Chapter Seventy-One: General Chu?

It's really a pot that can't be opened. Lu Zijin and Xu Huaigu were still analyzing the situation of the southern border defense line in the camp, and talked about Tanglin Pass being the most critical of the seven passes, and news came from the front line over there, saying that Tanglin Pass had come to attack the city with a big demon from the Nine Realms.

This coincidence is sometimes the most implausible, and sometimes it is helpless, and this time the situation of Tanglin Pass obviously belongs to the latter.

Xu Huaigu got Lu Zijin's order and hurried to Tanglin Pass. He was probably no less anxious than Lu Zijin, because he remembered that the place where Yin Zishi was sent was this Tanglin Pass, and Yu Qin also stayed here with Yin Zishi.

Don't have an accident. Xu Huaigu's flying sword speed was extremely fast, and the distance between Tanglin Pass and Lu Zijin's camp tent was only a hundred miles away, and Xu Huaigu could see the pass built by the mountain from a distance.

At this time, the sound in the hall was monstrous, and the roar and drums of the demon clan shook the surrounding mountains.

Xu Huaigu stood on the flying sword and looked down, and roughly estimated that there were indeed about 200,000 demon clans here as reported by the scout before.

But there are only 100,000 soldiers of the Dayu Kingdom guarding the pass, not to mention that there is a slender snake demon standing at the forefront of the demon army over there, which is dozens of zhang long, I am afraid that it is the so-called big demon of the Nine Realms.

The drums of the demon clan shook the sky, and the soldiers defending the city were obviously not very confident on their side, and even the drums were down, and their morale was naturally not as good as the other party.

Xu Huaigu didn't dare to delay, hurriedly entered the pass with his sword, and landed on the city wall, and immediately a person wearing a cherry crown and armor and dressed as a general hurriedly came to ask: "Who are you?" Xu Huaigu hurriedly replied: "I am a reinforcement sent by General Lu, named Xu Huaigu. The man frowned, didn't seem to believe it, and asked, "You're the only one?" ”

"No, it's just that I'm the fastest, and the rest of the army is still on the way to support."

"You're a monk? How many realms? ”

"Eight Realms." The man's brows were still tightly locked, and he didn't seem to be very optimistic about this reinforcement, but after all, it was better than nothing.

He turned his head and walked forward briskly, and said, "You come with me and go to see General Chu." He strode forward, and Xu Huaigu followed.

The two of them descended from the city wall and walked quickly into the command's tent. There were already many monks and generals standing inside, and one man wearing armor stood at the front to give orders.

Xu Huaigu looked at it from a distance, and this person actually had long hair and was small, as if he was a woman.

There is a woman in this barracks? And looking at his bearing, his status is not low, Xu Huaigu couldn't help but take a closer look.

Although Dayu has never allowed women to join the army, there are very few women in the barracks after all, not to mention that the woman in front of her is still a general.

Xu Huaigu was amazed in his heart, but now that the situation is critical, it is not the time to ask more.

"This time the demon clan is menacing, not only has an army of 200,000, but also a great demon of the Nine Realms, this is an iron determination to eat our Tanglin Pass at one time! I have already sent the Flying Sword to the Xingyue Sect, and it will take three hours to support no matter how fast it is, and we must hold on to these three hours! The female general looked solemn and said impassionedly, "And this time, the demon clan not only has a cloud ladder, but also brings a lot of siege rams, which is another big threat." Fellow monks, please give priority to those battering rams, and never let the city gate be broken, otherwise we will fight in close combat, and our army will never be the opponent of the demon clan. The consequences are unimaginable! ”

"The rest of the generals, order your subordinates to focus more on the heavens! The attack under the city wall can be temporarily held with fire attack, remember to guard against the flying demons in the sky! General Chen, how many arrows are left? ”

"Report, there are still 50,000 left!" The female general frowned, waved her hand and ordered: "Let the archers under your command save some use!" Aim and shoot again! ”

"Yes!"

"Yin Zishi, Xia Ying!"

"In!"

"The two of you are the highest cultivators in Tanglin Pass, give me a sure number, how long can you hold that snake demon back?" Yin Zishi and Xia Ying looked at each other, both showing embarrassed looks.

Yin Zishi frowned and said: "If you use all your means, you can only hold one cup of tea at most!" Otherwise, we will both be in danger of our lives! ”

"Look who doesn't have to worry about their lives here!" When the female general heard Yin Zishi's words, she couldn't help but grit her teeth in anger,

"You still care about your life on the battlefield, so what are you going to do! A cup of tea is a fart, hold me up for at least an hour! Yin Zishi gritted his teeth and said, "Yes!" A person hurriedly ran forward, bowed his head and said, "General Chu, the reinforcements from General Lu's side are here!" It's a monk! ”

"Where are the people?"

"I've brought it to the tent!" The man waved his hand to signal Xu Huaigu to come forward, Xu Huaigu squeezed through the crowd, walked quickly in front of the female general, bowed his head and arched his hand: "Eight Realms Sword Cultivation Xu Huaigu, let the general send you." For a moment, there was silence in the tent.

Xu Huaigu thought that the female general who spoke generously would definitely yell at herself, after all, she was angry, and even Yin Zishi had scolded, but it was completely contrary to his imagination, the female general didn't speak?

Xu Huaigu was a little curious, so he glanced up. I saw that the female general looked at her blankly, her face was full of shock, and Xu Huaigu was taken aback when she saw it so closely.

This female general is really a familiar face, it seems to be a bit like Chu Xiuyang? When Xu Huaigu saw her surprised look, he guessed in his heart that he had confirmed seven points.

