Just when Guo Jing was about to reach the top, suddenly a hidden arrow struck from the army in the distance.
The power attached to this arrow is extremely sharp.
Guo Jing's skill in climbing the ladder to heaven is different from Yang Qingyuan's skill in climbing the ladder to heaven. It is a unique skill of the Quanzhen sect. It is a martial arts passed down to Guo Jing by Ma Yu, the son of Danyang. It's just that Guo Jing practiced this martial arts better than Ma Yu.
But in essence it is still the Jin Yan Gong that was born out of the Quanzhen Sect.
Yang Qingyuan's Ascending Heaven Step combines light skills such as Wudang Ladder's Cloud Movement and Kunlun's Yunlong Nine Appearances, which can change directions in the air and lead in the void.
The skill of "going up the ladder to heaven" was all about jumping up in one breath. As long as there was a slight interruption in the middle, he breathed a sigh of relief, and he could not go up again after the third step.
The magic archer hidden in the secret is Houjin's magic arrow, Guo Xia Toad.
He was also surprised to see Guo Jing's magical skills, but everyone who practices martial arts knows that masters use moves, and those who are not good at light skills should avoid flying in the air for a long time.
There is nowhere to rely on in mid-air, and once attacked, it will be difficult to escape.
Guo Xiabao's idea hit the dead end of the ladder to heaven by accident.
Guo Jing heard the sound of arrows piercing the air behind him and thought to himself that it was not good.
While turning his body, he swung out a palm with his backhand, and the palm force came out with majestic force, or he jumped into the abyss.
This sneak attack, including the arrowhead made of fine iron, was shattered to pieces by Guo Jing's palm.
When the people on the city wall saw this scene, they immediately cheered.
With such power, Jinyang City must be as stable as Mount Tai.
Amidst the cheers of the crowd, Guo Jing's momentum of climbing up the ladder was interrupted, and his body sank slightly. Although he was only a few feet away from the top of the city, he could no longer go up.
While everyone on the city wall was in a daze, Xiang Shoucheng endured the pain of being hit by an arrow and threw a hemp rope towards Guo Jing.
Guo Jing was about to fall when he saw a rope flying towards him and immediately caught the rope with his true energy.
Just when everyone thought Guo Jing could ascend the city, in the darkness, a second arrow was shot again.
Xiang Shoucheng on the side immediately realized that the torches on the city wall would expose Guo Jing's target and make him a living target.
"Extinguish the torches and launch rockets! Suppress the enemy!"
Guo Toad's second arrow broke the rope in Guo Jing's hand in the darkness.
However, it failed to produce the effect he expected. At the moment when the rope broke, Guo Jing leaned on the city wall with his toes and raised his body again.
Seeing this, Guo Toad in the distance shot another arrow.
Guo Jing's spiritual sense in the Dongxuan realm has already felt the arrows a hundred steps away.
As soon as he stepped on the city wall with his left foot, he took a shot of his true energy and snatched a strong bow from the defenders. He stretched his ape arms, bent the bow to the full moon, listened to the sound to identify the position, and shot an arrow.
In the rain of arrows that filled the sky, an arrow shot by Guo Jing collided with the hidden arrow shot by Guo Toad in the air.
Guo Jing's arrow actually split Guo Toad's arrow in two.
This arrow did not stop its attack. Although its original trajectory was affected by cutting open the arrow, it still penetrated four armored cavalry in a row.
Just when Guo Xiatuo reacted and was about to fight back, a sudden strong wind blew, and with a clang, the sacred eagle bow in his hand was broken.
Guo Jing is a master of the Dongxuan Realm, far superior to Guo Xia Toad in martial arts, and when he was young, he was taught by Zhe Bie, the best archer in Daqian.
Although Zhebie is known as the best in Daqian, the Yuanmeng people are already good at riding and shooting. Even the ancient archers Yang Youji and Huang Zhong may not be able to beat him.
