Three days passed in a flash.
Xia Ji wore a beast-faced head-swallowing chain armor, holding a large dark halberd in his right hand, and four hundred and eight rosary beads wrapped around his left hand, standing on the snow-covered east gate wall.
Xia Xiaosu held a dagger in her arms, wore rosary beads in her hands, was wrapped in black clothes, and held a white plum oil-paper umbrella. She stood beside him in the snow. Next to the Ninth Princess, Hu Xianer was wrapped in a cloak. Standing quietly, she has come back.
The brother and sister looked at each other, their expressions extremely calm.
Suddenly…
The peace of the imperial city was broken.
Even from a long distance, you can feel the earth shaking, as if thunder close to the ground is approaching rapidly in the distance.
A huge mountain of cavalry came from afar, with "Shang" and "Nangong" dancing on the flags...
The city captain guarding the city had already received the news and cheered excitedly, "It's General Nangong, General Nangong is here!"
"Open the city gate, open the city gate quickly!"
"Welcome General Nangong!"
It seems that the war is over. When the emperor's soldiers return to the imperial city, all the haze will be driven away. Refugees will no longer starve to death or die of illness. Everyone will have food to eat, clothes to wear, and a house to live in. The imperial city will return to what it was like before the war, and everything will be fine.
"General Nangong!"
"Your Majesty is coming back!"
“Great, really great!!”
Some "common people" who seemed to have been rehearsed started cheering.
Not long after, a general wearing a golden-winged iron helmet led an army to appear at the gate of the city. Nangong Hesheng was extremely tall, holding a long-handled machete in his hand. He suddenly shook his head and said in a loud voice: "Please open the city gate, His Majesty the Seventh Highness!!" "
Xia Jidao: "Let the 30,000 troops retreat thirty miles, and General Nangong will bring a few of his confidants into the city."
Nangong He laughed and said: "I led troops into the city on the order of the Emperor to stabilize the people's hearts, but His Highness resisted the order and was disrespectful. Does His Highness want to rebel?"
He then looked at the soldiers standing on the city wall, and suddenly shouted out of luck: "You also want to accompany His Highness in the rebellion? Why don't you open the city gate soon!"
The sound spread towards the city...
The "common people" started clamoring again.
"The emperor is kind and kind, but the seventh prince actually disobeys the decree and disrespects it?"
"This is simply disloyal and unfilial."
"Everyone, open the city gates. Your Majesty has sent General Nangong He back. Our good days are coming."
Under the instigation of thoughtful people, these voices were spread in the streets and alleys. The source could not be found or touched, but they spread wider and wider, and the shouts became louder and louder.
Nangong He laughed loudly and said: "Your Majesty, Seventh Highness, you have only defended the city for a short time. The people have lost all their support. Open the city gate quickly. What can you do with your own strength? Is it possible that you feel invincible after defeating several foreign races?" Is it great? Hahahaha!"
Xia Ji stared at the 30,000-strong army. The majestic armor of this army was like a black cloud covering the city. The black cloud was about to destroy the city. As he watched, he suddenly showed a strange look.
It doesn't seem to be very strong. Why don't you go down and have a look
The previous battles with Guifang were against General Guifang and the Frost Giants. After that, although they were said to be fighting monks, they were actually fighting against the eight-foot-long golden Arhat. As for attacking the military formation, I had never done anything like that. , now he is wearing magic armor, holding a black halberd, and has 408 rosary beads. He is fully equipped. He is much stronger than when he was at Leiyin Temple. No matter what happens, he can escape unscathed.
It's just... They all say that one person cannot fight against an army, but that is when there is a mysterious formation, and the mysterious formation is obviously a very rare thing, and Nangong He doesn't look like it.
How about... let's take a look
If you don't try, how can you know whether one person is stronger or an army is weaker
As soon as this idea came up, it was out of control.
He simulated it again in his mind and found that he was tired at most, but it didn't look like he could be killed. The opponent might have a magic weapon, but he didn't
So, he glanced at the Ninth Emperor's Girl beside him.
Xia Xiaosu cast her eyes towards the direction of the city, where the noise of the mob could be heard. She suddenly nodded to her brother, indicating that things were settled here and there was no problem.
Xia Ji said: "I'm going to try to charge into the formation."
Xia Xiaosu was stunned and whispered: "Brother, the only people who can charge with you are eight hundred dead soldiers. These dead soldiers are currently stuck at key points, carrying out their missions."
Xia Jidao: "I'll try it alone."
"Eh?"
Saying that, without waiting for Xia Xiaosu to speak again, he looked towards the city.
Under the city, the general wearing a double-winged iron helmet was still laughing: "Your Majesty, if I were you, I would definitely open the city gate at this time. After all, you are the emperor's son. Although you have done something wrong and you are cruel and arrogant, you are still the emperor's son." Your Majesty is magnanimous, as long as you shoulder the blame and apologize, then maybe you can forget about it. Why should you
Open the city gate quickly. You have no soldiers left in this city. There will be no soldiers. You can't fight alone. If you weren't the prince, I would have ordered an attack on the city. Can't the city gate be broken down in a moment? "
Xia Ji looked at him, suddenly jumped over, and jumped directly from the top of the city, crashing to the ground like a dark meteor mixed with death.
