Dark clouds were like ink, shrouding the newly acquired Shangdang County of Zhao State.

Li Mu stood at the head of Luzhou City, his eyes were like stars, bright and deep.

Since the defeat of the war against Wei five years ago, he has never led troops again, and he has been in charge of the army again at this time, which makes him feel a lot.

Now Korea took the initiative to cede Shangdang, allowing Zhao to successfully capture seventeen cities almost without a single soldier.

It seems that Zhao Guo has been cheapened, but in his opinion, the calamity of accepting the party is not less than the benefits he gets.

Sure enough, the joy of accepting the victory of Shangdang County had not yet dissipated, and the news of the invasion of the 400,000-strong army of Wei came.

Li Mu, who was ordered to guard here, was worried for a while.

At this time, Jiang Qing, a henchman beside Li Mu, hurriedly ascended to the top of the city, his steps were slightly staggering, as if he was overwhelmed by the urgent news.

As soon as he saw Li Mu, he immediately stepped forward, his hands clenched, his face full of nervousness and urgency.

"General!" Jiang Qing's voice was slightly hoarse: "The spies have sent news that the 400,000 troops of the Wei army are pressing the border and will soon arrive outside the city!" Emperor Wei is also among them! ”

When Li Mu heard this, his brows furrowed, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.

He was well aware of the strength of the Wei State, and the 400,000 army was by no means a small number.

Shangdang is a strategic place to defend the Korean capital.

Now Wei Jun knows that they Zhao Guo has obtained the party, and he still presses the whole army, with a posture of imperativeness.

It seems that this time Zhao Hongming's determination to destroy South Korea is unusually resolute.

As for Zhao Hongming's personal appearance on the battlefield, it made his heart chuckle even more.

He had already heard of this Wei Emperor's methods, and he might not be able to stop it.

Jiang Qing continued: "The Wei army is divided into three routes, and the momentum is violent, and it seems that they plan to take Shangdang County in one fell swoop. General, what are we going to do? ”

There was a hint of anxiety and worry in his tone.

Li Mu's face was calm, even if there was some abnormal nervousness in his heart, he didn't show the slightest.

He knew that he couldn't panic at the moment, otherwise it would affect the morale of the whole army.

Li Mu said in a deep voice: "What are you panicking about! We also have an army of 200,000 troops, and we occupy the geographical advantage of Shangdang, and we will definitely be able to resist the attack of the Wei army! ”

His voice revealed firmness and confidence, which gradually calmed down Jiang Qing's nervousness and urgency.

Li Mu then ordered: "Pass my order, the whole army is on alert, and prepare for battle!" ”

"Yes."

At this moment, the Wei army was pressing, and Jiang Qing also knew the priority, so he immediately responded, and then turned around and left.

Dark clouds and spring thunder rolling.

The atmosphere in the city couldn't help but become tense.

The sound of the wind was solemn, accompanied by the rumbling of hooves in the distance.

Li Mu looked into the distance and saw that in the extreme distance, the Wei army was like a wolf-like tiger's footmen, stepping on a uniform pace, constantly advancing forward.

The 400,000-strong army was overwhelmed.

At a certain intersection, the Wei army was divided into three groups, two of which headed in the direction of the cities of Qinzhou and Zezhou, while the largest group went straight to Luzhou, where he was, with a force of about 200,000 troops.

Li Mu suddenly frowned, and his worried expression was overflowing.

Constrained by the troops, he only deployed 50,000 troops in Qinzhou and Zezhou, while he deployed 80,000 troops in Luzhou.

Facing a Wei army twice his size, and Zhao Hongming personally presented, it was undoubtedly a difficult challenge for him to resist the attack of the Wei army.

At this moment, a familiar figure landed on the top of the city from far and near.

Li Mu turned around and looked at it, with a look of surprise on his face: "Haoran Sect Master, why are you here?" ”

The person who came was none other than the Sect Master of Haoran Sect, he was dressed in a white robe, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and his aura was magnificent.

He smiled and walked up to Li Mu's side and said, "How can I sit idly by and ignore the knowledge that the general is stationed in the party?" ”

Li Mu's face couldn't help but be happy, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

He had known the Haoran Sect Master for a long time and knew the strength of the other party.

In the State of Zhao, Sect Master Haoran has always been his main supporter, reaching out at critical moments many times.

However, due to the changes five years ago, under his influence, Haoran Sect's power in the Zhao Dynasty has also been greatly affected.

Now seeing him come back, he is obviously unwilling to let go of the opportunity to expand his strength.

Sure enough, as Li Mu had expected, the Haoran Sect Master immediately said, "The three thousand martial artists in the Haoran Sect can arrive here before sunset today, and they can help the general." ”

Li Mu put away his thoughts and said with emotion: "With Haoran Sect sitting here, this battle is safe!" ”

There is no doubt that the sudden addition of Haoran Sect gave him a reassurance.

At least more than 3,000 martial artists, at least they are all cultivators of the Tongqi Realm, which is comparable to an elite army, which can greatly enhance the strength of his garrison in the Shangdang.

