Sword Xia of the Shu Mountains Chapter 38: Encounter with white tiger

In order to sever the connection between the Ming Dynasty and the western region, Potokin led the army to destroy the Yeerqiang Khanate, a vassal of the western part of the Ming Dynasty. The Yerkian Khanate is located in the west of the Ming Dynasty, bordering the Uli Zangdusi of the Ming Dynasty. In order to completely isolate the Ming Dynasty in the north, Potokin destroyed the Oara tribe, the Tatar tribe and the Nuergandusi Jurchen tribe. When challenging the Ming Dynasty, he ordered the Yeerqiang Khanate to be dispatched and finally destroyed the Yerkiang. At this time, Boduo Jinzheng led the army and launched a general attack on Daning City, northeast of the capital; at this moment, outside the city gate of Daning City, Xing Tianzheng led a group of people dressed in black armor, holding shields and silver swords. The soldiers with bows and arrows, as well as monsters, attacked in the direction of the gate of Daning City. Among the troops who came to attack the city, there were also a group of cavalry riding on monsters similar to Coelophysis. There are also huge giant tortoises that follow the team. Although these giant tortoises march very slowly, their combat strength should not be underestimated. They all carry a giant double-barreled gun on their backs, which can eject two huge guns. The incomparable fireball is a thousand times more powerful than the red-clothed cannons equipped by the Ming Dynasty army; the four guardian laws of the purple dragon, the white tiger, the peacock, and the snake tortoise are behind Xingtian, waiting for the orders given by Potokin; In the infantry team, there are Mongolians and Jurchens, all of them have been enchanted by Xingtian to become immortal, their minds and souls have also been completely erased from Xingtian's mind and memory, and they have become a group of people who only know how to fight and kill the enemy. Only controlled by Xingtian alone, a walking corpse without thoughts and consciousness.

Faced with these monsters they have never seen before, most of the soldiers of the Ming army guarding Daning City were very timid. Cowardly, but a tough guy, his name is Xiong Tingbi. Although he is only 21 years old this year, he has already fought hundreds of battles. He still has a lot of experience in defending the city gate. When he saw a soldier who was so frightened by the enemy, he gave the After throwing it away, he quickly and unceremoniously slapped the soldier and reprimanded

"Pick up the gun for me"

Then the soldier who was beaten picked up the fire gun obediently; then, Xiong Tingbi stood at the height of the city wall and said to the soldiers guarding the city under his command

"Brothers, don't panic, there is nothing to fear from the demons in the demon world. Our Ming army is well-equipped and they may not be our opponents; we have red cannons, and we have firearms. Don't be afraid, brothers, let them experience the true power of my Ming army"

The red-clothed cannon and the Franco machine are excellent weapons purchased from Spain, Portugal, and the Netherlands by Chang Lingyun, who spent a lot of money to equip the defending troops of the Ming Dynasty; It must be the origin, because it is a new weapon invented by the inventor of the Ming Dynasty on the basis of the arquebus used by the Spanish musketeers. A new type of weapon designed by his successor Guo Xiaochuan based on the design drawings drawn during his lifetime, and then let his successor Guo Xiaochuan restore the structure of the drawings; Unlike the bullets in ordinary muskets, the bullets loaded in ordinary muskets are round bullets made of lead, while the bullets used in the pull bolt invented by Zhuge Wudi are made of metal, and its warhead is made of metal. It is not round but pointed, which increases the penetration and range of the fire gun. The muzzle of the pull-shut fire gun is 6.5 mm caliber and can be loaded with five bullets in total. When firing, just pull the gun away. The bolt on the face then pushes the pointed bullet to the barrel, then uses the right eye to aim at the target, and then pulls the trigger to hit the target; this is somewhat similar to the three-eighth cover used by the Japanese more than 200 years later. After the La Shuan fire gun came out, Chang Lingyun set up the Wang Gong factory in the capital, the firearms factory of Daming Shenji Camp. Guo Xiaochuan was in charge of the factory and produced a large number of pull bolt fire guns to equip Ming Dynasty firearms. soldier.

