Chapter 251: Soldiers Coming to the Post City
Faced with Situ Sheng's complaints, the Heavenly Yuan Ancestor was silent.
Situ Sheng suddenly said: "From my personal point of view, I can't tolerate someone like Chu Yunchuan. No matter how strong his strength is, those who understand him naturally know that when it comes to heroism, he has no ambition to be domineering, and when it comes to heroes, he doesn't have the ambition to have the world in mind, he is like a ...... Like a woman, a very awkward person, indescribable, anyway, I just want to come out of it, there is no clear goal in life at all, and it doesn't matter where I go. ”
Hearing these words, the Heavenly Yuan Ancestor had mixed feelings in his heart.
Chu Yunchuan was taken into the door by the Heavenly Yuan Ancestor at the age of seven, it can be said that the Heavenly Yuan Ancestor brought him up, the Heavenly Yuan Ancestor naturally knows what kind of person Chu Yunchuan is, and he has to admit that what Situ Sheng said is not completely unreasonable. When he was a teenager, Chu Yunchuan was better, at least he had been unswervingly walking on the road of "hero", but since he met the fairy in feather, a love word made him completely stuck in the dust and mud, unable to extricate himself.
Maybe it really fulfills the old saying, the hero is sad to pass the beauty pass.
However, it is not to despair.
There is no unprovoked fall in the world, nor is there a rise for no apparent reason, just like the heavens, there is always a cause for wind and rain. No matter what Chu Yunchuan is doing now, the Heavenly Yuan Ancestor believes that time can prove everything, five hundred years, or a thousand years, there will always be a day when Chu Yunchuan will be worthy of the heaven-sent ninety-nine eighty-one recreation, and he only owes one comprehension.
Perhaps, Chu Yunchuan, who has lived for more than a thousand years, has already become an immortal freak in the eyes of ordinary people, but in the eyes of the Heavenly Yuan Ancestor. Chu Yunchuan has always been an immature child, at least, in terms of Heavenly Dao comprehension.
Thousands of miles away, the horse's hooves fluttered in the wind like agitated trumpets.
As long as you close your eyes, the Heavenly Ancestor can almost see the scene thousands of miles away, the 60,000 army under the leadership of Chu Yunchuan passed through the mountains and mountains, and rushed straight to the post city along the narrow ancient road......
Is he fighting for the long-term peace and stability of the world?
Or fight for his woman?
Popularity. It's the hardest thing to guess. Even if he pinched his fingers and could calculate the future Heavenly Yuan Ancestor, when he encountered a strange character like Chu Yunchuan with a changeable fate, he could only sigh secretly.
Anyway, though. Heavenly Yuan Ancestor never wanted to create too many obstacles for Chu Yunchuan.
He thought it thoughtfully. With emotion, he said to Situ Sheng: "Open one eye and close one eye." If you fight back in full, it will only bring the war to a stalemate, and the two sides will fight harder. The more innocent beings die, instead of this, you might as well take a step back and let him successfully fulfill Hongchen's long-cherished wish. ”
"You old guy can really talk. Situ Sheng smiled indifferently and said, "Your condition is tantamount to asking me to give up the country and replace it with any man, which is unacceptable." ”
"Others can't accept it, you can. The Heavenly Ancestor said bluntly: "God, do not compete with mortals. ”
"Haha...... It's a good god who doesn't compete with mortals......" Situ Sheng obviously liked this "god clan identity" very much, and replied briskly: "Since you have talked about this, if I am persistent, it seems to be a little petty...... Anyway, they like to fight as much as they like, and I will announce my abdication. ”
Heavenly Ancestor nodded with satisfaction, as long as the Immortal Clan could withdraw from this war, it would not appear in vain today. Tianyuan Ancestor said, "I'll avoid it first." As soon as his voice fell, he had turned into a white light and disappeared from the temple beam.
Situ Sheng casually waved a mana in his hand, opened the door of the temple, and instructed the two giant guards standing outside the door: "You two, immediately go and summon people of the rank of deputy general and above of each army to the temple, and say that I have something important to announce." ”
"Yes. ”
The two guards answered the order.
About half an hour later, six people came one after another.
Three are the Heavenly Demon Clan, led by the Demon Princess Lan Yu'er, and the other three people, two of whom are giants and one is a half-orc. In the mixed family of the Eternal Clan, there are more than a dozen generals, and more than half of them are stationed in the post city, and now the twilight city has been lost, and the post city is the number one city on the front line.
