Chapter 25: Military Might
The city gate suddenly changed from bustle to silence, and the people fled one after another, and the beggar disciples had a premonition that something was not good, and immediately sent a signal. The disciples who were lying in ambush outside the city, under the leadership of the leading Elder Xu Bufan, immediately made a decision to seize the city gate.
Elder Xu's white beard trembled, he watched the dazzling fireworks explode into the sky, his heart tightened, and he said to Wu Changfeng, "Elder Wu, quickly use the beggar disciples in the city to seize the city gate and seize the city gate with the help master." ”
Wu Changfeng didn't dare to slack off, he clenched the stick in his hand and raised it above his head, "Come with me, everyone." He rushed out and rushed towards the city, and the beggar disciples behind him attacked wildly, rushing straight to the city gate. Xu Bufan was not slow, the moment Elder Wu left, he took another group of disciples and rushed straight up at the same time.
Helian Tieshu jumped on his horse, he slashed a beggar disciple to death with his sword, and ordered the soldiers at the gate of the city, "Close the gate while the archers prepare." When the soldiers heard this, they took action, but the beggar disciples in the city would not let them get their wish, and some people had already killed them, stabbing the soldiers to death with a sword, and the two sides exchanged short soldiers.
Helian Tieshu's brows furrowed, he was furious in his chest, he swung his knife to kill again, a touch of blood splashed on his face, and he stroked it even more terrifying. The captain behind him stepped forward and whispered, "General, it seems that the other party has been prepared for a long time, otherwise he would not have been able to seize the control of the city gate so easily." ”
"Nonsense, can't General Ben see it?" Helian Tieshu's face was gloomy and terrifying, and he stared at the captain with fierce eyes, "Order the archers to release their arrows." ”
The lieutenant was stunned and said hurriedly, "But general, are there still our people there?" Helian Tieshu was furious, "Shoot arrows and attack indiscriminately." "But ......" "Bastard, are you questioning my military orders? Helian Tieshu whipped his whip, and a blood mark struck the lieutenant's face. It hurts hotly.
"Shoot the arrows. The captain's heart was crossed, and his archers were dispatched in an instant, rows of arrows were shot, and the sky was full of sharp arrows. Helian Tieshu was cold-blooded and ruthless, and he didn't care about the life or death of the army, "The whole army is pressed and take the city gate for me." ”
In an instant, sharp arrows crossed the air, dense like locusts crossing the border, and the two sides that were fighting obviously did not expect it. The other party was so cruel that he even killed his own people. The two men and horses suffered heavy losses immediately, and the arrow feathers were inserted into their bodies, and they fell to the ground and convulsed, and then died.
The army of the Western Xia Kingdom is naturally the elite of the elite, and they are not afraid of death at all, they kill in the rain of arrows and harvest lives at will. Helian Tieshu even led the men and horses to kill, and he killed the last beggar gang disciple with one sword. "Close the door." ”
The gates slowly closed, and several sergeants pushed and smiled. At this time, Xu Bufan was in a hurry. He raised his light skills, a sword light flashed, and the bright sword qi was displayed, and the soldiers in front died on the spot.
Helian Tieshu was also surprised. But he quickly calmed down, "The shield guards stepped forward to protect them and continued to close the door. His eyes gestured to the soldiers beside him. "Bring me my bow and arrows. The pro-soldier quickly handed over the weapon, only to see him open his bow and arrows, aiming at Xu Bufan, and the murderous intention was revealed.
Xu Bufan seemed to feel something, he stared at the arrow that was shot, the long sword was swung out, the internal force ran to the extreme, a sword qi was cut out, and the bow and arrow were broken. As the eldest elder of the beggar gang, his internal strength cultivation is not bad, and he naturally can't hurt him with a sword, after all, although Helian Tieshu has brute strength, he is not a martial artist after all, and he will not have internal strength.
Wu Changfeng took the opportunity to kill, the long stick was able to withstand the closed gate, he didn't think about it, the internal force turned to the arm and wrist, the strength was secretly vomited, and the dark energy poured up to the city gate, the gate was opened, and the soldiers behind him were shocked by the internal force and retreated.
Helian Tieshu's expression was ugly, and he ordered, "Press it, press it on me." Be sure to close the gates for me. Countless soldiers pounced, and they slammed into the gate against their predecessors, and their strength exploded.
Wu Changfeng put away the long stick, his internal force gushed out, he slapped his palms on the door, he had already done his best, and the beggar disciples behind him arrived, they all exerted their strength, and the door was knocked open in an instant.
"Kill. Elder Xu Bufan rushed over, he was the first to rush in, and the long sword in his hand swept through the body, and more disciples poured in. Helian Tieshu immediately made a decision, and with a wave of his big hand, the shield soldiers slowly retreated, and the archer troops pressed again.
"The beggar disciples in front of me listen, I am Helian Tieshu, the general of Zhengdong, you entered my Western Xia Kingdom to make a lot of killing, there is no king's law, do you want to provoke a war between Western Xia and the Great Song Dynasty?" His heavy words spread in all directions, and he was silent for a while.
