Guozhen General Father and Son led 300 troops to garrison Fenggang Castle, a branch city on the east side of Tianshen Mountain Castle.

And the Sado crowd that surrounded Tenjin Mountain Castle and Fenggang Castle was nearly a hundred times larger than the defenders, exactly: "The black clouds crush the city and want to destroy it, and the armor light opens to the sun!" ”
