Chapter 66: The Liao Emperor
As soon as these words were spoken, the face of the Song army guarding Yanmen Pass immediately changed drastically, and they turned to look at the many heroes on the city wall.
They didn't know Xiao Feng, they only knew that the Liao Emperor should be talking about one of them.
"hehe!"
Xiong Qi laughed at first, but did not explain to Song Jun, but shouted loudly at the city:
"The person who came below is the Emperor Yelu Hongji of Liao? You can stop trying to sow discord. Why do you want to invade our Song Dynasty with your army?"
Of course, Xiao Feng knew that Yelu Hongji's words were a counter-espionage plan. Seeing Xiong Qi ignores it, he couldn't help but feel warm, but when he saw the Liao army below looking at him with hatred eyes, he felt a little sad.
Xiao Feng stepped forward and came to the city wall building. He looked at Yelu Hongji below and was about to speak, but unexpectedly Xiong Qi raised his hand and stopped him.
After being stopped by him, Xiao Feng couldn't continue to say anything.
It is very troublesome to investigate Xiao Feng’s affairs. Xiong Qi doesn’t want to waste time at this moment.
Yelu Hongji, who was under the city, looked at Xiong Qi, then looked at Xiao Feng beside him, and anger surged in his eyes. He raised the whip in his hand and shouted:
"Who are you? You dare to speak here. After breaking the city, I will tear you to pieces!"
"Zhao Qi, King Shen of the Great Song Dynasty, is here, Yelu Hongji, you dare to openly violate the peace agreement between the Song and Liao dynasties and lead the army to invade our Great Song Dynasty. This is a traitor and a deceased act, and you know?"
Xiong Qi revealed his identity on the spot and retorted.
"King Shen Zhao Qi?"
Yelu Hongji whispered a few words. Xiong Qi has always been low-key. Not many people in the Song Dynasty knew him, and he had never heard of him who lived far away in the grassland.
“Bold!”
Yelu Hongji shouted loudly:
"The Song people were rude and stole my cattle and sheep from the Great Liao Dynasty many times, but they dared to speak wildly. The three armies obeyed the orders and took Yanmen Pass for me!"
After making an excuse, Yelu Hongji ordered the Liao army to attack the city.
Now, there is no point in the fight between verbals. Yelu Hongji came with hundreds of thousands of cavalry, not arguing with the Song people, and even chasing Xiao Feng was just a by-pass. His real purpose was to go south to attack the Song Dynasty.
With Yelu Hongji's order, the drums and horns suddenly rose up and shouts continued. Among the hundreds of thousands of Liao troops, 10,000 people quickly dismounted, holding sharp blades and rushed towards Yanmen Pass.
Without Xiong Qi's command, the guards of Yanmen Pass immediately launched thousands of arrows and poured down towards the Liao army that was sieging the city.
As a border guard, how to defend the city is naturally well-trained and has rich experience in leading troops to command the generals. He did not need Xiong Zhidao order, so he automatically reacted.
Yelu Hongji had retreated to the rear of the army at this time and watched the Liao army start to attack the city.
Thousands of heroes were holding weapons and looking for positions to help the Song army defend the city. Only Xiong Qi was still standing high on the top of the city, holding the "Tai'a" sword in his hand and looking coldly below.
This time the Liao army went south, and the Song Dynasty did not receive any news. In a hurry, the number of defenders at Yanmen Pass was only 10,000, and it was not easy to defend against the Liao army of at least 300,000.
Although the Song army had city walls and terrain to rely on, the number of people on both sides was too different. If there were no reinforcements, it would be difficult to defend.
Standing at the top of the city, his eyes crossed the Liao soldiers who were sieging the city, Xiong Qi stared at Yelu Hongji in the distance.
‘It takes seven inches to hit a snake’
The Liao army was coming in full force, but in fact, it might not be very sufficient to prepare. The internal power struggle was quite fierce. There was a rebellion a few years ago. If it weren't for Xiao Feng's help, Yelu Hongji would have been killed that time.
Therefore, if Yelu Hongji could be killed, the Liao army would inevitably retreat without a leader, and would not be able to move south again within a few years.
