"Your Majesty, this ......" Jin Shan reined in his horse's belly, and when he saw the burning town in front of him, his face couldn't help but change greatly.

If the foothills are lost again, then they will lose three cities in a row.

And going to Lucheng is an extremely important capital, easy to defend and difficult to attack, if even Lucheng is lost, the enemy army can go directly to their hinterland.

If you want to break through to the imperial city in one fell swoop, it is only a matter of time.

So no matter what, Lucheng must not be lost.

Twilight Han naturally saw the sky-high firelight, and the tyrant's face gradually became gloomy, and his dark eyes burst out with fierce color.

"Pass the order, go full speed, and be sure to reach Lucheng before dark."

"Yes!!"

Nuo Bao poked out his little head and saw that the fire in the distance had almost dyed half of the sky orange, and the little guy couldn't help frowning.

These soldiers of the Northern Underworld are so bad that if they can't beat them, they will set fire to the city, it's really too much!!

The little guy clenched his fists in exasperation.

As long as the thought of the people of Lucheng might be struggling in the fire, the little guy was so angry that he wanted to destroy all those people in the Northern Underworld.

And at this moment, in the foothills.

The gates were closed, and only a few soldiers were struggling to hold on to the gates, and the army below had already pressed in front of them, throwing fireballs wrapped in raging flames into the city like hailstones.

"General, there are not many of our people left, and if we continue like this, the people in the city will be burned alive, let's vote!" A lieutenant with a broken arm said in a choked voice with red eyes.

These people of the Northern Netherworld are insidious and cunning, and all kinds of insidious methods emerge one after another.

Not to mention that their soldiers can't be killed at all, and even if they are killed, they will immediately get up from the ground and continue to fight, just like monsters, they can't be killed at all, they can't be killed.

Even the comrades-in-arms around them, who had just spilled blood on the battlefield one second, stood up and waved their knives at them the next second.

In this case, how can they win?

Even Twilight, known as the god of war, has disappeared, maybe ...... long ago

"No! Can't vote! Those Northern Underworld people are cruel and unkind, even if they surrender, they will not let us go, have you all forgotten the tragic situation of the last city? Although Luo Pingwei is over half a hundred years old and has gray hair, his eyes are energetic and very sharp.

"As long as the old man is still standing here and has a breath, it will never be possible to abandon the city and surrender!"

His voice was as loud as a bell, full of vigorous momentum, and somewhat stabilized the wavering military spirit.

"You are all good men of my Canglan country, behind you are not only the king, but also your family, do you want to see your home trampled and burned by the enemy? It is incumbent on him to protect his family and defend the country, and the Canglan boy listened to the order and followed the general to kill the enemy!! ”

Under the encouragement of the old general Luo Pingwei, the soldiers who had already retreated gradually became firm.

That's right, behind them are family members who need to be protected.

They can't and can't retreat!!

But in fact......

As long as everyone observes carefully, they will find that the face of the old general Luo Pingwei is a little defeated.

His body is already at the end of his strength, and he can't even hold the sword in his hand a little steadily, but in this difficult moment, he must stabilize the hearts of the soldiers and not let them lose their fighting spirit.

Therefore, the old general Luo Pingwei has been concealing his physical condition, and continues to pick up the sword in his hand to kill the enemy bravely.

As long as he doesn't fall, he must defend Lucheng to the death.

"Your Majesty......" Luo Pingwei raised his head and glanced in the direction of the imperial city.

He is an old minister who has assisted three generations of emperors, and everyone spurns that this new emperor is a cruel tyrant, but Luo Pingwei knows that it is this new emperor who has turned the tide and developed the crumbling Canglan country step by step.

He was loyal to the royal family and remained loyal throughout his life.

It's a pity that it's ...... now

"I'm afraid the old minister won't be able to go back to see Your Majesty!"

Luo Pingwei's eyes gradually became resolute, "But as long as the old minister still has a breath, he will guard this country for His Majesty." ”

It's a pity that he is afraid that he will not be able to see the scene of His Majesty ruling the world.

