Chapter 1042
Chapter 1042
After suffering a humiliating defeat at the Wanzhou ferry crossing, Guo Yijing gained a clear understanding of Xu Shan's strength.
Previously, his initial plan was to use Lu Ning, Xiao Chen, and others whom Xu Shan highly valued to distract him. Finally, he would unleash the ultimate weapon, Hong Qiweng, to directly eliminate his opponent.
However, this plan was initially rejected by the self-proclaimed extraordinary Hong Qiweng.
To him, all those below the realm of terrestrial immortals were mere ants.
Xu Shan is nothing more than a nobody; we can lure him here using these people.
There's no need to resort to any underhanded tactics anymore.
But when Xu Shan personally arrived in Wanzhou and, with his overwhelming strength, put immense pressure on Hong Qiweng…
Under scrutiny, he was also forced to activate this alternative plan.
For Guo Yijing, the hatred for killing his wife was irreconcilable.
Moreover, his father-in-law was also killed by Xu Shan and his men, the Imperial Guards.
Furthermore, the two sides are irreconcilably opposed in terms of the situation...
This also gave Guo Yijing, who was leading his troops in the charge, all the energy he needed.
"Wudang Flying Army!"
"Have."
"Follow this general and crush them."
"Yes!"
'Pah-ta-ta.'
Located at Caishikou in Xishi, there is only one dirt road for people to go in and out.
Now, however, it has been completely occupied by the galloping Wudang Flying Army.
In their eyes, Zhang Liansong and his group, who had rescued Lu Ning, Xiao Chen, and others from the high pole, were already trapped like turtles in a jar.
As long as these people who have received 'special treatment' from Xu Shan are crushed, he will inevitably be killed by Hong Qiweng due to the backlash.
Therefore, in his eyes, Zhang Liansong had become a 'shortcut' to kill Xu Shan.
'Clap. '
At this moment, Zhang Liansong, who had ordered his men to protect the wounded, stood at the forefront of the market with a knife in one hand.
Looking at the approaching Wudang Flying Army, all the members of the Ghost Pavilion, including him, showed high fighting spirit on their faces.
"A strong general has no weak soldiers under his command!"
"Do you think we're pushovers?"
"I'd like to see just how many men your Wudang Flying Army dares to fill."
"Bros."
"Have."
"It's time to rack up military merits."
"There is death, there is no surrender!"
'bass.'
No sooner had they finished speaking than the vanguard of the Wudang Flying Army reached the end of the dirt road.
At that very instant, dozens of long and sharp blades suddenly emerged from the ground.
"Ok?"
There's an ambush underground.
"Everyone, be careful."
'bass.'
Guo Yijing, keenly aware of these signs, threw himself off his horse and retreated.
Not every Wudang Flying Army soldier is as free to come and go as he is.
'Pfft. '
"Whew..."
As he shouted these words, the blade that pierced out of the ground went straight through the horse's belly and, despite its high speed, sliced its body open.
"what!"
'Plop.'
The sudden death of the warhorse caused the Wudang Flying Army soldiers on its back to fall to the ground.
Some of the cavalrymen who had just landed were stabbed directly into the blades, while others were trampled to death by their comrades who were too late to rein in their horses.
In an instant, blood splattered everywhere and screams echoed along the long, dark dirt road!
"kill!"
Meanwhile, Zhang Liansong and his group, who were outnumbered, left one group to protect their wounded comrades and took the opportunity to swarm forward!
They already had an advantage in individual combat, and now they were facing the Wudang Flying Army, whose men and horses were in disarray...
In an instant, the wolves, having entered the flock of sheep, began a one-sided slaughter.
'bass.'
'Sizzle.'
"Ow."
"General Guo, save us, save us!"
'Pfft. '
The piercing screams and cries for help echoed throughout the entire Caishikou area.
'Hiss.'
Those who were on high ground, taking in the whole scene, couldn't help but gasp in astonishment.
Just moments before, they had been silently praying for Xu Shan and his men.
But in that instant, they felt a deep chill and lingering fear.
Are there still Imperial Guards hidden underground?
What does this mean?
The enemy had anticipated this, and the Wudang Flying Army would charge.
Despite having a numerical advantage, the scene at the scene showed the Imperial Guards ruthlessly reaping the spoils.
How could this not shock them?
"rush!"
"All of you, charge forward!"
"Damn it, I'd like to see how many backup plans they have in Wanzhou City."
"Today, I will use my corpse to fill this dirt road."
"Charge in and kill them."
Guo Yijing, fleeing from the charging ranks, screamed with a ferocious expression.
With his command...
The Wudang Flying Army in the rear charged forward, trampling over the corpses of their comrades and their warhorses.
'boom! '
The dirt road, where people and horses were piled on top of each other, had increased in height by several tens of centimeters.
As a result, the blades hidden underground no longer possess the ability to strike.
Therefore, when the second and third waves of Wudang Flying Army launched their attack, the members of the Mingyue Pavilion, who were hidden underground, emerged directly from the ground.
They continued to harvest it.
The battle lasted for more than ten minutes.
On the narrow dirt road, which was only a hundred meters or so long, the bodies were piled up like mountains.
Their presence severely hampered the cavalry's charge.
Only at this point did Guo Yijing, persuaded by his deputy, order the cavalry behind him to rein in their horses.
"Transfer all the guards stationed in the city to me."
"Bring all the powerful crossbows, cloud-piercing arrows, and catapults over here!"
"And, there's also the red-coated cannon."
"Old man, I refuse to believe we can't kill them."
After losing hundreds of men in vain, Guo Yijing flew into a rage and roared hysterically.
And at this moment...
The duel between Xu Shan and Hong Qiweng in mid-air had reached a fever pitch.
The old beggar, who had exhausted all his tricks, found that no matter what moves or countermeasures he used, Xu Shan could always defend himself with ease.
Counter each move and retaliate.
They clashed and fought for more than ten rounds, their true soul power almost completely drained. Yet, their opponent showed no signs of exhaustion.
On the contrary, they became more and more courageous in battle!
This made Hong Qiweng, who had dominated Shu County for decades, start to panic.
It should be noted that, currently within his domain, the other party is still distracted, blocking the flow of energy for his subordinates.
Under such circumstances, this bastard surnamed Xu can still handle it calmly...
If I delay any longer, I will only find it more and more difficult.
"Guo Yijing, what are you good for?"
"Crush them quickly!"
Upon hearing Hong Qiweng's shout, Guo Yijing replied, "We are already mobilizing manpower and equipment."
"They will die in the next round!"
‘Gulu. ’
The onlookers at the scene swallowed hard when they heard their conversation.
Despite being well-rested and waiting for the enemy to tire themselves out, they still mobilized so many people and experts.
In the end, they were forced into a corner?
Regardless of the outcome of this battle...
Xu Shan and his Imperial Guards will surely become famous throughout the Ming Dynasty.
"That's it?"
"Damn it, they're going to go to Beijing and wipe out my entire family?"
“Old Man Hong Qi…”
"Who the hell gave you that audacity!"
'bass.'
As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Shan, who had single-handedly protected his brothers, drew the Zhengyang Blade, which he had never drawn from its sheath.
