Chapter Forty-Three [Big Sword Cuts Off the Enemy's Head] Part 1
Taitul originally wanted to hide this matter, but he did not expect that his father would find out about it immediately. He became furious and said: "What bastard dares to talk so much?"
Tie Mo'ao said calmly: "Don't forget that I still have many close friends in Parthia City." He paused and then said: "Do you want to persuade me to leave when you come here this time?"
Tetul nodded.
Iron Mo'ao sneered and said: "The size of Parthia City today is the result of years of hard work by us bandits. Although we have gone through many hardships, we have always stood firm. If it were destroyed in the hands of you, my father and my son, we would have How can we face our ancestors?"
Taitul remained silent and looked at Tang Lie as if asking for help.
Tang Lie consoled him: "Father, you are a hero, but you have just undergone surgery and your body has not fully recovered. Why stay here to increase the risk? It is better to listen to your elder brother and leave Parthia City to avoid the danger for the time being. Wait until you recover from your injuries before going out to deal with these bastards,"
Iron Demon Ao slowly shook his head and said: "There are as many as 70,000 thieves living in Parthia City. How can I just watch them be slaughtered by those dog thieves?"
Taitul said: "Father, I have arranged for the tribe to retreat to the underground forest in the west. As long as we enter the forest, we should be able to escape this disaster."
Iron Mo'ao stared at Taitul coldly and said: "Most of the residents living in Parthia City are old, weak, women and children. Their advance is very slow. If they abandon Parthia City, they will take the initiative to evacuate the most advantageous place." barrier..."
Tetur said loudly: "Father, don't worry, my son will lead five thousand bandit warriors to defend the city of Parthia to ensure the safe evacuation of the tribe."
Tie Mo'ao's eyes turned to Tang Lie: "Godson, you are not a member of our bandit tribe, there is no need to accompany us to death,"
Tang Lie could see from his firm eyes that Tie Mo'ao's confidence to fight against the Xuanwu army was unshakable. Hearing his concern for him, a burst of blood surged up in his heart, and he said loudly: "If my adoptive father doesn't want to leave, Tang Lie will not leave." Lieya will stay here with you,"
Taitul's heart was agitated, he held Tang Lie's big hand and said: "Good brother, let's work together to drive back those bandits."
Since Tang Lie decided to stay, Xuan'er and Xuan Bo stayed with him without hesitation. Tang Lie's original intention was to let Xuan Bo and Xuan'er leave, but seeing their extremely determined attitudes, he had to give up.
Ling Ying, who originally wanted to leave, had to stay because of this incident.
Tang Lie felt extremely strange. Of all the people, Ling Ying had the least reason to stay. The Yi clan and the bandits were originally sworn enemies. Now the Yi clan and the Xuanwu Empire colluded to attack the bandits. As a member of the Yi clan, He actually sided with the thieves.
Watching Ling Ying silently tighten the string of the golden long bow, Tang Lie sat down next to him: "What makes you stay?"
Ling Ying closed his left eye, pulled the bow string hard, and then released it after pulling it to the end. There was a muffled sound: "Xuan'er," his answer was simple and direct.
"What is your relationship with Xuan'er?"
Ling Ying gave Tang Lie a cold look: "This doesn't seem to have anything to do with you."
Tang Lie smiled awkwardly, and when he saw Ya Yi'an walking towards them, he joked: "I must have seen it wrong, you are still here at this time,"
Ya Yi'an protested loudly: "Am I Ya Yi'an so unloyal in your hearts? I have decided to fight together with my friends."
Ling Ying sneered and said: "You have such good intentions, maybe you want to take advantage of the war to make a fortune,"
Ya Yi'an said with a playful smile: "You are always so direct in your speech. Who doesn't understand the principle of fishing in troubled waters?" This guy is really despicable. He actually wants to take advantage of the chaos to get property when the disaster is approaching.
Tang Lie patted Ya Yi'an on the shoulder and said: "Although money is important, it is not as important as life. I advise you to run away as soon as possible."
Ya Yi'an said loudly: "No matter how important life is, it is not as important as our friendship. For the sake of friendship, I will never leave." Although the credibility of his words was very low, it sounded to Tang Lie and Ling Ying. I also feel comfortable.
