The war continued until the early morning of the next day, and the iron-clad Xiangyang City was finally broken by the Mongolian army.
When the heavy city gate was split open by a battle axe, there were loud shouts from both inside and outside the city.
? One is a joyful cheer, the other is full of despair.
Wu Meiniu retreated from the city head and prepared for street fighting.
She turned back hastily and saw Guo Juxia and Huang Nuxia still shouting and fighting fiercely from a distance, until they were chopped down together with the Dagu military flag by a divine lightning-like sword light.
Wu Meiniu's eyes welled up with crystal tears. She still remembered that more than a month ago, when she led her brothers from the "Xiaoyao Sect" to break through the chain formation of 200,000 Black Tatars and rush into Xiangyang City. At that time, the expressions on the faces of Guo Juxia and Huang Nuxia were so wonderful.
Because there was no armor to protect themselves, this battle also allowed 3,046 brothers to die gloriously on the battlefield. In the end, there were only 294 "Xiaoyao Sect" disciples who successfully broke into Xiangyang, but the average age of these However, the eleven or twelve year old young warrior still won the respect and admiration of all the defenders of Xiangyang City.
However, when the disciples of the ¡®Xiaoyao Sect¡¯ met their martial arts colleagues for the first time, the first words asked by Guo Juxia, the military spirit of Xiangyang and the leader of the martial arts alliance, made everyone extremely unhappy.
"Wu Shaoxia, why did the 'Xiaoyao Sect' send you and others to help me defend the city?"
Guo Juxia has long used the slogan "A great chivalrous person serves the country and the people" and has widely invited martial arts comrades to come and help him to fight against the extremely vicious Black Tatar army that has destroyed countless countries.
But he never expected to get help from the legendary "Xiaoyao Sect".
Rumors about the 'Xiaoyao Sect' have been circulating vaguely in the world. It is said that this sect lives in seclusion on the top of Lingjiu Peak in the Tianshan Mountains. It has always only accepted men and women with great intelligence and stunning appearance as its disciples. The disciples in the sect are talented in martial arts, literature, medicine and astrology. , music, chess, calligraphy and painting, goods farming and trade, drinking and singing, ordering and riddles, five elements and eight trigrams, farmland water conservancy, economic and military strategy, everything is known and mastered
It is said that Guo Juxia has been wandering around the world for many years. Not only has he made friends all over the world in the Central Plains, he has even reached the high position of the Golden Sword Prince Consort in the Black Tartars. However, with his rich experience and extensive connections, he has never been with the 'Xiaoyao Sect'. 'After dealing with it, one can imagine how mysterious and closed this sect is.
It is an unexpected surprise that this hidden sect can take the initiative to send disciples from the Tianshan Mountains to Xiangyang to help them fight against the Mongols. But what puzzles Guo Juxia is why the ¡®Xiaoyao Sect¡¯ doesn¡¯t send adult disciples to help? Is it because Tianshan Mountain is too far away from Xiangyang and these boy scouts are expected to grow up just by walking to the border of Huxiang?
"What's the matter?" Wu Meiniu obviously misunderstood Guo Juxia's implication: "Are you, Peach Blossom Island and the Beggar Gang, allowed to save the world, but we, the 'Xiaoyao Sect', are not allowed to benefit the people?"
"Young heroes of the 'Xiaoyao Sect', please don't misunderstand me." Huang Nuxia was born with a delicate belly. When she noticed that the disciples of the 'Xiaoyao Sect' had angry expressions on their faces, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart. How come you are still the same after so many years, Brother Jing? The horse-roping man on the grassland back then still spoke in such a straight tone: "My master means that you are all at the age of fairy dew pearls, so you should go to school to practice martial arts"
"I understand, it turns out you think we are too young."
"No, no" Huang Nuxia waved her hands repeatedly. It turned out that she didn't really believe that there really was such a bizarre reclusive sect like the 'Xiaoyao Sect' in the world. If they really had to follow their family's standards for accepting disciples, how could this sect still be a member of the martial arts world? It's like a talent among gods! Now that she has seen the disciples of the 'Xiaoyao Sect' with her own eyes, Huang Nuxia feels that the rumors in the world are just rumors in the world. Just looking at the disciples of the 'Xiaoyao Sect' who have entered Xiangyang, it is impossible to say that all of them are handsome men and beautiful women. There are many of them. The person's appearance is ordinary, even crooked and cracked.
