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

Chapter 419 Straight to the heart, swords and swords

Wearing a black fish-scale armor, holding the eight-sided Han sword in his hand, Li Xuan walked slowly from the corridor to the gate tower with his chest up and his head held high in the morning light.

The imposing manner is majestic.

Qiu Zhenmu and Li Zhu stood five steps behind Li Xuan respectively.

In an instant, the eyes of countless people all fell on him.

"Your Majesty!" Yan Tao, Zhou Shen, Wang Qin, and Feng Hua saluted Li Xuan at the same time.

On the entire city gate, countless soldiers bowed to Li Xuan at the same time, shouting in unison: "Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Your Majesty!"

"Everyone, please stand up!" Li Xuan raised her hand slightly, and the people in front of her straightened up.

Li Xuan turned around and looked under the city gate.

Two miles away, densely packed gray-clothed teaching staff spread out along the mountain road.

Thousands of people are placed on this narrow mountain path, which makes people feel frightened.

Li Xuan's eyes fell directly on the front of the Gray Pawn, a middle-aged bearded man in black plate armor with a long spear in his hand.

This person is, surprisingly, Luo Yongjie, the head of the Muzhou Jiande branch of the Tianyin Sect.

At this moment, Luo Yongjie looked at Li Xuan with grief and indignation in his eyes, and his eyes finally fell on a corpse in the middle of the mountain road.

Wearing a gray robe, Luo Chuan was shot directly through his body with crossbow arrows, but he still climbed to the middle of the road, but was nailed to death on the mountain road with long arrows until he bled to death.

Luo Yongjie's adopted son.

"Send the order, Colonel Zhou thwarted the enemy's night attack plan, and his credit will be changed."

Li Xuan let out a low cry, but the voice clearly reached the ears of every soldier present.

"Your subordinates take orders." Wang Qin immediately stepped forward and cupped his hands, then withdrew.

Zhou Shen hurried forward: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

"The king is heroic!" Many soldiers present immediately couldn't help shouting loudly, and their morale was immediately extremely high.

Li Xuan nodded in satisfaction, and subconsciously looked towards Lan Xi.

Wang Bo and Yu Ze are helping him keep an eye on Lan Xi and the back road.

With the two of them here, Lanxi could send endless supplies to Meiling Pass.

Coupled with this high morale, it is safe to defend Meiling Pass.

As for those under the city, they are nothing more than walking exploits.

……

"Please answer, Nanchang County King!" Outside the city gate, Luo Yongjie suppressed his angry voice, and it was heard clearly by everyone present.

Li Xuan frowned, stepped forward, walked behind the female wall, looked at Luo Yongjie in the distance, and asked casually: "What's the matter?"

"Don't the king think it's too much to kill and humiliate so much?" Luo Yongjie looked at Li Xuan, gnashing his teeth.

"Your Excellency, do you know what kind of crime is treason and treason, and attacking the city gate?" Li Xuan looked at Luo Yongjie from a distance, and sneered disdainfully: "Risk the family and exterminate the family, exile without officials, and even cruel... these 20 years After the previous defeat, your Excellency has already experienced it once, why do you need to ask again?"

With Li Xuan's words, Luo Yongjie's chest couldn't help heaving.

"Twenty years have passed, and you are still as shameless as ever."

Luo Yongjie couldn't help cursing fiercely, and looked at Li Xuan with eyes full of incomparable hatred.

"Your Excellency is being polite." Li Xuan said lightly: "Twenty years have passed, and your Excellency is still as timid as ever; if last night's deceitful city was carried out by you, then today's conversation will not be as insignificant. No need to proceed any longer."

The eyes of everyone present could not help but jump, subconsciously looking at Luo Yongjie.

At this moment, Luo Yongjie's fists were tightly clenched, and he was more like a wounded beast, wanting to pounce on him directly.

20 years ago, it was a very taboo time.

This not only involves the defeat of Tianyin sect in the past, but also involves many unknown secrets.

