Chapter 51: Dragon and Tiger Legion
Three hundred miles away, Su Ye galloped all the way, but in six hours, he arrived at the border pass where the main force of the Dragon and Tiger Legion was located.
This place is a narrow inside and wide outside the canyon place, the east and west sides of the mountains are connected, forming a natural barrier to protect the Chu country, the south of the canyon, is the departure from the country with the Chu country for generations of blood feuds, the north, after the valley, it goes straight to the hinterland of the Chu country, the plain of thousands of miles, there is no danger to defend.
For decades, the most important place for the Dragon and Tiger Legion to defend was this long and narrow valley.
Using this as a base and deploying defenses along the entire mountain range, no matter how many heavy troops leave the country, it will be difficult to overcome this moat.
Su Ye and Princess Yue dismounted ten miles outside the valley and went straight to the camp of the Dragon and Tiger Legion.
"Stop!" Before the two of them reached the gate of the camp, a ten-person squad of galloping horses stopped them in an instant, and shouted, "No idlers are allowed to approach here, please go back." ”
"I want to see you General Long. Su Ye didn't speak, Princess Yue had already grabbed it, took out a piece of white jade and smooth token, flashed it in front of the warriors, and said in a deep voice, "Tell him that Princess Yue of Chu is here." ”
"Princess?" the warriors were heartbroken.
They looked at Princess Yue dressed in ordinary silk clothes, and they couldn't see the nobility of the royal princess at all, and they couldn't help but have doubts in their hearts, and they were about to scold, but they were suddenly swept away by her cold eyes, swallowed back the words in an instant, and quickly beat their horses away.
After the two of them left, they waited for only a moment, and a majestic middle-aged man rode out of the camp on a solid black horse, led a group of soldiers, and quickly stopped a foot away from the Moon Princess.
He looked at the Moon Princess carefully, his expression froze, and he immediately stepped forward, knelt down on one knee in front of the Moon Princess, clasped his fists and saluted: "The last general, Long Feihu, meet Her Royal Highness the Princess." ”
Su Yeding looked at it, and saw that this person was straight, with steel and iron bones, and he was unyielding.
A narrow knife mark on his face stretched across his cheeks, hideous and terrifying, and at this moment he knelt on one knee, and the breath of his entire body was also condensed like a mountain, like a stubborn stone.
"What a tiger general!" Su Ye couldn't help but sigh.
"General Long, please get up. Princess Moon stretched out her hands and gently helped him up, "This time the Frost Moon is not far away, but in fact, there is a very critical matter to ask General Long for help." ”
Long Feihu was surprised in his heart, and with a solemn face, he welcomed Su Ye and Princess Yue into the handsome tent.
With a wave of his thick iron palm, he withdrew all the soldiers in the tent, and then asked solemnly: "Your Highness went to the border pass alone to find the last general, but something happened in Lingdu City. ”
Princess Moon's deep eyes flashed and she nodded.
Long Feihu's heart jumped, his face changed greatly, and he asked urgently, "I don't know what happened?"
Princess Yue took out the secret decree written by her father before leaving, and handed it to Long Feihu, and then told him in detail what had happened in Lingdu City in the past few months.
"Yun Chong!" Long Feihu's eyes flashed with cold light, and his killing intent was fierce, "Blatantly rebelling, it's just wolf ambition, it's really not a pity to die." ”
His face was full of anger, his iron palms were clenched, and his tyrannical aura condensed, like a bloodthirsty tiger, ready to devour people at any time.
Su Ye saw that the breath on his body was still and moving, all like thunder, and he was amazed in his heart, and couldn't help but admire the tiger general in front of him.
"Just now, His Highness said that Yun Chong has completely controlled the situation in Lingdu City. After Long Feihu was angry, he calmed down and asked, "I don't know if Your Highness is here, can Yun Chong know?"
