"Something is wrong. ”

Ren Xiao looked at the sparse few Tang troops upstairs in Xiao Guancheng, with a strange expression.

The technology of the Tang airship was developed, and the means of investigation were also diverse. Obviously, it was impossible for them not to know about the movement of the Qin army.

"Captain Ren, do you think there is fraud?"

A white-bearded veteran asked with a smile, a little disappreciative of the support army led by Ren Xiao.

There have always been contradictions between the forbidden army and the border army, and the composition of the army is also quite different, and it is common for both sides to urinate less than a pot.

This veteran named Sima Cong has been in the Qin army camp outside Xiao Pass for decades, and if there are any ambush soldiers in Xiao Pass, he will know it with his nose.

"If there are ambush soldiers in Xiao Guan, the old man will cut off his head and give it to you to sit on as a stool! ”

Sima Cong sprayed Ren Xiao, then ignored the other party and strode away.

"Captain ......"

The lieutenant lowered his voice and wanted to speak very indignantly. Unexpectedly, Ren Xiao raised his hand and motioned to the other party not to speak.

"I had a bad feeling that it was a trap. Don't look at the excitement of Dasanguan, this is the key to victory. ”

Ren Xiao expressed his judgment.

Why? Because of the newly formed "Dead Man's Army", those guys who wear dead man's bamboo armor have always been pawns used to consume on the battlefield.

If you are the manager, how dare you hand over the key to victory and defeat to those who are not very conscious.

Changing places, Ren Xiao felt that Xiao Guan was the key.

No, no, no, in fact, Xiao Guan is not either......

Ren Xiao always felt as if he had overlooked some important issue.

Soon, Sima Cong organized the border army to start attacking the city.

Half of Xiaoguan is a mountain range, more than half of the place is built up a tall city wall, and the passage in the pass is narrow and winding, stretching for more than ten miles.

In the past few hundred years, when the Tang Kingdom had not yet developed, Xiao Pass was fought over by the Qin State and the Zhongshan State, and the city walls on both sides were very thick, which was completely different from the tall and short Dasanguan on the front and back walls.

In other words, if a strange army is airborne in Xiaoguan, it can block their way home. And there is another place where Xiaoguan and Dasanguan are very different.

Xiaoguan is far from Fengdu City, and of course, it is also far from the hinterland of Qin, and without the support of granaries, it is difficult to imagine that the army can exist and deploy for a long time. Especially on the side of the Qin State, it is basically grassland.

Qin's Miaoxia Warehouse is the closest big granary to Xiaoguan.

Ren Xiao had a strange illusion that Xiao Guan seemed to be a monster with a bloody mouth, waiting for them to fall into the net.

"Fourth, who is guarding Miao Xiacang?"

Ren Xiao asked the deputy general quietly.

The other party watched the Qin army stupidly using the battering ram to attack Xiao Pass, and only after ten seconds did he suddenly realize: "I don't know, but it's definitely not an elite." There has been no war there for a hundred years, and the fronts of the Qin and Tang states have been scattered all the time.

However, I heard that this time Liyang sent a lot of new grain to Miaoxia Warehouse a few months ago, and the upper side probably wanted to attack Tang from Xiaoguan for a long time. ”

Sure enough, nothing is a coincidence!

"If there is no accident, Sima Cong will capture Xiao Pass tonight. ”

Ren Xiao said faintly.

The adjutant general called "Lao Si" sighed, as a forbidden army, they were actually despised by the border army, and now they can't find the field, it's really ...... Shame on me and my grandmother's house.

"Broken city!

The city is up!"

There was a shout from a certain Qin army at the head of Xiaoguan City, and then the shouting stopped abruptly, and this unlucky guy was pushed off the city tower by the Tang army. The embarrassed defenders drove the Qin army that had already entered the city from the tower, and the first wave of siege failed.

"Duwei, although Sima Cong didn't go up this wave, it's true that the Xiao Pass defenders are vulnerable! And there doesn't seem to be any strong cultivators. ”

The fourth child's tone was very excited, but Ren Xiao's heart sank little by little.

The conspiracy and routine are too obvious, but this kind of poisonous wine is not something that anyone who leads troops to fight can refuse.

Again, fishing nets and sharks, although one is active and the other is passive, as long as the shark is big and fierce enough, then the same can break the fishing net. Even if they know that there is a conspiracy ahead, as long as the strategy requires it, the military must move forward.

Thinking of this, Ren Xiao looked at the gloomy sky...... It seems like it's going to rain.

There is little rain near Xiaoguan, and it is really not easy to meet the rainy season.

Ren Xiao silently complained in his heart.

But on the second day, it began to rain heavily, and then taking advantage of the heavy rain, Sima Cong ...... The city is broken.

In the heavy rain, Sima Cong's old face had a chrysanthemum-like smile, but it was a little hideous. He walked up to Ren Xiao, slapped the other party's shoulder hard, and laughed arrogantly: "Guy with no eggs, learn a little, Xiao Guan is handed over to you!

He did have reason to laugh, the new army of the dead army, which was neither human nor ghostly, gave Sima Cong a lot of pressure. If the traditional border army does not rise up, it may one day be "transformed" into the kind of machine that can only kill.

It's like those people who were blocked by the Tang people in front of the Dasan Pass.

