Chapter 38: The Crisis of the Frontier Block

After breakfast early the next day, Yi Han and his party began to pack up. And Xiao Tianxing followed behind Nie Zixin and helped her organize her outfits.

Looking at Xiao Tianxing's happy appearance, Yi Han was both happy and embarrassed. Because Xiao Tianxing didn't sleep with him last night, but squeezed into the same bed with Nie Zixin and slept all night. Of course, this request was made by Nie Zixin, and Yi Han wanted to stop it at that time, but seeing Xiao Tianxing's happy face, and thinking that it was just two children, Yi Han agreed.

After packing all the bags, just when Xiao Tianxing was about to get on the horse with Yi Han, Nie Zixin said to Xiao Tianxing: "Tianxing, do you want to ride the same horse with your sister?"

Seeing Xiao Tianxing's expectant look, Yi Han had no choice but to take the lead and agree.

After getting Yi Han's consent, Xiao Tianxing ran to Nie Zixin's mount with a cheerful face. Without saying hello to Nie Zixin, Xiao Tianxing jumped directly on horseback.

Xiao Tianxing's obviously reckless behavior scared Nie Zixin a lot, because she and her horse usually didn't let anyone else touch it at all except herself. However, just when Nie Zixin thought that Xiao Tianxing would be thrown off the horse, her mount didn't have any intention of resisting or being unhappy. Instead, Xiao Tianxing stroked his fiery red mane excitedly, and at the same time showed a very obedient look.

Looking at the scene in front of her in confusion, Nie Zixin said with a smile; is worthy of the man I fancied, and even Huofeng (the name of the horse) was subdued. ”

Nie Zixin's fierce words immediately made Yi Han's feet empty. Seeing Yi Han's unnatural appearance, Nie Xia smiled a little embarrassedly and said, "Brother Yi Han, don't laugh, this girl Zixin is this kind of character." ”

After Xiao Tianxing got on the horse, Nie Zixin also got on the horse. Holding Xiao Tianxing in his arms, Nie Zixin kicked the stirrups with both feet, and the red horses rushed out immediately with a long roar.

"This girl is not bad, it seems that the days after Tianxing will not be boring!But when he grows up in the future, I'm afraid he will have to bear it!" sighed in his heart, Yi Hanfei shook his horse and chased after him from behind.

On the road between the fields, five horses and six men galloped at a gallop. Yi Han and his party had been hurrying for three days at the moment, and the reason why the group was so anxious was that Yi Han received the news of the tight war in the border fortress in a small city called Xiyuan three days ago.

After Xiyuan received the news, Yi Han discussed it with Nie Xia and the others, and then sped up the speed of hurrying. In the later rush of the road, Yi Han and the others always maintained a distance of 1,000 miles a day. This is also due to the fact that the mounts of several people are not ordinary horses, and if they were replaced by ordinary horses, I am afraid that they would have been exhausted to death. And it was in this non-stop rush that Xiao Tianxing's cultivation actually improved by a small step. This situation couldn't help but make Nie Zixin shout that she had found the right man.

As the largest frontier fortress in the north of the Western Qin Principality, the Hungarian Fortress has always played a very important role. On the outskirts of the Hungarian fortress is an endless steppe, and on this grassland live a nomadic tribe called the Hungarian tribe who live by herding.

From east to northeast of the Hungarian fortress, there is a hilly area of high and low heights. From the west to the northwest of the Hungarian fortress, there is a large mountain range that stretches for hundreds of miles. Due to the advantages of the terrain on both sides, the Hungarian fortress also became a very strong defensive fortress.

It is not difficult to hear from the name of the Hungarian fortress that the main defense of the fortress is the Hungarian people on the grassland. At the beginning of the founding of the Western Qin, wars between the Western Qin side and the Hungarian tribe often broke out in the Hungarian fortress. And the battle situation at that time was still very tragic.

However, Ling Zhi is indeed a good lord, and through his continuous efforts, the Western Qin Principality and the Hun clan have gradually moved towards peace in recent years. Later, in the hills seventy miles northeast of the Hungarian fortress, a small town called Yueyi Town was built, which was used as a stronghold for trading goods between the Western Qin side and the Hungarian people.

After the Western Qin and the Hun people established contact, the war between the two sides gradually decreased. Especially in the last four or five years, there have been very few conflicts between the Western Qin and the Huns. Even if there is a conflict, it is only because of some minor frictions in the transaction. However, as the manifestation of the soul became more and more serious, war came again.

At the beginning, the embodied souls did not make a move to attack the city, but because these embodied souls were all Western Qin soldiers and Hun people who had died in previous battles. So between these embodied souls, a great war broke out first. But halfway through the battle between the embodied souls, the embodied souls launched a surprise attack on the Hungarian fortress as if they were under some kind of control.

