The beacon warning came.

Dingzhou chaos.

The entire city was in a state of high tension today, and at this moment, the demon soldiers attacked, and the surrounding twelve villages fell into panic. The city lord of Sun immediately made a decision and ordered the people of the twelve surrounding villages to withdraw into the city. Due to the civil strife in the counterinsurgency, the large troops of the Dingzhou army were transferred into the city, and there were only more than 1,000 people outside the city, so they could not stop these evil ghost soldiers at all.

Fortunately, the East Sentinel issued a warning in time, which bought them half an hour.

Otherwise, when the demon soldiers are killed, I am afraid that all 30,000 people outside the city will die.

The gong sounded loudly.

"There is an enemy attack, the four city gates of the east, west, north and south have been opened, and all the people obey the order and withdraw from the city gate into Dingzhou City nearby!"

The military order was passed down, and the people fell into panic.

They cried and rann, and ran to the gates, trying to enter the city as fast as they could. Once the demon soldiers arrive, they will be dead. Of course, there are also some people who are reluctant to pay for the gold and silver, pack up at home, and are dragged out of their homes by the soldiers.

The situation is urgent.

Four gates opened, but due to the large number of people and the time constraints, soon the gates were filled with people. There was no one lining up at all, and even the Dingzhou army, which maintained order, was scattered everywhere and could not do anything.

Soon, the demon soldiers were seven miles away.

The people of the surrounding villages have only entered less than 10,000 people.

At this rate, I am afraid that half of the people will not be able to enter the city.

Yuwen Tianlu stood in front of the bronze bird platform, staring at the demon soldiers in the distance.

Lord Sun said: "Metropolitan Governor, I'm afraid the situation is not good. ”

Five thousand Dingzhou troops were trapped in the city, and the people poured in and blocked the city gates, and the entire city was facing loss of control, and it was not easy to transfer them out of the city. Sun City Lord said: "My subordinates are derelict in their duties, and they should not transfer most of the soldiers and horses into the city. ”

Yuwen Tianlu said in a deep voice: "Now is not a matter of accountability, there are still a thousand soldiers and horses outside the city, order General Qin, gather the soldiers and horses, no matter what, we must delay a stick of incense to buy time for the people to enter the city." ”

"But they're afraid it's ......"

"They are military men and know what they are supposed to do. ”

The drums beat loudly, and the flags on the top of the city spread to the outside of the city.

Under the city.

"General Qin, the City Lord's Mansion has given an order. ”

Qin Jiang, the general of the Dingzhou Army, was originally Yuwen Tianlu's personal guard, followed him to Dingzhou, and was one of the three major generals of the Dingzhou Army. The other two were transferred to the city today to quell the turmoil, and he was the only one left outside the city, when he saw that the city lord's mansion asked them to strictly defend and block the evil ghost soldiers, Qin Jiang looked solemn and ordered: "The Snapdragon army listens to the order, gives the order, and all the soldiers and horses gather in the east of the city!"

The horn sounded.

The military order was soon issued, and the soldiers who had been maintaining order heard the horn and gathered like the east of the city, lined up in formation, forming a horn trend, and on the flanks were two hundred archers, ambushed at the high point.

In the distance, there was a lot of black pressure.

The demon soldiers marched extremely fast, without any formation, like mad beasts, rushing towards this side, and in the blink of an eye they were already three miles away.

"The Rolling Stones are in place!"

"Tung oil is in place!"

"The crossbowmen are in place!"

Qin Jiang said to everyone, "Erlang, we are soldiers, what is the duty of a soldier?"

"Obey orders!"

"It's to obey orders, but also to protect the safety of the people!"

"The Metropolitan Governor has given us an order to delay the other party no matter what. 100,000 soldiers and horses in the middle of the mountain have been defeated by us, will we be afraid of these thousand ghost soldiers?"

The crowd was speechless.

