Zheng Nan led 50,000 troops and advanced at a rapid march towards Tulong Pass. It was already the seventh day of the march, and the destination was finally in sight.
"Report to the general, the next city is Dragon Slaying City. Should we send a vanguard to report the news and ask them to open the city gate to welcome us?" A soldier quickly came to Zheng Nan's horse and said respectfully.
Zheng Nan squinted his eyes and looked far into the distance. At this time, they were in the wilderness between the two cities, and the general environment of this area was full of mountains and rivers. In the distance, two mountain peaks towered into the clouds.
Due to the long distance, the mountain peaks appear dark green, and on the near side of the two mountains, there is a small city, which is Dragon Slaying City!
"Well, that's fine, let's send a small team of people to report the news." Zheng Nan replied lightly, and then looked at Huangfu Luoyun beside him, "Haha, we are finally at our destination, and I don't have to listen to your noise every day.
You're making a fuss, I find that getting along with you is more tiring than going to war!"
"Hmph," Princess Luoyun wrinkled her nose, "My princess is loved by everyone. She thinks highly of you if she is willing to play with you. I can fight and play with you in the future, so who will care about you!"
With that said, Princess Luoyun pinched the horse's belly and sped up to get rid of Zheng Nan.
"Although this girl knows a lot about national affairs, she is still a little girl at heart - she actually treats war as a play!" Zheng Nan looked at Princess Luoyun going away and couldn't help but shake her head and smile. "I don't know when you see the war.
After the cruelty and bloodshed, will you still think so..."
After walking a little further, Zheng Nan could already see the outline of the city in the distance with his extraordinary eyesight. At this time, several black spots were rapidly growing in Zheng Nan's sight - the ones sent to report the news.
The soldiers are back.
"Report - report to the general, something bad has happened!" Several soldiers galloped over on horseback, shouting hurriedly before they had time to dismount.
Seeing the horrified expressions on their faces and breathing heavily, Zheng Nan couldn't help but frown: "Something bad is going on? What's going on!"
"Reporting to the general, there are only a small number of local defenders in the Dragon Slaying City ahead, and the main force of our army has been ordered to go out and fight the enemy!"
"What?!" Hearing this, Zheng Nan stood up from his horse in surprise! "What on earth is going on? Which grandson is leading the troops into battle?!"
“The person leading the troops into battle is the vanguard of this Western Expedition—Nancheng Guard Commander, Chen Yong!”
Hearing this name, Zheng Nan suddenly heard: This Chen Yong was the first person to be recruited to fight in the Jinluan Palace that day, and the position he applied for was also a vanguard. At first, he secretly praised this guy for his courage, but unexpectedly he turned out to be a talented man.
A fool's errand!
"Why did this idiot go out to fight despite the great opportunity of not guarding the first pass in the world?" Zheng Nan shouted angrily, but none of his subordinates answered him. Zheng Nan did not hesitate and immediately ordered:
"The entire army will obey the order and immediately advance at full speed to Dragon Slaying City!"
"As you command!"
"The sixty men of the Pioneer Battalion obey the order. You follow me and rush over first! Dear Heavenly Lords, please come with me too!"
"My subordinates take orders!" "Okay!"
After Zheng Nan finished speaking, he jumped up from the horse. With his strong body strength, he made a pit on the ground with just one kick. The fiery red energy spread all over his body, and the Earth Escape unfolded at the same time. The eight Protector Heavenly Lords also unfolded their protective shields.
He was full of energy and rushed on the road at full speed. All kinds of energy were dazzling for a while.
Everyone moved forward at their fastest speeds, and the eight Protectorate Heavenly Lords were the fastest, turning into eight brilliant rainbow lights and passing by quickly; Zheng Nan's speed was not much different, and he followed closely behind them like a ray of light.
A red whirlwind rolled up; followed by Wei Suonan and Li Yuxia, followed by four earth realm guards and fifty-six human realm guards.
The soldiers at the back looked at the lightning-fast rays of light in front of them, all of them widened their eyes, and their hearts were filled with confusion: Is this the speed of a human being?
