"Report!" The herald entered the tent with a panicked expression, and saluted: "Sect Leader, Luo Fengyuan was shocked to see the main force of the Black Mountain Clan a hundred miles away, looking at the scale, about 50,000. ”

"What?" Wan Yan Lie's face changed drastically, what he was most worried about still happened! It seems that Wan Yan Hui really rebelled, and Ye Gucheng's army must withdraw from the territory of the Black Mountain Clan, otherwise, it would be impossible for the main force of the Black Mountain Clan to be here.

"Sect Master, withdraw the troops!" Bai Xiaotian sighed lightly and said slowly: "Right now, the main altar is important, if the main altar is lost, even if we defeat the Black Mountain Clan, we are meaningless!"

Wan Yan Lie understood what Bai Xiaotian meant, if Ye Gucheng's army withdrew from the territory of the Black Mountain Clan, then their destination must be the territory of the Holy Fire Sect! However, seeing the fat in his mouth lost like this, he was really extremely unwilling!

Wan Yan Hui!!

Thinking of the initiator, Wan Yanlie slammed his fist on the desk. "Order, withdraw troops. ”

"Yes!"

The importance of meticulous work in wartime is vividly reflected at this moment! If Wan Yan Lie had planted meticulous work in Ye Gucheng's army, he would definitely know that all this was a conspiracy, and he would not have fallen into a passive situation by throwing himself into a chaotic position! Moreover, under the extreme anger and attack, he actually lost his usual calm! If he thought about it carefully, he would definitely be able to see the clues!

After all, the time it took for the main force of the Montenegrin clan to go from repelling Ye Gucheng's army to counterattacking the whole army could not have been so short! Such a large-scale counteroffensive in such a short period of time must have been prepared for a long time!

This point, some people in the Saint Fire Sect army also thought of it, but they didn't dare to say anything, they experienced the internal thunder purge, everyone was in danger, for fear that they would have a little relationship with Wan Yanhui, and no one dared to be a bird!

The speed at which the Holy Fire Cult withdrew its troops was very fast, and many of the baggage was abandoned on the spot, choosing to travel lightly.

However, the speed of the Black Mountain Clan's attack was even faster, and Ba Wuji was already holding back his strength, and when he heard that the Holy Fire Sect had withdrawn his troops, he was even more angry, and he wanted to run away after the fight, how could there be such a good thing?

When the two rivals met, they were killed in the dark, and the morale of the Black Mountain Clan was already high, and the whole army of the Red Blood Guard participated in the battle, and the combat power was extraordinary.

On the other hand, the Holy Fire Cult experienced civil strife and turmoil, had no intention of fighting, and its morale was low, and tens of thousands of soldiers and horses were chased all the way out of the territory of the Montenegrin tribe.

Wan Yan Lie looked at the remaining more than 10,000 remnants of the defeated generals, and in a state of grief and indignation, he spit out a mouthful of blood, and at this point, the Holy Fire Sect collapsed and went into decline!

At night, the bonfire of Tiger Roaring Mountain was bright, and the soldiers of the Black Mountain tribe drank wine in large bowls and ate meat, so they were not happy! Although they also lost more than 20,000 men and horses in this battle, they had dealt a heavy blow to the Holy Fire Sect, and it was indeed worth celebrating.

It's a pity that the people in the carnival did not find a few pairs of eyes hidden in the darkness.

"Let's go, go back and report to the city lord. ”

The scouts in the forest slowly retreated into the dark depths.

Tiger Roaring Mountain, 500 miles away, in the mountains.

Tents were lined up, and patrols were vigilant.

In the big tent, Zhang Yueli listened to the scout's report, and her expression was lifted. "It seems that the Holy Fire Sect has been defeated, Lord City Lord, has our army begun to set up ambushes to intercept and kill the Black Mountain Clan?"

"No, it's not easy to set up an ambush here. Ye Gucheng thought for a while and said in a deep voice: "Order, pull out the camp tomorrow and retreat to the gate of heaven." ”

"Yes!" the herald stepped back quickly.

Zhang Yueli frowned slightly, and said incomprehensibly: "Why didn't our army advance and retreat? Right now, the Black Mountain Clan has just finished fighting, and the loss of troops is not enough, and it is just a sneak attack, how can we miss such a good opportunity?"

In this regard, all the generals in the tent agreed, after all, they went all the way south to stop the main army of the Montenegrin clan, seeing that the opportunity was rare, how could they miss it in vain.

"Ladies and gentlemen, what is our purpose?" Ye Gucheng looked around at everyone, his eyes fell straight on Zhang Yueli, and said slowly: "Annihilate the enemy army! An ambush is set up here, the land is vast and complicated, and it can only be defeated, but it cannot be annihilated! Moreover, our army is only more than 30,000 people, and if the Montenegrin clan really fights hard, our army will inevitably suffer heavy casualties." ”

"The city lord is too worried! Our soldiers are never afraid of death. ”

"I know that our soldiers are all hot-blooded men, I never doubt this!" Ye Gucheng took a deep look at the general who spoke, and immediately, his tone changed, and he said in a deep voice: "However, not being afraid of death does not mean that you have to make senseless sacrifices. ”

The generals obviously didn't like Ye Gucheng's remarks very much, as a soldier, he had always been proud of dying on the battlefield. Of course, he still didn't dare to refute it openly, so he had to say in a muffled voice: "That being the case, why did the city lord let the soldiers go all the way south, and wouldn't it be better to directly stationed at the Tianmen Gate to recuperate?"

