After three hundred years of cultivating immortals, he suddenly discovered that he was a martial arts man Chapter 45 Lightning and thunder, the sky shakes, the torrential rain pours down the river
Chapter 45 Lightning and thunder, the sky shakes, the torrential rain pours down the river
At the same time that King Yan's army in Dachang County set off, a man also came to Juhe County.
Xu Bailu is a Taoist nun who looks to be in her early thirties. She wears a light green Taoist robe with a white deer pattern embroidered on it, a lotus miter on her head, and a long sword on her back. She has a heroic appearance.
Her appearance is extremely beautiful, and she can be said to be the most beautiful woman in the world. Her skin is as white as cream, and her facial features are perfectly matched, especially her eyes, which are extremely bright and have thin and long eyelashes.
Somewhat charming.
However, Xu Bailu's fame in the world is not just because of her beauty, but also because of her own strength.
She is the elder of Yuhua Sword Pavilion, a grand master at the pinnacle of the Xuan Guan Realm. She is only half a step away from the Xiantian Realm. Looking at the entire world, she can be regarded as the leading master.
Known as the "Absolute Sword".
Such characters usually act with a strong personal will.
Therefore, the first thing Xu Bailu did when he came to Juhe County was to go directly to the county government office regardless of Fang Min and Zhou Caiwei's dissuasion.
She wants to see Cui Heng.
"Master, no!" Zhou Caiwei stopped in front of Xu Bailu, "County Cui is the chief official here. If you rush into the county government office like this, it will only lead to a conflict."
"If I don't go find him, this Juhe County town will be surrendered to him." Xu Bailu sneered, "There are only three hundred soldiers in the city, and there is no plan to recruit troops. How can we look like we are defending the city?
"
"This..." Fang Min also advised from the side, "Maybe I am waiting for you, Master, to come and take charge. You can just negotiate with King Yan's army after you come. There is no need..."
"Negotiations also require defending the city to gain time." Xu Bailu raised his hand to interrupt him and said in a deep voice, "I will go to see the county magistrate now and take over all affairs here. We must mobilize the manpower that can be used to defend the city as soon as possible.
, so that we can discuss..."
At this point, she suddenly stopped, her ears moved slightly, and she frowned and said, "Is this the sound of opening the city gate?"
Immediately, Xu Bailu rushed directly outside the house.
"Master!"
"Master!"
Fang Min and Zhou Caiwei also hurriedly followed out.
At this time, the door to Juhe County was indeed opened.
Because the sentries in front have detected the movements of King Yan's army in Dachang County, a large army will arrive soon.
So Cui Heng ordered Monk Huishi to lead his soldiers to organize the victims outside the city to take refuge in the city.
Xu Bailu happened to see this scene.
This made her stunned.
Especially after seeing the smiles on the faces of the victims, Xu Bailu sneered and said, "It seems that the county magistrate named Cui has some conscience and knows to let the victims into the city to avoid being ravaged by the military outside the city."
"Master, this has been decided by Cui Xianzun a long time ago." Zhou Caiwei found that her master's attitude seemed to have softened a little, so she smiled and said, "Cui Xianzun is actually very kind, and he will never surrender.
Dedicated to the city."
Presenting the city and surrendering means leaving the people in the county to be slaughtered and allowed to be plundered and humiliated by the Yan army.
After all, in this era, there is no reason to march without looting. Robbery is not allowed to release desires, and even soldiers cannot be motivated to send troops.
It is impossible for a kind person to do such a thing.
"Being kind does not mean not being naive." Xu Bailu shook his head and said, "Maybe he was lucky and thought that as long as he surrendered and dedicated the city, the people in the city would be saved from the disaster of war.
"But the King of Yan's army was brutal and cruel, and looted countless people along the way. None of the local officials could survive, and the local people would also be robbed and humiliated. Even if they surrendered, there would be no good results."
At this moment, a young man who had just passed in front of them suddenly turned back and ran back.
He raised his hand and pointed at Xu Bailu, his eyes were fierce, and he gritted his teeth and said: "What did you just say? You actually slandered the county minister for surrendering and offering the city. The county minister is a great good man, how could he offer the city!"
