(Two in One Chapter!)
"Black Armored Troops! Isn't the Black Armored Troops stationed outside of Guancheng County? Why are they here? "
When Cui Shen and Zheng Huaijie heard that the enemy was the Black Armored Troops, their faces turned green with fear. The Black Armored Troops were known for their unparalleled combat prowess. The two of them had never been on the battlefield before, but this was their first encounter with the Black Armored Troops. How could they not be terrified?
"Young Masters, there is no need to worry. The Black Armored Troops only have about a thousand men. Let the experts from the Hall of Worship and the men of sacrifice from the Kamikaze Battalion meet them. As for the troops on both sides of the mountain path, let the Shadow Guards deal with them! If we can take down a thousand Black Armored Troops, the south side of Guancheng County will be defenseless. At that time, we will have a better chance of rescuing Old Grandfather and the rest! "
Tieshou Wang was also panicking at the start. However, when he saw the number of Black Armored Troops, he calmed down and tried to persuade them.
"Hall of Worship Wang is right. Let's do as he says!"
At this moment, Cui Shen and Zheng Huaijie were in a state of being out of their wits. Iron Hand Wang's words were like a life-saving straw, letting them see some hope, so they desperately climbed up this life-saving straw.
"Yes! Young Master! "
Tieshou Wang clasped his hands and shouted, "Brothers from the Hall of Worship and the men of sacrifice, follow me to meet the Black Armored Troops!"
"Yes!"
Following a chorus of voices, hundreds of Jianghu people dressed in various colors rushed out from the army. Together with three to four thousand warriors dressed in black, they charged straight at the Black Armored Troops!
"You are courting death! Listen to my command, charge with me! "
Duan Zhixuan saw that the opposing army dared to take the initiative to meet the Black Armored Troops head-on. He roared angrily and urged his horse forward. With a lance in one hand, he charged forward at an even faster speed!
"Kill ~!"
A thousand Black Armored Troops roared in unison and charged forward!
The war horses neighed and their shouts shook the heavens!
The Hall of Worship and the men of sacrifice from the Cui and Zheng Families felt that it was not a thousand men charging at them, but tens of thousands of ferocious beasts!
This was the unparalleled Black Armored Troops!
After so many years of training, the Black Armored Troops of today was much better than the Black Armored Troops of Li World!
"Bang bang bang!"
Duan Zhixuan's warhorse sent countless soldiers from the Cui and Zheng families flying. Wang Tieshou panicked when he saw this. He said to the two people beside him, "Chu Xiaofeng, Hua Xiajian, you two come with me to deal with Duan Zhixuan!"
"Ah? Iron Fist Wang, you're sending us to our deaths! I'm not going! "
Hua Xiajian mocked as he swung his sword to block the Black Armored Troops around him.
Wang Tieshou panicked and shouted angrily, "Hua Xiajian, can you be a little more mature? With us three Great Grandmasters working together, would we still be afraid of a single Duan Zhixuan? If we don't capture him first, our formation will be disrupted by him alone. At that time, no one will be able to survive! "
"Hmph! Alright then! "
Hua Xiajian's expression changed. Moments later, he sent a flying kick towards one of the Black Armored Troops who was about to attack him. He then turned his head towards Wang Tieshou and snorted angrily.
"Hmph! Duan Zhixuan, your opponents are the three of us! "
Just as Duan Zhixuan was killing as if he was invincible, suddenly, three masters wielding swords and sabers came flying towards him!
"Three Martial Dao Grandmasters. The Cui and Zheng families are really generous!"
Duan Zhixuan frowned. He felt that this was going to be tricky!
He had only just entered the Martial Dao Grandmaster realm a few years ago. He could fight and kill enemies, but in a one-on-one fight, he was definitely no match for these three Grandmasters!
However, with the enemy before him, even if he could not win, he had to fight!
Duan Zhixuan slapped his horse's back and soared into the sky, dodging the fatal blows from two Grandmasters. Then, he used his lance to stab the third Grandmaster, Wang Tieshou's chest!
His speed was as fast as lightning, and so was the situation on the battlefield. Previously, it was three against one, but in the blink of an eye, one of the three was about to be killed!
Duan Zhixuan had been on the battlefield for many years. Unlike these Jianghu ruffians, he paid the most attention to killing efficiency. His moves looked simple, but often, the simplest move was the fiercest killing move!
His lance moved forward without hesitation. Wang Tieshou was in the air and had no time to dodge!
"Ah! Duan Zhixuan! How dare you! "
At the moment of life and death, Wang Tieshou roared. His hair moved without wind. He channeled his strength into his sword and swung it to block this sure-kill lance!
Clang!
