Chapter 617: Fighting with Lu Shengchu, Strange

Above the east gate of Luonan, the sound of war drums rang out. The armored imperial guards raised their drumsticks high and beat the drums hard. The deep sound of the drums echoed throughout the battlefield.

Outside the city wall, the horns of Chen's army charging and attacking the city sounded continuously. The flag bearers of each camp waved colorful flags in their hands and directed the troops to attack the city in an orderly manner.

Wu Yanqing was wearing the same armor as an ordinary Vanguard soldier, riding a warhorse, and commanding the central army.

At this moment, the rear army made way for a path, and Chen Mo, wearing Ming Guang armor and riding a white Snow Dragon Horse, came from the direction of the north gate, followed closely by Xia Zhining, Nalan Yiren and thousands of other personal soldiers.

Coming in front of Wu Yanqing, looking at the high-spirited Chen army soldiers shouting and attacking the city, Chen Mo said, "General Wu, where is Lu Sheng?"

"Under the city tower." Wu Yanqing pointed to the city wall of the east gate.

The position of Chen’s central army was more than a thousand steps away from the city wall. It was drizzling and the weather was gloomy.

But as a top-grade warrior, Chen Mo could still see it relatively clearly, especially the red number, which was extremely eye-catching.

3989+99.

Chen Mo immediately raised his eyebrows.

This power value is obviously a symbol of the second level of divine transformation.

And the “+99” at the end shows that the opponent’s martial arts attainments are also quite high.

Chen Mo picked up the telescope and looked carefully.

Lu Sheng was not wearing armor, but a simple casual suit, with golden wrist guards on both hands, a jade belt, and satin leggings. He was dressed in a luxurious manner, holding a Fang Tian Hua Ji that was several feet long, and he killed the soldiers of the Chen army who climbed up the city wall like a god of war cutting vegetables.

Lu Sheng had a handsome face. He had killed so many people, but there was not a trace of blood on his face.

Chen Mo put down the telescope, frowned, and said to Wu Yanqing: "Strange."

"What's wrong?" Wu Yanqing asked in confusion, "Now that Lu Sheng has shown up, it seems that our siege plan has worked. What's so strange about that?"

"It's very strange. Since Lu Sheng showed up at the East Gate, it means he wants to defend the city. But if that's the case, why send so many people to guard Jushan Pass and why not send a decent general?"

To be honest, when Chen Mo saw the deployment at Jushan Pass before, he guessed in his heart that these people were just trying to delay time so as to cover Lu Sheng and the emperor and others' escape from Luonan.

But now it seems that he guessed wrong.

But because of this, he found it even more strange.

Since we have to defend, it would be better to concentrate our strength in one place.

Why divide the power?
Of course, although Chen Mo felt strange, he was not the worm in Lu Sheng's stomach after all, so he had no way of knowing what Lu Sheng was up to.

But now, we obviously can't just sit back and watch Lu Sheng go on killing like this.

Chen Mo took off the strong bow on his back, held the bow in his hand and rode forward.

When you come into the locking range of the Sun-Shooting Arrow.

Chen Mo bent his bow and aimed at Lu Sheng on the east gate wall.

Nalan Yiren cast her gaze over, then rode forward, came behind Chen Mo, and stared at him intently.

During this period of time, she had heard the soldiers in the Chen army talk about how Chen Mo shot to death the top-grade warriors Luo Qingyang and Gongsun Yan, and shot down Liang Mu, the patriarch of the Liang family, with one arrow each at Songjiapo in Huaizhou.

It is said that what the ears hear is false and what the eyes see is true.

No matter how true what she heard was, Nalan Yiren still had some doubts in her heart.

After all, they are all third-rank warriors.

I can't say that the two sides will fight back and forth, but at least they can fight for a while.

Killing with one arrow was too "hasty".

What a huge difference in strength there is.

Well, Chen Mo did not reveal his true strength to Nalan Yiren, so Nalan Yiren thought that Chen Mo was the third-grade one as rumored by the outside world.

Of course, even if Chen Mo said it, Nalan Yiren didn't dare to believe it.

A twenty-three-year-old warrior at the Divine Transformation Realm?
Can this be a human? It must be a monster.

"Pop."

The bowstring was fully drawn and the bow made a slight popping sound. As Chen Mo's strength increased, the strong bow given by Wu Yanqing in his hand was no longer suitable for him.

Chen Mo knew that he had enough strength. If he pulled any further, the bow would probably break.

Chen Mo loosened his fingers, and the arrow with a fully drawn string shot out with a crisp bang. If you look closely, you will see that wherever the arrow passed, the raindrops the size of green beans all shattered into pieces, and were carried to the city wall by the energy rolled up by the arrow.

