Four hundred and twentieth eight chapters five elephants defending the city
Thunder was trembling on the Yangtze River, but compared with before, the heavy rain had subsided, and the endless thick dark clouds began to disperse quickly.
The previously overflowing Yangtze River has also been brought under control. Although the river is still surging, there is no longer a tendency to overflow.
The King of Yangtze River's eyelids twitched when he saw the scene where the God of Thunder killed the two Gods of Wind and Rain, and he became panicked.
The gods of the Heavenly Palace actually started fighting, and it seemed that the two Gods of Feng and Rain were plotted by the Thunder God of the Ministry of Thunder. They originally planned to attack themselves, but in the end they suddenly attacked the two Gods of Feng and Rain, catching them off guard.
Although the two Gods of Feng and Rain reacted quickly and escaped, it seemed that they could not escape the execution of the God of Thunder.
"What should we do with this thousand-year-old crocodile monster? Should we join forces to kill it, or should we let it go?" The three thunder gods who returned to the sky above the Yangtze River now looked at the Yangtze River King among the clouds with burning eyes.
They were ordered by the God of Leibu to wander around Jinling City to ensure that no ghosts or gods would interfere with this battle in the human world.
The King of Yangtze River is a potential threat.
If he makes a rebellion at this moment and causes a flood, even without the two gods of wind and rain, he can cause the river to burst its banks and flood Jinling.
At this moment, the King of Yangtze River felt relaxed again. He said: "I am a spirit obtained from the Yangtze River. The changes in the world have nothing to do with me. I also ask the three thunder gods in the sky not to regard me as an enemy."
"You control 70% of the changes in the world at this moment. You are the spirit under the waters of the West Lake Lord. The Lord of the West Lake has sent his subordinates to fight with the human saints outside Jinling City. Your words are not enough to convince us. We cannot let you have it.
A slight chance to stir up trouble." A thunder god said.
"Yes, there are so many stakes in this battle. How can it be so easy for you to stay out of the Yangtze River and stay out of it?"
"As a thousand-year-old demon who occupies a water area, you have to bear the consequences. The heavenly palace is in chaos. With your way of doing things, you are not obeying discipline. You have gone too far by proclaiming yourself King of Jiang."
The other two thunder gods also had a resolute attitude, with the intention of killing in their tone.
The general trend of the world is about to become clear. How can it be allowed to be controlled by a big monster that no one can control.
The King of Yangtze River looked ugly at this moment. He said: "If the three thunder gods want to kill me for this matter, I will not be convinced. Although the thunder gods are very high, my thousands of years of practice is not easy."
The great demon who has been able to reach this point naturally has pride in his heart, and he dares to fight even when facing the three thunder gods.
"Your Taoism is very high, but it is nothing in front of us. If you continue to occupy the Yangtze River, we will kill you today. Unless you are willing to spit out pills and surrender to Taoism, we will not show mercy.
"Thor God said.
"Spit out the pills and try to destroy my nine hundred years of practice. Thunder God in the sky, you are too overbearing." The King of Yangtze River said angrily.
The three thunder gods did not say a word, but thunder roared in an instant, and streaks of thunder passed across the sky.
It seemed that these three thunder gods were already angry and did not want to waste any more words with the Yangtze River King.
"The King of the Yangtze River has passed away today. He neither wants to surrender to the Heavenly Palace, nor does he want to surrender to a saint. He just wants to occupy the river and proclaim himself king. But unfortunately, he also occupies the key Yangtze River. Don't say that the Heavenly Palace will not tolerate him. The Heavenly Palace will not tolerate him.
Even the God of Thunder will not tolerate him."
In the river, an old turtle floated on the water. It raised its head and looked at everything in the sky, and couldn't help but sigh in its heart.
This is an unnecessary disaster.
At this moment, the Eight Kings couldn't bear the execution of the Yangtze River King, so they said: "Yangtze River King, since you have not done any evil in the waters of Yangzhou, you should leave this place of wrong and wrong. If you want to continue to do your job,
It is impossible to be the king of the Yangtze River. This is a must-win place, how could you be allowed to occupy it by a wild spirit like you?"
The King of Yangtze River hesitated after hearing this.
He was an alligator on the Yangtze River. He had been here since the beginning of his enlightenment. He never thought about benefiting the people, nor did he think about doing anything wrong. He just controlled the monsters and monsters in the river and proclaimed himself the king.
Could it be that I can’t tolerate myself in this way?
Or is it that you don’t have enough merit to occupy a big river?
He couldn't understand, but the three thunder gods in the sky would not give him any time to think about it. The battle in Jinling City was still going on for who knows how long. It was impossible for the thunder gods to keep an eye on the Yangtze River King.
They want to ensure that there is no threat from spirits near Jinling City.
