Let you rebel, you build the Immortal Kingdom of Longevity?

Chapter 74 Conspiracy in Tianshan, Burning Guyuan

The army left Luoyun County and galloped all the way, crossing layers of barriers and rugged roads, and finally came to a pass.

Si Jinglei stepped forward and said, "My lord, ahead is the pass from Luoyun County to Guyuan County. It is called "Guyu Pass". Although it is not as difficult and difficult as "Tianmen Pass", it still takes some effort."

Xia Hao looked at the pass, which was about eighteen feet high. He did not comment on what Si Jinglei said, but smiled calmly and said:

"Why so much trouble, first go to persuade to surrender, first salute and then soldiers, if you don't surrender, just attack directly."

Soon, among the tiger and leopard riders, an eighth-rank warrior came out and came to the "Gu Yu Pass" and shouted:

"General Shenweitian is here, quickly switch and surrender."

However, all he received in response was a hail of arrows.

Fortunately, this eighth-rank warrior reacted in time, dodged in time, and returned to the formation.

Seeing this, Xia Hao's eyes were cold.

"Since you are so stubborn, let's go in."

Xia Hao rode the Chiyan Spirit Horse, covered in armor made of refined steel, and galloped towards Guyu Pass.

When the distance was only a hundred meters away, Xia Hao's eyes were like a torch, looking at the enemy army on the city wall who was about to draw their bows and set up their arrows.

Immediately, he put his hands together, and a series of bloody sword rains were shot directly from his fingers, hitting each enemy soldier accurately.

After jumping off the Crimson Flame Spirit Horse, Xia Hao seemed to know how to do Qinggong. With a few consecutive lunges, he crossed a distance of hundreds of meters and jumped over fences and deep pits.

With another leap, he broke away from the effect of gravity, like an arrow soaring into the sky, and jumped onto the wall.

Under the horrified eyes of the enemy soldiers guarding the gate, blood and energy turned into swords. Wherever the sword light passed, flesh and blood flew everywhere, and the resistance collapsed in an instant...

"The army enters the customs!"

Si Jinglei waited for the tiger and leopard riders, and when they heard Xia Hao's voice, they also sent troops into the pass.

In front of third-rank visceral refining realm warriors, such barriers are like nothing, which can be easily broken.

……

One day later, the army arrived at Guyuan County.

At this moment, above the city of Guyuan County, Yue Tianpeng, the leader of Guyuan County, looked serious. Looking at the thousands of cavalry of the Xia army outside the city, he was ready.

"The traitor Xia Hao is a man without schemes, he can only show his courage. From my point of view, he will definitely take the lead and go to the city himself... and this is our chance."

Guyuan County has a large population, and the city wall is as wide as eight feet wide.

Now dry firewood, charcoal, and saltpeter have been piled up on it, and a lot of black kerosene has been poured on it.

Yue Tianpeng is ruthless and does not act according to common sense.

After learning that Xia Hao likes to take risks and take the lead, he came up with this method.

"After Xia Bandit comes up, immediately ignite the saltpeter, kerosene, and charcoal. I don't believe that he can escape the sea of ​​fire, unless he is really not a mortal body."

Other soldiers also echoed:
"The general's clever calculations will surely burn Xia Hao to death. Without Xia Hao's personal force to deter him, the army under his command is just a mob.

"If we can kill the Xia thief, the reputation of the general will be spread all over the world."

Yue Tianpeng looked at an ordinary-looking young man beside him, with a very respectful expression, and asked via voice transmission:

"Little uncle, can this method really kill Xia Hao? I heard that the gold medal enshrined by the Xuanjing Division of the Great Jin Dynasty has all missed."

"I sprinkled a lot of "fire powder" on these firewood and charcoal, which can quickly form a monstrous fire. The summer thief will be seriously injured if he is attached to the flames. At that time..."

The young man's eyes flickered with an inexplicable light:
"Xia Hao is extraordinary. According to what your master said, there may be a great opportunity and a great secret in him. Otherwise, his speed of cultivation would not be so fast. It may be a magical skill, or it may be a treasure."

"Then we plotted against him, and if he escaped by chance, wouldn't our sect suffer?" Yue Tianpeng asked in confusion.

"You can rest assured and follow my instructions. The sect's methods are far more powerful than you think. In addition, don't ask what you shouldn't ask. The secrets about him are not something you can get your hands on."

The young man's words were very blunt, obviously he didn't take Yue Tianpeng seriously.

Yue Tianpeng remained silent, without any rebuttal on the surface, but in his heart he was already filled with murderous intent.

His identity is just an ordinary disciple of the Tianshan Sect, far less noble than the "junior uncle" in front of him, and his strength has reached the fourth level of "Blood Tempering Realm", and he is the leader of the younger generation of the Tianshan Sect.

"It's best if you two can hurt both sides and let me get the secret. From now on, I can fly far away. The world is so big that I can control it at will."

……

"Master, do you want to persuade him to surrender?" Si Jinglei asked with a frown.

"No need." Xia Hao shook his head, from his performance at Guyu Pass, he already knew Yue Tianpeng's attitude, and he definitely refused to surrender.

He himself would not think that with a wave of his arms, the entire nine counties of Tianshan County would bow to him.

How is that possible?

Xia Hao was about to ride the red flame spirit horse to step forward to break the barrier.

Suddenly, he smelled a special smell.