Ling Ying put away his bow and arrows, stood up and said to Tang Lie: "Once the war starts, you will protect Xuan Bo and I will protect Xuan'er. If the situation goes bad, we will retreat as soon as possible."
"As for me," Ya Yi'an felt ignored by Ling Ying when he didn't mention her name.
Ling Ying looked at him coldly and said, "Just resign yourself to fate."
Heavily armed bandit archers began to arrange themselves on the wide city wall. The crossbows they used were quite peculiar. In addition to the thunderbolt arrows that Tang Lie had seen before, giant bed crossbows were also arranged at regular intervals. This kind of crossbows Somewhat similar to the mother-and-child arrow, the propulsion force of the bed crossbow is extremely strong, and it can shoot the giant arrows a long distance. The giant arrows will split in the middle, and countless arrows in it will scatter twice, affecting a very wide range.
Xuan'er gently pulled Tang Lie's sleeves. Tang Lie looked in the direction she pointed, and saw more than two hundred bandit warriors carrying black wings on the city wall. Tang Lie was standing with Tai on the statue. During the Tur trade, I witnessed the bandits using these wings to glide. Now I had the opportunity to observe them up close. After careful attention, I found that the black wings in the hands of the bandit warriors were purely artificially made, and the skeleton was made of an unknown metal. The main body of the wings is sewn with a soft film, which is very similar to the paragliding wings that Tang Lie used to engage in extreme sports.
It could be seen that the bandit warriors were quite wary of Tang Lie and the others. Princess Xuanbo wanted to get closer to see what was going on, but she was glared at by them.
Princess Xuanbo angrily said: "These guys are really hateful. We kindly stayed to help them, but they treated me like spies."
Tang Lie smiled calmly and said: "If you want others to accept you, it will naturally take time."
Xuan Bo whispered: "Tang Lie, why do you insist on staying?"
Tang Lie quietly pulled her aside and whispered: "Do you know who is leading the Xuanwu Kingdom's army this time?"
Xuan Bo's clear and beautiful eyes were covered with a layer of melancholy: "Who,"
"Sima Tianfeng,"
Xuan Bo looked sad. In fact, she had already had a premonition that the empire's army was coming towards her. Now it was finally confirmed. No wonder Tang Xie would stay here without hesitation. The disaster of the bandits was actually brought about by herself.
Tang Lie handed Xuan Bo a ball of something: "When the war breaks out, you put on the scale armor."
Xuan Bo felt moved in his heart, his nose felt sore, and there were crystal tears in his beautiful ice-blue eyes: "Tang Lie, maybe I am really an ominous person and have brought so many disasters to everyone,"
Tang Lie smiled and shook his head: "At first, I also thought that Sima Tianfeng led the army to attack Parthia City because of you, but if you think about it carefully, everything is not that simple."
Xuan Bo looked at Tang Lie inquiringly.
Tang Lie said: "I have a feeling that since we escaped from the imperial capital, these people have been planning their own plans, and Sima and his son are no exception. They took advantage of the opportunity of chasing us to develop their own strength and expand their influence in the army. Strength and influence are also possible,"
Xuan Bo shook his head vigorously and said: "These intrigues and intrigues are really annoying. I don't want to get involved in them anymore."
Tang Lie sighed: "Being born in an emperor's family, there are many things that you cannot control yourself."
Xuan'er and Ling Ying came to them, and Ling Ying told them: "We should try not to separate. If we feel the situation is not right, we should evacuate immediately."
Ya Yi'an got close to a few people and said: "If you want to escape, you must not go west. Most of the bandits are retreating to the underground forest now. The target is too big and will definitely become the main attack point of the imperial army."
Tang Lie was keenly aware that there was something wrong in Ya Yi'an's words, and asked: "From what you say, you should know other retreat routes,"
Ya Yi'an chuckled and said, "The secret must not be leaked."
"Godson," Tie Mo'ao's sonorous voice sounded behind them. They all turned around, only to see Tie Mo Ao striding up to the city wall, escorted by six bandit warriors.
Tang Lie approached him with concern: "Father, your injury is still not healed, how can you get out of bed?"
Tie Mo'ao laughed loudly, stretched out his right fist and punched his chest twice: "I'm very good, the wound has completely healed now," but his voice became a little strange when he spoke, the two punches just now were too heavy. , I felt an unbearable pain at the wound.
