"I'll only give you half a stick of incense."

Zhu Xiongying said in a condensed voice.

At this time, His Majesty the Archmage Emperor was very unhappy.

It was clear that he had broken through to the Qi Heaven Realm, but the deity was unable to move, and had to spend several days to stabilize the realm, otherwise it would leave a very serious sequelae.

This made Zhu Xiongying think of the Xianxia he had seen in the past, and scolded him thousands of times in his heart.

Among those, the sky exploded in an instant after the breakthrough, but when it came to me, the first breakthrough was the weakest point in time, and the setting was completely different from those settings, and I once felt that I had been deceived.

Han Buli was slightly stunned.

Half a sticky incense?

My experience for more than half a month, how can I finish talking about half a pillar of incense?

However, the emperor's destiny is greater than the sky, and it can only be half a pillar of incense.

Han Buli thought quickly in his heart, summarized all the key information of this trip, took a deep breath, and spoke.

"Your Majesty, this is your visit..."

Thinking of the experience of more than half a month, Han Buli couldn't help but feel a tingle in his scalp.

"The land of Western Europe is full of darkness."

Then, Han Buli quickly said everything he had experienced.

Roughly to sum up.

There is indeed a power beyond mortals in Western Europe, and this power has spread, and the whole land of Western Europe is ruled by this power in terror.

The former Roman Empire was completely controlled by this force.

The major principalities are also subjugated to this force, and they are played with like dolls.

There is a religion called the 'Red Moon' that controls everything, and the Archbishop of the Red Moon is the current ruler of Western Europe, known as the Supreme Father.

That's why it's called 'darkness'.

It's because after the appearance of this Red Moon Religion, he didn't do anything at all.

For example, digging out people's hearts and livers to refine medicine and powder is the most common and sparse and ordinary thing.

Not to mention the rest, at every turn, it is to make a mass grave and bury it alive, saying that it is necessary to sacrifice the red moon.

Darkness and terror enveloped every part of Western Europe.

So much so that throughout Western Europe, the air is filled with blood all year round, and even the sun and the moon have a layer of blood mist.

After arriving at the border of Western Europe from Han Buree, he stayed for a total of seven days.

In these seven days, Han Buli calculated a little, he had encountered a total of seventeen killings and eight serious injuries, if it weren't for the pill given by His Majesty the Emperor, I am afraid that it would have been over a long time ago.

Han Buli condensed the key points of these experiences, and only spent 1/4 of the time of incense sticking to tell it, and he said it quickly and not very carefully.

However, for Zhu Xiongying, it is enough to have a general understanding.

His original purpose was to determine the current state of affairs in Europe.

In the original historical trajectory, today's Europe should belong to the end of the Middle Ages, and if nothing else, the industrial revolution will soon begin.

However, judging from the news that Han Buli brought back this time.

If nothing else, it must be an accident.

Because of the emergence of this mysterious force in Europe, because of the emergence of the bullshit Red Moon Sect, not to mention the industrial revolution in Europe today, the industry has not played with a hammer, and the economic construction has directly regressed thousands of years ago.

"Your Majesty, the minister has also got a piece of news."

After Han Buli finished speaking, he took a deep breath.

This news, in his opinion, is of great significance to the current Ming Dynasty.

"Say."

Zhu Xiongying glanced at Han Buli, although this trip to Western Europe was dangerous, this kid seemed to have gained a good harvest.

Thinking that since the intelligence line of Europe has been opened, it is better to continue to explore, anyway, sooner or later Europe will be taken, and it is always beneficial to collect more intelligence.

There is one thing to be aware of, and that is security.

Even Han Buli was almost lost in Western Europe, and if he replaced someone else, the mortality rate would not be low.

"One of the twelve bishops of the Red Moon Sect, he is the national teacher of the Timurid Empire."

Han Buli said in a deep voice.

This news was obtained at the cost of almost losing his life, and it was also the most valuable news he thought was the most valuable.

Sure enough. ’

Zhu Xiongying suddenly became a little interested in this Red Moon Archbishop.

This guy sent his bishop to the Timurid Empire to help Timur unify Central Asia, and then he sent the Cripple to East Asia, an obvious attempt to develop his Red Moon cause around the world.

The strange thing that trapped the Blue Jade army in the Gobi is probably the masterpiece.

"You go and rest first, I have my own arrangements."

Zhu Xiongying opened his mouth.

"Yes."

Han Bu bowed and saluted, and then quickly retreated.

For more than half a month, it was like a dream demon for him, and now as soon as he opened his eyes, he felt that he was still in that dark and bloody place.

In contrast, Daming is simply a paradise on earth.

