Since the demon clan occupied this key pass, the situation has become more difficult for the Daliang frontier army.
The most difficult thing at the junction of Gufengkou and General Mansion, where General Ningping is guarding, is not the ratio of troops, but that there are no powerful monks in Ningping.
Although there are not many Fuyun demons left by the demon clan on the Gufengkou side, there is no one on the Ningping side.
The battle at Gufengkou is now very fierce. In just half a day, the demon clan has already climbed onto the city top five times. Now this is the sixth time they want to stand on the city head here.
Ning Ping's face was stained with blood. This northern general had personally fought with those demon kings. He was the top three in the world back then. Although people often thought that he was third, in fact, even though he was third,
He is also a truly great man who is famous in the world. His level of combat power is no worse than that of the original Master of Chixinguan, Zhenren Yinli.
Now on top of the city, he even killed a demon king, but was also injured as a result.
At this moment, the demon army's offensive was suspended. Ning Ping glanced around and saw that almost two-thirds of the city's defenders had been killed. If this continued, he would be unable to hold on anymore.
What's more, there are two great Fuyun demons on the other side of Gufengkou who haven't moved yet.
In fact, Ning Ping also knew why they didn't take action. He wanted them to feel death slowly approaching and have their psychology completely defeated.
The dark cloud slowly came over their heads and started to rain heavily.
No one would be scared of heavy rain, but they would be, and that's probably the process.
"General, if the reinforcements don't arrive yet, we're afraid we won't be able to hold on for long."
The partial general Cao Ning was also a younger brother of generals who had been in the frontier army for generations. The highest official in his ancestors was the deputy general of the general's palace. Cao Ning was the leader of this generation.
Ning Ping looked at him and said, "It should be soon."
The news has spread a long time ago, and the General's Mansion should have received the news a long time ago, but no reinforcements have arrived. Ning Ping also knows the reason.
The General's Mansion has no troops to send.
Now, outside the General's Mansion, a large army is pressing down on the border. The situation will only be worse than here, not better. It is impossible to get reinforcements there.
In fact, the bigger problem is that even if new reinforcements arrive, they will not fundamentally solve the problem.
Because once the two Fuyun great demons really find that the demon army cannot attack this place, they will take action, and no matter how many reinforcements there are, it will not have any effect.
What they need is the help of strong men from the Fuyun Realm.
But...all Fuyun's strong men should be unable to escape and have no way of coming here again.
Ning Ping glanced at the nearly half-damaged divine crossbows at the top of the city and sighed silently in his heart.
The demon tribe jumped onto the city several times, focusing on destroying these divine crossbows. When the divine crossbows were exhausted, they would have nothing to stop them the next time they attacked the city.
Cao Ning whispered: "General, there should be no troops left at the General's Mansion."
Ning Ping glanced at him and did not refute or scare him with any words that could not shake the military's morale. He just said: "There is always a possibility that the defenders from Yun Chongshan and Ningguan will come."
Cao Ning suppressed his voice and said with a wry smile: "The news just came back from the scouts, that there is also a hard fight over there, and no one can be drawn out."
Now the General's Mansion is the main battlefield, followed by Wangyue Platform, and then here, but nothing happened in other places. Today's northern border line has really fallen into the most difficult and comprehensive war.
Ning Ping was silent for a moment, "They should have let us know this news on purpose."
Cao Ning nodded, "But the news will definitely not be fake."
Ning Ping fell silent, knowing that such words were the status quo, so he could not refute anything. He just said: "Tell the soldiers that we will win."
How pale and feeble is this sentence when placed today and at this time?
"General, we have discussed that this place will definitely be lost, but you cannot die here. If the frontier army is without you, the morale of the army will be unstable, so... I beg the general to leave this place quickly and return to the general's mansion.
"
Cao Ning took a deep breath and forced out a smile, "It doesn't matter if we die. As long as you are here, General, there is still a chance for everything, and we can defeat the demon clan in the future, and even..."
Before he could finish his words, Ning Ping interrupted him with a wave of his hand, "What nonsense are you talking about? Our Daliang Border Army has been established for more than two hundred years, but has there ever been a situation where a general has escaped from battle?"
Cao Ning advised: "Today is different from the past. A general can say anything even if he only has one life left. If his life is gone, then he really has nothing!"
"My life is life, but your life is not life? So many soldiers have committed their lives here, is it possible that their death was in vain?"
Ning Ping was a little angry. Although he had not been in the northern border for too long, he had already regarded himself as a member of the frontier army. He also fully felt the honor of the frontier army.
