Groups and columns of sergeants did not rush to attack the city, but stationed outside the city, camped, antlers, fences, tents, these facilities that the Han army was accustomed to using were all the facilities of the Di army.

Farther away, groups of vicious wolves and tigers walked back and forth on the periphery of the Di army, but they did not take the initiative to attack the Di people.

On the wide city walls of Longyang City, groups of villagers methodically transported rolling logs, boulders, and bricks to the city walls, and at intervals, there was a black iron army sergeant in full armor, holding a long and short sword.

The atmosphere inside and outside the city was tense and solemn.

Under each section of the city wall, there are several villagers boiling hot porridge and steaming steamed buns, but there are spare oil pots and buckets of grease next to them. Dry firewood is piled up.

In Longyang City, there are hundreds of wide streets and squares, and there are dozens of tables and chairs lined up in each place, and some men dressed as Confucian scholars or Mr. Account are busy registering, while others are distributing goods.

Men and women lined up in front of the tables, some were registering their names, some were receiving supplies, whether men or women, as long as they participated in the defense of the city, they could get a lot of money every day, and they could receive free hot porridge and steamed buns.

In the crowd, an old man with white hair and a straight body stood out, looking at the wrinkles on his face and the sparse gray hair, he was at least seventy or eighty years old, and his white-washed gray cloth shirt was marked with a few inconspicuous small patches.

Whether it is in front of the old man or behind, they are all strong men under the age of thirty. They were all righteous men who wanted to participate in the defense of the city, but the old man stood in the middle of this group of young people. The people nearby pointed at him, but the old man didn't seem to see him.

If it is aquatic. must have known that this person was the old master Jiang who he saved in the Wan'an Zhenjiang.

Finally, the people in front of Old Master Jiang had all been registered, and a Confucian student who helped to register looked up at Old Master Jiang and said with a smiling face: "Old man, you are so old, how can you go to the city wall to defend the city? With that, he pointed to a group of women queuing up next to him.

Hear that. Old Master Jiang was full of anger, his lips trembled and said: "A husband, how can he be in the same stream with women and children, although the old man is old, but he also has a few catties of strength, when he was helped by immortals, although he was eighty years old, he was not deaf and blind, why can't I go up to the city wall? Quickly register me." Don't be verbose!"

When the Confucian student heard the word "immortal" come out of Old Master Jiang's mouth, he trembled in his heart, didn't dare to say more, and asked, "How do you call the old man?"

"Jiang Zhongping. Old Master Jiang said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

Old Master Jiang registered his name. Without even collecting a large amount of money, he was about to walk away, when a woman in her thirties and forties, panting in the distance, ran over. grabbed Old Master Jiang and looked left and right. He whispered reproachfully, "Father, what are you doing here to make a fuss?" How can you do this errand if you are really idle, you should go with me to the city wall to distribute porridge and food. ”

Old Master Jiang frowned, and said: "Yun Niang, you have read the sage books with me for more than ten years, how can you have the same opinion as these profit-seeking people? Look at it, you see, these strong men receive a string of big money every day, but one by one they are like women, hiding under the city to make fires and cook, make porridge and give food, and are unwilling to go to the city wall to defend the city, so who will resist the tiger and wolf army outside the city?"

As he spoke, his voice grew louder and louder, and he stretched out his right hand and pointed and poked at the young men who were handing out items.

Hearing this, the faces of those young men suddenly couldn't hold back, and they all turned red, and even the men who were registering couldn't sit still.

Not far away, Zhou Jinpeng, Luo Xiuying, and Wang Mengfan happened to walk by here, and when they heard this, they couldn't help but glance at Old Master Jiang.

Old Master Jiang suddenly had a trace of anger on his face, and said loudly: "What do you see, the three of you are strong and strong, and you still carry a bow and arrow, carrying a steel fork, and you don't go to the city wall to guard, what are you wandering around here?"

"Father, what are you making a fuss about? This is Lord Wang, the envoy appointed by General Tieyi to patrol the city, and all the righteous men in the city are under the jurisdiction of Lord Wang. Yun Niang whispered, pulling Old Master Jiang to the side as she spoke.

"Why don't you wear official robes? Where do you get your majesty without official robes, how can you control the people? It's really unbelievable!" Old Master Jiang's lips trembled, the anger on his face was even stronger, he broke free from Yun Niang, and said stubbornly.

Wang Mengfan stroked his long beard, smiled slightly, and said: "What the old man taught me is that the student is abrupt, and this official robe will be found immediately." ”

Several young men who were handing out large amounts of money on the side couldn't stand their faces, and one of them, a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy, threw down the copper coins in his hand, strode up to the person who registered the book, and said, "Uncle Zhu, I also want to go to the city wall, and you can ask for another master for the errand here." ”

After that, he walked towards Old Master Jiang, raised his face, and said, "Old man, I am not a bad seed, I will go with you to defend the city." ”

"Okay, the old man is already eighty-six, and he is not even afraid of the old man of Hades, but he is still afraid of Di Ren? ”

"Go, go, whoever doesn't go is a bad seed!" another man threw a few large coins into the basket and beckoned to a few people beside him.

