After all the men and horses of the 'Ning'an Kingdom built the 10,000-mile barrier wall, Yuan Mengyun was left to lead a 10,000-person war department to stay in defense, Ge Qingyang, Ye Pinggui and Lu Tongxiao each led a 10,000-person war department to advance in the north, east and south directions, and Yang Ning followed Lu Tongxiao's army to the south.

With their lowest cultivation being at the realm of medium honor, the speed of their march was very fast, and they advanced 500,000 miles in a month.

According to the report of the spies of the Aung Zang Division, there is a small city on the border of the Red Gold Holy Dynasty: Tieyuan City, which is located at the very edge of the Red Gold Holy Dynasty, and is located on the road that Yang Ning and they plan to pass through to the south.

This small city is about a thousand miles in circumference, only a thousand miles away from the cliff edge of the coffin hell, built next to the foot of the nearby mountains, with a population of more than 300,000 and a city garrison of 5,000, of which 500 are Venerables, and the rest are spiritual cultivators; The city is not big, and the city walls are not high, only three zhang.

It is said that a long time ago, there was no such small town here. I don't know that since that year, some monks discovered that the mountains near the small city may have been eroded by the aura of the hanging coffin hell in some places, and occasionally some mutated spirit plants and different grasses will be produced, which have strange functions, but attracted some monks looking for special-purpose spirit grass to come and adventure.

Although there were few strains to be found over the years, the monks who came here built simple dwellings near the mountains to make it easier for them to settle down, and over time, the number of houses built increased and gradually became a simple town. The Holy Lord of the Chijin Holy Dynasty heard about it, and also wanted to get some strange medicine strains from it, so he simply sent an army to build a small city directly on the original basis of the town, and he also had a time of glory.

But the wish is really too far from reality, and for thousands of years, a few foreign grasses have not been obtained, and almost all the garrisons sent to this small city have been withdrawn, leaving only a very small number of them to nominally remain behind to search. By now, this small city has lost its original significance, and has become inconspicuous in the Chijin Holy Dynasty, and has even become a place of exile for the officials who have lost power in the Holy Dynasty.

The number of troops in the small city was not worth mentioning in Yang Ning's eyes, and the only thing that was a little troublesome was the city lord of this small city. According to the news, the city lord is a strong man who has cultivated to reach the half-step holy product, and is good at using swords.

"Damn! If only we had a flying treasure or a formation mage, we could take the flying treasure or teleportation array, and we could reach here from the national capital with a 'boom', without having to run on our own feet, and work hard and labor. ”

Squatting in the woods five miles away from the small city, Lu Tongxiao stared at the small town in front of him and complained in a sullen voice.

"Hehe, it's coming, this wish of yours will come true soon. As long as we lay down a large enough territory and control a large number of cities, there will definitely be many excellent array mages in these holy dynasties and imperial dynasties, and at that time, we will be able to establish a teleportation array in the cities that belong to the territory of our dynasty, and we will no longer have to work as hard as we do now. ”

Yang Ning couldn't help but tug at the corners of his mouth when he heard this, this is the essence of a great country, their 'Ning'an Kingdom' has only been established for a few years, there are only tens of thousands of horses, and there are few capable people. However, none of this will be a problem in the future, as long as they are given time to develop, with their strength, they will soon be able to have the same.

"Well, that's true. Our saint-level powerhouses are more than ten, ninth-level venerables are hundreds, and the weakest remaining soldiers have a venerable rank of four or above, although this kind of strong strength is not as strong as one of the sixteen holy dynasties for the time being, but it is definitely stronger than any imperial dynasty, as long as we are not blocked by the holy dynasty, we will definitely be able to establish a powerful dynasty that is only weaker than the current holy dynasty in a short period of time. ”

Regarding the strength of the 'Ning'an Kingdom', Lu Tongxiao is full of confidence.

"Well, now is not the time to talk about that. Let's take down the small city in front of us first. ”

Yang Ning is also full of confidence in 'Ning Anguo', but the rice has to be eaten one bite at a time, and it is impossible to swallow all the rice in one bite. He pointed to the small town five miles away, grinned, and whispered.

