book of troubled times

Chapter 521 No luck
Puyang.

"Boom!" The stones hit the city wall, the city bricks shattered and splashed, and the surrounding soldiers quickly dispersed into a mess.

The stone rolled, and it was about to be crushed on a soldier. The purple energy around him surged wildly, and a palm slapped on the stone, blasting the stone into pieces.

The soldier was shocked, and saluted to thank him: "Thank you, Young General."

Cui Yuanyong waved his hand and shouted: "Let go!"

"Swish, swish, swish!" Countless boulders fell inside the city and outside the city. There were several loud "clang" sounds, and the approaching rush car was smashed to pieces.

Some of them were hit incorrectly and fell on the soldiers, smashing them into pulp.

There are still countless soldiers swarming in, all kinds of siege equipment desperately pushing down the city.

Standing at the top of the city, one can see arrows flying like locusts and boulders falling in the sky, and thousands of horses and troops coming from below like a tide.Cui Yuanyong felt very detached, and his heart was as calm as if this was not the battlefield he was in, but overlooking it from a high altitude.

It's not like in Yanmen back then, where I didn't give myself a chance to be hot-blooded.Now he is the chief general, in charge of all defense commands, and needs to be absolutely calm. Any wrong choice may lead to unacceptable results.

As early as the decisive battle in Kuaiji in the south, Wang Zhaoling intended to go south. After Cui Yuanyong's troops pressed Puyang to put pressure on the Wang family, he never went back.My father didn't take any chances. He knew that once the Wang family rebelled, this would be the first pass on the Western Front. Therefore, he continued to increase troops and manage the city's defense. The defense here was almost the strongest in the civil war.

Cui Yuanyong once thought that Puyang was so difficult to chew, and the Wang family would probably not choose this route, but it turned out that the father's prediction was the most correct.The nature of the Wang family is meaningless to attack the south. Taking advantage of the fact that the Cao Gang in the south is acting as a monster, the Tang family can't interfere with the affairs of the north for the time being.

The capital is in the north. If the Wang family wants to go to the capital, the first thing they have to pass is the Cui family.King Cui's marriage originally had some meaning in this regard. If the two parties joined forces, they could basically march to the capital directly.

But now Cui Wenjing doesn't talk about confluence, and even a family that "pretends to resist but actually gives way to the Wang family to sneak past" is not doing basic exercises, showing the full resistance of chariots and horses.Inside the Cui family, there were also some criticisms, thinking that it was inappropriate for Cui Wenjing to do so so that the Cui family would have no way out.

But no one can say anything. Cui Wenjing's determination in this matter surprised even his own wife. She didn't feel like Cui Wenjing at all.

Cui Yuanyong remembered what he had asked his father before: "Father said that in the world of gods and demons, there are also families of gods and demons. Even if gods and demons rule the world, it is essentially the same as when barbarians enter the country. Why are you so determined this time? Proper Daxia Zhongliang..."

My father's answer was: "When a barbarian enters the customs, you will shave your hair and change your clothes and customs. The Cui family is still there. Even other gods and demons. As long as He needs to survive in this world, you and I are valuable. Only the sea The family is different...because they live in the sea and don't need land. My father really doesn't know what their specific purpose is, as long as he knows that their living conditions are different from ours, he knows that he can't take any chances."

After finishing speaking, he repeatedly emphasized: "You can't take any chances."

Cui Yuanyong took a deep breath, raised his sword high, and loudly ordered: "Get ready to roll the stone!"

"Boom!" The chariot rushed straight to the city gate, braving rocks and arrows.

The huge boulder rolled down, smashing people and cars to pieces.

Cui Yuanyong looked up at the sky, but it was still difficult to concentrate on the battlefield. I believe Wang Zhaoling under the city was the same... because the result of this battle is not so much determined by the command of the battlefield, but the outcome of the battle of Tianbang.

In the first battle, Wang Daoning must have personally recruited, in order to make a big splash.If he was beaten back in the first battle, it would be a big joke in the world, he is bound to win.No matter how well the city defense is done, it is impossible to stop the Tianbang from ascending first, breaking the gap is like playing.

But Wang Daoning has not shown up so far, there is no other reason, the only possibility is that his father also came.

…………

On the banks of the Pu River, Wang Daoning and Cui Wenjing stood side by side facing the river, as if old friends who had not reunited for a long time were looking at the scenery.

The two of them didn't speak for half an hour.

The sound of shouting and killing came faintly from a distance, which inexplicably set off the sound of the water in front of me with a sense of tranquility.