The eight people at the front, the energy swirling around their bodies... that's the Heaven Realm! It turns out that I have been traveling with so many Heaven Realm experts in the past few days! And our General, he
It's obviously the Earth Realm, but its speed is almost catching up with the Heaven Realm!
…
At full speed, the Eight Heavenly Masters and Zheng Nan quickly arrived at Dragon Slaying City. Entering the city, there were only a few scattered small groups of soldiers and horses in the garrison camp, and most of them were injured soldiers who had died.
Zheng Nan was filled with anger and shouted in a deep voice: "Whose idea was this attack and for what purpose?"
The remaining soldiers looked at each other in confusion. Looking at the murderous and angry young general in front of them, they all felt a little frightened: they had all been soaked in blood in battle, but they did not dare to look Zheng Nan in the eyes!
"Reporting to the general, this attack was the idea of the vanguard general Chen Yong. General Chen said that our Wuqu army has been retreating steadily for a long time, and its morale is inevitably low, so it needs a victory to boost its morale."
"Victory? Is just rushing out like this the way he pursues victory? Idiot!" Zheng Nan became more and more angry as he listened. He tried hard to suppress his anger, and then asked, "How many people were dispatched in this attack?"
"General Chen brought 50,000 vanguard troops, plus the original 220,000 Tulong Pass defenders, for a total of 270,000 troops!"
"Two hundred and seventy thousand!" Zheng Nan took a breath, but then waved his hands angrily, "Follow me and come to the front line to have a look!"
With that said, Zheng Nan took the lead and hurriedly boarded the Dragon Slaying Pass.
The construction of Tulong Pass relies on natural barriers on both sides, spanning between two peaks! The two peaks can be called a natural chasm, and even apes cannot climb over it, so this Tulong Pass is
The only place that can be passed. The Dragon Slaughter Pass is 100 meters high and more than 200 meters wide. The entire pass fortification is made of extremely hard materials. Even the strong ones in the Heaven Realm cannot blast it open!
Standing at the top of Tulong Pass, Zheng Nan leaned over and looked down, only to see densely packed figures below. On the side close to Tulong Pass, as far as he could see, they were all soldiers in black armor - they were all stationed at Tulong Pass.
The garrison at the pass.
And a little further away, there is a shadowy golden light shining there. It is obviously the vanguard legion of the Dragon City Guard, the 50,000 elite Nancheng Guards!
At the front of the Golden Army, the battle was raging.
This is a melee involving tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people. Originally, if it were a battle in the wilderness, it would be enough to open the battle line and the two sides would engage in a fierce and comprehensive fight; but in this valley, which is only a few hundred meters wide, what can really be fought.
Only thousands of people in front!
The golden-armored dragon city guards were fighting fiercely with the opposing soldiers of the Wenxing Kingdom in silver armor. The chaotic shouts of killing and the sound of weapons being exchanged could be heard by Zheng Nan even from a long distance away. And in this 100-meter-high dragon slaying
At the top of the pass, Zheng Nan felt a fishy-sweet smell in the air - that was the smell of blood!
Zheng Nan only felt that hundreds of acupuncture points all over his body seemed to be ready to move. And the Heaven-Devouring Art** in his body seemed to be unconsciously trying to operate! Zheng Nan was shocked: This was not the first time he had done this.
This feeling, but in the past, it was always when he had a murderous intention towards others, and it was always when he killed people with red eyes. But this time, before he took action, he was already murderous!
"This idiot Chen Yong actually chooses such a stupid melee! Doesn't he know that the other side has more people than his own? Doesn't he know that such a melee cannot take advantage of Longcheng Guard's individual strength? He
Don't you know that the pass is for defense, not for attacking?" Seeing the chaotic fighting under the pass, Ge Tian also cursed, his disgust for Chen Yong was palpable.
At this time, Zheng Nan was actually infected by the smell of blood in the air and the deafening sound of fighting. Even his eyes had turned reddish!
This tragic atmosphere coincides with the Heaven Devouring Art in Zheng Nan's body, and it is the favorite scene of the Killing God inheritance!
