Chapter 54: The Burning of the City
The light is gradually disappearing from the horizon!
Fifty lines of defense, total rout!
The city wall is the only line of defense, but this line of defense is about to be overturned!
The corpse tide spreads, and the height of the corpse mountain gradually catches up with the city wall!
In Xuanyuan Xue's handsome tent, Yu Wenhao hung up Xuanyuan Xue's robe like a treasure.
"You! Always too strong! Always don't know how to protect yourself! You are a general, how can you charge into battle like a soldier!"
Yu Wenhao saw that there were cracks everywhere on his robe, and said with a wry smile: "Look at this good armor, you just made so many scars, where is this what a general should look like!"
After fiddling for a long time, Yu Wenhao finally sorted out his ideal posture, and with the end of the helmet hanging up, he really looked like a pretty general, although this general was just a wooden shelf.
Yu Wenhao took a few steps back, looked left and right, and nodded with satisfaction, but soon, his eyes were foggy.
"You often say, you are not a woman! You are a general! General, you have to fight bravely to kill the enemy to protect the family and defend the country! But to me, you are just a girl! I am the most loved person in my life!"
"I don't know when I fell in love with you! It's ridiculous! Before you were alive, I didn't even dare to say this! However, I promise you, if there is an afterlife, I will definitely say to you in person, I, I will never miss you again!" Yu Wenhao's eyes flooded.
There was a sound of footsteps outside the door.
"Tell the prison army, the army of the undead has stormed the city wall. ”
Yu Wenhao wiped away his tears fiercely and said in a deep voice: "The herald money will not leave, and prepare to burn the city." ”
"Yes!" the herald walked away quickly.
On the city wall, the sound of killing was everywhere, and as far as the eye could see, it was all a scuffle between people and corpses, and the height of the city wall completely lost its effect.
Xuanyuan Toyao didn't feel the pain, maybe it was numb from the pain! His right arm was broken, and his left eye and most of his cheeks were missing! He thought he should have fallen down a long time ago, but he didn't, he still had his left arm, and on it, he still held the knife tightly, and he didn't hesitate to stab it out in the face of the undead who rushed in.
It was the only stab he could make, as he didn't have enough strength to support the weight of a corpse, so he was forced to fall and the undead stabbed him wildly.
The city wall has finally fallen!
Yu Wenhao quietly looked at the wooden robe in front of him, smiled gently, moved the wooden chair to the side of the robe, sat lightly and leaned together, and silently took out a silver dagger from his arms.
"Don't laugh at me! I'm just a Wenchen, I can't go into battle to kill the enemy like you! But one thing is like you, we are never afraid of death!"
The dagger slashed across his neck, blood splattering.
"Ah Xue, I hope you don't go far, wait for me! Don't let you... I... Can't catch up... You.. The voice stopped.
The heavens were furious, and the fire dragon descended, and the whole city became a sea of fire!
On the city wall, the tide of corpses turned a blind eye, and still jumped frantically into the sea of fire, until a terrible whistle sounded, and the corpses stopped moving, and then stood still.
In the group of corpses, if there is a tacit agreement, give way to a passage.
In the passage, a black robe stepped forward lightly, and gradually, he stopped in front of the city wall, his eyes were raised, and the hood covering his head was pulled down, revealing an extremely terrifying face in his eyes, highly decomposed like a dry corpse!
There was a gash on his left cheek, deep in the bone, and a disgusting black fluid flowing.
Perhaps it was too painful, and the black robe fiercely pulled off a large piece of rotten flesh from the wound, and roared angrily in the sky, and the resentment in his eyes became more and more intense.
In the south, back to the city!
Xuanyuan Jianhong fidgeted and walked back and forth, for a long time, his pace stopped suddenly, and he said in a loud voice: "Someone!"
"See the general!" the guards quickly entered the account.
"The surveyor hasn't come back yet?"
"Back to the general, no!"
"Stand down! As soon as there is news, report it immediately!"
"Yes!" the guard stepped back quickly.
Several adjutant generals looked at each other a few times, and one of them hesitated for a moment, and said slowly: "Is the general too worried? Our army has already established a tight signal tower at the source, if there is really an army of undead, our army will definitely know, and besides, after a few months, there is nothing unusual in the desert, and the last general thinks that even if there is really any army of the undead, it will already be buried in the desert!"
"Buried in the desert?" Xuanyuan Jianhong said angrily: "Do you think this group of monsters can be eliminated by a mere desert?" Now due to the climate, the height of the hills in the desert has been declining, and General Ben is worried that if the army of the undead is really buried by the wind and sand, I am afraid that sooner or later it will have to jump out. ”
The adjutant general paused, not daring to say anything more.
Just then, the guards re-entered. "General Qiyu, the surveyor is back!"
After listening to the surveyor's report, Xuanyuan Jianhong's heart widened slightly. "Continue to pay close attention to the situation in the desert, and tell the soldiers on patrol not to let up for a moment. ”
"Yes!" the surveyor was about to retreat, but was interrupted by a hurried pace.
"General! Martyrdom!"
"What?"
The audience was amazed.
Xuanyuan Jianhong stepped forward quickly, grabbed the herald's collar, and said angrily, "You tell me again?"
