Li Lian was dressed in golden-patterned silver armor,
In his right hand was the Huolong Lequan, which was blooming with golden-red light,
At his waist was the invincible Zhanlu sword,
Below him was the dignified Ben Xiao, who was holding his head high like a phoenix.
"When I don't have to be distracted by intelligence,
When I'm focused on martial strength,
Who else dares to boast about defeating me!? "
"
None of the more than 400,000 Xiongnu soldiers dared to respond.
This..,
Was the Marquis of Champion of Da Zhou, the Commander of Tientse Province, Li Lian.
However..,
It seemed that one man was blocking the pass..,
Behind the invincible army..,
Li Lian let out an imperceptible groan.
As early as outside Yanmen County, in order to lead his Heavenly Strategies soldiers to break through the encirclement of the Xiongnu coalition forces,
He took a shot from Hu Hanye,
And suffered internal injuries.
After that, he had not rested, and his internal injuries had faintly worsened after running around.
Just now, due to his carelessness, he was hit by Lang Li, Qu, and the other two, causing his injuries to worsen. It also caused him to erupt with even more violent internal force, causing his qi and blood to churn, and the internal injuries in his body to completely worsen,
His internal organs were injured.
But under these circumstances, even if Li Lian had to fight to the death, he had to fight to the last moment.
So, he rode Ben Xiao and slowly walked to Gao Aduo's side,
He pretended that nothing had happened,
He looked calm and collected,
He was about to stab Gao Aduo, who wanted to take advantage of the chaos to escape, to death,
So as not to cause trouble.
Hu Hanye's eyes narrowed, and the Xiongnu cavalry behind him all drew their bows and nocked their arrows. The arrowheads were aimed at Li Lian, as if they were about to shoot ten thousand arrows at the same time.
Li Lian's spearhead, which was about to stab Gao Aduo's neck, couldn't help but pause.
"I never say or do anything more than three times.
And this time, it's also my last invitation.
"
Hu Hanye would rather destroy the person (thing) he couldn't get than let others get it.
He stared fixedly at Li Lian and made a solemn promise, "As long as you are willing to surrender, the conditions remain the same – Great Xiongnu's Prince of the Left and the second seat of the Great Prairie are yours.
Not only that, I can overlook the fact that you took the lives of Lang Liqu, Huyan Zhuotong, and Helian Qubei. I can also spare the tens of thousands of Tientse Province soldiers in the valley.
"
Don't think that he didn't know that Li Lian was guarding the small path at the entrance of Guiyan Valley to stall for time and wait for reinforcements.
But so what?
He had over four hundred thousand soldiers here, while the Zhou dynasty's army was blocked by his other four hundred thousand soldiers in Yanmen County.
Even if Li Lian waited for a day or a month, there still wouldn't be reinforcements coming to save him.
The reason why Hu Hanye was willing to waste time with Li Lian outside the valley was because in his mind, even if there were a hundred thousand Zhou dynasty's Heaven Inspire Army, the Zhou dynasty's Heaven Inspire Army couldn't compare to a Li Lian.
With a Li Lian, the Heaven Inspire Army could be as many as he wanted.
Moreover …
Hu Hanye gazed deeply at Li Lian.
Ten years ago, when he first met the young general, he had an indescribable feeling. So he personally tried to recruit Li Lian, only to return in defeat for the first time.
If Li Lian had died during these ten years, or if he hadn't accomplished anything, Hu Hanxie might not have taken it to heart.
But the problem was that not only did Li Lian not grow up in mediocrity, he was young and accomplished, rising to fame and achieving great feats.
Report after report on him flew into Hu Hanye's tent like snowflakes, piling up like a mountain. All of this caused Hu Hanye to firmly remember him.
When Hu Hanye was just born, the High Priest of the Great Xiongnu Ancestral Court had divined for him and left behind a prophecy.
This baby born on the Great Steppe was the reincarnation of the Seven Kills Star.
Once the reincarnations of the Army Destroyer Star and the Greedy Wolf Star were gathered, he would lead the Great Xiongnu to dominate the entire steppe, even aspire to the throne of the Central Plains, accomplishing a great undertaking unprecedented in history and bringing glory to the entire Great Xiongnu.
The Seven Kills Star was the sixth star of the Southern Dipper. The Five Elements were Fire and Metal, and it ruled over life and death.
Every time the Seven Kills Star was born, it was bound to be plagued with disasters when it was young. If it did not die, it would be a Yan Nian. Therefore, the Seven Kills Star was also listed as one of the Six Evils.
This star was the Solitary Star of Execution and Death, and it was also the Solitary Star of Success and Failure. It was impatient and temperamental.
