Chapter 144: Even if it is death, I will keep this retreat for you!
Two days later.
Lu Fan led the army to set off again.
The morale of the soldiers was high.
Although they had only rested for a day, they didn't feel tired at all.
They all know that as long as they follow Lu Fan, they will have a head.
Because Lu Fan has always acted impartially, he will be rewarded for his merits.
At the end of each battle, a large number of soldiers were rewarded.
The capture of Jinyu City made them even more rewarding.
"Drive!"
Hurrying during the day and resting at night, it took twenty days for Lu Fan to lead his army to Dayu City.
The one who went out of the city to greet him was a young officer, and he didn't see Xu Zhao.
"What about Xu Zhao?"
Lu Fan sensed that something was wrong and asked.
"Back to the general."
The young officer's face was solemn, and he said loudly: "Zhennan Pass is in an emergency, and Lord Xu has led the army back to help." ”
"Zhennan Pass is in a hurry?"
Lu Fan exclaimed: "When did it happen?" ”
"Five days ago."
The young officer said: "The news came back from the north that the three border cities had all been broken, the entire northern border had been lost, and the Xia, Wei, Yan, and the alliance forces of the three kingdoms had driven straight into the territory of our Great Zhou, and formed a siege of our Great Zhou capital. ”
"The State of Qi and the State of Qin each divided 150,000 troops, a total of 300,000 troops, waved their troops south, and stormed Zhennanguan."
"They attacked day and night, regardless of casualties."
"It's been going on for six days and six nights, and today is the seventh day."
"Our army suffered heavy casualties."
"Lord Xu led an army of 50,000 and went to Zhennanguan to support."
"Before leaving, he specially instructed his subordinates to wait for the general to come back, and then inform the general of this matter, so as not to affect the general's great cause of cutting down Chu."
After a pause, the senior officer continued: "Lord Xu also said, please rest assured that the general will definitely be able to hold Zhennan Pass and wait until the day when the general triumphs." As long as others are there, the city is there! ”
"An army of 300,000?"
Lu Fan summed up in his heart, on the side of the Zhennan Army, even if you add the 50,000 elites led by Xu Zhao, there are only less than 100,000 people.
What's more, regardless of casualties, the Qin-Qi coalition army has been attacking for six days and six nights, and Zhennan Pass is afraid that it will be more auspicious.
Moreover, with each passing day, the danger increases by a few points.
He looked at the sky, and it was almost dark.
That is, the seventh day is almost over.
You have to rush over in time to help.
Thinking of this, he looked back at the generals behind him and ordered: "You lead the army to continue to hurry, and return to Zhennanguan as soon as possible to support!" ”
"Yes."
The generals agreed in unison.
Lu Fan turned his gaze to the young officer again, "You continue to lead people to stay in Dayu City." ”
"Yes, General."
The young officer shouted yes.
"I'll go first."
Lu Fan jumped off the horse, said goodbye to the generals, and quickly disappeared from everyone's sight.
……
……
Zhennan Pass.
It's dark.
However, the flames of war are burning everywhere.
The shouts of killing shook the sky.
Corpses were strewn all over the field, and rivers of blood flowed like rivers.
The fighting was extremely fierce.
Zhao Fei was standing on the city tower, looking at the overall situation.
His face was melancholy, and there was sadness in his eyes.
I'm afraid that Zhennan Pass can't be defended.
As long as this city is lost, the enemy army will inevitably continue to move south and enter the Chu realm.
When the time comes, Lu Fan will be attacked from front to back, and I am afraid that there will be more than one luck.
It is even possible that because of the reversal of the war situation, the two countries of Shu and Yue will turn against the water again.
That's trouble.
The Great Zhou army in the state of Chu may be in a desperate situation.
Even if Lu Fan is here, he may not be able to get out of such a desperate situation.
No way!
Zhennan Pass must not be lost!
As long as he's there, the city is there!
If you want to take Zhennan Pass, unless he is dead.
But even if he dies, he has to defend this retreat for Lu Fan!
Thinking of this, Zhao Fei's eyes gradually became firm.
He turned his gaze to the city wall, only to see that the enemy army had attacked the city wall and was fighting to the death with the Great Zhou army.
Someone keeps falling, and someone else is making up.
There were corpses everywhere, blood everywhere.
It's been seven days!
The Great Zhou army had lost most of its strength, more than 90,000 people, and less than 40,000 remained.
