Imperial Capital, rainy night.
The iron cavalry fell, splashing two feet of rain, and the water splashed down, like the sound of a jingle, lingering in the streets and alleys of the imperial capital.
The sound of iron armor rubbing, the sound of swords being unsheathed, and the sound of killing.
The hustle and bustle enveloped the sky over this old city.
On the tower, Jiang Li's well-trained soldiers stretched their bows and pressed the arrow's tail feathers tightly with their thumbs, making their fingertips turn blue. The rainwater hit the tail feathers and splashed, creating a chilling atmosphere. , along the arrow seems to spread throughout the air.
Under the city.
The horse neighed.
Tang Yimo was wearing a bamboo hat and coir raincoat while driving.
The rain fell continuously from the sky, engulfed by the fleeting thunder in the clouds, dripped on the ground, and flowed along the water channel of the Dijing Long Street, making endless crashing sounds.
In the carriage.
There was an old man coughing.
The surroundings were quiet and impermanent, only Tang Xiansheng's cough lingered.
The old eunuch held an umbrella in one hand and hung a fly whisk in the other. Instead of the usual timidity in front of the emperor, his eyes were filled with endless vigor and ferocity.
"Tang Xiansheng... Your Majesty orders you to enter the palace immediately! Otherwise... leave with your head held high!"
The thin voice of the old eunuch destroyed the silence of the rain curtain, surrounding the alleys around the tower.
On the surrounding roofs, the auras of Black Dragon Guards wearing black robes and armors were slowly surging, causing the rain to fall at a much slower speed.
These black dragon guards are stronger and more orderly than the guards on the long street.
The Black Dragon Guard is the essence of Jiang Li's training, and this is also Yu Wenxiu's confidence.
Even Tang Xiansheng had to admit that the Black Dragon Guard had Jiang Li's auxiliary training, which seemed to be stronger than the Nanfu army.
Although Jiang Li is not a cultivator, but instead of cultivating the Black Dragon Guards in the way of a cultivator, he uses the method of the army to train practitioners of the dead.
These people possess spiritual energy, and each of them is equivalent to a master warrior in the world, especially the neat and orderly killing methods, which are extremely powerful and terrifying.
This is also the reason why Tang Xiansheng was jealous of Jiang Li and wanted to get rid of it quickly.
"Cough cough... the old man contracted a cold and is seriously ill. Please tell your majesty, my father-in-law. I will forgive you."
Tang Xiansheng's voice came from the rain-beaten carriage.
The voice was not loud, but the old eunuch could hear it clearly.
There are practitioners from the Nanfu army around the carriage.
They were all wearing bamboo hats. These people were Tang Xiansheng's second-in-commands who had been planted in the Imperial Capital long ago and were ready to escort him away.
Seeing these Nanfu army practitioners, the coldness on the old eunuch's face became more intense.
"Well, you Tang Xiansheng, it turns out that you have planned a long time ago to plot against General Jiang Li, a treacherous courtier, and today you will definitely be captured and kneel down to His Majesty for mercy!"
"You are not the young master of Beiluolu, you really treat yourself to this imperial capital, you can come and leave whenever you want?!"
"Three hundred black dragon guards obey orders, shoot and kill!"
"I want you today, I can't escape!"
The sharp voice of the old eunuch was like a roar, lingering around the imperial city, tearing apart the clouds in the sky.
The moment the words fell.
Above the city tower, the archers let go of the taut arrows they had been pulling.
The sound of the bowstring stretching is like playing a life-threatening movement.
Countless arrows flew down from the city tower overwhelmingly, the arrows exuded a cold light, and shattered drop after drop of raindrops.
boom!
Tang Yimo's eyes narrowed slightly at the front of the carriage.
"It's hard work."
He spoke slowly, his voice a little hoarse.
He was speaking to Tang Xiansheng in the carriage.
"Just treat it like a deal."
Tang Xiansheng's voice came through the curtain of the carriage.
"I don't want to die, because if I die, my sister and my mother will definitely have a miserable life, so I have to live."
Tang Yimo stood up from the carriage, rainwater kept falling from the edge of the bamboo hat, and the coir raincoat also vibrated with water vapor.
