Chapter 149: 69: A Single Rider Breaks Through Thousands (4K)
Buy me a winter?
Chu Zhongxing didn't react for a moment. When he saw Guo Xiaoding asking his men to fetch a heavy armor and solemnly put it on, his face changed slightly and he stepped forward to stop Guo Xiaoding: "General Guo!"
"No!"
"This is my destiny!"
Guo Xiaoding, wearing a black Xuanniao heavy armor, a helmet inside, and an iron helmet on his face, with only one eye exposed, walked around Chu Zhongxing.
He was born into a military family of the Di Shang Dynasty and fought for the Di Shang Dynasty all his life. Dying on the battlefield was the best ending for him.
Now that Yancheng is back on track, Chu Zhongxing continues to recruit subordinates to restore Yancheng's vitality. The supplies plundered from the Iltsk Oasis can also allow the soldiers under Chu Zhongxing to grow faster.
Yancheng is full of vitality and prosperity, and everything is developing towards a bright future.
Under such circumstances, Guo Xiaoding would naturally not allow anyone to disrupt it.
No matter why the remaining thousand cavalrymen from the Iltsk Oasis came to Yancheng to show off their power today, he, Guo Xiaoding, must tell him and tell the entire barbarian world.
The Northern Zhen Army of the Imperial Shang Dynasty has not been wiped out yet, and the northern border is still the territory of the Imperial Shang Dynasty!
If you want to take action against the Di Shang Dynasty and Yancheng, you should first consider whether your head can withstand the Mo Dao of me, Guo Xiaoding!
Guo Xiaoding did not jump down from the city wall, but walked down the wall step by step. He walked very slowly, but with every step he took, the spiritual energy on his body became more intense.
"General Guo!"
"Commander!"
"Master, take care!"
Guo Xiaoding walked down the stairs slowly. Every time he passed a white-haired soldier from Yancheng, none of them tried to stop him. They all watched him go down the stairs with serious expressions.
This is the responsibility of the Yancheng Town Beijun Army, their mission, and the meaning of their lives!
"I am Guo Xiaoding, General Zhongwu of the Imperial Shang Dynasty, and commander of the Yancheng Town Northern Army!"
Walking out of the gate of Yancheng, Guo Xiaoding rode on his warhorse. He held a Mo Dao in his hand and spoke in a low voice, as if he was talking to himself, or as if he was talking to the barbarians in the entire northern border.
The rich spiritual energy seemed to be substantial, completely enveloping Guo Xiaoding. Five kilometers away, He Lai, who had killed more than 20 players, suddenly narrowed his eyes when he saw Guo Xiaoding coming out of Yancheng alone.
"I am Guo Xiaoding, General Zhongwu of the Imperial Shang Dynasty, and commander of the Yancheng Town Northern Army!"
A low voice exploded in He Lai's ears, and He Lai, whose eyes were originally red, suddenly broke out in a cold sweat on his forehead. He looked at Guo Xiaoding, who was wrapped in heavy armor, and his heart was pounding.
"Military Soul? Is this old man trying to kill himself? He actually used the Military Soul!"
"Retreat, retreat quickly!"
"Spread out and run as far as you can!"
Yancheng Bishop Guo Xiaoding, to govern the country!
The three words "govern the country" made He Lai lose the will to resist. He was so majestic one second, but in the next second he turned around and fled like a stray dog.
The leader wanted to retreat, and the remaining thousand cavalrymen had no intention of fighting to the death. The moment Guo Xiaoding walked out of the city gate, they all turned around and wanted to evacuate.
"Northern Xinjiang, is it a place where you can come and go as you please?"
Guo Xiaoding's voice seemed to come from the underworld. He was completely wrapped in spiritual energy, and a black bird emerged from behind him. The black bird soared into the sky and attacked the thousand cavalry led by He Lai at a speed that was almost invisible to the naked eye.
The magical skill of the Emperor Shang’s military soul——[Black Bird Falling from the Sky]!
The school of soldiers is good at the magical power of battle formation. When performing battle formation, it can gather the strength of the soldiers under its command and maximize the abilities of the soldiers under its command.
And when the military faction enters the realm of governing the country, their battle formation will be condensed into the soul of the army.
The military soul is formed by the soldiers' beliefs and ideals.
Guo Xiaoding was not a man of extraordinary talent, but his military soul was the military soul of the army of the Shang Dynasty, and also the auspicious sign of the Shang Dynasty - the black bird.
The mysterious bird of destiny descends and gives birth to Shang!
The black bird crossed five kilometers in the blink of an eye and instantly swallowed up the cavalry who wanted to escape. As the black flames continued to jump, the cavalry swallowed by the bird instantly turned into ashes and merged with the dust of the northern border.
“Is this the real power to rule the country?”
“But in the mouth of Angel Su Mu, Guo Xiaoding is not the real ruling realm, but a fake realm!”
On the city wall, seeing Guo Xiaoding killing hundreds of soldiers with just one strike, there was an incredible light in his eyes.
