Chapter 15: Go Back Now
Chen Xia asked the princess to wait for him for three days.
On the first day,
he stayed at home and had a good rest, turning over a few times.
On the second day,
he cleaned the house thoroughly, went fishing by the town entrance for a while, and then strolled back home at a leisurely pace.
On the third day,
in the evening, Chen Xia summoned the three major leaders, asked for the location of the border war, and began his journey.
With just one step, he instantly appeared a kilometer away, approaching the border at an exceptionally terrifying speed.
If someone could see from the sky, they would find Chen Xia's figure almost flickering within the territory of the Great Song, occasionally stopping to watch the commotion of other people's quarrels.
Inside the border city, a soldier reported.
"General, the barbarians have launched another attack, with 100,000 iron cavalry charging towards the city."
The woman, dressed in heavy armor and sitting in the main seat, looked troubled, "Let the soldiers prepare their bows and arrows, guard the city head, do not go out of the city, just shoot and kill the barbarians."
"Okay." The soldier listened to the command and was about to retreat.
"Also, let the martial arts masters in the city pay attention to the defense of the city, and not let the barbarian masters take advantage of the gap."
The soldier responded again and quickly left the tent.
The woman pinched her nose bridge and asked the general next to her with sorrow, "Has the immortal not arrived yet?"
The general on the left quickly replied, "The soldiers guarding the city in the rear have not heard the news, so it is estimated that the immortal should not have arrived yet."
The woman nodded helplessly, "I hope so, among the barbarians, there is an invincible warrior who broke through 3,300 armors last time, almost to the point of a single person affecting the outcome of the battle."
The general quickly replied, "This barbarian is divinely brave, but we also have martial arts masters, and they should be able to block him on the battlefield."
The woman shook her head, her eyebrows and eyes full of helplessness, and replied.
"I went to ask Zuo Feiyang, and he said that he and the old monk together are still a bit worse than this barbarian warrior, and it is difficult to win. If they fight to the end, it is likely that the barbarian will take their lives."
The general was stunned and said in disbelief, "Is this barbarian warrior really so invincible?"
The woman breathed out, "Six years ago, when this barbarian warrior emerged, he broke through 3,300 armors and killed out a reputation. Since then, the battlefields with him have been invincible. If it were not for Zuo Feiyang and other martial arts masters to block, the city would have been broken."
The general was stunned for a moment, nodded dazedly, "Now it seems that only by inviting the immortal can we block him."
"Not necessarily." The woman's expression condensed, denied this statement, and her tone became serious, continuing to say.
"I suspect that the barbarians and the overseas Qi practitioners are colluding."
"Qi practitioners?" The general was stunned for a moment, frowned and asked, "Didn't the Qi practitioners close the island a hundred years ago and declare that they would not interfere in the world?"
"Do you believe what he says?" The woman countered, and then said.
"There are many methods of the barbarians that seem to be manipulated by Qi practitioners, especially the city-breaking battle six years ago, the weather was unusually hot, and the fire in the city's food and grass continued for hundreds of meters, causing chaos before the battle, giving the barbarians an opportunity."
When the woman said this, the general also felt that the fire that day was too strange. Although it was spontaneous combustion, it didn't seem like it.
"I am worried that the barbarian warrior and the overseas Qi practitioners have joined forces. They are already powerful, and if they add the many divine powers of the overseas Qi practitioners and me, I am afraid that they will not fear the immortal at that time."
The general frowned and argued, "But the immortal has the divine power to break rivers and destroy mountains with a flick of the finger. If he really takes action, how can the barbarian warrior win?"
The woman's eyebrows and eyes were full of sorrow, she nodded and replied, "I hope so."
After that, she no longer talked about this topic, walked outside, and went to the city head to supervise the war.
Before getting close, one could see the city head filled with firelight, the soldiers stood side by side, looking at the city with a serious expression.
The woman approached and asked the general, "What is the situation now?"
The general quickly replied, "My lord, the barbarian iron cavalry is hovering a kilometer away, not in a hurry to attack the city. Our side's bows and arrows can't shoot, and we can only continue to guard the city."
"Hmm." The woman nodded in response, frowning and looking at the bottom of the city. A kilometer away, the barbarian iron cavalry could be seen hovering and observing, not charging.
This is not good for the defending side. The iron cavalry can hover and rest around, with less pressure, without worrying, and it is more convenient to rest and replenish.
But the defending side can't. The defending side needs to focus on guarding the city. Once the barbarian iron cavalry has any movement, the defending soldiers have to be alert.
In the long run, the defending side will definitely be dazed and confused.
The woman sighed, generally facing this tactic, only tenaciously holding on, there is no other good method.
If the will of the soldiers is strong enough, they can hold on.
It's just that the barbarian iron cavalry has no intention of attacking, just dragging on, occasionally a team of iron cavalry suddenly charges to the front, but before the soldiers can shoot arrows, they laugh and run back.
Teasing, this is a naked tease.
But what can the defending soldiers do? They can only listen to the mocking laughter of the barbarian iron cavalry and remain silent.
When it was a little bright.
The defending soldiers were a bit tired and needed to be replaced by others to guard.
Suddenly, a heavy hoof sound was heard outside the city, as if the earth was trembling underfoot, and tens of thousands of iron cavalry charged together, without any effort left.
The defending soldiers hurriedly cheered up, bent their bows and arrows, and prepared to shoot at the barbarians.
