Chapter 494: The Battle of the World, the Battle of the Monks
Xu Bansheng took the lead, relying on the long sword in his hand to open the way for the army behind him, but as he continued to move forward, it was difficult for him to take care of the whole army by himself, so although the whole team continued to rush forward to kill, it was already suffering heavy casualties at this moment.
Xu Bansheng didn't dare to look back, he was afraid that he would hesitate as soon as he turned around, so although he could feel that the soldiers behind him were constantly falling, as long as he didn't see it with his own eyes, he could firm his heart to continue to move forward.
The Xia Dynasty didn't seem to expect this army to break through, and it didn't react for a while, so the first line of defense was quickly broken through, but as Xu Bansheng and others arrived at the second line of defense, they began to encounter strong resistance, and there were armies around them that continued to surround and re-encircle this army.
With Xu Bansheng's strength realm, it is naturally not difficult to leave, but he is the commander of this army, it is impossible to leave these soldiers and escape by himself, not to mention that since the Xia Dynasty has set up this situation, I am afraid that in addition to this army that surrounds them, there are many cultivators in secret.
As the army closed in, it began to charge in formation, constantly shrinking the encirclement.
At this moment, even if Xu Bansheng was a half-step Yuanying powerhouse, it was impossible to break out of the encirclement, unless he didn't care about the life and death of those soldiers.
In the face of the rush of the army of the Xiang Dynasty, the team led by Xu Bansheng fought bloodily, and then kept falling, and the already small number of people decreased at a terrible speed.
The battle completely became a one-sided situation, and the army of the Xia Dynasty relied on its numerical superiority to continuously consume the combat power of Xu Bansheng's army with crowd tactics.
The entire ground had been completely stained red with blood, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood, and even the moon in mid-sky seemed to be reflected in the color of blood red.
Several generals walked up to Xu Bansheng and said, "General, you go first, with your strength, it shouldn't be difficult to break through." ”
Xu Bansheng shook his head and said, "If I can't take you out, then I, Xu Bansheng, will die with you for the rest of my life." ”
Those generals seemed to want to say something more, but Xu Bansheng preemptively said: "Since the other party has already planned, it must have been arranged, even if I really leave you alone, I'm afraid I won't be able to break through." ”
Xu Bansheng smiled and said: "If you die, I, Xu Bansheng, will naturally die." ”
He turned his head to look at the army in front of him, and said proudly: "But even if you die, you have to pull a few cushions." ”
As he spoke, he tore off the robe on his body, shook the long sword in his hand, and said, "Defend in formation, let these Xia people know that if they want to eat us, they must first break a few teeth." ”
As soon as the words fell, the army no longer continued suddenly, but changed its formation, focusing on defense.
At this time, the army of the Xia Dynasty rushed to kill, but this round of killing did not cause huge losses to this army as before, on the contrary, this round of killing of the Xia Dynasty was almost completely annihilated.
However, the Xia Dynasty did not stop attacking, and as the Lingqi waved, another round of charging and killing continued, again and again.
Under such a constant impact, both sides suffered heavy losses, and I don't know how long it took, the team led by Xu Bansheng had nearly three thousand people, and there were only a few hundred left at the moment.
On the ground, the corpses of the soldiers of the Xia Dynasty and the soldiers of the Zhou Dynasty were piled up, and it was impossible to distinguish who was who.
These corpses are like a small mountain at the moment, and Xu Bansheng's group of people are standing on top of this corpse mountain.
The army of the Xia Dynasty was still charging, and then became part of the Mountain of Corpses.
This kind of battle lasted until the next morning, and the Xia Dynasty should have felt that the losses in such a battle were too serious, or it may have felt that the remaining people on the other side were no longer threatening, so they actually stopped attacking.
Xu Bansheng was covered in blood, holding a gun in one hand and a sword in the other, standing on top of the corpse mountain, looking ahead.
The red sun is rising, the light is brilliant, but it is like the sunset.
The original team of nearly 3,000 people, only a few dozen people were left at the moment, and they were all covered in blood when they stood with Xu Bansheng.
Xu Bansheng's eyes were blood-red, and he said loudly: "Come on!" ”
Under the mountain of corpses, countless soldiers of the Xia Dynasty were holding weapons, and they were constantly retreating at this moment.
For Xu Bansheng, they naturally heard that it was the undefeated god of war of the Xia Dynasty, and the previous wars were all because of this person, which caused the Xia Dynasty to suffer heavy losses.
Although they hadn't seen those rumors, they personally participated in today's battle, and that Zhou people were really like a victory.
With a loud shout, scaring off the entire Xia Dynasty army, Xu Bansheng stuck his spear on the corpse mountain and laughed.
A Xia general rode forward on a war horse, and the Xia soldiers moved out of the way.
This person walked all the way to the bottom of the corpse mountain, looked up at the few remaining Zhou Dynasty soldiers on the corpse mountain, and said: "It is worthy of the elite of the Great Zhou, worthy of General Xu, with less than 3,000 people, I can make my army suffer such heavy losses, even if General Xu dies, there should be no regrets." ”
Xu Bansheng said with a smile: "My big Zhou Erlang is like this, although I Xu Bansheng is dead today, he will also have Zhao Bansheng and Hu Bansheng in the future, your Xia Dynasty wants to go south, wishful thinking!" ”
The general of the Xia Dynasty smiled and said, "Whether it is wishful thinking or not, General Xu should not be able to see it." To tell the truth, a character like General Xu really makes Zai admire, but it's a pity that the death order was given from above, and General Xu will definitely die today. ”
After that, he saluted Xu Bansheng and said, "This salute respects General Xu of the Zhou Dynasty, not the monk Xu Bansheng." ”
After speaking, he raised his right hand with the horsewhip, and the Xia Dynasty army around him suddenly raised their crossbows and pointed at a few people on the corpse mountain.
