Outside the Jinluan Hall of the Imperial Palace, the sound of horse hooves continued, and from all directions, generals dressed in military uniforms were arriving one after another.
Wearing a suit of gold armor and a gold-red tassel helmet, listening to the shimmering voice of the iron coat, Zheng Nan felt the blood in his body surge, and a man's innate pride arose spontaneously:
A golden sword, an iron horse, a murderous sword, this is what a heroic man should be like!
"The guards of Dragon City South City are here!"
"The Cavalry General has arrived!"
"Dragon City Guard President received it!"
"The guards of Dragon City East City are here!"
…
The two guards standing outside the Jinluan Palace took turns calling out a series of official names, and the generals in iron armor reined in their horses, dismounted, and walked into the Jinluan Palace.
Not long after, the Jinluan Palace was filled with people. Most of the people present were generals in military uniforms, and there were also a few civil servants and counselors. The Emperor of Wuqu Kingdom, Huangfuchuan, had already been sitting on the dragon chair. When he saw that all the generals were almost here, he lightly
He gently raised his hands to signal the ministers to be quiet.
"My generals, I believe that everyone has heard about the urgency of the war. Just now, news came from the border, saying that Wenxing Kingdom and the Dahuo tribe have increased their troops to 500,000, and our country's second largest defense force has
The barrier, Kunlong Pass, has also been captured! The war is urgent now, and everyone in Wuqu Kingdom should take this as a top priority!"
"The last general, Chen Yong, is willing to lead our troops as the vanguard and go into battle to kill the enemy!" After Huangfuchuan said this, someone immediately stepped forward to ask for help. The person who spoke was Chen Yong, the commander of the Nancheng guards. Counting him and Zheng Nan, he is equal.
class.
The other generals were also vying to be the first to ask for help, either to be the vanguard or to provide support, and they all showed full enthusiasm.
Huangfuchuan nodded frequently, and then signaled everyone to be silent again.
"I am deeply gratified that all the generals are eager to serve the country! Now there are many enemy troops, and our Wuqu Kingdom has assembled more than 200,000 local garrison troops on the front line. In addition to the Dragon City Guards stationed in the capital of Dragon City, there are also two
One hundred thousand elite troops, totaling more than 400,000, are enough to challenge the other side! All generals obey orders!"
"I'm waiting here!"
"Order Shen Yueye, the president of the Longcheng guards, to be the general marshal of the expedition, Zheng Nan, the commander of the east city guards, to be the left general, the commander of the west city guards to be the right general, the commander of the south city guards to be the vanguard, the commander of the north city guards to be the backup, and the other armies
Integrate all the above four armies into one, organize the troops on the same day, and set off as quickly as possible!"
"I have received your orders!" All the generals knelt down on one knee, and those who should take the commander's seal took the commander's seal, and those who should take the tiger talisman took the tiger talisman.
"Okay, the important task of protecting our country will be left to the generals!"
"Yes, I will leave!"
There was another metallic sound of iron clothes clashing, and all the generals exited the court one after another. Just as Zheng Nan was about to turn around and follow the others out, he heard Huangfuchuan shouting: "Zheng Nan, my dear, please stay for a while."
Zheng Nan was stunned and had to stop. After all the generals had withdrawn, Huangfuchuan smiled slightly and said to Zheng Nan: "Zheng Aiqing, I know you are strong. Even the president, Shen Yueye,
He is not your opponent, and I am wronging you by asking you to become a general from the left."
Zheng Nan quickly waved his hands. He didn't care about the size of his official position. He replied: "Your Majesty, you are serious. I was originally Commander Shen's subordinate, and I still am now. What's wrong with this?"
"Haha, Zheng Nan, actually I have another purpose in making you General Zuo this time, because besides fighting, you have another mission."
"oh?"
Huangfuchuan was not in a hurry to explain, but waved his hand towards the corridor behind the Jinluan Palace: "Ahem, come out, girl!"
Zheng Nan followed Huangfuchuan's gaze and saw a "young man" dressed in military uniform walking out slowly. He had delicate features and an extraordinary temperament, and he seemed to have a bit of heroism.
