Spring and Autumn Confucian Heroes

Chapter 455
Seven Star Sect, the main hall for discussing affairs.

"Little Huanchang led the army and rushed to Taiyang aggressively. Taiyang City has sent envoys to ask for help. Shall we go to help?"

At the main seat, a majestic man asked, and the rest of the people immediately started talking after hearing the words.

"Little Huanchang killed several elders of our Seven Star Sect, and he has been with our Seven Star Sect forever, so he should send experts to support him."

"Exactly!"

"The suzerain can't!"

Some people agree, and naturally some people oppose it.

Those who agreed heard the words, and immediately shouted angrily: "Could it be that the three elders and five outstanding disciples of my Seven Star Sect died in vain?"

"Of course I have to avenge this enmity, but don't forget that although my Seven Star Sect is a first-class sect, it is still too weak compared to the huge Song Kingdom. It will lead to the destruction of our Seven Star Sect, have you not seen the lessons learned by the Shanhai Gang?"

"Also, don't you all know what the nobles who said they want to defect to us have in mind?"

Speaking of this, the person sneered, and the rest of the people immediately fell into deep thought.

Although the nobles have brought Taiyang City to the Seven Star Sect in name.The Seven Star Sect also accepted the contributions of these people in name, but the two sides are just using each other, and it is impossible to truly regard each other as their own.

"What's more, even if we don't send experts to help defend the city, how can Huanchang children let us go?"

The tone of the person who spoke first had obviously softened a little.

"There is no need to worry about this. Although we sent people to rob and kill Na Huanchang, the other party also knew that those people belonged to my Seven Star Sect, but the two sides still did not really tear their faces apart. The current situation in the Song Dynasty is chaotic. As long as we don't make it clear Banner is against the Song State, and it is expected that the Song State will not attack my Seven Star Sect."

Looking at the contemplative expressions on everyone's faces, but they were still somewhat displeased, this person started talking again and again.

"The enmity between the elders and the disciples of the sect must not be forgotten. As long as we can delay the time for Song Guo to quell the rebellion, the Song Kingdom, which was only showing chaos, will really become chaotic."

"At that time, even if we want to subvert the entire Song Kingdom, I'm afraid it's not impossible!"

"However, if we want to achieve this, we have to give some help to Taiyang City. We should first send some disciples to Taiyang City to stabilize the hearts of the people in the city, and promise to send some strong people there soon support."

"In this way, the defenders of Taiyang City will definitely fight to the death and never retreat. When the defenders in the city are about to die and wounded, I will let the disciples in the gate retreat secretly."

"This can not only delay the time for Huan Chang'er to quell the rebellion, but also use the hands of Huan Chang'er to remove those evil nobles in Taiyang City. It can be said to kill two birds with one stone."

Everyone in the hall, hearing such a sinister plan, cheered up one after another.

Seven Star School, reception hall.

"Your envoy, there is no need to panic. Since Taiyang City has already surrendered to our Seven Star Sect, we will naturally not be indifferent to seeing Taiyang City being attacked by Huan Chang'er."

"The suzerain has decided to send experts to Taiyang City to help, but because most of the experts in the sect are sent to assassinate important figures in the Song Kingdom, and many outstanding disciples are also going out to practice, so we can only send [-] disciples to Taiyang first. Yangcheng."

"However, your envoy, please rest assured that these twenty disciples have at least the cultivation level of entering the family, and the first few are elders at the peak of entering the family, and as long as the other masters and disciples sent out by the sect come back, the sect will send them again. They came to support."

"It's really going to be the time of Taiyang City's life and death, even my Seven Star Sect Grand Elder will be dispatched!"

When the envoy of Taiyang City heard the words, he was overjoyed immediately.

This person has been in the Seven Star Sect for two days, but the Seven Star Sect has still not given a definite answer. Seeing that it will be the time agreed with the nobles in the city to return, the envoy is somewhat anxious.

Unexpectedly, Seven Star Sect gave a definite reply at this moment.

Although compared to the [-] troops led by Huan Chang, the support of twenty burglars seemed a bit small, but it still represented the attitude of the Seven Star Sect.

And just like what this person said, in order to assassinate the important figures in the Song Kingdom, the Seven Star Sect had indeed dispatched most of the masters in the sect, and now being able to support Taiyang City can be regarded as the utmost benevolence.

"In the next generation, the entire Taiyang City thanked the Sovereign Lord!"

Three days later, when the envoy came to Taiyang City with the experts supported by the Seven Star Sect, several nobles could not help but have different expressions when they learned that 21 strong men had entered the house.

