.....

The news of the Oni General's killing soon spread.

Murderer, chivalrous also.

The chivalrous man did not leave his name, one person broke through thousands of troops, killed more than 100 enemies, killed the ghost general, and was rescued by the immortals.

Everyone in the world says that he has attained the Tao and ascended to heaven.

The name of its benevolence and righteousness is spread in the world, so there are countless heroes who come, and the name of benevolence and righteousness of the chivalrous people follows, intending to help the mountains and rivers together.

There are even scholars who speak and compose a poem.

Kill one person in ten steps, and don't stay for a thousand miles.

However, the sky has long been tilted westward.

.....

"Kill ——!!!"

The sound of fighting, swords and guns, and war drums were intertwined, and the beacon fire was billowing up with wolf smoke, and blood and robes were waving and staining each other.

There were many battles outside Jingmen Pass, and the rolling stones and hot oil had already been prepared, but for Jiang Qi's soldiers, no matter how much Zhao Song's army resisted, no matter how many soldiers they killed, it was still just a futile effort.

The siege began.

They have been preparing for many days, and today everything is standing in Jiang Qi, the army is ten times that of Zhao Song, the soldiers are strong and strong, the generals are brave and bladed, the time and place are favorable, and the people are all there, at this time, it is a battle to the death, and it is a battle to tear open the gap between Zhao and Song!

The army of evil ghosts pounced, in the eyes of Zhao Song's soldiers, Jiang Qi's army was evil ghosts, or the kind that ate people and didn't spit out bones!

Wolves are afraid of tigers, but when they encounter sheep, they are unmatched.

The wind and sand are stirring and whirling, and the blood and fire are intertwined and burning.

Countless voices were loud, and the people had already begun to cry and evacuate, and because they heard about the benevolence and righteousness of the nameless heroes, many heroic green forests finally threw themselves into the rolling tide brought by this beacon fire at this time.

Countless sparks converged, and although the brilliance was not bright, it was enough to pierce the night.

The flame of resistance will not be extinguished, especially in troubled times.

Zhao and Song are poor and weak, in Jiang Qi's opinion, there is no resistance for a long time, not enough to be called one of the three dynasties, such a poor and weak country, if it is like the Great Xia, it is not out of the cold, but the land of Zhao and Song, with fertile water and soil, is comparable to Meng Wei, and far better than Jiang Qi.

If the lord of the country is incompetent, it will change hands, and if the army is weak, it will be defeated.

Swallow Zhao and Song, cultivate and recuperate for ten years, you can gather tens of millions of troops, the grain and grass are like mountains, and thousands of horses are like rivers, and you can use the iron hooves to break through the Meng Wei Tianguan, so that Jiang Qi and Meng Wei can decide the position of the male lord of the world.

When the world is decided, the throne of the emperor is at your fingertips!

The Lord of Jiang Qi had this intention!

No matter how strong the human dynasty is, it is still a human dynasty, and only the seat of the human emperor can compete with many immortal mountains and demon lands.

intends to become the second human emperor and overpower Jiuxuan, this is Jiang Qi's ambition.

But for some reason, among the Nine Xuans, Bai Hengshan knew that Jiang Qi was very ambitious, but he didn't care about it at all, and the mystery was really intriguing.

The siege battle started for three days, three days without sleep, and three days of bloody battles until Jiang Qi retreated.

Ling Yun was just a small soldier at the border pass, but he had fought Jiang Qi's army no less than ten times, ten times of war, ten times of life and death, and he had transformed from a recruit to a veteran.

Those who do not retreat from a battle, and those who live and do not die are veterans.

Veterans are the backbone of an army.

Behind him was a large banner with a big thorn character written on it.

This is the banner of Jingmen Pass, there are ten in total, and on Jingmen Pass, the banner is the soul pillar of the defenders, if the banner falls, then the army on behalf of this piece can not be commanded, and there will be no leader.

He's the flag bearer!

Once a soldier, now a young general, he carries the banner and runs to guide the direction of the army.

Blood stained his robe, and he sat limp at the arrow mouth of the city wall, almost out of strength all over his body.

The war never stopped, and I survived today, and I don't know if I will be alive in the future.

"Water..... Water...."

Ling Yun muttered, his throat was almost about to erupt with fire, and the banner was tied to his back, because in this way he could free his hands to kill the enemy, otherwise he would die in vain, which would be a pity.

The feeling of thirst took over almost all of his mind, his eyes began to feel a little flowered, and gradually, it was getting dark, everything was plunged into darkness, and his body was almost falling apart.

