death

Chapter 587 First battle, disastrous defeat
Hearing what Zhang Rui said, I smiled and said, "You might as well not tell me about it. Telling half of it will make my heart itch to death."

Zhang Rui smiled and said: "I see that Daoyou Chen has not been concentrating recently, so I have to say something that allows you to concentrate on Daoyou Chen."

I said: "My senior sisters and senior brothers are here. It will be fine if they are here, as long as they are willing to work hard. You won't place your main hope on me, will you?"

Zhang Rui said: "Although they all belong to the same school as the Sanshengzun, you are the only one among them who has worshiped the Sanshengzun as a teacher. This is enough to show your future status in the spiritual world. I believe in the vision of the Sanshengzun." , so I am more willing to place all bets on you!"

What Zhang Rui said made me feel a little stressed.

And these words, he didn't tell anyone behind his back, so my senior sister and senior brothers also heard, but they all reacted normally, and they didn't have the slightest jealousy. I suddenly realized one thing, they every time Individuals have their own goals, and they don't care about anything other than their goals.

They all know what they want.

what do i want

What I did was to save Mai Xiaorou, and...

I took a few glances at Nangong Xiong, and she glanced at me and said, "Don't keep sneaking glances at me like a thief, if you want to see you, just look at it openly, and I don't want your money."

Hearing what Nangong Xiong said, everyone laughed, but I was a little embarrassed by the words, so I quickly summoned the thorn deer and flew into the air with everyone.

Flying into the air, Zhang Rui was wearing golden armor and a red cloak fluttering behind him. He drew out his long sword and pointed to the front: "Soldiers, take down Tianwu City, and we can go home. We Wuling clan can also go home." If we can completely get rid of the clutches of the Yaozu, we will be free!"

Zhang Rui's voice spread throughout the Qingyue Pass, and the momentum of the marching army was instantly high, and countless people raised their weapons high and shouted long live.

Especially seeing Zhang Rui standing on top of a thorny deer, the aura of the soldiers rose again.

The army was in order, the cavalry cleared the way, the infantry accompanied them, and the luggage was behind, everything was in order.

Although our marching speed was not fast, it took half a day for us to reach the Holy Witch City. The city wall of the Holy Witch City is [-] meters high, and there are many ballistas on the wall. Strong array, can play a variety of ballistas of Taoism.

Seeing those ballistas, Li Guidao smiled and said, "There are three types: Leihuo, Fenglei, and Frozen Crossbows. Among them, the Thunderbolt has the strongest attack power, and the Frozen Crossbow is mainly used for the speed of the Prophet's army."

Seeing the densely packed ballistas on the tall city wall, I couldn't help feeling a little worried.

Looking at Zhang Rui's side, there are very few ballistas in front, and most of the supplies are behind, so we must not be able to attack the city for a while.

Zhang Rui's subordinates also knew this very well, and directly asked the legion to set up camp within the range of the ballista attack, waiting for the luggage behind them to come.

Speaking of ballistas, I just realized that our city of innocent crimes doesn’t even have a single ballista. The equipment is really outdated. I helped Zhang Rui this time. When I return to the city of innocent crimes, I will definitely give it The garrison, and the two legions get some ballistas.

Just when our side started to set up camp, the gate to the east of Tianwu City was slowly opened, and then a group of cavalry rushed out from the gate. Those cavalry were all wearing golden armor and black cloaks. , hand held long.

They directly chose to charge!
Seeing this, Zhang Rui was also a little surprised and said: "My third brother never does anything he is not sure of, and it is a bit too small for more than a hundred people to attack our tens of thousands of pioneers. Since he wants to give I'm a badass, so I'll take it!"

After finishing speaking, Zhang Rui directly issued an order: "Zhang Hao, bring an avant-garde cavalry to fight!"

That Zhang Hao is a monk of the third level of heaven, and he is also the head of an elite army. Zhang Rui directly asked Zhang Hao to fight because the monk who came to charge the battle was also a strong of the third level of heaven. If he sent a monk who was too weak, It will definitely be wiped out in an instant.

You can't lose your momentum in the first battle.

After Zhang Hao took the order, he didn't slack off, and rushed out of the formation on our side with a thousand cavalry.

Seen from a high altitude, the two teams of cavalry collided quickly on the ground, as if two sharp spears were about to collide.

And when they were charging, whether it was the third-level celestial monk in Tianwu City or Zhang Hao on our side, they all charged in the center, while the cavalry behind them charged from far away on both sides .

They distanced themselves so that they would not be affected by the aftermath of the battle between the triple heavenly immortals.

And before the battle started, the two third-tier angels also arranged barriers beside them one after another, and the two barriers collided to form a complete barrier to cover the two of them.

This is the standard battle etiquette in the Upper Realm. The pioneers of both sides will first separate themselves from their subordinates.

Looking at it in the sky, my blood was boiling, because the general of Tianwu City who rushed to the front had already stood with Zhang Hao.

