The city lord was just stunned for a moment, and immediately smiled and said: "Of course there is no problem. Although our border town is located in a remote place, I still have a recommended quota. I am naturally willing to give this quota to Mr. Zhao. However, the court has regulations. Yes, you need to use military merit in exchange for it. I only have the right to recommend it. I can’t say whether it can be approved by the court."
Zhao Tianming smiled and said: "Of course I will use military merit in exchange for it."
"That's good. Mr. Zhao is here for the first time in the border town. How about having a light meal at my place at noon?"
The city lord invited.
This is my eviction order in disguise.
Zhao Tianming immediately stood up and said goodbye: "Thank you for your kindness, sir, but I'd better go back and chat with you another day."
"That's fine. Mr. Zhao is coming to the border town for the first time. He must be familiar with military affairs. I won't stay any longer. General He, by the way, is your injury feeling better?"
"It's going to take some time to recover."
General He also stood up.
He does look a little sick.
One look showed that he was injured.
Zhao Tianming didn't understand why General He wanted to hide his injury, but he still cooperated, would not point it out, and behaved very normally.
Back at the General's Mansion, a servant arranged a small courtyard for Zhao Tianming.
Zhao Tianming lived here from now on.
At noon, General He took care of Zhao Tianming, and Liu Feilong also accompanied him.
After eating, Zhao Tianming returned to the yard.
At this time, General He has issued a general order. From now on, Zhao Tianming will be the minister of the general's mansion. However, he has great power and can mobilize the border troops on General He's behalf.
In the evening, someone brought dinner to Zhao Tianming.
After dinner, he was practicing sword-drawing skills in the yard, when General He suddenly appeared.
"Mr. Zhao, are you still used to this place?"
"Habit, thank you General for your concern."
"There is no need for you and me to be so polite, as if we are strangers. There are no outsiders here. Let me inform you that there will be a fierce battle in the next few days. At that time, it will not be convenient for me to go out of the city to meet the enemy, but I will sit in the city. When the time comes, it’s up to you to fight on my behalf.”
General He was obviously worried about the city. He was worried that if he left the border town, something would happen in the city.
Zhao Tianming frowned: "General, are you worried about the spies in the city?"
"I have to be on guard. As the saying goes, it's hard to guard against domestic thieves. We still don't know who the spies are, how many traitors there are, and how powerful the Yan army is in the city. Therefore, I can't leave the city easily. If I were here, I believe they would be afraid."
General He sighed.
Zhao Tianming didn't think much about it and said, "Okay, but I don't know much about the battle between the two armies."
"It's very simple. You just need to try your best to kill as many Yan troops as possible. Of course, your target is not ordinary Yan troops, but the generals and masters among the Yan troops. In fact, they will also pay special attention to you when the time comes. "
General He looked a little complicated.
"Moreover, you must be on the Yan Army's blacklist now. They have suffered big losses at your hands many times. This time they will send experts to hide in the army. When the time comes, you will have to worry about someone assassinating you."
General He reminded.
Zhao Tianming knew it well and nodded in agreement.
The next day, nothing happened.
On the third day, early in the morning, Zhao Tianming was summoned to the city gate.
At this time, the trumpet sounded in the military camp.
Countless border troops poured out of the city, set up twenty battle formations, and were ready.
There are five hundred people in each battle formation, and the total number is over ten thousand.
These frontier troops looked tired at first glance, but they looked determined. Countless people also climbed onto the city walls or high buildings, looking outside the city from a distance.
Outside the city, there is a large open area.
It can accommodate hundreds of thousands of people fighting head-on.
Zhao Tianming stood next to General He. The latter was wearing a set of armor, majestic and extraordinary. Beside him, there were dozens of sword cultivators, among whom a dozen were strong in the Heavenly Dan realm. There is even a strong person in the early stage of Heaven Realm.
Everyone saw Zhao Tianming arriving late and looked at him with strange eyes.
Everyone knows that there is a person like him.
Everyone has heard about the war in Taiping Village.
But what you hear is false, and what you see is true.
They don't have much favorable impressions of Zhao Tianming.
Although Zhao Tianming is just a worshiper, his power is very transcendent. He can deploy the army on behalf of General He, which is equivalent to becoming General He's deputy general.
How can this convince the public?
Only Liu Feilong felt that all this was natural.
He greeted Zhao Tianming: "Brother Zhao."
"General Liu."
Zhao Tianming clasped his fists.
General He looked around and said: "According to the spies' report, the Yan army will attack the city soon. You must obey orders later. Anyone who disobeys military orders will be killed without mercy. Everyone, military law is ruthless. I hope you understand."
"yes!"
Everyone clasped their fists solemnly.
Soon, the Yan Army's cavalry appeared on the distant horizon.
A completely dark place.
An estimated 20,000 people.
In total, it was larger than the number of border troops.
The Yan army also formed more than twenty battle formations and marched slowly from a distance.
Tens of thousands of Yan troops are all warriors capable of hundreds of battles. Their murderous aura can be felt deeply from a distance, making it impossible for them to laugh at all.
It was as if the air was filled with a chilling air.
The people standing on the city wall are all leaders of the frontier army, or elites. Naturally, they cannot charge into battle like ordinary soldiers. Good steel must be used on steel blades.
After a while, Yan Jun had arrived near the city gate.
They were hundreds of feet away from the frontier troops, but at this distance, the war horses could arrive in an instant.
At the center of the Yan army, there was a general in full armor, surrounded by a group of sword cultivators. There were more than ten people in total, two of whom were Tiandan mirrors.
That general turned out to be the Great Perfection of the Heavenly Pill Mirror.
Zhao Tianming was a little curious.
Do you dare to attack the city with this kind of lineup?
Isn't this seeking death?
The war between the two armies did not happen overnight. It was actually a war of attrition.
Moreover, this place is very vast, and both sides can increase their troops at any time.
The more important point is that although the two armies are facing each other, what is actually more tested are the warrior-level masters and sword cultivators on both sides.
There is no use in large numbers.
Just like the several battles in Taiping Village, did the Yan army have enough people?
But in the end, they were all defeated and almost the entire army was destroyed.
Zhao Tianming was stunned, but he didn't expect that more than a dozen sword cultivators from the Yan army had already risen into the air, drawing their swords and preparing to take action. Beside him, there were also a dozen sword cultivators from the border army rushing out.
In just a short time, the battle formations below had begun to charge each other.
Every second, someone dies.
And he was dying at an extremely fast rate.
There was blood everywhere and broken limbs everywhere.
The war has just begun and has already entered a feverish stage.
The sword cultivators of both sides were fighting above, and the cavalry were fighting below. The general stood alone at the rear of the battlefield, with only dozens of personal guards around him.
"Zhao Gongfeng, when are you going to see us again? They say you have extraordinary combat power. Why don't you open your eyes for me today? How about you go and capture the enemy general?"
Suddenly, someone laughed at Zhao Tianming.
