Chapter 74: The Mud Bodhisattva Crossing the River Can't Protect Himself
"Brother, be careful." Liu Mingshuo looked at the tall and mighty figure and shouted.
On the tower of Tongcheng, a majestic figure stood proudly. Looking at Liu Mingzong walking farther and farther, he felt uneasy and uneasy. He had felt like this from the moment Xin Ye Kingdom raised his troops to invade.
"General Liu, don't worry. General Mingzong has experienced hundreds of battles and is always at his best. If he leads so many strong martial artists together this time, nothing will happen to him." Situ Jing'er looked worried.
Comforting way
After a long time, Liu Yunfei sighed, feeling much older in an instant. "Alas, the princess doesn't know something. The old minister has been restless during this period. He has been having an ominous premonition, as if there is something stuck in his chest, and he is so depressed!"
"Old General, you may be overworked due to busy military affairs. You must take care of yourself. Daning's safety depends entirely on you!"
Situ Jing'er knew very well that Liu Yunfei was the pillar of the Daning Dynasty. If he fell, the tall building of the Daning Dynasty would also tilt and collapse, and the eggs would not be intact after the nest was overturned.
"The soldiers are coming to cover up the water and the earth. As long as the old minister is still breathing, Jin Bute will not even think about crossing Tongcheng even half a step!" Liu Yunfei sighed again, his face improved a lot, turned to Situ Jing'er and asked, "Old minister
I heard that the princess has lost her appetite during this period and is depressed all day long. I wonder what’s going on with the princess?”
Being asked so suddenly by Liu Yunfei, Situ Jing'er was a little flustered and replied hesitantly, "But, maybe, maybe it's because I'm not used to it, or maybe I miss my father!"
Liu Yunfei laughed, noncommittal, then glanced at Liu Mingzong who disappeared in the mountains, and said, "It's getting late, let's go back, princess!"
The sunset dyed the sky deep red, like a majestic red ocean, very spectacular and very poignant, as if it heralded the coming fierce battle.
As the sunset ended, the sky was covered with a layer of black gauze, and the stars sparkled like diamonds, competing with each other against the dense firelight on the ground.
"Marshal, through this five-mile-long mountain col is Tongcheng!"
The armor of the 500,000-strong army reflected a cold red light under the illumination of many torches. This huge army stood motionless and silent, only the sound of "sizzling" was heard when the torches burned.
Jinbat jumped off the horse, and the golden armor on his body made a clear sound of metal collision.
High mountains towered to the left and right in front of me, and the dark wind howled out one after another from the col between the two mountains.
The firelight swayed with the wind, and the shadows of the half-million-strong army flickered and flickered, adding a bit of horror to the windy mountain.
Jinbat was wandering back and forth, looking at the surrounding environment carefully. His stern face seemed to be thinking about something. Many generals on the side did not dare to disturb him and stayed in place quietly waiting for orders!
After a while, Jinbat turned around and walked over, and all the generals stepped aside to get out of the way.
"Send out scouts to explore the terrain and focus on searching these two mountains for ambushes. Set up camp on the spot tonight to prevent the enemy from stealing the camp!"
As Jinbat walked forward, a series of orders blurted out, and the generals stepped back one after another to arrange their tasks.
Liu Yunfei, who was sitting alone in the tent, felt his heart skip a beat. He opened his bright and flashing eyes, as if he had sensed it. He looked through the many barriers in the direction that Jinbat had just gone straight, and said slowly, "It seems that this time
Rivers of blood will flow again!"
In the towering mountain, a person climbed to the highest point of the branch and looked at the surging fire dragons at the bottom of the mountain in the distance.
With the help of the firelight, he could vaguely see the dense crowd, and the light reflected by the armor made his face eclipsed.
He jumped down from the branch and landed firmly on the ground. Unable to control his panic, he quickly ran to Liu Mingzong, "General, Xin Ye Kingdom's 500,000 soldiers and horses have arrived at the bottom of the mountain."
Here in the mountains, two hundred soldiers remained in a half-kneeling posture, quietly waiting for the next move.
Liu Mingzong waved his hand and whispered, "Continue to watch their every move!"
"Yes!" the soldier responded with fists clasped and retreated.
Not long after, another soldier rushed over from another place and reported with clasped fists, "General, the enemy has sent two groups of troops heading towards the mountain. It looks like they are their scout troops."
The so-called scouts are also scouts. They are agile, quick to react, and have high level of cultivation. Their main task is to collect intelligence and they are never reluctant to fight.
"How many people are there?" Liu Mingzong asked in a solemn voice.
"The two teams have about a hundred people in total!"
After thinking for a moment, the former's eyes burst with murderous intent, and he said resolutely, "No one will be spared!"
From this moment on, the war was already going on quietly. Two hundred soldiers immediately divided into two groups and ambush on the only way up the mountain.
