Chapter 563: World Candidate No. 2
Chapter 563: Second Candidate in the World
The fierce battle continued.
Clang!
At the gap in the city wall, when the black knife slashed towards the 200th personal soldier but was blocked, the surrounding Northern Wei soldiers were stunned for a moment.
The people present only then realized that King Yong, who had been fighting until now, would also be tired.
Just a moment.
General Hou's spirits lifted. He was keenly aware that the final moment had arrived. With his own morale extremely low, he decisively gave the order:
"Our headquarters will push the flag forward!"
"Mr. Jian, it's your turn."
"Order to take off."
The general platform moved forward, and the morale of the Northern Wei army was greatly boosted.
call out!
A firework rose into the sky and exploded.
On the streets of Dongyang City, the original defender of the north wall led less than two hundred soldiers to charge towards the city wall. His biological father was a refugee from Wuyang County, but when the refugees gathered, King Yong did not show mercy to them, but instead used them to attack the Northern Wei army.
"The hatred of kinslaying is irreconcilable!"
"Today the city is broken, and we will be rich and prosperous!"
The guard at the north wall had a face full of hatred. He endured it for many days and contacted people from all levels before he cooperated with the Northern Wei spies to gather these people.
On another street, nearly three hundred martial artists also rushed out.
Long before the Northern Wei army attacked Dengfeng City, these gangsters had been hiding there for more than half a year, keeping their whereabouts secret. The only time they were almost exposed was on the day of the big change in the palace, when the curfew patrol soldiers walked past the inn where they were hiding, only because their superiors asked them to investigate the situation inside the palace.
At this moment, nearly five hundred people attacked the city gate.
Just like the most crucial arrow, it is about to decide the outcome.
But just when the rebels were about to reach the city gate, a simple and honest man like an iron tower rushed out of the arrow tower. Lao Hei led a full thousand Yongwang Guards reserve troops, and under the protection of Asan, they rushed to kill the rebels.
The two groups immediately started fighting each other.
……
boom!
A straight kick shattered the personal guards and armor together.
Jiang He took a short breath and saw that more Northern Wei soldiers were attacking due to the pressure from the General Platform.
"Sword One, Heaven and Earth come together."
The middle-aged scholar's gentle voice sounded, and the general's personal soldiers retreated one after another, leaving the battlefield for the seventh candidate in the world.
As the words fell, a silver flying sword burst out from the sword box in Mr. Jian's palm, and the rich true energy was released, transforming into countless sword qi that poured out, and finally created a giant sword that was more than ten meters long between heaven and earth.
"cut!"
A huge silver sword fell from the sky like a god dropping a gate knife.
Mr. Jian looked at his opponent with regret. He was well aware of how powerful this Prince of Southern Liang was. He had such high cultivation at a young age, and it was almost certain that he would become a land immortal in the future. It was a pity that his success was short-lived.
Boom!
There was an inexplicable rumble of thunder.
Mr. Jian's pupils suddenly contracted, which was the mighty sound of his blood rushing wildly.
In just a moment, the power of time comes.
All the scars accumulated on Jiang He's body healed, and his energy and strength began to flow again like a spring. Under his extremely strong physique, his golden blood was boiling. Killing more than 7,000 people caused the silkworm patterns to grow again, and six pairs of dragon and elephant patterns appeared on his body.
——The final time ring.
The moment of returning to its heyday.
Jiang He clenched his five fingers into a fist and thrust it out with all his strength.
A golden rainbow made entirely of fist power and strength shot up into the sky and smashed the god's giant sword like a gate knife. The exploding fist power fell to the ground like arrows, killing hundreds of personal soldiers. The aftermath of the huge force of the six dragons and six elephants left pits on the ground.
"How can it be……"
Mr. Jian's expression changed slightly.
After killing more than 7,000 soldiers, they were still able to fight again. This result was beyond expectations.
"Sword Two, Snake Yue Wufeng."
"Sword Three, Bright Moon Buries Flowers."
Two flying swords were handed out, one flew into the air, and the other flew into the ground.