"I really didn't expect that the Seven Star Sect could send people to help so readily. It seems that Huan Chang'er wants to break through Taiyang City this time, it won't be so easy!"

"Yes, yes, although there are only 21 people, they can still represent the attitude of the Seven Star Sect. It is expected that the Seven Star Sect will send more disciples to help in a short time."

"I don't think it's that simple."

But the middle-aged scribe poured cold water on everyone's heads. Seeing that everyone's eyes were on him, the middle-aged scribe spoke again.

"These 21 people can't control the situation of the battle at all. I'm worried that this is the Seven Star Sect's plan to slow down the troops. They want to raise the morale of my Taiyang City defenders by drawing cakes to satisfy their hunger, and then use us to delay the time for the general to calm down the turmoil."

Everyone's face changed slightly when they heard the words, but someone still said: "Maybe it's not as Mr. thought."

"I hope so."

On Taiyang City, the soldiers were lazily basking in the sun, but if you look carefully, you can find the helplessness and fear in the eyes of these soldiers.

"Ayong, the new law promulgated by the general is actually very beneficial to us, and the king loves the people like a son, why do you think we rebelled?"

The soldier with a rough face looked a little aggrieved.

"Shut up the Iron Bull!"

A short, but very clever soldier next to him changed his expression slightly after hearing what Tie Niu said, and hurried forward to cover Tie Niu's mouth.

"Tie Niu, don't you want to live?"

"A few days ago, someone was executed by the officer for discussing this matter, and the body is still hanging on the tower."

Ah Yong lowered his voice, his tone was very severe.

"Isn't it okay to just say it?"

Thinking of the corpses hanging on the city tower, Tie Niu showed fear on his face. Although his tone was still a little tough, his voice was deliberately lowered.

"In the final analysis, it was the nobles and gentlemen who were selfish, because the new policy promulgated by the general touched the interests of these people, so they captured Taiyang City and defected to the Seven Star Sect."

Ayong's voice was very low, and he said helplessly.

"Hmph, I heard that the general has personally led an army to put down the rebellion. When the time comes, I will surrender and follow the general to kill all the nobles. After making meritorious deeds, I will become a nobleman."

Thinking of the military merit conferring system promulgated in the new law, Tieniu showed a leisurely and fascinated expression on his face.

"It's natural. There are not a few soldiers who have this kind of thinking. At that time, many people will definitely turn against the water. Surrendering to the general is the general trend. And even if we resist to the end, with the [-] army led by the general, it is enough to conquer Taiyang. The city was razed to the ground."

"However, you have to look at the right time to turn against the water, so don't be killed by the supervising team."

"I, Tieniu, will turn against the water with Ayong when the time comes, so that I won't misread the timing."

"Snapped!"

Just as the two were whispering, a whip was suddenly drawn, but the superior officer walked over with an angry face.

"Stick to the city, don't whisper!"

Ayong was hit by the whip, and his body was slammed on the city wall, but he didn't dare to make any gesture of resistance, instead he lowered his head.

The officer beat Ayong with a whip, as if he had done an insignificant thing, and then stepped forward again.

But he didn't see Ayong's distorted face and the anger in his eyes.

"Ayong, are you alright?"

After the officer had gone far away, Tieniu hurried over and asked worriedly.

Behind the battlements, the two guards looked into the distance to observe the enemy's situation, but they seemed a little absent-minded.

"General, do you think we can stop the attack of the general's army this time?"

Pianjiang hesitated for a long time, and finally asked, but there was a worried expression on his face.

"do not know."

"I only know that no matter whether you can hold it or not, you must complete the order issued by the Patriarch."

The person who spoke was the guard general of Taiyang City and the supreme commander of the army of Taiyang City. His martial arts had already reached the peak of entering the house.

However, this person is not the original guard of Taiyang City, but a subordinate trained by that overweight noble.

Since Taiyang county magistrate and guard were killed, this person was appointed as the supreme commander of Taiyang City.

In fact, not only these two generals were subordinates of the nobles, but even many low-level officers on the city wall were also nobles. The real officers were either taken into custody or executed.

Hearing the words, Pianjiang couldn't help showing a wry smile on his face.

"I'll go to the county government office first to find the Patriarch. You are a good guard on the city wall, so you don't get careless."

After watching the main general leave, the partial general shook his head.

"According to the report from the scouts, it may take another month for the army led by the general to arrive here. Why are you so nervous at this time?"

