The soldiers on the city tower also discovered something strange at the city gate, and immediately summoned the surrounding soldiers to begin besieging Chen An and his subordinate soldiers at the city gate.
However, most of the soldiers were resting in nearby vacant residences and could not organize a defense immediately. They had to come down from the horse road to the city.
But it was too late, the city gate was already firmly occupied by Chen An's close soldiers.
At the same time, the door latch had also been put down by the soldiers, and they took out the giant ax that had been prepared and swung it continuously to cut off the iron chain on the suspension bridge.
The Mohe cavalry outside the door had seen the suspension bridge being lowered from a distance, and they were even more excited. The city was about to be broken. Jinyang City, which had trapped them for a long time, was finally about to be broken.
Under the command of Chen An, more than ten of his close soldiers guarded the direction of the city gate, resisting the attack of the rest of the Zhou army, allowing Xiang Shoucheng to regain control of the city gate in a short time.
Difficult to achieve within.
Although Xiang Shoucheng's martial arts skills were superior to Chen An's, he was after all a young master of the Prince's House who had never been on the battlefield, and his combat experience was completely incomparable to Chen An's.
After losing the initiative, they were beaten back by Chen An.
While Chen An was drawing his sword, he also used words to disturb Xiang Shoucheng's mind: "Nephew Xiang Xian, why are you working for the Zhou Dynasty, which is declining and in danger! Your Xiang family was originally the Pengcheng uncle of Zhou Dynasty.
This title was won by your grandfather on the battlefield with swords and spears, and it was not stolen. As a result, the foolish emperor took away the title of your Xiang family because of a trivial matter related to water transportation. How ignorant he was.
, you have gone through many twists and turns to become a military cavalry officer from the seventh rank, and you are still a casual official with no real power! How about working with me, I will guarantee you prosperity and wealth for the rest of your life, rein in your horse and become a marquis, how about it?!
"
"Ha," Xiang Shoucheng couldn't help but sneer, and the sword in his hand became faster, "I don't know what kind of great wealth the Mohe people promised you, so that you can betray the Zhou Dynasty!"
Chen An seemed not to be able to hear the sarcasm in Xiang Shoucheng's words: "Ten thousand taels of gold, fifty thousand taels of silver! Three hundred hectares of fertile land, and a fourth-rank general, plus a Jinxian county son who has not been easy for three generations.
!How about it!? The price is not low! But with the martial arts talents of Xiang Xianxi you and your father, if you are willing to surrender to Prince Shunqing, the price will definitely be higher than mine!"
Xiang Shoucheng didn't answer any more, he just unfolded the swordsmanship in his hand, one move after another.
Although the Xiang family was defeated in water transport and party struggles, they could still distinguish between right and wrong.
If you agree to Chen An's conditions today, how will you face the ancestors of the Xiang family in the future?
While there was a stalemate at the city gate, there was also slight chaos on top of the city tower.
"A large number of cavalry are approaching! Be alert!"
"Woo..." The low horn sounds also sounded one after another.
"Archers prepare!"
"Crossbowman ready!"
"Rocket! Release!"
Countless rockets were shot towards the front of the city wall.
The rocket is not only more lethal, but can also illuminate the front with its fire.
When Xiang Shoucheng saw the Mohe army approaching, he became more and more anxious. The swordsmanship in his hand became chaotic and revealed flaws.
Chen An, who has been in the military for many years, would not miss such a good opportunity. He waved his sword and forced Xiang Shoucheng to return to the defense. Then he struck back with his hand and shot a short arrow from Chen An's wrist guard.
Without checking, Xiang Shoucheng was hit in the chest by Chen An's arrow.
Just when Chen An was about to deal with Xiang Shoucheng, a square-shaped halberd flew from a distance, forcing Chen An to put away his sword and defend.
Despite this, Chen An was still knocked back five steps by this blow.
Xiang Shoucheng, who fell to the ground after being shot by an arrow, saw Fang Tian's painted halberd and his face lit up with joy, "Dad!"
In the darkness, you couldn't see Chen An's face clearly, but you could tell from his tone that he was not in a good mood at the moment.
