On the thirteenth day of the lunar month, before dawn, Lu Ming took a group of law enforcement hall town demon envoys to climb the re-strengthened south city wall, and saw a long dragon winding for ten miles in the distance, neatly aligned, rushing towards Qinglan City.

The earth was faintly trembling, and the city walls were trembling, this was a light horse of a thousand people, but it gave Lu Ming a kind of impact of thousands of troops and horses.

Even, under Lu Ming's far beyond ordinary people's eyesight, the hooves of the thousands of cavalry were all trampling on the same rhythm, and the flying smoke and dust seemed to be straight and orderly.

The most conspicuous is the Marquis of Ling Feng, who took the lead in the first horse, and under the backdrop of thousands of light horses, he looks even more handsome and extraordinary, like the stars holding the moon, and the pride of the sky who is loved by thousands of people.

"It's really going to be showy!" Lu Ming curled his hands in the sleeves of his robe, clenched slightly, and forcibly suppressed the surging blood in his heart, as well as the urge to go down and beat Ling Fenghou fatly.

Looking at the city guards who defended the city, most of them had sweat on their foreheads, and they rarely faced such battles, and only then did they really realize the difference between themselves and the Zhennan army.

"This is not an ordinary thousand-man team as Tie Lihua said at all, but the trump card in the Zhennan Army, right?" Lu Ming paid more attention to the aura exuded by those soldiers, and each of them was on top of the product.

Almost every one of these generals wore silver armor, carried a long sword at his waist, and was armed with spears and crossbows on horseback, so to speak.

Therefore, Ling Fenghou, the commander who took the lead in returning to the city to supervise, can be regarded as a high match, and being able to command such a team is enough to see his status and prestige in the Zhennan Army, and I am afraid that he will not change it if he is given a commander.

Thinking of the rumors in recent days and Tie Lihua's reminder, Lu Ming felt that this battle was really not optimistic, and it was likely to really evolve into a battle to defend the city.

Marquis Ling Feng did not lead his troops into the city, but stopped twenty miles away from the city wall, and then ordered the soldiers behind him to set up camp on the spot, and quickly set up camp tents on both sides of the official road.

Lu Ming could see clearly that Ling Fenghou himself did not enter the post station to enjoy and rest, but personally took the generals and guards beside him into a conspicuous silver-roofed tent.

"This Marquis of Ling Feng, he really has a set of marching and fighting, and he will be able to eat and live together with the officers and soldiers. Such a team, where can those loose cultivators compare?" Lu Ming couldn't help but secretly praise when he saw this scene, knowing that he still underestimated Ling Fenghou, and he was also worried about Lao Hei.

No matter from which point of view, Lao Hei can't please Ling Fenghou, that is, the strange taste of Tie Pear Flower, so he can look at Lao Hei.

Beginning in the afternoon of the same day, there was a steady stream of grain, grass, medicinal materials, and ordnance, which were escorted all the way from Donghua Mansion to Qinglan City, and then handed over to Ling Fenghou's generals, and then sent to the Zhennan Army hundreds of miles away.

Lu Ming would come to the city every day, watching the soldiers who were practicing the battle formation in the distance, or practicing his combined skills behind closed doors in the city tower. Time flies, and before you know it, it has reached the day of the 30th Chinese New Year's Eve.

"When the war is about to start, there must be human strategists in the barbarian demon realm, and they really choose to go to war on such a day. Lu Ming saw some signs from the tense scheduling and changes of those soldiers and generals under the city wall.

Of course, the most important basis for judgment is still from the arraignment of King Erniu of the Southern Wilderness.

Wang Erniu had already been under Lu Ming's orders, and sent the black ants to watch the movements of the barbarian demon leader from afar, according to the news he sent back, the barbarian demon leader had gathered millions of demon beasts and marched towards the border between the two sides, and the coming was fierce.

Sure enough, that night, as soon as the New Year arrived, the great war in southern Xinjiang broke out, and millions of demon beasts and the Zhennan army met each other, and they immediately fell into a tragic melee.