No matter how many enemies they had, they had encountered them, and they were by no means ambiguous, but the demon soldiers in front of them were not ordinary opponents at all. What happened in the city in the morning, they had heard that these people were not afraid of life and death, they were not afraid of pain, they only had to kill, one person could be worth thirty or forty people, and they really had no faith when they encountered these monsters.

Qin Jiang pointed to the people who were evacuating behind him, "There are a thousand enemies in front of us, 20,000 people behind us, our relatives, our friends, and our wives and daughters, as long as we take a step back, what awaits them will be a merciless slaughter, do you allow this to happen?"

"Never tolerate!"

"Retreating means death, resistance, there will be a glimmer of life! Then we will fight for Dingzhou City, fight for the Metropolitan Governor, and fight for the people behind us!

Everyone said in unison: "Fight to the death!"

Qin Jiang held a spear and stood at the forefront of the team.

On the city wall, there are Sun City Lord and military commanders commanding, and they have only one purpose, to delay time and buy time for the people to enter the city.

In the blink of an eye, the demon soldiers were a mile away.

More than 10,000 people were still hurrying into the city, and the cries, shouts, and cries of children came and went. The enemy was approaching, the people were more panicked, the army was lost to maintain order, and the people were agitated, and in order to enter the city first, there were even riots, which led to a slower entry into the city.

The 3,000 Dingzhou troops in the city have lined up, as soon as the people enter the city, or the demon soldiers attack, they will take up arms and fight to the death.

Gunsmoke was thick and cloudy.

Fear hung over the heads of the soldiers and civilians in Dingzhou.

Whines and roars came, making the battlefield even more depressing.

Baizhang ...... Fifty zhang ......

Enter the crossbow's attack range.

The flag was fluttering, and Qin Jiang ordered, "Release the arrow!"

Hundreds of arrows shot up from both flanks and shot at the demon soldiers.

Poof!

Dozens of demon soldiers were hit by arrows, but instead of retreating, they angered their blood even more. Dozens of arrows and demon soldiers rushed away like two sides, the speed was like a ghost, and in an instant, they rushed up the hill.

Screams rang out again and again.

Slaughter!

These demon soldiers, without blades, relied on their speed and brute strength to tear or slap the crossbowmen on both sides into pulp, and their severed limbs and stumps flew wildly, wailing all over the field. is even more ferocious, directly took off the head of the crossbowman, stood on the hill, held it in the air, and showed off to the Dingzhou army!

Where did the Dingzhou army encounter such a battle, they couldn't help but retreat one after another.

Qin Jiang said angrily: "You can't retreat." If we take a step back, the city will be destroyed. War is also death, retreat is also death, sooner or later we will die, then let our death be more valuable!" he said sharply: "Don't let us become sinners through the ages!"

The demon soldiers rushed thirty feet away.

"Rocket!"

Dozens of rockets were fired, and the rockets fell to the ground, igniting the tung oil that had been sprinkled on the ground.

Firelight!

The terrain here is low-lying, flanked by hills, although it is not high, but it happens to form a valley, Qin Jiang has already sprinkled hundreds of tung oil on the ground, they do not want to kill each other, as long as they delay time. The demon soldiers were afraid of fire, and the fire together stopped their tracks, and they stopped on the opposite side and let out a whining sound.

"Stone-throwing!"

On the top of the hill, the boulders that had been prepared for a long time rolled down one after another, rushing into the demon soldiers.

There was a boom.

The stone weighed 100 catties, and when it rolled down the slope of the mountain of five or six feet, it had accumulated enough strength when it reached the bottom of the valley, but the demon soldiers were in good shape, dodging the stone attacks in the valley, and even so, dozens of people still died under the huge impact of the stones.

It's just a pity that time was in a hurry, and they didn't prepare more stones.

A round of rolling rocks, although it caused chaos for them, did not bring more casualties.

Fortunately, it also delayed the half-burnt incense.

The bows and arrows and the stones were all gone, and the only thing that kept them in the way was the flames.

