People in the early Tang Dynasty: I compete with Wu Zhao for the throne

Chapter 405 Believers' Perspective, Defects in Guancheng

The mountains are secluded, the dense forests stretch, the cliffs are precipitous, and the clouds are about to fly.

Meiling Pass is located on the southernmost side of the entire Daciyan Mountain Range, straddling the middle of two hundred-meter-high mountains.

The mountain is steep and steep, and it is extremely difficult to climb, and there is no need to worry about someone attacking from the top of the mountain.

The city gate is thick and heavy, as high as two feet, with more than four hundred steps on the left and right. The city gate is tightly closed, and there are many swords and guns on it.

Li Xuan rode his horse and stopped a stone's throw away on the south side of Meiling Pass, looking up and down the terrain around the pass city, looking for a point to break the city.

With a sound of "嗖", the sharp long arrow directly pierced the air, and shot straight at Li Xuan's head.

At this moment, a sharp knife light flashed, and the long arrow had been directly chopped down by the knife.

The saber light was recovered and landed directly on Qiu Zhenmu's scabbard.

Li Xuan didn't even look at the long arrow, and observed the surrounding terrain. After a while, he immediately turned the horse and shouted: "Go, go back!"

A dozen tall horses immediately kicked up countless smoke and dust, and headed towards the distant village.

Zhuge Town is not far from Zhuge Town at the foot of Meiling Pass Mountain.

When the horse left quickly, Li Xuan looked back at the Meiling Pass, and saw that it was closed, and several entries appeared at the same time.

[Ye Wanwan, the saint of Tianyin Sect, beautiful and unparalleled, weird elf, seductive in appearance, surly in heart, the pinnacle of innate talent—controllable, markable, believer]

[Zhang Wanyu, head of Yuhang Hall of Tianyin Sect, 27 years old, father Zhang Shuyin, brother, Wen Fuzhi, in the middle of Xuantai (slight injury)]

[He Qing'er, the deputy head of Wuzhou Hall of Tianyin Sect, 17 years old, the peak of the real realm]

[Zuo Fei, deputy head of the Muzhou Hall of the Tianyin Sect, 47 years old, at the peak of the True Seed Realm]

Li Xuan's eyes fell directly on Zuo Fei's entry. The one who has been guarding Meiling Pass is Zuo Fei, the deputy head of Muzhou Hall.

It can be seen that since Li Xuan beheaded He Lao in Wuzhou, Fang Yunxiu and others have indeed put great pressure on the Tianyin Sect.

On the eve of the upcoming incident, he also sent out his own deputy hall master.

This is a man who is not tall, with a face full of wind and frost, holding a longbow in his hand. Although there is worry in his eyes, he is probably a staunch believer of Tianyin Sect. Standing on the city wall, he looks at Li Xuan from a distance. Direction, eyes full of fear.

Li Xuan could clearly see Zuo Fei's face, movement, expression, and his every move.

Those who passed were Ye Wanwan's eyes.

After reaching the Meiling Pass, Li Xuan realized that she could see everything she could see through Ye Wanwan's eyes.

His entry prompter, as his cultivation level broke through into the Mysterious Embryo Realm, showed new changes again.

believer.

Anything that can be controlled and marked is not as useful as the word believer.

At first, Li Xuan couldn't figure out why Ye Wanwan became her follower?
Even he didn't understand why the word "believer" suddenly appeared.

There were quite a few people who were reminded by Li Xuan to be controlled by this article before, including even the deputy head of the Tianyin Sect like Xu Lu, but the word "believer" only appeared on Ye Wanwan.

Could it be that it was because she was the saint of Tianyin Sect.

After the queen, Li Xuan's mind suddenly flashed the face of the queen.

It looks bright and charming, but in fact it is vicious and vicious. It has changed hands and repeated hundreds of thousands of creatures, and it doesn't care about the Queen of Tianyin.

