Xu Bansheng took the lead, relying on the long sword in his hand to clear the way for the army behind him. However, as he continued to move forward, it was difficult for him to take care of the entire army on his own. Therefore, although the entire team continued to charge forward, they were already at this moment. There were heavy casualties.
Xu Bansheng did not dare to look back. He was afraid that he would hesitate if he looked back, so even though he could feel the soldiers behind him falling continuously, as long as he did not see it with his own eyes, he would be determined to continue moving forward.
The Xia Dynasty did not seem to expect that this army would launch a breakthrough, and did not react for a while, so the first line of defense was quickly broken through. However, as Xu Bansheng and others reached the second line of defense, they began to encounter There was strong resistance, and troops from all around began to encircle the army again.
With Xu Bansheng's level of strength, it is not difficult to leave, but he is the commander-in-chief of this army. It is impossible for him to leave these soldiers and escape on his own. What's more, since the Xia Dynasty has set up this situation, I am afraid that except for this army that surrounds them, In the army, there are many practitioners secretly.
As the army encircled them, they began to form a formation and charge, constantly shrinking the encirclement.
At this moment, even if Xu Bansheng was a half-step Nascent Soul warrior, it was no longer possible to break out of the siege unless he ignored the lives and deaths of those soldiers.
Facing the charge of the Xiang Dynasty army, the team led by Xu Bansheng fought bloody battles, and then continued to fall. The already small number of people decreased at a terrifying speed.
The battle completely turned into a one-sided situation. The Xia Dynasty army relied on its numerical advantage and used human sea tactics to continuously consume the combat power of Xu Bansheng's army.
The entire ground has been completely dyed red with blood, and the air is filled with a strong smell of blood. Even the moon in the sky seems to be reflected in a blood-red color.
Several generals walked up to Xu Bansheng and said, "General, you go first. With your strength, it shouldn't be difficult to break out."
Xu Bansheng shook his head and said: "If I can't take you out, then I, Xu Bansheng, will die with you."
Those generals seemed to want to say something more, but Xu Bansheng was the first to say: "Since the other party has already planned, they must have made arrangements. Even if I really leave you alone, I'm afraid I won't be able to break out."
Xu Bansheng smiled and said: "If you guys die, I, Xu Bansheng, will naturally die too."
He turned to look at the army ahead and said proudly: "But even if you die, you still have to pull a few backers."
As he spoke, he tore off his robe, shook the long sword in his hand, and said, "Form up a defense and let these Xia people know that if they want to eat us, they have to break a few teeth first."
After the words fell, the army no longer continued to be sudden, but changed its formation to focus on defense.
At this time, the Xia Dynasty's army rushed in, but this round of attack did not cause this army huge losses like before. On the contrary, this round of attack by the Xia Dynasty almost wiped out the entire army.
However, the Xia Dynasty did not stop attacking. As the flag was waved, another round of attacks continued, again and again.
Under such constant impact, both sides suffered heavy losses. I don't know how long it took, but the team led by Xu Bansheng, which numbered nearly 3,000 people, only had a few hundred left at this moment.
On the ground, the corpses of soldiers from the Xia Dynasty and soldiers from the Zhou Dynasty were piled up together, and it was impossible to tell who was who.
These corpses were like a hill at the moment, and Xu Bansheng and his group were standing on this mountain of corpses.
The Xia Dynasty's army was still charging, and then became part of the mountain of corpses.
This battle continued until the next morning. The Xia Dynasty probably felt that the losses in this battle were too serious, or it may be that they felt that the remaining people on the other side were no longer a threat, so they actually stopped attacking.
Xu Bansheng was covered in blood, holding a gun in one hand and a sword in the other, standing on the mountain of corpses, looking ahead.
The red sun is rising, its light is brilliant, but it is like the setting sun.
The original team of nearly 3,000 people now only had a few dozen people left. Standing with Xu Bansheng, they were all covered in blood.
Xu Bansheng's eyes were bloodshot and he said loudly: "Come on!"
Under the mountain of corpses, countless soldiers of the Xia Dynasty were holding weapons. At this moment, they were continuously retreating after being shouted at.
They had naturally heard of Xu Bansheng, who was the undefeated God of War of the Xia Dynasty. It was because of this man that the Xia Dynasty suffered heavy losses in the previous battles.
Although they had never seen those rumors, they had personally participated in today's battle. It was as if the Zhou people had won.
A loud shout scared off the entire Xia Dynasty army. Xu Bansheng stuck his spear on the mountain of corpses and laughed.
A Xia Dynasty general rode a war horse forward, and the Xia Dynasty soldiers moved out of the way.
This man walked all the way to the bottom of the corpse mountain, looked up at the few Zhou Dynasty soldiers left on the corpse mountain, and said: "As expected of the elite of the Zhou Dynasty, worthy of General Xu, with less than 3,000 soldiers, If you can cause such heavy losses to our army, General Xu will have no regrets even if he dies."
Xu Bansheng smiled and said: "I, Zhou Erlang, are all like this. Although I, Xu Bansheng, die today, there will be Zhao Bansheng and Hu Bansheng in the future. You, the Xia Dynasty, want to go south, you are wishful thinking!"
