Chapter 217 Expedition
"I hope they can be safe on this trip!"
Outside Guji City, Qi Yang looked at Xu Jin's figure with his troops leaving and said softly.
Tian Yu, who was standing beside him, smiled on his face when he heard this. He did not look back, but the voice rang out.
"Don't worry, they won't have any trouble. If there were no accidents, after this trip, Xu Bingzhu will truly become famous. The name of Gujiu will be known to all countries!"
Hearing Tian Yu's words, Qi Yang looked at him with some surprise, and then said softly again.
"If everything is as you said, it would be great. In that case, Gu Lao will really become a climate!"
"It will definitely happen. We just need to wait for their good news. However, before they come back, we must keep Gujiu well and be prepared for Qi State. In addition, during this period, we must also expand Gujiu!"
Tian Yu spoke again with a certain tone. After saying that, he turned around and turned around and walked towards the city.
Qi Yang looked at Tian Yu who turned around and walked towards the city, then looked at Xu Jin and others who were almost invisible. A look of remembrance appeared in his eyes, and then he turned to firmness, and a smile appeared on his face. Then he turned around and walked towards the city.
In Qi Yang's heart, he did not completely believe what Tian Yu said, but he was very expecting that things could really be like Tian Yu said. In this way, Gujiu here is really promising, and staying in Gujiu will become more meaningful.
After Xu Jin took his Taoist soldiers from Gujiucheng, not long after, the news was discovered by the Qi country, who was very close to him.
Outside the camp of Qi State, Bai Li stood with his hands behind his back, looking in the direction of Jing State, with an inexplicable look in his eyes, and he spoke softly to Yan Jian beside him.
"The Gujiu Xu Jin led his troops to set out. At this moment, they are close to the border between the two countries. It won't take long before Xu Jin will lead his troops to cross the border of Jingguo, enter the territory of Jingguo, and attack cities and villages all the way, and confront the masters of Jingguo!"
Yan Jian, who was standing beside him, was agile. He naturally heard the emotions hidden in Bai Li's words, so he shook his head gently and said in a slightly regretful tone.
"This move is indeed very courageous. Unfortunately, Xu Jin seems to be a little anxious. Jingguo's side is not so easy to deal with. Even most masters are now restrained by Yiguo, and the rest are not easy to deal with. With his current cultivation level, it may be difficult to escape unstoppable. If his cultivation level breaks through the Jiming realm, then he will be safer!"
After saying that, Yan Jian sighed softly, as if he really felt sorry for Xu Jin's anxious journey.
After hearing his words, Bai Li's inexplicable expression also darkened slightly, then he nodded slightly, and said with a hint of regret in his tone.
"Yes, even if he can come back, his Taoist soldiers will probably be killed or injured. From now on, their strength has been greatly reduced. I am indeed a little impatient!"
After saying this, Bai Li turned around and looked behind him, and suddenly felt a little boring again, so he turned around and returned to the camp.
Looking at Bai Li's back as he left, Yan Jian shook his head in his heart. He knew very well what Bai Li was thinking at this moment. It was precisely because of this that he had just said that. In his heart, his attitude towards Xu Jin's departure was not so pessimistic, but he had a little expectation. Perhaps this time, Xu Jin could win a victory that shocked the world.
...
"When crossing the land ahead, that is the territory of Jingguo!"
Xu Jin looked at the familiar borders of the two countries ahead and thought so in his heart.
Unlike every time I came here before, this time Xu Jin came here to actively attack Jingguo.
Xu Jin knew very well that although there were no soldiers from one side of Jing State on the border between the two countries at this time, as long as he crossed the border between the two countries, he would touch the prohibition set up by Jing State on the border, and his whereabouts of others would be immediately known by Jing State's masters.
Therefore, as long as you cross the line on the border between the two countries, you must always prepare for battle. Xu Jin was not afraid at all, but instead had some expectations. Han Huang, who was following him, looked very serious at this time, and he seemed to be facing a great enemy.
