Gong Xichou held a peculiar double-crescent snake-shaped halberd in one hand. The halberd was dark green in color, with a snake-like tip and a red tassel. The handle was decorated with delicate snake scales. At first glance, it looked like a dark green python.
He slammed the handle of his halberd to the ground.
With seemingly light movements, it sank several inches into the soil, and spider web cracks with it as the center spread out in all directions.
The young man had a very youthful face, and his flying eyebrows showed the four words of high spirits. The aura was stirring and spreading. At this moment, the soldiers far away on the city wall also felt a bone-chilling chill, as if they were really being stared at by a venomous snake with its head held high!
"Since you refuse to surrender, come down and fight!"
Under the city wall, Gong Xichou rode on a war horse.
The tall figure was quietly bathing in the bright sunlight pouring down, and a layer of hazy light covered the whole body. On and under the city wall, more than 20,000 people did not make a single noise, and there was silence, only the biting cold wind and the fluttering flags.
He raised his head confidently, his eyes as sharp as torches, and pointed his snake halberd at the leading warrior on the city wall, his movements full of provocation.
The leading warrior, Wudan, had a solemn expression on his face at this time.
It's not that he didn't want to jump down and fight the young man, but he couldn't. It was just a simple eye contact, but the invisible momentum had already begun to compete. Unlike Gong Xichou's understatement, he felt the vast momentum pressing like a tide!
At this time, Gong Xichou was no longer a human being in his eyes!
It’s a horde of soldiers beating drums and shouting for death!
It's thousands of horses galloping and raising dust!
In a trance, Gong Xichou's figure quickly enlarged in front of him, and in a few breaths, it was as tall as a mountain! He even had the illusion of countless poisonous snakes twisting behind Gong Xichou, each of which was swallowing its tongue, and its snake eyes were cold and vicious!
He thought the whole process took a long time, but in fact, only a few breaths of time had passed. When he came to his senses, he found that his forehead was already sweating like a pulp, and the cold sweat wet the black hair under the helmet. He was determined, bit his tongue, forced himself to boost his momentum, and fought back!
Gong Xichou's eyes lit up and he became interested.
Fighting is not his favorite job, but fighting is!
"I'll fight you!"
Upon seeing this, an officer clasped his fists and asked for a fight.
The acting commander was about to yell at him to leave.
He couldn't see through the strength and momentum of the young man below!
This has never happened to Captain Yang before.
If Captain Yang is a hill within sight—even if “looking at the hill will kill the horse”, at least he can see it, but the young general who challenged him is not. In his eyes, Gong Xichou is a hazy island shrouded in sea fog.
At first glance it seems that you can see it, but is the island really there
Even more terrifying is—
Captain Yang is the tenth-rank Zuo Shuchang!
He was promoted to the ninth rank, fifth official, at the age of thirty, and it took him another fifteen years to break through to the tenth rank, Zuo Shuchang. How old is this young man below
If I fight against this person in front of the battlefield, my chances of winning are almost zero!
Who knew that this fool would just step on the wall with his thick legs and jump directly!
He didn't even leave the city gate.
"Finally he's willing to come down!" Seeing the earthy brown Wu Qi leap down from the city wall with a loud bang, Gong Xichou's eyes lit up. He didn't care who was coming down. Seeing that the enemy had no intention of getting on the horse, he took the initiative to jump off the horse and laughed loudly.
But what he said was so irritating!
He actually said to the newcomer: "Come, come, come! Let's have a good fight, and I will grant you the most glorious death a warrior can ever have in battle!"
"Don't be so arrogant, you brat!" Although he was defeated in terms of momentum, the official could not swallow Gong Xichou's provocation. He took out a pair of heavy axes and shouted angrily, "I will not kill nameless people with my axe. Tell me your name!"
The young man was not angry and said, "I am Gong Xichou!"
Gongxi Chou
I've never heard of this name!
"Okay! Remember! The one who killed you is your father!"
He immediately yelled in anger, kicked his feet hard, and seemed to turn into a ball of earth-brown martial arts, rushing towards Gong Xichou with a murderous roar! He left a series of deep and clear footprints along the way!
Gong Xichou has been waiting for a long time, and instead of retreating, he advances!
boom!
A loud bang!
With the ear-drum-splitting sound of metal collision, the two martial energies had already clashed. The martial warrior from Xiaocheng was also quite skilled. The heavy double axes weighed more than 100 jin, but in his hands they were as light as feathers.
His strength is almost comparable to that of a tenth-rank Zuo Shuchang.
Even Captain Yang didn't dare to take it head-on!
This time, I met a tough guy!
