After deciding on the final direction of the assault, Liu Xiu no longer had and could not have any doubts. The troops of more than 5,000 people advanced rapidly all the way to the north, aiming directly at Kunyang. And in front of them was a two-layer siege network that lay under Kunyang City.

After a day and a night of marching at full speed, by dawn, the pursuers behind them had been thrown away with all their might, and they had lost their tracks. As long as you can move forward with all your might, break through these two layers of encirclement, and rush to the city, that's it.

"Not far ahead is Kunyang. If your judgment is correct, the encirclement network of the new army will definitely ......" Ren Guang rode his horse and galloped forward, facing Liu Xiu beside him, but just halfway through, a black line had already appeared on the horizon in front of him.

Mighty, vast and boundless black lines.

Ren Guang gasped and turned his eyes to look at Liu Xiu.

And Liu Xiu's heart also sank instantly at this moment.

The strength of the new army in front of him far exceeded his previous expectations.

Originally, I thought that the encirclement in the north would be the weakest, even if my own troops were not many, as long as I was unprepared, I would have a chance to break through. But at the moment, such a force seems to have concentrated the troops around Kunyang to its front.

The number of troops in front of you is not more than 100,000!

"This ...... That's impossible! Liu Xiu squeezed the reins in his hand hard, and looked at the sea of people in front of him in disbelief.

A partial general rode his horse and ran closer, although he pretended to be calm on his face, he couldn't suppress the panic in his heart: "General, there are also enemy troops on our left and right sides, and they are closing in on us!" ”

Liu Xiu looked at the partial general in amazement, and his heart was pounding.

The New Army ...... I actually accurately judged that I was going to break through to the north and enter Kunyang!!

Looking at the Kuroshio that appeared on the horizon in front of him and to the left and right, it was a thickness that more than 5,000 people could not break through no matter what.

Should...... What to do?

"Young master, do you want to retreat?" Ren Guang frowned and asked Liu Xiu in a low voice. He also knew that in the face of such a large number of people, the plan to enter Kunyang already meant failure.

Liu Xiu lowered his head, his mind spinning rapidly.

Fall back?

Although there is no new army in sight behind him now, if he turns around at this moment, where can he flee to? The pursuers who were originally following were still marching north, and when they turned around and headed south, they would also be tightly blocked. And the existing enemy forces in these three directions are even more unlikely to let themselves go.

"No, you can't turn around!" Liu Xiu gritted his teeth and shook his head: "At this moment, the only way to live is to die!" ”

He jerked his horse and rushed forward to the front of the line, then turned his horse's head to face the soldiers behind him.

It was a tired face. They had barely gotten a good rest for days, and they had been running around non-stop, which had consumed too much of their experience. And the repeated escape from the hands of the enemy army, who were far outnumbered, also depleted their morale little by little.

If you are facing a weak defensive line, perhaps a successful breakthrough can bring some recovery. But now......

But now, no matter what, you can't give up! Even if it is only for a short moment, it must boost the morale of the soldiers.

Liu Xiu looked at the soldiers in front of him, and the soldiers also stopped and looked at him one by one.

Those faces were full of nervousness, anxiety, and confusion. Because everyone clearly identified the number of enemy troops in front. And that's not something you can compete with.

Liu Xiu looked at them quietly for a long time, took a deep breath, stretched out his hand and pointed in the direction of the north behind him, and shouted at the soldiers under his command: "Look at your front!" That city called Kunyang!

We set out from Dingling all the way, and went through bloody battles again and again, just to defend that city! We have managed to defeat them again and again, leaving the enemy's army of 400,000 exhausted, but never able to catch us!

And now, we've come to the final door! Although the enemy laid a heavy siege in front of Kunyang, it was the last dying struggle!

Wancheng has been captured, and the 100,000-strong army will soon go north! Within three days, we will arrive in Kunyang! And what we have to do is to hold Kunyang firmly before that!

Before today, we had been running away, evading, looking for opportunities to fight more and less! We've been sweating more, just to bleed less!

But today, we have no escape, there is no escape!

This is our moment of bloodshed!

But our blood will not be shed in vain! Because every drop of blood we shed is destined to make the enemy shed more blood! Ten drops! Twenty drops! Thirty drops!

We need to let them know that we are not just fleeing, and that we are not just relying on the march to get fighters to avoid a head-to-head confrontation! We want them to know that even if it's a face-to-face fight, we're going to be stronger fighters than them!

From now on, I will always be at the front of the queue, and all you need to do is watch my back and follow me! As long as I have not fallen, you will not allow me to fall!" And I—never to fall! ”

When Liu Xiu almost roared out the last sentence, he suddenly felt a heat at the three marks on the back of his neck, and then the temperature within a zhang around him suddenly increased, and all the soldiers fled one after another.

At this moment, Liu Xiu's whole body seems to be surrounded by red light, resembling a phoenix.

And the soldiers in front of him had shocked expressions on their faces.

This is the first time that Liu Xiu has made such a mobilization in front of all the soldiers. But the excitement, encouragement, and excitement that I had been expecting in advance did not appear.

Rather, it was shock, amazement, and whispering, and talking to each other.

His heart couldn't help but sink.

Don't...... Is he really destined not to have the power of his brother who can subdue the whole army by relying on his personal charm alone?

That's really something that only a person like my brother who bears the mandate of heaven can do......

Before Liu Xiu's discouragement could show on his face, he saw Ren Guang running from the queue in front of him, with the same horror on his face.

"Young master, look at the ...... behind"

Ren Guang rode his horse and rushed to Liu Xiu, stretched out his hand and pointed behind him, with a trembling voice.

Liu Xiu turned around in surprise, but saw-

At this moment, it was the beginning of the morning sun, and the sky was brightening, so that the soldiers of the New Army in the distance could be seen more clearly. At this moment, the enemy army in front of him was less than five miles away from him, and although he couldn't see the armor and weapons clearly, he could still feel the pressure brought by the huge number of people.

The new army at the front did not move forward, but quietly stayed in place, firmly establishing a defensive formation. The new armies on the left and right were slowly squeezing towards the center.

When the new armies on both sides approached, the troops in front would advance and close, completely encircling their own side, in order to ensure that not a single soldier would escape. If Liu Xiu and his soldiers did not have time to break through the thick interception in front of them before they closed, they were destined to be annihilated in a flank attack from three sides. But what shocked Ren Guang and all his own soldiers was not this.

In the sky ahead, a slender light was falling from the sky.

Meteor!

The meteor was much bigger than what could be seen on a daily basis. Even from such a distance, Liu Xiu could clearly see the huge meteorite in front of him and the flames surrounded by the outer layer.

The meteor dragged its long tail, drew an arc in the air, and fell rapidly. The blazing light flickered as it fell, getting brighter and brighter, more dazzling and dazzling.

And the direction in which the meteor fell is this battlefield!

"It's ...... Whose bad omen? ”

Liu Xiu raised his head and muttered to himself in his heart.

The appearance of a meteor often means a bad omen, and this time, will it bring disaster to the army of Xinmang, or to yourself?

The new troops on both sides, who were originally attacking towards the center, also stopped, and looked up at the meteor that was falling overhead.

The more the meteor falls, the more it can be felt. Even though it is close to the ground, it still does not disappear, but makes people see more clearly. The flames wrapped around the periphery were constantly entangled, like rising flames, getting stronger and stronger.

The eyes and minds of everyone on the battlefield have been captured by the meteor.

It...... Where exactly will it fall?
