Chapter 12

10days ago Xuanhuan Novels 4
The first shimmer of morning light came from the horizon, illuminating the ground where spring was gradually coming out but still deserted

Pingnan General Wang Shou stood on the city tower, leaning on a heavy gun forged by fine iron in his hand. He weighed more than 100 kilograms. If he hadn't been a heavenly warrior, he would have been unable to wield such weapons.

The soldiers and horses on the city walls are imperial guards, iron armored steel knives or mailed crossbows. Only five thousand people are the most reliable reliance on this imperial city.

The city gate has been cleared long ago. The two thousand heavy armored heavy cavalry are the elite among the elites of Wang Shouping's southern army. After they have arranged the formation, they are ready to go in the city.

There are more than 10,000 infantry under the city wall, all of which are the Pingnan Army's battle-making troops. Although the armor and weapons are a little worse, the solemn and murderous aura on their faces is not weak at all.

About five miles outside the city, there were about 100,000 soldiers standing in line, with their armor and blood on their weapons. I don’t know how many days they have fought.

When my son is unkind today, he is bewitched by the cult, and he is sent south to the death. The people are in trouble and the officials are persuaded but cannot. Now we follow the heavens and ask Your Majesty to abdicate!

Dong, Dong, Dong!

More than a thousand drummers beat together, and countless soldiers rushed towards the city wall like locusts. The depressing atmosphere of war made people breathless

Wow! Open the city gate!

Wang Shou shouted

The iron chain pulled up the iron gate of ten thousand pounds. The city gate made of solid wood slowly opened, revealing two thousand heavy riders behind the door. The black iron armor covered the body of the knight and also covered the head of the war horse, only a pair of eyes were exposed.

Dong!

The hundred-pound gun was inserted into the loess land. Wang Shou, wearing heavy armor, jumped down from the city tower ten feet high and landed heavily on the ground.

Men! Come with me to kill! He pulled out the heavy gun that penetrated deep into the land, turned over and got on the high-headed horse that was running towards him. Wang Shou shouted with great enthusiasm

Kill! Two thousand people roared together, and their momentum shook the sky and the earth

The sound of drums outside the city shook the sky. The originally gorgeous and majestic Golden Palace had already seemed a little dilapidated. There were only four people sitting on the ground in the hall, three paths and one monk, which was a little funny.

Are you better? The Taoist with fairy-like Taoist sucked back his palms and said to the Taoist squat in white sitting cross-legged in front of him

It's no big deal. The Taoist in White is the head of Shushan Taiwu, and said ashamedly: The real person is worthy of the number one in the world.

I don't know what the disciples are now,

Since ancient times, evil has not overcome justice, so there is no need to worry about the Xiaoxiang Temple.

The four of them were trapped here for more than half a month, and the water had not been dripped in and the rice had not been dipped. Although they had already fasted, they still looked a little haggard.

After walking out of the hall, eight people were waiting outside. Without saying a word, a few of them fought into a group.

Tianyi Zhenren fought against three, not at all weak, Taiwu took a little advantage, and the abbot took a little advantage, Xiaoxiangzi was comparable to the elder of the Demon Sect, and the field was in a strange balance, and the same was true in the city.

Even if we can't get a result, we might as well sit there like that. Lu Wentao looked at Ma Wei in the yard and said, "The six people standing behind him were slightly injured, and the same was true for the cult behind Ma Wei."

Ma Wei looked at Lu Wentao with a calm smile on his face, and was silent for a while, then said: Good Ah,

The more they fought, the more they became more and more frightened. Lu Wentao's methods emerged one after another. They almost couldn't suppress him if they didn't fight. It would be better if they didn't fight. If they were careless and defeated, things would be a big deal.

Seven mahogany chairs were moved out of the room, and the two men looked at each other strangely

The battlefield outside the city has become the key point of breaking the balance. If the prince succeeds in seizing the throne and is discovered by the eight decent sects, it will be inevitable. At that time, these decent people will be left behind.

Apart from the 50,000 troops of the Pingnan Army, there were only 5,000 imperial guards left in the city, and the prince's army was dispatched from various places, and it was continuously flowing. After more than ten days of war, there were only more than 10,000 troops of the Pingnan Army. If the trump card was not played, it would not last for two days.

