After the long sword penetrated the giant, it hovered in mid-air, then began to tremble violently, then changed its direction and smashed down towards the strong man in the fusion stage in the main formation.
The strong man in the Fusion Stage crossed his legs and formed seals with his hands quickly, dazzled.
As his seals changed, runes emerged one after another, then rose upwards and overlapped one after another, but each followed a different trajectory.
The next moment, the long sword fell directly, carrying the wind and thunder flames, and landed on the runes.
"Crack!"
There was a crisp sound, like the sound of glass breaking, and all the runes shattered and scattered in all directions.
Li Xiuping raised his hand and flipped over, and countless long swords appeared out of thin air, and then converged towards the giant sword, continuously superimposing on the giant sword.
The entire ground exploded directly where the strong man in the integration stage was, and the giant sword also suppressed it directly downwards. The sky was filled with dust for a while, and it was impossible to see the situation in the field clearly.
The dust just started to spread, then spread directly to all directions, and soon disappeared without a trace.
On the ground, everything was as before. The strong man in the Fusion Stage was still sitting cross-legged with the seal in his hand, but the long swords driven by Li Xiuping had disappeared.
The next moment, the body of this strong man in the integration stage trembled slightly, and then a mouthful of blood spurted out. The look on his face quickly dimmed. A pair of eyes looked at Li Xiuping in disbelief, and his lips moved, as if what you want to say.
Li Xiuping raised his hand, and a long sword appeared from his body, and then disappeared from Li Xiuping's side. The body of the strong man in the integration stage burned with blazing flames, and the flames seemed to explode from the inside out. out.
In just an instant, a strong man in the Fusion Stage was reduced to ashes in the flames!
Li Xiuping did not kill all the seriously injured strong men, his body just disappeared on the spot and continued northward.
Those strong men just looked at Li Xiuping walking away, and no one took action to stop him.
Li Xiuping passed through all the obstacles and was unstoppable, but he himself was not relaxed and felt heavy.
The situation here is far more complicated than he imagined. This is just a blockage on the way north. The other party has obviously not tried its best. The real obstacle is when going south.
Even if he really met Xu Bansheng, it would definitely be more difficult than now to take Xu Bansheng south.
But he had to do this, and no one could stop him...
…
Cangshan City.
A small city is now surrounded by tens of thousands of troops, and not even a fly can escape.
The entire Cangshan City has been besieged for three full months. During these three months, Cangshan City has completely lost contact with the outside world.
At this moment, a young man wearing white armor climbed onto the tower and looked at the army stationed outside the city with an expressionless face.
Xu Bansheng did not expect that he would lead three thousand elite troops north this time, and the journey would be smooth, but after entering Cangshan City, the entire Cangshan City would become desperate overnight.
He didn't know what was happening outside, but he could guess the other party's purpose.
The Xia Dynasty simply used him as bait to lure the Zhou Dynasty to send troops for rescue, and then set up an ambush halfway to reduce the Zhou Dynasty's military strength. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for the opponent's troops, which were ten times his, to attack in three months. There is no less than a small Cangshan City.
Xu Bansheng asked: "Is there anything strange?"
A city guarding general replied: "After launching a raid the night before, there has been no movement until now."
The general then added: "Obviously, these guys don't really want to attack the city, but they want to trap us here."
Xu Bansheng nodded and asked, "How much food and grass is left in the city?"
The general shook his head and said: "It can only last for two days at most, and it's all left over from the brothers who tightened their belts. Almost all the horses that can be killed have been killed. For this reason, many people have sneaked out of the city, but the other party did not Surrender, all..."
Xu Bansheng nodded and said: "When we first came here, we already knew that this trip would lead to a narrow escape from death. The current situation is just expected, but we can't just sit back and wait for death."
The general was stunned and didn't quite understand what he meant.
Nowadays, a large army is surrounding Cangshan City, and the water is suffocating, and the opponent does not accept surrender. Besides waiting to die, is there any other way?
Xu Bansheng glanced at the sky, and then said: "Pay close attention to the movements outside, and report any abnormalities at any time. After dark, let all brothers eat and drink enough, and we will fight out overnight."
The general was a little stunned, but he didn't say anything and just nodded.
The disparity in military strength is so huge. You can still survive in this city now. Once you leave Cangshan City, you will be the target of the soldiers of the Xia Dynasty. Even if you attack overnight, even if this team has amazing combat power, they will never be able to break out of Xia Dynasty. Surrounded by the dynasty's army.
But now there seems to be no other way besides this.
Since they are all dead, instead of waiting for death in this city, it is better to kill a few more Xia people while there is still breath left.
After Xu Bansheng finished speaking, he sat down, leaning against the pillars of the tower, looking at the sky, as if thinking about something.
After a while, Xu Bansheng asked: "Do you have anyone you like?"
