Zhang Shichao, the guard at the east gate of the imperial capital, yawned and looked boredly at the Northern Xinjiang Army and the Hua-Zhejiang Army below who were fighting to death. The warm sunlight shining on his body made him feel a little tired and sleepy.
"General, the situation seems to be bad." A deputy general suddenly said.
"Huh?" The sleepy Zhang Shichao rubbed his eyes and looked below the tower. His originally confused mind suddenly sobered up.
Just as Duguhao, the governor of Huazhe and Zhejiang, said, in order to contain Xiao Wuhen's army, Leng Qianqiu sent many masters to Yu Xuanji's Zhenbei Army, which led to the decline in the strength of his private army in the governor's office.
Facing the fierce offensive of Dugu Shang, the "Dragon of the East China Sea", the Northern Xinjiang Army showed faint signs of defeat.
"Then support the Northern Xinjiang Army." Zhang Shichao turned to the deputy general and ordered, "Shoot in the direction of the Hua-Zhejiang Army!"
"yes!"
A hail of arrows that were not very careless rained down from the top of the city, generally attacking the area where the Hua and Zhejiang armies were located. However, the battlefield was chaotic and long-range attacks could not be very accurate. From time to time, sergeants from Northern Xinjiang were harmed.
Allowing the defenders at the top of the city to get involved like this, although it took some of the pressure off the Northern Xinjiang Army, it also shifted the attention of the "Dragon of the East China Sea" Dugu Shang to the top of the city wall.
"You guys, attack me!" The young hero ranked fourth on the list of heroes shouted to the guards behind him.
The several personal guards behind him were all Heavenly Wheel masters, and they cooperated closely with him. Several of them turned their horses and headed straight for the city gate.
"Ignorant juniors, fighting is not a fight between practitioners. What can a few of these people accomplish?" Zhang Shichao didn't pay too much attention to such a small team, and just said lightly: "Broken Spirit Arrow!"
"General, all the spirit-breaking archers were transferred away by Lian Shangshu in the past few days. They said they were of great use." The deputy general on the side couldn't help but remind him.
"What?" Zhang Shichao said angrily, "Isn't this reasonable? He is of great use, but I am of no great use?"
The deputy general was also speechless about this extremely unreliable coach: "General, this Dugu Shang is known as the 'Dragon of the East China Sea'. He is a well-known expert in China and Zhejiang Province. You must be on guard against him."
"No problem, get my big sword!" Zhang Shichao shouted, "If he dares to attack the city, I will teach him how to come back!"
Four soldiers carried a long-handled sword and swayed in front of Zhang Shichao. Their steps were sloppy, their foreheads were sweating, and they seemed to be struggling.
Zhang Shichao grasped the handle of the knife with one hand and lifted it up. He performed a knife trick easily. The big knife that four people could not carry came into his hand, and it was as light as nothing.
The deputy general looked on and couldn't laugh or cry. He naturally knew that this long-handled sword was not as heavy as it looked. While he admired the acting skills of the four soldiers, he was also troubled by the absurd temper of the general who defended the city.
How come the gap between people is so big despite the same heavenly wheel?
If you weren't the biological brother of the Minister of Punishment...
He looked down at Dugu Shang, who was riding like a thousand horses, advancing to the gate of the city like a broken bamboo, and then at the coach Zhang Shichao beside him, and couldn't help but complain in his heart about the dangers of nepotism.
"Dragon Ladder!" Dugu Shang shouted from below the tower.
Several Tianlun guards following him jumped up from their horses, and their spiritual power manifested into aqua-blue dragons in the air.
What these personal guards practiced was actually the same spiritual skill.
Several dragons are circling in the air, connected end to end, turning into an aqua blue staircase that reaches the top of the city. The dragon's muscular body emits dots of crystal light in the sun, like a blue crystal sculpture, gorgeous and beautiful.
Extremely.
Dugu Shang tapped his toes and, as light as a swallow, stepped on the dragon spiral ladder and jumped all the way up. In just a few breaths, he was close to the top of the city where Zhang Shichao was.
"General, be careful!" The deputy general guarding the city was horrified when he saw this, and shouted repeatedly, "shoot arrows and throw spiritual thunder!"
"Young man with a yellow mouth, why are you afraid of him?" Zhang Shichao, however, was confident that the old god was there and did not panic. "My general, taking his head is like picking something out of a bag."
