Arrows shot out, logs and stones tumbled down, and the area in front of Longmen Pass quickly turned into a scene of carnage. Hundreds and thousands of Turkic soldiers fell at the foot of the gate tower. The sounds of charging and miserable howls mixed together, and the originally quiet night sky was no longer peaceful!
In a village near Longmen Pass, the villagers who were sleeping soundly were woken up by the loud battle cries. They went out and saw flames in the direction of Longmen Pass. They panicked.
"There's a battle! There's a battle at Longmen Pass! Are the Turks here? "
"Quick! Mother of the children, quickly take the children out and escape to the county! "
"Master, are you crazy? Longmen County's gate is already closed. What's the point of us escaping there? "
"Then let's escape to the mountains! Otherwise, when the Turks enter the village, they'll definitely capture us and send us to the grassland to work as laborers! "
"Yu Dazhuang, what are you waiting for? There's a battle at Longmen Pass! Grab your weapons and go help out at Longmen Pass! "
"Ah? Li Zheng, you want to go to Longmen Pass? What if the Turks are attacking Longmen Pass? "
"Turks? If they're Turks, we have to go! Do you know who the general guarding Longmen Pass is? It's Marquis Yong 'an! Who was the one who saved our village? It's Marquis's Sky Rooster Brigade! If you don't help Marquis today, I'll see if you can live with your conscience! "
"What? Marquis is at Longmen Pass? How is that possible? "
"Why not? Rengui went hunting in the mountains today and met Marquis on the way. Marquis was leading an army to enter Longmen Pass. Now that someone is attacking Longmen Pass, Marquis must be in danger. If you're a man, grab your weapons and follow me to help Marquis! As for the women and children, run to Yamachō to hide! Sigh! Isn't that Rengui? Rengui, where are you going? Wait for us to go together! "
Xiu Village! This was Xue Rengui's hometown, Longmen County Xiu Village in Jiang Province!
Xue Rengui had long heard the battle cries from afar. At this moment, he had already carried his bow, feather arrows, and modao on his back and walked quickly towards the village entrance!
Hearing someone calling him, he stopped in his tracks and turned to look at the burly man. He replied, "Gao Lizheng, I'm going to Longmen Pass to take a look! Tell the villagers to bring along hunting bows if they have one. It's the best thing to use to defend the city! Besides, Uncle Yu, with Marquis around, the Longmen Pass won't be breached. The army from the county will be here soon. You don't have to rush Aunt Yu and the rest into the mountains. It's not safe in the mountains at this time of the night! "
After saying that, Xue Rengui did not care about what the two of them thought. He immediately turned around and rushed towards the Dragon Gate.
"Sigh! Ren Gui! Just you wait … be careful! "
The big man surnamed Gao stood on his tiptoes and looked at Xue Rengui's back anxiously. Seeing that Xue Rengui had run far away, he helplessly turned around and said, "Did you hear that, Yu Dazhuang? Quickly grab your weapons and call the rest of the villagers. Follow me to save Marquis! Let the women and children in the village hide at home. Don't go to the mountains. What if they encounter a pack of wolves? Quick! "
Yu Dazhuang had already woken up. He quickly replied, "Okay! Li Zheng! I'll go inform the rest of the villagers! The children's mother, take the children and hide at home. Don't come out! I'll be back soon with Li Zheng! "
After saying that, Yu Dazhuang quickly walked towards a small courtyard of a farmer's house in the east.
If Li Zexuan was not at Longmen Pass, Yu Dazhuang would never have the guts to fight with the Turkic army. Now, no matter how brave the Turkic people were, he had to go because Li Zexuan was the benefactor of the entire Longmen County. He had to repay him for saving his life. Moreover, if they could block the Turkic army outside Longmen Pass, they would have saved his family!
The woman behind him shouted worriedly, "Husband, you have to be careful!"
Because many villagers had already been awakened by the battle cries in the direction of Longmen Pass, it didn't take long for forty to fifty youths with wooden bows, sickles, and shovels to gather at the entrance of Xiu Village. Under the leadership of Gao Li Zheng, this small group quickly headed towards Longmen Pass.
Moreover, the other villagers of Xiu Village were also informing the other villages. It wouldn't be long before the other villages also sent a group of youths to support Longmen Pass!
