Chapter 37: Who Said I Can't Come Back?
Red Dragon City, also known as Red Dragon Pass.
This is a large city covering an area of more than 1,000 miles, and it is also the last pass north of the capital.
Red Dragon City is surrounded by mountains on the east and west sides, so there are two more natural barriers, and the city walls on the north and south sides are made of hard stones, and they are also poured with molten iron, which is very strong.
You can attack in the north, and you can hold the capital when you retreat.
This is also the reason why Red Dragon City was able to hold on for so many days.
At this time, the northern city of Chilong City is closed, the flags are flying, all kinds of city defense equipment are piled up on the city wall, there is a Ming soldier guarding every one meter, and there are teams of elite soldiers in the city to patrol back and forth, sweeping all suspicious targets, and the defense is extremely tight.
The Yuan army was stationed ten miles outside Chilong City, and it could call at any time.
Therefore, the atmosphere in the entire Red Dragon City was extremely tense, and it was in a state of combat readiness at any time, a solemn scene!
……
In the middle of Red Dragon City.
In the castle lord's mansion.
Soldiers patrol back and forth, and the defense is also very strong.
And in the various positions of the City Lord's Mansion, there was a faint strong aura that belonged to the martial artist.
Since the loss of Jiayu Pass and the southward movement of the Great Yuan army, the entire Ming Dynasty was shaken.
This time, not only did many masters of the East and West Second Factory and Jinyiwei go north with reinforcements to resist the Yuan army, but even the underworld forces under the command of Tianzong and Tianzun also came as soon as possible.
In addition, there are many people with lofty ideals in the Daming River and Lakes who also spontaneously came to Red Dragon City to help Sun Chuanting defend the city.
Therefore, in Red Dragon City at this time, there are not many masters.
In the main hall of the City Lord's Mansion, dozens of figures sat around and talked with solemn expressions.
On the main seat, a burly man in his forties, dignified, and wearing black armor is none other than the main general of Red Dragon City, Sun Chuanting.
On both sides of the lower head, there were several Ming army generals.
In addition, Ma Jinliang, Ding Xiu, Cao Shaoqin, Dong Tianbao, Lin Pingzhi, Ordo and other six stalls of the West Factory, Ye Gucheng, Yan Shisan, A Fei, Zhan Yu and other masters of the West Factory, as well as Ding Baiying, Lu Wenzhao, Shen Lian and other Jinyi Wei Qianhu, are among them.
Even Yuan Chengzhi and Wen Qingqing, the two personal disciples of Yuhuatian, also came, with a trace of evil aura on their bodies at this time, they had obviously seen blood and had grown a lot.
Those Daming martial arts people who spontaneously came to Red Dragon City to reinforce were led by Bai Yu, the master of the Divine Sword Sect, and sat quietly in the back position.
And the two top combat forces of the Ming Dynasty to resist the Yuan Army and the Heavenly People, Xu Hongru, the ancestor of the White Lotus Sect, and the founder of the Five Elements Demon Palace, the Five Elements Ancestor, sat next to Sun Chuanting, closed his eyes and pretended to sleep, and his breath was profound, which made people dare not underestimate him.
Sun Chuanting, as the commander of the five armies of the Ming Dynasty, naturally also practiced martial arts, although the realm is not high, only the innate level, but as the commander-in-chief, he has the highest command in wartime, and his status naturally cannot be judged by the level of martial arts.
He sat on the city lord's seat, looking at the latest information from the brocade guard in his hand, his face was extremely solemn.
After a while, he looked up at the people in the mansion and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, according to the intelligence, the other branches of the Yuan army have received orders from the Great Yuan Emperor Si Hanfei, and they are rushing towards my Red Dragon City at this moment, with the marching speed of the Great Yuan cavalry, at the latest, the 500,000 troops of the Yuan army will gather outside the Red Dragon City. ”
Hearing this, everyone's faces changed.
Seven days ago, when the Yuan army attacked Red Dragon City, they had already fought the Yuan army once.