In the rain, the Great Qin border army led by Sima Cong didn't even pack up the corpse, so they walked away. They even only brought dry food for seven days, probably thinking of rushing all the way to Fengdu.

"Captain, what now?"

Under the moon arch of the city gate, Ren Xiao looked at the pouring rain in a daze, and his mind was full of mush. He always felt as if he had grasped the key point of Tang Jun, but he didn't figure out what it was for a while.

"Pass the order, the army will be stationed in Xiaoguan and nourish the spirit. ”

The orders they received were themselves to obey Sima Cong's command. Now that the other party asked him to defend the Qin army's back road, then it would be right to do so. Even if the uneasiness in my heart is getting stronger and stronger......

Xiao Guan is indeed Zheng Kaishan's conspiracy, otherwise there would not be even a cultivator of the first rank among the people guarding the city. It's just that there is still a bit of a gap between things and what Ren Xiao expected.

At the weapon testing ground of the Tiangong Academy, Master Kobayashi, who had not rested for several days, slowly poured the potion onto the armor made of dead man's bamboo. Soon, a foul smell came, and the armor emitted puffs of black smoke, which were then corroded into a puddle of black water.

"It's finished?"

Dongfang Wan couldn't bear it for a long time because she was pregnant, and now it's the fat Song Zhong who is on the top shift, who let him make other people's stomachs bigger.

"Well, it's done. Fifty kinds of formulas were screened out of more than 1,000 formulas, and then the formula was improved and ten kinds were further screened, and this one was the one with the best effect. ”

Master Kobayashi said with some excitement. His current work is much more interesting than in Xuanji Hall before.

"The rest is none of my business, you go to Zheng Kaishan, with this thing, he should also do it!"

The Tang army has not fought back, but it does not want to use human lives to consume the dead man's bamboo. Now that the recipe for restraining the dead man's bamboo is out, the time has come to change the situation on the battlefield.

At the same moment, the Cell

Emergency repairs are underway, and new equipment is being installed continuously.

As for the repair fee of the two million spirit stones, Li Ximei helped Yao Jia pay in advance in the name of the royal family. This young master of the demon clan plans to stay in arrears, and then wait for Han Yin to come back.

Yao Jia was in a daze, Fan Yiyi came over and lowered her voice and said, "There is bad news, the Qin army has broken through Xiao Pass, although it is expected in advance, but it feels a little early." ”

This academy senior, who has not yet graduated, has already put on a military uniform, and her number is the Fan family's mandrill army.

"Are you following me all the way, or are you following your father?"

Yao Jia turned her head sideways and asked with a smile.

Fan Yiyi's face turned red to the root of her ears, and she said embarrassedly: "I want to stay on the Sail and be with you." ”

"Hehe, it's easy to say, come, follow me all the way, let's have a good fight!"

Yao Jia said excitedly.

Her attitude made Fan Yiyi puzzled, shouldn't you be nervous now? You are so excited, it seems that you are still looking forward to it, and you are really confident?

"This time, the Sail has been refitted, and we will let those ignorant Qin people know that times have changed. ”

Yao Jia said firmly.

She has always been a supporter of the "spiritual revolution", and when she was fine, she spent a lot of time studying Li Xinghe's family history. The current downhill road of the Tang Kingdom actually has many coincidences, and it is not the fault of the popularization of spiritual power.

In fact, if it were an ordinary country, it would have perished long ago. Not to mention anything else, where did you find so many cultivators who could use spiritual power?

"Are you really confident? I heard that the flying demon beasts of the Qin Kingdom are very powerful. Whether I can cross the defense line or not, I don't know if I have a bottom in my heart. ”

Fan Yiyi said with some worry.

"It's okay, I'm here, everything is not a problem. ”

......

In the temporary palace, Li Ximei, who had a big belly, was buttoning Zheng Kaishan, which was also the first time that the other party wore the military uniform of the Tang Army.

No matter how you look at it, she is so handsome, Li Ximei is full of happiness at the moment.

"You must be careful on this trip, the Qin army in Xiao Guan is not wearing armor made of dead man's bamboo, and this time the secret weapon will not be used. ”

Li Ximei said worriedly.

There is no way, there is news from the front, there is a Qin army advancing very fast, and then they will meet the Mandrill army led by Fan Yiyi's father. And what Zheng Kaishan wants to do is to recapture Xiao Pass!

The difficulty is not ordinary.

"Don't worry, where the righteousness lies, you can't win the battle. As long as I am not allowed to do anything against my will, the seeds in my body will continue to provide strength. ”

Zheng Kaishan said confidently.

The proverb of opening the mountain and determining the country relies on the power of the so-called "truth and faith". He agrees with the concept of Shu Tang and is disgusted with the crooked ways of the dead man's bamboo, so this book, or this magic weapon, is his biggest reliance.

"Gone, no need to say goodbye. ”

He smiled at Li Ximei and turned out of the bedroom.

Although he is nominally Li Ximei's "face", in fact, everyone is looking at this man as a "regent".

Zheng Kaishan and the Xuanji Hall behind him are the Dinghai Divine Needles of Li Ximei's accession to the throne and the suppression of several major families in the Twelve Swords of Chongming. Without such a force to escort her, Li Ximei and the baby in her belly are similar to Emperor Han Xian, or even inferior.

"Finally, is this going to be a showdown?"

Li Ximei muttered to herself, she touched her stomach, and she didn't know who to tell about the worries in her heart.
