"Kill!" With the sword on his head, the sunset illuminated the sword's light, like a brilliant sky.
A burly body seemed to fall from the sky, a majestic sword flashed, and blood splashed into the sky. What was frightening was that the sword actually cut a man in two from his head to his body.
The liver, intestines and internal organs were dripping with blood, broken and shunted all over the ground. The two bodies were cut open by the knife, but were separated by a few meters with great force. They fell to the ground with a bang. Half of the body was separated too quickly, and the person's consciousness was not yet separated. The two bodies were still twitching, which made people's hearts tremble with fear.
Although the people of Longtan Temple who were fighting hard and the officers and soldiers led by Wang Xun kept fighting with each other, the officers and soldiers finally gained the upper hand. But when this officer and soldier who had killed several Longtan Temple bandits in a row was suddenly chopped open with a knife, everyone was still shocked.
Even if Wang Xun and Xiao Qilang faced each other, the duel and fight just now would not be as brutal as this moment. Everyone gathered their personnel, and Xiao Qilang stood on the side of the Longtan Temple brothers, who had less than a hundred people. All of them were seriously injured and dripping with blood. Wang Xun's soldiers rushing in front were almost all in a miserable state. The sudden impact made everyone seem to suddenly wake up. They all looked over and saw dozens of big men descending from the sky. Almost all of them were in strange clothes. They stood next to the God of War who was wielding a sword just now. The people fighting next to him couldn't help but watch. They all stopped.
The leader was none other than Yang Huai. Under the setting sun, he stood there holding a knife and looked like a god.
On the left is Wang Lu, who looks ordinary and inconspicuous. He is holding a long weapon for Yang Huai. Yang Huai is so powerful that he actually made a nine-foot painted halberd. Yang Huai usually used the horizontal sword, but if he was fighting on the battlefield, he would use the painted halberd in Wang Lu's hand. It weighed one hundred and eight kilograms and ordinary people could not carry it freely.
On the right is the Shuzhong Tongjin Shiqi. He is holding a pair of swords and looking at the officers and soldiers here coldly, his eyes seeming to be full of evil malice. Everyone who met his eyes felt inexplicably chilly.
Facing the afterglow of the setting sun, Yang Huai Linglie's blade emitted colorful dazzling light, and a drop of blood slowly dripped from the blade.
Bah!
The sound of blood dripping was like thunder in this already silent battlefield, and it was like a drop of rain splashing on the calm water.
Everyone woke up and looked at the bloody battlefield. Thinking about the fierce fight just now, many people don't know how they survived the time just now. The short stone steps of less than 200 meters, several back and forth attacks, and several desperate attempts to hold on, everyone paid a heavy price.
This is actually a slaughterhouse, and a one-sided slaughter has just been carried out.
The bandits in Longtan Temple had high fighting spirit, but due to problems with their weapons and equipment, they suffered heavy losses in the confrontation with the officers and soldiers. Most of those who collapsed on the underground stone steps were bandits with shabby clothes and thin bodies. They were not bandits. In fact, most of them were just ordinary people. After being trained by Li Yuan for a period of time, they held various weapons and fought against the officers and soldiers in front of the battle array.
Many officers and soldiers also fell. It seemed that the plight of these officers and soldiers was even worse than that of the Longtan Temple, because the main ones who took action at the Longtan Temple were brothers Xiao Qilang and Li Yuan. Everyone was merciless when facing the officers and soldiers and naturally did so. He will be killed when he takes action, so looking at the situation on the battlefield, none of the fallen officers and soldiers are still alive.
Looking at these stumps and broken arms, Li Yuan couldn't stop crying. These are all people who are usually brothers to me, people who trust me in every possible way, but now I am unable to protect them and watch them disappear before my eyes.
Li Yuan knew that Xiao Qilang wanted to protect these people, but it was difficult for him to defeat many people with his arms. No matter how powerful a person was, he could not cover everything in the face of such a melee battlefield. Everyone will understand that there is too much hope but not enough power. However, when caught in a melee, everyone expects their own safety to be protected, and they cannot avoid such a scene. Even if they know only one or two people, it is impossible to take everyone's safety into account. safety.
These brothers from Longtan Temple knew clearly that they were no match for the officers and soldiers, but no one took a step back because the gate of Longtan Temple was right behind them. Behind that door are the old, young, women and children of Longtan Temple, all their relatives and friends. For the sake of their relatives and friends, they would rather give up their lives than take a step back.
