On the endless wilderness, tens of thousands of cavalry walked weakly on the ground, the war horses kept snorting, and the shabby battle armor and the battle flag in their hands announced the identity of this cavalry. They were the vanguard cavalry of Dong Zhuo's Liangzhou army, and in the battle with the 20,000 cavalry of Yuwen Chengdu, they were hit hard by the absolute gap, and the army was defeated and suffered heavy losses. It was also because Yuwen Chengdu had left Liangzhou for too long, so that these forgetful alien soldiers had forgotten Yuwen Chengdu's name, the black butcher, and the war knife that was pressed on their heads. They failed, if it wasn't for the fact that it was too late at night, they would have been pursued by the cavalry of Yuwen Chengdu and completely annihilated on the land of Sizhou.

The demoralized soldiers sat on their horses and rushed weakly towards the large army in the rear, and most of their generals had already been killed by Yuwen Chengdu and Luo Cheng. This time, not only Yuwen Chengdu announced his return strongly, but Luo Cheng, who had been in the Liangzhou army, finally let these soldiers of different races see what the real strength gap was. Yuwen Chengdu and Luo Cheng set off a bloody storm among the alien army, and they were then defeated by Gao Zhong and Cao Ning, who rushed in.

The cavalry under the command of Yuwen Chengdu followed up, and instantly cleared out a large empty area of the cavalry of the alien race like mowing grass, and the fastest ghost wolf and ice horned cow also let those demon bull riders and wolf riders who have always been proud of themselves of the alien race see what is the horror of the ancient beasts, and it was a round of duel, and the cavalry of the alien race had all been overturned to the ground by the cavalry under the command of Gao Zhong and Cao Ning

Fighting requires not only personal strength, but also a strong will to fight and sophisticated weapons and equipment. This time, the Northern Army was led by Wang Jian to intercept Dong Zhuo. Han Xin, who was sitting in Yizhou, even transported all the weapons urgently produced in Yizhou to the Northern Corps. Arm them so that they have strong combat effectiveness to make up for the lack of troops. This time, the cavalry under the command of Yuwen Chengdu was even more powerful. The sophisticated equipment made those foreign cavalry feel a little frightened. Although these cavalry of different races were also recruited by Dong Zhuo and equipped them with sophisticated weapons and battle armor, the gap between them and the cavalry of Yuwen Chengdu was still quite large, and the cavalry of the Shenwu Army was famous for being well-equipped.

The cavalry of the two sides fought, and the cavalry of the alien race could not even cut the cavalry armor that blocked the Shenwu Army with one sword, but the sabre in the hands of the cavalry of the Shenwu Army could easily cut through the armor eliminated by the Liangzhou Army on their bodies. In the slashing of weapons, the swords of the alien race are also sabers that are broken in the hands of the soldiers of the Shenwu Army. The war horses of the Shenwu Army are all dressed in vests in key parts, although the Shenwu Army has to suffer a lot of losses from other races on the war horses. However, in the collision of the war horses, the war horses equipped with a certain amount of war armor knocked the opponent's war horses to the ground one after another.

This fiasco finally gave these soldiers who had not had any military discipline since their departure from Liangzhou tasted defeat, and when they fled, they could be described as throwing off their armor. The current cavalry has completely lost its previous rebelliousness and arrogance, and now they are like lost dogs in the land of Sizhou to let go of their horses' hooves and run wildly. The biggest in their army is now a thousand-commander, and the other officers have become the combat exploits of the cavalry under Yuwen Chengdu.

Fortunately for them, their desperate battle also caused heavy losses to the Yuwen Chengdu Corps, which numbered only 20,000, allowing them to gain a little respite when they fled in a hurry. The surroundings looked unusually desolate in the silver moonlight, and these foreign cavalrymen looked around in vain, the defeat made them throw away all their food and hay, they had fled all night, hungry and they wanted a full meal, but there was no village on their way to retreat to provide them with any food and grass. They have already been robbed by them.

