Chapter 493: What the sword blade is pointing to is the direction

After the long sword pierced through the giant, it hovered in mid-air, and then began to tremble violently, then turned around and smashed towards the merging stage powerhouse in the main array.

The strong man in the fit period crossed his legs and knees, and his hands were quickly sealed, dazzling.

As his seal changed, he saw runes emerge one after another, and then rise upwards and overlap one after another, but each of them operated according to different trajectories.

The next moment, the long sword fell directly, wrapped in wind, thunder and flames, and smashed on those runes.

"Click!"

There was a crisp sound, like the sound of glass breaking, and I saw all the runes directly shatter and scatter in all directions.

Li Xiuping raised his hand and flipped it, and countless long swords appeared out of thin air, and then converged towards the giant sword, constantly superimposed on the giant sword.

At the location where the strong man of the merge period was, the entire ground exploded directly, and the giant sword also directly suppressed it, and it was dusty for a while, and it was impossible to see the situation in the field at all.

The dust just lifted up, and then it spread straight out in all directions, and soon disappeared without a trace.

On the ground, everything was the same as before, and the strong man in the merger period was still sitting cross-legged, with the seal knot in his hand, but the long swords driven by Li Xiuping had disappeared.

The next moment, I saw that the body of this strong man in the merger period trembled slightly, and then a mouthful of blood spurted out, and the look on his face quickly dimmed, and a pair of eyes looked at Li Xiuping with disbelief, and his lips moved, as if he wanted to say something.

As soon as Li Xiuping raised his hand, a long sword appeared from his body, and then disappeared from Li Xiuping's side, and the body of the strong man in the merge period burned with raging flames, and those flames seemed to burst out from the inside out.

In just an instant, a Merge Stage powerhouse was reduced to ashes in the flames!

Li Xiuping did not kill all the seriously injured strong men, his body just disappeared in place and continued to go north.

Those strong people just looked at Li Xiuping who was far away, and none of them stopped him.

Li Xiuping passed all the way, and he was unstoppable, but he himself was not easy, and his mood was heavy.

The situation here is far more complicated than he imagined, this is just an obstacle to the north, the other party has obviously not done its best, the real obstacle is when going south.

Even if he really saw Xu Bansheng, if he wanted to take Xu Bansheng south, it would inevitably be more difficult than now.

But he had to do it, and whoever it was, he didn't want to stop him......

……

Cangshan City.

A small city, but at the moment there are tens of thousands of troops besieging it, and not even a fly can fly.

The entire Cangshan City has been besieged for three whole months, and in these three months, Cangshan City has completely cut off contact with the outside world.

At this moment, a young man in white armor climbed the city tower and looked at the army stationed outside the city, his face expressionless.

Xu Bansheng didn't expect that he would lead three thousand elite soldiers to the north this time, and the road would be unimpeded, but after entering Cangshan City, the entire Cangshan City would become a Jedi overnight.

He didn't know what was going on outside, but he could guess the other party's purpose.

The Xia Dynasty was nothing more than using him as bait, leading the Zhou Dynasty to send troops to rescue, and then setting up an ambush in the middle of the road, so as to reduce the military strength of the Zhou Dynasty, otherwise the opponent's ten times his strength, it would be impossible to take a full three months to capture a small Cangshan City.

Xu Bansheng asked, "Is there anything unusual?" ”

One of the generals defending the city replied: "After launching a surprise attack the night before, until now, there has been no movement. ”

The general then added, "It's clear that these guys don't really want to take the city, they want to trap us here. ”

Xu Bansheng nodded and asked, "How much grain and grass is there in the city?" ”

The general shook his head and said: "At most, it can only last for two days, and it is all left over from the brothers tightening their belts, and almost all the war horses that can be killed have been killed, so many people have secretly left the city, but the other party has not surrendered, and all ......"

Xu Bansheng nodded and said, "When we first came, we already knew that this trip would be a lifetime, and now the situation is just expected, but we can't sit still like this." ”

The general was stunned, not quite understanding what he meant.

Now that the army is surrounding Cangshan City, the water is impassable, and the other party does not accept surrender, what other way is there except to wait for death?

Xu Bansheng glanced at the sky, and then said: "Pay close attention to the movement outside, report any abnormalities at any time, after dark, let all the brothers eat and drink enough, and let's kill them overnight." ”

The general was a little stunned, but he didn't say anything more, just nodded.

The disparity in strength is so huge, and now it can still survive in this city, once it leaves this Cangshan City, it will be the target of those soldiers of the Xia Dynasty, even if it attacks overnight, even if this team has amazing combat strength, it will never be possible to break out of the encirclement of the Xia Dynasty's army.

But now there seems to be no other way than that.

Since they are all dead, instead of waiting for death in this city, it is better to kill a few more Xia people while there is still a breath now.

After Xu Bansheng finished speaking, he sat down on the spot, leaning against the pier of the city tower, looking at the sky, as if thinking about something.

