The one who came from Luoyang to aid Tongcheng was Yang Guang's general Zuo Yiwei who came to protect his children. He accompanied Yang Guangdong on three expeditions to Korea as the commander-in-chief of the march, and quelled Yang Xuangan's rebellion, which can be said to be a great military exploit.
Therefore, after Du Fuwei knew that the Tongcheng garrison had been replaced by the Sui army general Hu'er, he went to the front line of Tongcheng to supervise the battle, and Lai Hu'er was indeed a veteran general who had been on the battlefield for only a few days. In a short time, Tongcheng was built like an iron bucket, making it difficult for Du Fuwei to swallow.
At this moment, the Jianghuai army had just torn a hole in the southern city wall, and it was immediately blocked by a group of ambush soldiers who rushed out of the city tower. Kan Ling, who personally led the army to attack the top of the wall, was also trapped in the formation and found it difficult to escape.
This Kan Ling and Wang Xiongdan are both one of Du Fuwei's adopted sons. He is brave and good at fighting. He is tall and majestic. He is good at using a two-edged sword that is more than ten feet long. His martial arts skills are still higher than Wang Xiongdan's. Among the Jianghuai army, he was second only to Du Fuwei and Fu Gong'er, but Du Fuwei knew that he was more brave than tactful, so he appointed Kan Ling as Wang Xiongdan's deputy general.
Kan Ling led the "Shangzhiying" Yanyun Ladder to rush up to the city wall. Although there were countless casualties, they eventually tore a gap in the city wall. However, Kan Ling did not expect that this gap was only used to protect children and send them to Jianghuai Army. A trap.
Kan Ling, who was surrounded by the Sui army's ambush, looked around and saw that there were Sui troops all around him, and there were not many soldiers from the "Shangrei Camp" around him.
"Brothers, follow me and fight out!"
Kan Ling shouted loudly and swept the long sword in his hand. Several Sui soldiers were cut down by the sword, and those who stood in his way had their hands and feet broken. They were invincible!
Soon, on the city wall, Kan Ling fought his way out and was about to escape. However, at this moment, a Sui general jumped over the crowd and rushed towards Kan Ling. He waved his maces in the air at the same time. Kan Ling was hit with a headache.
Kan Ling hurriedly swung his sword to resist, only to hear two loud "dang dang" sounds. Immediately afterwards, Kan Ling was suddenly shocked, and his body involuntarily took two or three steps back before he was able to resolve the two tyrannical forces.
However, it was in these two or three steps that Kan Ling fell into heavy siege again.
Kan Lingfu shouted again, strode forward bravely, swung the long knife in his hand, and the wave of rolling hobs came like a tidal wave.
The Sui general was also very capable. He danced with his two maces, opening and closing them widely, but there were infinite changes in them, and he completely resolved all the waves of swords coming from Kan Ling.
"Okay, I didn't expect that there would be such a good player like you among the Sui army. You can stand upright and move these obstructions away. Kan will give you a try!"
Kan Ling laughed loudly and swung his sword to kill several Sui soldiers who were sneaking up from behind.
The Sui general also knew very well that no matter how many Sui soldiers there were, they would only die in vain. So, with a wave of his hand, he saw a group of Sui soldiers retreating one after another, leaving an open space of more than ten meters long on the city wall.
When Kan Ling saw what the Sui general did, he couldn't help but feel good about him. He strode forward, pointed the long knife in his hand, and laughed loudly and said: "Very good, Kan is willing to have a fair fight with you. Before there is any result, Kan will not leave this place even half a step! Come and tell me his name, Kan will not kill the nameless soul with his sword!"
"Qin Shubao!"
"Kan Ling!"
The two of them shouted at the same time and rushed towards each other. The long knife in Kan Ling's hand slashed diagonally at Qin Shubao from top to bottom. When the move was activated halfway, it suddenly turned into a sweep. Qin Shubao seemed to have expected it, and his body was lightning. Moving sideways, he struck out with both maces in his hands. One mace blocked the long knife, and the other mace struck at Kan Ling's forehead.
