's eyes lit up when he heard this.
Fan is the leader, Fan is strong, and he is his first subordinate.
And Li Yuan's current guards are all 300 cavalrymen who once brought fiefdoms from Kyoto.
I saw Fan Jianqiang quickly enter the lobby with four figures, and when he saw Li Yuan on the main seat, his eyes were red, and he hurriedly knelt down to greet him:
"Your Highness, the last general has rushed back."
Li Yuan saw that Fan Jianqiang was back, and quickly got up, his face full of joy.
"Great, strong, this king needs you now."
Hearing Li Yuan's unkind words, Fan's strong and resolute face was moved, and His Royal Highness really did not forget himself.
"Your Highness, please!"
Fan Jianqiang knew that he had missed too many things by staying in the Fan family, and he was afraid that His Highness would forget him and ignore him.
Li Yuan kindly helped Fan Jianqiang, patted his thick shoulder, and looked him up and down.
"Be strong, you really lived up to the expectations of this king and successfully broke through the Heavenly Martial Realm!"
"The last general is stupid and wastes too much time." Fan Jianqiang lowered his head and said ashamedly, he should be able to work harder, and he can return to His Highness as soon as possible.
"Haha, just in time." Li Yuan was very happy to see Fan Jianqiang successfully break through the Tianwu Realm, and patted him on the shoulder cordially, and looked at the four people brought by Fan Jianqiang.
An old man from the Fazun Realm, two middle-aged people from the Heavenly Martial Realm, and a young man from the Grandmaster Realm, all of them were very humble behind Fan Jianqiang.
"Be strong, introduce this king to the helper you brought back." Li Yuan looked at the four of them with a smile, and when they entered Huanzhou, Luo Wang had already passed their information to himself.
Fan Jianqiang came to his senses, now is not the time to catch up with His Royal Highness, and hurriedly introduced the old man on the far left, with a hint of respect:
"Your Highness, this is the fourth ancestor of my Fan family."
"Fan Zhiliang of the Fan family, meet His Royal Highness the King of Chu." The Fan family, the fourth ancestor of the Dharma Venerable Realm, bowed to Li Yuan very respectfully, and he did not have the slightest arrogance as a Venerable in the face of Li Yuan.
Even Fan Zhiliang was still a little nervous in his heart, the one in front of him was the king of Chu who owned the land of four states, the prince with the widest territory in the world, and he was also a peerless Tianjiao, who was in the same realm as him.
Under such conditions, which Venerable would dare to despise the King of Chu.
Originally, Fan Sizu and Fan Erzu both planned to support Fan Peng and them to go to Lianzhou, but at that time, King Ming was defeated and Li Yuan was about to dominate the land of Sizhou, so the Fan family immediately changed their minds and let Fan Sizu follow Fan Jianqiang into Huanzhou to join the strength of Chu Wangfu.
"Venerable Fan, look up for a long time!" Li Yuan looked at this mid-stage ancestor of the Dharma Venerable Realm and said very politely.
"Your Highness, these two are the Fan family's worship of Du Liyu and Pang Lei."
When Fan Jianqiang introduced the two of them, they both saluted respectfully:
"Du Liyu (Pang Lei) meets His Highness!"
Du Liyu, a powerhouse in the late stage of the Tianwu Realm.
Pang Lei, a strong man in the middle of Tianwu.
Li Yuan smiled and nodded, "Welcome everyone." ”
The last young disciple, the aura of the Grandmaster in the early stage was a little slow, he should have just broken through the Grandmaster Realm, his face was slightly pale, his body was thin, and at first glance he had a bit of a literati arrogance.
When Fan Jianqiang introduced the last young man, his face was a little embarrassed: "Your Highness, this is the half-brother of the last general, Fan Ruanchi, in the Fan family, he relied on his help to let the last general quickly break through the Tianwu Realm." ”
When Li Yuan looked at him, Fan Ruanchi's face suddenly became extremely excited, his eyes were almost overflowing, he stepped out, directly held Li Yuan's hand, and cried with joy:
"Fan Ruanchi, the grass people, I heard His Highness's sword eyebrows and starry eyes, fresh and handsome, graceful, chic and handsome, calm and elegant, elegant and peaceful, handsome and unwavering, magnificent, graceful, and majestic.................. (Two hundred words omitted here)"
The entire lobby echoed Fan Ruanchi's excited voice.
