197. Three counties of Hexi(1/2)

August 30, 1322 in the New Yu Calendar

Wanyang County, private houses in the west of the city.

Lu Guanqing, Tong Wudi, Gan Wu, and more than a dozen members of the Wanjian Saint Sect dressed in white, as well as the heads of the six third-rate forces in Wanyang County were all there. Everyone was sitting at attention, looking at the silent Gu Tianyun at the head of the seat.

, his face looked slightly heavy.

The reason why everyone was like this was because just now, Gu Tianyun called them over and asked them a question.

What on earth are the demonic cult troops outside waiting for?

After Zhan Taiqing was beaten back on the ninth day of August, for more than twenty days, the Demon Cult army did not make any move outside. The army on the city wall was still there, and the continuous tents outside the west gate did not disappear. According to Gu Tianyun, Zhan Taiqing

No one left either.

The demon sect's 170,000-strong army surrounded Wanyang County. They mobilized so many troops to come, and no one believed that they would give up the siege. This meant that they must have other intentions, but no one has noticed it yet.

Since the tenth day of August, some people have been guessing when the Demon Cult army would attack the city, but it turned out that there was no one on the tenth day, not the eleventh day, and not the twelfth day. Today was already the thirtieth day, and there was still no movement.

The unusual performance of the Demon Sect made Gu Tianyun unable to sit still and called them over. Even Gu Tianyun was not sure of the Demon Sect's intentions. One can imagine the heaviness in everyone's hearts at this moment.

"Could they be waiting for reinforcements from the Demon Cult?"

The person who spoke was Tong Wudi, the leader of the Tianding Sect. Everyone did not respond when they heard the words, obviously they didn't believe his guess.

"We have to wait for reinforcements to defeat Wanyang County. The Demon Cult is so incompetent that there is no need to start a war with me in Xuzhou. Zhan Taiqing is not weak. As long as he is willing to kill people, he only needs 50,000 people at most to defeat Wanyang County. She

You can definitely see it.

She didn't fight in the front, maybe because she was worried about casualties, but more than twenty days have passed, and it's been a month since the Yongzhou army entered the country, and it can't be justified that they can't take a single city. What on earth is she waiting for?"

Lu Guanqing's words immediately made everyone fall into deep thought.

Compared to everyone's contemplative state, Gu Tianyun's face was the calmest. He glanced around the crowd, and after a faint light flashed deep in the hole, a slightly disappointed look appeared on his face.

"I don't know if the Demon Cult is waiting for reinforcements, but our reinforcements are probably gone!"

A voice suddenly came from behind the crowd, and the disappointment on Gu Tianyun's face disappeared immediately. He looked behind him and found that the person speaking was the commander Gan Wu in battle armor, with a hint of appreciation in his eyes.

Unlike his expression, everyone seemed to be waking up from a dream.

"By the way, we have been keeping an eye on the Demon Cult army outside the city for this month. Where are our own reinforcements?"

"Longxiang County and Yangping County should have received the news a long time ago. According to the normal marching speed, they should arrive on the 9th and 10th."

"It's been more than twenty days and they haven't come yet. Did something happen to them?"

"this………"

As the discussion grew louder and louder, everyone gradually woke up and their tone became lower and lower, shocked and even frightened.

A bunch of idiots!

Gu Tianyun looked at the people below, especially Lu Guanqing, Tong Wudi and the local leaders of the third-rate forces in Wanyang County, and cursed in his heart, his eyes filled with deep disdain.

Cultivation and brain are really two different things...

To besiege the city and call for reinforcements, no one in Wanyang County could see such a simple move. Only Gan Wu, the commander with an alchemy level of cultivation, could see it now. Gu Tianyun thought it was polite to call him a fool.

On the tenth day of August, the moment the reinforcements did not arrive, Gu Tianyun could already tell that something was wrong, but the problem was that Zhan Taiqing himself did not leave, and the Demon Cult army under his command did not appear to be much smaller. He brought more than 10,000 makeshift remnants of the army in the city with him.