Back then, he assisted Chu Xiuyang to escape from Fusang Country, she said that she was going south to make contributions, and Xu Huaigu has not heard from her for so many years, but she didn't expect to really come to the border, and she was promoted to general?

Thinking of what Lu Zijin said,

"Tanglin Pass is guarded by a general I trust very much", it seems that Chu Xiuyang is mixing well in this military camp!

He asked tentatively, "Chu Xiuyang? And all the people in the tent looked at him in confusion. The female general seemed to react, her eyes returned to clarity, her expression was no longer stunned, and she said sharply: "What did you say?" Xu Huaigu took a closer look again, and became more and more like Chu Xiuyang.

It's just that she didn't seem to want to recognize herself in front of everyone, so she also hurriedly said: "It's nothing, please send the general." The female general regained her general bearing, and simply asked neatly: "How long can you delay with Yin Zishi and Xia Ying against the snake demon of the Nine Realms?" Xu Huaigu secretly glanced at Yin Zishi, and saw that as soon as Yin Zishi saw him, he seemed to be relieved, and his expression was much more relaxed.

"Report to the general, without the assistance of Yin Zishi and Xia Ying, I can drag that snake demon alone." Xia Ying couldn't help but be taken aback, but Yin Zi was actually relatively indifferent, as if he was expected.

The female general narrowed her eyes, looked at him carefully, and said solemnly: "Is this true? If you lose your life or delay your warplane, I will punish you!" ”

"I'm telling the truth, if you can't do it, please deal with it with military law!"

"Good! You've made a military order! The female general laughed,

"If you do it, you will have your own celebration wine waiting for you, if not, bring your head to see me!" Xu Huaigu agreed.

Outside, the drums of war rumbled, and one man ran briskly into the tent, shouting, "Report! The demon army began to attack, and the flying demons took the lead, and there were more than 20,000 of them! ”

"Quickly ready to get in place!" The female general stood up sharply, her eyebrows were imposing,

"Take my bow, and I'll go up to the wall myself!" After speaking, she walked out quickly, and one of the personal guards took a large bull horn bow and handed it to her.

The crowd ran out of the tent in her footsteps, and each took its place, ready for this difficult battle. Xu Huaigu walked out of the camp tent, and suddenly felt that the sky was gloomy, like a black cloud pressing down.

Looking up, I saw a large number of flying demons pressed by the black pressure like locusts passing through, covering the sky and the sun, countless of them.

You must know that each of these flying demons is a bloody and murderous monster, and there are so many of them, and how strong their sense of oppression is, it goes without saying.

"Shoot the arrows!" At the sound of the command, the arrows shot into the air in round after round. In an instant, a large number of flying demons were shot by arrows, broke their wings, and fell from the sky wailing, but many of them were lucky enough to pass through the defense line of arrows and fly to the city wall to kill.

Yu Qin ran to Xu Huaigu's side impatiently out of nowhere, and said worriedly: "You said something like that in the tent just now, but you really killed me!" Are you sure you can deal with the basilisk? Let's call Yin Zishi together! Xu Huaigu smiled calmly: "No need, you know that I am the most cautious, and I won't do anything I am not sure of." Don't worry, I'll be fine, but you, you must protect yourself. Yu Qin nodded seriously, her eyes still revealing worries that could not be eliminated.

Yin Zishi happened to come over, and Xu Huaigu hurriedly told him: "Yin Zishi, take care of her for me." Yin Zishi smiled and said, "Don't worry, unless I die, nothing will happen to her." Xu Huaigu nodded reassuringly, and Yu Qin followed Yin Zishi step by step.

Xia Ying is withdrawn by nature, and is always used to going into battle alone to kill the enemy, and she didn't walk with them, so she passed by Xu Huaigu's side at this time, and also squinted at him a few times before leaving.

Xu Huaigu took a deep breath and prepared for the battle. He unleashed his flying sword and quickly landed on the city wall, observing the situation.

The flying demon overhead is still harassing, and the demon clan under the city wall is also advancing step by step. The female general is strong in martial arts, and she draws a bow and shoots demons on the side.

I didn't see that her small size could pull out the full moon bow, and the arrow was not missing, and when she met a demon who was close, she drew her knife directly, and her hand rose and fell, and after a while, the corpses of the flying demon were piled up around her, and for a while, no demon could get close to her.

Xu Huaigu secretly sighed that Chu Xiuyang's martial arts were getting better and better, but Chu Xiuyang over there noticed that someone was watching him, and after finding out that it was Xu Huaigu, he hurriedly glanced at him, signaling that he would focus on killing demons now, and he would talk about it later.

Xu Huaigu nodded in understanding, looked under the city wall, and saw that the snake demon was rapidly attacking towards the city gate, probably trying to forcibly cast a spell to break the city gate.

He jumped directly from the city wall, just a few feet in front of the snake demon, and then flattened out a sword, swept away the surrounding demons, and stood face to face with the snake demon.

The road was blocked, and the snake demon suddenly stopped, hissing and spitting out the snake letter, entrenched in place, and looked at the person in front of him coldly.

The surrounding demon tide was surging, and there was not even a place to stand on it, only where the two of them were, and no demon dared to approach it, so they forcibly cleared a vacant land and came out.

After a while, the snake demon finally saw that the realm of this person in front of her was not as good as hers, and her eyes became fierce again.

She held her head high, and the hyacinth hissed, her eyes full of the excitement of the hunter seeing his prey.

Xu Huaigu sneered and raised his sword.