Everyone was also injured.
Even he had countless wounds on his body.
Not to mention others.
The situation is so critical, but no one has taken half a step back.
When it's time to top, you don't frown.
Everyone, including him, believed that Lu Fan would definitely rush back in time, break the Qin-Qi coalition army, and save them from fire and water.
"Kill!"
Suddenly, the sound of neat shouts of killing erupted from the city wall.
Zhao Fei followed the prestige, and his heart suddenly tightened.
One of the battlements had been lost, and there was no follow-up defender to replenish it, and the enemy was pouring in.
"Get out!"
Zhao Wu shouted loudly and led a team to rush to the city wall, temporarily blocking the gap.
But Zhao Fei knew that there was no one available in his hands.
This team just now was a wounded soldier who had just gone down not long ago, and I was thinking that I would rest for a while and come up to fight again.
But I had to go up in advance.
"Kill!"
Shouts of killing erupted.
There were more and more gaps in the city wall, and the Great Zhou army was exhausted.
And the enemy forces are still pouring in.
The forces of both the enemy and us on the city wall are being reversed.
The situation is not good.
It seems that he will have to do it himself.
Zhao Fei sighed secretly.
For seven days, he hadn't closed his eyes.
Whenever the situation is critical, he can only take action in person to save the decline.
But this time, does it still work?
Thinking of this, he was about to jump from the tower.
"General!"
The herald hurriedly ran upstairs and said loudly: "Xu Wei Xu Gongzi, lead the children of the families and sects in the city to come to help in the battle. ”
"Okay."
Zhao Fei was overjoyed and said, "Pass the order and let Xu Zhao arrange it." ”
"Yes."
The herald took the order and departed.
Zhao Fei looked at the city wall again, only to see a group of young people rushing up the city wall, quickly blocking the gaps.
They are all very skilled, they don't wear armor, but they are more agile.
But it didn't take long for the enemy to come up again, and it was continuous.
The group of young men was soon covered in blood, both enemy and own.
Battlefields and peacetime competitions are not used at all.
Even if their strength is good, this is a life-and-death struggle after all, and both the enemy and the enemy are red-eyed, and injuries are inevitable.
Some were even besieged and killed.
Xu Wei, who rushed to the forefront, was even more desperate.
He had countless wounds on his body, but he didn't flinch.
After only a few moments, his clothes were stained red with blood, and he had long since lost his original appearance, like a bloody man.
Seeing this, Zhao Fei knew that just these children of the family could not change the battle situation at all.
If you want to solve the current crisis, only Lu Fan can do it.
Alas, Lu Fan, what can you come back to?
Zhao Fei sighed in his heart.
At this moment, the herald hurriedly came again and said loudly: "General, Mozhu Gongzi led the children of all the families in Caiyun City to take a shortcut from the mountain into the city, and came to help in the battle. ”
"Okay."
Zhao Fei perked up, "Go and let Lord Xu arrange it." ”
"Yes."
After a short time, another group of young people rushed to the city wall, and the leader was Mo Zhu.
He didn't say a word, his sword fell, and the two Qin soldiers in front of him were slashed by him with a sword.
Everyone behind him also joined the battle.
The war is once again in the heat of the sea.
"General, Song Zhaoshu led the children of all the families in Nanzhao City to help in the battle."
The herald had a happy look on his face, "And Wang Fen, who summoned the children of the nearby sects to come to support." ”
"Great!"
Zhao Fei was overjoyed, "Quickly let them join the battle." ”
"Yes."
The herald took the order and departed.
It didn't take long for two more teams of young men to join the battle, instantly reversing the situation and blocking every gap in time.
"Knock knock!"
Rapid war drums rang out from the enemy camp.
Enemy forces are coming in waves.
Looking at the dense enemy troops under the city, Zhao Fei knew that the enemy had stepped up the offensive again.
Don't give them a respite at all.
Half an hour later.
On the city walls, the tide was reversed again.
As the enemy forces continued to invest, the gap was opened again, causing more enemy troops to pour in.
Even if there are many families and sect disciples, some of them can't stand it.
Crucially, there are no more people available.
"Huh!"
Zhao Fei pulled out his waist knife and jumped down from the city tower, and the sword light lit up.
Furious sword qi descended from the sky.
"Boom!"
Dozens of enemy soldiers were slashed by Zhao Fei.