… … …
"I didn't expect the Tang army to prepare rolling stones and logs in advance. We can't go on like this. The Tang army behind us is about to arrive! I wonder if the State Teacher has a good idea? "
In front of Longmen Pass, under the Turkic army's flag, Ashina She Er turned his head and asked Wu Jie.
At this moment, Wu Jie was sitting cross-legged on his horse with his eyes closed, seizing the time to recover his internal strength. After all, a Great Grandmaster was also a human. From last night until now, not only did he not sleep for a moment, he also fought with several experts and thousands of Tang soldiers. Whether it was internal strength or mental strength, he had consumed a lot. If it was any other person, they definitely wouldn't be able to last until now!
Hearing Ashina She Er's question, Wu Jie opened his eyes and said, "The Tang army has been guarding the gate for so long, but Li Zexuan hasn't come out. This means that Li Zexuan has completely lost his ability to fight! In the Tang army, there are no experts who can fight against this State Teacher. At this moment, I have recovered 60% of my strength. Perhaps I can help you break the gate! "
Wu Jie understood Ashina She Er's meaning. He was now the strongest person in the Turkic army. In this battle of life and death, he couldn't just sit back and do nothing. Besides, now that Longmen Pass didn't have the 'little monster' Li Zexuan as a threat, he could be even more unscrupulous!
Hearing this, Ashina She Er's face lit up with excitement. He laughed heartily and said, "With State Teacher's words, this general can rest assured! After we take back the books of Yanhuang College and kidnap the Marquis of Yong 'an, Ashina She Er will definitely ask the Khan for a reward for State Teacher! "
Wu Jie didn't respond. He changed from sitting cross-legged on his horse to riding. No one could see his face under the black robe, and no one could tell whether he was happy or angry at this moment. A moment later, he stretched out his hand and said in a hoarse voice, "Bring this State Teacher's mace over!"
Previously, he had been sitting cross-legged on his horse to heal, so he naturally didn't carry the heavy mace on his back. Although he didn't care about the weight, it would inevitably affect his healing!
"Yes ~!"
The two Turkic soldiers carried Wu Jie's mace over, and from their expressions, it was clear that this mace was extremely heavy, at least one or two hundred jin!
But Wu Jie stretched out his arm and easily grabbed the mace. Then, he lightly said, "This State Teacher will go and break the gate. You take the elite wolf cavalry and follow behind!"
His tone didn't allow anyone to object. Clearly, he was the one who had the final say here!
Ashina She Er's face didn't show any displeasure. Instead, he respectfully cupped his fists and said, "State Teacher can rest assured. This general will definitely not fall behind!"
Wu Jie imperceptibly nodded. Then, he stroked the mane of his warhorse and muttered meaningfully, "What a pity for such a good horse!"
Saying so, he no longer hesitated. He kicked the horse's belly and shouted, "Hyah ~!"
Peng peng peng!
Soon, Wu Jie's warhorse began to crazily accelerate, becoming faster and faster until it couldn't distinguish between friend and foe. The Turkic soldiers in front of Wu Jie who were attacking the gate were all sent flying by his warhorse. Wu Jie rode alone, wielding his mace, like an unparalleled War God, rapidly charging towards the gate!
"It's Wu Jie! What does he want to do? "
On the city gate tower, Lu Xianda quickly noticed Wu Jie charging out of the Turkic army and was somewhat surprised and puzzled.
Standing next to him, Fang Gongteng took a closer look and suddenly paled. "He wants to break the gate, quick! Everyone, quickly fire arrows in that direction! "
The Dragon Gate Pass was different from the Yanmen Pass. The walls here were much wider, with a width of nearly three hundred feet. It was more than enough to accommodate one or two thousand Archers standing in two rows. Under Lu Xianda's command, the first batch of Archers on the gate tower changed their target, shooting in Wu Jie's direction. Afterwards, the first row of Archers crouched down to reload their arrows, while the second row of Archers continued to shoot in Wu Jie's direction.
Xiu xiu xiu ~!
A sky full of arrows rained down on Wu Jie, but Wu Jie showed no fear. He didn't slow down his horse at all. With one hand holding the reins and the other holding the mace, he waved it in front of him. The powerful True Qi in his body spread out through the mace, quickly forming a 'True Qi Cover' in front of him. All the arrows that came within three feet of him were all sent flying!
In this way, the Turkic soldiers around Wu Jie were completely out of luck. Wu Jie could block the sky full of arrows, but they couldn't! After three volleys of arrows, there wasn't a single Turkic soldier standing next to Wu Jie!
