People in the early Tang Dynasty: I compete with Wu Zhao for the throne

Chapter 447 Flame burns the city, the heart of a Bodhisattva

On the city wall, Fang Fengjin's face was ashen, and he held the long knife tightly in his hand, but he could only watch Li Xuan being protected by the shield, stepping back step by step.

Gritting his teeth tightly, the sentence "Exit Meiling Pass" was already on his lips, but he swallowed it back vigorously.

Although Fang Fengjin's intuition told him that Meiling Pass is a trap now, how can he retreat now?

"Kill, don't give them the opportunity to use the Urn City to kill people." Fang Fengjin's heart was hardened, and he rushed forward.

Zhang Wanyu followed beside him, staring at Li Xuan in front with vigilance.

Although Fang Fengjin didn't have Zhang Wanyu's own guess, Zhang Wanyu could also see it.

The King of Nanchang is famous for his insidiousness and cunning. He is willing to retreat so easily, which shows that the trap in front of him has already been prepared.

At this moment, as if sensing Zhang Wanyu's gaze, Li Xuan turned her head and looked directly at Zhang Wanyu.

There was a hint of sarcasm in Li Xuan's eyes, as if to say: That's right, it's a trap, this is a trap, don't come here if you have the ability!
Seeing Zhang Wanyu's fists clenched, Li Xuan smiled coldly.

While stepping back quickly, Li Xuan's eyes fell on the urn below the city.

At this moment, countless figures are retreating rapidly, including the soldiers who were manipulating the catapult and the archers on the well, all of them are retreating at this moment.

On the city wall, under the protection of countless shield formations, Li Xuan was also retreating.

On the back of the female wall not far away, countless Tianyin believers had already killed them, and under the leadership of Fang Fengjin, they rushed towards Li Xuan frantically.

But it's a pity that the walls of Wengcheng are narrow and can't accommodate too many people. Under the rain of arrows, they couldn't move forward a few steps at a time.

Although Li Xuan was retreating, he retreated very steadily. Half of the archers on the city wall were preventing Fang Fengjin and the others from approaching, while the other half were frantically hunting down all the Tianyin believers in the city.

In this extremely short period of time, the number of deaths and injuries among Tianyin believers increased rapidly.

But at this moment, Li Xuan's main attention was no longer here. Although he was still looking at Zhang Wanyu and Fang Fengjin, his ears had already been pricked up, listening carefully to the voice from the southeast.

The wind is getting stronger.

Hurrah!

……

Blood flowed all over the place, but both the urn city and the city walls were quickly occupied by the Tianyin Sect.

They returned to Meiling Pass again.

More people rushed out of the Wengcheng, their eyes were full of red.

The spacious street appeared in front of me, and the south gate of Meiling Pass was one mile away.

After killing the south gate, it is Wuzhou Tiandi.

As long as they get out of Wuzhou, the plight of these people will be solved immediately.

The most important thing is that there is not a single officer and soldier from the imperial court on the whole street.

At this time, on the city wall, Fang Fengjin's voice sounded: "Make the team, everyone immediately form the team!"

Looking at the empty street in front of him, Fang Fengjin's heart trembled, but he couldn't tell people to retreat, he could only shout for order.

Fang Fengjin had great prestige in the Tianyin Sect. As soon as he gave an order, the people in front immediately formed a team, but the next moment, the formed formation immediately became chaotic.

More and more people poured in from behind, directly breaking up the queue in front.

Fang Fengjin turned around subconsciously, and suddenly saw more congregants rushing into Meiling Pass crazily.

They want to rush into every corner of Meiling Pass, where is the thought of slowly forming a team.

The people in front couldn't help themselves at all, and they were immediately rushed to pieces.

Even Fang Fengjin in the city was shouting with all his strength, but it still didn't work.

At this moment, Zhang Wanyu's voice sounded: "Everyone, immediately go out of the south gate and hunt down the King of Nanchang."

"Get out of the south gate and hunt down the king of Nanchang!" I don't know how many people shouted, rushing towards the south gate.

Fang Fengjin glanced at Zhang Wanyu, and was about to say something when suddenly he turned his head and looked to the southeast.

A stronger gust of wind suddenly came from the southeast.

In a certain courtyard in the corner of Southeast Gate City, a gleam of fire suddenly flashed.

Fang Fengjin's heart suddenly sank. At this moment, he knew that it was too late.

Fang Fengjin suddenly turned his head to look at Zhang Wanyu: "Wanyu, do you still remember that my brother once asked you whether the king of Nanchang is proficient in the art of commanding wind and rain?"

Zhang Wanyu was slightly taken aback, and then said: "That's right, about this matter, Wanyu has also consulted the Holy Maiden before, calling the wind and calling the rain, there are few people in the world who can do it, and the few people who can do it definitely don't include Nanchang king."

"No, Wanyu, you are wrong, he can do it." Fang Fengjin interrupted Zhang Wanyu suddenly, and then pointed directly to the southeast.

A raging fire was already burning there, and it was rushing towards them at an extremely fast speed.

The fire was getting bigger and bigger, and the wind was getting bigger and bigger.

Zhang Wanyu suddenly felt cold hands and feet.

She hadn't forgotten that at this moment, almost all the Tianyin sects were rushing into Meiling Pass crazily. If they were one step late, they would all be buried in the sea of ​​flames.

