Chapter 271: Between Advance and Retreat

"Is it? That Duke took the forty-two cities of Dongcheng District and made a bet with the Duke of Chu that as long as the Duke of Chu won over the Duke of Chu, would he dare?!"

Wu Xin pretended to be disdainful and provoked, looked at Yang Xuangan's eyes, full of contempt and shame, and shook his head slightly.

"What do you mean?" Yang Xuangan asked with a gloomy face.

Wu Xin replied with a smile: "It's very simple! You and I are fighting alone in front of the armies of both sides and countless heroes. If the Duke of Chu wins, Bengong will lead his army to withdraw from the 42 cities of Dongcheng District and give them to the Duke of Chu; if the Duke of Chu is defeated, he only needs to give up the eastern city wall. ”

"Huh?"

Yang Xuan was stunned, with a look of ecstasy, and then frowned and asked, "Wu Guogong has done the master?"

"I'm afraid that you won't be able to be the master, my father is staying in the eastern capital, so he naturally becomes the master!" Wu Xin still replied with disdain.

"Wu Guogong?!" Fan Zigai came to Wu Xin's side and shouted in a low voice of concern.

Wu Xin frowned and asked, "What's the matter? Could it be that this duke is left behind in the Eastern Capital, and he can't be the master? Although Lord Shangshu has a higher grade, he can't overstep his authority, right?"

From the point of view of the title, Wu Xin is naturally higher than Fan Zigai, it can be said that in the whole world, except for the emperor and grandson among the emperor's relatives and relatives, there are only a handful of people with a higher title than Wu Xin.

From the point of view of official position, Fan Zigai is the secretary of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and his grade is higher than that of Wu Xin, and it is several levels higher.

"That's not what the old man meant......

Fan Zigai didn't care about Wu Xin's rudeness, and said worriedly. Halfway through his words, he saw Gonggong Li shaking his head at him slightly, and suddenly stopped talking.

is also a close confidant and assistant minister of Yang Tong, the king of Yue, Fan Zigai naturally knows Gonggong Li, it is very strange, Gonggong Li seems to have a lot of confidence in Wuxin?!

Then look at the rest of your side, especially the Great Monks. No one seemed to show a look of worry, some of them showed a look of expectation, and some of them looked at Yang Xuangan's eyes quite strangely...... Sympathy? or schadenfreude?

Underground. What's going on?

......

"Lord?!"

When Fan Zigai worriedly reminded Wu Xin, the same was true of the anti-army camp.

The bet between the two is too big, so big that whether it is Wu Xin or Yang Xuangan, they are a little unbearable!

It can be said that since the battle of the East City Wall, more than one million soldiers have been killed on both sides, corpses and blood. It filled up the eight districts of the eastern city and overflowed the ground of the eight districts.

Wu Xin and Yang Xuangan, if anyone loses, how can they explain to everyone?

"......," Yang Xuangan frowned and pondered.

Emperor Long was quite moved when he saw Yang Xuan, and couldn't help but anxiously advise: "King Yue must not agree, this is the trick of the martial demon!"

Judging from the official position of the Great Sui Empire, Yang Xuangan is the official Duke of Chu and inherited the title of his father Yang Su. Before Yang Guang, the Holy Emperor of Civil and Military Affairs, was officially removed from Yang Xuangan's position, he should be called the Duke of Chu on a formal occasion. Otherwise, there is a suspicion of disrespect to the Great Sui Empire.

From the point of view of fame and prestige, Yang Xuangan is the king of Yue, and he also continued the reputation of his father "Yang Su, the king of Yue of the Nine Heavenly Kings".

Calling the king is more high-end than the high-end atmosphere of the prince, so it is biased towards Yang Xuan's sensitive. Call it the King of Yue, let the world spread the rumors of the battle of the Eastern Capital and the duel between the King of Yue!

"What, do you think that this king is not the opponent of Wu Guogong?" Yang Xuan felt a little displeased with Emperor Long's tone and attitude, and couldn't help but ask angrily.

"Yes! That's true!" Dilong's personality is more upright. He felt a little resentful of Yang Xuan, but he responded mercilessly.