In an instant, the top of the city was like a blooming moonlight, and petals of sword energy fell, the ground squirmed, and three thousand sword snakes suddenly gathered towards the enemy and strangled them.
The two swords become one, sealing the sky and locking the earth.
Jiang He stepped forward, and the sword snakes on the ground were all shattered by the huge force. Sword flowers fell on him, making clanging sounds like striking iron.
The God Hunter was activated, and the dense solar soldier evil around him was torn apart, forcing him to reach the speed of a normal sub-hero.
Boom!
Jiang He threw a punch, and six dragon-shaped forces circled between his arms. The vacuum was impacted, and a loud sound like a dragon's roar was heard.
Mr. Jian suddenly felt his scalp tingling. He held two flying swords in front of him and combined them for defense.
"Six or seven swords, golden spears and iron horses."
The sword energy surged, and a door with a dense military formation carved on it rose from the ground. One could vaguely see the lifelike appearance of the golden weapons and iron cavalry in the military formation.
Click!
The sword energy gate collapsed.
The heavy punch hit the enemy's chest, and even though he had lost 70% of his strength, he was still no match for the opponent.
Mr. Jian retreated a hundred feet, his legs leaving grooves in the ground. His chest had collapsed and his internal organs were full of cracks.
There was no chance to launch another sword attack, as the enemy was extremely powerful.
"Sword Nine... Landscape Inkstone."
Mr. Jian's face was pale, and a few drops of extremely rare blood oozed from his fingertips. Among the nine sword boxes and flying swords, the only flying sword that was fused with his innate secret technique, the Shanshui Inkstone, burst out.
call!
A thick fog rose, and the small space in the inkstone concealed mountains, rivers, and the world. Mountains and rivers surrounded the enemy and us, and the whole body was made of pure sword energy. The ubiquitous sword light was like countless fine needles, piercing Jiang He's body with holes and bleeding profusely.
"A couple of times."
"But it seems that there are only two tricks."
The heaven and earth-related abilities enveloped the surroundings, meaning that they were isolated from outside observation.
Mr. Jian looked at the enemy who suddenly grasped a silver spear. He was filled with incomprehensible and unrivaled ferocious aura, like a group of volcanoes erupting wantonly to destroy the world. The unprecedentedly strong murderous intent almost dyed the mountains, rivers, the world and the earth bright red.
"The gap... is too big."
Mr. Jian had a slightly dull expression. It was not just the gap between him and King Yong. King Yong himself had a huge difference in strength before and after holding the gun.
boom!
As Jiang He thrust forward, the mountains, rivers, world and heaven immediately began to collapse.
"Sword Six Seven: Golden Swords and Iron Horses"
The triple sword energy gate rose from the ground, and in the world created by the natal flying sword, the defensive effect had a qualitative leap.
Boom boom boom!
In just a moment, the door shattered.
Jiang He rushed forward without any tricks. The violent impact released by the huge force plus the weight of the Changhen Dragon Spear itself was enough to break through all defenses, pierce through Mr. Jian's chest, and with an 80% total damage immunity, completely destroyed his life.
boom!
Mr. Jian was killed by the Dragon Soul and his body exploded, but before he died, his head revealed a strange smile.
Jiang He took the opportunity to absorb the essence of the enemy's blood and strengthen his own energy properties, the sinful poison.
But in the next moment, the eight epic flying swords all merged into the "Landscape Inkstone", transformed into long swords and pierced his heart from behind. The last sword, life in exchange for life.
Unfortunately, the lethality of someone's vital points has long since dropped to a level that can be ignored.
Jiang He drew out his heroic sword, which could hurt his immortal body, so its quality was naturally extraordinary. Changhen Dragon Spear immediately had a full meal.
[Tip: Your special weapon effect Death Mist is upgraded to Mist World]
[Hint: Your special weapon is heavier than a medium-sized aircraft carrier. It is so heavy that it can lift heavy objects with ease.]
[Hint: Your Immortal-level Sin Poison has been upgraded to LV20]
The silver spear returns to the gluttonous paradise, the imperial city of heaven.
