the enlightener says

The bed crossbow could no longer hit the chariot, so he ordered sharply: "Pour the fire oil!"

The large amount of kerosene prepared by Gongshu Yinxue earlier came in handy at this time. After the kerosene poured down, violent flames rose from the chariot immediately. Then burn up.

And in such a fire, the surroundings of the wheel hub of the car collapsed rapidly. After the rolling logs and stones fell, the top of the car completely collapsed and could no longer function.

Compared with Gongshucha's side, the performance on the other two city gates was obviously much more chaotic. Even under the constant encouragement of the generals, they still showed signs of collapse.

The city wall of Jinzhou is very wide, which naturally makes the city defense strong, but too wide has the same disadvantage, that is, if the number of people is insufficient, many places will become loopholes and flaws in the city defense. Once this heavy siege equipment approaches the top of the city, it is almost impossible to remove it.

Even if it were to be burned, it would be difficult to destroy it in a short period of time, so it could only be left to stand on top of the city.

However, at this moment, the organs and equipment that the public loser had prepared for a long time played a huge role.

Among the equipment transported by Qin Ke and the others to the city was a continuous ballista, which seemed bulky and difficult to steer. It required the cooperation of ten well-trained people to operate it. However, once this thing was activated, its power was astonishing. The cart can shoot nearly forty arrows at the same time once loaded, and the strength of each arrow is far beyond human power.

Arrows like a rain of arrows immediately covered the entire Tang army formation, and the follow-up reinforcements were unable to lift their heads due to the dense arrow rain, and naturally the speed of climbing the city slowed down.

And even if someone managed to climb the ladder, what greeted them was not only the arrows and rolling logs and rocks from the archers at the top of the city, but also countless lit charcoal fires were thrown down by borrowed cars and soared into the sky.

The charcoal fire was like a rain of fire in the sky.Even the toughest men would suffer unbearable pain under such splashing of charcoal fire. Many people's cowhide armor even ignited flames, and they fell down from the ladder while their footing was unstable.

And seeing the astonishing power of these weapons, the defenders on the city were also shocked, and the hands holding the weapons seemed to have a little more strength.

Of course, Gongshucha knew the power of these equipment, took a deep breath, and led the people towards the east of the city.

"kill!"

Chapter 441 Bloody Battle at the Head of the City

Gongshucha took the lead, raising his hand and slashing to death a Tang Jun rushing forward, but at this moment, a sharp wind suddenly sounded in his ears, he turned around suddenly, blocked with a knife, and the two broadswords slammed in the air When they collided together, the clanging sound was deafening.

The two took a step back each, exchanged a murderous look with each other, and then moved forward at the same time, slashing with their knives again.

Both Gongshucha and this Tang Jun were very tyrannical in their cultivation, and the blade they swung was like a frost blade, which made their cheeks ache. retreat.

Gongshucha slashed seventeen times in a row, and each slash was more powerful than the other. However, the Tang Jun on the opposite side resisted with one slash, and with blood running through his arms, he yelled loudly, followed the trend, and slashed at Gongshucha's neck. !

This knife did not cut Gongshucha's neck, because when the long knife came to Gongshucha's neck, Gongshucha made a posture, and put the tiger in his hand against his shoulders and neck, as if a lazy farmer was carrying a knife. It is generally ugly with a pick.

It's just such an ugly posture, but it is enough to resist the long knife that was cut. When the two knives collided, sparks flew everywhere, and Gong Shucha also raised his hands with a loud shout, leaving aside the sharpness of the long knife, and raised it to the top of the Tang Jun's head. Chop down and go!

He had already exhausted half of his body's strength. Even if he was a small master cultivator, his body was still made of flesh and blood. In front of such a knife, he might have to be split in half.

It's just that before Gongshucha made the cut, he felt a sharp pain in his lower abdomen. After being hit by Tang Jun's kick, he immediately vented half of his strength, and this astonishing knife became anticlimactic.

