Chapter 1 Lonely City
In 868, the empire was west of the imperial capital, the border of Qinling Province, and Feiyun Fort.
This is night, when the sky is as clear as the sea and the stars are shining.
Feiyunbao has always had the nickname of "the first castle in the west of the imperial capital", but now it is besieged by a lonely city, isolated and has no contact with the outside world.
A young man with heavy armor was holding a long sword and standing against the railing. At his feet, there was an ancient wall that had been dilapided for a long time, and a huge fireworks flag inserted crookedly beside him. At this time, his eyes were looking a few miles away from the city wall, where there were dense and countless heads that surrounded the city.
A small school ran quickly with an arrow in his hand and knelt on one knee and said loudly, "General, I have something to report." Although his voice was clear, he could not hide his panic and helplessness, which obviously brought not good news.
The young general nodded faintly, turned his head to look at him, and said with a smile, "What's the matter? Just stand up and say it!" His smile seemed to have a magic, which made the little school feel at ease.
"Yes, General!" The small school responded, stood up, and then said worriedly, "General, the food is out again, the people in the city... the people in the city..." Speaking of this, the small school could not continue to speak.
The young general nodded and said, "Side directly, are the people in the city panicked and ready to rebel against the city?"
The small school stayed for a daze before he said in fear, "General Sheng... Sheng Ming!" Although he had a compliment, he was really too frightened, and the words he said were intermittent and incongruous.
"Alas!" The young general only shook his head and sighed, and then said seriously, "Do you know that we are in the face of a national disaster. We must not be afraid of life and death and vow to kill the enemy, so that we can serve the country and defend our wives and children?"
The little school was stunned and was so scared that he dared not raise his head. He only said obediently, "I know, the general taught me a lesson." Although he said so, no one could guess what he was thinking.
"Go down!" The young general waved his hand, turned around, and continued to look at the continuous enemy dozens of miles outside the city wall. His hand was tightly held on the hilt of the sword at his waist, and his eyes were cold and murderous.
Since the rebellion of the four major provinces and the eleven kingdoms, the Zhongzhou Empire, which has been shaken by storms, has finally been broken. Although the central royal family is still the lord of the world in name, the chaos in this world is obviously unavoidable!
After he is a famous family, he has always been loyal to the emperor of the royal family. He has also been stationed in this stable city for three years, but unexpectedly, the first war is an insoluble death. However, there was no fear in his heart. He joined the army and was ready to die in battle many years ago, but... he was a little reluctant to give up after all.
"General..." A soft cry woke him up from his worries and turned around, but a young woman in a goose yellow shirt was looking at him with a worried look. Shaking his head faintly, the young general smiled and took two steps forward. He held the young woman Yu's hand in the palm of his hand. Regardless of her shyness and struggle, he only said with a smile, "When everything here is over, we will have a big fat boy, how about it?" It turned out that this beautiful woman was his hair-haired wife.
The young woman struggled to pull out her jade hand and said sadly, "This has become a lonely city. Can we... still go out?" Her words were full of worry. The endless enemy, like a huge beast with a bloody mouth, wanted to swallow them together with the city.
The young general shook his head, stood on the wall side by side with the beautiful woman, and said with a smile, "I decided to lead 500 soldiers out of there before dawn tonight." His fingers pointed far away somewhere, where the enemy was the weakest.
"Do you want to send the message here?" The woman was so intelligent that she only thought about it and guessed the young general's mind.
The young general nodded happily and smiled, "We really have the same heart and a little bucket. Only by transmitting the news here, can we have a chance to survive in this city and the people all over the city."
The woman put her jade hand on the back of the young general's thick hand, nodded faintly, and silently expressed her support, but in her eyes, there was a strange light.
"Roar~!!!" The sound of the horn and the long and rough horn made the panicked people in the city even more frightened. They abandoned their belongings and rushed to their homes in a panic, so that even a figure could not be found in this lonely street for a moment.
"Bum!" There was a loud noise, but the young general slapped on the wall. His eyes looked at the responding enemy outside the city with fierce light and said hatefully, "What abominable!"
"General..." The yellow young woman looked at her husband's rare angry face and wanted to stop talking.
"You don't have to worry about me." The young man clenched the young woman's jade hand and whispered, "You go back to the house first!" After saying that, without waiting for the young woman to answer, she suddenly pulled out the iron sword at her waist and gently pressed it on the wall with one hand, and her body flew into the clouds, and her clothes flew like a fairy.