But Wu Meiniu, who calls herself the senior sister of the ¡®Xiaoyao Sect¡¯, does look
As a well-known beauty in the world, Huang Nuxia had to admit that the other party's appearance was not inferior to hers at all. However, as a senior in the world, she felt that the other party's tapered chin was really an eyesore. In the mainstream aesthetics of the Southern Song Dynasty, this This face shape belongs to the standard foxy and charming look, which is not a good evaluation.
But what amazed Huang Nuxia even more was Long Aotian next to Wu Meiniu. This was a beautiful young man with a crown of elegance and a handsome figure. The moment she saw him, Huang Nuxia even felt that Xiangyang City was under the control of the people. The battlefield, littered with corpses and like a flesh-and-blood mill, seemed to have turned into the color of dense forests and dark green mountains.
Huang Nuxia felt that among the disciples of the ¡®Xiaoyao Sect¡¯ present, he and Wu Meiniu were the only ones who truly met the legendary ¡®Xiaoyao Sect¡¯¡¯s criteria for accepting disciples.
They are not only good-looking. When three thousand boy scouts broke through the Mongol army's camp, they were the first ones to attack. Their long swords swept awayThe sharp sword aura emitted was as real as real, and its power was spread a hundred steps away. Huang Nuxia saw with her own eyes a group of heavy-armored cavalry with lustful eyes, and their men and horses were chopped into pieces flying all over the sky by their sword aura. Any Black Tartar army that blocked their advance route, whether it was the spear infantry of the Han army princes or the Mongolian warriors wearing ringed armor, were cut down like wheat straw in front of a sickle. Even Meng Ge Khan recruited heavily The scum of the Central Plains, the strange people from Samarkand, Persia, and Dashi, have never been able to defeat each other under their swords.
Huang Nuxia has interacted with the top martial arts masters today, but she has never seen such a bizarre swordsmanship. This is simply the performance of the Six Meridians Divine Sword of Dali Tianlong Temple that has been sublimated countless times. I don¡¯t know the legend. Does the sword demon Dugu Qiubai in the movie have this ability?
However, the rest of the disciples of the "Xiaoyao Sect" are still normal. Although their martial arts are good, they are only at the level of the Seven Monsters of Jiangnan and the Four Ghosts of the Yellow River. They are far from the heaven-defying and exaggerated swordsmanship of Wu Meiniu and Long Aotian. This finally makes Huang Nuxia felt better.
"It's not that you are too young, it's just that we, adults, feel guilty watching young boys like you die on the battlefield." Huang Nuxia did feel guilty because she couldn't help but be jealous of two girls who were not even older than her own daughter. children.
"A great chivalrous person serves the country and the people! We, the disciples of the Xiaoyao Sect, do not value age, but only ability!" Wu Meiniu made the two heroes Guo and Huang speechless with just one sentence: " Has Heita's Butcher's Knife ever wondered whether you are older or younger?"
The answer is yes. The Mongols slaughtered cities wherever they went. Children who were taller than a wheel were all killed. How could they ever show any mercy?
Guo Juxia and Huang Nuxia were snatched away by Wu Meiniu, so they had no choice but to give up those unrealistic and entangled ideas.
Xiangyang City is in danger, and one of the defenders wishes they could be broken in half and used. Now that these child soldiers of the "Xiaoyao Sect" who are highly skilled in martial arts can help, it is better than nothing, right?
As the disciples of the ¡®Xiaoyao Sect¡¯ settled down in the barracks in the city, a miracle happened to them.
This miracle was discovered only by chance.
At that time, because of the proud achievements of the "Xiaoyao Sect", the people of Xiangyang took the initiative to donate a batch of materials to reward their troops. However, when Long Aotian, a disciple of the "Xiaoyao Sect" was helping to kill chickens, he accidentally discovered that all he had to do was shout "Sacrifice" ', the chicken you killed will disappear mysteriously, and at the same time, a rooster-shaped talisman will appear on your arm, with strange patterns and colorful patterns.
The other brothers and sisters who were killing pigs and sheep also tried to imitate the cat and tiger. In the end, no one ate a single piece of the meat as a reward for the army, but it gave hundreds of "Xiaoyao Sect" disciples an extra piece of meat on their arms. Mysterious rune marks in different animal shapes.
