Chapter 197 Under the Ghost Valley Gate

When the sun was half over, a group of personal soldiers walked out of the camp and slowly advanced towards Diqiu City behind the siege equipment.

At present, the Qin army occupies an absolute advantage in strength, and attacking the city does not need too many tricks at all, just need to break it with strength.

In the sound of the snare drums, the Qin army lined up, marching neatly to the moat of Diqiu City, and the siege vehicles formed by combining the mechanical techniques of this era slowly put down the pontoon bridges and set up passages in the moat.

And the defenders of Diqiu City were not idle, rockets were shot out from the city wall, trying to ignite the pontoon bridge of the Qin army, and in the Qin army's military array, one of the heavy siege crossbows had been pushed up and down, and with the cooperation of the arrow array, the defenders of Diqiu City were pressed to the wall and did not dare to show their heads, and the so-called plan to burn the Qin army's pontoon bridge with rockets could no longer be implemented.

With a series of siege ladders with pulleys being erected under the city of Diqiu City, the most tragic siege battles in the war really reached the point of hand-to-hand combat.

For a time, the boulder rolling wood fell from the city wall like splashing water, smashing the Qin soldiers from the siege ladder one by one, the light ones were disabled, and the heavy ones were directly killed.

And the Qin army can not only be beaten passively, the archers who have advanced to the city are also waiting with their bows, with the cooperation of the arrow array in the distance, the arrows rain one after another, and the defenders of Diqiu City have to pay the price of blood and life every time they throw out a boulder and every rolling log.

The tragedy is for Shuangmen, but unfortunately the defenders of Diqiu do not have the fierceness of the Qin army, as Yang Ming said before, although Diqiu City is strong, but it is only the city wall, and the city needs people to defend it, if the people's hearts are not strong, no matter how strong the city is, it is just a rotten shell.

Under the strong attack of the Qin army, when corpses appeared on the city wall, when blood dominated the sight of the defenders of Diqiu City, when blood dominated their sense of smell, and when wailing dominated their sense of hearing, their reason and mentality were constantly being destroyed and gradually collapsing.

In the middle of the Qin army's main formation, Wang Jian looked at Diqiu City, a look of thought appeared between his eyebrows, and he turned to Yang Ming and said, "Gongsun Yu, the general of the Patriotic State, doesn't seem to be on the city wall."

"How so?" Yang Ming asked.

In Yang Ming's grasp of the information, Gongsun Yu is just a master of swordsmanship, with a very famous disciple and a granddaughter who is alluring to the country and the city, as for the other ......

In front of him, it seemed that from Wang Qian's words, Gongsun Yu was extremely extraordinary, at least it would never be as simple as just a kendo master.

"Before I was thirty years old, I spent ten years traveling the world, and I also set foot in this land of defending the country, although Gongsun Yu is not well-known in the world, but whether it is swordsmanship or the art of war, he is a first-class figure in the world, I have asked him for swordsmanship, this person's swordsmanship vaguely has the shadow of the swordsmanship under the Guigu Gate." Wang Jian recalled.

"Swordsmanship? Since Zhang Yi returned to seclusion and Su Qin died in Qi State, the people of Guigumen are not visible, could it be that Gongsun Yu is a disciple cultivated by Zhang Yi after returning to seclusion? Yang Ming was surprised.

In Yang Ming's ears, he often heard about the Guigu lineage, but it was the first time that such a living person appeared in front of him.

Yang Ming flipped through the memories in his mind, at this time it was already the sixth year of Qin Wangzheng, and the contemporary Guigu heirs, even Gai Nie and Wei Zhuang were about to have a teacher trial, if Gongsun Yu was also a descendant of the Guigu lineage, then it could only be Gai Nie and Wei Zhuang's uncle.

In this way, the contemporary Guiguzi is the descendant of the previous generation of horizontal swords, and since Gongsun Yu has become the general of the small country of Weiguo, he naturally failed in the competition, as for why he did not die like the predecessors of the previous Guigu sect, there is no need to delve too deeply, after all, in the future, there will be a similar situation.

It's just that if Gongsun Yu was a disciple of the previous generation of Guigu, it might have caused a small accident in this war, but it was just a small accident.

As for martial arts, although it is a unique sword in the world, it is a unique sword in the world, but in front of the upright army, the role it can play is limited after all.

"Perhaps, Gongsun Yu alone was already a first-class peak kendo master fifteen years ago, and now fifteen years have passed, although it is no longer at the peak of the year, but it is not impossible to break through, a kendo master, although it is not enough to determine the success or failure of a war, but it can be said that a war has many uncertain variables." Wang Jian said.

"If Gongsun Yu is really as extraordinary as you say, then he should be behind the city gate by now, and he has already gathered a team of elites, and is preparing to attack, waiting for an opportunity to attack." Yang Ming groaned.

"The morale of Emperor Hill City is undefensible, if you can win a small victory, you can have a little more confidence to stay together." Wang Jian said.

If it was in front of others, Wang Jian might hide it, but in front of Yang Ming, he didn't have to, because he was able to get the opportunity in front of him precisely because of Yang Ming.

Yang Ming asked Wang Jian to be his lieutenant, but he didn't want Wang Jian to hide his clumsiness.