However, the tung oil is also gradually burned out.

Qin Jiang knew that once the fire was extinguished, they would be greeted by a fierce battle of life and death.

He glanced back at the city, and there were still five or six thousand people blocking the gate, and when they saw the demon soldiers attacking, they were even more confused, and even fought fiercely. Some even panicked, sat on the ground and began to cry.

Qin Jiang clenched the spear in his hand, the formation he had trained before, and facing these demon soldiers had no effect at all. Invulnerable, infinite strength, if it is hard to resist, thousands of people against thousands of people, they are afraid that they will not last for a stick of incense.

Thinking of this, he decisively ordered: "A group of ten, fight and retreat." ”

Fire extinguished.

With a strange roar, the demon soldiers charged. They fought on their own, with no cooperation to speak of, relying only on brute force.

Qin Jiang was the first to rush towards the evil ghost soldiers, but in just one round, he was slapped off his head by the evil ghost soldiers. Seeing this, the rest of the Dingzhou army was determined to live and die, as if they were not dying, they did not retreat but advanced, charging forward, trying to use the mountain of corpses and the sea of blood to stop the demon soldiers at the entrance of the valley.

Just to give the people who retreated behind, to fight for a moment.

The demon soldiers encountered resistance and became even more enraged.

A massacre without suspense.

Corpses littered the field.

In front of the bronze bird stage, Yuwen Tianlu was in a solemn mood.

From last night to now, he has been guarding in front of Tongque Terrace, guarding the Dingzhou Great Array. Now, after Dongfang Nuannuan and his people create chaos, they are lurking in the shadows, and the crisis is still not resolved. But in front of him, the Dingzhou army died in front of him one by one. He has long been experienced in a hundred battles, and he is not optimistic about life and death, but so many people have died one by one, and he is still very touched by it.

After entering the city, the people could not be evacuated in time, and the city gate was almost stagnant. Many people were crowded through the doorway, and it was almost impossible to move an inch.

Not to mention entering the city, when a thousand Dingzhou troops outside the city died, Dingzhou City could not even close the city gate.

If that were the case, a catastrophe would be inevitable.

The Dingzhou Great Array is to fight against the Heavenly Dao and cultivators, but these evil ghost soldiers are not cultivators at all, let alone borrow the true essence of heaven and earth, and the Dingzhou Great Array has no effect on them at all. That scene more than 20 years ago reappeared in his mind. In order to protect Zhao Lanjiang, he personally turned Dingzhou into a ghost town.

Is that

A stain on his life.

Because of this, Yuwen Tianlu, who felt guilty, spent tens of millions of taels of silver over the years to rebuild this city as the salvation of his life.

Today, Dingzhou City is once again facing a crisis.

And he had to make a choice.

Give up guarding the Dingzhou Great Array, or give up the people under the city.

Sun City Lord said: "Metropolitan Governor, the front has been lost, close the city gate." ”

Yuwen Tianlu shook his head, "Wait." ”

Wails abounded.

The demon soldiers rushed out of the valley.

The 1,000 Snapdragon army led by Qin Jiang was completely annihilated.

And in front of them, thousands of unarmed people, and four large open gates.

Yuwen Tianlu's expression was solemn, and all kinds of past things flashed in his mind. In his life, he is above board, but there are only three things that make him feel guilty.

In Hidden Yang City, he failed Si Yun Jiangxue. Si Yun Jiangxue once asked him to give up everything and take her away to fly away, but he was young and frivolous, and he said that when he became the first in the world and became a powerful minister of one dynasty, he was dressed in fresh clothes and angry horses, beating gongs and drums to marry her, but when 100,000 soldiers of the Western Expedition came to Yinyang, Si Yun Jiangxue was already married to a wife, so that Li Qiuyi picked up a golden knife in vain to scare away the cheap title of the evil king. It was the only defeat of his life, but he had no regrets. Even if he was later punished by Emperor Zhu Liye for delaying the fighter plane because of this incident, he never regretted it.