With the full start of the war, the souls of the dead beasts on the grassland and in the mountains actually joined the battle, and this time the Hun Tooth Fortress was completely plunged into chaos.

Just after the outbreak of a full-scale war in the Hungarian fortress, the Hungarian people on the steppe also lost news completely. And for those Hun people who fled to the Hungarian fortress, the city lord Ling Huxian also took in as many as possible.

As if falling from the sky overnight, a large number of demon spirits (embodied souls of humans) and soul beasts (embodied souls of wild beasts) appeared on the periphery of the fortress. This time, Yueyi Town in the northeast direction has also completely lost contact with the fortress.

The battle was non-stop, and at this moment every soldier in the Hungarian fortress was unusually tired. Although the demon soul can be scattered and destroyed, the demon soul has no pain and does not need to eat. But the soldiers of the fortress were real people, they would be in pain, hungry, afraid, and temporarily incapacitated by some injuries or illnesses. But what they couldn't accept the most was that among these besieging demon souls, there were still their partners and relatives who had died in battle. In this way, every soldier defending the city kept fighting with the demon spirits of the siege in this double torment of heart and body, gritting his teeth and not stopping.

Looking at the battle above the castle head, the defender general made Hu Xian's heart feel anxious, although he had already received a report from Nishihara five days ago that reinforcements were already on their way. However, Ling Huxian's heart was not easy at all, because Xiyuan City was still nearly six thousand miles away from here, and even if he hurried up, it would take at least ten days to arrive. However, based on the current situation, Ling Huxian estimated that the fortress would be breached in no more than three days. Because the border cities located on the east and west sides of the Humian Fortress have all been breached, and the demon souls that broke through the border cities have returned to the rear of the Hungarian Fortress, completely cutting off the road of communication in the rear.

On the sixth day of the fortress defense battle, Ling Huxian took several lieutenants to the top of the city. Looking at the dense demon souls and soul beasts outside the city, Ling Huxian gave an order to the six lieutenant generals behind him, and then took out the stainless steel long sword at his waist and led a few people to join the battle.

Waving the long sword in his hand kept knocking out the demon souls attacking the city, making Hu Xian gradually feel tired. Because no matter how many demon souls they kill, there will be the next wave of demon souls that will continue to fill up.

Although these demon spirits have been dead for many years, they were all battle-hardened warriors in their lifetimes. Although many memories have been lost after death, the instinct to fight is firmly engraved in their souls. This is what scares Fox Xian about these demon souls, and it almost makes people feel a sense of despair in the face of these demon souls who have been through a hundred battles but have no pain.

It was another sword that killed the three demon souls in front of him, which made Hu Xian's heart also tingle. Because it was the soldiers he had brought with him that he had broken up just now. Fear, helplessness, anger, at this moment, Ling Huxian didn't know what kind of feeling he felt in his heart. Forcibly suppressing the chaotic emotions in his heart, Hu Xian swung his long sword and continued to kill the demon souls who attacked the city.

"Roar!" An empty roar interrupted Ling Huxian's train of thought, and as he looked out of the city following the sound, Ling Huxian saw a saber-toothed tiger soul beast appear outside the city. Seeing this saber-toothed tiger soul beast, Ling Hu Xian's heart immediately tightened. Because with his strength of the ninth order of the Zhi Realm, he couldn't see the realm of this soul beast. And this situation can only show one problem, that is, the strength of this saber-toothed tiger soul beast is far above itself.

"Boom!" Before Ling Huxian could react in the shock of the saber-toothed tiger soul beast, there was a loud bang, and a giant python soul beast fifteen zhang long and two circles thicker than the water tank also appeared. And the most peculiar thing is that this giant python soul beast actually has two heads, and at the same time, Ling Hu Xian found that the strength of this giant python soul beast is far superior to that of the saber-toothed tiger soul beast.

Just as Ling Huxian looked at the two soul beasts that appeared outside the fortress with a solemn face, the figure of a demon soul also appeared above the head of the saber-toothed tiger soul beast. Seeing the appearance of this demon soul, Ling Huxian's pupils immediately shrank, and at the same time, a feeling of despair also surged into Ling Huxian's heart. It turned out that the person who appeared on the head of the saber-toothed tiger soul beast was his father Ling Hushuo, who died in battle ten years ago, and he was the supreme commander of the Hun Tooth Fortress at that time.

At this moment, Ling Huxian knew that no matter what strategy he used, it would be useless, because he knew that his father, who had now become a demon soul, knew everything about the situation in the Hun Tooth Fortress. And now Ling Huxian also understands why the two border cities of Hun Ya were breached, because those two border cities were built under the supervision of his father himself.

"Huh!" Just as Ling Huxian kept thinking, several eagle whistlings sounded in the air and interrupted his train of thought.