Princess Yue nodded: "The two of us were chased and killed by the imperial uncle to escape from Lingdu City. ”
Long Feihu was shocked in his heart, and his face changed greatly: "That Yun Chong knows that you two are here, you must have acted in advance, and the spirit capital may have changed the sky!"
"No, it won't. Princess Yue was categorical, her deep eyes shining brightly, "What Uncle Huang is looking for is not only the country of Chu. ”
Su Ye and Long Feihu were stunned for a moment and asked, "What does the princess mean?"
"If Uncle Huang is only for the country, he can act as early as when the prime minister defects. Princess Yue said, "The power of the Praetorian Guard has always been in the hands of the imperial uncle. ”
"Behind him, standing is the forces of the Liuyun Sect, and they will not allow the imperial uncle to act now. ”
"Why" Su Ye and Long Feihu were surprised in their hearts and asked in unison.
"Because ......," Princess Yue paused for a moment and said, "Because the Imperial Palace Ancestral Spirit hides a big secret, a secret that all the sects in the Yuan Spirit Realm covet. ”
"Originally, I didn't know this secret, but a few years ago, I happened to hear Master and Father mention it, and they said that in the ancestral spirit, there were many secret treasures of the Medicine God Sect tens of thousands of years ago.
Originally, very few people knew about this news, but for some reason, in the past half a year, more and more people knew this news, and countless sects of the Yuan Spirit Realm gathered in the Spirit Capital, all coveting these secret treasures, and the Liuyun Sect wanted to take the lead, directly destroyed the Flying Feather Sect, and controlled the imperial uncle in the palm of his hand
Now these countless forces gathered in Lingdu City are all watching the opening of the secret realm of the palace with their eyes on, as long as the imperial uncle dares to act in advance before the secret realm opens, the Liuyun Sect will definitely strongly stop it.
Moreover, even if the Liuyun Sect was powerful enough to suppress the forces of other sects, act in advance, and forcibly occupy the entrance of the palace, it would be impossible, because the master was still in the palace, and as far as I guess, they would not be stupid enough to expose all their strength before the secret realm opened. ”
Su Ye's eyes lit up, they didn't expect that there were so many hidden secrets in this.
"So, we still have time. Princess Yue said, "Before leaving, I met Master and heard the news, we have at least one more month, these are enough time for General Long to take the main force of the Dragon and Tiger Legion to Lingdu City, as long as the Dragon and Tiger Legion appears outside Lingdu City, the Royal Forest Army and Jin Wuwei will not dare to move." ”
She clenched the secret decree in her sleeve and said in a deep voice: "Although they obey the emperor's orders, they have always been my royal army, and when the time comes, I will hold my father's secret decree in my hand, and then know the reason before the battle, even if they will not fight back, I am afraid they will hesitate, which will give us enough time to react to annihilate the Praetorian Guard in the hands of the imperial uncle." ”
Long Feihu knew in his heart, nodded heavily, and responded: "The last general immediately ordered troops, rushed to the imperial capital with Her Royal Highness the Princess, and killed Yun Chong's dog thief." ”
He took down a heavy horse chopping knife from the knife rack in the tent, and took Su Ye and Princess Yue straight to the general platform outside the camp.
The huge war drums beat, the sound shook the four fields, between the vast heaven and earth, the war horses neighed, and countless iron horses gathered from the valley and the wilderness, forming a torrent of steel, carrying the killing intent in the sky, gathering around the platform.
"All the soldiers!" After Long Feihu read out the secret edict of Emperor Chu, he roared like a fierce tiger, "Yun Chong's wolf ambition is vainly trying to subvert my Chu country, what should I do as a man of the Chu family!"
He is as imposing as a mountain, Ling Ran is fearless, and his killing intent is shocking.
"Kill, kill, kill......"
The silent soldiers of the three armies, under Long Feihu's words, instantly erupted with a majestic killing sound, shaking the heavens and the earth.
