"Jizong, you go back to the village immediately, and take someone to hide the treasures in the secret vault, those things are useful to Xingzhu, after hiding them, you will go to Xingzhu and don't go back to the village. "Ruan Jizu has already thought about it on the way back to the inn.

"Then you and your sister-in-law?" Ruan Jizong did not leave immediately, a little hesitant.

"If the village is going to suffer a catastrophe, it doesn't make much difference if you are not there, and I am the patriarch who has to face it, and as for your sister-in-law, I have my own arrangements. Ruan Jizu saw through his brother's thoughts.

"Big brother, take care, I will definitely hand over the things in the secret vault to Xingzhu!" Ruan Jizong hugged his brother tightly before resolutely turning around and leaving.

Ruan Jizu looked at his wife affectionately, took her hands, and said, "Guo Ning, you have to live a good life with your daughter in the future." I can't let you suffer with me anymore, I'll send you to Jiang's house, and then you will go to her when Xingzhu is a teacher. ”

"Do you want to leave me alone again? How can the Ruan family ask their children and grandchildren like this? You take the people from the village with you, I can suffer wherever you want, as long as the whole family is together. Ruan Xingzhu's mother, Guo Ning, had tears in her eyes.

"The Ruan family has already escaped once, we can't hide like this forever, this time let me make decisions for the Ruan family, I can't live upright, I will die with my clansmen vigorously.

Our daughter has a future, and she can bring hope to the family. I left with my family's past to put my hope on Xingzhu and Jizong. You have an important responsibility, you must find a fertile woman for Jizong and continue the bloodline of the Ruan family. Ruan Jizu hugged his wife and said.

After the couple left Xiaxi Town, they went straight to Iron Gall City.

The Zhongdi First Army in Zhongwangzhou was finally assembled in Weiguo County, because it was next to Nannuma Prefecture, and the Gongsun family had to provoke the girder of the local army.

The 1st Army Corps of Zhongdi crossed the border between Zhongwangzhou and Nannuma Prefecture that night, and the whole army entered Nannuma Prefecture, and if everything went well, it should be able to reach the war zone in less than ten days.

When the forward fleet of the Eighth Army arrived at Xijiang Water Village, another bad news came from Shuanglong City, and the warships of the Qi State appeared on the surface of the Tongyuan River in this section.

The naval warships of Cao and Qi had no intention of storming Shuanglong City, but kept crossing the middle line of the Tongyuan River and cruising in the waters belonging to the Shaodian Kingdom, stimulating the nerves of the city lord Long Yuan.

The 14th Army Corps, which had been stationed near Shuanglong City, had moved south, and it was the 121st Division of the 13th Army Corps that had rushed to take over their defense area, and the division commander Long Zhiduo accompanied Long Yuan to watch the situation on the river.

"Fight or not, go and don't go, what do you say they want to do?" Long Yuan asked Long Zhiduo.

"Their target is Nannuma Prefecture, not us, and if they want to open up a battlefield in Yangyuan Prefecture, it is estimated that they will not have enough troops. The number of ships that have appeared is at most the same as the strength of Lianbakou and Maoerwan Water Village, and it seems that they want to cause some trouble for the Eighth Army Corps crossing the border. ”

"Blocking the way of the Eighth Legion? What can people do with this, they don't see any other role than adding to the Eighth Legion's military exploits. "Long Yuan has fought side by side with the Eighth Legion, and he knows very well the power of the ace legion of the Shaodian Kingdom.

"They wouldn't be afraid to come if they were on land, but it's on the water, maybe it's why they want to try it. Long Zhiduo speculated.

"If that's the case, then it's none of our business, they don't clean up, whether it's on the ground or on the water, the Eighth Legion is not easy to mess with. A relaxed smile appeared on Long Yuan's face.

Bad news came from the Jinping County Theater, three cities near the riverside were captured by Cao's army, and the main force of Cao's army was approaching the county seat; the reinforcements of the 11th Army Corps were still two days away from the county seat, and the 114th and 115th divisions of the 12th Army Corps had returned to the defense, ensuring the safety of the county for the time being.

Di Tanglong, who retreated to Yanling County, waited for his main force, the 113th, 116th, and 117th Divisions, plus the 119th Division stationed in Yanling County, and more than 10,000 people who had retreated last time, and he had more than 50,000 troops on hand.

Di Tanglong, who had a lot of people, was not idle, on the one hand, he contacted the branch of the Magicians Guild of Nanmarsh Prefecture and asked to send a forbidden magician to support him, and on the other hand, he sent more than a dozen small troops to attack the supply line of the Meng army.

Before receiving the help of the Forbidden Magician, Di Tanglong did not dare to fight the Meng Army head-on, and only the main legion had sixth-level combat power, such as the Great Martial Master, the Great Archer, the Forbidden Magician, or the Juggernaut Knight.

Due to the critical situation in Nanqiu County, the Twentieth Army Corps transferred three more divisions to support, and only in the depths of winter could they transfer more troops to support the war zone.

The defense of Nanqiu County lasted for three days, and more than half of the defenders in the city were lost, and there was despair among the people. Although they didn't know the news of Di Tanglon's defeat, the news that the three legions appeared outside the city could not be hidden, how could a small county town withstand an army of 300,000.

Zhang Xun took his tired body to inspect the head of the giant sheep city wall, the fortifications on the city wall were dilapidated, the defenders who were still sticking to the city wall were basically wounded, and less than half of the Shaodian flag was left in the air.

