Because of the back of the western basin, the temperature in the northwest of Central Bay in February is much warmer than that of the western continent, in the western gateway of the Central Bay Empire, Loushan Lieguan, the guard general Long Wuyang saw the last patrol light horse return to the fortress, his cold face became more and more solemn, there is still no news, since Lord Longyang went out of the customs from here to the west, it was like a kite that had cut off the line, but it came back about the news of the interception and killing of the Dongting people along the way, so that the entire western Longjia was shrouded in a layer of dark clouds that were colder than the cold winter, and the female leader of the Yetan Ancient Disc who was attacked and killed by the Dongting people personally went into battle, five hundred elites drawn from various departments of the East Garden, and Long Yang was accompanied by no more than two hundred Longjia guards, Even if each of these dragon guards is a battle-hardened warrior, but in such a vast land, the longbow and fast horse of the archer of the Eastern Court is the real master, and the Yetan Ancient Disc is not a general, and its leader Yelu Qiyeguang is even more famous

"My lord, let's go back and rest first!" said Deputy General Wang Sheng from behind

"Rest? The emperor's envoy has entered the headquarters of our Western Army in Guangling, the emperor is limited to the end of March, if the adults have not returned by then, they will have our Western Army and the flattering Zhangwu Army that has suffered heavy losses in the battle of Dijing, such a situation, how can I rest peacefully" Long Wuyang looked at the dark earth in the distance with bloodshot eyes, his fingers clenched into fists, he really couldn't wait, he smashed the black clouds in front of him with a punch, and let himself see what was going on.

Although the flattering Zhangwu army was one with the Western Army decades ago, but since the two armies fought and split, it has long been a situation that has become a fire and water, this time the shame of the imperial capital, flattering the 300,000 people of the Zhangwu army was defeated by the Dongting army, which became the key to the fiasco of the imperial capital, such an army, not to mention the grievances in front, is that there are no grievances, how can the glorious Western Army, which has guarded the country for a hundred years, join it. The Western Army and the Flattering Zhangwu Army have long been self-contained troops, and every time there is a dispute between the two sides, the Central Committee of Central Belgium is always biased to flatter the Zhangwu Army.

The reason for this is known to everyone, the central government can't tolerate the Western Army in its eyes, and although it is incompetent to flatter the Zhangwu Army, it is good that for those Wenchen, they can come and go as soon as they are recruited, and on the contrary, it is impossible to put the same order on the Western Army, the head of the Long family. Decades ago, with the determination of a strong man to break his wrist, he said the oath that "the oath of the Western Army Long family is better than flattery", that is, from that moment on, the Western Army Long family really got rid of the containment from the central side, otherwise in the battle of Dijing, the 200,000 Western Army would definitely be dragged out and fight to the death with the Dongting Army, just like the defeated Yanzhou Army, and finally became the victim of the powerful ministers who sacrificed for their own interests" I heard that this time the emperor's envoy entered from the main gate of Guangling, which can only be entered by the head of the Long family, it seems that he can't hold it back!" The deputy general Wang Sheng said with an ugly face: "Flattering Zhangwu, the army has lost most of it in the imperial capital. The weapons and equipment are said to have been lost for a full twenty miles, if it weren't for the Dongting people who were busy looting the city, I am afraid that there would not even be a single one who escaped back, if it really took our western army to fill the gap of flattery and martial arts. I'm afraid that the 200,000 Western Army will no longer exist, but the general is not in Guangling, and there is no news from the Western Kingdom, so what can we do? Why don't we send an elite scout to cross the border to investigate?"

"It's not that easy to cross the line!"

Long Wuyang withdrew his gaze from a distance, and smiled bitterly at the corner of his mouth, "The other side is no longer the world of the Gauls." So even the previous border army has changed, and last time I personally investigated, I encountered a patrol cavalry of the other side. It is considered to be an eye-open, all black-armored horses, the head of the horse and the horse have spikes on the horse, the cavalry on it is as black as water, with a weapon similar to a bow on their backs, and a hundred meters away I saw our neat reining and turning movements, like a storm rolling up in the flatland, that kind of murderous depression, even a variety of 100 meters can also be felt, I dare to say that the 200,000 Longjiaxi Army, in addition to the general's Longjiawei, will definitely not find a second one, but there are only a few Longjiawei, but more than 2,000, it is already the result of countless efforts by the general, and the opposite side is just an ordinary border army, it is no wonder that the Gauls who have been entangled with us for decades,In just a few years, it was swept away by the other party.,It's really not a grade.,I've heard that the Falcon Imperial Army on the opposite side has a total of 10,000 people.,It's all really first-class elite troops.,Not a miscellaneous army like Gaul.,If we provoke the hostility of the other side because of our unauthorized actions.,Just the more than 1,000 people in our pass, I'm afraid it's not enough to even plug the other party's teeth"

Wang Sheng, the deputy general of tens of thousands of people, showed a trace of horror on his face, the disparity between the forces of the two sides was too great.

