Outside Pingyang City, next to the high latitude of the Ten Thousand Army, Liu Taozhi suddenly raised his head and stared at it, under the gloomy clouds, a black and golden afterimage was overwhelmed.

"Here we go again...... It seems that this handsome eagle is indeed a little weird!"

It wasn't that he didn't think of dealing with this strange eagle with the method that the Hu people were good at trapping the enemy's eagle, or shooting it down with a strong bow of hundreds of stones, but unfortunately this eagle seemed to be extremely intelligent and keen, and it had been hovering at a very high place, never taking advantage of it.

"If this handsome eagle was raised by the masters of the Zhou army, then the eldest grandson and nephew may not really be beaten as an outcast, and there is still room for turning around in the Northern Zhou Dynasty......"

After making up his mind not to be obsessed with the rise and fall of the Northern Qi Dynasty and let it drift with the flow, Liu Taozhi's only slight obstacle was that the sect he was born in was in a critical period of alternating green and yellow, but there was a difference, although the Demon Dao would not be destroyed, it would inevitably sink into the trough for decades.

However, what you are afraid of will come, Changsun Sheng, who was originally placed on high hopes by the old man of the Demon Xiangdao and sent to the Northern Zhou to bet, was "entrusted with a heavy task" by Yuwen Yong half a month ago, leading a group of good players to rush to the aid and help defend the isolated city of Pingyang, facing the 100,000 army of the Northern Qi and many masters......

Liu Taozhi didn't know that his own nephew would never be stupid enough to recommend himself and put himself in such a situation of nine deaths and one life, obviously he was ruthlessly shady for others.

The court is treacherous, and it is harmless to lose your footing for a while, what I am most afraid of is that Changsun Sheng has been beaten into an outcast, and it is difficult to gain a foothold in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, then all the previous operations will be in vain!

Now since Changsun Sheng has not decisively withdrawn from the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and there are also high-ranking people in the Northern Zhou Dynasty who are always paying attention to the situation of Pingyang City, it can be seen that Changsun Sheng may still be able to make a difference in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and it has not yet reached the most disadvantageous point.

"Well...... I can't say that I, who is a teacher, should wipe this boy's buttocks, lest he die in the city. ”

A wry smile flashed in Liu Taozhi's indifferent eyes, as the first executioner of the Northern Qi Dynasty, he had killed many innocent princes and magnates on the surface, and secretly killed countless civil and military generals with bad intentions, but he never thought that he himself would have a day of eating inside and out.

............

At the head of Pingyang City, the battle shook the sky, and the half-human-high female wall covered with rammed earth and bricks had already been bulldozed by the siege ladder, and it could no longer provide cover for the soldiers defending the city.

Changsun Sheng's armor was ragged, the blood was mottled, the refined short spear flew up and down, and the tip of the spear was cold and bloomed with thousands of pear blossoms. Falling into the blue, the three Qi army masters spurted blood and retreated, and without hesitation, they turned over and jumped off the city.

Obviously physically and mentally exhausted, Changsun Sheng couldn't take a breath, and hurriedly rushed to another critical section of the wall, commanding the surviving elite soldiers to push the group of soldiers who had climbed to the top of the city down......

He has done something like this many times in the past half a month!

How many masters are there in the army of hundreds of thousands?

In the past, Changsun Sheng only had a general idea, but he didn't care much about it, but the continuous hard fighting day after day for half a month made his scalp tingle when he thought about it, and it seemed that so far, there were still unfamiliar faces emerging in the masters who fought with him every day.

The most dangerous time, when three days ago, the only remaining general of the Fang Jin Northern Qi clan, Ande Wang Gao Yanzong, personally led the army to the city, Changsun Sheng and Gao Yanzong fought only more than ten moves before he was injured and vomited blood, if it wasn't for Liang Shiyan's timely rescue, he would have fallen under the invincible horse chopping knife in Gao Yanzong's hands with hatred.

Despite this, Yang Quan, who was also the deputy of the city guard, was only negligent in the guards of the heavy generals, and he immediately cut Gao Yanzong in two, staining the city with blood, which made many Zhou army masters below Liang Shiyan very frightened.

Changsun Sheng had long heard of Gao Yanzong's prestige, and the Demon Dao was already unclear with Northern Qi, and he had a deep understanding of the various masters of Northern Qi Wenwu, but he still didn't expect that Gao Yanzong, who was only six or seven years older than him, was excellent in the art of war, and his sword skills were even more sophisticated, and there were unpredictable subtle changes in the killing machine.

What's more, he has Liu Taozhi, the master of the world's sword skills, and naturally knows three of the superior knife techniques, but he is still not immune to being injured under Gao Yanzong's knife in a moment, which shows that Gao Yanzong's knife skills are strong, and he is really qualified to compete for the first knife hand in the world.

