The north gate of Jicheng is called Chengtian Gate. This is, of course, the old name of the Yan King City. And since this important city was returned to the Zhao State, there was no other name. It's still called Chengtianmen. It is customary to call it the North Gate.

Chengtianmen is less than 100 miles away from the Yanshan Mountains. If you come from the direction of the north, after passing through the mountains and mountains, and then fifty or sixty miles from Pingchuan, you will arrive at the north city gate.

In such a dangerous geographical location, the importance of Chengtianmen is self-evident. Over the years, there have been several major wars here. Especially the enemies from the steppe, when they were at the height of their forces, once shot arrows at this city gate. It's just that because of the dangerous terrain and strong defense of the northern city, it is very difficult to break the city from here.

As twilight fell, the city seemed a little quiet. I haven't seen the shadow of Hu Ren for several days. This also made the defenders secretly breathe a sigh of relief. After a succession of big battles, both sides needed a temporary recuperation. This short period of two or three days is already very rare.

The young general in charge of guarding the Chengtian Gate was named Lugua. Because he has a baby face and likes to joke, he was called "Brother Hulu" by General Li Mu. The whole army is also called this way, and he doesn't care about it, but likes it very much.

Lu Gua guarded the northern city gate with 2,000 men, and he didn't dare to leave an inch these days. However, compared to the siege of Xicheng and Dongcheng, the pressure on his side is relatively small. Perhaps the Hu people knew the fortification of the North City Gate and did not plan to spend more effort here. Therefore, except for the first few major battles, the soldiers and horses on this side are all besieging but not attacking, showing that they are fighting in cooperation with other sides.

Even so, they did not dare to slack off in defending the city. lest there be a mistake and betray the trust of the general. Originally, everyone was very confident and morale was very high. But he never expected that bad news suddenly came out of the city. The great general Li Mu was assassinated and died!

The city was suddenly plunged into sorrow and panic. Morale has plummeted. Lu Gua's face also lost his smile, and the huge man didn't know how many times he cried. In the eyes of his subordinates, the atmosphere became extremely heavy. No one dares to make a mistake easily at this time, otherwise they will be severely reprimanded or even punished.

After nightfall, the weather in the city becomes a little cold. A fire was lit in the place where they took turns resting. A dozen hearts surrounded General Lugua, and they roasted food on the fire to feed their stomachs. If it is in the eyes of the subordinates on patrol, these generals are naturally full of sorrow. I'm afraid I've lost faith in the future. It's just that some people may never have expected that in this silent atmosphere, those generals who were gobbling up food couldn't suppress the excitement in their hearts.

"General...... How long will we have to wait? ”

Someone asked in a low voice, and Lugua glared at him. The man hurriedly lowered his head, not daring to ask again. However, all of them then heard the sound of horses' hooves coming towards them from within the city. The general of the city defense looked happy, and he replied in a low voice.

"Let's get ready...... It should be almost!"

One of the torches in the fire burst open, as if it had exploded everyone's hearts. The blood began to boil all over the body. They have been preparing a decisive battle for this for a long time, and this is how it comes!

The hour was about about the day of the shift, thirty miles away from the north gate of Jicheng. The Hu prince Zuo Du Wang Mo Tietou led an army of 100,000 and was ready to attack the city.

This eldest prince of King Hu has inherited the brutal and powerful characteristics of Moke. His original name was Mo Guang, and the reason why he changed his name to Mo Tietou was because he thought that such a name was in line with his invulnerability ability. The eldest prince was taught by strangers in the Western Regions and practiced kung fu. An ordinary knife slashing at his body couldn't hurt him at all. Even the sharp arrows on the grassland, if not within the optimal range of the most lethal fire, will not hinder it.

Attack Jicheng, the first to be the vanguard. For Mo Guang, this is his best chance to perform. Therefore, when he immediately crossed his sword and saw the city wall in the distance, he had already made up his mind that with only the 100,000 people in his hands, he would take Jicheng tonight!

"Order the scouts ahead to keep an eye on the North City. As soon as a signal is transmitted, the whole army will break through to the city gate without stopping, and all the people they encounter, whether they are soldiers or civilians, will be killed!"

The eldest prince who gave this order had a cruel sneer on his face. In his consistent cognition, only by killing people can he be powerful! Opening the gate of Jicheng is only the first step. Next, the army went south, stepped through the Yan land, and went straight to the territory of Zhao. is the ultimate goal.

All the Hu cavalry are gearing up, just waiting to fight. Like the wolves of the steppe, they do not hinder themselves in the dark night. The moon is dark and kills the night, and the wind is high and the day is on fire! Just in time too.