However, according to ancient records, as long as the Seven Kills Star, the Army Destroyer Star, and the Greedy Wolf Star were gathered, they would form the Killing, Destroying, and Wolf Star. The world would definitely change masters, irreversible!
Among them, the Seven Kills Star was the thief who disturbed the world.
The Army Destroyer Star was the general who dominated the world.
The Greedy Wolf Star was a treacherous and deceitful person.
As long as the Killing, Destroying, and Wolf Stars were gathered, they would be able to break the world's original situation in one fell swoop, overthrowing the Zhou dynasty's dominance and causing the whole world to fall into chaos.
At that time, the Great Xiongnu could take advantage of the chaos and aspire to the throne of the Central Plains, turning the Central Plains into their grazing land and restoring the glory of the Great Xiongnu.
However, at first, the former Great Lord of Xiongnu, Yi Lixie, didn't believe this.
He just felt that since the birth of his youngest son, the whole tribe had been plagued with disasters. There was a rare snowstorm in a hundred years, a large increase in the number of cattle and sheep that fell ill, and more tribesmen died of illness or accidents than in previous years. Even he, the great Lord of Xiongnu, was injured because his horse fell off the ground.
Although Yi Lixie didn't know what the Six Kills Star meant, she still felt that this youngest son was unlucky. Therefore, she threw the one-year-old son to live at the edge of the tribe, leaving only an old Zhou slave to take care of him.
If it weren't for the fact that Hu Hanye had a tough life, he might have died before he could hunt a wolf at the age of seven and please Yi Lixie.
Hu Hanye himself was the Seven Kills Star, and his most capable subordinate, Han Baling, was the reincarnation of the Ravenous Wolf Star. So long as the ALKAID Star Li Lian was added, it would be enough to form the Seven Kills Star pattern and change the ruler of the world!
Although the Retired Emperor and Dai Quan silently sent people to cover up the news of Li Lian's birth date, but when Li Lian was born, everyone in the Rongguo Mansion was busy enough to catch their breath. Naturally, many servants remembered his birth date.
Hu Hanye just sent people to inquire a little, and easily found out that Li Lian was the reincarnation of the remaining ALKAID Star.
However, no matter how good Hu Hanye's calculations were, it was useless because Li Lian refused to cooperate.
"Life is Da Zhou's person, death is Da Zhou's ghost.
"
This sentence was enough to express his determination to never surrender.
"You'd rather die than surrender?"
Hu Hanye was so angry that he laughed.
He didn't understand at all why Li Lian was so … stubborn.
In his view, the so-called loyalty was just a means, a lie that scholars used to send fools to death.
Hu Hanye shook his head in confusion and couldn't help but ask again, "You really won't surrender?"
"
He revealed, "Let me tell you, Zhou dynasty is bound to lose this time!
If you still stand on their side, you'll only become my prisoner. "
"
"Ha!
They just sent 200,000 men to attack Sufang County from Helan Mountain and 30,000 cavalrymen to take Dai County! "
Li Lian snorted and exposed Hu Hanye's arrangement.
Hu Hanye's expression changed slightly, and he asked tentatively with a smile, "What's wrong?
Your spies in Dongchang are really good. You even found out such news. "
"Did you get it from Min He Cha, Han Baling, or Ashina Tonghe?"
"
Even though Li Lian had exposed his two private arrangements, he still had a confident look on his face.
Li Lian secretly tried to regulate his breathing, but on the surface, he was calm and collected. "Da Zhou is full of talented people. Who knows how many resourceful and resourceful people we have? How can such a small trick escape our eyes?"
He just needed to leave Hu Hanye with the impression that Da Zhou was full of talented people. In the future, he would certainly think more and leave some leeway for himself.
"I was in a hurry just now, so I couldn't determine the winner with the Great Lord. It's a pity.
Now that the warm-up is over, I hope the Great Lord won't be stingy with your guidance. "
Li Lian asked for a battle.
He actually described killing the three fierce generals of Xiongnu as a warm-up. The contempt and disdain in his tone made the Xiongnu army behind Hu Hanye quite angry. But in fear of Li Lian's imposing manner of killing three generals and his martial arts skills, all the Xiongnu soldiers dared to be angry but didn't dare to say anything.
"Oh?"
Hu Hanye looked Li Lian up and down.
He said meaningfully, "Doesn't your injury hurt?"
It wasn't clear whether he was referring to the wound on Li Lian's left arm, or whether he had already seen through Li Lian's serious internal injuries. There was a hidden meaning in his words.
Li Lian laughed freely and said, "Pain isn't important. What's important is pleasure!
"
He stared at Hu Hanye, his gaze full of provocation.
"The first half is over. Is the Great Lord going to avenge your useless subordinates in the second half?"
"
In the face of Li Lian's blatant provocation, Hu Hanye wouldn't be Hu Hanye if he chose to refuse.