As a warrior at the Divine Transformation Realm, Lu Sheng naturally had his eyes and ears open. The moment the explosion sounded, he immediately looked in the direction of the sound and sensed danger.

The arrow was so fast that by the time he noticed it, it was already impossible to avoid it.

He simply raised the Fang Tian Hua Ji in his hand, and the innate spiritual energy around his body gathered together. Then, he magically stuck to the incoming arrow with the tip of the halberd. He swung the Fang Tian Hua Ji in his hand to the side, and actually directly deflected the arrow that condensed the power to split a mountain, and flew straight into the air.

However, the power carried by the arrow was also extremely shocking. Even though he cleverly used the method of transforming energy to release the force, the huge force still caused him to fall to one side, and the Fang Tian Hua Ji in his hand also flew out of his hand.

Just as he had steadied his body and was about to absorb the Fang Tian Hua Ji that had fallen to the ground, he suddenly felt something. Looking up, he saw that the arrow that he had just brought to the sky turned around and shot towards him again.

Lu Sheng was shocked. Although he could also shoot curved arrows, the arrow in this shot was not a curve at all. It was clearly a tracking arrow.

He reacted quickly, drew the sword at his waist, raised the arrow to block it, and the innate spiritual energy in his body also gathered on the sword.

"Chong"

With a crisp sound, the sword body bent slightly. After the arrow left a white mark on the sword body, it was bounced out and fell to the ground, unable to move.

The first arrow had most of its power taken away by Lu Sheng, and after being blocked the second time, the remaining power was also exhausted, and it could no longer pose a threat to Lu Sheng.

But before Lu Sheng could catch his breath, his ears pricked up, sensing danger again, he stomped his feet hard and leaped.

An arrow with sparks flew past, almost brushing past his boots.

It turned out that when Lu Sheng used the tip of his halberd to deflect the arrow, Chen Mo knew that this arrow could no longer pose a threat to Lu Sheng, so he immediately shot the second arrow.

The second arrow flew less than a foot from under Lu Sheng's feet, then flew upwards and shot towards Lu Sheng's crotch.

Lu Sheng suddenly felt a chill in his body, and while still suspended in the air, he immediately swung down with the sword in his hand.

"when!"

The long sword hit the arrow head, and a few sparks flew.

Lu Sheng suddenly felt his wrist go numb, and then he was blown away. The arrow lost its power and fell on the city wall.

Before Lu Sheng, who was blown away, landed on the ground, golden light lingered around him. A golden giant, several feet tall and holding a Fang Tian Huaji, floated in the air behind Lu Sheng.

The golden giant swung the Fang Tian Hua Ji in his hand quickly, and after two "clang" sounds, it blocked the two flying arrows. Lu Sheng took the opportunity to fall into the palm of the golden giant's other hand.

It turned out that just now, Chen Mo shot two arrows in succession.

"He has opened up his magical powers. It seems to be the aura of a tyrant, just like the innate spiritual energy, it is also of the same domineering kind." The gloomy look in Nalan Yiren's eyes was replaced by surprise.

Chen Mo was riding on a horse hundreds of steps outside the city. He shot a few arrows and brought out Lu Sheng's magical powers. It was shocking.

Unfortunately, they were too far away, and Nalan Yiren could not clearly feel the aura from Lu Sheng.

Chen Mo raised his eyebrows. At this moment, the red number on Lu Sheng’s forehead turned into 4279+139. But it must be said that Lu Sheng was very handsome at this moment.

That huge golden giant was exactly the embodiment of the "Law of Heaven and Earth" that he had seen in novels in his previous life.

The soldiers on both sides were stunned at this moment.

Then the morale of the imperial guards on the city wall was greatly boosted and they shouted "mighty".

Lu Sheng's behavior is indeed encouraging.

Seeing this, Chen Mo put down his bow without hesitation, drew his Tang sword from his waist, and galloped forward on his horse. Although he hadn't figured out what Lu Sheng was plotting, he couldn't just stand there outside the city forever.

As long as Lu Sheng is killed, the conspiracy will naturally fall apart.

"Charge." Wu Yanqing shouted behind him.

"woooooo"

Outside the East Gate of the city, the sound of Chen Jun’s trumpets became louder and louder.

On the city wall, Lu Sheng had already retracted his magical powers and hid himself, not showing up.

His expression was grim and his eyes were full of astonishment.

With those few arrows just now, Lu Sheng will be able to get it out.

The person shooting the arrow must be of the second rank.

Just now he saw that the person shooting the arrow was a young man.

He guessed that person should be Chen Mo.

Twenty-three years old, at the second level of divine transformation.

How horrifying this is.

What’s even more terrifying is that Chen Mo has the upper hand over him.

Those few arrows just now almost made him fail.

You know, although he secretly broke through to the Divine Transformation Realm after the failure of Prince Huai, the time he spent in the Divine Transformation Realm was definitely longer than that of Chen Mo.