"Here, you want water. ”

The sound that he had never heard before reached Ling Yun's ears, and then the moist liquid poured into his throat, and he suddenly came to his senses, sobered up, and opened his eyes to look at the person in front of him.

A young Taoist, the robe on his body is black and white, like life and death, like yin and yang.

"Dao Ye ....."

Ling Yun drank the bowl of water, the feeling of detachment from the top and bottom of his body gradually dissipated, and his body regained its strength again, so he let his body move, trying to stand up, and the man pressed his shoulder and asked him to sit down.

"There is still war at night, and any bit of physical strength is crucial now. ”

That's what the Daoist said, and Ling Yun squirmed his lips and said, "Dao Ye is also a Green Forest person who came to help?"

Because of the relationship between the nameless knights, there are many green forest heroes who came to the border to help defend the city, and naturally there are some wild Taoist priests among them, so Ling Yun asked.

"Sort of, but I don't fight, I only save people. ”

The Taoist nodded, and Ling Yun smiled reluctantly: "Save people.... It's good to save people, but if you fight, you can only kill one person.... Saving people can save millions of people in the world...... It's good to save people, it's good to save people......"

The Taoist shook his head: "You still don't talk much, your physical strength is exhausted." ”

"Hey, hey...."

Ling Yun shook his head: "Dao Ye.... That's not right, because I'm about to die.... That's why I'm talking here. ”

"Who knew that it would come to the underworld.... Can you still speak...... Said ..... No one listened....."

Ling Yun's tone suddenly became a little low: "Dao Master..... You say, what does the underworld look like?"

"What's the underworld like? Why do you suddenly want to ask this?"

The Taoist looked at him, and Ling Yun smiled: "Then if, if it is the same as the yang world, then there are also shops that sell steamed buns, Langzhong who grabs medicine, and girls who pick flowers, then there is nothing terrible to ..... if you die."

"Dao Ye, you Daoists, some of you have become immortals, some of them have not, and they are still spinning in the red dust, but you should know what the netherworld is like, right? I have also seen those ghosts and monsters, and I don't tell you that I am not the kind of Bai Ding who can't read big characters..... It is written in those ghost books that the underworld is full of black mountains, and there is an evil temple in which an evil ghost sits, and the good man is let go by him, and the wicked man is eaten by him..... Isn't that so?"

Ling Yun was asking, and the Taoist turned his head slightly: "Do you want to hear the truth or a lie?"

"If it's true, I'm going to die, can't I understand the customs of the underworld..."

Ling Yun's words were self-mocking, and the Taoist nodded: "There is no earth, there is no black mountain, there are evil ghosts, but they don't eat people." ”

"The netherworld is a sea in which all souls rise and fall, and among them are the captains of the boats, who carry iron masks and walk through the boundless sea of the underworld, and cross the souls and souls. Immortals and demons enter the sea and are reincarnated, and mortal beings enter the sea and go into reincarnation. ”

"Once you enter reincarnation, the dust of the past is gone, the true spirit is cleansed, return to the source, and re-enter the world, but if you are evil in life, then reincarnation, I don't know what it will become, this is the duty of the Netherworld, not that we can peep. ”

The first time Ling Yun heard this statement, he was surprised: "Is the netherworld the sea, and there is still a captain in the sea?"

"It is said that there are three mountains, but they are not black, and among the souls, it seems that there are occasional people who strayed into the three mountains, and finally disappeared. ”

The Taoist spoke carefully, Ling Yun listened slowly, and at this moment, the Taoist suddenly spoke: "You are so sure, after this battle, will you die?"

"Hehe, Dao Ye, when this battle ends tonight, we will pass Jingmen, I'm afraid there will be few living people. ”

Ling Yun sighed: "The pass can't be broken, we can only defend it, once it is broken, the hundreds of millions of Li people behind will be finished, Jiang Qi is a demon, where their army passes, the city is destroyed and the people die." ”

"Zhao Song can't do it...... But if I don't die, the tens of thousands of people behind me will die, and even if I die, they may not die......"

"Dao Master, if I die, what kind of Netherworld Sea do I really enter, I can't get water?"

Ling Yun chirped crookedly and said something twisting his mouth, and the Taoist couldn't help but smile when he heard it.

"You are the young general who holds the flag, people can die, but the flag cannot fall. ”

When Ling Yun heard him say this, he suddenly became a little proud: "That's nature, people can die, and the flag can't fall!

Before he finished speaking, at this moment, there was a sudden sound of drums from the tower.

"Enemy Attack ————!!!"