Maybe it's not impossible to keep people today, but you're not wrong just in case

But why is Lu Wentao so calm?

Looking at Lu Wentao's smile, Ma Wei was still a little confused, after all, the situation was already very good for them.

Lu Wentao must have found his trump card like this. Now it is a question of how to take action. The situation outside the city is the key among all the keys.

The horse's hooves trampled on, and the solid earth made a dull cry. The black armor was covered with a cold light. The infantry with uneven armor seemed so fragile.

charge!

So!

The spear was clamped under the armpit, and the tip of the spear fell slightly

Tap, tap, tap!

The sound of horse hooves and the cavalry gradually growing in their eyes made the opposite infantry forget to continue taking steps, and he was stunned in the spotlight.

Scream! Bang!

The spear pierced through the head, and the galloping horse knocked the man away, and the two thousand heavy cavalry rushed into the crowd like a torrent of steel.

The inferior infantry weapons cannot break through the uniformly forged iron armor. They can only jingle when they are cut on it. On the contrary, with the bonus of the impact of the war horse, the tip of the gun easily tear their bodies open, and the gun bar can easily kill their lives.

Slowly, corpses slowed down the cavalry's speed. Infantrymen who seized the opportunity often made a sudden move, stabbing the weapon from the part where the war horse was not attached to the armor, dragging the knight off the horse.

Men! Unshelf!

So!

The spear was held behind the back, and the sharp heavy sword was pulled out from the side of the war horse.

Come out with me!

kill!

After charging in from the front, Wang Shou led his cavalry to break out to the side.

Once the advantage brought by speed is lost, the heavy cavalry is not as flexible as the infantry. Wang Shou also knew this clearly, so he forced himself to break through with his outstanding martial arts skills.

Slowly shook off the pursuit infantry, stopped the horse, and lost about a hundred brothers between them.

Do you still have any spare energy?

have!

Kill with me again!

kill!

Soon they re-arranged the formation and rushed towards the army again, but at this time they were facing a row of shield soldiers

Gradually approaching, Wang Shou could see the trembling hands of the shield holder and the horror on his face.

A sneer raised at the corner of his mouth and a spear thrust

Bang!

The long spear made of stainless steel instantly pierced the iron-wood shield, and then the chest of the shield-holder behind it.

drink!

With a shout, the spear shook, the body above flew out and landed straight into the crowd several feet away

This attack directly shattered the fragile morale and rushed into a state of no one.

Damn it! I'll send the order and rush straight to the city wall, don't worry about them! The prince behind saw this scene and cursed and ordered.

These men and horses were recruited from all over the country, and they were naturally incomparable to the Pingnan Army's battle army, but the damage was still a bit painful

After repeated rushing, the city wall rushed towards the city wall like a desperate attempt. It soon approached the city wall. If it did not return to the city, it would not be able to go back.

charge!

A bloody torrent of steel hit again, killing the infantry formation through and heading towards the city gate.

The prince looked at Wang Shou's back and nodded slightly toward him.

Xiū!

A long steel arrow flew out from the hand of the man beside the prince, pointing directly to Wang Shou who was almost about to enter the city gate.

It seems that you can feel the crisis, Wang Shou's body side

Bang!

The long arrow pierced through Wang Shou's left shoulder and took him down directly from the war horse.

General! The guards on both sides exclaimed and took Wang Shou on their horses and ran towards the city

What a pity, the prince sighed softly and the man next to him was still trembling with his hands pulling the strings, obviously he had done his best.

Two thousand heavy cavalry lost nearly half, killing more than ten enemies, which can be said to be one against ten, but in the subsequent battle between the city walls, they could not play such a big role.

Countless arrow branches were densely pouring away from the city walls, taking away batches of enemies, but they still couldn't stop the approaching crowds of people.

bass!

Steel knife is unsheathed, iron armor, steel helmet, small shield, steel knife, every guard is like a mountain, guarding this city wall, and no enemy troops coming up are in a single enemy

The sun is in the sky, and the fourth 10,000 team is already siegeing the city. The brave guards' steel swords are rolled up, and they cannot directly cut through the fragile leather armor in front of them. The iron sword in the enemy's hand has been slashed.

Scream!