Only then did he land firmly on the city wall and rush into the crowd of enemies, the sword in his hand kept flying, and the enemy soldiers fell one after another.
The spirits of all the soldiers were greatly lifted, and the momentum of the rainbow broke out in an instant, temporarily stabilizing the situation.
But Zhao Fei knew that it couldn't last long.
Because the enemy army is still replenishing in a steady stream, and the Great Zhou army is no longer available.
"Dada!"
The sound of horses' hooves sounded.
A war horse rushed out of the enemy formation, and the person on the horse was wearing armor and holding a spear, and was riding his horse towards Zhennan Pass.
Looks like a general.
Zhao Fei's heart sank, could the person who came be the main general of the other party?
He had already received information that the main generals of the two countries of Qin and Qi this time were all innate realm powerhouses.
As long as one person comes, he probably won't be able to stop him.
The knife in his hand kept swinging, but his attention was on the man in the city.
The man came to the city and shouted at Zhao Fei: "Zhao Fei, I am Tian Yi, the commander of Qi State, and you are still opening the door and surrendering quickly?" Maybe I can spare your life. ”
Sure enough, it was him!
Zhao Fei didn't speak, but the knife was still flying.
The enemy army fell in pieces.
"Humph!"
Tian Yi snorted coldly, stabbed the spear in his hand suddenly, and with a bang, the city gate shattered and fell.
"Huh!"
Countless swords lit up and joined together.
A powerful sword intent rushed out from inside the city gate and slashed towards Tian Yi.
This is the battle formation under Xu Zhaobu, and he personally led the team to guard the city gate.
Tian Yi seemed to have been prepared, his body rose into the air, and the next moment he appeared on the city wall, and the spear in his hand was sent forward, and suddenly the shadow of the gun was heavy.
Zhao Fei was already waiting here, swinging his knife and slashing out.
"Boom!"
With a loud bang, the violent power invaded Zhao Fei's body, and as if he had been hit hard, his body retreated several steps before he stabilized, and a mouthful of blood spurted out.
Finished!
Despair welled up in his heart.
The strength is too far behind.
In just one look, he was wounded.
Not an opponent at all.
This was when he had just entered the Innate Realm.
If he had put it before, he might not even be able to stop the other party's move.
If he dies, Zhennan Pass will be over.
I'm afraid that no one of the Great Zhou soldiers will survive.
Even the disciples of the family and sect who came to support them may be wiped out.
Even the people of the city will be devastated and ravaged.
How many people can survive?
No way!
He can't die!
For the sake of all the soldiers, for the sake of the people of the city, and even for Lu Fan, even if he tries his best, he will defend Zhennan Pass!
Thinking of this, Zhao Fei tightened the knife in his hand.
Tian Yi on the other side, his body was falling rapidly, but before he landed, he stabilized his body, stepped lightly on the city wall with both feet, and his body rose into the air again.
The next moment, he had come to the city wall, looked at Zhao Fei coldly, and was about to speak, but saw Zhao Fei swing his knife at him again.
"Look for death!"
Tian Yi lowered his face coldly, and stabbed the spear out in the light of the sword.
The sword qi and the shadow of the spear met, and a loud bang erupted.
Coming vigorously, Zhao Fei took a few steps back before he stabilized himself.
His face changed slightly, and he finally couldn't hold back, and another mouthful of blood spurted out.
The surface is like gold paper.
On the other hand, Tian Yi only took half a step back.
Judgment from above.
That's not going to work.
Zhao Fei knew that if he continued to fight like this, he would soon die in the hands of the other party, but he would not be able to cause actual damage to the other party.
It's better to fight to the death.
Even if he died, at least the other party would be seriously injured.
Maybe it can also leave a glimmer of life for Zhennan Pass.
Thinking of this, he began to charge up.
"Boom!"
The spiritual power in his whole body was burning.
The power that erupted in that moment made his body a little unbearable.
"Die!"
Zhao Fei shouted, and rushed towards Tian Yi with a knife.
Tian Yi was not afraid at all, his wrist shook slightly, and countless gun shadows converged into a powerful gun intent, and with endless momentum, he swept towards Zhao Fei.
Zhao Fei didn't dodge, and rushed into the gun intent.
Blood splattered everywhere.
But his castration didn't stop, and the next moment, he hit Tian Yi hard.
"Boom!"
There was a loud bang, and the two of them flew out upside down at the same time.