When participating in the defense of the city during the day the next day, the disciples of the "Xiaoyao Sect" who had the symbols of mysterious animal runes suddenly discovered that they could summon ten alien warriors with animal heads and bodies from the mysterious runes to help out.
As long as the animal you kill is what kind of animal head the alien warrior will have.
Of course, chicken-headed warriors are short, pig-headed warriors are short and fat, and bull-headed warriors are tall and muscular
These unlucky disciples of the "Xiaoyao Sect" also discovered that they could control these beast-headed warriors like arms and fingers without being distracted.
They are like their own clones.
This sudden emergence of fighting force suddenly reversed the disadvantage of the Xiangyang defenders. No matter how brave the Black Tartar warriors were, they would be frightened and weak when facing these grotesque beast-headed warriors. Make a stop.
As time went on, the disciples of the ¡®Xiaoyao Sect¡¯ also discovered that this mysterious rune mark could summon ten beast-headed warriors every day. If there were no losses to the ten beast-headed warriors yesterday, he could summon twenty beast-headed warriors the next day, and thirty beast-headed warriors on the third day One month later, when the number of beast-headed warriors increased to three hundred name, the military strength can no longer be increased.
This special rune mark seems to only work on animals. If you kill a Black Tartar warrior and shout a sacrifice, it will have no effect. However, the 'Xiaoyao Sect' doesn't care too much about whether they can obtain human warriors. After rounds of comparisons, everyone still feels that it is more cost-effective to kill the horses of the Mongolian heavy cavalry and sacrifice them as human warriors, because their bodies are extremely strong. He can hold a bed crossbow and shoot, and he can also swing a giant hammer and ax effortlessly. He is more capable of martial arts than his own young body.
The Xiangyang defenders were also panicked at first, because the beast-headed warriors summoned by the disciples of the "Xiaoyao Sect" really reminded everyone of monsters. But when they saw these beast-headed warriors fighting desperately to protect the city, the attitudes of both the defenders and the people immediately changed. everyone believes itI swore that this was when the Jin people attacked Bianliang in the past. The officials asked the old god Guo Jing to recruit Liu Ding Liujia to help defend the city. Because Guo Shenxian did not have enough magic power, the heavenly soldiers and generals he invited arrived at me today. The Song Dynasty found that there was nowhere to go, so it simply turned to the immortal disciples of the "Xiaoyao Sect" in Xiangyang City.
But no one can explain clearly why the Six Ding Liujia Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals should be on outsiders instead of Xiangyang locals.
In fact, many people, including Guo Juxia and Huang Nuxia, secretly tried to sacrifice livestock, livestock and small animals they could find, but to no avail, as if fate only favored these disciples of the 'Xiaoyao Sect'.
The disciples of the 'Xiaoyao Sect' all felt that Liu Ding Liujia's theory of heavenly soldiers and heavenly generals was crude, and they did not want to have anything to do with the old liar Guo Jing who had deceived the Second Emperor of Huiqin. After a heated discussion, They named the beast-headed warriors 'Demon Soldier Familia', called the mysterious rune mark 'Demon Talisman', and proudly called themselves 'Demon Talisman Lord'.
Wu Meini originally thought that with the 294 disciples of the Xiaoyao Sect and the 300 demon soldiers and family members each, it would be a joke to talk about defending Xiangyang. She is not a turtle, so why should she stick to it? ?
She is going to spend another month to have everyone gather 300 tauren or centaur warriors. She is going to go out of the city to fight back. She is going to lead 88,200 demon soldiers and family members to counterattack the 200,000 Mongolian cavalry!
But Wu Meini never expected that before the plan started to be implemented, a traitor would appear beside her, and he was also her most trusted and closest right-hand man - Long Aotian! This bastard took advantage of the fact that the brothers had collectively replaced the new demon talismans and were unable to summon the demon soldiers and their families, and colluded with the Mongolian army to suddenly launch an unprecedented fierce offensive against Xiangyang!
His violent rebellion resulted in his brothers being killed one after another, as well as countless martial arts heroes from the Central Plains who fought side by side.
Wu Meiniu knew that his ultimate target was herself. She didn't know why, but she just had this strong premonition.
So she retreated to the alleys in the city in time, hoping to lure the opponent away from the city and preserve more combat power for the defenders.
