The entire Piaoxue City was immersed in a huge sorrow.
After one night, the Pingbei Army outside the city had no intention of giving Piaoxue City a breather, and started making fire and cooking early.
At dawn, the Pingbei Army blew the horn.
The disciples of the Piaoxue Sect on the city wall saw the flags of the Pingbei Army from all directions, military symbols and seals, and swords and spears everywhere, all in order.
"Woo——"
The sound of the horn resounded throughout the vast sky and earth.
The infantry of the Pingbei Army were in front, arranged into square formations, and marched slowly towards Piaoxue City.
From a few miles away, we gradually walked to 300 steps outside the city wall.
The distance of three hundred steps is already very close to Piaoxue City.
Some stronger archers can even shoot arrows there.
But now in Piaoxue City, no one dares to do this.
The Pingbei Army stood quietly outside the city, with square formations tightly guarding each other, flags flying, black armor densely covered, and a murderous aura coming towards them.
The Piaoxue Sect disciples guarding the city wall suddenly couldn't help but swallow their saliva.
Some younger disciples even had sweaty palms.
Although they are all warriors who have wandered around the world, most of them are young. When have they ever seen such a scene?
"Will there be war?"
"Will the Pingbei army attack the city?"
The young warriors on the city wall were panicking and kept looking towards the inner city.
There is a huge mountain standing there, and the Piaoxue Sect has been standing here for thousands of years.
Over the course of thousands of years, we have encountered many crises and dangers, but in the end we were able to overcome them.
I don’t know if this scene has happened before.
The Pingbei Army stopped quietly outside the city, but the horn sound never stopped.
This sad and majestic horn sound clearly reached the ears of every civilian in Piaoxue City.
"Where is General Cao?"
An old voice fell from the high mountains.
As if responding to the trumpet sound, it drowned out the sound of the trumpet sound.
As the people from the Piaoxue Sect came forward, the horn sound in the Pingbei Army also stopped.
But Pingbei General Cao Su did not appear with this voice.
On the contrary, several other elders from the Piaoxue Sect who were famous in their youth appeared. With everyone supporting Lan Yu, they appeared from the Piaoxue Mountain, flew through the void, and finally stopped on the city wall.
The floating postures of several people all showed their abilities at the upper level of the force realm.
This scene seemed to give the people in the city confidence, and some ignorant civilians in the city couldn't help but cheer.
However, what embarrassed a few people was that they had already expressed their attitude in advance, but the Pingbei Army never responded.
"Great Elder."
Mr. Lu looked worriedly at Lan Yu who forced his way out.
At this moment, Lan Yu is more than ten years older than yesterday. With her gray hair and wrinkles on her face, she really looks like an old man who has lived for more than a hundred years.
Lan Yu's face was pale and she could hardly fly. She could barely stand in the air with the support of several elders.
Standing in the air, this is the most basic card and cannot be left out.
The Pingbei camp was quiet, and no one in the Pingbei army of 30,000 people spoke.
The 30,000 soldiers who defeated the Northern Army had overwhelming Qi and blood. Elder Ge, Elder Lu and others were all warriors with high-level strength. After a little experience, they knew that there were many warriors with Qi and blood in Cao Suping's Northern Army.
"There are actually so many Qi-blood warriors, this Pingbei Army..."
The proportion of ordinary qi-blood warriors in the army is not as high as that of Jianghu sects, especially compared to top sects like Piaoxue sect, the proportion is even lower.
But there are quite a few famous warriors with Qi and Blood in the Heavy Army.
Elite divisions like Cao Su have been fighting in the north and south for many years, and the number of Qi and blood warriors has reached 30 to 40%. On average, there are three or four Qi and blood warriors for every ten people.
Of course, because the distribution of qi and blood warriors is uneven, the proportion of qi and blood warriors in the actual ordinary army may be lower.
As for Cao Su's personal bodyguards, which numbered thousands, almost all of them were Qi-blood warriors.
There are more Qi and Blood warriors, and there are also more Strength realm warriors. However, the resources in the army are still tight. Although there are many who have broken through to the lower level of the Strength realm, there are fewer who have broken through to the upper level. It is almost the development of the Fault Clan.
Of course, because the base of Cao Su's army is really large, wait and see in a few years, maybe the number of middle-grade soldiers in the force realm will no longer be a minority.
The premise is that Cao Su can have sufficient supply of martial arts resources.
For example, at this time, Cao Su had already vaguely felt the fundamental problem of an imbalance between the martial arts resource needs of warriors and their own development.
Attacking Piaoxue City is not only an inevitable move to complete the imperial mission, but also a pragmatic move to further enhance the overall strength of his army.
"Great Elder, Cao Su has no voice, what should I do?"
Several people looked at Lan Yu. At this time, Lan Yu was the only backbone of Piaoxue Sect.
