- Stone Town in the Tianai Mountains.
This is the last barrier in the west of Daye, and every day, information about Stone Town is scattered throughout Daye like snowflakes. The states and counties on the front line are looking forward to getting the latest news from Stone Town every day, and even the simplest sentence of peace can make every state and county safe. General Qi Leyi is still guarding the city. For countless people, this is the best news. It can make their hearts calm down for a while, and hope that Qi Leyi can create a miracle again.
And on the city wall of Stone City at this time, including the generals under the command of the right general Qi Leyi, the cultivators who joined the army, all saw a shocking picture unfolding in front of their eyes.
On the ground below the city, countless tents were erected, as if out of thin air in front of the stone city, mountains made of gray cloth were built. In front of this black oppressive army, one by one the huge equipment of the stone-throwing siege is being built, and there are already signs of completion.
Originally, there was no water flow on the earth, but when the army arrived, the battlefield aqueduct was dug here, so there were countless streams out of thin air. While cooking, countless cooking smoke rises, and thousands of columns of smoke are discharged straight into the sky, forming a scene like black clouds destroying the city.
Countless people are busy in an orderly manner, and the air seems to be condensing an invisible force, like a reservoir of water, when the gate is opened, it brings the power of overwhelming the mountains and seas.
Everyone looked at the frosty army that was silently busy building engineering equipment and sharpening the swords in their hands. Many of the defending generals of Stone Town were silent. There was a dead silence. No one offered to send troops to harass the siege equipment that attacked the opposing side, because everyone knew that in the face of the monstrous murderous aura of the opposing army, all the assault troops attacking the camp would be sent to death in vain.
There is no strategy for any luck, there is no strategy for winning out of life, and any art of war and formation will be torn apart and destroyed in the face of the collision of absolute power. The attacking army of Flowing Frost led by Wind and Snow, and the defending army led by Qi Leyi, will inevitably start a decisive battle without fancy. Perhaps a hundred years later, Tianai Mountain Stone Town will become another ancient battlefield. It's just that what the result will be, can only be written by future generations.
A battle to the death is quietly coming.
"General Qi, the ambassador from the royal court has arrived!"
Above the city, someone broke through this dead silence and calm.
Turning his head, under the guards of his entourage, two men and a woman were preparing to climb the barrier ladder and walk up the barrier.
Among the three, the man at the back of the row is the eldest nephew of Da Ye Qi Chunhou, Yang Yun. And next to him is his new wife, Dong Ning, who can be regarded as Yang Ze's sister-in-law. Dong Ning is Dong Xuan's sister, and in terms of appearance and temperament, she is not under Dong Xuan, or even worse. It's just that after marrying a wife, there is more of a kind of softness and gentleness. She was undoubtedly outstanding at the moment, dressed in a cotton skirt and a hooded crane. It's a little weak because of the rush.,With a bit of tired beauty.γ
Dong Ning is the granddaughter of the kingdom's great Sima, but she is extremely proficient in astronomy and geography and plant arithmetic. Before getting married, there were countless princes and disciples in the royal capital who were willing to pursue the skirt, but finally became Yang Yun's wife, which made countless talents who thought they were more amazing than Yang Yun very worried.
After getting married, because of his extraordinary talent and the prestige of the Sima family, he became the great farmer of the kingdom, in charge of Daye's economy, finance, accounting, and collecting the world's land into the treasury.
As the last barrier on the western front, Daye Stone City consumes an astonishing amount of material resources, as a big farmer, Dong Ning naturally wants to come to inspect it in person by the order of the Emperor of Dezhao.
Yang Yun was obviously extremely sympathetic to his wife, caressing her back and holding her body to climb the barrier. Since becoming the Great Si Nong of the Kingdom, Dong Ning has taken on the task of leading the finances of the Great Ye Kingdom. Such a task weighed on a thin woman, who, despite her extraordinary talents, was still a burden of high loads. As a result, his body became more and more weak, which inevitably made Yang Yun feel sorry.
It's just that seeing such a beautiful Dasi Nong come to the front line of the army is extremely exciting for the defenders of Stone Town. Everyone tried their best to poke their heads to look at this once the most outstanding beauty in the royal capital, witness her demeanor, and then see the heroism of her husband Yang Yun, the eldest nephew of the Marquis of Jun Qichun. Bursts of cheers erupted. ..., the arrival of Da Si Nong, naturally, the king still did not forget their group of soldiers who silently fought for Da Ye. Its encouragement to people's morale is self-evident.
