Eight hundred and fifty-six chapters Zhou Biography (4)
However, they had not completely lost their minds. Everyone knew in their hearts that it was extremely unwise to engage in close combat with Zhou Lie. Before Zhou Lie could rush up, the crossbowman pulled the crossbow, and ten large siege crossbows were also fully loaded with the dozens of guards, and they were loaded with crossbows.
Zhou Lie sighed helplessly in his heart. He held the sword in his hand and bowed to the five thousand soldiers gathered in the imperial tomb: "Brothers, I offended you."
As he spoke, a shout came from the crowd: "Shoot the arrow!"
In an instant, flying arrows spread across the sky, covering the moonlight and pressing towards Zhou Lie like a big wave.
Zhou Lie looked at the countless flying arrows and smiled helplessly.
He moved, and many people standing in the front row of the team saw Zhou Lie moving, but they couldn't see clearly how Zhou Lie moved. They just felt a flash of light in the place where Zhou Lie was standing. Then, someone felt a little more pressure suddenly appeared on his arms.
Five thousand elite soldiers stood in the imperial tombs and formed a square formation. The last one was a crossbowman with long spears in the middle. The large crossbow of the siege was also at the position of the central army. At the front were all ring sword hands. They held a ring sword in their right hand and a double arc shield in their left hand.
And this sudden heavy pressure appeared from the shield surface of the double-arc shield.
At the beginning, the person standing in the front row of the team just felt his arms suddenly sinking, but in the next moment, the pressure suddenly increased to an irresistible level.
With a series of crackling sounds, the dozen people standing in the front row flew into the air at the same time. The shields in their hands shattered, and the ring-headed knife was broken into two pieces.
As the formation was torn open such a small gap, the battle officially began.
Wang Mang looked at the square formation and pressed forward little by little. He didn't know what was going on in front of him, but only saw someone flying up from the front of the formation, and the frequency of the crossbowman firing arrows was much slower than before.
Five thousand people will definitely kill Zhou Lie! Zhou Jialang can defeat thousands of troops alone? That is just an exaggeration. Such a person can never exist in this world.
Wang Mang kept thinking this in his heart, but at this time, the central army in the formation also had a commotion.
As soon as he saw the long spear standing in the center of the formation begin to scatter, Wang Mang's heart suddenly tightened. Could it be that Zhou Lie had reached the central army? So fast!
The extreme tension made Wang Mang subconsciously clench the sword. At this time, his gaze fell on Zhao Feiyan's face again.
As soon as Wang Mang saw Zhao Feiyan's calm appearance, he felt inexplicably angry. He stared at Zhao Feiyan's face for a while, and finally decided to do it himself.
He took a step towards Zhao Feiyan, but as soon as he fell down his feet, a stone flew over from the square formation and hit the hilt of his sword.
At first, Wang Mang thought it was just a coincidence. He took another step and heard a muffled "bang" sound, and the hilt of the sword was hit again, and even the gems embedded on it were smashed down.
Wang Mang immediately understood that this was Zhou Lie's warning to him. If he approached Zhao Feiyan again, a stone would pass through his head next.
His hands were still on the scabbard, but his legs were trembling one after another.
Five thousand elite soldiers, so many people surrounded Zhou Lie, Zhou Lie could even free up his hands to take care of Zhao Feiyan.
Wang Mang looked into the square formation, but could only see the crossbowmen who were constantly moving, and could not see Zhou Lie at all.
He wanted to take another step towards Zhao Feiyan, but his legs seemed to be out of control and could not move no matter how hard it was. Wang Mang himself was unwilling to admit it. In fact, when he saw the guards who died through the skull, he was already frightened.
After Zhou Lie broke through the square formation, he quickly arrived at the position where the central army was. He also knew that it was unwise to do so, but there was no way. The entrance of the imperial tomb was too far away from Zhao Feiyan. At that position, he could not protect Zhao Feiyan while fighting the imperial guards.
Now Zhou Lie's speed has gradually slowed down, and a long halberd stabbed him from all directions. While swinging his sword to block it, he was thinking about how to subdue the pawns in front of him in the shortest time.
Zhuang Junping said in his letter that the wine jar he buried in the forest had already begun to smell, and it is estimated that this jar of wine will be unearthed in May.
Zhou Lie is a good wine person. It was a month ago that Zhuang Junping asked him to bring a letter. It was already mid-April and the wine jar would be unearthed in half a month. He was afraid that he would have been too late in the imperial tomb. When he brought Zhao Feiyan back to southern Shu, Zhuang Junping had already drunk the wine in the jar.
This is a problem. When Zhou Lie thought of Mr. Zhuang’s skill in brewing wine, he couldn’t help but develop saliva in his mouth.
But now he has arrived at the central army, and five thousand elite soldiers have surrounded him tightly, and his hands and feet are a little unrestrained, which may delay more time.
Every time Zhou Lie's sword touches the long halberd, the person holding the halberd can feel a huge force wandering on his wrist. Before he could react, he felt that his wrists loose and the long halberd fell.
After that, it was the pain that was piercing. Zhou Lie just used his sword to siege these long halberds to shake off the wrist bones of the halberd.
First, there were long halberds, then the ring-headed sword and the long halberd appeared at the same time.
In a brief battle, the generals of the Imperial Army had already discovered that the long spears alone could not suppress Zhou Lie. He just seemed to be swaying the sword body casually, and immediately more than a dozen people would cover their wrists and kneel on the ground with grinning.
The sword and shield hand was in front, and the halberd hand was in the spots and surrounded Zhou Lie.