However, before that Tang Jun was happy for a moment, he felt a sharp pain in his right leg, and his blood-stained face suddenly turned pale. He never thought that at this moment, a sword appeared out of thin air, almost stabbing Hit him in the chest!

And although he tried his best to avoid the sword, the sword still stabbed into his thigh.

Gongshucha's calloused hand was like a heavy hammer, and he slammed the young master of the Tang army on the cheek. blood flower.

Then Gongshucha took another step forward, stepped on Tang Jun's long knife, pulled out the Zhanhu stuck in his leg, and slammed it up!

Blood sprayed into the sky, and looking at Qin Ke who was panting violently in front of him, he didn't say a word of thanks, but rushed into the Shura field next to him like a fierce tiger.

Qin Ke held the Bodhisattva sword and stuck tightly to Gongshucha's side, protecting his flanks. There are many good fighters in this wave of Tang army, but there are not many masters like just now, so When he drew his sword, the opponents often didn't dare to take it hard, and retreated one after another.

But he would not back down either. He took a deep breath and took a step forward. The Bodhisattva sword gradually approached that figure!

Qijin Sword, Zefeng!

With a flash of sword light, the Bodhisattva sword in Qin Ke's hand pierced into the chest of that Tang Jun, and then he drew back suddenly, his figure floated back, and a gorgeous blood flower sprayed out, giving birth to a flower in the sun. A few bewitching brilliance.

Now, Qin Ke finally understands why Mulan said when she taught him the Qijin Sword: "Only when you really step on the battlefield can you understand the true meaning of the Qijin Sword."

It turns out that the true meaning of Qijin Sword does not lie in whether to advance or retreat, let alone how decisive it is. In such a cruel battlefield, every sword he stabs is actually driven by his heart.

However, to move is to kill!

On the battlefield, if you don't kill, you will be killed.

So I didn't think much about it at all, and I didn't need to think about it. To live is the instinct of a person, and it is also the original origin of killing.

A conquest is like a raging fire, which is frightening.

Seeing that the Tang army retreated again, Gong Shucha finally breathed a sigh of relief. At least today's Tang army will not attack the city for the third time. After all, they came with the power of a big victory, but they didn't want to hit Jinzhou head-on. Iron nails, two sieges failed, morale should be a little low at the moment.

The so-called one bang, then decline, and three exhaustion, the Tang army has reached the time of three exhaustion.

It's just that seeing the heavy losses of our side, I can't help worrying in my heart-although Wang Xuanwei said that Tang Jun's ferocity is only temporary, as long as he survives the front, the rear will not be too terrible, but Xiang Chu has always used troops casually, who knows he Won't you storm Jinzhou directly in a fit of anger and forcibly break the city?

After all, with an army of [-], it is only a matter of determination and time to destroy Jinzhou City.

"The defenders of the east gate lost nearly a thousand people this time. If we continue to fight like this, I'm afraid we won't be able to last long..." At night, Gong Shucha didn't feel sleepy. His voice in the tent was loud, and everyone watched The Jinzhou sand table piled up in the center also frowned and remained silent.

Wang Xuanwei was concerned about another matter: "How many days does it take to get to Jicheng when sending a letter from here?"

"I'm afraid it will take some time." Gongshu Yinxue said softly, "Although the pigeons are extremely fast, they can't last long after all, so the pigeons in Jinzhou have always been trained to send letters back and forth with Yangcheng. Send a letter to Jicheng at an expedited speed..."

"At least seven days." Wang Xuanwei was very clear about the speed of Ma Li's transmission of messages. There should have been [-] post stations in the whole country in the territory of the Mo family, but unfortunately after the fall of the previous dynasty, they gradually fell into disrepair and did not return to their original prosperity.

Ten years ago, he advised the giants to reorganize the large and small post stations across the country, send additional manpower, and clear the roads, so now most of them have been restored, and this is in exchange for the rapid communication during the war.

But Jinzhou is still far away from Jicheng after all. Even if there are pigeons that can pass through the Tang army, it is impossible for news to reach Jicheng overnight.