The ground shook**.
The cracked texture followed him as he fell, spreading in all directions from his feet, like a huge spider web.
The smoke and dust in the central pit dispersed, revealing Xia Ji's appearance. He raised his head, and his black hair danced like a devil in the flying snow.
But his eyes were as calm as those of a Buddha.
He raised his right hand, and the eight-foot-long black halberd seemed to feel its master's excitement. The black demonic energy was no longer concealed, coiling like a snake.
He raised his left hand, and the sound of Sanskrit and Buddhist chants could be vaguely heard from the 408 rosary beads. Indistinctly, hundreds of swastikas moved around, like a golden dragon circling, but there were five-fingered cages bound in that big hand. Inside, only the dragon pupils full of divine power were revealed, staring quietly into the distance.
Xia Ji said calmly: "General Nangong, let's have a competition between you and me?"
When Nangong Heyi saw this appearance, he immediately lost all interest in the duel. He rode his horse back into the military formation. A heavy shield wall was immediately erected, and sharp spears appeared between the walls, and then there was a rush. The sound of footsteps came. Soldiers holding repeating crossbows and long bows were already in place, followed by armored cavalry.
Nangong Hezhi's army obviously had a trick up its sleeve. The formation changed very quickly and turned into an iron barrel in an instant, like a steel monster standing in the wind and snow, unable to be broken.
He stood in the army and suddenly felt safe, so he laughed and said: "Your Highness, I know you are extremely brave, but so what? I advise you not to resist needlessly. Otherwise, the Emperor will also give me Order."
"What order?"
"Those who refuse to open the city gate will be killed without mercy!"
As soon as the word "pardon" came out of his mouth, he saw the prince coming across from him. Nangonghe was stunned for a moment, and then he realized what he was doing, and sneered: "Your Highness is arrogant, so you will suffer the consequences! Shoot the arrow." !”
Swish swish swish! ! !
There were sounds of countless machines activating, arrows shot out of the crossbow, and a black cloud suddenly "floated" in the originally gloomy sky. This black cloud shrouded the prince who didn't know the height of the sky, and arrows shot out one after another. Non-stop, several bursts of shots.
Xia Ji looked up at the rain, saluted with his left hand, and the black Buddha light rose up. The three-foot Ming King's dharma image broke out of his body. His whole body doubled in size, reaching a height of nearly three meters.
Ding ding ding ding! !
Arrows fell wildly on the King Ming's Dharma, but they hit the extremely hard material like this. Let alone break it, they couldn't even leave a trace.
Xia Ji felt the speed of consumption of his own energy, and then discovered...
Very low consumption.
After all, this was the first time he tried to fight one against ten thousand, so he still exercised due caution and said excitedly: "Is it just this little strength?"
In the military formation, a cold look flashed in Nangong He's eyes, and then he suddenly took out a black nail, held it tightly, closed his eyes, and muttered something, then his pupils suddenly opened wide, and his spirit reached its peak, and the nail was immediately activated. It turned into a black light and shot towards Xia Ji.
Xia Ji saw this black light.
He could feel that it was a magic weapon.
Sure enough, there is a magic weapon.
He suddenly became serious, and nine scorching suns burst out of his body and surrounded him, turning into a second layer of protection.
The four hundred and eight rosary beads wrapped around Xia Ji's left hand suddenly disappeared, and the vast Zen spirit burst out like a volcano. The rosary beads disappeared one after another, becoming an extremely dazzling spot on his left palm, like the golden light of the approaching sun.
The golden light expanded rapidly as he pushed out his left hand. When the black light swept in front of him, the golden light turned into a solid golden Buddha palm ten feet long.
The Buddha's palm hit the black light.
In an instant, the black light disappeared...
The black nail was counterattacked by the powerful spiritual power, and the spirit in it was like a firefly hitting the sun and the moon. How could it compete for the glory
As a result, the black light was instantly submerged, lost all properties of the magical weapon, fell from mid-air, and became an ordinary nail.
And this giant golden Buddha's hand continued to move and expand unabated. When it moved forward rapidly,
It expanded to fifteen feet,
twenty feet,
By the time it reached the first soldier, it had become a giant hand that was thirty feet long.
The giant hand took a direct shot, and this shot directly captured more than a thousand soldiers who were standing closely together. All of these soldiers immediately fell down, and their shields and weapons fell to the ground.
The soldiers were suppressed by the Buddha's hand and could not move.
Xia Ji pressed lightly with the palm of his left hand, and the Buddha's hand also pressed down for another half minute.
Those soldiers didn't even say a word, they just stood still and turned into sculptures. Then they were blown away by the cold wind and disappeared into ashes in the heavy snow.
