Starting today, I will update two to three times a day. If I can't do it, I will definitely make it up within three days.
Chapter 32: The city is in ruins and retreats
Sikong Wu's dagger penetrated into Ma Tianfeng's ribs without any hindrance. The shockingly destructive but calm water-like spiral energy flowed out along the dagger, instantly exploding in Ma Tianfeng's internal organs, just like a surging undercurrent rushing into a closed stone chamber. Normally, no matter how strong Ma Tianfeng's cultivation was, it would be difficult to temper his inner organs into gold and iron, and he would be blown to pieces by Sikong Wu's spiral power!
With a twist of Sikong Wu's wrist, the dagger created a blood hole as big as two fingers under Ma Tianfeng's ribs. As soon as the dagger was withdrawn, the blood hole spurted out blood foam mixed with minced meat and blood under the pressure of the spiral force. , Ma Tianfeng couldn't even scream, he looked at Sikong Wu with wide eyes and disbelief, and then he was stabbed into the chest by Han Yun, who was coming from the front, and another sword cut his head into the air. !
The bandit leader who straddled the border between the Blue Moon Empire and the Qingtian Empire was killed by the joint efforts of Master and Disciple Sikong Wu!
In fact, with Ma Tianfeng's strength, a strong man who is infinitely close to the realm of Emperor Wu, even if he loses to Sikong Wu and Han Yun, and the cooperation of the Silver Tooth Giant Elephant, it is not a problem to escape. Once he joins forces with Jin Hanjiang, he will in turn massacre Sikong Wu and Han Yun. It was an easy task for Han Yun, but he was too careless. He didn't expect that Sikong Wu had a soul armor to protect his body, and he also practiced a golden bell. He didn't suffer any damage at all from his sword energy, and was hit by the sword energy. A counterattack can then be launched.
Because of this, he was successfully attacked by Sikong Wu. Even without Han Yun's follow-up kill, Ma Tianfeng, whose internal organs were destroyed, would have no way of survival.
Of course, if Han Yun hadn't attracted Ma Tianfeng's attention, Sikong Wu wouldn't have been able to succeed easily. It's correct to say that Ma Tianfeng died because Sikong Wu and Han Yun joined forces.
From when Ma Tianfeng led the bandits to attack Sikong Wu to when he was jointly attacked and killed, it was just a tea break, especially when Sikong Wu pointed out his gun and attacked him, it was just a blink of an eye, Jin Hanjiang didn't react at all, and saw Ma Tianfeng's head flying into the air!
Although Jin Hanjiang is the leader of the Iron Blood Gang and Ma Tianfeng is the deputy leader, Jin Hanjiang knows that Ma Tianfeng is stronger than him. Even Ma Tianfeng cannot last three breaths under Han Yun and Si Kongwu. Seeing Si Kongwu and Han Yunzheng joining forces to kill The remaining bandits didn't even have the courage to come and avenge Ma Tianfeng!
Not only that, Ma Tianfeng was killed, and the soldiers of the Jingtie Mine who were originally killed saw the bravery of Sikong Wu, Han Yun and others, and they felt courage out of thin air, and once again gathered hundreds of people to besiege them.
In fact, the bandits and the soldiers from the Jingtie Mine fought for half an hour. Most of the soul power was consumed greatly, and the strength gap between the two sides quickly narrowed. The bandits relied on nothing more than two masters, Ma Tianfeng and Jin Hanjiang. Now Ma Tianfeng was killed , the top combat force has the upper hand instead, it is the fine iron mine side. Some fine iron mine generals and Qin Tiancheng generals can naturally see the key, and immediately gather people to assist Sikong Wu and others!
This is inside the fine iron mine, and most of the bandits cannot attack yet. Once the bandits' backbone is killed, their fighting spirit will be greatly reduced. They were ferocious, but they were not afraid of life and death. Seeing that the situation was not good, Jin Hanjiang had no choice but to lead more than a hundred bandits and turned around to kill. Otherwise, once Sikong Wu and others freed their hands, he and the hundreds of others would be afraid of being killed. Stayed in the fine iron mine.
Peng Linyu and other three bandit leaders in the Martial Emperor realm were firmly held under the city gate by Lei Meng and Ren Zizhen. They also saw that Jin Hanjiang and others retreated, and the pressure inside the fine iron mine was greatly reduced, and more manpower was concentrated. Once under the city gate, even if we continue to attack by force, it may be difficult to capture the city gate.
Although Zhu Tian was determined to send more manpower, the Black Horn army thirty miles away was slowly approaching the fine iron mines. He didn't know if there would be a small number of elite troops hiding nearby, waiting for him. When the whole army presses forward, these hidden enemies will suddenly burst out. In desperation, they can only issue a retreat order, repair themselves, and then launch the offensive again.
