After the Immortal Disappeared

Chapter 435 Kill as Soon as You Come Out

At worst, I can go and hold them accountable tomorrow morning, that’s what he thought before he embraced the beauty.

But he didn’t know that the enemy had already arrived at the gates of the city.

Why couldn’t they stop it?

How could the city gates that had been repaired and reinforced for more than ten years be so vulnerable in front of the Panlong Army?

“Close the palace gates, where are my generals!”

The Xiqi Kingdom also wanted to gather, but could not organize an effective resistance. By dawn, two generals had died in the battle and two were captured. The rest saw that the situation was hopeless and led the army back to the palace city, that is, the inner city, and closed the city gates.

The outer city had been breached, so it was still a feasible method to defend the inner city and wait for reinforcements. The palace gates were stronger than the outer city gates and had more defensive formations. Because the place was small, the manpower was more concentrated, and it was easier to defend.

Not to mention, there was enough food in the palace.

However, until the sun rose in the east, the reinforcements did not come.

What about the garrison troops stationed in the western suburbs and the southern valley, why didn’t they come to rescue!

Otherwise, they could join forces with the king's army to attack from both inside and outside and repel the Panlongcheng army that came from afar!

No matter how angry Hu Yanzhao was, no one around him could give an answer.

He carefully climbed to the top of the palace gate tower and looked down from a high place, but he saw that the battle in the outer city had been sporadic, and the Panlongcheng army had completed its assembly and pressed under the palace gate.

Most of these soldiers were covered in blood, but their eyes were as hungry as wolves, which made the Xijiao people on the gate tower feel cold.

The palace gate fell into a rare silence for a while.

The former general of Xijiao Kingdom stepped forward and shouted: "Who is the leader, come out and speak!"

The team below silently made way, and a man and a horse stepped forward. The rhythmic sound of horse hooves was like stepping on everyone's heart.

The man on the horse was dressed in red armor and wore a red ghost mask on his face. She looked up at the city wall, and Hu Yanzhao, who was standing in the back row, felt that the eyes of the ghost-faced man passed through the former general and fell directly on herself.

The former general's momentum cannot be lost: "Come and tell me your name!"

A cold voice sounded in the heart of every Xijiao person: "Panlong City, General Hong."

This is not the way humans speak, and the former general choked: "Are you a monster?"

General Hong did not bother with him, but spoke directly to the new king: "Hu Yanzhao, the garrison camps at the South Gate and the West Suburbs have been destroyed by my troops, and the reinforcements you are waiting for will not come."

General Nan Ke and others divided their troops to do this on the plain.

In recent years, the surrounding small countries have heard that there is a new general in the Panlong Desert who has become famous, invincible but cruel. When the Xijiao people heard that it was this person who came, their hearts suddenly sank.

Besides, he said that the reinforcements were destroyed, and the palace was isolated and helpless. Everyone looked at each other in fear.

Hu Yanzhao was furious. He took two steps forward and laughed, ignoring the obstruction of the general in front: "You want to confuse my army with just two evil words? General Hong is nothing more than that!"

General Hong said to himself: "Surrender now, I won't hurt you; if you resist stubbornly, the inner city will be littered with corpses."

"General Hong, my Xijue and Panlong City have no grudges or hatreds, how dare you sneak attack!" No martial ethics!

"You blocked the way."

Hu Yanzhao was stunned: "What?"

General Hong explained in a good temper: "We want to go back to Xiluo Kingdom, and you blocked our way."

He Lingchuan, who was listening in the rear army, also felt ridiculous.

It is obvious that Panlong City and Xijue have a deep grudge, but General Hong chose the most insignificant reason. Is he afraid of not being able to anger Hu Yanzhao to death?

"You, you..." Hu Yanzhao was so angry that he was speechless for a while. For such an absurd reason, Panlong City destroyed Xijue? It took him a long time to utter a sentence: "Don't you know how to borrow the road!"

General Hong didn't say more to him: "Surrender, or wait to die?" Then he added, "If you surrender the whole city, you can still live in peace on the land of Xijue. Commander Zhong allows you to be a marquis south of the Weihe River on behalf of our king."

There is a Weihe River in the central and southern part of Xijue. If the river is used as the boundary, there is a large area of ​​land south of it, accounting for about one-third of the country's area. Zhong Shengguang's meaning is very clear. If Hu Yanzhao surrenders immediately, although the king is not safe, he can still be a marquis with one-third of the original land.

This made Hu Yanzhao laugh: "Okay, you Panlong City are so generous to give me a marquis on my land!"

General Hong didn't argue with him: "I will come again in three days, and the land promised by then will be south of Tiaoshan Mountain."

The area south of Tiaoshan Mountain is one-third smaller than the area south of the Weihe River.

Hu Yanzhao's face was livid, and he shouted to his left and right: "Shoot him to death! Shoot quickly!"

At the command of the former general, a rain of arrows fell on the city gate.

The troops below were well prepared and raised their shields to meet them.

With the goal of killing the enemy and beheading them, most of the arrows of the Xiqiao people were aimed at her. He Lingchuan saw the sudden rain of arrows from the back, and he also broke into a cold sweat for General Hong.

In such a large-scale war, there is limited room for individuals to play.