"Smells like petroleum?"

In this world, there is naturally oil, which is used by the people to burn, but the amount is not large.

Smelling the strong smell of petroleum, Xia Hao restrained the Red Flame Spirit Horse and did not act rashly like before, taking the lead and attacking the city alone.

Instead, he looked at the city wall in the distance.

On the city wall, instead of arranging strong bows and crossbows, and preparing all kinds of defensive equipment such as boulders, rolling logs, and gold juice, the guards just carried weapons and stood far away from the crenels of the wall...

There are oddities.

This situation is obviously abnormal, and it seems to be waiting on the sidelines.

And the rabbit being hunted can only be himself.

"Is there an ambush on the city wall?" Xia Hao frowned slightly and returned to the formation.

"Lord, what's going on?" Si Jinglei asked quickly.

Xia Hao expressed the doubts in his heart, and talked to himself privately, and seemed to be asking for proof.

"Jing Lei, if you were the defender of the city and an enemy army came to attack, and the enemy commander must take the lead in every battle and attack the city by himself, what would you do?"

After Si Jinglei heard about it, he thought of what Xia Hao said about the situation above the city wall, and he understood it already.

"My lord, if it were me, I would definitely use all means to target the characteristics of the opponent's coach, and lay down a net to kill him."

Xia Hao was certain in his heart that there must be an ambush trap on the city wall ahead.

And this kind of ambush must be unusual, and it can kill a third-rank warrior.

After going through the battle between Tianmen Pass and the Jin Dynasty Xuanjing Division's gold medal ceremony, and experiencing the power of the "Imperial Golden Sword", Xia Hao was already highly vigilant about this world.

"According to Zhu Qiang, the magistrate of Qiyun County, the leader of Guyuan County, Yue Tianpeng, is a sixth-rank martial artist, and a member of a certain Jianghu sect.

In the world of the Great Jin Dynasty, there were many Jianghu sects, almost in every state. In addition to the four first-rate sects, there were also about ten second-rate sects.Maybe Yue Tianpeng has some unique methods? "

Xia Hao looked at Si Jinglei and ordered: "Choose a hundred warriors. The higher the archery skills, the better. Coat the arrows with kerosene. I want to burn Guyuan."

Si Jinglei's eyes lit up, and he went to make arrangements immediately.

Although they are cavalry, they also have some luggage, but the number is not large, and they have also stored some kerosene, which is enough for three salvos.

Soon, one hundred warriors came out, among which there were about twenty eighth-rank warriors, and the rest were nine-rank warriors.

When Xia Jun got closer, he was within the range of the bow and arrow.

"Use the iron tire bow, aim at the gap above the city wall, and fire a volley." Xia Hao gave the order.

Immediately, he also took out his bow and arrow, ignited the kerosene at the top of the arrow, and shot towards the Guyuan Pass city wall.

……

On the city wall of Guyuan County, Yue Tianpeng and others felt a little anxious when they saw that Xia Hao had not gone to the city.

"Little uncle, why hasn't Xia Hao come to attack the city?"

The Taoist robed youth also felt a little uneasy in his heart, and his brows were tightly frowned:
"Wait with peace of mind. His cavalry cannot attack the city."

"They came out, about 100 soldiers, and they lit rockets. No, they want to attack with fire."

Seeing this, Yue Tianpeng broke out in a cold sweat. There were fire starters everywhere in front of them, and the "fire powder" brought by the junior uncle. If they were ignited, all previous efforts would be wasted.

"Oops, I didn't expect Xia Hao to act out of common sense." The face of the Taoist-robed young man also changed dramatically, and he retreated directly and jumped off the city wall.

This move shocked Yue Tianpeng.

Thinking of the legendary "fire powder" effect, Yue Tianpeng did not dare to stay on the city wall.

But he ordered: "Come here, get water quickly and prepare to put out the fire."

……

But Xia Hao and others did not give them sufficient preparations after reaching the shooting range.

Hundreds of arrows, carrying wisps of flames, formed a parabola. Sparks flickered in the sky. Except for a few arrows, they all landed accurately on the wall of Guyuan County.

As soon as the arrow hit the ground, Mars ignited kerosene and other combustion aids, and a raging fire quickly rose at a speed beyond Xia Hao's imagination.

This flame burns at an unusual speed, within just a few breaths, it has already devoured the entire city wall. The flame rises to a height of about seven or eight feet, and one can vaguely hear the miserable roar...

Xia Hao took a closer look, sneered, and felt a little scared at the same time.

If he is really like usual, he will take the arrows and go to the city to fight regardless of the danger.

If you fall into a trap set by the other party and are caught in the sea of ​​​​fire, it is difficult to say whether you can escape unscathed.

"It seems that we can't be so reckless in the future. We need to find out the truth first, or sneak in alone."

The fire on the Guyuan city wall became more and more intense, engulfing the city tower and spreading into the city.

But now, it is the drought that lasts for May, even in the land of Tianshan County, the vegetation is already withered and yellow, and the water is lost.

Not to mention, most of the buildings in the city are made of wood. Just a single spark can start a prairie fire and burn down the entire city.

Si Jinglei looked at the fire rising in Guyuan County and felt deeply chilled. He said with emotion: "My lord, they are trapped in a cocoon. In this battle, Guyuan County may be defeated without us attacking the city."

It's just a pity that this big city with more than [-] people will also be burned. "