Counting the time, the news of Zhao Kuan's defeat should have reached the court at this time. I'm afraid it's already a turmoil. Sun Boling is supporting the overall situation in Jicheng alone. I only hope that he can hold on amidst the excitement of the crowd scene……

The various factions in the court are good at putting on airs and pretending to be noble on weekdays, but it is simply wishful thinking to ask them to talk about tactics, military formations and other things in detail.He had seen an old Confucian who surprised him the most, and wrote a letter saying: The Mohists should "burn their troops and property, and use the benevolent deeds of the ancient sage kings to educate all peoples in exchange for the uniform of the world."

Fortunately, the giant was not a fool, so he ordered someone to push the old Confucian out of the door to serve him with a court stick, beating him to the brink of death, and finally stopped these words of harming the country that were raging in the court.

The root cause of Mohism's weakening day by day is the chaos in the court.

"The army on the surface of the sea is just a suspicious army. Up to now, no one has heard about the movements of Cao Meng and his tiger and leopard cavalry." Wang Xuan said softly: "It seems that the Tang army still needs time. Time, constantly grabbing our attention."

Tiger and leopard cavalry, the existence of this army is like a hanging steel knife. You know it will fall, but you don't know when and in what posture it will fall, which is really disturbing.

Wang Xuanwei stretched out his hand to caress the sand table twice, and said, "Ten days."

Gongshu Yinxue and Gongshu Cha looked at him at the same time.

Wang Xuan raised his head slightly, and said softly: "I need ten days to wait for one person, to wait for that person's answer."

Before anyone could ask, he asked again, "How about storing food in the city?"

Gongshu Yinxue replied: "It can last for more than two months."

"Where's the water source?"

"When my uncle was still there, he had already arranged for people to dig hundreds of wells in the city, and the water veins from the mountains behind Gongshujia went straight from the ground to Jinzhou City, extending in all directions. I think there will be no shortage of water in the future." Gongshu Yinxue again answer.

"Okay." Wang Xuanwei said firmly, "Tomorrow the Tang army will not attack again, they will turn to besiege the city, so General Gongshu need not worry for now."

At this time, the curtain of the big tent was suddenly pulled open, and it was Qin Ke who walked in, holding the earthen jar carefully. He walked steadily with every step, and said as he walked, "Yinxue, Xiaodie said that you still have the medicine for the night." No drink, let me deliver..."

The moment Qin Ke raised his head, the air in the tent seemed to freeze.

Chapter 442 Enemy should be solved rather than knotted

For a moment, he almost thought that he had gone to the wrong place. After all, it was his first time to come to the military camp, and he had to ask for directions before finding the main tent. At a glance, Gongshu Yinxue and Gongshucha were indeed in the camp. He certainly didn't go to the wrong place.

It's just that the person standing in front of him, dressed in black and with slightly gray temples, isn't that exactly the Wang Xuanwei he had seen in King Ye's tomb back then?

"It's not such a coincidence..." Qin Ke opened his mouth, stared for a long time, and finally confirmed that the face in front of him was not an illusion born of his exhaustion for many days, but a real existence. And this person is looking at him with a strange look now, he can't help but have the idea of ​​turning around and running away immediately.

He is very aware of Wang Xuanwei's strength, his cultivation is comparable to Gao Changgong, and the overwhelming beetle Xuanwei is more terrifying than Lu Ming's transparent little sword.

And when he was in Jingwu, he also discussed with Gao Changgong about Wang Xuanwei's strength. After all, for Qi and blood practitioners, the practice of spiritual practitioners is completely opposite, and it is difficult to measure them in the same way as Qi and blood practitioners.

He has forgotten most of the content discussed, but he still remembers one thing clearly.At that time, Gao Changgong was drinking wine, smiling casually, and even took the time to tap a piece of music on the table with one hand, and then said: "Within a hundred steps, if Wang Xuanwei wants to kill you, just watch One look at you, you are dead."