After a while, Xu Bansheng asked, "Do you have anyone you like?" ”

The general was stunned for a moment, then shook his head.

Xu Bansheng smiled and said, "It's okay if you don't have it, otherwise you really don't want to die." ”

The general hesitated, but he should have felt that he had to fight with Xia Ren anyway, so he asked, "Does the general miss Your Majesty?" ”

Xu Bansheng said with a smile: "I think about it every day, but I don't have it today." ”

The general was stunned.

Xu Bansheng said quietly: "I don't know why, what I think about the most today is actually a brother of mine?" ”

The general asked, "Senior brother of the Huayang Sect?" ”

Xu Bansheng nodded and said, "Sort of, but that guy was expelled from Huayang Sect, and after that, he did a lot of earth-shattering things, but he ...... Just ......"

It's just something, he didn't say it for a long time, and then sighed: "That's it, anyway, we can meet soon, and we have to have a few drinks then." ”

He looked at the general, as if to show off, and said, "You know what? That brother of mine is really good, and if he knew I was trapped here, he would have come to my rescue. ”

The general nodded.

Xu Bansheng said with a smile: "But if you really want to die, I really don't want him to come, it's too embarrassing." ”

The general still didn't speak, so Xu Bansheng seemed to be talking to himself, talking and talking, but he fell asleep like this.

The general sighed, took off his cloak, and covered the general.

He knew that Xu Bansheng, since Xu Bansheng came to the army, he had been following this general who was born in Xianmen, but joined the army, fought in the south and the north, and fought many famous battles, several times this general turned the tide with his own strength, and at least half of the brothers in their army were rescued from the pile of dead by this General Xu.

So when they knew that General Xu was going north to assassinate the emperor of the Xia Dynasty, they knew that they would definitely die on this trip, but they still chose to follow, which was nothing more than to return this life to this General Xu.

It was also this time that they learned that the reason why this General Xu gave up his cultivation and joined the army was because of his Majesty the Empress, and at that time they also felt that only a character like General Xu was worthy of their Majesty the Empress.

In their eyes, this General Xu is the god of war, a fairy figure who will never get tired, let alone fall. But now he knows that this General Xu is actually tired, and like them ordinary people, he will like a girl very much, and will even give up everything for that girl, including his life.

It turned out that this General Xu didn't close his eyes for a few days and nights, and he would be so tired that he would fall asleep, and when he was about to die, he would also nag some people and things that he couldn't let go......

The general spoke: "General, I, Yang Yun, can go to the battlefield with you in this life, and I have no regrets." ”

After speaking, he looked at the army outside the city, and his eyes were full of determination and determination.

The sun sets in the west, and night falls.

Xu Bansheng, who had been sleeping soundly, seemed to wake up suddenly from a dream, and the first thing he did when he woke up was to turn around and look at the situation outside the city.

After discovering that there were no anomalies, I breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, the general came over and said, "General, are you awake?" ”

Xu Bansheng asked, "What time is it?" ”

The general replied, "It's just past three o'clock." ”

Xu Bansheng patted his head and blamed himself: "I almost missed the right thing." ”

The general said: "The general's order has been delivered, and the brothers are ready, just waiting for the general's order." ”

Xu Bansheng looked at the general and asked, "Your name is Yang Yun?" ”

Yang Yun was stunned for a moment and nodded.

Xu Bansheng sighed: "If you don't follow me, you should be able to be knighted and worship the prime minister in the future, and you won't regret it later?" ”

Yang Yun said with a smile: "If you can't follow the general, then you will regret it." ”

Xu Bansheng smiled slightly and said, "From today onwards, we will be brothers." ”

Yang Yun was stunned again.

Xu Bansheng had already walked down the city tower, and Yang Yun could only follow.

Under the tower, the soldiers, who were now less than 3,000 people, were already waiting, all whispering something.

Xu Bansheng walked all the way to the front of this army, then pulled a bench, stood up, and said loudly: "It was I Xu Bansheng who brought you out, but I can't bring you back. ”

Everyone said in unison, "We are not afraid. ”

Xu Bansheng smiled and said, "Yes, they are all good." Since you want to die, you must also die vigorously, and let these Xia people know that my Zhou people are by no means something they can easily conquer. ”

He drew the long sword in his hand and said loudly: "The generals listen to the order, and the direction of the sword is the direction." ”

Everyone shouted in unison: "Where the sword is pointing, it is the direction." ”

Xu Bansheng continued: "Open the city gate!" ”

The south gate opened directly, and a gust of night wind blew in, rolling up the yellow sand of the battlefield.

"Kill!"

With a finger of the long sword in Xu Bansheng's hand, the army rushed out directly towards the outside of the southern city, like a rushing river in the night.

It's just that as soon as these checkmates left the city, countless arrows rained down, and then the soldiers in front fell directly, and the soldiers in the back stepped on the corpses of their comrades and continued to move forward to meet the next wave of arrows......
