Chapter 37: Your Head Is First Upon You

Qi State, among the royal palaces of Ningxing City.

A sharp sword stabbed straight at Chu Yujia's eyebrows.

Chu Yujia's expression was calm, as if he didn't see the blade of the long sword close to his eyebrows.

Just when the female swordsman of the palace thought that she was about to stab the other party to death, she saw a flash of lightning flash, hitting the long sword in the hand of the female swordsman.

When!

The sound of iron colliding suddenly sounded.

It turned out to be a flying sword, and with Chu Yujia's thoughts, it flew and knocked the long sword in the female swordsman's hand away, and the blade of the long sword almost brushed against Chu Yujia's ear.

In the face of this sword, Chu Yujia could really be said to have not moved.

Chu Yujia glanced up at the female swordsman with a white veil, the corners of her mouth hooked slightly, and then her body shook and swept past the female swordsman's side, and she flashed in front of Yan Kai, the lord of Qi and the king of Qi.

The distance between the two people is so close that they almost stick together.

In the entire Qi country, and even the entire Mingwu Empire, how many people can see with their own eyes the people of the first-grade martial saint realm make a move?

In the main hall of the palace, Chu Yujia's operation had already stunned all the ministers of Qi in the audience, especially when they saw that Chu Yujia just dodged and dodged the attack of the swordsman, and then appeared in front of Yan Kai, the king of Qi, the faces of these ministers invariably let out a burst of exclamation.

The sword in Chu Yujia's hand was raised, but it didn't fall for a long time.

To kill Yan Kai, the king of Qi, it is very simple, just poke forward with the sword in your hand.

But what happens after killing him?

The more than 200,000 troops of Qi have been pressed against the border, and if they learn that the monarch was killed by themselves, they are afraid that not only will they not retreat, but they will be more determined to fight to the death with their own side to avenge the monarch.

The long sword that Chu Yujia raised slowly lowered again, and pressed the blade against the neck of King Qi Yan Kai.

Qi King Yan Kai thought that he was dead, but it could be seen that Chu Yujia suddenly stopped, he was very surprised, and looked at Chu Yujia blankly.

"My name is Chu Yujia, one of the guards of Huling. ”

Qi King Yan Kai did not answer, and looked at Chu Yujia silently.

Chu Yujia raised his head proudly, looked down at Qi King Yan Kai, and continued: "Killing you is as easy as digging for something, if you are smart enough, let your army withdraw immediately, if you insist on going your own way, then you are joking with your own life." ”

"Even if you can break through the city of my Ye country, or even destroy my Ye country, I can let you sleep without getting up. ”

"If you don't believe it, you can also try, you can also let your Qi country's masters chase and kill me, but remember, you have to shoot a few useful ones, otherwise I won't be too lazy to kill them one by one. ”

As he spoke, Chu Yujia let go of his hand, straightened his body, and casually threw the sword in his hand into the sky, and the long sword flew vertically upwards as if it had life, turned around in mid-air, and flew back into the sword array composed of hundreds of long swords.

Chu Yujia took a step back and said in a cold voice: "Let your head stay on your body today, if I see that the soldiers of the Qi State have not withdrawn, I will come back to retrieve it." ”

After speaking, Chu Yujia turned around and walked directly outside the hall.

The sword had already been pressed against the neck of Qi King Yan Kai, but Chu Yujia actually temporarily withdrew his hand, which was much to the surprise of everyone present, including Qi King Yan Kai himself.

Chu Yujia came quickly, walked faster, his figure had disappeared outside the temple gate for a long time, and everyone in the hall came back to their senses, everything that happened just now seemed to be a nightmare, and everyone had a feeling of wandering around outside the ghost gate and returning to the world.

At this time, Qi Wang Yan's straight waist bent down, gasping for breath, and at the same time wiping the sweat oozing from his forehead.

At the moment of life and death, it would be absolutely deceitful to say that he was not afraid, but the dignity of the lord of the country supported him not to show timidity and weakness in front of the enemy.

Now that Chu Yujia is gone, he doesn't have to pretend anymore.

Qi Wang Yan Kai felt that his body was cold and cold, and when he touched it with his hand, the clothes on his body were soaked with cold sweat.

"Alas......"

Qi King Yan Kai sighed secretly, he had only heard from the recital in front of him before, how brave and terrifying Chu Yujia was, he could see it today, and it was indeed so.

The appearance of hundreds of swords, where is this still a person, this is clearly a god descending to earth?

Although Chu Yujia had already left, as long as he thought of his blood-red eyes full of bloodshot and turned blood, as well as his cold temperament, he couldn't help but feel a little afraid.

Facing an enemy like Chu Yujia was simply a nightmare.

A minister came out of the crowd tremblingly and asked in a low voice, "Listen to the voice, my lord...... Enemy...... The enemy seems to have withdrawn......"

Withdrawn?

Qi Wang Yan smiled bitterly.

Now that they have withdrawn, who can guarantee that there will be no next sneak attack on the other side?

At this time, Yan Kai, the king of Qi, was sitting in the palace, feeling a chill behind his back, and a strong sense of uneasiness enveloped his whole body.