Dozens of cavalrymen on black war horses frantically whipped their horses and walked in the night, and the black battle flags were waving in the breeze. The golden willow character show is in the big flag, and the first is a young general, with a golden flag behind him, and a class character show in the small flag. Dozens of cavalry galloped on the land of Sizhou with the moonlight, and the horses beat the ground rhythmically, and the lights of the village were instantly extinguished when passing by the village. Now that the empire is in turmoil, the passing army does not make the people of the empire feel any panic, the only thing that worries them is the rebels who have lost their leadership after the defeat.

"General Ban, at this speed, we will rush to Wolong Villa in the early hours of tomorrow morning, shall we take a break?" Ban Chao looked ahead with a tired face, followed by a young general with a double gun, and a big Dong character embroidered on the small flag behind him, he was Dong Ping, a double gun general who was also arranged to serve in the Northern Army.

"No, let the brothers hold on, let's keep going. Dong Zhuo's army is approaching day by day, and the combat effectiveness of our northern army is insufficient, so we must rush to Wolong Villa as soon as possible. Ban Chao said to Dong Ping with a solemn face, Dong Ping nodded and immediately let the dozens of cavalry under his command continue to advance. It's not that Ban Chao doesn't want to rest, but unfortunately time doesn't allow it, time is the life of the Northern Army. This time, Ban Chao accepted Wang Qian's order and must rush to Wolong Villa as soon as possible to seek support.

When the first rays of sunlight fell on the earth, the toiling people of the empire woke up from their sleep, and each family began their day's work with smoke curling up. The children in the village have also begun to go out of the house to find their friends to play, and the cats and dogs of each family have begun to bark in the village. The black-armored cavalry frantically whipped their war horses and passed by the road next to the village, and everyone was stunned to look at the cavalry walking by, especially their banner turned out to be the willow-shaped battle flag, and the word Shenwu on the back of the armor on their bodies also announced their identity.

It was not a surprise that the army was here, it was once a camp for the Praetorian Guard, and since the Praetorian Guard was withdrawn, it was garrisoned by the newly formed Guards, but no matter which legion was stationed here, this was not a place where they could run wild. This is the territory of Wolong Villa, which is a very special existence in the Empire, whether it is the Imperial Army or the government, although there is a station here. but no jurisdiction. The one who really rules this place is the owner of Wolong Villa. It's a very mysterious existence.

Wolong Villa has existed for thousands of years. Since the founding of the imperial capital, Wolong Villa has been established as soon as the imperial capital came. In addition to the four kings and eight great martial marquis, there were also some generals who led the elite soldiers under their command to return to the field, and the place where they were stationed was Wolong Villa, and this place was also the place where the empire placed those disabled soldiers. Of course, the name of Wolong Villa does not come from this, if it is just these soldiers, it is decided that it is not called Wolong Villa, there is only one reason why it is called Wolong Villa, this is the imperial tomb of the empire.

Ban Chao led the cavalry under his command to frantically whip the war horses towards the imperial tomb, and they received an order to connect with the princes and nobles guarding the imperial tomb as soon as possible, and use the liliang of the imperial tomb to intercept Dong Zhuo. The Imperial Tomb is a special place in the Empire, where the late emperors and empresses of the Empire and numerous concubines are buried. The land here is fertile and wild. A huge mountain became the symbol of the imperial tomb, and that high peak was the mausoleum of the First Emperor.

There is no army stationed here, but no one has dared to fight the idea here for thousands of years. At that time, almost all the generals under the command of the First Emperor were disarmed and returned to the field to garrison here, and there were many wounded soldiers loyal to the First Emperor who lived here with their families, they were the most loyal liliang guarding the imperial tomb, as long as they were there, absolutely no one dared to touch the imperial tomb. For thousands of years, many troops passed by here, but they all passed quietly, and not a single cavalry dared to gallop wildly.

