Zhang Lingfeng's team did not carry large siege equipment, but only a dozen ladders. It was very difficult not to break the city, but even to climb the city wall.
Under the cover of the archers, the soldiers risked their lives to set up ladders. Zhang Lingfeng led many experts to the city first. Geng Jingzhong naturally could not watch the Taichu people attack. The Dongxia army found kerosene and baskets of stones. The block fell down towards the Taichu soldiers who climbed up.
Those who got on the ladder first were all masters. They either used their body skills to dodge or relied on the weapons in their hands to swing away the stones and kerosene.
Although these falling rocks and kerosene caused some trouble for these city climbers, the damage caused was not great. Only some unlucky people were hit by rocks and fell down, or were burned by the boiling oil and fell down. Even if a master falls from a height, he will be seriously injured even if he does not die.
Zhang Lingfeng and the two masters climbed onto the city wall first. What awaited them was the fierce attack by Geng Jingzhong and the Dongxia soldiers.
Even the master masters are still struggling in the face of the siege of many Dongxia armies. Fortunately, this Dongxia garrison is not very elite. There are not many masters. There is only one master master, Geng Jingzhong. Although Zhang Lingfeng and others are extremely difficult, they still can't. Can persevere hard.
Soon, a large number of masters from the Taichu Army began to rush onto the city wall. The pressure on the city wall suddenly eased. The soldiers fought bravely to kill the enemy and quickly gained a foothold on the city wall. As the Taichu Army climbed up the city wall, more and more people climbed up. The fighting between the two armies became more and more intense.
Under the command of Geng Jingzhong, the more numerous Dongxia Army always had the upper hand. The Taichu Army, led by Zhang Lingfeng, fought bravely and refused to retreat.
This battle lasted for a long time. The Taichu army suffered heavy casualties and gradually began to be unable to hold on. Even Liang Da and another grandmaster were killed by Geng Jingzhong.
Zhang Lingfeng has also reached his limit. The armor on his body is already stained with blood, both from his enemies and from his own. After a long battle, even a strong young master was seriously injured. Fortunately, his subordinates are fighting to the death to protect him. The commander-in-chief did not die tragically among the rebels.
The robe around him is getting smaller and smaller. In the constant fighting, his tiger's mouth has become numb. His slightly trembling hands make it difficult for him to hold the sword. What's more terrible is that his internal strength and physical strength have almost been exhausted. It's almost gone.
After taking care of the two most threatening Grandmasters, Geng Jingzhong went straight towards Zhang Lingfeng.
Zhang Lingfeng was always paying attention to the movements of the garrison commander. Naturally, he immediately discovered that Geng Jingzhong's target was him.
As expected of the most powerful general in defending the city in Eastern Xia, I, Zhang Lingfeng, was defeated today, but even if I die, I will not be afraid, kill! Zhang Lingfeng did not retreat but advanced, killing in the direction Geng Jingzhong was attacking.
I saw a white light shining on his body, and his momentum was rising steadily. This Taichu general actually broke through before the battle!
After the breakthrough, he fought with Geng Jingzhong, but Geng Jingzhong was an old master, and his strength was naturally higher than that of Zhang Lingfeng who had just broken through, and there were countless Dongxia troops around them who were eyeing him.
Although Zhang Lingfeng was brave, he paid attention to being outnumbered. He ignored the injuries caused by the enemies on the side and attacked Geng Jingzhong with all his strength.
In the end, Zhang Lingfeng was outnumbered and was beheaded by Geng Jingzhong. The Taichu army that climbed onto the city wall was also annihilated by the defenders. The archers under the city either fled or were captured. This suicidal siege ended in a disastrous defeat.
However, due to the brave fighting of the Taichu soldiers, the Eastern Xia defenders suffered more casualties. More than half of the 100,000 defenders were killed or injured. Geng Jingzhong was also seriously injured under the impact of Zhang Lingfeng.
