Chapter 122: Double Swords Across the Sky, Heaven and Earth Turn Upside Down
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The roar that was loud enough to burst a person's eardrums was still echoing in Shirakawa Castle.

The situation in Shirakawa Castle at this time can only be described as miserable.

Huge cracks have appeared on the city walls that stand on all four sides, and the scene inside the city can be clearly seen through the cracks.

From a distance, Shirakawa Castle no longer looked like a city wall, but instead looked more like broken walls.

The city wall, which was full of gaps, was constantly shaking back and forth under the bombardment of countless soldiers and several large formations, and it seemed that it might collapse at any time.

Above the city wall, below the city wall, any area that could be seen by the eyes was stained with blood.

With just one glance, you can instantly understand how brutal this battle is.

The sky above the city wall has been completely occupied by the three-party formation.

But if you look closely, you can still see the flickering patterns in the array.

It was obvious that the defenders on the city wall were still holding on.

However, from this situation, it can be seen that even if several people use their full strength, they will not be able to hold on for too long.

It is only a matter of time before the formation or even the city is broken.

"Luo Cheng, how are you?"

Qin Shubao spoke hoarsely, his appearance had changed drastically by now.

The armor on his body had long been stained with blood, and there were several hideous wounds on his chest and abdomen.

His face was extremely pale and his eyes were full of fatigue.

"I can still hold on." Luo Cheng licked his cracked lips and spoke slowly.

But judging from his appearance, he is obviously not much better than Qin Shubao.

The original color of the silver armor has long been unrecognizable.

The right hand holding the spear had turned purple because of too much force.

Qin Shubao did not ask any more questions. In fact, by this point in the fight, they all knew each other's situation.

The enemy troops kept coming, and there was a large formation to support them.

It is impossible to stop the enemy just by relying on soldiers fighting for their lives.

Therefore, all the generals in the army, including him and Luo Cheng, had already joined the battle.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to persist until now.

But even so, in its current situation, Shirakawa Castle is already on the verge of collapse.

Several people were injured.

He raised his forehead, looked at the shaking city wall, and glanced into the distance.

A deep worry flashed across Qin Shubao's eyes.

How could he not see the situation if ordinary people could see it clearly?

With such a fierce bombardment, the four city walls could not withstand it for long.

In fact, at this time, enemies had already poured in through the cracks blasted out by the city walls on all four sides.

They had to continuously withdraw troops from the city to barely plug the gaps.

But as time goes by, this gap is undoubtedly increasing and getting bigger.

Once the surrounding city walls collapse completely, it will probably be time for the enemy to launch a full-scale attack.

By then, Murong Baoding, Zhong Liang, and even Qi Shence, who had been motionless, would probably rush up. On their side, he, Luo Cheng, and even some other deputy generals were already injured. It is easy to imagine what would happen then.

"Brother Gao, where are you?"

Luo Cheng's face turned pale, and he murmured something.

At this point, even he couldn't help but show despair in his eyes.

Now, it only took a blink of an eye for Shirakawa Castle to be breached.

At this point, Gao Changsheng had not yet shown up. In this situation, they had no choice but to panic.

If it's any later, it might be too late.

Luo Cheng raised his eyes and looked around.

It’s a pity that in the slightly blurred vision, all I could see were densely packed enemy troops, and the figure I wanted to see did not appear.

"Card wipe!"

At this moment, the formation pattern that was held above their heads by the two men and was getting darker and darker suddenly shook, and a crisp breaking sound was heard.

Luo Cheng and Qin Shubao groaned at the same time.

But the two had no time to care about the situation inside their bodies, and instead looked into the distance in fear.

Under the successive attacks of the three major formations, the military formation that had been barely maintaining itself was finally completely shattered.

Almost at the same time.

The city walls that had been shaking continuously could no longer withstand the attack and collapsed with a loud bang.

The huge sound, like a wailing, resounded through the sky, and at the same time hit the two people's hearts heavily.

The battle formation was broken and the city wall collapsed.

Everyone knows what this means.

"Hahaha, okay, okay!"