Everyone continued to walk forward and soon reached the line on the border between the two countries. Xu Jin had no intention of stopping, and took the lead in crossing the border line and stepped onto the territory of Jing Kingdom. The Taoist soldiers under his command naturally followed his footsteps and stepped onto the territory of Jing Kingdom without hesitation.
"At the border between the two countries, there is a prohibition set by Jingguo. Jingguo now knows our arrival. Next, the battle will begin at any time, and we must always be vigilant!" Han Huang took a deep breath and said to Xu Jin beside him with a serious expression.
"I know, I will trouble Senior Han next. Pay attention to the arrival of the enemy. We must reach the first target we want to attack, Yanwu City before the enemy takes the initiative to find us!"
Hearing Han Huang's words, Xu Jin nodded, and then he said the first target he wanted to attack next.
When Han Huang heard this, there was no surprise on his face. Yanwu City in Jingguo was originally a city relatively close to Chenguo. It was reasonable for Xu Jin to attack here in the first battle!
After Xu Jin finished speaking, Han Huang pinched a magic trick in his hand, and then his body flew up. After flying to a height of about a hundred meters in the air, his body slowly disappeared, but Xu Jin could feel that Han Huang was above their heads.
Seeing this, Xu Jin also raised his hand and pinched the magic tricks and used the evil-covering technique. As a red light came up, it enveloped all the Taoist soldiers under his command. Xu Jin immediately took the Taoist soldiers under his command and began to advance quickly.
At this time, an army of about 5,000 people had gathered in the city. Leaded by a cultivator of Jiming Realm, various weapons to defend the city were set up on the city walls, waiting for Xu Jin and others to arrive.
The leading master of Jiming's realm was now serious. He did not underestimate Xu Jin and others who had entered Jingguo, because he had fought with Xu Jin before and understood Xu Jin's power very well. With him alone, plus the five thousand soldiers in Yanwu City, it would be difficult for him to resist Xu Jin.
After all, when Xu Jin fought with Mu Yan before, the power of Jing Guo was far greater than the power that Yanwu City has now. He could not defeat Xu Jin. Now he only has such a few people, how can he stop Xu Jin? What's more, Jing Guo's side has also received news recently that Xu Jin has received support from Dasheng's side, and his strength may have improved again.
But no matter what, he is the person responsible for guarding here. If the enemy has arrived, he can only fight with him. Apart from that, the only thing he can do is to send a message for help, hoping that the masters from Jingguo will come faster after seeing his message.
Time passed slowly, and soon, half an hour later, Xu Jin led his Taoist soldiers forward, and at this time he had already seen Yanwu City ahead.
As a city closer to Chen State, the Yanwu City of Jing State is not small in scale. When Jing State attacked Chen State before, Yanwu City was a very important transit station in Jing State.
Xu Jin made a rough visual inspection that the wall of Yanwu City was about 60 meters high, and the style of the wall construction looked quite rough. On the wall of more than 60 meters, you can see that the surface of the wall seemed to be inlaid with many huge stones. The colors of these stones made the wall look a bit inconsistent.
At this moment, the city wall was covered with various defensive equipment, and the Taoist soldiers on the city wall looked quite nervous. A Jingguo cultivator who had fought before directly met Xu Jin's gaze.
"He has indeed become stronger!"
After seeing Xu Jin, the cultivator from Jingguo thought solemnly that Xu Jin's cultivation has improved, and his aura is obviously more powerful than when he met last time.
Now that the masters who came to support the country of Jing have not arrived, facing Xu Jin who has become stronger, this Jing Kingdom practitioner is already secretly complaining!
The best way now is to delay time as much as possible first, and don’t start fighting immediately. The longer the time is, the more beneficial it will be for you. If you can delay the supporter, it will not be a problem to deal with Xu Jin, and it is very likely that Xu Jin will be completely left here.
At that moment, the master of Jingguo shouted directly at Xu Jin.
"Master Xu Bing, please stop. Why did you lead your troops to invade our country of Jingguo?"
Hearing the words of the master of Jingguo, Xu Jin slowed down a little, and then responded to the other party.
