Jinling City, located at the junction of the three kingdoms, the terrain is relatively steep, easy to defend and difficult to attack, it can be said that Qi, Liang, Yan three kingdoms must fight for the place.

Backed by the lofty mountains, the establishment of Jinling City also relies on this dangerous pass, which can be said to be a natural risk, only a narrow mountain road can go together, but it is a major artery of the economic exchanges between the three countries.

And Jinling City is under the control of the Great Liang, so naturally the Great Liang sits on this trade route, and Jinling City guards it.

In the past hundred years, the Qi State and the Yan State have not given up their attempts to covet Jinling City.

Dozens of offences against Jinling City have been carried out, but because of the special terrain and the defenders of Jinling City, each time they have suffered heavy losses and retreated, and they cannot be attacked at all.

It is precisely because of this natural danger that the southwest corner of the girder and the border between the two countries are exceptionally safe.

There is no need to display heavy troops, and it is easy to hold a corner.

But it is precisely because of this that Jinling City is a barrier to the outside world of the entire Great Liang Kingdom.

Once Jinling City is breached, there will be no other dangers in the hinterland of the entire Great Liang Kingdom within three hundred miles that can block the long drive of the two armies.

What is simply that for hundreds of years, Jinling City has been impregnable, and there are many artillery pieces in the city, which are directly aimed at the passage of the mountain pass.

As soon as the beacon guards on the top of the hill discover the movement of the two armies, they will blow the battle horn and the whole city guard will mobilize.

Not to mention anything else, under the strong onslaught of artillery, Jinling City may not even have to damage a single soldier, and as many people from the opposite side will die.

This...... It is a hard bone in the various city-state passes on the Shenzhou continent.

However......

On this night, almost without warning, the outside of Jinling City was surrounded by tens of thousands of warriors.

The beacon tower set up on the top of the hill did not give a signal anywhere.

It was not that they were killed by the enemy, but it was true that there was no attack by the armies of Qi and Yan.

On the city tower, the guards who were patrolling the night were attacked from behind one after another, and their throats were sealed with a sword, and they didn't even shout.

The black figures were very light and swift in the night, and they took out the two teams of guards patrolling the night in succession.

However, it is a pity that ......

Although they could quietly deal with the guards and make sure that they did not leak their whereabouts, under such a night guard system, the guards did not patrol the designated area within the specified time, and the other guards who were holding the castle tower quickly discovered that something was wrong.

They did not dare to have the slightest laxity and righteousness, and sounded the wartime horn at the first time.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"

"The patrol guards of the first and third teams disappeared for no reason......"

"Hurry! there's a body found here......"

"Ah, there are Assassins......"

"Enemy attack! outside the city...... A lot of enemies, ...... Blow the trumpet of wartime and beat the drums of war......"

......

In an instant, the lights on the four towers were brightly lit, and all the soldiers who were holding on to it rushed out in full armor.

And the dozen or so figures that leaped and flashed on the city wall did not expect to be discovered so quickly.

"Damn, there's been no war for ten years, why are the guards still so vigilant......"

"Kill! kill a little more of the guards of the tower, hurry up, or you will ...... That old thing is coming......"

......

These dozen or so figures quickly rushed into the guards of the city tower, almost all of them were stabbed one by one, and one after another the guards died under their swords.

At the same time, the movement on the city tower also immediately activated the tens of thousands of troops lying in ambush outside the city.

"Kill, Kill ...... City"

"Brothers, the king of Qi and the king of Yan promised all kinds of benefits, and when they entered the city, the common people had a tael of silver for their heads, and the soldiers and warriors had a tael of gold for their heads...... Kill!"

......

This army of tens of thousands of warriors, after hearing the order, immediately became enthusiastic.

All of them were killed towards the city gate, and there were hundreds of martial artists, borrowing some simple siege equipment, plus their own light skills, and rushed up to the city tower without much effort.

Their group of warriors wanted to rush down as soon as possible, and they should open the gate of Jinling City with the cooperation of the inside and outside.

That's not all, at the four gates of Jinling City, dozens of martial artists who had already ambushed into the city immediately killed the defenders at the city gate after hearing the movement.

During the battle, on the beacon tower on the top of the high mountain, the sentry also found signs of the two armies in the distance, and immediately lit the wolf smoke beacon fire.

The castle tower is in an emergency!

The city gates are in a hurry!

The pass is urgent!

100,000 urgent......

Almost instantly, Jinling City fell into an unprecedented crisis.

Such a shout of killing immediately woke up all the people in the city, and they had no idea what was happening...... Has the enemy army killed it?

Oh my God......

