Volume 3, Outside the Mountains Chapter 2, Northwest Wolf Smoke

The cool breeze comes from the west, the sky is high and the clouds are light, the geese fly south, the mountains and forests are dyed, the green leaves are stacked and the green is golden, and the world is an autumn scene.

The early autumn wind in Yong'an is very pleasant, at least the people think so, the green leaves in the city are slightly yellow, the water is getting colder, and the morning fog in Shuiyun Street is getting thicker and thicker, in addition, everything in the city is the same, as if there is nothing new.

For the country, the chronology is like everyone's name, not necessarily loud, but there must be. Since the death of the first emperor and the accession of His Majesty Emperor Yu to the throne, the era name of Dayu has been twenty-three years to this day.

In the autumn of the twenty-third year of Dayu Wude, when the autumn wind fell into the city, Yong'an City had an inconspicuous aura of slaughter out of the city.

There are six god generals in Dayu, and only four of them are really guarded by the town generals. Di Qing, the first god general of Dayu, finally went out of the city in this autumn, and the emperor's henchman, who guarded Yong'an City all the year round, was ordered to go out of the mountain.

All the counties of Dayu moved, and countless horse-drawn carriages began to operate, transporting grain and grass to the northern and western borders. The town troops everywhere also moved quietly, advancing to both sides, and everyone understood that a big war was imminent, and what the two dynasties of Tangling did to Dayu made the emperor of the current dynasty really angry!

.........

To the south of the snow pass, the vast white snow is not inhabited, the weather is unusually cold, the cold winter comes early, the wind and snow are combined, the harvest is extremely poor, I don't know how many people choose to move south within the border of Beiyan, the number of troops this year is not as much as half of previous years, and the number of the most elite snow wolf cavalry in Beiyan is less than one-third of that of previous years.

Whoever looks at it, everything the Northern Yan Kingdom did when the Tang Tombs of the Three Dynasties opened this time was to bring about its own destruction. However, what people didn't expect was that Beiyan would be the first of the three dynasties to take the initiative to attack.

His Majesty Emperor Yu obviously had a premonition of this, so the first god of Dayu will come to Xueyong Pass, and the Zhenbei army has already assembled in the pass, and countless divine crossbows and arrows are on the string, ready to go out of the city at any time, all the way to the north!

However, it was too late to do so.

Tens of thousands of snow wolf riders had already come to the frozen soil south of Beiyan before the trip to Tangling began, and at this time they were hidden in the snowfield outside the snow pass, ready to fight for their lives at any time. Thousands of huge catapults, driven by cultivators, had also reached the front line at the end of summer, hiding in the wind and snow miles away just waiting for an order.

In the vast expanse of the northern tundra, there was not a single person in sight, not even a different color. But who would have thought that in these tens of thousands of miles of white, there were already endless killing opportunities hidden.

Before Da Yu's army came out of Xueyong Pass, it was already trapped in it, and it could only be defensive. However, from the generals to the soldiers, none of them were afraid or even worried, because they knew that Beiyan was fighting for his life with the strength of the whole country, and it was only time for the army to go all the way to the north!

Above the city, a young general who had been in armor for many years stood on the left side, holding the hilt of the iron sword lightly in his right hand, and his face was grim. On the right, there is also a middle-aged general in black armor, whose weather-beaten face is full of indifference. And these two generals are the highest-level commanders of Xue Yongguan - Gu Qingyang, one of the Martial Saint's great disciples, Wu Bin! And now the first god of Dayu will be Di Qing!

The two of them stood on either side of the city, staring coldly into the distance, and the next moment, a trumpet sounded from the wind and snow.

The sound of countless heavy objects breaking through the sky was heard immediately, and the wind and snow danced!

The siege was over.

........

Xiliang County, the most western state and county in Dayu. It's not famous, because for hundreds of years, there haven't been any heroes born here. But it's also famous, because there is a family here - the Chen family!

From the Tang Dynasty to the present, after nearly a thousand years, the Chen family has always been the richest one in the mainland, no one has specifically counted what kind of number it is, only know that it can be perfectly described in four words, rich and rivaling the country!

With the establishment of the Dayu Dynasty, the status of Xiliang County suddenly became special and became the border of Dayu. Whether it is the military stationing or the taxation and civil affairs, they all enjoy the best treatment. Of course, the people here are also nervous all the time, nervous about the departure from the West that may come at any time.

Judging from the map, the current Xiliang County is like a broadsword. Xifengcheng is on the hilt of the knife, Huaiyang is on the edge of the knife, and the blade of the knife is the majestic Helan Mountains.

The knife fell in the northwest, where there is an endless grassland, and it is also the territory of the west.