After Xiong Tingbi just finished saying these words, these demon soldiers in Potokin, who were wearing the flag of the Yuan Dynasty and under the banner of "Anti-Ming Fuyuan", had already begun to approach the city gate, just two meters away from the city gate. At the same time, Xiong Tingbi asked the archers defending the city to fire rockets at them

"Shoot rockets and kill them all"

As a result, the soldiers on the city gate began to shoot rockets at the magic soldiers below the city gate, and the rockets poured down like raindrops in a short time; however, at this time, the snakes in the magic soldiers team Turtle suddenly waved the cane in his hand, and then pointed to the sky, forming a transparent shield in mid-air, blocking all the rockets that were shot down from the shield. After seeing this scene, Xiong Tingbi said angrily

"Damn, shoot me a red cannon and kill them"

As a result, all the red-clothed cannons on the city gate spewed red tongues of flame, and fired several solid shells at the demon soldiers under the gate, but the shells disappeared out of thin air just after hitting the protective cover; At that time, Xiong Tingbi was very anxious when he saw that the rockets and cannons were of no use to those demon soldiers. However, just as he was anxious, the double-barreled artillery on the back of the giant tortoise instantly shot out two huge fireballs that were blazing. , Bombed all the Ming Dynasty soldiers on the city wall, and Xiong Tingbi himself was almost killed. Fortunately, he was saved by the rescue of a young soldier; A young soldier quickly put down the bow and arrow in his hand, and flew towards Xiong Tingbi, who was only one meter away from the explosion of the shell. Ask the young archer

"What's your name?"

The boy replied

"My name is Yuan Chonghuan"

After listening to the boy's answer, Xiong Tingbi remembered this name forever in his heart

"Okay, I remember your name, thank you for your kindness, and I will definitely repay it in the future; this city can't be defended anymore, Yuan Chonghuan, I order you to organize other soldiers to retreat as soon as possible"

"Yes"

At this time, under the city gate of Daning City, the giant tortoises were still shooting fireballs at the city wall, sweeping away the Ming soldiers on the city wall, but Yuan Chonghuan was still in danger at such a critical juncture. Organized the retreat of the remaining soldiers who were not killed, so that all the Ming soldiers on the wall were safely evacuated into the city; then, two huge fireballs ejected from the back of one of the giant tortoises hit the city gate, The entire city gate was blasted open, and the demon soldiers poured into the gate as if they had been beaten with blood; at this time, Xing Tian raised his Axe of the God of War and ordered the swarming demon soldiers

"Kill the enemy in the city without leaving a piece of armor"

At this time, Xiong Tingbi finally ran out of the city gate under the cover of the soldier Yuan Chonghuan, and finally recovered a small life. After leaving Daning City, Xiong Tingbi led his remnants of defeated soldiers and retreated all the way west towards Kaipingwei. After the occupation of Daning City, Potokin ordered to kill all the remaining Ming soldiers in the city, and the city turned into a purgatory on earth for a while. The demon soldiers were expressionless, not even blinking their eyes. After occupying Daning City, Bo Duojin found the traces of Chang Lingyun's army in the tent with a universal mirror. He pointed to the direction of Chang Lingyun's army and said to Ziyan, Xingtian and the four guardians

"Look, Chang Lingyun's army is gathering in the direction of Kaiping Guard. It seems that he wants to enter Kaiping Guard first to rest and then recover Daning City"

After listening to Potokin's words, Xing Tian said

"That's right, Chang Lingyun has been leading the army out of the capital for several days now, presumably his soldiers are already exhausted and need to rest"

At this time, Ziyan said to Potokin

"Heavenly Emperor, this is a good time for us to kill Chang Lingyun. We can take advantage of his army's lack of time to rest and destroy his army in the middle of the road"

Potokin did not agree with her proposal

"This is not good. We have just won Daning City, and the soldiers are already exhausted. We also need to rest and should not go out again"

At this time, the female general Baihu, standing beside Potokin, said

"Don't worry, Heavenly Emperor, I alone can kill Chang Lingyun's army and bring Chang Lingyun's head to you"

"Are you really that sure?"

Potokin looked up, glanced at the white tiger and said to her

"I heard that he is your defeated general, and I think his strength is not very good. Leave this task to me to complete"

After listening to Baihu's words, Peacock said

"Do you want me to accompany you?"

"No, I can do it alone"

After speaking, the white tiger continued to say to Potokin

"Emperor, my subordinates say goodbye"

After speaking, she turned into a red lightning and disappeared without a trace.

At this time, Chang Lingyun was still leading his army to march in the direction of Kaipingwei; suddenly, a red light appeared in the sky above his army's head. A beautiful girl in white tiger skin appeared in midair, she was the white tiger, one of the four new guardians of the devil world

"What kind of evildoer did you sign up for?"

Chang Lingyun raised his head on horseback and asked the white tiger suspended in midair, but the white tiger sneered dismissively

"Hehe, you're already a dying person, it's okay to tell you, so that you know who killed you; listen to me, I'm the new guardian white tiger under the Demon King Potokin, One of the four dissidents of the **** of war Xingtian, today I am ordered by the emperor of heaven to take your dog's life."