The war gradually subsided. A group of mysterious people appeared in places like Kaiyuan City, Beidou City, Yinmatan, Xiaguan City, Yinmaguan, Xuanjian City, where the war had occurred. They were wearing gray robes, and the hats of the robes obscured their appearance.
These mysterious people will immediately fall into coma wherever they go, even if there are people guarding them. Each of them holds a glimmering glass ball in his hand. As long as he is close to a corpse, a white spirit will be extracted from the corpse and put into the glass ball. middle.
The appearance of these people did not cause any disturbance. There were even Xinhan masters in Beidou City cooperating with them. It was obvious that this was done under the instruction of the Xinhan King.
One day after the Battle of Beidou City, a slender figure appeared in Ziwei City south of Zidou Mountain. At this time, Ziwei City had been occupied by the New Korean Army.
Although the people of Ziwei love the Xinghe Sect very much, major events in the world are beyond their control. These ordinary people can only live as usual.
The new Korean army did not embarrass the people of Ziwei City, nor did they strictly prohibit people from entering and exiting the city. Han Linfu only arranged city guards and city lords to Ziwei City to manage matters in the city. This new Korean king has regarded the two big cities of Beidou Ziwei as his own. territory.
The woman had a good figure but was dressed very plainly. She was no different from ordinary women in the city. However, she looked a bit ugly, with freckles on her face and unsightly facial features.
She walked leisurely for a while on the main street of Ziwei City, then turned into an alley and stopped at an ordinary grocery store.
She looked around and made sure no one was following her, then walked into the grocery store.
There are a wide variety of products in the grocery store, all of which are necessary for people to live their lives.
The shopkeeper of the grocery store is in his forties, wearing a blue coarse cloth gown, a black hat, a beard, sharp eyes, and he looks smart and capable.
Seeing the woman come in, the shopkeeper immediately said: Madam, what do you need?
The woman's face immediately darkened after entering the grocery store. She said: Liu Guan, it's me, Qian Qiuyue!
The person who came was Qian Qiuyue, the master of Tianji Pavilion. After she woke up from Kaiyuan City, the battle in Kaiyuan City had ended. After inquiring about the news, she learned a lot of bad news, including the death of her husband Jiang Wanli.
At that time, Jiang Wanli left a note when he placed Qian Qiuyue in a private house. There were only a few words on the note. Qian Qiuyue would laugh every time she saw her husband's twisted words, but This time she couldn't laugh, because the content on the paper was: I love you, take good care of Chenxing.
Although Jiang Wanli didn't say anything, his words were full of the intention to die, but Qian Qiuyue still held out hope until it was confirmed that Jiang Wanli was really dead.
Although her heart was pounding, she had no time to grieve. The survival of the Xinghe Sect and the safety of her son were what she should consider most now. She left Kaiyuan City without hesitation, and did not even look for Jiang Wanli's body again. Three horses died on the road before we arrived at Ziwei City so quickly.
The shopkeeper of the grocery store, known as Liu Guan, immediately changed his face when he heard this. He walked to the door in a panic and observed for a moment. Then he whispered to the woman: Pavilion Master, this is not the place to talk. Please come inside.
Qian Qiuyue was speechless, Liu Guan led the way, and she followed silently.
The two came to a side room in the backyard. Liu Guan moved a porcelain jar, and a secret door appeared out of thin air on the wall. Inside was a secret room.
Entering the secret room and closing the secret door, Liu Guan immediately saluted and said: Pavilion Master, now all the properties belonging to our Xinghe Sect in Ziwei City have been confiscated by the New Han Army. The Tianji Pavilion disciples and store managers who were responsible for managing the store were also arrested. Walk.
Qian Qiuyue looked gloomy and nodded slightly: "I've seen it along the way."
Liu Guan lamented and said: Although the people in the city can now enter and leave the city freely, the entrance to Zidou Mountain is heavily guarded. The soldiers of New Korea all rumored that the Xinghe Sect has been destroyed by New Korea.
How can it be? Xinghe Sect master Ruyun Qian Qiuyue was shocked, but he seemed to have thought of something and swallowed back the words he was about to say.