Logically speaking, with more time, he should be more powerful than Chen Mo.

What kind of monster is Chen Mo?

Is it possible that the purple energy of the sun is so much stronger than the energy of the overlord?
When Chen Mo killed Liang Xuan, Lu Sheng knew what Chen Mo's innate spiritual energy was.

Lu Sheng still felt a little aggrieved.

You know, he is only in his early forties and is already a second-grade warrior. His talent can be said to be outstanding, but compared with Chen Mo, he is simply a joke.

"Fortunately, there were no unexpected events in the plan."

Lu Sheng stuck his head out and took a look, and saw the young man leading the way forward.

He commanded the defenders to start a strict defense.

He kept guarding until the East Gate was breached and Chen Mo came into the city to find him, and then Lu Sheng escaped.

Because when Chen Mo found him, Lu Sheng had already run away, and it was obviously impossible to catch up with him at this time.

"Just ran away like that." Chen Mo looked at Lu Sheng's fleeing back, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

You were defending the east gate just now, but now that the city has been breached, you're running away?
Why don't you confront yourself head on?

At this time, the personal soldiers below came to report.

The four gates of south, west and north were also breached. Yue Ruyan, Sun Meng, Jiang Li and others asked Chen Mo whether they wanted to attack in.

Previously, Chen Mo followed the advice of Diwu Fusheng and ordered the entire army to be cautious when entering the city.

Therefore, although the city gates have been breached, Chen’s army did not enter the city in its entirety.

This also reflects the strict military discipline of Chen Jun.

You know, other armies, seeing that a city has been broken, especially a prosperous city like the capital, would definitely want to enter the city to plunder something. But Chen's army actually restrained themselves in the face of such temptation, which was really not easy.

At this time, Chen Mo was also in great trouble.

Do you want to push it in?

The reason why Chen Mo was so hesitant was mainly because Lu Sheng's performance made him feel too weird.

But if they didn't push forward, all four city gates would be breached. If they didn't go in, wouldn't it be a vain siege? With so many casualties, Chen Mo wouldn't be able to explain.

After all, if you don't push forward, you have to give a reason to convince the people below.

But Chen Mo just felt it was weird but couldn't find an exact reason.

"Pass on my order, have General Yue, General Sun, and General Jiang each send a small team to go in and investigate first, and the main army will follow slowly behind them, and leave no less than three thousand soldiers to guard the city gate and cover the rear." Chen Mo felt that this was cautious enough.

"promise."

The sky was getting darker and darker. The drizzle had become heavier. Dark clouds were hanging overhead, and the city of Luonan was extremely depressing.

The sound of neat and sharp footsteps stepped on the bluestone street.

Chen Jun's vanguard team advanced towards the city.

The shield soldiers were in front, the spear soldiers were behind, and the archers and crossbowmen were holding bows and crossbows, looking around vigilantly.

Shortly after the vanguard team entered, the main force of Chen Jun also came in, so that if the vanguard team was ambushed, they could also be taken care of.

The sounds of footsteps and horse hooves startled the people who were hiding in their homes and dared not come out. The people around them who had closed their doors and windows, at this moment, opened the windows and peeked out through the cracks.

The imperial guards and the Xiliang army fled, disarming themselves.

Not long after, they saw Chen Jun again.

Their expressions changed: "Duke Anguo broke in?!"

At this time, all the Chen troops who entered the city shouted: "Punish the traitors and clear the court!"

"Punish the treacherous and evil, and clear the emperor's side!"

"Punish the treacherous and evil, and clear the emperor's side!"

The sound shook Luonan. The shouting was so loud that everyone seemed to be shouting for their lives. The overwhelming sound seemed to overturn the entire Luonan city.

There was excitement and excitement on their faces.

Unexpectedly, they would have the opportunity to come to the capital in this life and even fight their way in.

At the same time, they also had a vague guess in their hearts that after this battle, Duke Anguo would be in great power.

And they can live a good life.

It can be said that Chen Jun’s morale has reached a peak now.

The Chen army that defeated the Jinxia barbarians in the Northern Expedition did not have as high morale as the Chen army that has now entered the capital.

……

The news soon reached the palace.

Emperor Yong'an looked pale and his body couldn't help shaking.

He could no longer stand up, his whole body leaning limply on the dragon bed, his legs shaking like thin bamboos swaying in the wind, as if he could never stop.

The Queen Mother's palace.

Liang Ji also got the news first.

The palace maids who came to report were all huddled together, shaking like sieves. Not only them, but the entire harem was in panic.

Liang Ji was stunned for a long while, then burst into laughter, but her laughter was a little tearful. She said softly with her red lips: "Come here, I need to take a bath and change clothes."