The strength of the Yuan army's iron cavalry, they have also seen it.
I have to say that the strength of the iron cavalry of the Yuan army is indeed very strong, and among the six dynasties of Shenzhou, I am afraid that only the easternmost Han iron cavalry can be comparable to it.
In terms of army strength alone, the Ming army is not half a star worse than the Yuan army.
After all, the Great Yuan Iron Cavalry was cultivated by the Yuan army at an unknown cost, and it was the elite warrior that the Great Yuan Dynasty relied on the most.
Under the cooperation of Da Yuan's cavalry, the power exerted was difficult for even ordinary innate realm martial artists to resist.
Although a martial artist above the innate realm can also cause a lot of lethality to it, how many martial artists of this level can there be?
The Yuan army numbered hundreds of thousands.
Moreover, there are also many armies composed of warriors of the Great Yuan Dynasty in the Yuan army, and their strength is not much weaker than their warriors of the Ming Dynasty.
"General, with our current strength, I'm afraid we won't be able to hold Red Dragon City!"
After a slight silence, one of the lieutenants said solemnly.
"If you can't keep it, you have to keep it!"
Another lieutenant general said coldly: "Now that I, the Ming Dynasty, have conquered the Qing Dynasty and controlled the power of the two countries, can't I stop a mere Dayuan?" ”
"Not bad!"
"Didn't the imperial court send a message that it had begun to send troops from the south to reinforce it? Moreover, the old general Sun Chengzong has also personally led an army of 200,000 from Qingzhou! ”
"As long as we can hold on for a while, when our reinforcements arrive, we may not be able to defeat this group of alien wolves and drive them out!"
"Exactly! I'll defend Red Dragon City to the death! Swear not to give up! ”
"That's right! Swear not to give up! ”
…
In the midst of iron-blooded chaos.
Sun Chuanting nodded slightly and said, "Retreat, naturally you can't retreat!" ”
"Now the northern parts that are trampled by the iron cavalry of the Yuan army are miserable, I think you have also heard of it."
"If we retreat at this time, it will be the millions of people in Red Dragon City who will suffer at that time."
"Moreover, Red Dragon City is the last pass in the northern Xinjiang of my Ming Dynasty, if I retreat, my Ming Dynasty will be finished!"
Hearing this, everyone gritted their teeth and looked indignant.
In recent days, almost every day there has been news of the Yuan army massacring civilians in the north.
This group of alien wolves is completely inhuman, and they will kill wherever they go, and I don't know how many people have suffered a catastrophe.
They were eager to get out of the city at once, slaughter the alien dogs, and avenge the souls of those who had died.
But they know that the difference in strength between the two sides is too big.
Impulsiveness will not solve the problem at all, but will make more people die and make the Ming Dynasty fall faster!
"But no matter what, there has to be a solution, and it's not a matter to wait forever."
At this time, Bai Yu suddenly spoke.
He was dressed in white, his body was long, although he was more than half a hundred years old, his blood was particularly strong, and he had a long knife on his right hand, which was majestic.
"What Master Bai said is good."
Sun Chuanting nodded and said: "Sitting still like this is naturally not a way, after all, every day that drags on, more people will die at the hands of this group of foreign executioners." ”
"So Ben Shuai decided that when the reinforcements from the imperial court arrived, we would take the initiative to go out of the pass, fight to the death with the Yuan army, and swear to the death, but also to drive this group of jackals out of the pass, and protect my Ming territory from foreign encroachment!"
In the end, Sun Chuanting was already gritting his teeth and looking angry.
But at this time, Bai Bai Yu shook his head and poured a basin of cold water: "This time the Great Yuan is menacing, 500,000 elites are coming together, or Si Hanfei, a veteran general who has long abdicated for many years, personally led the troops to come, obviously he has long been ready to destroy the Ming Dynasty." ”
"Even if the imperial court sends a large army to reinforce again, I am afraid that it will be difficult to resist the offensive of the Yuan army......"