In the silent mountains, only the chirping of insects and birds could be heard, but the next moment, the sound of swords clashing broke the silence, and the sounds of fighting could not be heard.
Another hilltop also heard horrific screams, one after another. After just three minutes, the original tranquility returned, as if nothing had happened.
Ten miles away from the south gate of Tongcheng, a thin figure was walking slowly forward, each heavy step leaving half-inch deep footprints on the ground.
A drop of sweat fell from his chin to the ground, and his chest heaved violently. He had been walking non-stop for a day. If it weren't for the Xuanyi armor, this journey would have been nothing, but the spiritual energy in his body was absorbed by Xuanyi.
The armor suppresses it, and it weighs fifty kilograms, which is too much for an average person to bear.
The lights on the city tower were brightly lit, and even from ten miles away, the outline of the city could be vaguely seen.
Qin Tian licked his chapped lips and sat aside to rest.
"Huh?" Yu Chen's consciousness sensed two powerful auras in front of him, and he couldn't help but make a sound.
"What's wrong, master?" Qin Tian asked
"It's nothing. I sensed two Martial King's auras. One of them should be your grandfather's, and the other one is probably his opponent!"
Yu Chen was naturally no stranger to Liu Yunfei's aura. He had already met him when he was in the palace. Liu Yunfei's powerful wood-type Martial King aura was unique in Daning. That's why Yu Chen was so sure that one of them was Liu Yunfei.
"Oh? Is this going to start a war?" Qin Tian stood up and glanced at Tongcheng in the distance
"If this war really breaks out, I'm afraid there will be hundreds of thousands of casualties." Qin Tian sighed.
He does not regret those living lives, but hates this senseless killing. For land, gold, silver, rights, human life is worthless in front of these.
"Wherever there are human beings, there will be disputes, and where there are disputes, there will be fighting. Death is a common thing. The weak will eat the strong, and survival of the fittest is the law of nature. This is an eternal truth. You are weak alone.
Nothing can be changed!"
Yu Chen said, as a strong man who has lived for countless thousands of years, he has never seen anything in the world, and he doesn't know any truth. Without this understanding, he would not climb to the top of the pyramid and look down at all living beings.
"I really can't change anything, don't I still have you?" Qin Tian joked.
"Come on, please don't drag me into this. I'm like a clay Buddha crossing the river and I can't save myself."
Yu Chen rolled his eyes at him and said, his current soul power is limited, and he is reluctant to waste even a little bit unless it is absolutely necessary. If a person wants to live a long life, he must understand that doing more is worse than doing less, even if you If you want to take care of it, you have to do it according to your ability. The foolish thing of flying moths into the flame is not a wise choice.
"It depends on the situation. If grandpa can handle it, that's the best. If he can't, it's up to you, master!"
After saying that, Qin Tian continued walking towards Tongcheng, completely ignoring Yu Chen's cursing voice in his mind.
The young man understood very well that as long as he took action, Yu Chen would definitely not take action himself without encountering danger, but if his life was threatened, he would definitely not sit idly by and do nothing.
That's why Qin Tian can do things with confidence. From a certain point of view, Qin Tian and Yu Chen are a community of this body, and fate has tied them together!
The four gates of Tongcheng are tightly closed, and the towers are heavily guarded. It is impossible to sneak in without being discovered, unless you have wings.
Qin Tian hid on the roadside, trying to find a loophole to sneak into Tongcheng. However, after waiting for half an hour, there was no loophole. Tongcheng was now simply airtight.
There are soldiers on the tower with five steps and one sentry and one post at ten steps. There are also many soldiers patrolling back and forth. The entire Tongcheng city wall is brightly lit.
Lu Yusheng's escort team arrived in Tongcheng one day ahead of him. If he hadn't been delayed by what happened that day, he might have been able to sneak into the escort team and sneak into Tongcheng.
"It seems there is no hope of entering the city." Qin Tian sat down on the ground. At this moment, pitiful screams rang through the sky, which seemed particularly loud in this silent night.
Looking up following the sound, it was obvious that these sounds were coming from the mountain.
Don't think too much, it must be people from both sides fighting each other. Since we can't enter the city, we can only go up to the mountain to see what's going on before making the next step.
Immediately, without saying anything, Qin Tian ran up the mountain road not far away. The mountains on the east and west sides were connected end to end with the mountain col in the south. As long as they walked along the road, they could reach where Liu Mingzong and the others were.
"Major General, kill them all."
Dozens of corpses lay on the ground. They were wearing Xinye Kingdom's unique black armor. Several soldiers held knives in their hands and slashed at the scouts who had not yet completely died. They did not give up until they were confirmed to be truly dead.
When we meet on the battlefield, it's either you die or I live, and no one will be merciful. If the two sides exchanged, these enemy scouts might be even more cruel and inhumane.