"Father, the arrows in the armory have been emptied, the city lord's mansion has been emptied, the available stones in the city have been exhausted, all the fire oil pits have been depleted, and our long-range attacks are about to stop. Zhang Xun's eldest son, Zhang Li, came to report.

"Well, the straw man's method of borrowing arrows can no longer be used, Meng Junxue obediently shoots rockets, and the archers are all changed to infantry; let the craftsmen in the city work harder, melt all the iron tools that are not used into iron, and replace the stones for the catapults; let all the shield-breaking knights gather together to deal with the approaching magicians, and only they have the deterrent power left." Zhang Xun patted his son on the shoulder and said.

"Can't the big families in the city tear down their houses? Zhang Li said angrily.

Zhang Xun said sternly: "The kingdom sent me here to govern and defend this city, not to let me demolish the house, if people don't want to, I can't force it." You have memorized for me, if you become the lord of the city in the future, you must not force the people to do what they do not want to do!"

At this time, there were less than 2,000 defenders in Giant Sheep City who could still fight, and the fierce general Qi Nan was attacked by a magician in yesterday's battle, his left arm was useless, and only one hand was left to fight. After a long time of no reinforcements, there began to be talk of surrender in the city, believing that they had held out long enough and that they had been abandoned by the kingdom.

The commander of the Third Army of the Meng State admired Zhang Xun very much, and he used ten times the strength of the opponent to storm this small city for eight days without taking it, all because of Zhang Xun's changeable tactics, watertight defense, heroic bravery, and good at taking advantage of the situation to condense the will of the whole city to defend to the death.

However, the Mongol base camp was greatly dissatisfied with the slow progress of the Third Army, and the newly assembled Fourth Army Corps had arrived by ship to take over the Third Army. Just wait for the Fourth Army to land, and the Third Army will attack the Hump Mountain Pass with all its might, and it will not be able to continue to stay and fight against the Giant Sheep City.

The situation at the Hump Mountain Pass is much better than that of Juyang City, after all, it is only one side of the enemy, Yan Xun did not get more reinforcements, but the military supplies are still continuously transported from the rear, plus the support of the magician, in the face of the strong attack of the Meng army of the three divisions, it is still well defended.

With the passage of time, the progress of the Meng and Cao coalition forces in the Nanqiu County Theater and the Jinping County Theater, Juyang City and Hump Mountain Pass gradually lost their strategic importance, once Nanqiu County was captured, in order to avoid being attacked on the back of the enemy, Hump Mountain Pass had to retreat. That is to say, these two places will not be able to wait for reinforcements, unless the six legions on the way to the war zone suddenly parachute into the war zone.

Yan Xun saw the large number of people who had escaped from Giant Sheep City, knowing that he could take the trail to Meng Jun's body, and he was ruthless, but he couldn't distinguish his troops, so he could only absorb the two hundred city defense troops of Giant Sheep City, and requisitioned these people who knew the way, leaving them to be useful in the future.

Yu Zhong led the fleet of the 75th Division to join the Xijiang Shuizhai Naval Army, and at this time he was full of emotion, "Captain Fan, you saved me here at the beginning, but I didn't expect us to return here in just a few years." ”

"It was your chief guard who saved you, and your subordinates didn't dare to be greedy. Fan Yuzhen never forgot the two guards who sent Yu Zhong to her ship, and the group of comrades-in-arms who sank with the "Xijiang".

"Alas, the revenge of the day Yu will be avenged in person! Send a signal to the sailors of Xijiang Shuizhai and ask them to speed up, and we must rush to Nannuma Prefecture as soon as possible. Yu Zhong appeared more confident on the river, which is why the Legion made him a striker.

On the outskirts of the south of the town, Shao Dianjian personally went out of the city and met with the commanders of the Lindi First Army and the Lindi Second Army on the avenue outside the city, "The battle situation is urgent, and I don't need you to see me in the city, I just hope that you will hurry to the war zone and don't delay the battle on the front line." ”

The Zhongwang Prefecture Pastor wanted to drive people out and urge the local legions in Linhai Prefecture to speed up. The situation in Nannuma Prefecture is erosive, and the first one to be affected must be Zhongwangzhou, not to mention that the enemy army is coming, it is enough to say that the fleeing people are enough to give Shaodian a headache.

The knights' guilds all over the country have briefings about the war, and the city of Autumn Twilight is far away, and the briefings are about the early days of the war. Ding Kui looked at it, the Eighth Army Corps, which had something to do with him, was still very far away from the war zone, and the conscription in Zhongwangzhou was not the turn of Xiaxi Town, so he was more concerned about his breakthrough.

The fighting spirit of the sixth meridian in Ding Kui's body was full, and the bottleneck of the seventh meridian had slowly loosened under his repeated impacts, and he was sure that he would be able to advance to the Shield Breaking Knight before the New Year.

Before the age of seventeen, he entered the ranks of shield breakers, which is rare in the history of the Hou family, and the most recent one is the famous Ding Zhen. Ding Dao left all the things in the outside world behind, and stepped up the cultivation of the "Qi Transformation into a Dragon Technique".

According to the order of the knights' cultivation, the seventh meridian is the Foot Sun Bladder Meridian, which is a meridian that passes through the Baihui. Ding Kui didn't know that he was facing a great danger, his fighting spirit had to go through a hundred meetings where magic often came and went, and if he was not careful, it would lead to a conflict between his fighting spirit and magic power, ranging from confusion to death with a headshot.