The God of Death is so angry that he bleeds for thousands of miles! This is exactly the scene he is talking about!
Zheng Nan gritted his teeth, restrained the murderous intention in his heart, and shouted to the messenger beside him: "Send the order, Ming Jin withdraws the troops! Let all the local defenders withdraw first, and the 50,000 Dragon City Guards in front of you will rear up!"
"Yes, General! But General Chen..."
"Crack!"
Zheng Nan didn't wait for the messenger to finish speaking, and slapped him on the mouth, causing the soldier to stagger and the corners of his mouth to see blood: "Don't talk to me about General Chen anymore, I'm the biggest here now!
"
"Yes, I obey the order!" The ordering soldier did not dare to be nagging anymore and hurriedly ran to convey the order.
A few minutes later, only a few rapid golden sounds were heard:
"Dang-dang-dang-dang..."
At the same time, the huge suspension bridge under Tulong Pass was lowered, and the suspension bridge was spread out several times before covering the protective river with a width of more than 60 meters. The soldiers who heard the sound of ringing gold were
They all turned around with some doubts, and then rushed back to the Dragon Slaying Pass as fast as they could!
These soldiers actually did not want to go out to fight, but due to the heavy military orders, they had no choice but to rush out with their heads high. So when they heard the sound of ringing gold, each of these soldiers was more happy than the other.
Seeing the chaos below, and more than 200,000 people retreating back to the Dragon Slaughter Pass, Zheng Nan was half relieved: If those troops were allowed to rush forward and fight for their lives this time, I'm afraid these 200,000 people would be able to survive.
Those who come down will be pitiful!
However, at this time, there are still 50,000 golden-armored Dragon City Guards under the pass, fighting hard! As the troops in the rear retreated, the Dragon City Guards were also pressed and beaten by the opponent's army, and they retreated further and further. Moreover, the enemy troops were gradually retreating.
Fighting in a melee with 50,000 Dragon City Guards, it is no longer a fight with thousands of people at the front.
Even some of the faster and stronger soldiers of Wenxing Kingdom had already broken through the defense line of Longcheng Guards and rushed towards the pass brandishing their weapons!
Zheng Nan gritted his teeth and said: "The enemy will pounce on you immediately. Send an order: close the suspension bridge and retreat for defense!"
"Yes!" The messenger received Zheng Nan's order and hurried down to make the announcement.
At this time, Princess Luoyun, who had been standing next to Zheng Nan with her mouth wide open in surprise, spoke. She looked at Zheng Nan in disbelief, and there seemed to be tears in her eyes: "No, you idiot, there are still 50,000 people below.
,How can we retract the suspension bridge? In that case..."
"In that case, those 50,000 people will die!" Zheng Nan said it first, "But if not, it may not be 50,000 people but 500,000 people who die! You can't blame me for this, you can only blame Chen Yong
That idiot was so arrogant that he sent troops without permission! Sacrificing fifty thousand people now is the best result!"
As Zheng Nan spoke, he gritted his teeth. Isn't this the first time Zheng Nan has faced these 50,000 lives? But he couldn't help it, because he had already made the best decision!
Zheng Nan, the Eight Heavenly Lords, Princess Luoyun, and sixty of Zheng Nan's confidants all stood on the high Dragon Slaying Pass, silently watching the fight below.
The suspension bridge has been retracted, and the 50,000 Dragon City Guards are truly fighting a last-ditch battle with no way out.
The opponent's army was even more numerous. From a distance, you couldn't even see the end, and you didn't even know how many people there were! Amidst the chaotic shouts, soldiers fell one after another, and one after another
Life has dissipated. Listening to the scream again in this constant death, it seems that it is not a scream, but a tragic song of life...
Blood splattered and limbs danced wildly! Corpses lay everywhere, and blood flowed into rivers!
In this bloody scene, in addition to the compassion for life, Zheng Nan also had another emotion in his heart: a faint murderous intention sprouted from time to time, making Zheng Nan feel a little joyful!
At the same time, so many people died below, and some of their vigor and negative power was emitted into the air, and all of these things became Zheng Nan's tonic!
