Lightning and Thunder, Heaven and Earth Vibrate, Heavy Rain Sheds the Sky!

At the same time as King Yan's forces were moving from Dachang County, someone arrived at Juhe County.
Xu Bailu was a Daoist nun who looked to be in her early thirties. He was wearing a light green Daoist robe with a white deer pattern embroidered on it. He wore a lotus flower crown and carried a long sword on his back. He looks handsome and heroic.
Her appearance was extremely beautiful, and she could be said to be capable of causing the downfall of a country. His skin was as white as jade, and his facial features were incompatible. Especially her eyes, her eyes were very bright, and her eyelashes were thin and long. She exuded a beautiful and otherworldly feeling, but at the same time, she also looked a little charming.
However, Xu Bailu's great reputation in the martial world was not only because of her beauty, but also because of her own strength.
He was the Elder of the Yuhua Sword Pavilion, a Grandmaster at the peak of the Profound Gate Realm. He was only half a step away from the Xiantian Realm and could be considered a top expert in the world.
He is known as the "Absolute Sword".
Such a figure usually had a very strong personal will.
Therefore, the first thing Xu Bailu did when he came to Juhe County was to head straight to the county office despite the inducements from Fang Min and Zhou Caiwei.
He wanted to see Cui Heng.
"Master, you can't!" Zhou Caiwei stood in front of Xu Bailu. “Cui Regional Master is the main office here. If you rush to the office of the area like this, there will only be a conflict.”
“If I don't look for him, Juhe County will be sacrificed by him.” Xu Bailu sneered. “The whole city has less than 300 soldiers, and there are no plans to recruit troops. How does this look like a city defense?”
"This ..." Fang Min also persuaded on the side, "Maybe he is waiting for Master to come and take over. You can negotiate with King Yan's army after you come. No need..”
“Negotiation also requires them to buy time by maintaining the city.” Xu Bailu raised his hand to interrupt and said in a low voice, “I will meet the judge of this area now and take charge of all the affairs here. We must mobilize the manpower we can use to defend the city as quickly as possible so that we can negotiate.”.
He stopped suddenly, his ears twitching as he frowned. "Is that the sound of the gate opening?"
Then, Xu Bailu rushed out of the residence.
"Master!"
"Master!"
Fang Min and Zhou Caiwei hurriedly followed.
Currently, the door to Juhe County City was open.
This was because the guards in front had already detected the movements of King Yan's forces in Dachang County. Soon, the troops will arrive.
Therefore, Cui Heng ordered Monk Hui Shi to lead an army organize and lead the refugees into the city to seek refuge.
Xu Bailu happened to see this sight.
She's stunned.
Moreover, after seeing the smiles on the faces of the refugees, Xu Bailu sneered and said, “It looks like the Judge of Cui County still has a conscience. He knew letting the refugees enter the city to avoid the ravages of war outside the city.”
"Master, Mr. Cui County has decided this." Zhou Caiwei realized that his master's demeanor seemed to have softened a little, so he smiled and said, “Cui County master is actually very kind-hearted. He will never give up and give up the city.”
The surrender of the city meant that the people in the district would be under the rule of the army of King Yan.
After all, in this era, there was no such thing as marching without looting. Prohibiting a raid would not make the soldiers give up their will, and the army could not be motivated and mobilized.
It is impossible for a generous person to do such a thing.
"Just because he's nice doesn't mean he's not naive." Xu Bailu shook her head and said, “Maybe she thinks that as long as she surrenders and gives up the city, she can save the people in the city from war.
“However, King Yan's army is tyrannical. Along the way, they plundered many people. No local officials survived. Local residents will also be robbed and insulted. Even if they give up, there will be no good results.”
At this moment, a young man who had just passed them suddenly turned around and ran back.
He raised his hand and pointed towards Xu Bailu with a sharp gaze. He gritted his teeth and said, “What did you just say? You actually slandered the Regional Lord, saying that he would surrender and present the city? The Lord of the Regency is a great man. How could he present the city!”
