Practicing from the Taoist

Chapter 73
At night, Xu Jin led dozens of blood owl Taoist soldiers to patrol the direction of Ueno. In the night, their vision would not be affected in any way, so the speed of advance was also very fast.

"Well, it's foggy?"

Xu Jin, who was advancing, suddenly stopped because he noticed a thin mist floating in front of him.

It is actually quite common to see fog around Xinze, but Xu Jin felt an unusual aura from the fog, as if there was a faint murderous aura in the fog.

Xu Jin can be sure that there are no enemies hidden in the mist. The reason why he felt a faint murderous aura was because he was more sensitive to killing after completing the artistic conception visualization. Therefore, even the thin mist, after sensing the mist, , the murderous aura that is still very far away.

Looking at the thin mist, Xu Jin thought about whether she should continue to walk forward, to check whether the enemy army had arrived, but as soon as this thought came up, Xu Jin immediately rejected it, and then turned her head behind her without hesitation. The blood owl Taoist soldiers issued an order to retreat.

"retreat!"

With a soft drink, Xu Jin turned around and backed away without hesitation. Seeing this, the blood owl Taoist soldiers around him also followed behind Xu Jin, and quickly backed away in the direction of Xinze.

Leading the blood owl Taoist soldiers behind him, Xu Jin almost rushed back to Xinze at the fastest speed, and the first time he came back, he ordered all the soldiers left behind to guard the city, and all the defense equipment, They were also placed in the positions confirmed earlier, ready to be stimulated at any time, and arranged for someone to notify Tian Yu.

And almost at the same time when Xu Jin returned to the city and started to make arrangements, several figures suddenly appeared at the place he was patrolling before, and one of them easily found the very subtle traces they left around.

"About a quarter of an hour ago, someone patrolled here, and they turned back after they came here. According to other traces found on the road, the people in charge of night patrol in New Zecheng did not stop here. It seems that we may It has been discovered!"

The man observed the traces around him, and then spoke to the people around him.

"It doesn't matter. Since we have already arrived here, it is no big deal if people in Xinze City find out. Even if they ask for help from Shangye at this time, there will be no time to rescue them. It will take less than half an hour. We will be able to take Xinze, and then turn from Xinze to encircle Ueno and wipe out Chen Guo's army in one fell swoop!"

Hearing that person's words, another person beside him also said that he didn't care about the fact that he and others might have been discovered. The rest of the people heard what he said and agreed with his words. It's true that you don't have to worry about whether you will be discovered or not.

"So, let's go at full speed, and take Xinze within half an hour!"

The person who spoke first also nodded with a smile, and then said in an unquestionable tone!

At this moment, on the side of Xinze City, Xu Jin was standing in front of the slightly repaired city wall, holding the cannonball with the damaged bottom mechanism in his hand, looking at the direction of Ueno with a solemn expression, and there was already a danger approaching in his heart. a feeling of.

At this time, there was a sound of footsteps behind him, and Xu Jin quickly looked back, and saw Tian Yu and the previous guard of Xinze, and they rushed over with some people.

"What's the situation, how many people are there from Jingguo's army, and how far are they from us?"

As soon as the two came over, the former guard of Xinze hurriedly asked Xu Jin.

Hearing what the other party said, Xu Jin shook her head slightly, and then replied: "I don't know, I just sensed the murderous aura contained in the fog during the inspection process, so I judge that Jing Guo's army should come again!"

Hearing what Xu Jin said, the guard of Xinze frowned slightly, obviously dissatisfied with this answer, but Tian Yu nodded.

"According to the previous news, the Jingguo side will definitely come over soon. Bingzhu Xu felt the murderous intent and returned to arrange for the defense of the city. It is a prudent move!"

The Xinze guard on the side was about to speak, but Tian Yu suddenly turned his head and looked forward, his expression became serious, and he spit out two words directly.

"coming!"

Seeing Tian Yu's reaction, several people immediately turned their eyes to the front, and saw a cloud of mist billowing in the distance, like a wave coming in front of them. The wind pressure is already oncoming.

"Cannonball, let go!"

Seeing this, Xu Jin ordered the blood lord Taoist soldiers around him without hesitation to launch a cannonball attack.

"Bang, bang, bang!"

A series of three bowstring explosions sounded, and the surface of the crossbow covered with red light drew three red lines in the night, flying towards the billowing mist.

Three miles away from Xinze City, three crossbow arrows sank into the mist, and the speed of the mist slowed down instantly.

"Turn on the string and shoot again!"

Without hesitation, Xu Jin ordered the blood owl Taoist soldiers to continue attacking. At the same time, he himself grabbed a crossbow arrow, pulled the string of the crossbow in his hand, put one foot against the crossbow arm, and also shot forward. an arrow.