Blood was sprinkled in the air.
Zhao Fei's eyes were closed, and he vaguely heard bursts of cheers in the distance.
"It's Lu Fan!"
"Lu Fan is here!"
"Great!"
"Lu Fan, he's finally back!"
"Zhennanguan is saved!"
The sound was far away, but it was loud and clearer.
Lu Fan is back?
Zhao Fei opened his eyes suddenly, he wanted to look back, but he didn't have the strength.
But he was inexplicably at ease at the moment.
Lu Fan, you're finally back!
I have promised you what I promised, and I have not broken my promise.
Even if it is death, I will defend this retreat for you!
Zhennanguan is still there!
The rest is up to you.
It's a pity, I don't see the day when you lead your army north and sweep through the nations.
I can't see your future growth.
In a trance, Zhao Fei heard Lu Fan's voice coming from a distance, "Lord Zhao, I'm back!" ”
Sure enough, it's you, that's right.
Zhao Fei was completely sure at this time, it was really Lu Fan who came back.
He can leave in peace.
"Bang!"
Zhao Fei fell heavily to the ground, and his consciousness gradually disappeared.
Lu Fan, who was coming quickly, saw this scene and his heart pounded.
He hurried and hurried, but it was still too late.
"Lord Zhao!"
When Lu Fan came to Zhao Fei, he saw that he was covered in blood and wounds, but his face was extremely peaceful.
It seems that there is no concern.
Squatted down and tried his breath, but there was no breath left.
He's dead!
Is it really dead?
I didn't even have time to see him one last time.
I didn't even have time to hear him say a few words.
Lu Fan only felt a pain in his heart, and endless anger was burning.
It's too much of a deception!
You invaders, you deserve to die!
He tightened the gun in his hand, jumped up, flew up the city wall, came to the place where Zhao Fei had just fought, and looked out of the city.
At this time, Tian Yi just got up from the ground, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and there was a little anger on his face.
I don't know what to do, but I want to fight with him?
Fortunately, his physical body was relatively strong, and he was only slightly injured.
Otherwise, it's really a bit of trouble.
Suddenly, he felt a chill, and his heart trembled inexplicably.
Well?
Tian Yi looked up and happened to see a black-armored young man, standing on the head of the city, looking at him coldly.
His eyes were full of hatred, as if he wanted to kill him with his eyes.
Lu Fan?
He remembered that he had heard someone shouting the name just now.
Looking at the appearance and dress of the young man, it is exactly the same as in the legend.
Could it really be that Lu Fan is back?
The war in the state of Chu is over?
How can it be?
But the facts were in front of him, and he had to believe it.
"You are Lu Fan?"
Tian Yi didn't dare to look at Lu Fan, his eyes dodged.
He had heard of Lu Fan's name a long time ago, but he always felt that it was exaggerated.
is a person with ulterior motives, deliberately boasting about the strength and achievements of the continent.
The purpose was to deter them and boost the morale of the Great Zhou army.
But when he saw it today, Lu Fan just looked at him, which made him frightened.
How strong is the other party?
He suddenly became a little timid, coupled with the fact that he had just been injured, he was shocked by Zhao Fei's strength that was not afraid of death, and under the multiple impacts, the anger in his heart was deflated, and he turned around and left.
War is not a contest, and there is no need for him to be strong.
After all, he has an army of 300,000 behind him, and the large number of people is his advantage.
No matter how strong Lu Fan is, he can't stand so many people.
Sooner or later, he will be killed by him.
"Want to go?"
Lu Fan snorted coldly, took off his bow and arrow, and quickly opened his bow and arrows.
"Woohoo!"
A continuous sound of breaking the air sounded.
Hearing the voice, Tian Yi tried to dodge, but was shocked to find that no matter where he hid, those arrows were all with him.
What kind of archery is this?
In desperation, he could only turn around and slash the spear in his hand vigorously.
"Bell!"
With a crisp sound, the furious force suddenly exploded.
Tian Yi's tiger's mouth was shattered, and the spear came out of his hand, and even half of his body was faintly numb.
The arrow didn't stop, and it pierced into Tian Yi's left shoulder.
"Bang!"
A powerful force struck and flew Tian Yi out.
The next moment, he fell hard.
But the arrow still had its strength, and it sank into the earth and nailed him to the ground.
"Ahh
Only then did the screams sound.
Not only miserable, but also full of despair and fear.