The end of the future has come, believers will spread throughout Wuyue...

What on earth is she going to do to do this.

Now Li Xuan vaguely guessed something.

Suddenly, Li Xuan thought of a very difficult question, how high is the cultivation base of the empress.

Elder He is not only the head of the four elders, but also the most trustworthy guard around Empress Yao, but Empress Yi, her cultivation level is probably even higher than Elder He.

The god of fetus, the god of fetus, the god of Xuantai and the god of Yin.

The combination of the yin, the god, and the mysterious fetus forms the realm of golden elixir.

Even among Taoist sects, no new golden elixir real person has been born in the past hundred years. Could it be said that the future will break the limit of the golden elixir.

With the main force of the southeast believers, she was sent to the golden core realm in one fell swoop.

Wait, the deadline has come.

Empress Wu is now nearly sixty years old, so the Empress Wu, who was the same sister as Empress Wu back then, may not be younger at all.

However, compared to Empress Wu who has been supported by the entire Tang Dynasty in recent years, Empress Wu may only be able to rely on herself.

Her believers can't even live themselves, how many can dedicate to her.

Withdrawing his thoughts, Li Xuan rode his horse towards Zhuge Village, but his eyes were still on Ye Wanwan.

……

"What an insidious and cunning fellow, unexpectedly he refuses to give him even the slightest chance." Zuo Fei's bright eyes showed a trace of coldness.

He is already considered a good archer, just now Li Xuan only needs to take one step forward, and he has a chance to shoot him to death.

But Li Xuan was just beyond the arrow's reach, where the power of his bow and arrow was the weakest.

Qiu Zhenmu blocked the arrow with all his strength, and Li Xuan didn't even look up at him.

A trace of hatred suddenly rose in Zuo Fei's heart, but he just couldn't help Li Xuan.

"None of us wants to kill him, but if he was really so easy to kill, we would have killed him long ago, so how can we let him live until now?" Zhang Wanyu pressed one hand on the female wall, looking at the In the direction where Li Xuan disappeared, his eyes were full of hatred.

Fang Yunxiu, He Lao, Lin Jie, and Fang Liyong had all died in Li Xuan's hands.

These people are more or less related to Zhang Wanyu.

Fang Yunxiu is Zhang Wanyu's fiancé, how deep the relationship between the two is, even Zhang Wanyu herself can't tell, but she knows in her heart that she will marry him in the future, and she will never have a second man in the future.

But Fang Yunxiu died, and once he died, the future uprising in Wuzhou was immediately hit hard, and even the entire future plan of Tianyin Sect was cast a shadow over it.

For the overall situation of Wuzhou, and also to avenge her fiancé, Zhang Wanyu came to Wuzhou under Wen Fuzhi's suggestion...

He Lao's death was the product of her failed plan.

In the end, He Lao even used his last bit of strength to save her.

Although Lin Xie didn't die to save her, he took all the risks himself.

Muzhou's reinforcements, Fang Yunxiu's nephew, Lin Jie's grandson, and nearly [-] Tianyin believers were all buried in Wuzhou City.

In the end, there were only three of them left, and they returned to Meiling Pass with a hundred remnants.

The one hundred remnants who were defeated were also injured in Chisongguan, so they did not catch up with the battle in Zhoucheng. If they were there, I am afraid that even they would be gone.

"Don't worry, there will always be a chance. If there is only a chance, I will kill him." He Qing'er held a dagger in her hand, her face was full of hatred.

He Zheng, in order not to hurt his family and children, directly set himself on fire in the fire.

Although Li Xuan and Wang Fanglin deliberately concealed the truth of He Zheng's death, many things were kept secret.

Not to mention, both Li Xuan and Wang Fanglin wrote memorials to the gods, and He Zheng's identity was directly exposed by them.

"Lanxi County has fallen." Ye Wanwan's words drew everyone's attention away from their hatred of Li Xuan.