Of course, this wasn't necessarily a bad thing for Wu Jie, because this meant that there was no one in front of him to block his path. Thus, his warhorse once again sped up, leaving behind no one in the dust!
Fifty zhang, forty zhang, thirty zhang, twenty zhang!
In the blink of an eye, Wu Jie was only twenty zhang away from the gate!
On the city gate tower, Hong Wenxing and Fang Gongteng saw Wu Jie's brave and invincible stance and couldn't help but feel a sense of powerlessness. Facing a Martial Grandmaster level Turkic Wolf Cavalry as the vanguard, defending the city had become very difficult. They were already in a weak position, and with the addition of a Martial Grandmaster level Wu Jie, they were even more powerless!
This was somewhat similar to the words Xiang Yu had said when he committed suicide in the Wu River: "Now that I am trapped here, the death of the Heavens is not my fault!"
Not my fault! If the Dragon Gate really fell tonight, it wouldn't be because there was a problem with their command, but rather because Wu Jie's personal strength was too strong, one man could fight against a thousand soldiers!
On top of the city gate tower, the archers were frantically firing arrows in Wu Jie's direction, but none of them seemed to be of any use. The rain of arrows didn't seem to be able to harm Wu Jie in the slightest. When he was about fifteen meters away from the city gate, Wu Jie slapped his horse's back and leapt off. Taking advantage of the super speed he had gained from riding his horse, Wu Jie kicked his horse's head with all his might, gaining another burst of speed. Grabbing his mace, he flew towards the city gate at an even faster speed!
The warhorse was hit by Wu Jie's kick in the air and immediately let out a mournful whine, blood gushing out of its head as it collapsed to the ground. At this moment, Wu Jie was still in the air, swinging his mace to block the incoming arrows while secretly accumulating his strength. Once he reached the gate, he would use his strongest attack and blow the gate open!
At this moment, a young man climbed up the stairs from the side of the city gate tower. The soldiers who saw him were stunned at first, but quickly stepped forward to stop him. However, the young man didn't have time to explain and directly jumped up, stepping on the shoulders of the soldiers, and quickly flew towards the edge of the city wall!
After seeing Wu Jie rapidly approaching, the young man didn't hesitate. While in the air, he nocked an arrow and aimed at Wu Jie!
"Xiu xiu xiu ~!"
The youth shot out like a bolt of lightning, releasing three arrows in quick succession. Bolstered by the youth's True Qi, the three arrows flew towards Wu Jie's chest and ribs in a triangular formation. The speed of the arrows was so fast that they actually created three sonic booms as they flew through the air!
Wu Jie, who was flying towards the gate, suddenly felt a sense of crisis. Looking up, he saw three arrows flying towards him at an extraordinary speed!
[Danger!]
These three arrows had the ability to pierce through his True Qi defence!
Almost in an instant, Wu Jie made such a judgment in his heart!
Thus, he quickly raised his mace and swung it in the direction of the three arrows!
"Ding ding ding ~!"
The three arrows collided with Wu Jie's mace one after another, but in the end, the three ants were unable to shake the elephant. Wu Jie wasn't injured by the young man's three arrows, but because he had to block the three arrows, his speed had slowed down a notch!
However, he still had to break through the Dragon Gate tonight!
Wu Jie faintly glanced in the direction of the young man's battle, then ignored him and continued to fly towards the city gate! Because after a few more meters, because of the angle, the people on the city wall wouldn't be able to shoot arrows at him. At that time, he would be able to use the strength he had accumulated for so long to break through the gate!
"Xue Rengui? You're the Xue Rengui who hunted in the mountains during the day? "
The sudden appearance of the three arrows not only disrupted Wu Jie's rhythm, but also shocked Fang Gongteng and Lu Xianda who were commanding the battle from the city tower!
During the day, when the army had been marching, Li Zexuan had greatly praised Xue Rengui's archery skills. At that time, all of them had been present. Now, seeing Xue Rengui suddenly climb up the city tower and decisively shoot arrows at Wu Jie, Fang Gongteng and Lu Xianda were both surprised and stunned!
"Two Generals, where is Marquis?"
Xue Rengui didn't have time to exchange pleasantries with the two of them. Once again, he nocked another arrow and aimed at Wu Jie, instantly releasing another three arrows. After that, he let out a sigh of relief, not bothering to look at the results, he directly asked Fang Gongteng and Lu Xianda.