A short crossbow arrow penetrated into the enemy's throat and took his life in an instant. Turning around, it was his captain, wearing a mail to criticize himself, with a long sword and a strong crossbow. Only the strong men in the guards can have such configuration, suitable for both distance and distance, light and flexible

Men! Come out with me!

More than twenty palace envoys cleared the city gates, and Wang Shou led the remaining cavalry to kill again.

The city gate is not closed, and the city gate is not spacious. It is a good place for these worshipers who are good at fighting alone.

Wang Shou’s left arm was not allowed to move, but it was just some shrimp soldiers and crab generals, and it was enough to use his right arm alone!

After leaving the city, Wang Shou did not go back immediately, but instead rushed towards the prince's main formation.

More than a thousand people rushed towards the main formation with 60,000 or 70,000 people

There are two teams of ten thousand people on both sides, and the prince is at the forefront of the elite direct troops. In this way, there are only 20,000 people in front of him!

There were some casualties, but the first 10,000 team had already exceeded and continued to charge!

This blood-colored torrent rushed into the locust-like crowd like a desperate situation

It's close, just two hundred steps away from the prince

drink!

With a loud shout, the spear weighing more than 100 kilograms broke through the air

Protect the prince!

Bang!

Several personal guards guarded the prince, but the target of the spear was not here

The wooden pole holding the handsome flag behind him broke through, and the spear that landed on the ground hit several people, and he couldn't get up for a long time.

Haha! Go back to the city!

Wang Shou's sword was raised and led the team to kill the city wall.

Buzz!

It was like eyes on the back of the head, and the sword was sheathed, and he held the steel arrow in his back hand, threw it on the ground, and left with a smile

Mingjin, the prince's face was gloomy and calm. He said in a deep voice, turned his head and left.

Bang!

As soon as he entered the city gate, Wang Shou fell off his horse and fell into a coma.

What's wrong with our general?

Wang Shou's personal soldiers turned to look at a scholar and asked

It's okay. Today, you have to pay some price to be so brave. It will take a few days to lose your strength.

The scholar's smile was a bit evil, and his words were full of ridicule. He looked like he was not a righteous person.

There are only more than 500 heavy cavalry left, there are only more than 5,000 people left in Pingnan Army, and nearly half of the imperial guards are also injured, with only more than 3,000 people left. If Wang Shou had not been brave today, he would have been afraid that he would not have been delayed tomorrow.

But even so, what should I do tomorrow?

In the Honglu Temple Inn, a demon ran in, whispered a few words in Ma Wei's ear, and then left.

How about it? Is it right to sit today?

Humph, let’s see how many days you can be at ease, leave!

Lu Wentao closed the door and said seriously: Have a good rest, life and death will be tomorrow

********************

The storm was about to come and the wind filled the building. The next day dawn came a little later. The cold wind brought up waves of sand and soil, and the city was inexplicably depressed.

This place is too small, why don’t we find a spacious place to discuss?

Lu Wentao's words aroused Ma Wei's doubts. In the past few days, they have suffered a lot of losses from formations in this Honglu Temple Inn. Now Lu Wentao has given up this advantage himself.

where?

Palace!

Ma Wei squinted at Lu Wentao, as if he wanted to see through what he was thinking.

Yesterday, Wang Shou broke the flag of the commander-in-chief, which caused a sharp drop in morale of the Crown Army. He was afraid of another setback, so he chose to withdraw his troops first. But today Wang Shou was unable to fight again and they knew that breaking the city was a foregone conclusion.

They no longer need to hold back today. The Eastern Wei world has already obtained it. If one person is killed, it is only one person.

In this way, if you gather them together, you can catch them all in one place. It should be a benefit but no harm.

OK, after thinking about it, Ma Wei still responded

please,

Lu Wentao and his seven-member party walked towards the palace surrounded by countless cult disciples.

Cheng'er!? Master,

In front of the spacious hall, several people and four seniors met together. The one who was most excited was Xiaoxiangzi.

The sound of drums outside the distant city sounded, and everyone in the palace stood up, ready to go

The countless layouts of both sides are for today's battle. It can be said that planning is up to people and success is in heaven. Now it is time for chess players outside the board to end.

Thousands of conspiracies and plots, openly repairing the plank road and crossing Chencang secretly, and in the end there will be a hand-to-hand battle

If you lose, try your best to retreat. You are the hope of our righteous path. Tianyi Zhenren stood up and said in a deep voice.