"You... empress... er, your highness the princess?" Zheng Nan immediately recognized this "young man" as Princess Luoyun, and almost called him a sissy in front of Huangfuchuan.
Huangfu Luoyun blinked mischievously: "How about you, you idiot? Does this princess look like a general?"
"Like, like a fart!" Zheng Nan replied secretly in his heart, and then he looked at Huangfuchuan with a troubled look on his face: "Your Majesty, you are not asking me to take her with you, are you?" Zheng Nan pointed.
Refers to Princess Luoyun.
"Haha, Zheng Aiqing really wins my heart, you already guessed it before I said it! That's right, your second mission this time is to take this girl with you to stop her from being naughty and delaying the military situation! I know you two
We are familiar with each other, and Wei Suonan and you are brothers. This time, the Protectorate Heavenly Lord’s lineage will also send many masters to follow the army as the upper-level force in this war."
Zheng Nan nodded helplessly and lazily held up his hands: "Okay, I accept my order."
…
After coming out of the Jinluan Palace, Zheng Nan didn't stop for a moment and rushed back to the training ground of his Dongcheng Guards. Fifty thousand iron troops had already gathered here, waiting for Zheng Nan to arrange his troops and make arrangements for departure.
"Thum, thump, thump!"
Zheng Nan once again stepped onto the general stage, and this time, the situation under the stage had undergone some changes.
The one closest to Zheng Nan is a small camp composed of sixty people - this is the direct lineage of close relatives selected by Zheng Nan. Although they have only followed Zheng Nan for half a month and have not yet been tested by Zheng Nan, they can
Their status has surpassed that of the entire Dongcheng Guards. This transcendent status also made those soldiers who could not enter the inner court envious. They all practiced hard and looked forward to the day when they could meet Zheng Nan's requirements.
"I believe everyone knows that now our Wuqu Kingdom is undergoing an invasion from foreign enemies! Those invading bandits are slaughtering our compatriots wantonly in the distance! Today, they are killing people who are far away and unknown to us.
, But tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, they may come here and kill your parents, brothers and sisters! Do you think they can do this?" Zheng Nan stood on the high platform and spoke impassionedly.
"No!" Fifty thousand people shouted in unison, the sound was overwhelming.
"So tell me, are you going to allow them to move on?"
"Not allowed!"
"Okay, very good! Remember what you said today. When you get to the battlefield, even if you take a step back, think about your parents and brothers. Think about whether you will lose the lives of your loved ones because of a moment of cowardice!"
Zheng Nan saw that the enthusiasm of all the sergeants had reached a certain height without any encouragement, so he didn't say anything more. Next, he arranged the arrangement plan for the 50,000 people.
In fact, Zheng Nan didn't know much about the 50,000 people under his jurisdiction. The only people he knew a little bit about were the 60 people he selected.
Therefore, Zheng Nan directly divided the 50,000 people into five parts, each with 10,000 people. It happened that he had four strong people under his command, and he asked these four strong people to take charge of 10,000 people each.
As for the other 10,000 people, he gave them to Yang Tiezhu, whom he knew best.
Yang Tiezhu and the four realms were directly responsible to Zheng Nan, so in this way, Zheng Nan basically didn't have to worry about the 50,000 troops, but they could control them like an arm.
As for food, grass, baggage, logistical supplies and the like, they were not under Zheng Nan's jurisdiction. They were handled by other friendly forces, so Zheng Nan did not make any further arrangements.
After simply arranging everything, Zheng Nan gave the order: "The army sets off, the destination is Tulong Pass!"
From Wenxing Kingdom to Wuqu Kingdom, there are three major fortresses: Suolong Pass, Kunlong Pass, and Tulong Pass. Among them, Tulong Pass is known as the most dangerous pass in Wuqu Kingdom, so it has the title of "The First Pass in the World"
!
And this is the first pass in the world, and it is also the only way from Wenxing Kingdom to Wuqu Kingdom. So this time the Wuqu Kingdom army set off, it was to reach Tulong Pass before it was breached, and then rely on the fact that it is easy to defend and difficult to attack.
