Shangguan Qingcheng gritted his teeth, his expression unspeakable.
Indeed, if the demon clans all went to deal with the Taoist soldiers, then the Xianting cultivator team led by He Jingcheng would have no opponents. In the previous battles, a large part of the reason why they were able to keep Qingzhou City was because Yu Tamarin was able to contain He Jingcheng.
Although it is difficult for Yu Tamarin to defeat the opponent under the suppression of the Yaozu monks by the Immortal Court, it can be held back anyway.
In fact, the battle has lasted until now, and it didn't take too long, and Qingzhou City's strategy has always been very clear, which is to completely defend and delay until the main force of Li Ye and Ping Lu's army return to help.
Originally, this strategy has been well implemented.
Although there are not many moves that Shangguan Qingcheng can command, she is a military general after all, and Qingzhou is also a strong city, and most of the soldiers can fight bloody battles to the death. Coupled with Cui Keli's strong logistics support, the Pinglu army suffered a lot of casualties and the city was full of wounded, but Shangguan Qingcheng reckoned that it would not be a big problem to support it for a while.
But no one could have imagined that Xianting actually dispatched Taoist soldiers.
The fact that Xianting attaches so much importance to Qingzhou, or Li Ye, also surprised the Pinglu people who had been underestimated by Xianting before.
But things have come to this, Shangguan Qingcheng has no choice. As the leader of this battle, she had to deal with it. The order she received later was to defend Qingzhou City, so unless she died in battle, Qingzhou would not be allowed to lose.
No, even if she died at the gate of the city, the Xuanwu army would not be allowed to step into the city.
Shangguan Qingcheng pulled down her armor, the blood-stained iron armor covered her face, revealing only a pair of determined eyes, she said: "Monster monks continue to contain He Jingcheng, this group of Taoist soldiers, leave it to me!"
After saying that, she gave an order to the messenger: "All Spike Fangs gather!"
Hearing her military order, not only Cui Keli's face changed drastically, but even Yu Tamarin was very surprised. The latter Weng Sheng dissuaded him: "A thousand Dao soldiers are not as simple as a thousand real people. Even though the Spikes are elite , but after all, the realm is too low, and not all monks, I am afraid that there is no possibility of victory in this battle!"
Cui Keli also quickly persuaded: "General, as the commander-in-chief of the three armies, he is related to the entire battle situation. You must not take risks easily, otherwise the city will not survive!"
He is very clear that among the generals of the Pinglu army, Shangguan Qingcheng is one of the two highest military strategists. He has an extraordinary status and is the most favored by Li Ye. Blame him for not discouraging him well
Shangguan Qingcheng didn't intend to listen to persuasion, she looked around the two of them, her voice was like gold, and she said loudly: "Although the soldiers of Langya are not as good as real people, but this general is a military general! How many military generals are there in the world? This battle This will not necessarily lose!"
After saying that, she turned around and walked towards the corridor. Cui Keli wanted to persuade him again, but Shangguan Qingcheng's cold shout sounded: "This is a military order, you must obey it!"
When tens of thousands of soldiers of the Xuanwu Army rushed to the foot of Qingzhou City with a thousand Taoist soldiers in a crowd, and were about to attack the city, unexpectedly, the city gate suddenly opened slowly, gradually revealing the iron wall inside. Langya.
Three thousand soldiers in black armor and black robes are ready to go, and each of them exudes a strong killing spirit. The leading general in silver armor and white robe, carrying a Poyun lance, is particularly eye-catching.
The moment the city gate was completely opened, this elite cavalry rushed out like a torrent. Amidst the sound of rumbling horseshoes, like a sharp arrow, it charged straight at a thousand soldiers!
The generals of the Xuanwu Army were not surprised, they did not expect that Shangguan Qingcheng would dare to attack at this time.
In the previous battles, Langya took the initiative to attack from time to time, disrupting the battle formation of the Xuanwu army, responding to the defenders at the top of the city, thus repelling the Xuanwu army.
