This martial saint's health bar is too thick

Chapter 319: Crash
Chongcheng.

Li Fei and others stood on the city wall of the west gate.

This section of the city wall is about twelve meters wide and more than five hundred meters long, with mountains on both sides.

There were only a hundred people standing on the more than 500-meter-long city wall, which seemed a bit sparse.

But there is no way around it. The entire Chongcheng currently has less than a thousand combatants that can be mobilized. These thousand people have to guard four city gates, so the number of people is too small.

Chongcheng is not on the border and is not a military stronghold. It is impossible and unnecessary to station too many troops there in peacetime.

Under normal circumstances, in an ordinary city, a few hundred inspectors, a few hundred city guards, as well as the Court of Stopping Wars and the Court of Justice are more than enough to maintain local law and order.

As for wartime, no one would really expect such a small town to become a strong fortress.

Especially after the emergence of weapons such as artillery, the role of city walls was further weakened, and the traditional city defense battles of the past became less and less necessary.

At that time, the coalition forces of the seven Western nations fought all the way to the city of Lanling.

Lanling City is known as the most powerful city in the world. The city wall is more than 150 meters high. In history, it has blocked the attacks of hundreds of thousands of troops.

However, despite owning such a magnificent city, the imperial court at that time did not dare to fight a defensive battle with the Western coalition forces. Instead, it let the "God of War" Wen Renzheng lead the "Sky Blue Iron Cavalry", the strongest imperial camp army of the Great Blue Dynasty, to fight a decisive battle with the Western coalition forces outside the city!

It was that battle that made many people realize that times have changed. Not only could the mighty city not stop the martial arts masters, but even ordinary people could not stop it.

Therefore, the Central Cabinet proposed ten years ago that the walls of some cities were old and there was no need to spend huge amounts of money to repair them, and they could be demolished directly.

At this time, Li Fei and others did not expect to rely on the section of the city wall under their feet to stop the approaching imperial camp army.

This city wall is not made of special materials and cannot withstand the strength of warriors. Not to mention the imperial cavalry, any strong man in the Dao Foundation Stage could easily break through the city wall if he took some time!

"The key to the next battle is to fight outside the city."

Li Fei said to Lv Wenxing and others:

"We must stop the Imperial Cavalry outside the city!"

These words left Lu Wenxing and others silent.

They all understand the principle, the question is how to stop it?
The Imperial Cavalry are assisted by exotic beast mounts. Once they charge at full speed, activate the military formation, and unleash their murderous aura, they will be the most unstoppable cavalry in the world!
Faced with the charge of fifty imperial cavalrymen, even a strong man at the peak of the Dao Foundation Stage did not dare to block it head-on.

Although Li Fei had shown strong combat power before, he was still quite far from the peak of the Dao Foundation Stage, so Lu Wenxing and others were actually unsure.

"Sir, once the Imperial Cavalry launches their battle formation and charges at full speed, I'm afraid it will be difficult to stop them."

Lu Wenxing reminded gently.

Li Fei glanced at him, then glanced at the other officials of Zhige Pavilion:
"It seems that you gentlemen have already come up with a plan?"

Lu Wenxing's expression froze and he felt a little embarrassed.

An officer took immediate action, using a strong force combined with his extraordinary ability to quietly seal off the surroundings so that the conversation of the few people could not be heard by those around them.

Lu Wenxing looked at Li Fei and said softly:

“Although I don’t know the cause and effect, I can guess a little bit. The Daluo Sect should want to achieve certain goals by slaughtering the people on a large scale.

But now all the people have been driven back home by us. With the crowd so dispersed, even if the imperial cavalry can break into the city, as long as they are not divided, how many people can they kill in a short time?
And if they divide their forces, we can naturally divide them."

Li Fei's cold gaze prevented Lu Wenxing from finishing his words.

He was a little afraid to look Li Fei in the eye.

"grown ups."