The general was stunned for a moment, then shook his head.
Xu Bansheng smiled and said: "It's okay if you don't have it, otherwise you really don't want to die."
The general hesitated for a moment, but probably felt that he would fight the Xia people anyway, so he asked: "General, do you miss your majesty?"
Xu Bansheng smiled and said: "I think about it every day, but not today."
The general was stunned.
Xu Bansheng said quietly: "I don't know why, but what I think about the most today is one of my brothers?"
The general asked: "Brothers from Huayang Sect?"
Xu Bansheng nodded and said: "That's right, but that guy was expelled from Huayang Sect, and he did a lot of earth-shattering things after that, but... just..."
It's just something, he didn't say it for a long time, and then sighed: "That's all, we will meet soon anyway, and we have to have a few drinks then."
He looked at the general, as if he was showing off, and said, "Did you know? My brother is really powerful. If he knew that I was trapped here, he would definitely come to save me."
The general nodded.
Xu Bansheng said with a smile: "But if he really wants to die, I really don't want him to come. It's too embarrassing."
The general still didn't speak, so Xu Bansheng seemed to be talking to himself, and fell asleep just like that.
The general sighed, took off his cloak and covered the general.
He knew Xu Bansheng. Ever since Xu Bansheng came to the army, he had been following this general who was born in an immortal sect but joined the army. He fought in many famous battles. With his own efforts to turn the tide, at least half of the brothers in their army were rescued from the dead by General Xu.
So when they knew that General Xu was going north to assassinate the emperor of the Xia Dynasty, they knew that this trip would lead to death, but they still chose to follow him, just to give their lives back to General Xu.
It was also this time that they learned that the reason why General Xu gave up his spiritual practice and joined the army was because of their Queen. At that time, they also felt that only someone like General Xu was worthy of their Queen. His Majesty.
In their eyes, General Xu is the God of War, a magical figure who will never get tired, let alone fall. But now he knows that General Xu is actually tired, and like ordinary people like them, he will like a girl very much, and will even give up everything for that girl, including his life.
It turned out that General Xu had not slept for days and nights, and would fall asleep from exhaustion. When he was about to face death, he would also nag about people and things that he couldn't let go of...
The general said: "General, I, Yang Yun, will be able to die on the battlefield with you in this life. I have no regrets."
After speaking, he looked at the army outside the city, his eyes full of determination and determination.
The sun sets and night falls.
Xu Bansheng, who had been sleeping soundly, seemed to suddenly wake up from a dream. The first thing he did when he woke up was to turn around and look at the situation outside the city.
After finding nothing unusual, I breathed a sigh of relief.
At this time, the general came over and said, "General, are you awake?"
Xu Bansheng asked: "When is it?"
The general replied: "It's just past three quarters of Hai hour."
Xu Bansheng slapped his head and blamed himself: "I almost missed the point."
The general said: "The general's order has been conveyed to the subordinates, and the brothers are all ready. We are just waiting for the general's order."
Xu Bansheng looked at the general and asked, "Your name is Yang Yun?"
Yang Yun was stunned and nodded.
Xu Bansheng sighed: "If you hadn't followed me, you would have been able to become a knight and prime minister in the future. Wouldn't you regret it later?"
Yang Yun smiled and said: "If you can't follow the general, you will regret it."
Xu Bansheng smiled slightly and said: "From today on, we are brothers."
Yang Yun was stunned again.
Xu Bansheng had already walked down the tower, and Yang Yun could only follow.
Under the tower, there were now less than 3,000 soldiers waiting, all talking in low voices.
Xu Bansheng walked to the front of the army, then pulled up a bench, stood on it, and said loudly: "I, Xu Bansheng, brought you out, but I can't bring you back. Now I am waiting for you." Being in a desperate situation with no possibility of survival, I, Xu Bansheng, can't stand up to you all."
Everyone said in unison: "We are not afraid."
Xu Bansheng smiled and said: "Yes, they are all good. Since we are going to die, we must die vigorously. We must let these Xia people know that we, the Zhou people, are not something they can easily conquer."
He drew out the long sword in his hand and said loudly: "Generals, listen to the order. The direction pointed by the sword's edge is the direction."
Everyone shouted in unison: "The direction pointed by the sword's edge is the direction."
Xu Bansheng continued: "Open the city gate!"
The south city gate opened directly, and a gust of night wind blew in, rolling up the yellow sand on the battlefield.
"kill!"
Xu Bansheng pointed the long sword in his hand, and the army rushed out directly towards the south city. In the night, it looked like a rushing river.
But as soon as these checkmates left the city, countless arrows rained down, and then the soldiers in front fell down directly in response, and the soldiers behind stepped on the corpses of their comrades and continued to move forward to welcome the next wave of arrows...