Du Liyu and Pang Lei were so dumbfounded that they looked at Fan Ruanchi, who was full of witty words and a river of words.
Fan Jianqiang touched his face with his hand, slightly embarrassed, he knew the character of his half-brother, he didn't want to bring him here, the cheap father had to let him take this younger brother.
Fan Sizu's eyes showed a hint of shock, he found out for the first time that Fan Laosi's son was so unwilling............ That's what you can say.
"When I saw it today, His Royal Highness the King of Chu was really extraordinary, at this moment, the hearts of the grass people have only one thought, to serve His Royal Highness the King of Chu, and die without regrets, I, Fan Ruanchi, was born for His Royal Highness! I am............
Eh...... Eh, what are you doing, brother! ”
Seeing that Fan Ruanchi was getting more and more outrageous, Fan Jianqiang finally couldn't help but pull him over.
"Ahem, Your Highness, the last general's younger brother is ...... He ......, "Fan Jianqiang doesn't know how to describe Fan Ruanchi."
"Haha, it's okay, it's okay, this king can see that your younger brother is straightforward, articulate, and a talent." Li Yuan admires Fan Ruanchi very much.
"Look, I'll just say, our Highness is wise and martial, extraordinary, and majestic......"
Fan Ruanchi was praised by Li Yuan, took out a feather fan out of nowhere, and quickly came to Li Yuan's side, fanning the fan with a flattering face.
Li Yuan admired this Fan Ruanchi very much: "Haha, Fan Gongzi, you have the potential to be a lobbyist." ”
"Your Highness, just call the grass people Xiaofan." Fan Ruanchi looked flattering.
"Come on, come on, sit down, this king will introduce, this is Xun Yu, the king's confidant minister."
Li Yuan introduced Xun Yu, who had been smiling lightly.
Although Li Yuan's tone was very casual, Fan Sizu and even Fan Ruanchi suddenly saluted in their hearts:
"Meet Lord Xun!"
Xun Yu, this is the first confidant strategist since the King of Chu entered the fiefdom, he has been sitting in Lingzhou, and the war is imminent, and he was transferred to Huanzhou and sat in the rear, which shows how much the King of Chu trusts him.
"Everyone, ......" Just when Xun Yu wanted to say a few polite words, Zhao Gao's figure suddenly appeared, and there was a hint of peculiarity in his tone:
"Your Highness, Shangguan Zhenyu led 50,000 cavalry to raid Fengding City!"
Fengding City, a major city where Fengzhou and Zhongzhou are connected, is a battleground for soldiers, and Lu Bu and Cheng Yu are guarding to block the imperial army.
But normally, the army led by Shangguan Zhenyu will arrive at least five days, why did it suddenly appear in Fengding City now, and there was no sound at all before.
Li Yuan and Xun Yu's eyes moved.
……………………
Ten miles away from Fengding City, a black cavalry quickly rushed towards Fengding City, the first person was wearing black armor, his face was dark, the breath on this person's body was huge, in this person's huge breath, there was a trace of extremely fierce and crazy killing breath, just like a ferocious beast, covered by cloth, but showing a trace of sharp fangs.
The black iron cavalry is silent, it is the famous phantom iron cavalry commanded by Shangguan Zhenyu, there are a total of 50,000 cavalry here, the phantom iron cavalry bursts out with bright light around the body, and the blue-black light turns into a circle of light that spreads around the body, especially if the horses under their feet have received some kind of blessing, the speed is so fast that it can be called perverted for a while.
The power of the stroke of the entire cavalry surrounds the Phantom Iron Horseman, and the Phantom Iron Rider is like a spirit blending into the wind, and the sound of the horses stepping on the ground is constantly weakened with the help of the wind, and in the chant of the wind, they sprint at great speed on the road.
Although the voice was repeatedly weakened, it was finally seen by the scouts of Fengding City, but by the time these scouts reacted, the Phantom Iron Rider had already left their sight, leaving a cloud of dust and the scouts' horrified eyes.
The top ten generals of the Dayu Dynasty each have a characteristic, and Shangguan Zhenyu has three characteristics:
Violent! Fast! Just!