It has been nearly four months since Chu Zhongxing came to this fantasy world. He has crossed from a commoner to a student and entered a self-cultivation realm. Although he has powers beyond ordinary people, he is like a baby compared to the terrifying magical powers of Guo Xiaoding in the state governance realm.
Before Guo Xiaoding showed his true strength, Chu Zhongxing always thought that Zhiguo Realm was nothing special. Especially after Su Mu said that Guo Xiaoding was a fake realm, he felt that Zhiguo Realm was not as terrifying as he had imagined.
But now, Chu Zhongxing was wrong, extremely wrong.
Judging from the abilities that Guo Xiaoding has demonstrated so far, they have the power to rule the country and turn the world upside down. It is no exaggeration to say that they are immortals on land.
"With a wave of the hand, he killed hundreds of enemies from five kilometers away with one strike. Is this how you govern a country?"
"What about the realm of pacifying the world above the realm of governing a country? Is there really someone who can pacify the world by himself?"
Chu Zhongxing didn't know, he only now realized how terrifying the high-level combat power was in this fantasy world.
Faced with thousands of attacking cavalry, the Qi family led by He Lai were like chickens and dogs and could not withstand a single blow in front of Guo Xiaoding who was trying his best to kill the enemy!
After the black bird devoured hundreds of cavalrymen again, it slowly landed on Guo Xiaoding. In an instant, the black bird's military soul turned into a continuously burning black flame, completely enveloping Guo Xiaoding.
Guo Xiaoding, holding a Mo Dao, turned into a phantom and charged into the enemy army. With blood splattering, in just a few sticks of incense, thousands of cavalrymen were slaughtered by Guo Xiaoding, leaving only one!
"Devil, devil, ahhh!"
The last barbarian who was left on his horse looked at Guo Xiaoding who was slowly approaching him. He was so frightened that his legs were shaking and he had forgotten about escaping.
puff!
Swing the knife and behead!
Not a single cavalryman escaped from Guo Xiaoding's hands. Even He Lai, who led more than a thousand cavalrymen to attack, was cut off his horse by Guo Xiaoding with one sword, and his body was separated.
Guo Xiaoding was holding a Mo Dao, like a god of war from hell. The players standing on the city wall watching the excitement were all shocked by Guo Xiaoding's strength. They stared at Guo Xiaoding, whose bloody smell was so strong, in amazement and rubbed their eyes hard.
The boss with the strongest emotions is the commander of Yancheng?
Guo Xiaoding rode his warhorse and slowly passed through the city gate. As the warhorse left bright red hoof prints, the surrounding players finally reacted.
"This, this, this is too strong, too strong. How long has it been? He alone has defeated thousands of people and slaughtered them all?"
"I didn't have any idea about the governance border before, but now I know what it means. It's like a human missile that can kill a group of enemies from five kilometers away."
"The boss is actually the commander?"
“Hiss, is this the true fantasy world? The realm of governing a country is so terrifying, what about the realm of pacifying the world above it? What about the realm of sagehood above it?”
"Great, great, this is the fantasy world I imagined. Brothers, my mind is full of shock now, I also want to be promoted to the realm of governing a country!"
"Damn, it was already exaggerated when Niu Bu was in the realm of self-cultivation before. His speed of eight steps to catch up with the moon was as fast as a cannonball. Now it seems that Niu Bu is just a baby." "The moment the black bird rose, I got goose bumps. It's so handsome, so handsome!"
"General Guo's lines are so domineering, I like them, so cool!"
"It's so exciting. Is Northern Xinjiang a place where you can come and go as you please?"
Guo Xiaoding killed thousands of cavalrymen swiftly and vigorously, shocking the players on the scene. Chu Zhongxing saw Guo Xiaoding returning safely and hurriedly walked down from the city wall to greet him.
"Congratulations, General Guo, on your triumphant return!"
Chu Zhongxing bowed to congratulate Guo Xiaoding. Guo Xiaoding, who was wearing heavy armor with only one eye exposed, just glanced at Chu Zhongxing. Without saying a word, he rode his warhorse straight towards the general's mansion.
"General Guo"
Chu Zhongxing's face suddenly became solemn. He hurriedly followed Guo Xiaoding and returned to the general's mansion with him. When the door of the general's mansion was closed, Guo Xiaoding coughed violently and then fell off his horse.
"General Guo!"
"Ahem, ahem, it's okay, it's okay"
Guo Xiaoding's voice was hoarse and weak, and Chu Zhongxing hurriedly helped Guo Xiaoding up. After helping Guo Xiaoding take off his armor, he found that Guo Xiaoding looked older and his breath was weaker than before.
Chu Zhongxing was silent for a long time before asking, "Is the price so high?"
"After all, it still can't resist the passage of time!"
Guo Xiaoding coughed heavily a few times. He had many hidden injuries on his body. The injuries from years of fighting had damaged his foundation. In addition, he was already half buried in the ground, and forcibly using the military spirit would cause too much damage to his body.