Tonight's moonlight was very dark, obscured by clouds, and the moon emitted a dark red halo. From a distance inside Jicheng, the color looks like a stain of blood left after the battlefield killing, which makes people palpitate.

When Yan Xueyi opened her eyes again, she saw this color. And he had already woken up from his drinking. Shocked and angry, he couldn't figure out where the flaws were exposed!?

Just a quarter of an hour ago, the courtyard where they had gathered had suddenly been attacked. A large number of armor soldiers seemed to have descended from the sky and brought all of them into an urn to catch turtles.

Looking at those sparkling crossbow arrows with cold light, as well as the snowy blades around her, Yan Xueyi suddenly realized that she was likely to have been targeted by the spies of Zhao State for a long time. However, at first he didn't feel that scared. After all, big things are about to succeed. Even if I die here, I have no regrets.

General Zhao Guo, who led the team, was a young man. His gaze was cold, and several targets who wanted to escape by force were immediately killed by his men with random arrows. He waved his hand, and all the captives were tied up.

Under such circumstances, Yan Xueyi did not resist. He allowed Zhao Jun to tie his hands with ropes, but he looked at the young general with contemptuous eyes, and looked up to the sky and laughed.

"Hahaha! Li Mu is dead, Jicheng is not guaranteed, and the end of Zhao is coming. You guys won't live for a few days...... If you let me go, maybe I'll be able to save your life when the time comes. Otherwise....... ”

However, he had not yet finished his words. was interrupted by the young general's sneer: "Wake up! Still daydreaming? It's just you stupid guys who die tonight! Alas, it's just a pity, you are not destined to see a more intense scene!"

Yan Xue raised his head in shock, and in the bright torch light, he saw that the Zhao soldiers around him had sarcastic expressions on their faces. He suddenly felt his mind dizzy, and it seemed that he had suddenly realized something. He roared in shock and rage.

"What did you say?!"

"Isn't that clear enough? What a stupidity! Just because you fools still want to kill my general? What a general! Doing something under his nose is just a waste of effort. The reason why I have tolerated you until now is just to borrow your hand to lead the arrival of the Hu army...... Hehe! Do you understand what I say? ”

Yan Xueyan and the people under him all widened their eyes in horror. He scurried to his feet, but was firmly held down by the armor soldier beside him. He struggled incessantly, his eyes bloodshot red, and he roared like a mad trapped beast.

"I don't believe it! When pigs fly...... That head is obviously Li Mu! How could it be wrong? ”

"Hahaha! Idiot! Just the head of a death row prisoner will let you fall into the middle. What a stupidity! Let me tell you the truth, the general is now on the Chengtian Gate, and he will personally command the battle tonight! If you can defeat the Hu people, you can be regarded as meritorious heroes. The general said when he left, and if you read this, you won't suffer too much...... Come! Cut them all down, and sacrifice the flag with blood! I wish the general success and victory tonight!"

With a wave of the young general's hand, dozens of snow-bright blades were cut off, and the head rolled to the ground. Before Yan Xue's head was cut off, the last thought that came to her mind was: "It's over!" It's all over...... There is no hope for the restoration of the country!"

After killing all these rebels. The young general commanded the armor to search the secret stronghold again. Then he turned back to the leader of the Thousand Machine Pavilion spies who were acting with him and said, "I will immediately seal the entrance to the passage here, and all other places can act at the same time!"

The leader of the Thousand Machines Pavilion immediately took people to go their separate ways. A spy named Fox Nine is among them. His heart was filled with emotion. Since he went to the General's Mansion that night to report and hear that Li Mu had been killed, he was filled with grief and indignation. Unexpectedly, all this was just a general's trick to lure the enemy. To be able to participate in tonight's battle in person, he, like everyone else, was extremely excited.

The spy power of the Thousand Machine Pavilion in Jicheng is really extraordinary. They spotted the rebels early on and immediately reported to Li Mu. And the famous player immediately realized that there was something to be used for. Yan Xueyi and his men's every move is under his control. Closing the net tonight, the decisive battle has finally arrived.

The more than 5,000 secret powers that the remnants of the poor Yan Kingdom had worked so hard to cultivate, before they could show their blades, they were wiped out. This is a real catastrophe! Tonight, they all sneaked into the tunnels and stood by, but instead of waiting for the battle order, they waited for the dark Grim Reaper! At the same time, the Zhao army sealed the entrances to the tunnels, and then introduced moat water to pour it in. There is no escape for everyone, there is no escape. Drowned in the tunnels like rats, all of them died horribly.

Chengtianmen in the north city, Li Mu, who was wearing battle armor, climbed the city head majestically. He looked to the north and listened to the neighing of war horses in the darkness. The order was given decisively.

"Signaling...... Ready for battle!"
