Liaozhai Great Sage

Chapter 425

Outside Jinling City, the rebel army attacked the city with great momentum, and in just a few hours, the rebel army took down the Wengcheng, attacked the city wall, and almost took down Jinling City.

However, when the situation of the bandit army was in good shape, a roaring sound came from the west, and a group of cavalrymen, wearing golden armor, holding spears and swords hanging from their waists, rushed towards them roaring and roaring. The fire is enough to shatter the hearts of the bandits.

And at this moment, the sudden attack, no one on the entire battlefield was prepared for such a situation.

Any general who knows a little about military affairs knows that the most taboo thing in a battle between two armies is to be killed by cavalry from the flanks, so anyone who knows the battle formation will use cavalry to protect the two wings, which can not only prevent sneak attacks, but also wait for opportunities.

The terrible army attacked the city and pulled out the stronghold to fight under the city of Jinling. It did not rely on the skill of leading troops to fight, but it relied on the large number of people, the corruption of the imperial court, and the weakness of the city defenders.

"Boom~!"

The rolling iron hooves ran faster and faster, and nearly ten thousand war horses galloped, with such momentum, even a hundred thousand troops would tremble with fear.

Li Xiuyuan was riding a dragon colt, wearing black scale armor, and holding a golden gun in his hand, staring coldly at the battlefield that was getting closer and closer.

He slightly turned aside the soldier behind him.

These bodyguards, who had only been recruited and trained for more than a month, went to the battlefield for the first time. Although they were very powerful, they were also extremely nervous. Many of them were shouting and venting their inner tension, and their faces turned red.

But it doesn't matter.

After winning this battle and seeing blood, these bodyguards are considered real soldiers.

"Although there are many enemies, they are just a mob. I, Li Xiuyuan, dare to charge into the battle with one horse. What do you have to be afraid of? Follow me into the battle." Li Xiuyuan shouted loudly with luck.

"Kill~!"

Relying on the horse speed of the dragon colt, he took the lead in charging into the battlefield with a big gun. As the big gun picked and killed, the rebels on the left and right screamed and wailed. He fell to the ground, and then the rebel was greeted by the rolling iron hooves behind him.

Li Xiuyuan is alone in everything he goes, and no one can stop his sharpness.

It is a rare thing in ancient and modern times for a martial arts master to put on armor and lead an army to charge.

It is also a blessing for the army to meet such a general in the army.

As Li Xiuyuan took the lead in charging into the formation, he was unrivaled all the way. Seeing this, the cavalry behind him suddenly became imposing, and they all roared and followed closely behind. They stabbed left and right with the golden spears in their hands, and then the strength of the horse galloping, the bandit soldiers in front of them were unbearable. A united enemy, the bandit soldiers fled in panic wherever they passed.

If you look down on the battlefield from a high altitude, you can find that the densely packed bandit soldiers on the battlefield were forcibly torn open by an iron cavalry coming from the west.

And it's still growing rapidly.

It's like a river bursting its embankment, out of control.

"Damn it, nearly ten thousand cavalry, this Li Xiuyuan is far from being impenetrable, how can such a large army be gathered." Seeing this scene, Shi Hu's expression froze.

He was an old demon from Montenegro, whose name was Shihu, and he traveled the world in person, gathered bandits to make trouble, led troops to rebel, and knew a lot about military affairs.

Such a cavalry of nearly ten thousand cavalry would be laborious even for the imperial court, let alone Li Xiuyuan, who is a mere scholar.

But now is not the time to think about this, Shi Hu shouted at the moment: "What's going on, haven't the troops already beat the drums and withdrawn, why haven't they withdrawn yet?"

At this time, he suddenly found that the army under his command was still attacking the city and had not yet retreated.

He had clearly ordered the retreat before.

"Report to the leader, the little messengers have passed, but the little bosses said that the capture of Jinling City is in sight, and refused to obey the leader's order." A messenger rushed over, with an anxious look on his face.

"Kill, attack Jinling City, and enjoy the glory and wealth."

Under the city wall, several small leaders who supervised the battle were still shouting loudly, showing no intention of retreating.

Shi Hu's face was gloomy, and he glanced coldly at the little leaders who supervised the battle: "The people in Tiangong are really powerful, even I have their people dormant around me, but if you want to take Jinling City, you have to take it. Nearly [-] cavalry are coming, you will be fooled if you can take it, even if you really fight, you may not be able to win, let alone the current situation."

After finishing speaking, he rode away without looking back: "If you are willing to retreat with me, follow me, and if you don't want to, get out."

In the end, Shi Hu withdrew from the battlefield with less than [-] troops, but his remaining troops could not obey his orders.

In another place on the battlefield.

"Holy Aunt, the army led by Shihu is leaving the battlefield." A soldier rushed over to deliver a message.

Surrounded by all the believers, Aunt Hua's expression froze, and she looked towards the direction Shihu was attacking the city. She couldn't see the situation there, but she had been paying attention to Shihu's movements before.

If Shihu attacked her, he would attack the city; if Shihu retreated, she would retreat.

The Montenegrin old demon never does things for no reason.

