Chapter 52: Breaking Away
At dawn, I don't know if Haotian opened his eyes. A goshawk finally flew in Qubai City.
Feng Shuai said that there would be a cavalry of the Lieshan Army in the northwest Sunset Pass that would set off overnight.
The night began to recede, and the sun rose with a faint mist, and although it was not as bright as usual, it had returned.
That's a good thing.
As a result, more and more surviving people, merchants, soldiers, officials, and even embroidery-eyed birds were gathered from the ruins of Qubai City to the north gate.
Counting all the way, Qu Baicheng, which has tens of thousands of residents, still has three or four out of ten left after yesterday's disaster.
People are doing their best to prepare for today's breakout.
......
The same goes for monsters.
On the other side of the city wall, tens of thousands of monsters woke up in the morning light and shouted excitedly in the wilderness.
......
On the contrary, after yesterday's panic and panic, and after a long night of waiting, Qubai City was depressed and quiet.
After Changdu County retreated to the breakout team with more than 200 surviving border troops and government soldiers, Li Jingyu led forty or fifty military horses from the south of the city and two or three hundred Xiuzi battalions that had finally gathered together as the front army for the breakthrough.
Not only them, but also some of the common people also got the weapons and torches made of oil that the city defense army had found from the northern camp overnight.
These monsters are afraid of fire, and people hope to use these scorching fireworks to force the monsters back in the breakout.
The gates of the city were opened.
On the other side of the wilderness, the monsters standing at the front saw the pale faces under the city gates, and they stood up.
Row after row, like a flowing river, the monsters of the entire wilderness in front of Qubai City stood up in order.
......
Li Jingyu walked to the front of the team and led the forty or fifty military horses to the city gate with chains. Immediately afterwards, they carried small jars of liquor and oil on each horse's body.
This is intended to be used for ignition.
When everything was ready, the soldiers drew their swords at the same time, pointing at the green tide.
Li Jingyu shouted: "It's just a group of brutes, break through them, and in front of you is the cavalry of the Lieshan Army sent by the Wind Marshal." ”
There was a cheer in the wooden word camp.
Competing against each other, there was a strange cry of mockery from the monsters in the front row. Then they dispersed, and a tall siege engine emerged from the distant mist. By the morning sun, people can faintly see the main general sitting in front of the car.
It's time to close the net.
The Red Flower first knelt down and kowtowed to the chasm, then pressed its fists between its foreheads and half-crouched in a salute.
All the monsters followed suit, kowtowing and saluting.
As if very satisfied, the red flower will swing open the neck, and the mountain exhaled twice. Listening to that voice, there is a faint accent of the word "kill" in the Daxia language.
When several leaders heard this, they led the monsters into a phalanx and pressed towards Qu Baicheng step by step.
Li Jingyu lit a torch and carried it in his hand, preparing to light the spirits and oil after the horses. He was ready to die today, and despite the pain of not stuttering and burning, he took off his wide robe and put on the general's armor, a symbol of glory.
"Brothers, kill me!"
He was answered by the majestic cries of the Xiuzi camp and the shrill shouts of the monsters on the other side.
The monsters' voices were noticeably louder, coming from all directions, piercing people's eardrums.
......
The generals of the Xiuzi battalion were not convinced, and roared back: "The iron armor is here!"
Someone wanted to overshadow them, it was the soldiers of the city defense army at the end of the team shouting: "For the Great Xia Kingdom!" is obviously such a slogan that wears out people's ears, but at this time, it also sounds like a tragic taste.
Interestingly, Changdu County added another mountain cry, which faintly suppressed the previous hundred people.
He craned his neck, blushed, and let out a long roar like a golden stone. I don't know if it's because my whole body is overexerted, but after roaring, the scars in his empty cuffs suddenly burst open, and blood continues to flow outward.
The white wolf hurriedly went up from behind to support his body.
......
Unexpectedly, bursts of thunder also sounded among the people of the breakthrough team.
I don't know who got up and screamed. Soon everyone opened their voices and roared to the sky. Although the voices of the crowd were chaotic, some were rough, some were female and even childlike, but they already sounded like they could not be blasphemed.