"Xiang Ming!?"
Fang Tian's painted halberd flew back and fell into Xiang Shoucheng's hand.
"I am Xiang Ming, the commander-in-chief of the Longwu Army of the Great Zhou Dynasty. The rebels in front will be captured soon. If they resist stubbornly, they will be killed without mercy."
After Xiang Ming killed the two soldiers who intercepted him, he immediately flew towards Chen An.
The rebels under Chen An also knew that it was a matter of life and death. If Xiang Ming were to capture Chen An and close the city gate, they would have no way to survive.
At worst, it could be beheading to show the public, but at worst, the three tribes could be exterminated.
The rebels picked up the spears dropped by the killed city gate soldiers and stepped forward to stop Xiang Ming.
The rebels in charge of the city gate were also trying desperately to open the city gate. At this moment, the bolt was down, and all that was left was to use brute force to open the gate.
The Zhou army was constantly gathering, and they could only struggle to open the gate and create conditions for the Mohe army to enter the city.
Xiang Ming and Xiang Shoucheng, father and son, join forces to fight against the enemy.
Xiang Ming's Fang Tian Hua Ji suppressed Chen An's Yan Ling Dao, but it only took a dozen moves to defeat Chen An, who was left paralyzed and could only parry.
Xiang Shoucheng's situation is not optimistic. He has just been hit by Chen An's arrow and palm, and he is already fighting with injuries. Moreover, he is holding a long sword, so the competition is okay, but the battle on the battlefield is somewhat disadvantageous. More than ten dozen
None of the rebels stepped forward to fight Xiang Ming head-on. They just used the length of their spears to limit Xiang Ming's advance. Faced with the blockade of dozens of spears, Xiang Shoucheng's sword skills were difficult to use, so he could only
Back step by step.
"Woo!!!"
The reinforcements arriving from Beijingmen also heard the sound of the trumpet.
"No! There is an enemy attack at Beijingmen! The cavalry will follow me first, and the infantry will come later!" After giving the order, the monk Xuan Cheng who led the team quickly accelerated towards Beijingmen.
The swiftness of a single step is better than the galloping of a horse.
The Nine Figures and Six Seated Figures body technique is one of the seventy-two unique skills of Shaolin.
There are fifty-four meditation postures for Shaolin disciples, each of which can sit quietly for twelve hours. The Nine Figures and Six Sitting Methods are derived from this. They are unpredictable and elusive. They seem to be sitting but not sitting, and they seem to be walking but not walking.
.
However, although the movement technique is wonderful, it is not as fast as catching a cicada in eight steps or crossing a river with a reed.
At this time, the battle situation at Beijingmen was also urgent. The Mohe cavalry vanguard was only about 400 steps away from the suspension bridge at Beijingmen, and the Mohe cavalry could arrive in a few dozen seconds.
In desperation, Xiang Ming's true energy exploded with all his strength.
That's right, it's true essence. Xiang Ming was originally a real Yuan Hua realm warrior.
However, Xiang Ming suffered too many traumas during the war when he was young. As a result, his energy and blood began to dry up at the age when he knew his destiny, and his strength seriously declined.
At this moment, Xiang Ming still showed the strength expected of an ordinary Yuan Hua realm master in a short period of time. With Fang Tian's halberd in hand, he killed seven rebels in a row, broke through the rebel blockade, and rushed towards the city gate.
When Chen An saw that Xiang Ming had broken through the defense and was trying to prevent his men from opening the city gate, he was about to step forward to stop him when he felt a sword coming from behind. The sword was fast and urgent, targeting the right chest, so Chen An could only
He rolled to the ground. Although his posture was a bit obscene, it was still very practical. He managed to avoid the vital part and was only scratched on his left arm by Xiang Ming's sword.
When Xiang Shoucheng, who was originally on one side, saw that Xiang Ming had broken through the defense, he immediately endured his injuries and stepped forward to entangle Chen An, preventing him from rushing to the city gate.
"Oh! There are still some ways. I was unprepared just now, now I want to see what you are capable of!" Seeing that Chen An had dodged his confident sword, the sword in Xiang Ming's hand became faster.