It is said that Gao Yanzong was stubborn when he was young, and his body was as fat as a pig, but later he worked hard, and he actually practiced the divine power of nine bulls and two tigers with his superhuman burly physique, and since then he has galloped like lightning and is invincible......

The only thing that is criticized is that Gao Yanzong was too unscrupulous in order to sharpen his sword skills, as a member of the royal family, he not only repeatedly challenged many masters from top to bottom of the Northern Qi Dynasty, but also used prisoners to test knife moves, and killed too much, which provoked Gao Zhan, a faint monarch who was greedy for wine, couldn't see it, and sent someone to whip him......"

Now it seems that Gao Yanzong's extreme move is really worth it!

Changsun Sheng's mind turned, perhaps, it was because I pursued perfection too much, thought too much, and constrained myself everywhere, so that I lacked strength and failed to become one of the top masters in the world for a long time......

Suddenly, a Qi general flew over, exchanged a few moves with Changsun Sheng in the electric light and flint, and then used the wrestling to confront him, and whispered like a mosquito fly: "Be careful of the east, the tunnel is trapped in the city......"

After saying this, Qi will pretend to be invincible and retreat to the city.

Changsun Sheng thought for a while, but he was shocked into a cold sweat, and while rushing to the east of the city, he turned his head and glanced at the depths of the Qi army camp, implying gratitude.

He didn't know the Qi general just now, obviously he was not a person from the Demon Dao, and in Northern Qi, there was only one person who had this hidden connection to drive the Qi army to report to him, the "enemy general".

The method of attacking the city through tunnels is not new, and the defense method of the defending side is also very simple, as long as the pit is dug along the inner circle of the city wall and placed a large water tank, and a special person can be sent to monitor the movement underground.

Liang Shiyan, Changsun Sheng and other generals who defended the city had already known about the action of the Qi army digging tunnels outside the eastern city, but they always thought that the Qi army was going to dig tunnels into the city and wait for an opportunity to sneak attack.

And they had already planned that when the Qi army dug the tunnel, they would use irrigation, arson, poisonous smoke and other shady methods to let the Qi army in the tunnel drink a pot, but unexpectedly, the real purpose of the Qi army was to prepare to hollow out a section of the foundation under the city wall, so that the city wall would collapse.

It must be known that the Qi army outside the city is more than ten times that of the Zhou army in the city, and the Zhou army can barely resist the onslaught of the Qi army by virtue of the advantage of the city wall.

Changsun Sheng understood that the top priority was to use a master who was proficient in the [Technique of Listening to the Earth] to find out the progress of the Qi army in hollowing out the foundation of the city wall from the tunnel, and mobilize enough sandbags for rolling wood as soon as possible.

As soon as the city wall collapsed and collapsed, all efforts were made to plug the gap with rolling wooden sandbags and rush to repair the city wall...... In short, never let the Qi army take the opportunity to break into the city!

............

The Imperial Tent of the Qi Army.

Gao Xiaoheng, the great Sima (secretary of the military department), is reporting to Gao Wei, "The foundation of the city wall has been hollowed out, and the soldiers are withdrawing, as long as His Majesty gives an order, the soldiers can use ropes to pull down the bracket at any time, and the city wall will collapse immediately, and our army can drive straight into the ......."

Gao Wei swept away the impatience that had been unfavorable to the siege of the city in recent days, and Long Yan said with great joy: "Okay......!

Seeing this, Liu Taozhi, who was waiting next to him, sighed secretly: Unexpectedly, the people below were eager to make meritorious contributions and hollow out the foundation of the city wall so quickly...... Okay, help people to the end, and I'll give it to you again

Immediately leaned over and said in Gao Wei's ear: "Your Majesty, don't you invite Concubine Shu Niangniang to come and watch the soldiers break the city and kill the enemy?"

Gao Wei's face was full of approval, and he immediately changed his order, "Let's move slowly, wait for me to come to the battle, cheer for all the soldiers, and strive to conquer Pingyang City in one fell swoop!"

After speaking, the ministers of civil and military affairs, who looked at each other from below, recruited a small eunuch and said in a low voice: "Go and summon Concubine Shu to accompany ......."

Liu Taozhi quietly followed behind the little eunuch and came to Feng Xiaolian's camp, but saw that Feng Xiaolian was as lazy as ever, he had just gotten up, and he was still dressed in front of the dresser in front of the mirror, and Gu Ying felt sorry for himself.

After the little eunuch conveyed Gao Wei's will, Liu Taozhi said lightly: "Today is a big day for Your Majesty to drive the expedition in person and win the flag, do you need to dress up to attend to look solemn?"

