Qin Shi: Sword Asks the Bright Moon

Chapter 197
When the sun was half-hanging, teams of personal soldiers walked out of the camp, and slowly advanced towards Diqiu City behind the siege equipment.

At present, the Qin army has an absolute advantage in strength, and it doesn't need too many tricks to attack the city. It only needs to break through it with strength.

Amid the sound of military drums, the Qin army lined up and marched neatly under the moat of Diqiu City. The era-crossing siege vehicle formed by combining mechanism techniques in this era slowly put down the pontoon bridge on the vehicle and erected it on the moat. A channel.

And the defenders of Diqiu City were not idle either. Rockets shot out from the city wall, trying to ignite the pontoon bridge of the Qin Army. With the cooperation of the arrow array, the defenders of Diqiu City were firmly pressed against the city wall and did not dare to show their faces. Naturally, the so-called plan to burn down the Qin Army's pontoon bridge with rockets could no longer be carried out.

As a siege ladder with pulleys was erected under the city of Diqiu, the most tragic siege battle in the war really reached the point of hand-to-hand combat.

All of a sudden, huge boulders and logs fell from the city wall like splashing water, knocking down soldiers of the Qin army from the siege ladders.

And the Qin army can't only be beaten passively. The archers who have advanced to the city are also waiting with their bows. Rolling logs have to pay the price of blood and life.

The tragedy is aimed at the two gates, but it is a pity that the defenders of Diqiu are not as brave as the Qin army. As Yang Ming said before, although the city of Diqiu is strong, the only thing that is strong is the city wall, and the defense of the city requires people to guard it. Yes, if the human heart is not strong, no matter how strong the city is, it is just a rotten shell.

Under the strong attack of the Qin army, when corpses appeared on the city wall, when the blood color dominated the sight of the defenders of Diqiu City, when the blood dominated their sense of smell, and howls dominated their hearing, their reason and mentality were It is constantly being devastated and gradually heading for collapse.

In the Qin army's main formation, Wang Jian looked at Diqiu City, with a thoughtful look on his brows, and turned to Yang Ming and said, "Gongsun Yu, the Great General of the State of Wei, does not seem to be on the city wall."

"How do you know?" Yang Ming asked.

According to the information Yang Ming has, Gongsun Yu is just a famous swordsman with a very famous disciple and a granddaughter who is all over the country. As for the others...

Right now, from Wang Jian's words, it seems that Gongsun Yu is extremely extraordinary, at least not just a master of swordsmanship.

"Before I was 30 years old, I spent ten years traveling around the world, and I also set foot on the land of Weiguo. Although Gongsun Yu is not well-known in other countries, he is a world-class figure in both swordsmanship and military art. I once I asked him about swordsmanship, and this person's swordsmanship vaguely has the shadow of the vertical and horizontal swordsmanship of Guigumen." Wang Jian recalled.

"Vertical and horizontal swordsmanship? Ever since Zhang Yi returned to seclusion and Su Qin died in Qi, the Guigu sect has not been seen. Could it be that Gongsun Yu is a disciple cultivated by Zhang Yi after her retirement?" Yang Ming asked in surprise.

In Yang Ming's ears, he often heard about Guigu's lineage, but it was the first time that such a living person appeared in front of him.

Yang Ming flipped through the memories in his mind. At this time, it has been six years since Qin Wangzheng. The contemporary successors of Guigu, Gai Nie and Wei Zhuang, are almost about to go through the trial of their masters. If Gongsun Yu is also Guigu If it is a direct descendant, it can only be Gai Nie and Wei Zhuang's uncle.

In this way, the contemporary Guiguzi is the descendant of the previous generation of Hengjian, and since Gongsun Yu became the general of the small country of Weiguo, he naturally failed in the competition. There is no need to delve into it too deeply, after all, similar situations will occur in the future.

However, if Gongsun Yu was a disciple of Guigu from the previous generation, there might be a small accident in this war, but it was only a small accident.

The true power of the Guigu lineage is based on the grandeur of the world as the game and the countries as the chess pieces. As for martial arts, although it is the best swordsmanship in the world, but in front of the majestic army, the effect it can exert is limited after all.

"Perhaps, Gongsun Yu was already a top-notch swordsman 15 years ago. Now that 15 years have passed, although he is no longer in the peak state of the past, it is not impossible to break through. A swordsman, although not enough It determines the success or failure of a war, but it can be said to add many uncertain variables to a war." Wang Jian said.

"If Gongsun Yu is really as extraordinary as you said, then he should be right behind the city gate. He has assembled a team of elites and is waiting for an opportunity to attack." Yang Ming pondered.

"The morale of Diqiu City cannot be defended. If we can win a small victory, we can have more confidence in defending each other." Wang Jian said.

If it was in front of others, Wang Jian might hide his clumsiness, but in front of Yang Ming, he didn't have to, because he was able to get the opportunity in front of him precisely because of Yang Ming.

Yang Ming asked Wang Jian to be his lieutenant general, not to make Wang Jian hide his clumsiness.

