209 sits at the border

The dozens of important ministers in the county lord's mansion had long been shocked by the iron-blooded and ruthless purge in front of them.

They saw a reality clearly, Xingzhou County has changed.

In the past, Wang Lin was the lord of the county, and Zhao Taishi sat in the county lord's mansion to assist the county lord. But now, a mysterious monk surnamed Ye has appeared, and everything has changed after a private meeting with the county lord and the princess.

Wang Lin and Zhao Taishi completely looked at his face and acted, calling him uncle, respectful.

He was called Uncle Shi by Lord Wang Lin and Taishi Zhao, what kind of identity was that? In the Ulan Empire, there were a few people who were so noble!? Only the second-generation true monks of the Heavenly Void Immortal Sect were qualified to be called Uncle Shi by the two.

There were also more than a dozen monks in the county lord's mansion, looking at Ye Chen's eyes, they were like gods. Almost all of them were small scattered cultivators, and the Heavenly Void Immortal Gate was too distant and mysterious for them.

At the suggestion of this monk surnamed Ye, and the acquiescence of Lord Wang Lin, Taishi Zhao killed a great general in one go, Shang Shu, Taiwei, Taifu, and three monks who were suspected of being traitors.

The heads of the four civil and military ministers hung outside the council hall, and the rest of the ministers were stunned, and no one dared to oppose the order of the county lord.

This Ye monk does not need to disagree, he just needs to follow orders.

The two orders issued by the county lord Wang Lin were all carried out unimpeded.

The ministers did not dare to object, and the petty officials below did not dare to slack off in the slightest.

All the generals went to the battlefield, commanded the 100,000 soldiers and horses stationed in Xingzhou City, and set off to support Zhennanguan, an important border town in Xingzhou County. The monks and guests in the county lord's mansion marched with the army to defend against the assassins.

At the same time, the Wenchen and a large number of people in Xingzhou County also began to migrate on a large scale to other states and counties of the Ulan Empire.

Ye Chen was not idle, he took out the Wanli Transmission note, wrote down the situation of the Earth Flame Mountain, and passed it to Wang Ying, Xu Ping, and other four second-generation true disciples of the Tianxu Sect who were in the Ulan Imperial Capital, and summoned them to come to Xingzhou County to support.

"Uncle Shi, what are you going to do next?"

After Lord Wang Lin issued the order, the rest of the civil and military ministers went to carry it out, and she didn't need to ask in person. She, the county lord, had nothing to do for a while.

"Go to Zhennanguan, the 200,000 troops of Xingnanguo will attack Zhennanguan, and I will go to see what the situation is. ”

Ye Chen said quietly.

Zhennan Pass is very crucial, if this pass is breached, and the commander of the Xingnan army drives straight into Xingzhou County, his previous efforts to deploy troops and defend will all be in vain.

However, he soon discovered a minor trouble. After Zhao Zhen was sent by him to the Heavenly Void Immortal Gate, Wang Lin did not have a monk with enough strength beside him to protect him. Wang Lin is a member of the Ulan royal family, guarding Xingzhou County, and there can be no accidents.

"Let's go together!"

"Good!"

Wang Lin smiled, she went back to the mansion to change into a delicate women's chain mail, and then immediately took a guard crossbow cavalry composed of a hundred elite warriors from the county lord's mansion, and rushed to Zhennan Pass with Ye Chen.

Ye Chen did not fly with the sword, and also rode there.

However, horseback riding does not delay time. Because Xingzhou City is only more than 200 miles away from Zhennan Pass, the cavalry can reach it in one day and night, and the speed is very fast. Their cavalry squad arrived at Zhennanguan earlier than the 100,000 troops in Xingzhou City.

Of the 200,000 troops in Xingzhou County, 100,000 were stationed in Xingzhou City, 50,000 were stationed in Zhennanguan, and some troops were scattered in various small counties in the county to resist the rebellious people.

Xingzhou City is deeply stationed with heavy troops, and Zhennan Pass is also an important place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the rebellious soldiers can only harass those counties with weak defense

Zhennan Pass.

A continuous hill at the junction of Xingzhou County and Xingnan State of the Ulan Empire, the only important pass town, there are 40,000 or 50,000 defenders of the Ulan State on weekdays, and more than 10 generals. ...,

Ye Chen and the other cavalry squads rushed all the way. On the way, he encountered large and small groups of disaster victims and grass robbers from time to time, but no disaster victims grass cowards dared to attack this elite crossbow cavalry warrior squad of 100 people without long eyes.