Is Jinling City about to fall?

War, it's been ten years since there has been a war, right?

The 20,000 troops stationed in the city immediately rushed towards the gates of the four major cities to reinforce them.

Twenty thousand troops, a lot.

Ordinary capital cities, because only 10,000 troops are allowed to be stationed, plus 5,000 private soldiers of the lord of the city, theoretically only 15,000 troops are allowed.

However, because of the special location of Jinling City, Daliang allocated it with 20,000 resident troops and dozens of Shenwu cannons.

These are all used to defend the entire Jinling City Pass, even if the two countries come with 100,000 troops, they can easily hold Jinling City, and then wait for reinforcements.

However......

There's a good saying.

The strongest fortresses are often broken from within.

Governor Chen, who came in a hurry, never expected that without the slightest warning and warning, he would be killed by an army of 10,000 people composed of pure warriors to the city.

What's even more urgent is that on the other side of Jinling Mountain, the 50,000 troops of Qi and Yan have already been killed, and the defenders on the mountain are not much, only less than 2,000 people, if there are no reinforcements...... It won't last long.

"Bastard, what the hell is going on?Where did the army of warriors come from......"

Governor Chen is really going to scold his mother, the impregnable Jinling City Pass must not be lost in his hands.

Once Jinling City is lost, the armies of Qi and Yan will drive straight into the Great Liang country, and they can even go all the way into the national capital, which is terrible to think about.

"Uncle, the situation is critical...... It seems to be ...... He is a warrior of the ten major sects outside the city...... It's ...... they're besieging the city."

Chen Sizhou's face was also full of solemnity, he was at the East City Gate tonight to assist in the defense, and when the time had just passed, he found that something was wrong with the patrol guards.

As soon as he walked out to check a few steps, he was besieged by three martial artists.

As soon as he fought like this, Chen Sizhou immediately recognized that these people were not martial artists in the barracks, they were very wild, and they had a sect background.

However, he didn't dare to be so arbitrary and affirmative, and hurriedly made a noise to call for support from other lieutenants, and after repelling these martial artists, Chen Sizhou found that all the outside of the city gate were surrounded by a large army of warriors.

This time......

Didn't run away!

The top ten martial arts sects outside Jinling City, led by the Liuyun Sect, really united and formed an army of 10,000 people, which was used by Qi and Yan...... Attack the city of Jinling, which is the main beam.

The situation was extremely critical, Chen Sizhou immediately made some arrangements, and then led his troops down the city tower to kill those who wanted to open the city gate, and at the same time ...... Ordered someone to inform Governor Chen and the two Grandmaster Commanders in the city.

Yes!

In Jinling City, there are also two grandmaster commanders sent by the monarch.

In the tacit agreement of various countries, the grandmaster can serve as the commander and general of the army, but he cannot slaughter ordinary soldiers on the frontal battlefield.

Because of the importance of Jinling City, there is a separate commander with one and two grandmaster-level commanders in Jinling City.

In fact, as soon as the assassination on the city tower began, the two grandmaster commanders had already heard the movement and immediately killed the city towers on both sides.

At the south city gate, Grandmaster Commander Liang Youdao directly volleyed up the city tower, and within ten breaths, he locked on the ten troublesome martial artists.

The power of the grandmaster is terrifying.

Then he immediately went down to the tower, and beheaded all those who answered the door.

However, at this time, the unexpected happened.

Liang Youdao went back to the city tower, thinking that the martial artist assassins who had infiltrated had been dealt with, but he didn't want the two corpses on the side to suddenly burst out.

"Die......!"

This turned out to be two grandmaster-level powerhouses, Liang Youdao's color changed suddenly, and he could only shake the momentum of the two without noticing, and he was immediately hit and seriously injured.

"The two old dogs of the Liuyun Sect, you are so daring! You dare to collude with Qi and Yan...... Traitorous dog thief!"

Under the hard fight, Liang Youdao was defeated and seriously injured, but he also recognized the two opposite.

It was the two grandmasters of the Liuyun Sect, but the two of them were not comfortable, and they were not lightly injured after fighting hard with Liang Youdao.

After all, Liang Youdao has been in the Grandmaster realm for ten years, but the two of them have only broken through to the Grandmaster in the past few years.

"Our Liuyun Sect is located at the junction of the Three Kingdoms, but we don't say that it is the sect of the Great Liang Kingdom? How do you know...... Our Liuyun Sect is not from Qi and Chu, right?"

"Haha...... Liang Laogou, today Liang Jinling City will be broken by our sect alliance. The 50,000 armies of Qi and Chu will sweep before dawn...... All we have to do is hold back the army in your city. ”

......