"General Guo defeated thousands of people on his own, and he is still as majestic as ever!" Chu Zhongxing admired him from the bottom of his heart, while Guo Xiaoding sighed heavily: "General Chu, the only time I can buy for you is this winter."
"I am an incompetent minister. I cannot intimidate the barbarians and defend the northern border!"
Guo Xiaoding's words made Chu Zhongxing look ashamed. If Guo Xiaoding was incompetent, what was he, Chu Zhongxing?
Without Guo Xiaoding, Chu Zhongxing might still be entangled with the barbarians in the Iltsk Oasis.
Without Guo Xiaoding, the thousand cavalrymen might have been able to break into the city.
Although there are 465 players in Yancheng at present, which is several times the number of Yancheng Town’s northern army, they are of little use. Yancheng is still guarded by veterans, and the Iltsk Oasis is still razed to the ground by veterans.
He, Chu Zhongxing, first arrived in Yancheng. He was ambitious, ambitious and full of confidence.
However, four months have passed, and although I can't say I have gained anything, it's almost the same.
"It's my incompetence. I shouted the slogan of retaking the northern border and returning to the imperial business, but in the past four months, I have done nothing!"
Chu Zhongxing couldn't help shaking his head, while Guo Xiaoding, who had taken off his heavy armor, smiled kindly:
“General Chu is overly self-blaming. In just four months, he not only recruited nearly 500 immortal soldiers, but his soldiers also advanced from commoners to the realm of self-cultivation.
Do you know what we old guys have done in four months? "
"kindness?"
“Hahaha, we old guys just passed the Five Training Methods in four months.”
Four months is nothing compared to the long 81 years in the northern border.
But just in these short four months, not only did Chu Zhongxing himself enter the realm of self-cultivation, but even the soldiers under his command also entered the realm of self-cultivation from common people.
Such an exaggerated and terrifying speed has never been heard of or seen before.
"Too slow, still too slow!"
Chu Zhongxing shook his head, feeling that everything was still too slow.
After razing the Iltsk Oasis and before more than a thousand cavalrymen attacked the city, Chu Zhongxing did not feel the urgency of time, because the city of Yan where he was located was almost forgotten by the barbarians in the northern border, and he could develop peacefully.
But now, the development of the situation has exceeded Chu Zhongxing's expectations. Chu Zhongxing originally intended to use the Iltsk Oasis to continuously hone the players and allow them to grow quickly.
Then, while the players are growing, he launches activities to stimulate the players' emotions, quickly harvest energy, speed up the upgrade of the Tongtian Divine Tree, and expand the player group.
But Chu Zhongxing did not expect that in a small Iltsk oasis, there was not only the angel Su Mu, but also the farmer's official Xu Zhiyuan who was imprisoned in the dungeon.
Everything changed after Xu Zhiyuan was sent to the general's mansion and after Guo Xiaoding said that a scholar could be killed but not humiliated.
The Iltsk Oasis was razed to the ground by Guo Xiaoding's army. The leader of the Iltsk Oasis led more than a thousand cavalrymen to Yancheng to show off their power, but they were defeated by Guo Xiaoding alone and all of them were slaughtered.
Of course, Guo Xiaoding's duty was to guard the northern border, but thousands of cavalry were slaughtered and no one survived, which meant that Yancheng, which had been silent for more than ten years and almost forgotten by the barbarians, once again entered the vision of the eighteen tribes in the northern border.
Just as Guo Xiaoding said, perhaps after the spring, the barbarian army will arrive at the city and flatten the last city in the northern border, Yancheng!
There are only a little over three months left, and Chu Zhongxing only has three months left.
Three months later, spring is coming, and Chu Zhongxing must be able to survive the siege of the barbarians in the northern border.
“It’s time to change strategy”
Looking at the extremely weak old general Guo Xiaoding, Chu Zhongxing's eyes were extremely complicated.
If Guo Xiaoding had not insisted on going his own way and personally conquered the Iltsk Oasis and razed it to the ground, and if General Guo had not slaughtered more than a thousand cavalrymen, perhaps Chu Zhongxing would not have been in such a passive position.
Chu Zhongxing can also develop slowly and recruit players slowly to expand the player group.
But now, everything has changed.
He respects, esteems and admires Guo Xiaoding.
Although Guo Xiaoding has put Chu Zhongxing in a rather passive position now, Chu Zhongxing does not intend to blame Guo Xiaoding.
If Chu Zhongxing were in Guo Xiaoding's position, he would do the same!
"It's just facing the barbarians of the entire northern border. What's there to be afraid of?"
"There are only eighteen tribes in the northern border. Even if an all-out war breaks out, what is there to fear?"
When Chu Zhongxing thought of the worst outcome, which was to die fighting alongside the old generals, he suddenly felt his blood boiling.
Before, he was too timid and cowardly, always thinking about developing peacefully. Even when declaring war on the barbarians, he let the players play freely and fight on their own, while he hid in the General's Mansion in Yancheng.
Now, it's time to change strategy.
He wanted to let the barbarians in the northern border know that the people of this northern border were named Chu!
