Tome of Troubled Times Chapter 521: No luck

Chapter 521 No luck

Puyang.

"Boom!" The stones hit the city wall, the city bricks shattered and flew, and the surrounding soldiers quickly dispersed into a mess.

The stone rolled and was about to fall on a soldier. Purple energy surged around him, and a palm hit the stone, blasting it into pieces.

The soldier just recovered from the shock and saluted and thanked him: "Thank you, young general."

Cui Yuanyong waved his hand and shouted: "Let go!"

"Swish, swish, swish!" Countless boulders fell inside the city and outside the city. There were several loud "clang" sounds, and the approaching rush car was smashed to pieces.

Some of them were hit incorrectly and fell on the soldiers, smashing them into pulp.

Countless soldiers are still swarming in, and all kinds of siege equipment are desperately pushing down the city.

Looking from the top of the city, arrows were like locusts, boulders were falling randomly, and thousands of horses and troops were coming like a tide below. Cui Yuanyong had a very detached feeling, as if this was not the battlefield he was on, but a bird's eye view from a high altitude.

This is not like back in Yanmen, where I didn’t give myself a chance to get excited. Now he is the commander-in-chief and is responsible for all defense commands. He needs to be absolutely calm. Any wrong choice may lead to unacceptable results.

As early as the decisive battle in Kuaiji in the south, Wang Zhaoling intended to go south. After Cui Yuanyong's troops pressed Puyang to put pressure on the Wang family, he never went back. My father didn't take any chances. He knew that once the Wang family rebelled, this would be the first pass on the Western Front. Therefore, he continued to increase troops and manage the city's defense. The defense here was almost the strongest in the civil war.

Cui Yuanyong once thought that since Puyang was so difficult to chew, the Wang family would probably not choose this route. Facts have proved that his father's prediction was the most correct. The Wang family's nature meant that it was meaningless to attack the south. Taking advantage of the Cao Gang's troubles in the south, the Tang family could not interfere in the affairs of the north for the time being. They would go directly north to capture the capital. Maybe the whole world would have a chance to spread the word.

The capital is in the north. If the Wang family wants to go to the capital, the first thing they have to pass is the Cui family. King Cui's marriage originally had some meaning in this regard. If both parties joined forces, they could basically march directly to the capital.

But now Cui Wen Z doesn’t want to join forces, he doesn’t even do the family-swinging basics of “pretend to resist but actually give way to the Wang family to sneak past”, showing the full resistance of the carriages and horses. There are also some criticisms within the Cui family. They think Cui Wen Z's actions leave the Cui family with no way out and are very inappropriate.

But no one can say anything. Cui Wen Z’s determination in this matter surprised even his own wife. It doesn’t feel like Cui Wen Z at all.

Cui Yuanyong remembered what he had asked his father before: "Father said that in the world of gods and demons, there are also families of gods and demons. Even if gods and demons rule the world, it is essentially the same as when barbarians enter the country. Why this time? Such a determined and proper Daxia Zhongliang..."

My father's answer was: "When the barbarians enter the pass, the worst you can do is shave your hair and change your clothes and change your customs. The Cui family will still be there. Even other gods and demons, as long as they still need to survive in the human world, you and I are valuable." Only the sea tribe is different... because they live in the sea and don't need land. I really don't know what their specific purpose is. I only need to know that their living conditions are different from ours, and I know that I can't have any expectations. A fluke."

After speaking, he repeated and emphasized: "You can't take any chances."

Cui Yuanyong took a deep breath, raised his sword high, and loudly ordered: "Get ready to roll the stone!"

"Boom!" The car rushed straight to the city gate, braving rocks and arrows.

The huge boulder rolled down, smashing people and cars to pieces.

Cui Yuanyong looked up at the sky, but it was still difficult to focus on the battlefield. I believe the same was true for Wang Zhaoling under the city... Because the outcome of this battle was not so much about the battlefield command, but the outcome of the Tianbang battle.

Wang Daoning must have fought in person in the first battle in order to build momentum. If he was beaten back in the first battle, it would be a big deal in the world. He was bound to win. No matter how good the city defense is, it can't stop the Tianbang from ascending first. Breaking the gap is just like playing for fun.

But Wang Daoning has not shown up yet. There is no other reason except that his father may be here too.

…………

On the bank of Pu River, Wang Daoning and Cui Wenz stood side by side facing the river, like old friends reunited after a long separation, looking at the scenery.

The two of them were silent for half an hour.

The distant cry of killing could be heard faintly, which inexplicably made the sound of water flowing in front of me feel quiet.