"Everyone dismounted and walked to Wolong Villa. Ban Chao said to the soldiers under his command with a tired face, and everyone was stunned. This has just entered the territory of Wolong Villa, which is still a long way away. If you walk to Wolong Villa from here, you will have to walk for at least half a day. Everyone looked at Ban Chao in puzzlement, but Ban Chao did not have the slightest doubt to dismount and walk, and all the soldiers behind him turned over and dismounted.

"General, it's still far from Wolong Villa, aren't we?" Dong Ping was temporarily ordered to accept the military order, and he was responsible for protecting Ban Chao's safe arrival at Wolong Villa. Dong Ping looked up at the looming Wolong Villa in the distance and said worriedly, they were on war horses all the way, whether they were eating or resting, and changing horses or not changing people was just to rush to Wolong Villa as soon as possible, which had already entered the territory of Wolong Villa, but they had to dismount and walk.

Ban Chao looked at the Wolong Villa in the distance with a tired face, shook his head and said: "The situation here is different from other places, this is the imperial tomb, although there is no army stationed here, but no ordinary people living here can be underestimated. They were all the most loyal soldiers of the time, they had lived here for thousands of years, and the purpose of their lives was to guard the imperial tombs of the Empire. If we continue to ride our horses to Wolong Villa, we may not even be able to enter the door. ”

When Ban Chao accepted this mission, he had already studied the history of Wolong Villa in detail and knew where the key breakthrough point of this mission was. As soon as Ban Chao explained to the soldiers under his command like this, everyone understood, and they didn't speak, silently led the war horse and followed Ban Chao towards Wolong Villa. The people of Wolong Villa were curious to look at the cavalry of more than ten people who rushed over, their news was not completely incomprehensible to the outside world, and they had all heard of the name of the Shenwu Army. The appearance of the Shenwu Army aroused their strong curiosity, and no army had appeared here for many years.

Inside Wolong Villa, an old man and a teenager looked at the more than ten cavalry walking slowly in the distance. The old man didn't say anything to the young man, but the young man's face was already showing excitement that could not be concealed. When Liu Fan raised troops in the name of the royal family, they already knew the name of the Shenwu Army, although the process and achievements of the Shenwu Army in various battles also reached their ears, and the Shenwu Army aroused their strong curiosity. However, the purpose of the Shenwu Army's visit this time is also very clear, that is, the most important battle for the imperial capital.

"Father, did the Shenwu Army come here this time to borrow our liliang?" The young man was only in his twenties, and many of the generals under Liu Fan's command were generally young generals, but this young man's face had a maturity that was completely incommensurate with his age. The owner and young owner of this old and young Wolong Villa, they are Longshou and Longyan.

"We have not participated in the Empire's army since its establishment, let alone any war in the Empire, what help do you think they can get from us?" Long Shou said to Long Yan with a solemn face. But I still vaguely began to worry in my heart. Although Wolong Villa has set rules since its establishment. Do not participate in any battles in the Empire. Their only mission is to protect the Imperial Tomb.

A hint of heaviness flashed on Long Yan's face, he admired Liu Fan very much from the bottom of his heart, he had also studied in Tianlong Academy under a pseudonym, so he naturally knew Liu Fan's deeds. Since Liu Fan raised his army, he felt that this was the most important thing for a man to do, especially the battle between the Shenwu Army and the Sea Clan in Yizhou made Long Yan excited. For the sake of the people of the empire, the Shenwu Army can be said to be completely fighting with the Sea Clan in Yizhou, especially when the Shenwu Army won the battle, Long Yan felt that he should join such an army. However, his father's answer today made a trace of solemnity flash on his face, and he secretly made a small calculation in his heart.