Below are hundreds of thousands of Liao troops, and Yelu Hongji is protected by a veritable army. In this case, can he be killed?
Xiong Qi plans to try it.
‘Swoosh’
After calling several Song generals to give instructions, Xiong Qi was surrounded by a thick layer of innate internal energy. He held the "Tai'a" sword and spread his hands, rushing down the city tower like a big bird.
"Your Highness!"
"His Royal Highness King Shen!"
The Song generals were shocked, and at the same time, they also attracted the exclamation of thousands of heroes who had witnessed them with their own eyes.
Xiong Qi ignored these people. The city wall was about seven or eight feet high. As soon as he landed, he encountered countless Liao soldiers. After a few swords, a large area fell down around him immediately.
Xiong Qi was not in love with the battle. The strong Beiming true energy in his body was working with all his strength. His white robe was bulging high, and his whole body jumped up like a bird and landed on the head of a Liao soldier.
‘Swoosh swish swish’
He lightly pointed his toes and stepped on the head of the Liao soldiers. Xiong Qi was like a big flying bird, rushing towards the Liao army's central army, jumping five or six feet at a time, and in an instant he advanced dozens of feet away.
When Yelu Hongji saw Xiong Qi's power, he immediately thought of the scene when Xiao Feng captured his political enemy among thousands of troops. He knew that the target of the Song Dynasty King Shen was him, so he immediately ordered the archers to shoot arrows at him.
‘Ding Ding Dangdang’
There was rain of arrows all over the sky, and countless arrows fell on Xiong Qi's body, all of which were bounced away by his protective air, but at the same time, the internal force was also rapidly decreasing.
There are many archers in the Liao army with amazing arm strength, with many arrows, which are not inferior to the full force of the martial arts masters. To withstand such an attack, you can imagine the consumption of internal strength...
The innate master's return speed is extremely fast. As a top innate master, Xiong Qi's return speed is naturally faster, but he cannot keep up with such severe consumption.
But it doesn't matter. Yelu Hongji wants to lead the way, so he is not far from the front line, and is only a little more than one mile away from Yanmen Pass.
Although Xiong Qi was in mid-air and was baptized by countless rains of arrows, he was not blocked by the crowd and his progress was incredibly fast. He only arrived in one mile and not long after.
"Kill him, kill him!"
Seeing Xiong Qi stepping on the head of the Liao soldiers, rushing like a wind, Yelu Hongji was frightened and shouted loudly:
"Those who kill this person will be rewarded with ten thousand taels of gold and three thousand beauties!"
After hearing this, Liao generals who thought they were extremely brave and powerful, they rushed over with their soldiers and horses.
There was a constant sound of ‘click’.
Xiong Qi did not use the Six-Meridian Divine Sword to kill the enemy with the sword energy, which would consume too much internal strength, but just the "Tai'a" sword, supplemented with innate internal energy, would be invincible.
When these Liao generals encountered the "Tai'a" sword, they would break one after another. If Xiong Qi's target was not them, they could have killed them all.
The sharp "Tai'a" sword was at the head, neither the soldiers in the hands of the Liao army nor the armor on their bodies could be stopped. Many Liao generals were even cut into two pieces by Xiong Qi and his men and horses, and blood rain flew everywhere.
Xiong Qi rushed all the way, and except for the intensification of internal force consumption, he encountered almost no strong obstacles.
'brush'
Xiong Qi's figure flashed several times in a row, crossing several Liao generals, jumping onto Yelu Hongji's horse's head, and without even looking, he just slashed it with one sword.
‘Dong’
The head fell to the ground.
‘Swoosh’
The figure swayed, and Xiong Qi rushed to the flag representing the Liao Emperor, cut it off with a sword, then jumped onto a horse's head, stood high, used his power to his chest, shouted loudly:
"The Liao Emperor Yelu Hongji is dead, and the Liao army will not surrender yet, so when will it last!"
The pure innate Beiming true qi of more than a hundred years passed this sentence from afar, and everyone in the Liao army within a dozen miles could clearly hear it.
The Liao army that was attacking Yanmen Pass and the Song army on the city wall could also be heard clearly.