When they arrived at Zhennan Pass, they heard the sound of fighting from afar.

The armies of the two countries are apparently engaged in a fierce battle under the Zhennan Pass.

Ye Chen and the others came to Zhennan Pass, and Wang Linjun ordered the city gate to be opened and entered the Zhennan Pass.

Then they hurried to the head of the city where the fierce battle was taking place at Zhennan Pass.

Thousands of archers in black leather armor were shooting arrows at the enemy troops wearing Heonnam armor below the city, while swordsmen and pikemen were desperately slashing and slashing the enemy troops rushing to the city.

A general who was guarding the city was armed with a big sword, wearing heavy armor and covered in blood, and when he saw Wang Lin, the county lord with a group of elite soldiers coming to the border pass and ascending to the top of the city, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and hurriedly bowed, and shouted in a hoarse voice, "Minister Wang Hong, knock to see the county lord!"

After receiving the news of the enemy's attack, the lord of this county has already ordered the mobilization of soldiers and horses from Xingzhou City to come to support. It's just that the county is worried about the safety of Zhennanguan, so it came first, and the army will arrive soon. How's the military situation now?"

Wang Lin helped him up and asked.

"Lord Yu, the battle situation is very tight. The day before yesterday, Xingnanguo suddenly transferred 200,000 troops and attacked Zhennanguan in turns. In just two days, there were no less than 20,000 or 30,000 enemy corpses under the city alone. Our defenders also suffered heavy losses, with nearly 10,000 casualties.

Weichen originally thought that they were testing my border pass, and if they couldn't attack it, they would leave. But now it seems that they are determined to win and capture Zhennan Pass at any cost. If there are no reinforcements in Zhennan Pass, I am afraid that the city will be broken in a few days. Wei Chen had never seen the Xingnan army so crazy! However, the county lord came to the border in person, which could boost morale more than reinforcements!"

When General Wang talked about the siege of the city by the army of Xingnan, his face was still full of horror.

"How can the casualties of two to one be so high?"

"The 200,000 troops of the Xingnan Kingdom are all elite soldiers, and many of them are soldiers above the third level of warriors. Much stronger than the defenders of Nanguan in my town. ”

"Don't worry, the defenders of Xingzhou City will be able to come over for reinforcements within two days. How much military supplies are left in the pass?"

Lord Wang Lin and General Wang talked about the detailed military situation.

Ye Chen applied a protective shield to himself and came to the city head of the battle alone.

I saw that on a field below the city, there was a military camp and a non-commissioned soldier army formation of the Xingnan Kingdom that could not be seen at a glance.

Tens of thousands of soldiers of the Xingnan Kingdom held leather shields, covered dozens of heavy crashing vehicles, and carried hundreds of ladders to climb the city, rushing to the head of Xingnan Pass to attack the city.

The archers at the top of the city were shooting arrows downward, and hot oil pans were pouring down, and huge trees were smashing down. The screams under the city came and went. But this still couldn't stop the crazy onslaught of the Xingnan army, and even brave high-level warriors attacked the head of the city and fought hand-to-hand with the high-level warriors on the head of the city.

Under the city, enemy archers are also shooting frantically at the city.

From time to time, the defenders of the city were shot and fell.

Thousands of arrows flew into the sky, and the sound of killing shook the sky.

Occasionally, an arrow hit Ye Chen, but it was bounced off by his protective cover.

Ye Chen stood on the head of the city with his hands in his hands and watched.

The chaotic battlefield at the head of the city, with ordinary arrows and knife hilts, poses no threat to him.

Ye Chen frowned slightly, his gaze flashed with a mana aura, and he could vaguely see a thick blood enveloping the entire Zhennanguan battlefield, sandwiched by the violent ghosts of tens of thousands of fallen soldiers, making him a little impetuous.

He was surprised. As a foundation building monk, he actually felt uncomfortable and uneasy in the face of this strong blood

At sunset, the Xingnan army attacked Zhennan Pass for a full day, but failed, leaving nearly 10,000 corpses, and finally retreated and returned to the military camp of Xingnan more than ten miles away from Zhennan Pass. ..., only a few scattered enemy soldiers, who were picking up and pulling away the corpses of the fallen soldiers piled up under the hill under the head of the city for burial.

