Chapter 261 Receiving Remnant Soldiers

  The wind and snow dissipated under the power of Yunqi bombs.

  The earth has seen the sun again, the sky is blue and vast, and the warm sun is falling on the outside of Beifeng City, just like before.

  The frozen blood and frozen bones on the brown ground tell of the war and death that just happened here.

  After the snow clouds dissipated, the temperature warmed up briefly, and the blood ice on the ground began to melt, turning into nutrients and seeping into the soil.

  In the coming year, the flowers and plants here should be quite lush and beautiful.

  But in the coming year things will be invisible to most people here, because the war is not over,

  The huge Beifeng City whose north wall collapsed has now turned into a huge flesh and blood mill, constantly devouring the lives of the living.

  The momentum of the barbarians is like a rainbow, and the 300,000 frontier troops of sects are also trying their best to make the last resistance.

  But the barbarian offensive wave after wave, stretching like a sea tide.

  As a leader with no background, Li Zixiang has been here in the north for five years since he came to the northern border from the martial arts school under Lingshui Palace.

  Compared to those veterans who have been in the northern border for more than ten or even decades, his five years are not long, but it happened to be a good time for the barbarians to invade the south.

  War is both a danger and an opportunity.

  When he first saw these tall and burly aliens with ferocious faces on the battlefield, Li Zixiang actually had a natural fear in his heart, but gradually he found that his fear was a bit funny.

  These barbarians are all silver-like pewter gun heads, which look like they will break when touched by the frontier army.

  What a bunch of idiots.

  Unable to fight again and again, but still want to come south to invade Dayan, isn’t this an idiot?

  Every time he goes to the battlefield, he can gain a lot of military exploits from these dark-skinned stupid big men.

  Give him a chance to succeed without any background or family background.

  In just five years, he has changed from a pawn to the current Dubo.

   He is not considered a high-ranking officer in the army, but he has about fifty brothers under him.

   In addition to saving enough for his own cultivation, he can also go to Goulan to meet his old friends. big fat boy.

  But at this moment, all these thoughts have disappeared.

  On the fourth watch day before yesterday, the generals who had kept them standing still for reinforcements suddenly issued an order for them to start a fire immediately and prepare to move out of the camp.

  Although he was puzzled, he still did it, because those generals definitely thought of more things than his big boss.

  And just as he thought,

  At dawn

  Those high-ranking generals once again used the magic of the fairy family to open God’s eyes and drive away all the damn snow clouds in the sky.

  The barbarians surrounding the camp were directly exposed within their line of sight.

  Very close.

  It is about ten miles east of their camp.

  Li Zixiang thought that this would be a fierce battle, and he was even a little excited because of it.

  After all, these barbarians are all military exploits. If he gets more military exploits, he may be promoted to general next year.

  As a porter who used to work as a coolie on the pier, this was something he couldn’t even imagine.

  But there is always a certain gap between ideal and reality.

  The generals issued the order not to prepare to meet the enemy, but to avoid the barbarian army and form an army to enter Beifeng.

  This disappointed Li Zixiang, who was eager for military exploits, because in sunny weather, unless the barbarians wanted to die, it was impossible for them to choose to confront their 300,000 army head-on.

  However, if there is a loss, there must be a gain, and soon the general’s order made Li Zixiang excited again.

  As a frontier army subordinate to Lingshui Palace, Li Zixiang became the vanguard of the city.

  The barbarians will inevitably leave some defenders in the Beifeng City. As long as he attacks the top of the city, it will be a great achievement.

  But unfortunately,

  From the very beginning, the script of the battlefield seemed to be out of control.

  Countless catapults and weapons from the barbarians fell on the marching road of their forward army formation, but this is not a problem for the army formation that has become a large army.

  The soldiers resonated, and the tide-like Qi and blood directly smashed all these flying things into powder.

  And the barbarians are dying.

  In sunny weather, they dared to pursue the army that had formed a camp.

  Countless barbarian wolf riders rushed directly into the waiting army like moths to the flame.

  War is about to start.

  Li Zixiang thought that the generals would let them change their formation immediately.

  The front army turned to the rear army, deployed troops, and lined up to attack these life-or-death barbarians head-on.

  But the general chose to fight and retreat, and let them, the former army, take the head of Beifeng city as quickly as possible.

  Military orders are like mountains, and if you don’t understand them, Li Zixiang can only follow them.

  After several hours of fierce fighting, they successfully defeated the small number of barbarian troops entrenched on the top of the city and captured the northern city wall.

  Thirty thousand pioneers entered the city to clean up the remaining barbarian troops in the city. One hundred thousand Chinese troops quickly cleaned up the city wall. .

   Over time,

  As the forward among the forwards, Li Zixiang was already in the city, and the brothers beside him fell down one by one.

  The spiritual knife in his hand was curled because of the hard black skin of the barbarians, so he randomly picked up the dead comrades on the ground.

  Under the blessing of Qi and blood in the military formation, even if he only has a sixth-rank cultivation base, every knife of his fifth-rank Soul Concentration cannot be hardened.

  Li Zixiang couldn’t remember how many barbarians he had killed one after another, but the black blood had already stained all the armor on his body black.

   And just as their vanguard troops were about to arrive at the southern city wall and completely recapture the northern city, a roar sounded like an earth dragon turning over behind them.

  Time seems to stand still at this moment.

  The earth-shattering roar made the ground of the entire Beifeng City tremble, and almost everyone looked back to the direction where the sound came from.