Looking at Luo Yongjie's tightly clenched fists, Li Xuan knew in his heart that the truth about the "meteorite falling from the sky" that year brought Tianyin Sect not only infinite humiliation, but also incomparable pain.

At this time, Li Xuan spoke again: "Your Excellency sent this person here last night. Didn't you already foresee the danger in advance, and that's why you asked him to be the dead ghost?"

scapegoat?
As soon as Li Xuan's words came out, not only the people at the city gate looked at each other in blank dismay, but even the members of the Tianyin Sect couldn't help but become agitated.

At this time, Luo Yongjie suddenly calmed down.

He raised his head to look at Li Xuan, and said coldly: "I really never thought that the King of Nanchang is actually a sharp-tongued person."

"Your Excellency is overrated." Li Xuan looked down calmly, and said lightly, "It's not because I have sharp teeth, but because Your Excellency has made too many mistakes."

"Oh!" Luo Yongjie stared at Li Xuan firmly, his voice resounded clearly in the ears of everyone on and off the city wall.

"First of all, Your Excellency is too slow to come down. If Your Excellency can come here after I win this checkpoint, then the one standing on the top should be Your Excellency, and the one standing below should be the King. It's a pity. It's gone." Li Xuan's words made the veins on Luo Yongjie's forehead twitch.

"It wasn't me who was guarding here before." Luo Yongjie gritted his teeth and said every word, his eyes had become completely cold.

"This king knows that she is the niece of your concubine. It's a pity that this king knows the news a little late. Otherwise, if you take her down, you can directly send her to God's capital to ask for merit." Li Xuan's body moved slightly. Leaning forward, the first trump card has been thrown out.

Luo Yongjie's breathing suddenly became heavy: "Which cartilage mouth did you ask this question from?"

The relationship between Zhang Wanyu, Wen Fuzhi, and the Empress is a secret that only a few people know even in Tianyin Sect, but this time, it was directly revealed by Li Xuan.

"Your Excellency!" A smug smile appeared on the corner of Li Xuan's mouth, then looked at Luo Yongjie, and said softly: "It was just a rumor before, but now from Your Excellency's mouth, I have completely got the answer!"

Luo Yongjie suddenly felt his heart beat faster.

Standing on the city wall, Li Xuan raised his head, looked towards the direction of Jiande in the distance, and said softly: "Actually, this king hopes that your teaching can send more people over this time, because your Excellency, these people are really too weak... Defrauding the city, such a childish method can only be imagined by someone like you."

At this moment, Luo Yongjie's eyes turned red instantly.

He pointed one finger in the direction of the city gate, and roared angrily: "Attack, daredevil, destroy him for me."

Luo Yongjie gave an order, and the next moment, hundreds of daredevils in black leather armor rushed out.

Hundreds of people, divided into four teams, with wooden shields in one hand and long knives in the other, rushed directly towards the upper gate of the city gate.

At that moment, the anger in Luo Yongjie's eyes disappeared without a trace.

He ordered to the side indifferently: "Archers, aim at the King of Nanchang, after half an hour, release the arrow!"

"Follow the order!" The guards around him quickly went down to deliver the order.

……

Li Xuan on Guancheng frowned suddenly, but Luo Yongjie didn't directly send all his subordinates to rush forward.

It seems that he still has some brains.

At this moment, Li Xuan turned around and looked aside: "Bowmen, release the arrow immediately. None of these people are allowed to be put under the gate."

"Here!" Dozens of crossbowmen immediately stepped forward, stood on the crenel, faced the black daredevils below, and pulled the trigger without hesitation.

Almost in the blink of an eye, all ten crossbow arrows in the crossbow box had been fired.

Hundreds of crossbow arrows, like a black locust, landed directly on the heads of hundreds of daredevils.

"Ding, ding, ding!" Despite being protected by wooden shields, a large number of the daredevils below died immediately.

The powerful force of the crossbow caused the shields in the hands of these daredevils to tilt suddenly.