......

At the beginning of the 770 years of the imperial calendar, the barbarian demon leader and the beast gathering evil sect jointly attacked southern Xinjiang, and the Zhennan army rose up to meet the enemy, fighting hard for half a decade, and under the impact of the long-planned battle array of the barbarian demon leader, they were defeated and retreated.

On the fifteenth day of the first month, the king of Zhennan of the second rank of the dynasty fought with the flying tiger king led by the barbarian demon for a day and a night, and returned with serious injuries, and the Zhennan army retreated again, with more than 100,000 dead and wounded, and held Qinglan City. For a time, there were ten rooms and nine empty rooms in Qinglan City, and only the town demon division and the county yacheng guard were left to guard the city.

On the south city wall, there are people standing at this moment, except for the city guards, most of them are loose cultivators who have been trained by Tie Lihua, and they all look nervous, with a trace of uncontrollable excitement. For them, the battlefield is dangerous, but it also means great opportunity and wealth.

If you can make a contribution in the defense of the city, or capture the demon beast, you will be able to harvest both wealth and status, of course, the premise is to survive. It is also for this reason that these people can reluctantly accept Tie Lihua's short special training and stand on the head of this city.

However, Tie Pear Flower is not for everyone, and there are only more than 700 people left after the elimination. The rest of the people either fled in fear of the battle, or were driven away by Tie Pear Flower, and were destined to lose out on this big war.

Lu Ming and the people of the Demon Division were guarding around Tie Lihua, and when they raised their eyes, they were full of endless banners and tents.

The main force of the Zhennan Army did not enter the city, but only sent some of the wounded into the city to recuperate, while most of the others camped outside Qinglan City, stretching into patches to guard the people of the imperial dynasty. Qinglan City can be regarded as a temporary logistics support place for the Zhennan Army, and at the same time plays a role in preventing fires in the backyard.

At this point, the Zhennan army has no way to retreat, and behind it is Qinglan City, which is surrounded by mountains on both sides, if you let the demon beasts of the barbarian demon leader enter it, then you can really drive straight in, I don't know how many people will be captured or even slaughtered.

Therefore, the king of Zhennan has already ordered the whole army to defend Qinglan to the death, even if he fights to the last soldier, he must live and die with Qinglan City.

"According to the order of the King of Zhennan, the Barbarian Demon Leader is likely to send a master to attack Qinglan City, so that the Zhennan army will be exposed to the enemy. What we have to do is to defend this city and not let the Zhennan army cut off the supply of grain and grass. Tie Lihua was wearing silver armor and ordered to the group of demon envoys beside her.

"There is a shortage of masters in the army, and the government secretary and the strong people of Yunkong Mountain are responsible for escorting grain and grass, and they are too busy to take care of themselves, and we can only rely on ourselves. So, guys, prepare to fight to the death. Tie Pear Blossom glanced for a week, and her voice became even colder.

"No!" the demon envoys replied loudly.

"Lu Ming, you take two hundred people, guard the north gate, and receive grain and grass. ”

"Zhao Qingyun, you take two hundred people, guard the east gate, and sweep away the demons of Qinglan Mountain. ”

"Xu Ben, you take two hundred people and go to the West Gate, the medicine field can be left alone, but outsiders must not be allowed to attack the city. ”

Tie Lihua ordered in an orderly manner, these scattered cultivations that are all above the nine grades may not play much role if they go to the battlefield, but if they only cooperate with the Great Array and the Demon Town Division to defend the city together, it is the most suitable.

"Go ahead, once you encounter a strong enemy, send a message to me in time, and I will deploy rescue in time. Tie Lihua finally shouted with a hint of determination.

"No!" everyone agreed, and then they took the people away.

At the head of the city, beside Tie Lihua, there was only a majestic figure left, sitting cross-legged. Beside him, there was the black hammer that seemed to only be able to hit iron refiners.
