Chapter 416: Piercing the heart, sword light and sword shadow
Wearing a black fish-scale armor and pressing the eight-sided Han sword in his hand, Li Xuan held his head high in the morning light, and slowly walked up from the Yongdao to the city gate.
The momentum is majestic.
Qiu Zhenmu and Li Zhu stood five steps behind Li Xuan.
In an instant, closing the shut, countless people's eyes fell on him.
"Your Majesty!" Yan Tao, Zhou Shen, Wang Qin, Feng Hua, and the four of them saluted Li Xuan at the same time.
On the entire city gate tower, countless soldiers bowed to Li Xuan at the same time, and shouted in unison: "Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Your Majesty! ”
"Everyone, please get up!" Li Xuan raised his hand slightly, and the people in front of him straightened up.
Li Xuan turned to look under the city pass.
Two miles away, dense gray-clothed guards spread out along the mountain road.
Thousands of people, placed on this narrow mountain road, can't help but be frightened.
Li Xuan's gaze fell directly on the front of the gray pawn, a middle-aged bearded man wearing black plate armor and a long lance in his hand.
This person is none other than Luo Yongjie, the master of the Tianyin Sect's Muzhou Jiande Branch.
At this moment, Luo Yongjie's eyes were full of grief and indignation when he looked at Li Xuan, and his gaze finally fell on a corpse in the middle of the mountain road.
Wearing a gray robe, he was shot directly through his body with a crossbow arrow, but he still climbed to the middle of the road, but he was nailed to death on the mountain road with a long arrow until Luo Chuan, who bled to death.
Luo Yongjie's adopted son.
"Order, Captain Zhou thwarted the enemy's plan to attack at night, and the credit was reversed."
Li Xuan let out a low snort, and then the voice clearly reached the ears of every soldier present.
"Subordinates receive orders." Wang Qin immediately stepped forward and bowed his hand, and then retreated.
Zhou Shen hurriedly stepped forward: "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”
"King Yingwu!" Many of the soldiers present immediately couldn't help but shout, and their morale was suddenly extremely high.
Li Xuan nodded with satisfaction, and subconsciously looked in the direction of Lanxi.
Wang Bo and Yu Ze are now helping him keep an eye on Lanxi and the back road.
With the two of them here, Lanxi will have endless supplies to Meiling Pass.
Coupled with this high morale, it is foolproof to hold Meiling Pass.
As for those under the city, they are nothing more than walking feats.
……
"Please answer the king of Nanchang County!" Outside the city gate, Luo Yongjie's angry voice was clearly transmitted to the ears of everyone present.
Li Xuan raised her eyebrows, stepped forward, walked behind the female wall, looked at Luo Yongjie in the distance, and asked casually, "What's the matter?" ”
"Doesn't the king of the county think that such a murderous and humiliating person is too much?" Luo Yongjie looked at Li Xuan, gritting his teeth.
"Do you know what it is to rebel and attack the city pass?" Li Xuan looked at Luo Yongjie from afar, and sneered disdainfully: "Raiding the family and exterminating the clan, exile and no official, and even have a very cruel ...... After the defeat of these twenty years ago, didn't Your Excellency already experience it once, so why ask again? ”
As soon as Li Xuan said a word, Luo Yongjie's chest couldn't help but rise and fall.
"Twenty years have passed, and you are still as shameless as ever."
Luo Yongjie couldn't help but curse fiercely, and his eyes looking at Li Xuan were full of incomparable hatred.
"Your Excellency is gracious." Li Xuan said lightly: "Twenty years have passed, and Your Excellency is still as timid as ever; If last night's deception was carried out by Your Excellency, then there would be no need for today's conversation to continue. ”
The eyes of everyone present couldn't help jumping, and they subconsciously looked at Luo Yongjie.
At this moment, Luo Yongjie's fists were clenched tightly, and the person was more like a wounded beast, wanting to pounce directly.
Twenty years ago, it was a very taboo time.
This not only involves the defeat of the Tianyin Sect back then, but also involves a lot of unknown secrets.