In the face of Zhao Hongming, the Haoran Sect Master was also able to resist.

"You and I don't have to be polite. Now the top priority is to deploy the war and repel the Wei army! Haoran Sect Master said with a smile.

Li Mu nodded and said, "What the sect master said is exact. ”

Immediately summon his subordinates and deploy for battle.

The Zhao army quickly entered a state of readiness under the leadership of Li Mu.

After Li Mu left, the Sect Master Haoran stood at the head of the city, staring at the Wei army in the distance, staring at one of the martial arts flags, thinking of the defeat five years ago, his expression couldn't help but become gloomy.

Last year, he already knew that it was not Wei Wuji, the leader of the Ming Sect, who used the power of thunder to defeat him, but Zhao Hongming.

This made his heart mixed.

The defeat that year almost made him a stepping stone for the other party, and he has not recovered yet.

After repeated pondering, he was convinced that he would lose back then, purely because of the magic weapon, not because his skills were inferior.

It's a pity that after so many years, no one has listened to his explanation.

As long as it comes to Haoran Sect, many people think of it.

The strength of the Haoran Sect has been reduced by more than one or two percent.

If you want to change this situation, you must defeat Zhao Hongming or even kill him.

It is precisely because of this that he has cultivated hard all these years, without slacking off for a moment, and finally has some understanding on the way to martial arts, and his cultivation has improved even more.

He heard that this time Wei attacked Korea, and Zhao Hongming "drove the expedition in person", so he couldn't help but want to come over to repay the hatred of the defeat that year.

'Five years have passed, and my cultivation has reached the peak of the Nine Grades of Martial Courage, and I am only one step away from the Creation Realm. I will never make the mistake of that day. ’

In the eyes of the Haoran Sect Master, even if Zhao Hongming was talented, he was only a martial arts cultivator at that time.

He has been cultivating hard for a hundred years to have the cultivation he has today.

Zhao Hongming is only twenty years old, even if he can only cultivate in his mother's womb for twenty years, he will not reach his level.

Everyone in the world thinks that his cultivation is advanced and invincible, but in his Zhou Ding's eyes, this is just a rumor.

This time, he will definitely be able to kill him on the spot.

Haoran Sect Master Zhou Dingyi gritted his teeth and swore an oath.

……

When the 200,000 Wei army, under the leadership of generals such as Zhao Hongming and Wu Qi, arrived at the city of Luzhou in Shangdang, the entire city of Luzhou had already been heavily guarded, and the drawbridge was also put away.

Zhao Hongming rode on the dragon horse, looking at Luzhou City in front of him from a distance, and his face became extremely serious.

The city was tall and sturdy, and its walls were covered with sharp arrows and rolling wood.

With such a configuration, it may not be so easy to capture.

Wu Qi and other generals also gathered around Zhao Hongming, and after they saw the appearance of Luzhou City in front of them, their faces were not very good-looking.

But they also know that this battle is crucial for them.

If they can successfully take the city of Luzhou, then the Wei army will be able to penetrate further into the hinterland of Korea, laying a solid foundation for the capture of Shangdang and the destruction of Korea.

They had to take this city.

The dragon foal snorted and let out a scorching breath, looking a little eager to try.

Zhao Hongming didn't care about it, and asked Wu Qi: "General Wu, I heard that the defender of this city is Li Mu of Zhao State?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, it is Li Mu who guards this place, except for Li Mu, most of the other cities are also Li Mu's henchmen."

"It's an old opponent, I don't know if General Li Mu has learned some lessons after so many years." Zhao Hongming laughed twice and said, "General Wu, let's attack the city." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Wu Qi shouted loudly: "Siege." ”

With Wu Qi's order, the sound of drums in the army sounded, and the Wei army began to attack the city.

"Kill!"

Countless Wei soldiers shouted, raised their shields and spears in the air, and rushed towards the city wall.

"General, the Wei army has begun to attack the city."

Hearing this, Li Mu, the general of Zhao State, walked to the head of the city, saw the Wei army in Wuyang, and began to launch an offensive against Luzhou.

He looked at a young man riding a dragon horse in the Wei soldiers, and his expression was stunned.

The latter seemed to sense something, and invariably glanced at him.

Li Mu took a deep breath and slowly pulled out the long sword at his waist.

The tip of the sword pierced the sky, glittering with a decisive light. He looked back at the soldiers behind him, and said in a deep voice: "In this battle, the only way to defend is to defend to the death!" Kill! ”

Although the voice was calm, it exuded a tragic spirit.

Under the leadership of Li Mu, all the soldiers at the head of the city let out an earth-shattering roar: "Kill!" ”

Li Mu's eyes flashed with determination and determination. He knew that this was a tough battle, but he was confident that he would lead the soldiers to hold Shangdang County.

Not to be outdone, the Zhao army on the city wall threw rolling logs and lighted torches in an attempt to stop the Wei attack.