This military formation led by General Yinjia has long left a strong psychological shadow on the soldiers of the Xuanwu Army. Several military generals died under the opponent's hands, and countless soldiers were killed by the opponent. .
As soon as they saw this fine cavalry bathed in the misty light and blessed by the military general's battle formation, the Xuanwu army instinctively felt afraid.
On the watchtower behind the Xuanwu army formation, Zhu Wen saw Langya facing the Taoist soldiers fearlessly, his brows were slightly frowned, and his heart was extremely moved.
He's not the kind of person who smiles on his face and sells his mother in his heart. Most of the time, he will say what he thinks in his heart.
So he said with emotion: "After fighting for many days, the Pinglu army suffered heavy casualties. Only about 60% of them can still fight now. If it is an ordinary army, under this kind of battle situation, everyone is afraid that the soldiers will be in danger, and their morale has long been low. It can be said. However, the Pinglu Army did not retreat, but they still have the tendency to fight more and more courageously, why is this?"
The staff beside him said disdainfully: "It's just a group of idiots who don't know the current affairs. They want to seek death. Who can stop them?"
The meaning of the staff's words is to resolve the possible impact of Zhu Wen's words on morale, which can be described as well-intentioned.
But Zhu Wen didn't appreciate it. He sneered and said, "If all my soldiers are brave enough to seek death on the battlefield, how can I still be invincible?"
The staff member opened his mouth, unable to speak.
At this time, a famous young man said: "King An ruled Pinglu for several years. With the help of Confucian scholars, the officials were clear, the government was well-organized and the people were harmonious, and the people were prosperous. Under such circumstances, the hearts of the people were naturally unprecedentedly united. Facing outside invaders, Not only the soldiers of the armed forces, but even the civilians in the city will fight to the death in order to protect their homeland and the rich life they have gained."
"The Xuanwu army's division is unknown. Although the generals want to make contributions and the soldiers want to plunder after breaking through the city, but relying on these things to support them, once the war lasts, the morale will naturally drop a lot. After encountering desperate resistance, they are willing. Not many people will fight with their lives."
Zhu Wen glanced back, he recognized the speaker, it was a new Confucian scholar named Zhang Zhongsheng, who was said to be one of the seventy-two outstanding Confucian scholars.
When Zhang Zhongsheng came to Xuanwu Army, he didn't really join Zhu Wen, but wanted to see if Xuanwu Army had a chance to capture Qingzhou City. Confucian scholars need to be well-informed to govern the country and the world.
Zhang Zhongsheng continued: "It is said that Confucian scholars can only govern civil affairs. They are useful in peacetime, but they have no place to gain a foothold in troubled times. This statement is naturally absurd. If there were no Cui Keli and the Cui family scholars to govern Pinglu, how could it be prosperous and prosperous today? Not to mention the lack of supplies of military equipment, food and fodder, and the morale of the army, it is impossible to say that the soldiers will fight to the death and the people will help. If this were not the case, Qingzhou City would have been captured by the Xuanwu army long ago. The army and the people are united with the people. Virtue, unity from top to bottom, common hatred against the enemy, this is the capital of the ruler of the world!"
Zhu Wen's expression lifted when he heard the words, Mao Sai suddenly realized, and couldn't help nodding his head, "Mr.
Seeing a Confucian scholar talking so eloquently, He Jingcheng was not happy.
He sneered and said: "Don't put gold on the face of Confucianism. In the face of the absolute power of my Taoist Immortal Court, all obstacles are destined to be swept away! Don't you see, my Immortal Court Dao Bing is about to defeat the wolf fangs!" !"
What He Jingcheng said was good.
While everyone was talking, the Spike City, which had fought out of the city, encountered a thousand Dao soldiers, but did not reproduce its previous glorious record. Instead, they were crushed and beaten by the Dao soldiers. Risk of possible rupture.
And Shangguan Qingcheng himself failed to break into the Taoist formation and tear apart the opponent's line of defense.