Sima Ying looked at Zhou Lie surrounded by the crowd from afar. In his eyes, Zhou Lie seemed to have not taken serious yet. This battle was like a game for Zhou Lie.
However, Zhou Lie had to take it seriously now. He did not expect that the imperial guards would adjust their formation so quickly.
The ring-headed sword and the long halberd tried to block Zhou Lie's sword path one after another, and with ten large crossbows around him, things became a little troublesome.
While Zhou Lie wanted to block the long halberd, he wanted to avoid the ring-headed knife that was cut from close range. His movements were not as free and easy as before, and soon the encirclement shrank very small.
In desperation, Zhou Lie could only let the long sword be unsheathed.
He didn't want to kill too many people, but now if he doesn't kill people, he will be killed.
Life and death are fighting, and the body cannot help.
As soon as the sword came out, the next moment, there was a bloody storm in the imperial tomb.
When the sword edge emitted a cold light under the moon, Zhou Lie's murderous aura was completely spread out.
Wang Mang, a hundred meters away from him, felt a chill, as if someone had put a big knife on his neck, and he would not know when his head would land on the ground.
Sima Ying also felt the chill, but unlike Wang Mang, his heart was already full of passion.
The soldiers surrounding Zhou Lie also felt the chill. They not only felt the chill, but also saw the redness of the world.
Zhou Lie shook his long sword, and the blood mist flew when the sword edge arrived. Many people just felt a flash of cold light in front of them. The next moment, it was bloody and pungent, and the people beside them were already separated.
Most people couldn't see Zhou Lie's movements clearly. Except for Sima Ying, his hand was always on the hilt of the sword, waiting for the opportunity to draw the sword. He saw that Zhou Lie could die every time he drew his sword. Every time he drew his sword, blood flew everywhere, and the wind and cranes were panicked.
There are only more than twenty people who can come to Zhou Lie every time. Sima Ying originally thought that Zhou Lie's physical strength would always be exhausted, and once he could not hold on, it would be his death.
But Zhou Lie seemed to be exhausted at all. He was faster than the other sword, and heavier than the other.
No, if this continues, even these five thousand imperial guards will not be able to stop Zhou Lie's pace.
After a brief hesitation, Sima Ying finally decided to take action. Although he wanted to fight one-on-one with Zhou Lie, if he didn't take action now, when Zhou Lie killed all five thousand guards, Wang Mang would probably blame him.
He looked at Zhou Lie again, Sima Ying pulled out the Youming Sword and took a deep breath.
Twenty years have passed, Sima Ying defeated countless masters of the Sword Sect with this sword that cut iron like mud. Sima Ying believes that this time, he can still win like in the past.
He took another breath, then passed through the crowd at an extremely fast speed and stabbed a long sword towards Zhou Lie.
The people around him could not see Sima Ying's movements clearly, but they just felt a wind flashing by his side.
Others could not see Sima Ying, but Zhou Lie saw him in the light of the light. However, Zhou Lie only glanced at him and did not notice who the person was rushing over. He just felt that the man was not slow. When he set out his sword, his sword technique also reached the level of lifting weight easily.
As soon as Sima Ying drew his sword, he stabbed Zhou Lie in the throat. Zhou Lie just slashed a sword into the crowd. He had no time to close the sword to block it, so he could only block it sideways.
Sima Ying didn't expect Zhou Lie to avoid his sword, but he did not hesitate and slashed towards Zhou Lie's neck with a backhand.
Before the sword could touch Zhou Lie, Sima Ying felt a slump on her waist, and then she almost lost her center of gravity, and her steps staggered.
Just now, Zhou Lie kicked the person who rushed to him. He kicked the other party in the waist, but he didn't expect that the other party did not fall to the ground.
This aroused Zhou Lie's interest. He turned his head and looked at it, and found that the person standing opposite was Sima Ying.
After Sima Ying stabilized the center of gravity, he set out his sword again. Zhou Lie slashed out with a sword, overturned the guards that were rushing towards him, waved the scabbard again, and hit the sword body of Youming Jian.
Sima Ying didn't expect that Zhou Lie could seal his sword path with just a scabbard while entangling with the imperial guards. As soon as the Youming Sword was hit by Zhou Lie's scabbard, he felt a powerful force passing through the sword body to his palm, which made his tiger's mouth numb.
What a lot of strength!
In the very short battle, Sima Ying realized that Zhou Lie's sword skills might still be above him. He dared not have any reservations anymore. He immediately rose into the air. When his body floated into the air, he twisted his waist and shoulders, and the Youming Sword searched for an extremely tricky angle and stabbed Zhou Lie.
Moon-cut style!
This is Sima Ying's unique skill in becoming famous. In the past, no one who saw him use this move could see the rising sun the next day.
Zhou Lie also felt a trace of danger. He looked at Sima Ying sideways, and saw through Sima Ying's sword path with just this glance. Then he swung the scabbard and slapped the sword again on You Ming Jian's sword.
This time, Zhou Lie used all his strength.
With a crack, the Youming Sword was shattered on the spot. Sima Ying felt a huge force coming from the front, and his body lost its center of gravity in the air, and then flew away from the heads of many guards to the distance.
After landing, Sima Ying coughed violently. At that moment, he felt that all the bones in his body were shattered. The severe pain almost numb his body. At this time, all the internal organs were surging, making Sima Ying want to vomit.
What is the best sword in the world? What is the sword art that reaches its level of transformation? Now Sima Ying finally understood that there is a huge gap between him and Zhou Lie that can never be crossed. In front of Zhou Lie, he is nothing.