"Now that Her Royal Highness the princess has gone to my border in person, my Dragon and Tiger Legion, as the elite division of the empire, is duty-bound to behead the national thieves and Kuang Sheji. Long Feihu held the general order, and roared, "30,000 elite iron cavalry of the dragon division, follow me to the Lingdu immediately, rescue Your Majesty, and kill Yun Chong, and then the 70,000 dragon division infantry carry grain and grass baggage, and chase with all their might, within half a month, they must reach the city of Lingdu, and the rest of the tiger divisions will strictly guard the battle knife gorge and consolidate the defense line. ”
Two generals with heavy knives received the order, and were about to point their troops to open up, outside the camp gate, a light horse suddenly covered with blood, rushed straight to the camp gate, and quickly came to the front of the general's platform.
Long Feihu looked at the warrior who was rushing straight forward, his pupils shrank, and the cold light burst out.
The light cavalry warrior sat straight on his horse, led his horse and fixed himself in front of Long Feihu, did not dismount, did not speak, but stared at him vigorously.
"Is it the Tiger Rider?" Long Feihu stared at each other with his eyes.
The light cavalry warrior bit his lip tightly, nodded, and pointed to the southeast of heaven and earth.
"Is it to defend the country?" Long Feihu's killing intent grew.
The warrior nodded again, relieved, the light in his eyes dimmed instantly, blood gushed out of his mouth, and the whole person fell from his horse to the ground.
Su Ye fixed his eyes to look at the warrior, only to see that the three iron arrows behind his back were deep into the vest, and the blood that flowed out was already black.
He was shocked in his heart, and realized that this warrior had relied on strong willpower to make it here, and reported the news to the main force of the Dragon and Tiger Legion.
"Defend the country!" Long Feihu's eyes were cold with murderous intent, and Ling Tian roared, "Order, order the Tiger Riding Thunder Department and Wind Department to move closer to the position of Ze Division, and the two elites of the Dragon Riding Heaven and Earth will immediately rush to Qingcang City." ”
He took out two battle flags, handed them to the two generals who listened to the order, and roared angrily: "No matter how many people and horses there are in the country, I want it to be buried in Qingcang and Lei Ze." ”
Facing Long Feihu's tyrannical killing intent, the two generals instantly ordered to leave.
In just a moment, the sound like rolling thunder resounded across the earth, the war horses neighed, the iron hooves cracked, and the 20,000 elite dragoons rushed towards the distance like a torrent of steel.
Seeing the elite dragon riders galloping away, Princess Yue's face not only did not improve, but also faintly showed worry.
Long Feihu looked at her worried expression, laughed, and comforted: "Your Highness, don't worry, the small country of Weiguo, there are less than 100,000 elites in the country, if it dares to cross the border thunder pool of my Chu country, I will dare to let it come and go." ”
"General Long, doesn't you think that Wei Guo came too coincidentally?" the worry in Princess Yue's eyes became more and more intense.
"I'm afraid there is a trick!" Su Ye also said with a frown.
When Long Feihu heard the two of them say this, his heart sank, and he also felt weird, and exclaimed: "Could it be ......?"
He pondered the various entanglements here, and his mind condensed, trying to quickly sort out the connections, when a huge roar suddenly resounded through the void again, coming from outside the camp.
Su Ye and the three of them were shocked, and hurriedly stared into the distance, only to see the three tiger horse scouts flying like four hooves, directly breaking through the camp gate guards, and heading straight to Jiangtai.
The three of them were covered with sweat, jumped off their horses in front of the general's platform, knelt on the ground on their knees, and said urgently to Long Feihu: "General, the main force of the National Lei Cavalry has gone straight to the Battle Sword Gorge. ”
Long Feihu's pupils shrank, and he was shocked: "How many people, who is the leader!"
The specific number of people is still unknown, but the three subordinates carefully probed along the way, but heard that it was the leader of the son of the country, Yingyi, and the handsome flag held by Lei Qi was indeed the flower of thunder flames. ”
"Win Yi!" Long Feihu's face changed, "It turned out to be Win Yi." ”