"The turtle shell has finally been broken. All troops, follow me and charge. I will take Gao Changsheng's head with my own hands." Murong Baoding shouted loudly, his face full of joy.

"Charge, charge with all your troops! Gao Changsheng's head belongs to us, and we must not let Murong Baoding get there first." Zhong Liang on the other end also shouted loudly.

"Kill, break through Baichuan, and surround and kill Gao Changsheng." In the Liyang formation, Qi Shence roared without lagging behind.

For them, the fate of Shirakawa Castle was sealed the moment the city wall fell.

If it were any other time, they would not have needed to be so anxious. They could have slowly worn down, divided and strangled the defenders who had lost the protection of the city walls.

But it was obvious that the three of them gave the order for the general attack almost at the same time.

After all, that was Gao Changsheng, and his head was a huge temptation for any general.

Anyone who could kill this man with his own hands would instantly become famous throughout the world.

Becoming famous in one battle, who can resist the temptation of a general?

"The city is about to be broken..."

Looking at the slowly collapsing city wall, Luo Cheng, Qin Shubao and Deputy General Li, who had gathered together, all showed expressions of despair.

"call……"

Qin Shubao let out a long breath and said in a hurry: "In this situation, the city is doomed to be lost."

"Gather the cavalry in the city. We will each lead a unit and break out with all our might."

"Take advantage of the moment when the enemy is attacking with all their strength, seize the opportunity, and perhaps you will have a chance to break out."

"This is our last fight. We will all attack at the same time, hoping to get out. As long as we are alive, there is hope. If we are lucky and someone can escape, we will have a chance to follow the Marshal and avenge us."

Lieutenant General Li covered his injured left arm and shook his head, saying, "My strength is not as good as yours, so I definitely can't get out."

"General Luo, you are the best at cavalry and have enough strength. You have the best chance of getting out among the three of us."

"I will give you the three thousand strongest cavalrymen in my hands, and I will also select the strongest cavalrymen from the Zuowu Guard and let you lead them."

"General Qin and I will cover you. You charge with all your strength and don't worry about anything else. When you get out, find the Marshal and avenge us." Lieutenant General Li shouted in a deep voice.

Qin Shubao's eyes also lit up and he nodded repeatedly.

"Hahaha, joke."

Luo Cheng couldn't help but laugh when he heard this: "How could I, Luo Cheng, be the kind of person who is afraid of death."

"Even if I can really get out, I won't be able to face Brother Gao."

"Luo Cheng." Qin Shubao spoke urgently.

"Cousin, you don't have to persuade me anymore." Luo Cheng waved his hand firmly.

"Everyone knows what a breakout is. It's just a matter of hoping for God's blessing."

"The enemy is well prepared. It's not easy for us to escape. If we divide our forces like this, it will be easier for us to defeat them one by one."

"Humph!"

At this point, Luo Cheng snorted coldly: "Since we have come this far, let's just unite our forces and fight them."

"It's nothing more than a death. It's not that easy to wipe us out so easily. Even if I die, I'll break a few of their front teeth."

After saying that, he looked at the two of them again and smiled again, "But there is one thing you said, you are right, Brother Gao will definitely avenge us. These bastards will not be able to escape, one by one."

"Haha, okay, then let's fight them." Lieutenant General Li laughed out loud.

"Okay, let's fight to the death." Qin Qiong also put his worries aside and shouted loudly.

"Hahaha, are you going to fight to the death? Unfortunately, it's just a death struggle."

The changes in the distance caught Murong Baoding's attention at the first moment, and he sneered at the first sound.

"Come on, I want to see what tricks you, Gao Changsheng, can use at this point."

There was contempt in his voice.

In the battle of Shirakawa Castle up to now, he has not seen any brilliant points in Gao Changsheng.

From the beginning to the end, the large formation in the city was suppressed by them, and there was never even a sign of a counterattack.

"General Dong wanted to personally command the operation, but now it seems that there is no need for that."

"Haha, Gao Changsheng, you have such a great reputation, but I didn't expect that you are actually not worthy of the reputation!"

"It seems that the Goguryeo War might have been the work of Yang Linyujuluo, but the blame was shifted to him."

