Located on the border between the Qianwu Dynasty on the eastern continent and the Manchu Dynasty on the northern continent, the Kazha steppe.

Spring is gradually coming, and it is noon, and fine snowflakes are floating in the sky, which are scattered on the vast and boundless fields, but they are untenable, and they melt when they land.

The mountains in the distance are undulating, and a large unsealed river winds southward, like a crystal jade belt, and there is no sign of people around, which looks very empty.

General Lu, who was ordered by Du Haotian's first vanguard, the first echelon, appeared here, looking at a city located on the east bank of the river.

The city of Nuhe, that was the destination of their mission.

Half of the Kazha grassland belongs to the Qianwu Dynasty and half belongs to the Manchu Dynasty, and this half of the Kazha grassland has always been the habitat of the Manchu barbarians.

The barbarian city founded by their ancestors is located in the center of this grassland, and since ancient times, it has thrived on this grassland, and can be called the earliest master of this world.

However, as barbarians who live on the grasslands all year round, they have never been content to rule this half of the grassland.

For generations, they have longed to occupy the entire Kaza steppe, and even more fertile and warm land, so this ethnic group is always ready to move and repeatedly wage war.

However, under the strong resistance of the Qianwu Dynasty, the barbarians have never been able to successfully cross this mountain range that stretches for thousands of miles, nor have they captured any cities!

Until now, they have to continue to cower on the grassland and gnaw on the turf.

Of course, the barbarians will not be willing to sink here, and in the recent time, the appearance of the demons has given them hope to achieve their goals.

Through the support of the imperial dynasty, they secretly reached an agreement with the demons, formed an alliance, and constantly harassed the border, in a vain attempt to occupy the entire Kazha grassland, and destroy the cities along the border, so as to gain more living space!

This time, the barbarians, together with the demons, launched a surprise attack on various sects and cities on the border, which was unexpected.

The entire Manchu Dynasty was in an uproar!

However, while discussing, they also have an indifferent attitude, anyway, it is only the imperial dynasty of the neighboring country that is being attacked, not their own homeland!

On the contrary, if the Qianwu Dynasty can be dealt a heavy blow, it will also be a good thing for them!

As for the demon clan that everyone shouts and fights, in their eyes, it is just a chess piece, anyway, the demon clan is under their noses, and they can't make any big waves!

General Lu received an order from the imperial court that it was Nuhe City, the last line of defense in the Kazha steppe, that was going to go to investigate.

Nuhe City, one of the most important strongholds in front of Kaza City, is a strong city with a large number of elite masters.

It's a pity that the barbarians and demons are so aggressive that they can't be guarded against, so that the cities and sects on the left and the right are full of smoke for a while, and the people in the city have suffered heavy casualties, and some sects have also lost their foundation because of this.

Liu Piaoyun and others followed the vanguard army

As soon as he arrived in Kazha City, he rested for less than half a day, and was sent out to reconnoiter Nuhe City, looking for signs of the activities of demons and barbarians.

"Follow me and be on guard!"

General Lu, dressed in thick armor, took the lead in riding out, and his deep voice echoed in everyone's ears.

As a member of the first echelon of the vanguard army, they are all the elites of the elites who are extraordinary, have killed countless enemies, have rich experience, and are elites.

Du Yuqiang, as His Royal Highness competing for the storage position, was naturally arranged by Du Haotian to be among them, and only by winning more military exploits would he come out on top and become the crown prince.

When everyone arrived here, they realized that the border was now precarious, and most of the people had already withdrawn from the grassland to save their lives.

Now, in this Kazha grassland, there are still barbarians and demons who occupy the initiative and advantage.

The earliest news was ten days ago, and they also learned that twenty-one of these cities had fallen.

The actual situation is even worse, so far, they have lost contact with twenty-five cities, and I am afraid that they are all more than lucky.

In addition to Kaza City, other cities have also sent a lot of people to reconnoiter the situation of various cities.

As a result, all of them were intercepted and killed by the masters of these two clans, and in order to preserve the strength of the defending city, they held on until their arrival.

After the appearance of the First Vanguard, the forces of the demons and barbarians around Nuhe City retreated, but no one would have thought that they would disappear, and perhaps some conspiracy was brewing in the dark.

And for the city of Kaza, the lost city of Nuhe is trying to get it back!

Because of their existence, they are the most important part of Kaza City in the border defense system, and once they are all lost, Kaza City will become a lonely city!

That's why there was a reconnaissance mission of the first echelon of the vanguard army.

Nuhe City is not the largest among all the cities, its existence is to guard the Kazha River, there are more than 20,000 residents and 5,000 soldiers of the Great Martial Arts in the city, and the city lord is a strong man of martial arts.

Seven days ago, the city of Nuhe was cut off after receiving an urgent warning.

Under the leadership of General Lu, forty team members, including Liu Piaoyun, drove their war horses to Nuhe City.

These war horses are all rare horses on the continent, and they are also the low-level demon beasts that are best at speed and defense.

He is tall, not afraid of the cold, can run like a fly on the grass, and has a strong weight-bearing capacity.

These war horses were all supplied to the vanguard army by the defenders of Kazha City, and all members of the first echelon were assigned one, which greatly saved their physical strength.

They can't hide their actions, and they can't.

First of all, because the area around Nuhe City is open, there is not much shelter to be found at all, and there is no need to cover it up in the slightest.

Secondly, these people are basically in the realm of martial madness, and the combination of forty people is enough to threaten a person from a middle-level martial sect.

Even if it is

If you can't beat it, there's no problem if you want to escape, it's the so-called art master who is bold.

More than ten miles away, in a blink of an eye.

The city of Nuhe was no small in size, and its walls were made of large, hard, thick rocks, which were not afraid of most attacks.

However, the gates of this city were smashed by someone, and the broken wood was scattered all over the ground, and broken arrows, swords and other weapons could be seen everywhere, as well as blood stains that had already coagulated.

It was clear that there was a terrible battle here, and the city of Nuhe was not held in the end, but was broken by the enemy and suffered a great catastrophe.

The miserable scene in front of them was beyond their expectations, and it made people's hearts sink suddenly!

One member asked in surprise, "Why can't you see anyone's body?"

Judging from what has been discovered so far, the enemy withdrew after breaking through the city of Nuhe, and did not stay to occupy the city.

It's just that the barbarians and demons have plundered the materials and food in the city, and it is normal to take away the corpses of their companions, so they are not so kind as to bury the corpses of the defenders and the people, right?

This surprised some people!