Therefore, the Yangtze River King must be removed.
On the battlefield at this moment.
Li Xiuyuan was invincible along the way. Although he encountered small resistance along the way, these resistances had little effect and only temporarily delayed his advance.
"There are still rebels on the last city wall. If we break through there, the siege of Jinling City can be solved this time."
The cavalry came to attack, and every time they killed a place, the rebels fled after hearing the news, and they simply lost the courage to continue attacking the city.
Although not many rebels were killed, the effect was obvious.
However, just as Li Xiuyuan led his cavalry through the battlefield of Maitreya Cult King Ze, the city gate on the west wall that had been unable to be conquered for a long time suddenly opened.
At the same time, the suspension bridge on the moat was also slowly lowering.
"The leaders outside the city spare their lives. I am willing to surrender. I also ask the leaders outside the city to stop attacking the city for the sake of my subordinates leaving the city and surrendering." At this time, the gate opened, and he saw Commander Yang under the protection of a group of guards.
, and walked out of the city fearfully.
Now that the city is about to be breached, he may not have a chance if he doesn't surrender.
"Sir, a civil servant in Jinling City has surrendered." A subordinate reported on horseback.
Mr. Chen, who was under the handsome flag, was wearing armor and riding a horse, looking in the direction of the city wall. He indeed saw the suspension bridge lowered and a group of people preparing to leave the city to surrender.
He waved his hand and said: "Since some people are willing to surrender, then follow them, stop attacking, and prepare to surrender and enter the city."
"Yes, sir."
Soon, the horn sounded to end the war, and for a while the steady stream of rebels slowed down their attack on the city, but they did not tear them off the city wall.
"Sir, the bandit army has stopped attacking." A civilian official said in surprise.
Commander Yang was also overjoyed: "It seems that the rebels are willing to accept my surrender, so my life can be saved. Hurry, go and greet the leader of the other side, lest we think we are deliberately slowing down the troops."
, it would be bad if we order an attack at that time."
He was so happy at this moment that he wished he could leave the city immediately and accept surrender.
The feeling of sitting in the city waiting for the rebels to attack was really torturous.
For the sake of his own life, Commander Yang felt that he had to do this.
After a while, a group of several thousand people quickly walked over from the rebel camp and stopped not far from the city wall.
"Who came out of the city to surrender?" A rebel leader rushed over and shouted.
"Xiaguan is the envoy sent by the imperial court to Jinling City. His surname is Yang. Now it is Xiaguan who takes the decision in the city. It is Xiaguan who takes the civil and military officials in the city out of the city to accept the surrender." Envoy Yang shouted.
"Since you surrendered, why did you stop at the city and dare not move forward? Could it be that you are using a trick to deceive us into entering the city?" the rebel leader shouted.
"I don't dare, I don't dare." Yang was startled and said hurriedly.
The rebel leader added: "Since you don't dare, why don't you leave the city and accept the surrender?"
Upon hearing this, Ambassador Yang looked at each other in confusion, looked around, and finally found it difficult to get off the tiger, so he had to muster up the courage to lead dozens of people out of the city to surrender in fear.
Looking at the corpses of various rebels under the city wall and the strong smell of blood on the battlefield, Commander Yang felt as if he had suddenly entered hell.
In my heart I just prayed that this nightmare would pass as soon as possible.
As long as he survived this time, he vowed to never leave the capital again in his life. He would be content to be a small official in the capital. The outside world was not something he could stay in.
"First bring three thousand men and horses to take over the city wall. Pay attention to the movements in other places. Shihu and Huagu seem to have a little movement there. There may be some accident." Mr. Chen ordered at this moment.
"Yes, sir."
A subordinate responded and immediately headed towards the city of Jinling City with the three thousand troops behind him.
At this moment, the city gate is wide open, and there is no intervention from the defenders on the city wall. It only takes a moment for them to enter the city.
Once the city wall is taken over, Jinling City will be taken over.
This battle must end in victory.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
However, at this moment, there were sudden roars from the north.
"Um?"
Mr. Chen looked around, and his expression immediately changed. He saw a group of cavalry rolling towards the city wall in the north, rushing towards here with unrivaled power.
And the person leading it seems to be Li Xiuyuan.
"Hurry into the city and capture Jinling City." Seeing this, Mr. Chen could no longer calm down and shouted loudly.
At this moment, Li Xiuyuan saw the city gate open, the suspension bridge lowered, the defenders on the city wall losing all fighting spirit, and some civil and military officials in the city even came out of the city.
This is what even the stupidest person knows.
"Someone went out of the city and surrendered?" Li Xiuyuan was shocked.
He never expected such a thing to happen.
The city of Jinling is tall, the moat is several feet wide, and it is connected to the water of the Yangtze River. It is impossible to capture such a city in a short period of time.
