Just as the defenders were hesitating to surrender, the soldiers mixed in the first camp were already looking for opportunities to climb up the city wall.
The local soldiers on the city wall had no fighting spirit at all. When they saw the officers and soldiers coming up, they all dropped their weapons and knelt down to surrender.
The disciples of the Seven Star Sect were all at a loss after seeing this scene.
Then he looked at the officers and soldiers slowly surrounding them with swords in their hands. After a moment of hesitation, he also threw away his weapons and chose to surrender.
Now the situation is over.
To be honest, after more than two months of siege, the energy in the hearts of both the low-level rebels and the Seven Star Sect disciples in the city has long been worn away.
Especially some time ago, a large number of people fled across the city, which gave them great psychological shake.
At this moment, no one really wants to fight anymore.
Of course, there are die-hards everywhere.
For example, some people who have no family members and grew up in the Seven Star Sect are watching each one kneel down and surrender, and their subordinates are constantly separated from their fellow sects.
"My sect has trained you for many years and taught you martial arts. How dare you surrender?"
"Get up, get up, pick up your weapons, and follow me to kill those officers and soldiers!"
There were dozens of Seven Star Sect disciples on the city wall. Seeing the scenes of kneeling, their eyes suddenly turned red.
They picked up their weapons and slashed at the people kneeling on the ground, hoping to force these people to rise up and resist.
This purpose was indeed achieved.
He was caught off guard at first, but when the people around him reacted, they saw that these stubborn guys actually wanted to kill him.
Whether it was the low-level rebels or those from the Seven Star Sect, all those who were inclined to surrender quit.
I surrendered just to survive. If you stop me from surviving, you will be unable to live with me.
So the rebels who were forcibly brought in took the lead, holding weapons and slashing at the die-hards of the Seven Star King.
The other disciples of the Seven Star Sect hesitated for a moment, but after seeing their fellow disciples being unyielding, they became angry and joined the besieging team.
For a time, before the fighting between the officers and soldiers on the city wall and the rebels began, internal strife broke out within the rebels.
The officers and soldiers who had reached the city wall were stunned for a moment, then they relied on each other, formed a military formation, and watched with interest.
At the same time, for some areas where no one resisted and had surrendered, some manpower was allocated to collect the surrendered troops and clear out safe areas to prepare for more colleagues to come later.
The internal strife among the rebels ended quickly.
After all, those die-hard elements were only a handful, only thirty or forty people. Facing thousands of rebels, they were wiped out in just an instant.
These stubborn guys who were wiped out, and seeing the military morale like this, some people who still had thoughts in their hearts did not dare to show it.
He could only let out a long sigh and surrender.
With a bang and a creaking sound, the city gate, which had been closed for several months, was quickly opened.
The officers and soldiers who had been prepared outside immediately faced the city gate and filed into the city.
This capital city, which had been trapped by thieves for several months, was finally returning to the hands of the imperial court.
…
Just as the city gate opened, countless officers and soldiers poured into the city.
In the city, in a house near the city gate in the north of the city, several core senior executives of the Seven Star Gate were also gathered there.
"Chief, those officers and soldiers have entered the city."
A sturdy man in green clothes looked at the bursts of noisy cheers coming from the south of the city, with a slightly sad and angry look on his face.
"As early as a month ago, those officers and soldiers could have broken the city."
Qiao Xiuyuan also heard the movement over there, and sighed: "I just don't know why, those officers and soldiers have been waiting for so long. It's okay, it's time to wake up after such a big dream."
The head looked at the seven fellow sects next to him and said with a lonely expression: "I have brought the Seven Star Sect to where it is now in my vain attempt to become a prince. I really feel ashamed of my ancestors. But the Seven Star Sect's seven hundred years of foundation cannot be broken. in my possession.
Since the city is broken, we will leave this city. The world is so big that if you can't get along in Dongting County, then go to other places.
The Zhou Kingdom in the north is at war with the Yue Kingdom recently. Let's go there.
With our strength, we might not be able to establish a new foundation there and reestablish the sect. "
Qiao Xiuyuan is a first-rate master, and the seven fellow students present are also second-rate masters, and they are all the essence of the sect. With their strength, as long as they stay alive, they can stand firm wherever they go.