"In this case, it may not be an opportunity for us. The morale of Diqiu City is difficult to defend. Gongsun Yu wants to boost morale with a surprise attack. We can also take this opportunity to completely destroy the defenders of Diqiu City. morale." Yang Ming said.

But time didn't seem to give Yang Ming more chances. The closed gate of Diqiu City was instantly opened, and a team of cavalry rushed out of the city, killing the attacking Qin army by surprise.

I saw that the leader was an old general, and a long sword in his hand turned into a blood-red angry dragon. While flying up and down, the Qin army did not have any enemies with him. In a blink of an eye, the people near the city gate Qin Jun was directly killed by him.

Under the leadership of the veteran, more than [-] horsemen came towards the main formation of the Qin army where Yang Ming was.

"The old guy is still ambitious." Yang Ming looked at Gongsun Yu, who was leading the horse, and said without wavering eyes.

"The Zongheng family's hundred-step flying sword is the most lethal move in the current world of swordsmanship." Wang Jian reminded.

"So, we can't let him kill within a hundred steps of us?" Yang Ming asked back.

"If that's the case, there is a suspicion of taking risks." Wang Jian replied.

As the veteran led five hundred fine cavalry to attack the Qin army outside the city, the morale of the defenders of Diqiu City was really boosted, and they were able to suppress the attacking Qin army for a while.

"The opportunity is rare. Since he dared to come out, I dare to keep him. Although the defenders of Diqiu City are useless, after all, the city is high and the pond is deep. If you want to attack it, you still have to pay a lot of casualties. Right now, there are people who can completely disintegrate. It would be a pity if the chance of the defenders of Diqiu City was missed." Yang Ming had already mentioned the Canglong Wentian Halberd that was planted on the ground.

"General Zuo, Gongsun Yu's martial arts are unfathomable, and he may even be a master. Don't be careless. You only need to send a large army to encircle and kill him. Why do you need General Zuo to personally take risks?" Wang Jian hurriedly dissuaded him.

Yang Ming's martial arts are indeed powerful, but in Wang Jian's view, Yang Ming's martial arts are still top-notch, and he has not yet stepped into the realm of a master. If he faces Gongsun Yu head-on at this time, the outcome is hard to say.

But right now, the Qin army has an absolute advantage, so why let their main general go into danger? Drink hate.

But Yang Ming obviously didn't think so.

and so.

"General Wang guards the formation, I'll take down Gongsun Yu." Yang Ming said to the left and right, and he had already urged his horse forward, and half of the [-] Chinese army guards surrounding Yang Ming followed Yang Ming.

On the other side, under the heavy pressure of the Qin army, Gongsun Yu, who had become more and more difficult to charge, had planned to quit as soon as he was ready, but when he saw that the general of the Qin army took the initiative to go out and left the army's surroundings, he suddenly realized A chance to solve the crisis of defending the country.

If you can take the opportunity to kill the general of the Qin army...

For a moment, Gongsun Yu had already made up his mind in the face of the huge temptation. As for Yang Ming's own martial power, Gongsun Yu didn't think too much about it. He had enough confidence in his martial arts, even if Yang Ming had the ability to kill Wei Wei. The national general Zhu Hai's record is the first, and the same is true.

It's just that this time I still have to break my oath after all, and the price is my life.Thinking of the oath he had sworn in front of his master and senior brother, a ferocious look appeared on Gongsun Yu's face. It was a kind of deadly aura, aimed at the enemy as well as himself.

The eyes of the generals of the two armies collided across the distance of space. At that moment, both Yang Ming and Gongsun Yu could see each other's thoughts.

Gongsun Yu greeted, and a young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes guarded him closely, helping Gongsun Yu break out of the encirclement of the Qin army, while the Qin army, which was encircling Gongsun Yu's troops layer by layer, tried their best to stop Gongsun Yu Yu's troops, Gongsun Yu and the few people around him are of course superb swordsmanship, but the remaining cavalry can only be regarded as ordinary elites. Under the siege of the Qin army, they are constantly reducing their numbers.

The horses of the cavalry were cut off by the long spears of the Qin army, and their bodies were pierced by the spears of the Qin army.

But in Yang Ming's line of sight, only Gongsun Yu was left. In his line of sight, from the time he broke out of the city gate, Gongsun Yu, who had a long sword in his hand, no longer drew his sword. A master shielded himself from the Qin army's attack.

But Gongsun Yu, who didn't make a move anymore, was even more frightening. He didn't make a move for the next killing blow. He was accumulating momentum.

Under the gate of Guigu, the sword is passed on to others, and the sword is attacked by the momentum, in order to seek truth and think it is closed.

At this time, Yang Ming was already convinced that Gongsun Yu must be the previous generation of vertical sword descendants under Guigu's sect.

A hundred-step flying sword?
Yang Ming and the thousands of personal guards around him fanned towards Gongsun Yu's troops, and a trace of vitality spread around Yang Ming's body. Yang Ming hung the Canglong Wentian Halberd on the horse.

Between Yang Ming and Gongsun Yu, which one is stronger and which is weaker in the collision between the three-point return to vitality and the hundred-step flying sword?
