Hearing what Zhang Rui said, I smiled and said, "You might as well not tell me this. Telling half of it will make me feel itchy to death."
Zhang Rui smiled and said, "I see that Fellow Daoist Chen has not been attentive enough recently, so I had no choice but to say something so that Fellow Daoist Chen can concentrate."
I said: "My senior sisters and senior brothers are here. With them here, as long as they are willing to contribute, it will be fine. You won't place your main hope on me, right?"
Zhang Rui said: "Although they all belong to the same sect of the Three Saints, you are the only one among them who has worshiped the Three Saints as their teacher. This is enough to show your future status in the supernatural world. I believe in the vision of the Three Saints."
, so I prefer to put all my bets on you!"
Zhang Rui's words put me under a lot of pressure.
And he didn't say these words behind anyone's back, so my senior sisters and brothers also heard it, but their reactions were very normal, and they didn't have the slightest hint of jealousy. I suddenly realized one thing, each of them
Everyone has their own goals, and they don't care about anything other than their goals.
They all know what they want in their hearts.
What do I want?
What I did was to save Mai Xiaorou, and...
I glanced at Nangong Fancong a few times. She glanced at me and said, "Don't keep peeking at me furtively, like a thief. If you want to look at me, just do it openly. I don't want your money."
Hearing what Nangong Fan said, everyone laughed, but I was a little embarrassed, so I quickly summoned the Thorn Deer and took everyone into the air.
Flying into the air, Zhang Rui was wearing golden armor, with a red cloak floating behind him. He drew his long sword and pointed in front of him, saying: "Soldiers, after we capture Tianwu City, we can go home. We, the Wuling Tribe, can also go home."
If we can completely get rid of the demon clan's clutches, we can be free!"
Zhang Rui's voice spread throughout the Qingyue Pass, and the marching armies instantly became more energetic. Countless people raised their weapons high and shouted long live.
Especially when they saw Zhang Rui standing on the head of a thorny deer, the morale of the soldiers increased again.
The army was actually in order. The cavalry cleared the way, the infantry accompanied them, and the baggage was behind them. Everything was in order.
Although our marching speed was not fast, it took us half a day to reach the Holy Witch City. The city wall of the Holy Witch City was a hundred meters high. There were many ballistae on the wall, and they were not ordinary ballistae, but super-high-definition missiles.
A powerful formation that can fire various Taoist ballistae.
Seeing those crossbows, Li Guidao smiled and said, "There are three types of crossbows: the thunder fire crossbow, the wind thunder crossbow, and the ice-sealing crossbow. Among them, the thunder-fire crossbow has the strongest attack power. The ice-sealing crossbow is mainly used to predict the marching speed of the legion."
Seeing the densely packed ballistae on the tall city wall, I couldn't help but feel a little worried.
Looking at Zhang Rui's side, there are very few ballistae in front, and most of the baggage is behind, so we will definitely not be able to attack the city for a while.
Zhang Rui's men also knew this very well, and directly asked the legion to set up camp within the attack range of the ballistae, waiting for the baggage from behind to arrive.
Speaking of ballistae, I discovered that our Wuwangsui City doesn’t even have a ballistae. The equipment is really too backward. I helped Zhang Rui this time. When I return to Wuwangsui City, I will definitely give it to me.
The garrison and the two legions brought in some ballistae.
Just when we were setting up camp here, the gate to the east of Tianwu City slowly opened, and then a group of cavalry rushed out of the gate. The cavalry were all wearing golden armor and floating black cloaks.
, long hand.
They directly chose to charge into battle!
Seeing this, Zhang Rui was also a little surprised and said: "My third brother never does anything he is not sure of. Those hundreds of people attacking our tens of thousands of vanguard legions are a little too underestimated. Since he wants to give me
If I make a move, I will take it!"
After that, Zhang Rui directly issued an order: "Zhang Hao, bring a cavalry vanguard to fight!"
Zhang Hao is a third-level immortal monk and the commander of an elite legion. Zhang Rui directly asked Zhang Hao to fight because the monk who came to charge on the opposite side was also a strong third-level immortal. If he sent a monk who was too weak,
It will definitely be destroyed instantly.
Don't lose the momentum in the first battle.
After receiving the order, Zhang Hao did not hesitate and rushed out from our formation with a thousand cavalry.
Viewed from a high altitude, the two groups of cavalry collided rapidly on the ground, as if two sharp spears were about to collide.
When charging into the formation, whether it was the third-level immortal monk from Tianwu City or Zhang Hao from our side, they all charged at the center, while the cavalry behind them started charging from far away on both sides of them.
.
They distanced themselves so that they would not be affected by the residual power of the battle between the three heavenly beings.
Before the war started, the two third-level immortals also arranged barriers around them. The two barriers collided to form a complete barrier that covered the two people.
This is the standard etiquette for charging into battle in the Upper Realm. The vanguards of both sides will first separate themselves from their subordinates.
My blood boiled with excitement as I watched from the sky, because the Tianwu City general who was rushing to the front was already standing with Zhang Hao.