"Bang, bang bang!"

The explosion of the bowstring sounded again, four red lights flew out again, and quickly sank into the fog. With the sinking of these arrows, the fog, which had slowed down, finally stopped completely at this moment. After getting off, and after stopping, the tumbling mist quickly dispersed, and the figures wrapped in the mist instantly revealed their figures.

"This, I'm afraid there are more than [-] people, all of them are Dao soldiers!"

Looking at the person revealed in the mist, the guard of Xinze couldn't help but be a little surprised at the moment, because after the mist cleared, there were more than [-] Jingguo troops standing in front of him.

Ever since Jing Guo attacked Chen Guo, there had never been any ordinary soldiers in their army. From this, it can be judged that the more than [-] people in front of them should be Dao soldiers.

Thinking about the previous battle, Jingguo only sent a team of more than [-] people, and Xinze was almost broken. The city walls of Xinze were demolished. It can't be defended. Fortunately, there was a plan to use Xinze as bait before, otherwise even if they fight to the death, it will be useless after all.

"People of Xinze, listen up, I am Qian Xi, the former general of Jingguo, who is in charge of the city, quickly come out and kneel down and surrender. If anyone dares to act recklessly, I will raze Xinze to the ground!"

A voice sounded from Jingguo's army, and at the same time, the person who spoke also stepped forward step by step, with a strong aura rising from him.

Xu Jin turned her head and glanced at Tian Yu beside her, and saw that the other party was looking at Qian Xi who was walking out of Jingguo's team. Tian Yu turned her head and said to Xu Jin.

"It seems that we have really caught a lot of Jing Guo's strength this time. This Qianxi is not inferior to me in strength, and with the other Jing Guo practitioners who came with him, I can't stop it at all. Xu Bing Lord, please give me an order to continue the attack for a round, and after Jingguo's army attacks, we will start to retreat, remember not to love to fight!"

Hearing Tian Yu's words, Xu Jin nodded, and then gave instructions to the blood owl Taoist soldiers beside him.

"Turn on the string and shoot again!"

The former general of Jingguo, Qian Xi, had just finished speaking, and was waiting for the people in Xinze City to reply. What he waited for was not the surrender of the people in Xinze City, but three more arrows from the crossbow flying over. .

Looking at the three crossbow arrows flying towards him, Qian Xi raised his hand and made a grasping movement in the void. The three fast crossbow arrows suddenly exploded in the air, failing to reach the opponent at all.

"Okay, I like tough ones. If it weren't for this, wouldn't it be a waste of time to bring these people today, and the generals will obey orders and attack!"

Qian Xi put down his palm, and then said loudly, the voice clearly reached the ears of Xu Jin and others.

"All the equipment for defending the city, let go!"

Hearing Qian Xi's words, the guard of Xinze also gave the order without hesitation. Immediately, the surrounding soldiers activated all the defense equipment that had been prepared long ago, boulders, rolling logs, fireballs, and a dense area The rain of arrows was activated at the same time, attacking towards Jing Guo's side.

Seeing these incoming attacks, several figures from Jingguo's side rose into the air, and at the same time cast different spells. The seemingly ferocious attacks were swept away in an instant.

Immediately afterwards, the more than [-] Jing Guo Dao soldiers quickly divided into nearly ten square formations, aimed at the direction of Xinze, and also launched a magical attack.

The crossbow in Xu Jin's hand shot another arrow, and then immediately put away all the crossbows, because he knew that they would have no chance to attack again.

A large piece of red light shot out from a phalanx of the Jingguo army. Under the radiance of the red light, the slightly repaired city wall collapsed again in just a few breaths.

While the red light was shining, the densely packed ice arrows turned into an overwhelming rain of arrows and shot towards Xinze.

"shock!"

Xu Jin looked at the dense arrow rain, and was about to let the blood lord Taoist soldiers around him form a square formation to deal with it, but then heard a roar from the Taoist soldiers in a square formation among the Jingguo Taoist soldiers on the opposite side .

Immediately afterwards, Xu Jin felt an invisible force coming from the void, and hurried to the side to avoid it. While Xu Jin was dodging, a dilapidated city wall that was still standing behind him was instantly captured by an invisible force. smashed.

The surrounding blood owl Taoist soldiers were also slightly affected, but fortunately, they also reacted quickly, avoiding the frontal impact in time, and did not suffer any injuries.

Xu Jin quickly glanced around, and found that the arrangements he had made in the past two days had almost been dismantled in a short period of time, and he didn't even know the trenches and traps he had dug. It was almost filled by some attack.

"This is why we need to retreat without fighting. There is no room for resistance in such an instant battle!" Seeing this situation, Xu Jin thought with an extremely heavy heart.
