Chapter 315: The King
The Taiyi Sword Sect did what the remnants of the Second Dynasty had done was not indifferent. It was just that due to some reasons, coupled with the relationship between the Gou royal family and the Taiyi Sword Sect, and the dissatisfaction with the current dynasty, they had tolerated to a limited extent, but this tolerance has now reached the bottom line.
Gou Gui knew very well that most of the sword cultivators of Taiyi Sword Sect were very straightforward people. They often talked about things directly without taking into account their personal feelings, but if they could say these words, they would definitely be able to do it.
Facing the young man in front of him, Gou Gui was not affected by his unceremonious words. Instead, he nodded, then turned silently, and turned into a purple-gold stream of light, flying towards the five states that are now occupied by the remaining forces of the Second Dynasty.
At the border of Bingzhou, Zhou Kuang looked at the small town not far away, looked back at the Bingzhou army behind him, and did not send anyone to call the battle, nor was he was wasting his words to persuade him to surrender, and directly issued an order to attack.
"kill!!"
Accompanied by the war cry of several Bingzhou generals in front of him, all the Bingzhou soldiers behind him also made a war cry that was enough to break the mountains and rivers.
Amid the war cry of the Bingzhou army, the small town ahead, including the ground around the town, had a slight tremor. It seemed that the small town would collapse in the next moment.
But at this moment, a strong iron-blooded evil spirit burst out from the head, quickly condensed on the top of the city, covering all locations of the small city, dyeing it bloody.
Standing behind the Bingzhou Army and away from the influence of the iron-blooded evil spirit, Mo He saw the city wall covered by the iron-blooded evil spirit, and had to sigh in his heart that the Second Dynasty had a profound foundation and had secretly cultivated so many excellent commanders.
Before, he had already been killed by himself in Bingzhou. Now, the border between Bingzhou and Anzhou is another strong man in Wushu, and he seems to be the kind of commander who is good at defending the city.
Under the attachment of the iron-blooded evil spirit, the small city that seemed to collapse in a war cry stabilized again. Immediately afterwards, a black rain of arrows suddenly flew above the city and shot towards the Bingzhou army outside the city.
The iron-blooded evil spirit around the Bingzhou army quickly rolled up under Zhou Kuang's control, forming a blood-colored barrier, blocking the falling rain of arrows.
"Secret military skills, military movements, rapid rush!"
Facing this bloody barrier, the surrounding iron-blooded evil spirit rolled again, covering the entire Bingzhou army. Then Zhou Kuang moved his footsteps and suddenly began to rush towards the city, as if he was trying to use a charge directly to break through the small city in front of him.
But before he could reach the city gate, Zhou Kuang had to stop.
I saw a thick blood-colored light suddenly shot out from the small city. In the light, a huge arrow that was vaguely seen a hundred meters long shot towards the Bingzhou army with a violent force.
Don’t know this kind of arrow in the battlefield of Xueli Pass. It was created by the Tiangong School and was specially used to deal with the demon clan.
Facing this thick arrow, Zhou Kuang did not dare to take it in the slightest, and could only lead the Bingzhou army. During the rushing forward, he suddenly turned around and avoided the huge arrow.
A huge arrow, a hundred meters long, was shrouded in a layer of red light, and finally landed on a small hill far from the Bingzhou Army. It shattered the hill with one arrow, and then penetrated into a mountain behind, and also smashed it to pieces.
Next, the Bingzhou Army and the defending army launched an incredible offensive and defense in front of Mo He. Even though the Bingzhou Army's offensive was fierce, the generals of the remnants of the Second Dynasty who defended the city had never shown up. At every critical moment, they would use the arrows they had just shot.
It was not until the battle was going on for an hour. Before the Bingzhou army rushed to the city wall again, this time the city did not shoot out such powerful arrows, but directly opened the city gate. Accompanied by a blood light, a large number of troops appeared at the city gate and launched an attack on the Bingzhou army that had already rushed in.
"retreat!"
Looking at the huge number of troops in front of him, Zhou Kuang, who had already approached, chose to retreat without hesitation. The number gap between the Bingzhou Army he led was too great compared to the army in front of him.
Zhou Kuang wanted to retreat at this time, but how could the commander of the Second Dynasty army, who had been spending an hour with him, easily get out of him without hesitation?
"kill!"
A loud battle cry sounded, but this time the one who endured the battle cry became Zhou Kuang and his Bingzhou Army.
Under this battle cry, some of the last Bingzhou soldiers stiffened on the spot and fell to the ground.
Standing far enough, Mo He, seeing the situation of the battle reversed instantly, the soldiers of the Bingzhou Army who had just launched the charge again and again have now suddenly become the party being pursued, and Mo He immediately took action.
Mo He activates the spiritual power in his body, and lifts up a small hill beside him, and then throws the hill down from the army of the Second Dynasty.