In front of the two, there was another young man at the scene who was the most eye-catching except Dong Ning. He was dressed in bright armor, his red cloak of blood satin fluttering in the wind behind him, and the sword and jewels around his waist shimmered with a variety of colors. The face is heroic and extraordinary, and even overwhelms Yang Yun on the side, the most important thing is the luxury of his clothes, which sets off his temperament even more. Such a heroic young general, if he is on the battlefield, in any way, he deserves to be the idol of thousands of soldiers. There may even be a tendency to become gods.
But at this time, in the eyes of several battle-hardened generals and veterans in Stone Town, they were just flashy representatives. On the real battlefield, there is only victory and victory, leading his subordinates out of the tiger's den of war, instead of killing the lives of his subordinates. in order to really become a good general. Otherwise, no matter how well you dress, it will be a knife stack. No matter how heroic the clothes are, they are also the object of the enemy's tricky arrows, and they become hedgehogs shot by ten thousand arrows. Therefore, a famous general with a mediocre face like Qi Leyi didn't have any expression when he saw this young man.
He is Dong Ning's eldest brother, Dong Bin. The new generation of outstanding young characters of the Da Sima family, who was named "General Long Mule" at a young age, is the rising star of the Da Ye military.
Dong Bin responded to the fierce battle on the Western Front this time, and the right general Qi Leyi was also deeply trapped, so he was ordered by the king and led 10,000 soldiers and horses to support. He was originally involved in the Eastern Front battlefield against Kashima Province, and was the defender of the castle. In the face of the siege of Kashima Country, Dong Bin originally desperately thought that he would die in that difficult siege, but in the end, Kashima Country withdrew its troops, and the Eastern Front battlefield was declared broken, and Daye finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Despite all kinds of rumors about the real withdrawal of the Kashima country, Dong Bin still firmly believed that it was the stubborn resistance of the defense of the city that finally made the Kashima country know that it was impossible to do anything, and finally reluctantly announced the withdrawal of the army. So this time he was ordered to come to support Stone Town, and he couldn't help but be high-spirited.
The Eastern Front has just been lifted, and there are still too many broken army formations that need to be rebuilt. Therefore, Dong Bin did not bring many troops, but only 10,000 people from his headquarters. Under the overwhelming military momentum of the frost army in front of him, Qi Le Yi everyone
The generals defending the city of Stone City all understand that this kind of support is just a drop in the bucket, the most important thing is that Stone City is not enough to face the impact of the powerful siege device of the 150,000 army of Flowing Frost, once the city is broken, Dong Bin's 10,000 people are likely to be just
Came to add 10,000 more souls who lingered in Tiankou Mountain.
So in the face of Dong Bin, everyone really couldn't raise their enthusiasm, and they seemed a little cold.
But wait
When facing his sister, Dong Ning, the current Great Si Nong of the Kingdom, many of Qi Leyi's generals changed-their faces changed, and they came forward to support the climb to the steep wall fort, and Dong Ning, who was a little unsteady on his feet, said with a smile, "How did Da Si Nong personally climb the city wall."
Coming, this city is steep, and it is easy to fall down if you are not careful, and two of my soldiers broke their legs a few days ago. If there is any damage to Dasi Nong, how should I explain it to the Son of Heaven? You're the most important person in my Daye!"
Dong Ning shook his head and said, "The general is the most important person to guard the barrier west of my Daye Stone City and resist the invasion of the Flowing Frost army." β
Because of Dong Ning's arrival on the city wall, the atmosphere suddenly became warm and harmonious. Dong Ning manages the world's Tianfu finance, and also manages the allocation of troops, horses, grain and grass scheduling, since Qi Leyi Daye led the battle on the Western Front, there has never been a single mistake in military salary and supply. Therefore, everyone naturally had great respect for Dong Ning, and they did not have any contempt at all because of her youth.
And her husband Yang Yun is also from the military, seeing the momentum of the army of the Flowing Frost Country outside the city, he couldn't help but frown deeply, and asked the veteran general on the side, "If the Flowing Frost army comes to attack with all its might, how long can we defend?"
The veteran general under Qi Leyi shook his head with a wry smile.
Dong Bin watched all this coldly from the sidelines, since he climbed the barrier, he was keenly aware of everyone's enthusiasm for his sister, and a trace of indifference to him, who was ordered to come to support the reinforcements, which made him look forward to the heroic treatment
I was somewhat frustrated, and I felt a slight annoyance in my heart, so I snorted coldly at Yang Yun at this time, "Yang Yun, what are you talking about! If these words are in our battlefield, even if you are my brother-in-law, I will treat you one..., the crime of disturbing people's hearts! What is the meaning of how long can we hold on? You should ask us when we can repel the siege army of the Frost Country at the earliest."