"Since the Champion Marquis is interested, I won't disappoint you."
Hu Hanye laughed. It was hard to tell whether he liked or disliked him.
Although he was smiling, his deep black eyes were incomparably cold.
Don't say that he took advantage of Li Lian's precarious situation. At this moment, he had already decided to take Li Lian's life.
Hu Hanye shouted coldly. Clad in the Golden Chain Armor and holding the Tiger Head Clear Gold Spear, he fiercely rushed towards Li Lian.
Seeing Hu Hanye ferociously rushing towards him, Li Lian wasn't afraid. After stabbing Gao Aduo to death with his spear, he rushed forward with his spear.
Hu Hanye's Horned Dragon Spear Art was tyrannical and overbearing, while Li Lian's Heavenly Plan Spear Art was swift and deadly.
The moment the two met, Li Lian and Hu Hanye attacked almost at the same time. Both sides were brimming with killing intent.
Clang …
The Tiger Head Clear Gold Spear and Huolong Lequan suddenly clashed, and a loud rumble sounded.
In an instant, Li Lian held the spear with both hands and unleashed Heaven Splitter. Huolong Lequan, like a dragon emerging from the water, pressed forward with ferocious momentum.
Hu Hanye wasn't willing to fall behind. Like a ferocious viper, the Tiger Head Clear Gold Spear in his hand stabbed towards Li Lian's chest.
Amidst the violent sounds of iron weapons clashing, Li Lian and Hu Hanye have already made seven moves in just a few breaths. Brandishing their spears, they clashed with each other many times.
After passing by each other, Li Lian quickly turned around.
At this time, his arms holding the Huolong Lequan trembled slightly, his qi and blood surged, and a barely visible trace of blood appeared on his face. Because his internal injuries kept hindering the operation of his internal force, he was slightly slower when fighting Hu Hanye, and his cheek was scratched by the Tiger Head Clear Gold Spear.
Hu Hanye's deep and hoarse laughter sounded. "What's the point of doing this?"
After the fight just now, he found that Li Lian didn't have the invincible feeling he had just now.
Although Li Lian's strength is still very human, but he can already bear it.
He is sure that Li Lian has suffered serious internal injuries, and these internal injuries will continue to deepen with Li Lian's every move.
"Killing an expert is better than killing hundreds, right??
Lucky muscles!
Estimated that Luo Bu Lian Huang Yu Mu Chui Ye???
Mu Ba?
Ya??
Urgent Luo Bu Lin Chang Huan Ji
After noticing the pain in his internal organs, Li Lian didn't think that he would be able to leave alive today.
In this case, exchanging a life for a life is the most cost-effective thing to do.
Exchanging his life for Hu Hanye's life.
As long as Hu Hanye is dead, without a leader, Li Lian believes that General He Qi will definitely have a way to defeat the Xiongnu Coalition Army.
He deliberately avoided the figure in his heart that he once promised to return alive.
In my life, when I am serious, my spirit overflows the three armies.
When the sun splits the spear, the stars unite the sword.
When the bowstring hugs the moon, the horse tramples on Hu Chen.
If you don't want to live, you can only repay your master with your death.
Li Lian murmured, "If you don't want to live, you can only repay your master with your death …"
Then, he raised his eyes again, and his eyes were full of determination.
For Da Zhou, for the Retired Emperor, for the Emperor …
He must kill Hu Hanye!
Li Lian urged his horse to gallop and fight Hu Hanye again.
"A bunch of useless people!"
"…"
At this moment, Feng Zizhi was burning with anxiety. He wished he could grow a pair of wings on his back and fly to find Li Lian and Li Lian. However, he was blocked by Po Liu and Han Baling outside Yanmen City, unable to advance or retreat.
What angered him the most was that Ying Jin, Zhao Feng, He Cheng and He Xin, the useless brothers, could not break out of the enemy's encirclement and even allowed the enemy to charge into their ranks.
The arrows were evenly distributed.
Although the arrows filled with internal energy of the Heavenly Bow Unit were effective in killing the Wolf Fang soldiers, internal energy was something that needed to be carefully controlled.
Normally, they had to be very careful when using it in their bodies, let alone this time when they had to guide it out of their bodies and fill the arrows!
Even if they practiced diligently every day, the soldiers of the Heavenly Bow Unit who specialized in internal energy could only shoot four to five arrows on average.
Therefore, Li Mingzhu and the soldiers of the Heavenly Bow Unit who were far away on the city wall could no longer help Feng Zizhi and the others after five rounds of arrow rain. They could only rely on their comrades below the city wall to fend for themselves.
"Soldiers, kill your way out!"
Feng Zizhi's tone was extremely cold, like an arctic glacier, so cold that it pierced the bones.
