Night of February 20, the 10th year of Kaiyuan Period of Daqian Dynasty.
In the Xu family's mansion in Lingguan County, Xu You looked at the people present with an anxious expression, and said: "Uncles, now Xu Fan has begun to replace the clan members in some important positions in the general. We must act in time. , otherwise we won’t have the slightest chance when Xu Fan completely controls the defenders.”
An old man in his sixties sitting on the main seat suddenly opened his closed eyes, and said with a solemn expression: "Without further delay, let's take action tonight! Now in our Xu family, except for the rebellious son Xu Fan, we are the only two people." Cultivation in the second realm of fate.
You are responsible for opening the city gate with others, and if you are discovered then, I will be responsible for protecting this traitor."
After the discussion, Xu You and others walked out of the mansion and rushed towards Lingguan with a few close associates.
The other side, outside the spirit gate.
It was late at night, and the torches on the top of Lingguan City were burning brightly, which was very conspicuous in the vast night.
Chen Hongyu led hundreds of elites to the far side of the Lingguan city wall first.
"I don't know where Lu Zhiying got the inheritance from, and he uses tricks frequently. There is a formation under this spirit gate, and it will be discovered every time he steps into the inspection range of the formation, which has led to several night attacks that failed. "
Listening to the muttering of a general next to him, Chen Hongyu smiled silently and said: "The checkpoint is not a problem in the first place, it is just a mortal object. A few monks of the second realm of life and life can destroy it directly with a little more effort.
The key is that this small spiritual gate has tens of thousands of defenders. Among the defenders, there are also monks from the second realm. Not only do they have the power to defend the city, but also with formations and other means, a frontal attack requires not only With a strength gap of more than ten times, many monks of the second realm of the second path of life are needed to open up the situation."
Several people around him are direct descendants of Yin Zheng, so Chen Hongyu trusts them very much, and they all know the story of this night attack.
At this time, someone said depressedly: "The key is that Wang Mu's son went to Nanyu alone, which made Lu Zhiying take precautions. This time he even sent five hundred strong men.
We have seen the power of these Lantai warriors. They are truly one to ten, and a small number of them have even entered the blood-moving realm. Once these Lantai warriors stand on the wall of Lingguan, the possibility of us conquering them head-on is even lower. Got it!"
At this moment, a light flashed from the compass magic weapon in front of Chen Hongyu, but at this time, the surveillance circle at the spiritual gate had been temporarily closed.
"It seems that the Xu family in the pass took action and ordered the army behind to follow quietly. Once the city gate is opened, go in first and destroy the city gate, and then attack with the army.
After all, the main barrier of Lingguan is that it is too dangerous. Except for the newly arrived Lantai warriors, those ordinary Seven Killers are too simple for our frontier troops. As long as we attack it, Lingguan will be defeated."
At this time, inside Lingguan, Xu You and some clansmen who held important positions in the army led their soldiers towards the city gate, preparing to open it directly.
"Xu You!" A loud shout came, and the originally dark environment was directly illuminated by bursts of sudden firelight.
"We were still discovered!" Xu You sighed, pulled out the long sword from his waist, and said to several people beside him: "Although Xu Fan's ambush force is several times larger than ours, as long as we delay it for a while, there will naturally be some Another group of tribesmen successfully opened the city gate."
Hearing this, several people around them immediately felt relieved. After all, they were the family of a county magnate. At this time, they had two second-level monks and more than ten first-level monks, as well as many defenders who were biased towards them. They just wanted to delay them.
It was quite easy for a while.
Looking at Xu You and others with calm faces, Xu Fan laughed: "I already learned about your plan a few days ago. Do you think you have a chance to make it happen today?"
At this time, Tian Yu was naturally guarding the city gate. As for the rebels and Xu family members inside the checkpoint, he was naturally the master to deal with them.
Tonight's action really frightened him. There were more than 10,000 defenders in Lingguan, but the Xu family actually directly mobilized more than 2,000 people. This was because he had recently replaced direct descendants of the Xu family in some important positions.
At this time, he could only be glad that he was prepared.
When Xu You heard this, he stopped talking nonsense and directly led the soldiers behind him to fight with the defenders.
Originally, both sides were defenders, and even though the defenders who favored Xu You had signs on their bodies, it was still difficult to distinguish due to the lighting, so the situation on the field became increasingly chaotic.
Seeing this, Xu Fan jumped directly into the field, brandishing the spear in his hand, and rushed towards Xu You and others. He lightly picked up the spear along the way, and by the time he got in front of Xu You and others, he had stabbed dozens of people to death.
…
On the other side, at the city gate, Tian Yu led the Lantai warriors to guard the place tightly. Behind him were several lieutenants, and one of them was Xu Fan's confidant.
He was at the pinnacle of his realm and was trusted by Xu Fan. This time he was sent by Xu Fan to guard the city gate with him.
"Could it be that another team of the Xu family knew that Xu You and the others were ambushed, so they retreated immediately, and they haven't even come yet?" Thinking of this, he felt a little disdainful.
They didn't do it sooner or later than surrendering to the enemy, but they waited until Nanyu Pass was breached and they were prepared.
At this moment, a dagger suddenly pierced his back and pierced his heart directly.
Tian Yu looked back and knocked back the attacker behind him with a sword. Then, protected by several guards around him, he looked at the attacker in shock.
It was the person from the Xu family who was regarded as a confidant by Xu Fan: "Xu Heng, why is it you?"
"General, I'm sorry!" Xu Heng took a deep breath and said.
His wife, sons and daughters were all held in Xu You's hands, and Xu Heng had to help Xu You and others open the city gate.
At this time, the person guarding the agency responsible for controlling the opening and closing of the city gate has been replaced.
"Boom, boom, boom!" The thick city gate kept opening.
"Quickly, go and close the city gate!" Tian Yu felt the feeling of weakness coming from his body, and knew that there might be some powerful poison in this dagger, and even he, a monk in the second level of Life Path, was affected.
Originally, based on the strength comparison between the two sides at the city gate, the defenders could easily close the city gate again.
But at this moment, Chen Hongyu and others rushed over. Several second-level monks attacked with all their strength, and the city gate that was not protected by formations was directly smashed into pieces.
Chen Hongyu and others did not go in. They first guarded the city gate and fought with the defenders, sharing the pressure on the Xu family monks and the defenders who favored them.
Not long after, there was a huge movement in the night outside the city wall, but the frontier army had already arrived.
As the army entered the city, Chen Hongyu entered the city with confidence and began to lead the border troops to fight with the defenders inside the pass.
Except for the 500 Lantai warriors and a few disciples of Lu Zhiying, the rest of the Seven Killers were nothing but chickens and dogs in front of the border troops.
Under the offensive of these frontier soldiers, the defenders with Xu family members holding them back were retreating steadily.
In this battle, Lingguan has been defeated, and Bajun behind Lingguan is already within reach for Daqian.