"Father, I heard that Liu Fan is in Dijing now. And he has already married the Hades Sect. Moreover, it has been entrenched in Sizhou, and the Yuwen Chengdu Corps on the border of Qingzhou began to move north to block the Liangzhou Corps from the north. Long Yan looked at his father and said with a solemn face: "Now Liu Fan is the most talented heir of the royal family, and now Emperor Xian is young, once the Shenwu army is defeated, this empire really does not exist, not to mention that he is also the grandson of Ximen Zhong, father, weren't you also very optimistic about Ximen Zhong back then? If they really came to us to ask for help this time, if we don't help them, won't we?"

"The marriage between Liu Fan and the Hades Sect is just to reduce the pressure from the rivers and lakes, those jumping clowns can't do anything else, but assassination is very good. Long Shou said to Long Yan disdainfully: "The Hades Sect is very prestigious in the rivers and lakes, especially the strength of the Hades Stone Ridge is extremely strong. He may become the existence most likely to break through the Saint Emperor Realm and become an immortal-level existence in thousands of years. The princess of Hades, Shi Julan, is Shi Ling's heart, as long as Shi Ling is still in one day. People on the rivers and lakes want to move Liu Fan, and they have to consider the existence of the factor of Shiling, which is a clever move, at least it can reduce Liu Fan's pressure from the rivers and lakes. ”

"The Prince of Li back then, Ximen Zhong, was indeed a genius, if he was the one who ascended the throne back then, I would definitely fully support him. But there are some things that you and I can't control, and now his grandson is in trouble with the world, and the achievements he has won are even more impressive to me, but we also have rules in Wolong Villa, and we are only responsible for protecting the imperial tomb. Long Shou said in a heavy tone, to say that he has no feelings for this empire is a complete joke, when he was young, he also served in Ximen Zhong's army under a pseudonym, especially the reappearance of the Shenwu Army made Long Shou seem to have returned to the past, but it was no longer a person.

"The Northern Army is now led by Wang Jian as the commander, and the total strength is now less than 500,000 people, and they have to face the millions of Liangzhou troops with equally strong combat effectiveness. Their biggest difficulty is the lack of troops, and the Shenwu Army can now be said to be blooming all over the empire, although the achievements are not small, but the strength is too scattered. At present, the main force of the Shenwu Army is in Yizhou, and the enemy army entrenched in the territory of Yuzhou will be faced when it comes out of Yizhou, and the difference in strength is even greater, and there is no extra Liliang to support the operation of the Northern Army. ”

Long Yan nodded heavily, although he was trapped in Wolong Villa, he was very clear about the news from the outside world. Long Yan looked at the more than ten cavalrymen who were slowly walking towards Wolong Villa, and a faint expectation rose in his heart, he didn't know his father's past, if he knew, he could only strengthen his determination.

"The person who came this time must be from the Northern Army, but I don't know what the result of the first battle between the Northern Army and the Liangzhou Army was. Although the combat effectiveness of the Liangzhou Army is almost the same as that of the Shenwu Army, the gap between the two sides in terms of generals is very large, and the strength of the generals of the Shenwu Army is not comparable to the Liangzhou Army at all. The only place where the Liangzhou Army can defeat the Shenwu Army is that they have a steady stream of reserve troops on the Liangzhou Territory, and those aliens are now the strongest combat corps under Dong Zhuo's command. ”

"The Northern Army wants to block the pace of the Liangzhou Army going south, relying only on the little liliang in their hands is far from enough, in the absence of the support of other armies, we have become their only lifeline now, but they don't know that our Wolong Villa also has suffering now and can't say it. Long Shou's tone was suddenly full of helplessness, which made Long Yan, who was standing on the side, stunned. He had never found out that his father would say such a thing, although Wolong Villa did not have an army, but he had never been afraid of anyone in the past thousand years.

"Inform me that we are now closed to no guests, and if they come, let them go back. Long Shou's tone revealed helplessness, the empire could not step down, but he now did not have any extra liliang to support the northern legion of the Shenwu army. Wolong Villa is now also difficult to protect itself, compared to the empire, the imperial tomb is obviously more important in their hearts. (To be continued......)