"The deceased is like a man, never giving up day and night." Wang Daoning looked at the water flow and finally said softly: "How many years have you and I known each other?"

Cui Wen Z said: "When I was 16 years old, I left home to study and had a fight with Meng Ku Wenji... It has been thirty years now."

The so-called "Old Cui" is actually only forty-six.

"Today is the Pu River again, well, although the river section is different." Wang Daoning smiled "ha": "Sometimes when I think about it, it seems that God's will is mysterious."

Cui Wen Z said calmly: "You don't have to come. What you do is God's will."

Wang Daoning shook his head: "When I went to Qinghe as a guest a few years ago, your attitude was not like this. Although you have always been leaning towards Xia Longyuan, you still scolded Xia Longyuan for doing many things that were inappropriate, and you were also suspicious. Qinghe Jian was tricked by him, and he scolded him that if he continues to act in the opposite direction, Daxia will be overthrown sooner or later... This is all what you said. I still remember your words today, and I am very confused by your choice today. "

Cui Wen? Z said: "When you take action against the Yang family's Lianshan sword, you and I are destined to separate. This is the bottom line. You are shaking the foundation of the tacit understanding of each family. No matter how bad Xia Longyuan is, he has left a bottom line. That."

"Is that why?"

"That's why."

"What if I make a promise to you?"

"Sorry, I don't believe it." Cui Wen Z said lightly: "I'm not even sure whether the Wang Daoning who is talking to me now is partly the real Wang Daoning and partly someone else."

Wang Daoning smiled: "No one can control me."

Cui Wen Z said: "Shi Wuding thinks so too."

Anyone from Tianbang who has seen Shi Wuding will know that there is something different about his soul. Cui Wenzi knew it, and so did Wang Daoning.

Wang Daoning said: "Do you think my image is uncertain?"

Cui Wen Z glanced at him: "I don't know, but I don't take chances. If there is something that can make you other than you, then I don't think I can see it. The triple secret is far from the end. , you and I both know.”

"Since you have completely lost trust in me, there is really no way to talk."

"There is no need to talk about it."

"But you are no match for me, Wen Z. We have always been on par with each other, but my Zhenhai Sword has recovered, while your Qinghe Sword is still half-dead."

Cui Wen Z smiled: "Maybe. But you are not sure that you will not get hurt, so you are trying to make a final persuasion."

Wang Daoning said slowly: "But you will die."

Cui Wen Z's smile became even brighter: "If I die and you come back seriously injured, then the outcome will depend on Yuan Yong and Zhao Ling... If you and I sing, it will be their time to appear in this world. ”

There was a bit of pride in Cui Wen Z's smile that made Wang Daoning feel helpless.

If the older generation withdraws from the world stage and young people from all over the world come on stage, then a character who will make their peers breathless will immediately flash through everyone's mind - the book of troubled times just said, after my flowers bloom, hundreds of flowers will bloom. kill.

This man is Lao Cui's son-in-law, although he is not married yet.

But I have to say that Cui Wen Z's determination inevitably touched Wang Daoning's heart.

After knowing each other for thirty years, it was the first time I saw this old fox in such a decisive moment, "taking no chances", the family's future is more important than his life.

When such a person becomes a roadblock, it really gives anyone a headache.

Wang Daoning finally gave up the persuasion and slowly drew out the Zhenhai Sword: "Brother Cui, let you and I finish the unfinished battle thirty years ago."

The Qinghe Sword automatically unsheathed itself and circled around Cui Wen Z: "Please."

"Boom!" There was thunder in the sky and heavy rain poured down.

Wang Zhaoling had to suspend the siege on the battlefield, so he could not climb the city.

But it is clear that it will not rain in today's weather. There is no other reason for this sudden heavy rain. It can only be caused by the battle of Tianbang, which touches the weather.

The Wang family's Pai Tian Zhen Hai and the Cui family's Purple Qi Qing River are both related to water. When they are opposite, there will be heavy rain.

Above and below the city, Cui Yuanyong and Wang Zhaoling looked across the battlefield, their hearts tightening at the same time.

A hundred miles away to the south, the sky was clear and crisp. Three thousand Blood God believers galloped across the plains. Looking at the dark clouds in the distance, they were all shocked: "Why is there rain in this weather?"

Zhao Changhe took the lead and left the team like crazy: "You are preparing to attack the Wang family's flanks, Lao Xue has full command, don't worry about me!"

"Boom!" Huge lightning flashed across the sky, illuminating the entire field in white. The clouds turned into purple gas, and it was hard to tell whether it was lightning or sword light.
