Yan Zhengqing roared, and the flying sword in his hand suddenly circled wildly, instantly crushing more than a dozen of Guo Guibang's personal soldiers around him. He immediately shouted, "Teams one, two, and three, cover the rear. The rest of you follow me, we can't let the city gates close!"
The 30 men from the first, second and third teams immediately lined up in a row, and they blocked the remaining 800 enemies. Yan Zhengqing himself led 70 men and rushed directly to the half-closed city gate.
"Hua La..." Dozens of defenders rushed out of the city gate and blocked the city gate. Although the battle was hasty, Guo Guibang still had some elite troops in his hands.
Yan Zhengqing suddenly let out a long roar, and the flying sword in his hand suddenly expanded from a three-foot-long blade to a giant sword ten feet in size. The giant sword rolled and swept across the front of the city gate. Dozens of soldiers who had just rushed out of the city gate were instantly cut in half!
"Magic weapon! This is a magic weapon! I actually saw a magic weapon!" On the city wall, Guo Guibang was already numb.
Yan Zhengqing killed the soldier in front of him with a sword, and rushed to the front, directly into the city gate; seventy people followed behind him and entered one after another.
Seeing the situation develop to this point, Guo Guibang finally gritted his teeth and said, "Use the talisman to force them out of the city gate!"
The talismans are very expensive, and Guo Guibang would not be willing to give them away unless he had absolutely no other choice; but now he has no choice but to do so.
There are many types of talismans, including yin and yang, five elements, four images, exorcism and blessing, swordsmanship, strange magical powers, etc. Most of the talismans used on the battlefield are five-element talismans, especially ice and fire.
A dozen talismans were used inside the small city gate, and instantly the city gate turned into a huge flame furnace. The high temperature even melted the bricks and stones nearby.
Yan Zhengqing and the others naturally had talismans on them, and a piece of frozen talisman was sprinkled out, instantly extinguishing the high temperature.
But before Yan Zhengqing and others could continue fighting, a piece of freezing talisman was sprinkled over there, and in an instant the doorway changed from a hell of fire to a hell of frost.
Yan Zhengqing was furious. After this delay, he had already wasted the best opportunity. Finally, he said angrily: "Listen, I order you to throw all the freezing talismans out! You like freezing, right? I want to see how you can stay here!"
Another large piece of frozen talismans fell, and the doorway was instantly frozen three feet deep. A breath could be frozen into a ball of frost and fall. For those who were not in the foundation-building stage, as long as they took a step into this place, their true essence would be frozen immediately, and the whole person would be frozen into an ice sculpture in the blink of an eye.
Yan Zhengqing led more than seventy people to retreat, and immediately turned around to kill those personal soldiers.
As for Guo Guibang, seeing the city gate turning into an ice cave, he immediately ordered the elite troops to fly down from the city wall to rescue those personal soldiers who had suffered heavy casualties.
Yan Zhengqing saw that the advantage of the surprise attack had disappeared and that it would be disadvantageous to continue the fight, so he immediately led the assault team to retreat. However, the retreat was not a direct retreat, but a fight and retreat. If the enemy chased them, they would run away; if the enemy did not chase them, they would fight! This made Guo Guibang keep jumping up and down and cursing. The entanglement was so fierce that even the powerful crossbows on the city wall could not shoot.
The fight continued like this until they were out of the range of the crossbows, and Yan Zhengqing led the soldiers to retreat. After a fierce conflict, twelve of the one hundred elite assault men were killed, and the rest were all injured.
