Chapter 9: Locking the Soul Outside

After this sneak attack by wolves, Yuan Zhenghao can be described as very shocked, fortunately, his duty this time is not to urgently reinforce or escort grain and grass, so he does not need to rush so much, it is because he ordered the army to take more wide and righteous roads, so as not to regenerate.

However, this road is far away, tens of thousands of miles away, where will it be really smooth sailing, and after walking for more than a month, it has been sleepy and tired, and occasionally there are still some small accidents. However, this did not affect the army, but only added some delicious rations to the soldiers.

More than 20 days have passed, and the destination is very close, at this time the road has gradually become populated, and you can see several villages and towns from time to time, Yuan Zhenghao passed the order: all the soldiers must abide by the military regulations, and order themselves not to harass the local residents with any interface and reason, otherwise the military law is ruthless, and the punishment will not be granted!

Three days later, an ancient and huge city appeared in the distance.

This city is called the Southern Boundary City, which is huge and magnificent, and the distance from the north and south of the border city that has fallen is only more than 100 miles. Back then, after the demons were defeated by the coalition forces, the human race and the demon race were divided into borders, so a symbolic city was established, which is the origin of the border city.

Later, because the border city was too simple, there were vast mountains on the left and right, and there were often herds of beasts around, so the human race migrated in a big way and re-established the southern boundary city here, leaving only some soldiers to guard there.

Up to now, the Southern Boundary City has gone through tens of thousands of years, and the traces of erosion of time can be seen everywhere on the tall city walls, faintly revealing an endless sense of desolation.

When they finally approached, Dao Yuan and the others were not only shocked by the antiquity and majesty of the Southern Boundary City, but also shocked by the dense guards at the head of the city.

At the opening of the city gate, a team of more than a dozen people appeared, galloping towards the army, countless dust rushing into the air behind them.

is the first person, with a helmet and armor, a fierce expression, and a mighty and majestic gesture.

This person is none other than Gu Chengfei, the defender of the Southern Boundary City.

Seeing this, Yuan Zhenghao stepped forward quickly with a whip and gave him a military salute, and then smiled and said: "Don't be here for a few years, Brother Gu won't be harmed!"

Gu Chengfei also returned the salute with his fists, and laughed loudly: "Brother Yuan Hongfu, I can eat and sleep, and I am as healthy as a cow, but I haven't seen my brother in the past for many years, and I am very worried in my heart!

The two exchanged pleasantries, and Yuan Zhenghao frowned and asked, "Brother Gu, what is the situation in the border city now?"

Gu Chengfei sighed: "It's a shame to say! At that time, the border city guard ordered someone to send an urgent message, saying that the demon clan army was attacking, although I was strange, but I immediately led troops to reinforce, who knew that when I just arrived at the Soul Lock Pass, Tan Ma reported that the border city had been lost, the soldiers inside were killed and wounded, and the 100,000 army of the demon clan was killing here, so I took 30,000 soldiers to station on the spot and guard the Soul Lock Pass......"

Speaking of this, he scolded a few words hatefully, and said: "30,000 against 100,000, even if the pass can be defended, but after five days of hard fighting, I and the soldiers are still gradually unable to resist, fortunately at the last moment, the iron commander led the army to arrive, which stabilized the soul locking pass! He saw that we had been fighting for several days, and the losses were not small, and we were sleepy and tired, so he ordered us to come back and repair it, and by the way, we were taken into the city. ”

Yuan Zhenghao said: "Since there is an iron marshal guarding the soul locking pass, the demon clan will not want to take a step forward!"

Gu Chengfei nodded and said, "Brother Yuan has worked hard all the way, and today I will rest overnight in the barracks in the south of the city, and tomorrow we will set off together to help Tie Shuai kill the enemy." ”

In the early morning of the next day, Yuan Zhenghao and Gu Chengfei each led their subordinates, a total of 20,000 people, and under an order, 20,000 soldiers opened at the same time, and went straight to the Soul Lock Pass.

Dao Yuan and a group of disciples followed behind, looking at these elite tiger and wolf masters, they were also infected with iron-blooded pride, and their hearts became inexplicably excited.

The journey of dozens of miles took less than an hour to arrive.

Looking from afar, I saw two dragon-like mountains separated from each other, winding east and west, I don't know where they extended, and in the middle of the mountain range, there was a gap about thirty miles long, and some simple tall walls were built with mountains and stones, like a pearl sitting at the mouth of the two dragons.