"General, if you don't leave, their death will truly be in vain!"
Cao Ning gritted his teeth. No matter what, he wanted Ning Ping to leave here quickly and return to the general's mansion.
Ning Ping glanced at him expressionlessly, "Do you think you are the general or me?"
Cao Ning looked at Ning Ping without fear. He was determined to get this matter done today. No matter what Ning Ping thought, he didn't care at all.
"Cao Ning, after I left the General's Mansion, I have arranged everything. Now in the north, there is no big difference between Ningping and Ningping."
Ning Ping's tone softened a little. He patted Cao Ning's shoulder and said with a smile: "I have done many things in my life. Some people think they are wrong, but I don't care. I think I have no regrets in my life."
, If I leave here now, I will have a guilty conscience and I will not be able to survive, so what else can I do to persuade you? Do you have to let me live this life with guilt? "
Cao Ning's eyes were wet, but he understood Ning Ping's thoughts in the end, so he stopped trying to persuade him and just cupped his fists and said with a smile: "General Cao Ning, it is my great fortune to be able to die on the battlefield with the general!"
Ning Ping said nothing and just smiled.
Ever since the great general Xiao Hezhenggui died of old age in Huanglongzhou and the Emperor went to the country, he has actually felt very lonely. The era that belonged to old guys like them seemed to have passed long ago, and as one of those old guys, he
The only thing the last person in the group can do is probably to hold on to their last glory.
Beyond that, there's nothing to do.
…
…
The original furnishings of the general's palace in Gufengkou were actually very simple. After the monster clan occupied this place, there were no changes. A huge map was placed in the center. The monster general from southern Xinjiang was looking at the big map here.
Tu, also a little angry.
Several attacks on the city failed several times. Therefore, it can be said that the will of the Daliang frontier troops was strong, but it cannot be said that they were somewhat incompetent.
The deputy general on the side opened a pair of green eyes and smiled bitterly: "According to the method of military use, as long as those two Fuyun demons take action, we can reach the top of the city in half a quarter of an hour, but we really can't invite them."
As the generals led by the Red-sleeved Demon Lord, they actually knew how to fight a war. They didn't understand the saying that soldiers are very fast. From the beginning to the end, they were not as prepared as Ning Ping thought.
Psychologically, they defeated the defenders over there, but they really couldn't ask the two Fuyun Demons to take action, so the stalemate continued.
If those two people could be asked to take action, the matter would have been over long ago.
"There is no so-called Fuyun strongman on the opposite side. We should have conquered this place long ago."
The general slapped the table and said angrily: "Why are these human soldiers so stubborn!"
Although they had fought countless battles with the Daliang border troops in the past few years, none of them had reached this point. But the deeper they went, the more they developed an inexplicable feeling towards the human soldiers.
mood.
It might be admiration, or it might be... fear.
In their eyes, human soldiers have always been synonymous with being weak, like ants on the ground that can be crushed to death with one kick, but such a weak existence has stopped them here time and time again with their will.
"No matter how stubborn they are, they are at the end of their game and will soon be defeated by us."
"Several military reports came back, and it was clear that they now only have less than one-third of the defenders left. Next time, the next time they must board the city."
The general tried his best to calm himself, "If we can't defeat it, we will all have failed the eldest princess!"
"It's okay to fail me. What you should think about is failing these dead compatriots."
A calm voice suddenly sounded, and the red-sleeved demon king in a red dress walked in from outside.
Her brows were a little tired, but there was no emotion in her eyes.
"Your Highness the Princess!"
The two generals saluted one after another. They were both from southern Xinjiang and were absolutely loyal to the Red-sleeved Demon Lord.
"I've already asked those two to take action. How long has it been since then, but I'm still pretending to be a supporter of the cloud realm? Do you really think this is children's play house?"
The Red-sleeved Demon Lord looked at the map with an expressionless face, "Open the passage from here, and then attack the general's mansion. The human race will be finished. They don't understand such a simple truth?"
The two demon generals both smiled bitterly. They knew this kind of thing very well, but they were powerless.
If the Monster Clan had the final say in leading troops from the beginning, then they would not be at this point now. I am afraid that as early as the first war, they would have broken through the Great Wall that had blocked them for more than two hundred years.
"You hurry up and prepare to attack the city. I will see you there in half an hour at most."
The Red-sleeved Demon Lord was too lazy to talk nonsense and directly stated all his demands.
She stared at the two generals she brought out and said word by word: "I want to leave here with Ningping's head."
