Pin Shanhe

Chapter 175 Laying a Net

"Heh, so what if you're skilled in martial arts? You don't think you can turn the tide with just a few of you, do you?"

Since they have decided to do this, they will definitely make thorough preparations.

First, they bribed several evil sects in the martial arts world and some vicious bandits to create unrest on the outskirts of the capital.

They burned, killed, looted, and committed all sorts of atrocities.

The imperial court could only send the city's defense forces to quell the unrest.

This would leave the capital city undefended.

Before they arrived in Yongdu, apart from the three hundred guards who were allowed to stay behind, the rest were stationed in a camp a hundred miles away.

They each sent 10,000 elite soldiers, disguised as civilians, to the capital.

These days, he has been hiding in the capital, gathering intelligence and waiting for an opportunity to act.

Why did they choose to take action on their wedding day?

Because on this day, the people would crowd the streets to watch the excitement, and the elite soldiers would be hidden among them, making it difficult for them to be noticed.

Upon hearing the signal for the operation, they would immediately take action, coordinating with spies within the palace to seize control of the area as quickly as possible.

Now, not only the palace, but the entire capital city is under their control.

So what if Xuanwang is the God of War of Dayong?

He was only one person, and two fists can't fight against four hands!

The last time Jun Qiyuan kidnapped Yun Dai at the Fourth Prince's residence, the Xuan King and the Second Prince came to rescue her.

Jun Jingyan launched a frontal attack, while Xiao Xuanjin infiltrated the palace and found a secret passage, where he ran into Murong Xiao, who was trying to escape.

Finally, Murong Xiao escaped under the cover of smoke bombs.

However, when he fought against the Xuan King, he found that the opponent's palm wind was not as strong as before.

In the past, he would not have been able to withstand a single blow from the opponent, let alone have had the chance to escape under the opponent's nose.

This can only mean one thing—he was injured!

If that's the case, then what is there to be afraid of?

Not to mention that he was injured and his skills were no longer what they used to be.

Even at the height of his power, he could not escape the "net of heaven and earth" he and the Queen of the Western Regions had laid together.

Thinking of this, Murong Xiao suddenly felt more confident.

But the other party gave a cold laugh: "Is that so?"

Those two words again!

It was brief, yet incredibly powerful.

Just like every previous encounter on the battlefield, even if he used all his skills, he would still suffer a crushing defeat at the hands of the other party, shattering his proud confidence.

"Since Zhou Yu was born, why was Zhuge Liang born as well?"

But this time the situation is completely different.

He's destined to be the one who laughs last!

He clapped his hands, and suddenly a large number of archers appeared on the city wall.

Close combat is obviously out of the question when dealing with experts like them.

Then the only thing we can give away is "A Thousand Arrows Piercing the Heart"!

A dense swarm of arrows aimed at them, poised to strike.

Just as they were about to give the order, a deafening explosion was heard all around them.

A deafening explosion erupted where the archer was standing, the force of which was so great that the archer was blasted into the air.

Murong Xiao looked shocked.

How could this happen?

There were explosives hidden beneath the city walls!

Although their location was unharmed, they were inevitably affected; cracks appeared in the surrounding city walls, which began to crumble.

Seeing that the situation was not good, He Lanyi quickly ordered a retreat.

Murong Xiao watched her hurried departure, his heart filled with contempt and disdain.

So what if she's an empress? In the end, she's just a useless woman!

They only lost a wave of archers; they still have 20,000 troops!

With victory clearly within their grasp, how could they possibly leave at this crucial moment?

"Men, surround them! Whoever can take the Xuan King's head will be granted the title of 'Fenglangjuxu' by this prince!"

Upon hearing the last four words, the soldiers were visibly excited.

They joined the army to earn military merits and rewards, but they never dared to dream of being granted a royal fiefdom.

Looking across the four kingdoms, the only one who could be crowned king based on his outstanding military achievements is the Great Yong War God before us.

However, he was only awarded a title after several military achievements.

How could they not be excited that they could be made kings with just one head?

No matter how powerful Xuan Wang is, he is still just a mortal. Now he has fallen into their ambush and become a fish on the chopping block, at their mercy.

They rushed forward, eager not to let someone else get the better deal.

Chu Lingyu sneered, "I didn't expect your head to be so valuable. I'm even a little tempted!"

The man glanced at him. "Try moving one of them."

"..."

He really can't move.

It's not that we dare not, it's that we cannot!

The Great Yong War God possessed unparalleled martial arts skills, and he had long wanted to test his abilities against him.

From the moment I arrived in Yongchao and found my younger sister, I knew there was no chance.

If someone dares to lay a hand on their brother-in-law, wouldn't that person fight them to the death?

The man gave him a "you're smart" look, as the most important thing now was to solve the immediate problem.

A hint of contempt flashed in his eyes as he saw the soldiers charging towards him.

Since that time I went to collect Ganoderma lucidum and was attacked by ferocious beasts, I have suffered severe internal injuries.

Yun Dai said that he should not use his internal energy recklessly for at least three months, otherwise his injuries would worsen.

Therefore, when he clashed palms with Murong Xiao that day, he did not use his full strength, otherwise the other party would not have been able to escape so easily.

Thanks to the nourishment of countless elixirs these days, his injuries have almost fully recovered.

But these people are not for him to deal with personally!

He suddenly leaped into the air and stood on a branch in mid-air.

The slender branches seemed to feel no weight at all, and didn't even bend once.

The soldiers who charged at him missed their target and crashed into each other, falling to the ground in a sorry state.

The ground where they fell suddenly split in two.

Many people fall into the crevice, unaware that below lie countless sharp swords.

This scene, witnessed by the soldiers behind, immediately froze them in place in shock.

Anyone who sees their companion pierced through the body by a sharp sword, or even three or four people impaled on a single sword, strung together in a chain, would be traumatized.

Murong Xiao, enraged, shouted, "What are you waiting for? Attack!"

At worst, we'll deal with this Crown Prince of Dongyue first; kill as many as we can!

At this moment, the ground cracked open in another place, and countless Yong Dynasty soldiers wielding large swords emerged from it.

They swarmed forward and slaughtered the terrified soldiers from the Northern Dynasty and the Western Regions.

The sudden turn of events caused Murong Xiao's expression to change drastically.

Where did these people come from?

Judging from their attire, they are clearly the city guards!

But weren't the city guards already dispatched to quell the unrest?

It would be impossible for them to return in less than three to five days. Even if they got wind of it and rushed back, they would be shot to death by the archers who had been lying in ambush at the four city gates.

A terrible thought came to mind.

Did they never leave at all?

The purpose was to create a false impression, making them think that the capital was poorly defended, and to lure the enemy out.