If you fight out, there is no chance of winning at all.

Zhan Taiqing's siege and reinforcements were completely unsolvable. Gu Tianyun could not think of any countermeasures. It was impossible for the soldiers and horses from the six counties in Hedong to cross the river to support him. His only hope of holding Wanyang County was the reinforcements from Yangping and Longxiang counties.

If the reinforcements in these two counties are wiped out by the Demon Cult, then not only Wanyang County, but also the entire three counties in Hexi will have to give up.

Gu Tianyun could only defend Wanyang County, hoping that the people from the Demon Sect who had left could not deal with the reinforcements from the two counties.

He did not tell these people his plans. If the situation was leaked, it would not only cause panic among the people in the city, but also make these people have some thoughts that they shouldn't have.

Hiding it from them, there can be other uses...

Before, he thought that even if he didn't say anything, someone would notice it as time went by, but now he realized that almost a month had passed, and only one Gan Wu had noticed it.

This Gan Wu is quite a talent!

Just as Gu Tianyun was thinking about it, a breath suddenly rose into the sky from the west of the city. He suddenly raised his head, as if he had realized something, and there was a gloomy look in his eyes.

The three counties in Hexi are always going to be lost. No matter what, I will see if you, the Rakshasa Holy Sect, dare to cross the river and attack the east side of Hedong!

"Gu Tianyun, you choose whether you want to abandon the city on your own, or run away after our holy army has killed you in a river of blood!"

Zhan Taiqing's voice not only resounded inside and outside Wanyang County, but also clearly reached the ears of more than two million people in the city.

All the soldiers of Wanyu who were guarding the West City suddenly raised their heads, looking at the beautiful figure in the sky and the demon sect's army jumping on the city wall, as if they were about to rush down at any time, their eyes full of horror.

"The Rakshasa demon sect is acting rebelliously, breaking alliances and treaties, violating our borders, and wantonly slaughtering our people in Xuzhou. This will be tolerated by the world. As a member of the Ten Thousand Swords Saint sect, Gu wants me to abandon my city and my land. Witch, you are just wishful thinking."

!”

A flaming red sword light flew into the air, and Gu Tianyun's upright voice also resounded throughout the city. He was dressed in white and had a handsome face. He accused Zhan Taiqing with a solemn expression. Putting aside his strength, his appeal was at least instantaneous.

Suppressed Zhan Taiqing.

"With Gu Jianshou here, the Demon Sect can't even think of breaking through the city!"

"That's right, we have a city-protecting sword formation. The Demon Cult can't get in. This witch is no match for Master Gu, so there's no need to be afraid!"

"The Rakshasa Demon Cult is extremely vicious and we cannot let them break in."

………

Foolish people!

Zhan Taiqing looked at the city guards who continued to echo Gu Tianyun, with a look of ridicule on her face, but she also knew that these people could not make the decision, so she turned her attention to Gu Tianyun and asked with a sneer: "Gu Tianyun, you are really determined.

, are you going to cause trouble for me?"

Before Gu Tianyun could answer, Zhan Taiqing looked directly behind him.

The six master-level masters of the demon sect each flew into the air with one person in their hands. When Gu Tianyun saw the six people, although he was not surprised at all, his expression quickly turned gloomy.

"Isn't that Ren Feixing, the sword-wielding commander of Longxiang County?"

"The second one is Chen An Dutong."

"Mu Qingwu, the sword-bearer of Yangping County, is also here."

"That's Li Wenxuan, I've met him, the deputy master of the famous Sword Sect."

"This... Longxiang County and Yangping County have both been lost?"

"It's over, it's over!"

…………

The three counties of Longxiang, Yangping, and Wanyang are all located in Hexi. The people of the three counties often communicate with each other, not to mention the Silver Armor Army. Although the six people are described as a bit withered at the moment, their faces are declining, and they are not as good as before. The people at the top were high-spirited, but there were still many people below, and they were recognized at a glance.

A succession of voices came from below, and Gu Tianyun's already gloomy expression became even more gloomy. The news that Longxiang County and Yangping County were definitely lost was confirmed, and the people below would definitely be much less willing to resist. In this way, his The purpose will not be achieved.

