Qingling Punishing Heart

Chapter 438
There was a lot of people in the Haojing palace, and all the officials were as anxious as ants on a frying pan, flocking to the emperor's court to discuss matters.

Ji Gongyan ordered people to light the beacon fire and ordered the princes to send troops to support.

A streak of black wolf smoke drifted toward the horizon.Witnessing the signal of the invasion of foreign enemies, the people in the city were immersed in an atmosphere of panic.

Hundreds of miles away, the sentinel who first spotted the wolf smoke lit the beacon fire, and then the sentries at the neighboring pass saw the wolf smoke, and lit the beacon fire one after another.The news of Haojing's emergency spread quickly throughout the land of Kyushu.It stands to reason that all the vassal states should send troops to rescue them as soon as they see the wolf smoke, but even the nearest vassal state has not moved for a long time.

Most of the princes were unwilling to come to King Qin, and all stood still.Some knew that the soldiers were coming, but they refused to save them; some thought that Zhou Tianzi was just having fun, and lighted the beacon fire at random for fun; some didn't know what happened to Haojing, but they didn't care.

A small number of princes are willing to send troops to reinforce, but it will take some time to reach Haojing.Feeling that there was no hope of reinforcements arriving before the city was broken, Ji Gongyan ordered someone to count the soldiers and horses, and found that there were only [-] remnants and defeated generals left, and more than [-] battle-damaged leading chariots.

When Ji Gongyan was in a state of desperation, the emperor walked out of the hall with six people, namely Ayinago, Xie Ding, Ye Tuo Ni, Rahu, Xu Pulou, and the Master of the Law among the top ten in the West.

Xie Ding took a step forward and said: "I have been ordered by my teacher to come here to help Emperor Zhou fight against the rebels."

"It's just in time for you masters to come!"

Ji Gongxuan was overjoyed when he suddenly heard an urgent report from the messenger: "It's urgent before the battle, the rebel army came to the city with lightning overnight!"

Li Hongxi was ordered to go to check, only to see that the outside of the city was surrounded by soldiers.

A stone's throw away from the moat, Jiang Ling looked up at the city gate of Haojing, which he had defended, with mixed feelings in his heart, and said sadly, "I want to break open the city gate myself."

Ji Chengshi hurriedly said: "The lord can't take personal risks. Siege of the city is no small matter, and the dangers inside the city are unpredictable. Everyone listen to my orders. The four cave masters, Yueyao Cave Master, Huo Yao Cave Master, Jin Yao Cave Master, and Riyao Cave Master, stay here. Leader Jiang Ling is escorting him."

Presumably, there must be experts from the Western religion in the city of Haojing to help out. Master Ji Cheng selected eight monks at the elder level of Xuanzong to fight against the monks under the command of the Zhou family.

The eight monks named by Xuanzong took orders one after another.

Ji Chengshi glanced at the soldiers and generals who were staring at him, and suddenly pointed at the gate of the city, and asked loudly, "There is a dragon's pool and a tiger's lair ahead, who has the guts to take the lead?"

The generals of the Rong tribe were eager to take the lead, each of them wanted to take the lead in breaking through the city gate, and to get the first-class meritorious service in this battle, they all scrambled to come out and ask for orders.

"The end will be willing to go!"

A deafening cry immediately overwhelmed everyone's voices.

Everyone turned their heads in unison to look around, and saw eight burly-backed soldiers working together to lift two heavy tiger-headed hammers to Yiqu's horses.

The moment Yiqu lifted the double hammers, his bulging muscles trembled slightly, exuding an awe-inspiring murderous aura.The rest of the generals of the Rong tribe looked at each other, feeling ashamed of themselves, and stopped talking.

Seeing that all the soldiers had no objections, Ji Chengshi nodded.

As dawn breaks, the dawn light illuminates faces yearning for blood and carnage.Pairs of eyes that were exhausted from fighting all night were bloodshot, and their eyes were full of hatred. This city must be taken down, the dead children must be avenged, and the inhuman Zhou Tianzi must pay the price.

Yiqu raised the tiger-headed hammer and pointed forward, and let out an earth-shattering battle cry, which immediately frightened a timid guard in the city to death.

On the tower of Haojing City, Ayinago, Xie Ding, Ye Tuo Ni, Rahu, Subu Bolou, Master of the Law, and the six Western leaders laid out their formations, and they seemed to have been waiting for a long time.

Li Hongxi stood on the city with a painting halberd in his hand, slowly raised his head, and saw eight monks rushing towards him from objects in the sky.

The eight Xuanzong monks selected by Ji Chengshi just now are Huarulang, Niuzhu, Li Rumei, Baipao, Taoist Huangmei, Yemozi, Yunyi, and Jingyang.Although Xuanzong had eight enemies against six, it is still unclear who will win the battle in terms of strength.Jiang Ling is full of confidence, after all, the four cave masters around him will go to help out at any time according to the situation.

