All the way to the west, along the way through the city and through the house, not in a hurry, to appreciate the folk customs of various places, all over the scenery of foreign places.

Dugu Jingyun deliberately let everyone relax their mood, return to nature, and feel the grass and trees around them, the smart wind, the ethereal clouds, and the soft and fickle water. From careful observation to attentive perception, to the integration of body and mind, layer by layer, so that everyone's state of mind is subtly transformed and sublimated. Cultivation is everywhere and all the time. Not limited to dancing knives and guns, meditating and meditating, only the continuous sublimation of the state of mind can deepen and understand the true meaning of martial arts.

The line stopped, and after a few months, it was only three hundred miles away from Baiyun City. Dugu Jingyun made everyone clean up their mood and return to their military careers. Everyone's momentum suddenly changed, solemn, solemn, and the whole body was majestic.

"Get on the horse!" Dugu gave an order, and the five thousand gold-armored soldiers of the whole army flew on their horses in unison. Just as he was about to spur his horse, there was a rapid sound of horses' hooves in front of him, and smoke and dust were raised behind him.

In a moment, he rushed to the front of Dugu Jingyun and the others, and the person forcibly restrained the galloping war horse, quickly turned over and jumped off the horse, and made a standard military salute towards Dugu Jingyun, and said in a hoarse voice, "I am a soldier of the palace guard, and on the order of the prince, I hereby convey an urgent military order to the commander of the dragon and lion guard!" Then, turn over and gallop away.

"Dugu Xiaoyou! 100,000 are in a hurry, and the Eagle's Beak Stream Xiongguan is lost. The Flying Rain Dynasty's five million troops drove straight in, and in a few months, dozens of cities in the western county and prefecture of Lianke were like bamboos. Now we are advancing towards my Cold Valley City. The city is located between two canyons, and there is only one wall to climb through. Although it was easy to defend and difficult to attack, our side only had 50,000 remnants to defend the city, but there were millions of troops in the local area to suppress the city. It is imminent, I hope to lead your troops to rush to reinforcements, and I will personally lead the army to follow. Wang Fu Ling!" Dugu Jingyun read the letter repeatedly, frowning and pondering, how could the Eagle's Beak Jian Xiongguan be suddenly lost, and it could only be captured except for the inside and outside. Could it be that someone really colluded with the Flying Rain Dynasty to send troops to attack the Western Prefecture in order to contain the princes of the counties and prefectures, so that they would not dare to act rashly, and then mutiny would occur in the imperial capital. Sure enough, it was done, scheming, and carefully arranged, which made people unguardable. At present, the only way to do so is to take a quick approach and put down the army of the Flying Rain Dynasty as soon as possible.

Dugu Jingyun put away the secret letter, turned the horse's head, and waved his whip in the other direction: "Go!"

Five thousand gold-armored horses galloped, leaving behind a cloud of billowing dust.

This place in Cold Valley City, when Dugu Jingyun came back from the Dagaus Wasteland, he used to be here, and he was amazed by the danger of this city. Once the enemy breaks through this dangerous city, there will be a flat river behind him, and there is no danger to defend. As a result, the state of West County is in danger.

At the head of the city of Cold Valley, a middle-aged general in golden armor was bleeding all over, his expression was haggard, and his eyes were full of endless sadness at the end of the hero. If Dugu Jingyun was here, he would be surprised to find that this person was actually the middle-aged gold-armored general beside Cui Shuai, Wu Tianyu. Born as a civilian, he is different from other generals, from a soldier to a general, all with a knife and a gun. Follow Cui Shuai has experienced a hundred battles, has a resolute personality, a steady style, and is good at fighting tough battles.

The Eagle Beak Stream Xiongguan was suddenly lost, and the 500,000 troops led by Cui Shuai were chased and killed by the tail of the flying rain and millions of troops, and unfortunately martyred. When he was dying, he entrusted the handsome seal to Wu Tianyu, hoping that he could finally use this dangerous city to block the enemy's footsteps and wait for reinforcements.

After dozens of days, the city is still there, 200,000 defenders, only 50,000 or 60,000 wounded people remain. He was once nine deaths, and he was not so fearful and terrible in the face of death. For a soldier, the most painful and desolate thing is when the enemy army crosses over his position and tramples on the homeland and people behind him.

Looking outside the city, the enemy camp is overwhelming, at least a million people, and may launch a new and more powerful attack at any time. However, their own reinforcements were nowhere to be seen, and the soldiers of the whole army and the people of the city looked through their eyes, looking forward to a miracle.

General Jin Jia Wu also persuaded the people in the city to quickly evacuate this dangerous city, at least the old, weak, sick and disabled should be evacuated. However, the people of the whole city and the soldiers of the whole army swore to live and die with Hangu City. Even if there is only one soldier left, one soldier and one citizen, they will fight to the death.

More than 1,000 officers and men in our army have been seriously wounded and are no longer able to go up to the city. An adjutant general reported heavily.

General Wu frowned when he heard this, and sighed: "If it goes on like this, I don't know how long this dangerous city can last."

"In addition, there are more than 10,000 young men in the city who have asked to participate in the war, and now is the time to employ people, so his subordinates have taken it upon themselves to keep all of them. I hope the general will forgive me. The adjutant knelt down on one knee and apologized.

General Wu held up the deputy general and said with emotion: "Serving the country with enthusiasm, they are all iron-blooded men in my Xijun Prefecture." Send the order down, immediately issue them armor blades, and integrate them into various warbands. ”

"General, there is not much food and grass in the city, barely enough to last a few days. If reinforcements are delayed any longer, I'm afraid," the adjutant general said with a worried face.

