The west and south of the Xiliang Marquis are full of boundless mountains, and the majestic Dalong Mountain is nothing compared to it. Looking from afar, the peaks and peaks are stacked, the peaks are towering, soaring up for nine days, the peaks are steep, uneven, only to see the snow-capped peaks that towering into the clouds, straight into the clouds. Wrapped in silver, slim and jade stands on the top of the earth, looking down on the world. Sometimes she appears in the clear blue sky, sometimes hidden in the snow-white auspicious clouds, revealing her holiness and mystery.

No one knows how vast the mountains are, but is there still a mountain on that side of the mountain? No one knows. People only know that most of the great rivers of the Great Zhou Empire originated here, and in the distant past, there were also brave and powerful people who went all the way along the river, wanting to trace the source of the great river and explore the magic of the mysterious mountain. There are often people who go in, but the people who come out never change. People are in awe of its sacredness, and perhaps more so than its horror.

There are also those who come out, and that is the brute beast. The most recent brute invasion of humanity occurred thirty years ago. At that time, Zhang Yuzhang was in his fifties, which was the golden time of his life, and he had just become the only great spiritual scholar in Liangzhou, because the great spiritual scholar of the previous generation of Liang Wang's national teacher had died a year ago. The king of Liang tried his best to win him over, promising him a large amount of land and slaves with high-ranking officials, and even named him the master of the kingdom, the minister of state, and the marquis of Wen.

Ji Changwu, who was already the Marquis of Long Wei, was like a brother to the master, but seeing his status in the kingdom, he was reluctant, but he couldn't open his mouth to keep it. I had to send generous gifts every day, today to congratulate, tomorrow to help the line. Staying with the master all day long, drinking and tea, talking about friendship, often tears of excitement.

Even the kings outside Liangzhou secretly sent envoys to contact Zhang Yuzhang, and there was news from the Great Zhou royal family. Just when Zhang Yuzhang's strength was skyrocketing and his reputation was growing, news of the invasion of the barbarian beasts came from the south of Xiliang and the Marquis of Shuanglong, and all parties were fully engaged in the war against the barbarian beasts. In addition, the Marquis of Longwei was one of the main battlefields of the brute beast invasion, and King Liang and the others also temporarily stopped recruiting Master Zhang on the surface, but secretly they never stopped.

From my grandfather's records, it can be seen that the battle with the brute beasts at that time was fierce.

In the winter of 758 in the Great Zhou calendar, there was a lot of snowfall, which was a rare year, Shuanglong City was located in the south of the Great Zhou Empire, and I was in my fifties with such heavy snowfall, and I had not seen it a few times. On the ninth day of the first month of winter, the news of the discovery of brute beasts in Nanling Mansion came from the south, and the situation was very different from usual, and brute beasts appeared in groups. The news from the Xiliang Marquis State showed that the barbarian beasts invaded on a large scale, and in half a year, no one in the two southwestern provinces existed. The Marquis of Xiliang sent a request for help from King Liang at the highest level, and the Marquis of Xiliang has fought with all its might. Lord Hou and I presided over the discussion of the officials, and judged that there must be a lot of brute beasts in the invasion of our Hou Kingdom this time, and we must mobilize the strength of the whole country to go to the national disaster together. At noon, I issued a national mobilization order.

On the twelfth day of the winter month, Hou Ye personally commanded the front army of Shuanglong City with 500,000 troops.

On the tenth day of the lunar month, the troops from the nearby provinces and the people under the jurisdiction of the master's mansion formed a rear army of 300,000 and set off.

In the spring and March of 759 of the Great Zhou calendar, news came from the south that all the Nanling Mansion was lost, and the Nanling Mansion Lord and other troops were wiped out, and only a very small number of people retreated to the nearby Anling Mansion to escape.

In May, the former army under the command of Hou Ye met with the brute beasts in the southern mountains of Anling Province, and the vanguard was attacked by a group of monsters suspected of being wolves, most of the vanguard troops were killed, and only one great warrior escaped, losing 50 warriors and more than 30,000 soldiers. When Hou Ye and other reinforcements arrived, there were only the bones of the soldiers on the battlefield, and the flesh was gnawed away. Hou Ye said that after decades of desperate death, such a tragic situation has never been seen, and the soldiers are very panicked and their morale is seriously damaged.

