Three days passed slowly, into the night.

Thirty miles away from Fengyu City, the wind was howling, blowing the vast weeds, and in the depths of the night, the stars were dim, and it was the time when everyone fell asleep and was most sleepy.

Suddenly, the earth trembled, and a dense sound of horses' hooves under the starry night suddenly came from a distance.

With the help of the dim starlight, tens of thousands of iron horsemen could be seen in the darkness, all dressed in black armor, with indifferent eyes.

"Soldiers obey orders!"

A loud shout came, at the front of all the iron horses, a divine horse was as black as ink, the limbs and hooves were like blood, and it was Xia Zhigao on the horseback, I saw him raise an arm, and his whole body exuded waves of mountains and sea-like breath, within a radius of dozens of zhang, even the void was twisted.

His gaze looked ahead, and his expression was extremely cold:

"In front of us is Fengyu City, the last main city of the Fengzhou Alliance, our task is to harass Fengyu City, and prevent them from sending troops to support Fengjing and Fengchao, so let's play with them tonight."

A loud voice echoed through the cavalry corps that was running at breakneck speed.

"Yes!"

The wind and grass were blowing, and everyone responded in unison, uniformly, and the momentum was terrifying.

The Black Jiao Legion, 60,000 Black Jiao cavalry, the strongest cavalry corps under the command of King Ming, commanded by Xia Zhigao.

In three days, King Ming had already led a large army to approach the three border cities.

The Fengzhou Alliance arranged the final defense in the three border cities, the right city of Fengjing City was guarded by the deputy alliance leader He Mingchang and several small and medium-sized forces led by a 120,000 army, and the left city of Fengchao City was guarded by the two top forces of the Fengzhou Alliance, Shenglong Villa and the Huo family, a total of 120,000 troops.

The central city of Feng Yucheng was guarded by Shi Lifeng and Luo Jinyao, the two lords of the top forces, with a total of 140,000 troops.

Fengyu City, although it is late at night, but the fire on the wide and oversized city wall is blazing, thousands of bonfires illuminate the sky into a day, around the bonfire, thousands of farmers and craftsmen are busy on the city wall, do a good job of defense.

"Be careful, don't make a mistake."

"Get out of the way, get ready to fill the iron!"

"Formation group, check the defense formation again!"

"Craftsmen assemble quickly!"

"Hurry up!"

…………

The generals walked around the city walls, issuing orders one after another, and from time to time they looked into the distance, their eyes showing a hint of anxiety.

They didn't know why the top echelons of the alliance were hiding in Fengyu City to defend, but they knew that the arrival of the Ming army would not be far away, and they had to do a good job of defense as soon as possible.

On the tall building of the city gate, all the soldiers surrounded a Confucian general in the center and looked at the night sky in the distance alone, and for some reason there was an inexplicable sense of solemnity in his heart.

This feeling is very familiar, and it will be felt every time you are about to meet the Ming army.

Could it be that the Ming army is coming so soon?

His side retreated directly from the thirteen cities of Fengjiang County to the three cities on the border, and it took at least ten days for the Ming army to go from controlling the ten cities of Fengjiang County to here.

The general of the Fengzhou Alliance is named Fan Zhijing, he is the son-in-law of the Shi family, a talented man in the military field, who has always been valued by Shi Lifeng, and has made outstanding contributions in resisting the Ming army, which convinced the entire Fengzhou Alliance.

"Report, General, the 3rd Scout Team and the 7th Scout Team have gone out on patrol and haven't heard from any news!"

At this time, a commander with a serious face hurriedly rushed to Fan Zhijing's side to report.

Fan Zhi's face turned pale, the current Fengyu City is heavily guarded, and the warning range around the city has also advanced several times.

"Where did they lose news?"

"Twenty miles outside the city!" The general said quickly.

"Something is wrong, the third scout team is led by Yu Changjun, he is strong, and he has always been cautious, he shouldn't have come back on time with the news." The adjutant general next to him was also full of solemnity.

"General, shall we send someone out to check on it immediately?" The surrounding generals heard the words and hurriedly suggested.

"Everyone obey the order, immediately alert, enemy attack!" Fan Zhijing did not hesitate at all, and the sound was like a meteorite falling, instantly setting off waves in the sky above Fengyu City.

Swish!

On the Fengyu city wall, tens of thousands of farmers and craftsmen suddenly stopped, and looked nervously at Fan Zhijing on the high-rise building!

"Quick, farmers and craftsmen quickly go down the city wall to dodge!"

When the commanders who were overseeing everywhere heard Fan Zhijing's figure, they instantly reacted and called for them to go down the city tower.

Then the drums shook the sky, the cold horn sounded, and the soldiers under the city tower were awakened, and an elite soldier under the city tower suddenly woke up, in the captain's shout, the vigorous body quickly rushed to the city wall, and the squads advanced in an orderly manner, advancing and retreating in one, there were sword and shield hands, spearmen, and sword soldiers, and the sword and shield hands were pressed in the forefront, and the cloud iron shield was covered with a thick layer of animal skin, and the body was slightly bowed, and the shield was raised high in front of him, and the hands and body were against the shield.

Behind them was a line of pikemen, two long spears of great sharpness peeking out of the gap between their swords and shields, and behind them, rows of archers with arrows in their hands, their bows clenched, ready to fire.

The peasants and craftsmen had already put down their tasks, and one by one they turned pale and hurried towards the city.

One by one, the generals were already standing all over the city walls, skimming the farmers and craftsmen who rushed down, their eyes indifferent.

It's not that they don't want the farmers and craftsmen to continue the defense work, but if the enemy attacks, these people can easily fall into panic, which will lead to chaos on the castle tower, which will have a very bad impact on the army against the enemy.

At this time, the night sky is twinkling, the breeze is gently caressed, and from time to time there is the sound of insects outside the city.

Time passed slowly, the night was getting deeper, the dark night sky was getting colder and colder, and the city walls were silent, except for the surrounding bonfires beating from time to time.

Everyone stared silently at the dark night sky outside the city gates.

"What's going on?"

On the city wall, a flash of white light, Shi Lifeng instantly appeared at the head of the city, and almost at the same time, the wind was howling, and another straight figure also appeared next to him, and Luo Jinyao's bright eyes also looked at Fan Zhijing!

At this time, the drums of Fengyu City shook the sky!

"Alliance leader, Luo family master!"

Seeing the two of them appear, everyone around them lowered their heads and bowed in salute.

"There's no news from the scouts we sent out to patrol!"

Fan Zhi looked into the distance in shock, his expression was solemn, and his brows were furrowed tightly.

Shi Lifeng and Luo Jinyao's faces froze, and they instantly floated to the sky above Fengyu City, and the spiritual consciousness of the Fazun Realm spread wildly.

After a while, they felt an undisguised momentum approaching in the distance!

"This breath?"

Shi Lifeng and Luo Jinyao suddenly opened their eyes,

"It's the Black Jiao Legion!"

"The vanguard army sent by King Ming?"