Lan Yu's face was uncertain, and she didn't speak for a long time.
At this moment, the Pingbei Army below suddenly made some movement.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
In the Pingbei army, someone beat the war drum.
As soon as the war drums sounded, the army in the front row suddenly stood up and started to advance directly.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
With every beat of the drum, the army took a steady step forward.
At the same time, many soldiers shouted in unison: "Wind!"
"wind!"
With thirty drum beats, the front row of troops advanced thirty steps.
"this......."
Piaoxue City became even more panicked, and the nervous legs and feet of countless Piaoxue Sect disciples on the top of the city began to feel weak.
Many elders floating above were also shocked, but no one dared to say "fight them" at this time.
They had already fought hard last night, and they had fought so hard that no one was left scratched.
At this moment, Piaoxue Sect still has so many power realms to support the scene, but in fact it can only support the scene. If there is a fight, it may not be as useful as the many outer disciples below.
In the midst of panic and hesitation, the Pingbei Army sounded the drum beat again.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The continuous sound of drums caused the three Pingbei Army formations in the front row to move forward another thirty steps.
The Pingbei Army is getting closer and closer to the city wall, and it seems that they may directly attack the city at any time.
However, Lan Yu noticed that the Pingbei Army had not prepared any siege equipment.
So Cao Su should still be demonstrating...
He hesitated for a moment, and after being entangled, he finally let out a long sigh.
When many elders were at a loss, they directly said: "Let's go down together."
Lan Yu's words shocked Elder Ge, Elder Lu and other elders.
Elder Ge was very uncomfortable: "Great Elder!"
"Needless to say, if we are floating in the air like this, Cao Su will not come to see us."
Lan Yu was so smart that she understood what Cao Su meant in almost a moment.
He can cultivate to the late stage of pill formation, so he naturally has a much clearer mind than other martial artists.
Elder Ge said angrily: "Just a kid from Cao Su..."
"Where's Cao Su's son?"
When Lan Yu heard this, he interrupted him directly and scolded: "Don't you understand? Now we are the swordsmen and I am the flesh and blood. We have already lost the battle. Do you understand that we are defeated?"
Lan Yu suddenly scolded and questioned Mr. Ge so loudly that it frightened the always hot-tempered Mr. Ge.
Lan Yu has always been gentle, and just like Yun Zhengxin back then, he is the type who is serious about doing his own thing.
But after all, Lan Yu has been a great elder for such a long time and has a very high prestige. Such a sudden scolding frightened everyone. For a moment, they forgot the same drum sound of Pingbei Army urging them.
"Get down!"
Lan Yu stretched out her hand and shook Elder Ge off, staggering and almost falling from the air.
Fortunately, Mr. Lu reacted quickly enough and quickly supported Lan Yu again.
Several people also fell silent, pulling the uncertain Ge Lao and falling down together with Lan Yu.
Lan Yu and others all stood on the ground, eye level with Pingbei Camp.
"Don't think I don't know what you are thinking."
"Don't I know how the militant mood in the city has been mobilized these days?"
"Others can think that righteous faith is fine, but can you deceive yourselves?"
Lan Yu's face didn't look good after seeing all the elders landing, but he had no choice.
Piaoxue Sect has encountered such a huge crisis, and this is the moment of life and death.
From Cao Su's revealed attitude, it was obvious that he was not really trying to "eradicate" the Piaoxue Sect, but rather giving the Piaoxue Sect a "ray of hope". The key lies in how to seize this glimmer of hope.
For thousands of years, people have come and gone.
Lan Yu, who is more than a hundred years old, has long been accustomed to the vicissitudes of life, things have changed and people have changed.
What is a little temporary humiliation? As long as people are still there, as long as the sect is still there, Piaoxue Sect will rise sooner or later, even if it is another hundred years, or the next hundred years?
When he thought about this, he felt that his thoughts were clear and all the depression in his body was gone.
"Let's go, follow me to see General Cao!"
Lan Yu took the lead and walked towards the Pingbei army step by step.
As Lan Yu really started to walk, the entire Pingbei Army seemed to have been pressed on the stop button, squatting in place and not moving forward any further, and the drum sound also stopped.
In the world, apart from the noisy sounds of Piaoxue City, only Lan Yu and the elder of Piaoxue Sect beside him were left.
This group of six or seven elders walked on the desolate land and felt only silence. It seemed that they could hear the sound of their own heartbeats.
Many Piaoxue Sect disciples on the city wall were watching this scene.
The elders of the Piaoxue Sect passed through the gaps between the Pingbei Army's square formations, leaving behind tragic and desolate figures.
--------------------------
The elders entered Pingbei Camp.
Lan Yu took the lead in shouting: "Lan Yu, the sinner of Piaoxue Sect, please see General Pingbei!"
When several other elders saw such a scene, they suddenly felt very sad.