"Of course you have to live, and you have to see the day your sister gets married, and your mother and I are still waiting for you to take care of us."
Tang Xiansheng's voice came out again.
"With your fighting this time, promise your mother and sister the wealth and glory for the rest of their lives."
The world became very quiet.
The thunder roared and exploded in the sky, just like the atmosphere in the imperial capital at that time, it was extremely chilling.
Tang Yimo slowly untied the string of the coir raincoat around his neck.
"this is the last time."
Tang Yimo said.
There was silence in the carriage for a while, and then a hoarse voice came out.
"good."
Words fell.
The arrows had also fallen, and almost landed on the carriage, and an arrow continued to expand in front of Tang Yimo's eyes.
hum...
Tang Yimo's coir raincoat exploded, along with water droplets that exploded.
The spiritual energy fluctuations spread around, causing arrows to fly out one after another.
Around the carriage.
The cultivators of the Nanfu Army drew their knives one after another, and the clanging sound resounded endlessly.
The spiritual energy turned into a sharp knife air, which cut across the ground and cut away the accumulated water on the ground, which was difficult to heal for a long time.
"kill!"
Tang Yimo's voice cracked.
The practitioners of the Nanfu Army responded with low growls.
"Here!"
The Nanfu army was trained by Tang Yimo. Although Tang Yimo didn't understand the training methods of the army, he trained the Nanfu army according to the improved low-profile version of "Eight Meridians Dunjia Demon Art", and it was quite effective.
The old eunuch saw Tang Xiansheng fight back.
Flick the whisk.
The Black Dragon Guards also moved one after another.
In addition to the Black Dragon Guard, there are also iron cavalry and soldiers in the imperial capital.
The horse's hooves were tearing, and they charged on the long street, the sharp spear in their hands reflected the splendor of the night.
The Nanfu army rushed out.
They drew their knives from their waists, and the aura of the knives merged with the aura and penetrated the air two feet after two feet.
While running at high speed, he suddenly knelt on his knees and slid across the bluestone ground of the long street full of stagnant water.
The knife in his hand swept out.
The charging cavalry was struck by the saber energy before it even got close.
The horse's belly was split open with knife marks, blood sprayed out with a "splash", and internal organs were scattered all over the floor.
The front hoof was also cut off and fell to the ground.
The cavalry on the horse's back fell to the ground, rolled on the spot, kicked up rainwater all over the ground, and was cut off by the saber energy of the Nanfu army.
The old eunuch narrowed his eyes.
"Nanjun Nanfu Army, like the Black Dragon Guard, is formed by practitioners who have broken through the Dragon Gate... Tang Xiansheng is quite ambitious."
The old eunuch flicked his sleeves, and then dispatched iron-blooded soldiers to continue the charge.
The Nanfu army is not Bai Yujing's monstrous cultivator.
The number of people employed can also be stacked to death.
When they are exhausted, they can be harvested by the Black Dragon Guard.
On the surrounding roofs, black dragon guards in black armor looked like sculptures. Their eyes were like eagle eyes, staring at the Nanfu army fighting on the long street.
Their hands fell on the broadswords at their waists.
This knife was specially ordered by Jiang Li to be made by the blacksmith in the imperial capital. It is a big knife exclusive to the Black Dragon Guard. Jiang Li named it Li Dao.
The back of the knife is two fingers thick, the blade is black, without a point, it looks like a broken knife.
The blade is sharp, can blow hair and break hair, and it is extremely heavy. If ordinary elite soldiers are equipped with this knife, they will not even be able to swing it.
But the Black Dragon Guard is equipped with Li Dao, which can unleash extremely powerful killing power.
On the long street, the rainwater quickly turned into blood, and the rain from the sky didn't have time to wash away, because as soon as it washed away, new rainwater flowed down.
Tang Yimo's coir raincoat exploded and he got up from the carriage.
After landing, the rain splashed four feet.
His legs swept out, hitting the splashing water droplets, causing the water droplets to turn into sharp water arrows and shooting towards the imperial guards at the front.
Pooh!
It was like the muffled sound of an arrow shooting into flesh.