He paused, glanced at the generals of Qi Leyi's defenders who looked over, and said calmly, "During the battle of the founding of the city, the army of the Kashima country was several times this, and it took turns to attack every day, and we held on and did not retreat, and finally caused the will of the other party to collapse and rout! I took advantage of the victory to pursue, covered and killed countless soldiers of the Kashima country, and chased the enemy for thousands of miles, so why am I afraid of these juniors of the Flowing Frost Country right now!"
Between those words, it seemed that it was enough to be proud of the famous general Wind Snow of the opponent's main formation.
There was a hint of anger in Yang Yun's eyes, Dong Bin was obviously using the topic to play, by belittling Yang Yun, to give the generals in Stone City a dismount, in order to show the anger of being ignored in his heart. But then Dong Ning gently pinched his hand below, signaling that it was not easy to argue lightly, and Yang Yun smiled slightly bitterly.
Dong Ning glanced at her husband distressedly.
Holding his hand, he was silent.
In fact, Yang Yun, as the eldest nephew of the Marquis of Xinchun, has also made many military exploits. However, the old lady of the Dong family is the great Sima, and Dong Ning's father is the secretary of the military department, and the family almost dominates the military department and is in a high position. In terms of status, the salary of the Spring Marquis is slightly inferior. As a result, Yang Yun is only the eldest nephew of the Marquis of Xinchun, not the orthodox grandson. So in the eyes of the Dong family, the status is somewhat low.
Although Yang Yun married Dong Ning, he was not ranked in the Dong family. The family feast is only at the last table, and there is a faint meaning that it will be regarded as a surplus.
And Dong Bin has always felt sorry for his sister Dong Ning, and countless young talents in the royal capital who are more amazing than Yang Yun's family background and ability begged him to be a matchmaker to marry Dong Ning, but he didn't expect that in the end she married Yang Yun of the Qichun Hou family, who was not eye-catching in his eyes at all, although the eldest brother was the biggest, Dong Ning's decision was that even the old lady couldn't pull it back.
This made Dong Bin always haunted, whether it was Yang Yun or the Marquis of Xinchun's Mansion, he was very unpleasant. is to often belittle Yang Yun on bright occasions, intentionally or unintentionally.
Dong Ning knew that his husband was a dignified seven-foot man, but he was despised and looked down upon by his own family, if he didn't really love himself, how could he be suffocated by this? It's just that the Dong family is such a big family, and the sense of superiority that has been formed by the family is by no means something they can shake. I can't help but feel a little helpless.
Seeing that it seemed to shock everyone, Dong Bin looked at the army of the Flowing Frost Country and smiled coldly, "When the Kashima Country invaded the battlefield on our Eastern Front, the army was overwhelming
There are also Shinto Zhai cultivators who sweep the formation, which can be said to be extremely strong, and in the end, there is only one way left to retreat. As soon as the eastern front retreated, Liuyi, Anhui, Jin, and Kashima attacked Daye. Now the Frost Army is bound to be disheartened, now
In this posture, it's just a paper tiger. I'm sure that the wind and snow are extremely weak now, and this kind of battle is just to demoralize us, as long as we lose our momentum, they can destroy it without much effort
The power of the city is broken. And as long as we put on a posture of attacking the fortified position without flinching, then the army of Flowing Frost will inevitably be defeated! Just like the army of Kashima Country. Victory was only a matter of time. β
After saying that, Dong Bin threw off the blood satin cloak with a collared sleeve style, and walked down the city tower without looking back.
Looking at his back, Qi Leyi sighed and shook his head, "Why doesn't he still understand, where is there a way out for the Flowing Frost Army, as soon as they retreat, it will be a hundred years of bitter cold." I want to find such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to attack my Da Yewo
soil, and I don't know if the year of the monkey has gone. It is the emptiness of the war in Daye and the retreat of the Kashima country that makes us relax, and it is the last chance to fight to the death. The army of Flowing Frost will cross my Stone Town without fighting to the end
This battle is a battle to the death, and this battle will be all in ashes."
"I'm willing to die with the general!"
"Even if the Frost army sets foot on my Stone City, I will also cut a piece of meat from them!"
"I am willing to follow the general, fight to the last soldier, and swear to follow!"
Countless generals suddenly knelt down.
Even after a long battle, Qi Leyi couldn't help but have wet red eyes.
Suddenly, on the city wall, an order shouted, "The Frost Country has attacked!"
"What!"
The crowd immediately got up and went to the wall. I saw that the black pressure in the distance was like an ant-crossing army array, and it began to move and agitate magnificently. The beating of drums beat from far and near on the hearts of the people. Rows of siege engines, glowing with a slaughtering and lifeless cold, were pushing towards the walls of Stone City from afar.