"It's really ridiculous that Hong Jingyan fell to such an opponent."

Murong Baoding laughed loudly.

But he didn't notice that above the ruins of Baichuan City in the distance, the array pattern that had completely dimmed and disappeared suddenly began to glow faintly again. "Hmm?"

"Why does this king suddenly feel an ominous feeling in his heart?"

On the other side, Zhao Sui, the King of Jiaodong, who had been staying under the banner as a mascot, suddenly frowned.

Looking up, I saw that the Imperial Guards, led by Qi Shence, had all rushed forward.

No matter from which perspective you look at it, the situation is now one-sided.

But for some reason, he always felt a little panic in his heart.

"boom!"

That's the time.

There was a loud tremor in Shirakawa Castle in the distance.

A huge array pattern suddenly emitted bright light and slowly rose up like the rising sun.

"The Left Guard Formation!"

"Gao Changsheng!"

"Brother Gao!"

"Commander!"

Exclamations came from both camps almost simultaneously.

Murong Baoding, Zhong Liang, Qi Shence, Qin Shubao, Luo Cheng and others exclaimed involuntarily at the same time.

However, the emotions of the two sides were obviously very different. One side was full of doubts and even some panic, while the other side was almost crazy with joy.

"This formation..."

Murong Baoding's pupils shrank almost instantly.

He was not someone who didn't know the value of things. The moment the formation was released, ordinary people could sense the difference between the two formations, not to mention him who knew a lot about military affairs.

"It wasn't Gao Changsheng who set up the formation before?"

Murong Baoding frowned for a moment, but soon relaxed again.

"Is this the back-up plan? Ridiculous!"

"What if you attack now? At this point, I don't believe that you, Gao Changsheng, can still go against the will of heaven. This is nothing more than a last gasp."

Murong Baoding sneered, then controlled the formation above his head and pressed forward.

On the other side, Zhong Liang and Qi Shence also made the same moves one after another.

Three formations appeared in the sky and pressed down towards the Wuwei formation at the same time.

The same operation has been done before, but this time, the result is completely different.

The Wuwei formation that was slowly rising into the air was not suppressed. Instead, it seemed to be stimulated and became more and more dazzling and larger.

In an instant, it seemed as if the entire sky was shaking.

The three main generals on the opposite side all looked gloomy at the same time, especially Murong Baoding who had just made a bold statement, his expression was extremely ugly.

"Good, good, good!"

Although no one heard what he said just now, being slapped in the face instantly obviously made Murong Baoding extremely angry.

"What a great Gao Changsheng, but what's the use? If I can't suppress you with the formation, I will crush you with my troops."

"I can't do that. What tricks can you come up with with this exhausted army?"

"The whole army obeys the order and kill!"

Murong Baoding shouted wildly.

Almost at the same time he spoke, Luo Cheng and others in the distance shouted the same sentence.

"The commander-in-chief has arrived. All the troops of the Left Guard are dispatched to attack. Kill!"

The ruined Shirakawa Castle, which was covered with ruins, suddenly shook continuously. The heavy sound of horse hooves could be clearly heard from the city.

"Okay, if you want to use this tired army to fight against my Northern Mang Iron Cavalry, you are really courting death. I will grant your wish."

Murong Baoding was not surprised but laughed instead.

On the other side, Zhong Liang and Qi Shence also showed the same expression at the same time.

The two troops also quickly began to move towards the direction where the Sui army was leaving the city.

Although they were surprised by the sudden rise of the formation, like Murong Baoding, they did not think that the other party could come up with any tricks.

Only Zhao Sui's expression in the distance kept changing.

"Something's wrong, something's wrong."

Zhao Sui shook his head repeatedly. As the saying goes, a bystander sees more clearly. At this moment, the premonition in his heart was becoming stronger and stronger, like a deep and thick dark cloud covering his heart.

Looking around, he saw that the Imperial Guards had already rushed forward, and he was left with only a dozen personal soldiers from the palace.

"Something's not going right. Let's retreat a little bit and see what happens." Zhao Sui spoke quickly.