In the Imperial War more than 20 years ago, Shangguan Zhenyu led 200,000 phantom iron horsemen to attack thousands of miles, and entered the territory of the Fengyu Dynasty.
Let the hairs on the back of the generals who attacked the Dayu Dynasty outside stand up, tremble in fear, and quickly return to defense.
When Shangguan Zhenyu withdrew his troops, he suffered from the cooperation of various forces of the Fengyu Dynasty, and all the armies in the Dynasty were encircled and suppressed, and Shangguan Zhenyu led 200,000 phantom iron cavalry all the way out of the encirclement and ran back to the Dayu Dynasty.
When he returned to the Yu Dynasty, he was already covered with scars, dying, less than 30,000 of the 200,000 army left, the dynasty helped him find a large number of natural treasures, healing medicine, has been recuperating in Kyoto.
At this time, on the city of Fengding, thousands of farmers and craftsmen were busy on the city wall, doing a good job of defense, and one by one the generals walked around the city wall, issuing orders one by one, and a team of soldiers quickly fired oil, gold juice, and rolled wood...... Advance to the head of the city and prepare for defense.
From time to time, the eyes of those generals who were supervising looked at the fiery red and sturdy figure on the tall building, revealing a look of worship.
Lu Bu!
The number one fierce general under the command of the King of Chu!
"Fengxian, this time we must defend first, the purpose is not to defeat the imperial army, but to prevent the imperial army from entering Fengzhou, and cooperate with Lord Li to govern Fengzhou, and the various forces in Fengzhou and Yizhou will slowly send people to support here."
On the city wall, Cheng Yu persuaded Lu Bu bitterly, fearing that Lu Bu would be excited during the battle, so he ran out to chase and kill the enemy general.
"Zhongde, don't worry, I have my own measure!"
Lu Bu played with the extremely thick and exquisite Fang Tian painting halberd, the black halberd shaft was densely covered with fish scale-like patterns, and the halberd blade was extremely thick and exquisite.
Cheng Yu smiled bitterly, he was afraid of Lu Bu like this.
Lu Bu glanced at Cheng Yu, didn't care about his expression at all, and continued to play with Fang Tian's halberd.
Suddenly, Lu Bu's eyes flashed, and he suddenly looked in the direction of the city gate.
"Report, the scouts just found traces of enemy troops ten miles away!"
At this time, the messengers rushed up to the city tower at great speed.
"Drums, they're already here!"
Lu Bu's eyes flashed with a hint of evil, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly, he had already sensed that an extremely amazing momentum was coming here in the distance.
Cheng Yu's face turned pale.
"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"
The rapid sound of drums shook the sky.
Swish!
On the Fengding city wall, tens of thousands of farmers and craftsmen suddenly stopped, and looked nervously at the generals on the tall buildings.
"Everyone obey the order, immediately alert, enemy attack!" The general next to him did not hesitate at all, and the sound was like a meteorite falling, instantly setting off waves in the sky above Fengding City.
"Quick! Fast! Farmers and craftsmen quickly descend the city wall to take refuge! When the commanders who were overseeing everywhere heard the sound of the warning drums, they reacted instantly, calling them down the tower.
The cold horn sounded, and the soldiers under the city tower were awakened, and the vigorous body of an elite soldier under the city tower quickly rushed up to the city wall, and the squads advanced in an orderly manner, advancing and retreating in one, there were sword and shield hands, spearmen, and swordsmen, and the sword and shield hands were pressed in the forefront, and the cloud iron shield was covered with a thick layer of animal skin, and the body was slightly bowed, and the shield was raised high in front of him, and his hands and body were against the shield.
Behind them was a line of pikemen, two long spears of great sharpness peeking out of the gap between their swords and shields, and behind them, rows of archers with arrows in their hands, their bows clenched, ready to fire.
The peasants and craftsmen had already put down their tasks, and one by one they turned pale and hurried towards the city.
But now there was a shake outside the city gates!
Boom, the earth roared, the vibration sound became louder and louder, but in a few breaths, everyone heard a fierce neighing of horses from the wind, between the lightning and stone fire, the earthquake trembled, and tens of thousands of iron horsemen appeared in the sight of the city gate, bursting out of a heavy breath like a mountain, like a mountain and a sea, rushing towards Fengding City.