"The dead are like husbands, never giving up day and night." Wang Daoning looked at the water flow, and finally said softly: "How many years have you and I known each other?"

Cui Wenjing said: "When I was sixteen, I left home to study. I met you in Pushui, and we had a fight... It's been 30 years now."

The so-called "Old Cui" is actually 46.

"It's Pushui again today, um, although the section of the river is different." Wang Daoning said with a "ha" smile: "Sometimes when I think about it, it seems like God's will."

Cui Wenjing said lightly: "You don't have to come, what you do is God's will."

Wang Daoning shook his head: "A few years ago when I was a guest in Qinghe, your attitude was not like this. Although you have always been inclined towards Xia Longyuan, you still scolded Xia Longyuan for doing many things that were inappropriate. He laid his hands down, scolded this guy and continued to pervert, sooner or later, Daxia will be overthrown... This is what you said. The words and conversations in the past are vivid in my memory, but your choice today makes me very puzzled."

Cui Wenjing said: "When you attack the Yang family's Lianshan sword, you and I are doomed to cut off seats. This is the bottom line, you are shaking the basis of the tacit understanding between the various families. No matter how bad Xia Longyuan is, he also left the bottom line there."

"Just because of this?"

"That's why."

"What if I promise you?"

"I'm sorry, I don't believe it." Cui Wenjing said lightly: "I'm not even sure, the Wang Daoning who is talking to me now, how much is the real Wang Daoning, and how much is someone else."

Wang Daoning smiled: "No one can control me."

Cui Wenjing said: "Shi Wuding also thinks so."

People in Tianbang, as long as they have seen Shi Wuding, they will know that his soul is different.Cui Wenjing knew it, and so did Wang Daoning.

Wang Daoning said: "Do you think I am in an uncertain situation?"

Cui Wenjing glanced at him: "I don't know, but I don't take chances. If there is one thing that makes you not you, then I don't think I can see it. The triple secret is far from the end, you and I know it. "

"Since you have completely lost trust in me, there is really no way to talk."

"There's no need to talk about it."

"But you are not my opponent, Wen Jing, you and I have always been equal, but my Zhenhai sword has recovered, and your Qinghe sword is still half dead."

Cui Wenjing smiled: "Perhaps. But you are not sure that you will not be injured, so you are trying to make a final persuasion."

Wang Daoning said slowly, "But you will die."

Cui Wenjing's smile became even brighter: "If I die and you come back seriously injured, then the outcome will depend on Yuan Yong and Zhao Ling... After you and I sing, it will be time for them to appear in this world."

There was a little pride in Cui Wenjing's smile that made Wang Daoning feel helpless.

If the older generation withdraws from the world stage, and the young people all over the world come on stage, then a character who makes the peers breathless will immediately flash through everyone's minds - the Book of Chaos just said, I will kill a hundred flowers after they bloom.

This person is Lao Cui's son-in-law, although he is not married yet.

But it has to be said that Cui Wenjing's determination inevitably touched Wang Daoning's heart.

After 30 years of acquaintance, it was the first time I saw this old fox being so decisive. "No luck", the future of the family is better than his life.

When such a person becomes a roadblock, it can really give anyone a headache.

Wang Daoning finally gave up his persuasion and slowly drew out the Zhenhai sword: "Brother Cui, then let you and I finish the unfinished battle 30 years ago."

The Qinghe Sword unsheathed automatically, and circled around Cui Wenjing: "Please."

"Boom!" There was a sudden thunder in the sky, and the torrential rain poured down.

On the battlefield, Wang Zhaoling had to suspend the siege, so he couldn't ascend the city.

But today's sky is clearly not going to rain, there is no other reason for the sudden rainstorm, it can only be the battle of the Tianbang, which touches the sky.

The Paitian Zhenhai of the Wang family, and the Ziqi Qinghe of the Cui family are all related to water, and if they oppose each other, there will be heavy rain.

Above and below the city, Cui Yuanyong and Wang Zhaoling looked across the battlefield, and their hearts were both aroused at the same time.

A hundred miles away to the south, the sky was clear and crisp. Three thousand Blood God cultists were galloping across the plains. Looking at the dark clouds in the distance, they were all horrified: "Why is there rain in this weather?"

Zhao Changhe took the lead and left the team like crazy: "You are preparing to attack the Wang family's flanks. Old Xue has full command, don't worry about me!"

"Boom!" Huge lightning flashed across the sky, illuminating the entire wilderness in a vast expanse of whiteness.The clouds turned into purple air, and it was hard to tell whether it was lightning or sword light.