Gong Xichou was taller than him, but not as sturdy as him. He was not considered a brave warrior who could rely on strength. But when the double axes met the halberd, he knew he was wrong. He was wrong in a big way! Gong Xichou's strength was amazing!
Captain Yang was so exhausted that his veins bulged when he received his full-strength attack, but Gong Xichou remained calm, except for his eyes that became brighter and brighter!
"You've come just in time! Come again!"
The two separated as soon as they touched. The subordinate used the impact force to leap up dozens of feet high, his center of gravity dropped, and the muscles in his arms visibly expanded, stretching out his arm guards. The martial energy of his two axes condensed into a huge brown bear phantom, killing Gong Xichou from top to bottom.
The brown bear phantom was three meters tall.
Hold your palms together, gather strength and smash down!
Gong Xichou swung his right arm, and the double-crescent snake-shaped halberd burst out a dark green martial energy, which instantly condensed into a nearly materialized dark green reticulated python. The moment the python appeared, the surrounding world seemed to be frozen. It shot up from bottom to top, opened its bloody mouth, and its fangs popped out, biting the phantom brown bear's paw. The python's body quickly wrapped around it, and its muscles tightened!
clang-
A loud shrill noise spread.
It was followed by a cracking sound that almost no one heard.
The huge axe in the official's left hand was unexpectedly pierced by the snake halberd. In a flash, before he could react, Gong Xichou's face with a wild and unruly look quickly enlarged, and then he felt a sharp pain in his abdomen and his body flew backwards.
Bang!
The drumbeats fell silent for a moment.
The next moment, the drums of the rebels sounded so loud that they seemed to break through the sky, while Xiaocheng's side slipped a little. The official's body left a long bloody "groove" on the ground. The severe pain in his abdomen spread throughout his body, and he vomited a large mouthful of blood and struggled to get up.
One of the two axes broke.
The remaining light became dimmer and dimmer.
The axe, which was usually as light as a feather, was so heavy that he could hardly lift it. The official struggled to stand up, and Gong Xichou in the distance became increasingly blurred in his sight. Although he could not see clearly, he knew that the other party did not pursue the victory, which made him feel humiliated!
"You little brat—"
Why stop!
Don’t you look down on your father
Most of the official's face was stained with vomited blood.
He thought he was roaring in anger from his chest, but in fact the sound was as soft as a mosquito's hum, intermittent. At this moment, he felt something was wrong, and his limbs seemed to be getting colder and colder. The remaining axe in his hand also became heavier, more than a hundred times heavier than usual!
On the battlefield, the wind was blowing hard.
The official felt as if the wind was penetrating his body.
Slightly bow your head -
He looked through the armor on his waist and saw the yellow earth and gravel behind him. The officer slightly widened his eyes. Blood continued to seep out from the wound in his abdomen, dripping along his skirt armor, wetting the yellow earth under his feet, and connecting with the bloody "gully" dragged on the ground. He opened his mouth and raised his head with difficulty.
The sound of armor metal colliding was amplified in my ears.
Together with Gong Xichou's figure, they approached.
As time and blood flowed, the sound became more and more distant, as if it came from the unreachable sky. He clenched his huge axe, a flash of white light flashed, his neck felt cold, and his blurred vision spun around. After that, he didn't know anything more.
Gong Xichou looked coldly at the head rolling at his feet and muttered.
"Not everyone can be my father. First of all, you have to be strong!" He shook off the blood on his hands.
The officials thought that a long time had passed, but from the time he was hit, to the time he stood up, to the time Gong Xichou chopped off his head, it was only a few breaths.
Gong Xichou repeated the sentence again.
"If you surrender now, you can keep your life!"
From his perspective, his words came from the heart.
But for Xiaocheng side it was further provocation and humiliation!
"You bastard!"
The warrior who was temporarily acting as the commander-in-chief was so angry that he punched the pillar.
But no one can resist them.
Gong Xichou's martial energy can condense into a nearly materialized "martial courage", proving that this person's strength is at least the thirteenth level, which is simply not something they can deal with. Even if Captain Yang is there, in a one-on-one situation, the only outcome is death.
Outside the city, Gong Xichou was still challenging.
"Really? You admit defeat after just one fight?"
Fighting generals before the battle is an old tradition.
In a one-on-one fight, Wenxin Wudan completely crushes ordinary people. The former is not an ant, and the damage is just a scratch. In a melee, the destructive power that a high-level Wudan warrior can cause is quite astonishing.
However, this does not mean that a Wudan warrior is truly invincible.
Even ordinary soldiers without the courage to fight can use "qi", which is neither martial qi nor literary qi, but the mysterious "morale". "Morale" can also mobilize the power of heaven and earth, even if one person's "morale" can only be regarded as a drop of water and is of little use.
