Chapter 2459 Zhang Xiu vs. Tu Xingsun (Part 1)
Chapter 2455: Zhang Xiu vs. Tu Xingsun (Part 1)
Tu Xingsun, who is a master of earth magic, is not slow in escaping underground, but it becomes even faster after using tools.
He kept recalling the terrain outside the city in his mind, and at the same time using his full strength, his hands quickly mixed with the shovel, so fast that he even had a ghost image.
There is a major constraint in using earth magic, that is, you must have a very good understanding of the terrain, otherwise you will lose your way while digging, and you will be dead once you dig into the river bed.
It is precisely because of this that people who practice earth magic have a strong sense of direction, and as a professional requirement, they will collect local terrain information in advance to prevent them from getting lost when escaping.
Tu Xingsun was no exception. He came to Quyou City two days in advance just to explore the terrain of Quyou so as to prepare for his escape later. He didn't expect that he would run away before his fire was burned. .
The layout of Quyou City has been seen through by Wu Qi. The Qin army will definitely not enter the city before they clear the hidden dangers in the city.
Even if Tu Xingsun prevents the fire, he will not be able to burn the Qin army. Instead, it will burn the people in the city to death, so he will definitely not set fire to it.
There is no point in staying. It is better to escape in time before the Qin army finds out, and see if Li Li can be rescued.
Tu Xingsun dug hard in the ground, and quickly approached the Qin army at a speed visible to the naked eye.
At the same time, on the ground.
Seeing that the Qin troops who entered the city had withdrawn again, Li Li's face suddenly turned pale. He knew that this must be Sima Yi's trap being seen through.
In order to make the Qin army relax their vigilance, he did not hesitate to ask all the defenders to lay down their weapons, but now the plan failed. The Qin army was not fooled, but he had no power to fight back.
Li Li knew that once Wu Qi came back, he would definitely die for pretending to surrender. He was not afraid of death, but he was not willing to die like this, so he was thinking about whether he could recruit a few people to support him.
What Li Li didn't know was that his anxious look and Wu Qi's withdrawal from the city had aroused Zhang Xiu's vigilance.
Zhang Xiu stared at Li Li and asked, "General Li Li, you seem to be very uneasy?"
“Yes, is there?”
"You have been restless since the beginning, and there is sweat on your forehead." Zhang Xiu said coldly.
Looking at Zhang Xiu who looked wary, Li Li was filled with despair. With his super strength, he could never be Zhang Xiu's opponent.
“General Zhang Xiu, you...”
Before Li Li finished speaking, a spear was pressed against his neck, and the person holding the gun was Zhang Xiu.
"Don't move, otherwise I can't guarantee that your head will still be there the next second." Zhang Xiu said coldly.
Li Lique said: "Are you really serious about surrendering to Qin? Don't forget, your uncle died at the hands of Li Cunxiao."
Hearing Li Li's words, Zhang Xiu suddenly fell silent, and at the same time concluded that there must be something wrong with the other party.
Seeing Zhang Xiu's silence, Li Li felt happy and continued to confuse him: "General Zhang Xiu, don't you want to avenge your uncle's murder..."
But before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Zhang Xiu.
“What’s the use of saying this now?
If I surpass Li Cunxiao in the future, I will challenge him and seek justice for my uncle.
If not, I think my uncle’s spirit in heaven can also understand my difficulties. "
Zhang Xiu said calmly.
Surrendering to Da Qin was undoubtedly an extremely painful decision for him before. After all, the death of his uncle had made him hate Da Qin extremely.
But the words of his master Tong Yuan awakened him: people cannot only have hatred. Under the persuasion of his master Tong Yuan and his junior brother Zhao Yun, Zhang Xiu decided to put aside his hatred and turn to the bright side. After all, his uncle Zhang Ji was dead, but he was still alive. He had to look forward.
Now Zhang Xiu has no regrets at all about surrendering to Qin, because only after surrendering could he truly appreciate the power of this country.
Zhang Xiu used to be a general of the Tang State. He knew that although the Tang State was strong, it was deformed, but the Qin Dynasty was different.
Da Qin's strength is all-round, without any flaws or shortcomings, and it will never be devastated by a few failures.
Da Qin has a background of trial and error, so it can afford to lose, but his opponents will be doomed if they lose once.
In the grand game of unifying the world, Da Qin is already in an invincible position.
"you…"
Li Li was immediately furious, but more importantly, he was still unwilling to give in. Even if he tried his best, he was still no match for Zhang Xiu, not to mention that he was currently defenseless.
“Tie Li Li and wait until the governor comes back before making a decision.” Zhang Xiu said coldly.
The Tang troops who surrendered saw their generals tied up, thinking that the Qin troops were going to kill the donkeys, which immediately caused a commotion.
However, the Tang army surrendered and had already disarmed. In the unarmed situation, facing the Qin army's bright sword, they naturally did not dare to make any drastic reaction.
After Zhang Xiu killed a few leaders, no Tang army soldiers dared to resist anymore. They all squatted in the corner with their heads in their hands.
After Zhang Xiu calmed down the commotion, he was ready to ask Wu Qi what happened in the city, but as soon as he left, the place where Li Li was was collapsed.
Li Li and the soldiers guarding him fell into a two-meter-deep hole.
"who?"
Zhang Xiu reacted very quickly. When he saw this situation, he immediately realized that there was an enemy. He picked up his spear and ran over to check. However, Li Li's voice was no longer in the pit, and there were only a few stunned soldiers left.
“Escape from the Earth?”
Zhang Xiu frowned, obviously he was no stranger to the method of escaping from the ground. After all, many spies and spies of the Qin Army knew this method, but pure generals like him obviously couldn't see it. Take this kind of escape path.
After Zhang Xiu quickly calmed down, he activated a secret method that greatly increased the hearing in both ears.
He wanted to hear where the person who rescued Li Li was after escaping into the land, but he heard nothing. It was obvious that he had already escaped very deep.
Zhang Xiu quickly lay down on the ground and listened. This time he heard the movement and judged the direction and distance.
"So fast?"
Zhang Xiu looked shocked. Although he did not know how to escape from the earth, he also knew that he could not move too fast in the earth. But this person led Li Li in the earth at such a fast speed. This was simply unheard of. !
“Don’t even think about escaping under my nose.”
After giving a low shout, Zhang Xiu picked up the spear and ran a hundred meters south. Then he leaped forward, shot down from top to bottom, and hit the ground with all his strength.
Boom…
After a loud noise, the ground was dented by Zhang Xiu, but nothing happened except smoke and dust.
Zhang Xiu ignored this and continued to pound the ground with all his strength while listening carefully.