When the thick fog dissipated, Jiang He stepped onto the battlefield again, holding Mr. Jian's head in his hand.
Five miles away, on the general platform, General Hou's pupils constricted.
boom!
The Dongyang city gate actually opened automatically.
Three thousand Skeleton Dragon Riders, ready for battle, lined up and charged.
At this moment, the Tiange Army and the Chile Army still have at least 70,000 troops, and they have an absolute advantage in terms of manpower, but the biggest problem is that the enemy's main general is too far forward.
Jiang He simply stopped holding back and consumed all of the 80,000 energy points in his body. He then sent out two long lines that tore through space, directly cutting the 4,000 elite troops in the densest area outside the city in half.
The silkworm pattern reappears, the power of seven dragons and seven elephants.
The siege has lasted until the last string is broken.
As a result, the front end of the Tiange army collapsed.
Jiang He summoned a gray warhorse, joined the dragon cavalry and began to charge. More and more people were fleeing in front of him, and the defeat was spreading rapidly like a plague.
"General, please retreat quickly."
Duke Chi Le pushed General Hou forcefully and said sternly, "This is just a temporary defeat, it's nothing to worry about. At least the Wei Dynasty has taken Dengfeng City and opened a gateway to the south."
General Hou said in a low voice, "We haven't lost completely yet. As long as we call back our soldiers, I am confident that we can stop the defeat. This is not an empty statement."
He was extremely unwilling to give up at this moment. It was obvious that King Yong was no longer able to fight and victory was at hand. Otherwise, he would not have led the army forward to fight for the last bit of morale.
"But you can't stop him from rushing over and killing you directly." The Chi-Le Duke said resolutely: "I will come to cover the retreat. I only ask the general to treat the Chi-Le soldiers well and defend Dengfeng City. The other side probably won't kill me for my father's sake. Soldiers, money and food are worth redeeming something."
The two of them came to a decision in a moment. Now was not the time to hesitate.
Whoosh!
A heavy arrow shot down the large banner.
General Hou looked deeply at Duke Chi-Le, then turned around, rode his horse and led his troops to retreat.
Looking down from the sky, dense black spots were running around on the ground. An elite cavalry repeatedly attacked the front line, and the Northern Wei army was in a rout. However, because of the persistence of the 10,000 Chile headquarters, the retreat of the direct troops could barely be discerned.
……
Early September, the 20th year of the Yongli reign.
The Northern Wei Dynasty mobilized an army of 100,000 and marched south, claiming to have 300,000 troops.
Due to the surrender of the general of Dengfeng, the front-line city of Dengfeng fell.
One day later, the three counties of Wuyang were massacred, and the Northern Wei army attacked Dongyang City, the core of Qingzhou. During the period, the two forces merged and fought for several days, but were finally defeated.
During the two general sieges, the Northern Wei lost a total of more than 30,000 people and was defeated on the 11th. The Skeleton Dragon Cavalry Army marched for 30 miles, captured and killed 40,000 people, won the battle to defend Dongyang, and captured the eldest son of the Northern Wei army leader Wuhuan.
Hou Yanshan, the great general of the Northern Wei Dynasty, led 30,000 remaining soldiers to retreat to Dengfeng City.
On the afternoon of the 12th, at Prince Yong’s Mansion in Dongyang City.
Jiang He stayed at the Sheji Altar for two full hours.
There are currently 50,000 corpses available for processing. Some materials that have been trampled into mud naturally cannot make up the number, and eventually 10,000 ordinary evil soldiers are trained.
The good news is that there are a lot of valuable high-level materials in the Jianghu Camp, the Personal Guard Camp, and the Chongshan Zhongyue Guard of the Northern Wei Dynasty, which have replenished the Skeleton Dragon Cavalry and increased the total number to 5,000, greatly increasing its strength.
"Yong Wangwei, fight to the death."
The reserve troops led by Lao Hei had to plug the gap after resolving the civil strife. General Hou's method of cultivating talents was very impressive. Seeing that defeat was inevitable, the leader of his personal soldiers was actually ready to lead his men into the city to hunt down Pei Yuquan and others and force the Dragon Cavalry Army to return for support.