It was Zhao Goudan, who had just entered the city.
At this moment, Third Uncle also followed. He pulled Zhao Goudan and said in a low voice, “Goudan, this person's identity is unusual. We just entered the city, so don't make trouble.”
"No! My life was given to me by the Region Lord. How can I ignore his slander?”
Zhao Goudan stood still and looked at Xu Bailu. “Listen, we all escaped from Dachang County. The head of the district knew very well what kind of person Yan's dog was. It was impossible for him to give up!
“I will also risk my life for the Region Lord. Even if I had to spill my last blood, I would never give up on the dogs of Yan!”
His words immediately echoed with countless refugees and they shouted loudly.
"We will spill our last blood for the Regional Lord and never give up on the Yan dogs!"
"We will spill our last blood for the Regional Lord and never give up on the Yan dogs!"
Shouts of these refugees also infected the army and local townsfolk.
At first they still felt fear because of the upcoming war, but now, they felt their blood boiling.
At the same time, they also realized that the property and land they owned now were all shared by the Regional Rulers. If King Yan's army broke through the city, they would probably lose everything.
"We will spill our last blood for the Regional Lord and never give up on the Yan dogs!"
"We will spill our last blood for the Regional Lord and never give up on the Yan dogs!"
...
For a moment, the voices in Juhe County City soared high into the sky, and fighting intent surged.
This greatly shocked Xu Bailu. He said in surprise, "Is Judge Cui County so popular?"
Now, he no longer intended to take over the affairs of Juhe County by force.
This was because he knew very well that he could not compare to Cui Heng in terms of mobilizing public opinion.
However, Xu Bailu was very confused.
Since they had hot-blooded citizens, why didn't they recruit people to guard the city?
As long as they organized their people and persisted for a period of time, it would definitely not be a problem to buy time for negotiations.
She suddenly had a strong curiosity about Cui Heng and wanted to find him to have a good chat and ask what he was thinking.
Bang out! Bang out! Bang out!
At this moment, everyone suddenly felt the ground under their feet tremble. Moreover, the trembling feeling was getting stronger and closer.
“That's Yan's dogs! The Yan army is here! This is the sound of their cavalry legs!” Called for a refugee from Dachang County. These sounds and vibrations were the beginning of their nightmares. They would never forget it even if they died.
Upon hearing this voice, many citizens who were still screaming in hot blood instantly felt their bodies turn cold. A terrifying scene flashed across their minds, and their bodies involuntarily trembled.
At this moment, another shout came from ahead.
“Lord Region has ascended to the city gate! The County Ruler will personally defend the city!!”
This news immediately caused an incredible sensation.
“Friends, let's go! Let's go to the city gate and help Lord County defend the city and kill the dogs of Yan!” Someone shouted. Soon, hundreds of people responded. Soon, many refugees who had just entered the city to avoid disaster followed.
Many people were afraid to grit their teeth and follow.
Zhao Goudan was the first to follow.
Third Uncle followed without hesitation.
Xu Bailu looked at the large crowd and fell silent. After a while, he suddenly said to Fang Min and Zhou Caiwei, "Let's go and see how Lord Cui County will defend the city."
...
How does it feel to see 50,000 troops running towards them?
Afraid!
An unprecedented fear.
Including Qi Condensation Realm experts like Lu Zhengming and Hui Shi, as well as all the warriors who had climbed the city walls to participate in the defense, they all felt fear from the bottom of their hearts.
Facing 50,000 troops, the strength of a single person was too small.
Whether it was Qi Condensation, Qi Transformation, Profound Gate, or even the Xiantian Grandmaster, in the presence of absolute numbers, they were all not worth mentioning.
As for the citizens who came to help defend the city, they climbed the city wall under the leadership of the army. When they saw the sight of 50,000 troops galloping, they were so frightened that their legs went limp.