The crazy roar sounded again, and in the distant sky, a wave of iron armor converged, and the siege ladder was erected again, like a strange ancient beast, with beacon fire and wolf smoke, to destroy everything here.

There was a firelight flying in the sky, and gradually it became a piece, and on the original watchtower, the herald fell down in horror, roaring loudly, and hissing with the greatest strength of his life:

"Rockets - rockets - and volcanic rocks ——!"

Boulders and rockets flew from the sky, turning the Jingmen Gate into a sea of fire in an instant.

The walls were blown open, and all the Song troops did not expect that the night battle would start with such a situation, they were shot by rockets, or buried directly by volcanic stones, and the corpses flew upside down from the city and landed on the land in the pass.

"Meteor Shower ——!!!"

The sand and dust were blazing, the blood, water and iron armor were continuous, and the banner was also pierced, Ling Yun roared in horror, wanting to let the Taoist leave, but when he turned his head, the Taoist was gone.

As if he had never been here, and Ling Yun didn't think about it, he picked up the steel knife and raised the iron shield, and it was at this time that the second wave of meteor fire showers in the sky had fallen!

The huge volcanic stone smashed through, rubbing the iron shield, and the fire burned the iron armor, and quickly extinguished, but the rocket did not stop, and kept piercing the iron shield.

The howl resounded, and the Song army on the city wall finally understood why Jiang Qi suddenly retreated, they were not resting, but waiting for the arrival of the rocket army and trebuchet.

"Boom ——!!!"

Suddenly, an even louder sound rang out, and the mighty force destroyed the hard city wall, and countless severed limbs and stumps flew up and fell into the dust, and blood stained half of the sky red.

"Artillery ——!"

Someone saw clearly, in the distant night, where the last ray of light shone on, it was the legendary firearm, known as the "cannon"!

Ten artillery pieces appeared on the battlefield, and all the situation was irreversible, and the screams accompanied everything, and Ling Yun even felt that his ears were about to be torn apart.

There was only fire in his eyes, and nothing else could be seen.

Thankfully, this kind of thing could not be fired continuously, and after the heavy fire, the ladder was already on the top of the city.

At this time, half of the soldiers defending the city had been reduced, and the remaining half were lying in the yellow sand forever.

Firearms, fire dragon guns, artillery, these are the first things that Jiang Qi assembled, and in the Xia Dynasty, which was far away, it took tens of thousands of taels of gold to exchange for eight fire dragon guns.

The morale completely collapsed, but the siege battle began, Jiang Qi's soldiers descended like demons, brandishing spears and steel knives, as if entering a no-man's array, the previous artillery attack completely crushed the momentum of most of the Song Dynasty soldiers, and at this time, the white-knuckle battle was carried out, but it fell into a one-sided slaughter.

"The banner is here, don't retreat ——!"

There is a general shouting: "Flag general, where is the flag general——!"

"The flag will be ——!!! here"

Ling Yun heard the shout, put up the big flag, the big flag of Jingmen Pass was waved, at this time a flag up, one flag after another, the ten big flags swaggered, at this time a general guarding the pass roared: "They are attacking the city, they can't open artillery! We can hold it!"

"The artillery needs to be cooled, the rockets are not infinite, their men are still in the city, don't retreat, knock them down!"

"Don't retreat, fight to the death, fight to the death——!!!"

"Fighting to the death is death, not fighting is death, since you are aggrieved to death, it is better to kill a few more and then die!"

"You're fucking back—I'll let you come back——!"

Similar shouts echoed throughout the walls, and the fleeing soldiers slowed down, the madness of their hearts taking over and suppressing their fears.

Ling Yun waved the big flag, and the tip of the big flag was also a spear blade, and he was waving it, because the big flag was the heart of the army.

However, at this moment, the banner in the northeast suddenly fell.

Then there was a cry of collapse from the horse: "Jingmen is broken!

"The banner has not fallen!"

Ling Yun roared, his eyes were bloodshot, and the big flag in his hand waved desperately, while the other big flags also began to wave, and gradually, the original deserter returned to the battlefield, and the sword and gun in his hand once again slashed at the soldiers of the Qi Dynasty.

"Rise ——!"

Jiang Qi's army had obviously expected this situation, and at this time, with ten people as the wall, the shield and the spear were combined and exchanged, causing a gun array to advance like a sea tide, and Zhao Song's army rushed over and was torn to pieces by the sea of guns in an instant.

The tip of the spear was high, hanging the corpse of the person above, and then continued to pierce, taking the lives of one soldier after another.