Fortunately, the defenders from other city walls arrived.
"There are only 1,200 Dongyang Guards left."
Jiang He pondered. Dongyang Guard was not his unit, and defending the city was the guard's duty. He didn't really care.
"Three thousand men from the Destroying Front Camp will be transferred to rebuild the Yongwang Guard."
"Ten thousand evil soldiers, forming a vanguard-destroying army."
"Five thousand Skeleton Dragon Cavalry, the palace can barely accommodate them."
By the time the military mobilization was over, night had fallen.
A celebration banquet is being held in Chengyun Hall of the palace.
There were thousands of people at the banquet and the scene was extremely lively. Jiang He was born a fisherman and was not very interested in royal family etiquette. He casually invited the remaining soldiers of Dongyang Guard to the banquet so that he could finalize the issue of military pay and pensions with Pei.
"Your Majesty, this is a court document."
At the front of the banquet, the table is not very big.
Pei Amateur handed over some documents with a smile on his face.
"Jiang Asan, promoted to the second rank Dengfeng general."
"Gui Man was promoted to the commander of the newly built Wuyang Guard, a third-rank official."
"Jiang Ada, promoted to Commander of Dongyang Guard, third rank."
"Pei Yuwu, Qingzhou Governor, second rank."
"Jiang Danglu was conferred the title of Earl of Weining."
"Jiang Er, titled Earl of Renyuan."
There was a series of job transfers. Because Pei Ge Lao was the Minister of War, as long as the military achievements were real, specific promotions could be made.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty." Pei Yuwu bowed gently and said, "You have both the name and the position. With the power and position, the imperial canal transportation will support the military pay. As long as Your Majesty is sure that his subordinates are reliable, he can influence 50,000 people."
With a population of 50,000, he is a powerful vassal king.
"The prerequisite is to take back Dengfeng City." Jiang He put down the document.
Any general of the Southern Liang army who failed to arrive after receiving the imperial edict would be executed if he took more than three months to complete the journey.
Pei Yu nodded and said, "In the court, there is not much criticism about the prince's greed for military power. The eldest prince and Xie even pushed for it when it came to conferring rewards. They hope that the prince will die under the city of Dengfeng."
"The 30,000 people in Xindengfeng Town will be filled by the Five Guards of Qingzhou. These Five Guards will recruit reserve soldiers and young and strong people locally to complete the reconstruction."
"Your Highness only has three months to take over Dengfeng City."
Jiang He did not comment. Now A Da was the commander of Dongyang Guard, so he could lead the Crushing Front Army and guard Dongyang City and the palace with Lao Hei. As for the fact that 10,000 evil soldiers were a bit excessive, it did not matter because the evil soldiers did not need to eat.
The original officers and soldiers of Dongyang Guard were naturally promoted to other guards in Qingzhou, which also expanded the influence of the royal palace.
The most urgent task now is to solve the problem of Asan guarding Dengfeng.
"After taking Dengfeng, I want the position of Gaomi's general." Jiang He said.
Pei Yuxian narrowed his eyes. Gaomi City was the gateway from Qingzhou to the heartland of Southern Liang. Theoretically, as long as he controlled Dengfeng, Dongyang and Gaomi, he would be the master of Qingzhou.
"If you can win, you can do it." Pei Yuwu pondered for a while and agreed, "But Your Majesty, please don't neglect my daughter Xuanran."
Jiang He said frankly, "I can't get pregnant."
"Your Highness, you can come a hundred times. We'll talk about success or failure later. I will never regret it." Pei Yufen snorted twice, left a letter and said goodbye. He believed in the physical endurance of the second candidate in the world.
The second candidate in the world.
Prince Yong of Southern Liang.
Martial arts review: His realm is unknown, his master is unknown, his secret technique is unknown. Outside the city of Dongyang, he killed 11,800 armored men in succession, and also killed the seventh sword master in the world in battle. His appearance is elegant and handsome, as if he is standing by the abyss, and his face is as charming as jade. He is unique in the world.
Overall comment: Because you are not a woman, you cannot be the best at rouge.
