Qiao Zhennan was leading 25,000 elite subordinates, carrying baggage, slowly moving forward on the rugged mountain road.

But he didn't expect to faintly hear the sound of cannons, and his face instantly became ugly, knowing that this must be the advance team led by Xu Zichun, who encountered the enemy and broke out into battle.

He was not worried about the life or death of Xu Zichun and the others, but simply realized that if the advance team encountered and fought with the enemy, then it must have arrived with Xiao Ke leading the steel battle group. In this case, it must not be so simple for him and his subordinates to pass through this Panlong Mountain Range.

Even, if Xiao Ke forcibly held his footsteps, Gonggong Li and Zhang Tianci led 50,000 imperial forest troops to chase after him, and then he and his men were attacked from front to back, and I am afraid that they would die without a place to die.

At the moment, Qiao Zhennan summoned the other three heavenly kings under his command, namely Zhong Xiu, Bai Junmo, and Cai Heyang, the three of them are all level 10 powerhouses like Xu Zichun, and they are also known as the four heavenly kings under Qiao Zhennan, and they are Qiao Zhennan's left arm and right arm in the immortal bird.

Qiao Zhennan said to Zhong Xiu and the others: "There was a cannon sound dozens of miles ahead, if I didn't guess wrong, it must have been Xu Zichun who encountered the enemy and a battle took place." Cai Heyang, you led 3,000 elite soldiers and rushed to the front, one is to aid Xu Zichun, and the other is to give back in time if there is a situation, and I will lead the army to arrive later. ”

Cai Heyang: "Yes! ”

Cai Heyang ordered 3,000 elite soldiers from the headquarters, and he also went into battle lightly, and rushed to help Xu Zichun.

But they had just traveled 20 miles of rugged mountain roads, and then they encountered a lot of scarred defeated soldiers coming back, Cai Heyang asked his subordinates to arrest all these defeated soldiers, and caught them in front of him for interrogation: "You are all soldiers under Xu Zichun, in the event of a battle, you dare to flee the battlefield without permission, do you know what kind of punishment the deserters will endure?" ”

During the war, the deserters were all to be shot, and these deserters were so frightened that they hurriedly begged for mercy, and at the same time wailed and complained: "Lord Cai, we are not trying to escape, but we are defeated and fleeing." You know, when we retreated, Lord Xu and Lord Zhang both died in battle. Everyone surrendered, fled for their lives, we didn't flee into the deep mountains and old forests, just to come back to deliver a letter from Lord Qiao! ”

"Xu Zichun died in battle?" Cai Heyang's eyes widened when he heard this, he looked up at the sky in the distance, and did not see the flower of the god of war that appeared when the level 10 powerhouse died in battle, he said angrily at the moment: "Impossible, Xu Zichun is a level 10 powerhouse, if he dies in battle, the energy of the Force rushes into the sky, and there will definitely be a flower of the god of war like a burning cloud in the sky." Now there is no God of War Flower in the sky, which means that Xu Zichun is not dead at all. You deserters have the audacity to run away and lie to me. Come on, cut down these dozens of guys who are greedy for life and afraid of death, and I will be strict with the law. ”

In an instant, a large group of sword and axe men came up violently, dragged these guys who came down from the battlefield, and cut off their heads, and their heads were sent back to look at Cai Heyang.

Cai Heyang's face was serious, and he ordered: "Okay, move on and support Lord Xu." ”

Cai Heyang led his soldiers and advanced again, but the more he advanced, the more his comrades who fled from the front line were encountered. And these people all claimed that they had been defeated on the battlefield, Xu Zichun and Zhang Bao had died in battle, and everyone surrendered and fled.

In the end, Cai Heyang was finally forced to believe that Xu Zichun was really killed in battle, and the front had been occupied by the steel war group.

The 5,000 soldiers led by Xu Zichun were all defeated in front, and even Xu Zichun and his deputy were killed. Cai Heyang felt that his three thousand subordinates were not qualified to fight against Xiao Ke's steel battle group at all, so he didn't dare to move forward, so he hurriedly ordered his subordinates to stop in place to guard against the enemy's attack, and at the same time sent people to rush to report the situation to Qiao Zhennan in the rear.

When Qiao Zhennan got the news, his already ugly face instantly became even more ugly, however, they had already entered the Panlong Mountain Range, and Gonggong Li and Zhang Tianci were chasing after them, and they had no way to retreat, and only by fighting their way out of the encirclement could they get a new life.

So, he looked around at his subordinates and said in a deep voice: "We are in a predicament here, either we are flanked by the enemy on both sides, and finally we will die in the nest; Either break through the siege and kill the people. Whether the trapped beast is dying or the tiger breaks the cage, it depends on whether the monarchs have the determination to fight the ship? ”

Zhong Hui: "I'll swear to follow Master Qiao to the death!" ”

Bai Junmo: "Yes, break the cauldron and fight to the death." ”

The subordinates around him all shouted in unison: "Break the cauldron and sink the boat, fight to the death." Fight to the death—"

Qiao Zhennan saw that the fighting spirit of his subordinates was still okay, and he was slightly satisfied, he waved his hand and said, "Let's go!" ”

……

Xiao Ke's steel battle group soldiers, as well as the 2,000 captured prisoners, and more than 12,000 people worked together, and it only took a few hours to set up several lines of defense at the exit of the narrow Longmen Canyon.

Not only did he block the road with chariots, dig trenches, pile up bunkers, set up wheeled heavy artillery and other defensive measures and equipment, and even Xiao Ke sent Ling Feng to bring a team to blow up some narrow and dangerous places on the rugged mountain roads with explosives. A lot of explosives were buried along the road, which made Qiao Zhennan's team more difficult to pass, and he could delay as much time as possible.

In the afternoon, Qiao Zhennan's main force finally converged with Cai Heyang's 3,000 men.

After Qiao Zhennan understood the situation, he was even more determined to break through the siege, and ordered Cai Heyang to continue to lead 3,000 men as the vanguard, and he followed closely with Zhong Xiu and Bai Junmo to lead the army.

Qiao Zhennan's team came all the way, and encountered the road ahead of them was blocked by rocks, and encountered explosives buried in the ground, and many vehicles were blown up, and in the end, they mainly relied on their feet.

Finally, they arrived at Longtou Mountain, but the sentry came back and reported tremblingly: "Lord Qiao, the front is extremely narrow and difficult to pass, the enemy has completely sealed the exit, and has built a pillbox, full of heavy artillery and armored fighting vehicles, as well as newly piled city walls and trenches. If we can't completely crush the enemy, we won't be able to fly. ”

Qiao Zhennan was shocked when he heard this, so he took Cai Heyang, Zhong Hui and Bai Junmo to the front in person to look at the enemy's fortifications.

It doesn't matter if you don't look at it, you are shocked when you see it, the fortifications of the steel war group have been completely integrated with the mountain range, it can be said that it is built on the mountain, and the exit of the canyon is completely sealed.

Qiao Zhennan clenched his fists: "Xiao Ke is trying to block us here, order to go down, bury the pot and cook, and after the soldiers are full of food and drink, they will immediately attack and break through." ”

"Yes!"
