The Legend of Swing Sword and Execution of Demons

Chapter 749: Things Falling

Leng Mei and Jiang Yichen ate fish in Niu Mountain for a month and a half.

During this month and a half, there was not a single snowfall in the Wala Courtyard.

The clouds in the sky seemed to be injected with molten lead. They became thicker and heavier and floated slower and slower.

The huge Wala courtyard seemed to be covered with a thick blanket, making it hard for people to breathe and unable to raise their heads.

The news about Leng Mei and Jiang Yichen was spreading like wildfire, becoming a shadow hanging over the hearts of the Wala people.

According to the post-war statistics of the Oirat side on the battle of the First Line Canyon.

There were eighty wounded, three hundred and fifty-six dead, and none of the thirteen warriors survived.

Half of the casualties were caused by the crossbows that the two men had stolen.

If these casualties could save the lives of Leng and Jiang, it would be worth it.

However, they mobilized more than 3,000 troops to chase and intercept them everywhere, and deployed a large array of 1,000 people in the First Line Canyon, but not only did they fail to take the heads of the two men, but they also caused more than 400 casualties. They mobilized 2,000 people to search the mountains and surround the lake, but they didn't even smell the scent of the two men!

  Not only were the Oirat people slapped in the face, but it could be said that someone stood on their heads and urinated on their own history books, which was a great shame and humiliation!

Of course, in order to maintain official face, the Wala military insisted that the two bandits were killed in the chaos, and they found two bloody and incomplete bodies of a man and a woman and hung them under the south wall of Nanwang City for public display, and spread the news throughout the country and beyond.

It was seven days after the battle in Yixian Gorge that the news that Leng and Jiang had attempted to assassinate the governor of the southern expedition of the Oirat Mongols, wreaked havoc in the Oirat city walls, and were hunted down and killed spread throughout Zhongzhou.

In Zhongzhou, some people were delighted at the two men's journey thousands of miles north, shocked at their overwhelming force, and worried about their safety, but no one would believe that the two men were dead, no matter if they were their enemies, friends, or irrelevant listeners.

Many people's unreasonable trust in the two stems from emotion or intuition, but the Zhongzhou court and some people in the martial arts world have found out the temporary military camps set up in Niushan and Yezi Lake.

If Leng Mei and Jiang Yichen had really surrendered, why would the Wala army waste their energy in that remote place?

The situation can only be found out in Zhongzhou, but if the Wala people themselves pass by, they can always see some clues.

Doubts are rising one after another, and the official vague and ambiguous statements are no longer able to convince the people of Wala.

  As the situation gradually escalated, coupled with the Zhongzhou side fanning the flames, from the central courtyard to the east and west courtyards, the entire Wala was shocked!

Two more people from Zhongzhou shocked the entire Wala!

The last time was when Xiao Yutong and Yan Qing led the Zhongzhou Army and the Zhongzhou heroes from Zhongzhou and killed the Wala.

At one point, the previous Holy Khan of the Oirat was forced to flee in fear and hide in the cold and desolate land of the far north, and he was unable to return to his tent until his death.

This time, the two Zhongzhou people did not have such brave men behind them, so they were outnumbered and alone. Why did the Wala court be bullied and mocked by them and lost all their face?

Just two people from Zhongzhou stayed in Wala for more than ten days, but they caused Wala to suffer so much loss?

  There is confusion, humiliation, and fear!

Just like the Wala people couldn't imagine how two people from Zhongzhou could make them so embarrassed.

  Leng Mei and Jiang Yichen would never have thought that the Wala people, without any official guidance or instigation, would spontaneously and unanimously transform those negative emotions that were disadvantageous to themselves into anger!

The anger that comes from knowing shame and then being brave!

The anger of being unwilling to be manipulated by heaven and earth and then oppressed by others!

Instead of giving up on their southern expedition, the Oirat people became more determined and firmer in their fighting spirit!

The atrium is stepping up its efforts to make up for its losses and prepare for the next round of offensive.

  Xiting, which has been silent for a long time, is like a thousand-year-old turtle if it does not move. But when it moves, it extends its sharp claws to the important places in Zhongzhou with lightning speed!

The Dongting Army, which had been stuck in a stalemate in the northeast of Zhongzhou, suddenly seemed to be assisted by God. It defeated the Zhongzhou Army and captured three cities in a row and continued to move towards Youjing!

……

……

The Twelve Tiansha Sects, which had completely lost their place in Zhongzhou, played a vital role in the advancement of the Wala front on both the east and west ends.

With the permission of Xiao Yincai, Chu Hanxiong, the nominally real leader of the Twelve Tiansha Sects, regained the control and command of the personnel of the four wind, fire, thunder and lightning divisions, and led a thousand gang members and three thousand Wala light cavalry, drank the winter wind for thousands of miles, swallowed tens of thousands of acres of sand, stones and grass, and appeared in the northwest of Zhongzhou, at the interface of the wild plain and the endless Gobi.

