Chapter 55 Entering the City
After witnessing the tragic massacre of the Mongolian army at the border of the Song Dynasty, Wang Ming changed his original plan to go to the Mongolian Esoteric Buddhism Vajra Sect to obtain the "Dragon Elephant Prajna Sutra", and turned to Xiangyang City to help Guo Jing defend the city.

After a day of hard riding, they finally arrived at the outskirts of Xiangyang. All they could hear were the sound of military horns, flags flying, swords and spears like a forest, and horses galloping back and forth. Xiangyang City seemed to be shrouded in dust and sand. The Mongolian army had already formed a siege on Xiangyang City. Wang Ming was also extremely shocked when he saw this momentum.

Wang Ming thought to himself, "The Mongolian army is powerful. We can only wait until nightfall to enter the city."

At the same time, Wang Ming couldn't help but feel sorry that he hadn't been able to cultivate the "Vajra Indestructible Divine Art" to perfection, otherwise he could directly transform into a little golden man and treat the million-strong army as nothing. Without perfect cultivation, he could only use the body protection method of the "Vajra Indestructible Divine Art". This body protection method was mainly used to resist the damage of true qi, and was not very effective against physical damage.

For example, when Hong Qigong used the "Eighteen Palms of the Dragon Subduing" to attack Wang Ming, the damage from the Qi would be completely offset, and only 30% of the physical strength would be transmitted to the body. However, if a weapon is used, although the body protection method can also offset the Qi attached to the weapon, the body cannot withstand the damage of the weapon. Blunt weapons are better, and can only offset 30% of the damage, but sharp weapons can be used to penetrate the body in one go.

So Wang Ming was still afraid of the Mongolian army. As long as they shot thousands of arrows at him, Wang Ming would surely die. That would not be a pleasant feeling. He had experienced that set of emotions before.

At two or three in the morning, Wang Ming advanced towards Xiangyang City.

The Mongolian army's guards were really strict, with patrols everywhere, but these were not a big deal for Wang Ming. Wang Ming had practiced the "Phantom Sword" and was very familiar with light and darkness. In the night, it was easy for Wang Ming to find a blind spot. Then, relying on the lightness of moving across the air, he quickly moved his body in each blind spot.

Wang Ming was in the shadow of the tent in the blind spot, looking at the last few encirclements, thinking to himself: "Now we are only a few dozen meters away from the city wall. We can no longer find the last blind spot. It seems that we can only break through by force."

Wang Ming drew out a half-meter-long dagger from his waist and prepared to charge. He did not bring the giant iron sword with him, but a dagger. The giant iron sword, with its huge body and terrifying weight, was very advantageous in fighting with the gangsters, but it was not so good in the army. There were weapons in the army that were longer and heavier than the giant iron sword, and they would affect Wang Ming's charge, so he abandoned them on the road.

He used his Qinggong to dodge out of the shadows, stabbed the Mongolian soldier's heart from behind with a short sword, pulled it out instantly, then flashed behind another person and stabbed him with the sword. His figure flashed behind the sergeant like a ghost, and the soldier's life was gone.

The Mongolian army was divided into many arms. The soldiers surrounding the city walls were infantrymen. The armor of these infantrymen was single-sided armor, that is, only the front had metal armor plates. Such armor had three advantages: 1. Soldiers on the battlefield did not dare to flee, because if they fled, their unprotected backs would be exposed, and they would die faster, so they fought very fiercely. 2. It was light. Such armor reduced the physical requirements of soldiers and made their endurance more durable. 3. It was cheap. Even Genghis Khan's huge Mongolian Empire could not bear to put armor on the entire Mongolian army.

Of course, not all soldiers wear single-sided armor. They also have infantrymen in full-body armor, heavy-armored special forces in full-body armor, light cavalry in full-body armor, and light cavalry in single-sided armor.

At this time, Wang Ming was using the explosive speed technique of "Phantom Sword", but his sword technique was the "Evil-Defeating Sword Technique", which was Lin Pingzhi's rubbish sword technique.

When Lin Pingzhi first went to Mount Huashan, his fellow disciples sparred with him, but his family sword skills were completely vulnerable to them. It wasn't that his sword skills were rubbish, but that he had no speed.

The sword technique was very simple, straight forward, with no feints at all, and no subsequent changes after a sword was thrust out, so it was easy to be broken.

But when the speed increased, this sword technique was very powerful. Killing people was simple and fast without any unnecessary movements.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! Someone breaks into the camp!" The horn sounds.

The patrol team of the Mongolian army was not blind. After Wang Ming killed more than thirty soldiers, they reacted and organized a formation to capture Wang Ming.

The sound of the horn broke the quiet of the military camp at night, and those who were resting at night got up, took their weapons and walked out of the tents. At the same time, several centurions came to besiege Wang Ming. Although the other tents were alert, there was no sign of panic, which was enough to show the quality and good temper of the Mongolian army.

In the largest tent among the thousands of troops, a group of people gathered. They were also awakened by Wang Ming's movements.

"Who is this person who broke into the camp? How can he come and go freely among the soldiers?" A heroic and old voice sounded.

"Please forgive me, Khan! I don't know who this person is. Only the five great masters in the Central Plains martial arts world can have such skills. But judging from his martial arts and age, he does not fit the bill." A general replied.

The second Huashan Sword Contest had just ended, and the news that Wang Ming had become the number one in the world had not yet reached Mongolia, so naturally no one knew Wang Ming's identity.

“It doesn’t matter. No matter how high your martial arts skills are, it can only be defeated with one volley of fire.” That heroic and old voice sounded again.

"It's a pity that he is in our military camp, otherwise we could have killed him with arrows." said another person in officer uniform.

The Khan was naturally the great Genghis Khan, who had originally planned to destroy the Western Xia before attacking the Southern Song. However, Guo Jing and his mother could not escape, and Guo Jing had his secret order with him, which contained his battle strategy.

Fearing that the news might be leaked by Guo Jing, he changed his battle strategy. In order to prevent the Song Dynasty from making further deployments, he handed over the Western Xia battlefield, which had almost been fought, to Torei, and led the army himself to the city of Xiangyang. The battle in Western Xia had already ended, and Torei's presence there was only to clean up the mess.

The movement below the city was naturally noticed by the people on the city wall, so Guo Jing and Huang Rong went to the top of the city wall to check.

"It's Mr. Wang! He must be here to help us." Huang Rong said in surprise.

"Yes, lower the city gate quickly." Guo Jing hurriedly said to the soldiers around him.

But before the soldiers could convey the order, under the astonished gazes of the Mongolian and Song Dynasty armies, Wang Ming used the light skill "Tiyunzong" and easily climbed up the city wall.

Wang Ming, who climbed up the city wall, suddenly made the Song Dynasty soldiers have great doubts about the effectiveness of the city wall.

At the same time, the commander of the Mongolian army who was besieging Wang Ming was so angry that he cursed Liang, saying that Wang Ming was running around in his own army and it was difficult to shoot arrows. He planned to force Wang Ming to the wall of Xiangyang City, and then when the Song army opened the city gate to let him in, he would lead his troops into the city to take the first credit.

If the city gate was not opened, this guy would be a lamb to be slaughtered, so he was anxiously mobilizing infantry and cavalry, but this guy directly rushed to the top of the city, leaving him fighting wits and courage with the air for a long time.