Mo He had only seen the method of dealing with iron-blooded evil spirits a few days ago, and the demon clan also used this method on the battlefield of the Blood Lie Pass.
Although this method has some effect on using the iron-blooded evil spirit, the effect is really not very good, and it is also very spiritually consuming, but the visual effect is quite scary.
Looking at a small hill falling above his head, the commander of the Second Dynasty army knew that there was a monk who took action to stop him from pursuing the Bingzhou army.
Controlling the iron-blooded evil spirit and smashing the hills falling above his head, the commander of the Second Dynasty stopped and led the army to retreat back to the small city without any love battle at all.
Zhou Kuang, who had retreated safely, soon arrived at Mo He's side. His face looked a little ugly. He looked at the small town. He knew that he had no way to break through the small town in a short time.
Not to mention other factors, the commander of the Second Dynasty who guarded this small town is not an easy opponent, and the style of commanding troops is really too stable.
After about an hour of attacking and defending the opponent, Zhou Kuang deliberately launched multiple attacks in the last half hour, and used some very expensive military secret techniques to lure the opponent out of the city so that he could at least explore the reality of the situation.
As a result, the opponent was unmoved at all. He clearly had a huge advantage in military strength, but it was not until Zhou Kuang's last charge before he was about to retreat. He seized the opportunity and left the city to fight decisively.
When dealing with such an opponent, even if Zhou Kuang is full of wisdom, the opponent only needs to seek stability, never be greedy for merit, and adopt a defensive attitude. When the troops have the advantage, it is difficult for Zhou Kuang to defeat the opponent.
There was only more than a day left before the remnants of the Second Dynasty held the ceremony of kingship. In such a short time, Zhou Kuang could not defeat the other party, so he could not stop the ceremony of kingship of the Second Dynasty.
More than a day was just a fleeting moment. As time approached, after several efforts, Zhou Kuang finally failed to break through the small town in front of him.
"General Zhou, you have done your best!" Looking at Zhou Kuang's unwilling eyes, Mo He comforted him.
Hearing Mo He's words, Zhou Kuang shook his head gently, and finally said nothing. He just turned around and looked at the sun that was about to rise in the sky. It is estimated that the ceremony of kingship for the remnants of the Second Dynasty is now being held.
The facts are similar to Zhou Kuaishou. In a prefecture in Yinzhou, an important figure belonging to the remnants of the Second Dynasty was already waiting here except for the commanders who guarded several borders.
As the sun in the sky shone a ray of morning light, Gou Ji, who was about to be king, slowly walked towards the prepared altar in his grand dress.
As he walked towards the altar, his eyes fell on him. Facing these gazes, Gou Ji calmly moved forward step by step, and finally climbed onto the altar and began to complete the step-by-step ceremony under the guidance of the ritual officer.
In a loft far away from the ceremony, Gou Ji was standing in front of the window, looking at the place where the ceremony was being held, his eyes were always on Gou Ji, who was completing the step-by-step ceremony, and he never moved away for a moment.
Wen Ruo, who was standing beside him, looked at Gou Gui but did not disturb her. She now knew the trace of loss in Gou Gui's heart very well.
Gou Gui had a strong interest in becoming the Human Emperor, and he never concealed this, even if he had a better choice.
Gou Gui himself knew very well that compared to becoming the Human Emperor, after his death, practicing to become an immortal is his best choice. If he lets him choose, he will also choose to become an immortal, but the trace of loss in his heart is inevitable.
Seeing the ceremony progressing smoothly, Gou Gui finally looked away, turned his head to look at Wen Ruo beside him and asked, "Is the dynasty still attacking?"
Listening to Gou Gui's words, Wen Ruo immediately replied: "The border between Selangor and Xingzhou is still in war, and Anzhou and Genzhou are temporarily stopped."
"How long will the army of the dynasty arrive?" Gou Gui continued to ask.
"At most three days, the imperial army can reach Bingzhou. If they are preparing to launch an attack from neighboring prefectures at the same time, war will begin in five days."
"Five days!" Gou Gui said these two words softly, and his eyes returned to Gou Ji, who was conducting the ceremony.
The ceremony of the ceremony to claim the king is not complicated, and it can even be considered simple. Now that it is almost over, Gou Ji is reciting the sacrificial text loudly, declaring his ambition to become a king who inherits the orthodox king.
After the sacrificial text was read, all the important figures of the remnants of the Second Dynasty who participated in the King's Ceremony bowed to Gou Ji who had completed the King's Ceremony.
At the same time, a brilliant golden light lit up in the sky of the entire Five Prefectures, and countless spots of light fell on the bodies of ordinary people, which made them feel energetic and warm and comfortable.
Standing at the border of Bingzhou, Mo He and Zhou Kuang also saw the golden light lit up in the sky. They looked at each other and knew what this meant.