Although the head of the Eternal Legion, Huangfu Liuhe, and the head of the Earth Demon Army, Yan Yi, are not there, however, there is the demon princess Lan Yu'er, plus several deputy generals, and the representatives of the three armies are all there, which is relatively complete. Situ Sheng said to everyone bluntly: "I hurriedly summoned you here today to announce one thing, and I have decided to give way to the Holy King. ”
It would not be an exaggeration to say that this news is a bombshell.
The six people present all heard the words and almost couldn't believe their ears. And after the shock, everyone couldn't help but start to wonder why Situ Sheng wanted to abdicate, now it was a life-and-death juncture with Yan Huangjun and Bai Jiajun, he abdicated at this time, is he afraid?
Almost everyone had this question, but no one dared to question it, and everyone waited silently for Situ Sheng's next words.
The bright-eyed Situ Sheng could naturally understand everyone's thoughts, and explained unhurriedly: "During the ten years of my retreat, the reason why you were strictly forbidden to go out of the wilderness was to avoid war, after all, the war was ruthless, and the tragic situation of corpses everywhere was not what I wanted to see. This time, it is the general trend of the world, and there is no way to avoid it, what I can do is to give you a chance to choose. Now, I will return the sovereignty of the three armies to you, and it is up to you to decide whether to fight or not, however, I still want to suggest one thing to you, it is best to surrender to the Bai family's army, there are not many people in the world who can compete with Chu Yunchuan, there is no need to act as cannon fodder......"
Hearing this, Lan Yu'er hurriedly asked, "What about what you promised?"
"Rest easy. Situ Shengmu swept everyone and said solemnly: "Now, I will return the military power to you first, but I will not leave the Heavenly Demon City for the time being, but I will no longer participate in the war of commanding you." As for the matter of the primeval corpse poison, within ten days, I will give you a satisfactory answer. ”
A giant took two steps forward with his head held high and knelt down on one knee to Situ Sheng. He solemnly said: "The Holy King is benevolent and righteous, and the Immortal Legion will definitely support every decision of the Holy King, and I believe that our chief general, Lord Huangfu, will be the same as us!"
These words can be regarded as speaking everyone's heart.
The so-called benevolence and righteousness are comprehended through sharp contrasts, when the Eternal Race lived an inhuman life under the leadership of Qi Tian, and many people dared to be angry but did not dare to speak. And Situ Sheng's last ten years of reign are just two words - tranquility, if you have to say that there are still any regrets. That's also the consequence of Qi Tian's planting. You can't see the sun.
Let everyone see again, it was the first promise Situ Sheng made that year.
As long as he can fulfill this promise, everyone will have no complaints.
"Sorry, I was a little rushed to talk just now......" just now. Szeto Sheng's sincere attitude. Lan Yu'er apologized: "It doesn't matter if you do it or not, be our Holy King." You are always welcome in Heavenly Demon City, as for surrendering to the Bai Family...... Let us think again. ”
Another orc also stepped forward and said, "On behalf of the Earth Demon Army, I would like to thank the Holy King...... Now the change of words will not be there. It is not easy for us to decide whether to surrender or not, please understand the Holy King. ”
Situ Sheng nodded, indicating that he did not force it.
In fact, through everyone's reactions, Situ Sheng has seen that ten years of tranquility have worn away many of their edges and corners, and except for an inch of light, there is nothing worth them rushing to the front line to fight bloody battles and surrender, it is only a matter of time.
Suddenly, sensing that the Heavenly Ancestor who was hidden on the beam of the temple had quietly left, Situ Sheng laughed indifferently, and at the same time waved his hand to signal everyone to retreat, and in the blink of an eye, he was the only one left in the demon hall, sitting quietly for several hours.
At dusk, Situ Sheng flew to the roof, looked at the direction of Yicheng with his hands, and said with a smile: "Chu Yunchuan, Chu Yunchuan, aren't you tired of living like this? After the sound fell, his body turned into a rainbow light and flew in the direction of Yucheng.
It was also at this time that a mighty army approached the post city.
......
The Bai family's army attacked the wilderness for the first time and took the first city, Guidu, and the heavy price they paid was enough to go down in the history of the Bai family. More than 60,000 soldiers, blood was spilled overnight, and this kind of large-scale casualties made Chu Yunchuan can't help but think of the original battle of the cedar forest.
When he personally led the army, he wiped out the 40,000 or 55 major armies of Wuwei, which is unbearable to look back on.