Will your 200,000-strong army withdraw or not?

If you don't withdraw, what if Chu Yujia attacks again?

Is it just to attack the country of Ye, so that you have to force yourself to move?

Qi King Yan Kai clenched his fists tightly, was silent for a long time, he sighed faintly, raised his head and said to the ministers below: "Call the herald!"

Chu Yujia led people to withdraw, but they adhered to the consistent tradition of the Northwest Army, and when they withdrew from Ningxing City, they also looted a large number of gold and silver treasures, some of which were snatched from the palace, and some were snatched from the people's homes.

They were 3,500 men when they came, and more than 1,000 men were killed and hundreds more wounded in the battles along the way.

Chu Yujia did not leave behind the casualties of Ye Jun, took the wounded and corpses, and embarked on a long road back to China.

Their side fought a great success, but the Huling Pass on the other side did not know the news, and now the 250,000 Qi army was still frantically attacking the Huling Pass.

Under the command of Dong Haoyu, the army of Qi has been divided into several batches in the past few days, attacking Huling Pass day and night.

In the frenzied attack of the Qi army in the past few days, the soldiers of Ye Guo were exhausted, and thousands of soldiers died on the city wall.

The corpses of the soldiers killed in the war were continuously transported down the city wall by the migrant workers in the city, and piled up on the streets of the city, and the corpses covered with white cloth rendered the sadness of the whole city.

Because of the bets of Chu Yujia and Ye Wang Zhao Yan, the border fortress of Huling Pass was as if it had been abandoned, with no support and no supplies.

Under the frantic attack of the 250,000 army, Huling Pass is like a lonely boat, and it may be slapped to the side by the monstrous waves at any time, or even flatten Huling Pass.

Ye Bian, the general who was guarding the dangerous city alone, looked at the Qi soldiers who were surging like a tide outside the city, and gritted his teeth.

I don't know how many times this is the first attack of the Qi army, and how many times they have repelled the opponent's offensive.

But that's how it is on the battlefield, either you die or I die, no one will sympathize with the enemy, and no one will think that the enemy will let him go.

It's a life-and-death game, and if there's anything he expects, it's that he hopes that the man's strategy will succeed.

This time, the Qi army once again listed the siege force of 30,000 men, and when the Qi soldiers were about to enter their own shooting, they heard the hoarse shout.

These were the commanders of thousands and the captains of all who stood on the wall.

In an army, it is the commander in command of the overall situation, but it is the middle-level generals such as the commander and centurion who command the soldiers to fight side by side with the soldiers.

The fighting of the past month has already torn the throats and voices of these commanders and captains.

"Brothers, prepare, the enemy is coming, put on the bow and arrows, and wait for the enemy to get close!"

After a month's fighting, the new soldiers in the Ye army who had just joined the army and went to the battlefield have all become battle-hardened veterans, and after hearing the orders of the commander and the centurion, they all held their breath one by one, put their bows on their arrows, and waited eagerly.

When the Qi army entered the shooting, they did not shoot arrows in a very hasty manner as before, firstly, because they had not had many arrows and could not withstand the consumption like before, and secondly, because they had mastered some skills, and sometimes only when the enemy was close, the neat arrow array could constitute the greatest damage to the enemy.

Because of Dong Haoyu's siege strategy like a wheel war, every Qi soldier can get enough rest, so although they are also very tired, they are still much stronger than the Ye soldiers who defend the city.

The advance speed of the Qi army's array was very fast, looking down from above, the Qi soldiers wearing green helmets and green armor, like a green tide, were less than a hundred steps away from the Huling Pass city wall in an instant.

At this time, the commanders and centurions on the head of the city were heard again uttering a hoarse cry in unison: "Shoot the arrows!"

Nearly 20,000 defenders and nearly 10,000 archers fired arrows in unison at this moment.

Airplanes!

The arrows that rose into the air covered the sky and the sun, and when the dense rain of arrows shot to the highest point, they turned sharply.

The Qi army array, which was shot in the head, screamed in an instant, and pieces of Qi sergeants fell to the ground with arrows.

No one to support their comrades, let alone the wounded, those Qi soldiers were like emotionless war machines, striding forward rapidly, the more people who fell, the faster they advanced.

The siege battles in the past few days have not only allowed the new soldiers of the Ye army to be fully trained, but also allowed the Qi army to be trained.

They already know how to fight siege warfare, and they know how to fight siege warfare so that they don't get hurt and don't let themselves die.

Defending your home and country doesn't have to be dead.

Although they are soldiers, they are also people.

It's human nature that you don't want to die.

The more people who fall, the more it will stimulate the nerves of the Qi soldiers, making them impact faster and the momentum more terrifying.

Even before many of the injured could get up from the ground, they were knocked over to the ground again by the Qi soldiers who rushed up from behind, and then trampled into flesh by their own brothers.

War is so cruel, no matter what country it is, no matter what kind of ideological education.

The sharpness of the Qi army's attack is no longer something that can be stopped by the arrows of the Ye army.

It didn't take long for the Qi army to rush to a distance of fifty paces close to the city wall.

But at this moment, a sneer suddenly appeared on the face of a young man standing beside Ye Bian.