Several other men looked at Old Master Jiang and Wang Mengfan, some hesitated, some were in a dilemma, but Zuihou left their messengers one after another and followed Old Master Jiang towards the city wall in the distance.

Yun Niang opened her mouth, not knowing what to say, her face showed a trace of anxiety and worry, and when she saw Old Master Jiang walking away, she stomped her feet and strode over.

Zhou Jinpeng, Luo Xiuying and his wife glanced at each other, and their faces sank.

Zhou Jinpeng pointed to the back of Old Master Jiang and said: "Brother Wang, an elderly man can go to the city wall to defend the city and kill the enemy, my wife and I are young and strong, but they accompany you to walk around the city, it is really not possible, in this way, you please be smart, my wife and I want to go to the city wall to see if this Di man has three heads and six arms." ”

After that, without waiting for Wang Mengfan to speak, he gave a salute to him with a fist, and pulled Luo Xiuying away.

"Brother Zhou, Sister Xiuying, what are you two kidding, things always have to be prioritized, when the two of you came, how did Brother Tieyi tell you two?"

Wang Mengfan's face was full of anxiety, just in the midst of the chaos, he was a scholar, he had no power to restrain the chicken, and no one was to protect him, wouldn't it be extremely dangerous for this "city patrol envoy" to do.

Luo Xiuying didn't look back, waved the iron-tired longbow in his hand, and said: "You can ask Gao Ming, back then, my father was injured in the hands of the Di people, and now, my daughter-in-law was bitten to death by the evil wolf of the Di people, such a big revenge, how can I not revenge it, I want them to return it a hundred times and a thousand times, you tell Tie Yi, he can kill the enemy, and my wife can also kill the enemy?"

Wang Mengfan watched the two walk away in a daze, shook his head, and showed a wry smile on his face.

Four hundred miles west of Longyang City, in a dense forest, Sun Yi, Qin Hu, and Qin Leopard were anxiously looking into the distance, and behind them, five thousand soldiers in black iron armor were sitting or standing, but none of them spoke, only the military horses hidden in the dense forest would make some small sounds of chewing grass.

A black light flashed in the distance, and the aquatic and black tigers appeared in the sky, and in the blink of an eye, they were in front of everyone. Seeing the black tiger, there was a commotion in the military horses in the distance, and the soldiers hurriedly got up to pacify.

Shui Sheng jumped off the tiger's back, his eyes swept over the faces of the three people, smiled faintly, and said: "Let's go, leave all the baggage and materials here first, the soldiers are fast, and before the time tonight, take Yanling Pass." ”

The Di army set up camp outside Longyang City, and has not made any siege moves, but the Yanling Pass that has just been captured has been strangely lost, and the 10,000 defenders were killed by the sergeants who came out of nowhere, and the five beast witches stationed in the army, except for a person who practiced qi at the seventh level, escaped, and the other four all fell.

When this person fled in a hurry, he didn't even see the enemy's face clearly, only knowing that the 10,000-strong army was killed by a group of black-clothed and black-armored soldiers, and the four fellow soldiers were killed by two silver sword magic weapons.

In the big tent of the Chinese army of the Di people, Kui was angry, since the expedition, he had never suffered such a defeat, and only 20,000 black iron troops dared to split a part of the sneak attack on Yanling Pass, it seems that it is really not good to not give Tie Yi a little look.

Military orders continued to come out of the big tent of the Chinese army.

Not long after, the golden drums outside Longyang City sounded the horn in unison, shouting and killing sounded into a loud voice, the Di army that was originally only good at riding and shooting, after occupying Bingzhou and Yanzhou, after more than 20 years of recuperation, actually learned to erect a ladder to attack the city, and it was decent.

At the same time, 30,000 Di army iron horsemen galloped towards Yanling Pass.

It is impossible for General Iron Wing to take all the 20,000 Black Iron Army for a sneak attack, at most half of them will be dispatched, and Kui Huan will never tolerate this small group of Black Iron Army moving behind him and letting himself be exposed to the enemy.

Between Longyang City and Yanling Pass, a place where the army must pass, in the dense forests on both sides, the black iron army led by Sun Yi, Qin Hu, and Qin Bao was waiting for it. When attacking Yanling Pass, Shui Sheng and Ming Hao secretly shot and killed the generals and several beast witches stationed in Yanling Pass in advance, and under the leaderless group of dragons, the five thousand Black Iron Army easily succeeded in sneak attack, and after a killing, only lost less than 200 people.

With the divine consciousness of the aquatic life, the black tiger and the bright hao, the 30,000 iron horsemen from the direction of Longyang City were still forty or fifty miles away from the dense forest, and they had been discovered.

A killing unfolded again, first with wave after wave of dense arrow rain, and then, Sun Yi, Qin Hu, and Qin Leopard led the crowd to kill. Jingchen and Sun Qianjun also threw themselves into the killing according to Shui Sheng's orders, specifically dealing with the generals in the Di army.