"Headmaster."
Several elders from the Seven Star Sect around them all looked miserable.
Although the boss said very well, he would open a business in another place. But it's not that easy to establish a new foundation in a strange place. I'm reluctant to go through all the obstacles and fight with others.
And even if a site is secured, it will not be as good as a site that has been maturely managed.
These people are all from Dongting County, Yue State. They feel sad when they think of being alone in a foreign country in the future.
At this time, the sound of fighting outside was getting closer and closer, and gradually came to Beicheng.
When Qiao Xiuyuan heard this voice, his expression changed, and then he looked at the grieving fellow disciples in front of him and said quickly: "Okay, the officers and soldiers are coming, now is not the time to feel sad.
I have arranged fast horses at the north gate. There are only a few thousand officers and soldiers there. You can fight out with me. "
With more than a thousand officers and soldiers, Qiao Xiuyuan's first-rate strength, and these seven second-rate elders, they were confident enough to find a way out.
As long as martial arts masters don't act foolishly and attack military formations, their ability to survive is still very high.
"yes."
Several Seven Star Sect elders responded, and then followed the leader towards the north gate in a flash.
…
"Master, after destroying the city this time, Luyang Mansion has been completely restored!"
On the general platform in the distance, Zhou Qing watched the army enter the city, with a happy face on his face, and congratulated the master next to him: "For this meritorious service, when the court learns about it, there will definitely be rewards, promotions and titles are not far away. "
"This is just the beginning."
Lu Yuan listened to his disciple's congratulations without much joy on his face. He looked at the gradually noisy city and said with an indifferent expression: "Breaking the city is nothing. If you want to take full advantage this time, you have to catch traitors like Qiao Xiuyuan." Only the leader of thieves will do.”
As he said that, he turned back, looked at his disciple, and said seriously: "In this period of time, you have taken the water purification pill given to you by the teacher, and combined with your previous accumulation, you have broken four meridians in a row, and you have reached the third level. Eleven serious things, that’s pretty good.
But even if you reach the eleventh level, you will only be in the late second-rate stage, and you are still far from breaking through to the first-rate level.
You should also understand what I said last night.
Today, the world is a chessboard for those innate masters. They use mountains and rivers as chess pieces to manipulate the world.
In front of these masters, his strength is less than first-class, and he is not even qualified to be a chess piece.
Even if you reach the first level, if you want to compete with them, you must have thousands of troops following you.
My master has fallen out with the Five Poison Sect, and there is a blood feud between the two parties. There is no way the other party will let me go.
Now the saint of the Five Poison Sect is being dragged into Baling City and cannot escape for the time being. But after she resolves the war over there and takes some time, the first person she has to deal with will be me.
My master's current cultivation has reached the pinnacle of the first-class level, and he has thousands of troops following him on weekdays. Therefore, even if he faces the Saint of the Five Poisons Sect, he is not too afraid. At least he has the strength to fight.
But you are different.
As my disciple, you are also on the list targeted by the Five Poison Sect.
I'm afraid that the Five Poison Sect will not be able to do anything to me, and will turn around and cause trouble for those close to me.
Your strength is too weak.
If you are really targeted by the Five Poison Sect, you may not even need the opponent's innate master to take action. Just one or two first-class masters will be enough to deal with you. "
Never expect the enemy to be merciful and expect the other party to have a bottom line.
Just like now, Lu Yuan can use the relatives and family members of the rebels to threaten them to surrender. Then the Five Poison Sect can naturally use his relatives and friends to coerce him.
Once this happens, no matter how you deal with it, it will inevitably be a tragedy.
"Master..."
Hearing Lu Yuan's concerned words, Zhou Qing suddenly looked ashamed: "Disciple, I have let you down."
Lu Yuan shook his head: "It's nothing, I'm not strong enough, just work hard to improve. That's why I want to capture the Seven Star Sect this time and force out their treasures. With these treasures, it won't be difficult for you to break through to the first level."
But after breaking through to the first level, don’t continue to cultivate your inner strength for the time being.
Your state of mind cultivation is not enough, and you can only control first-class strength for the time being. If you want to go further, you have to polish it well.