It is not an exaggeration to say that the archery skills are the best in the world. With such a person's guidance, the young Guo Jing can kill two birds with one stone when he has not yet mastered martial arts, let alone Guo Daxia who has now reached the cave.
Even if he is the best archer in Dali Temple, Zhang Muqing's archery skills are not enough in front of Guo Jing!
Guo Jing is not only a warrior in the Dongxuan Realm, but also an archer in the Dongxuan Realm.
Just now he fired three arrows in a row, the first arrow split the arrow and killed the enemy, the second arrow broke the bow to show his power, but the third arrow was aimed at the Mohe military flag in the darkness.
When the sneak attack failed and turned into a strong attack, Mohe's army had already displayed the Chinese flag, intending to take advantage of the Zhou army's city gate failure to attack Beijingmen.
However, Guo Jing shot the Great Banner 800 steps away and cut off its cord, causing the Great Banner to fall to the ground.
Under the city wall, the Mohe cavalry remained silent, while above the city wall, the Zhou army cheered loudly.
Seeing that Guo Jing was so powerful and the morale of his own army was low, the commander of the army knew that there would be no results if he continued to fight, so he immediately sent an order to retreat.
Zhou Jun looked at the Mohe army retreating like a tide, and shouted loudly, "Mighty! Mighty! Mighty!"
A catastrophic disaster that destroyed the city was eliminated invisible with the joint efforts of several people.
In this battle, only two hundred people were killed by the Zhou army, and a hundred people were injured by Mohe's arrows.
On Mohe's side, only over 600 people were killed.
But tonight's battle is indeed the most thrilling battle for Zhou's army among the consecutive days of battles, and it is also the battle where Mohe's army has the best chance of breaking the city.
If tonight is missed, the Mohe army will never have such an opportunity to defeat the city with internal support.
After what happened this time, Yu Yanyi will definitely strengthen the defense in the city. Xuanwu's Jin Yiwei is not a vegetarian. He is determined to thoroughly investigate the city's generals. The trick of traitors is no longer feasible.
After the battle was over, everyone on the Zhou army on the city wall breathed a sigh of relief as they watched the Mohe cavalry retreat with their own eyes.
Xiang Shoucheng's string that had been tight at this moment also relaxed, and he realized that his father, who had always protected him from wind and rain, had now sacrificed his life for the country.
Xiang Ming burned the last of his energy and blood, used his life to rekindle the fighting power of the Yuanhua Realm, fought tooth and nail to protect the defense line of Jinyang City, and finally died together with a Yuanhua Realm general from Mohe.
Xiang Ming and Chen An are both positive and negative, they are two extremes.
For the sake of his own future and wealth, he can betray the Zhou Dynasty and a whole city of soldiers.
The other sacrificed his life in order to protect the last line of defense in the northern border of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Guo Jing looked at the suddenly deceased Xiang Ming and the secretly sad Xiang Shoucheng on the ground, sighed softly, and walked to Xiang Shoucheng's side.
"Xiang Xiaowei, Guo is poor at words and doesn't know what to say, but your father died fighting for the country and died with a smile on his face. Most of his heart is forgiving."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Xiang Shoucheng thought of his father and died laughing after killing Mohe general's disciple Shan Lieming.
Compared to his father who had been in the capital and feasting all day long, he was now more cheerful when he died in battle.
"Thank you, Mr. Guo, for your comfort. I understand!"
Xiang Shoucheng, who witnessed his father's death in battle, seemed to have grown and transformed in a short period of time, losing his youthful impetuousness and becoming more stable.
After Xiang Shoucheng stood up, he came to the front of his father's remains, knelt down again, and kowtowed heavily on the ground nine times.
Then he stood up and held Fang Tian's painted halberd that was lying quietly beside Xiang Ming. It was a painted halberd imitating King Xiang's Tianlong city-breaking halberd. It is also an heirloom weapon of the Xiang family.
