Chapter 118: Breaking the City Alone
Standing on the top of the city wall, looking down from above, Liu Xuanqi finally had the time to take a closer look at what this daring martial arts master looked like.
He had a sturdy build, and although he was wearing a rough short brown shirt, it could not hide his huge body. He was also very tall, at least a head taller than others, probably more than nine feet tall!
The man swung his arms horizontally like a celestial ape spreading its arms. The elite soldiers in armor were no match for him at all. They were like toys in his hands and flew away at the slightest touch!
Such a performance is enough to scare anyone! "What does he want to do?"
Liu Xuanqi's face was as black as the bottom of a pot. He never expected that this martial arts master could be so crazy.
Being able to force him to hide in the city that had just been captured amidst the enemy's massive army was already a remarkable feat. Even if the news got out, no one would dare to underestimate it.
But the other party was still not satisfied and dared to continue charging!
At this time, the many Mohists following behind him had stopped and were clearing the obstacles around them tacitly.
Because the commander-in-chief Liu Xuanqi fled first, and because the previous round of arrows that killed far more of their own people than the Mozhe, the Daqing soldiers who were still outside the city gate did not dare to resist them, and even had the posture of escaping! Liu Xuanqi knew that this was because the opponent came too suddenly, and the speed of breaking the formation was really fast, too fast, leaving no time for people to react.
War is not simply a matter of you cutting me with a knife and I chopping you with a sword, until the last soldier decides the outcome.
In fact, soldiers are also human beings! As long as the number of casualties in battle reaches a certain level, morale will drop sharply. When the strength difference is not big, it is common to see a hundred people chasing a thousand people.
If the casualties were more severe, reaching 30% or 40%, there would be dozens of people chasing and killing hundreds or even thousands of people! In history, there were also cases where hundreds of people chased and killed tens of thousands of people, and no one was willing to resist!
To be fair, even tens of thousands of pigs wouldn't be so cowardly! But this is the real battlefield, the real war.
Soldiers are flesh and blood people, not emotionless puppets. Naturally, they are also afraid of death and afraid of the enemy, so there is the so-called military morale.
Unfortunately, in Liu Xuanqi's eyes, these Daqing soldiers were not human beings, but just bargaining chips for him to use in battle.
With four countries facing off against one country, they have just tackled the toughest bone to chew. Why should they be so cautious and trembling with fear as if they were walking on thin ice?
With such a huge advantage in hand, all he needs to do is to feed some of his men a little, inspire the fierceness of the soldiers, turn them into executioners, and then he can rise up with the trend!
They were not prepared to fight a tough battle in such a short period of time.
They had been chopping melons and vegetables before, but suddenly they became the ones being chopped. The Daqing soldiers were stunned.
In addition, the backbone has already abandoned them and even closed the city gates, completely isolating them from the enemy. It is inevitable that emotions of fear and uneasiness will continue to grow and eventually turn into repeated avoidance.
If three thousand men were not considered too many in the army, and the fighting time was too short, they would have fled in droves! Of course, the situation was not much better now.
But, it's time to end it.
The city gates were already closed, and a martial arts master couldn't possibly fly over a city wall several feet high, right? ! Liu Xuanqi's eyes were fixed on the tall and burly figure, who was still rushing towards the city without any hesitation.
"Let me ask you, what is the situation of the Mohist School?"
Liu Xuanqi frowned deeply and looked away.
At this moment, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Daqing was looking down with a look of shock on his face, and he actually felt his blood boiling.
This kind of great spirit, "I will go forward even if there are thousands of people against me," is enough to make anyone's heart tremble.
"I'm asking you a question!"
Liu Xuanqi patted him on the shoulder, finally bringing the prince back to his senses.
"What?"
He looked over with some confusion.
"Let me ask you, what exactly is the Mohist School? Who does it belong to? Why haven't I heard of it before!" Liu Xuanqi's face turned dark, and he wished he could flatten him with a punch.
As the prince of Daqing, he actually showed an expression that he wanted to worship his enemy. He didn't know what it meant to be embarrassed! "Mojia. It's Mojia!"
He was a little confused and didn't know how to explain it. He said haltingly, "It is an organization founded by Mo Qiu. The people who follow him are called Mohists, and they all obey his orders."
"Mo Qiu? The martial arts master who came to the palace to offer immortal stones?!" Liu Xuanqi said in surprise.
Liu Xuanqi was not completely unfamiliar with the name Moqiu.
According to the information reported by the spies in Dayue, he certainly knew about Mo Qiu.
However, apart from offering immortal stones, there has been no news of any major moves from the other party. And it was precisely because of the offering of immortal stones that this martial arts master left many people with the impression of being "greedy for power."
