Chapter 372 The Slippery Old Eunuch

Yang Zhengshan stood on the parapet, with his spear pointed directly at King Qing.

"This humble general Yang Zhengshan greets King Qing!"

King Qing stared at him with sharp eyes, and said: "General Yang has good strategies and skills!"

"Thank you King Qing for the compliment!"

Yang Zhengshan's mouth curled slightly, and said: "Next, King Qing may have to be wronged!"

"You want to take me down, haha, it depends on whether you have the strength!" King Qing sneered.

Yang Zhengshan glanced around, and at this time, many soldiers of the Royal Guard Battalion had climbed up the city wall. With the strength of the Royal Guard Battalion soldiers, even the elite soldiers around King Qing and Ji Feiyu could hardly resist.

Without extra words, Yang Zhengshan jumped up and stabbed with his spear.

"Your Highness, you go first!" Ji Feiyu stood in front of King Qing, and the trident collided with Yang Zhengshan's spear.

However, he still underestimated Yang Zhengshan's cultivation. Just now, when he blocked the short gun shot by Yang Zhengshan, he felt that Yang Zhengshan's strength was above his, but he still underestimated Yang Zhengshan's strength.

Yang Zhengshan's strength was not above his, but far beyond his.

The heavy black iron spear was swung and pressed on the trident. With a bang, Ji Feiyu actually lost his grip on the trident.

Ji Feiyu's pupils suddenly condensed, and before he could react, Yang Zhengshan had already hit him in the chest with a gun.

With a bang, the terrifying force came, and Ji Feiyu only felt a pain in his chest, followed by a fishy sweetness gushing out of his throat and spurting out.

Ji Feiyu's cultivation was not weak. He had the ninth level of the acquired cultivation. Although he had just broken through to the ninth level, he was the highest among the generals of Chongshan Town.

Whether it was the last general Liang Chu or the last general Zhang Shouwang, they were only the eighth level of the acquired cultivation.

More importantly, he is only in his forties, and his body is not exhausted yet, and he is at his peak.

In comparison, Yang Zhengshan is already fifty years old. It stands to reason that Yang Zhengshan's body has begun to age, but in fact, Yang Zhengshan's body is still full of vitality, with no signs of aging at all.

In addition, Yang Zhengshan is already half a step into the innate realm, and the gap between them is like a world of difference.

With just one blow, Ji Feiyu was seriously injured and fell to the ground.

"Take the prince away!"

Seeing that Ji Feiyu was no match for Yang Zhengshan, Zhang Yu immediately urged the guards around him to take Prince Qing away, and at the same time he jumped up and met Yang Zhengshan.

A narrow and long soft sword popped out from his sleeve, and the sharp sword edge stabbed towards Yang Zhengshan in an extremely strange way with the black iron spear.

Yang Zhengshan's eyes flickered slightly, and his body suddenly retreated, pulling away from him and standing on the parapet.

Zhang Yu did not chase him, but just held the soft sword in his hand, standing there and watching Yang Zhengshan vigilantly.

And Yang Zhengshan also stared at him.

An old eunuch actually has a half-step innate cultivation!

This was somewhat beyond his expectations.

He knew Zhang Yu. The Secret Guard had provided him with files about Zhang Yu. The files did show that Zhang Yu had a good cultivation, but there was no accurate record of how high his cultivation was.

This was normal. Zhang Yu had always been with King Qing. People like him rarely had the opportunity to take action, and it was difficult for outsiders to know his specific cultivation and strength.

Half-step innate!

He was also a half-step innate master who was good at using strange weapons such as soft swords.

Yang Zhengshan felt a little tricky!

The soft sword was not a conventional weapon, it should be considered a strange weapon, and such a strange weapon was very troublesome, because its moves were not only varied, but also difficult to guess.

As the saying goes, knowing yourself and the enemy will win every battle. Facing an opponent whose moves are unpredictable, it is naturally much more difficult to win.

"I didn't expect that King Qing would have a master like you around him!"

Yang Zhengshan said in a deep voice.

"We didn't expect General Yang to have the cultivation of half a step to the innate!" Zhang Yu's wrinkled face was full of solemnity.

Yang Zhengshan just thought he was difficult, but he knew he was no match for Yang Zhengshan.

The reason was simple. He was already over sixty years old, and his body functions had long begun to decline, so his strength was discounted.

Acquired warriors cannot stop the aging of the body, even if they are half a step to the innate. Of course, due to different personal constitutions and physical conditions, the aging of the body will also be different.

For example, a warrior whose body is tortured by hidden injuries may age early, and his strength may begin to decline before he is forty years old.

If a person has no hidden injuries and has never been seriously injured in his life, his strength may not begin to decline until he is fifty years old.

After the cultivation reaches half a step to the innate, the time of physical decline will be delayed, but the delay will not be long, generally about ten years.

So although Zhang Yu's strength began to decline, the degree of decline was not great. Of course, he could not compare with Yang Zhengshan.

Yang Zhengshan not only has the cultivation of half a step into the innate realm, but his body has been nourished by the spiritual spring water for a long time, and his body functions still maintain the vitality of youth.

Therefore, Yang Zhengshan's strength has not declined, but because of the nourishment of the spiritual spring water, his strength is even stronger.

