If the soldiers of the Gulin Empire want to go from here to the hinterland of Nansheng, they must take that path. If they go up the mountain, they may not be able to reach the top of the mountain and they will die halfway. This is still the case when no one defends it.
Of course, that path is not easy to walk on, because it is backed by a mountain wall. As long as the sergeant guarding it casually throws a stone the size of a fist, he can also kill the person passing by.
Therefore, the Nansheng Empire only sent a brigade of 2,500 people here, so it was able to rest assured, because this place was an easy to defend but difficult to attack.
Moreover, geographical conditions are limited. If Gulin sends a large number of troops here, it will not be able to move here, but there is less food and it will not be enough for the defenders to eat, so there has been no problem here for hundreds of years.
Wu Dingfang is the captain of the brigade stationed here. He has been stationed here for a full three years. At first, he was not used to the peace here. After all, every soldier has blood in his bones, but he has no choice. After all, this is a military order.
But as time passed, he now felt that this kind of purity was very good for him. He didn't have to fight with others every day, and no one cared about him here. Except for guarding the training of the sergeant, he spent most of his time on his own every day.
In the past three years of cultivation, he has not had to worry about other things, but his strength has improved a lot.
When he first came, he only had the Five-Star Martial King's Peak. Three years later, he is now the Seven-Star Martial King's Peak. With his current cultivation speed, he can become the Eight-Star Martial King in one or two months at most.
He was confident that he would reach the Emperor of Martial Arts within five years, and then he would become the superior Emperor of Martial Arts. At that time, he could go directly to the empire to become an earl, become a worshiper of the empire, and be free from being supported by the empire.
When Wu Dingfang thought of that beautiful life, he looked yearning.
"I really hope this day will come soon."
Just as he was thinking, a soldier ran over in panic. The man was still far away, so he shouted loudly: "Sir, something is not good, the Gulin sergeant is coming."
"Huh?" Wu Dingfang's face darkened and he asked sternly: "How many people have come?"
"Five hundred." The sergeant replied.
"Five hundred?" Wu Dingfang laughed and said, "I said you are getting more and more timid, right? Sergeant Five hundred Gulin scared you like this. I thought it was 50,000. I called a few brothers and stood there.
Throw a few stones down the mountain, and make sure that none of them will survive.”
"Sir, it's the Five Hundred Imperial Guards." The sergeant said anxiously: "They came straight here, and I'm worried that there will be masters."
As soon as this said, Wu Dingfang stood up and said sternly: "Prepare for a big battle and notify Senior Xiao Yu."
Wu Dingfang was finally a general of war. Although he had been idle here for three years, the agility, alertness and reaction that the officers of war should have remained unsuccessful.
Although there has been no war in Tiemuling for a long time, under the leadership of Wu Dingfang, the soldiers did not relax their vigilance. When they heard the order to assemble, everyone quickly assembled and entered a state of preparation for war.
"What happened?" A middle-aged man with medium figure, thin eyebrows, pointed and long face fell from the sky to Wu Dingfang.
"Mr. Xiao Yu." Wu Dingfang bowed to the man and said, "There is a team of Gulin Imperial Guards coming towards us. I am worried that the other party will have masters, so I ask Lord Xiao Yu to come and help."
"Gulin Imperial Guard?" Xiao Yu frowned. "I didn't expect that Gulin Empire had even sent out the Imperial Guard this time. It seems that they are ready to compete with us. Let's go, I'll follow you.
Go and have a look.”
Under the leadership of Wu Dingfang and Xiao Yu, everyone soon came to the forefront. At this time, the soldiers guarding here were ready for attack, but they did not take bows and arrows and weapons, but put these weapons aside.
Each picked up a stone the size of a washbasin.
Here, crossbow weapons are not that important. What is important is stone. Not to mention melee weapons, they will not work at all. Even long-range weapons such as crossbows can hit at most one person.
But these stones that have been polished into round shapes are different. Here, the mountains are high, the slopes are steep and the road is narrow. A stone is thrown down from the mountain. Even the master of King Wu can't bear the impact. If you go all the way, just do whatever you want.
It can even smash several people.
"Sir, look..." A squadron leader pointed at a group of people at the foot of the mountain. Although he was far away now, he could only barely see that it was a team of about five hundred soldiers, but the dark armor was only the guards.
Only the army can be equipped, so it seems particularly easy to recognize.
"It's indeed the Gulin Imperial Guard." Wu Dingyuan's pupils shrank, and a sneer appeared on his face, "Did I, Wu Dingyuan, have not participated in the war for three years? Those Gulin people forgot me. Although the Imperial Guard is powerful,
With five hundred, he underestimated me, right?"
"There is a master among them." Xiao Yu next to him said with a serious expression: "I have already felt his powerful aura, a three-star martial emperor."
"Three-star Martial King?" Wu Dingyuan's face changed slightly and he asked, "Can you stop him?"
Xiao Yu pondered for a moment and nodded, "It should be no problem to stop him just. Although I am just a two-star martial emperor, I have reached the peak. From his momentum, the three-star martial emperor should have only broken through shortly."
"That's good." Wu Dingyuan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Please stop him at the foot of the mountain. You must not let him go up the mountain. The soldiers will be handed over to us."
Once the opponent is allowed to go up the mountain, the two war masters will be affected by a large range, and ordinary soldiers will be affected by this, which Wu Dingyuan does not want to see.
"Don't worry, I won't let him go up the mountain." Xiao Yu's figure flashed and ran towards the foot of the mountain. Wu Dingyuan shouted to the soldiers behind him: "Prepare, wait until they get halfway up the mountain before throwing them away.
”
At the foot of the mountain, Long Feitian and Bao Yi suddenly frowned and looked up at the mountain. Both of them smiled. Looking at the changes on their faces, Gongsun Chi next to him immediately asked, "What's wrong, two sirs?"
"A two-star martial emperor is here." Long Feitian said with a smile.
"It should be Lord Xiao Yu who is stationed here." Gongsun Chi glanced at the Gulin Imperial Guard armor worn by everyone behind him, and smiled bitterly: "I guess they regarded us as Gulin Imperial Guards." As he was speaking, the
Xiao Yu rushed towards them with a flash of lightning.
Gongsun Chi hurried forward, cheered up his fighting spirit, and shouted loudly to Xiao Yu: "Don't get me wrong, we are here to support Tiemuling on the order of the Grand Marshal. I am Gongsun Chi, the commander of Yun Ling.
I once met Senior Xiao Yu, and Captain Wu Dingfang also knew me."
Hearing this, Xiao Yuguo, who was shooting at the fast, stopped halfway up the mountain. Looking at Gongsun Chi, she seemed to have a little impression in her memory and said in a deep voice: "Who is the Martial Emperor behind you? I have never seen it before.
I have never heard of me, Nansheng, having such a three-star martial emperor, and why do you wear the armor of the Gulin Imperial Guard?"
"This is Lord Baoyi who has been living in seclusion in Songyan City. The Grand Marshal received news before that Gulin sent 30,000 great powers to attack Tiemuling. The Grand Marshal was worried that you were in danger, so he sent us to support him." Gongsun Chi replied
He said: "I just didn't expect that the Gulin army would ambush us halfway, and they not only sent 30,000 troops, but also a thousand imperial guards."
"We had a tragic battle. Fortunately, Senior Bao Yi arrived in time and defeated them. These are the remaining brothers after the war. The armor on them is also our spoils this time."