The adjutant closed his eyes deeply, his expression very complicated.

He is Luo Pingwei's henchman, who followed him from birth to death for many years, even if the general is well hidden, the deputy general has already seen that the general is the end of the crossbow, and now it is just a hard support......

As for the reinforcements.

They're afraid they won't be able to wait!

"General, my subordinates swear allegiance to you, and I am willing to follow you from birth to death."

The lieutenant knelt on one knee and his voice was sonorous and powerful.

Even with only one arm left, he didn't want to back down.

The general was right, even if the city gate was opened and surrendered, it would be impossible for those people in the Northern Underworld to let them go.

In that case, it's better to fight with these beasts!!

Just when the soldiers were fighting bravely to kill the enemy and struggling to support, they saw that the enemy troops under the city wall seemed to have received some orders, and suddenly began to retreat.

"General, what's going on? Why did those people from the Northern Underworld retreat......" the lieutenant general asked puzzled.

Luo Pingwei also frowned, his face full of puzzlement.

It stands to reason that those people in the Northern Underworld should take this opportunity to break through the city gate in one fell swoop, after all, they can't hold it for long, but they didn't expect them to give up the low-hanging victory and suddenly retreat.

"The people of the Northern Hell have always been cunning, so you must not let your guard down."

At this moment, a soldier suddenly pointed not far away and shouted with excitement on his face.

"Look, General! It's the banner of Canglan, the reinforcements, it's the reinforcements coming! Reinforcements are coming to our aid! ”

Luo Pingwei looked up and saw the black flag fluttering in the wind and snow, and the eagle on the flag fluttered its wings and flew high, majestic.

That is the banner of Canglan Country!

It's reinforcements......

Although Luo Pingwei is over half a hundred years old, his eyes are very sharp, and he can see the man who is the leader of the team at a glance.

The man was wearing a suit of armor, and even if he was sitting on horseback, he still had a terrifying and powerful aura.

That's—

Luo Pingwei's eyes moved slightly, and his expression became excited, "Your Majesty, that's Your Majesty!" His Majesty personally went on the expedition. ”

Hearing that Twilight Han personally led the troops to the battle, the soldiers who were originally in low morale suddenly became excited.

"It's Your Majesty, Your Majesty is here!"

"Our reinforcements have arrived, great! Lucheng has been saved......"

"Lucheng didn't lose it, it's great, we won this battle!"

……

It wasn't until the reinforcements arrived that everyone saw that the twilight war horse was still carrying a small group.

Nuo Bao followed his father off the horse and walked to the old general Luo Pingwei.

"Your Majesty!" The iron-clad old general couldn't help but have red eyes and tears in his eyes the moment he saw Twilight.

"The old minister has not lived up to His Majesty's entrustment, and Lucheng has not been lost!"

General Luo dragged his weak body and was about to kneel down and salute.

"General Luo doesn't have to be polite, you and the soldiers have worked hard, if it weren't for your hard work, Lucheng would have been breached, thanks to your brave battles, you held the city of Canglan." Twilight Han hurriedly took two steps forward, held the hand of the old general Luo Pingwei, and stopped him from kneeling.

Nuo Bao followed his father and couldn't stop nodding.

That's right, that's right, General Luo and the soldiers are all good.

But......

When Nuo Bao's gaze fell on General Luo, the little guy gradually frowned, looking worried.

Nuo Bao is a small koi fish, and naturally can see some things that ordinary people can't see.

For example, the gray dead air on General Luo's face could hardly be concealed.

Nuobao's heart sank in an instant, and his heart was as dull as pressing a big stone.

General Luo's body is afraid that it won't last long......

Thinking that such an old general who defended his family and the country would soon pass away, Nuo Bao suddenly felt uncomfortable.

Although it is normal for human beings to be separated from each other through joy and sorrow, and it is normal for life and death to part, Nuo Bao still feels very uncomfortable and dull when he sees this scene.