In front of the iron cavalry, there was a figure that rushed out extremely fast, without stopping, charging at the forefront of the soldiers, and you could see deep footprints where he stepped, and with a casual leap, it was dozens of meters away.
"It's the barbarian warrior, Tiemuwu!"
The soldiers exclaimed in surprise and ordered the soldiers to shoot arrows as soon as possible.
A huge rain of arrows covered the iron cavalry, and at the same time, they wanted to kill Tiemuwu.
Tiemuwu waved his hand forward with one hand, directly breaking dozens of arrows in front of him, and continued to attack the city.
A distance of a kilometer, but only five breaths of time.
Tiemuwu was about to step on the city head, and the soldiers looked panicked. They could fight ordinary people, but how could they face a character like Tiemuwu?
Tiemuwu alone could kill all the soldiers on the city head!
Fortunately, before Tiemuwu got on the city head, there was a sword in the city that swept out and cut him down the city, and then a figure quickly followed, fighting with Tiemuwu under the city.
In an instant, there was an old monk in the city, wearing a red and red Kasaya, jumping out, shouting towards the city.
"Feiyang little friend, I will help you!"
Under the city wall, it is the confrontation between the two top masters and the barbarian warrior, fighting fiercely, and just the Qi Gong detonated the surrounding dozens of meters, and even the charging iron cavalry did not dare to approach around.
The attack and kill of both sides officially started, and the momentum was huge.
Chen Xia is still on the way, watching two women fighting. The plot here is not simple. He has been watching for more than three hours, and finally figured it out.
I have to say, even TV dramas don't have such a twisted plot.
Every time Chen Xia thought it was over, it turned out to be just the beginning of another story.
These two women have pulled out at least 80% of the gossip in this town.
Chen Xia just finished listening now, and he couldn't help but sigh, "Wonderful."
He looked up at the sky and suddenly thought of something.
"Am I late?"
Chen Xia muttered to himself, no longer procrastinating, and hurriedly rushed to the border, his figure flickering, faster than before.
The war has been burning for two hours.
The situation of the border city is not optimistic, and the iron cavalry has attacked to an extreme, fiercely hitting the city gate.
The city gate is in danger and has been damaged.
The fight between the two top masters and the barbarian warrior is also not optimistic, and now it is at a disadvantage.
This barbarian warrior seems to have endless strength, and his hands are open and unrestrained, with no restraint at all. He has a strong protective Qi on his body, making Zuo Feiyang and the old monk unable to hurt him.
And Zuo Feiyang and the old monk are already out of internal strength and can't resist the full attack of the barbarian warrior.
"Huh." Zuo Feiyang took a breath, just wanted to catch his breath, but Tiemuwu didn't give him a chance, and directly hit a face with a fist.
Zuo Feiyang blocked with his sword, his figure slightly tilted, wanting to unload the force, but he was hit by the flying sword, and his body couldn't bear the subsequent pressure, and he flew out directly, rolling two circles before standing up with the help of the force.
His sword hand was shaking, looking at the iron wood in front of him, and he couldn't believe it.
"You have made a breakthrough again?!"
Tiemuwu said the awkward language of the Great Song, sneering back: "The martial path should go up, you two wastes stop, and naturally, you will be eliminated."
Zuo Feiyang just wanted to reply.
Tiemuwu broke the ground, and his figure instantly arrived in front of Zuo Feiyang, his tall body shrouded Zuo Feiyang, a fist raised high, and the fist Qi rolled the air, creating a vacuum area, and killed Zuo Feiyang with a hammer!
The old monk wanted to save him, but he was restricted by the rolling soil under his feet. He opened his eyes wide in surprise and shouted.
"Qi practitioners!"
Boom!
The fist fell.
Zuo Feiyang's body was like a broken kite, flying in front of the city wall, breaking his right arm, and even his sword fell somewhere.
If it was a stalemate before, then it is broken now.
The barbarians have the advantage.
The woman stood at the highest point of the city head, looking at the scene under the city wall with bitterness, shaking her head helplessly, and said sadly.
"We have been guarding for six years, is today the end?"
"You should retreat later, we still have a defensive line behind, let us handle it here."
The woman shook her head and said with a wry smile, "Where can we retreat to? Six years ago, we had already retreated a hundred miles. Now if we retreat again, we can only retreat to the capital."
"I have no face to face the people of the Great Song, let me live and die with the city."
"Sir..."
The general shouted sadly, but he couldn't say anything. He simply walked out of the tent, preparing to take up his knife and fight the enemy!
And the hole in the damaged city gate is getting bigger and bigger.
The ferocious laughter of the barbarians has been able to come in through the hole, which is very harsh.
The iron cavalry is holding a huge cone, constantly hitting the city gate, and every time it can tear a mouth.
And when the mouth begins to get bigger, it can no longer be stopped.
The soldiers in the city stood inside the city gate, took up their weapons, and prepared to fight after the barbarian iron cavalry broke the city.
They are likely to die.
But no one cares, just want to guard the city.
With the impact of the barbarian's huge cone, the city gate finally couldn't hold on and made a burdened cry, collapsing downwards.
The only barrier is gone.
The barbarian iron cavalry appeared in front of them, with a very ferocious face.
When the last dull sound of the city gate came out.
A figure appeared between the two armies, with a lazy tone, casually waved his hand and said.
"Go back now."
