From Yitian, the sword pressed the heavens

Chapter 33 Raising the Anti-Flag and Attacking Haozhou

What Zhang Wuji didn't expect was that.

Since the head of the bald donkey was chopped off and sent to Shaolin, the Shaolin Temple, which was still tough before, died down without any movement.

Such an abnormal behavior not only did not let Zhang Wuji breathe a sigh of relief, but made him even more afraid of this behemoth.

After all, dogs that bite people don’t bark!

But he didn't keep his eyes on Shaolin Temple.

Because the rebellion of Mingjiao and the five major sects has spread in full swing in the south of the Yangtze River.

One month after Zhang Wuji returned to Guangmingding, Green Winged Bat King Wei Yixiao quietly led a brigade of Mingjiao elites down the mountain to support the southern battlefield.

Two months later, the White-Browed Eagle King led the former Tianying Sect to join the battlefield.

On the third day after the White-Browed Eagle King left, Zhang Wuji led the Five Elements Banner and the last Mingjiao elite on the Bright Peak to Haozhou City, where the battle was most intense.

Under the leadership of the altar master Zhu Yuanzhang, the Fengyang sub-altar here is very powerful, and the rebel army has reached [-].

When Zhang Wuji arrived at the Haozhou battlefield, Zhu Yuanzhang was leading an army to attack Haozhou City. The war had lasted for three days and three nights. Both the rebel army and the Yuan Dynasty defenders in Haozhou City suffered heavy casualties.

"Master, the city of Haozhou is too tall. The brothers have attacked it five times and have been unable to attack it for a long time."

"We don't have siege equipment, and we don't have experience in attacking big cities. We are really aggrieved." Zhu Yuanzhang stood beside Zhang Wuji in iron armor, reporting the battle situation, his face full of helplessness.

"I know your difficulties, that's why I'm here!" Zhang Wuji said in a deep voice.

They were standing on the top of a small hill, just in time to see the fierce siege battle under the city of Haozhou.

Zhu Yuanzhang did not exaggerate. The so-called siege now means that the insurgents are taking their lives to fill up the city, without any rules.

He glanced at all the powerful figures in the Fengyang branch standing in front of him.

Xu Da, Chang Yuchun, Tang He, Zheng Yu, Hua Yun.

Each of them is a famous general of Ming Dynasty in later generations. To be honest, Zhang Wuji was a little excited to be able to fight with these people on the battlefield.

But obviously they are still very immature now, and the immature ones don't even know how to fight.

"Let the brothers who are attacking the city withdraw, or the morale will be lost if the fight continues like this," Zhang Wuji ordered.

"Yes!" Zhu Yuanzhang secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

In fact, he already had the idea of ​​retreating, but because the leader came in person, he always had to worry about the leader's face.

After all, strictly speaking, from the moment Zhang Wuji arrived, he had already taken over the command of this army from him.

Before the leader spoke, you ordered the withdrawal of troops?

Do you want to try the sword in the master's hand, or is it bad!
Does Zhu Yuanzhang know that his leader is a ruthless person, the heads of dozens of monks in Shaolin Temple will be chopped off just because of a few provocative words, can this be done if they are not ruthless?
To be honest, although he was somewhat resistant to Zhang Wuji's arrival, he was terribly cowardly in the face of Zhang Wuji.

"Master, I think we can go this way next step. Since we can't take down a big city like Haozhou, we can attack Ping'an County, where there are not enough Yuan soldiers to guard, we can still give it a try!" Zhu Yuanzhang issued an order to retreat, and immediately returned Started to give Zhang Wuji ideas.

He positioned himself very accurately, Zhang Wuji's staff officer.

After all, although Zhang Wuji's martial arts are superb, it's hard to talk about marching and fighting. He doesn't want the tens of thousands of people he managed to pull together to be wiped out by Zhang Wuji's mess.

"Walk?"

"I didn't say I was leaving!"

Zhang Wuji glanced at Zhu Yuanzhang and said with a smile: "You just have to wait, I will take the city. Let's go to Haozhou City to drink and eat meat tonight."