Looking at Luo Yongjie's tightly clenched fists, Li Xuan knew in his heart that the truth of the "meteorite falling from the sky" back then brought not only infinite humiliation to the Tianyin Sect, but also incomparable pain.
At this time, Li Xuan opened his mouth again: "Last night, Your Excellency sent this person, didn't you already anticipate the danger in advance, so you asked him to be this substitute ghost?" ”
Scapegoat?
As soon as Li Xuan's words came out, not only did everyone in the city gate look at each other, but even those of the Tianyin Sect couldn't help but stir.
At this time, I saw Luo Yongjie suddenly calm down.
He raised his head and looked at Li Xuan, and said coldly: "I really didn't expect that the King of Nanchang would be a sharp-toothed person. ”
"Your Excellency has an overreputation." Li Xuan looked down calmly and said lightly: "It's not that this king has sharp teeth and sharp mouth, but that Your Excellency has done too many things wrong." ”
"Oh!" Luo Yongjie stared at Li Xuan deadly, and his voice had already resounded clearly in the ears of everyone above and below the city wall.
"First of all, Your Excellency is coming too slowly, if Your Excellency can take this level in this king, then it should be Your Excellency who is standing on it now, and it should be this king if you stand below, it's a pity." Li Xuan's words made Luo Yongjie's head jump for a while.
"It wasn't the seat that stayed here before." Luo Yongjie gritted his teeth, word by word, his eyes had become completely cold.
"This king knows that it is your niece of the queen mother, but unfortunately, this king knows the news a little late, otherwise, if you take her, you can directly send it to the god capital to ask for merit." Li Xuan's body leaned forward slightly, and the first killer shot had been thrown.
Luo Yongjie's breathing suddenly became heavy: "Which soft bone did you ask this from the mouth?" ”
The relationship between Zhang Wanyu, Wen Fuzhi, and Empress Yuan, even in the Tianyin Sect, is a secret that only a few people know, but this time, it was directly broken by Li Xuan.
"Your Excellency!" The corners of Li Xuan's mouth showed a smug smile, then looked at Luo Yongjie, and said softly: "It was just a little rumor before, but now from Your Excellency's mouth, this king has completely got the answer!" ”
Luo Yongjie suddenly felt his heart beat faster.
Li Xuan stood on the city wall, raised his head, looked in the direction of Jiande in the distance, and said softly: "Actually, this king hopes that your sect can send more people over this time, because Your Excellency is too weak...... Such a childish means can only be thought of by a person like Your Excellency. ”
At this moment, Luo Yongjie's eyes instantly turned red.
He pointed one hand in the direction of the city gate and shouted angrily: "Attack, daredevil, destroy him for me." ”
Luo Yongjie gave an order, and the next moment, hundreds of daredevils wearing black leather armor had already rushed out directly.
Hundreds of people, divided into four teams, with a wooden shield in one hand and a long knife in the other, rushed directly towards the city gate.
At this moment, the anger in Luo Yongjie's eyes disappeared without a trace in an instant.
He indifferently ordered to the side: "Archer, aim at the king of Nanchang, and after half an hour, release the arrow!" ”
"Obey!" The guards around him immediately went down quickly to give orders.
……
Li Xuan, who was in the city, suddenly frowned, Luo Yongjie didn't directly send everyone under his command to rush up.
It seems that there is still a bit of brain.
At this time, Li Xuan turned sideways and looked to the side: "Crossbowman, release the arrows immediately, none of these people are allowed to be put under the Guancheng." ”
"Whoa!" Dozens of crossbowmen immediately stepped forward, stood on the battlement, and pulled the trigger without hesitation in the face of the black daredevils below.
Almost in the blink of an eye, all ten bolts in the crossbow box had been fired.
Hundreds of crossbow arrows, like a black locust, fell directly on the heads of the hundred daredevils.
"Ding, ding, ding!" Despite the protection of the wooden shield, a large number of the daredevils below still died immediately.
The powerful power of the crossbow made the shields in the hands of these daredevils suddenly crooked.