The general of Tianwu City directly thrust the spear in his hand at Zhang Hao's chest, and the weapon Zhang Hao used was an epee. In terms of length, he suffered first, so he could only block with his sword.
But just as Zhang Hao was swinging his sword, the spear in the Tianwu City general's hand suddenly turned into a black snake, and then "swish" in a strange arc, biting Zhang Hao's neck.
Upon seeing this, Zhang Hao quickly used his body, and the heavy sword was burning with extremely strong Tao fire, and he swung his sword to block it.
But at this moment, the two horses crossed each other, and the two were already parallel. The general of Tianwu City directly slapped Zhang Hao on the chest with his palm.
Zhang Hao quickly raised his palm to block it, and the two palms collided!
"Bang!"
A wave of residual power bounced away, and Zhang Hao's figure suddenly became a little unstable. The black snake took the opportunity to make a strange arc and bit Zhang Hao's nose directly. Then the general of the Wuling Tribe pulled the snake fiercely.
The black snake's tail directly pulled Zhang Hao off his horse.
"boom!"
Zhang Hao's body fell heavily to the ground, and the black snake had spit its poison into Zhang Hao's body.
The general of Tianwu City yanked the black snake again, pulling Zhang Hao directly onto his horse, and then suddenly raised his right hand, directly lifting Zhang Hao over his head with a lifting movement!
What's happening here?
The monks of the third level of heaven were fighting, and the ones on our side were killed instantly?
Zhang Hao was captured alive, and the vanguard he led out was instantly in chaos, and was directly beaten by hundreds of people who rushed into the formation from Tianwu City.
Zhang Rui was also shocked and immediately said: "Save the formation!"
Qi Haitong, as the only fourth-level monk under Zhang Rui, also rushed out of the battle. That day, the generals of Wu City saw that the momentum of the first battle had been unleashed and did not want to fight. They directly called on their men to turn around and retreat.
The pair of cavalrymen came and went in a hurry. Although some people were killed in the collision just now, they did not leave a body of one of their own.
Looking back at Zhang Rui's army, a thousand cavalrymen were killed by hundreds of people. The horses and armors were scattered on the entire battlefield, which was very embarrassing.
The most embarrassing thing is that Zhang Hao, the third-level immortal, died in the battle. When the Wucheng general retreated that day, he directly threw Zhang Hao's body towards Qi Haitong. Qi Haitong thought that Zhang Hao could still be saved, so he naturally wanted to save him, but who would have thought of him?
As soon as he took over Zhang Hao, he died.
Looking at the cavalry of Tianwu City, they have retreated to the defense range of the ballistae. Even though Qi Haitong is a powerful fourth-level immortal, he does not dare to face tens of thousands of Taoist ballistae rashly.
In the first battle, we suffered a huge loss, and Zhang Rui's momentum, which I had used to build the deer, was gone in an instant.
Zhang Rui also raised his eyebrows, obviously he was also very angry, but he quickly controlled his emotions, then ordered the army to reorganize the formation and continue to set up camp.
At the same time, Zhang Rui also said: "Don't worry, everyone. We were just running continuously and were a little exhausted. The other party found a gap. When we complete the rectification, Tianwu City will definitely be ours..."
Then Zhang Rui gave another long speech, and the momentum of the entire legion gradually stabilized as the subsequent arrivals and the baggage were slowly delivered.
But I can no longer be as excited as when the army set out.
I was also full of surprises about the general who charged into the Celestial Witch City, but I also discovered something. The spear in his hand that could be transformed into a black snake was actually a triple celestial monster.
So on the surface, Zhang Hao was fighting one by one, but in fact, he was fighting two strong men of the third level of heaven alone. He must not have expected that the Wucheng general's weapons happened that day, and he suffered a big loss for a while.
This is why his death is unclear.
If he had known about the condition of the weapon, he would definitely not have been defeated so quickly.
But then again, the hidden magical power of the future black snake in Wu City that day was also powerful. There were so many good detectives on our side, but they didn't discover it at the first time. It's no wonder that Zhang Hao fell into the trap.
Within half an hour after we arrived here, we lost a third-level immortal monk. This is not good news for Zhang Rui.
Of course, it's also very bad for us, because the greater Zhang Rui's disadvantage is, the more we will have to do in the future.
It seems that defeating the Holy Witch City is really not an easy task.
After arranging the military affairs, we followed Zhang Rui back to his military tent. Zhang Rui slapped the table angrily, probably because he was distressed by the death of a third-level immortal general.
None of Zhang Rui's men dared to bite.
Soon Zhang Rui said: "We need a victory to boost morale. Who is willing to call for formation? Win a morale-boosting victory for our army."
No one under Zhang Rui stepped forward, so I frowned and said, "I'll give it a try!"
It’s not that I want to show off my strength, but I feel that the earlier I go out, the weaker the opponent I may face, so I choose to go out first, and I don’t want to regard myself as the finale!
Zhang Rui was stunned for a moment. He obviously didn't want me to go out to fight so early. Seeing that his men were silent, he had to say to me: "Then I'll give you a favor, Fellow Daoist Chen!"
I cupped my hands and said, "Easy to say!" (To be continued)