"Close the city gate, close the city gate quickly!" Zhang Wanyu suddenly thought of something, and suddenly screamed loudly. Then, when she saw Fang Fengjin's cold gaze, she was taken aback for a moment. She forgot that they opened the door before. At the time of Meiling Pass, a highly corrosive green vitriol solution was used.

There is only one huge hole in the current city gate, which cannot be closed at all.

With a "squeak", right in front, the south gate of Meiling Pass, which was tightly closed, was directly opened. In an instant, the people who had just rushed to the city gate rushed out towards the south gate.

However, at this time, most people did not notice any flames igniting.

Once discovered by them, they will run faster, and more people will rush in behind them.

"Why, isn't he afraid that we really run away?" Zhang Wanyu's face was full of astonishment.

"Perhaps, what he is afraid of is not that we will run away, but that we will not be able to run away." Fang Fengjin's face completely sank at some point.

He looked up at the rising flames in the distance, and under the urging of the wind, he rushed towards the main street faster and faster.

Gritting his teeth, Fang Fengjin grabbed Zhang Wanyu and said with a cold expression: "Go, go quickly!"

"Go? Why go? Go out from the south gate and kill the King of Nanchang. Even if we lose, we must win." Zhang Wanyu also looked at Fang Fengjin with a cold face.

"Because he is waiting for us!" After Fang Fengjin finished speaking, he immediately turned and headed towards the north gate.

Behind him, a loud voice suddenly sounded: "Fire, there is fire."

The sudden sound made Zhang Wanyu shudder suddenly. The next moment, she looked at the panicked crowd and immediately shouted: "South gate, hurry out of the south gate, people at the north gate, hurry up and retreat."

While shouting loudly, Zhang Wanyu quickly walked towards the north gate.

Fang Fengjin had made it very clear just now that the King of Nanchang was outside the south gate at the moment, and he was waiting for them.

Once the flames in the city were ignited, the support of the Tianyin priests would be cut off immediately. Even if they rushed out by then, they would face countless traps that had been prepared long ago.

But this is also stronger than being directly burned to death by the flames.

Zhang Wanyu quickly ran to the city gate, and then saw a huge catapult being thrown from the city gate by Fang Fengjin.

"Ah!" Immediately there were wailings from under the city wall.

However, Zhang Wanyu also heaved a sigh of relief after seeing this scene, but soon after, more wailing sounds came from behind.

She turned her head subconsciously, and saw that the fierce flames had been burning rapidly in the middle street.

The violent flames even rushed to the other side.

The entire Meiling Pass has already started to burn blazingly.

Even if she is standing on the city wall now, she can feel a scorching heat coming from the front.

"What shall we do next?" Zhang Wanyu turned her head and looked at Fang Fengjin, her voice had subconsciously deepened.

"Withdraw, lead everyone back to the camp." Fang Fengjin's face was also not good-looking, but his face was extremely firm.

"Withdraw, we are about to take down here, what are you doing?" Zhang Wanyu blurted out a sentence.

Fang Fengjin took a deep look at him: "What are we going to do if we don't withdraw? Could it be that we can't do anything while others watch our own brothers and sisters being engulfed in the fire?"

Zhang Wanyu couldn't help but pause, and turned around.

The long street was full of Tianyin believers under the flames, panicked and helpless with nowhere to escape.

……

With a sound of "嗖", a row of crossbow arrows was inserted straight into the ground in front of the city gate.

The Tianyin believers who had just rushed out from the city gate stopped immediately.

In front of them, there were more than 50 crossbows in five rows. Behind the crossbows, there were more officers and soldiers holding crossbows.

But what really caught their attention was the team of Thousand Bull Guards in red and gold armor.

In front of Qianniuwei is Li Xuan in black clothes and armor.

They have seen this outfit countless times on the city wall before.

"Peel, peel!" The sound of air bursting came from behind, and the Tianyin believers under the city gate suddenly felt a burst of heat rushing towards their faces. Behind them, more people were rushing out frantically.

But because of the obstruction of the people in front, they could only retreat to both sides.

"Those who lie on the ground will live, and those who stand will die!" Li Xuan's cold voice rang in the ears of all Tianyin believers.

"Kill!" A leader of the Tianyin Sect in chain mail raised his knife angrily, but...

With a sound of "whoosh", a long arrow shot from the front, then pierced fiercely into his chest, and then directly nailed him to the ground.

Li Xuan, who was on a tall horse, looked coldly at everyone in front of him, and slowly raised his right hand: "My king counts three words, and I will still be standing when the time comes, so I will kill you immediately! Three, two, one..."

With a bang, almost all the Tianyin believers fell down in an instant. Even if there were a few who didn't get down, they all just escaped from the city. , also quickly got down on the ground.

Li Xuan looked towards the center of the city gate. At this time, although there were still many people rushing out, almost all of them were on fire.

At this moment, a bucket of cold water was poured directly on the city gate, directly extinguishing all the flames on the burning person.

"The prince and Bodhisattva have a heart." Qiu Zhenmu, Zhou Shen, Xu Jian, and Yan Tao saluted Li Xuan respectfully.

"Okay, those who should have escaped have all escaped. They shouldn't have escaped, and they have not escaped. Tell everyone, wait for two hours, and then rush down the mountain road to wipe out all the rebels in one fell swoop."

Li Xuan's fists were clenched at some point, and the killing intent in his eyes was clearly visible.