And beside the Qiankun Shifting Array.

Zhu Xiongying originally wanted to go to the Forbidden City again and explain a few words to Lao Zhu and Ah Biao.

frowned, wrinkled.

"Faster than expected."

Originally, Zhu Xiongying estimated that this doppelganger would be able to support a stick of incense for a long time, but now it seems that this can't even hold a stick of incense.

The figure turned into a wisp of green smoke in place, and the birds dissipated.

Jiangxi Buzheng Envoy Division, 721 mineral deposits.

The light that was originally around Zhu Xiongying's body had dissipated, and in the big cave, Zhu Xiongying was cross-kneeled in mid-air, his sword eyebrows were slightly wrinkled, he took a deep breath, and closed his eyes again.

He decided that instead of being distracted by other things at this qualifying time, he would concentrate on shaping the new world in his body first, so that he could end the retreat earlier.

At present, the situation in the entire territory of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Xiongying's divine sense has already seen it clearly.

Indeed, by all accounts, the current problem is terrible.

But it's not a big problem to stick to it for two days.

And Zhu Xiongying only wants these two days, which is enough.

………………

The eighth of May, the first morning.

Jiayuguan, with the military order of Timur's lame man to take Jiayuguan at all costs, the coach Heita also fell into a state of madness.

After all, according to the order of the lame, if this Jiayuguan can't be taken on the eighth day, then all of it will have to be diluted, and his own head will have to be cut off.

Other things can be touched.

But this is a matter of life, and you can't be sloppy at all, so you naturally have to work hard.

Therefore, under the madness of the Black Tower, the army of millions of Timur also rushed forward like crazy.

Of course, there are also some strange powers in this, and the army of millions of Timur is the same as the previous vanguard army, as if it has opened an energy plug-in.

Above the city gate.

Geng Bingwen looked at the Mengxing army, frowned, and said in a condensed voice.

"Our army can't hold on."

When Zhu Ao next to him heard this, his face suddenly changed.

Even Geng Bingwen said that he couldn't hold it, so naturally he couldn't hold it.

"Old general, since Lan Yu is almost here, we ......"

Zhu Ao thought of Lan Yu, who was already on the way, and couldn't help but tentatively exit, hoping to get back some opportunities.

"Don't wait, if you come, you will die."

"Your Highness, please send a letter to Lan Yufei immediately, so that he doesn't have to rush to Jiayu Pass, take a detour outside the pass, wait for the opportunity, and give him the location of the nearest granary, so that he can replenish the military rations."

Geng Bingwen made a decision immediately.

The battlefield, that's it.

When it is broken, it is broken, and if it is hesitant, it is chaotic.

Although Zhu Ao was very unwilling in his heart, after all, as long as Jiayuguan was lost, Sudi would basically be finished, and Sudi was his fiefdom, no different from losing his hometown.

But gritting his teeth, in the face of the current situation, he could only nod.

"According to the retreat plan drawn up earlier, His Royal Highness and His Royal Highness King Qing will retreat with the elite first, and my Highness will be behind."

Geng Bingwen said in a condensed voice, in this tone, there was already the intention of going to death.

"Old General."

Zhu Ao just wanted to speak, but was stopped by Geng Bingwen raising his hand.

With his experience, he was naturally able to judge the current situation, and Jiayuguan had no power to return to heaven.

"Your Highness doesn't need to say much, let's start now."

Geng Bingwen did not have the slightest fear in his eyes, he was nearly seventy years old, and he had already seen the battlefield all his life.

Moreover, to put it in my heart, he came to the queen of the palace, which was also something that could not be chosen.

On this Jiayu Pass, Zhu Ao and Zhu Chang are both princes, and they are both the sons of Lao Zhu, so it is naturally impossible for the two of them to come to the palace.

Moreover, after the defenders of Jiayuguan retreated into the second line of defense, it was equivalent to merging into Zhu Di's defense army, and with Zhu Di in charge of the army, his own usefulness was not particularly great.

Because the second line of defense is a long-term defense of the border, not a battle of defending the city one city and one pass.

At this point, Geng Bingwen thinks that he is inferior to Zhu Di.

In this case, it is better to take advantage of the fact that he is still a little useful, give full play to the residual heat, and block the million-strong army of Timur after the palace, and create a smoother withdrawal environment for Zhu Hao and Zhu Chang.

To preserve the strength of the defenders of Jiayu Pass to the greatest extent, it is also to strengthen the second line of defense from a different angle, which is also the last force of his own contribution to the Ming Dynasty.

"Yes!"

Zhu Ao's eyes were red.