"Ah? Retreat now? What about this big banner?" Several bodyguards were stunned at the same time.

You have to know that in their eyes, they were on the verge of a great victory. It would have been fine if they didn't rush forward to grab the credit, but they actually decided to retreat. Such a decision was simply unbelievable.

The most important thing is that next to Zhao Sui stood the large flag of the Liyang army.

On the battlefield, the sudden retreat of the banner is no small matter.

Hearing this, Zhao Sui rolled his eyes speechlessly.

"What a bullshit banner! That's Tai'an's imperial guards, not my Zhao Sui's troops."

"I am the one who takes the blame. Let alone retreating, even if the banner is burned, they will not be affected at all. What is there to be afraid of?"

Zhao Sui shouted angrily, but there was one thing he didn't say.

Now the feeling of uneasiness in his heart is becoming stronger and stronger. At a time like this, of course, the most important thing is to take care of himself. As for the Imperial Guards and Qi Shence, why should he care if they die?
"Quick, retreat quickly, the banner is standing here, ignore it."

Zhao Sui asked repeatedly: "Why aren't you moving? What are you all standing there for?"

After he finished speaking, Zhao Sui found that there was still no movement from the few people, so he became angry and started cursing.

However, he did not notice that at this moment, several of his personal soldiers were looking forward with dull eyes, their bodies shaking constantly.

"Your Majesty, I, I'm afraid we can't leave." Just as Zhao Sui was about to continue cursing, one of them pointed at the distance and replied tremblingly.

Zhao Sui paused and turned his head stiffly, and the next second, he was stunned where he was.

At some point, the rising Zuo Wuwei formation had completely occupied the entire sky.

The other three formations were completely pushed aside.

From a distance, it looked like a giant dragon hovering in the sky, roaring in all directions.

The formation diagram belonging to their side was like a sheep crawling under a giant dragon and trembling constantly.

The sky was shaking, the earth was shaking, and Zhao Sui's body was shaking.

The formation diagram was in the sky, like the sun, continuously casting rays of light.

The original Shirakawa Castle had completely disappeared at some point.

Of course, what Zhao Sui was concerned about was not this, but the allied forces of the two countries in the center of the battlefield in the distance.

Just a moment ago, the armies of the two countries were roaring towards Shirakawa Castle, wanting to annihilate the Zuo Wuwei army.

But at this time, the situation on the field had changed.

Shirakawa Castle seemed to have lost its trace, but as the earth shook violently.

A series of raised earth slopes suddenly appeared and quickly spread along the ground, turning into huge criss-crossing earth walls.

The armies of the two countries, which were about to approach each other and gather together, were suddenly separated in an instant.

"Change, change the terrain! How is that possible?"

Zhao Sui exclaimed: "With no superiority in numbers and exhausted soldiers, how could Gao Changsheng change the situation so easily? The armies of Beimang and Liyang have not disappeared."

He is familiar with Xu Xiao and is also very familiar with some military methods.

Under the cover of a military formation, a strong military expert can indeed change the terrain.

But the current situation is obviously wrong.

The coalition forces of the two countries have the advantage in terms of both military strength and status.

Although the three large formations were suppressed, they were still shining.

How could Gao Changsheng change the terrain so easily and even change the enemy's territory?

"Kacha, kacha!"

Just as Zhao Sui exclaimed in disbelief, an even more shocking change occurred.

The entire sky above my head suddenly cracked apart.

A devastating aura gushed out.

In two directions, two sword lights that pierced the sky and the earth slowly emerged at the same time.

Like a giant bridge, it spans the sky.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

That is, the knife light appeared for a moment.

The earth-shaking sound of horse hooves exploded instantly.

East, south, west, north!
Loud, hair-raising noises were heard from all directions, even from the sky and underground.

The three military formations, which were only trembling slightly under the Wuwei formation but still emitting light, exploded at this moment.

Zhao Sui's body was stiff. He finally understood the reason for the problem just now, but now he could only stand there, unable to say a word.

Because, behind where he was standing, the sound of horse hooves could also be heard, and it was getting closer and louder.