Indeed, Xuan Shu, Yun Chen, Huijue, Cheng Yun and Lu Wentao are all the heirs of the sect leader. If the star of righteousness is lost here, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Senior, do our best, we may not lose.

Haha, the old Taoist has spent more than 200 years of spring and autumn, and this life is worth it! Tianyi Zhenren took a big step forward, and three of the cults came up to us, one through the tribulation and two out of the body

The way of sword, move forward without moving forward. Taiwu's long sword in hand has the power to hold the whole world

Although Amitabha Buddha has nothing to say with the three Taoists, subduing demons and demons is also the hope of the Buddha.

Xiaoxiang mist and rain, Cheng'er must watch it!

The four of them faced the eight cult masters just like a few days ago.

The chief disciple of Tianshan Sect, who will teach Xuanshu? Although surrounded, Xuanshu is still neither humble nor arrogant, neither sad nor happy, which is quite a trend of a famous sect

Badao Gate, Ma Nan, Badao Gate, Ma Bei,

It turns out that it is you two traitors, come on! The unyielding righteousness suppressed the two brothers for a moment

Chief Shushan, Yunchen Yin and Yang Sect, on the White Clouds!

Yun Chen was speechless, his sword was unsheathed, and he actually had a little bit of the style of a master.

Buddhism, Huijue Ghost Sect, Ghost Hand, Ghost Sect, Ghost Shadow

Amitabha!

Wuzhuang Temple, Cheng Yun Demon Sect, Tiger Power, Demon Sect, Night Wolf,

The remaining Yin Shan and Murong Qing met with the two people from the Demon Sect respectively. Fortunately, the young master of the Demon Sect Luo Ming did not arrive this time, and he was less dangerous.

Come on, the long sword has been bought, and in the end, Lu Wentao and Ma Wei and Mabiao fought together

********************

Above Tianshan Mountain, in front of Tianshan School

The Great Elder is there, under the red veil, a gentle and tender voice comes

Your Mightiness?

The Great Elder of the Goddess Sect, Liu Qian

Here, let me report

If something urgent is happening, let's go together

This is

Before too long, dozens of figures flew up from the Tianshan Sect and headed east.

Shushan, Buddhism, and Wuzhuang Temple are all like this

In the Tianshan Sect, the mountain gate is closed, and the outer disciples are not allowed to walk around at will in their residences. The inner disciples gather in the main hall to practice together.

But no one noticed that there was a man in black standing in the alliance warehouse, holding a head in his hand, smiling evilly

********************

The battles over the past few days did not consume Lu Wentao, but instead made him more courageous as he fought. He used spiritual energy with high intensity, and also slowly flowed through the spiritual energy that had been trapped by swallowing the Nine-Turn Golden Pill.

The Jade long sword is in harmony with his heart, and the hot Samadhi True Fire is attached to it, corresponding to the Xiaoyao Fan, which has a stronger force after the realm is improved, and attacks and defends, causing the two brothers Ma Wei to retreat step by step.

The rest of the people were not as lucky. Xuan Shu finally couldn't hold on with the attacks of Ma Nan and Ma Bei. He broke his mouth and his sword broke out. Fortunately, he threw out a five-thunder spell talisman when he retreated, injured Ma Bei and retreated to the hall.

Heavenly Eyes Power! A golden eye suddenly appeared on Huijue's forehead. The golden light shone through, and it directly burned the ghost shadow into blue smoke. He also consumed too much and was not aware that the ghost hand had scratched his arm.

Eight small flags fell on the ground, forming the eight-door golden lock formation to trap Hu Wei, and used the master's master's sword into two and turned into Xiaoxiang sword and Yanyu sword, and attacked Yelang.

The wolf is already fierce, so he lets the sword slash over the shoulder blade and almost cut off the forelimbs, and then pierces his lower abdomen. Áw! With a roar, the wolf teeth bit Cheng Yun's arm

In a panic, Cheng Yun let go of the sword in his hand and hurriedly avoided it. The disaster did not go alone. The tiger's power just came out of the formation, and the fierce tiger claws slapped him.

Baby! His clothes were broken, and the tiger's power was stunned, so he was caught empty?

A few feet away, Cheng Yun's figure appeared, and his scattered hair looked a little embarrassed

Roar Ah! Hu Wei roared and rushed over again

boom!