Hearing this, Sun Chuanting frowned, and said: "Although the overall strength of our Ming army is not as good as that of the Yuan army, but now that my Ming Dynasty controls the territory of the two countries and gathers the strength of the two countries, can't I stop the 500,000 yuan army?" Why should the white boss grow up others and destroy his own prestige? ”
"It's not about growing up others to destroy their own prestige."
Bai Yu shook his head and said, "The old man didn't mean to belittle the imperial court, it's just that Marshal Sun doesn't know much about the difference in the strength of the warriors on both sides. ”
"Even though the imperial court reinforcements arrive and can block the iron cavalry of the Yuan army, those Mongolian warriors in the Great Yuan army are all very strong, and some of them have mastered the magic of the northern grasslands, which can drive jackals, tigers and leopards and other fierce beasts for their own use."
"The last time the Yuan army attacked the city, these people didn't show much ability in this area, but once they go out of the city, or fight in the plains, their strength will be greatly enhanced, ordinary soldiers are not opponents at all, only warriors like us can resist."
"But with the number of warriors we have at the moment, we can't stop so many Mongolian warriors at all!"
"This point, if General Sun doesn't believe it, you can ask a few adults in Xichang and Ye City Lord about them, they must know very well."
When Sun Chuanting heard this, he immediately looked at Ma Jinliang, Ye Gucheng and others.
After a slight silence, Ma Jinliang nodded and said: "What Master Bai said is good, the last time the Yuan army attacked the city, not all of their Mongolian warriors went to war, and there were many more powerful masters in the army. ”
"If it's an all-out battle, it's hard for us to resist."
This time the Yuan army went south, just in the main force led by Si Hanfei, there were more than 1,000 masters, of which only the great grandmasters were more than 30, and the rest were almost all grandmasters and innate levels, and there were many who were good at various different arts.
The last time the Yuan army attacked the city, it was only less than half of the sortie, which had already exhausted them and caused heavy casualties.
This is because they are the defenders of the city and occupy a geographical advantage.
If they go out of the city to fight, and all the masters of the Yuan army are dispatched, they will definitely not be able to stop them.
What's more, the rest of the Yuan army was also rushing to Red Dragon City at this time.
In the rest of the Yuan Army, there must be many masters.
This battle is really difficult!
Bai Bai Yu nodded and continued: "The most important thing is that the strength of the Yuan Army Commander Si Hanfei is even more unfathomable!" ”
"Last time, the old man and Xu Daochang and the Five Elements Ancestor fought against him, and Marshal Sun also saw it."
"This person is at least a celestial powerhouse above the Fifth Heaven Realm, even if the three of us join forces, we can barely hold him back, but after a long time, we will definitely be defeated!"
Hearing the gap in all aspects of Bai Yu's analysis, everyone's hearts sank, and the atmosphere became a little more solemn.
Sun Chuanting's face was also gloomy, his brows were furrowed, and he gritted his teeth and said: "In this way, we can only passively defend the city all the time, and we can't counterattack Dayuan, so we can only let the Yuan army burn and loot in the territory of my Daming?!" ”
"Maybe, even the city can't be defended!"
Bai Bai Yu did not hesitate to break Sun Chuanting's illusions, and said: "We are waiting, Si Hanfei is also waiting, he has already issued an order to the other Yuan army, it should be ready to wait for the 500,000 army to gather, then attack the Red Dragon City in one go, and then continue to go south, destroy the capital, and destroy the Ming Dynasty in one fell swoop!" ”
"Moreover, in order to destroy the Ming Dynasty, the Great Yuan Dynasty paid a great price and ordered the vassal states in the north to send troops at the same time, containing the other three dynasties in Middle-earth, just to cut off the Ming Dynasty's desire to ask for help from the other three dynasties, so that the Ming Dynasty was isolated."
"And the vassals of Dayuan, their strength is limited, and they can't drag it out for too long, Si Hanfei will definitely fight quickly, and it won't drag on for too long."
"So, even if we keep defending the city, the Yuan army will take the initiative to attack the city sooner or later!"