  In the astonished eyes of all the frontier soldiers,

  The giant wall of the Northern Seal that stood in front of the barbarians for thousands of years collapsed.

  The landslides and the ground cracked, the gravel flew, and the smoke and dust from the collapse enveloped half of the Beifeng City.

   What frightened all the grassroots generals was that the connection between the small army formation they formed and the commander was also broken at this time.

  The originally imposing military spirit was in turmoil at this moment.

  The huge collapsed wall blocked the more than 100,000 soldiers who had already prepared to enter the city.

  The originally orderly battle situation began to become chaotic, and the balance of the war also began to tilt at this moment.

   An hour later, Li Zixiang successfully boarded the southern city wall, and looked back into the city.

  Under the clear sky, there is the huge city of Beifeng full of gunpowder.

  The screams of fellow robes can also be faintly heard on the south wall.

  Crash

   “Lee head.”

   “Lee head.”

   “Lee head!”

  A cry from beside him awakened Li Zixiang from his memories, and he looked around subconsciously.

  The surrounding area is no longer the giant city of Beifeng, but a vast white snowfield. The blurred snowflakes falling from the sky almost completely obscured their sight, and a dozen soldiers wrapped in coats sat quietly cross-legged Resting around, and beside the tree where he was sitting was standing a young man wearing ordinary frontier armor.

  Looking up at the person coming, Li Zixiang forced a smile:

   “Li Xia, what’s the matter?”

  The visitor was a young man in his twenties, who had just graduated from the martial arts school and came to the northern border this year.

  Li Xia wrapped his warm coat slightly tightly around his body, and said in a low voice:

   “Tou Li, General Hou just sent a letter saying that we will arrive at Houting County soon, let me prepare and start moving forward.”

  Li Zixiang was silent for a while, looked back at the soldiers with low morale around him, and asked, “We… are we getting rid of the harassment of those barbarian wolf cavalry?”

  There was a smile on Li Xia’s youthful face: “Well, General Hou said that Wu Chenghou’s reinforcements have arrived in Houting County, and there is a high probability that the barbarians will not dare to pursue them.”

  Hearing this, Li Zixiang also relaxed slightly, the corners of his lips curled up, and he smiled sincerely:

   “That’s good, that’s good.”

  It has been four days since Beifeng was defeated. The armies broke through separately, and the barbarian tribes were chasing after them.

  The weather was sunny at the beginning, and they were able to fight and retreat, but the weather only lasted for two days, and the blizzard came again, and their remnants of less than 20,000 soldiers were captured by a snow wolf from the barbarians Riding on it.

  After two days of pursuit, they left thousands of brothers dead in the snow field.

   Of the fifty brothers under him, only these ten or so are left.

   Fortunately, Houting County has arrived, and they are finally safe

  After learning that Hou Ting was approaching, the morale of the entire army finally picked up, and there was a glimmer of hope in the bewildered eyes of the soldiers at the grassroots level.

  Food, weapons, and safety can all be guaranteed there.

  Under this belief, they marched for two hours, and their remnants finally arrived at the foot of Houting County.

  But the situation after arriving was a little different from Li Zixiang’s imagination.

  There is no hot water, hot food, or warm rooms here, and even the tall and heavy gates of Houting County have no intention of opening.

  Li Zi subconsciously thought that the defenders treated them as barbarians, and hurried to the front of the army column.

  He saw General Hou and the young female general from the other army standing under the city wall.

  The two of them raised their heads, as if they were talking to the people on the city wall, but they should be using sound transmission, and they couldn’t hear the conversation between them at all.

  In contrast,

  Two figures in red clothes were standing on the wall of Hou Ting, looking down indifferently on them, the remnant soldiers who had tried their best to escape here.

  Time passed by one minute and one second, and the city gate still did not mean to open. Even some advanced cultivators in the army saw through the wind and snow that the defense equipment on the city wall had quietly aimed at it. took them.

  And at this time,

  A warm and jade-like male voice was blessed by Yuan Qi, and passed from above the city wall to the ears of every soldier below the city:

   “General Hou and General Luo, as long as you agree to this condition, we will open the city immediately to welcome your army into the city. I don’t have much patience, and fifteen minutes should be enough for you to consider.”

  Condition?

  When Li Zixiang heard this, his eyes became more puzzled, and he glanced at the two generals in front of the formation.

  But I saw that the expressions of the two generals, a man and a woman, were so dark that water could drip out.

  In contrast, the soldiers who had begun to whisper, the remnant army whose morale had gradually stabilized gradually became chaotic at this moment.

  In doubt, Li Zixiang performed his exercises and raised his eyes to look at the two figures on the city wall.

  The man on the city wall seemed to be aware of it, and glanced at him with a smile, but left in a flash and frivolously.

  Xu Yuan withdrew his gaze and wrapped his coat around his body, and asked half-jokingly:

   “Qing Yan. Isn’t the condition you gave a bit too much?”

  Li Qingyan’s red lips curled up, and he was in a good mood. With a snort, he rolled his eyes at the man beside him:

   “Hand over all the Sumeru rings and ordnance supplies?”

  Xu Yuan breathed out a mouthful of white mist, looked at the remnant soldiers below, and said faintly:

  ”Yuanhao received news yesterday that he has received about 30,000 rout soldiers one after another. Overall, we can probably receive about 70,000 to 80,000 remnants for reorganization. Wolf feels really good, tsk tsk.”