Another officer of the Zhige Pavilion said hurriedly, "It's not that we don't dare to fight, but even if we fight to the death, we may not be able to stop the Imperial Camp Cavalry. It's better to make a slight turn, so that we have a chance to truly defend Chongcheng."

Li Fei looked at the other party and said, "If the Imperial Camp Cavalry does not split up, will we just let them continue to slaughter people in the city?"

"Your Excellency does not know."

At this time, the third officer stood up and said:

"Activating the evil weapons and forming a military formation will continue to consume the warriors' energy. If the Imperial Cavalry maintains the military formation, even if they start a massacre in the city, they won't be able to kill many people before the consumption is too great and it will be difficult to continue. If they don't form a military formation, we can harass them from the side and use the terrain in the city to engage in guerrilla warfare and continuously weaken them."

One has to admit that these officials have not lived in vain at their old age.

Such a mature and steady tactic was devised in such a short time.

Li Fei laughed.

Maybe when Yun Shu assigned the task, he didn't expect that these people could really stop the Imperial Cavalry, but just wanted them to delay time as much as possible, even if some civilians died.

Perhaps if Yun Shu learned the news later, he would not blame these people.

"You gentlemen are really thoughtful to come up with such a tactic."

Li Fei said while laughing.

But Lu Wenxing and others did not laugh, because they all felt the coldness in Li Fei's tone.

"All of you should have started as official martial artists and risen through the ranks step by step. If I remember correctly, official martial artists have the responsibility to defend the land and protect the people."

Li Fei continued.

In fact, not only the regular martial arts masters, but also the students of the middle school's anti-war department and the military academy, all of them have the same responsibilities.

"Lord Li, we are not unwilling to defend, we are just tactically abandoning some of the people, so that we can complete the task assigned by the Imperial Master."

"Yes, Lord Li, we have good intentions."

"Master Li, don't act on impulse, you should focus on the overall situation!"

Several people took turns to persuade Li Fei.

Li Fei looked expressionlessly at the five Dao Foundation officials in front of him:
"My lords, you have your own tactics, and I have mine. If the imperial camp troops come, I will block them first. My lords, please do as you wish."

"This"

Several court officials looked at each other; they had not expected such an outcome.

"Sir Li, you are the best in history, and you are favored by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. You have a bright future. Why would you put yourself in danger for some irrelevant people?"

Lu Wenxing stepped forward and spoke to Li Fei earnestly.

Li Fei smiled, and he and Lu Wenxing looked at each other:

"Lord Lu, are you willing to gamble with me?"

"What are you betting on?" "This will definitely not be the place where I die."

"."

Lu Wenxing didn't expect Li Fei to be so stubborn.

"Master Li!"

Another officer could no longer bear it, "If you insist on leaving the city to stop the imperial cavalry, I'm sorry I can't accompany you!"

"I'm sorry I can't accompany you."

"Me too."

"We must complete the mission of the National Master and put the overall situation first!"

Of the five officers, except Lu Wenxing, the other four directly stated that they would not follow Li Fei out of the city to meet the enemy.

Li Fei had anticipated this.

Although he was an imperial envoy and the leader of this mission, he was not naive enough to think that he could make these people willingly fight to the death with just a single order.

As for using force to make these people surrender and forcing them to follow him out of the city to fight, that was completely meaningless.

"You can do as you please."

Li Fei remained calm.

Regardless of whether these Daoji-stage officials help him or not, he intends to challenge the Imperial Camp Cavalry.

The [Flame Core] in his body has reached the Qi transformation stage, and the physical enhancement it brought has also ended. Next, he needs to stimulate it deeply in order to stimulate the core-level extraordinary abilities.

Just what is needed is a fierce battle!

Seeing Li Fei's firm attitude, several officials bowed to Li Fei in turn, then turned and left.

To the people around, it seemed like they had received Li Fei's orders and were going to carry out the mission.

Of the last five Dao Foundation Stage officials, only Lu Wenxing had not left.

Lu Wenxing gritted his teeth and walked to Li Fei.

