The more Lei Yueying spoke, the more angry she became: "You said that if you don't have that ability, forget it, I have nothing to ask for, who let me take a fancy to you." But you see how many times you have gone up and down in the past two years? Promotions and demotion from others are a big deal, and when you come here, it's like drinking cold water!"

Zhao Hong said seriously: "Yueying, I am willing to use military merits and officials to replace the lives of those hundreds of thousands of people without suffering, the Zhang family has indeed led many families to commit treason, but this matter should not implicate so many innocent people." Besides, the treason led by the Zhang family has already caused huge fluctuations in the country, and if we blindly suppress the fluctuations and execute more than 100,000 people who have been implicated, we will bury an even greater curse. ”

Lei Yueying said dissatisfiedly: "Hmph! Anyway, these are all you learned from your brother You, I can't talk about you!"

Zhao Hong coaxed Lei Yueying and said softly: "Okay, okay, I'm hungry, Lord Yueying can you make me something to eat?"

"Hmph, what do you want to eat... "Anything, I like to eat whatever you do... Lei Yueying walked out of the military tent with Zhao Hong.

Twenty days later, in the middle of the night, a continuous rush of sirens sounded from the passes in the valley of sunset. Zhao Hong hurriedly turned over and walked out of the military tent, and a scout knelt in front of Zhao Hong and said, "General Qiyu, a large number of fierce beasts suddenly appeared in the valley and are launching a crazy attack on our pass. ”

Zhao Hong asked in a deep voice: "What is the approximate number, can you see it clearly?"

The scout replied, "I can't see clearly, now I just know that the whole valley is full of fierce beasts!"

The most worrying thing still came, Zhao Hongchao ordered the generals who rushed to his side: "You don't have to panic, just do it step by step as I took you to practice before, and go and do the tasks assigned to you before you go." ”

In order to deal with this situation, Zhao Hong had already led the crowd to practice twice before. Although everyone didn't understand what Zhao Hong was tossing, no one dared not listen to the orders of the most temperamental general in the Ice Plains Theater, and it was not until today that everyone understood Zhao Hong's precautions.

In less than a quarter of an hour, except for the 5,000 soldiers who were fighting at the pass, the remaining 20,000 soldiers were all assembled. Zhao Hong smiled at Lei Yueying beside him and said, "Okay, I'll leave the rest of the things here to you." ”

Lei Yueying stared at Zhao Hong's eyes and said seriously: "If you want to live, I will wait for you to marry me." ”

Zhao Hong smiled at Lei Yueying and said, "Don't worry, let Brother You come to drink our wedding wine and go!" Then, Zhao Hong turned over his horse, waved his hand to his soldiers, and shouted: "Brothers, follow me to kill all the fierce beasts and guard the Sunset Valley!!"

At this time, the pass of Sunset Valley was illuminated by countless torches as if it were day, and the deafening sound of beasts echoed throughout the valley. Although Zhao Hong had sent people to strengthen the city wall to a height of more than eight zhang three times before, there were still fierce beasts with two or three zhang length, one by one, constantly trying to jump onto the city wall.

Whenever the beast's front paws clasped the wall in an attempt to climb the wall, the soldiers on the wall would attack with heavy axes and heavy crossbow arrows, causing the beast to fall again. At the same time, the other soldiers would constantly throw boulders and fire oil at the beast under the city wall, and ordinary bows and arrows could not penetrate the beast's thick and hard fur.

Soon, the crazy beasts instinctively changed the target of the attack, and the moment they jumped high, the beasts began to frantically bite the soldiers on the city wall. Some of the soldiers were bitten by the beast, and some soldiers were directly slapped down the city wall by the giant claws of the beast.

Under the city walls, the fierce beasts that were pressed to the bottom of the city wall used their huge bodies to continuously hit the city wall. Hundreds of fierce beasts slammed into the city wall together, causing the entire city wall to vibrate violently and irregularly.

Zhao Hong led his generals to climb the city wall, watching the fierce battle between the soldiers and the fierce beasts in front of him, and the fierce beasts in the valley in the distance were densely packed with endless fierce beasts, feeling the vibration of the city wall with the dull impact sound.

Zhao Hong was shocked at this time: "The number of fierce beasts in the valley right now is estimated to be more than the number of fierce beasts that our Zhao family has killed on this wasteland ice field in the past ten years, right?"

One of Zhao Hong's lieutenants said to Zhao Hong: "Fortunately, the general strengthened the city wall three times in advance, otherwise this section of the city wall would not have been able to withstand such a strong collision of hundreds of fierce beasts." ”

Zhao Hong took a deep breath and said, "Even if you can resist it now, it is estimated that you won't be able to withstand it for a few days if you hit these beasts like this." ”

Another lieutenant general asked worriedly, "Then I wonder if the general has any other good plan?"

Zhao Hong shook his head and said, "There is no other way than to defend it." If there is a break in the attacks of these beasts, they will immediately send men to repair the walls. We must not let this place be lost, if we let so many fierce beasts enter the territory of our Yanyun Kingdom, then it will only be a matter of time before our Yanyun Kingdom loses the entire war in the Ice Field War Zone. ”

When the generals heard Zhao Hong's words, they were all shocked, no one thought that the Sunset Valley, which was so remote from the entire ice field theater, would actually become the key to determining the outcome of the entire war.

The adjutant general thought for a moment and said, "Our emergency signal has been issued, as long as we can hold out for a few days, the rescue army should arrive here in time." ”

Zhao Hong looked at the distance of the valley and said: "Don't think about it, we haven't come to the army of the Ghost Sect here, and only these fierce beasts have attacked, which means that the Ghost Sect has not dispersed its forces for a sneak attack on us at all, so do you say that they will know that we are located in a remote area, and it will take more than ten days to organize an army from the rear to support here? What if at this time, the Ghost Sect and the Zhang family rebels attack the frost defense line at the same time, and drag down the army that wants to return from the front line?"

"What do you mean, General, that we're isolated now?" the generals asked in surprise.

Zhao Hong looked at the lieutenant generals with a smile and asked, "What's wrong?"

All the generals saluted together and shouted: "Defend the family and the country, and die without resentment!"

Zhao Hong nodded and said: "Okay, our city wall can't accommodate all our soldiers at the same time, divide our soldiers into three groups in groups of seven thousand people, take turns to defend on the city wall, and change guards every three hours." The remaining 4,000 men were ready to replace the lost troops on the city walls. ”

All the soldiers turned around and went down to make arrangements, and Zhao Hong, accompanied by several personal guards, walked to the soldiers in front of the fierce battle. In between, Zhao Hong jumped up with a spear in his hand and smashed a fierce beast that had just jumped up with a single shot. Since Zhao Hong's spear completely confessed to Zhao Hong two years ago, Zhao Hong's strength has taken a qualitative leap in the past two years.
