Volume 10, Chapter 779
~Date:~October 24~
Four dark spiritual cultivators besieged Gao Shuping, just like four black wolves besieging an angry lion. The four did not confront him head-on, but only used the strangeness of the shadow drift to start free fights and fast attacks. TXT download .
They were consuming Gao Shuping's spiritual energy bit by bit, and they were also consuming his physical strength bit by bit. As the battle intensified, Gao Shuping had more and more knife wounds on his body.
If he continues like this, even if he doesn't die from exhaustion, he will still bleed to death! The more Gao Shuping fought, the more anxious and upset he became. Suddenly, he used all his strength to release Spirit Burning Explosion.
Just now, Nanye was defeated by his spiritual fire and explosion, and was almost injured by his fire poison. However, Gao Shuping, who was anxious and angry, apparently forgot that his spiritual martial arts skills were not harmful to dark spiritual cultivators. Too big a threat.
Before he could unleash his skills, all the hidden arrow personnel in front of him had disappeared. They all flashed behind him. Four spiritual knives, stabbing or cutting, opened four more holes in Gao Shuping's back. When he turned around, , the assassin behind him disappeared again, appearing either on his left or on his right, and continued to attack him.
Under the fast attacks of the hidden arrow personnel, Gao Shuping was unable to show off all his abilities. Instead, he was hit one after another. The fight was not long, and he had dozens of wounds on his body, including stab wounds and slash wounds. , wounds, but none of them fatal. Gao Shuping's body was dripping with blood, and his white spiritual armor had turned blood red, almost like a bloody man.
He had never been beaten so useless in his life. He was constantly injured, but he couldn't even touch the opponent's side. He waved his spirit gun violently a few times, driving back all the hidden arrows around him. Then he staggered a few steps forward and roared hoarsely: "If you have the guts, come out and fight me in an upright manner." What kind of skill is it to hurt people secretly?"
Chirp!
The secret assassins made a sharp and piercing whistle, which was also a signal that they were going to kill him.
In fact, the four of them could have brought Gao Shuping to death a long time ago, but they didn't want him to die too happily. This was also caused by the almost abnormal psychology of the dark spiritual cultivators. They put their hatred, jealousy and even hatred towards the light spiritual cultivators in their hearts into All the fear was vented on Gao Shuping, teasing him with the cruelest means.
As the whistle blew, the atmosphere on the field suddenly changed, and a strong atmosphere of chilling began to permeate the entire field.
First, a black shadow passed by Gao Shuping, and there was a hissing sound. The latter's heel was opened by the spirit knife. The excruciating pain made Gao Shuping break into a cold sweat. He swayed and involuntarily knelt down on one knee. , it turned out that the secret assassin had cut off his hamstring with a knife.
Before Gao Shu could calm down, another black shadow passed behind him, and there was another sound of sand. At the same time, the black shadow shouted coldly: "Kneel down!"
Gao Shuping was obedient and fell to his knees as expected, and his other hamstring was also severed.
"ah--"
Both legs were disabled. Gao Shuping was in so much pain that he was unconscious. Even the spiritual armor on his body was scattered. At this time, his helmet fell to the ground, and he was kneeling there with disheveled hair. His hands were still holding the spear that had returned to its original shape, and his mouth was He murmured incoherently: "If you have the guts, don't hurt others in secret..."
"Tsk!" A person appeared out of thin air behind Gao Shuping. He was covered in black spiritual armor, and his face was also covered by ghost-like black armor. Only two red eyes that were bloodshot with excitement were exposed. He held a spiritual knife and stepped from Gao Shuping's back. Step by step, he walked towards him. When he was in front of him, he raised the spirit knife in his hand and pressed the tip of the knife against the back of Gao Shuping's neck.
He sneered and said coldly: "Your Majesty's death has come!" As he spoke, the spirit knife made a move to stab ↓ At this moment, Gao Shuping, who was already in a daze, suddenly shouted, summoned all his strength, and struck out The spear in his hand swept back with all his strength. As the spear was swung out, it spiritualized again and turned back into a spiritual spear.
"ah--"
Behind him came the screams of the secret arrow personnel. If it had been someone else, this shot could have cut him in two. Unfortunately, Gao Shuping's opponent was a dark spiritual cultivator who was best at saving lives. His last shot only hit the air. The hidden arrow man suddenly disappeared the moment before he was hit by the spirit gun, and the gun blade only hit a cloud of black mist.
Choo Choo Choo!
The unique signal whistle of the hidden arrow sounded again. This time, two figures passed through Gao Shuping's left and right, and two long cold lights flashed at the same time. Phew! As the cold light flashed, Gao Shuping's arms were broken and fell to the ground together with the spear.
"Hmph!" The hidden arrow personnel who disappeared just now appeared again behind Gao Shuping. Even though the opponent's legs and arms are now completely disabled and there is no threat anymore, as a dark spiritual cultivator, he is still used to appearing behind people. .
Looking at Gao Shuping who was almost unconscious on his knees, the secret arrow personnel raised the spirit knife high with one hand, pointed it at his neck, and slashed viciously.
Phew!
With a sharp knife, Gao Shuping's head was cut off directly from his neck. A hidden arrow man stepped forward, lifted up the severed head, and said to the other three companions in a serious tone without any fluctuation: "Go back and tell the king and the emperor." The general returns."