It was Zhao Goudan who had just entered the city.
At this time, the third uncle also followed, pulled Zhao Goudan, and said in a low voice: "Goudan, this person's identity is unusual. We have just entered the city, so don't cause trouble."
"No! My life was given by the county magistrate. How could I ignore her when she slandered the magistrate?"
Zhao Goudan stood motionless, staring at Xu Bailu, "Listen, we all escaped from Dachang County. The county magistrate knows very well what Yangou is, and there is absolutely no way he will surrender!
"I will fight tooth and nail for the county magistrate. Even if I shed my last drop of blood, I will never surrender to Yan Gou!"
His words immediately resonated with countless victims, who started shouting loudly.
"I will shed my last drop of blood for the county magistrate and never surrender to Yan Gou!"
"I will shed my last drop of blood for the county magistrate and never surrender to Yan Gou!"
The loud cries of these victims also infected the local soldiers and civilians in the city.
Originally they were still scared because the war was about to break out, but now they felt their blood was boiling.
At the same time, they all realized that the property and land they now owned were all divided by the county magistrates. If King Yan's army broke through the city, they would probably lose everything.
"I will shed my last drop of blood for the county magistrate and never surrender to Yan Gou!"
"I will shed my last drop of blood for the county magistrate and never surrender to Yan Gou!"
…
For a time, the sound in Juhe County was soaring, and the fighting spirit was in the sky.
This surprised Xu Bailu, who asked in surprise: "Is this County Magistrate Cui so popular among the people?"
Now, she has no intention of taking over the affairs of Juhe County by force.
Because she knew very well that she could never match Cui Heng in mobilizing people's opinions.
Maybe Bailu was very confused.
Since we have such popular support, why not organize people to defend the city?
As long as you organize the manpower and hold on for a while, there is absolutely no problem in buying time for negotiations.
She suddenly developed a strong curiosity about Cui Heng and wanted to have a good chat with Cui Heng and ask him what he really thought.
Bang bang bang!
At this time, everyone suddenly felt that the ground beneath their feet was shaking, and the shaking feeling was getting stronger and closer.
"It's Yangou's army! Yangou's army is coming! This is the sound of their cavalry's hooves!" Some victims from Dachang County exclaimed. This sound and vibration was the beginning of their nightmare, and they will never forget it until they die.
Hearing this voice, many people who had been so excited just now and wanted to shed the last drop of blood suddenly became cold all over. Scenes of horrific scenes flashed through their minds, and their bodies began to tremble involuntarily.
Fear began to spread.
At this moment, another exclamation came from the front.
"Your Majesty, the County Lord, has climbed up to the city gate tower! Your Lord, the County Lord, is going to defend the city himself!!"
This news immediately caused a huge sensation.
"Folks, let's go! Let's go to the city gate, help the county guard the city, and kill the swallows and dogs!" Someone shouted, and immediately there was a response, and immediately many victims who had just entered the city to avoid the disaster followed.
Even among the people who had just been frightened, many gritted their teeth and followed.
Zhao Goudan was the first to follow.
The third uncle followed without hesitation.
Xu Bailu fell into silence looking at the huge crowd. After a while, she suddenly said to Fang Min and Zhou Caiwei: "Let's go over and see how this Cui County Master defends the city."
…
How does it feel to watch an army of 50,000 people galloping towards you?
fear!
Unprecedented fear.
Including Qi Condensation Realm masters like Lu Zhengming and Hui Shi, as well as all the soldiers who climbed onto the city wall to participate in the defense, they all felt a sense of fear coming from the bottom of their hearts.
Facing an army of 50,000, one person's strength is too small and insignificant.
Whether it is condensing qi, or transforming qi, or even the Xuan Guan realm, or even the innate grand master, they are all insignificant in the face of the absolute numerical advantage.
As for the people who came to help defend the city, they climbed onto the city wall under the leadership of the soldiers. After seeing the scene of fifty thousand troops galloping towards them, they were so frightened that their legs became weak.