The general of Tianwu City directly stabbed Zhang Hao's chest with the spear in his hand, and the weapon Zhang Hao used was an epee. In terms of length, he suffered a disadvantage first, so he could only swing the sword to block it.

But when Zhang Hao swung his sword, the spear in the hand of the general of Tianwu City suddenly turned into a black snake, and then "swish" around a strange arc, biting towards Zhang Hao's neck.

Seeing this, Zhang Hao quickly cast his body, and swung the heavy sword with a strong fire to block it.

But at this moment, the two horses crossed each other, and the two had reached a parallel state. The general of Tianwu City directly slapped Zhang Hao's chest with his palm.

Zhang Hao quickly raised his palm to block it, and his palms collided!
"Oh!"

A wave of remaining power bounced off, Zhang Hao's figure suddenly became a little unstable, the black snake directly took the opportunity to circle a strange arc, biting directly on Zhang Hao's nose, and then the general of the Wuling tribe pulled that The tail of the black snake directly withdrew Zhang Hao from the horse.

"boom!"

Zhang Hao's body fell heavily on the ground, and the black snake had already spit out its toxin into Zhang Hao's body.

The general of Tianwu City pulled the black snake violently again, directly pulling Zhang Hao onto his horse, and then suddenly raised his right hand, a lifting motion directly lifted Zhang Hao over his head!
What's happening here?
The monks of the triple celestial beings fought, and our side was instantly killed?

Zhang Hao was captured alive, and the avant-garde team he brought out was in chaos in an instant, and was directly beaten by the hundreds of people who rushed into the battle in Tianwu City.

Zhang Rui was also shocked, and immediately said: "Save the formation!"

Qi Haitong, as Zhang Rui's only [-]th Heavenly Layer cultivator, also quickly entered the battle. That day, the generals of Wucheng saw that the momentum of the first battle had already been fought, and they didn't want to fight, so they directly told their subordinates to turn their heads and retreat.

The pair of cavalry came and went in a hurry. Although some people were killed in the collision just now, they did not leave a body of their own.

In contrast to Zhang Rui's army, a thousand cavalry were beheaded by those hundreds of people, and the horses and armor were scattered on the entire battlefield, which was very embarrassing.

The most embarrassing thing is that Zhang Hao, the third-level immortal, died in battle. When the Wucheng general was retreating that day, he directly threw Zhang Hao's body to Qi Haitong. As soon as Zhang Hao was picked up, that Zhang Hao died.

Seeing that the cavalry of Tianwu City had retreated to the defensive range of the ballistas, Qi Haitong, even a strong man of the fourth level of heaven, did not dare to face tens of thousands of Taoist ballistas rashly.

In the first battle, we suffered a big loss. Zhang Rui's aura that I used to sting the deer disappeared in an instant.

Zhang Rui also raised his eyebrows, obviously he was also very angry, but soon he controlled his emotions, and then ordered the army to be rectified and continue to set up camp.

At the same time, Zhang Rui also said: "Don't worry, everyone. Just now we were just running continuously, and our physical strength was a little weak. The other party found a gap. When we finish the rectification, Tianwu City must be in our pocket..."

Then Zhang Rui gave another long speech, and the momentum of the entire army gradually stabilized as the follow-up arrived and the luggage was slowly brought over.

But I never mentioned the excitement when the army set off.

I was also full of surprises for the general who rushed to the Tianwu City, but I also discovered something. The spear in his hand that can be transformed into a black snake is actually a monster of a third-level celestial being.

So on the surface, Zhang Hao fought one by one, but in fact, he was a strong man who dealt with two triple heavenly immortals by himself. He must have not expected that the Wucheng generals had weapons that day, and suffered a big loss for a while. That's why he died inexplicably.

If he knew the condition of the weapon, he definitely wouldn't be defeated so quickly.

But then again, that day Wucheng's future Black Snake's hidden magical powers were also powerful, so many good detectives on our side didn't discover it at the first time, so it's no wonder that Zhang Hao got the trick.

We lost a third-level celestial monk in less than half an hour after we arrived here, which is not good news for Zhang Rui.

Of course, it is also very bad for us, because the greater the disadvantage of Zhang Rui, the more effort we will have to contribute in the future.

It seems that it is really not an easy task to fight this Holy Witch City.

After arranging the military affairs, we followed Zhang Rui back to his military tent. Zhang Rui slapped the table angrily, probably because he was distressed by the death of a general who was a third-level celestial being.

None of Zhang Rui's subordinates dared to chew.

Soon Zhang Rui said: "We need a victory to boost morale. Who wants to call for it? Win back a victory for our army to boost morale."

No one under Zhang Rui stood up, so I frowned and said, "I'll try it!"

It's not that I want to be brave, but I feel that the sooner I go out, the weaker the opponent I may face, so I choose to go out first, I don't want to treat myself as the grand finale!
Zhang Rui was stunned for a moment, obviously he didn't want me to fight so early, so he said to me because there was no movement from his subordinates, "Then I will thank you, Fellow Daoist Chen!"

I cupped my hands and said, "It's easy to say!"
