Except for the meeting hall, under the long stairs and in the wide square, everything was dark and filled with troops.
These are the defenders of the City Lord's Mansion, holding war spears and staring nervously at the City Lord's Mansion.
Jun Wuxie stood on the steps, scanning the whole place with his eyes, and roared like a tiger: "Qinshan has collaborated with the enemy and treason, colluded with Xilin, intends to lure Xilin's army into the pass, and ignored the people on the border. I have now punished him!"
boom!
After he finished speaking, the tens of thousands of troops arrayed here, armed with war spears, suddenly took a step forward, their momentum soaring into the sky.
"Are you determined to follow Qin Shan in treason?" Jun Wuxie walked down the stairs, golden blood surging, transforming into real dragons and tigers on both sides of his body, and every step he took made the whole square tremble.
"Now, I give you two choices! First, put down your weapons and swear allegiance to Marshal Ji; second, raise the spears in your hands and attack me. In the end, you will all die here, leaving you with infamy throughout the ages. Spurned! And your family will no longer have a place because of your actions!"
As he spoke, he walked step by step towards the square under the stairs without stopping. The dragon walked and the tiger walked, the real dragon roared and the tiger roared, constantly impacting the nerves of these soldiers.
The weapons in the soldiers' hands trembled involuntarily.
Fear arose in my heart.
They are not very afraid of death, but it is unacceptable to be reviled after death and become sinners who betrayed the country and nation.
What's even more unacceptable is that one's own relatives have been implicated because of this!
Bang!
I don’t know who dropped the war spear first.
Suddenly, like a butterfly effect, the sound of weapons falling to the ground resounded throughout the square.
Tens of thousands of soldiers all dropped their weapons and knelt down with a bang.
"I realize my mistake and ask the Marshal for mercy!"
"I can let things go in the past!" Ji Yinlan came to Jun Wuxie and said, "Soldiers, have you ever thought deeply about why you joined the army, put on armor, and held a spear in your hand?" "
"Defend the home and the country?" Ji Yinlan's voice echoed here: "Defending the home and the country has never been an abstract idea, nor is it just an empty slogan! Only when the country is stable can your little family be able to survive Live a stable life in a peaceful and prosperous era. The country is broken, the enemy's cavalry will trample every inch of the rivers and mountains, and there will be no eggs left under the nest. How can your family survive?"
"Put on your armor, pick up your war spears, and guard the borders of the country, which means guarding your home! Remember, in front of you is a war, a bloody battlefield, billowing beacon smoke, and rivers of blood. There are mountains of corpses. But as long as you stand upright, behind you is a prosperous world of peace, and the happy smiling faces of your wives, children, children, and children!"
"Marshal, we know our mistake!"
The eyes of the soldiers were red. From the low morale before to the hot blood at this moment, everyone's eyes were burning with fire.
"It's just that, General, did he...really collude with Xilin?"
The soldiers still didn't want to believe it. How could the general collude with Xilin?
"If Qin Shan had no problem, why would we kill him at this time?"
Jun Wuxie immediately took out the rune memory stone and showed the recorded scene on the spot.
Suddenly, Qin Shan's smug face, his rebellious words, and his cold words and deeds deeply shocked the soldiers!
"Now, the entire border situation is in crisis. I won't say much more. You should go to Xicheng District immediately and set up a defensive formation there! The people of Shunyi City will temporarily move to the East City for refuge. I want you to guard the two gates of the West City no matter what. Sun! Before that, we must not let the Xilin army break through!"
"Swear to the death to complete the mission!"
The eyes of the soldiers were firm.
They were originally the elite of the border army and had lived on the border for generations. Many of them lived in Shunyi, or in villages and towns outside the main city of Shunyi.
Once this city is completely breached, their wives, children, and children will be massacred!
"Soldiers, follow me!"
The generals quickly evacuated with their troops and headed for the Xicheng area.
At this time, a general of the Xuanjia Army came in a hurry.
"Commander Zhou, how is the battle situation in Shunyi Border City?"
Ji Yinlan asked.
Commander Zhou shook his head and said: "The border city has been breached. The Xilin army is coming quickly and fiercely. There are estimated to be more than a million soldiers and horses attacking Shunyi City!"
"How are the people in the border town doing?"
"They all hid in the cellar." Commander Zhou said: "After Xilin's army entered the city, they came directly to pursue us, leaving a small camp of more than 2,000 people to prepare to massacre the city. But we had expected this, Three thousand mysterious armors were ambushed in the city in advance!"
"Marshal, the Xilin army attacking Shunyi City includes 200,000 heavy cavalry, 150,000 light cavalry, 50,000 archers, and more than 600,000 infantry, including more than 200,000 heavy infantry!"
Commander Zhou looked solemn: "The three-three combat method formulated by the marshal and Mr. Jun. Our Xuanjia Army has no time to practice and can only practice it on the spot. We are somewhat unfamiliar with it. I'm afraid it will be difficult to deal with so many Xilin cavalry!"
"You have no confidence anymore?"
"Yes!" Commander Zhou's words were sonorous: "No matter how many people there are in his Xilin army, if he wants to break through Shunyi and attack the capital from here, it will be impossible unless the entire Xuanjia army is killed!"
Ji Yinlan nodded and said, "Are everything arranged as planned?"
