Lucheng City Guards.
"The main force of the Jin-Xia coalition forces confronted the commander in Jiuzhangyuan, while the Jin-Xia forces attacked the city in three directions at the same time. Our Lucheng is the most important point. If Lucheng is lost, they will have established the first strategic location. , now that we have a stronghold, we can rely on Lucheng to continue our march without any worries."
Guard Yang Zhong pointed to the map on the wall and said in a deep voice.
"That's right, so I am here personally to defend the city and not let the Jin-Xia coalition take this back."
The tall middle-aged man said slowly.
"General Shan, but now we are in short supply of soldiers and horses, and we are about to run out of supplies to defend the city. Reinforcements have been delayed in arriving. The battle is very difficult."
Yang Zhong frowned.
General Shan said: "Don't expect reinforcements. Jiuzhangyuan is the main battlefield. The number of our troops is far behind the enemy's. It is impossible to deploy troops and horses. We can only rely on ourselves."
At this time, a woman in red stood up and said: "Uncle Shan, my personal guards will also go to battle tomorrow."
General Shan frowned and pondered: "Your Highness, the number of personal guards is not large, so we should stay with Your Highness..."
The woman in red said: "Uncle Shan, tomorrow's battle is very important. The opponent will definitely use all his strength. Whether he can defend it depends on tomorrow. At this time, all forces must be put into the battlefield. I have made up my mind, including myself. Once you enter the defense establishment, you have full command."
General Shan was silent for a while, "Okay, but Her Royal Highness the Princess must pay attention to safety and not be as desperate as she was today."
After some combat arrangements, everyone dispersed, leaving only General Shan and the woman in red.
"Man'er... I, the Great Wei, are in trouble."
The woman in red is naturally Cao Ying. She frowned slightly and said: "Although the Jin Xia plan was anticipated by the imperial masters, the preparation time was too short. The enemy was strong and we were weak. Nan Chu could not break through Wujiang in the short term. If it could If we bring in the Western Army, our chances of winning may increase a lot.”
General Shan said: "The Western Army... the four countries are moving, but the Qin Dynasty is not moving. There is no guarantee that they are not waiting for us to withdraw the Western Army."
Cao Ying nodded: "If we withdraw the Western Army, it will indeed give Ying Wushuang a great opportunity. If she sends troops at this time, the Wei Dynasty will really be doomed. But now, Jin Xia continues to increase its troops, and the troops we can use have already been Too few, I don’t know how father plans to deal with it.”
General Shan said: "The king is so talented and has a great strategy, so he must have a plan. What you and I should do is to guard the key points."
Cao Ying suddenly sighed: "It would be great if we could have that magic flame..."
General Shan's eyebrows moved slightly: "Your Highness, you are thinking about that person."
Cao Ying was startled, then smiled calmly and said: "That's right. I, Cao Ying, am not the kind of person who hides and tucks away. I miss him."
General Shan was silent for a moment: "Man'er, it is known to the whole world that that man has become the Xiaoyao King of Great Qin, and his honorary status is second only to Ying Wushuang. You should not..."
Cao Ying shook her head and smiled: "I know, so what's the important thing? You have to like it if you like it, but it's not... you must get it."
General Shan sighed: "Man'er, our country, our country, and the world are all complicated, and it's really hard on you."
"What can you do if you are born in this world? In fact..." Her eyes were a little far-sighted: "I like this kind of world of great strife. You said... if you were not born today, how could you see him? What about people like that..."
General Shan nodded: "That young man is truly gifted. I claim to have fought hundreds of battles, but I became a prisoner without knowing it. I don't even know what role I played. I'm really... speechless."
Cao Ying smiled and said: "Uncle Shan, there is no need to be upset. How about General Huo? He almost lost his life, but he is not as good as you. I know how many strong men he killed along the way. If I hadn't adjusted my mentality in time. I'm afraid the consequences for him will be very bad, and what happened in Northern Xinjiang will never happen."
General Shan sighed: "It's a pity that we can't join the Wei Dynasty, otherwise..."
Cao Ying said calmly: "Who knows? Could it be that he must have surrendered to Great Qin? You can never guess his true thoughts."
"A great talent in the world, but with a weird personality. He doesn't seem to love the country, but he is awarded the title of Xiaoyao King. It's hard to see through." Uncle Shan thought.
Cao Yingdao said leisurely: "I'm afraid sometimes he doesn't know his true intentions. This idle fish may just want to be free and happy, but he always inadvertently turns the river upside down..."
…
The battle on the next day was more fierce than expected. For some reason, the Jin-Xia coalition forces went crazy and attacked with all their might, one after another, which was exhausting to deal with.
Seeing that the supplies for guarding the city are getting less and less, and the casualties are getting higher and higher, but the other side seems to be tireless and never stops.
"Man'er..." General Shan was also seriously injured. He stared at the enemy soldiers sweeping across the city again: "Things are not good. There must be an unexpected situation. My intuition tells me that Lucheng has become more important. Now We must call for reinforcements.”
Cao Ying's eyes were sharp: "What does Uncle Shan mean?"
General Shan said: "I want you to lead your personal guards to fight out and bring in reinforcements!"
Cao Ying was stunned: "Why me?"
General Shan said: "Your personal guards are all good soldiers who can fight one against ten. They are elite soldiers. Besides me, you are the one with the highest cultivation level. There is no other choice."
Cao Ying thought for a moment and looked at the enemy soldiers swarming towards him: "Okay, Man'er obeys the order. Uncle Shan, please take care."
"Don't worry, you fight out from the north gate. The offensive there is weaker. I will order Yang Chengshou to clear the way for you. Go!"
"Follow the order!"
Cao Ying turned around and led three hundred personal guards straight to the north gate.
But she didn't see the nostalgic gaze of General Shan behind her: "Man'er, let's go, this city can't be defended... My child, you have to live!"
"Kill!" The next moment, General Shan brandished his big gun to drive away the enemy who had just rushed to the top of the city...
Cao Ying was so anxious that under the desperate protection of Yang Zhong, he finally led his guards to break out of the siege. However, there were only less than 200 people left around him.
But the enemy army was not stupid. They clearly knew that there must be something strange about this wave of troops, and sent more than two thousand people to pursue them desperately, without giving them any chance to breathe.
"Your Highness, leave quickly! See you in the next life!" A guard captain shouted, leading his troops to turn around and face the roaring enemy troops.
There was a hint of sadness in Cao Ying's beautiful eyes, they knew they must die. You don't need to look to know that these fifty people will disappear in the rolling torrent in the blink of an eye.
Sure enough, soon another guard captain tightened the reins: "Your Highness, take care!"
Third place...
fourth place……
Soon, there were only less than twenty people left around Cao Ying, and everyone was injured.
Just when the commander of the personal guards was finally ready to die for his country, suddenly there was a chaotic sound of people neighing and horses hooting behind him.
Cao Ying was stunned for a moment, turned around and looked back, only to see a golden-armored god man bombarding the enemy's troops.
Those golden fists were indestructible, causing people to fall on their backs wherever they went. Two thousand pursuing soldiers were unable to resist him alone. Strong, ridiculously strong!