He worked with Geng Bingwen for several years and admired the veteran general.

took two steps back, saluted respectfully to Geng Bingwen, and resolutely turned to leave.

Military orders are like mountains.

As the order to withdraw was handed down, it was only a stick of incense time, and it could be seen that the elite forces on this Jiayu Pass quickly withdrew at a speed visible to the naked eye, and Zhu Ao and Zhu Chang quickly withdrew with an army of 130,000, leaving only 40,000 lightly and seriously injured to follow Geng Bingwen.

Heita, the commander of Timur's army outside the pass, could naturally feel the decline of the city defense of Jiayuguan.

Take advantage of your illness to kill you.

This is the immutable law on the battlefield, and Heita became ecstatic, and immediately gave the order, and the offensive of Timur's army increased again.

It can be clearly seen that with the indiscriminate bombardment of Timur's army, the walls of Jiayuguan were shattered, and even the walls began to collapse.

This scene all fell in Geng Bingwen's eyes.

"General."

Geng Bingwen's confidant deputy general is also a subordinate who has followed him for decades, and Zhang Huai, who is also over sixty years old.

At this time, Zhang Huai stood beside Geng Bingwen and calmly looked at the scene outside the gate.

"Old brother, I'm sorry for you, you shouldn't have come with me, with your battle wounds, even if you are in the heavens, the Lord will not blame."

Geng Bingwen had guilt in his eyes and couldn't help sighing.

"Hahahaha..."

Zhang Huai laughed.

"What did the general say, if there was no general back then, how could there be Zhang Huai today."

"What's more, I Zhang Huai has all my sons and daughters, and there are successors to my children and grandchildren, and I have nothing to worry about in this world, and it is enough to be able to die on the battlefield and serve the country in this ancient year."

After speaking, Zhang Huai turned around and went down the city pass with a knife.

has been able to follow Geng Bingwen for so many years, and Zhang Huai is naturally not an ordinary general.

He knew Geng Bingwen's intentions.

With the current offensive, if you blindly defend, it is better to choose to go out of the city directly to attack and kill, which can surprise the enemy army, make the palace longer, and let Zhu Hao and Zhu Chang lead the army to retreat farther.

Geng Bingwen took a deep breath and looked to the south.

Respectfully knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times.

When he stood up again, there was only cold murderous intent in his eyes.

"Pass my command, open the city gates, and fight to the death."

………………

It is fifty miles away from Jiayuguan.

Fifty miles, at the speed of a light horseman, that is, a matter of an hour or two.

Lan Yu led the army to gallop, and suddenly there was a goshawk hovering in the sky, as if it recognized something, and then fell straight towards Lan Yu in front of him.

Suddenly, he grabbed the reins of the horse.

Lan Yu raised his hand and told the whole army to stop.

Raising his hand, he let the goshawk land on his arm, his brow furrowed.

These goshawks that spread messages in various armies have unique signs, this one is obviously from Jiayuguan, and there must be great variables in sending messages to themselves at this time.

Sapphire quickly untied the creed from the eagle's leg and opened it to look at it, her brow furrowed for a moment.

"Father-in-law, what's wrong?"

When the righteous sons next to them saw this goshawk, especially after seeing Lan Yu read the news, their brows were furrowed, and they couldn't help but ask out loud.

They finally got out of the predicament, and they were all holding their anger in their hearts, eager to immediately vent their anger with the heads of Timur's army.

After reading it, Lan Yu let out a long sigh and rolled up the creed.

"Jiayuguan, it's gone."

As soon as these words came out, the faces of the righteous sons changed suddenly.

The goal of their light cavalry army was to surprise Timur's army and form a flank attack with the defenders in Jiayu Pass.

Now that Jiayuguan is gone, there is a surprise fart, not to mention any front and back attacks, if you go, you will be beaten by meat buns, and there will be no return.

"The whole army turned, southeast side, one hundred and fifty miles, clear the grain granary."

Lan Yu said in a condensed voice.

Le turned the horse's head and galloped first.

The righteous sons didn't understand what Lan Yu meant by this, but when they heard the 'granary', they all followed without hesitation.

You must know that their army has run out of food, no matter what the future battle plan is, replenishing military food is the first point, otherwise even the army will not be able to maintain.

Lan Yu, who was galloping wildly, glanced at the back, which was also the direction of Jiayuguan, and there was a sigh in his eyes that he was also a famous general.

Geng Bingwen. ’

Lan Yu knew in her heart.

Jiayuguan is gone.

Geng Bingwen is gone.

'Death in this battle is not a disgrace to your reputation. ’

'All the way, easy to go. ’

Lan Yu retracted his gaze and rode his horse with all his might, followed by an army of 300,000 troops.
