Chapter 33 Raise the Anti-Banner and Attack Haozhou

What Zhang Wuji didn't expect was.

Since the head of the bald donkey was cut off and sent to Shaolin, the Shaolin Temple, which was still tough before, has died down and there is no longer any movement.

Such an abnormal move not only made Zhang Wuji breathe a sigh of relief, but made him even more jealous of this behemoth.

After all, dogs that bite people don't bark!

However, he didn't keep his eyes on the Shaolin Temple.

Because the rebellion of the Ming Sect and the five major factions has been in full swing in the south of the Yangtze River.

A month after Zhang Wuji returned to Guangmingding, the blue-winged bat king Wei Yixiao quietly descended the mountain with a brigade of Mingjiao elites to support the southern battlefield.

Two months later, the White-Eyed Eagle King led the original Heavenly Eagle Sect gang into the battlefield as well.

On the third day after the departure of the White-eyed Eagle King, Zhang Wuji led the Five Elements Banner and the last elite of the Ming Sect on the top of the light to Haozhou City, where the battle was fiercest.

The Fengyang branch altar here is under the leadership of the altar owner Zhu Yuanzhang, and the rebel army has reached 30,000.

When Zhang Wuji rushed to the Haozhou battlefield, Zhu Yuanzhang was leading the army to storm Haozhou City, and the battle had lasted for three days and three nights, and both the rebel army and the Yuan Dynasty defenders of Haozhou City suffered heavy casualties.

"Sect Master, the city of Haozhou is too tall, and the brothers have attacked it five times, and they have not been able to attack it for a long time. ”

"We don't have siege equipment, we don't have experience in attacking big cities, it's really embarrassing. Zhu Yuanzhang, dressed in iron armor, stood beside Zhang Wuji, reporting the battle situation, his face full of helplessness.

"I know your difficulties, that's why I'm here!" Zhang Wuji said in a deep voice.

They were standing on a small hill, and they could see the fierce siege battle going on under the city of Haozhou.

Zhu Yuanzhang did not exaggerate, the so-called siege of the city now is just the rebel army filling in with their lives, without the slightest rule.

He glanced at all the powerful figures of the Fengyang Branch Altar standing in front of him.

Xu Da, Chang Yuchun, Tang He, Zheng Yu, Hua Yun.

Each of them is a famous general in the later generations, to be honest, Zhang Wuji is still a little excited to be able to fight on the battlefield with these people.

But apparently they are still very immature now, and they don't even know how to fight.

"Let the brothers who are besieging the city withdraw, because the morale will be lost if you continue to fight. Zhang Wuji commanded.

"Yes!" Zhu Yuanzhang secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

In fact, he had already had the idea of retreating, but because the sect leader was here, he always had to take care of the sect leader's face.

After all, strictly speaking, from the moment Zhang Wuji arrived, he had already taken over the command of this army from him.

Before the sect leader could speak, you ordered the withdrawal of the army?

Do you want to try the sword in the sect leader's hand or what!

Zhu Yuanzhang knows that his sect leader is an out-and-out ruthless person, and the heads of dozens of monks in Shaolin Temple will be cut because of a few provocative words, if this is not ruthless, can it be done?

To tell the truth, although he was a little resistant to Zhang Wuji's arrival, he was very cowardly in the face of Zhang Wuji.

"Sect Master, I think we can go this way next, since we can't take a big city like Haozhou, we can fight Ping'an County, where the Yuan soldiers are not well guarded, we can still give it a try!" Zhu Yuanzhang gave the order to retreat, and immediately began to give Zhang Wuji ideas again.

He positioned himself very accurately, Zhang Wuji's staff division.

After all, although Zhang Wuji's martial arts are superb, it is difficult to say that he is marching and fighting, and he doesn't want the tens of thousands of people he has managed to pull up to be lost by Zhang Wuji's foolishness.

"Let's go?"

"I didn't say I was leaving!"