But water droplets gathering together can form rivers and oceans!
The stronger the momentum, the higher the morale. Even if the level of the warrior who leads them is not high, they can be invincible by cooperating with the military formation.
Fighting in front of the battlefield is not only to hit the enemy's morale and weaken their strength, but also to boost our own morale.
Once the morale is boosted, all you need to do is use the "one-shot" mantra to get the upper hand. In the past, there were many examples of the weak defeating the strong, where the weaker party was forced into a desperate situation and burst out with strong morale, fought a desperate battle, and killed the stronger party in one breath.
The warrior who was temporarily acting as commander gritted his teeth.
Another subordinate official volunteered.
If you fight, you will die. If you don’t fight, you will die too. There is no other choice.
I would rather die outside the city than suffer such humiliation!
"I'll meet you!"
At this moment, a loud shout came from a distance.
The steed was stepping on four balls of martial energy that were like burning flames. Its speed was so fast that people thought it was flying in the air, with a person astride its back.
Seeing the familiar figure on horseback, the soldiers on the city wall became more motivated, the weakened drum beats rose again, and some even shouted. The temporary commander-in-chief suddenly opened his eyes wide, and his fists hanging at his sides trembled slightly.
The person who came was none other than Captain Yang who had disappeared for a long time.
It is not correct to say that it disappeared.
He was transferred away with the mission of escorting tax silver, but no one expected him to appear on the battlefield at the critical moment.
Gong Xichou said: "You are a bit stronger."
However, seeing Captain Yang's haggard face, Gong Xichou could not help but tell the truth: "You are not young anymore, and you look so haggard. It is not worth it to come up here and die. I have always respected the old and loved the young. If you go down, I will spare your life."
Captain Yang sneered: "So confident?"
Gong Xichou said: "The disparity in military strength is huge. Anyone with a discerning eye can see who is the one seeking death. Why are you doing this, old man?"
At present, Captain Yang, who is 45 or 46 years old, is considered "old" and is indeed qualified to be called "old man". He is at the standard age to enjoy the happiness of playing with grandchildren and family. However, Gong Xichou's "truth" did not anger Captain Yang, who remained calm.
Captain Yang said, "That won't work."
Gong Xichou sighed, "We still have to fight."
No matter how much I like fighting, I don’t like killing people every day.
Captain Yang asked him, "Are you sighing because you feel it's unfair?"
Gong Xichou "speaks the truth": "It is indeed suspected of bullying the elderly."
Captain Yang made a suggestion with a matter-of-fact look on his face, "In that case, let's be fair, how about two against one? One old and one young against you, a young man, that's fair."
Gong Xichou: “…”
He thought he was shameless enough because he was "naturally black", but he didn't expect that the Captain Yang in front of him was even more outrageous. He climbed up the ladder right in front of him and demonstrated what it meant to "take advantage of one's seniority"! He asked unnaturally, "Oh? Which 'young' do you mean?"
As soon as the words fell, a strong murderous intent broke through the air.
"Bai Ya!"
The bowstring hummed, and an inky black feather arrow flew towards his vitals.
The arrows glowed coldly.
Gong Xichou's expression remained unchanged.
Without even looking at the direction the arrow was coming from, he turned one hand into a bow and the other into an arrow, and counterattacked with the same exquisite archery skills.
There was the sound of the arrowhead clanging, followed by the arrow body splitting.
Gong Xichou's arrow made a blasting sound, and a dark green snake shadow was faintly visible on the arrow body. It broke the dark feather arrow with its unparalleled momentum, and flew towards the enemy without slowing down. Gong Xichou felt that this martial energy was somewhat familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had come into contact with it before.
Until the "young" in Captain Yang's mouth showed no change in expression, he fired two arrows at the same time, barely offsetting Gong Xichou's counterattack.
“So it’s you.”
Gong Xichou looked at Zhai Le who was wearing ink-colored armor.
Without waiting for Zhai Le to answer, he said, "I spared your life last time, but you didn't cherish this hard-earned life. Why are you rushing to die again? This time on the battlefield, out of respect for my opponent, I will not show mercy. Those who fight with me, either kill me or be killed by me, there is no third way!"
Gong Xichou can survive until now, so his enemies are all dead.
Zhai Le said: "If I am afraid of fighting, then I will be useless."
Gong Xichou nodded with satisfaction.
He said, "Hey, you might as well come and die."
The snake-shaped halberd in his hand turned into the long whip he had seen last time. The long whip hung down like a dark green spirit snake, but the bloody smell was more than ten times stronger than last time, and it also had a cold, sticky, bloody killing intent!
Gong Xichou said coldly: "Lest you live and become trouble later!"