It was fine that the defenders were incompetent before, but they were able to hold off the rebels for a while. Unexpectedly, the officials in the city were even more incompetent. They were afraid that the rebels would not be able to take Jinling City, so they actually left the city and surrendered.
"Kill over and stop the rebels from entering the city. Let the defenders on the city pull up the drawbridge and close the city gate." Li Xiuyuan shouted.
Immediately, several captains behind him led people to shout: reinforcements have arrived, close the city gate and pull up the drawbridge.
Upon hearing this, Commander Yang turned pale with fright and was in a state of panic for a moment.
"The imperial reinforcements have arrived, sir, what should we do now?" a civil servant next to him said tremblingly.
Now these civil and military officials who surrendered out of the city wanted to die.
He and others had just left the city and surrendered, and reinforcements arrived. Wasn't this trying to kill himself?
There is no such unlucky thing in the world.
Yang Shang's expression was changing at this moment. His forehead was covered with cold sweat. He didn't know what to do. However, when he saw the rebels coming towards him, he immediately shouted: "Don't pull up the suspension bridge and close the city."
Door, I will chop off the head of anyone who dares to do this."
He is obviously closer to the rebels.
There is no choice now, we can only go to the dark side.
Otherwise, once the suspension bridge is pulled up and the rebels attack, you will definitely have no way to survive.
"Is that the voice of Admiral Yang? Damn it, this dog official is still making trouble at this time. With such a stupid official in office, no matter how good the world is, it will be ruined." Li Xiuyuan was furious when he heard this, and he rode without saying a word.
Zhu Longju rushed over first.
With Ryoma's speed, he can catch up immediately.
"Quickly, follow the general and kill the traitor army." Seeing this, the commanders leading the army hurriedly shouted.
The defenders on the city wall also hesitated at this moment, not knowing whether to close the city wall or continue to open it.
However, during this hesitation, the leading cavalry of the rebel army of 3,000 men had already crossed the drawbridge and was about to rush into the city and leave.
At the same time, Mr. Chen personally led his remaining few thousand men and rushed towards Li Xiuyuan.
"I'm here to stop Li Xiuyuan, you take the city." Master Chen gritted his teeth and said.
As long as the army enters the city, everything will be easy. If they are blocked outside the city, how can tens of thousands of people withstand the rolling iron hooves?
Mr. Chen pulled out a sword from his waist, with a cold light flashing, and rode a rare treasure horse. He was not afraid of Li Xiuyuan who was the first to charge.
"Huh? You dare to stop me? You are seeking death." Li Xiuyuan shouted and the gun fell.
Mr. Chen slashed with his sword, and heard the sound of gold and iron clashing. The barrel of the big gun was cut off directly, and the sharp spear head flew out.
"How can it be."
Li Xiuyuan was shocked. He had never encountered any weapon that could cut off the body of his golden spear.
"Why make such a fuss? My master's sword is called Yitian Sword. It is a sword worn by Cao Cao. How can your weapon be my opponent?"
Mr. Chen snorted coldly and swung his sword to kill Li Xiuyuan again.
"Although the sword is sharp, your personal martial arts skills are too poor. Get out of here."
Li Xiuyuan saw the flaw, avoided the sword, and then swung the gun barrel in his hand.
Mr. Chen immediately flew off the horse and fell heavily to the ground.
"Son~!"
The nearby rebels all surrounded him, trying to take Mr. Chen's life.
"This man is the bandit leader." Li Xiuyuan's face changed slightly, and he wanted to go up and kill this man, but considering that another group of people was about to enter the city, he gave up this plan.
He immediately rushed past the obstruction of the rebels in front of him and headed straight for Jinling City.
Is it too late?
When Li Xiuyuan killed the several thousand people who blocked him, he saw that the rebel had already entered under the city wall.
My heart immediately shivered.
"Quickly seize the city wall and drive back the cavalry outside the city." The leader shouted loudly.
However, when he just walked into the passage, a sudden sound of howling wind sounded from in front of him, and a huge boulder flew over from nowhere and hit him directly.
"What?" The leader was shocked and wanted to raise his weapon to resist, but when the weapon hit the boulder, it was instantly deflected, and then the boulder fell heavily on him.
"Wow~!"
A mouthful of blood spurted out, and the leader's chest was smashed to pieces, and all the people behind him fell to the ground, with blood splattering all over them.
"With me here, who dares to capture the city?"
A roar sounded, and a very tall man was seen striding forward with a stone lion in both hands, and threw it towards the rebels who entered the passage.
Before he died, the leader saw in a trance five white elephants, roaring and roaring towards them, guarding the passage airtight.
"It's Wu Xiang~!"
Li Xiuyuan was overjoyed when he saw the flying boulder and repelled dozens of rebels. He thought the rescue was not timely.