The three hundred men who had been silently protecting Feng Zizhi in the center suddenly moved.
With tacit understanding, they left fifty men to continue protecting Feng Zizhi, while the other two hundred and fifty men led the way.
As they neared the Wolf Fang soldiers, they suddenly raised their hands and flicked their wrists. * Swoosh * A cold light appeared.
Arrows that were obviously dipped in poison flew out from their sleeves.
* Poof! *
A soft sound rang out, and at such a close distance, the arrows pierced through the Wolf Fang Cavalry soldiers' faces.
The Wolf Fang Cavalry soldier's eyes were filled with disbelief, his mouth agape, as if he wanted to ask himself how he had died to an arrow even though he was wearing heavy armour.
Alas, his body tilted to the side and he fell off his horse, trampled mercilessly by his comrades. He would never have the chance to ask that question.
He was not the only one who was in such a situation. Although the Wolf Fang soldiers had been on the battlefield for a long time, they had never seen such an attack before and were a little flustered.
With the help of the Evil Warding Scripture and all kinds of secret medicines that stimulated the body, although the lifespan of the dark warriors would be affected, their skills had gone through harsh and cruel training day and night. They could accurately hit their target with every single crossbow arrow.
Two hundred and fifty crossbow bolts killed two hundred and fifty Wolf Fang soldiers.
The next moment, the soldiers took out two specially made long swords from their backs and started to massacre the Wolf Fang soldiers at close range.
Their longswords were not divine weapons and could not break through the defense of the Wolf Fang cavalry's heavy armor in one move. However, the dark soldiers only needed to evenly cover the tip of their swords with internal energy. They also needed to look at the gap between the Wolf Fang cavalry's heavy armor and use the momentum and speed of their own horse and the enemy's horse to slash at the enemy's neck.
Headless figures of the Wolf Fang soldiers appeared one after another. The cuts on their necks were neat and clean, and blood spurted out like a fountain.
The attack of the soldiers was so sudden and so close that the Wolf Fang soldiers had no time to react at all.
How could the Wolf Fang soldiers expect that such a group of murderous stars would pop up in the army of Zhou where they were free to come and go a moment ago?
The cavalrymen of the Wolf Fang Army were lost too fast. Therefore, Han Baling soon focused his attention on the 301 cavalrymen.
His attractive eyes were slightly dazzled.
He was slightly dazzled.
After reorganizing the team, he ordered the Wolf Fang soldiers to protect their necks and other vital parts with shields and then charge at the enemy from a distance with the length of their spears.
The soldiers who had made great contributions showed neither joy nor worry on their faces. Faced with the charge of the Wolf Fang soldiers, they also charged at them fearlessly.
Because Feng Zizhi did not change his order, their only purpose was to protect their master and kill his way out of the battlefield.
Although the soldiers tried their best to dodge and block the spears, more than 50 soldiers who were leading the charge were still pierced through by the spears.
However, with the momentum of the horses, more than 50 soldiers grabbed their killers and dragged them down from their horses. Then, they stabbed their swords into the throats of the soldiers of the Wolf Fang soldiers.
If after doing all of these things, they still did not 'perish together', and if they still had the strength to spare, then they could stab the Xiongnu warhorse carrying the Wolf Fang troops and use their last bit of usefulness.
The soldiers of the Wolf Fang soldiers who were dragged down and killed the soldiers by luck did the same thing as the soldiers. They tried their best to reduce the casualties of their comrades.
During the whole process, neither the Wolf Fang soldiers nor the soldiers of the Wolf Fang soldiers shouted a single word when they were fighting.
As long as they were not fatally wounded or were still breathing, they would fight with all their might.
The onlookers only felt that these two troops were the best of the best, and they were one of the strongest troops in the world.
At the very least, his fearless appearance was enough to make anyone tremble in fear.
The general of the Wolf Fang army, the reincarnation of the Greedy Wolf Star, Po6 Han Baling, looked over with great interest from afar.
The master of the soldiers of the Wolf Fang army, the reincarnation of the Wenchang Star, Feng Zizhi, glanced at him coldly.
At this time, Feng Zizhi said to the soldiers of the Wolf Fang army who had been guarding him closely: "Fire the signal flare!
Fire the signal flare! "
Without any hesitation, the soldiers of the Wolf Fang army took out a signal flare and fired it into the sky.
Bang!
Brilliant orange flames blossomed in the sky.
Po6 Han Baling did not speculate or worry about the meaning of the fireworks. Instead, he looked at the fireworks in the sky with appreciation, and then looked at Li Mingzhu on the city wall, as if everything on the battlefield had nothing to do with him.
At this time, the 400,000-strong Xiongnu army on the battlefield suddenly became noisy, and internal strife broke out.