"Reporting to the marshal, everything has been arranged. In Tieyuan Ridge between the border city and the main city of Shunyi, 500,000 Xuanjia soldiers and 600,000 border troops have long been lurking. In Sanliping, near the main city, 100,000 The border troops are also well arranged!"
"How is the battle situation in the remaining cities and passes on the border?"
"The general is about to report to the marshal! The situation in Jinhu City is very critical. It is the second main target of the Xilin Army. They have deployed 300,000 troops there, including 80,000 heavy cavalry! And we are deployed there Our frontier army only has less than 30,000 troops, and including the 8,000 soldiers of the Xuanjia Army who rushed in yesterday, we only have more than 30,000 troops!"
Ji Yinlan immediately took out the map, looked at it, and said: "If there is an army with rich soldiers near Jinhu City, let them send some of their troops to support!"
Commander Zhou shook his head.
Ji Yinlan was silent for a moment, and then said in a deep voice: "If you can't hold it, you have to hold it! Send an order to them to hold on for two days no matter what! We will try to annihilate Shunyi's Xilin Cavalry within two days!"
"yes!"
Commander Zhou immediately opened the special military communication jade talisman and conveyed Ji Yinlan's order to Jinhu City.
At this time, Jinhu City was completely covered in ice and snow, with a temperature of more than 100 degrees below zero, extremely cold.
There is a canyon here. The entrance is long and narrow, and the ground is uneven.
Only dozens of cavalry can be accommodated to charge side by side at a time.
In the canyon, there were many war horses, soldiers wrapped in iron armor, and the corpses of the Black Armor Army.
All these corpses were frozen into ice sculptures.
The only parts of those Xilin cavalry that were not covered by armor were their necks and eyes.
Their necks were either penetrated by crossbow arrows, or their throats were bitten tightly by the soldiers of the Xuanjia Army, and together they turned into ice sculptures in the ice and snow.
Inside the canyon, there are only simple walls made of ice blocks. They were not built in the past, but were built temporarily.
There is no city here, no walls to defend.
The only way to stop the Xilin Iron Cavalry is to eliminate them at the mouth of this narrow valley!
At this time, a group of Xilin heavy cavalry rushed into the canyon. Looking at the ice sculpture corpses on the ground, their eyes flashed with cold light. They involuntarily slowed down and carefully observed the surrounding situation.
The temporary ice wall built by the Zhou army could be seen from a distance, but their soldiers could not be seen.
"Are these Zhou soldiers all frozen?"
The leading cavalry captain observed the surroundings and spoke in Xilin dialect.
"It's better to be careful. I'm afraid they might have an ambush. Why can't you see anyone?"
The bearded vice-captain said.
"Hmph, how can they lay an ambush in such a cold weather? Do you think they can hide people here? If they can't ambush, people in the Xiantian realm won't be able to bear it!"
At this moment, the thick snow on the slopes on both sides of the canyon suddenly moved slightly, and a pair of eyes with eyelashes covered with ice scum were revealed, followed by faces with cracks in the ice. .
That was the Xuanjia Army, and everyone was biting the spicy peppers known as nightmares, which are abundant in Dazhou, to ward off the cold and keep their minds clear at all times to avoid fainting in the extreme cold.
The wind and snow howled, making a harsh sound in the canyon.
The Xilin Cavalry Captain showed disdain in his eyes and said: "Dazhou is just a low-level nation, a group of weak and sick men. How can they stop our Xilin Tiger and Wolf Army? Even with the help of natural dangers, they can only resist for half a day at most."
"Hahaha!"
The other cavalrymen laughed when they heard this.
At this moment, hundreds of figures suddenly rushed out of the snow on the slopes on both sides.
In groups of three, they rushed towards the Xilin heavy cavalry.
Each locks their own goals.
The two of them attacked from left to right, and one of them released a crossbow, aiming at the target's neck.
"Be careful, there is an ambush!"
Captain Xilin Cavalry yelled, but he was calm and did not panic.
until……
puff!
One after another crossbow arrows penetrated the neck of the cavalry who was unable to dodge, and he completely lost his calm.
"Quick! Counterattack with crossbows!"
Xilin's heavy cavalry are also equipped with crossbows.
However, before they had time to take out the crossbows, the Xuanjia Army rushed in front of them.
In order to avoid being hit by the war horses, they all attacked in the air, and everyone went straight to the enemy's vital points.
At the same time, the third person in the trio kept shooting with rapid-fire crossbows from behind!
For a time, the Xilin cavalry were in chaos.
This battle lasted only half an hour.
More than two hundred cavalrymen in Xilin all fell in the canyon.
More than ten people on the Xuanjia Army side were injured, some with slightly deeper wounds that directly lost their combat effectiveness.
In such a cold place, once the flesh and blood is punctured, the flesh, flesh, tissues and organs inside will instantly freeze under the extreme cold and lose all functions.
"You carry them to the tent behind the ice wall to rest, and the rest immediately clean up the battlefield to see if there are any pills on the Xilin cavalry. Don't waste any of them. In this weather, we consume too many resources and it takes a long time. I’m afraid supplies will be very scarce!”
A Qianhu Lieutenant from the Xuanjia Army commanded in an orderly manner.
…
At the same time, Shunyicheng.
Jun Wuxie and Ji Yinlan arrived at the first front, Tieyuan Ridge.
After Xilin's army broke through the border town, they marched straight in.
At this moment, the endless army had entered the boundary of Tieyuan Ridge and got into the ambush circle.