The monks from the two camps confronted each other in the air, and neither of them took the lead.

Even though the city was full of dangers and the sound of slaughter was loud, Li Hongxi, who was guarding the city, remained calm and waved his hands gently.The archers on the city tower heard the wind and moved, drawing arrows and bows, ready to go.

"put!"

With an order, arrows rained down from the sky.After several times of arrow rain, hundreds of soldiers' corpses were added to the city.

Seeing that Li Hongxi was defending the city with all his strength, Yiqu ordered several warriors to risk their lives to set up a ladder and climb up the high city wall for fear of low morale.Although Yiqu was tall and big, his movements were extremely agile, like a tiger going up a mountain, he darted to the middle of the ladder in a few steps.

Seeing that Yiqu, as the chief general, was in danger alone, Li Hongxi felt quite worried, so he raised his hand slightly, and twenty archers put up their bows and shot at Yiqu together.

Yiqu clamped the ladder with both feet, and swung his hammers to block the arrows that were aimed at his vitals. The missed arrows hit his bare tiger's back, and were miraculously bounced off!

Li Hongxi could see clearly from the city, presumably the Jiejiao method Yiqu practiced would make him invulnerable.

Yiqu continued to climb up, and when he was about to climb up the tower, a sharp iron halberd struck head-on.Yiqu hurriedly dodged sideways, half an inch of skin on the ear was peeled off, and blood flowed down the ear to his chin.

Click!

The ladder on which Yiqu was standing was broken.He stepped on the broken ladder, swung the hammer upwards, and with the strength of the hammer, jumped up onto the tower.

Li Hongxi put away the painting halberd, the tail of the halberd fell heavily, and several cracks were poked on the brick floor.

Yiqu also realized that Li Hongxi's pure yang energy was fierce and domineering. If he was hit by the blow just now, his ears would be cut off at least, and his head would be split in half at worst.

"Baldhead! Even if you have the ability to sweep away thousands of armies, today you have to watch those mortals break through the city!"

"There is no need to harm the fish in the pond among the masters. You have your life to come up, but I am afraid you will die."

"Take your life first!" Yiqu raised his hammers and rushed towards Li Hongxi angrily.

The soldiers below the city heard Yiqu's roar and were also infected by that brave momentum. When the two generals were fighting on the city, they launched an even more violent offensive.Ladders were erected one after another throughout the city wall of Haojing, and soldiers rushed up like a tide.

When the siege of the city was in full swing, Li Hongxi suddenly disappeared.

Yiqu rubbed his eyes, and a woman in green shirt suddenly appeared in front of him, sitting quietly on the tower.The wind was blowing her hair, silently watching the soldiers fighting around her, her abrupt existence seemed unreal.

Yiqu slowed down his pace, as if thinking of something, he stopped struggling and walked towards her slowly.With a loud bang, the tiger-head hammer held tightly in both hands fell to the ground.

At this time, the archers on the city shot out all their arrows, and one by one they were chopped down by the soldiers who killed the city.Zhou Bing, who was guarding the city, knocked off the stone bricks on the ground and smashed them down the city with all his might.

Li Hongxi didn't have Yiqu blocking the way, so he took the opportunity to personally lead dozens of soldiers to the inner side of the city gate.

tom!tom!
Hearing loud noises from the city gate, Li Hongxi knew that it was the sound of soldiers hitting the city gate with giant logs. The matter of breaking the gate was a foregone conclusion. Once the city gate collapsed, the soldiers who stood on top of the gate would be smashed To die under the city gate, the morale of the army must be lost at that moment.In order to reduce casualties, Li Hongxi ordered the soldiers to retreat slowly, and at the same time set up a shield formation in the rear, preparing to use the formation to resist the attack.

The city gate of Haojing was devastated and began to loosen gradually. With a loud noise, a huge log broke through the gate.The soldiers rushing into the city were not stopped by anything, but when they saw a more solid city wall built with shields in front of them, before they could recover, long spears flew out from the gaps in the shields on both sides, stabbing The soldiers who swarmed in died.

"open!"

With Li Hongxi's order, the shield formation turned into a killing formation.

Immediately afterwards, a large number of shielded cavalry rushed out of the city gate. After a fight, the soldiers suffered heavy casualties, and the gate of Haojing was heavily closed.

Jiang Ling under the city had a serious expression on his face. He saw Li Hongxi leading the troops to fight, but he couldn't see Yiqu. He began to feel an ominous premonition, and said anxiously:

"Third, why don't you come to help out?"

Tai Yin looked up at the monks who were still quietly confronting each other above the city tower, and said, "I don't see Jia Lan, Ashariputra, and Yang Ni among the top ten leaders in the west. I'm afraid that Nephew Ji is temporarily entangled by them. We will come here after he escapes." Before that, I can only ask for blessings.”