Seeing that the outline of the city in front of him was becoming clearer and clearer, the soldiers on horseback were already ready for battle, and let out a burst of shouts that shocked the mountains and fields. The ultimate fear of war is often not embodied in cowardice, but in anger and counterattack! For example, the roar is used to strengthen one's own momentum, in a vain attempt to overwhelm the other side in momentum, and whenever such a voice is heard, experienced generals will always pray silently.
However, Chu Yunchuan did not pray, and he had never had the habit of asking God to ask the heavens.
The sky was already cloudy, and after dusk fell, the quiet aura was especially obvious, like a dark and dreary sky net hanging over the sky, invisibly oppressing all beings. The soldiers lit their torches, and the farther they went, the wider the road became, and the closer they got to the post city.
In front of the east gate of the post city, there is a big river as wide as a hundred zhang, this surging river originates in the South China Sea, passes through the waist of the barren wilderness, and flows to Nangong Fort. The famous Tianchuan refers to the section of the abyss between the wilderness and Nangong Fort, which was the only exit in the middle of the wilderness, but the bridge cable of Tianchuan has already been cut off by Nangong Feiluo.
When the army arrived at the east gate of the post city, the drawbridge into the city had been pulled up.
On the ten-zhang high city tower, there were many torches in a row, and it could be vaguely seen by the light of the fire, and many archers had already set up their bows, just waiting for the enemy to approach.
Unleash your divine sense to sense, and you can also find that there is a powerful and strange energy fluctuation in the sky above the city, if you guess correctly, it should be an invisible air defense barrier. Judging from the breath, its solidity is no less than that of Baicheng's defensive city barrier, and it is estimated that it is composed of hundreds of skilled formation divisions, this kind of enchantment is very exquisite, the people inside can attack the outside, but if the people outside fight back, they will be shocked as soon as they encounter the enchantment.
Chu Yunchuan, Bai Jian Qi, and Wu Peng rode the Ice Wing Divine Horse and stood side by side in front of the formation.
Upeng squinted his eyes, looked at the deafening river in front of him, and said in shock: "This is a natural protector, I heard that there are many ancient fierce fish in this river, if someone or a beast falls into the water, it will be gnawed to a pile of white bones in the blink of an eye." ”
Chu Yunchuan nodded noncommittally. Said: "This river is called Tianchuan, and no one knows the depth of Tianshu Star. ”
"Tianchuan!" Wu Peng sighed, "This is the legendary Tianchuan? ”
"I originally thought that Yicheng was a little easier to fight than Returning to Twilight City, but now it seems that the difficulty index is more than one level higher. Bai Jianqi looked up at the city tower two hundred meters away, and said: "In terms of terrain, the post city has a natural moat, and in terms of the strength of the garrison, the immortal legion composed of giants is much stronger than those half-orcs, I heard that the guard is called Huangfu Liuhe." I don't know what kind of character it is. ”
Huangfu Liuhe!
Every time I hear this word. Chu Yunchuan couldn't help but reverie, he, like all the officers around him, was full of curiosity and wanted to know what kind of goods he was. Dare to take such a domineering name.
"Upong. The Aegis of Life is in the front row. In case of a rain of arrows. After instructing Wupeng, Chu Yunchuan said to Bai Jian Qi again: "You go to call the battle and fight with Huangfu Liuhe's single soldiers." Let's say, as long as he wins, we will immediately withdraw our troops and see if he dares to go out of the city to meet the battle. ”
"Agitation?"
"Nonsense. ”
"Hehe, master, you are so bad. With a smile, Bai Jianqi pushed the mask on his face, and then rode his horse with a whip, rushed to the bank of the Tianchuan River, looked at the tall and burly guard on the city tower and shouted: "Which grandson is Huangfu Liuhe? If you have the ability to fight with your grandfather for three hundred rounds, as long as you win, grandpa and I will immediately retreat!"
Whoosh!
More than a dozen arrows shot through the night sky with a gleaming sound, and shot densely towards Bai Jian Qi. Bai Jian Qi swung his sword and swept away, and all the arrows were killed in front of him like lightning, although there was no danger, but the god horse was still quite frightened, and he ran up in a panic and hissed his hooves, almost turning Bai Jian Qi off the horse.
"Okay, you grandson, you actually play yin with your grandfather!" Bai Jianqi scolded: "Huangfu boy, aren't you known as a giant? If you have the ability, don't hide your head like a turtle grandson! I, Bai Jianqi, will be true to my word, as long as you win against me, my Bai family will immediately withdraw from the army! If you don't dare, go back to your mother's womb to drink milk, don't be embarrassed here." ”
This time, Bai Jianqi was ready to block the arrows, and to his surprise, this time it was calm.