And now... Wang Xuanwei was staring at him, the coldness in his eyes made him dare not take a single step.

"Thank you." Gongshu Yinxue still couldn't notice the strangeness between the two of them, but seeing Qin Ke bring the medicine, he couldn't help but feel a little joy in his heart, walked over with strides, reached out to take the medicine in his hand bowl, looked up and down, "Is there no sugar?"

All along, she was not good at drinking bitter medicine. Most of the time, she was supported by sugar cubes. If there were no sugar cubes, she would not be able to drink it.

"Uh... yes..." Qin Ke took out a small bag from his bosom stiffly, and handed it to Gongshu Yinxue, but his eyes never left Wang Xuanwei, still looking at him.

"Oh... that's right." At this time, Gongshu Yinxue suddenly remembered something, and said with a smile: "Let me introduce you, this is the general, you are from the Mo family, you should have heard of it a long time ago, right?"

Then she turned her head again, and said slightly to Wang Xuan, "General, this is..."

"You don't need to be too polite." Wang Xuan's calm voice carried an unquestionable taste, like a knife cutting off Gongshu Yinxue's words, "We know each other, your name is Qin Ke... isn't it?"

His words were plain, but when Qin Ke heard these words, he felt a chill running up his spine, all the way to the top of his head, his legs were numb, and he was almost unable to stand still.

Gongshu Yinxue came in without knowing it, and looked at Wang Xuanwei strangely: "Has the general seen him? Was... when?"

According to Qin Ke's own statement, he had been living in the mountains before, and he went down the mountain for more than a year. He first went to Jingwu, then Tang, and then came to Jinzhou. Wang Xuanwei was in Jicheng, so he shouldn't have the chance to meet is.

"A few months ago, I left Jicheng, and I met us once by chance." Wang Xuanwei's eyes were unclear, but his voice was slightly aggravated, "Brother Qin, you still remember, right?"

"Yes, yes..." How could Qin Ke dare to say no, now he is a real mouse meeting a cat, as long as Wang Xuanwei doesn't eat him, he can make him squeak on the spot.

"However, I never thought that we would meet again here, so I would like to catch up with him."

Wang Xuanwei did not explain that when the two met, they were actually enemies, so Gongshu Yinxue thought that the relationship between the two was good, but when Wang Xuanwei said the fatal words, she nodded without knowing it. He smiled and said, "Okay, General, please do what you want."

Just like that, Qin Ke walked out of the big tent pitifully side by side with Wang Xuanwei. It seemed that the two had reunited after a long absence, and they were in perfect harmony. The unobtrusive dark golden beetles are climbing leisurely, just like Xiao Hei when he was a child.

Xuanweizi.

Seeing these beetles goodbye, Qin Ke still couldn't help feeling his scalp tingle.

He still can't figure out how to kill these beetles as hard as gold and iron. Perhaps, the blade of the Bodhisattva Sword can do it?Qin Ke thought in his heart, but it was impossible to really try it.

After all, it is not Xuanweizi who is really scary, but Wang Xuanwei who raised Xuanweizi.

It's up to the owner to beat the dog.

"It's been a long time. I didn't expect your cultivation to improve so quickly. It may take a few months or a year. You should be able to achieve the realm of a little master." Wang Xuanwei's eyesight is stronger than others after all, but simply After a few quick glances, he could see the surging energy and blood in Qin Ke's body beyond the past.

"Little Grandmaster, hum, even the little Grandmaster can't beat you..." Qin Ke was in a bad mood and mumbled in a low voice.

Wang Xuanwei didn't care, and continued: "But I'm curious, since you went to Jingwu, why did you come to Jinzhou?"

Qin Ke was speechless, only a fool would tell him about artifacts, but if he didn't find a suitable excuse, he might be exposed in an instant, and he would be angered at that time, and he might end up badly. would be great.

But what gave him a headache was that he was not as good at lying as Gao Yishui. Even though Gao Yishui could give dozens of reasons in such a situation, it was difficult for him to say even one.