"The battlefield is changing rapidly, and I don't feel at ease until the Black Mountain Clan is sure that the Holy Fire Sect will be repelled! Besides, I need to know the exact route of the Black Mountain Clan's march. "Ye Gucheng is really scared!

The dangers of this era forced him to be cautious, and he was not worried about scouts passing information over the enemy territory, and it was easy to disrupt the steps if they encountered the enemy army scattered.

"How do you know that Ba Wuji will definitely go through the Heavenly Gate? After all, there is more than one passage to the Blackwood Cliff. Zhang Yueli was a little distressed, it seemed that since she met Ye Gucheng, she had started to become stupid!

Ye Gucheng smiled for no reason, and said slowly: "You say, if the Black Wood Cliff is in an emergency, Ba Wuji wants to rush to the aid quickly, which passage do you want to take?"

Don't...

Zhang Yueli seemed to have figured out something, and suddenly said, "General Xuanyuan transferred troops from the isolated island to besiege Heimu Cliff?"

"Wrong! It's besieged but not attacked! I believe that in a few days, Ba Wuji will definitely receive this news! Moreover, the reinforcements from Xincheng should be about to join us!"

New city reinforcements?

The generals stared blankly at the man sitting on the throne, and their hearts were full of admiration!

The moonlight poured quietly in the mountains and forests like flowing water, and the shadows of the trees blended with the silver mist, as if shrouded in a dreamy light veil!

On New Year's Eve last year, the flower market was lit up like day.

The willow tops on the moon, people about after dusk.

On New Year's Eve this year, the moon and lights are still the same.

I didn't see last year's people, and my tears wet the sleeves of my spring shirt.

Ye Gucheng didn't know why he suddenly chanted this poem, but when he thought of the big war in the near future, he couldn't help but feel a wave of sadness.

What a desperate scene it was for those soldiers who died on the battlefield to receive only cold news of death from their lovers, and even to see a corpse became a luxury?

He didn't want to face such a scene! Especially in the dead of night, whenever he thought of the ideological education he had received in his hometown, he felt that his world had completely collapsed, and the law, morality, and humanity had all turned into a virtual shadow!

He has become no longer his former self! Even if he can really return to his hometown one day, he will not be able to face that civilized society full of peace and tranquility! Let alone face his relatives and friends!

He's so tired, so tired!

Xuanyuan Xiu stood silently, still blowing her hair with the mountain wind, revealing the starry eyes between the tips of her hair, slowly flowing with a hazy mist.

She felt it!

She didn't know where this sadness came from, and she didn't know why she could feel the pain of the other party so easily lately!

She doesn't like this feeling, she really wants to step forward and hug this back, and she wants to tell him loudly, don't be afraid, Xiu'er is here!

However, she couldn't move her steps, nor could she open her hands, so she could only quietly feel the sadness flowing in the air.

"Xiu'er!" Ye Gucheng didn't look back, because he knew that his sweetheart was always there.

"Hmm!"

"When the matter here is over, I will resign as the city lord, can you stay in the new city with me and never participate in the battle outside again?" Ye Gucheng didn't dare to look back, he was afraid of being rejected, because he was nervous, his fists clenched inintuitively.

"Hmm!" Xuanyuan Xiu suddenly didn't want to be a warrior anymore! she just wanted to be with her sweetheart quietly now.

Ye Gucheng shook suddenly, turned around quickly, stared at the beautiful face bathed in the moonlight, and said in a trembling voice: "What do I mean, are you willing to marry me?"

Xuanyuan Xiu smiled lightly and nodded heavily, "I do." ”

Ye Gucheng couldn't hold back any longer, stepped forward quickly, hugged his petite body, and choked up: "Thank you!

"Xiu'er will always accompany the lonely city!" Xuanyuan Xiu hugged back.

"Xiu'er, don't leave me! I'm the only one left! I can't live without you!"

Xuanyuan Xiu had heard this sentence six years ago! At the beginning, she didn't feel anything, but now, her heart is very sour!

The wind is light and the clouds are light, and the bright moon obscured by the treetops is gradually rounding.

Drive!!

On the wasteland, tens of thousands of troops are rushing to Blackwood Cliff.

Ba Wuji never imagined that Ye Gucheng would dare to go deep into the siege of Heimu Cliff alone, of course, the most surprising thing for him was that there were still more than 20,000 enemy troops!

As long as you cross the gate of heaven, you can reach the Black Wood Cliff in one day, although the defenders of the Black Wood Cliff are only 10,000, but it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and there are military divisions in the town, it is not a problem to hold on for a few days!

The Gate of Heaven is not a gate, but like a giant rock mountain that has been split in half straight, the entrance is spacious, the surrounding mountains and forests stand up, and inside is a natural valley road, about four meters wide, about dozens of miles long, there is no gap on both sides to the sky, and the rock wall is polished very smooth and straight.

Such a project, obviously not human can create, can be called a great miracle of the Northern Barbarians, the world believes that it is the door of the gods to fall into the world, commonly known as the gate of heaven!

Although the gate of heaven is spacious, the influx of tens of thousands of troops at once still seems crowded, fortunately, the location is unique, the scorching sun cannot be affected, and the march in the gate of heaven is not uncomfortable!

Zhang Hao led the army to lurk on both sides of the mountains and forests, witnessing the entry of the Black Mountain army, revealing a trace of excitement. "Order, block the exit. ”

"Yes!"