A thunder flashed and instantly hit Hu Wei's head. At the same time, there was a whisk in Cheng Yun's hand sweeping over, and forty-nine small needles as thin as hair drilled into his body.

However, the tiger's claws did not stop, leaving long scars in front of him.

puff!

Xuan Shu, who was standing beside him, had to hurt the root of the body, and he spurted out with blood, fainted directly, Cheng Yun could not heal much, and he was unable to do anything in his body.

A gust of sword wind blew from behind, Lu Wentao stopped the attack and pushed it away casually. Yu Guang looked at Cheng Yunxuanshu seriously injured, tiger power was killed, Ye Lang Ma Bei was seriously injured, and Ma Nan was free to give it a hand

The ghost energy entered the body, and the Buddha energy in the body became less and less smooth. The posture of the golden arhat was no longer so strong. In addition, it was too much to consume before, so Huijue soon couldn't hold on and retreated.

The ghost hand did not pursue it, but instead Lu Wentao helped him.

Ten thousand swords return! Yun Chen, who had a long advantage but could not take over the white clouds, became a little impatient and tried his best to do it. He used his unique skills that could only be practiced in the out-of-body stage in Shushan.

Countless sword lights shot straight towards the white clouds, and they were really bombarded directly on the white clouds and lost their combat power.

Yun Chen's face was also a little pale, but fortunately he could still move

Yin Shan was in a coma, Murong Qing also exhausted his strength, and the two of the Demon Sect died and were injured.

The recovery ability of the demon clan is obviously stronger than that of humans. The seriously injured Ye Lang has recovered. In addition, Ma Bei who has recovered slightly, and the people from the Demon Sect

Knowing that he was defeated, Yun Chen and Huijue stood in front without hesitation

The battle on the other side was not so stalemate. The battle for many days had long made them extremely familiar with each other. If they were just protecting themselves, the cult members would have no choice but to do anything for a while.

Dodge one attack, long sword blocks the second attack, Xiaoyao fan pushes away the knife that is slashed from the slant, and then retreats to avoid the attacking ghost hand

With one against four, Lu Wentao's every step and every blocking is just right before he can survive in this crisis

Fight! Lu Wentao did not retreat but advanced. The spiritual energy on Xiaoyao fan was a little dispersed, but he still blocked all the offensives for him.

Close-fitting punch, Lu Wentao's body was close to Ma Biao. The martial arts that he had been unable to practice hard finally had a place to perform. Elbow punch, inch fist, push the palm, and a set of combined punches made Ma Biao a little confused, as if he was back when he was young and fighting on the street.

Bang! Xiaoyao Fan landed on the ground

Bang! Lu Wentao beat Ma Biao back several steps. With a lifting of his hand, the sword light and claw shadow behind him had already hit him. This was the only chance.

Fighting, those who are poor are afraid of being arrogant, those who are arrogant are afraid of being blind, those who are stunned are afraid of being desperate

What I heard on the street suddenly appeared in Ma Biao's mind, and there was a fierce light in his eyes, and he did not avoid or block it. The big sword slashed towards Lu Wentao.

Bang!

In the end, Lu Wentao was still afraid of his life, so he closed his sword to block it and was knocked away, but the four people had already gathered in one place.

Under the cold wind, I can't tell the moment now. I guess it should have passed noon, but I still haven't caught up.

On the other hand, everyone fell to the ground, with no blood on their faces. It was time to run out of ammunition and food. However, the cult people who wanted to pick up the bargain were solved by them, but their condition was even worse.

But Ye Lang struggled to get up

Senior brother, let me do it first. At some point, Yin Shan had woken up. Looking at Ye Lang approaching step by step, a golden needle appeared in his hand.

Yun Chen didn't say anything, closed his eyes in pain

I'll do it!

Cheng Yun stopped Yin Shan and stood up tremblingly. His broken clothes had already been thrown aside, revealing his strong body. Although he was a little disrespectful to the Heavenly Lord, I think the Heavenly Lord would understand.

Xiaoxiang and Yanyu merged into one, flew back to Cheng Yun's hand, and had no energy to cast the spell again, so he met with the sword.

The attack flashed and the blood from the wolf was splashed all over his body. Cheng Yun's eyes flashed with blood, unable to recover!