Even if he wants to take your head, there is no need to search for it!
The lieutenant general was angry at his expression, but he didn't dare to watch him die. He was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, and kept loudly ordering the soldiers to stop Dugu Shang.
At this moment, Dugu Shang was almost about to leap onto the top of the city. He waved his long sword in his hand and a ferocious aqua-blue dragon appeared in the air, circling and flying in front of him, and easily rolled away the arrows he shot.
He didn't even dodge the spiritual thunder thrown from the city, as if he was confident in his luck. He allowed several spiritual thunder to pass by his body, but none of them hit him and he was unscathed.
"You traitor, you are here to die!" Zhang Shichao saw Dugu Shang attacking the city. He was not afraid at all. He actually rushed out of the protective circle of the surrounding soldiers and faced him with a sword.
Those who can serve as the generals of the imperial capital naturally have the cultivation of the heavenly wheel. A yellow shape-shifting spiritual power appeared in the sky and swooped towards the aqua blue dragon in front of Dugu Shang, barking "woof, woof" from his mouth.
.
It turned out to be a rabid dog!
The soldiers at the top of the city hid their faces and lowered their heads, feeling quite ashamed to see others.
They didn't want Zhang Shichao to take action, partly to protect the general, and partly because the general couldn't handle the "Mad Dog Sword Technique" that he had practiced. Compared with the mighty dragon opposite, the mad dog transformed by his spiritual power could not be used.
The image is really the same as the sky and the earth, and the difference cannot be recorded.
Sure enough, the yellow mad dog collided with the aqua blue dragon, and let out a wailing "oow". It was torn apart by the dragon in an instant, and it was unable to resist.
The aqua blue dragon's momentum continued unabated. It raised its head and roared towards Zhang Shichao, the general who defended the city. It exuded a soul-stirring aura, as if it were a terrifying behemoth from ancient times, vowing to devour and tear apart the general who defended the city.
broken.
The city's deputy general and two other Tianlun masters knew something was wrong the moment Zhang Shichao rushed out, and they were already following him. The three of them took action at the same time, and their spiritual power transformed into tigers, lions and evil owls in the air, and they slammed into him.
The aqua blue dragon tried to save the general.
"The dragon goes out to sea!" Dugu Shang was intercepted by three people. There was no fear on his face and he shouted angrily.
A blue light suddenly appeared in the eyes of the spiritual dragon that was originally circling forward. Its thick body twisted nimbly, and actually spread out its snake skin to move. It instantly avoided three spiritual volleys and turned around in the air, roaring.
Continue to rush towards Zhang Shichao.
At this time, even the extremely confident General Zhang Shichao was no longer calm. Seeing the aqua dragon carrying the wind and the remaining clouds, sweeping over the mountains and the ground, he was sweating on his forehead, his face was pale, and the corners of his mouth were trembling: "Save...save...save...
"
Before the words could be spoken, his body was already devoured by the violent dragon.
"ah!!!"
Under the dragon's violent gnawing and tearing movements, the soldiers at the top of the city could only hear Zhang Shichao's pitiful wails and the violent flow of blood, but they could not see his figure through the dragon's water-blue spiritual body.
When the spiritual dragon dispersed, Zhang Shichao himself was nowhere to be seen. There were only armors, broadswords, and countless hair shavings, minced meat and blood foam scattered on the ground. The scene was like a slaughterhouse that had been randomly washed by water.
Unconsciously, I imagined the bloody scene where Jiaolong killed Zhang Shichao just now.
Dugu Shang killed the general guarding the city with one sword, and his morale was high. The four Tianlun guards behind him took advantage of him to attract the attention of the defenders and jumped onto the top of the city.
The five people held swords and killed all the way along the city. Water-blue spiritual dragons were flying all over the sky. The screams and wails of the soldiers kept coming from the city walls. Wherever they passed, corpses lay everywhere and blood flowed like rivers. It was really
He looks around and is invincible.
Seeing that the hundreds of soldiers above the entire city wall were about to be killed by just five people, the deputy general showed helplessness in his eyes. While leading everyone to withdraw from the city wall, he cursed the two superior officials Lian Juecheng and Zhang Shichao in his heart for their mistake.
At this time, Dugu Shang had also noticed the presence of the deputy general. Seeing that he commanded well and led a group of soldiers to retreat in an orderly manner, he knew he was a high-ranking general. He greeted the four guards behind him, and they were like lightning.