"In this case, it may not be an opportunity for us, the morale in Emperor Hill City is difficult to defend, Gongsun Yu wants to boost morale with a surprise attack, we can also take this opportunity to completely destroy the already small morale of the defenders of Emperor Hill City." Yang Ming said.

But time didn't seem to give Yang Ming more chances, the closed gate of Emperor Qiu City was opened in an instant, and a group of cavalry rushed out of the city, directly killing the attacking Qin army by surprise.

I saw that the person at the head was a veteran, and a long sword in his hand turned into a blood-red angry dragon, flying up and down, the Qin army did not have his enemy, and in the blink of an eye, the Qin army near the city gate was directly killed by him.

Under the leadership of the veteran, more than 500 elite horsemen came towards the main formation of the Qin army where Yang Ming was located.

"The old guy is still ambitious." Yang Ming looked at Gongsun Yu, who was in the lead, and said without fluctuating his gaze.

"The Vertical and Horizontal Family's 100-step flying sword is a killer move in the current world of swordsmanship." Wang Jian reminded.

"So, we can't let him kill us within a hundred paces?" Yang Ming asked rhetorically.

"If that's the case, it's suspicious." Wang Jian replied.

With the veteran general leading five hundred elite cavalry outside the city to charge and kill the Qin army, the defenders of Diqiu City were really demoralized, and they were able to suppress the Qin army besieging the city for a while.

"The opportunity is rare, since he dares to come out, I dare to leave him behind, although the defenders of Diqiu City are unusable, but after all, the city is high and deep, and if you want to capture it, you still have to pay a lot of casualties, and now there is an opportunity to completely disintegrate the defenders of Diqiu City, if you let it go, it will be a pity." As he spoke, Yang Ming had already lifted the Canglong Heavenly Halberd that was inserted on the ground.

"General Zuo, Gongsun Yu's martial arts are unfathomable, and it may even be the realm of the grandmaster, don't be careless, just send a large army to surround and kill it, why do you need General Zuo to personally take risks." Wang Jian hurriedly dissuaded.

Yang Ming's martial arts are certainly strong, but in Wang Qian's opinion, Yang Ming's martial arts are still in the first-class realm, and he has never set foot in the grandmaster realm.

And right now, the Qin army occupies an absolute advantage, so why let his main general go into danger, it is the right way to come steadily, even if Gongsun Yu is a grandmaster, what can he do, in the face of 50,000 Qin army elites, even the grandmaster has to be hated.

But Yang Ming obviously didn't think so.

So.

"General Wang guards the main formation, and I will take Gongsun Yu." Yang Ming said to the left and right, he had already urged his horse to step forward, and half of the three thousand Central Army guards around Yang Ming followed Yang Ming.

On the other hand, under the heavy pressure of the Qin army, Gongsun Yu, who was becoming more and more difficult to kill, had already planned to accept it as soon as he saw it, but when he saw that the main general of the Qin army actually took the initiative to go into battle and leave the army, he suddenly realized that there was an opportunity to solve the crisis of defending the country.

If you can take the opportunity to kill the main general of the Qin army......

In a moment, in the face of the huge temptation, Gongsun Yu had already made up his mind, as for Yang Ming's own force, Gongsun Yu didn't think too much about it, he had enough confidence in his martial arts, even if Yang Ming had the record of killing Zhu Hai, the general of Wei, in the front, it was the same.

It's just that this time I'm going to break my oath after all, and as a price, it's my life. Thinking of the oath he had made in front of his master and senior brother, a hideous look appeared on Gongsun Yu's face, it was a kind of dead air, it was a dead air against the enemy, and it was also a dead air against himself.

The eyes of the commanders of the two armies collided together at a distance that crossed the space, and at that moment, both Yang Ming and Gongsun Yu saw each other's thoughts.

Gongsun Yu greeted, and a young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes around him closely guarded him, helping Gongsun Yu to kill out of the encirclement of the Qin army, and layer after layer of the Qin army that was surrounding Gongsun Yu's department was struggling to stop Gongsun Yu's department, Gongsun Yu and several people around him were superb in swordsmanship, but the remaining cavalry could only be regarded as an ordinary elite, and under the siege of the Qin army, they were constantly attrition.

One by one, the horses of the cavalry were broken by the Qin army's Changge, and their bodies were pierced by the Qin army's spears.

In Yang Ming's sight, only Gongsun Yu was left, in his sight, from the time he came out of the city gate, Gongsun Yu, who had a long sword in his hand, no longer used his sword, but was shielded by a few masters around him to protect the attack from the Qin army.

But Gongsun Yu, who no longer shot, is even more terrifying, his non-shot is for the next lore blow, he is accumulating momentum, once the momentum is full, the next blow will inevitably be a shock.

Under the Guigu Gate, the sword is passed on, and the sword is attacked, in order to seek the truth, and think it is closed.

At this time, Yang Ming was already able to be sure that Gongsun Yu must be the successor of the previous generation of swords under the Guigu Sect.

Flying sword in 100 steps?

Yang Ming and the thousands of guards around him rushed straight to Gongsun Yu's department in a fan shape, a trace of vitality was diffused around Yang Ming's body, Yang Ming hung the Canglong Heavenly Halberd on the horse, and three points returned to the vitality, which was still more suitable for bare hands.

Between Yang Ming and Gongsun Yu, the collision of the three-point return vitality and the hundred-step flying sword, which is stronger and which is weaker?