There was a sharp sound of metal clashing as the sword and lance clashed together. But at this moment, there was a cracking sound. What shocked Wang Tieshou was that the long sword that he had always regarded as a treasure actually had a crack on it.
Duan Zhixuan sneered. "Hmph! To think that ordinary iron would dare to block this general's lance ~! Go to hell! "
With a crack, the long sword in Wang Tieshou's hand suddenly split into two halves. Duan Zhixuan's lance continued to stab at Wang Tieshou's chest!
"Hmph! Duan Zhixuan, it's not that easy to kill me! "
Wang Tieshou growled. Then, he did something that made everyone speechless. He actually used both hands to grab Duan Zhixuan's lance!
Clang!
Just when the onlookers thought that there would be the sound of a sharp blade piercing into flesh, there was a sound of metal clashing on the horse lance. Duan Zhixuan's horse lance was actually blocked by Iron Hand Wang with his bare hands!
"Heh! Duan Zhixuan, now you know why the Jianghu people call me Tieshou, right? What are you two still standing there for? Hurry up and attack! "
Wang Tieshou sneered and shouted at Hua Xiajian and Chu Xiaofeng.
"Master Wang, we're here to help you! As long as we kill Duan Zhixuan today, the three of us will be famous all over the world! Haha! "
Chu Xiaofeng laughed and slashed with his sword. Hua Xiajian was not willing to be left behind. He also hurried over to help.
Duan Zhixuan frowned. He wanted to injure one of the Grandmasters when they were not prepared. Then, he would go and stall for time with the other two Grandmasters. After all, the Grandmasters were too powerful. If he did not hold them back and let them kill him, the Black Armored Army might lose a few hundred men!
But now that his sneak attack did not work, the enemy must be prepared. He would have to face the pressure of the three Grandmasters head-on. It was no different from suicide!
… … …
Half an hour ago.
Guancheng County, Provincial Governor's Mansion.
"Reporting!"
"Reporting to the two Grandmasters, a portion of the soldiers from the three directions outside the city have been transferred to the south of Guancheng County!"
A provincial government soldier hurriedly ran into the main hall of the Provincial Governor's Office and reported.
"What? To the south of Guancheng County? Isn't that where our reinforcements are? "
Cui Wenji stood up and said.
Pan Zhenyue thought for a while and said, "Grandmasters, could it be that they have discovered the traces of our reinforcements and sent their soldiers to stop them from reaching Guancheng County?"
Zheng Shuwu nodded and said, "Yes, it's very likely! Duan Zhixuan's scouts are the best in the world. It shouldn't be difficult for them to discover that our reinforcements are from Xuzhou! "
Cui Junchuo looked at the soldier and asked, "Let me ask you, how many soldiers have been transferred to the east, west, and south gates?"
The messenger cupped his fists and replied, "In reply to Taigong, I can't see the exact number. However, about twenty to thirty thousand soldiers have been deployed from the east and west gates. As for the south gate, it seems that more than a thousand Black Armored Soldiers have been deployed there!"
Cui Junchuo's eyes lit up and said, "More than a thousand? That means there are only about two thousand Black Armored Army left at the south gate? Wenji, Shuwu, the east and west gates are still there. But there are only about two thousand Black Armored Army left at the south gate! Although the Black Armored Army's combat power is unparalleled, they won't be able to withstand the combined attack of three hundred thousand soldiers! We will concentrate on breaking through the south gate and then rendezvous with the reinforcements brought by Shen 'er and Huai Jie! "
Cui Wenji thought for a while and saw Zheng Shuwu nodding. He replied, "Alright! We will transfer most of the soldiers and break through the south gate. If the other two gates send reinforcements to the south gate, we will lead the rest of the soldiers to escape from the east and west gates! "
He was indeed an old fox. This was what it meant to attack in the east and attack in the west!
Cui Junchuo nodded and said, "That's the best! Zhenyue, Cui Quan, go and make the arrangements quickly! "
Half an hour later, the south gate of Guancheng County opened. Cui Quan led 150,000 soldiers and the guards stationed at the south gate and charged towards the two thousand Black Armored Army outside the city!
"Soldiers, we are the Black Armored Army. We will win!" Kill! "
Duan Zhixuan's lieutenant, Wu Feng, roared and led the Black Armored Army to charge forward!
"Pay attention to the formation, don't fall behind!"
Duan Zhixuan's other lieutenant, Zheng Chang, shouted from behind.
…
"Reporting!"
"Lord Pacifier, the rebel army has found out that the south gate is empty. Cui Quan led 100,000 soldiers and charged out from the south gate! I don't think the Black Armored Army can hold on for much longer! "
East City Gate, Central Army Tent.