Li Yuan's body trembled involuntarily, and he almost collapsed after the hard struggle, but before his legs gave out, someone was holding him up. Turning his head and looking over, he saw that it was his second brother Luo Zong.
Luo Zong was obviously not feeling well either, but he obviously came over late. The two brothers looked at each other as if they were surviving a disaster, their eyes moistening as they looked at each other. Looking at Luo Zong's eyes, Li Yuan became more questioning.
Although Luo Zong didn't know the subsequent battle situation, he believed Mr. Sun and Sun Qingyi, looking at the tragic situation here and his elder brother's inquiry. Luo Zong said hoarsely: "Brother, don't worry, everything is under Mr. Sun's control. What's more, it seems that the officers and soldiers from Fuling just turned against each other!" Naturally, Luo Zong didn't understand. Luo Zong was obviously in a miserable condition, with his right arm A roughly five-inch long mouth was cut with a knife, and the flesh was dripping with blood and the bones were visible. But he didn't care at all and held Li Yuan's hand tightly.
"Brother Li, don't worry. Longtan Temple is safe now!" Xiao Qilang looked at Yang Huai with a smile. It was a real relief. Although there were only a few dozen people, the officers and soldiers behind him did not come over. In addition, Xiao Qilang had already maintained contact with the organization. Based on the action, I could vaguely guess that everything was going according to plan.
When the two people saw Yang Huai's arrival and Xiao Qilang was so calm, they knew that these people must be the helpers Xiao Qilang mentioned, and they couldn't help but feel a little excited. Is it finally over?
Yang Huai's aggressive attack made everyone stop one after another. The two brothers Li Yuan couldn't help but look for their third brother Shi Jia, and they couldn't help but feel relieved when they saw him holding a half machete and supporting an injured brother. They all looked at Xiao Qilang and saw him staring closely at Wang Xun.
Although he and Wang Xun were both injured, his whole body seemed to be even more miserable than Wang Xun's. Not to mention the blood dripping from his body, his robe was torn with no less than ten wounds. Of course, these were only the visible wounds. In order to constantly intersperse with the rescue, he was surrounded by brothers who were chopped down by officers and soldiers one by one. He was obviously suppressed to death by Wang Xun.
Xiao Qilang's skill is not bad, but for the safety of others, he was obviously beaten hard by Wang Xun.
Wang Xun is a rare talent in Hell Gate these years. He has been hiding in the Yuzhou Army for many years. At first, he hoped to return to Hell Gate and get a good promotion within the gate. But after experiencing officialdom and a trip to the military camp, Wang Xun faintly changed his mind.
Because if he relies on his own efforts and the cultivation he learned at Hell Gate, Wang Xun believes that he can make a way out of this troubled world. Even if you can't return to serve within the sect, then you will be an outer disciple of the Hell Sect. Presumably the powerful people in the sect will agree with your decision after seeing your efforts and achievements.
The Hell Sect recruits a group of disciples every year and sends disciples to join the world every three years. Those in charge are the outer disciples of the Hell Sect. These outer sect disciples are present at all levels and are responsible for the survival, negotiation, and contact with the outside world within the sect. Although Zhou Yi's Styx Altar is said to be one of the main altars in the inner gate of Hell Gate, it is also a branch altar that has more contact with the outside world.
Naturally, Wang Xun also knew that most of the great elders of Hell Sect had not been out for decades, and even the sect master had not been seen for a long time. Therefore, many people in the sect are ready to take action. Some people openly come to the secular world to interfere, and there are even people with various desires who use the resources in their hands to do all kinds of things they need and want outside.
Just like Zhou Yi, otherwise he would not dare to openly place his son in Yuzhou. This week with Wang Yi has been a period of transformation and understanding of this society. Wang Xun didn't complain about Zhou Yi's arrangements for him, but now he was grateful for Zhou Yi's original decision, because Wang Xun seemed to have seen the opportunity.
Since the founding of the People's Republic of China in Shuzhong, there have been almost no major wars, and even if they have, they are local. Meng Chang's development of people's livelihood made Sichuan truly peaceful for many years, and also made many people forget about the war. Although there has been peace for twenty or thirty years, Wang Xun, who sees the current situation, believes that this peace is only superficial.
Conquering Longtan Temple will be the first step for him to take off. He can become the commander of Yuzhou's horse and infantry troops and completely command the army and horses of a state. Regarding the ways of Yuzhou officialdom, Wang Xun has already figured out the secrets. If you want to fly high, it will be of no use if your eyes stay in Yuzhou. Wang Xun entrusted people to contact reliable people in Jinguan City, the capital, and that would be his starting point.