.Swish, swipe three swords sideways, leaving another wound on Chen An's body while he was anxious.
Xiang Shoucheng on the other side had already taken the opportunity to rush to the city gate, swept across with two halberds, and killed Chen An's soldiers who were opening the city gate.
But at this time, the suspension bridge has been lowered and the inner city gate has been opened wide.
The Mohe cavalry were only a stone's throw away from the suspension bridge.
"Fire arrows!" The Zhou soldiers on the tower kept raining down arrows, trying to stop the Mohe cavalry from charging.
However, there were only less than 3,000 men and horses on the Beijingmen city wall at this time. Although the rain of arrows killed and injured many Mohe cavalry, it was not enough to hinder the charge of the Mohe army.
Xiang Ming knew in his heart that it was too late to raise the suspension bridge, so he tightened his grip on the Fangtian Painted Halberd and rushed out of the suspension bridge, shouting: "Shou Cheng, I leave the city gate to you. Don't lose me, Xiang."
A disgrace!"
With a halberd in hand, he can stop thousands of armies alone.
I, Xiang Ming, have been a soldier for most of my life. Although I was convicted of water transportation, I am still the pioneer general of the Great Zhou Dynasty and the son of Pengcheng Bo Xiang Chong!
At this time, Xiang Ming was no longer at his peak, but the withered energy and blood in his body began to boil.
This is the secret method of his Xiang clan - breaking the cauldron and sinking the boat!
Ignite the energy and blood, and in a short period of time burst out with strength that far exceeds its own limit. In terms of mystery, it is still superior to the Demon Sect's method of disintegrating demons.
It can be used repeatedly, and the increase in strength is not inferior to the method of disintegrating the demon.
This was created by Xiang Bawang, the most powerful general in the world at that time.
The Battle of Julu and the Battle of Pengcheng relied on the method of breaking the cauldron and sinking the boat, making Xiang Bawang, who was originally invincible in the world, even more unbeatable. Guan Ying Fan Kuai, who was originally able to defeat King Xiang with thirty moves, suddenly became
defeat.
After King Xiang's death, this unique skill spread among the Xiang family.
Emperor Gaozu did not punish all the members of the Xiang clan. Instead, he granted Xiang Bo the title of Marquis of Sheyang. Marquis of Tao, Pinggao, and Xuanwu were all Xiang surnames, and they were given the surname Liu.
After the collapse of the Later Han Dynasty, the direct lineage of the Xiang family once again restored the Xiang family from the surname Liu.
Facing the charging Mohe cavalry, Xiang Ming tightened his grip on the Fangtian Painted Halberd in his palm and took the initiative to attack.
This was a fatal situation, and Xiang Ming could feel the fear in his heart. He was afraid that if he waited a little longer, he would throw down his halberd and run for his life.
"kill!"
Fang Tian's painted halberd swept out. A Mohe cavalryman rushing at the front was killed by Xiang Ming's halberd.
Then he turned it into a chop, and the blade of Fang Tian's painted halberd cut off the front legs of the horses of the two cavalrymen who came one after another. The two cavalrymen fell off their horses.
The moat of Beijingmen had not yet been filled in. Xiang Ming used his two halberds to hit the fallen cavalry, and then kicked them into the moat.
Before Xiang Ming could rest, the following Mohe cavalry arrived again.
Because of the narrow suspension bridge, although the Mohe cavalry was charging, they deliberately controlled the speed of their horses to prevent them from trampling themselves. This also created favorable conditions for Xiang Ming to block the enemy.
Fang Tian's painted halberd swept through thousands of troops in Xiang Ming's palm. His energy and blood were ignited by the secret method of breaking the cauldron and sinking the boat. The true energy boiled in the body and filled the whole body.
Let Xiang Ming's body be enveloped with rising fighting spirit.
With Xiang Ming's withered energy and blood, he forced himself to use the Burning Cauldron. This was destined to be his last battle!
"Ah!...Drink!"
With a war cry, Xiang Ming's body seemed to grow even larger.