Spend more energy on practicing martial arts moves. In addition to having profound internal strength, martial artists like us also need various moves and techniques.
One inside and one outside is the right path. "
With Zhou Qing's current state of mind and cultivation, he can almost support first-class strength. But further up, it becomes somewhat unmanageable to match.
This world's martial arts started from the second level, and more or less involved some spiritual cultivation. Pay attention to the inner strength to develop the true intention, and cooperate with the moves to maximize the power of martial arts.
Therefore, the higher you go in cultivation, the deeper the mental requirements of various martial arts become.
If there is not enough state of mind to match the cultivation level, then he will go crazy and die suddenly. At least the personality is affected by martial arts and goes to extremes.
Although Lu Yuan could take drugs casually and continuously increase his internal strength, this was based on the premise that he had been reading scriptures and improving his mood for fifteen years.
Even the jade pieces helped him refine his inner strength and help him realize his true meaning, which was also a great help.
All of the above are the foundation for Lu Yuan's ability to control and his current surge in cultivation.
Otherwise, if ordinary people were to improve their cultivation like this, problems would have arisen a long time ago.
Zhou Qing, influenced by Lu Yuan, has actually been studying Taoist scriptures for almost ten years now.
With ten years of mental cultivation, it is barely enough to control first-class strength.
"Yes, I will obey my master's teachings." Zhou Qing also knew his shortcomings, so he nodded solemnly and did not refute.
"After this battle is over, prepare for the division..."
Lu Yuan continued to talk to his disciples, but at this moment, he saw a wisp of smoke rising in the distance. He looked slightly startled, then smiled and said: "It seems that those people escaped to the north.
Let's go and follow the teacher. If you break through to the first level, you can only point to these people. "
After saying that, Lu Yuan jumped up, and his figure turned into an afterimage, flying towards the north so fast that he could no longer see the figure in the blink of an eye.
Around him, Zhou Qing and other disciples who had been preparing for a long time also followed suit.
It's just that compared to his master who used Qinggong to rush on the road, these people's Qinggong cultivation is inferior, so they can only catch up on horseback.
…
North of the city, in the open wilderness, there was chaos.
Qiao Xiuyuan and others rushed out of the city, and faced a military formation with strict formations of officers and soldiers.
Under normal circumstances, faced with such strong bows and crossbows, a well-defended military formation, and thousands of people, even if a first-rate master charged head-on, he would not be an opponent at all.
But now Qiao Xiuyuan and the others were preparing to escape, so when faced with such a military formation, they did not try to break through. They ran directly around the city wall and passed diagonally along the edge of the military formation.
Seeing this situation, Captain Du Rong, who was in charge of the Beicheng army, was naturally in a panic.
He has obtained the dignity order of his division. He cannot let a thief go. Violators will be punished by military orders.
Seeing that these people were about to run away at this time, I felt that my head was in danger.
Under tremendous pressure, he gritted his teeth and ordered: "The army dispersed and directly pursued the enemy with skirmishing formations."
After saying that, Du Rong directly led more than a hundred cavalry in the army to chase the fleeing rebels who were about to leave the battlefield.
While chasing, he and some people in the cavalry who were good at mounted archery fired arrows at the fleeing Seven Star Gate rebels ahead.
From time to time, a few cold arrows were shot, which greatly affected the speed of those in the Seven Star Gate escaping, forcing them to pay attention to the rear to avoid the incoming arrows.
Taking this opportunity, other knights surrounded them from nearby and soon caught up with the rebels.
"kill!"
Without further ado, when the two sides met, they started fighting.
Du Rong led two of his followers, holding a spear in his hand, and stabbed an elder of the Seven Star Sect who was running towards him. The people next to him also picked up their sabers and coordinated the attack from left to right.
This is a popular method of combined attack in cavalry combat. When encountering enemies, few can dodge them using this move.
However, this is just common sense.
The person opposite was an elder from the Seven Star Sect, a man of the rivers and lakes, who was best at small-scale martial arts fighting.
I saw the fast horse flash past. The elder of the Seven Star Gate on the opposite side faced the spear that was stabbing him. He slapped the horse's back and jumped up, avoiding the spear that was thrust at him.