The disciples of the beggar gang also stopped attacking, obviously unable to bear the consequences. Xu Bufan's eyes were solemn, and he stepped forward and said, "Don't listen to his nonsense, if he starts a war, what else does the Western Xia Emperor do." Helian Tieshu's eyes narrowed, "Then there's nothing more to say, give me the arrows." ”
The arrows were as dense as rain, and the strength of breaking through the air whirred. Wu Changfeng stood in front of him to protect one side, and the long stick kept sweeping down sharp arrows, and his internal force shook, creating a vacuum. And Xu Bufan was even more harmful, the long sword in his hand trembled, the internal qi swept through the swordsmanship, and the strength was swung out, and the archers in the front row were in chaos, and they were swept back a few steps by the sword qi.
The beggar gang disciples took advantage of this opportunity to rush forward, and the two sides fought together, swords intersected, and blood flowed all over the ground. Helian Tieshu sat steadily in the middle army, and countless soldiers protected him, and he did not panic, but calmly commanded, "The whole army has changed formations, and a small team of ten people will attack in a staggered manner." ”
The Western Xia army changed its formation, and not only did they immediately stabilize the ranks, but their combat strength increased greatly, and the beggar gang disciples killed were a big mess in the ranks. Xu Bufan saw that the disciples of the Beggar Gang were in a hurry, Wu Changfeng caught up and said, "Elder Xu, the martial arts of this Western Xia army are not high, but the military array has been harmful, and there are many of them, so it is very unfavorable for us to continue like this." ”
Elder Xu nodded, "That's right, capture the thief and capture the king first, you give me the array, and I'll kill him." Looking at Helian Tieshu on horseback, Xu Bufan was full of murder. The figure is high out of thin air, and the long sword stabs the opponent directly.
Helian Tieshu looked at Xu Bufan coming, his face showed disdain, "Reckless man, don't worry." The horsewhip in his hand pointed at Elder Xu, who was coming, and several guards behind him raised their bows and shot, and the powerful force drove the long arrows to fly out, which was many times stronger than ordinary bows and arrows. It was a four-stone bow.
Xu Bufan was also careless, although he had internal force to protect his body, but even the four-stone bow that he had to be careful in his heyday did not pay attention to it, so he was shot by a sharp arrow, and the arrow was shot directly through the shoulder, and blood splashed. His man fell in mid-air, and several Western Xia soldiers swung their swords and slashed out, taking advantage of his injuries and weakness to attack him, and the cold blade was full of cold light.
At this time, a sword qi came, Elder Song and Elder Xi arrived, and they both rushed to the scene, forcing the retreating soldiers to help Xu Bufan up, "Elder Xu, you are fine." Xu Bufan looked at the hole in his shoulder, his face was extremely pale, "Elder Song, Elder Xi, I was careless just now, it turned out to be the power of the four-stone bow, fortunately you saved me, otherwise it would be really dangerous." ”
Bai Shijing and Chen Guyan came with Ma Dayuan, "Don't talk about it, it's better to withdraw first." "The disciples of the beggar gang were helped by the brothers who rushed back, and their morale was greatly increased, and the killing was even more decisive.
Helian Tieshu looked at the newly killed beggar gang disciple, his face finally changed, it seemed that Yipintang was even worse than his own appearance, and he only lasted for such a short time, and he couldn't even support himself to kill and rescue. Looking at another group of beggar disciples who suddenly appeared and disrupted his army, he quickly stabilized his mind and ordered the whole army to retreat.
Wu Changfeng killed the soldiers who blocked the road with a stick, and he also came to everyone's side, "What about the helper, why is it only you?" Ma Dayuan regained a little vitality, and he opened his mouth to answer.
"Qiao Feng is here. Qiao Feng's figure quickly swept through the air, and he landed here in a few ups and downs, "Everyone is okay." ”
Bai Shijing looked at Qiao Feng's unstable breathing, and he was also shocked in his heart, not because he was worried about him, but because he didn't understand that there was still someone in Yipintang who could hurt him at this moment, "Helper, you are actually injured." Everyone was also shocked, and they all cared, "Helper, your injury ......."
Qiao Feng stopped their questioning with a big hand, "It doesn't matter if I'm injured, I will withdraw first, otherwise it will be too late." Bai Shijing didn't ask much, all of them knew that there was such a big incident in the Western Xia Kingdom, how could there be nothing at all.
Helian Tieshu integrated his army, and he said calmly, "Shoot the arrows." The archer released the arrows again, the arrow rain was as follows, Qiao Feng, who was talking, looked frozen, he took a step forward, the dragon catcher cast, the whole body internal force was transported, and the arrow was dragged, and then the internal force was shocked, and the arrow rain shot backwards.
The soldiers in front of Helian Tieshu were pierced by sharp arrows, and he himself was not lightly frightened, but fortunately, he always sat on horseback, and did not show any fear on the surface.
Qiao Feng's internal strength was exerted, but it aggravated his own injuries, covered his chest, and forcibly pressed the blood in his mouth, "Withdraw." Xu Bufan also saw that something was wrong, and without saying a word, he protected Qiao Feng and retreated. Bai Shijing and the others followed, and they slowly retreated towards the city gate.