The guard flew out backwards, pressing down on the guard behind him, and fell down with a bang.
The Nanfu army, wearing bamboo hats, gathered around the carriage one after another.
"withdraw."
Tang Yimo spoke concisely.
Their purpose is to rush out of the imperial capital.
Instead of entangled with the defenders on the long street, the longer the entanglement, the more unfavorable the situation will be for them.
The practitioners of the Nanfu Army are also human beings, after all, they are not those monsters of Bai Yujing.
There is a time when the aura is exhausted.
Therefore, Tang Yimo was going to forcibly break the city.
The only way to leave is to break the city.
The defenders of the imperial capital shouted to kill, and the cold blade in their hands shone coldly in the rainy night.
But what Tang Yimo cares about is not these people, but the black dragon guards on the surrounding roofs. These black dragon guards are like poisonous snakes that choose people to eat, watching for opportunities.
The horse neighed.
A Nanfu army twitched the reins and let the horses start charging.
Tang Yimo blocked the way back, and faced the oncoming defenders alone.
"kill!"
The old eunuch roared sharply.
The umbrella in his hand was thrown away by him, he waved his whisk, and galloped out.
The old eunuch gained aura, and his strength increased dramatically.
Cooperate with the surrounding black dragon guards, especially to stop Tang Yimo.
Tang Yimo locked the old eunuch.
The Black Dragon Guards on the surrounding roofs also moved, jumping down from the roofs one after another, each with Li Dao on their backs.
This was the first collision between the Nanfu army and the Black Dragon Guard, and also the first collision between two cultivator armies in this world.
Clang!
The black dragon guards drew their Li sabers at the same time.
A burst of spiritual energy that has been brewing for a long time.
The sound overwhelmed the thunder in the sky, and the brilliance of the white blade was dazzling and dazzling.
…
Beiluo, an island in the middle of the lake.
Lu Fan returned to the second floor of the Baiyujing Pavilion.
The lines in his eyes danced, watching with interest.
In his eyes, the picture spanned a long distance, and emerged a bloody battle on the rainy night on the long street of the Imperial Capital.
What interested Lu Fan was that this was the first confrontation between the two armies of practitioners.
Black Dragon Guard and Nanfu Army.
The Black Dragon Guard was trained by Jiang Li, assisted by Kong Nanfei, and trained in the way of the army. According to Lu Fan's understanding, it was similar to special forces.
As for the Nanfu army, although it is also an army, Tang Yimo's practice method is more like practicing Sanren. Of course, because he is an army soldier, he also has the characteristics of an army.
Lu Fan didn't have much interest in this battle at first.
Because this is Tang Xiansheng's escape battle.
Tang Xiansheng tricked Jiang Li and wanted to run away.
But it's hard to say whether you can run or not.
And this battle of the cultivator army gave Lu Fan some small surprises.
"It's kind of interesting. Although they are all practitioners in the first or second stage of the Qidan realm, but... because they are an army, the fighting momentum they emanate is extremely strong."
The battle under the rainy night was full of blood.
Lu Fan leaned on the wheelchair, propped his chin in one hand, and held the bronze wine glass in the other.
He watched the fight.
"The aura of the army can be integrated into one body, and it can burst out oppression similar to spiritual pressure, which can impact the mind..."
The corners of Lu Fan's mouth twitched slightly.
"It's interesting, for a nine-stage qi pill, an ordinary army needs at least 8,000 to 10,000 people to encircle and kill it."
"But if it's the Nanfu army, if a nine-stage Qidan is besieged and killed, twenty or thirty people will be enough."
"The Black Dragon Guard is stronger. Once it gets close, the Li Dao created by Jiang Li has the power to decapitate with one blow, and requires fewer people."
"It's no wonder that the appearance of the Dragon Gate has changed the situation. If troops like the Black Dragon Guard and the Nanfu Army don't face practitioners head-on, dealing with ordinary troops is simply a sharp knife that can tear through breakthroughs."
Lu Fan took a sip of green plum wine and said.
Jiang Li was besieged by the Nanjun 100,000 Army and the Beijun Army, and was able to break out of the siege in a desperate situation, probably because of the Black Dragon Guard.
