Chapter 126 Sunset Bow

Among the black iron army, Zhao Jiuxiao saw Sikong Huan.

I saw that this man was handsome, wearing blue and black armor, riding a white horse, carrying a longbow with a pattern of setting sun on his back, with greed in his eyes.

After seeing Zhao Jiuxiao, he sneered and said, "General Zhao, I have fulfilled your request. Next, you and I will have a fight to the death."

Zhao Jiuxiao: "Yes, General Sikong, only one of you and I can survive today."

Sikong Huan asked: "In your opinion, who is it?"

Zhao Jiuxiao didn't answer.

But Sikong Huan suddenly took out the sunset bow and shot at Zhao Jiuxiao.

"Whoosh!" A sharp arrow with flames flew straight over.

[Consonant fingering! 】Zhao Jiuxiao stretched out the two fingers of his right hand, forcibly caught the sharp arrow shot by the opponent, and used [Ming Yu Gong] to extinguish the flame on the sharp arrow.

Sikong Huan opened his mouth wide: "It's unbelievable that you can catch my sharp arrow with your bare hands."

Before the words fell, he ordered his army to attack.

"Swish, swish!" The crossbowmen released their arrows together, causing the rain of arrows to rain down everywhere.

But the infantry of Tiansheng Kingdom had been prepared for a long time, and they raised their shields to defend.

"Clang clang clang!" The sharp arrows were blocked, and only a few of them killed the target.

At the same time, Zhao Jiuxiao also issued an order to attack.

30 cavalry came from three directions and rushed straight to the rear of the enemy.

The frontal army also fired artillery and sharp arrows to attack the black iron army's position.

For a moment, Sikong Huan was under the enemy's back and forth, and fell into a passive situation.

"What?" He was stunned, he didn't expect Zhao Jiuxiao to be so ignorant.

There were constant crossbowmen being blown to pieces by shells, leaving only blood on the ground.

Sikong Huan hurriedly changed the formation to make it more dispersed and prevent the cannonballs from being too powerful.

But in this way, the formation of the tiger and leopard cavalry was also forced to lengthen, making it more difficult to defend against the impact of the cavalry from the rear.

Sikong Huan showed a look of helplessness, and held the reins tightly: "General Zhao, you are really deceiving people too much."

Zhao Jiuxiao smiled: "I'm afraid it won't be that easy if you think about the fisherman's profit?"

Sikong Huan: "Hmph, I will kill you!"

Before he finished speaking, he rushed over on horseback.

The infantry hurriedly stood in front of Zhao Jiuxiao, trying to fend off Sikong Huan.

But Sikong Huan shot hundreds of sharp arrows, which fell from the sky like fire rain.

Although the infantry fought hard to defend, their shields were still pierced by sharp arrows, their bodies were hit by arrows, and they were instantly set on fire.

They screamed and fell to the ground and rolled, but many of them were still burned to death, and only some of them were saved by Zhao Jiuxiao's Xuanbing Zhenqi.

Zhao Jiuxiao smiled slightly, and also rose into the sky, reaching the sky above the enemy.

[Thunder Fist! 】He swung his fists and hit hard, releasing a series of thunder.

Sikong Huan immediately spurred the white horse, and galloped sideways, avoiding the attack.

"Boom!" Thunder blasted countless big holes, but couldn't hit the target.

And Sikong Huan also shot three sharp arrows, and the burning flames turned into three fire phoenixes, which attacked Zhao Jiuxiao's face, chest, and back respectively.

Zhao Jiuxiao immediately activated [Ming Yu Gong], using Xuanbing Zhenqi to form a three-layer ice wall to resist the opponent's attack.

"Boom!" The ice wall was blown to pieces and disappeared into nothingness.

But Zhao Jiuxiao prevented the opponent's offensive.

He himself fell to the ground with the momentum, and punched three hundred punches, each of which hit the opponent's chest and arms.

Sikong Huan had nowhere to hide, so he could only retract his longbow and use his palms to forcibly defend.

"Papa!" The two fists met, releasing a large amount of infuriating energy, blasting countless large craters into the surrounding ground. Dust flew up, obscuring their vision.