Siege engines and ladders moved rapidly in the hands of the Wei soldiers, who braved a thunderstorm of attacks and charged hard.

As time passed, the Wei offensive became more and more intense.

Arrows covered the sky like locusts, and foot soldiers rushed to the walls like a torrent.

However, under the command of Li Mu, the Zhao army was heavily defended.

Every attack was skillfully defused, and every charge was fiercely repulsed.

Zhao Hongming and the other Wei Jun's faces became more and more ugly.

Seeing that the situation could not be opened for a long time, Wei Wushu, who had been recuperating, was sent out.

Ma Chuanping and Leyang, who received the siege order, came to the front line and commanded the soldiers to attack.

With the elite of Wei Wushu's entry, the situation quickly changed.

Ma Chuanping and Le Yang led their subordinates to rush to the city, their figures shuttling through the city, the long sword in their hands flashing with cold light, and each swing of the sword took away the life of an enemy.

"An dare to be rampant!"

As soon as Haoran Sect Master Zhou Ding saw the situation, he no longer concealed himself, took the initiative to rush out, and wantonly killed at the head of the city.

In the face of the martial arts of the nine grades of martial arts, the Wei soldiers who rushed to the city could not resist, and the soldiers fell one after another, their flesh and blood blurred, and they were miserable.

"Martial Courage Nine Pins?!"

Seeing this, Zhao Hongming no longer hesitated and chose to make a move.

His figure moved, and he rushed to the head of the city.

Haoran Sect Master Zhou Dingyi looked up to the sky and laughed, "It's good to come." ”

Rumble!

Above the city, the wind howled, and the two powerful breaths collided, causing the surrounding masonry to crack a little.

The two stood opposite each other, with a momentum like a rainbow.

Haoran Sect Master Zhou Dingyi clasped his hands together, and a majestic true intent erupted from his palm, turning into a silver sword and slashing down in the air.

Zhao Hongming's eyes were awe-inspiring, he did not dodge or dodge, he swung his fist to meet him, and the fist and the knife collided in the air, causing a wave of air ripples.

His face remained unchanged, and then he visualized the true seal of the giant in the world vibrating, and an invisible force surged out from behind him, and the eighteen arms condensed, turning into a huge palm print, and suppressed towards the Haoran Sect Master.

Zhou must have a slight change in complexion, and his hands quickly sealed.

A powerful force permeated from all over the body, and stars emerged behind him, each as big as a mountain, dazzling.

One of the stars evolved, turning into a silver palm and colliding with Zhao Hongming's fist print.

"Boom!"

The two forces froze in the air, and the waves of air rolled, sweeping all the surrounding sand and gravel in.

With the two of them as the center, a vacuum was formed, and no one could approach.

Haoran Sect Master Zhou must have been shocked.

He found that Zhao Hongming's strength was on par with him.

How is this possible?

Are the rumors all true?

Zhou Dingyi's eyes flashed with a hint of fierceness, and his body moved, turning into a streamer and rushing towards Zhao Hongming.

Zhao Hongming ran the Eight Desolation Secret Martial Arts, his figure disappeared in a flash, and appeared behind Zhou Dingyi, and his eighteen arms condensed into one, mixed with thunder light, and blasted out with a punch.

The light of the stars behind the Haoran Sect Master shone brightly, colliding with Zhao Hongming's fist.

Both of them were shocked, and they each flew out a few feet away.

The Haoran Sect Master landed steadily, looking up at Zhao Hongming, his eyes full of astonishment.

And Zhao Hongming also looked at him, his eyes were full of war.

"You broke through?"

"Luckily broke through to the seventh grade of martial arts." Zhao Hongming said noncommittally.

Sect Master Haoran's expression was stunned, and it was difficult to speak.

Five years, four realms.

It took him only five years to complete what he had almost taken thirty-four years to complete.

How can there be such a monster in the world?!!

Sect Master's face gradually lost control and became much more hideous.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible."

Haoran Sect Master rushed towards Zhao Hongming again, and the stars behind him were dazzling, like a round of sun, appearing at the head of the city.

"Ahh

Someone was hit by this dazzling light, and his eyes were bloody.

Zhao Hongming's figure retreated sharply, and he flashed the range of light.

"If you want to go, it's not that easy!"

Countless stars burst out and suppressed him.

Zhao Hongming's heart was shaken, and the Dharma phase behind him was completely manifested, wrapping him in it, and constantly countering it with his fists.

Each exchange caused a ripple of air, and the masonry of the surrounding city walls crumbled.

Zhao Hongming looked up at the sky, gritted his teeth, and urged the thunder to destroy the law body.

With a kick of his feet, he rose from the sky and rushed into the dark clouds.

Haoran Sect Master's face changed, and he only felt that this scene was familiar.

Thundered!

Before he could react, a pillar of blue light carried the Brilliant Heavenly Power and fell from the sky.

With a deafening bang, the pillar of light struck the Sect Master Haoran.

"Ahh (End of chapter)