Of course, among the thousands of miles of the Xifeng Great Plain in Xiliang County, except for more than ten military villages and two military offices, the rest are the vast Gobi Desert, which is very desolate. Of course, this is a sparsely populated place, and since the Tang Dynasty changed to Dayu, hundreds of miles of grassland outside Helan Mountain have been ceded to Xili, and this has become the first battlefield in the future!

But no matter what the situation is, west of Helan Mountain and outside Huaiyang Pass will always be a place of right and wrong, a place where soldiers must fight, but it is also a place where it is extremely difficult to distinguish between victory and defeat.

No matter how active Xili is, he must set up a house in the grassland that stretches for hundreds of miles, and then attack towards Helan Mountain, Huaiyang Pass and Yuanwei City are the passes that must be broken. Otherwise, they would have to bypass the Helan Mountains and make a long journey from the far northwest of Beiliao, which is already close to the far north of the snowfields, and is also guarded.

Dayu wants to raise troops to fight Liyang, and will encounter the same problem, Huaiyang Pass is like a relative gourd mouth, and it is also like a natural Great Wall, blocking the dispute between the two countries.

This is also why, in the case of national turmoil in the Tang Dynasty, Xili still could not raise troops to the south, Chen Cheng, the first general of the Tang Dynasty at that time, was in the case of no help behind him, carrying the grassland cavalry, although he finally died under the planning of the national teacher Guang'an Zhenren in Xili, but still guarded the country!

Today's Bad Yang Pass is very special, because he is not a famous general of the previous dynasty or one of the six god generals of Dayu, but the current prince of Dayu, Fang Ang.

It has been a hundred years since the founding of Dayu, and His Majesty the Emperor has ascended the throne and established a new era name, and it has been twenty-three years, Dayu has no prince, and the emperor only has two children. The second prince did not practice since he was a child, so he studied in the palace. The eldest prince Fang Ang has been on the frontier since he was sixteen, and now he is just twenty-two years old, and he has been training in Huaiyang Pass for six years.

Outside the wind pass, it is already deep in autumn, a month after Beiyan took the initiative to attack the snow pass, the situation here has become more tense, and bloody, the grassland where there is no human figure for hundreds of miles in the past is full of smoke and dust, and the incalculable cavalry is rushing to kill each other, and there are countless strange birds of prey in the distant sky confronting each other at high altitude, like a heavenly punishment.

In the earth-shattering shouts of killing, the cavalry of the two sides collided like a torrent, and the blood and air waves splashed like countless flowers, and in a short period of time, countless Xili iron cavalry fell and died, and the same Xili grassland cavalry was also injured by the formation set up in the grassland, and turned into countless blood clots in a blink of an eye.

Even if they have different positions, the blood of Dayu and Xili is the same red, and the blood of human beings sprinkled on the cyan grassland gradually becomes extremely distinct. Then as more and more creatures died, the stark became thicker, the reds turned black, and the corpses were stacked on top of each other, whether magnificent or ugly, and they could not be separated.

The dead cannot be separated, and even more so the living. The armies of both sides went from colliding together, then merging, and could no longer distinguish each other, turning into a black wave. The cyan color is gone, the vast grassland is completely covered, and in such a dense and high-intensity fierce battlefield, there are few flashes of light, and then a fierce explosion occurs.

It was the effect of the spell, the Dao, and the magic weapon, and from time to time a cultivator would rise up to the sky, making a gap in the black wave, and then it would be covered in an instant, and it could no longer be seen.

What can be seen are the waves in the higher heavens, which are the means of the pure contemplation practitioner. Every turbulent wave that rises and then turns into countless pure rays of light, like a rain of streamers falling into the world, is a sign that the true qi of cultivation has dissipated and re-transformed into the qi of heaven and earth, that is, the sign of the death of a strong person with pure contemplation.

War is not fought by individual cultivators, but by the strength and strategy of the army, even if at this time the people in the Dayu Qingyun List are all together or the strong people from the west are joining the rivers and lakes, these have no meaning for the war, unless at this time there can be a human Mahayana who has entered the realm of freedom, exerts his magical powers in the rear of the enemy, and then exposes himself to death, or there is a chance to reverse the battlefield.

However, this reversal is impossible, if it is really that simple, then there will be no chaos in which Datang loses its deer and the heroes, and then the heroes compete for the deer.

War is fair, and its victory depends on everyone on the battlefield, and of course the meaning of the existence of people here is different. Among them, the general is not only the one who kills the most, but also the one who can drive the atmosphere the most, or the one who concentrates the military spirit.

For example, at this time, outside the Bad Yang Pass, the man who kept wielding his sword in the alternation of cavalry, as long as he was on the battlefield and kept killing the enemy, no matter how tragic Dayu's army was, he would not retreat, and his fighting spirit would only become higher and higher.

