Chapter 312: Luring the Enemy
On the first day of the lunar month, at night, the silver piled up in the front yard of the Dragon King's Mansion had not been cleared, the thick snow had frozen into a hard shell outside, and the towering red crow flag next to it hung weakly.
One of the Broncos' biggest attacks took place on this day.
In the past ten days, both sides have suffered heavy injuries, with more than 50 casualties in the Mustang Gang, more than 30 people killed in the Tianshan Sect, and more than a dozen Great Snow Mountain swordsmen martyred.
There was not much power left in the Dragon King's hands.
The Tianshan Sect began to be timid, they were originally a secret organization, hoping that one day they would be able to unite most of the swordsmen in Nancheng and win by quantity, like this, they would go toe-to-toe with the enemy, and they would not be in line with the strategy of the founder, and the rumors of the decline of the Dragon King's sword technique also made some members of the organization uneasy.
"I'm so sorry, Dragonlord. "Blacksmith Lao Hong made a special trip to the Dragon King's Mansion to explain the difficulties of the Tianshan Sect, "We can't go on like this, we decided to retreat to the swordsmen, like me who have already revealed their identities, forget it, other members can no longer openly help the Dragon King." ”
Gu Shenwei couldn't complain about the blacksmith Lao Hong, he felt that it was he who should be sorry, he had never told the Tianshan Sect that the fight with the Mustang Gang these days was just a trick to lure the enemy.
In this way, there were less than fifty swordsmen left in the Tianshan Sect whose identities were revealed, and most of them were not stationed in the Dragon King's Mansion in the west, but remained in the blacksmith village in the east.
Only Lin Xiaoshan led seven or eight swordsmen to stay voluntarily, "We are willing to live and die with the Dragon King." ”
Lao Hong was helpless about his decision, sighed, and wanted to say something, but the situation in front of him was beyond his control, and he could only leave a single knife made by himself to Lin Xiaoshan, "It's not a treasure knife, and it has never been used, let it get some blood." ”
Forty more swordsmen were sent from the camp of the Great Snow Mountain, and there was no way to do more, and if the number was exceeded, the Jinpeng Castle would oppose it, and the combat force in the Dragon King's Mansion would therefore reach more than fifty.
Gu Shenwei summoned the people in the mansion who did not know martial arts, dismissed the slaves, and asked Fang Wen to move to Beicheng with Xu Xiaoyi and Jiang and others, and with the protection of the envoy of the Central Plains, they should be very safe.
Xu Xiaoyi believed in the Dragon King, but Fang Wen was uneasy in his heart, his fate had been firmly tied to the Dragon King, both loss and glory, "Dragon King, you know it in your heart, right?"
Gu Shenwei nodded, Fang Wen was able to talk above the temple and fight for the interests of the Great Snow Mountain, but he was not suitable to participate in hand-to-hand combat, Gu Shenwei knew this very well, so he didn't tell him his plan to lure the enemy.
The last person he dealt with was Xu Yanwei, "You, either return to Jinpeng Castle here, or follow Xiaoyi together, no matter where you go, you are not allowed to enter the Dragon King's Mansion again." ”
"Why do you want to expel me?" asked Xu Yan in surprise, feeling that he didn't deserve this kind of treatment.
"No why, it's my order. Gu Shenwei had been hesitating, but now he had finally made up his mind to cut off all ties with Jinpeng Castle.
The dragon king's face was expressionless, Xu Yanwei felt that her heart was sudden, it was under this kind of gaze that she made a blood oath with the young man, "No, I won't go back to Jinpeng Castle, that woman is too difficult to deal with, and I won't go to Beicheng." ”
A trace of murderous aura flashed in the Dragon King's eyes, Xu Yanwei couldn't help but be a little shorter, and hurriedly added: "I'll also go to Liuren Alley, you said to give me a few thousand taels of silver, and I'll continue to collect information for you." ”
"Take it from the front yard. Gu Shenwei felt that such Xu Yanwei was at least somewhat useful.
Xu Yan went to the front yard with a smile on her face, she knew that she was not strong enough, so she immediately selected two of the dismissed slaves and pry the snow shell with her to break the silver.
Xu Xiaoyi followed behind her sister and whispered to persuade her, hoping to make her change her mind.
The sister and brother believed in the Dragon King in their hearts, and didn't think that there was any risk in this final battle, but Gu Shenwei was not 100% sure.
The power of the Mustang Gang is larger than Gu Shenwei's initial estimate, and after many battles, there are still a lot left, among which there are still twenty or thirty masters of the Proud Building, and the fifty or so people in the Dragon King's Mansion are by no means opponents.
After sacrificing dozens of lives, Gu Shenwei's hopes for finally defeating the Mustang Gang were pinned on Xiaoyuetang.
Because of the betrayal of the Qingmian Guan Shang, Jinpeng Castle should have guessed the existence of Xiaoyuetang, and the news would naturally reach the ears of the wild horses, but the Lotus Girl and the others had an advantage, they had already obtained the "Book of No Dao", and after three years of cultivation, they would cultivate a group of masters, which had never been known to the world.
Even Gu Shenwei has never seen it.
The bigger hidden danger is the lotus girl, Gu Shenwei has had the pain of cutting his skin, and every trace of chill in the dantian reminds him not to trust this woman anymore.
Xiao Yuetang's ambition must not stop at capturing Jinpeng Castle, they are deliberately trying to break into the forces of all sides, and there must be a greater conspiracy.
Gu Shenwei agreed to unite with Xiaoyuetang at that time, but for the next few days, he kept thinking about it in his heart, and finally he came to the conclusion that he would rather let the lotus girl follow him than let her hide in the dark.
