The ninth day of September, the Double Ninth Festival!
Yelv Yaoguang's Khitan army marched to Jiangxian County and without hesitation attacked the Jiangxian county town at night.
The Khitan was not good at attacking the city, let alone the Khitan army of Yelu Yaoguang who did not have any siege equipment. If Yelu Yaoguang took an ordinary way to attack the city, even if Jiangxian was just an ordinary county town with a city wall only one foot high, he would not be afraid at all. of.
Yelu Yaoguang naturally knew this, so he made a dangerous move and approached Jiangxian County at night. He immediately ordered the shaman to take action himself in an attempt to break the city from within the county.
Of course, this approach generally makes no sense.
For ordinary masters, except for Li Cunxiao, a master of horizontal training with natural divine power, even a great heavenly master would actually have a hard time shaking the city gate.
For example, take the city gate of Jiangxian County. The door latch is about five feet long and weighs at least five hundred kilograms.
When a relatively powerful Datian master explodes with all his strength, his strength must be more than 500 kilograms, but if you want him to remove the 500 kilograms door latch alone, it can only be said to be a bit embarrassing.
The so-called full-power explosion is the result of the combination of the whole body's energy and strength, and the most coordinated cooperation of muscles and bones.
It is difficult for people to perfectly control their own extreme power.
Moreover, even if you can get the door bolt out of the way, it is not easy to open the city gate from the inside by yourself.
All in all, the city is difficult to break. Even in this world with the inner strength of martial arts, the city cannot be broken by one person.
However, if it is Yelv Zhiwu, there is some chance.
Li Xingyun had fought against Yelv Zhiwu, the Khitan shaman, and knew very well the strength of Yelv Zhiwu. If he was unprepared, he would indeed have the opportunity to sneak into the city and open the city gate from inside the city.
But the premise is that the Khitan army to which Yelv Yaoguang belongs cannot appear within the detection range of the Jiangxian County city guards. This means that even if Yelv Zhiwu opens the city gate, for a relatively long period of time, It will also be a state of isolation and helplessness.
Khitan shamanism is a belief system that integrates politics, military and religion. It can affect the morale of the army to a great extent. Normally, as a Khitan commander, it is impossible for a shaman to put himself in danger.
But just as Yelu Yaoguang thought he had seen through Li Xingyun, Li Xingyun naturally also had a certain understanding of Yelu Yaoguang.
Yelu Yaoguang is an extremely crazy gambler. There are not many such gamblers in the world, but there are also many. The most rare thing about Yelu Yaoguang is that he is also extremely thoughtful.
Such people are the best at strategizing and making dangerous moves.
When food and grass were in short supply, and he went out to plunder and was hunted by Fengdu ghost riders, he succeeded in defeating Jiangxian County by surprise. He could not only replenish food and grass to a large extent, but also capture a group of people for his use. It was an extremely dangerous but dangerous decision. An extremely ingenious method.
Li Xingyun put himself in his shoes and thought that if he were Yelu Yaoguang, he could use Jiangxian to open up the situation even if it was not to conquer Jiangxian.
Therefore, Li Xingyun personally led a thousand Qingqi into Jiangxian County to garrison before Yelu Yaoguang's Khitan army arrived in Jiangxian County.
People have joys and sorrows, and the moon waxes and wanes. Tonight's moon is neither incomplete nor full, more like something has taken a bite and a piece is missing.
The moonlight was actually good at first, but it didn't get better for a long time before dark clouds began to obscure the moon, and it turned into a dark and windy night, as if the prerequisites were specially prepared for the Khitan's night attack.
In the dark night, on the city wall of Jiangxian County, a row of soldiers patrolled with torches.
But outside the city, a figure quickly approached the city wall at a speed that was difficult for ordinary people to see with the naked eye, without anyone noticing.
Although there are many soldiers patrolling the city wall, these so-called patrols can actually only take care of things on the city wall. Under the city wall, if the moonlight is good, you can take a look, but it is dark and windy this night. , that is really a black eye, and there is not much difference between seeing it or not.
In the darkness, the figure approached the city wall but did not slow down at all. As soon as he stepped on the city wall, he quickly climbed up along the city wall.
The city wall was only one foot high, and in the blink of an eye, this figure appeared on the city wall.
A group of soldiers passing by on patrol saw a person standing on the battlements. The person looked like a woman, wearing a veil on her face and a flaxen Khitan robe, revealing her slender waist and long long legs. She was holding a spoon-shaped staff. An exquisite magic ball hangs from the mouth of the spoon.
So late at night, a strange person suddenly appeared on the city wall. He was either a ghost or an enemy. The soldiers in this group had no intention of admiring the graceful figure. They shouted warnings at the top of their lungs.
But at this moment, the exquisite magic ball hanging on the staff of the woman on the city wall suddenly emitted a strange green light. The soldiers who discovered the woman were staring at the woman warily, and everyone immediately turned to the green light. All in sight.
The next moment, there were ten soldiers in this line. The gods all froze, their eyes were distracted, their expressions were dull, their open mouths slowly closed, they forgot to shout, and they obediently formed the patrol queue in front of the woman who had just been discovered.
The woman quickly jumped off the battlements and hid among the soldiers. The soldiers regarded the woman as if she were nothing and carried her forward. After walking a certain distance and approaching the city gate, the woman looked for an opportunity to jump off the wall and entered the city. .
As the woman left, the eyes and expressions of the soldiers gradually returned to normal. They shook their heads secretly one by one, feeling as if they had just fallen asleep. After thinking about it carefully, they only vaguely remembered that they were on patrol. , maybe he was too tired and took a nap.
Dozing off while patrolling the city was punishable, so these soldiers did not say anything.
What they didn't know was that the enemy had used them to enter the city and approach the city gate.
The woman hid in the darkness and got closer to the city gate. The defense at the city gate was obviously much stricter. The road out of the city was blocked by horse-proof stakes. If the city was on the verge of being breached, these horse-proof stakes were also good tools to support the city gate.
There were two bonfires on both sides of Juma Zhuang, which almost illuminated the entire city gate except near the city gate. Ten soldiers lined up on both sides to guard the city gate.
In the darkness, a faint light flickered in the woman's eyes, and the exquisite magic ball hanging on the staff in her hand lit up again. The green light was particularly conspicuous in the darkness, but no one paid attention to it.
The eyes of the ten soldiers at the gate of the city were attracted by the two bonfires. Ordinary bonfires are naturally nothing interesting to see, but for some reason, the originally bright flames of these two bonfires suddenly turned green, and the green flames continued to glow. The light flickered, especially penetrating.
A soldier shuddered subconsciously, looked at the strange bonfire and asked the person next to him: "Heizi, why did the fire turn green?"
······
After a long time, no one answered.
As for the soldier, he didn't ask any more questions. Everyone's eyes were attracted by the strange green bonfire. There was obsession in his eyes, his expression gradually became dull, and his figure seemed to be frozen.
At this time, the woman hiding in the darkness slowly walked out with a staff in hand. The exquisite magic ball hanging on the staff emitted a faint green light, echoing the bonfire of the same color.
The woman passed through the middle of these soldiers, jumped lightly, crossed the Juma post, and slowly walked towards the darkness in front of the city gate...
pS: The book released today in 2021 is exactly two years old. I originally wanted to write a side story, but I don’t have much time at the moment, so I’ll push it to the weekend. I will update it normally this weekend, and then make up a side story.