"It's a joke, just pull out six people at random, just to scare us. Reinforcements from Yangping County, Longxiang County will be here soon. You witch, don't stop here to confuse the public with your monstrous words and derail the morale of our army!"

Gu Tianyun not only took the lead and denied the identities of the six people, but the Melting Sky Sword suddenly appeared in his palm, bringing out a fiery red sword light and rushing straight towards Zhan Taiqing. He was the first to take action!

The Melting Sky Sword Qi, combined with his Qianyang Realm cultivation, created a crack in the air that was like magma boiling. It arrived in front of Zhan Taiqing almost instantly. The red light in the sky stretched for nearly ten miles, and the sword Qi instantly filled the entire area. Between heaven and earth.

"Stubborn, Peng Yuhu, give the order to attack the city!"

A trace of anger flashed in Zhan Taiqing's eyes. After giving Peng Yuhu the order to attack the city, the fatal Sanskrit sound instantly wrapped around his body. His Qianyang realm cultivation was suddenly activated, and he faced Gu Tianyun impartially, without the slightest intention of shrinking or fearing.

As soon as the two top masters of the Qianyang Realm fought, the sky for dozens of miles suddenly became a place where sword energy and Sanskrit sounds intertwined. Endless murderous intent spread, and no one could get involved.

In fact, they don't have time to interfere now, because the Demon Cult army has already rushed down from the west city wall and begun to officially attack the city.

"Today is the day to make great achievements. Brothers, follow me and kill!"

"The innocent souls of Tongling will be sacrificed with the heads of these Xuzhou dogs."

"Longxiang and Yangping counties are gone. If you want to kill the enemy, Wanyang County is the only one left now. Brothers, charge!"

…………

The city wall can only stand a maximum of 10,000 people, but at this moment, the demon sect's army is rushing down in a steady stream, one wave after another, seemingly endless. The roars and killing sounds resound all around the city wall at any time. The overwhelming blood energy also gathered together, like a stormy wave crashing on the shore, the sound shook the heaven and the earth, and was extremely terrifying.

Facing such a roaring and tsunami-like charge, the morale of the more than 10,000 improvised city defenders who had just been boosted by Gu Tianyun's appearance instantly dropped. Most of them looked pale, with very few or even scared hands. The weapon could not be held firmly and fell to the ground with a crisp sound.

"Holy Sect's Imperial Order, Brass Sword Formation!"

"What are you afraid of? With the Holy Sect's city-protecting sword formation, as long as we hold on to this wave and wait until Gu Jianshou defeats the demon girl, the demon sect will not be able to defeat us. Brothers, follow me to defend the enemy and let these demon sect evil obstacles come and go. Come back!"

Lu Guanqing brought out the brass sword formation, and Gan Wu quickly ran to the front of the city defenders and roared angrily. The two of them cooperated with each other in a tacit understanding, and actually regained their morale a little.

The more than 3,000 silver-armored troops at the front were the first to regain their composure, raised their weapons and began to resist; later, the Tianding Sect troops led by Tong Wudi, as well as the martial arts cultivators temporarily brought in from Wanyang County, totaling more than 8,000 people, He also came forward to greet him.

Of course, there are also many casual cultivators who turn around and run away!

After the city-protecting sword array was activated, tens of thousands of yellow long swords suddenly rose from the city. Just like the situation during the previous two sieges, they rushed down from the air and ruthlessly harvested the soldiers of the Demon Cult army who were rushing at the front.

"Those with cultivation levels above the Gang Qi realm, block these flying swords, while the rest continue to charge!"

Peng Yuhu rushed forward and roared, and then blew out a strong wind with the paper fan in his hand, which immediately blew away hundreds of flying swords.

However, there are tens of thousands of flying swords, and there are less than 200 Gangqi realm masters in his Xingnan Mansion Army. Even if the fifty people from the Hou family and more than a dozen Grandmaster realm masters appear at the same time,