The strange thing is that Feng Xiaolian actually reversed his previous attitude of respect and awe to Liu Taozhi, giggled inexplicably, like a pearl falling on a silver plate, Shi Shiran got up and came to Liu Taozhi, his pretty face almost reached his nose, and the seductive fragrance drilled straight into his nostrils, and he was very ambiguous for a while.

"If the seniors want the slave family to delay time, just say it, why beat around the bush?"

Liu Taozhi's expression was shocked, and his eyes shot out a sharp light like a knife, staring at Feng Xiaolian tightly, as if he wanted to see her inside and out.

Feng Xiaolian's autumn-like pupils rippled with a mysterious essence, and he looked at him without hesitation, and even leaned forward even more presumptuously, sticking to his arms, regardless of the fact that the mountain **peak was about to crack his clothes, and his hard chest was squeezed and deformed.

Xiang *** lips opened and closed: "Why do you look at the slave family like this?" Could it be ......" said that her beautiful eyes lit up, and then turned into infinite sadness, and slowly raised a pair of slender hands, wanting to caress Liu Taozhi's cheeks full of vicissitudes, and sighed lightly: "I knew that you also had such thoughts, and you should have asked the master to give the slave family to you, wouldn't it be that a lover would have become a family member early?"

It's a pity that now the slave family serves the faint king with humiliation, washing his face with tears all day long, and letting others despise the ** cheap ......"

At the moment when this pair of Frost and Snow Bullying Rou was about to touch Liu Taozhi's cheeks, he burst out with a round of energy without warning, but Feng Xiaolian retreated with unprecedented agility, avoiding the wild energy.

This seems ordinary, but in fact it is extremely subtle, not only does she show her clever skills that do not belong to Feng Xiaolian, but it is more like she has detected the trend of the true qi in his body in advance with some strange ability!

Liu Taozhi's face was calm, and her sharp eyes seemed to want to penetrate into the depths of her pupils, and she said word by word: "Such a huge and incomparable and ethereal spiritual power...... You're not Feng Xiaolian!"

Feng Xiaolian chuckled, "The slave family is not Feng Xiaolian, who is it?"

Liu Taozhi frowned and pondered for a moment, then his expression suddenly changed, and he said in shock: "[Dao Heart Demon Cultivation Great ** Method]...... You're that little ghost in the Heavenly Pavilion!"

Feng Xiaolian didn't hesitate to throw a flattering *** look, "There is no reward for answering correctly......"

The mysterious essence in the depths of her pupils quietly dissipated, and her pretty face appeared a little stunned, as if she had woken up from a reckless dream.

............

The head of the eastern city of Binh Duong.

Changsun Sheng looked at the rolling wooden sandbags that were quickly piled up above and below the city, and while he was greatly relieved, he secretly wondered.

"Didn't the Qi army have hollowed out the foundation of the city wall, why didn't they capture the city and attack it for a long time......?

After thinking about it for a long time, he gradually connected everything in the past, and he suddenly looked shocked, and it was difficult to hide his shock, "Could it be that the reason why 'Pei Ju' put me in the battle situation of Pingyang City, the malicious revenge on the surface is just a pretense, but in fact, it is precisely because he has taken a fancy to the relationship between me and my uncle, and forced the two of us to defend Pingyang City together without a trace?"

In a trance, he felt more and more that this speculation was infinitely close to the truth, and he couldn't help but feel creepy about the depth of 'Pei Ju's thoughts, and his face changed for a while.

After a long bang, a loud bang in front of him woke him up, and a section of the city wall more than ten feet long caved down, followed by dust that rushed into the sky.

Without waiting for the earth and masonry under the collapsed city wall to stop rolling, the Qi army had a chance to advance, and the soldiers of the Zhou army who had been preparing for a long time in the city had already shouted in unison and threw out the things in their hands......

Seeing this, Changsun Sheng's heart finally fell back into his stomach, but a trace of bitterness appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"That's it...... This time, I stuck to Pingyang City and fought with all kinds of masters of the Qi army, which made my martial arts cultivation very beneficial, even if it was put together by someone who was real or fake, it was worth it!"

............

Fifty or sixty miles south of Pingyang City, on the banks of the Lianshui River.

Shi Zhixuan put a pink**colored belly** pocket back into his arms, and the corners of his mouth rippled with a satisfied smile of bad taste, "Pingyang City is safe!"

In any case, the unification of the world is related to his and Xiang Yutian's plan, and the battle of Pingyang is the first step of the Northern Zhou Dynasty to defeat the Northern Qi Dynasty, and it is also the opening of the unification of the world.

Therefore, his attitude towards the war was not as careless and indifferent as he showed when he perfunctory Yu Wenxian yesterday, but he was extremely concerned, and quietly mobilized all the available factors to ensure that Pingyang was not lost.

"Everything is under control ......" (To be continued.) )