"The overall situation has been decided. Even her Shangguan Qingcheng can't last for two moments." He Jingcheng chuckled, complacent, and glanced at Zhang Zhongsheng provocatively, "In front of my Daoist sect, all power is just a cloud, and it will disappear at the touch of it!"
Zhang Zhongsheng stopped talking.
Although the other party's remarks were extreme, he did not agree with them, but the situation of the battle was like this, and he could not ignore the facts.
Although most Confucian scholars are stubborn, saying that they can't win the opponent in a debate, they like to talk about benevolence, righteousness and morality, but Zhang Zhongsheng is not such a character.
Just when Zhu Wen and the others thought that Langya would be defeated and that Qingzhou City could make a backhand, all of a sudden, everyone's hearts trembled without warning.
It was as if a thunderbolt suddenly fell beside them.
Including He Jingcheng, everyone couldn't help looking towards the west sky, and they sensed the direction from which the palpitating force came.
Then they all looked horrified.
The fire in the sky burns under the clouds, and a sword comes from the east.
The sword energy is like a rainbow light, it is so eye-catching that there is no need to distinguish it, it arrives in an instant.
No matter how strong Jing Cheng is, he couldn't help shaking his shoulders. From this sword, he felt the incomparable power of the avenue and the irreversible will of the emperor.
If he was not in the mortal world, He Jingcheng would almost have thought that it was a sword slashed by the Immortal Emperor!
The green and white sword energy magnified sharply in the eyes of everyone, and when it descended in front of Qingzhou City, it was already three hundred feet long.
A novel app that has been running stably for many years, comparable to the old version of the book chasing artifact, the source-changing app used by old bookworms, huanyuanapp.org
Like a meteor falling into the mortal world, the sword energy went straight to the thousand soldiers who were fighting with Langyadu!
In the eyes of all those who saw this sword, at this moment, the mountains and rivers lost their color, all things lost their voices, and there was only one sword between heaven and earth.
The sword intent shocked everyone's minds, making them unable to pay attention to other things.
No one can describe the elegance of this sword, they can only be shocked and terrified, and then engrave this picture in their minds.
The source of the sword energy is a three-foot long sword burning with dragon-shaped green flames.
As for the sword bearer, whether it is He Jingcheng or Zhu Wen, they are all very familiar.
"Li Ye?!" He Jingcheng's eyes widened, "How could it be Li Ye?! He is obviously just the real Yangshen, how could he have such a tyrannical sword... Could it be that he has already achieved the fairyland?! How could Xianting grant him the qualification to become a fairy?!"
He didn't have time to search for the answer to this question, he only knew that he would never be able to take this sword, so he hurriedly shouted at the Taoist formation: "Defend!"
Just as he finished speaking, there was a bang, and a mask of light rose on the ground on the Daoist battle formation.
As the light curtain rose, the raging spiritual energy swept and spread like a wave like a tide, and smoke and dust rose from the loess, and the soldiers of the Xuanwu Army around, and those who were a little closer were all blown away, flying like catkins and cotton.
After the initial shock, He Jingcheng calmed down. It's true that he couldn't take the sword, but it didn't mean that the Dao soldiers couldn't take it, especially the thousand Dao soldiers with full defense!
He is too aware of the combat power of Dao soldiers, that does not belong to the power of the mortal world, even if the real fairyland descends, it will not be able to easily break through the combined defense of a thousand Dao soldiers!
"Li Ye! You can't win! Even if you come in person, you won't be able to break the Taoist formation of Xianting! If you fight against Xianting, you will definitely die!" He Jingcheng yelled wildly, as if he could convince himself to regain his confidence.
He didn't forget to greet ordinary Xianting monks: "Surround up, prepare to surround and kill Li Ye, a little thief who is against the sky!"
He Jingcheng thought that Li Ye would be weak after a sword strike, and that was an opportunity for monks in Xianting to take advantage of.
But he was wrong.