On the city tower, the archers are indeed ready to release the arrows, and this time they are on the phantom arrows, and as soon as the arrows are off the string, they can be disintegrated and turned into a triple shadow of virtual and real, which is difficult to guard. But Huangfu Liuhe suddenly made a gesture to stop them for the time being.
Huangfu Liuhe condensed his gaze, looked at the heroic man in a white suit in front of the battle in surprise, and felt that the person was a little familiar, but unfortunately the distance was a bit far, and the torch in front of the battle was not bright enough, so it was not very real.
"Grandpa, I'm not interested in fighting with a garbage who wears a mask and doesn't dare to see people, so call that one in white to come over!" Huangfu Liuhe shouted loudly.
"Which eye do you have when you see Lao Tzu and dare not see people?!" The arrogant Bai Jian Qi didn't provoke the other party, he first took off his mask angrily, threw it directly into the angry Tianchuan River, and raised his head and shouted: "Sun Tzu, just with your humble identity, you are not qualified to talk to that person in white clothes!"
"Hmph, then you shout here slowly, you have time, and if you have the ability, you will attack hard!"
Huangfu Liuhe is a very cautious person and a very patient person. His original name was Fuguo, and in order to recover the Giant Kingdom, he endured humiliation and burdens in Elf City for half his life, and finally overthrew the rule of the Elf King with the power of Chu Yunchuan.
Back then, Qi Tian's appearance brought his fate to a second turning point.
It is undeniable that his life in these years has not been much better than that of a slave in the past, but this does not prevent him from sticking to his bottom line. His eyes kept looking at the man in white, trying to see the appearance clearly, but this damn distance was really depressing.
"Give me the arrows!"
Huangfu Liuhe snatched the bow and arrow from the soldier next to him, aimed at Bai Jian Qi and released an arrow. With a "whoosh", a streamer broke through the air.
When the Baijian Seven Horizontal Sword was blocked, the sword qi that volatilized swept to the body of the arrow, and the arrow suddenly decomposed, changing into three arrow shadows, unpredictable, like three spirit snakes, shooting out in three different directions. Suddenly, the three arrow shadows turned around again, and the cold arc light of the three Dao Sen actually shot towards Bai Jian Qi from three different angles.
In an instant, Bai Jian Qi was shocked.
It was not surprising that the body of the arrow decomposed, he knew that there was a kind of phantom arrow that would automatically disintegrate when it encountered the blocking force, and what really made him feel incredible was that the triple arrow shadow would actually turn around. Many years ago, he had watched Sang Yao perform a similar archery technique, but it was only a chance witness, listening to Sang Yao say that there are special skills in performing this kind of archery, which is not something that ordinary people can practice.
I didn't expect that this kid Huangfu Liuhe was so good.
When he was shocked, Bai Jian Qi clamped the horse's belly and flew into the air, taking the Ice Wing Divine Horse to avoid the arrow. Back and forth, in just half a blink of an eye, the arrows shot from three different angles had already converged, almost exploding against each other's belly.
The moment the aura collapsed, the energy fluctuations generated caused the Ice Wing Divine Pony to suffer a big blow, Bai Jian Qi didn't know if the Divine Pony's belly was broken, only that the neighing sound it emitted was miserable, and the muscles of the whole body were trembling violently.
When he fell back to the ground, Bai Jian Qi turned over and dismounted, only to see that the horse's stomach was bleeding.
Bai Jianqi stroked the smooth white mane on its neck quite distressedly, and at this time, the cry of Huangfu Liuhe sounded on the city tower again: "The surname is white, it's useless for you to just scold me, I'm a person with rough skin and thick flesh, and I don't accept your set." If you are sincere, call the man in white to come and talk to me, and if the conversation is good, let's fight a single battle and gamble on the post city!
"I don't know the height of the turtle grandson, I'm afraid that the one in white clothes will come over, and you don't even know how you died. Bai Jian scolded seven times and led the injured Ice Wing Divine Horse back.
There was a gray feeling.
The enemy general didn't lead it out, and the god horse was injured, so going back like this felt like going back to move the rescuers, which was a very humiliating thing. can think of learning a lesson, not to be stubborn, let alone greedy for merit, Bai Jianqi had to hold back this breath.
Walking in front of Chu Yunchuan, Bai Jianqi touched his nose very uncomfortably, and said depressedly: "What's that...... Master, that bastard said he wanted to talk to you personally, so you might as well go over......" (to be continued......
