Volume 1: The Seven Stars of the Twilight of the World Chapter 259 The First Meeting
Tian'en took the guards of the White Shoutian Seal Realm to monitor the Warcraft army of the soldiers every day, and those camps that were getting closer and closer indicated that the Warcraft army was determined to win the little Jinsha, and even coveted the vast fertile land of Kyushu behind Jinsha.
The nearest camp of the demon army had approached the scene of five miles north of Jinsha, but it had never delivered the final blow, and now, the Great Xia defenders who were in charge of the lookout on the city wall could almost see the long fangs of the warriors baring their mouths when they were lined up.
"It's strange, today's war cunning is completely different from what it was then, not only has it lost its animal appearance, but it will also line up the whole army, and it is clearly a disciplined army......"
The people around thought that the "before" in Qin Luoyu's mouth was referring to the comparison when she was in Yuzhu City in Nanjun, but Xiang Bei understood that what Ying Hong's little mouth was referring to should be the battle cunning she saw when she sneaked into the land where she couldn't go. At that time, although the cunning had a mind, it was like a beast that preyed on and fought by nature.
But Xiang Bei also kept in mind the fairy's entrustment, the previous generation of Realm Guardian Venerables went deep into the land, which was already a secret hidden deep in her heart, and the world almost didn't know about it anymore.
Moreover, at this time, standing close to Qin Luoyu was the black-faced Lu Nanxun, Xiang Bei followed Qin Luoyu's instructions, in order not to irritate the stubborn middle-aged man, he deliberately distanced himself from Qin Luoyu.
Geng Zhong asked the soldier beside him who could look at the arrows, "With the speed of warfare, we can block a few rounds of salvos at a distance of five hopes." ”
The Wangjian Warrior was a veteran who had retired from Tianyao, and recalled the tragic scene of Tianyao at that time, and then closed his eyes tightly, obviously even in broad daylight, the terrible scene that came out of his mind still made his heart palpitate.
"My lord, judging from Tianyao's situation, they used to rely on the puppets to consume our crossbow arrows, and when they finally pounced, the arrow array was exhausted, but it is estimated that the best longbow is only three arrows. ”
Geng Zhong turned his head to look at the battlements that were still being reinforced, and behind those dense battlements, even the longbowmen were not matched, so he put on some scarecrows and put on the military uniforms of the archers to make up the numbers.
Tianen on the side and his own Heavenly Seal Realm guards also have their own faction, because they want to expand the scale of the large array to cover the entire Jinsha, so he has to deal with Geng Zhong as well, at least looking down on the enemy camp on the tall city wall, he will also appear occasionally.
Xiang Bei's position is more awkward, he is the guardian of the Heavenly Seal Realm, but he has the official position of the captain of the Great Xia Qian, and there are a group of dead soldiers led by Shen Moyan, the Xuanjia Divine Strategy.
Fortunately, Geng Zhong separated him from Qin Luoyu, and Shen Moyan helped him separate Tian'en, but in front of everyone, he tried to minimize the presence of the word, and also to take care of Lu Nanxun's thorny emotions.
But Geng Zhong didn't bother to think about it so much, he just repeatedly told Li Heng, who was still responsible for supervising the safety of the homeless camps in Wengcheng, and asked him to take care of the situation in the homeless camps.
Li Heng was full of eyeliner in the camp, and Geng Zhong and the eldest grandson couldn't hide the secret from him, so he naturally understood what Geng Zhong meant, and arranged the best place for the eldest grandson sisters to settle down.
Soon everyone stopped talking, seeing that the camp of those demonic beast armies was getting bigger and bigger, almost extending to the horizon as far as the eye could see, this feeling of dark clouds pressing down on the top made everyone a little breathless.
Finally, after walking on thin ice Jinsha persisted for more than half a month, he finally waited for a good news, a tired Changsheng carrier pigeon brought news from the northern Xinjiang, and the Changsheng border army led by General Chang Poyu defeated the Northern Wilderness rangers in one go, not only cutting off their large amount of grain and grass, but also almost killing the barbarian leader of the Northern Wilderness. At present, the division has rushed back to Jinsha, and with the Changsheng stragglers in northern Xinjiang who have been incorporated along the way, the current strength has increased instead of decreasing compared with when it left Jinsha. Hopefully, we must hold on to the sands for these two days and wait for the reinforcements to return.
Now Xiang Bei can move around freely, and from time to time he can also study a period of boxing and kicking to help him recover. When Geng Zhong told Xiang Bei the good news for the first time, Xiang Bei was not as excited as Geng Zhong imagined, and his brows were locked and he pondered for a long time.
Geng Zhong felt a little puzzled, and asked Xiang Bei what he meant, but he didn't expect a good brother who had nothing to say, but he wanted to say something and stopped, just coping with a sentence,
"General Chang really succeeded, which is really gratifying. ”
Geng Zhong followed Xiang Bei's tone, and became elated again, "That's, that's, brother, this is my Great Xia, I originally thought that Jinsha City couldn't be saved." ”
......
Sure enough, two days later, in the afternoon, a victorious army swept up in dust and drove into Sands City. This tired team has brought hope of survival to the Jinsha soldiers and civilians who have been struggling in despair.
But Chang Polu got off the carriage and was sent directly into his residence by a small sedan chair in Tsing Yi, and Geng Zhong, who was lined up to welcome him, wanted to approach several times, but was stopped by Chang Polu's personal guards.