"Yes!" The bodies of the other three people finally stopped appearing and disappearing. They scattered their spiritual armor and sheathed their swords. Without even looking at the battlefield between Feng and Ning's armies on the other side, they all turned around and walked towards the Chinese army behind them. .
On the battlefield not far away, three thousand Ning troops were defeated by two thousand Feng troops led by Nan Ye. Most of the casualties were left behind, and the remaining Ning troops rolled and crawled towards Liangzhou.
Nan Ye led his men to chase and kill Gao Shuping. When he saw that he had entered the range of Liangzhou, he ordered to stop the chase. At that time, a Feng army soldier came over with a headless corpse and said to Nan Ye breathlessly, "General, the enemy general has been killed. Please take a look!"
Alas, what else to look at! Nan Ye's old face turned red. He asked his soldiers for a long halberd, picked up Gao Shuping's body, and threw it to the ground. Then he shouted to the surrounding Feng army, "Retreat!"
The Feng army retreated, leaving behind the corpses and wounded soldiers of the Ning army, as well as Gao Shuping's headless and armless corpse.
The chief general of the North City, Gao Shuping, went out of the city to fight with the Feng general, but he fell into a trap and was surrounded and killed by the Feng army. The news was also spread to the court of the palace at the first time.
After hearing this, the whole court was shocked and in uproar. Gao Shuping was already one of the best generals in Liangzhou. He was killed so easily by Feng Jun. How could Yan Chu and the ministers not be surprised?
Yan Chu was furious after being surprised. He slammed the table and said angrily: "I have already ordered all the generals to strictly forbid to go out of the city to meet the enemy. Why didn't Gao Shuping listen? Why did he have to go out of the city to fight?"
The ministers bowed their heads. In front of the furious Yan Chu, people were so scared that they didn't even dare to breathe.
Among the people, Zhang Zhihong was the only one who was not surprised at Gao Shuping's death. At this time, he was nodding secretly. Feng Jun was indeed full of talents. Such a powerful Gao Shuping was killed by Feng Jun so quickly. Feng Jun's breaking of the city was just around the corner.
He had already made up his mind. After the Feng army broke into the city, killed all the Yan family members, and pushed himself onto the throne of King Ning, he would immediately respond to the anti-rebellion manifesto of the two countries of Chuan and Zhen, and send troops to conquer Feng. Then he would not only obtain the throne, but also take back the lost territory, gaining both fame and fortune.
At this time, Zhang Zhihong not only did not feel that a disaster was imminent, but was still complacent and dreaming about his Spring and Autumn Period.
He walked out of the train a few steps, bowed to Yan Chu, and said with a look of concern for the king and the country, "Your Majesty, calm down, please put the overall situation first. There is no commander in the North City now. If the Feng army attacks, there will be no one to command. I am afraid that the defense of the North City will be in chaos. Please quickly re-select the commander of the North City to stabilize the situation and defense of the North City!"
Yan Chu secretly said that it made sense and said, "What Zhang Xiang said is right." As he spoke, he looked around at the civil and military officials below. After reading them, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. The powerful generals in the capital have been dispatched, and now there is no one available. What should I do?
After a long pause, he asked, "Who is in charge of North City now?"
Left Prime Minister Gao Shan stepped out and replied, "My king, it's General Zhang Tong!"
"Zhang Tong?" Yan Chu was very impressed with Zhang Tong. He completed his training at Lingwu Academy at the age of 18 in just two years. He could be called a Lingwu genius. In addition, he had a good family background. He was the nephew of Right Prime Minister Zhang Zhihong. His loyalty to Ningguo and himself should be beyond doubt.
After thinking about it, Yan Chu asked again, "If I remember correctly, Zhang Tong should be the deputy general of North City, right?"
Gao Shan replied, "Yes, my king."
"Well, promote Zhang Tong to the chief general of North City." After a pause, he said, "Prime Minister Gao, find another resourceful general to serve as the deputy general of North City to assist Zhang Tong!"
"Yes! My king!"
With one sentence, Yan Chu directly promoted Zhang Tong to the chief general of North City's defense. His understanding of Zhang Tong was correct, but he was wrong about the most important thing. Zhang Tong was not loyal to him.
The progress of the matter was under the control of the shrewd Zhang Zhihong. His nephew became the commander of the North City and controlled the entire North City's defense. It was basically easy for the Yingfeng Army to enter the city.
After the court was dismissed, he immediately ordered his servants to go to the North City to inform Zhang Tong of the good news, and he returned to his house to find the Sky Eye spy to pass on the news.
The large Liangzhou City had been tightly blocked by the Ning Army, but because of the traitor Zhang Zhihong, the slightest movement in the city could not be hidden from the eyes and ears of the Feng Army.
The news of the Feng Army outside the city was even more informed than most of the Ning people in the city.
After receiving the news from Zhang Zhihong, Tang Yin was overjoyed. Next, he only needed to wait patiently for the news.
Late at night that day, Zhang Zhihong secretly found Zhang Tong in his house to discuss how to successfully introduce the Feng Army into Liangzhou.
Even though Zhang Tong is now the commander-in-chief of North City, it is impossible for him to openly order the city gates to be opened, the drawbridge to be lowered, and the Feng Army to enter the city. He needs to use some tricks to lure the Feng Army in without arousing suspicion from his soldiers.