Yang Xuangan's face darkened, and a wave of anger rushed straight to his head. Forced to endure and said in a deep voice: "In the underground, what Wu Guogong borrowed is only the power of the Lotus Shadow Guard and many great cultivators, and it is only in the late stage of qi refining, and even Waigang has not been refined, will this king be defeated?"

It's okay not to mention the underground, Yang Xuangan mentioned it, and the emperor dragon was even more resentful, and he was quite impatient and unceremoniously:

"In the underground, Wu Guogong can chase at the forefront, no one can stop him, and he can't wait to ignore it. Don't forget that he is one of the four great demons, isn't it true that the four demons of your human race can ignore the realm? King Yue also judges the strength of Wu Guogong from the realm?"

"Duke Wu Guo can fight Abba, can King Yue?" said Di Mingdie.

“......”

Yang Xuangan opened his mouth speechlessly, and said in a low voice with some disbelief: "Impossible, right?"

It is rumored that the Barbarian Emperor has a strength comparable to that of the Three Immortals and is the strongest pillar of the Barbarians. It is the four demons of the Demon Gate who support Yang Xuangan, and they also have a lot of respect for the Barbarian Emperor, in Yang Xuangan's opinion, the Barbarian Emperor should be between the Three Immortals and the Four Demons.

Now that Wu Xin can fight with the Barbarian Emperor, in a few years, won't it be against the sky?!

At the time of the final pursuit underground, Yang Xuangan and Wu Xin fought each other, but they were not head-to-head, but they were also separated at the touch of a button. Later, Li Mi cast a spell and moved Yang Xuangan directly, and Yang Xuangan really didn't know the true strength of Wu Xin.

If it weren't for Li Mi and Yang Xuangan, the barbarian emperor would not have been forced to break his leg in the end. Now the two sides are working closely together, and they tacitly agree with each other not to mention the underground affairs, and the barbarians have not told each other about Wuxin.

"How is the discussion of the Duke of Chu?

At this moment, Wu Xin said aloud again, his voice was not loud, but it was heard for more than ten miles. After a pause, he pretended to be cheerful and said loudly:

"The Duke of Chu is known as the god of war, he won't be afraid to fight, right?

"If you want to fight, why do you need to gamble? Every inch of mountains and rivers and every inch of blood, Wu Guogong actually gambled with the land that his children defended with their blood and lives, this is the Great Sui!

Yang Xuangan is brave and good at fighting, and he lacks strategy, but relatively speaking, he is quite wise and cautious. Although he really wanted to take the forty-two cities in Dongcheng District, he didn't dare to take the risk, so he changed his words and politely refused, taking advantage of the situation to smear the Great Sui Empire and Wu Guogong!

"Cowardice is cowardice, why do you need excuses? If you can solve the gambling war, won't it make the good man bleed less?"

Wu Xin shook his head disdainfully, paused, and replied with a smile: "Or...... Change the bet! Chu Guogong's father's sword...... The sword of King Yue is in the hands of this father. This is a token of King Yue, and it is also a relic of his father, does the Duke of Chu want to take it back?"

The words fell, and he glanced at Hongbo.

"...... Sonor"

The sound of the sword unsheathed was clear and pleasant, and the sword light was dazzling.

Yue Wang Jian is famous, and there are naturally many people who recognize it, especially Yang Xuangan's cronies around him, and the people of Yue Wang Yang Su's lineage. There was an uproar all of a sudden, his eyes were hot, and he couldn't wait to snatch back the Yue Wang Sword immediately.

What's even more speechless is that the famous "Sword of the King" Yue Wang Sword, Wu Xin actually gave it to the servant, which is insulting Yang Su, the king of Yue!

“......”

Yang Xuangan's face darkened, and there were vague signs of madness, but he just endured it, and kept chanting his father's teachings in his heart.

Yang Xuangan is Yang Su's eldest son, but he has been competitive since he was a child, and he likes to fight, so he is often taught by Yang Su, reckless and impulsive, brave and ruthless, which is Yang Xuangan's biggest shortcoming.

