Chapter Seventy-Nine
How can the scorched border villages still see the beautiful mountains and rivers and the simple folk customs?
Under a surging fire, I don't know how many people's dry bones were buried?
The frontier is stormy again, and the war continues. In just a few days, many places were lost, the war continued, and the smoke suddenly rose - Tongxia Pass has become the forefront of the war.
Tongxia Pass is surrounded by mountains on all sides, and there is a city in the valley called Tongxia. Tongxia City is barren in terms of materials, and few people live. Tongxia is not an easy place to defend and difficult to attack, as long as it is besieged by a large army, the food and grass are exhausted, and it will be defeated without a fight.
But now, Tongxia's terrain has become a battleground for rebels to enter the hinterland of the Grace Empire. Once Tongxia is lost, the rebels can destroy the withering and decaying momentum and cut into the rich and prosperous plains inside the graceful interior. At that time, the battle situation was out of control.
Grace is bound to be chaotic, the people's wives are separated, and the family is ruined. The world is in dire straits, and this game of chess, which maintains a delicate balance, will inevitably be disrupted...... At that time, how many people could guide the country and scold Fang Xuan?
Today, all the rebels have assembled at Tongxia Pass.
The black clouds crushed the city and wanted to destroy it, and the armor light opened to the sun.
The sound of horns fills the sky with autumn colors, stuffed with rouge and night purple.
Three days ago, the battle of Tongxia Pass, the left and right generals for the protection of Tongxia, all died in the battle under the city of Tongxia, standing by the sword, the blood flowed like an infusion, Rao is so so, and the guards in Tongxia City are not allowed to open the city gate to save them back, angry eyes, generous to death, so righteous.
Tongxia is surrounded by mountains, and several reinforcements have not arrived in time.
The Demon Realm Frontier has also moved, and six days ago, it mobilized troops and horses to obtain the permission of the newly enthroned Emperor Grace to go to the border on the grounds of exterminating the Demon Realm rebels. However, many reinforcements will arrive at Tongxia Pass, at least three days, and at most five days.
Now inside Tongxia Pass, it is exhausted. Horses have long been slaughtered for food, weeds and bark have long been devoured, and the yellow-faced and thin-skinned people have long since had no way out.
There were less than 200 men left to defend the city. The supply of grain and grass is imminent. The rebels were stationed twenty miles outside the city, the soldiers were strong and the horses were strong, the strength was strong and the food was sufficient, except for the dangerous peaks and mountains that Tongxia City relied on on one side, the other three sides were all garrisoned, and they said that as long as the city surrendered, they would not kill a single person indiscriminately.
Tongxia's defeat seems to be a foregone conclusion.
Grace to protect the world is already in jeopardy.
The eyes of all walks of life have long been gathered here, eyeing the tiger, the eyes are blazing, and their hearts are clearly revealed, just waiting for the graceful regime to be turbulent and the people's hearts are unstable, and they will reap the benefits of the fishermen.
In this intolerable game of chess, who can break it and stand up?
The world, wait and see.

Ten days ago, he left Yong Pheasant, and finally this morning, Su Ying arrived at Tongxia Pass. After half a month of traveling, he almost never slept for more than three hours, and now that he arrived in Tongxia, Su Ying couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Su Ying broke out from the small woods outside Tongxia City, and although the guards were not very tight, he still fought an encounter with a small group of soldiers and horses. Except for the dagger for self-defense, he didn't have any blades with him, but now that he thinks about it, he has palpitations.
If it weren't for the "broken green silk", he probably wouldn't have been able to reach Tongxia City.
Although he himself survived, the horse he rode was not so luckyβthe horse had multiple sword wounds, and although they were not deep, they were slightly lame when they walked.
In the early morning in the mountains, the water mist is misty, the towering ancient trees are surrounded by green ** flow, there is silence under Tongxia City, and the sound of horses' hooves of "bang" sounds, getting closer and closer.
The guards of the city watched weary but wary at the top of the city, at the man who had come out of the morning mist.
On the crimson horse, sat a tall, thin young man, dressed in a bloodstained apricot yellow gown and a hat on his head, whose face could not be seen clearly.
"Who is coming! Don't get close, or you'll let off the arrows! Several of the guards picked up their bows and arrows and pointed them carefully at the man.
"Below is a nearby city escaped, there is no long thing, please make it convenient for the soldiers in the city and let me in." Su Ying didn't have any tokens, only a letter that was secretly brought out of the imperial study, and it was still made by Murong Jingyi.
But this thing has to meet their superiors to be useful.
The two soldiers in the city looked at him, exchanged ears, and the last shouted at him, "Dismount, put your hands on top of your head, and we will let you in!" β
Su Ying frowned, not knowing whether to be happy or sad - although he was not a spy and would not take advantage of their kindness, they were too gullible and kind.
Frowning slightly, Su Ying got off the horse, put his hand on top of his head, and walked under the city gate.
The sound of the gates opening was loud and piercing in the silence of the early morning. A soldier in armor looked left and right in the crack in the door that only allowed one person to pass through, and finally came out of the crack in the open door and pointed the tip of the iron gun against Su Ying, "Go!" β
Su Ying entered through the crack in the door, and another soldier inside pointed an iron gun at him and told him to go inside, and the other quickly led his horse in. The gates were closed again.
"Leader, that young man just now was the one who defeated our team." In the woods not far away, two people dressed in uniforms completely different from those of Tongxia's defenders were talking.
"Helper!" Another person next to him exclaimed in a low voice, "It's him, and his subordinates will never admit their mistakes!" That's him! He's the Shadow of the Moonβ"
"Hahaha......" The man who was called to be the helper's eyes widened, and suddenly he looked up to the sky and chuckled a few times, and said, "Wonderful! I'm still wondering how I can avenge my unruly son, but he came to the door first. After a pause, "Let's go back and discuss with the general, I want this guy, and Tongxia City belongs to him." β
With that, the two men turned and left, disappearing into the thick morning mist of the woods.