Nian An carried Qiuqiu on his back, pulled out his iron sword and pointed at the sky, shouting: "Jian Yi!"
There were seven or eight little beggars who had lived in the temple in the south of the city since they were children, and said in their hearts, "Live." ”
Some people are unyielding, and some people are fearless in singing.
The roar was like a wave, one wave after another.
I don't know if I'm infected. Even one of the horses at the front of the breakout team raised its front hooves and stood up neighing.
The monsters opened their foul mouths and replied with a louder roar.
......
The breakout team prepares to break out of the cage.
Mr. Wei, who was being escorted in the center of the team, suddenly took a step forward, he turned his back to face Chang Qiushi and said: "Everyone's path is different, don't learn from one person, and don't be negative for one person's life." “
Chang Qiushi was holding his sister in his arms, and his face was a little strange.
The Qi Ye behind him was wearing a scholar's robe and clenched his fists tightly.
The old man suddenly turned around and trotted, and he squeezed through the breakout line all the way to the front of everyone.
It seemed that he was old and a little tired from running, and after Mr. Wei stood still, he took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat on his face tremblingly.
After that, he took out the book from his bosom and spread it out in his hand.
Li Jingyu raised his eyebrows, what does Mr. Shi Xin mean?
Mr. Wei whispered, "Try it." ”
Then he turned to face the surprised crowd with a calm smile on his face.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
The monsters walked like thunder, getting closer and closer to the north gate. The centurion of the Xiuzi battalion went up and prepared to pull the old gentleman away.
Mr. Wei clumsily shook off the man's hand on his shoulder, raised his arm and pointed to the group of scholars who were wrapped in the middle of the line and said, "The world whispers, and it is useless to be scholars. ”
"Have you ever been convinced?"
Changdu Jun shouted behind the team: "Stone Heart?"
"The monster is getting closer and closer, and if you don't charge, you won't have a chance!" Mr. Stone Heart is doing?" Durry reminded General Li with an anxious face.
Li Jingyu was holding a torch in his hand at this time and was about to light some oil, so he motioned with his eyes to Chen Chong to go up and help the centurion pull Mr. Wei away.
The giant reached out.
"Xu Hongdou. Mr. Wei read out a name.
"I'll read to you!"
Outside the city, the roar of the Red Flower Lord, a symbol of the charge, suddenly sounded.
The old man turned the first page of the world's words, and here were her notes.
He rubbed his fingers on the beautiful handwriting, and then looked around at the bleak border city and shouted: "If Jiang Hainong doesn't notice it, I will recommend the sky with my blood!"
He looked up.
In an instant, a surging wave of qi poured out from his body, knocking the giant to the ground. The aftermath of this wave of qi did not stop, and it actually pressed the team of thousands of people behind them backwards together with the ground under their feet.
It was obviously windless, but the old gentleman's white hair was flying, and the words of the world that were spread out in his hand suddenly exploded, scattering countless pages and floating around him.
Changdu County was dumbfounded, Shi Xin will practice?
The old gentleman took a step forward.
Then a brilliant thunderbolt fell from heaven and struck over his head.
The old gentleman was silent, but took another step, and then a second thunderbolt struck.
He walked a total of six steps, and six heavenly thunderbolts fell.
Qi Ye, who was wearing a bachelor's robe and cultivating Confucianism, had already knelt down with tears on his face.
One thunder and one catastrophe, six thunders, is already a sub-saint in Confucianism and Taoism.
Mr. Wei still stood with his back to the tens of thousands of monsters rushing like rivers and seas.
He pointed to Dongtian and shouted: "Li Dongyang, you are not as good as me in this life!"
As a result, countless books in Qubai's ruins poured towards him together.
Layers of books rain, covering the sky and the sun.
The old gentleman smiled at Qu Bai and the others, and flew out with his back. The books floated hundreds of feet above him in the sky, and began to burn in the early morning light.
Then he turned around, faced the monster tide, and shouted to the sky: "I'm going to see Xu Hongdou, who, dare, block, me?"
......
Good fellow, the Red Flower General was so frightened that he fell from the siege engine.