After taking over the Fang Tianji, the responsibility of the Xiang family fell on Xiang Shoucheng.
"Dad! Look after your spirit in heaven! I will use this painted halberd to regain the prestige of my Xiang clan!"
Xiang Shoucheng's eyes seemed to be beating with the light of fierce flames. People's transformation and growth sometimes only takes a moment.
-------------------
The main camp of the Mohe army and the main tent of the Chinese army.
"My slave's plan was poor, please forgive me, Your Majesty!"
Wu Qianqiu knelt in front of Prince Qing Nurhaqa and called him a slave.
But to Wu Qianqiu's expectation, Nur Haqi did not blame him.
"What are you talking about, Governor Wu? You are a great hero who has served me. If Governor Wu hadn't abandoned the secrets and surrendered to the bright side, how could I have taken over the counties in Jizhou so easily?!"
"Moreover, although we failed to capture Jinyang City today, we still planted a thorn in the hearts of Zhou people, especially in Yu Yanyi's heart!"
Today, Chen An can betray Zhou Dynasty and lure the enemy into the city for the sake of glory and wealth. Then in the future, others may betray his master and surrender to the enemy for more chips.
Nurha said proudly, "Once the seeds of doubt are planted, it will be difficult to remove them. Yu Yanyi will definitely go to war in Jinyang City for this matter. You and I are both leading the army. Naturally, we know that once
If a general does not have the trust of his commander, even if Guan Zhang is alive and Fan Guan is reborn, he will not be able to win the battle! And all this is due to Governor Wu!"
In Nur Haqi's view, this is a conspiracy.
It would be great if we could capture Jinyang in one battle. If we couldn't, we could demoralize Jinyang's army and greatly reduce its combat effectiveness.
Feeling proud, Nur Haqi personally stepped down from the main seat, acted like a polite corporal, and helped Wu Qianqiu up.
"I hereby promise to cast an iron coupon with an elixir and give it to Governor Wu. No matter how he is convicted later, Governor Wu will be exempted from death for nine times! If we violate this oath, my Nurha clan will be destroyed by heaven and earth!"
Wu Qianqiu, who had just been lifted up, was surprised. Nur Haqi's oath was not unimportant. Although the iron certificate of the alchemy book had been lost by Taizu, Nurhaqi was not Taizu, so he issued the oath again.
Wu Qianqiu was immediately convinced by such a heavy oath.
Moreover, Wu Qianqiu also understood the meaning of Nur Haqa's words from what he just said.
Not just anyone can give out the Iron Coupon of the Alchemy Book. There is only one person in Houjin who has the authority to issue this type of iron coupon to avoid death - and that is the king of Houjin.
Even if Nurhaqi takes charge of the Queen's government as a prince at this moment, he is not qualified to issue it.
According to the laws of the Later Jin Dynasty, please refer to the laws of the Zhou Dynasty for details. Princes who break the law must still be held accountable.
The iron certificate of the elixir to avoid death is actually a product that overrides the laws of the Later Jin Dynasty, and in terms of legal principles, the only person who can override the laws is the Lord of the Later Jin Dynasty.
When Nur Haqi made his promise to Wu Qianqiu just now, although he used the word "gift", he had no intention of asking for instructions from the Lord of the Later Jin Dynasty. His ambition was clearly revealed.
"I, the king, would like to ask you to call me Qianqiu!"
Wu Qianqiu looked overjoyed and said, "Thank you so much, Your Majesty."
"Qianqiu, I wonder if you would like to join my Eight Banners?" Nur Haqi asked tentatively.
"What does the prince mean!?" Wu Qianqiu didn't quite understand what Nurha Qi meant.
"I plan to add the Eight Banners of the Zhou Army to the Eight Banners of Mohe, specially prepared for loyal and loyal people like you. If you join the Eight Banners of Mohe, you will not be a Zhou person! You will be my confidant!"