The messenger hurriedly ran in and bowed to Ren Can.
"What? The rebel army has left the city? "
Ren Can was shocked and immediately became anxious. He said, "There are only two thousand Black Armored Troops at the south gate. Although the Black Armored Troops have unparalleled battle prowess, how can they fight against the hundreds of thousands of rebels in the city? Men, quickly! Gather the soldiers and reinforce the Black Armored Army! "
"Lord Pacifier, you can't do that! You can't do that! "
A middle-aged officer to the left of Ren Can hurriedly stood up to stop him. "Cui Junchuo has only mobilized a few hundred thousand soldiers this time. The other few hundred thousand soldiers are obviously still waiting for an opportunity to make their move. Once we send too many people to the south gate, the main force of the rebels will definitely escape from the east gate. At that time, the ones who let Cui Junchuo and Pan Zhenyue go will be us! Lord Pacifier, please think twice before you act! "
Ren Can frowned and said coldly, "Captain Meng, in your opinion, should we stay put and watch as the Black Armored Army is annihilated and the Cui Family escapes from the south gate? You must know that the Black Armored Army is the army that His Majesty values the most. If His Majesty finds out that we watched the Black Armored Army being destroyed without doing anything, then our sins will be even greater! "
Captain Meng was speechless. He clasped his fist and said, "Lord Pacifier, Lord Pacifier.
"Pacifier, there are currently 55,000 soldiers guarding the East and West City Gates. We can only deploy 5,000 soldiers each to reinforce the Black Armored Troops. This way, we won't weaken the defense of the East and West City Gates by much. Moreover, with 2,000 Black Armored Troops and 10,000 Prefecture Soldiers, even if we lose, we won't lose so quickly! Now, we just have to see if Butler Li's army can arrive before the 2,000 Black Armored Army is completely defeated! Other than that, we have no other choice! "
Ren Can's brows furrowed. He lowered his head and fell into deep thought. After a while, he raised his head and said, "Captain Meng, immediately take five thousand elite soldiers and go to the south gate to support the Black Armored Troops. Also, send someone to the west gate to inform Wang Yu!"
"Yes, Lord!"
The middle-aged general replied loudly and left the tent.
… … …
At the south gate, the two armies were engaged in a fierce battle. The Black Armored Army lived up to their reputation as the heavy-armored cavalry. Even in the face of hundreds of thousands of enemy soldiers, they were not completely defeated. The 2,000 Black Armored Army formed a long snake formation. With their strong charging force and armor, they charged through the rebel army several times. Cui Quan's army of hundreds of thousands had already lost at least 20,000 soldiers. Most of them were killed by the fully-armored horses!
However, the Black Armored Army had also paid a heavy price. After a few charges, they had lost more than 300 soldiers. This made Wu Feng and Zheng Chang's hearts ache.
Those who were able to join the Black Armored Army were all elite soldiers who could fight against a hundred soldiers!
"Set up your formation and surround the Black Armored Army!"
Cui Quan roared and the remaining hundred thousand soldiers, under the command of their respective captains, formed an encirclement and surrounded the Black Armored Troops!
Without an open space, the Black Armored Army could not charge forward. They were like caged beasts!
"Kill!"
From all directions, the rebel soldiers wielded long spears and charged towards the Black Armored Troops.
Without their advantage in speed, the Black Armored Army could only raise their swords to defend themselves. But as the saying goes, two fists are no match for four hands. Under such a dense encirclement, many of the Black Armored Army were dismounted!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
"Kill!"
Suddenly, two armies of thousands of soldiers appeared from the east and west. The rebel army panicked. Wu Feng made a prompt decision and shouted, "Charge out from the east! Kill! "
Soon, the eastern side of the rebel army's encirclement was attacked from both inside and outside. It did not take long for a gap to be torn open!
The Black Armored Army was finally able to charge forward again. Together with the ten thousand soldiers, they started to fight the rebel army again!
However, the hundreds of thousands of soldiers that Cui Quan brought with him were not just a motley crew. There were also twenty thousand Cui Family's Shadow Guards. Coupled with the fact that there were so many of them, the Black Armored Army and the ten thousand soldiers from the provincial government showed signs of defeat.
"Hehe! Looks like we've won! We can leave Guan City from the south gate now! "
On the city gate tower, Cui Junchuo heaved a long sigh of relief after she saw the situation of the battle below.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
"Soldiers, follow me! We're going to save the Black Armored Army!"
Just when Cui Junchuo thought that the situation was settled, a black mass of soldiers suddenly rushed out from the wilderness to the west. The leader was a large number of people holding long lances, riding horses and galloping towards them!
"Niu Jinda? Li Jing? How is that possible? "