Of course, if Longtan Temple can be conquered, another reason is that it can temporarily appease the angry Zhou Yi, and then he can communicate with the Hell Gate. Wang Xun didn't believe that such a small place would hinder his way forward. Of course, there is another reason for swallowing the soft persimmon of Longtan Temple, which is that he can suddenly emerge in the military and attract the attention of the big guys in Jinguan City, so that the person who can help him can gain leverage at a critical moment. heavier. Wang Xun has been planning and looking forward to this matter for a long time.
Wang Xun was still somewhat confident in the fierce fighting and killing here. He strictly ordered the officers and soldiers to obey orders and never allow mercy. He wanted to kill him as a warning, not to mention he believed in Zhou Yi's ability. As one of the only current altar leaders of Hell Sect and one of the contemporary elders of Hell Sect, Wang Xun knew that there would not be many people in the world who would be Zhou Yi's opponents.
Even now when he saw the sudden appearance of Yang Huai, he was just a little stunned, and immediately waved his hand, and the remaining soldiers behind him faintly surrounded everyone, slowly trying to surround them.
Yang Huai waved his hand, and more than forty brothers behind him aimed their crossbows at Wang Xun. Seeing these dozens of powerful crossbows pointed at Wang Xun, even though there were some archers on the officers and soldiers side, no one dared to act rashly.
The number of archers brought out by Yuzhou was limited, not to mention that in order to block the sight of Longtan Temple, there were more archers on the back wall, among the officers and soldiers led by He Da. At this time, dozens of people from Yang Huai controlled the scene.
"Brothers, officers and soldiers, please take a look at the corpses on the stone steps. They used to be your comrades and brothers, and the others are the common people of Longtan Temple!" Yang Huai stared at Wang Xun coldly, and he could tell at a glance. identity of. Regardless of Wang Xun's expression, he continued: "Everyone has brothers and parents, everyone has family and friends, but at this moment, they abandoned everyone and left! Do you know why this is happening!"
Yang Huai was so angry that he stood on a stone beside the stone steps and stood out: "Who is willing to fight and who is willing to fight! No one is willing. Look at your general and ask him who you are fighting for and why. Come to kill these innocent people, why do you let your comrades and compatriots leave your lives here?"
Wang Xun looked at Yang Huai's constant inducement and encouragement, and vaguely guessed what Yang Huai wanted to do, but he still knew the team around him relatively well, not to mention that the tooth generals around him were all soldiers he had trained and been close to. He was about to speak when he saw Xiao Qilang walking towards Yang Huai.
"Brothers, we have to survive, and so do our families. The officials who live in Yuzhou have good food and clothing every day, but they can't see the suffering of the people here and the helplessness of the people elsewhere. They only know You know what you need and what you want to enjoy. Everyone knows how many people were forced to death by corrupt officials, and how many people starved to death in Shu!" Jin Shiqi immediately stood up and recalled the hardships and sweetness, strengthening his already acquiescent attitude. The mentality of the officers and soldiers was exciting. His authentic Sichuan dialect undoubtedly greatly stimulated the visual nerves of the officers and soldiers in an instant.
"A group of unruly people who are deceiving the public with their monstrous words!" Wang Xun waved the flagpole that had lost the piece of cloth and shouted in this direction. But when he turned around and looked back, what surprised him was that the officers and soldiers behind him actually started talking. He turned around to find the person, but when everyone saw him turning around, they all closed their mouths.
"Look, look, your general is very angry when a certain family talks about the important point. No matter how arrogant and self-deceptive he is, in front of so many people, he can't give a reason to everyone!" Jin Shiqi immediately added: "In order to get promoted and make a fortune, he deceived everyone and didn't care about everyone's life and death. He asked you to die and be the executioner! The most important thing is, who are the people he asked you to kill? ? These are common people who are almost unarmed!"
"Nonsense!" Although Wang Xun was shrewd, he was pointed at by dozens of powerful crossbows. Although he wanted to distinguish, he was always half a beat too late. Moreover, his expression was excited, which naturally made people more suspicious.
"Is there any nonsense in a certain family? You all should ask your general now and see if he dares to answer you. Is he leading you to perform meritorious service for his own promotion? He said that these bandits from Longtan Temple are not worth it. By the way, you have also seen that they can't beat you because they are just a bunch of common people. And he asked you to massacre a bunch of common people, and then went back to claim the credit!" Jin Shiqi quickly interjected, seriously Spit flew everywhere.