She whispered in disbelief: Could it be that three saints really took action?
Although her voice was small, Liu Guan was not weak. Liu Guan heard everything he said. He couldn't believe his ears and asked in confusion: "Three or three saints?" He was so shocked that he stuttered a bit when he spoke.
Qian Qiuyue nodded helplessly and said: The information I got in Kaiyuan City is that there are three saints who helped Xinhan deal with Taichu Dynasty and Xinghe Sect, and the great elder has died.
Great Elder, my Xinghe Sect saint died like this? Liu Guan didn't look shrewd at this time. He opened his mouth wide and was extremely shocked.
Qian Qiuyue's eyes dimmed and she said: "Many people in Kaiyuan City heard the mourning of heaven and earth. Although they don't want to believe it, I'm afraid it is true. As far as I know, many disciples died in Kaiyuan City this time."
Speaking of this, her emotions were a little out of control, her body was shaking slightly, and her eye circles were red.
Pavilion Master, what are you doing? Liu Guan suddenly thought of something. He is a person who is good at calculations. Qian Qiuyue said that many people died in Kaiyuan City, which already explained a lot of problems.
Now looking at her performance and thinking that she came back alone and saw no trace of Jiang Wanli, Liu Guan had already guessed what happened, but he didn't break the casserole. Talking about this kind of thing would only make people more sad. .
Neither of them spoke. Liu Guan just looked at Qian Qiuyue. Qian Qiuyue quickly adjusted her emotions. She cleared her throat and said: Where are Sister Zhou Ling and the Ziwei City Guards now?
Zhou Ling is the lord of Ziwei City. She was born in Tianji Pavilion. She is also a powerful master and one of the few female city lords in the Central Plains.
Liu Guan smiled bitterly and said: "They are all dead. Just the night before yesterday, someone saw several figures appearing in the city. They easily killed all the city guards and everyone in the city lord's mansion. Their killing speed was unbelievable. Now Thinking about it, the ones who took action were probably the three saints mentioned by the pavilion master.
Qian Qiuyue's face turned gloomy again, and her newly stable mood became sad again. This time Zhou Ling was her senior sister, and the two had a very good relationship. They usually treated each other as sisters. Who would have thought that this womanly female city lord would be like a man? So dead.
Now that their bodies have been buried outside the city by the New Korean Army, the New Koreans are quite okay with these sacrificed soldiers. Liu Guan was also in a low mood. The extremely powerful behemoth fell apart overnight. No one in the sect understood it better than them.
Is there really no news at all from Zidoushan? Qian Qiuyue asked, refusing to give up.
Liu Guan shook his head, and just when Qian Qiuyue was in a low mood, he continued: Our Tianji Pavilion is not an intelligence organization at all. Even though our business is spread all over Yingzhou, we are far behind those guys in terms of intelligence!
Qian Qiuyue's eyes lit up. She was used to asking people from her own Star Pavilion for anything, and rarely asked others. Now that she was awakened by Liu Guan, she immediately thought of that place, the Dark Star Branch of the Seven Kills Camp.
Soon after, Qian Qiuyue left the grocery store dressed as an ordinary woman, and Liu Guan had already told Qian Qiuyue all the information he knew about the Dark Star Branch in Ziwei City.
Qian Qiuyue searched several places in the city according to what Liu Guan said, but all of them were destroyed by the New South Korean Army without any accident. There was only one stronghold left that she knew, which was a private school.
With such a big event happening in the city, the children naturally did not come to class. There were only a few gentlemen in the private school writing and writing to pass the time.
Qian Qiuyue had given up hope in the last stronghold, but when she saw these private school teachers, her hope was ignited again, and she easily entered the private school.
There is no difference between this private school and an ordinary private school. After Qian Qiuyue entered, she looked at the gentlemen and frowned slightly. These guys seemed to be out of place in the Seven Kills Camp.
Although it was a bit unbelievable, she still said the secret code: first there is the galaxy, then there is the sky.