It was at this time that the archers who had already been prepared in the back instantly stepped forward, replaced the crossbowmen, and fired accurately at the daredevils below who exposed their shortcomings, slaughtering.
The long arrow shot down from mid-air with extraordinary precision, and then directly tore the throat of a black-clothed daredevil, and blood gushed out even more.
After a large rain of arrows, under the city, less than half of the remaining black-clothed daredevils remained.
Li Xuan looked at all this calmly, although the people of the Tianyin Sect had undergone considerable training, they had not undergone anti-pressure training.
When encountering a strong enemy, the flaws are fully revealed.
Luo Yongjie watched all this calmly, and when the archers on the city wall shot long arrows, he ordered: "Release the arrows!" Shoot the arrows! ”
At the moment when the black-clothed daredevils rushed forward, Luo Yongjie had quietly led people forward for more than a dozen steps, and directly included Li Xuan in the city into the scope of the crossbow arrows.
In an instant, dozens of cold arrows shot straight at the top of the city.
Li Xuan, as well as those archers who did not retreat after releasing their arrows, were immediately threatened by bows and arrows.
It's a pity that there is always a slight delay between the top and bottom, and more than a dozen archers suddenly hide behind the female wall.
"Ding ding ding", among the countless collisions of bows and arrows, there were a few unlucky eggs who were nailed directly to the shoulder with an arrow.
There was even one, very unfortunately, someone who was shot through the throat.
However, at this moment, more bows and arrows in front of him were shooting directly at Li Xuan.
Looking at these bows and arrows in front of him coldly, Li Xuan didn't even take half a step back at all.
It was at this moment that four sword lights flashed at the same time, directly cutting down a large number of long arrows in front of Li Xuan.
The battlement is so big, and there are not many that can shoot through the battlement to Li Xuan's heart.
Yan Tao, Zhou Shen, Qiu Zhenmu, and Li Zhu all stood beside Li Xuan, the four of them were in front and behind, inside and outside, and the four long knives rose at the same time.
In an instant, all the bows and arrows shot at Li Xuan fell to the ground in an instant.
At this moment, a cold arrow suddenly passed through all the knife curtains, and the arrow flew down towards Li Xuan's throat from top to bottom.
This is Luo Yongjie's real killer move.
An arrow bought with countless lives and blood.
Li Xuan glanced at the arrow coldly, and then turned his head to the side hard, and the arrow was tightly pressed against Li Xuan's neck in an instant, and the side grazed straight by.
In an instant, Li Xuan could even feel the incomparably resentful intent on the cold arrow.
Almost.
Just a little bit, the arrow just now could kill Li Xuan, and the fast Yan Tao, Zhou Shen, Qiu Zhenmu, and Li Zhu didn't react at all.
With a "ding" sound, the long arrow had been nailed directly to the stone wall behind Li Xuan.
In an instant, everything in front of him suddenly disappeared, and the empty world reappeared in front of Li Xuan's eyes.
Li Xuan's gaze fell on Luo Yongjie, who was holding a longbow below.
At this time, Luo Yongjie was already preparing to open his bow and shoot arrows again, and make up another arrow towards Li Xuan.
If he doesn't kill him, he will never give up.
"I'm sorry, this king is standing here, no matter how many arrows your Excellency shoots, he can't hit it."
Li Xuan's voice was directly in Luo Yongjie's ears, and it also exploded in the ears of all the Tianyin Sect Guards at the same time.
With a "whoosh" arrow, the long arrow in Luo Yongjie's hand couldn't help but shoot straight out, and then he looked to the side sharply, and said in a low voice: "......Let it go."
A "hum" suddenly sounded in Luo Yongjie's ears.
Countless long arrows shot directly at Luo Yongjie and his archers.
As Luo Yongjie and his archers quietly moved forward, they also fell into the sight of more archers on the city walls.
They can take the opportunity to kill Li Xuan, and Li Xuan can naturally take the opportunity to kill them.
And from top down, they have a greater advantage.