However, General Hong did not dodge or evade, and did not even raise his spear.

The dense arrows were originally aimed at her, but for some reason they all missed, and the ground was pierced into a hornet's nest. It looked very spectacular, but in fact, the closest arrow was three feet away from her.

The former general's eyes moved, and he grabbed the bow with his own hands: "Shoot again!"

Another rain of arrows, and the former general's arrows were also caught in it, and he shot two shots in a row.

One in front and one behind.

He guessed that General Hong was using some sleight of hand or some secret technique to deflect the light, so the arrow aimed at her was off target.

The front general shot these two arrows to calculate the error value.

The Panlong Army below certainly would not sit and wait for the attack, and they all fought back.

However, shooting from below is naturally at a disadvantage, and the opponent is still hiding in the battlements.

General Hong was not in a hurry, turned his horse's head, and trotted back.

Her order was to surround and attack slowly, and kill them when they came out!

The front general on the wall shot two more arrows, but they were still off, but he had estimated the angle and bent his bow again.

However, at this gap, General Hong casually pulled out a feather arrow from the shield of the soldier beside him, turned around on the horse, and threw it back with lightning!

The arrow was so fast that it was hard to see with the naked eye, and there was no sound, and it pierced the front general's right eye.

It went forward and back, and exploded a blood flower.

At this time, the people on the side heard a "swoosh" sound of breaking through the air.

Hu Yanzhao was so scared that he took three steps back in succession and dared not approach the wall again.

The former general had the ability to tear tigers and leopards apart, so how could this ghost-faced man easily pop his eyes?

He didn't even use a bow!

General Hong clapped his hands and ordered: "Don't let any of them out."

She left the King of Xijue on the city gate hanging, and went to dispatch troops to continue chasing the stragglers in the city.

The Panlong Army attacked hastily, and although it was a thunderous force, the victory came quite roughly. Now she has to reorganize the network and eliminate the fish that slipped through the net and the hostile forces in the dark bit by bit.

She also dispatched people to seize important strongholds such as granaries, armories, and horse farms to seize supplies.

At the same time, General Hong also ordered people to post notices to reassure the people, strictly distinguish between the people and officials and the army, and implement military rationing throughout the city.

Hu Yanzhao and others were forced to close the palace gates in the morning, but the battle in Xijue Capital actually lasted until the evening of the next day. Many of the scattered Xiqi troops were separated from the main force in the melee and did not have time to retreat to the palace, so they regrouped in the city and resisted in small, scattered street fighting.

They all wanted to join each other and go to the king.

The elite of the Dafeng Army under the command of General Hong, including He Lingchuan, bit them like a pack of wolves.

Only then can we see that General Hong's tactics are extremely flexible and often anticipate the enemy's moves. The traps she laid are to make the enemy rush to step on them.

Street fighting is also a new combat experience for He Lingchuan. This kind of narrow road encounter and close combat test both combat effectiveness and luck. After all, you really don't know where the enemy will come out from and what tricks they will use to plot against you.

He Lingchuan saw a certain Dafeng sergeant accidentally blown up to a height by the enemy. Before he landed, he could see that his upper body and waist and legs were directly separated.

This person is a member of the Mengshan team.

Seeing this, Meng Shan roared, and charged like a bull, knocking down the two-foot-thick earth wall. The enemies behind the wall were unable to escape, and one had his neck twisted by him, and another was hit by his leg on the pillar, and his brain burst out after three consecutive hits.

The red and white liquid splashed on his face, and Meng Shan was too lazy to wipe it off. When he turned around, he happened to see He Lingchuan standing a few feet away, and immediately shouted: "Thirty-three and thirty-five!"

"Where's thirty-four? Did you eat it?" Does this guy really not know how to count? He Lingchuan grinned at him, "And, I've killed thirty-nine people!"

His method is not as brutal as Meng Shan's, but it is efficient, and the enemies have been abolished by him.

After He Lingchuan finished speaking, he turned and left, leaving Meng Shan furiously yelling at his teammates: "What are you doing? Catch these cowardly rats and kill them!"

At this time, several figures came out from behind the doorway with their hands raised: "Don't kill them, don't kill them, we surrender!"

"One, two, three, four!" Meng Shan was overjoyed and asked his teammates, "Four surrendered, how many people have we captured?"

"Thirty-eight." His teammates were cautious, "We still need one more from the Broken Blade Team."

"Huh?"

Meng Shan's smile suddenly sank.

He Lingchuan jumped over the ruins and saw the seriously injured member of Meng Shan's team lying on the ground.

He was already dead below the waist, and blood and organs were all over the ground.

This kind of injury is beyond recovery.

But he was still alive, watching He Lingchuan stretch out his hand with difficulty.

He Lingchuan took two steps forward, grabbed it, and said in a deep voice:

"I'm here, we're all here."

Liu Tiao and others also came over.

They all recognized this man, and they had toasted He Lingchuan in the restaurant not long ago. I heard that their house was upgraded this year, and he has a lovely sister.

Team Mengshan also ran over, and when he saw his teammates in such a miserable state, his face also sank.

The wounded man said something weakly, and He Lingchuan leaned close to his ear and barely heard two words:

"...Go home..."