The two Flowing Cloud Sect grandmasters also spit out a mouthful of blood, and confronted Liang Youdao with fierce eyes.

Yes!

They didn't strike again, and the joint effort to seriously injure Liang Youdao had already met their expectations, and the purpose of their action was to buy time for the armies of Qi and Chu.

Similarly, on the north city gate, the deputy commander Grandmaster Fang Ping was entangled by the two sect masters in the same way.

Although the 20,000 troops scattered to the four major city gates to help defend and kill the enemy, they did not dare to open the city gates to kill them.

There is no other reason, they have an advantage in numbers, but the opponents are all warriors and above, and their advantage in the dark night is much stronger than that of the army in the city.

Among the 20,000 troops, the vast majority are not even martial disciples, only a small number of them have entered the martial arts cultivation, and the number of martial artists is less than 500.

There are even fewer martial artists, only about fifty people.

To face 10,000 warriors and hundreds of martial artists outside the city, the disparity in strength is a bit desperate.

"Lord Prefect, it's not good! Commander Liang was restrained by two grandmaster masters who were seriously injured......

"Report, Lord Prefect, Deputy Commander Fang was also pinned down by two grandmasters. ”

"Report! There is a master of the sect master at the east city gate attacking and killing, and the ...... is urgent"

"Report! There is a master master at the West City Gate, we can't stop ......"

......

Governor Chen hurried to the direction of the East City Gate, but his head was extremely big, and he immediately shouted: "What about the City Lord's Mansion? Isn't there still a Grandmaster hidden on City Lord Hu's side? Let him send troops!"

However......

What Chen Yonglian couldn't have imagined was that the shouts of the four city gates were so loud that even the people in the city were terrified, but the city lord's mansion was quiet.

Even......

The five thousand private soldiers of the City Lord's Mansion, except for those who were on duty at the city gate tonight, were all gone.

"Uncle, can it be...... Is it the city lord Hu colluding with foreign enemies?"

Chen Sizhou was shocked.

Immediately afterward, the spies immediately came to report: "Lord Prefect! City Lord's Mansion...... Empty...... Except for some inconsequential subordinate servants...... It's all gone. ”

"What? nonsense, this old fox...... Ran away?"

Dizzy for a while, the prefect Chen Yonglian couldn't have imagined that Hu Yanzhi would be willing to abandon all the family business in Jinling City, and just run away quietly?

How?

And those five thousand private soldiers, where did they go?

"Oh no! ...... pass in the Jinling Mountains"

As soon as it was dark, Chen Yonglian almost fainted, hoping that his guess was wrong.

If the city lord of Hu took the 5,000 private soldiers and killed the pass from the rear, and cooperated with the 50,000 troops of the two countries, the 2,000 defenders of the pass would not be able to stop it at all!

......

And at this time, the Tang Mansion in the city.

The raging fire under the sycamore tree was still burning, but Xiao Huaiyu, the little county lord, was very vigilant...... Help watch the fire yourself, and don't have to sleep tonight.

After all, although she wanted to befriend Tang Can, the "reincarnation of the Immortal Monarch", she had not yet reached the point of selling her body, so she indicated that she would not sleep tonight...... It's a very euphemistic expression of his thoughts.

"Alas, it's a pity that the advanced exercises that have been burned down! I have to find an opportunity...... Let Tang Can write another one for the county lord...... It's a pity that he doesn't seem to be so easy to deceive......"

Looking at the big iron pot cooked by the blazing fire, Xiao Huaiyu also sniffed her nose, even if she had eaten countless delicacies from the mountains and seas, she couldn't help but want to drool a little.

"It's so fragrant! That's right, there's the meat of the crane in there! This is the fairy bird of the Immortal Gate! Even the immortal cultivators of the Immortal Sect won't eat the crane's ......."

swallowed his saliva, in fact, Xiao Huaiyu's heart also had a little expectation, would the meat of the crane be more delicious?

However, at this moment, in the direction of the four towers of the entire Jinling City, an overwhelming shout of killing sounded.

"What's going on? It's bold! It's someone who ...... Attacking Jinling at night, at least tens of thousands of troops ......"

With the sound, Xiao Huaiyu's face was ugly and a little scary, and she immediately ordered General Hua: "General Hua, you immediately lead the wolf guards to support the government soldiers......

And a certain son-in-law, who was sleeping tightly against the wall and had the air of getting up, was also awakened by the monstrous shouting of killing, rubbed his eyes, and scolded: "Which god kills, the ...... who sleeps in the middle of the night."

......