"Ha, my lord. What's so hard about taking this small city? Isn't it just 5,000 garrisons, only 500 respects, and the brothers rush up, and it won't be over if they kill it directly, and it won't take a quarter of an hour to get it. ”

Yan Yiguang, a deputy minister in Lu Tongxiao's war department, had a powerful aura surging on his body, and said with some disdain.

"That's it! Lord, the garrison of this small city is so weak, it will not take us too much effort to conquer it. ”

The other Venerables all said that against such a small city with a weak garrison, there was nothing to fear about the strength of their war department.

"Oh, yes, that's right. Attacking with our strength is definitely crushing them, but we can't be so hasty. After all, the city lord here is a half-step sage, and his strength cannot be ignored. We are all brothers who came out of that hellish place together, and I hope that in the future, when we stand on the highest peak of this world, we will all enjoy that glory together. ”

"So, even if you can crush them, you can't take them too lightly. Moreover, this is our first battle, and we have to fight beautifully! ”

Although they have an absolute advantage in strength, attacking the city will inevitably be resisted, and Yang would rather not want his brothers to suffer unexpected casualties.

"I'll arrange for that half-step sage to be solved by me, Yan Yiguang and Zhang Mingxuan, the two deputy ministers, Xiao Jianshu and Huang Shansong, each leading two thousand brothers to suppress the garrison of the small city, and Minister Lu Tongxiao and Vice Minister Ouyang Hai leading the remaining six thousand brothers to quickly control the city."

"In the evening, all the brothers crossed the wall and entered the city, and Minister Lu and Vice Minister Ouyang led six thousand brothers to quickly take control of the city; The two deputy ministers Xiao and Huang suppressed the city defense garrison; I'm and Yan. The two deputy ministers of Zhang intercepted the city lord, a half-saint powerhouse. Now everyone rests and waits until it gets dark to move together. ”

"Well, that, the lord of the country. We have no problem with your arrangement. However, I hope that the operatives will be adjusted, the four deputy ministers of Yan, Zhang, Xiao, and Huang will stop the half-holy city lord, and I and Vice Minister Ouyang will suppress the city defense garrison, and you will lead 6,000 brothers to control the city, I think this arrangement is more secure, you are the lord of our 'Ning'an country', you can't be in danger, you can't afford to lose. ”

After listening to Yang Ning's arrangement, Lu Tongxiao almost jumped up, and hurriedly spoke out against Yang Ning's personnel arrangement.

"Yes, yes...... You are the head of a country, you can't take risks easily, and the matter of charging and fighting must be entrusted to our war department, and you can't take risks. ”

All the ministers echoed and opposed Yang Ning's arrangement. How can it be said that Yang Ning is also the lord of the country, they are courtiers, how can they let the lord of the country fight against the strongest of the enemy? In this way, it not only shows that he is not loyal enough, but also shows that he is incompetent.

"Well, you don't need to persuade more. A few of you should also know my strength, although I am only at the eighth level, but the real strength, each of you is not my opponent. To deal with the enemy, we must use absolute strength to suppress him in one fell swoop, and never let him have a chance to breathe. Besides, don't I still have Xiao Jin with me, it's decided. ”

In the year of the founding of the country, Yang Ning's cultivation also broke through the eighth level of the supreme product, and his strength was much stronger than when he was in the hanging coffin hell, and he had never lost a game when he fought with most ninth-level venerables. The five ninth-level Venerables present had also competed, and none of them could complete twenty moves under Yang Ning.

Hearing Yang Ning's words, everyone was silent, and what they said was the truth!

After three hours, night began to fall slowly. It seems that God is also helping Yang Ning and them today, there is no bright moonlight rising, and even the stars seem to know that there will be blood light tonight, and they all hide in the dark night sky, without revealing half of their flickering faces.

'Bang la la'

The slightly cool night breeze blows, and the leaves and branches of the trees in the mountains rustle softly.

"Action! Remember, everyone! We must pay attention to safety, never be careless, and use absolute strength to crush them as quickly as possible. ”

Late at night, the lights in the town were dim, and people were already falling asleep. Yang Ning gave an order, and 10,000 horses quietly touched the wall of the small city.

"Squeak, squeak......"

The night was silent, except for the chirping of nocturnal insects, muffled by the sound of 10,000 horses trampling on the ground and leaves, and the occasional roar or two of beasts from the mountains.