Tian Yi never imagined that Lu Fan would be so strong.
With his innate realm cultivation, he can't even stop the other party's arrow?
It turned out that the rumors were true.
Lu Fan turned out to be even stronger than the legend.
Is he going to die here today?
No way.
Tian Yi struggled to get up, but was shocked to find that he couldn't move, and the meridians in his body had been completely sealed.
And there are signs that the spiritual power in his body is actually collapsing.
Finished!
He sighed in his heart, and felt powerless.
In Lu Fan's hands, he had no power to fight back.
Without giving him much thought, the second arrow arrived.
"Bang!"
The sharp arrow pierced into his heart, shattering his heart in an instant.
Lu Fan put away his bow and arrows and jumped down from the city wall.
Facing the tide of enemy troops, he had a cold iron spear in his left hand and a Kunwu knife in his right hand.
The next moment, the clouds were shrouded, and the white ice flowers fluttered and fell one after another.
And with that, a chill to the bone.
On the other side, the sky is full of stars.
Countless stars are falling at a rapid speed, as if the heavens and the earth are reversed, and the galaxy is shattered.
Seeing this scene, the enemy army like a tide suddenly stopped.
They had never seen such a spectacle.
Even the shouting and killing on the city wall has weakened a little.
It was as if the whole world had fallen silent.
All that was left was the rushing ice flowers and the starlight in the sky.
This situation is extremely weird.
Ice flowers fall on the enemy soldiers, heads.
Some people even pick it up with their hands, their eyes full of confusion.
It's not snow, it's not ice.
What's more, where does the snow come from in the south?
However, these little flowers are really beautiful.
Right now.
Countless ice flowers bloom at the same time, extremely bewitching and beautiful.
At the same time, starlight poured down from the sky.
"Boom!"
With a continuous roar, the furious force exploded in the enemy formation.
Blood flowers rose in the air, and the blood mist began to fill.
The thick smell of blood wafted away in the wind, and I felt sick to smell it.
"Ahh
The terrible screams and wails continued, as if entering the Shura field.
The enemy fell in pieces, like a harvest being harvested.
There was no one standing around Lu Fan.
In an instant, thousands of people had died under his blow.
Countless people have been injured.
He just stood quietly, surrounded by corpses and rivers of blood.
It was as if he was the only one left in heaven and earth.
After standing for a long time, the remaining enemy soldiers finally came back to their senses, and they turned around and ran away in fright.
They had never seen such a terrible person.
With a wave of his hand, thousands of people disappeared.
That's not a man, it's a killing god!
They were terrified and just wanted to get out of here as quickly as possible.
I don't want to see that black-armored boy again.
I don't even want to think about it.
It's horrible!
But they know that today's scene has been engraved in their minds and lingers.
Even if they want to forget, they can't do anything about it.
Even for the rest of his life, he can't forget it.
It will be a nightmare for them for the rest of their lives.
They also knew that the black-armored young man was Lu Fan.
I've always heard of this name, but when they really saw it today, they found out that this young man who was covered in coldness was actually stronger and more ruthless than the legend!
At this time, on the city wall, both sides of the war also stopped, watching all this in amazement.
It's like being in a dream, it's so unreal.
"Ahh
Screams rang out.
The enemy troops on the city wall finally came to their senses, did not dare to stay for a moment, and jumped off the city wall in a panic.
Countless injuries were caused by falls.
Those who barely survived, pulled their legs and ran.
They were all frightened by Lu Fan.
I'd rather fall to your death than face such a terrible person.
Even those who are not afraid of death feel afraid at this moment.
It's one thing not to be afraid of death.
But no one wants to die like this.
"Ahh
With shouts of terror, the enemy retreated like a tidal wave.
Going is faster than coming.
In the blink of an eye, it was a clean retreat.
The people on the city wall looked at Lu Fan blankly, their expressions slightly dazed.
What's going on?
"It's Lu Fan!"
Someone recognized Lu Fan and exclaimed.
"It's really Lu Fan!"
"He's finally back!"
"Great!"
More people recognized Lu Fan and cheered.
At this moment, they were completely relaxed and unusually relieved.
Because they all know that as long as Lu Fan is there, Zhennan Pass will not be lost.
And they can survive.
Finally got through it!
They swore to defend Zhennanguan to the death, wasn't it for this moment?
Wait for Lu Fan to come back!
