In a light that had long overshadowed the stars in the sky, and the entire battlefield under the gate was illuminated like a torch in the daytime, the shaking of such a torch located in the distance was naturally completely drowned, and it was impossible for the soldiers on both sides on the battlefield to see it.

Only Sun Ning, who was at ease and already had doubts in his heart, suddenly caught a glimpse of the strange change in the firelight from a distance, and was even more faintly aware of the hidden problems.

"That's not right...... This is a complicated signal! What did Li Wannian want to do by doing this? Is it to surprise again, or is there another conspiracy......

Thinking of Guan Longjun's completely unreasonable onslaught, Sun Ning suddenly felt that a huge crisis had come down, but for a while, he couldn't grasp where this problem would happen.

Just as he was pondering, scanning left and right, trying to find out what was coming from, something happened suddenly!

At this time, Gao Jinxian, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, turned his head a little tiredly and said to his lieutenant Zhou Qian: "Later, I will transfer five hundred crossbowmen to guard the mountains on both sides, and we must not let the enemy army easily attack under my wall." Otherwise, I'm afraid I won't be able to hold on."

The enemy attacked and killed so fiercely at any cost, which was a situation that the defenders of Guanshang had not expected at all, and the pressure on everyone also increased exponentially, and indeed the whole army reached the critical point of collapse. Therefore, any slight flaw may cause the collapse of the entire defense line.

Zhou Zhen, as a veteran general in the army, has been following and cooperating with Gao Jinxian for five or six years, so he naturally understands the truth, so he nodded solemnly: "The last general understands, let's make arrangements!"

As he spoke, he leaned over with a knife and leaned out slightly.

This was naturally a normal action on the battlefield today, because the passage in front of him could lead directly to the southern ridge, which was exactly where he had to act according to his orders.

For this reason, Gao Jinxian did not doubt him, and took a step forward, made way for him, and let him leave.

But at this moment, just as everyone was paying more attention to the approaching enemy ranks below, the sword light suddenly appeared-

The war knife in Zhou Zhen's hand suddenly swept up, as fast as lightning, and went straight into the back of the unsuspecting Gao Jinxian, and with a pop, it pierced through his armored body, and suddenly came out from the left atrium, and brought out a stream of bright red blood.

Gao Jinxian still wanted to make the next order, but suddenly he felt a chill in his heart, and then a sharp pain hit, and when he looked down, he saw a bloody knife tip coming out of his heart. This made his whole person freeze instantly, and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, and then pain and disbelief.

Finally, a scream was heard, and the man had moved forward decisively.

At this time, the subordinate soldiers next to them suddenly realized that the main general was actually attacked, and everyone quickly turned their heads to see, and a few guards shouted loudly, turned around and pounced.

Everyone couldn't believe that what was happening in front of them was real.

At the moment when the enemy is so fierce and there is no way to take Jia Meng Pass, at the moment when it seems to be the most dangerous, but at the same time it is still as stable as Mount Tai, the main general of his own guard will be assassinated in front of everyone, surrounded by his subordinates?!.

Moreover, the assassin was actually Zhou Qian, a deputy general who has always been admired and loved by the soldiers and has always been known for his stability and reliability? !

At this moment, almost everyone was stunned by the sudden assassination accident, and although some people rushed forward, their movements were also a little slow.

And in the entire Guancheng, there are only two people who react the most quickly in the face of such an astonishing change and are not affected in any way.

One is Sun Ning.

At the moment when he saw the knife piercing Gao Jinxian's body, he turned a corner in his heart and understood everything.

Guan Longjun's sudden loss of reason and strong attack turned out to be paving the way for this thorn.

The torches in the distance just now were waving regularly, and it was obvious that he was giving Zhou Zhen, the dead man hidden in Jia Meng's pass, an order to make a move.

It's really been deliberate for many years, and once you make a move, it's a shock!

In this day and age, any army, no matter where it is, how many troops there are, is the main general

They are the most important presence in the army.

If the commander is safe, even if there are setbacks and failures, the whole army can still maintain considerable discipline and combat effectiveness.

But once the main general really encounters danger, or is killed or wounded, the situation will be completely different, and it is very possible that the army will collapse on the spot in an instant. Even if they still have a Xiongguan like Jia Mengguan to rely on, but the death of a main general, especially a master general who is trusted by military generals, is enough to destroy everything.

Perhaps in ordinary battles, a battlefield veteran like Gao Jinxian will also have a considerable sense of vigilance, even if he is with his robe for many years, he will not completely relax. Because he knows what his life means, and he can't afford to miss a thing.

But today, he has experienced too many ups and downs, and there are many major wars, even if he is as experienced in combat as he is, he is actually physically and mentally exhausted.

Therefore, the defensive heart that should have been put down has long been relaxed, especially when he has been questioned for so many years, especially when there are so many horses around, he can't spare much energy to be wary.

But all this is in Li Wannian's calculations, all the ups and downs, and the continuous attacks after that, are just for this thorn to pave the way!

So, Gao Jinxian died.

was pierced through the heart with a knife, and he didn't even leave a last word, with a strong unwillingness and anger, he died on the spot.

Although Sun Ning had already pounced quickly, it was already too late, and he could only watch as the other party pulled the knife out of the crumbling Gao Jinxian's body, and then raised it again and slashed it hard.

Yes, at this juncture of Jia Meng, in addition to Sun Ning, the other one who still maintained absolute calmness was Zhou Zhen himself, who assassinated.

After he succeeded in stabbing him, he looked at the many pro-soldiers who had been killed, without any fear or dodge, but quickly pulled the knife out of Gao Jinxian's body, and then swung it out, hitting him right in the neck.

Without the slightest hindrance, the long knife slashed into his neck, chopping off Gao Jinxian's entire head.

This single knife cut off all possible miracles.

His head was cut off by him, and unless Gao Jinxian suddenly became a god, he didn't want to be rescued again.

With his death, Zhou Zhi believed that the task given to him by General Li had been completed, and this Jiameng Pass would inevitably be captured by the army.

So he can die.

So he died.

At the same time as cutting off Gao Jinxian's head with a knife, Zhou Zhen was attacked by dozens of people from all directions, and all kinds of weapons went straight into his body, dismembering and shattering his entire person on the spot.

It was only at this time that Sun Ning, who was still some distance away, rushed forward, his face gloomy, as if he wanted to drip water......
