Torches burned at the head of the city, making a crackling sound, and the soldiers of the second line of defense held a horizontal sword on the city wall, and one by one they looked tired and cheered up and patrolled the city.

From the beginning of tonight, they received a letter from the first line of defense, saying that the 10,000 iron cavalry of Beiyi had seized the pass in a big way, and the whole city was shaken.

Originally, they were ready to fight a tough battle, but they never thought that they were waiting left and right, and the spirit of death was almost exhausted, but the enemy was still delayed.

This made all the Tang troops in the second line of defense secretly wondered, the soldiers were fast, especially the Beiyi nomadic cavalry, the biggest advantage was speed and surprise, and they were usually like this, often like sharp knives, directly into the hearts of Tang people's henchmen, burning, killing and plundering, and retreating straight to the grassland, no one could help them.

As a result...... this time

Half an hour later, the messengers of the first line of defense came, swearing that they had repulsed the enemy...... Who believes this Nima? But Su Lie believes it!

"Brigade commander, did you say that the first line of defense was blown? Can they block 10,000 iron horsemen with a small fold?"

The brigade commander glared at him: "Hugh wants to say more, don't you know what Captain Hua is capable of?"

The Tang Jun muttered: "It's not that I don't believe in Captain Huadu's ability, how can I not believe even the people that our General Su admires very much, it's just ......"

It's just that he didn't say anything, but the brigade commander knew very well in his heart, because with a mere few hundred regular soldiers and a group of militiamen, it was really a bit of a fantasy to defeat the Beiyi Iron Cavalry with 10,000 people.

After all, although the Beiyi people are backward in equipment, they are as fierce as wild wolves in their bones, and compared with the armies of those small countries in the Western Regions, they are simply incomparable.

"However, a few days ago, the people in their first line of defense just repelled a wave of 5,000 Beiyi attack, and this time 10,000 people have doubled, so they should be able to do it...... Should?"

The brigade commander looked forward to it in his heart, even if the second line of defense had already been prepared, it would still be difficult to block the 10,000 Beiyi iron cavalry.

"Damn, if it weren't for the heavy losses of the first line of defense after that battle with the Khan of Jieli...... The people in the town guard are especially dry, and they haven't made up the first line of defense until now. ”

He didn't dare to let his guard down at all, no matter how much he hoped that the news was true, he also knew in his heart that the possibility was very small, after all, the messenger was not the same person as before, and it was still unknown whether he was disguised by the Beiyi people.

Suddenly, a long line of torches began to appear in the distance, and the dense and chaotic sound of horses' hooves sounded, and the brigade commander's face suddenly changed: "Sure enough, the enemy is coming!"

He hurriedly set his eyes on the majestic and burly, giant-like general who was standing at the head of the city, he was the backbone of their second line of defense - Su Lie.

Su Lie stared at the long dragon of torches that gradually appeared in the distance, and his face became heavy: "Be on guard!"

Su Lie thought for a moment and said in a low voice: "It shouldn't be from Beiyi, the speed is too slow, send a few scouts with good eyesight to go out to explore." ”

After a while, I saw a Tang riding a horse galloping towards the city, and said, "Can Su Duwei be at the head of the city?"

"Who are you here?"

"The first line of defense repelled the Beiyi army, the troops were exhausted, and there were spies who found out that the army of the demon seed of Khorezm was out of control and was coming here, so they abandoned the city and led the townspeople into the customs to settle down. Tang Qi said in a loud voice.

Su Lie's brows furrowed: "What about Captain Huadu?"

Tang Qi said in a loud voice: "Captain Hua and Captain Li are pressing in the rear, the demon army has broken through the first line of defense, time is pressing, please open the city gate quickly." ”

"General, beware of deception!" Captain Guo Yi said.

Su Lie nodded, his gaze crossed the night sky, looking at the people who were hurrying, their faces were tired and frightened, and occasionally a group of Tang cavalry would pass around them, everything seemed normal.

He hesitated for a moment, after all, the enemy was very likely to be hidden among these civilians, and the strategy of deceiving the city was tried and tested, because sometimes he had no choice at all.

Unless his heart is really hard as iron, he closes these people of the first line of defense out of the door, and then waits for what they call the "army of demon seeds" to eat them all.

And yet he couldn't.

"You can check how far the enemy is behind you, and if the second line of defense is broken overnight, if the tail comes. Captain Guo Yi said loudly.

Tang Qi said: "With Captain Hua and Captain Li behind, no one can escape their eyes. ”

"Where did Captain Li come from, his prestige is quite high. Guo Yi said.

Su Lie nodded: "The emerging killer of the first line of defense, it is said that the Beiyi elite who once killed a city wall by himself. ”

"Prepare to open the city gates!" Su Lie said in a loud voice, "Everyone pay attention to vigilance, and if there is any abnormal movement, shoot them immediately!" and send a messenger to inform the rest of the defense line to prepare carefully. ”

Originally, in the middle of the night, the gates of the Great Wall were resolutely not allowed to be opened, but in the border towns, the status of the generals was extremely high, and the Zhichong Prefecture even replaced the functions of the local government to a certain extent, and many government decrees could be decided by the Zhichong Governor.

