Chapter 111 Raid on Nanshi Pass (please subscribe)
Just when Wu Zhan was getting ready to go and all arrangements were made.
At the southwest corner of Wangji, Nanshi Pass, above this pass, the military flag of the Northwest King was hung high, dancing wildly in the strong wind.
In the middle of the city wall, Lin Geng was dressed in black armor, with a look of depression on his face.
While he drank hard liquor, he shouted: "I regret it!"
"Why should I volunteer to go to the Northern Desert Royal Court?"
"Ah! Ah! Ah!"
The screams in the sky continued, and the look between Lin Geng's brows was full of depression.
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, and he almost went crazy.
When he thought about this trip to the Northern Desert Royal Court, his face was filled with bitterness.
He originally thought that when he came back and told the whole story, Northwest Wang Linwu would understand his approach.
Little did he know that he happened to catch up with Yongbo Pass and return to Yudu when Xuanbeicheng fell. Lin Wu was furious.
Seeing that his negotiations were unfavorable, he was furious and sent Lin Geng and the 20,000 former Great Xia Imperial Guards under his command to the Nanshi Pass to garrison.
In addition to the 5,000 Northwest Army originally stationed here.
Lin Geng now has 25,000 Northwest troops.
However, Lin Geng was not satisfied with this.
He had always wanted to be a general under Lin Wu, someone who could command hundreds of thousands or even millions of troops.
Unfortunately, now, everything is over.
Lin Geng knew that after this incident, Lin Wu would definitely marginalize him. Under the command of the Northwest King Lin Wu, he would never have a chance to rise again.
Tread! Tread! Tread!
While Lin Geng kept drinking to drown his sorrows, suddenly, he heard the sound of fighting between horses and soldiers.
Lin Geng's eyes suddenly froze, and he woke up instantly.
He saw a group of cavalry heading towards Nanshi Pass!
This was completely beyond his expectation!
He had never considered that there were still people who would go to Nanshi Pass.
The next moment, Lin Geng raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a look of disdain.
After careful inspection, he could clearly detect that the enemy's cavalry was not large in number, probably only about 10,000.
Even if a mere 10,000 cavalrymen attack, what can they do?
He had an army of 25,000 to defend the city.
As long as he does not commit suicide and goes out to meet the enemy, 25,000 troops will be more than enough to defend the city.
It can even take advantage of the city wall to continuously wear down the effective strength of the enemy's cavalry.
When he thought of this, Lin Geng became increasingly excited.
He fantasizes that he can use this battle to show his prestige and hopefully turn around.
Little did they know, Lin Wu was almost dead.
Even if Lin Wu values him, what can he do?
In the final analysis, Lin Geng is just a fool who cannot see the situation clearly.
Call!
Under the city wall, about a mile.
Ten thousand cavalry stopped.
The leading general was none other than Xin Qiji, who stood out from the crowd in his white robe and long sword.
He looked around Nanshi Pass for a week, and it turned out that as the intelligence said, Nanshi Pass was easy to defend but difficult to attack, and it was surrounded by mountains on both sides.
If we want to break the city, we can only attack the south gate of Nanshiguan.
drive!
Riding the Cilongju that uttered dragon chants, Xin Qiji took advantage of the majestic momentum and rode alone to the foot of Nanshi Pass.
Seeing this scene, Lin Geng did not send anyone to shoot arrows.
He could sense that Xin Qiji's Qi had already reached the Wanshou realm!
With the strength of the soldiers under his command, even if they fired thousands of arrows, they would still be unable to defeat Xin Qiji.
Therefore, Lin Geng did not let his subordinates do useless work.
That's right, after this period of practice, Xin Qiji also made rapid progress, reaching the first level of the Longevity Realm!
Staring at Xin Qiji with a cold tone, Lin Geng took the lead and said: "Who are you? How dare you attack Nanshi Pass, which I am guarding, without permission? Who gave you the courage?"
"hehe."
Hearing this, Xin Qiji couldn't help but sneer again and again.
He said in a deep voice: "Lin Geng, I am the master of martial arts, and my name is Xin Qiji!"
"I am here to capture Nanshi Pass under the orders of my lord. Today, the general trend of the world is completely under the control of my lord's martial arts. Linwu's trapped beasts are still fighting, and they will surely perish sooner or later."
"I advise you to be aware of the current situation and surrender, and you will survive!"
Xin Qiji looked deeply at Lin Geng.
He also had to admit that Lin Geng was worthy of being the former commander of the imperial army of the Great Xia Palace. His strength was not bad, and he actually possessed the third level of Longevity Realm!
Lin Geng immediately scolded: "That's nonsense. Who is your master's martial arts?"
"You're just a first-level kid with a yellow mouth, but he's worthy of being compared with the Northwest King?"
"If you have the guts, attack the city! See if I don't kill all your cavalry!"
Relying on the advantage of the city wall, Lin Geng looked confident.
He still stubbornly believed that Northwest Wang Linwu would be the future master of the world.
Of course, this cannot be ruled out because of sunk costs. He had invested too much in Lin Wu. If he quit at this time, he felt that he would not have any chance to stand out under Wu Zhan.
Ambition prompted him to firmly support Northwest Wang Linwu. At the same time, he was also protecting his own interests, nothing more.
Xin Qiji was immediately furious!
Even if Lin Geng pointed at his nose and scolded him, with his restraint, he would not be too angry. At most, he would just let him suffer more when killing Lin Geng to vent his anger.
But now, Lin Geng dared to insult Wu Zhan!
Xin Qiji couldn't bear it!
He shouted loudly: "Lin Geng, you are arrogant and ignorant, and dare to humiliate my lord. Today, I will make your life worse than death!"
Xin Qiji became furious.
In my mind, I recalled what I had gained from following Jia Xu recently.
He decided to use some of Jia Xu's cruel methods on Lin Geng to let him see what despair means!
"Hahaha!"
"Xin Qiji, don't you think this is ridiculous?"
"Let's not talk about whether you can defeat me. If you have the ability and ability, you can capture my city wall first."
Pointing his finger at Xin Qiji, Lin Geng kept laughing, his face full of sarcasm.
He was also deliberately irritating Xin Qiji.
In an attempt to make Xin Qiji lose his mind, he commanded 10,000 Wu family cavalry to charge towards Nanshi Pass.
At that time, on the way to the charge of ten thousand Wu's cavalry, he gave an order and thousands of arrows were fired.
In just a moment, he would inflict heavy casualties on the Wu family's cavalry.
Let Xin Qiji never scream again.
Thinking of this, Lin Geng had a look of contentment on his face.
Xin Qiji was not taken seriously at all.
“Where are Cilong Fifty Cavalry?”
He ignored Lin Geng's prodding.
Xin Qiji had a cold look on his face, and when he shouted loudly, the void shook.
Ang! Ang! Ang!
Suddenly, a dragon's roar suddenly sounded.
On both sides of the Nanshiguan city wall, there are unattainable cliffs.
Twenty-five riders each appeared.
Each of them was dressed in white and had long swords, breathing out burning sword energy.
One after another, between breaths, on the city wall, the sword energy was flowing freely.
One by one, the northwest soldiers died tragically in strangulation with sword energy.