…
North County.
In the nameless valley.
Outside the valley, black soldiers and horses gathered. Tang Baiyun rode a white horse and wore silver armor, staring at the dark valley.
Jiang Li and his remaining 5,000 remnants of the army were hiding in that valley.
However, they rushed to the entrance of the valley many times, but they were unable to break through.
"Jiang Li has a black-armored army called the Black Dragon Guard. They are all formed by practitioners. Their fighting power is extremely strong. If they guard the pass in the valley, our army will not be able to break through at all."
A military commander cupped his hands and said.
"At the other end of the valley is the army of Beijun... Jiang Li can't escape, but this Tantai Xuan is cautious enough, and he has been reluctant to do it for a long time. It depends on us and Jiang Li killing each other, so we can take advantage of it?"
Tang Baiyun narrowed his eyes.
"Or, is he afraid that Jiang Li is just a bait thrown by us, that there may be fraud in it?"
"Heh... it must be the idea of the old Mojia Mobeike."
The white horse under Tang Baiyun hissed constantly, he pulled the rein and narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Eldest son, do you want to dispatch the Nanfu army?"
A general asked with his hands clasped.
"Nanfu army? No, this is the hole card, the hole card prepared for Tantaixuan, Jiang Li is already in a doomed situation, and the fighting method of the Nanfu army must not be exposed."
Tang Baiyun said.
After finishing speaking, he sighed again.
"Cultivators... really are the existences that can create miracles."
Without the Black Dragon Guard, Jiang Li and his remnant army alone would not be able to defend the pass.
"We can't stay here for too long at Jiang Li, to prevent Tantai Xuan from secretly investigating the Longmen, ordering someone to go to the North Commandery camp, and ask the prefect Tantai what he wants?"
"He entered from the other side of the valley in the north, and Jiang Li couldn't escape, but he didn't move his troops for a long time, which is somewhat unreasonable."
suddenly.
A general came hurriedly.
He clasped his hands and said to Tang Baiyun: "My lord, the barbarians of the Chili tribe don't offer sacrifices and ask to see you."
Tang Baiyun frowned in disgust, and waved his hands: "No see."
However, his eyes suddenly brightened.
"No... Let him come over. There are many obstacles in the valley. The barbarians are most suitable for this environment. They should have a lot of means. Let's see if they can force Jiang Li out!"
Hearing the words, the general hesitated for a while.
However, he still took orders.
"Here."
…
Tantaixuan stood on a boulder, with the banner fluttering in the wind of the night.
"The Black Dragon Guard trained by Jiang Li, and the army formed by practitioners, almost broke the rules of war. A single Black Dragon Guard can stop thousands of troops."
Tantaixuan said with emotion.
Mo Ju's feather fan swayed slightly, and the clothes on his body were blown in the night wind.
"My lord, Jiangli has the Black Dragon Guard, and Tang Baiyun also has the Nanfu army... It is also an army of practitioners, and the Nanfu army has never made a move. Obviously, Tang Baiyun does not want us to see the fighting methods of the Nanfu army. The back is waiting for us."
"Jiang Li must die, so he wants to keep his hole card."
"Keep your cards in your hand to smack us."
Mo Ju said.
Tantai Xuan nodded slightly.
"There is the Nanfu Army in South County, the Black Dragon Guard in Jiangli, and the Longmen in West County. With the temperament of an overlord, it is impossible not to form an army of practitioners... What do I have in North County? An army of practitioners... I must form an army in North County, otherwise, the whole world will be destroyed." To fight, what capital do I have in North County to fight?"
far away.
A cavalry came galloping.
"Report."
"The Nanjun army sent another army to attack the valley..."
The spies said.
"Oh? Attack again? Did the Nanfu army be dispatched?" Tantai Xuan asked with his red robe rolled up.
The spies shook their heads, but couldn't tell what kind of army it was.
Tantai Xuan narrowed his eyes.
It's not the Nanfu army, does Tang Baiyun still want to use ordinary troops to die
Is this guy out of his mind
"It's not the Nanfu army... what kind of army would it be?"