The hearts of the people were even heavier, and their faces were ugly.
"Damn aliens, if only Master were here!"
Yuan Chengzhi suddenly spoke, and said hatefully: "If it weren't for the master who went to the East China Sea, how would the Great Yuan Dynasty dare to attack my Daming?" These wolves are so cunning! ”
The speaker has no intention, but the listener has the intention.
Hearing this, Bai Baiyu's face suddenly changed slightly, as if he thought of something, and said in a deep voice:
"The rain lord is famous for his martial arts, and the entire Dayuan is almost unrivaled, if the rain lord is here, he can indeed block that Si Hanfei, and with the prestige of the rain lord, it should not be difficult to integrate the Daming rivers and lakes and deal with the Dayuan Dynasty together."
"This point, the Great Yuan Dynasty should also be clear."
"But the rain lord only left the Ming Dynasty temporarily, it's not that he won't come back, but the Dayuan Dynasty took the opportunity to attack the Ming Dynasty, in case the rain lord comes back, they will definitely lose their previous efforts and suffer heavy losses as before."
"But why did they dare to come?"
As soon as these words came out, many people's faces changed slightly.
"What do you mean? You mean, the Overseer won't come back?! Ma Jinliang suddenly got up and stared at Bai Yu with cold eyes.
Ding Xiu and the others also had a bad face.
Dare to curse the Lord, are you really great when you are a celestial in your day, right?
Are there still few celestial beings who died at the hands of the Overseer?
Bai Bai Yu said in a deep voice: "The old man is just talking about things, and he doesn't mean to curse the rain lord badly!" ”
"The Great Yuan Dynasty knew that the Ming Dynasty had the Rain Governor in charge, but they still sent troops to attack the Ming with such fanfare, which shows that they had long known that the Rain Governor had gone to the East China Sea to slay the dragon, and they were sure that the Rain Governor would not be able to come back."
"Otherwise, even if they succeed in defeating the Ming Dynasty, they will be subjected to the crazy revenge of the Rain Governor, so why bother?"
"No matter what, nothing will happen to the Overseer!" Ma Jinliang said coldly.
"Yes, Master's martial arts are peerless, and he will definitely be fine!" Yuan Chengzhi also snorted coldly.
Bai Bai Yu shook his head helplessly, and said: "That's all the old man said, in short, I am afraid that there will be a situation where the rain lord will not come back, and maybe the dragon slaying is the conspiracy of the Great Yuan Dynasty against the rain lord." ”
Hearing this, the faces of Ye Gucheng and the others, who had never spoken, couldn't help but change.
They weren't convinced either.
But now listening to Bai Yu's explanation, I suddenly felt a little uneasy in my heart.
Overseer, you can't really come back, right?
"Who said I can't come back?"
At this moment, an indifferent voice suddenly sounded from the door.
Everyone was startled and quickly turned around to look.
Immediately, I saw a figure wearing a silver-white embroidered gold python robe, with a graceful bearing, an arrogant figure, and a handsome face, but his expression was with a thick domineering and indifferent figure, and slowly walked in.
"Overseer?!"
"Rain-sama?!"
"See the Overseer!"
Seeing the comer, Ma Jinliang and the others were slightly stunned, and they were immediately overjoyed, and hurriedly got up and saluted respectfully to the young man.
Yuhuatian's face was indifferent, he looked at Bai Baiyu, and said calmly: "Do you think this seat can't come back?" ”
The difference in strength between the Ming army and the Yuan army in all aspects, here is another explanation, first of all, the Great Yuan Dynasty was originally the strongest among the six major dynasties, unifying the entire northern desert and grassland, and unlike the countries of Middle Earth, the Great Yuan is a well-deserved overlord in the north, controlling many foreign tribes and countries.
Moreover, Dayuan has been preparing for this battle for a long time, this time it is equivalent to a battle with the strength of the country, vowing to destroy the Ming Dynasty, and even the underwear is exposed, and the Ming Dynasty currently only has the army, martial arts and rivers and lakes, and is still on the way to come.
