Volume Four, Three Southern Counties, Chapter 404, Shaking the Military Heart
With the support of a large amount of training materials, more than ten warriors with strength exceeding 100,000 kilograms appeared in the Iron Blood Camp.
At the same time, most of the warriors in the Iron-Blooded Battalion have risen to one or two levels in strength.
As of the evening of the next day, there were a total of 302 sixth-grade warriors, 1,674 seventh-grade warriors, more than 17,920 eighth-grade warriors, and the remaining number was more than 20,000.
Ninth grade warrior.
Lu Jiuzhang's reputation in the Iron Blood Camp reached its peak.
Even the veteran general Xuan Wuyun found it terrifying. The entire Iron Blood Battalion under the leadership of Lu Jiuzhang was really incredible.
…
Early the next morning, war drums were set up.
Under the city wall, there are thousands of big monsters speaking human words.
They are neat and uniform, as if they have been trained in advance.
"Old Immortal Xuan Wuyun, do you remember that a month ago, you sacrificed the lives of hundreds of thousands of soldiers for your grandson's little killing god Xuanji?"
"You old and immortal Xuan Wuyun, you are in vain to be the God of War of the Zhou Dynasty. You have sacrificed the lives of countless sons and daughters for the life of your own grandson!"
"Your grandson's life is life, but the lives of the hundreds of thousands of men in Daxia are not life?"
"..."
The voices of thousands of big demons echo throughout Jiangshui County!
On the city wall, the captain guarding the city was furious, "Kill!"
Bundles of flying arrows shot out from the city wall, hitting the big monsters below.
When the arrow was tens of meters away from these big monsters, these big monsters quickly retreated hundreds of meters and continued to shout loudly.
Another shower of arrows!
These big demons retreated again, exiting five miles away in one breath, still shouting loudly.
The captain who was guarding the city hurriedly ran to the camp.
"Old General!"
The captain guarding the city hurriedly asked, "Those monsters are talking nonsense and disrupting the morale of the army. How should we deal with them?"
"Don't you know how to deal with it? You have been with the old general for so long." The deputy general shouted, "Let them talk, the old general is not such a person! There is no need to argue with them!"
"These rumors can't sway the morale of the military!"
"At worst, we will kill them all during the next siege."
The people below began to argue, some said they should go out of the city now and kill those monsters, while others said they would just tolerate it for now.
Only the old general Xuan Wuyun remained silent for a long time.
"Why!"
A sigh sounded.
Although it is insignificant, it shocks everyone's heart.
The old general Xuan Wuyun stood up slowly, "It's my fault, I can't escape it."
The old general was slumped and a little lonely.
His originally energetic expression seemed to have suddenly aged.
"From today onwards, I will step down from my position as the general who defends the city. The deputy general Zuo Dao will temporarily serve as the general. I will write a letter and send someone to deliver it to His Majesty Jingzhao Mansion."
"In addition, I summon Lu Jiuzhang of the Iron Blood Camp to meet with me."
After that, the old general walked towards the resting place.
Involuntarily, everyone noticed that the old general, who was originally standing upright, had become a little hunched over without realizing it.
Under the stage, many captains and lieutenants all looked at each other in confusion.
It took a long time before everyone withdrew.
Some people feel that the old general has dedicated his whole life to the Zhou Dynasty and cannot be allowed to retire just because of this trivial matter.
Some people also think that it is the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers after all!
The old general's move was too selfish.
Some people are still thinking that the old general will let his deputy Zuo Dao temporarily assume the position of general to coordinate the overall situation.
Their abilities are not inferior to those of the leftists, so they should be the ones to take the lead. Why should the rightists temporarily take over?
The group of people had different ideas.
…
When Lu Jiuzhang arrived, the old general was sitting on a chair with a large number of files in front of him, but the old general had no desire to even take a look.
The whole person is old and has no energy at all.
In an instant, Lu Jiuzhang seemed to understand a lot of things.
"Old General, even if there is a problem, you should not withdraw today." Lu Jiuzhang cupped his hands and said, "No matter what, the top priority should be to repel the demon clan!"
Lu Jiuzhang wanted the old general to continue to command the entire Jiangshui County warriors.
"Why!"
The old general Xuan Wuyun stood up from his chair, his back becoming more and more stooped, "Have you seen my back? It was pressed down by tens of thousands of unwilling heroic souls."
"I also wanted to stand upright, but I didn't expect that I would be selfish at the last moment."
"That day, my grandson Xuanji was trapped in the ruins. Our Xuan family has been in the army for generations and has been fighting on the front line for generations. I don't want our Xuan family to lose its heir apparent!"
"I originally reached some agreement with the people in the ruins world, but I didn't expect that they finally exposed the matter. Of course, this is my own fault, I can't blame others."
"I have been upright and upright throughout my life, and I believe that I have never wronged anyone. Only when it comes to my grandson, I feel sorry for the tens of thousands of soldiers."
"I feel guilty! It's like a crack was born, and that crack kept expanding. Today, when thousands of monsters stand in front of the city gate and count my crimes, the crack has expanded to an unimaginable level.
!”
"I can't hold on any longer!"
The old general looked up to the sky and sighed, "I have left the defense of Jiangshui County in the hands of Zuo Dao. After working with him for so many years, Zuo Dao is more stable than aggressive. I originally asked him to defend the city, so I feel relieved."
"But after all, he is still young and cannot convince the public!"
"So, I will kill a group of people tonight to wake them up!"
"But after my death, things have changed a lot. Even if we make preparations, something will happen again. Jiangshui County will definitely not be able to hold on. If this day comes, you will lead the soldiers of the Iron Blood Battalion towards the northwest.
"
"Don't go to Shuizhou County. There are a lot of troubles there. Be careful not to get away."
"Go to Yiyun County. This place is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Stay in Yiyun County and develop the Iron Blood Camp and expand it to fight against monsters."
Lu Jiuzhang nodded, but his voice was trembling, "Old General, you..."
"My life is worthless! I am ashamed of the new emperor, and I am ashamed of the countless soldiers who believed in me. I just want to let it go while there is still some residual heat." The old general showed a wry smile, "There is just one thing, I hope you
Can you promise me to take good care of my grandson Xuanji!"
"If he really wants to die, let him die on the battlefield!"
"Old general, I..."
Lu Jiuzhang wanted to say something else, but was interrupted by the old general Xuan Wuyun, "Let's go, let's go!"
The old general waved his sleeves, and Lu Jiuzhang was teleported to the Iron Blood Camp in the west of the city.
But Lu Jiuzhang still wanted to persuade him again. As soon as he stood up, he saw a stream of light rushing out of the sky.
Then, four flying swords fell from the sky, and there was also the voice of the old general Xuan Wuyun, "Kong Wenwei, Qu Li, Huan Jin, and Guang Zhi, if they disobey military orders, they will be killed according to the law!"
"The appointment of the new emperor has not come down for a day, but I am still the supreme commander of the city!"
"These four people will die, and Zuo Dao will temporarily take over the position of general. If anyone is dissatisfied, they can go to Jingzhao Mansion and ask the new emperor."