The problem is that the soldiers who are impacting on the battlefield, whether it is Dayu's army or Liyang's army, are moving closer to him like a trend, one side wants to protect, and the other side wants to kill, so the center of this battle rises with people, and there are constantly people on the way to death.

The reason why this man was taken care of by both sides was naturally not because of how strong his cultivation was, but because of his identity, the prince of the Dayu Dynasty went down the city wall to kill the enemy personally.

The people of the royal family, no matter where they are, are extremely important, because they are likely to be the next king of the country. In the turmoil of the Central Continent in the past, there are many people from the royal family who led the army to kill the enemy. The most recent is the current emperor of Dayu, who was the vanguard general in the rebel army.

The most important thing is the easiest to die, and these royal family members, who can survive the battlefield, are even more rare!; Of course, he is the most important person in the army, and he is also the one who wants to kill the most in the opposing army.

Fang Ang kept slashing and slashing in the crowd, not stinging with the true qi in his body, and the broadsword in his hand sprinkled into the crowd like a streamer. There are many perverted characters in the Qingyun list set by the peep people, and Fang Ang is not in it, but he has the strength to enter it. In the spring of this year, before the three major lists were changed, he meditated on the head of the Bad Yang Pass for seven days, stepping into the realm of pure contemplation.

There was a tall woman in black armor who had stayed at Fang Ang's side only a hundred meters away, her long hair was tied, her eyebrows and eyes were full of heroic energy, and the aura exuding from her body was sharp and restrained, like a long sword hidden deep in its sheath.

She is not a general, but she is also one of the guards of Huaiyang Pass, and she has been guarding for longer than the eldest prince Fang Ang, she is half of Fang Ang's master but she is not much older than him, her name is Guan Yue. The personal disciple of the Great Yu Martial Saint, one of the Seven Bin of Wenwu canonized by His Majesty Emperor Yu, and the only woman among the four martial arts of the Yew Academy.

A Xili general crushed the grassland under his feet, jumped up, and instantly crossed the cavalry torrent on both sides, turning into a huge meteor and falling straight down on Fang Ang.

This general didn't know where the tribe of Liyang came from, his muscles were black and black, like steel, he held a huge mountain axe in his hand, and when he tried his best to chop down, even the surrounding air made a rumbling sound, it was the sound of compressed air and then shattering!

The guards who had been guarding Fang Ang's surroundings for a hundred meters were all shocked, this person's strength was extraordinary, this blow falling from the sky should have the strength of the Pure View Upper Realm, even Guan Yue couldn't help frowning slightly, and was ready to make a move for a while.

Fang Ang laughed, then jumped up in vain with his feet on the horse's back, and greeted him with a knife!

"Don't move anyone, this prince wants to try it himself, is this Xili Pure View Upper Realm in vain!"

The sky was filled with a scorching light, as if the sun had risen at noon, and there was a hidden sword intent.

The knife and the axe came together in mid-air!

The sword is the surging air wave, and the separation is the rumbling sound!

Fang Ang spurted out a mouthful of blood and flew upside down, and the sword intent that was unloaded in an instant was like a rain of light falling on the battlefield. The general who had left the west shattered his armor in an instant, and his black and iron-like muscles suddenly lost all their luster, falling into the crowd like a dull boulder. In an instant, it was completely submerged by the iron horses of both sides, and there was not much life.

This is to die, but also to fight!

In war, there are many such dead guests, and the value of life and life is never the same.

A general had already caught Fang Ang from mid-air, and then returned to the top of the city under the escort of many guards.

Guan Yue checked the injuries on Fang Ang's body and said expressionlessly, "It doesn't have to be like this. ”

There are two meanings of this sentence, one is Fang Ang and the other is the battlefield.

Fang Ang smiled: "If it weren't for that, how could it be exchanged for the life of one of the thirty-six people." ”

There are thirty-six secret generals in Xili, among these people are generals, actors, literati, prostitutes, temples and rivers and lakes, mountains and mountains, distant places and battlefields, no one knows who they are, but they all know that the origins of these people are from the famous national teacher in Xili, Guang'an Zhenren.

Guan Yue's face remained the same, but there was a little more disappointment in his tone, and he said: "Compare your own life with those dead soldiers, how can you become the king of a country like this." ”

Fang Ang suddenly stretched out his hand, wanting to grab the other party, but was repressed by Guan Yue's eyes, he said helplessly: "How can the king of a country have the pleasure of killing the enemy on the battlefield, I will be bored to death when dealing with those literati and ministers all day long, I am not my father, I have a way to govern the country!" I just like to stay here and gallop on the battlefield and be a happy prince. ”

Guan Yue didn't say anything more, turned around and chose to leave.

On the battlefield in the distance, the fight is still there!