At this moment, because Nurhaji has the power of Houjin, the Mohe people who have attached themselves to Nurhaji are getting stronger and stronger, and the original Eight Banners can no longer meet Nurhaji's needs.
Moreover, during this campaign, there were Zhou generals like Wu Qianqiu who brought the Zhou people back to surrender, so Nur Haqi naturally hoped to incorporate them into his private army.
In the previous political confrontation, in order to obtain the power of regency, Nurhaji promised to only control the military power of the Eight Banners and the existing military power of Mohe, and would never continue to seize power.
Although he also feels that his words are not credible, his reputation has not yet reached the point where he can suppress all opposition voices in Houjin's country, and he also needs a fig leaf to block his blatant seizure of power.
If these Zhou people cannot join the banner, they cannot legitimately use it as their own private force, which is also a troublesome matter.
That's why Nur Haqi came up with the method of Zhou Jun's Eight Banners to set up an Eight Banners branch.
If an Eight Banners branch is established, then these Zhou people will naturally belong to his private power.
Looking at Nurha's smiling eyes, Wu Qianqiu knew that he was going to express his stance!
Now that you have chosen this path, you can't look back. If Nurhaqi really conquers the world, then he will be the most powerful person in Zhou Dynasty.
"This slave is willing to die for the prince!"
"Okay! Okay! Okay!" Nurha shouted, and then laughed and said, "Hahaha! Qianqiu is indeed loyal to me! Today, I will designate you as the Eight Banners of the Zhou Army, Xianghuang and Zhenghuang.
Lord of the banner, when I conquer the world in the future, I will split the earth and become the king, it will be no problem!"
Nurha said to Wu Qianqiu, "Starting from tomorrow, you will take your soldiers and horses to shave their heads and change into clothes like my Mohe!"
Wu Qianqiu took a look at Nurha's hair style, but in the face of glory and wealth, what is ugliness?!
He gritted his teeth and said, "When I go back tonight, I will urge the army to shave their heads and change their clothes!"
"Hahaha, okay! Qianqiu is indeed loyal!" Then the conversation changed.
As a master, you need to establish your authority while showing kindness. Now Nur Haqi thought that he had already shown kindness and it was time to continue to establish his authority.
"But Qianqiu! Your name is not good!"
"Please express it clearly, Your Majesty!" Wu Qianqiu looked respectful.
"Thousands of years, thousands of generations, this is the name of an emperor! How can ordinary people live forever?! It would be bad if the king of the country thinks that you have rebellious intentions!"
Listening to Nur Haqi's explanation, Wu Qianqiu complained in his heart, isn't it you who has the most rebellious intentions?!
But on the surface, Wu Qianqiu remained humble and respectful.
"My slave is brave, please give me your name by your Majesty!"
But even though he said that, Wu Qianqiu has no hope at all for Nur Haq's cultural level. I hope it doesn't sound too unpleasant!
Nur Haqi thought for a moment before speaking.
"Although I cannot protect you for eternity, within three generations, no matter what faults you and your descendants have, I can protect you from losing your glory and wealth. Then you can be called the Three Nobles!"
Wu Qianqiu, after hearing this, said in his heart that indeed, one should not have any hope for Nur Haq's cultural level, but the connotation of wealth in these three generations is quite good.
Moreover, the name Sangui sounded quite easy to pronounce. He immediately knelt down and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for giving me the name. From now on, my slave will be named Wu Sangui!"
Yu Yanyi couldn't help but sigh after hearing the whole process of the Battle of Beijingmen, especially when he heard that Xiang Ming stood up to thousands of cavalry alone and sacrificed his life to serve the country.
"Although Xiang Pengcheng made a big mistake in the water transportation matter, he is worthy of being the son of Pengcheng Bo Xiang Chong. He is brave and upright, and he is his father. I would like to petition the court to restore the title of the Xiang family to comfort
Xiang Pengcheng’s spirit is in heaven!”