Walking like wind, he reached the deputy general in the blink of an eye, stabbed furiously with the long sword in his hand, transformed into a ferocious dragon again, and went straight towards the deputy general.
The combination of pig teammates and divine opponents made the deputy general feel despair. Facing the spiritual dragon charging at him, he smiled bitterly and raised his sword to fight, trying to make a final struggle.
At this moment, a graceful pink figure suddenly flashed in front of the deputy general, and the long sword in his right hand whirled in the air, transforming into a Tai Chi yin and yang diagram the size of a basin, spinning rapidly in a clockwise direction.
The spiritual dragon released by Dugu Shang slammed into the Tai Chi diagram, and actually got into it silently, as if it was not hindered by anything.
At the same time, another Tai Chi yin and yang diagram of the same size but rotating in opposite directions appeared behind the city defenders. The aqua blue dragon emerged from this picture and headed straight for the city wall in front, accompanied by
With a loud "boom", the dragon hit the wall with its head, shattering countless bricks and stones. However, the deputy general and others sandwiched between the two yin and yang pictures were safe and unscathed.
Dugu Shang didn't expect that someone could directly receive his blow, so he stopped suddenly and stared ahead with his eyes warily.
What appeared in front of me was a young woman in her early twenties, with fair skin, a pretty face, and a slim body wrapped in a pink dress. Looking from a distance, her figure was demure and her posture was elegant.
There is a hint of tenderness and charm in her dignified atmosphere, and she is actually a rare and stunning beauty.
However, the most eye-catching thing is her charming eyes.
These eyes are both like a clear spring, clear and translucent, and like the vast starry sky, mysterious and deep.
Just looking at each other, Dugu Shang felt that even his soul was being sucked into her eyes, as if he had read all the beauty in the world in an instant, his soul was cleansed, and even his soul was sublimated.
What a smart woman!
Even a proud person like Dugu Shang couldn't help but admire in his heart.
"Miss Nangong!" The deputy general instantly recognized the identity of the woman in pink.
"Master Zeng." Nangong Ling had already known the identities of the guards of the three city gates. This deputy general turned out to be Zeng Zhiwei, the eldest son of "Midnight General" Zeng Rui and the eldest brother of Zeng Xiaoxian. "Where is General Zhang?"
"Here." Zeng Zhiwei pointed to the minced meat and blood foam on the ground and said with a wry smile, "He has been killed by the rebels."
"How could it be so fast?" Nangong Ling frowned slightly. The situation at the east city gate was obviously beyond her expectation.
From the information coming from the Nangong Family Intelligence Network, she judged that Leng Qianqiu had already led the army to support the east gate. The strength of the two governors of Northern Xinjiang Province and Huazhe Province were not far apart. Plus the Tiger Guards guarding the city gate, regardless of whether
There should never have been such a tragic situation.
"This..." Zeng Zhiwei hesitated. Although he hated Zhang Shichao for being ridiculous, he was too embarrassed to make irresponsible remarks to a dead man.
Nangong Ling didn't wait for him to answer. He looked around with beautiful eyes and quickly understood the situation on the field. He vibrated the long sword in his hand and said calmly: "It's just a matter of repelling these five people."
"Woman, you are crazy." Dugu Shang is not a lustful person. When faced with such stunning beauties as Nangong Ling, his mind remains unwavering, "Do you know who I am?"
"What does it matter if the person who is about to die knows his name or not?" Nangong Ling showed disdain on his face, his delicate pink figure flashed over and disappeared in an instant.
"Miss Nangong, be careful, this person is the fourth on the Daqian Heroes List, the 'Dragon of the East China Sea' Dugu Shang." Zeng Zhiwei was worried that Nangong Ling would underestimate the enemy, so he reminded loudly.
Before he finished speaking, twelve "Nangong Lings" appeared around Dugu Shang and others at the same time, all wearing pink skirts and long swords. At first glance, it was completely impossible to distinguish the authenticity.
What a realistic illusion!
Dugu Shang's pupils were wide open, his heart was shocked, and he felt completely unable to sense which one was his true form.
The "Nangong Lings" looked forward with beautiful eyes, smiled indifferently, and at the same time raised their swords and stabbed the five people in the middle of the encirclement...