"The State of Jing has a grudge against my country's destruction. I have attacked Gujiu twice before. I am a member of the State of Chen. Today, I am a siege of Jingguo, to avenge the country and to avenge my personal revenge. Your Yanwu City is my first stop to avenge my revenge. If you don't want to fight, please open the door and surrender!"
Xu Jin knew very well that the other party talked to him mainly to delay time. However, this time he sent troops to attack Jingguo. As the party that took the initiative to attack, there was a famous division. Although everyone did not care much about this in this world, and it would be better to just look for this reason, it would not be of much significance, but having it is better than not.
Hearing Xu Jin talked with him and the team's progress slowed down a little, the Jingguo master felt that the delay of time seemed to be hopeless, so he hurriedly continued.
"The words of the Bingzhu Xu are wrong. The destruction of the Chen State was done by Qi State. If you want to take revenge, you can go to Qi State to avenge. Why do you come to our Jing State? As for the previous attacks on Gujiu, there are some misunderstandings. Xu State will stop for the time being and listen to me to tell the matter slowly. If Xu State is still not satisfied, I can also give you a gift to apologize!"
As the master of Jingguo said, he found that Xu Jin's speed had become faster again. Judging from this posture, he seemed not to be ready to communicate with him anymore. He immediately understood in his heart that his plan to delay time might be disappointed.
Sure enough, after Xu Jin arrived about five miles in front of the city, the killing artistic conception on his body emitted. Then, a sound of artillery crossbow fired sounded from behind Xu Jin, and crossbow arrows emitting red light shot directly towards Yanwu City!
"Respond, the crossbow car is activated, the fire throw is activated, hurry!"
Seeing the crossbow arrows shot, the master of Jingguo had no choice but to give a counterattack order, and the battle between the two sides was about to break out.
Xu Jin's magic power was circulating, and the body of the Blood Futu Taoist soldiers under his command immediately emitted a blood-colored light like a glass, and above everyone's heads, it gathered into a blood-colored pagoda.
"rush!"
Under the cover of the Blood Pagoda, Xu Jin directly launched the four-sided formation, led the Taoist soldiers under his command, and rushed forward quickly.
Xu Jin had never done anything like siege before, and he had no experience, so Xu Jin was going to use the easiest method, which was to forcefully break through Yanwu City's defense and rush in directly.
Under the cover of the Blood Pagoda, all the attacks launched by Yanwu City were blocked by Xu Jin. The crossbow arrows shot before caused a little trouble to Yanwu City. Even if the master of Jiming's realm took action, he could not completely stop him.
In this way, Xu Jin rushed to the front of the wall of Yanwu City with a dense attack. Seeing this, the master of Jingguo had to launch an attack on Xu Jin with all his might, trying to stop Xu Jin's steps.
At this moment, Xu Jin had already grasped the hilt of the short sword behind his back. He had just obtained the short wind-torn sword, and was pulled out by him. The moment the short sword was unsheathed, there seemed to be a strong wind around Xu Jin, carrying a sharp murderous aura, covering the Jingguodao soldiers on the top of the city, making all the Jingguodao soldiers unable to help but feel a little cold in their hearts.
The next moment, the short sword torn in Xu Jin's hand suddenly swung forward, and a hundred-meter-long blood-colored sword light flew forward with his sword. The sharp blood-colored sword light easily broke through the magic performed by the master of Jingguo, and directly slashed on the wall of Yanwu City with an unstoppable momentum.
The sharp blood-colored sword light easily broke a gap in the city wall of Yanwu City. If it weren't for the huge rocks that built the city wall, which seemed to have a special defensive effect, the power of Xu Jin's sword would definitely be more than just breaking a gap.
Looking at the city wall that was broken into the gap, the master of Jingguo was like this city wall that had been broken into, and the hope in his heart seemed to be instantly broken into a gap.
He also thought about delaying the time as much as possible. When other masters of Jingguo arrived, they would have hope to resist and even leave Xu Jin behind. However, he did not expect that after only a moment of fighting between the two sides, Xu Jin had already broken through the wall of Yanwu City with one knife. Yanwu City was about to be unable to defend.