It was at this time that the archers who had already been prepared in the back moved forward in an instant, replacing the crossbowmen, and accurately shot and slaughtered the daredevils below who had exposed their shortcomings.

The long arrow shot down from mid-air with extraordinary precision, and then directly tore the throats of a number of black-clothed daredevils, and blood gushed out even more.

After a large rain of arrows, under the Guancheng, less than half of the surviving black-clothed daredevils remained.

Li Xuan watched all this calmly. Although the people of Tianyin Sect had undergone considerable training, they had not undergone anti-stress training.

When encountering a strong enemy, the flaws are fully revealed.

Luo Yongjie watched all this calmly, and the moment the archer on the city wall shot a long arrow, he ordered: "Let the arrow! Let the arrow!"

At the moment when the black-clothed daredevil charged forward, Luo Yongjie had already quietly led the people forward a dozen steps, bringing Li Xuan in the closed city directly into the range covered by the crossbow arrows.

In an instant, dozens of cold arrows shot straight at the Guancheng.

Li Xuan, as well as those archers who did not retreat after firing their arrows, were immediately threatened by bows and arrows.

It's a pity that there was always a slight delay between the up and down, and a dozen archers hid behind the female wall at once.

"Ding ding ding", amidst the sound of countless bows and arrows colliding, there were a few unlucky ones who were directly nailed to their shoulders with an arrow.

There was even one who was very unfortunate to be shot through the throat with an arrow.

However, at this moment, more bows and arrows in front of him shot directly at Li Xuan.

Looking coldly at the bows and arrows in front of him, Li Xuan didn't even take half a step back.

It was at this moment that four sword lights flashed at the same time, directly chopping off a large number of long arrows in front of Li Xuan.

The crenel is so big, there are not many who can pass through the crenel and shoot at Li Xuan's heart.

Yan Tao, Zhou Shen, Qiu Zhenmu, and Li Zhu were all standing beside Li Xuan. The four of them had front and back, inside and outside, and four long knives raised at the same time.

In an instant, all the bows and arrows shot at Li Xuan fell to the ground in an instant.

At this moment, a cold arrow suddenly pierced through all the knife screens, and flew down towards Li Xuan's throat from top to bottom.

This is Luo Yongjie's real killer move.

An arrow bought with countless lives and blood.

Li Xuan glanced at the arrow coldly, then turned her head vigorously to the side, the arrow pressed against Li Xuan's neck in an instant, and brushed past the side.

For a split second, Li Xuan could even feel the extremely resentful killing intent on the cold arrow.

Almost.

It was only a little bit close, the arrow just now could have killed Li Xuan, and the fast Yan Tao, Zhou Shen, Qiu Zhenmu, and Li Zhu didn't react at all.

With a sound of "ding", the long arrow has been directly nailed to the stone wall behind Li Xuan.

In an instant, everything in front of him disappeared suddenly, and the empty world appeared in front of Li Xuan again.

Li Xuan's eyes fell on Luo Yongjie who was holding a longbow below.

At this time, Luo Yongjie was ready to draw his bow and set his arrow again, and shot another arrow at Li Xuan.

If he doesn't kill him, let it go.

"Sorry, this king is standing here, no matter how many arrows you shoot, it is impossible to hit it."

Li Xuan's voice rang directly in Luo Yongjie's ear, and at the same time, it rang in the ears of all the Tianyin teachers.

With a "whoosh" arrow, the long arrow in Luo Yongjie's hand could not help but shoot straight out, and then he suddenly looked to the side, and said in a low voice, "Put it..."

A "buzz" suddenly rang in Luo Yongjie's ear.

Countless long arrows shot directly at Luo Yongjie and his archers.

When Luo Yongjie and his archers moved forward quietly, they also fell under the sight of more archers on the city wall.

They can take the opportunity to kill Li Xuan, so naturally Li Xuan can also take the opportunity to kill them.

And from top to bottom, their advantages are even greater.