Fang Tian painted his halberd, whirling and slashing, sweeping and vertically slashing. All the Mohe soldiers who were close to the suspension bridge were killed by his painted halberd.
Within a few dozen breaths, dozens of people and horses were already lying around Xiang Ming.
Just when Xiang Ming turned around and cut the oncoming men and horses in two with a halberd, a cooked copper stick was hammered towards Xiang Ming's chest.
This person is none other than General Mohe, who is hiding among the cavalry and is hunting alone.
He is one of the fierce generals under Nur Haqi. He is born with supernatural power. A wrought copper rod weighs a hundred kilograms and dances in his hand so well that water cannot splash into it.
Jianzhou's martial arts are famous for their brutality and brutality, and most of them are hard kung fu that emphasizes strength and speed.
Tu Dan Lieming used the power of his galloping horse to swing his stick at Xiang Ming.
In a hurry, Xiang Ming resisted with a painted halberd and a halberd pole. The huge force of the man and the horse sent him flying two feet away before he stopped his retreat.
Xiang Ming, who received such a heavy blow, seemed to have no abnormality, his face was rosy, and his body was boiling with fighting spirit.
"Well done! Look at the halberd!"
Xiang Ming's Fang Tian painted halberd was like a fiery red flame, majestic and powerful. At the last moment of his life, all the shackles and bottlenecks that had originally troubled Xiang Ming were broken away.
Fire dances across the sky, and halberds break through the sky.
With one stroke of the halberd, he knocked Shan Lieming off his horse, and then Fang Tian continued to attack with his painted halberd, colliding with the cooked copper rod, causing sparks to fly everywhere.
The crescent blade of the painted halberd left several wounds on Tu Dan Lieming's body, but Tu Dan Lieming became more and more stable.
At this moment, Xiang Ming is at the end of his strength. This sudden outburst is just a flashback. As long as he survives these attacks, Xiang Ming will die.
Sure enough, after ten moves, the strength of Xiang Ming's painted halberd was still greatly weakened, and the boiling true energy in his body began to decline.
"Zhou Gou, die!" Tu Dan Lieming immediately launched a counterattack.
The monkey splits the mountain with a single stick!
The huge force of this blow cannot be resisted by the dying Xiang Ming. Xiang Ming will be killed with one stick!
Just as the cooked copper stick was about to reach him, Xiang Ming suddenly struck back with a halberd, using up the last of his true energy and strength, he struck first and then the last.
By the time Tu Dan Lieming reacted, it was too late, and he could only watch helplessly as Fang Tian's painted halberd broke through the iron armor on his body and penetrated his chest.
When Fang Tian's halberd penetrated Tu Dan Lieming, the cooked copper rod also hit Xiang Ming's chest.
Xiang Ming had exhausted all his strength and true energy at this moment, and his body was nothing more than an empty shell. He was hit by Tu Dan Lieming's stick and was sent flying backwards, hitting the city gate.
Tu Dan Lieming was unwilling to be stabbed through the chest, but in the end his eyes dimmed and his life disappeared.
Xiang Ming laughed loudly when he saw the cooked copper stick in the enemy chief's hand falling to the ground.
"Hahaha……"
Suddenly the laughter stopped and life was lost.
At the last moment of his life, Xiang Ming still fought to the death of a powerful Mohe general and died with a smile on his face.
"Amitabha!"
When Xuan Cheng saw Xiang Ming whose laughter suddenly stopped, he knew that he was still a step too late.
After chanting the Buddha's name, Xuan Cheng walked to the suspension bridge with his Zen staff in hand.
After the death of the vanguard general, the Mohe cavalry was in chaos, but soon launched another attack on the suspension bridge.
Jinyang City, which had blocked them for many days and caused tens of thousands of casualties, was right in front of them. As long as they could attack the city, the Zhou army's strength would not be able to stop them.
"Amitabha Buddha! Buddha will go on a killing spree today!"
Seeing the Ye Xiong Cavalry rushing onto the suspension bridge, Xuan Cheng swept out the Demon-Subduing Zen Staff in his hand, knocking all the Mohe Cavalry rushing up to the ground, including their men and horses.