[This overnight evacuation makes labor and management yawn.] 】

[Hehe, stupid, the actors are so dedicated, they almost show a real otherworld in front of us, but you yawn?]

[It's really boring, it's still Xiaobai's ten thousand sword tricks are handsome. 】

[Anyway, Li Bai has this skill? 】

[I don't think there's a problem, how can a hero only have three skills and one passive?]

[You still haven't slept so late, worried about sudden death!]

[Cultivating immortals. 】

Team last.

"The commander of this line of defense is called Su Lie, and he has dealt with him before, and he is a very good person. Hua Mulan said, "We can't retreat here anymore, there are many towns in the middle of the several lines of defense behind, if we give up this city pass, there will be a lot of Tang people buried in the mouth of the demon seed." ”

Li Bai said: "Then we will lead the troops to stay, I hope that the reinforcements of the broken leaves can come in time." ”

His expression was slightly strange, and he suddenly said: "I feel that something is wrong, many countries of all sizes in the Western Regions are separated by a desert from Khorezm to the west, why is such a huge demon race directly crossing the grassland and coming towards my Datang?"

Hua Mulan was slightly stunned: "Maybe our side is angry? It's not right, which of those ancient cities located on the Silk Road has a population that is not more than ours on the Great Wall defense line?"

"I feel like there's someone behind it. Li Bai said in a deep voice.

Hua Mulan thought for a moment and nodded: "That's right, it's possible." If you can control the demon seed...... It should be the Awakened, and it is a very powerful Awakened One. Because even the Demon Dao Master can't control these demon seeds that have fallen into madness now. ”

"Only the Awakened who are higher than their bloodline, and not a little bit higher, can do it. ”

Li Bai frowned and said, "Mulan, what is this awakened person?"

Hua Mulan explained: "Pure demon seeds have innate shackles, and they can't break through their shackles the day after tomorrow, such as those ancient demon giants Sun Wukong and Bull Demon King, they are not cultivated the day after tomorrow, but they are very powerful when they are born. ”

"The rest of the demon seeds are basically what level they make, what level they are when they die, even if they eat more flesh and blood, they can only increase their strength, but it is impossible to raise them from low-level demon seeds to medium, from medium-level to high. ”

"And the awakened one is a hybrid with the bloodline of the demon seed who has completely awakened the bloodline of his own demon seed, and can no longer maintain the appearance of a human being, and completely falls into the existence of the demon path. The strength of their strength ranges from low-level demon seeds to top-level demon seeds, but they have the qualifications to be able to break through the shackles of high-level demon seeds and become demon path giants. ”

"According to common sense, the awakened will generally retain their memories as human beings, and they will also have reason, but they will be affected by the will in the depths of their blood, and their hearts will change drastically, and at present, they will basically become bloodthirsty madmen and monsters. ”

Li Bai frowned, this awakened person is not a new thing, it seems to be similar to the awakened person in the big sword.

Just as I was thinking about it, a prompt suddenly sounded in my ears.

The final main story of the Great Wall Guardian is released: Kill the awakened who controls the demon seed and end the demon disaster.

Li Bai's face changed slightly: "I still guessed before, but now I can be sure that there must be awakened people behind this demon seed army." ”

Mulan was surprised: "Why?"

Li Bai said solemnly: "A man's intuition. ”

[God's special man's intuition. 】

【Flowey: .......】

[The anchor has already shown us the worldview of the king of pesticides, and suddenly it feels so grand!]

[Looking forward to the follow-up, I hope that a protracted plot like tonight can be brushed over in the future.] 】

[I took your head, how did you bring it live broadcast?

[Speaking of this awakened one...... Does Zhang Fei count?]

[Don't count, Zhang Fei can change back. 】

--------

Li Ke looked at the letter presented by Jin Wuwei's secret agent, and his face was cloudy.

"The first line of defense actually held on...... Damn Khorezm, the plans are all out of order. ”

He quickly flipped through a scroll of maps and sketched a few strokes on them, as if he could see through the rigid map the secrets hidden behind it.

Suddenly, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Well, maybe it's an opportunity. ”

"Immediately rush eight hundred miles to Chang'an, and tell Your Majesty that the demon seed is in turmoil, and the bitter meat plan is stopped, I will immediately lead the army to the front line and snipe the demon seed army. ”

"What about Princess Angui of the Loulan people? Immediately invite her to the house to talk. A smile gradually appeared on Li Ke's face, this is also a good opportunity, as long as he can use the strategy of driving away the tiger and devouring the wolf, at that time, the demon seed army will be led to the countries of the Western Regions, and those small countries will be powerless to resist, so they can only turn to me for help at that time.

Hey –

But my Datang Iron Rider is here, it's not so easy to go!

At that time, the thousands of miles of mountains and rivers in the Western Regions will all belong to the hands of my Datang!