The other is his daughter Yuwenshuang. He has been fighting all his life and has made immortal achievements, but he lacks love for his daughter, which once made the relationship between father and daughter very tense. In order to get his father's affirmation and please him, Yu Wenshuang even took over Yixiaotang and participated in the battle of the rivers and lakes. But he knew that this daughter didn't like the rivers and lakes at all, and just wanted to have a beloved to spend this life with. So when he learned that his daughter was in love with Xiao Jinyan, he even went to Yinyang in person and walked with Xiao Jinyan for a period of time to inspect his conduct. I have to admit that my daughter's vision of picking a husband is really good. The only regret is that Xiao Jinyan's life experience is confusing, and he has the world in his heart, so he is more than an admirable hero, but he is slightly inferior to his daughter's husband. However, Yuwen Tianlu loves his daughter, and with Si Yunjiangxue's pain, he also respects his daughter's opinion.

The last one is this Dingzhou City.

In that year, 30,000 people in Dingzhou slaughtered the city, making him bear the name of "human slaughter". It was a last resort, but it has become a fact. For more than 20 years, he mobilized a lot of funds to rebuild Dingzhou City, for which he even did not hesitate to bear the stigma of selling officials, and the court impeached him for corruption and perversion of the law, Yuwen Tianlu was unmoved, because rebuilding Dingzhou City was his wish in the second half of his life, and it was also his salvation for himself.

And today, a thousand evil ghost soldiers are coming to the city, and Dingzhou is facing the biggest crisis since its reconstruction.

Seeing that Dingzhou City, which he built with his own hands, survived the catastrophe of the Heavenly Dao, and gradually got on the right track, was about to repeat the scene more than 20 years ago, how could Yuwen Tianlu sit idly by?

The city lord of Sun is like an ant on a hot pot, the evil ghosts are pressing, and the city gate is wide open.

If you are really cornered, there is only one way left.

When Dingzhou was rebuilt, in order to prevent the enemy from attacking the city, there were blocking stones hanging on each city gate, as long as the noose was released, four boulders of tens of thousands of catties would slowly fall, and the four city gates would be sealed, turning into a fortress with nowhere to attack. But now, there are still 5,000 people outside the city, and the gates are crowded with people.

Once the order is given to fall stones, hundreds of people will be crushed into pulp.

And the 5,000 people outside the city will also be the target of the demon soldiers.

City Lord Sun urged: "Metropolitan Governor, you can't resist it, give an order." ”

Yuwen Tianlu's expression was solemn, he remembered the scene of countless heads falling to the ground under the order back then, and it will be repeated today?

"Fetch my spear!"

City Lord Sun hurriedly said: "Don't! If you go down, you will be fierce and lucky, nine deaths and one life, the people of Dingzhou need you, and our city lord's mansion needs you." ”

Yuwen Tianlu has made up his mind.

He said to Sun City Lord: "Sun Sheng, this Dingzhou Great Array is entrusted to you to guard. ”

The spear was taken, Yuwen Tianlu held it in his hand, and said with a smile: "Brother, you were too bloodthirsty back then, and the frost was unlucky, I didn't seal the gun, so you were dirty, today, the old man let you drink it!"

One arm trembled slightly, and a dazzling light emitted from the body of the gun.

Yuwen Tianlu let out a long roar, jumped down from the top of the bronze bird platform, and stopped in front of the demon soldier.

The demon soldiers were shocked by Yuwen Tianlu's momentum and stopped one after another.

Behind Yuwen Tianlu, there are thousands of people, and there is a Dingzhou City.

In front of him, there are fierce demon soldiers.

Yuwen Tianlu held a gun with one arm and swung it in the air, and the light was out.

A line ten feet long and several feet deep lay ahead of him and the demon soldiers.

"Whoever crosses this line dies. ”