Li Fei turned to look at him, somewhat surprised: "Why don't you leave, Lord Lu?"

Lu Wenxing smiled and said, "Didn't you say you wanted to make a bet with me? I want to stay and see if you can win."

Li Fei looked at him deeply, then turned and looked into the darkness in the distance:
"Then you better watch carefully."

11:17pm.

A martial artist ran towards the western wall of Chongcheng at an extremely fast speed.

After confirming his identity, a rope was lowered from the city wall. With the help of the rope, the martial artist quickly climbed up the city wall and came in front of Li Fei:
"Sir, they are coming! It's a convoy, and there are indeed imperial soldiers in the convoy, about fifty or so! The convoy is about five kilometers away from here."

This martial artist was a scout sent out by Li Fei.

Li Fei nodded: "Thank you for your hard work, take a breath and prepare for battle."

"Yes."

The martial artist retreated.

Li Fei glanced at the two city defense cannons that had been placed on the city wall in advance.

This thing is powerful enough, but unfortunately it can't be used against the Imperial Cavalry because it can't hit them.

"If the enemy attacks the city directly, Lord Lu will just have to lead his men to guard the city wall, and I will be in charge of the Imperial Camp Cavalry."

Li Fei said to Lu Wenxing.

Lu Wenxing seemed to want to say something but stopped himself and finally said nothing.

After a moment, Li Fei looked at the night ahead and said, "Here they come!"

Then he jumped off the city wall in one step!
Everyone on the city wall exclaimed when they saw this scene, not understanding what Li Fei was going to do.

In fact, not everyone understands the Imperial Camp Army, so many people on the city wall still think that the next battle to defend the city is just to defend the city wall well.

They didn't understand why Li Fei suddenly jumped down.

Only Lu Wenxing stared at Li Fei's back and subconsciously clenched his fists.

Li Fei held the Ghost Slayer in one hand and strode forward.

Looking at this calm back, Lv Wenxing suddenly felt that he was a little old.
A few minutes later, rays of light pierced the darkness ahead.

A convoy appeared in everyone's sight.

More than twenty large trucks appeared on the road, and there were armored cavalrymen on both sides of the convoy.

In a car, a middle-aged man in a white robe noticed Li Fei who was alone in front of him.

"Alone? Looking for death?"

He shook his head, holding the replica of the Daluo Order, and input a virtual thought.

He is a great wizard in the possession stage of the Zhengfa General Hospital of Jinshan Prefecture. He is also a direct disciple of the Daluo Sect and the leader of this team.

As he input the 'command', the imperial cavalry on both sides of the convoy immediately took action!
If it were an ordinary heavy cavalry, it would be basically useless if it ran dozens of miles without removing its armor.

But the mounts of these imperial cavalry are all exotic beasts, whose physical fitness is much stronger than that of war horses, and they are replenished with elixirs along the way to keep their physical strength sufficient at all times.

So even though it took several hours to travel, the combat power is still at its peak!
After receiving the order, the eyes of these imperial cavalrymen turned blood red again. They began to speed up and lined up in front of the convoy in the blink of an eye.

More than fifty cavalrymen from the imperial camp lined up in a row that was hundreds of meters wide.

Black evil energy surged out from their bodies and the bodies of the mounts under them, merging into one.

Then they began to charge, their speed getting faster and faster, and in the blink of an eye they had covered a distance of hundreds of meters!

Under the illumination of the rear headlights, the black evil spirit looked like a black wave, surging forward with astonishing momentum.

To devour everything!
That overwhelming murderous intent, even though it was thousands of meters away, made everyone on the city wall feel shaken and frightened!

It was not until this time that they knew what kind of enemy Li Fei was going to face alone!
Li Fei calmly pulled out the Ghost Slayer Sword, inserted the scabbard into the ground beneath his feet, then held the sword in one hand and rushed forward.

He faced more than fifty imperial cavalrymen alone and charged directly into them!
The third update I owed yesterday~