There, a silver light shone, 100,000 troops lined up neatly in front, flags fluttering, war horses neighing, blocking the whole pass, look at the momentum, like a steel boulder, let him wind and waves, the ground and the mountains collapse, can not shake a single cent.

Dao Yuan and a group of disciples followed behind, looking at these such elite tiger and wolf masters, they were also infected with iron-blooded pride, and their hearts became inexplicably excited.

Lei Luo said a little strangely: "This is the Soul Locking Pass, how do I feel like two dragons playing with pearls?"

Hu Lie next to him was stunned when he heard it, then nodded and smiled: "Don't say it, it's really like!"

The 20,000 army came to a stop outside the pass, Yuan Zhenghao and Gu Chengfei turned over and dismounted, ran all the way to the outside of the tent, and saluted and entered.

In the handsome tent, Tie Kaishan was dressed in a battle robe and iron armor, looking at the sand table in front of him and contemplating, his deep eyes flashed from time to time, and the square face of the Chinese character was resolute and cold, not angry and arrogant, although he stood there quietly like this, it gave people a solemn feeling like a steady mountain.

"You're here. Tie Kaishan woke up from his contemplation, looked at them and said with a smile, and asked Yuan Zhenghao again: "How is it?

Yuan Zhenghao replied respectfully: "Back to the big handsome, although there are some small waves, but in the end there is no danger. Then, he briefly explained the things along the way.

Tie Kaishan listened quietly, and said with some curiosity: "You said that you were attacked by wolves, and in the end it was a teenager who resolved the crisis?" ”

"Yes, his subordinates were also very surprised, but since he didn't mean to explain, it was inconvenient for his subordinates to ask. ”

"Hmm. Tie Kaishan nodded, and said, "How is the White Courtyard Master?"

Yuan Zhenghao said: "The master of the hospital is in good health and full of energy...... It's just that when he mentions Dashuai, his voice is full of concern. ”

Tie Kaishan sighed slightly: "Yes, we haven't seen him for ten years! I originally thought of visiting him this time, but who knew that I would encounter an invasion of the demon clan again......

"Dashuai, what is the situation between us and the enemy now?"

"I fought with them more than a dozen times, and each had a win or a defeat. Referring to the battle situation, Tie Kaishan's face slowly sank, and he frowned: "It seems that the demon clan came prepared this time, not only the logistics supply is very sufficient, but even the quality of the soldiers participating in the battle is also very high, obviously the elite troops of the demon clan!"

Gu Chengfei said: "What kind of medicine did these guys take wrong, how did they start a war against us......!

"In every dispute, there must be interests, and this time is no exception. Tie Kaishan frowned and said: "It's just that I haven't seen it for the time being, what are the benefits of their unusual, labor-mobilized people's large-scale offense......

I couldn't say it, so I heard an arrogant roar, although the distance was a little far, but I could still hear it clearly: "Tie Kaishan, come out and fight with me quickly!"

Yuan Zhenghao and Gu Chengfei were both furious, and rushed out of the big tent at the same time, shouting: "What an arrogant guy, there is no one in his eyes like this!"

Tie Kaishan then followed, and the three of them came to the front of the two armies together.

In the demon camp, a rugged man more than two meters tall, with a halberd in his hair, shirtless and barebacked, holding a mace more than two meters long, riding a black giant bear under his crotch, walked out of the front of the battle alone, and shouted battle there.

"Tie Kaishan, they all say that you are a famous commander of the human race, I think it's just that, whether it's a single person or a battle formation these days, you haven't taken much advantage! Today, taking advantage of the good weather, come out quickly, I will fight with you single-handedly, and see who is higher and who is low!" Seeing that his target finally appeared, the big man shouted again.

Yuan Zhenghao was even more angry when he heard this, turned around and bowed to Tie Kaishan next to him and said, "Marshal, your subordinates please fight!"

Tie Kaishan was silent for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "This manpower is infinite, his mace weighs as much as a thousand catties, you have to deal with it carefully!"

"Yes, my subordinates understand!"

Yuan Zhenghao picked up his gun and got on his horse, rushed out at a gallop, and shouted loudly: "The demon is going to be rampant, see grandpa come to take your life!"
