Chapter 321 The Victory is Determined
Wengzhou is located at the border of Yuexi, and is not only invaded by war, but also often hit by sandstorms. Therefore, a high platform was built in the city with a large bell on the platform. Once it was rung, it would alert the people in the city to respond in time.
Xiao Yechen gathered dozens of soldiers and Lan Shu to come to the platform, lit torches around, and illuminated the platform brightly.
Lan Shu changed back into men's attire, found a guqin from the provincial capital, sat down and began to play the instrument.
He lost his little finger, but his piano skills were still superb. Through the amplification effect of the pottery around the high platform, the sound of the piano spread out in the night.
The sound of the piano was a bit strange. Xiao Yechen had never heard it before, and the Yuexi soldiers who were fighting all changed their expressions after hearing the sound of the piano.
This is Yuexi's lullaby, which means that playful children should go home early because their families have prepared delicious meals waiting for them.
Xuanyuan Lang was not in a hurry to evacuate. He was arranging people to move out box after box of incense and prepare to light them.
He had been planning for a long time, and although his plan was seen through by the people of Zhaoling in advance, he could not leave in disgrace. These intoxicating incenses were his backup plan.
When all the Zhaoling troops rushed into the city, these incense sticks would make them completely addicted and lose their minds. Then he would pretend to retreat, and wait until these incense sticks burned out before making a surprise attack. Maybe he could even turn defeat into victory.
Thinking of this, Xuanyuan Lang curled the corners of his lips slightly, and at this moment, the melodious sound of a piano came into his ears.
Who would play this kind of music at this time? Wouldn't this shake the morale of the army?
Xuanyuan Lang's face darkened, and soon someone came to report: "General, it was that man named Lan Shu who was playing the music. He is protected by experts and has killed several of our people."
It’s Lan Shu again!
Xuanyuan Lang's fists were clenched so tightly that they made a creaking sound.
He considered himself not to be a conceited person, but Lan Shu was too spineless. Even though he killed King Ying in front of him, he still thought Lan Shu was a despicable villain and did not take Lan Shu seriously at all.
People like Lan Shu have no regard for the interests of their country and family. Now that the city gates are wide open, Lan Shu should be thinking about escaping and saving his life.
But Lan Shu not only didn't run away, but also swaggered on the platform and played Yuexi's lullaby. This was simply a provocation and insult to him!
"I don't care what method you use, just kill him!"
"yes!"
As the music of the piano played, more and more Yuexi soldiers rushed towards the platform without caring about their lives.
Under the platform, corpses gradually piled up.
There were not only Yuexi soldiers, but also Zhaoling soldiers.
Unknowingly, there were fewer and fewer people around Lan Shu and Xiao Yechen.
Xiao Yechen's armor had already been soaked with blood, and he also had new wounds on his body.
Lan Shu couldn't help but speak up: "The overall outcome of this war has basically been decided. Is it necessary to sacrifice so many lives to capture Xuanyuan Lang?"
"Shut up and focus on your piano!"
Xiao Yechen scolded coldly and tore off the hem of his clothes to wrap around the wound on his arm.
There was also a cut on his face. The wound was quite deep, with blood and flesh flying around, and it looked hideous and terrifying.
Lan Shu couldn't help but say, "The wound on Pavilion Master's face will definitely leave a scar. Aren't you afraid that it will scare the young lady when you return?"
These words touched Xiao Yechen's reverse scale. The aura around Xiao Yechen suddenly changed, and he became more and more oppressive. At the same time, the sound of breaking through the air was heard, and a sharp arrow shot towards Lan Shu with unstoppable force.
Sensing danger, Lan Shu's hand trembled and he broke a string.
The strings made a humming sound, like a sad sob.
However, the arrow did not penetrate Lan Shu's head, but was kicked away by Xiao Yechen, changing its direction.
The arrow was packed with tremendous force, and it was obvious that Xuanyuan Lang had come in person.
Xiao Yechen stood in front of Lan Shu and ordered coldly, "Keep shooting. As long as I'm not dead, you won't die."
These words are quite touching.
Lan Shu raised his eyebrows and continued to pluck the strings regardless of his bleeding fingertips.
Xuanyuan Lang came with dozens of elite soldiers.
He had guessed that it was Lan Shu and Wei Lingze who secretly instigated the people in the city to open the city gates and join forces with the Zhaoling army.
The outcome of this battle is still undecided, and Xuanyuan Lang will never allow Lan Shu to provoke or shake the morale of the army here.
This person must die!
After Xuanyuan Lang fired that arrow, dozens of elite soldiers attacked the platform together. However, just as they approached the platform, countless sharp arrows flew through the air.
In addition to the soldiers that Xiao Yechen brought to the platform, there were also many people lying in ambush on the nearby rooftops.
Although Xuanyuan Lang brought elite soldiers, they were still unable to withstand the hail of arrows.
This was a blatant trap, using Lan Shu as bait to lure Xuanyuan Lang and the Yuexi soldiers to their deaths.
The people of Zhaoling are despicable!
Xuanyuan Lang gritted his teeth, but Lan Shu's singing voice could be heard from the high platform.
Lan Shu not only played the Yuexi lullaby, but also sang it in Yuexi dialect.
His pronunciation is very standard and his voice is good. This song has the power to soothe people's hearts when it comes from his mouth, but it is a great irony to Xuanyuan Lang's ears!
Xuanyuan Lang's eyes darkened, and he used his lightness skills to quickly fly towards the platform. The Yuexi elite soldiers below immediately cooperated tacitly, using their bodies as a ladder for Xuanyuan Lang and sending him to the platform.
The people around Xiao Yechen were also quite skilled. They rushed forward to try to stop him, but were all killed by Xuanyuan Lang.
Without any obstruction, Xuanyuan Lang immediately attacked Lan Shu.
Dark clouds covered the moon, and the blood-stained scimitar reflected the light of the surrounding torches, and came in front of Lan Shu with endless murderous aura. Lan Shu sang and played the piano without even blinking.
Xiao Yechen blocked Xuanyuan Lang's attack, forced Xuanyuan Lang back, and said solemnly: "Your opponent is me."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Yechen quickly drew his sword and started fighting with Xuanyuan Lang.
Xiao Yechen was injured and was still wearing the armor of a thousand-householder. Xuanyuan Lang saw that he did not hold a high position in the army and did not take him seriously. However, after fighting, he found that Xiao Yechen's moves were ruthless and extremely difficult to deal with. He immediately focused his attention on him, and at the same time could not help cursing in his heart.
During the previous winter hunt, Wei Lingze was of little use, but Shen Qingyuan showed up, and now another person showed up from nowhere. Is Zhaoling really so full of talented people?
The two were fighting to the point of no clear winner when suddenly a dull thunder was heard from a distance.
Xuanyuan Lang's heart sank.
It's going to rain. Isn't even God on his side?
Xuanyuan Lang was distracted for a moment, and Xiao Yechen seized the opportunity and stabbed him with a sword. Xuanyuan Lang dodged in time, but was still pierced in the left shoulder.
Xiao Yechen didn't give Xuanyuan Lang a chance to react. He twisted his wrist quickly and the sword stirred at Xuanyuan Lang's left shoulder.
A severe pain came over him, and Xuanyuan Lang swung his knife to cut off the sword in Xiao Yechen's hand, kicked him away, and then pounced on Lan Shu.
clang!
The guqin was cut in half, all the strings were broken, and the sound of the guqin and Lan Shu's singing came to an abrupt end.
At the same time, Xiao Yechen leaped up, picked up a sword from the ground, and stabbed it into Xuanyuan Lang's chest...