Zhang Wuji glanced at Zhu Yuanzhang and said with a smile: "You just have to wait, I will take this city, and tonight we will drink wine and eat meat in Haozhou City." ”

Zhang Wuji said as he pulled out the saber at his waist, turned his head and said loudly: "The Five Elements Banner obeys the order, the Ruijin Banner charges with me, the Flame Banner and the flood period cover, and the Giant Wood Banner and the Houtu Banner will take down the city gate for me." ”

"Yes!" Zhang Wuji bowed behind him, and the team of thousands of people began to move as fast as a machine.

"Sect Master, no, how can you go to the battlefield with your daughter's body!" Zhu Yuanzhang was really a little scared this time, he never thought that Zhang Wuji would be so reckless.

Marching and fighting is not as good as fighting a martial arts master, even if the acquired master once he falls into the enemy formation, his true qi is exhausted and there is still no place to die.

What's more, now that it is attacking the city, the giant repeater at the head of Haozhou City is not an ornament, and the crossbow arrows fired by this crossbow are three meters long, which is much sharper than the full force of the master of the day after tomorrow.

The branch he was in had a first-class martial arts master assigned by Zhang Wuji, but the role he could play in the siege battle was too small and too small.

If the sect leader dies here, then he really won't be able to eat and walk away.

Not to mention death, it is estimated that he will be killed ten or eight times by those masters in the headquarters.

"What the hell's daughter, Lao Tzu came here to fight. ”

Zhang Wuji was full of spirits, turned over and laughed loudly: "Master Zhutan, you are watching it below, this sect leader will teach you how to fight today." ”

At the same time as these words sounded, Zhang Wuji had already rushed down the hill on horseback, and behind him, under the leadership of Zhuang Zheng, the banner envoy, followed Zhang Wuji like a torrent of steel and rushed straight to the city wall of Haozhou City.

"It's over, it's over!"

Zhu Yuanzhang's face was full of panic, and he gritted his teeth and said fiercely: "Xu Da, Chang Yuchun, the two of you each bring 5,000 people to prepare for the reception, remember that no matter what happens later, you must protect the safety of the sect leader, even if your head falls off, you can't let the sect leader lose a single hair." ”

Xu Da opened his mouth to say something, but in the end he could only sigh.

Chang Yuchun was much more upright, and he couldn't help but vomit while pulling out the big knife on his back: "Sect Leader Zhang is too capable of making trouble!"

"Disperse!" approaching the three miles of Haozhou City, Zhuang Zheng shouted, and the eight hundred people suddenly dispersed in a fan shape.

"Whew!" A piercing whistling roar carried heavy pressure towards Zhang Wuji's position.

Zhang Wuji jumped up from his horse suddenly, and pushed out with one palm while the Qiankun was moving, and the oncoming three-meter-long crossbow arrow was slapped away by him with one palm, and stabbed obliquely into the open space next to him.

"Ten people follow me, don't be afraid of crossbow arrows!" Zhang Wuji turned over and sat back on his horse, and opened his mouth to drink.

Ten second-rate masters immediately changed formations and followed closely behind Zhang Wuji.

"Huhuhu!" three crossbow arrows shot again.

Zhang Wuji pulled out his long sword with a snort, and the sword body trembled slightly.

"Whew!" Three sword lights flashed, and the crossbow arrows all broke from the middle, and they were cut in half by Zhang Wuji.

"Flying axe!" At this moment, he was already close to the city wall, Zhang Wuji shouted, and jumped up from his horse violently.

The ten second-rate masters behind him heard Zhang Wuji's exhalation, and the flying axes that had already been ready to be fired in their hands were thrown out.

"Bang bang bang!" The flying axes carrying great power were all deeply embedded in the walls of Haozhou City.

And these axes are evenly distributed, forming a long staircase from top to bottom.

Zhang Wuji tapped a flying axe on his toes, and Tiyun spread out vertically, swaying upward.

Just as he was about to be exhausted, another throwing axe appeared at his feet.

Zhang Wuji's speed did not stagnate, and it only took three breaths for his toes to connect the flying axe to the eight-meter-high city wall.

By the time he stood at the head of Haozhou City with his sword, the Yuan army had not even loaded the second round of crossbow arrows.