The newly established fortifications on the city wall are a little shaky, there are no fixed tools to collapse, and what is even more terrifying is that the farmers and craftsmen on the tower of Fengding City have not yet evacuated, and the soldiers are not ready.
"Buzz!"
Suddenly, the Phantom Iron Rider in the distance outside the city exploded like thunder!
With a piercing roar, thousands of dense arrows rained down like a tide, whistling and shooting towards the army at the head of the city!
At that moment, the void seemed to be torn apart.
The long empty marks dragged out behind those arrows are enough to prove the power contained in these arrows!
Rumble!
Tens of thousands of arrows burst through the air and burst from all directions, covering the walls in the terrified eyes of the soldiers!
It's so fast!
Just a few seconds from the appearance of the enemy army, their sharp arrows have been fired!
"Buzz!"
At this moment, Lu Bu's whole body was filled with evil qi, and the momentum in the middle of the Dharma Venerable Realm suddenly exploded, and the endless torrent of Gang Qi was mighty, like an endless dragon, circling back and forth in the sky, filling every corner of the city wall, enveloping the entire city gate!
In an instant, all the arrows were smashed into pieces and turned into iron filings in the sky!
Lu Bu, who stood still in the fall of iron filings from the sky, was like a god, setting people's hearts and becoming the backbone of everyone's hearts.
Outside the city gate, the hooves of the war horses were clattering, and Shangguan Zhenyu, who was at the forefront, had a piercing gaze, staring at Lu Bu who was incomparably dazzling on the high-rise building, and the corners of his mouth were raised!
"Buzz!"
In the next second, without the slightest warning, in the eyes of Cheng Yu and the defenders of the city gate, on the ground, a deep shadow suddenly burst out, surging towards Fengding City like a tide. In just an instant, those phantom iron riders seemed to be coated with a layer of mysterious black mist, and they seemed to merge with each other, and suddenly became unrecognizable.
"Broken City!"
Shangguan Zhenyu's deep voice echoed in this world like a thunderstorm, and the true yuan of his whole body was boiling!
Hum, the void trembled, and the aura of the 50,000 iron horsemen behind him was like a hundred rivers entering the sea, connected into one, and in the sky above the legion, a huge broadsword phantom with a height of 100 zhang evolved.
That broadsword was huge, and the blade was so sharp that it seemed to be able to split the heavens and the earth.
And in the handle of the knife, it was Shangguan Zhenyu, and I saw the big knife in Shangguan Zhenyu's hand slashing down!
In an instant, the murderous aura rippled for dozens of miles, and the entire Fengding was surrounded by a murderous aura in the sky.
The huge broadsword phantom condensed into reality, bursting out with a dazzling brilliance, like a cold moon, cold and piercing!
The dazzling silver covered the sky and the sun, and all the power was restrained in the blade, leaving only the sharpness of the knife and the blade like the moon.
Although it is a day, the sun and the moon shine together.
Slash down on Fengding City!
In an instant, the murderous aura swept through the sky, and the terrifying killing machine locked on everyone on the city tower, and everyone felt as if they were tightly surrounded by countless blades, not to mention the soldiers on the city wall, not to mention action, even breathing felt extremely unsmooth, and they were terrified!
"Interesting, I finally found something that qualifies me to be my opponent!"
"Haha!"
An unruly voice resounded in the sky, the fiery red figure suddenly rushed out of the city tower, Lu Bu laughed three times, and rushed forward against the giant knife that slashed over, and swept the halberd of Fang Tian in his hand fiercely, there was no rule, it was just a force to break ten thousand laws!
At this moment, the halberd blade burst out with an incomparably dazzling red brilliance, like a round of sun, a round of blazing sun, the terrifying evil aura was overwhelming, and the sky was dyed blood-red!
The sky is divided into two, one side is the cold light of Yinhua, and the other side is the bloody red light!
Rumble!
The collision of the two sides formed a terrifying storm, the storm swept all over the sky, and for a time the sun and moon were silent, and the space was like a tumbling wave.
The huge broadsword exploded in an instant, turning into a cold stream of countless blades!
At the same time, the fiery red figure flew out upside down and slammed into the city wall............ (End of chapter)