Zhao Song's soldiers were divided and could only fight in small groups, and in this way, it was as if they were being exterminated, the gun array was like a sea of waves, rushing and killing in waves, and Zhao Song's side could only do one wave after another of futile resistance.

Puff——!

The general who was the first to shout not to retreat was killed, he was pierced in the abdomen by three steel guns, and he was shot in the neck, but at the last moment, he grabbed the barrel of the gun on his neck sharply, and the remaining hand completely wrapped the three steel guns in the abdomen.

It was this action that saved countless people, and the general behind rushed over and led the soldiers to push away the gun array, and Jiang Qi's ten-person team wanted to take back the spear, but found that the spear was caught by the other party and could not be recovered at all.

"Chong - kill them all for me, one counts as a ——!"

"Killing one is enough, killing two blood to earn!"

The later general brandished a broadsword, looked at the light and shadow, and split the gunman directly on the spot.

So the original encirclement was torn open, at the cost of life, which was the last madness of the Zhao and Song army.

They have no way to retreat, the Jingmen is broken, and the people behind them are all going to die, they have escaped, they are also going to die, it is all death, it is better to pull a few on the road, it is not a loss.

A hole was shot out of the center of Ling Yun's banner by a rocket, and now it had already burned out, half of the Jing character became scorched and empty, and the spear blade was cold, pushing a Jiang Qi spearman at this time, and let out a final roar.

"The banner has not fallen ——!!!"

The spearman was squeezed alive, and more blades came out from the front and slashed directly at Ling Yun's body.

The upper body was pierced by three spears, and the big banner in his hand made Yun's gaze begin to wander, and all seven orifices began to flow outward.

His consciousness gradually blurred, and at the last moment, he heard the enemy general shouting: "The banner of the southeast has been cut off——!"

No, it hasn't been cut yet, and our banner is still standing.....

"Banner .... Didn't ......"

Ling Yun's consciousness fell into darkness, which was a sign of death, and the hand gradually began to let go, but at this time, in the darkness, a Taoist came.

"Dao Ye?"

Ling Yun couldn't speak, just watched the Taoist in the day come over, holding a big flag in his hand, which was the big flag he was holding in his hand now.

The banner of Jingmen Pass!

"Big Banner!"

Ling Yun's body was trembling, and the Dao man was speaking: "Who said that the banner can't fall?"

"You can't break your word, and you said you can't get water, so you can't go to the Netherworld. ”

"Wave your banner, just a moment, really, I don't lie to you. ”

The Taoist's words were very light, Ling Yun took the big flag, and at this moment, the whole scene in his eyes changed, as if he had just woken up from a big dream, as if he had come back from the dead, he held the big flag in his hand, and heard the wailing sigh.

"The banner has fallen ........"

The banner did not fall!

Ling Yun thinks so, and at the same time, he does it.

There was a general with his back to him, and he didn't notice that Ling Yun was already standing up.

The big flag in his hand was raised, and he waved it violently!

In an instant, the heavens and the earth were discolored, and the mountains and rivers were reversed!

The clouds in the sky gathered, the wind and clouds began to change, all the flames were blown out, the artillery was shaken back in the process of bombardment, and in an instant, Jiang Qi's army was in chaos, and all the Jiang Qi soldiers on the city wall, at this moment, all turned into dust and dispersed.

In the distance of the army, a general's pupils shrank sharply, looking at the scene on the city wall, the ruins of the broken wall that were already in tatters and full of flames were rising, and there was actually a broken banner slowly erected.

On the big flag, there is a word "Jing" written on it.

One man stood at the head of the city, covered in blood.

Ahead, the vast expanse is full of iron armor.

Two armies against each other, a million army against one person.

The storm is rolling.

Between heaven and earth, there is silence.

......

Jingmen Pass was finally broken.

On the 10th day, the 100,000 soldiers defending the city were annihilated.

However, it is not that nothing is left.

After Jingmen closed on this day, there was a legend.

Legend has it that among the soldiers who defended the city, there was a little general, he held a big flag in his hand, which said Jingmen, and when the big flag waved, it was the reversal of the wind and clouds, and the big flag was unfurled, and the whole world was in chaos.

The army of millions was captured by him and did not dare to take a step, but the little general died in the end, but where the corpse went, no one knows, and where the banner fell, no one knows.

What his name was and where he lived was no one knew for a long time.

It's just that I heard it later, and there seems to be a storyteller:

"That's the flag that the immortals gave him, it's a flag that represents immortality. ”

He said that the flag could not fall, so heaven and earth came to his aid. ”

"Legend has it that when he died, the wind was howling and the clouds were mourning. ”

"That flag, called-Lingyun Banner. ”