Xu Bailu also brought Fang Min and Zhou Caiwei to the city wall. With Zhao Guang leading, they were not stopped.
After looking at the situation on the city walls, he realized that he was too optimistic before.
Even if they were to actually organize the entire city for defense, it would probably be a waste. Facing the attacks of 50,000 soldiers, those who were not professionally trained were unable to withstand the fear at all.
How can they defend the city?
They might not even have the chance to negotiate!
Xu Bailu looked at Cui Heng who was standing in front.
The young face of Cui Heng shocked Xu Bailu.
What surprised him even more was that the county magistrate of Juhe County had a confident smile on his face.
"Where did he get his confidence?" Xu Bailu was confused. This is a definite death situation.
"Regency Master, what should we do now?" Zhao Guang was the first to ask in a low voice. This question immediately caught everyone's attention.
Lu Zhengming and Monk Huishi also turned their heads.
Although they had all seen Cui Heng's magical methods, especially Hui Shi who had seen Cui Heng's fire power, they still wanted to know what Cui Heng wanted to do.
After all, even though he knew in his heart, the pressure brought by those 50,000 soldiers was indeed too oppressive.
"Bring me a bowl of water," suddenly Cui Heng said to Zhao Guang.
"Ah? Alright alright!" Zhao Guang hurriedly turned to pour water, but she was confused, not knowing what Cui Heng wanted to do.
The others also looked confused.
Clear water?
What does he need water for now?
...
10,000 horses were racing and sand was flying everywhere!
By this time, Wang Shun had led a 50,000-strong force to a place less than three miles away from Juhe County.
On his left and right were Wei Cun and Yan Sheng.
Wang Shun looked at the city wall in front of him and laughed loudly. “This city wall is actually very low. I'm afraid it's not 20 feet tall. I have 50,000 brave and fierce men. I don't think it'll even take half a day. I can break through the city in four hours!”
"Haha, you're too humble." Wei was on the side and flattered, “The spy has sent out the news that there are only about 200 soldiers in Juhe County. I feel that we will be able to penetrate the city in two hours!”
“That's Cui Heng. He's on the city wall. He is personally here to defend the city!” Yan Sheng's brows furrowed deeply. He got out of the place with the other two. "Mister Cabinet, this guy ..."
“This guy is amazing. We have to be careful, don't we?” Wang Shun interrupted Yan Sheng with a cold smile and said with disdain, “I'm tired of hearing it!
“Truly in vain Zen Master De Kong helps you recover your martial arts. A Grandmaster actually became a scared piece of trash half to death. You are not allowed to speak from now on. Just listen to my orders and fight!”
"Cabinet Minister Yan, you really ..." Wei Cun shook his head and smiled. "Junk! ”
"You!" Yan Sheng was confused and irritated. When he saw Cui Heng in the distant city walls, a strong sense of panic appeared in his heart, as if disaster was about to befall him.
"Sister brothers! Be quiet! Follow me to break through the city!” Wang Shun had already shouted loudly and ordered the flag officers to signal for the entire army to attack.
He wanted to break through the city gates at once!
...
On the city walls of Juhe County, when everyone saw 50,000 soldiers start attacking, the panic and fear in their hearts instantly increased.
"You can get ready to leave the city to arrest the prisoner." But at this moment, Cui Heng suddenly said something that no one could understand.
But they quickly understood.
Cui Heng raised the bowl of water he just wanted and casually threw it into the sky.
Shimmering water droplets scattered across the sky, but not a single one fell. They all flew into the sky and disappeared into the clouds as if they were guided by a strange power.
At the same time, a strong wind suddenly blew outside of Juhe County. Sand and rocks flew, the sky darkened, and the sun and moon dimmed.
Then-then
It's thundering!
Lightning struck, thunder rumbled, the sky shook, and a torrential rain fell!
It was as if the apocalypse had befallen King Yan's army.