"General Chang has been fighting for days, and the high-intensity rapid march has returned to Jinsha, and now people are sleepy and tired, and they need to take a good rest, please calm down and wait for General Chang's health to improve, and then summon him. ”
"What?" Geng Zhong has always been regarded as his own by Chang Po, and even he himself was rejected by Chang Po, which made Geng Zhong deeply uneasy, and he had to discuss with Xiang Bei in private, what is the current situation.
Xiang Bei didn't dare to say what he thought in his heart, but just appeased Geng Zhong, "Big brother, since the general said that his body is fine, you don't have to worry too much, at the moment, it is the first responsibility to watch out for the enemy outside the city." ”
Geng Zhong, who has always been cunning and resourceful, didn't know what was wrong this time, and he seemed at a loss. But Xiang Bei had to beware of the current situation, he was originally an outsider, and he didn't have much affection for the Changsheng of the Northern Army of Great Xia, so he could also look at the problems in the Changsheng Army more objectively, not only were there many factions, but there were many gaps between each other, these Changsheng generals who had the aura of the descendants of the Great Xia God of War, but each had their own careful thoughts, let Xiang Bei see too much of the foundation of human nature.
General Chang did not go out of the door, or he was seriously wounded, and it was inconvenient to show people to shake the morale of the army. Otherwise, the strong dragon can't suppress the ground snake, and deliberately avoid Lu Jichuan and Ma Zheng, the defenders of Jinsha.
On the surface, Xiang Bei was not too entangled in General Chang's arrangement, but in private, Xiang Bei told Shen Moyan that he must send his brothers to keep an eye on Lu Jichuan, Ma Zheng and General Chang's residence, and once there is any trouble, he must report it to himself as soon as possible.
In this way, this support army, which was originally supposed to bring hope, began to have an undercurrent surging in the entire Jinsha City, and this support army was all under the control of Lu Jichuan and Ma Zheng.
Geng Zhong saw that Chang Poyu was injured and avoided everyone, he panicked for a while, and after communicating with Xiang Bei, there was no more gain, so he decided to take a risk and study Chang Poyu's situation clearly first.
After the night patrol was over, Geng Zhong took his subordinates to patrol to Chang Poyu's door "by chance", and saw that a few attendants were still guarding the gate, Geng Zhong couldn't help but come forward to talk,
"A few brothers looked at some of them, they came from the northern Xinjiang to support our Jinsha. Geng Zhong thanked him first. There are some food and drinks here to warm up the bodies of the brothers and relieve their fatigue......"
Saying that, Geng Zhong wanted to bring the wine and food he had "specially" prepared, but was rejected by the guards on duty.
"Lord Geng, we have your heart, but at present, the brothers are on duty, and we can't enjoy your good intentions. ”
Geng Zhong's original plan was to invite wine and meat, and replace the responsibility of guarding Chang Po with his cronies, but those tall and tall attendants just resisted the temptation of food, which made Geng Zhong's carefully prepared plan quite embarrassing.
Just when the two groups of people at the door were pushing and shoving, a black shadow took advantage of the chaos to rise from the back wall, and the wall more than a foot high was quietly turned over by him, and then fell into a low bush behind the wall, hidden for a while, to see that there was no one around, and then under the cover of night, he touched towards the main house.
Suddenly, footsteps were heard, and the black shadow quickly crouched down, hiding its body in the darkness.
Then the torch in the hand of the person came, Xiang Bei recognized it, this person was a personal entourage who had been following Chang Poyu. Xiang Bei thought about it, suddenly pounced, locked the entourage's neck tightly from behind with his elbow socket, and gently pressed the thumb of his right hand towards the retinue's temple, the entourage's eyes were dark in an instant, and the torch in his hand also fell, Xiang Bei lightly hooked his toes, and caught the torch that fell to the ground with his other hand.
"I'm asking you questions, nod if you're willing to answer, and if you're not willing to answer, then don't shout, you know?"
The attendant nodded.
......
Geng Zhong has been pestering outside the door for a long time, and he has never had a chance to go in to take a look at Chang Poyu, Xiang Bei asked about the current situation, because he was masked, and he didn't want Chang Poyu to know his actions of breaking into the old general's residence, so he quietly retreated.
Xiang Bei had not fully recovered during this time, especially the weakness and the feeling that he might faint at any time when the Demon Bud Immortal Worm Gu poison attacked, he thought about whether to tell Geng Zhong what he knew.
But there was no result for a while, for the sake of safety, Xiang Bei still ran back to his place first, went to bed, and immediately fell asleep as if he was in a coma.
Xiang Bei seemed to be sleeping very deeply, and in the blink of an eye, he couldn't feel the existence around him at all. But he seemed to sleep very lightly this night, and the feeling of exhaustion that bound his body tightly was like a thousand stones, pressing his body.
But suddenly, he saw an equally thin teenager, at some point, standing in front of his bed.
"Who?" Xiang Bei was shocked and wanted to get up, but found that the boulder pressing on his body seemed to be intentional and conscious, and once he wanted to get up, the stone instantly became heavier, and he couldn't move.
There is no trace of blood on the young man's pale face, and his body is thin, but people have to have a sense of oppression that is quite urban.
He stared at Xiang Bei for a long time, and then said lightly, "You are the guy who can defeat the rabble of the remnants of the army and defeat the two thousand cunning wolves in Yuzhu City?" ”
Seeing that Xiang Bei was still staring at himself with confused eyes, he didn't say anything. The bloodless young man sighed, "Sure enough, the city is very deep, but what makes me strange is that your realm of the beginner Xuan Realm has only just been touched. ”
"My name is Potian", seeing that Xiang Bei was still silent, his cyan face trembled a few times, "I came today because I have something to discuss with you......"