As the Xia Dynasty descended, his right hand fell, and countless arrows suddenly rained down.
Xu Bansheng stood on top of the corpse mountain, looking at the rain of arrows that covered the sky and the sun, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't speak.
Then he closed his eyes, and did not use the true qi in his body to resist the rain of arrows.
Under such a dense rain of arrows, in fact, even if he used the already small amount of true qi in his body, he was afraid that he would not be able to stop it.
Xu Bansheng just didn't expect that he would die in a foreign country in the end, on such a battlefield, under ten thousand arrows.
He has been practicing in Huayang Sect since he was a child, and what he has been exposed to since he was a child is the things of the cultivation world, and what he yearns for is naturally the cultivation of immortals, not the fame on the battlefield, but his end point is actually on the battlefield in this mortal world.
He also thought about making a name for himself in the cultivation world like Li Xiuping, but for the sake of the woman named Zhou Xueying, he chose a completely different path, gave up his identity as a cultivator, and became a descendant of the Zhou Dynasty's army.
He has no regrets about such a choice.
Xu Bansheng smiled slightly and calmly accepted death.
However, Xu Bansheng did not die, all the soldiers of the Zhou Dynasty standing on the corpse mountain did not die, at the moment when those arrow rains were about to fall on the corpse mountain, they suddenly stopped, and then all the arrow rain burned, but in an instant, they all turned into ashes and dissipated between heaven and earth.
I don't know when a huge Dan furnace formed by flames appeared, encompassing the entire corpse mountain, as well as Xu Bansheng and others.
On the Xia Dynasty's side, whether it was those soldiers or the general, they were all frowning at the moment.
Above the corpse mountain, the air fluctuated, and a figure slowly emerged.
It was a young man, dressed in a gray robe, with a flask hanging from his waist.
This young man seems to have traveled a long way, and at this moment, his body is dusty, and he seems to have experienced countless battles, and the robes on his body are more broken, and his eyes are actually a little blood-red.
That blood redness is not because of anger, but the result of not closing your eyes for many days.
The person who came was Li Xiuping.
Li Xiuping looked at Xu Bansheng below, and finally breathed a sigh of relief, and finally caught up.
Xu Bansheng also opened his eyes at this moment, looking at the young man who appeared above, his expression was a little incredulous, and he even felt that he was dreaming.
Li Xiuping smiled and said, "Senior Brother Xu, I haven't seen you for a long time. ”
Xu Bansheng frowned and said, "It's really you." ”
Li Xiuping smiled and said, "Apart from me, is there anyone else who will come to save you?" ”
Xu Bansheng sighed and said, "You shouldn't have come." ”
Li Xiuping's figure fell, and he said, "It's all here." ”
Xu Bansheng sighed and did not speak.
Li Xiuping glanced at Xu Bansheng and asked, "Are you okay?" ”
Xu Bansheng nodded and said, "I can't die for the time being." ”
Li Xiuping said: "I'll take you back." ”
After speaking, runes appeared under everyone's feet, and then everyone rose directly into the air and left the corpse mountain.
That Xia Dynasty's eyelids trembled, and he said in a deep voice: "Dare to ask who Your Excellency is?" ”
Li Xiuping didn't answer, he pinched the sword trick in his right hand and slashed it with a sword.
The sword qi appeared instantly, tearing through the entire void, and then smashed to the ground.
Under this sword, whether it was the general or those soldiers of the Xia Dynasty, they disappeared without a trace in an instant, and the army of black pressure was directly cut open a huge gap by this sword.
Countless arrows continued to rain down, but after getting close to Li Xiuping and others, they would directly turn into flying ashes.
At the same time, countless powerhouses with powerful breaths continued to appear, blocking everyone's way south.
The magic circle that held everyone up stopped, and Li Xiuping also appeared in front of the magic circle, looked at the strong people who kept appearing, and said with a smile: "It's really fast." ”
Those soldiers didn't feel anything, but Xu Bansheng frowned.
He is now also a monk who has half a foot in the Yuan Infant Stage, so he can naturally feel the horror of these people, among those people, any one of them can easily kill him, not to mention that there are so many at once.
Xu Bansheng looked at Li Xiuping and did not speak.
The last time Penglai Xianzhou said goodbye, they hadn't seen each other for almost ten years, but in the past ten years, he had heard a lot of rumors about Li Xiuping, which naturally included Li Xiuping's battle against an immortal realm demon clan.
After Li Xiuping was seriously injured, he went south to find someone to treat his illness, and there was no news again.
Xu Bansheng actually felt that Li Xiuping was dead, like many people, but he was unwilling to believe this speculation, and it wasn't until Fang Cai that he was really sure that this guy was still alive.
So his previous guess has obviously been verified.
The purpose of the Xia Dynasty's layout is his senior brother Li.
In other words, the previous battle was a battle between the world, and the next battle will be a battle between the spiritual world......