Then the two daggers from the waist were drawn out, and two white shadows flashed past. The two knights who were accompanying them with their sabers were about to slash at them. In an instant, their arms were thrown away, and they fell off their horses with a scream. Down.
The two knights were dealt with in a few movements. The elder put his hands together, and the two daggers were clamped on the lance. They crossed and slid forward, like scissors, cutting towards Du Rong's neck.
Everything happened in a flash of lightning.
Du Rong didn't even have time to react, and his two followers were already dead under the opponent's sword. At this moment, he saw the other party's killing move coming towards him again, and he was so frightened that the hair on his head stood on his head.
He didn't dare to accept it forcefully.
As soon as he gave it to his hand, the lance swung downwards, knocking the two daggers slightly away. He took advantage of the opportunity for the force to rebound, hurriedly turned sideways, hid on the side of the horse, and was with the Seven Star Sect. The elder narrowly missed the mark again and again.
The war horse galloped forward, Du Rong stood up from the horse's belly, and then looked back.
However, he saw that among the hundreds of knights who had followed him, after meeting each other, only about fifty were left.
Just a confrontation, and more than half of them were thrown in.
Such a scene immediately frightened him to the point of trembling with fear.
After the thrilling confrontation just now, Du Rong finally understood how big a gap there was between a third-rate warrior like himself and those second-rate masters.
He didn't dare to lead another charge, but he also didn't dare to let the opponent go. In desperation, he had no choice but to lead the remaining knights and use mounted archery to hang the opponent from a distance to delay the opponent's departure.
Fortunately, at this time, after some harassment earlier, some of the nearby infantry formations actually came after them.
The Seven Star Sect masters who had just finished fighting with the officers and cavalry were now entangled by a group of infantry and fell into siege.
But the number of infantry who surrounded them was too small, only about a hundred.
Facing the impact of eight martial arts masters, just like those knights, a large number of them fell down in just a short moment.
The remaining ones were also frightened by the tragic death and injury, and they scattered towards both sides.
In fact, if Qiao Xiuyuan and others were given time, with their strength, facing such an army of more than a thousand people, they could slowly grind down and kill everyone one by one.
But now they are busy running for their lives and eager to get away. Naturally, they have no time to play with the officers and soldiers. They all just want to leave quickly.
Therefore, after breaking through the interception, he didn't stay much and continued running out.
But at this time, after the previous two blocks, more soldiers were chasing around.
With the previous lessons, these soldiers did not dare to get too close.
However, Lu Yuan's army has a characteristic, that is, there are many people who can shoot quickly, and most of them are equipped with infantry bows.
At this moment, they all picked up their bows and arrows and pointed them at the masters of the Seven Star Sect, causing a shower of arrows to fly in random directions.
Du Rong and others were also cooperating, sending a few cold arrows from time to time, trying their best to stop the masters of the Seven Star Sect.
Threatened by so many random arrows, Qiao Xiuyuan and others did not dare to be careless and had to work hard to avoid interceptions, which slowed down their escape.
Unknowingly, by the time they rushed to the edge of the military formation and were about to leave the battlefield, a short moment had passed.
In front of you is the magnanimous official road. As long as you follow it forward, you can leave Luyang Fucheng. From now on, the world is vast and you can come and go at will.
"There is a way out ahead, everyone, work harder and rush!"
Qiao Xiuyuan looked at the broad road ahead, with a hint of joy on his face.
But that's it.
Suddenly, a strong wind flew from the side, and a huge sense of crisis surged out of his heart, causing him to subconsciously hide aside.
When he turned around, he saw a black figure, raising his palm to hit the two elders beside him.
The weapons that the two elders subconsciously stabbed faced the palm shadow, and were instantly melted and shattered by a red light. At the same time, a heat wave came, causing him to subconsciously close his eyes.
When they opened it, the two elders had fallen off their horses and their bodies fell to the ground, not knowing whether they were alive or dead.
The sudden scene startled several people at Seven Star Gate, and they all reined in their horses and hid aside.
At this time, the figure in black also turned around, and only then did several people see clearly that it was a general wearing mighty black armor.
Seeing this scene, everyone in the Seven Star Sect felt chilled in their hearts.
They knew that it would be difficult to escape today.