Her idea came to nothing, and Guo Juxia and his wife were killed by Long Aotian's sword.
Her idea was not in vain. As expected, Long Aotian flew over the city and rooftops like an eagle, chasing after her. She didn't know how he found his existence in the chaos.
Wu Meiniu knew that her swordsmanship was not as good as Long Aotian's. They had competed with each other many times. Her sword power was always surpassed by his, and all the sword routes were always predicted by him. arrive.
But Wu Meiniu was not afraid, she was just sad. She didn't expect that the man she secretly loved would betray her without mercy and for no reason.
This duel lasted for four days.
Even if the Mongolian army captured Xiangyang, they would not dare to get too close to the battle radius of the two swordsmen, because anyone who dared to get close would be chopped into pieces by the sword energy intertwined in the sky.
Wu Meiniu didn¡¯t know how she sustained herself, and she didn¡¯t remember how many sword wounds she suffered.
"Why don't you accept death calmly?" Long Aotian kept asking her.
Wu Meiniu¡¯s only answer was the lightning-like sword light.
She was too lazy to ask Long Aotian why he betrayed. Swordsmen still have to rely on their swords to speak. Whoever wins is right.
"Your talent in swordsmanship really amazes me. We fought for four days, and you were transforming every moment. There was not a moment when you were not improving." Long Aotian looked at Wu Meiniu who was covered in blood and had a broken arm in amazement: "But you are also human. You won't be able to hold on much longer. Sooner or later, you will be too tired to hold the sword and let me slaughter you! Why bother to resist and just kill me by pulling your neck? It will be over once and for all. At least it won't be so painful."
Wu Meiniu¡¯s sword is as powerful as Mount Tai.
"Don't you see it? My swordsmanship talent is much higher than yours. Every time you improve, I also improve." Long Aotian was a little angry: "Why don't you admit defeat?"
Wu Meiniu smiled disapprovingly and slashed Long Aotian from a distance with her sword. The sword light was still as bright as lightning, and the sword power was as steady as Mount Tai.
"Originally I didn't want to be like this, but I have to win without using force." A round hole with sparks flying and rapidly expanding opened in the void behind Long Aotian, and ten tall and majestic elephants as tall as iron towers appeared. The demon-headed soldier held a giant sword on the door panel and strode out of the round hole, as imposing as a moving iceberg.
The Demon Soldier Familia is like a clone of its master. It can fight spontaneously without distracting control.
The appearance of these ten elephant-headed demon soldiers means that Wu Meiniu will face the siege of eleven Long Aotian.
But she still held on tenaciously, even though she was a little bumpy and shaky.
Just like Long Aotian said, she is making progress every moment.
When encountering a strong force, she becomes stronger and rises against the wind. This is her nature and her mission.
Until the end of the fight, Wu Meiniu not only sustained herself, but also seized the opportunity to release the demon soldier family members that had not been released, ten flying ant soldiers, and a hidden arrow pierced Long Aotian's left eye in one fell swoop.
"The bigger the Demon Soldier Familia is, the better." She did not forget to sarcastically say: "Your fighting talent is actually full of craftsmanship, and you have been imitating me, but there are always things you can't imitate, such as my ability to The use of demon soldiers.¡±
"Don't try to anger me, it's useless." Long Aotian seemed to feel no pain, pulling out the body of a flying ant soldier from his bloody blind eye, and crushing it with his fingers: "I am imitating you, my fighting talent It is full of craftsmanship, but the reason why you are not dead is that I have kept my hand! Now I have changed my mind. Unless you can make another leap in the realm of martial arts now, your fate cannot be changed - answer me , are you ready to admit defeat, or are you ready to die?"
"As long as I still hold the sword in my hand, I can face the whole world!" This was the only time Wu Meini answered in four days. Her voice was hoarse and dry, like a swordsman sharpening his frost blade on a sharpening brick. .
A cold, decisive scent of osmanthus suddenly entered her nose. Wu Meiniu was stunned for a moment, and the gate of a dusty memory suddenly opened. Why? Why have I never smelled this strange yet familiar body fragrance on Long Aotian?
A smile of enlightenment slowly appeared on her face. As the sword in her hand was raised again, her aura was rising like smoke, and her eyes were focused like lightning, so gorgeous that it was impossible to look at it.
Long Aotian closed his only intact eye in pain and despair.