The wild wilderness is not suitable for survival, and the endless Gobi Desert is a place where few living creatures can be found. The boundaries of the overlapping areas are very vague, but no one has ever bothered to distinguish them, because both the Oirat people and the Central Plains people dislike it very much, and it is a vacuum zone where both sides have completely given up on deploying their military forces.

However, this vacuum zone happened to be a shortcut for the Wala Xiting army to march south and east.

The people of Zhongzhou built a wall at the end of this shortcut, on the southern edge of the wilderness, believing that they were well-rested and no one would dare to attack easily.

However, history has repeatedly played out the same old stories of successful defense of a city or its destruction. The city walls collapsed and were rebuilt, and then collapsed again, even though they became thicker, higher, and longer.

The last time the city walls were breached by the army outside the city walls was twenty years ago.

  Not long after, a northern nomadic tribe closest to the city wall suffered a devastating disaster and was almost wiped out!

This nomadic tribe was obviously extraordinary as they were able to fight their way out of the pile of corpses and still live tenaciously in the world.

As time passed, the surviving members of this nomadic tribe never forgot the tragic experience of twenty years ago.

Even though the place where they originally lived has changed a lot, they still returned here.

They want to use their own bodies to block some of the killing and war for their selves twenty years ago.

A few months ago, a group of "wandering souls" from twenty years ago were wandering in this uninhabited land.

The Wala Xiting army, who believed in and were protected by the Eternal Heaven, acted as if they had seen real ghosts in front of this group of "wandering souls" and did not dare to cross the line even a single step.

No matter how noisy and chaotic the battles in other parts of Zhongzhou were, here there was only the whistling wind and the swirling sand.

  The dozen or so people from the Yuluo tribe were like another wall standing in front of the long wall of Zhongzhou, a "ghost wall" that no one could break through!

It was not until Chu Hanxiong arrived and joined forces with the Tongshamen soldiers who had fled to Genting Highlands and hibernated in the northern border before making a comeback that the peace was finally broken!

The wild plains and endless Gobi Desert are nothing compared to Lingxiao Ferry and a line of canyons.

No matter how strong and fierce the people of Ren Yuluo's tribe were, they were only a dozen or so people and could not defeat the majority.

After ten days of fighting against the Twelve Tiansha Gates and the Wala Army day and night, although the Yuluo tribe left thousands of dead bodies in the wild plains and endless Gobi Desert, five of them were seriously injured and had to switch to a roundabout guerrilla warfare.

In this way, the "ghost wall" no longer exists.

Afterwards, the city wall was like paper under the charge of 100,000 Wala Xiting troops and was once again destroyed and turned into historical dust.

The Wala army marched day and night to strike while the iron was hot and reached Yangguan before the Zhongzhou army could even react!

According to Luo Piaoling, behind the Yangguan Pass, one of the seven inches of Zhongzhou, is the Yangguan Avenue that leads directly to the heart of Zhongzhou.

Yangguan was in danger due to the lack of a good general to guard it.

If it weren't for the support from the Fantasy Moon Palace and the Qingtian Clan stationed at the foot of the Genting Highlands, and the disciples of the three major sects of Wudang, Emei and Shaolin, led by Xuan Xiao and Shui Rujing, who rushed to the rescue overnight, the consequences would have been disastrous.

……

……

The advance of the Oirat Xiting army was like a straight knife stabbing from the west. Although it had pierced the left shoulder of Zhongzhou, the northern border was vast and sparsely populated. As long as Yangguan was not broken, the threat of the Oirat people to Zhongzhou was still within controllable range.

  The sweep of the Wala Dongting Army was like a curved knife that scraped horizontally and cut diagonally. Even though it did not pierce as deep as the straight knife of the Xiting Army, it could still tear flesh and bones out of Zhongzhou's right shoulder, which was undoubtedly more painful!

The knives at the east and west ends both originated from Xiao Yincai's moves.

The only difference is that Xiao Yincai is personally in charge of the Dongting Army.

At first, after the young generals from the Chang and Tang families arrived, they took good control of the northeastern defense line.

The battle to defend the city has been proceeding in an orderly manner under the command of the two young marshals.

Everything went smoothly. Within a month, the northeastern defense line withstood twenty attacks of varying sizes by the Wala army.

The success of defending the city and the numerous victories made the two young marshals, despite their maturity, composure and experience, eventually become arrogant and conceited, and gradually became careless and made mistakes.

The Wala Dongting army seized the opportunity and took the capital city in five days with lightning speed. In the next five days, they captured two cities in a row and almost killed the two young marshals Chang and Tang in the third city.

Fortunately, Xie Fei and Long Duoduo had already led twenty chivalrous men to the northeastern front line. When the army was defeated, they managed to save nearly 10,000 remaining soldiers and escape.

However, Xie Fei also paid the price for this by being seriously injured, and at one point he fainted due to excessive blood loss.

When Long Duoduo was restrained by the four guardians of the Yinsha Sect, although Xie Fei was able to fight Xiao Yincai alone, he had no strength left to stop Xiao Yincai's sword - Yun Xiaobai!