To stop the aging of the body, the only way is to enter the innate realm.

In the innate realm, the true energy returns to its roots in the body, and it exists continuously, making it neither cold nor hot, and naturally transforming, so that the body is reborn and rejuvenated.

Therefore, the life span of an innate warrior is much longer than that of an ordinary person, and the long-lived can even reach three hundred years.

At the same time, the strength of the innate warrior comes from the accumulation and characteristics of the innate true qi, which leads to a situation that the older the warrior, the stronger he becomes.

It does not mean that an older innate warrior is necessarily stronger than a younger innate warrior, but that the strength of an innate warrior will increase with age, or more accurately, the strength will increase with the accumulation of time.

However, at the moment, Yang Zhengshan and Zhang Yu are not innate warriors, they are only half-step innate, and they are a distance away from the innate that looks close but is actually very far away.

The two confronted each other, and the battle around them became more and more tragic.

As the guards climbed the city wall, the battle entered the most intense stage.

Under the city, Song Dashan finally knocked open the city gate, but they only entered the city wall. They had to knock open the second city gate before they could enter the city.

"Brothers, follow me!" Song Dashan rushed into the city wall regardless of anything, and there were still enemies in the city wall, and the two sides started a fight in the city wall.

In the city, Yang Mingzhi and Yang Mingzhen have joined together. They are attacking the city gate, hoping to open it, but they are facing many enemies.

Although many soldiers in the city have defected, the troops under Ji Feiyu originally exceeded those under Yang Zhengshan, and most of the soldiers were still climbing the city. In fact, the number of enemy troops in the city far exceeded the defected soldiers.

However, the city gate on the middle wall of Chongshan Pass has been opened at this time. Lu Chongde is leading thousands of defected soldiers out of the north city, thinking of attacking the city gate in the south.

Shouts and killings spread throughout Chongshan Pass, and there were fierce fights everywhere on the streets and walls.

Listening to the noisy shouts and killings, watching the figure of King Qing disappear on the city wall, Yang Zhengshan waved his spear and killed Zhang Yu again.

An inch longer, an inch stronger!

Yang Zhengshan waved his spear and forced Zhang Yu to retreat again and again. No matter how many changes his soft sword made, there was no room for actual combat.

Using a soft sword to block Yang Zhengshan's spear is just a pipe dream.

However, Zhang Yu is really difficult to deal with. Yang Zhengshan fought with him for more than 30 rounds, but he was able to dodge them all.

Zhang Yu's martial arts is more like that of a martial artist in the rivers and lakes. He is good at light body skills and body movements. His moves are strange and changeable, suitable for single combat. Although Yang Zhengshan has made up for his shortcomings in light body skills and body movements, his light body skills and body movements are undoubtedly much worse than Zhang Yu's.

This has led to the current situation. Yang Zhengshan chased Zhang Yu and beat him. Zhang Yu could only dodge but was unable to fight back, but it was difficult for him to take Zhang Yu down in a short time.

The two people fought from the bottom of the city gate tower to the top of the city gate tower, and then from the top of the city gate tower to the city.

Zhang Yu fled around like a stray dog, but Yang Zhengshan just couldn't take him down, which made Yang Zhengshan a little anxious.

This old eunuch is slippery and really annoying.

In a hurry, Yang Zhengshan threw out a handful of copper coins.

Dozens of copper coins flew, but Zhang Yu, the old eunuch, still dodged them.

The Thousand Machine Hands, who had always been able to win by surprise, also failed in front of Zhang Yu.

"Damn, this old eunuch is really hard to deal with!"

Yang Zhengshan really had no choice but to compete with Zhang Yu for endurance.

In fact, such a fight consumes a lot of physical strength, especially for Zhang Yu, whose physical strength was not as good as Yang Zhengshan, and dodging consumes more physical strength than attacking, so his consumption far exceeds Yang Zhengshan.

Time passed by, and Zhang Yu was already exhausted!

While Yang Zhengshan was fighting with Zhang Yu, Yang Mingzhi and Yang Mingzhen also encountered trouble. They met Hou Yao.

Hou Yao's cultivation was similar to Liu Zeqing, with the eighth level of the acquired cultivation, while Yang Mingzhi and Yang Mingzhen both had the seventh level of the acquired cultivation.

However, the two of them have also been nourished by the spiritual spring water for a long time. Although their physiques are not as exaggerated as Yang Zhengshan's, they are far superior to those of the same level.

The two of them joined forces to fight Hou Yao and fought evenly.

But in this way, they were no longer able to attack the city gate and could only fall into a bitter battle.

Outside the city, Uncle Song had already dealt with the enemy in front of him. They had pushed the battering ram to start hitting the second city gate.

Inside the city, the thousands of soldiers who had defected and gathered by Lu Chongde were also in a bitter battle. The more soldiers he gathered, the more enemies he attracted.

The breakthrough point of this battle fell on Niuzhuang and Tang Feihu.

When all places were in a bitter battle, Niuzhuang and Tang Feihu occupied a large area of ​​the city wall in the east and west, and were working hard to expand the results of the battle. More and more soldiers climbed up the city wall, and more and more soldiers rushed into the city from the city wall.

As more and more soldiers rushed into the city, the balance of victory began to tilt towards Yang Zhengshan.