"If you're not dead, just come up and let your Buddha see if it's your head that's harder or the Buddha's Zen staff that's harder!"
Xuancheng is known as the Thirteen Unparalleled Monks. He practices the Shaolin Mountain-Suppressing Skill Yi Jin Jing internally, and the Vajra Indestructible Body, the Shaolin External Skills externally, plus the powerful and mysterious power of the Great Manjusri Staff.
With this geographical advantage and his own martial arts skills, he was able to block the incoming Mohe cavalry in a short period of time.
This suspension bridge is about three feet wide and can accommodate eight war horses walking side by side, but it is still too narrow for the large group of Mohe cavalry. It is like a funnel mouth and can usually only be passed through little by little.
Seeing the great monk blocking the suspension bridge, Mohe General Abuhatka behind him could no longer hold himself back.
Such a good opportunity was created by Wu Qianqiu, the rebel general of the Zhou army, using his personal connections. If he misses this opportunity, Yu Yanyi will definitely be on guard, and it will be almost impossible to use a traitor to cooperate inside and outside.
Originally, he was the leader of this army, so he shouldn't have gone into battle in person, and his martial arts skills were not as good as those of Tu Dan Lieming just now.
However, his vanguard officer Tracer was killed by Xiang Ming, so he had no choice but to go into battle himself.
When Abuhanteka saw Xuancheng blocking the suspension bridge, he drove his horse forward, and with the help of the running force of his horse, he swung an ax and struck Xuancheng who was defending against the enemy.
Perhaps due to the type of martial arts, Mohe's generals preferred heavy-duty power weapons such as axes, hammers, and clubs.
Abuhantka originally thought that his own strength combined with the sprinting power of the war horse would be enough to deal with Xuancheng, but he did not expect that this great monk had such power.
Xuan Cheng, who had just collected five Mohe cavalry, saw Abuhantka charging towards him on horseback. He did not dodge or dodge, but the water-milling magic wand in his hand went straight towards the big axe.
Abuhatka himself was known for his strength, and the weapon he used, the Xuanhua ax, weighed 150 kilograms. Coupled with the charging power of the war horse, the power was so great that ordinary people would find it difficult to withstand it.
However, the great monk Xuancheng has practiced both internally and externally. He has mastered the two Sutras of Changing Tendons and Cleansing the Marrow, as well as the indestructible Vajra Body. His level of physical training is no longer comparable to that of ordinary masters.
The magic wand of Fu, who hastily responded to the challenge, actually knocked away Abuhantka, who was charging with the help of his horse and charging up a blow.
Monk Xuan Cheng took four steps back, leaving four deep footprints on the ground, his face flushed.
Abuhatka was even more unbearable and was knocked off his horse. The force from the Xuanhua ax caused Abuhatka's jaw to crack.
The black Xuanhua ax in his hand started with a crack that extended to the entire body of the stick, and finally turned into broken iron pieces, scattered on the ground. The war horse under his crotch also withstood the force of the blow. After a mournful cry, the four hooves went limp.
, fell to the ground, blood pouring out of the horse's mouth.
After repelling an attack from the Mohe army, Xuan Cheng glanced at the city gate behind him.
The remains of Xiang Ming, who died for his country, have been protected by eight city defense soldiers holding shields and returned to the city.
But the city gate has not been closed, and the drawbridge has not been raised.
It turned out that the rebels just now saw that there was no hope of opening the city gate, and did not want the Zhou army to close the city gate easily, so they destroyed the winch that opened and closed the city gate. After Yu Yanyi's renovation and reinforcement, the Jinyang City Gate weighed more than 10,000 kilograms.
, now we can only rely on manpower to pull the iron chain bit by bit to close the city gate.
"Fire the arrow!"
The Mohe cavalry in the rear fired at Xuancheng one after another and started the second wave of offensive.
Facing the rain of arrows, Xuan Cheng did not dodge or evade. With a burst of true energy, the cloth on his upper body exploded.
After breaking out of clothes, the combat power is greatly increased!
