Chapter 180: The Decisive Battle in Longdu (Part 8)
"Your Majesty, it's great that you are fine."
Song Hanxing and Dai Binglong were overjoyed to see Liu Xia.
"What's going on in the Valley of the Kings right now?"
Liu Xia asked.
"Your Majesty is wise, this Valley of the Kings is indeed a rebel stronghold. When we arrived here from Xuanwu Terrace, their army had already set off."
Song Hanxing said.
"How many people are there in the Valley of the Kings?"
Liu Xia asked.
"Back to your lord, the Valley of the Kings is now tightly guarded. We tried to sneak in several times, but we were all discovered."[
Liu Liansheng said helplessly.
At this time, Dabao and Caiwei also arrived.
After the two people got off their horses, Dabao said excitedly: "Caiwei and I got inside. There should have been a mutiny in the Valley of the Kings last night. Many people died. When Caiwei and I went in, we saw the square in front of the mausoleum.
, they are all corpses. Corpses are scattered everywhere.”
At this moment, Liu Xia looked back at the general of the Tiger Guard, wanting to get some news from him.
"Your Majesty, we were ordered to move out of the Valley of the Kings three days ago. General Mo has no idea what happened inside."
At this time, the general of the Tiger Guard shook his head and said.
"How many troops are there in the Valley of the Kings?"
Liu Xia asked.
"The general has little contact with the garrison in the Valley of the Kings, but judging from their supply convoy, there should be between 40,000 and 50,000 people."
The general of the Tiger Guard said.
"They brought less than 20,000 people to attack the city. Even if there was a rebellion last night, half of them would not be dead. This means that there are at least 5,000 to 10,000 enemies hiding in the Valley of the Kings.
.According to common sense, it is meaningless for them to stay in the Valley of the Kings after their rebellion has been successful. The only explanation is that there is something worth staying here for them."
Liu Xia smiled coldly.
"Then the prince means that the nest of bloodthirsty Gu insects is hidden here?"
the Tiger Guard general asked.
"Yes, it will take a while for the Tiankui Guards to arrive. Let's go in first. It will be dark soon, and I believe the enemy will take action. Our time is limited. Charge!" [
Having said this, the Tiger Guards began to line up.
With an order, the Tiger Guards immediately charged towards the Valley of the Kings.
He entered the Valley of the Kings, and sure enough, the enemy was at the door and set up fortifications.
Liu Xia led his men and charged at the front. Without any explanation, Liu Xia jumped up, spread out his Xuantian wings and flew into the air.
"Zhang Zong, follow me to knock down this barrier."
Liu Xia roared in mid-air.
"yes!"
At that moment, Liu Xia's handprints flew, and he instantly launched the Heaven-Subverting Technique, crashing into the opponent's position like a firebird.
"boom!"
With a loud noise, a mushroom cloud immediately rose into the sky over the opponent's position, and countless defenders were instantly blown away.
Immediately afterwards, dozens of fire dragons descended from the sky and landed on the enemy's barrier.
There was a loud noise, and the heaven and earth shook.
The gate to the Valley of the Kings was immediately blasted open.
The Tiger Guards then arrived, and the disgraced defensive guards had just gotten up in embarrassment when they were immediately knocked to pieces by the Tiger Guards' charge.
"Go ahead and leave them alone."
Liu Xia shouted loudly.
The Tiger Guard immediately gave up the fight and just rushed forward.
The enemy had prepared less than 1,500 men at the entrance of the Valley of the Kings. They lost their fortifications and could not compete with the Tiger Guards.
After throwing off the enemy, the Tiger Guard army continued to advance rapidly.
At this moment, large numbers of enemies poured out from the emperor's tomb and rushed towards the Tiger Guard.
Liu Xia finally relaxed after seeing this scene.
From the number of enemies left behind to the fact that they are now trying to prevent the Tiger Guards from entering the emperor's tomb at all costs, it is obvious that there is some ulterior purpose there.
The Tiger Guard is now held back by the enemy's defensive army and is fighting fiercely with the enemy.
This wave of enemies obviously received a death order to defend the Valley of the Kings at all costs.
Seeing a cavalry armed to the teeth like the Tiger Guards dare to organize a charge, it can be seen that they are also desperate and the purpose is to delay time.
"Your Majesty, the Tiankui Guards have arrived."
At this time, Zhang Zong was suspended in the sky, pointing at the Tiankui Guards flag in the distance, and shouted excitedly.
"Go and inform Ling Xiao right away, asking him to take the Valley of the Kings at all costs. I'll go inside and check out the situation."
After saying that, Liu Xiaxuan's sky wings suddenly flew and disappeared in an instant.
The enemy seemed to have taken away all the masters, and there was no spiritual master. Therefore, Liu Xia had no obstacles along the way.
Effortlessly, he landed in the emperor's tomb.
There are undulating mountains on both sides of the Valley of the Kings. On one side are the imperial mausoleums of the Daqing Dynasty, and on the other side are the imperial mausoleums of the Tianji Dynasty.
Liu Xia saw in mid-air that there were many garrisons in Tailing, Changling and Maoling, the imperial mausoleums of the Tianji Dynasty.
These three mausoleums are the mausoleums of several important emperors in the Tianji Dynasty, and they are large in scale.
Tailing in particular is the tomb of the ancestors of the Duan family. It has been repaired for more than three hundred years and is three times the size of other tombs.
Liu Xia didn't say anything, so he fell into Tailing first. Immediately, the defenders stationed in a reasonable position rushed towards Liu Xia.
Liu Xia held Tianquan in his hand, ran into the crowd, and immediately started killing.