With a soft sound of 'dang', the long knife in Kan Ling's hand suddenly stopped, and then was bounced away by Qin Shubao's mace. At this moment, Kan Ling felt a strong gust of wind coming, which hurt his forehead.
Kan Ling was shocked and quickly blocked it with his sword. However, in a hurry, Kan Ling's sword was exhausted. With a "dang" sound, Qin Shubao's mace slashed him and the sword flying several meters away.
Kan Ling was also amazing. He was in the air, but he suddenly flipped into the air, kicked off his feet, and rushed towards Qin Shubao like lightning again.
Kan Ling swung the long sword in his hand repeatedly, erupting into a dazzling sword light.
Kan Ling's sword skills are also superb. Both the moves and the heat have reached the first-class level. This sword technique is accompanied by body skills and is as fast as lightning. It is dazzling and cannot be seen!
At this time, Qin Shubao withdrew his maces and placed them on his chest, as if sealed. For a moment, his maces suddenly vibrated, and a shadow of the maces shot out, facing Kan Ling's sword light.
"Ding-ding-ding-ding-ding..."
There was a rapid collision of energy, and the two of them had already exchanged more than ten moves at this moment.
Both of them had their own victory or defeat, but it was obvious that Kan Ling's cultivation was not as good as Qin Shubao's. After this battle, Kan Ling felt that all the energy in his body had been exhausted. However, Qin Shubao on the other side was calm and calm, and his aura was The war became more and more prosperous.
"Hahaha, okay, I haven't been this happy for a long time, let's fight again..."
Kan Ling laughed loudly, took a breath of energy, swung his sword and rushed towards Qin Shubao again.
However, at this moment, two figures flew down to the top of the city, one on the left and one on the right behind Kan Ling. Without any explanation, they grabbed Kan Ling's hands and flew towards the city.
This change occurred only in the flash of lightning. Even Qin Shubao didn't react. He saw the three figures walking away and could not catch up.
Back in the Jianghuai military camp, Kan Ling glared at Gao Zhong and Xu Ziling and did not appreciate them forcibly rescuing him from the city.
Kou Zhong didn't care about this and said with a smile: "Brother Kan, don't be annoyed. This is what Father Du means. If you have any dissatisfaction, just go to Old Du!"
Hearing that Kou Zhong had moved Du Fuwei out, he immediately lost his temper. No one in the Jianghuai army dared to disobey Du Fuwei's orders, even their adopted sons, Kan Ling and the others. But Kan Ling couldn't help but sigh to himself, fearing that he would end up with a reputation of 'not keeping his word' in the future.
For three consecutive days, the Jianghuai army attacked the city countless times, but never had a chance to attack the city. Only more than thousands of corpses were left under the Tongcheng wall. Gradually, Du Fuwei also started to fire, regardless of the previous lessons. Kou Zhong's words were carried into battle in person.
However, Du Fuwei's goal was too big, and he was targeted by Lai Huer every time. He concentrated his strong power and blocked Du Fuwei under the wall again and again. During this period, Gao Zhong and Xu Ziling also followed Du Fuwei. He tried several times, but all failed.
Looking at the smoke-filled Tongcheng in the distance at night, Kou Zhong had to face the reality that fighting for world supremacy was definitely not on the same level as fighting in the rivers and lakes. If he wanted to participate in this game of fighting for world hegemony, his martial arts skills alone would not be enough. insufficient.
"Master Zhong, do you want to continue?" Xu Ziling stood next to Kou Zhong and looked in the direction where Kou Zhong was looking.
As his cultivation deepened, Xu Ziling's desire to be born in the world became more and more important. He just wanted to find a quiet deep mountain valley to live in isolation, build a few thatched huts as a place to live, be company with the morning glow and dusk rain, and be friends with the wind, moon, birds and beasts.