"Come with me!" Hearing that angry shout, more than a thousand soldiers followed him and climbed on the wall of the outer city one after another, holding arrows in their hands and huge stones beside them, nervously waiting for the enemy outside the city to attack.
"Fight!" Outside the city wall, a strong man with a beard on his face held high a huge axe in his hand and shouted loudly. A huge iron flag tied behind him and wrote the word "iron tower". Behind the iron flag, there were thousands of soldiers, each holding a sharp and slender iron spear in his hand, all of which followed his horses to the wall.
What a fierce and powerful brigade it is. The horse's hoofs are on the thick dust, and the smoke and dust are scattered, but they can't disturb their pace at all. This is like an army made of iron. Under the leadership of the strong man, it is like a sharp arrow, stabbing at the heart of Feiyunbao.
This is a strong army that has never been seen in recent months. Seeing the behavior of the strong man, it is a general, and I don't know when such a talent came out among the rebels? Thinking of this, the young man felt a little powerless in his heart and didn't know how long he could last in this place.
"Give me a shot!" Seeing the enemy enter the range, the young general did not hesitate to draw his sword and shout angrily, and countless sharp arrows came out, all of which roared and shot at the enemy.
"Block!" Only one word, but it was a mountain-like heavy order. The strong man shouted angrily, and all the soldiers took off a blunt shield and stood in front of him. Only the strong man with the beard still held a huge axe in his hand, without any intention of covering it. He walked forward brazenly, like the mountain tiger.
"Dang~!!!" The continuous loud noise heralded the failure of the first round of the young general's counterattack, but he was not surprised at all, but shouted again: "Shoo!" Another round of wind and arrow rain, shooting at the enemy under the city with his order.
"Block it again!" The strong man shouted angrily and drove the horse under him more quickly in the direction of the iron gate of the city. Unexpectedly, he tried to capture the city with these thousands of soldiers.
Although this seemed to be a joke, it was by no joke. The young general looked at the strong man with a solemn face and said loudly to the soldiers beside him, "Vice General Ning, the matter here will be handed over to your command first. Remember that you can't let the rebels near the gate in any case."
"Yes, General!" The general Lang answered, shook his long bow tightly, glared at the enemy who attacked like a wolf outside the city, and roared, "Brothers, shoot me fiercely!" The more rapid rain of arrows, with his howling, flew intensively towards the enemy under the city.
With the endless rain of arrows, it was the young general who inserted the iron sword back into his waist and reached out to transform into a water-colored sword. He flew like a bird in the direction of the bearded strong man. His clothes flew, but he was fierce and decisive.
"It's so murderous!" The strong man shouted, raised the huge axe in his hand, and roared at the young man's place: "That boy, what's your name, but you have the courage to come with a sword in front of my army alone. Aren't you afraid of losing your life?"
The young general ignored it and only handed the long sword to the throat of the bearded man, wanting to understand his life with a sword.
"Ah~bah!" The strong man roared and stood up with a huge axe in his hand. He controlled the huge axe and hit him fiercely in the direction of the young general.
When the two strongmen met, the sky and the earth must have collapsed. They only heard a loud noise, and the two of them were comparable and retreated several feet.
The young general was not willing to do so. He suddenly stopped his fast retreating body, allowing blood to flow out of the corners of his mouth, clenching the increasingly bright sword in his hand, like a white rainbow, and quickly hitting the strong man again.
"Good swordsmanship!" The strong man shouted angrily, holding a huge axe in his hand and hitting the young man's long sword. He was fierce and did not avoid the edge at all.
"Boom!" The two divine soldiers collided with one in mid-air again, and in the huge shock wave, the two dispersed again.
Knowing that with his own cultivation, he could not take out the life of the strong man, but the young man was not annoyed, but looked at the soldiers gathered behind the strong man with a huge shield not far away, and did not know what he was thinking.
"Hmm!" But the strong man snorted angrily and said angrily, "Kid, is this the way of your march? Humph, take the enemy's head among millions of people? Bah, it's just some insult tactics. If you are brave enough, how about going back to the wall and let's have a good offensive and defensive battle?
PS: There are some emergencies today, and the manuscript has not been saved. The update is much later. I'm sorry, everyone. I will try to upload the next chapter before 12 o'clock.
