Chapter 343
"Hey—I'm freezing to death."
"Zhou Bapi, this dog slave, hides in the house drinking tea, but let me stand guard. One day, when I chop off the heads of the bandits and get promoted to an official, I will let him taste the taste of the northwest wind!"
On the city wall of Shouchang, a soldier with frostbite on his face was curled up behind the parapet, rubbing his fingers as thick as carrots, complaining all over his face.
In the middle of winter, the wind on the city wall cut people's faces like a knife, and the clothes on their bodies were still the winter clothes issued the year before, which were already compacted like cicada's wings, and they could not resist the cold wind at all.
"All right, all right, it's better than going to the front line. Look at how many people have passed by, have you seen anyone come back?" the fellow soldiers whispered.
"What are you talking about? Hiding behind this bird, eating porridge twice a day, I can't even poop out, why not go to the front line, and still have a full meal..."
The two soldiers were complaining, and suddenly stopped speaking in unison.
"Did you hear it?"
"It's like the sound of hooves!"
The two looked at each other, got up suddenly, lay on the crenel of the female wall and looked out of the city, and saw a cavalry army rushing towards them.
"Which fan team is this? Could it be the frontier army?"
"That banner...not good, it's the Dingyuan Bandit Army!"
The two soldiers squinted against the cold wind, their expressions suddenly changed.
"Woooooo-"
At the same time, warning horns sounded on the city wall, and countless soldiers rushed to the top of the city with nervous faces.
Not long after, the general guarding the city arrived. Seeing the cavalry rushing from outside the city, he deliberately laughed and said: "A group of idiots, how do you attack the city on horseback? Boys, the opportunity to make contributions has come!"
On the city wall, there were a few sparse echoes.
The soldiers who complained a lot before, looked at the black soldiers outside the city, their faces lost all blood.
His swollen hands could hardly hold the weapon.
"Rumble..."
The earth trembled, and the cavalry drew closer.
When he got close, he could even see the excited eyes of the bandit soldier's helmet.
"Is the bandit army crazy? Are they going to use cavalry to fill up ravines and pile up corpses as mounds to enter the city?"
Seeing the cavalry getting closer and closer, the general defending the city had a look of disbelief.
"Boom—"
A loud noise suddenly came from beneath his feet.
While the defenders were stunned, the huge hanging legs collapsed and a bridge was built over the moat.
Before the soldiers could react, a cyan figure suddenly flew out from the Dingyuan army, overlooking the whole city, and announced loudly:
"His Majesty the Emperor Dajing has a decree: Dingyuan is a rebel army, and Shouchang is under the control of traitors..."
"Shut up! How dare a rebel pass on a false imperial decree?"
An angry reprimand came from the city, followed the reputation, and saw a purple-robed Taoist stepping through the air, accompanied by countless talismans flying, like a god-man!
"immortal?"
Seeing this scene, the city guards were stunned, and after a short period of sluggishness, they immediately burst into cheers.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the cheers started, a stream of light shot from Dingyuan's army like a star falling from the sky.
"Boom!"
There was an earth-shattering loud noise, billowing smoke and dust flooded the streets and alleys of Luli.
"This--"
The defenders who had just raised their voices were instantly stunned.
It wasn't until the soldiers approaching the city that the earth-shattering shouts and killings came, did they wake up like a dream.
However, it was too late.
Countless cavalry stepped on the suspension bridge and rushed out of the city, like chopping melons and vegetables, cutting down all the soldiers and even the people along the way, clearing the way for the follow-up troops to enter the city.
Almost instantly, the huge city was in chaos.
"How could this be? Could it be that the front lines have all fallen?"
Shouchang Zuo Yanfa stared blankly at the soldiers rushing into the city, feeling as if he had fallen into an ice cave, and his whole body was cold.
He didn't even dare to get up to meet the enemy.
You Yanfa jumped up and died without seeing the enemy's trace. The Dingyuan army obviously dispatched top-level power.
How could he dare to fly to meet the enemy?
It took him a while to react, and he threw out more than a dozen talisman swords in a row to send the message to the outside.
This group of rebels dared to go deep into the hinterland of the imperial court, and even sent a powerful man to sit in the guard, so the rear was bound to be empty.
Even if it can occupy Shouchangdu, it is just a lone chess piece.
At that time, there is no need to attack, and the army will be surrounded, and the water and food will be cut off. It will not be long before they will die.
Thinking of this, Zuo Yanfa simply hid his tracks and fled to the streets and alleys of Luli.
It is planned to wait until the imperial army attacks, and cooperate with the inside and the outside.
"Run away—"
"The thief army is coming!"
"Whoa whoa-"
"Yaoer——Yaoer—"
At this moment, the city was in complete chaos, Dingyuan soldiers killed anyone they saw, and galloped wildly, no matter how the people ran, they couldn't escape the blood-stained long street.
Zuo Yanfa turned pale and pretended not to see him.
However, the screams one after another, like a demon in his heart, tormented his conscience.
"Master Jun, don't kill the child...don't kill the child..."
When turning around an alley, a woman fleeing in a hurry suddenly fell to the ground, and the baby who was still in her arms burst into tears.
The soldier who rushed in had already turned his eyes red, raised his knife and dropped it, and his huge head rolled to the side of the road.
"Whoa whoa-"
The swaddling baby seemed to feel something, and the crying became more and more sharp, which made the soldier suddenly look at him with scarlet eyes, and he was about to wring him to death with his feet.
"All ghosts will be destroyed with the talisman, and thousands of monsters will be destroyed by the curse!"
There was a roar of anger, and a dazzling talisman appeared out of thin air, hitting the soldier's chest like a hammer.
"boom!"
How can a mortal body withstand Taoism?
But in an instant, the soldier's body was shattered!
——Shouchang Zuo Yanfa couldn't suppress the anger in his heart after all, and made a move.
This move was immediately exposed.
"Fellow Daoist, why bother to show off your power with the soldiers, why not come up and fight?"
A loud laugh came from the air.
Not waiting for Shouchang Zuo Yanfa to use the escape method, the extremely familiar Liu Guang fell from the sky.
"Sacred beasts help me, gods help me!"
Zuo Yanfa's complexion changed drastically, and he quickly cast his supernatural powers, surrounded by countless talismans, faintly blessed by the spirit of tigers and leopards.
"boom!"
The power of the gods descended from the sky, shaking the world.
Flying sand and rocks, rolling up billowing dust and haze, like a dragon blowing and wrapping clouds, shaking down countless street walls.
After a while of uproar, the world was quiet.
Only the indistinct shouts of killing and screams, as if the tide came from all directions, submerged the broken Taoist body under the gravel.
"Cough-cough-"
A painful and suppressed cough came.
But it didn't attract anyone's attention.
The monk accompanying the Dingyuan Army seemed to be extremely confident, and he didn't believe that anyone could survive his attack.
In fact, it does.
Shouchang Zuo Yanfa is dying.
Gravel filled his already empty chest, and his internal organs had already been turned into powder, seeping into the land that supported him.
"Do you want your soul to return to Daoshan?"
"If I knew this, maybe I should have shot earlier... Maybe I could save a few more people."
"I'm so sorry!"
"The Tao is learned from the heart, and the fake incense is passed on from the heart. Incense is burned in the jade furnace, and the heart is kept in front of the emperor. The true spirit is looking forward to, and the immortals will come to the pavilion. The ministers will tell you that the journey will reach nine days... Mingchen Taoist friends, watch the speed and watch Chang... Shou Chang..."
[Thanks for the reward from "generally passing through the Zha Zong"! 】