"Tap Tap!"

However, at this moment, the general suddenly saw a lot of dust in front of him. With his extraordinary eyesight, the lieutenant could vaguely see that a cavalry consisting of 500 men appeared in the distance and was galloping towards Taiyang City.

"Where did this cavalry come from?"

After the lieutenant general saw the cavalry, he couldn't help being slightly dazed.

However, the five hundred galloping cavalry did not make the lieutenant feel flustered, because cavalry were not good at attacking cities, and no one dared to invade Taiyang within tens of miles.
The lieutenant general is confident that no one in Taiyang will come to stroke the tiger's beard when the general arrives with the army. However, it will take a long time for the [-] troops led by Huan Chang to arrive here.

"Tap Tap!"

The horses galloped and the dust covered the sun. Although there were only [-] cavalrymen, the galloping momentum of these cavalrymen made people feel strongly suffocated. As the knights got closer and closer to the city wall, this suffocating feeling became even stronger.

"This is an important military site, come and use your name!"

For some reason, when the general looked at the galloping cavalry, he suddenly felt a strong sense of crisis in his heart, and hurriedly let down his dantian and roared loudly.

However, the cavalry did not stop because of the general's warning, and the galloping speed of the horses did not decrease but increased.

"Enemy attack!"

"Enemy attack!"

"The whole army is on guard. If the enemy dares to approach the city, he will be killed without mercy!"

Following the general's shout, the ear-piercing whistle of the horn sounded, and the defenders, who were a little lazy at first, stood up in a panic, their eyes full of dignity.

"stop!"

Seeing that the cavalry was about to enter the range of the defenders' bows and arrows, the leading general suddenly raised his spear, and the five hundred cavalry behind him immediately stopped in uniform.

"I am General Huan Chang. I came here to suppress the rebellion under the order of Duke Song. I know that most of the soldiers in the city are coerced by rebels. As long as they are willing to turn against each other, all previous crimes will be pardoned."

"On the contrary, if you insist on defying the heavenly soldiers, you will be killed without mercy the day the city breaks!"

Huan Chang's voice was like a huge thunder, and with the help of his true energy, the voice swept towards the city. The soldiers on the city wall heard the roar and immediately had different expressions.

"How is it possible? Didn't it mean that it will take another month for the general to lead the army to arrive?"

"Does the general want to lead five hundred cavalry to capture Taiyang City?"

So many soldiers wanted to surrender, but when they saw that there were only such a small number of troops behind Huan Chang, they lost their courage.

However, Tieniu and Ayong's eyes flickered a little.

"Where is the madman, dare to pretend to be a general?"

The general looked at the turbulent soldiers behind him, and immediately flew to stand on the battlements, angrily yelling at Huan Chang.

"kill!"

However, as soon as Pian Jiang finished speaking, there was a loud shout from Huan Chang's mouth, and five hundred cavalrymen bent their bows and set arrows at the same time, and their fighting spirit began to surge wildly.

"Choo Choo Choo!"

Five hundred arrows wrapped in fighting spirit turned into a five-clawed golden dragon in the air, shooting towards the general like lightning.

"Pfft!"

The general wants to move, but his body seems to be imprisoned, there is no way to move at all, he can only watch helplessly as the five-clawed golden dragon engulfs him, and his body turns into blood mist.

"Boom!"

The five-clawed golden dragon that killed the lieutenant general continued unabated, turned around and bombarded the city wall, only to hear a loud bang, and the solid city wall immediately collapsed.

The five hundred soldiers of Song Ren's army could explode even stronger than those in the Transmortal Realm. It was not difficult to smash down the city wall with a full blow when the defenders had no time to defend.

"I recruited you because of kindness, not because I want to use your power to break through this city. When we rush into the city, as long as you don't surrender, you will be killed without mercy!"

The defenders in the city could only hear the roar of the sound, and then saw Huan Chang leading five hundred cavalry, charging towards the gap in the city wall.

"Pfft!"

On the city wall, while the general who had just whipped him was still in shock, Ayong suddenly stabbed the weapon in his hand into the opponent's back.

"Brothers, we were originally loyal to the Song Dynasty, to the emperor, and to the general. We were only coerced into making false claims with the rebels. Since the general has led the troops to put down the rebellion, why don't we kill all the rebel lackeys and join the general? "

Ah Yong, who was holding the general's head, shouted sharply, and the rest of the soldiers also came to their senses, shouting loudly and killing the general beside him.

Taiyang City is broken, if it is destroyed!