Today's Liu Xia, with his level of cultivation, is no match for ordinary soldiers.
In an instant, leaving a pile of corpses behind him, Liu Xia rushed into the temple of Tailing.
When he entered the temple gate, Liu Xia was stunned by the sight in front of him.
The statues and plaques previously enshrined in the temple were gone, and what was replaced was a huge insect nest.
They established a seal around the temple so that the insects could not get out for the time being. Once they received the order and the seal was opened, these insects would probably destroy everything here in an instant.
An insect nest of this size can release tens of millions of Gu insects, and in the entire Tailing, God knows how many insect nests there are?
Seeing this, Liu Xia fluttered his wings and flew towards the Tiankui Guard army.
At this moment, Duan Lingxiao arrived with his army and immediately exchanged fire with the Imperial Valley defenders.
The Tiankui Guard army was large in number, with thousands of soldiers and horses, and with the help of the Tiger Guard, it was as if it was overwhelming and destroyed the defenders, leaving no trace behind.
After Liu Xia landed, Tiankui Guards had already begun to clean up the battlefield.
"As expected, the insect nest is here. Immediately order your people to disperse and search for the insect nest with colorful roar blood. Don't let anyone go. Hurry!"
Liu Xia shouted.
Duan Lingxiao knew how terrible this thing was and immediately began to issue orders.
The Tiankui guards immediately dispersed and ran towards the emperor's mausoleum.
After arriving at Tailing, after a brief exchange of fire with the enemy, they captured Tailing and began a carpet-like search for the insect nest.
After seeing the insect nest and breaking the seal, he sprayed the insect nest with a large amount of colorful blood.
Start destroying the bloodthirsty Gu insects in the nest.
Fortunately, they have not established the insect nest for a long time, and it is far less scary than the Black Wind Stronghold.
Seeing the insect nests being destroyed one by one, Liu Xia finally breathed a sigh of relief.
At this moment, stars were twinkling in the sky, and it was already night.
"Lingxiao, leave 10,000 people and continue to clean up the insect nest. The remaining people gather, we can go to rescue Longdu. Kill the enemy reinforcements, and the storm in Longdu will come to an end."
Liu Xia said tiredly.
————————————————————————
“Dong dong dong dong…!”
The sound of war drums echoed throughout the sky all day long.
"Boom boom boom boom!"
A series of dense explosions echoed one after another on the walls of Longdu.
Under the enemy's intensive artillery offensive, the Song family's army could only endure it for the time being.
The enemy was not ready to launch an attack, and seemed to be waiting for something.
Song Tianyou and other generals were crawling on the ground to avoid the baptism of artillery fire.
"Master, why don't they charge?"
A staff member asked in confusion.
Song Tianyou was a little confused at this moment. It seemed that the enemy was not in a hurry to attack the city, but kept suppressing it with firepower without charging. Did they expect to use these artillery pieces to capture Longdu City?
Song Tianyou instinctively felt that there must be something fishy in this.
After a quarter of an hour, the artillery stopped.
Everyone got up from the ground in disgrace.
Song Tianyou dusted himself off and couldn't help but look towards the bottom of the city.
At this moment, the moon is already hanging high in the sky.
"Is the enemy planning a sneak attack?"
Song Tianyou thought about it in his heart.
"Master, something serious has happened. A pair of unidentified people are coming to kill us. The number is about four thousand, and there is a terrifying master among them. Our people can't resist it."
At this time, a general covered in blood ran up to Song Tianyou and said.
"What?"
Song Tianyou hurriedly ran to the other side of the city wall and couldn't help but be stunned.
At the other end of the street leading to the city wall, I saw a group of people fighting.
Some of them were wearing golden armor and looked like the honor guard of the royal palace.
However, the emperor's honor guard has been taken out, and this team must belong to Princess Chang'an.
Because, in the Tianji Dynasty, only Princess Chang'an has this honor.
The Song family had many soldiers, so Princess Chang'an was not something to be afraid of. However, Song Tianyou also saw a black-clothed master among the crowd. He was killing people and destroying the dead. He was truly invincible.
"Let's go and have a look."
At that moment, Song Tianyou led a group of generals down the city wall.
Anyway, those people outside the enemy's city have absolutely no hope of capturing Longdu.
When he got there, Song Tianyou saw corpses on the ground, with blood flowing like rivers.
"stop!"
Immediately, Song Tianyou roared angrily, and both sides who were fighting stopped one after another.
At this time, the Song family's troops dragged the wounded brothers back, but the other party did not pursue them, but instead gave way to a main road.
At this time, more than thirty people appeared in front of the crowd carrying a golden card.
"Master Song, long time no see, don't be ill."
Princess Chang'an, who was sitting on the pedestal, smiled coldly.
"Eldest Princess, if you lead someone to break into the city gate privately, what will you do to me?"
Song Tianyou said angrily.
"Master Song, at this moment, don't you understand what happened? I advise you to obey God's will and open the city gate to let my troops in. Otherwise, you and your army will die in an ugly way."
The eldest princess smiled disdainfully.
"Hahahaha, do you think I am a three-year-old child? With your skills, even if I open the city gate and let them in, do you think you can stabilize the situation in Longdu? You should put down your weapons if you are wise.
Wait for His Majesty to return and wait for His Majesty's disposal."
Song Tianyou smiled disdainfully.
"Stop dreaming. His Majesty has passed away outside the city today. According to His Majesty's will, I will help the second prince to ascend the throne. If you stop it again, you will be treasonous."
The eldest princess stood up and said with a sweet smile.