Thinking of this, Yang Xuan felt angry, sad, helpless, ashamed, etc., and his emotions were extremely complicated.

"Don't you dare? It seems that the Duke of Chu doesn't want to return to the tokens of the king of Yue and the relics of his ancestors!

Wu Xin was quite speechless, and luck said loudly, the words fell, and he turned around and was about to lead the crowd away.

"Kill!"

Yang Xuan felt irrepressible anger, took the ancient spear held by the personal guard, and waved it forward, his luck was overblown.

"Knock, knock, knock......"

The anti-army war drums, which were already beating drums to help the battle, suddenly intensified their rhythm, signaling the launch of an all-out general attack, and even more charged.

The rebel army that quickly entered the city accelerated its marching speed and slightly increased its fighting spirit, which made the iron-blooded anti-army that filled the air suddenly swell in a circle and pressed into the city.

The tide of the rebel army quickly launched a charge forward, there were cavalry, infantry, pikemen, giant shield soldiers, Pu sword soldiers, scattered cultivators, heroes of the rivers and lakes, and more than 200 great monks suspended in the air, coupled with the roar of beasts and birds, the buzzing of insects and bees, the situation was quite chaotic, like an erupting volcano.

"Humph!"

Wu Xin snorted coldly and quickly ordered: "Withdraw the troops, retreat to the foot of the wall, lean on the city to resist, and pay attention to the battle for the city wall!"

Now that Wu Xin has automatically taken over the battle situation in Dongcheng District, the order will be conveyed quickly.

The Sui army, which was originally desperately resisting the onslaught of the opposing army, including the various forces in the eastern capital of Yisuke, heroes and heroes from all walks of life, quickly retreated to the city wall like a tide.

Originally, because of Yang Xuan's prestige and cowardice, the anti-army, which had a considerable decline in fighting spirit and morale, has obviously improved a lot.

The camp was dense, and the restless rebel army was like a wave, and the momentum was like a rainbow charge, and in more than half an hour, the Sui army was chased and killed more than ten miles away, spanning most of the Huairen City.

Even if the Sui army deliberately withdrew, more than 30,000 corpses were left behind in Huairen City alone, leaving corpses and blood everywhere along the road.

The great monk suspended in mid-air was more like an immortal god overlooking all living beings, confronting each other, but there was no fierce battle.

Because both sides are in their own range of iron-blooded evil qi, whoever kills will suffer a loss.

In the battle between the great monks, a little gap is enough to affect the victory or defeat, determine life and death, and even more spare their lives, so they will naturally not fight to the death easily. This is one of the main reasons why the Great Monk is less involved in secular battles, especially on the battlefield!

"Beat the drums!"

Seeing that the Sui army had withdrawn to the foot of the wall, the rebels had already pursued and killed within the range of the city wall, and they had the posture of taking advantage of the situation to attack the city, Wu Xin quickly ordered.

"Knock, knock, knock......"

The war drums of the Sui military were slowly beaten, which was a preview of the preparation for battle.

In fact, both sides were beating drums, mixed together, and ordinary people couldn't tell which side was beating the drums.

However, if you are a little cultivator, you can hear the source of the drum, which is just a simple front or rear, and each commander, partial general, general, etc., can naturally distinguish it, and command its subordinate soldiers, it is their own business!

"Boom ......"

As soon as the rebels chased and killed within range of the city wall, thousands of arrows were fired on the city wall, as well as throwing stones, giant crossbows, etc., raging all over the sky, covering a large area.

Huairen City is only a high-grade mid-city level urban area, the city height is only twenty or thirty zhang, and the attack on the wall is naturally much more powerful than the Tiandu-level urban area more than three hundred zhang high.

The momentum of the anti-army, the army rushing in front, was suddenly swept across a large area, and the offensive was greatly suppressed.

One blow of strength, then decline, three and exhaustion.

Several successive waves of charges were unsuccessful, and the momentum of the anti-army was greatly reduced.

"Charge!"

Seeing that the momentum of the enemy army had been greatly reduced, Wu Xin quickly shouted an order.

Update, sorry, although I took a leave of absence before, it was still a little late. (To be continued.) )