Yu Yanyi not only said this from his heart, but also said it to the generals around him.
People like Xiang Ming who have been convicted of crimes and whose titles have been stripped of their titles can be restored because of their military exploits. If you serve the imperial court, the imperial court will naturally reward you one by one for your meritorious service.
"And this Chen An is a disgrace to our general in the Great Zhou Dynasty. He actually colluded with foreign enemies, tried to open the city gate, and killed 100,000 soldiers in Jinyang City, without caring about the life and death of millions of people. This person has committed a heinous crime!
Where now?!"
Taking charge of the defense of Beijingmen tonight, Guo Jing said, "The rebel general Chen An has been captured by Colonel Xiang Shoucheng, the son of General Xiang Ming, and is waiting to be punished!"
"That's right, Xiang Pengcheng has a successor!"
Yu Yanyi praised him and continued, "This is the governor's order to behead this evil thief who is having liaison with foreign enemies at noon tomorrow. His descendants will not be allowed to take the exam for five generations."
"In addition, Guo Jing made meritorious service in defending the city and was promoted to deputy commander-in-chief of the Jinyang Army, taking charge of the defense of Beijingmen and Beidingmen! Xiang Ming's son Xiang Shoucheng captured thieves and killed the enemy with great military exploits, and became the Zhonglang General of Jinlongwu Army! Xuan Cheng
Grandmaster……"
When Yu Yanyi mentioned Xuan Cheng, he was interrupted by the great monk.
"Supervisor, the monk is an outsider and has no idea about these officials. After retreating from the enemy, the monk still has to go back to the temple to chant sutras?!"
When he was talking about chanting sutras, everyone looked at Xuan Cheng with inexplicable expressions.
Are you serious about chanting sutras?
"If the superintendent wants to reward the great monk, let him reward him with some money, wine and meat! Also, the monk saw that the abbot's cassock was gorgeous, and he was very envious of it. If possible, give him a set of majestic cassocks!" The great monk was very down-to-earth.
Although I don't abstain from meat and fish and like fancy clothes, I dare to say it directly. I don't know how much better than some people who say they are disdainful but long for it in their hearts!
At this moment, everyone in the Commander's Mansion was stunned when they heard this, and couldn't help but laugh.
This is in line with the painting style of the great monk Xuan Cheng.
Seeing this, the King of Chu on the side knew that this was an opportunity to make good friends with Xuancheng, "Even so, there is no need for military orders, sir. On behalf of the court, I will give the great monk a gift of ten thousand taels of silver, and a hundred altars of wine in the palace, and then give it to the great monk."
He is wearing a brocade cassock, which is more gorgeously kept than the cassock of the abbot of your Shaolin Temple!"
Monk Xuancheng was overjoyed when he heard this and said, "Then the Sa family is here, thank you so much, Your Highness!"
After the rewards and punishments, it’s time to get down to business.
In Jinyang City today, there are many old generals from the north. How can we prevent something like this from happening again?!
Regarding this point, Yanyi and Xuanwu discussed this last night and decided on a temporary plan.
As Jin Yiwei, he joined the army to supervise the war and supervise the war.
The Jin Yiwei led by Xuanwu, including the Jin Yiwei who were responsible for protecting Yu Yanyi, were all direct descendants from the capital and were trustworthy people. Having these people serve as military commanders could prevent betrayal by defecting to the enemy in a short period of time.
In fact, it is the establishment of a position in the army with the function of supervising the army.
The role of military supervisor has existed since ancient times. Since the Later Han Dynasty, there have been supervisors representing the emperor in the army. Most of them were eunuchs. They assisted the emperor in controlling the army outside and at the same time restricted the power of the general.
In the former Sui Dynasty, the imperial censor supervised the army, and the same was true in the former Tang Dynasty. They had their own duties and were not officials.
In the former Sui Dynasty and the former Tang Dynasty, censors were used as supervisors of the army. However, this position was temporary and was only established when the army was stationed abroad. It was not permanent.
