On May 15, after six days of deep and roundabout battles, the 50,000 cavalry of the Feng Jixing Department arrived at the Yunzhong Sluice Gate, and there was a decades-old fortress standing on the sluice, which was the Yunzhong Pass, and the purpose of Feng Jixing's trip was the Yunzhong Pass, and only by holding the Yunzhong Pass could the iron hooves of the Longji Corps continue to invade south, and Feng Jixing had no choice.

Looking up at this majestic fortress, Luo Yu couldn't help frowning and said, "I don't know how long we want Pan to stay here." ”

"Until we have gathered enough strength to be able to regain lost territory on the Northern Expedition. Feng Jixing's eyes were deep, and he said: "Enter the pass, pass the order, take over the entire Yunzhong Pass, and send the feather book to all the states and counties in Yunzhong Province, those who have not yet surrendered, those who have already surrendered, but all those who come to Yunzhong Pass for refuge will be taken in, we can't let the people of the empire chill." ”

"Yes, Your Highness!"

The sluice gate in the clouds is adjacent to the transportation lifeline of the ancient road in the clouds, and a large number of iron hooves enter the fortress from the ancient road in the clouds, and the guards in the city are Lin Muyu's old department, the Venus instructor of the temple, but now he has become a guard, seeing the arrival of Feng Jixing, he handed over the city to him without hesitation, for the imperial soldiers, Lin Muyu and Feng Jixing are two gods of war, the supreme existence.

Stepping on the city wall, overlooking the north, Feng Jixing continued to issue various orders for defense regardless of his tiredness, and recruited people to repair the city wall, after all, there has been no war between Yunzhong Province and Lanyan City for many years, and many lengths of the city wall that stretches for dozens of miles in Yunzhong have been in disrepair for a long time, and if they are not repaired, they will be vulnerable.

Holding on to the cold stone wall, the wind followed the line to watch the surging water of the Daojiang River flowing from the north, the river was turbulent, and the huge heads continued to emerge in the heart of the river, it was the frost armor dragon, they were clustered in the Daojiang Yunzhong Provincial Basin, for decades people were not willing to approach the Daojiang River at all, and these frost armor dragons were huddled together and screamed under the sluice, it was this huge sluice that made them unable to go down the river to the south, if they really went, the fishermen and farmers on both sides of the river were afraid that they would suffer.

"Your Highness, what else do you have to order?" Luo Yu on the side asked in a low voice.

"No more. ”

Feng Jixing was a little helpless, his brows furrowed as he looked at the turbulent Daojiang, and after a few seconds, he said: "Luo Yu, how is the guarding power of the Seven Seas Province?" Fang Lan is not a good type, after taking Twilight Rain City, the next step may be Seven Seas City, if the two major towns in the north fall one after another, we will be the sinners of the empire, and we will be the sinners of the empire, and we will be disgraced forever." ”

"Your Highness, rest assured, the Seven Seas Province is temporarily guarded by General Chen Xiaoli, he began to gather the troops of the major states and counties in the province a few days ago, plus the soldiers and horses of the headquarters, there are at least 150,000 people, the mountains between the Seven Seas Province and the Yunzhong Province are continuous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, with General Chen Xiaoli's ability, I believe there will be no problems. ”

"Hmm. ”

Feng Jixing silently muttered two sentences: "I haven't seen Chen Xiao leave for a long time, and I don't know how he is now...... By the way, send war eagle scouts to find the slaughtered and scattered Iron Blade Army, take them back to Yunzhong Pass, and send messengers to the major states and counties of Tianshu Province, and order all the government troops to send more than seventy percent to Yunzhong Pass to wait for my dispatch. ”

"Yes, my subordinates obey. ”

"Wait. ”

"What else is there to do with Your Highness?"

Feng Jixing pondered for a while, and said: "Order people to step up the rust of a hundred Qinzi battle flags and distribute them to all the departments of Yunzhong Pass, I want the whole army to know whose army we are and who we are fighting for." ”

"Yes, my subordinates will do it!"

Looking at Luo Yu's figure in a hurry, Feng Jixing couldn't help but take a deep breath, it was really a wise choice to ask Luo Yu from Lin Muyu's side at the beginning, otherwise where would there be such a capable cadre at this moment, as for Zhang Wei, let him charge into battle, he has the style of a general, but it is far from enough to let him do some civilian things, the imperial army has always emphasized military force and light literature, but there are many drawbacks, if this war is really fought and the empire is not destroyed, it is time to pay attention to civil politics, after all, Qin Jin has accumulated coins for so many years, the economy, has been almost finished in this decade, and the empire at this time can be said to be empty and exhausted.

It wasn't until late afternoon that the voice of the herald woke Feng Jixing from his dream—

"Your Highness, the remnants of an Iron Blade Army are back!"

"Ah......h

Feng Jixing rolled over and fell from the chair, he hadn't closed his eyes for five days and five nights, he was so tired, his body was about to hit the ground before he activated his divine power, his palm shook, his body floated up, and after opening the door, he asked, "Who is back?"