The great monk is also a middle-class person, "Your Buddha is here, who dares to come up and get hurt."
Arrows rained down from the sky, but they were unable to damage the great monk's indestructible body.
All the Mohe soldiers were shocked. They did not expect that there were such fierce warriors among the Zhou army.
The most powerful general of the Later Jin Dynasty, the golden marble was also like the great monk Xuancheng, invulnerable to weapons and weapons, and infinitely powerful.
Just when the great monk was about to continue filling the cup, he heard Abuhatka getting up and shouting, "Pull me up!"
Three bed crossbows appeared in Xuan Cheng's field of vision.
This is the eight-oxen crossbow captured by the Mohe army from the Zhou army. Although it is not as powerful as the Tianji city-breaking crossbow and has the power of nine oxen and two tigers, it is still extremely powerful.
"Shoot him!"
The Eight Ox Crossbow was already cocked, and it aimed three arrows at Xuan Cheng.
Facing three siege crossbows, Xuan Cheng gave in.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! He is just reckless, not stupid!
If you try to hit such a huge crossbow, isn't this going to cause trouble for yourself?!
Facing three incoming crossbow arrows, Xuan Cheng dodged two of them in a flash, then waved the demon-subduing Zen staff in his hand, and skillfully deflected the third crossbow arrow.
Although the great monk seemed relaxed on the surface, he was already suffering a lot of losses at this moment.
Shaolin's Second Sutra of Changing Tendons and Cleansing Marrow is indeed marvelous, but Xuan Cheng is only in the Yuan Hua realm after all. In successive battles, using human power against horse power will definitely lead to losses.
At this moment, 60 to 70% of the true energy in his body has been consumed. If it weren't for the fact that his Vajra Indestructible Body had already been completed, he would be a dead man at this moment.
"Bah, could it be possible that Lord Buddha is going to pass away in this place today!?"
Just as Xuan Cheng was holding the demon-subduing Zen staff tightly, a figure floated over.
"Master Xuancheng, go back and close the city gate. Leave this place to me!"
The person who came was none other than Guo Jing, who arrived in time to provide support.
"Master Guo, what should you do if the city gate is closed?!"
Guo Jing smiled at Xuancheng and said, "Master, just close the door, Guo will have his own way to escape."
Xuan Cheng was not a pretentious person. He immediately ran into the city gate with his Zen staff, then threw the Zen staff away and pressed his hands on the city gate.
"drink!"
The muscles in the great monk's arms suddenly swelled, and veins appeared on his forehead. The 10,000-pound city gate slowly closed under the great monk's huge force.
Seeing that the city gate was about to close, the Mohe soldiers naturally refused and rushed forward one after another.
"Roar!"
However, Guo Jing stood firm with both feet and his luck came into play.
A light dragon instantly entrenched itself between his palms.
Kanglong has regrets!
An invincible dragon of light blasted out, within twenty feet in front of Guo Jing, all men and horses fell. No one could match the power of this palm.
"Ahem!"
After sending out this palm, Guo Jing coughed slightly. The injuries caused by the hard rocking that day have not fully healed, and there are still some obstacles to his luck.
"Master Guo, the city gate is closed, return to the city quickly!"
Guo Jing heard this and was about to leave. Mohe's army immediately came forward. Guo Jing then turned around and struck again.
Shocked Baili.
Wherever the force of the palm passes, both men and horses will be killed.
Then, Guo Jing's left foot was a little above the city wall, and his body suddenly rose by more than three feet. Just when everyone thought that Guo Jing was about to reach his strength, his right foot was a little above his left foot, and his body suddenly rose by more than three feet.
The left foot stepped on the right foot and went up to the sky!!!
The coffin boards of Galileo and Newton are completely unbearable, but according to Blue Star's timeline, these two are Guo Jing's juniors, so they have to be in charge.
There are very few people in the world who know the advanced martial arts of this "ladder to heaven". Although some people practice it, they only go up to five feet and ten feet with each step. It is rare for someone like Guo Jing, who starts at three feet.
Suddenly, there was silence both above and below the city, and tens of thousands of eyes were all fixed on him.