The general of the Xia Dynasty smiled and said: "Whether it is wishful thinking or not, General Xu should not be able to see it. To be honest, a person like General Xu is really admirable by me. It is a pity that a death order has been issued from above. General Xu will die today." undoubtedly."
After that, he saluted Xu Bansheng and said: "This salute is for General Xu of the Zhou Dynasty, not for the monk Xu Bansheng."
After saying that, he raised his right hand holding the riding whip, and the surrounding Xia Dynasty troops immediately raised their crossbows and pointed them at the few people on the corpse mountain.
As the Xia Dynasty descended and lowered his right hand, countless arrows rained down.
Xu Bansheng stood on the mountain of corpses, looking at the rain of arrows that blocked the sky. He seemed to have something to say, but he didn't speak.
Then he closed his eyes and did not circulate the true energy in his body to resist the rain of arrows.
Under such a dense rain of arrows, even if he used the little zhenqi in his body, he might not be able to stop it.
Xu Bansheng just didn't expect that he would die in a foreign country, on such a battlefield, and under thousands of arrows.
He has been practicing in the Huayang Sect since he was a child. He has been exposed to things in the world of cultivation since he was a child. Naturally, what he yearns for is cultivation as an immortal, not fame on the battlefield. But his end is actually in this mortal world. battlefield.
He also thought about making a name for himself in the spiritual world like Li Xiuping, but for the woman named Zhou Xueying, he chose a completely different path, giving up his identity as a practitioner and becoming a member of the Zhou Dynasty's army. Advent.
He has no regrets about this choice.
Xu Bansheng smiled slightly and accepted death calmly.
However, Xu Bansheng was not dead, and all the soldiers of the Zhou Dynasty standing on the corpse mountain were not dead. The moment when the arrow rain was about to fall on the corpse mountain, it suddenly stopped, and then all the arrow rain burned up. In just an instant, unexpectedly, It all turned into fly ash and disappeared between heaven and earth.
A huge alchemy furnace made of flames appeared at some unknown time, encompassing the entire mountain of corpses, as well as Xu Bansheng and others.
On the Xia Dynasty's side, both the soldiers and the general were all frowning at this moment.
Above the corpse mountain, the air fluctuated, and a figure slowly emerged.
It was a young man, wearing a gray robe, with a wine bottle hanging on his waist.
This young man seemed to have traveled a long way. At this moment, his body was dusty and he seemed to have experienced countless fights. His robes were torn and his eyes were actually a little blood red.
That kind of blood redness is not due to anger, but the result of not sleeping for many days.
The person coming was none other than Li Xiuping.
Li Xiuping looked at Xu Bansheng below and finally breathed a sigh of relief, finally catching up.
Xu Bansheng also opened his eyes at this moment, looking at the young man appearing above, his expression seemed a little unbelievable, and he even felt like he was dreaming.
Li Xiuping smiled and said, "Senior Brother Xu, long time no see."
Xu Bansheng frowned and said, "It's really you."
Li Xiuping smiled and said: "Besides me, is there anyone else who will come to save you?"
Xu Bansheng sighed: "You shouldn't have come."
Li Xiuping fell down and said, "Everyone is here."
Xu Bansheng sighed and said nothing.
Li Xiuping glanced at Xu Bansheng and asked, "Are you okay?"
Xu Bansheng nodded and said: "I won't die yet."
Li Xiuping said: "I will take you back."
After saying that, runes appeared under everyone's feet, and then everyone took off directly into the sky and left the mountain of corpses.
The Xia Dynasty's eyelids trembled when he arrived, and he said in a deep voice: "Who are you, your Excellency?"
Li Xiuping didn't answer. He held the Sword Jue in his right hand and slashed with one sword.
The sword energy appeared instantly, tearing the entire void, and then crashed to the ground.
With this sword strike, both the general and the soldiers of the Xia Dynasty disappeared without a trace in an instant. A huge gap was opened in the dark army directly by this sword.
Countless arrows continued to rain down, but when they got close to Li Xiuping and others, they would directly turn into flying ash.
At the same time, countless powerful men with powerful auras continued to appear, blocking everyone's way south.
The magic circle holding everyone up stopped, and Li Xiuping also appeared in front of the magic circle. Looking at the powerful men who kept appearing, he smiled and said: "They came really fast."
The soldiers didn't feel anything, but Xu Bansheng frowned.
He is now a monk who has only half stepped into the Nascent Soul stage, so he can naturally feel the terror of these people. Any one of those people who stands up can easily kill him, let alone so many who appear at once.
Xu Bansheng looked at Li Xiuping and said nothing.
They had not seen each other for almost ten years since the last time they parted ways in the Penglai Immortal Boat. However, he had heard many rumors about Li Xiuping in the past ten years, which naturally included Li Xiuping's fight against a demon from the Immortal Realm.
Later, Li Xiuping was seriously injured and went south to seek treatment. There was no news about him again.
In fact, Xu Bansheng, like many people, thought that Li Xiuping was dead, but he had been unwilling to believe this guess. It was not until just now that he was really sure that this guy was still alive.
So his previous speculation has obviously been verified.
The purpose of the Xia Dynasty's arrangement was his junior brother Li.
In other words, the previous battle was a battle between the secular world, and the next battle will be a battle between the spiritual world...