Sikong Huan took advantage of the situation and flew up, urging the internal strength of his whole body, and shot a sharp arrow, like a huge fire dragon, circling towards Zhao Jiuxiao.

Zhao Jiuxiao didn't dodge, but activated the internal force of the [Marriage Dress Magic Art], and punched him hard.

"Boom!" His thunder smashed the fire dragon into pieces.

Zhao Jiuxiao also took advantage of the situation and flew up, came to Sikong Huan, and punched with his backhand.

Sikong Huan had just finished his move, so he couldn't dodge in time. He was hit in the lower abdomen by this punch, vomited blood, and fell heavily to the ground. His whole body's bones were broken and he couldn't move.

Sikong Huan's eyes were full of helplessness: "Damn it, I thought I planned my life, but in the end I lost at your hands."

Zhao Jiuxiao: "That's right, it means that man's calculation is not as good as heaven's calculation. You just like to calculate too much, so you hurt yourself."

Sikong Huan smiled wryly: "Really? God's will tricks people."

Before the words fell, he had stopped breathing.

Zhao Jiuxiao picked up the sunset bow and handed it to Luo Wenyuan.

Once Sikong Huan died, his army was completely leaderless.

The soldiers fought on their own, and some of them felt like fleeing, dropped their weapons and left.

Although some are still resisting tenaciously, without the protection of the formation, they are already at the end of their strength.

The cavalry took advantage of the situation to charge, and finally broke through the blocking of the tiger and leopard cavalry, beheading all the crossbowmen under their horses.

The battle turned into a one-sided situation, with rivers of blood flowing and corpses strewn across the field.

Zhao Jiuxiao watched the enemy fall one after another, enjoying the glory of this victory, and his heart was extremely excited.

After half an hour, the battle was over.

Except for the 15 soldiers who fled, the remaining 55 black iron troops were all killed.

The smell of blood filled the air, making Zhao Jiuxiao feel sick.

Soldiers are clearing the battlefield and picking up the corpses of their comrades.

In this battle, Zhao Jiuxiao lost 6 horses, most of whom were killed by crossbowmen.

Under such circumstances, the casualties were considerable. If it were a normal battle, his losses would only be greater.

Zhao Jiuxiao was also secretly glad that he was able to win.

This failure severely damaged Xuan Tieguo's vitality, and he was no longer able to attack.

But Tiansheng Kingdom only consumed part of the troops and food.

As long as the food, grass and troops are replenished, the attack can be launched.

Thinking of this, Zhao Jiuxiao was full of anticipation. He could even see the scene where he entered the Xuantie King City and made the Xuantie Emperor bow down to him.

Of course, with Murong Kuang's personality, it is more likely to kill himself with a horizontal sword.

Zhao Jiuxiao couldn't help but smile knowingly, feeling more relaxed.

He then turned around and returned to Youzhou City to hold a celebration banquet.

At the banquet, Zhao Jiuxiao rewarded a lot of good wine and food to make the soldiers drunk.

In addition, he also asked the court to distribute enough silver taels to the families of the dead soldiers and exempt them from taxes for two years.

This approach gave Zhao Jiuxiao a higher status in the hearts of the people.

But just when Zhao Jiuxiao drank a glass of daughter's red and was in a good mood, Gongsun Wuji walked over and said, "General Zhao, I have something to say."

Zhao Jiuxiao waved his hand: "Go ahead."

Gongsun Wuji: "General Zhao, if our army attacks Xuantie Country, we should avoid the enemy's heavily defended area, climb over the mountains, and go straight to the Boulder City."

Zhao Jiuxiao's expression changed: "Big Rock City?"

Gongsun Wuji took out the map and pointed out, "It's here."

Zhao Jiuxiao's expression changed slightly: "But if it's an expedition, how about the food and grass?"

Gongsun Wuji: "It can only last for a month."

Zhao Jiuxiao frowned: "There is not enough food and grass, how can it last?"

Gongsun Wuji: "General Zhao, I am willing to lead 10 troops with General Hong to carry out this operation. After capturing Jushi City, the general will lead another 70 elite to join forces and jointly attack the heavily defended place of Xuantie Kingdom. Come, great things can happen!"

Zhao Jiuxiao's expression changed slightly, and he fell into deep thought.