"Qifeng City is lost, and General Xuanyuan Xue is martyred!" The herald's eyes were as red as Xuanyuan Sword Hong, and they were terrifyingly red!
"No!" Xuanyuan Jianhong was angry and angry, shook off the herald fiercely, and roared loudly: "Xue'er, don't you claim to be the invincible army of the victorious general?
The audience was sad.
As soon as the herald stabilized his body, he hurriedly saluted again: "The general's day mourns, and the commander still has a handwritten letter." ”
Although Xuanyuan Jianhong was heartbroken, he did not lose his mind, and said in a deep voice: "Present it." ”
Xuanyuan Jianhong took a quick look, and then gritted his teeth and said: "Reply to the commander, as long as I, Xuanyuan Jianhong, am here, I will never let this group of hellish things step into the southern realm for half a step." ”
"Yes!"
Westside.
The gates were closed, and the gates were covered with obstacles, and they were guarded by rows of Gosensen's soldiers.
Even so, a steady stream of civilians tried to push through the intercepting soldiers and poured into the city gates.
On the city wall, the Marquis of Xuanyuan looked at the ordinary people all over the mountains, and his heart was very uncomfortable.
On the side, Huang Puhua sighed lightly: "What the commander was worried about has still happened! People's hearts are the most difficult to guess! Looking at the countless ordinary people under this city, they think that it will be safe to enter the western border! But they don't know that if the kingdom can't hold it, how can the western border survive!"
"Strategist, do you think this is going to be dealt with like this now? If you let it go, the people have no food or drink, how can you support it!"
"If I am a general, I must learn four words. ”
"What four words?"
"Blind to it!" Huang Puhua's voice was extremely flat.
"Ignore?" Xuanyuan was stunned.
"Yes! If the general lets them into the city, he will violate the military order, and the law will not tolerate it! You must know that the embankment of a thousand miles will collapse in the anthill! Once these ordinary people set foot in the western realm, then all the people in the kingdom who are bent on avoiding disaster will flock to the kingdom, and what will happen to the general at that time? The ships in the western frontier are already seriously insufficient, and now they are all the pillars of the country in the western realm, and the hope for the future of the kingdom! To put it mildly, if the kingdom is really defeated, as long as these people in the western realm can survive, Huaxia will still stand!"
Speaking of this, Huangpu Hua sighed lightly and continued: "Hua has rarely admired people in his life, and the commander-in-chief is an existence that Hua has to look up to, and capable people cannot! It vividly embodies the existence of the good and the elimination of the inferior, and even if it is Hua, he cannot do it by asking himself! Because he will always bear the infamy, thousands of years later, when the world talks about what the commander has done today, it will surely be the common indignation of the people and gods pointed out by thousands of people. ”
At this level, Xuanyuan Junhou had never thought about it! Now after hearing Huangpu Hua say this, he knew how much pressure Ye Gucheng was carrying! In an instant, his compassion was hidden deep in the depths, because he realized that it was not real mercy, compared to the people outside the city, the children in the western realm needed more living space!
Hurried footsteps sounded from behind the Marquis of Xuanyuan. "General Qiyu, the Western Frontier is urgent!"
"Speak!" Xuanyuan Junhou did not look back, silently looking at the people under the city.
"Qifeng City has been lost, General Xuanyuan Xue has been martyred, and the northern border is about to become a new battlefield. ”
Xuanyuan Junhou Hu's body was shocked, and tears welled up in his eyes in an instant! But he still didn't look back, and his body was as firm as a loose. "Got it!
"Yes!" the guards quickly left.
Huang Puhua looked at the resolute side face and sighed secretly. "Does the General need a rest in a secluded place?"
"No need!" Xuanyuan Junhou tried his best to hold back his sadness and said softly: "The matter of supervising the construction of the ship is still bothering the military division. ”
In this way, Hua first retired. "Huangpuhua knows that the stakes are very high, and he does not dare to delay more.
The wind is howling, more like roaring!
On the plains, the green weeds were bent over, both by the raging winds and by the murderous spirit of the army.
More than 3 million troops, except for the 500,000 troops sent to other passages to block the small flow of corpses, the rest are all here, because the only one that can accommodate a large number of soldiers and horses to arrange troops is this flat avenue, the Mighty Wind Plain.
The strong wind plain, stretching for hundreds of miles, is lush with wild grass, suitable for raising horses! This place, which was originally a war horse breeding farm, has long been desolate when people have gone to the horses.
Fighting on this plain is not friendly to the soldiers, because it consumes more physical strength! Fortunately, defending the high ground is also the greatest benefit of the disadvantage!
Ye Gucheng faced the three armies and stood solemnly.
"Today, all of you standing here, you are no longer the kings of the kingdom, because you are already the most heroic soldiers of the kingdom in your own right, and no one can doubt this!"
"You are fathers, sons, mothers, daughters, and you are brothers, brothers, sisters, and sisters! What you are guarding is no longer the kingdom!
"We have no way out, let alone retreat! Because once we retreat, it means that our family members have lost their support, and we are their hope! Therefore, as long as we still have a breath, we must not let them lose hope!"
"Soldiers, here, right here, we must stop the army of the undead, so this commander has only one request to you, fight to the death!"
"Fight to the death, fight to the death, fight to the death, fight to the death, fight to the death!"
The roar drowned out the wind's grin!