"We have been here for dozens of days, and we have bought a lot of time and fighters for our army. Reinforcements were also on the road day and night, rushing here in a hurry. I believe it won't be long before it comes. General Wu said soothingly, even he didn't know the bottom of his own heart, and he was ready to live and die with the city.

Wearing the stars and the moon, running non-stop. Time is life, it is a warplane. Every minute late, every minute late, Coldvalley City could be lost. This is by no means the result that Dugu Jingyun wants to see, and he will never allow this picture of the destruction of the city to be shown in front of him.

Looking up at the night sky, Dugu Jingyun issued a death order: "There are still thirty miles, before the moon is in the middle of the sky, the whole army must rush to Cold Valley City!"

Under the moonlight, the sound of hooves is like thunder, the dust rolls up, and the moon closes to cover the sky.

"Look, reinforcements are coming, our reinforcements are coming!" exclaimed someone in the city. In an instant, the whole city was boiling and cheering.

General Wu stood at the head of the city with his hands in his hands, looking at the billowing dust in the distance, and his heart was filled with endless joy and excitement. Immediately afterward, his heart sank. With many years of experience, it was quickly determined that the approximate number of this support army was no more than 5,000 at most. Judging from the current situation, let alone 5,000, 50,000, even if it is 200,000, it is just a drop in the bucket, and at most it will delay the time of the city break. In the face of these 5,000 soldiers who are not afraid of hardships and dangers, they can't help but look up to the sky and sigh, sad and incomprehensible, why do they have to take these 5,000 fresh lives in vain?

Five thousand gold-armored soldiers entered the city, and the streets were lined with crowds, but there was a dead silence, and everyone's eyes showed a deep disappointment, despair.

Dugu looked at these people's expressions, and his heart was a little sour. He understood people's feelings, but he didn't want to explain more, and no one would believe what he said. Only with future actions can they prove their value and role.

Ordering the whole army to gather under the city tower, Dugu Jingyun's figure suddenly rose and landed lightly on the head of the city at a height of 30 meters.

"The commander of the Dragon Lion Guard of the Royal Mansion has seen the general!" Dugu Jingyun gave a military salute to the other party.

"Huh!" both exclaimed almost simultaneously.

"You are General Wu next to Cui Shuai, we have met!" Dugu Jingyun said in surprise.

"You are the boy back then, Dugu Jingyun!" General Wu looked up and down in surprise. After a moment, he sighed lightly, "What are you doing? It's a pity that these soldiers, the blood of five thousand soldiers in this city has increased." ”

"General Wu! As a soldier, you can't let your anger out and your ambition can't be taken away. There are not many soldiers, but fine. Even in the face of millions of enemies, my five thousand dragon and lion guards will never be afraid. As long as an order is given, the tiger will surely enter the flock, making the enemy tremble and chill. "Dugu is arrogant and confident.

"Courage is commendable! But this is a battlefield, not a arena. The million-strong army is child's play, and the integration of 5,000 sergeants into it is like a drop in the ocean, and it is wiped out in an instant. Young people, blood can be impulsive, but not blind. General Wu shook his head and smiled bitterly.

Dugu Jingyun was not moved when he heard this, and still said lightly: "What General Wu said is true, under normal circumstances, this kind of behavior is naturally self-defeating, as long as the person is a little clear-headed, no matter how arrogant he is, he will not be stupid enough to shake the million army with five thousand people." However, if the other party is just a million ants, then it is a different matter. ”

When General Wu heard this, his face turned slightly angry and said: "Why do you say that the other party is a million ants? My 200,000 army has been fighting for dozens of days in this dangerous city, and there are only 50,000 or 60,000 disabled people left, do you think the other party is still an ant?"

"General Wu is angry! With all due respect, your sergeant is an ordinary soldier, but in the face of such a soldier, my dragon and lion guard can block ten or a hundred with one, and even if he is trapped in a thousand troops, he will be able to retreat with his whole body. If I say this, does General Wu believe it?" Dugu Jingyun said very calmly.

"You mean these soldiers?" General Wu said, pointing to the dragon and lion guards under the city, "How can I not see it." ”

"General Wu's cultivation is the five grades of the king!" Dugu Jingyun replied non-questioningly.

"Can you see that?" General Wu had a look of surprise on his face.

"If I say that none of the ten generals Wu is an opponent of any of them, will General Wu believe it?" Dugu said in shock.

"What do you say? any of them? What strength do they have?" General Wu asked with shock and some disbelief.

"The worst ones are the Eight Grades of the Emperor!" Dugu Jingyun replied lightly.

When General Wu heard this, he took a step back in shock: "Is this true?"

Dugu Jingyun straightened the hair that was blown away by the wind, and said cautiously: "Does the general think that I will still lie in this life-and-death situation? ”

"Impossible! This is too against the sky! An army composed of five thousand emperor masters is rare in the world. I can't accept that. General Wu shook his head desperately, only to feel that his brain was a little confused.

"Instead of sitting back and waiting for the opponent's million-strong army to calmly crush the city, it is better to take the initiative to attack, take the enemy by surprise, seize his mind, make him frightened, and not be able to figure out the reality of our side for a while. You can buy more time and space, and then plan to retreat from the enemy. Dugu was shocked.

"Let me think, I think," General Wu struggled to calm his chaotic state of mind and make his brain clearer.

"Tomorrow morning, I will lead my troops out of the city to meet the enemy. The general may supervise the battle at the head of the city, but if I do not win, I will not return to the city. Dugu Jingyun didn't say anything more to the general, dropped a word, and disappeared into the city.