However, Chang Lingyun was not frightened by this intimidation of the white tiger at all. He calmly got off the horse, took out Lingyun's sword and pointed at the white tiger above his head

"It turns out that the devil Potokin really brought Xingtian back to life. Since you are one of Xingtian's capable people, I really want to see your strength. Feel free to let it go."

After listening to Chang Lingyun's words, Baihu glanced contemptuously at Chang Lingyun, who was standing below her, pointed his sword at her, and sneered again

"Hehe, you can't even beat our Heavenly Emperor, what qualifications do you have to challenge me? I think you'd better admit defeat and cut off your head for me if you are wise, otherwise I will make you die miserably"

"Don't talk so much nonsense now, if you want my Chang Lingyun's head, just come and take it, but then see if you can beat me"

After speaking, Chang Lingyun jumped, flew up into the sky, clenched Lingyun's sword, and stabbed Baihu on the body. Baihu quickly turned two red steel whips in her hands, resisting Chang Lingyun's attack; Then the two entangled and fought in mid-air. During the fight, Chang Lingyun skillfully and flexibly used the "Shushan Nei Gong Xin Fa" to improve their skills, making the moves and mental methods integrated into one and constantly attacking the white tiger, making the white tiger In the process of parrying Chang Lingyun's attack, she had no room to fight back. After she had just received Chang Lingyun's more than 20 moves, she did a backflip and immediately retreated to the side, thinking to herself

"This kid is so powerful in martial arts, so why did he lose in the hands of the Emperor of Heaven?"

But Chang Lingyun didn't give her time to guess. He let the Lingyun sword float behind him, and then used two hands to draw a circular pattern to create tens of thousands of Lingyun swords to surround himself with the sword. A loud shout in the middle

"Wan Jian Gui Zong"

Then, the tens of thousands of Lingyun swords that were transformed shot towards the white tiger like a flowing arrow. Before she had time to parry all the Lingyun swords, two Lingyun swords suddenly passed through her chest before she could react; after a sharp pain, the white tiger fell from mid-air to the ground. on her body, and the wound on her body healed miraculously, because she has long since become an immortal body that is indestructible. No matter how big the injury is, the wound can heal automatically within three seconds. After the white tiger fell to the ground, he stood up strong, stretched out his steel whip and pointed at Chang Lingyun's doubtful question

"How can your martial arts improve so quickly?"

Chang Lingyun replied

"Our Shushan School's inner strength is so broad and profound, how can it be understood by your demons?"

"Could it be that in just a few short years, you have achieved such a high level of martial arts by relying on the internal skills of the Shushan School?"

"That's right, I'm not what I used to be now. You go back and report this situation to your master Potokin. I, Chang Lingyun, are always ready to fight"

In a short while, the white tiger turned into a red light and disappeared without a trace; and this situation, Potokin has already understood clearly through the universal mirror, when the white tiger fell from the sky and flew back to Potokin's tent When the

"The Emperor of Heaven, the White Tiger is incompetent, proud and underestimated the enemy and failed to take down Chang Lingyun, please punish the Emperor of Heaven"

After listening to Baihu's words, Potokin said

"I have seen what you said. The current Chang Lingyun is indeed different from the former Chang Lingyun, and you certainly wouldn't have expected him to become so powerful. It's not your fault. Get up. bar”

After the white tiger got up and stood up, Potokin asked Xingtian

"Master God of War, why do you think he has become so powerful just by practicing the inner strength method"

After listening to Potokin's words, Xing Tian replied

"The Taoist priests in the Immortal Realm usually focus on the cultivation of internal skills. The higher the internal skills, the stronger the strength will become. I think your senior brother must have expected this, so he taught him the internal skills in advance. You used to be a disciple of the Shushan School, you should know how important internal skills are to cultivators."

"Since I have joined the demon world, I don't want to mention the old things"

Potokin knew in his heart some of his disgraceful memories in the Shushan School, so he was reluctant to mention those disgraceful things to him

"Master God of War, can you tell us what we should do next?"

"The next step is to attack Kaipingwei. After winning Kaipingwei, the capital of the Ming Dynasty will be ours; Chang Lingyun's army must have entered Kaipingwei now, and tomorrow we will march in the direction of Kaipingwei and join forces. attack it"

At this time, as expected by Xingtian, the army led by Chang Lingyun had entered the Kaiping Guard and was resting.