"Prepare to withdraw."

Hua Gu looked at the congregation who had already attacked the city wall and was about to enter the city, and immediately shouted.

"Saint, withdraw your troops now? Our people are already going to take down Jinling City."

A congregation next to him said in disbelief.

Hua Gu coldly said: "If you are told to withdraw, then withdraw. Do you still want me to teach you? The Shihu leaders have all withdrawn. There must have been a special situation there. If you don't leave now, you may not be able to leave later. Small."

"Hey, benevolence of a woman, take down Jinling City now, Yangzhou belongs to our White Lotus Sect, you are a saint, how can you be such a child's play, do you want to sacrifice the believers who attacked the city before for nothing?"

An elder shouted sternly, his eyes opened angrily, and there was a palpitating golden light in his eyes.

"This elder is not a man but a god."

Hua Gu was shocked and felt that familiar breath.

Shi Hu said that the gods of Tiangong had already hibernated beside him and the others, but the Taoism was too high, and his whereabouts were hidden, so he couldn't tell.

Now at this critical juncture, the God of Tiangong doesn't want to hide his identity.

"If this is not a battlefield, and the blood is full of evil spirits, this god will definitely show up and cast spells to subdue me."

Hua Gu was afraid in her heart, she didn't dare to stay here, she hurriedly said: "If you want to retreat with me, you can go, if you don't want to, you can do it yourself."

After finishing speaking, she didn't miss these believers, and turned around on horseback and ran away.

In the end, she just hurriedly retreated to the battlefield with a handful of three or 4000 troops.

In this battlefield, everyone is a chess piece from the beginning to the end, and there are only two people who play chess, the Tianzun in the heavenly palace and the saint in the world, Li Xiuyuan.

If you don't want to die here as a pawn, you have to escape.

However, their retreat had little impact on the battlefield, because 10,000+ people attacked the city, leaving more than [-] people was nothing at all, and the trend of the bandit army was still there.

"Kill~!"

How can Li Xiuyuan control the escape of a few thieves at the moment, what he wants to win is this battle.

Leading the cavalry all the way to kill, the bandit army was empty wherever they passed. After only one charge, the bandits on the southern city wall retreated instantly. Losing his momentum, he actually started to fight back.

"Look, it's reinforcements, reinforcements from the imperial court."

"Great, we are saved, we know that the imperial court will not give up on us."

"What are you doing there in a daze? The reinforcements are killing the enemy outside the city. We must rise up bravely and repel the bandits."

"Kill, avenge your brother."

No matter how timid the army is, after seeing blood, fighting, and being defeated, and seeing the cavalry on their own side outside the city fighting and defeating the enemy, they will instantly cheer up.

For a while, the situation on the southern city wall was very good, the rear of the bandit army was cut off, there was no continuous stream of bandit army attacking the city wall, and if one was killed, one less would be lost. The army drum for retreat was sounded, which made the bandit army lose their momentum even more.

"Boom"

Li Xiuyuan's cavalry killed the southern city wall and ran towards the eastern city wall. They only needed to circle the city, and even a hundred thousand troops would be defeated.

"Come on, those who attack Jinling City will be rewarded with a thousand pieces of gold." A small leader was still roaring hoarsely, supervising the battle, urging the army behind him to continue to attack.

Maybe it was too chaotic on the battlefield, or Li Xiuyuan led the cavalry to charge so fast that the remaining people didn't know after killing the bandits on a city wall.

When Li Xiuyuan came to kill him with a gun, the little leader didn't know it at all.

"Hey~!"

The cold light came and pierced the little leader's body in an instant. A blood-stained dragon horse neighed. Li Xiuyuan provoked the little leader who was supervising the battle, and threw him away by the way.

"Li, Li Xiuyuan?"

The little leader suddenly opened his eyes wide when he saw him, his face full of disbelief.

"You actually know me?"

There was a trace of strangeness on Li Xiuyuan's indifferent face.

"Hey~!"

Immediately afterwards, a scent of incense leaked from the torn hole on the little leader's body. The whole person was like a deflated balloon, and his originally strong and powerful body shriveled up in an instant.

A piece of human skin hung limply on his spear.

Human skin?

Li Xiuyuan was furious immediately, and looked back, only to see that the incense was condensed, and a figure of a golden armored god appeared vaguely.

This little leader is not a human being, but a god descended from the heavenly palace.

But as soon as the golden-armored god behind him appeared, he let out a miserable cry. His body was hit by the iron cavalry behind him, and the incense burst into pieces in an instant, and then was eroded by an invisible evil spirit, blood energy, and soon disappeared. Completely disappeared on the battlefield.

More than [-] people fought on the battlefield, how could a mere god stand such evil spirits, the impact of blood energy would collapse on the spot.

People send murderous intentions, and the sky and the earth repeat themselves. This is not just talking.

If the fighting in the world is fierce enough, this evil spirit is enough to kill the passing gods.

Legend has it that at the end of the Qin Dynasty and the Han Dynasty Gaozu rebelled, he raised his arms and breathed out, and his breath rushed to the sky, shaking a white snake that was about to achieve Taoism from the sky.
