The seventh day of the winter month of the twenty-third year of Zhaohua.

Early morning.

Yudan River Plain, sunny.

There is mist.

At the end of the border, the newly appointed general of the border guarded by Kuo, wearing a bright armor and a broadsword hanging from his waist, began a routine patrol under the protection of a group of guards.

Standing on top of the high wall, he put his right hand on the hilt of the sword and supported the wall with his left hand.

He glanced at the Yudan River Plain under the mist with great seriousness, and said to the left and right lieutenants beside him:

"Before leaving, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said something serious to General Ben in the study of the East Palace."

He raised his left hand and pointed to the bottom with a stroke, "The Yudan River Plain is a treasure land!" ”

"It has a vast territory and fertile land, compared to our Shimohara state...... Worse than! ”

"Your Highness said, I hope that General Ben can clean up the border army, not only to defend this endless pass, but also to train all the soldiers of the Seven Cities Walled City more strictly!"

"Next autumn, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will ascend the throne as emperor!"

He pointed to the Yudan River Plain in the mist, "Your Highness hopes that General Ben can seize this large piece of land and send it to the enthronement ceremony in the form of good news on the day of his accession to the throne!" ”

"Add a strong touch to His Highness's enthronement ceremony!"

He turned his head to look at the soldiers behind him, and his voice became a little higher-pitched:

"Ladies and gentlemen, you are all the henchmen of General Ben brought from Kyoto, and you are all the most trustworthy and sharpest knives in General Ben's hands!"

"General Ben has completed the replacement of the seven generals of the Seven Cities...... They are all fierce generals transferred from the Condor Army by their father! ”

"It's a pity that Xia Li's horseman neglected the training of soldiers, the cavalry did not have the skills that cavalry should have, and the infantry did not have the formation that infantry should have......"

"Compared to the Condor Army, the soldiers of these seven cities are simply a group of rice buckets!"

"Fortunately, His Highness was aware of everything and made adjustments in time, otherwise, it would have relied on their combat effectiveness...... Maybe one day, this endless pass will fall into the hands of Ning Jun again, and even Xia Yuanzhou will not be spared! ”

"Now, the seven generals are retraining those soldiers according to the training method of the Condor Army, and they will be able to form a strong combat effectiveness in about half a year."

"By then...... Next summer,"

Gou Kuo put his eyes into the vast Yudan River Plain, his waist was straight, and his square face was filled with a look of excitement:

"This great general, he will personally command 100,000 soldiers, and he will go out of the endless pass...... Seize the Yudan River Plain and give His Royal Highness the crown prince the best gift to the throne! ”

The soldiers behind him were greatly encouraged, and thunderous applause suddenly rang out.

They all looked excited, because this was a great achievement in opening up the territory!

But at this moment, with a frown between his eyebrows, he stretched out his left hand again, pointing in the direction of the Red Flame Army's camp.

"What's that?"

Even in the mist, it was vaguely visible that the Red Flame Army camp was not as quiet as before.

Not only are there a lot of people moving, but there are also a lot of tall things that don't know what is moving!

Chen Zhongzhong, the left deputy general of the garrison, touched the tuft of short beard, looked at it for a moment, and said very seriously:

"General, could it be that the Red Flame Army has been fruitless for a long time, and seeing that the heavy snow is coming, they are going to withdraw the camp to the Yudan River?"

Zhang Shiqiang, the right deputy general of the garrison, also said at this moment:

"General, Ningguo's national strength is weak, and it is so deadlocked, I think that the food and grass of the Red Flame Army are almost cut off."

"Ning Guo pinned his hopes on the regent Li Chen'an, Li Chen'an's death on the top of the West Mountain, which had already hit the Red Flame Army, so the Red Flame Army had not launched an attack these days."

Now it is rumored that Li Chenan faked his death, and he went to the forgetfulness platform of the Sword Washing Building...... I think the news also spread to the Red Flame Army. ”

"Wu Mian and Yan Jinong must know that there is no entry and exit in the place of Forgetfulness Terrace, so Li Chenan will not be able to come out again in this life, this is no different from real death."

"Therefore, the last general thinks that they no longer have the will to fight, and it is good to retreat to the front line of the Yudan River, but if they don't get it right, they will directly abandon the entire Annam Province!"

Chen Zhongzhong, the deputy general of the left, nodded and looked at Goukuo, "General, it is better to take advantage of his illness to kill him!" ”

He slammed his fist on the wall, "Let's go out of the endless level and beat the water dogs, how about it?" ”

Hooking his heart was about to move, but he still pushed the thought back.

"The cavalry of the Seven Cities, which were originally stationed in the wall, have returned to the Seven Walls for new training, and we only have more than 50,000 soldiers guarding the gates...... It was not appropriate to get out of the customs, because the Red Flame Army had the big killer fireworks in their hands. ”

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that the Ministry of Industry is going all out to study the manufacturing process of fireworks, and once the research is successful, it will be the first to supply us."

"Don't worry, the credit is there!"

"General Ben wants to use the least cost to get the greatest credit."

"Ignore it, go, patrol the wall!"

He was about to turn around and leave, when his eyes swept under the wall.

The foot he had stepped out of was retracted.

There was a look of surprise on his boxy face.

Because the Red Flame Army in the distance did not retreat, but pushed the tall gadget and was coming towards this wall!

The wall is on top of the mountain.

The Red Flame Army is on the hillside.

It looked huge, so it was slow to move upwards.

But in the sight of Gou Kuo and the others, many soldiers appeared on the mountainside!

Not a soldier of the Red Flame Army!

Because their flag is not the bright red of the Red Flame Army, but ...... Black!

"Divine Guard!"

Gou Kuo turned his head to look at Zhang Shiqiang, the right deputy general, and frowned and asked, "Didn't you say that the 50,000 Divine Guards had already left the Yudan River and returned to Shuzhou?" ”

Zhang Shiqiang was also stunned.

He hurriedly bowed his hand: "General, this information is said by Xia Li's former scout...... Said that the Divine Guard had left more than three months ago, and we were still in Kyoto at that time, and we had only been here for about half a month......"

Hooked his cheeks and drummed out, "Xia Li, the dog said, this is Lao Tzu!" ”

"Fate...... All ministries are on alert! ”

"Fate...... Quickly send people to the Seven Cities, the enemy army is overwhelming, and there is no end to need support! ”

"Burn wolf smoke! Get ready for battle! ”

With the sound of a horn, the wall of the endless pass suddenly became busy.

Straight wolf smoke rose from the beacon towers everywhere, and the endless pass, which had been calm for half a year, once again sounded the earth-shattering war drums.

The rear of the Red Flame Army.

A huge field first aid camp was set up here.

The camp was filled with a lot of medicinal herbs.

There were also many recruited Lang Zhong from the Yudan City Medical Hall in the camp, who were busy preparing healing ointments according to the recipe written by Xiao Wu.

Xiao Wu and the others came to the outside of the camp at this moment, and they all looked at the wolf smoke in the distance, and also looked at the catapults that were slowly moving upward.

Wang Zhenghaoxuan was surprised by the weirdness of that thing, and couldn't help but turn his head and ask his father:

"The enemy knows what we're doing, can this thing be useful?"

Wang Zheng Jinzhong glared at him: "You know a fart!" ”

"This is not a sneak attack!"

"This is to blow up the boundless pass with dignity!"

"Let Wu Jun see the beauty of this firework!"

Xiao Wu looked at the Divine Guards on both wings.

There was a hint of doubt in his clean eyes!
