Chapter 779

Four dark spiritual practitioners besieged Gao Shuping, just like four black wild wolves besieging an extremely angry lion. The four did not fight him head-on, but used the strangeness of shadow drift to fight and attack.

They were consuming Gao Shuping's spiritual energy bit by bit, and also consuming his physical strength bit by bit. As the battle intensified, Gao Shuping had more and more knife wounds on his body.

If this continued, even if he didn't die of exhaustion, he would bleed to death! Gao Shuping became more and more anxious and confused as he fought. Suddenly, he used all his strength to release the Spirit Burning Explosion.

Just now, Nan Ye was defeated by his Spirit Burning Explosion and was almost injured by his fire poison, but Gao Shuping, who was anxious and angry, obviously forgot one thing, that his spiritual martial arts skills did not pose much threat to dark spiritual practitioners.

Before he could release his skills, the arrowmen in front of him had all disappeared and flashed behind him. Four spiritual knives, either stabbed or chopped, opened four more cuts on Gao Shuping's back. When he turned around, the arrowmen behind him disappeared again, and appeared on his left or right, continuing to attack him.

Under the arrowmen's round after round of quick attacks, Gao Shuping could not use all his skills, but was hit repeatedly. After fighting for a short time, he had dozens of wounds on his body, including stab wounds, slash wounds, and stab wounds, but none of them were fatal. Gao Shuping's body was covered in blood, and the white spiritual armor had turned blood red, almost like a bloody man.

He had never been beaten so badly in his life. He was constantly injured, but he couldn't even touch the opponent. He swung his spirit spear a few times, driving all the surrounding secret arrows back. Then he staggered forward a few steps and roared hoarsely: "Come out and fight me fair and square if you have the guts. What's the point of secretly hurting people?"

Chi!

The secret arrows whistled sharply and harshly, which was also a signal that they were going to kill him.

In fact, the four of them could have killed Gao Shuping a long time ago, but they didn't want him to die too easily. This was also the almost perverted psychology of the dark spiritualists. They vented all their hatred, jealousy and even fear of the light spiritualists on Gao Shuping, and teased him with the most cruel means.

As the whistle sounded, the atmosphere on the field suddenly changed, and a strong murderous atmosphere began to permeate the field.

First, a black shadow passed by Gao Shuping, and with a hissing sound, the latter's heel was cut open by the magic knife. The piercing pain made Gao Shuping sweat coldly. He shook his body and knelt on one knee involuntarily. It turned out that the hidden arrow man had cut his hamstring with one knife.

Before Gao Shuping could catch his breath, another black shadow passed behind him, and there was another sanding sound. At the same time, the black shadow shouted coldly: "Kneel down!"

Gao Shuping was obedient and knelt on the ground. His other hamstring was also cut.

"Ah——"

With both legs disabled, Gao Shuping was already in a state of confusion due to the pain, and even the spiritual armor on his body fell off. At this time, his helmet fell to the ground, and he knelt there with disheveled hair. His hands were still tightly holding the long spear that had returned to its original shape, and he muttered incoherently: "If you have the guts, don't hurt people in secret..."

"Shh!" A person suddenly appeared behind Gao Shuping, wearing black spiritual armor all over his body, and his face was also covered with black armor in the shape of a ghost face, revealing only two red eyes that were reddened due to excitement. He held a spiritual knife in his hand and walked towards Gao Shuping step by step from behind him. When he got close to him, he raised the spiritual 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 death is coming!" As he spoke, the spiritual knife was about to stab down. At this moment, Gao Shuping, who was already in a daze, suddenly shouted and used all his strength to sweep the spear in his hand backwards. As the spear was swung out, it was spiritualized again and turned back into a spiritual spear.

"Ah——"

The scream of the dark arrow man came from behind him. If it were someone else, this shot would be enough to cut him in two, but unfortunately Gao Shuping's opponent was the dark spiritual cultivator who was best at saving his life. His last shot only hit the air. The dark arrow man suddenly disappeared in the moment before being swept by the spiritual spear, and the spear blade only cut a ball of black mist.

Chirp, chirp!

The unique signal whistle of the dark arrow sounded again. This time, two figures passed by Gao Shuping from left and right, and two long cold lights flashed at the same time. Puff! As the cold light flashed, Gao Shuping's arms were broken, and they fell to the ground together with the long spear.

"Hmph!" The hidden arrow member who disappeared just now appeared behind Gao Shuping again. Even though the opponent's legs and arms were now completely disabled and no longer posed any threat, as a dark spiritual practitioner, he was still used to appearing behind people.

Looking at Gao Shuping who was almost kneeling on the ground and fainted, the hidden arrow member raised the spiritual knife high with one hand, aimed at his neck, and chopped it down fiercely.

Puff!

With a clean and sharp knife, Gao Shuping's head was directly cut off. Another hidden arrow member rushed forward, picked up the severed head, and said to the other three companions in a dead tone without any ups and downs: "Go back and report to the king and the general."

"Yes!" The bodies of the other three finally stopped appearing and disappearing, dispelled the spiritual armor, sheathed the knife, and turned around and walked towards the central army behind without even looking at the battlefield of the Feng and Ning armies on the other side.

On the battlefield not far away, the three thousand Ning troops were defeated by the two thousand Feng troops led by Nan Ye, leaving behind most of their dead and wounded. The remaining Ning troops crawled towards Liangzhou.

Nan Ye led his men to chase and kill Gao Shuping for a while, and when he saw that he was within the range of Liangzhou, he ordered to stop the chase. At this 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, and he asked his soldiers for a long spear, picked up Gao Shuping's body, and then threw it to the ground, and then 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 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 controlled 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.