"His Royal Highness Qizuo, it was the Iron Blade Army that followed Luo Xin to lead out of the city to meet the killed and scattered people, led by Qin Yong, the right commander of the Iron Blade Army, after they were ambushed, they encountered two more Longji Corps pursuits, and suffered heavy losses, and now they are outside the city, General Zhang Wei asked me to report and ask if they should be allowed to enter Yunzhong Pass. ”

"Okay, I'll go over now. ”

Feng Jixing stepped forward, and a flash of lightning flashed by, but the person had disappeared in place, shattering into the void.

......

"Smack!"

Under the shade of the willow trees on the ancient road in the clouds, a thunderbolt bloomed, and Feng Jixing had already appeared several miles away in a flash, when he appeared, Zhang Wei and the others behind him were slightly stunned, but they quickly calmed down, and it was no wonder that the forbidden army did not know that Feng Jixing was a strong man in the divine realm.

But on the ancient road, a group of remnants of the defeated army stood there with an extremely dismal purge of military appearance, and the one at the front turned over and jumped off the warhorse, his armor was already incomplete, his arms and chest were scratched, and the swords in his hands were covered with cracks, and his face seemed to be covered with blood.

Qin Yong, the distant bloodline of the Qin royal family, the ancestor used to be the ancestral bloodline, but it has become farther and farther away from the lineage in this generation, so that Qin Yong was originally just a small state and county captain, but this little lieutenant relied on his own ability to step by step to the position of the right army commander.

"The whole army dismounts and salutes His Royal Highness King Xin!"

Qin Yong shouted, and the soldiers behind him who seemed to have been fished out of the blood dismounted one after another, and they all performed the current imperial military salute, kneeling on the right knee, the right fist reaching the ground, and the left hand was naturally placed on the left knee, bowing their heads and bowing their heads, this is the current great gift of the imperial military salute, and it will only be used when meeting princes and emperors.

"Get up. ”

Feng Jixing's voice was categorical, and he said: "Military salute, I, Feng Jixing, am a soldier!"

"Yes!"

Qin Yong stood up, led the soldiers behind him, stood and saluted, it was a fist salute, holding the blade in his right hand, and holding his left hand on the back of his right hand, respectful and mighty.

Feng Jixing also saluted them, which was the respect between the soldiers.

"General Qin Yong, how many of you still have them?" he asked.

Qin Yong's body trembled: "Your Royal Highness, there are 50,000 people who followed Xin Gong when he left the city, of which nearly 20,000 were the brothers of my right army...... I, the last general, was incompetent, the number of starved to death was more than 1,000, and many war horses had been slaughtered, but ......"

"Aren't there any villages and towns along the way?" Feng Jixing said sharply, "Why don't you supply grain and grass in the villages and towns?"

"Your Highness, I ......"

Qin Yong trembled, knelt on the ground again, and said: "The last general is incompetent, but the imperial military law is cloudy, and it does not disturb the people, the villages and towns along the way have been ransacked by the thieves of the Tianji Empire, many people have been displaced, and they have nothing to eat, how can their subordinates set up for plunder, those ...... Those brothers of the Right Army who starved to death would rather die than plunder the people, please ...... Your Highness Punish the crime!"

"Good!"

Feng Jixing's eyes were a little blurred, and his voice trembled a little: "Okay, General Qin Yong, this is the model of the imperial soldiers...... A year ago, His Royal Highness Yu rebuilt the military system, re-planned the military salute, and held the hand of the soldier with his left hand, which means 'courage does not cause chaos, and martial arts does not violate the ban', General Qin Yong, you ...... You are more qualified to be a soldier of my Qin family than a surrendered person like Su Changyan. ”

"What?" Qin Yong was stunned: "Deputy Su Changyan is the commander of him...... He surrendered?"

"Otherwise?"

Feng Jixing had a cold face and said: "Su Changyan easily sacrificed Dusk Rain City without resistance, it is simply a shame for the empire and a shame for the Su family, Qin Yong, I appoint you as the new commander of the Iron Blade Army, from now on, we will receive the returning Iron Blade Army skirmishers in Yunzhong Pass, and then the troops we recruit will also be used to replenish the Iron Blade Army, can you be this commander well?"

Qin Yong was stunned, and was instantly promoted from the command of the right army to the Iron Blade Army, this addition to the rank of knight inevitably came too quickly, but it was too late to be happy, he was more revenge in his heart, and said with a fist: "The last general obeys the order!"

"Let's enter the customs! Zhang Wei, arrange a camp for the brothers of the Iron Blade Army, and immediately order the Linghuo Division to cook, so that everyone can eat a full meal first. ”

Zhang Wei clenched his fists: "Yes, Your Highness!"

......

Luo Yu stood beside Feng Jixing, watching the remnants of the Iron Blade Army enter the city pass, his heart was indescribably heavy, just like Feng Jixing's mood, Feng Jixing took out the last 50,000 iron horsemen from the forbidden army, the Gentian Battalion, and the Shenwei Camp to help Dusk Rain City for a long time, but he didn't expect to get such a result.

The blood-stained battlefield of ten famous generals may be wasted just because of a surrendered general.

Until three days later, the remnants of the Iron Blade Army gathered from the mountains, fertile fields, and jungles of Yunzhong Province, and finally formed a team of nearly 30,000 people, which made people feel stamped, and the Iron Blade Army, which was once 200,000 people, is now only this little bit left, and what praises such as "Northern Iron Lion", "First Army of the Empire", and "Su Clan's Heroic Division" have become a thing of the past.