At this time, a general from Gongshu's family walked up to him, and greeted him with a smile, "Hello, young master."

Qin Ke nodded and hummed. If he was not used to it at first, he is very familiar with this title now.

But it was the first time for Wang Xuanwei to hear someone address Qin Ke like that, and he was a little taken aback for a while: "Young master? Are you... married to a girl from the public loser?"

He thought of the intimacy between Qin Ke and Gongshu Yinxue, and also thought of Gongshu Yinxue's new marriage, he couldn't believe it for a while: "The master of Gongshu? Miss Yinxue?"

Qin Ke nodded. In fact, Wang Xuanwei only needed to inquire a little bit to find out, but to Wang Xuanwei, this kind of childishness was not worth his attention, so he seemed so surprised.

Wang Xuan frowned slightly, in vain of his exquisite thoughts, he could never imagine how Qin Ke became Gongshu Yinxue's husband, whether this is the love between a man and a woman who love each other, or... Another deal instigated by Zhuge Wanling?

In terms of background, behind Qin Ke are Zhuge Wanling and Jing Wu, and after the public loser was demoted to Jinzhou, his contacts with the Mohist Central Committee became less and less. Could it be that the public loser has turned against him and wants to contact Jing Wu?

But after thinking about it carefully, I feel that it is unlikely. Although the public loser Centipede is dead but not dead, and still has a huge family business in Jinzhou, it will not change the whole situation after all. Even if the entire public loser goes to Jingwu, it will not It may have too much impact on the Mohist dynasty.

However... It cannot be ruled out that this is Zhuge Wanling's "idle chess". At least in his opinion, Zhuge Wanling is unparalleled in wisdom, insidious and cunning, and any behavior that underestimates him is very stupid.

Wang Xuanwei asked suddenly: "Zhuge Wanling...how is he now?"

Qin Ke tilted his head and thought for a while: "It should be pretty good. When I was in Jingwu, I heard that he had a serious illness, but he got better later."

Wang Xuan nodded slightly, but the next question hit Qin Ke's heart directly: "What is the relationship between you and Zhuge Wanling...?"

Chapter 443 I'm Not Here

"Relationship?" Qin Ke's heart tightened, but he still replied honestly: "My master Zhuge Wolong... is his younger brother."

"So that's how it is." Wang Xuanwei showed a somewhat inscrutable smile. In fact, it is not that he has not investigated after that incident. He also knows a thing or two about the name Zhuge Wolong, "So it seems that the tomb of King Ye Brother Zhuge already arranged the matter?"

Qin Ke pursed his lips and did not answer, Wang Xuan glanced at him slightly, and when he acquiesced, he walked forward and said: "Thanks to people in the world, they gave me the title of 'Sage of Seeking'. When I was young, I still I used to be complacent, but looking at it now, it is a bit ridiculous. Now Zhuge Wanling is sitting in the court, arbitrarily doing things, and I have lost the position of general, and I can only block the car with my own strength. From this point of view, I am really Not as good as him."

Qin Ke walked behind, not daring to breathe. Regarding the strategy, it was never his turn to comment. At least in his opinion, neither Wang Xuanwei nor Zhuge Wanling was a cheap lamp, but he himself was It was an innocent little white rabbit accidentally caught between them...

"It seems that the public loser also has some value to him, so it is worth using his younger brother's lover as a marriage?"

The tiger finally showed its teeth, so Qin Ke, the little white rabbit, was so frightened that his face turned pale, and hurriedly waved his hands in denial: "No, no, no, no..."

He repeated several "no" words, and finally squeezed the words out of his throat: "I came to Jinzhou, and it has nothing to do with Zhuge Wanling."

"It doesn't matter?" Wang Xuan sneered slightly, "Could it be that you still don't have a place in Jingwu? Are you making a special trip to Jinzhou to be the son-in-law of a loser? Or are you and Miss Yinxue sincerely in love? "