In the late Tang Dynasty, eunuchs took over power, and the supervisory army changed from censor to eunuch.
In this dynasty, Taizu's instructions prohibited eunuchs from intervening in politics, and the power to supervise the army returned from the eunuchs to the hands of the censor.
Although the Supervisory Army has always appeared in a negative light in Jiang Hu stories, this position is indispensable.
Originally, when Yu Yanyi led the army, there should be supervisors, but Yu Yanyi was a bachelor of Wuyingdian, and he was ordered to be in danger. There should not be a supervisor to restrain him, and few people could really supervise him. Anyway,
You can't send another bachelor to be the supervisor!
Now, Yu Yanyi's move is equivalent to setting up a small supervisory army among the various soldiers and horses in Jinyang.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Under the supervision of Jin Yiwei, even if someone has different intentions, they will not simply implement it like Chen An.
Of course, this is only an emergency method and cannot be used in the long term. Once used in the long term, it is equivalent to extending the Jin Yiwei's hand into the army. This is absolutely not allowed, but the immediate situation is urgent.
And on normal days, the presence of Jinyiwei would definitely cause dissatisfaction among the generals. However, after what happened last night, the generals who were loyal to Zhou Dynasty all had lingering fears. If Chen An really succeeded, most of the people present would be corpses at this time, so they would not react to this move.
There was no conflict either.
After this series of operations, Yu Yanyi gained stronger control over the army in a short period of time.
"Today, the Jinyi Guards will be stationed in the army to monitor the treasonous and lawless people. I hope that all generals will work together to fight against the enemy!"
"promise!"
--------------------------
Jizhou.
After Yang Qingyuan captured Yanmen, he gradually detoured around Jizhou and captured the counties in Jizhou, gradually forming a huge encirclement behind the Mohe army.
At the same time, Yang Qingyuan's troops also divided into two groups.
One group was led by Yang Qingyuan himself, and the other group was led by Zhu Jianqiu and Qin Yiyan.
For both the north and the south, they advanced towards the Mohe army.
Under Mohe's unconscious cooperation and Yang Qingyuan's conscious layout, a strategic layout of "retreat and decisive battle" was formed.
After the Mohe army captured most of Jizhou and Bingzhou, they concentrated their forces to attack Jinyang.
The Tiance Army in the north was constrained by Dagan and found it difficult to support them, so they did not have many troops left behind. In addition, the Mohe Army had a lot of dried meat, cattle and goat milk, and the logistics pressure was not great. As a result, they were unable to digest Jizhou and Youzhou.
Under such circumstances, the army pressed forward across the entire front, leaving the rear slightly empty.
But now that the Mohe Army was firmly blocked in front of Jinyang City by Yu Yanyi, the logistical pressure on the army became apparent.
There are many cavalry in Mohe. Of course, people can eat dried meat and cooked wheat flour mixed with cow and goat milk, but horses cannot.
Mohe's cavalry troops were destined to need a lot of fodder. These cavalry did not play a big role in the siege, but instead intensified the logistical pressure on Mohe's army.
But now Nurhaqa only has Jinyang in his eyes, and can't see any of this at all.
The whole army pressed forward, and without realizing it, he took the initiative to help Yang Qingyuan complete the layout of luring the enemy deep and retreating for a decisive battle.
Mr. Ziren once said in his "On Protracted War", "We have always advocated 'luring the enemy deep' because this is the most effective military policy for a weak army to fight a strong army in strategic defense."
To lure the enemy deep is not to passively retreat, nor to retreat in defeat, but to proactively retreat in front of the attacker with an army that has not suffered setbacks and is still energetic, so as to create conditions and achieve victory with greater certainty.
Now that this condition has been created, Yang Qingyuan will use this strategic layout to defeat Mohe's main force in one fell swoop and decide the outcome in one battle!