Tang Lie saw that Tie Mo'ao was not as relaxed as he showed, and it was not easy to point it out in front of everyone, so he whispered: "The war hasn't started yet, so my adoptive father should go back and rest."
Tie Mo'ao laughed and shook his head, looking into the distance. Red and blue lights suddenly flashed in the darkness in the distance. The corners of his lips twitched, and the expression on his face became extremely serious. He spoke word by word. : "They are already here,"
Taitul stood on the top of the tower, wearing scale armor, with his right arm hanging out, and shouted loudly: "Close the city gate and prepare to fight,"
The bandit warriors let out a loud shout that shook the world.
A ray of light tore through the chaotic darkness in the distance. The light became brighter and brighter, and finally illuminated the entire underground world as bright as day.
The bandit warriors who were waiting on the city wall subconsciously stretched out their hands to cover their eyes because their eyes could not stand the stimulation of the strong light.
Thousands of imperial warriors surrounded the Parthian city against the light. They formed an arc formation and slowly advanced towards the castle. At the forefront was a spear army composed of Tiberium orcs. Behind them were soldiers holding weapons. There is a giant shield battalion composed of huge iron-shielded Tar giants, and further behind is a rocket battalion composed of orc archers, and behind them are lurking wolf cavalry that attack quickly.
Sima Tianfeng rode on the black unicorn, looking proudly in the direction of the Parthian city, with cruel flames burning in his gray-green eyes. In his mind, the thieves were just a bunch of robbers, and today he would use the flames of war to Completely ignite this dark underground world.
Taitul roared loudly: "For hundreds of years, the Xuanwu Empire has never stopped oppressing and killing our bandit tribesmen. Our forbearance and retreat have only resulted in more sacrifices and bloodshed. Today we want to speak loudly to They said no, anyone who wants to invade our homeland will pay a heavy price,"
The impassioned speech received a fierce response from the bandit warriors, and roars erupted from the city walls.
Tie Mo'ao looked at his son with joy. Taitul had matured and showed his amazing potential in times of crisis. Maybe he should get to know his son again.
The imperial soldiers were not in a hurry to get close to the Parthian city. They suddenly stood down before entering the effective range of the bandits. They seemed to be waiting for something.
Taitul and all the bandit warriors are also waiting. Once the empire blows the battle horn, it will mean the official start of their bloody struggle.
This is a long waiting process, waiting to torture the nerves of every soldier on both sides, waiting for the entire battlefield to return to silence from the hustle and bustle.
Sima Tianfeng's gloomy face revealed a cruel smile: "It's begun,"
A short old man behind him nodded slowly: "Here we go,"
A dazzling red light glowed behind the imperial troops, and a sea of red fire passed above them at high speed, sweeping directly towards the Parthian city.
Tie Mo'ao's eyes suddenly widened. Based on his experience, he could not guess how the flames came from the void.
"That's a fire bat," Ling Ying reminded loudly. As a member of the Wing Clan, he has an extremely deep understanding of fire bats. Only one person in the Wing Clan can control such a large group of fire bats. Long sky.
An inexplicable sadness surged in Ling Ying's heart. Changkong, the leader of the clan, actually defected to the empire. The tragedies of the Yi clan's past were about to happen again today. He took off his golden long bow like lightning and shouted loudly: "Under no circumstances should the swarm of fire bats be allowed to approach the castle," the bow string sounded, and twelve arrows were shot out like lightning.
Taitul reacted immediately and hurriedly ordered his bandit warriors to aim at the fire bat swarm in the air and shoot. For a moment, the arrows shot towards the fire bat swarm like locusts, and the miserable neighing sound filled the entire space. The fire bats fell to the ground after being hit by arrows. However, there were so many fire bats attacking this time that it was impossible for the arrows of the rogue archers to block their crazy offensive.
A bandit archer had just shot and killed two fire bats when a fire bat rushed towards his face at high speed and bit his nose hard. The bandit archer screamed and his whole body His face quickly burned. He covered his face and tried to shake off the fire bat, but the fire bat was like a maggot attached to his bones, clinging to his body. In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen fire bats tore him apart. Biting on his body, the bandit archer rushed forward mindlessly, screaming and falling from the towering city wall.