He didn't care that Wang Xun's eyes were burning. He stood right in front of Yang Huai, gesticulating and talking to Wang Xun: "No one with conscience and conscience would do such a cruel thing! Longtan Brother Li, who led these people in the temple, was in the Shuzhong military camp like everyone else that day. He couldn't stand the oppression from his superiors and pitied the people's suffering, so he called on and led a group of people to live and escape in the Longtan Temple area. You are exploited by corrupt officials, but your generals are slaughtered as bandits, you can't bear it, are you willing?"
"Brother!, Dad, Second Uncle,,,!" Suddenly there was a cry from the side, but it was someone from the Longtan Temple. Seeing his relatives falling beside him, and hearing Jin Shiqi's bewitchment, he could no longer endure it. I couldn't help crying. They were ordinary people originally, and they became tenacious with the later encouragement of Li Yuan and Xiao Qilang.
"I don't want to!" Hearing the wailing here, a clear voice suddenly came out from the officers and soldiers. Everyone was startled. Looking over, it turned out to be a Shu army commander in armor, who was not yet in his prime.
Wang Xun wanted to kill the soldier and stared at him fiercely. Who knew what made him even more frightened was that several more people said they were unwilling. Although the voice sounded sparse, it seemed to cause quite a stir among the officers and soldiers. After all, these officers and soldiers had met each other and they all had consciences.
"Look, tell the truth, your general wants to kill people and silence them!" Jin Shiqi looked at Wang Xun's horrified eyes and seemed to guess what Wang Xun was thinking, so he yelled out again.
Several tooth generals around Wang Xun who originally wanted to kill chickens and monkeys stopped immediately and looked at Wang Xun with an embarrassed look on their faces.
"Thank you for your hard work, Qilang!" Yang Huai looked at Wang Xun who was about to devour others, smiled and said to Xiao Qilang: "I have made you suffer, a certain family and soldiers came late!"
"Just in time! General Yang, timely rain! Although the Longtan Temple suffered heavy losses, the brothers were willing to pay, and Qilang finally lived up to the great trust and led the brothers to retain this base!" Xiao Qilang was extremely relaxed at the moment, looking at Luo Zong looked over together, and his eyes were actually a little wet.
Li Yuan held Luo Zong and walked over slowly. Xiao Qilang's strike was like lightning. He clicked near the wound on Luo Zong's arm and immediately stopped the bleeding from the wound. The two people came over and explained to Yang Huai in a low voice. When they heard that Yang Huai was the person Xiao Qilang said, they couldn't help but get excited and look forward to it.
Xiao Qilang glanced at Luo Zong and quickly said to Yang Huai: "The officers and soldiers from the rear who originally attacked Longtan Temple, under the leadership of the comrades from Fuling, have taken control of the officers and soldiers in Fuling. Mr. Sun contacted them and there was Mr. Sun There must be no problem with the call, the general is here to take charge of the overall situation!"
"It doesn't matter! The delay of the officers and soldiers here will definitely make the comrades in Yuzhou progress smoothly. Our task is to contain these Yuzhou officers and soldiers. Presumably the Yuzhou City at this time is also under our control!" Yang Huai With a face full of joy, he said: "Qilang should be the first contributor to the establishment of the Yuzhou base area and the development of the Yuzhou area!"
"Someone is coming!" Seeing a group of officers and soldiers coming quickly from the mountains beside the Qingxi River, the officers and soldiers here immediately shouted. The leaders were Liu Biao, whom Wang Xun had just sent, and the Fuling County Lieutenant. Lin Qingdong.
The last glimmer of hope ignited in Wang Xun's heart, but before Liu Biao could lead his people over, he saw a man passing by the gate of Longtan Temple, his feet lightly landing on the stone beside the steps, and this man was It's Mr. Sun, Sun Qingyi. Even though his arms were bare, there were even blood stains on his arms.
What was shocking was that he was actually holding two heads in his hands, his eyes wide open with anger. They were Zhou Yi and Meng Lu, and their blood was still wet! Looking at the ferocious head, everyone was stunned!
Wang Xun's last glimmer of hope was shattered. He felt a chill in his chest and almost spurted out a burst of hot blood in his chest.
I was speechless, only to see the sunset dye the sky red, and the colorful sky flashed with colorful beauty!
