79. Falling Moon Xiongguan
The three armies of the Kingdom of Los surrendered unhindered in all the towns they passed on their way to the Brilliant Royal City, and only a few resisted, but they were easily wiped out by the army. The rule of the Brilliant Kingdom has been close to three hundred years, but because of the greed, brutality, and dark rule of the modern Brilliant King, the people of the Brilliant Kingdom are now dedicated, and the nobles only care about themselves and ignore the country, so they will be easily invaded into the hinterland by the Kingdom of Los Kingdom, even if there is no attack of the Kingdom of Rose, it is estimated that it will not be long before there will be a civil uprising.
The three-way army of the Kingdom of Los should not be the four-way army, and the other army is a coalition of the vassal principalities of the Kingdom of Los Kingdom, and the four-way army converges together before the last barrier of the Glorious Royal City.
The area where the Falling Moon Xiongguan is located is full of steep, up to 100 zhang of mountain peaks and cliffs, it is difficult for ordinary people to climb up, and the only exit is the Falling Moon Xiongguan, the Falling Moon Xiongguan is located in the only flat place in this mountain peak cliff, with the mountain peak and cliff as a natural barrier easy to defend and difficult to attack, it is the last barrier in the east of the glorious royal city. If the Kingdom of Los does not attack the detour, it will take at least a month to reach the Brilliant King City, so that all the defenders of the Glory Kingdom will gather in the Brilliant King City, then the desire of the Kingdom of Los to destroy the Brilliant Kingdom is in vain, and if you capture the Falling Moon Xiong Pass, it will only take two days to reach the Brilliant King City, so the Kingdom of Los must capture the Falling Moon Xiong Pass.
Originally, there were more than 1,000 soldiers guarding the Falling Moon Xiong Pass, and the soldiers were strong and strong, but because of the glorious king's reduced finances for his own pleasure, the wages paid were very small, resulting in most of the young and middle-aged people leaving the army to make a living on their own, leaving only some lazy and old, weak, sick and disabled people still in the army, so now there are only more than 400 people left in the Falling Moon Xiong Pass, and most of them are old, weak, sick and disabled. And due to the lack of wages, and even sometimes not payable wages, the guards of the Falling Moon Xiongguan had no choice but to secretly increase the customs clearance fee of the caravan, but in order not to blame the superiors, most of the heads were handed over to let them turn a blind eye, and the rest was used to pay wages, but it was still not enough, and the guards had to secretly sell all the bows and crossbows and catapults guarding the city, leaving only some seriously damaged to support the scene.
The guard general thought that the Brilliant Kingdom had been peaceful for a long time, and it was impossible to have a war, so it didn't matter, but the guard looked at the dense enemy army under the pass, and suddenly had an urge to jump from here, "Damn, what the hell is going on? Why are the bows and crossbows and catapults all bad?" said a strong man with a tiger's back and a strong eye with a sharp eye. "General, the general may be in disrepair, so it's all broken. The general swallowed his saliva and said tremblingly. "Yes, yes, the general must have fallen into disrepair. The surrounding soldiers were also talking nonsense, and the general frowned and looked at the guards with pale faces and the soldiers who were constantly interceding around him, and understood that the bows and crossbows and catapults must have been sold by the guards, and there were soldiers who sincerely interceded for the guards, presumably the money was given to the soldiers by the guards as wages, hey, if it weren't for Your Majesty...... Ay.
The general is afraid of provoking a mutiny, and there are also national reasons, and he needs to rely on them to guard the pass, so he doesn't intend to pursue it, and said loudly: "Calm down all for me, I understand the reason very well, and I also understand your suffering, now is the national disaster, forget about this matter, I hope you can guard the Falling Moon Xiong Pass with me, and you must not let the rabbit cubs of the Los Kingdom capture the Falling Moon Xiong Pass." When the guards and soldiers heard that the general did not hold them accountable, they rejoiced, and responded with a happy face: "Yes, swear to guard the Falling Moon Xiong Pass, swear to guard the Falling Moon Xiong Pass." The general looked at the jubilant soldiers, nodded with satisfaction, and looked at the dense enemy troops under the pass with a look of fearlessness.
This general's name is Zhan Meng, he is the only one in the glorious kingdom who has been awarded the position of general, commanding the whole army, the strength is the peak of the sword master, the strong man who has entered the hero level with half a foot, he is loyal, and is the absolute henchman of the former brilliant king, the former brilliant king handed over all the troops of the country to him before his death, so that he can assist the current king well, Zhan Meng is very grateful to the previous king for his kindness, and he wants to develop the country hard, the current king advises him as soon as there is something wrong, and does not let the king abuse his power, the country slowly develops under the efforts of Zhan Meng, but because the current king is bewitched by the villain, he has relieved Zhan Meng's military power, retain the title of general, let Zhan Meng idle at home, and prevent him from participating in national affairs.
Because without the fierce exhortation of the current king, he completely let himself go, abused his power, and became a greedy and lustful tyrant, the country became more and more poor and declined under the rule of the king, while the nobles became more and more powerful, and there was a faint threat to the king's power.
And now, because of the attack of the Kingdom of Los Angeles, the current king has no choice but to reactivate the battle fierce, and let him lead most of the defenders of the glorious royal city to defend the Falling Moon Xiong Pass together. The army brought by the fierce war plus the army in the checkpoint has a total of more than 3,000 people, but it has to fight against more than 20,000 soldiers of the Kingdom of Los Angeles, even with the help of the checkpoint.