Xu Bailu also brought Fang Min and Zhou Caiwei to the city wall, led by Zhao Guang, and was not blocked.
After seeing the situation on the city wall, she realized that she had been a little optimistic before.
Even if the manpower is really organized, I'm afraid it will be of little use. Facing the impact of 50,000 troops, the common people without professional training simply cannot bear such fear.
How can we defend the city?
I'm afraid I don't even have a chance to negotiate!
Xu Bailu looked at Cui Heng who was standing at the front again.
Cui Heng's youth surprised Xu Bailu.
What surprised her even more was that the Juhe County Magistrate actually had a confident smile on his face.
"Where does he get his confidence?" Xu Bailu was puzzled. This was almost a certain death situation.
"County Lord, what should we do now?" Zhao Guang couldn't help but ask in a low voice. This question immediately attracted everyone's attention.
Lu Zhengming and Monk Hui Shi also looked over.
Although they have all seen Cui Heng's magical methods, especially Hui Shi, they have seen Cui Heng's ability to ignite the magic flame, but at this time, they still want to know what Cui Heng wants to do?
After all, I knew in my heart that the sense of oppression brought by the 50,000-strong army was indeed too powerful.
"Bring me a bowl of water." Cui Heng suddenly spoke and said to Zhao Guang.
"Ah? Okay, okay!" Zhao Guang quickly turned around to pour some water, but he was confused as to what Cui Heng was going to do.
The others also looked confused.
Clear water?
What should I do with clear water at this time?
…
Thousands of horses are galloping, sand and dust are flying, it’s so majestic!
At this moment, leader Wang Shun had led an army of 50,000 to a place less than three miles away from Juhe County.
Following him were Wei Cun, the master of the left chamber, and Yan Sheng, the master of the right chamber.
Wang Shun glanced at the city wall in front of him, laughed loudly and said: "This city wall is so low, I'm afraid it's not even two feet high. I have 50,000 brave men. It probably won't take half a day, and it can be broken within two hours."
City!"
"Haha, you are so humble." Wei Cun said flatteringly: "There is news from Xi Zuo that there are only more than two hundred soldiers in Juhe County. I think they will be able to break the city within an hour!"
"It's Cui Heng. He's on the city wall. He's here to defend the city himself!" Yan Sheng didn't lock the door tightly, which was incompatible with the painting style of the other two people. "Xingzhi, this person..."
"This person is extraordinary, we must be careful, right?" Wang Shun interrupted Yan Sheng with a sneer and said disdainfully, "I'm so damn tired of hearing this!
"It's really a waste of time for you to ask Zen Master Dekong to help you recover your cultivation, but the grand master turned into a frightened waste. You are not allowed to speak from now on. Just follow my order and beat him!"
"Master Yan, you are really..." Wei Cun shook his head and said with a smile, "What a waste!"
"You!" Yan Sheng was furious, and when he saw Cui Heng on the city wall in the distance, he couldn't help but feel a strong sense of panic in his heart, as if a disaster was about to happen.
"My sons! Charge! Follow me and break the city!" Wang Shun had already shouted loudly and ordered the flag officer to issue a flag for the entire army to charge.
He wants to break through the city gate in one fell swoop!
…
On the city wall of Juhe County, everyone saw the 50,000-strong army beginning to charge, and the panic and fear in their hearts suddenly became a little heavier.
"You can get ready, and then go out of the city to capture the prisoners." But at this moment, Cui Heng suddenly said something that no one could understand.
However, they soon understood.
I saw Cui Heng raising his hand to lift the bowl of water he just came for, flicking it with his hand, and scattering it towards the sky.
The crystal water droplets scattered all over the sky, but not a single one fell down. Instead, they all seemed to be pulled by some strange force, flying up into the sky and submerging into the clouds.
At the same time, outside Juhe County, there was a sudden strong wind, flying sand and rocks, the sky was dark, the sun and the moon were dark, and there was no light.
Immediately afterwards——
Rumble!
Lightning flashed and thundered, the sky shook and the earth shook, and torrential rain poured down from the sky and the river poured down!
It was like a doomsday natural disaster had come to King Yan's army.