The gentlemen from the private school who were busy with their own affairs stopped when they heard this, as if their acupoints were tapped, and then gathered towards Qian Qiuyue at an extremely fast speed. The speed of their movements surprised Qian Qiuyue.
An older man who looked older and was wearing a white gown said, "I'm Huang Danqiu, the manager of the Dark Star Branch of Ziwei City of the Seven Killing Camp. Who are you?" What's the point of coming here?
Qian Qiuyue touched her face slightly, and a thin human skin mask fell off. When she faced everyone with her true face, Huang Danqiu smiled and said: "It turns out to be Pavilion Master Qian. I'm disrespectful. Master Qian is not following the army." Have you been to Kaiyuan City? Why did you return to Ziwei City alone, where is Pavilion Master Jiang?
The Seven Kills Battalion is in charge of large and small intelligence in Yingzhou, so it is not unusual to recognize her and know their movements.
Qian Qiuyue didn't hide anything and told them everything she knew.
These spies looked very ugly after learning about the defeat of Kaiyuan City.
After Qian Qiuyue finished speaking, she immediately asked: Everyone, do you have any information about Zidoushan and my son Jiang Chenxing?
Huang Danqiu said solemnly: Pavilion Master, after the incident, my Dark Star subordinates immediately sneaked into Zidou Mountain to investigate, but there were almost no Xinghe Sect disciples on Zidou Mountain, and only some Xinhan and Qinghe people were entrenched there.
Qian Qiuyue looked nervous when she heard this, and she almost shouted: Even you don't know what happened to the Xinghe Sect?
Huang Danqiu said hurriedly: Pavilion Master, don't be anxious. I'll tell you now. After confirming that there were no members of the Xinghe Sect on Zidou Mountain, we immediately tried every means to contact the Dark Star Branch of Beidou City. After paying for the names of more than ten spies, Finally, our branch's secret agents finally brought the information from Beidou City.
Hearing the loss of the Dark Star branch, Qian Qiuyue was a little embarrassed and said: I lost my temper.
It doesn't matter, don't take this trivial matter to your heart now. Huang Danqiu waved his hand.
He paused and continued: According to Beidou Dark Star, the day before yesterday, first a hundred thousand Qinghe troops attacked the city, and then tens of thousands of New Han troops appeared out of thin air. The Master Killer came out in full force, leading many disciples to fight with New Han The army had a great battle.
In this battle, the enemy was suspected of having several saints take action. In the end, the Xinghe Sect was defeated, and a large number of masters in the sect died on the battlefield.
Qian Qiuyue said excitedly: Where are my Tianji Pavilion disciples? Where is Zhang Yuntao? Where is my son Jiang Chenxing? Do you have any information on them?
There were no eggs left after the nest was overturned. The Galaxy Sect was defeated in the end, and the fate of those members of the Galaxy Sect would not be good either. She was now extremely worried about the Tianji Pavilion disciples and her son Jiang Chenxing.
Pavilion Master, please be patient and listen to me. During the battle between the Xinghe Sect and the New Koreans, a mysterious force riding giant birds appeared and they rescued many Xinghe Sect disciples! Huang Danqiu's complexion became slightly better. Although the Xinghe Sect suffered drastic changes, as long as the disciples were still alive, the sect had hope.
Mysterious power? Who are they? Was my son Chenxing also rescued by them? Qian Qiuyue asked hurriedly as if she had grasped the last straw.
Huang Danqiu smiled bitterly and shook his head: I really don't know who these people are. This force must not be the Yingzhou force. Based on the intelligence of our Seven Kills Battalion, no force can escape the eyes of the Seven Kills Battalion. What are they specifically? I really don’t know that my disciple was rescued.
However, Pavilion Master, it is said that many disciples have been rescued, so Master Ling Fu will be fine! Huang Danqiu persuaded him kindly.
In the end, Qian Qiuyue did not ask about Jiang Chenxing's whereabouts. She had no choice but to leave the Dark Star branch. Her son's safety was in her heart, and she vowed to find Jiang Chenxing.