Although the Loushan Pass is the gateway, but because it is built according to the mountain, the number of garrisons is only 1,500 people, plus rotation, the current force in the pass is less than 1,000, since the fall of Gaul, the peace of several years has made it here not as tense as before, the task of being responsible for the duty is mainly to enter the pedestrians and caravans, pedestrians need to pass the certificate, and the caravan is simpler, as long as you are willing to send some, how much will take care of some, during this time, the defenders are also very nourishing, but the general of Longyang has not returned for a long time, the news is cut off, and the envoy sent by the central government of Central Belgium is aggressive, so that this small gateway located in the westernmost part is not calm

Seeing the main general Long Wuyang go down from the city wall, the soldiers on duty late at night were finally more relaxed, "Come on, don't stand still!

Everybody pays for it. I made up two jars of water mixed with less water wine, found a long table and put more than a dozen large bowls, so cold night, to be able to have a hot wine to drink is the happiest thing, now it is no longer wartime, there is no need to stare at the opposite side nervously at all times, I am afraid that a leak will see the enemy as many as ants on the city wall, although these defenders have suffered a lot of hardship, after several years of war, now they are idle, no different from other ordinary soldiers, the overall situation of the Western Army has nothing to do with them, just take food to eat, and the lower-level officers will not prevent everyone from eating and drinking, some simply mix together, some are already drunk and drunk, and they fall to the ground,

There are also those who hold a big bowl and boast of their previous military experience in the noise of everyone, "Don't you see it, that time the Gallic army of 50,000 or 60,000 people stormed the pass, my God, looking down from above, in addition to the head of the human head, the barbarians of the Western Kingdom have grown tall and weight, wearing a heavy armor that I don't know how much it weighs, the bow and arrow can bounce up on it, I picked up the knife and hacked three ............" Just when a group of people were coaxing, suddenly a soldier stood up in a trance. Walked to the battlement to relieve his hands, raised his head unconsciously, his body trembled violently, and he didn't even lift his pants, so he ran backwards crying wolf, shouting in his mouth, "There is a situation!"

With a poof, the squad leader, who was enthusiastically describing how brave he was, sprinkled a rain of wine on the sky, spraying the faces of the people nearby, and the people nearby couldn't care about it. Anyway, he was also an experienced Rong garrison, and his reaction was still quite fast, he picked up his weapon and ran to his position, and sure enough, he saw a red line appear on the edge of the earth in front of him, which was a bright light formed by countless torches "What's going on?" Long Wuyang hurriedly ran up to the city wall, his eyes were red like rabbits, and the cold wind of the night hit his face, but there was a smell of blood in his face, in the direction of the line of fire. Is it the direction of the Falcon Empire, is it really a crow's mouth, did the 10,000 elite imperial soldiers really kill it tonight, and the people of Dongting broke the imperial capital. The main force of the Central Beja Empire has lost most of it, and it is no longer able to fight again, if the Falcon Empire on the Western Continent comes to take advantage of the fire and rob again...... The corners of Long Wuyang's mouth flashed a hint of desolation, tonight. Whether it is as a soldier of Central Belgium or the Western Army of the Long Family, there is no reason to retreat "all-arms war." Everyone go up to the city wall!" Long Wuyang gave an order with a solemn face, and the military camp in the pass suddenly exploded, the bell representing the alarm shook the night sky, and the city walls on both sides were immediately covered with archers, and the sound of the bowstring pulling apart was like rolling thunder before the rainstorm, and the red line on the opposite side was increasing, more and more, like a huge fire cloud moving at high speed, "How many people are this!" A Zhongbian soldier swallowed a mouthful of saliva nervously, the hand holding the weapon only felt cold, at a loss, did not know what to do, the timid, the weapon in the hand was trembling, it belonged to the eighteen large trebuchets in the pass fortress, because they had not been used for nearly two years, under the wind and rain in the humid temperature in the northwest, the winches had rusted, and in some places they were even rusted to death, more than a dozen trebuchets were now temporarily erected, but they couldn't pull away their long arms, "What are the trebuchets doing!" Pull it away!" Vice General Wang Sheng panted and ran over in person, and the self-boasting squad leader just now smiled helplessly at the corner of his mouth. How to pull this trebuchet apart, it's all rusty, but adults are here to try! Wang Sheng was also dumbfounded, who would have thought that there had been no war for two years, and this first-line pass fortress would become like this, no wonder I heard that when the Dongting people first stepped on the imperial capital for fifty miles, the above ordered the gate of the imperial capital to be closed, and it took half a day to be stunned, for this half a day, more than 50,000 Japanese soldiers of the imperial capital stick were dyed red and sprinkled all over the Changting South River less than ten miles away from the imperial capital, and the sudden war forced everyone's potential out at this moment, even knocking and chiseling, it took more than ten minutes, and eight of the twelve trebuchets were opened, and four of them were completely wasted"Bullet!" Seeing the gesture coming from the city wall, the deputy general Wang Sheng shouted, the soldiers hurriedly pushed the huge solid stone projectile inside, don't look at the number of trebuchets, but they are the largest martial saint-level catapults in the Zhongbia defensive weapons, each is a long arm of fifteen meters long, occupying five square meters of footing firmly fixed, the soldiers who push the stone projectile need three, the stone-throwing distance is more than two hundred and fifty steps, in such a pass terrain, such a large catapult is absolutely nightmare for any attacker, the Gauls once suffered here,