The ambush of the Broncos will be a small test, and if Xiaoyuetang is willing to do its best, the cooperation between the two sides will continue for a while, and maybe even until the fall of Jinpeng Castle.
The Tianshan Sect died down and took the initiative to withdraw from the war, but the Wild Horse Gang did not accept it immediately, but sent people to assassinate several Tianshan Sect swordsmen, and then turned their head to the Dragon King's Mansion.
On the first day of the lunar month, the windless cold pressed on Biyucheng, the ice and snow shell of the silver mountain in the front yard was almost as hard as steel, and the hole dug by Xu Yanwei was still there, like an ugly mouth.
In the first half of the night, what came to the Dragon King's Mansion to provoke was a group of wandering swordsmen and bandits who came to hear the news.
What attracted them was not the honor of killing the dragon king, but the large pile of silver.
After the efforts of the Mustang Gang to persuade and hint, many people have begun to believe that the Dragon King's sword skills are not as good as before, and they have also heard that the second half of the first night of the first lunar month will be the final battle, if they don't rob the silver in the first half of the night, there will be no chance in the future.
The lesson of blood can't resist the temptation of money, and there are more people who come back to grab money, and there are almost more than 200 people.
The source of the money grabbers is complicated, but under the deterrence of several tycoons, they are actually quite organized, they throw torches into the front yard of the Dragon King's Mansion around the second watch, and only after the snow shell of the silver mountain is baked, they rush in from all directions one after another.
The Crow Banner became a pillar of fire, shining brightly on the pile of silver.
The Dragon King's Mansion was unstoppable, in fact, Gu Shenwei and more than fifty guards were all guarding the backyard, and his strength could not be wasted on these rabble.
The robbers were extremely excited, which showed that the rumors were right, the Dragon King's sword technique had weakened, and he had no strength left to protect the two million taels of silver.
Yinshan was quickly divided, during which there were many disputes, even the martial arts heroes could not control it, and when the robbers left one after another, more than a dozen corpses were left in the front yard.
Some of the robbers hid the silver and returned, and they were inspired by the dragon king's weakness and developed a greater ambition to kill the dragon king and seize the two murderous weapons that martial arts practitioners coveted - the Wufeng Sword and the Dragon Head Sword.
The bandits' provocation was tentative at first, but when they found out that the Dragon King's Mansion was guarding the backyard and the Dragon King was reluctant to show up, they launched a large-scale attack.
The dragon king appeared immediately, and his sword skills had indeed declined, but he was still handy in the face of a group of arrogant bandits.
He killed three people in a row, and the swordsmen of the Great Snow Mountain flew with heavy swords, killing more than ten people in an instant.
The robbers, who thought they had a bargain to choose from, immediately scattered, most of them went back to count the silver, and a small part hid nearby, waiting to watch the decisive battle between the Mustang Gang and the Great Snow Mountain.
It's definitely a rare and exciting fight.
Mustang was able to hold his breath until the early hours of the morning, when most of the robbers who were waiting to see the excitement could not stand the biting cold and retreated one after another, and ninety of the most elite members of the Mustang Gang were killed.
Mustang did not come to the battlefield in person, and the commander was Peng Xianren of the proud building.
The white-faced Peng Immortal held a long sword in his hand, standing on the roof of the front yard, his white clothes fluttering, under the light of the faint morning light, like a real immortal, "Capture Yang Huan alive." ”
These four words are the order for the beginning of the battle.
A scuffle, this is Gu Shenwei's least favorite way of fighting, there is no place on the ground, he can only run around the roof, lure the enemy to pursue, occasionally turn around and stab, stabbing the enemy who runs too fast and falls alone, there is no way to help the guards of the Dragon King's Mansion.
Soon, he was targeted by Peng Xianren, and he couldn't get rid of it, and it wouldn't be long before he fell into the encirclement of the disciples of the Proud Building.
Gu Shenwei originally wanted to wait for the wild horse to appear before summoning the Xiaoyue Hall disciples, but as the number of casualties on the ground increased, he could only advance.
He suddenly changed direction, and instead of circling around the roof of the backyard, he jumped into the front yard.
"The Dragon King wants to escape!"
"Stay!"
Peng Xianren made up his mind to capture the Dragon King alive this time, and had already arranged for people in the front yard, and as soon as Gu Shenwei ran in, he bumped into six or seven disciples of the proud building.
This is the time for the Dutch Maiden to appear, as before, one of them is responsible for luring the enemy into the trap, and the other is ambushed in the shadows to snipe.
The Dutch girl only brought nine people, nine people who killed people in cold blood and ruthlessly.
From the first day of practicing the "Book of the Dead", the practice method of the lotus girl and Gu Shenwei was different, she blindly pursued "killing", and once the murderous aura was released, even Gu Shenwei often felt fear.
In the past three years, she has been practicing diligently, striving for excellence in martial arts, and her murderous aura is three points colder than the suffocating chill in the early morning.
Faced with the female killer who suddenly appeared, a proud disciple even forgot to dodge and stood in place and was killed.
"The Book of the Dead" has a fatal flaw, it can only be improved by killing masters who are about the same strength as themselves, and when there is no one to kill the swordsmanship, it can only "commit suicide", for this reason, Gu Shenwei chose to kill only one person with the sword every year, and integrated part of the sword theory into the sword technique, so as to delay the improvement of the swordsmanship.
But the Dutch girl used a sword, the sword with the word "Huan" that she had never replaced, galloping and leaping, killing with one blow, and not worrying about being eaten by swordsmanship at all.
Gu Shenwei was taken aback in his heart, looking at this kind of posture, even if his internal strength was not damaged, he was not the opponent of the lotus girl.
He didn't understand why.