This is the change that the "Eternal Life Secret" brought to Xu Ziling. It can change a person's personality. It is not an exaggeration to call this "Eternal Life Secret" a 'magic power'.
Kou Zhong understood the meaning of Xu Ziling's words and mused: "Master Ling, I won't tell you the truth. If I talk too much, I will fool you. Now that I have stepped into this game of world hegemony, I will I won’t quit so easily!”
Xu Ziling sighed: "Master Zhong, you have to know that many people will die, just like the thousands of corpses under the city wall, there will be more in the future, including Brother Kan, Father Du, and you and me! "
Kou Zhong stretched his waist and said with a smile: "Master Ling, you have forgotten that in the past and present, when has there ever been a fight for the world that resulted in immortality? Even if you and I don't fight, there will be others who will fight, whether it's Li Mi or Li Clan's Li Xiaozi, Li Zitong, Yu Wenhuaji, aren't they all aiming for that throne?"
Speaking of this, Kou Zhong suddenly seemed to think of something and said quickly: "Master Ling, go and inform Father Du and ask him to pay attention to the changes in the city. If there is any change in the city, he will immediately send troops to attack the city..." After that, he was done. He flew down from the arrow tower and disappeared into the night in the blink of an eye.
Xu Ziling was about to stop him, but it was too late, so he had to follow Kou Zhong's words and inform Du Fuwei to make preparations. Although I don't know what Kou Zhong can do, I think Kou Zhong will never talk nonsense. Whether he can take Tongcheng will be tonight.
Xu Ziling went to look for Du Fuwei, but when Kou Zhong got off the arrow tower, he did not go towards Tongcheng. Instead, he ran towards a hillside about three or four miles away in the southeast.
"Brother Lin! Long time no see!" Kou Zhong saw a familiar figure sitting on a big bluestone on the hillside from a distance, and shouted happily.
After saying this, Kou Zhong flew up and landed opposite Lin Sumo.
"Sit!" Lin Sumo waved his hand casually and said.
Kou Zhong sat on the ground as instructed and saw two jars of wine and some roast duck with preserved meat placed on the bluestone.
Lin Sumo said: "I got it from Lao Du's camp, so you can make do with it!"
Hearing this, Kou Zhong's eyes flashed and he asked, "How many days has Brother Lin been here?"
Lin Sumo smiled and said: "Xiao Ling's cultivation has indeed improved a lot, Xiao Zhongmo will have to be left too far behind!"
Kou Zhong immediately understood after hearing this. It was not an illusion that Xu Ziling found someone spying on him that day, but Lin Sumo. However, it was difficult to discover Lin Sumo's whereabouts with Xu Ziling's cultivation level. Being able to be alert also showed that Xu Ziling's cultivation level was extraordinary.
For Xu Ziling, Kou Zhong was not jealous at all, but was happy for his brother. However, when Lin Sumo said this, he couldn't help but smile and said: "That guy Ling seems to have become a different person during this time. He only wants to be here." In terms of cultivation, sometimes it can even give people a sense of being far away from the world. Even women don’t want to stop watching it. If things continue like this, I’m afraid that Mr. Ling will become a monk. Those beauties in the arena are afraid that they will take advantage of me, Kou Zhong.
Lin Sumo smiled and said: "The Secret of Immortality is a Taoist classic. Even if you want to be born, you are not a monk. Besides, don't you think the aura of Xiaoling is more attractive to women now?"
After hearing this, Kou Zhong thought for a while and couldn't help but sigh and said: "That's true!"
After Kou Zhong finished speaking, he grabbed the wine jar on the ground and took a sip of wine. He said, "Brother Lin summoned Xiao Zhong to come over. What do you want me to do?"
"Drink first, and then talk after you finish drinking!" Lin Sumo said with a smile.
When Kou Zhong heard this, he didn't ask any more questions. He just grabbed the meat and roast duck, picked up the wine jar and started eating and drinking.