On May 27, the former army encountered a similar monster attack to attack the vanguard troops, and Hou Ye personally led the team to fight, killing thousands of monsters, and the monsters retreated. This monster is as big as a buffalo, with sharp teeth and claws, and it is extremely fast, and it takes seven or eight warriors to deal with one monster.

In mid-June, the front army continued to advance and encountered brute beasts. The mountains in the southwest are a paradise for wild beasts, and there are many kinds of them, and most people can't figure it out. Among them, there is a particularly ferocious, somewhat human-like brute known as the barbarian. The appearance of the barbarian is similar to that of an orangutan, about three meters high, sharp claws, extremely flexible, moving on the ground in the mountains, the strength is large, the strength of one hand is not less than 500 catties, the whole body is long hair and thick skin, ordinary swords can not hurt its flesh and skin. At most, ordinary samurai can fight a tie, and only the great samurai can be killed. The former army slew nine barbarians, and three thousand other beasts. The former army lost 200 samurai and tens of thousands of soldiers.

In July, the former army entered the northern part of Nanling Province and encountered a group of barbarians, estimated at five hundred. Hou Ye and the six generals of the commander took matters into their own hands and killed 200 barbarians, and the barbarians retreated. The front army lost three large samurai, more than 300 samurai, and countless warriors. A few days later, thousands of barbarians attacked the front army. Among them, there were red-haired barbarians, more than three meters tall, with huge physiques, killing three great samurai and dozens of samurai. There are generals in the former army who want to kill it, but they can't win. Hou Ye went in person, and the red-haired barbarian was stabbed, seriously injured but not dead, and the barbarian retreated.

In August, the front army stopped advancing and rested. In late October, the former army was surrounded by barbarians and other brutes in the northern part of Nanling Province, unable to escape.

In early December of the year 759 of the Great Zhou calendar, our commander approached the front army and found that the beast tide was all over the mountains, and the front army was still holding on. In close combat with the barbarians, I used the storm of divine consciousness to attack monsters in a large area, and a large number of monsters fainted, and the warriors fought bravely to slash and kill, killing nearly a thousand barbarians, and tens of thousands of other unknown brute beasts. On the second day, three red-haired barbarians led tens of thousands of monsters to attack the rear army, and the five generals under my command were invincible, and their subordinates suffered heavy casualties. I attacked the red-haired barbarian twice with spiritual arrows, two fell to the ground and died, one red-haired barbarian fled, and the barbarian retreated.

In early January of the year 760 of the Great Zhou calendar, I used my spiritual sense to command the front army to break through in the direction of the rear army, and the breakthrough was successful, and the front and rear armies converged. There were only 200,000 people left in the front army, and the brute beasts fed on people, and the battlefield was full of bones, which was unbearable.

Three days later, the brute beasts attacked in unison, and the number was incalculable. There are dozens of red-haired barbarians among them, I attacked with a storm of divine sense, and Hou Ye and the generals stepped forward to kill, killing more than ten red-haired barbarians. Our army lost one general, nearly 100 samurai and samurai, and tens of thousands of soldiers. The brute retreated on all fronts and retreated to the south. Because the front army suffered too many casualties, it was besieged for another three months, and its morale was low, and our army rested on the spot.

In March, our army continued to move south, there was no brute beast all the way, Nanling Mansion was completely populated, only white bones everywhere, and the soldiers of the whole army wept bitterly.

In June, our army went to the south of Nanling Province, and I used my spiritual sense to scan the south, and found that a large number of brute beasts had gathered, and the whole army stopped advancing.

Ten days later, reinforcements from various provinces arrived, with a total strength of more than 1.2 million troops, including 23 generals, 200 samurai, and 3,000 samurai. Our army arranged a defense on the front line of Nanling Pass, preparing to hold on first, and then find an opportunity to break through each ......

Lingwu was shocked, and Xia Yu came in to report that the Hou Ye had arrived at the master's mansion. is discussing the military situation with the master in the front hall, and asks the young master to observe. Lingwu had no choice but to close the book, put it in his arms, and hurried to the front hall, wondering if the Hou Ye and his grandfather had made a decision.