Lan Yu is the great elder of Piaoxue Sect, but now he is acting like a commoner, coming to pay a visit to the imperial officials.
Putting aside the identity of Great Elder Lan Yu, he himself is also a great monk in the late stage of pill formation.
People of this level are always guests everywhere, so how come they are so disgraced today?
Pingbei camp was always quiet and there was no response.
Several elders felt strange and angry. Even though it was like this, Cao Su still didn't show up? Isn't this enough?
But at this time, Lan Yu didn't move either. He cupped his hands and moved forward, making a full gesture of confession.
After waiting for about a cup of tea, a voice suddenly sounded.
"It turns out to be Elder Lan Yu from Piaoxue Sect, please come in!"
This sound floated, was very long and thick, and showed an extremely deep inner strength.
The expressions of several other martial arts elders suddenly changed.
This Cao Su has returned to his prime?
He had a great battle with Yun Zhengxin, but he recovered so quickly?
When Lan Yu heard the sound, she straightened up and walked forward.
Several other elders also followed, but as soon as they took a step, several Xuanjia generals suddenly appeared in front of them, and one of them directly drew his knife on the ground.
"General's order, I haven't invited you all, so you should wait here!"
Wang Qing, as the strongest second-grade warrior under Cao Su, stood over there, and a beast-like aura emerged, and the expressions of several elders changed slightly.
Lan Yu, who had walked a few steps ahead, turned back and said, "Just wait for me here!"
With Lan Yu on the steps, several people knew not to move forward anymore and watched Lan Yu walk into Cao Suzhong's military camp.
Lan Yu opened the curtain, and the light in the tent was not good. Even in the daytime, there were some shadows.
But the camp was built extremely tall. In the middle, there was a small wooden platform, and a young general holding a scroll was sitting there.
Lan Yu will never forget Cao Su's appearance.
It was this young warrior who directly fought Yun Zhengxin and killed him.
This killing cut off the efforts of the Piaoxue Sect in the previous twenty years, and also cut off the path of the Piaoxue Sect in the next thirty years.
Lan Yu still doesn't understand how Cao Su defeated Yun Zhengxin.
You must know that Yun Zhengxin has been known as the number one master in Youzhou for many years, and he is also ranked high on the Dragon and Tiger Ranking. He is a real gangster.
Yun Zhengxin can become the leader of the Youbei League. In addition to the strong strength of the Piaoxue Sect, Yun Zhengxin's own martial arts is also an important reason.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! In the world of martial arts, those who can take the position of leader are all top masters.
Such a Yun Zhengxin, a master of swordsmanship, even if he loses to Cao Su, there is no problem in saving his life, right? He was beheaded by Cao Su directly?
He didn't understand and still can't believe it.
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would have felt like the civilians in the city that Yun Zhengxin might be trapped in some secret realm.
Lan Yu gathered her thoughts, and after seeing Cao Su, she stepped forward and bowed.
"Lanyu, the sinner of Piaoxue Sect, has met the general."
Cao Su did not put down the book. Today, he changed his image as a martial artist and actually started to read a book. When he heard this, he didn't even raise his head and said lightly sarcastically: "The great elder is joking, Piaoxue Sect is the largest sect in the north.
How could he be guilty?"
Lan Yu's heart skipped a beat, knowing that today's test was difficult, but he didn't expect it to be so difficult. The first sentence made him, a man who had lived for hundreds of years, feel sharp.
Cao Su seemed to be dissatisfied with Piaoxue Sect's expansion, but he also seemed to be talking about Yun Zhengxin's raid on Youzhou Mansion a few days ago.
Lan Yu thought for a moment, then cautiously surrendered: "I hope the general will forgive me."
Cao Su smiled: "I said I'm not guilty, how can I forgive you?"
Lan Yu was very embarrassed when he heard this. If you are not guilty, what are you doing in Piaoxue City now?
Cao Su understood people's hearts and said directly: "I guess you must be thinking at this moment, since I am not guilty, why did I, Cao Su, come to Piaoxue City?"
Lan Yu's expression changed greatly. She didn't expect that Cao Su, an old man who had lived for more than a hundred years, would see through his mind.
Could Cao Su be able to read minds?
He looked at Cao Su in surprise and was speechless for a moment.
Cao Su sneered: "What? You also think that I, Cao Su, can't come to Piaoxue City?"
Lan Yu remained silent, not saying yes or no.
Cao Su suddenly slammed the table.
He was so powerful that with one blow, the entire camp would be blown away.
But the table in front of me, which was made of unknown material, did nothing after being slapped by Cao Su. It only made a loud noise, which added to the atmosphere.
Cao Su's control of his strength was so exquisite that it was unbelievable.
He put down the scroll in his hand, pointed at Lan Yu and cursed: "It is because of people like you that the people of Qianyuan were in dire straits and war broke out everywhere."