Come! Lu Wentao opened his arms, and fire spread across his body, and he shouted with a fiery look on his eyes

Without any effort, the sword in Lu Wentao's hand and their swords collided again and again.

Hahaha! Come again, come again! It's like a madman, attaching spiritual power to the surface of his body like him is a very wasteful and wasteful act. I'm afraid no one in the world can do this except him.

The four of them scattered and no longer fought head-on with Lu Wentao. Before too long, Lu Wentao's aura gradually weakened.

clang!

Lu Wentao took a step back, Ma Wei took a step back two steps back

clang!

Lu Wentao, Ma Biao, one step

It's really too late, a bitter smile streaked across Lu Wentao's lips

Cheng Yun swung his sword and slashed it away. Ye Lang dodged sideways, and the sword actually stuck in the tree.

It was obviously too late to rush into the sword again. His arm stuck in the wolf's mouth and was hit by the throat. His other hand struggled to gather all the spiritual energy in his body.

Not enough, not enough Ah!

The wolf claws pulled his arm apart and put it in again

Xiū!

The sound of a long whip breaking through the air came. I didn't care about so much. Living was a good thing. Cheng Yun rolled and hid aside regardless of his image. He saw a girl holding a long whip. The other end of the whip wrapped around Ye Lang's neck, and it was obvious that she had no rest.

Husband! With a scream, Lu Wentao, who had been fighting and unyielding, was thrown to the ground. The one sitting on him was his long-lost wife Bai Yaoyao

Get up, get up! Your waist is broken

Bai Yaoyao stuck out her tongue lightly and hurriedly got up

Auntie, do you want help?

No need, the woman in the palace dress in front of her did not look back, and said with a little doting voice in her gentle voice: Let's accompany you little lover,

An extremely powerful aura was released from the woman in the palace dress, and the four people who consumed a lot were suppressed and couldn't breathe.

A period of mercy!

Sister Bai, where is my mother?

It's better if we don't go to make trouble outside. Looking at the girl supporting Cheng Yun, Bai Yaoyao blinked and said, "

Um,

The girl is also an acquaintance, it is Liu Yan, the goddess sect. Then the identity of the woman in the palace dress outside is about to emerge, and Liu Yu, the leader of the goddess sect.

The originally swaying balance was tilting towards the cult little by little, but suddenly a huge weight was placed on the right path, breaking the overall balance

The powerful man who has been famous for a long time solved these cult people who have exhausted their power, and then the other side

All four people who left their bodies were killed. Even the four people who passed the tribulation period were left behind by the leader of the Demon Sect. After this battle, the cult's vitality was greatly damaged.

The Prince's Army attacked the city, and the imperial guards and the Pingnan army were all killed, but the cult had already retreated. The prince was taken into prison without any resistance, and the rebellious army surrendered on the spot.

After sleeping for more than three days, Lu Wentao recovered his energy. Before he knew it, he was on the verge of breaking through again.

All the people from all the mountain gates arrived one after another, and everyone had almost achieved cultivation. So at the invitation of the Emperor of the Eastern Wei, they attended the celebration banquet held in the palace. After drinking and eating, everyone was curious about what happened, so the people involved answered the questions one by one.

It turned out that when Liu Yu was still in seclusion when he delivered the letter to the Goddess Sect, Liu Yan and Bai Yaoyao were still traveling outside, so no one came. Later, after they returned to the sect to learn the news, they rushed to Luoyang.

Since Bai Yaoyao was practicing the cult skills at the same time, she sneaked into the Honglu Temple Inn at night

Although the two of them are in the Nascent Soul stage, if they need to break the deadlock, they obviously need stronger combat power. The two of them acted separately. Liu Yan, who was easily discovered, returned to the Goddess Sect to report the news. It happened that Liu Yu broke through and left the barrier, so he sent people to the major mountain gates to report the news. They took the lead.

After a while, no matter how long it took to calculate, it was a day different. In the end, Bai Yaoyao found a man in the martial arts world to take action. Without being discovered by the cult, he forced himself to Luoyang City for a day.

The ups and downs of the situation, the unexperienced people were so fascinated that they could not bear it and try their best to kill the demons and eliminate the demons.

As the night gradually deepened, Lu Wentao also encountered the Shura Field, the first time in his life.