The Dragon Slaughter Pass stopped the Wenxing Kingdom and Dahuo Clan armies in one fell swoop.
In Zheng Nan's team, in addition to the "uninvited guest" Princess Luoyun, there were also several "mysterious figures" following him.
In fact, these people can be considered familiar faces. They are the Eight Heavenly Protectors. The reason why they followed Zheng Nan is very simple - Wei Suonan is here. As the young master of the lineage of the Heavenly Protectors, today Wei Suonan and
Zheng Nan is inseparable. Wherever Zheng Nan goes, Wei Suonan will follow.
And the Eight Heavenly Lords happened to have received the order to go out with the army to attack Wenxing, so they simply followed Zheng Nan's team so that they could protect Wei Suonan. This made Zheng Nan extremely happy: he caught these eight awesome guys again.
Thugs, it’s all for nothing if you don’t use them!
Fifty thousand people came out of the official road in the west, crowding the ten-meter-wide official road to the hilt. The entire road turned into a golden river! The sound of metal collisions and neat footsteps drowned out all the surrounding sounds.
Obliterated; and the cold light flashing on the soldiers' weapons made the surrounding temperature seem to drop a bit!
This is a terrifying team: from the leader Zheng Nan, the Eight Heavenly Lords, to the sixty close followers of Zheng Nan, to the endless long dragon behind... Everyone has a trace of...
Definitely, everyone's weapons carry a murderous aura!
Such a team makes many people feel trembling and frightened when they see it, and they dare not approach it!
But at this time, both sides of the road were crowded with civilians welcoming the army. When these civilians saw such an iron-blooded army, they all sighed in admiration - this is an army where the soldiers are all the sons of the common people, and they are all going to
They protect the territory and people of Wuqu State. The stronger they are, the more the people will like them!
Passerby A: "Look, the auras of those leading the group are so powerful! I'm so far away from them that I can't even breathe!"
Passerby B: "Isn't that right? I think those older people are probably the legendary masters. I'm afraid they are all famous generals. Maybe one can be as good as ten!"
Passerby A: "Tch, it's terrible to be uneducated, you are just a country bumpkin! I said that these generals and masters can only fight one against a thousand, no, only one against ten thousand!"
Passerby B: "Ah? If they are so powerful, wouldn't it mean that once these people go, they can wipe out all the little devils from Wenxing Kingdom and Dahuo Clan?"
A: "Of course, those little brats just took advantage of the fact that our martial arts masters hadn't arrived to see how many days they could still run around, huh!"
Seeing how awesome A was, all the passersby looked at him with admiration, thinking that this guy knew a lot and was a cultured person.
At this time, another person C said: "Bah, you know nothing, take a closer look at those people at the front!"
"Huh?" All passers-by were immediately attracted by C and looked in the direction of his finger.
Bing proudly said: "Look, although those eight people have powerful auras, they are not walking in the front. The young man walking in the front is!"
Everyone looked from a distance, and sure enough, there were four young men in front of the eight elders, and among these four young men, one of them was the most forward.
The young man was wearing golden armor and a helmet with gold and red tassels. His strong physique made the armor angular. He had a calm smile on his face, and that calm aura, as if he was not going to fight.
, but like visiting relatives!
"Ah, why...why can this young man walk in the front?" The arrogant look on Passerby B's face suddenly disappeared, and he said doubtfully.
At this time, passerby A finally seized the opportunity to make money: "You idiot! That young man is walking at the front, of course he is the leader of this army! He is the biggest official here, idiot!"
Everyone agreed and expressed deep contempt for B, labeling him a country bumpkin. At the same time, everyone expressed their infinite admiration to the young man at the front: "A hero comes from a young man.
At such a young age, he is actually the commander-in-chief of an army!"
"Er Gouzi, do you know that brother is your role model? You must practice martial arts well!" A mother preached to her child.
"Wow, this little general is so cool and stylish, I like it!" A girl was full of love.