In just ten minutes, the red cloud outside has approached a distance of three or four hundred meters, "Archers prepare!"; Long Wuyang held a long lance, standing on the city wall, the blade was shining cold, the shooters on both sides were already bows and arrows, the cold light was flashing, at this time, everyone also saw the situation in front of them, and they all gasped coldly, under the red firelight, all the black-armored horses, everyone was bubbling with a trace of rising white gas, that was the weapon of the night, many armor soldiers also buckled the hideous iron face, the black and swarthy opening, the inside was also bubbling white gas, such a group of killing gods that suddenly appeared in the flames, densely stopped in the distance, the number was enough for thousands of people, I saw a general in front shouted, and a part of the black cavalry jumped off the war horse neatly, remove his shield and crossbow from his horse, prepare his equipment, and put it on the other cavalry horses that did not dismount "Attention, the enemy is coming!"

Long Wuyang nervously shook Changshuo in his hand, he didn't understand what the other party said, but he could roughly guess some, it would be false to say that he was not nervous, there were more than 1,000 people in the entire pass, and there were less than 500 heavy infantry left after excluding the archers, but the heavy infantry on his side was completely incomparable with the other party, the other party dismounted to attack the city, judging from the opponent's fierce atmosphere, it was definitely an elite unit in a hundred battles, even stronger than the last time he saw it on the border, relying on five hundred heavy infantry to block its landing on the city, it was too extravagant, but as a Sino-Biya soldier, the Long family of the Western Army guarding the country, even if he died here, he would never let an enemy step over

Just when the defenders on the pass were anxious, the prepared black cavalry seemed to have given some order, and the dense queue actually dispersed from the middle, and a man and a horse slowly came out of the queue and approached the pass, "Is it the enemy's general?" Long Wuyang's eyes widened angrily, if it wasn't too far away, he had the urge to open his bow and shoot an arrow cluster, no matter whether he could shoot it or not, the courage and courage of the Zhongbiya soldiers must not be succumbed, but the next moment, he heard chaos all around, "It's the general!" Someone shouted, only to see a man and a horse moving forward alone, a tall figure, as if there was a trace of smoke rising. He is dressed in black armor, and the white hair on the sideburns is particularly eye-catching. And he also carried a black and heavy horse lance in his hand, the blade was shining, and the mane of the mount under his crotch was flying, Xu was excited to set foot on his homeland, and he stood up fifty meters away, and hissed! Isn't it the general Longyang who he has been looking forward to, "Rong Guizi, you bastard boy, are you going to let me spend the night outside?" Don't you open the door yet!" The familiar voice of the head of the family, Long Yang, came, Long Wuyang struck a spirit, and his face flowed with irrepressible joy, this voice, this little name, who is it besides the general!" Quick, open the city gate and welcome the general home!" Long Wuyang shouted like crazy, tears streaming down his face, the general is back, and the Western Army no longer has to look at people's faces, (to be continued......)