She turned her head and looked at the mountains behind her, with a trace of worry in her eyes: "The first batch of reinforcements from Muzhou will arrive in five days, and the main army will arrive in ten days. The first thing we want to do is to survive These five days, based on what I know about the King of Nanchang, he will definitely want to take Meiling Pass within five days, and he may even do it directly tonight."

"That's right." Zhang Wanyu nodded approvingly, looked in the direction of Zhuge Village, and said with serious eyes: "Whether it's Yangzhou, Hangzhou, Dongyang, or Wuzhou City, the King of Nanchang will always show up for the first time. Just hit people hard, and then use heavy methods to keep coming, keep weakening you, and kill you with the last blow."

"I'll tell my brothers to be more careful tonight." Zuo Fei is not an incompetent person.

Muzhou is the stronghold of Tianyin Sect, and there is no one who can be easily killed from Muzhou.

"It's impossible for him to let us wait until tonight. Have you seen the group of sergeants who closed the dense forest? They have rested for a while after they came here. If there is no accident, in another half an hour, before the sun sets, they will be here. We will launch the first wave of attacks on Meiling Pass, test our defense methods, and prepare for the final breakthrough.”

Zhang Wanyu leaned forward slightly, looked at the figure flickering in the dense forest in the distance, and clenched her fists tightly.

"It's a pity that we still have too few people." Ye Wanwan sighed softly, not hiding the worry in her eyes at all.

She turned around slowly and looked at the entire Meiling Pass.

Meiling Pass is a small pass city, which contains the garrison Xiaowei's mansion, barracks, grain depot, school yard, Cao Shenjun's official houses and so on.

The left and right are 250 meters each, but the front and back are about one mile.

The whole pass city is not very big, and there are only 200 soldiers stationed here all the year round, but now, there are 400 people inside and outside the entire Meiling pass, but there are already 400 people, but Ye Wanwan and the others still don't have many Keep your heart here.

Because Meiling Pass City has a huge flaw.

……

"Meiling Pass has a huge flaw." Li Xuan looked at Qiu Zhenmu, Yan Tao and Qi Guang who were on one side.

Walking in Zhuge Town, Yan Tao had already placed his soldiers in the school on the west side.

Zhuge Town, where the descendants of Zhuge Liang, the Prime Minister of the Shu Han Dynasty in the Three Kingdoms, lived.

They are only five miles away from Meiling Pass.

"It's external and not internal." Yan Tao glanced at Qiu Zhenmu, and seeing that Qiu Zhenmu had no intention of speaking, he continued: "The construction of Meiling Pass was itself a checkpoint for tax collection in Muzhou, but After the Tianyin Sect rebelled 20 years ago, the center ordered the Meiling Pass to be repaired, as if it had been expected to happen today."

"The city wall on the south side of Meiling Pass is nearly three feet three shorter than that on the north side, which means that we will encounter much less hardship in capturing Meiling Pass than when attacking from the north side. "Li Xuan stopped and looked in the direction of Meiling Pass.

"Tell my brothers, don't worry about attacking Meiling Pass this time, take your time... In the future, we will become the side defending the city, so use this rare siege strategy to get acquainted with the flaws in the city wall. , it will be better to be on guard in the future.”

Li Xuan looked at Qiu Zhenmu, Yan Tao, and Qi Guang, and said in a deep voice: "Three, this is a rare opportunity. I hope that after entering Meiling Pass, you can come up with useful suggestions for defending the city." .”

"I will obey the order." Hearing what Li Xuan said, the faces of the three present became serious at the same time.

Yes, the biggest problem they will encounter this time is never the Meiling Pass guarded by hundreds of people in front of them, but the main force of Tianyin Sect who is likely to attack from the north later.

If you don't take advantage of this opportunity to accumulate some experience, then when the Tianyin Sect army strikes, what they will pay is a bloody lesson at the cost of human life.