As Zhang Wuji said, he pulled out his sword at his waist, turned his head and said loudly: "Five Elements Banner listens to orders, Ruijin Banner will charge with me, Fire Banner, cover during floods, Giant Wooden Banner, Thick Earth Banner, let me attack the city gate. "

"Yes!" Behind Zhang Wuji, the five-element flag bearer bowed and answered, and the team of thousands of people began to move quickly like a machine.

"Master, no, how can you go to the battlefield with a golden body!" Zhu Yuanzhang was a little frightened at this moment, he never thought that Zhang Wuji would be so reckless.

Marching and fighting is not like fighting with martial arts masters. Even if an acquired master falls into the enemy's line, he will still die without a place to die if his true energy is exhausted.

What's more, we are attacking the city now, and the giant continuous crossbow placed on the top of Haozhou city is not a decoration. The arrows fired by this crossbow are three meters long, which is much sharper than a full-strength blow by an acquired master.

In the branch he was in, there were first-class martial arts masters assigned by Zhang Wuji, but the role they could play in the siege battle was too small.

If the leader died with him, then he really couldn't bear it and walked away.

Not to mention death, but to be injured, it is estimated that he will be killed ten or eight times by the masters in the headquarters.

"What the hell is the body of a thousand gold, I came here to fight."

Zhang Wuji was full of spirits, got on his horse and laughed loudly: "Master Zhu Tan, please watch from below, my master will teach you how to fight today."

At the same time as these words sounded, Zhang Wuji had already rushed down the hill on horseback. Behind him, [-] masters of the Sharp Gold Banner, led by the banner envoy Zhuang Zheng, followed Zhang Wuji straight towards the city wall of Haozhou City like a torrent of steel.

"It's over, it's over!"

Zhu Yuanzhang was full of panic, gritted his teeth and said fiercely: "Xu Da, Chang Yuchun, you two each bring 5000 people to prepare for the response, and remember that no matter what happens later, you must protect the safety of the leader, even if your heads fall, You can't let the leader shed a single hair."

Xu Da opened his mouth to say something, but in the end he could only sigh.

Chang Yuchun was much more upright, and he couldn't help but vomit while drawing out the big knife on his back: "Master Zhang is too good at making trouble!"

"Scatter!" Approaching Haozhou City three miles away, Zhuang Zheng yelled, and the 800 people fanned out immediately.

"Huh!" A piercing whistling came towards Zhang Wuji's position with heavy pressure.

Zhang Wuji jumped up from his horse abruptly, and pushed out with his palm while the universe was moving. The three-meter-long crossbow arrow that was coming towards him was slapped flying by his palm, and pierced obliquely into the open space beside him.

"Come ten people to follow me, don't be afraid of crossbow arrows!" Zhang Wuji turned over and sat back on his horse, shouting loudly.

The ten second-rate masters immediately changed their formation and followed closely behind Zhang Wuji.

"Hoo hoo!" Three crossbow arrows shot towards him again.

Zhang Wuji drew out his long sword with a swish, and the blade trembled slightly.

"Shua, Shua, Shua!" Three sword lights flashed, and all the crossbow arrows broke from the middle, and were cut in half by Zhang Wuji.

"Flying axe!" Zhang Wuji yelled when he was already one mile away from the city wall, and jumped up from his horse.

Hearing Zhang Wuji's call, the ten second-rate masters behind him swung out the throwing axes that had been ready to go.

"Bang bang bang!" All the flying axes carrying great power were deeply embedded in the walls of Haozhou City.

Moreover, these throwing axes are evenly distributed, forming a long ladder from top to bottom.

Zhang Wuji tapped a throwing ax with his toe, and Ti Yun stretched out, swinging upwards.

Just when he was about to exhaust himself, another throwing ax appeared at his feet.

Zhang Wuji's speed didn't stop at all, and it only took three breaths to touch the throwing ax with his toes, and he jumped up the eight-meter-high city wall.

When he stood at the head of Haozhou city with his sword in hand, the Yuan army hadn't even installed the second round of crossbow arrows.