For bandits, the difference in individual strength is their advantage. Once the battle continues for a long time, this advantage will become smaller and smaller. It is better to rest and restore soul power before launching an offensive. In addition, the siege vehicle can also collect huge boulders and deliver long-range strikes to the Fine Iron Mine. Even if it does not have much effect, it can at least prevent the people in the Fine Iron Mine from relaxing. They will never dare to leave the siege vehicle. The strike range gives the bandits a chance to attack.
As the bandits retreated, Lei Meng and Ren Zizhen breathed a sigh of relief, although they knew that the bandits' next wave of attack would be more violent and difficult to resist.
Under the offensive of the three powerful Martial Emperors, Lei Meng and Ren Zi were under great pressure. It can be imagined that if one of them made a mistake, the remaining one would definitely not be able to withstand the joint attack of the three bandits. Once the city gate fell, I am afraid that Sikong Wu There was no time for Qilianshan and others to retreat into the ancient tomb in the mine!
They tried their best to resist the bandits, just to delay the arrival of soldiers from Xuanwu City and border troops.
In just half an hour of fierce fighting, more than 700 of the more than 3,000 soldiers in the Jingtie Mine were killed, and more than 300 were seriously injured and lost their combat effectiveness. Most of the remaining ones had minor injuries. One third of the combatants were lost.
However, most of those who died were miners and ordinary soldiers who were poorly trained, and the impact on the fine iron mines was not as great as it seemed.
As for the bandits, the casualties were much lighter than those at the Fine Iron Mine. There were about three hundred bandits left in the mine, and the number of injured was not much better than that at the Fine Iron Mine.
Seeing the opponent's siege vehicles constantly throwing boulders towards the mines, Ren Zizhen knew the opponent's plan, but he had no choice but to do so. He also knew that the physical fitness of the soldiers on his side was not as good as the opponent's. Once the opponent recovered their soul power and came to kill him, the fine iron would The possibility of the mine collapsing was extremely high, so Qilianshan and Sikongwu had to retreat to the ancient tomb with a few trusted guards.
Sikong Wu originally didn¡¯t want to leave so quickly, but Lei Meng saw the ferocity of the bandits and was determined not to let Sikong Wu take risks. He bluntly said that Sikong Wu refused to retreat, so he took action to restrain Sikong Wu and asked Han Yun to take him away.
Sikong Wu had no choice but to retreat into the mine with six guards including Han Yun and Cao Yun under the leadership of Qi Lianshan.
They did not enter the ancient tomb directly, but just looked at the situation outside at the entrance of the mine.
Sure enough, the bandits only rested for an hour, and then the whole army pressed forward. Under the huge pressure of the eighth-grade Martial Emperor Zhu Tian, ??Lei Meng and Ren Zizhen couldn't hold on for long, even if they were suddenly killed in the nearby mountains. Dozens of strong martial artists came out to attack the siege vehicle of the bandit coalition with all their strength, which attracted some of the bandits' attention. However, it only lasted for two or three sticks of incense before the protection points at various points on the city wall completely collapsed.
Lei Meng and Ren Zizhen saw that the situation was not good, abandoned the soldiers who were still fighting hard, got rid of Peng Linyu's entanglement, and quickly ran towards the mountainside.
Peng Linyu and the others were cautious by nature, otherwise they would not have survived to this day under the encirclement and suppression of the Imperial Army. They were afraid that Lei Meng and Ren Zizhen might have some back-up plan to lure them up the mountain. Get rid of each other easily.
But it was basically impossible for the soldiers who stayed to fight near the city wall to escape with their lives.
Lei Meng and Ren Zi are not real imperial generals. At this juncture, even if they want to save the lives of their soldiers, it is difficult to do so, so they have to leave the soldiers behind. If they are real generals, most of them will choose to live and die with the soldiers. Only such generals can truly gain the support of the soldiers and win one victory after another.
Qi Lianshan and Sikong Wu saw it with tears in their eyes, but killing them at this time would not have much effect. They could only suppress the resentment in their hearts and watch their soldiers being chopped to the ground one by one by the bandits. They waited until Lei Meng and Ren Zizhen After retreating, he quickly retreated deep into the mine with his guards.
After making seven turns and eight turns, a few people came to the end of a mine. They removed a huge rock on the cave wall, revealing a small secret passage that led to the ancient tomb.
Qin Wu¡¯s silver-tusked giant elephant cannot enter the ancient tomb through this trail. It has long been hidden deep in the mine with other people¡¯s mounts. Although it is likely to be discovered and taken away by bandits, there is no way.
Lei Meng walked at the end, firmly grasping the back of the boulder with both hands, and moved hard towards the entrance of the passage. The boulder weighing several thousand kilograms firmly blocked the passage.
The entrance to the passage has been disguised by Ren Zizhen and others. A large depression was dug into the entrance of the cave, just enough for the huge stone to be embedded in it. From the outside, there is nothing unusual.