After all, you are a martial arts master. If you just snatch the immortal stone and run away, what can the emperor do to you? You actually gave away the immortal stone you had finally obtained. You are so stupid! If it wasn't because you were greedy for power and wanted to be favored by the emperor, how else could you explain this? But now. Looking at the domineering figure under the city that looked like a swooping dragon, Liu Xuanqi felt that there might be some misunderstanding.
Is your power-hungry person risking his life like this?!
At this time, the news of Mo Qiu's murder of the emperor had not yet reached here, otherwise his mood might have been even more different.
There was no time to ask too many questions, because Mo Qiu was about to rush to the city gate! "Archer, shoot!"
Liu Xuanqi's eyes flashed coldly, and when the distance reached a certain level, he immediately gave the order.
Even if he was a martial arts master, did he still want to attack the city alone? It was a foolish dream!
Arrows rained down from the sky. Compared with the huge number of arrows, the lone figure rushing over seemed as small as a small boat in the sea.
The khaki light flowed slightly over his body, and the arrows that fell on his body would slide away if they touched him, and would not cause any damage.
Liu Xuanqi was not afraid at all, and encouraged: "Use all his energy, I want to see how long he can hold on!"
Unconsciously, the ambition to kill the martial arts master in the beginning turned into forcing him to retreat.
But anyone who saw it in person wouldn't think there was anything wrong with it.
That man was like a god of war, tireless and unaware of hardship. He charged through the army and even arrived at the city alone!
Such a feat is worthy of the title of Grandmaster, and even exceeds it.
Even if there is some spare strength, it is impossible for one person to break into the city alone, right?
I have never heard of such a thing!
Soon they saw Mo Qiu's choice.
Under the rain of arrows, he was as fast as lightning, and he could only move forward, forward, and forward again!
When everything was left behind him, the tall city gate blocked his way!
The city gate stands like a high wall, and there must be heavy troops guarding inside.
On the city wall, there were still soldiers with bows and arrows drawn! If the falling rocks and rolling logs had not been used up in the previous siege, there would definitely not be only a rain of arrows attacking at this time.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Moqiu stood in front of the city gate.
Compared with the tall and strong body of an ordinary person, compared with the towering city gate, his body seemed a little small and unbearable, forcing him to stop sprinting.
Is that the end?
No, it's just the beginning! Exhale and hold your breath.
Mo Qiu raised his fist, and in front of countless people's disbelieving eyes, he punched the city gate! "Bang!"
A dull sound, like the beating of a drum, shook people's hearts.
On the city wall, Liu Xuanqi noticed Mo Qiu's actions and looked confused.
Do you want to tear down the city gate by yourself? ! What a joke! A city not only has thick and tall walls, but also has gates that are not cut corners. Even if the conditions are worse, the gates made of sunken wood will be poured with molten iron or copper! Since ancient times, siege battles have rarely been won by breaking through the city gates. You can imagine how difficult it is to simply break through the city gates.
Could it be that Mo Qiu is really crazy?
Even the Moists behind him stopped, but he did not stop.
Punch after punch! The sound of beating drums continued to sound, and the earth-yellow Qi on Mo Qiu's body continued to swell and rise, almost connecting with the earth.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Perhaps it was because the sound was so loud that it made people's hearts tremble, or perhaps it was because the scene before him was too horrifying, Liu Xuanqi actually felt that the city wall was shaking under the fist.
This is of course an illusion.
But even he had such thoughts, what about the soldiers around him?
Looking around, the shock on everyone's faces was beyond words.
What morale was still there was crushed the moment Mo Qiu swung his fist at the city gate.
What an unbridled and overbearing fellow he was, he actually wanted to take the city alone!
"What are you all standing there for?! Shoot, shoot!!!"
Liu Xuanqi was filled with anger and roared suddenly.
This voice finally awakened the soldiers who were shocked beyond words. They gritted their teeth and aimed at the figure that looked like a god descending from heaven, but for some reason even their hands were shaking.
Arrows rained down on his face, but he remained unmoved.
It seemed that the figure only had the city gate in front of him and no longer paid any attention to anything in the outside world.
Fists landed on the city gate again and again, and a faint creaking sound like an old tree groaning in the wind could be heard.
Blood flowed from his palms. The martial arts master's body was not a real iron wall after all. Even with the innate energy as a buffer, it was impossible for it to not have any wear and tear.
But he seemed unaware and didn't care at all.
The fist that fell was getting more and more powerful, as if it was going to overturn the sky and turn the earth over.
The ochre-colored true energy gathered together, reflecting the unwavering figure, as if a new sun was born on the earth!
“Crack!!”
At a certain moment, a different sound came from the city gate! The people on the city wall stood there as if petrified.
Until a certain sound trembled and sounded.
"The city was breached?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the whole area fell silent.