The Ulan defenders at the head of the city were also exhausted, so they seized the time to rest and let them take back the corpses under the city. The Ulan defenders also had a large number of wounded soldiers in need of treatment.

Ye Chen always stood at the head of Zhennan Pass, looking at the soldiers and corpses that were transported away like ants under the city, and his heart was silent.

More than ten years ago, he was still a student at the Beilu Academy of Wuguo, a small country in Yunzhou. His biggest expectation at that time was only to become a high-level martial artist, become a member of the martial arts country, enter the imperial court, and serve the country.

If everything goes on normally, he will become a high-level martial artist and make meritorious contributions to killing enemies on the battlefield of the Martial Kingdom.

If you die on the battlefield, you don't need to say much.

If you don't die and make military achievements, you will be a wife and a son, enjoy the glory and wealth of the world, return to your hometown, and then your children and grandchildren will be full and gradually grow old.

But by chance, he got the ancient painting scroll of the Immortal Mansion, and because he followed the Lord of Wulingxiang to Tianwu Immortal Yuan City, he embarked on the road of cultivating immortals and became an immortal cultivator in the Qi refining period.

In just more than ten years of hard work, he successfully built the foundation, and now as an envoy of Tianxu Inspector, he has traveled to various parts of Yunzhou to experience and inspect secular countries, and has been able to turn his hands into clouds and rain and control the fate of a secular empire.

However, looking at the corpses scattered all over the city, he did not feel the slightest joy.

Of course, there was no sadness in his heart.

Such a conquest has never stopped for a day on this Kyushu continent. Either it is a conquest between secular kingdoms, or a conquest under the control of the immortal gate. Even in the future, the conquest of the Kyushu Continent's immortal cultivation realm and the East China Sea Demon Clan.

The scramble never subsided.

Perhaps the second-generation true disciples of the Xianmen Sect went out to practice and inspect the countries of Yunzhou, hoping that the disciples would get used to such a conquest as soon as possible.

Wang Lin saw that Ye Chen was looking at the battlefield, thinking about something, but he didn't bother.

Until it was getting dark, she saw that Ye Chen was still in the city, so she took a team of personal soldiers and said, "Uncle Shi!"

Ye Chen suddenly heard a voice behind him, woke up from his contemplation, looked back and saw Wang Lin, nodded and smiled.

"Uncle Shi, the 50,000 defenders of Zhennan Pass should be able to hold on for two or three days against the 200,000 army of Xingnan Kingdom. After the 100,000 troops of Xingzhou City arrive tomorrow, the 200,000 soldiers and horses of Xingnan Kingdom under the city will not be afraid! After the soldiers and horses of the three major counties of Wulan rush to support, even if the whole army of Xingnan Kingdom is attacked by one million, it will not be able to capture this town of Nanguan. ”

Wang Lin looked at Ye Chen, and said with a bit of reverence in his eyes. If it weren't for Ye Chen's iron-blooded order to transfer troops, the time was just one step ahead of Xingnanguo's action and he got the first opportunity, and the current situation would probably be completely opposite, falling into passivity step by step.

"It's hard to say. Xingnan Kingdom came to attack on a large scale at any cost, which shows that more than the second generation of monks from Baihuomen must be in that military camp to supervise the army to attack Zhennan Pass. If the monks of the Fire Gate make a move, this town Nanguan will not be able to hold it for a day. ”

Ye Chen shook his head and said.

"There are a lot of foundation monks? Will they do it?"

Wang Lin was taken aback.

She knew that the power of immortals was by no means something that ordinary soldiers could resist. Especially for monks above the foundation building period, it is easy to fly into the sky and take the head of the general. If the generals are killed, no matter how many soldiers there are, they will fall apart.

"I don't know. Can only be gambled. The monks who gambled on the Fire Gate believed that without their own action, the soldiers and horses of Xingnan Kingdom alone could capture this Zhennan Pass in a short time. If the secular soldiers and horses of the Xingnan Kingdom can capture Zhennan Pass, the monks of the Fire Gate will not attack easily. ”

Ye Chen smiled bitterly.

The truth is simple, just like himself. If the defenders of Zhennan Pass could hold it, he would not bother to kill the generals of Xingnan Kingdom.

"Don't worry, I've already summoned several other Heavenly Void Patrol Envoys with the Ten Thousand Miles Transmission Note. They can rush to Zhennanguan to support soon!"
