"General Dongfang, I'm afraid Shuangfengguan Fortress cannot be defended. We should withdraw our troops immediately and return to defend the royal city!"
Seeing the elite Xia army, they were like paper under the hooves of the black-armored cavalry.
Nangong Jian couldn't help but persuade Dongfang City at this time.
After hearing Nangong Jian's words, Dongfang City fell silent.
He knew very well that from the moment the fortress gate was breached, the Shuangfengguan Fortress could not be saved.
Once the fortress was breached, Xia's royal city was undefendable and had to face Zhao's troops.
"General Nangong, you set out immediately to bring the news of the fall of Shuangfengguan Fortress back to the Royal City, so that the defenders of the Royal City can prepare."
After a while, Dongfangcheng said with a trembling tone:
"At the same time, immediately send someone to contact Marshal Nangong Wudi and ask him to return to the royal city immediately to help."
The terrifying strength of Marshal Zhao made Dongfang City completely understand that if there were no strong men of the same level, the royal city would not be able to defend it.
Nangong Wudi must be recalled so that the Xia Kingdom can have a chance of not being destroyed.
"What about you, General Dongfang?"
After hearing what Dongfang Cheng said, Nangong Jian couldn't help but ask.
"I have guarded the fortress for decades, and I should live and die with the fortress!"
Seeing the Zhao army pouring into the fortress, Dongfangcheng showed a trace of determination on his face.
However, his words made Nangong Jian's expression change drastically.
"No General Dongfang!"
"Now that Marshal Nangong is on an expedition to Qingzhou, the defense of the royal city needs the command of an experienced general like you, General,"
"I think General Dongfang should withdraw with us!"
Grabbing Dongfang Cheng's hand, Nangong Jian said earnestly.
In his opinion, Dongfang City's strategy and force were only inferior to Nangong Wudi.
The destruction of the Shuangfengguan Fortress this time had nothing to do with the command of Dongfang City. The enemy was simply too powerful.
So he didn't want to see Dongfang City staying here to die.
"No need, there are many generals in the royal city, and I am not missing one."
But Dongfangcheng couldn't listen to Nangong Jian's words at all. He seemed to have already made up his mind to die.
"Besides, it takes time for General Nangong to return to the royal city. I can buy you time here!"
Holding the sword tightly in his hand, Dongfang Cheng looked at the chaotic battlefield with a very calm tone.
"Old General!"
After hearing Dongfangcheng's words, Nangong Jian wanted to continue persuading him, but feeling the firmness in Dongfangcheng's tone, he didn't say anything.
He knew very well in his heart that it was impossible for people like Dongfang Cheng to take a step back.
Even though he knew that staying in the fortress was a certain death situation, as a soldier and a descendant of the Dongfang family, Dongfang City would fight until the last moment, just like his name.
The city is here and the people are there! The city was destroyed and people died!
"Take care of yourself!"
Faced with Dongfangcheng's persistence, Nangong Jian finally chose to respect him. After bowing to Dongfangcheng, he turned around and left without hesitation.
The situation no longer allows Nangong Jian to delay any longer. If the news is sent back to the royal city as early as possible, more preparations can be made.
Here, as soon as Nangong Jian left, Marshal Zhao held a spear and rose directly into the sky.
In front of him, the city wall more than thirty meters high could not stop him at all.
In the blink of an eye, Marshal Zhao landed on the wall of the fortress. He didn't even move a finger, but his terrifying momentum when he landed directly blew away the Xia soldiers who were rushing up.
The spear hit the ground of the city wall, and suddenly cracks appeared on the ground of the city wall made of hard granite.
"I am here, who dares to fight with me?"
Looking at the Xia soldiers who were cowering around and not daring to step forward, Marshal Zhao laughed and said.
Terrifying coercion emanated from his body, instantly stunning the surrounding ordinary soldiers of the Xia Kingdom.
Even Dongfang City's trusted lieutenant general was so oppressed that it was difficult to move under the terrifying pressure of Marshal Zhao.
"Stop being so arrogant, I'm here to meet you!"
Facing the shouts of Marshal Zhao, Dongfangcheng raised the sword in his hand without showing any signs of weakness. Yuan energy surged around his body, and he shouted loudly with murderous intent on his face.
At this moment, as Dongfang City's voice sounded, three figures rushed to Dongfang City at extremely fast speeds.
After these three people appeared, the Xia soldiers who were full of admiration could not help but reveal a glimmer of hope on their faces.
Because these three people are the other three generals who govern the country in Shuangfengguan Fortress.
Murong Qingshan, Shangguanxiong, Zhao Tianba.
The three of them are all strong men in the realm of high-level martial arts. They have been on the battlefield for many years and have extremely strong fighting abilities. With them and the ninth level of martial arts in Dongfang City, they might not be able to compete with the Generalissimo of Zhao State.
Seeing the three generals arriving together, Dongfangcheng couldn't help but reveal a hint of relief on his face.
He knew very well that with his own strength, he was no match for Marshal Zhao. Now with three helpers, he could barely fight against Marshal Zhao.
After standing together with Dongfang City, the three Zhenguo generals looked at Marshal Zhao in front of them, with extremely solemn expressions on their faces.
Judging from the terrifying pressure on the opponent, this opponent's strength is beyond imagination.
Even if the four of them join forces, the possibility of defeating their opponent is very slim.
But now that the situation at Shuangfengguan Fortress is critical, they can only do their best and listen to fate.
"Are you the strongest in Shuangfeng Pass Fortress?"
Looking at the Xia generals who suddenly appeared, Marshal Zhao glanced at them silently, with a disdainful expression on his face, and then said in a disappointed tone:
"It's really depressing, and you only allow me to stretch my muscles!"
In an instant, the words of Marshal Zhao shocked all the Xia soldiers on the fortress wall.
Three strong men in the realm of high-level martial arts, plus a strong man in the ninth level of perfect martial arts. In the eyes of the General Marshal of the State of Zhao, they are only allowed to move his muscles. How arrogant is this? What is the Marshal of the State of Zhao? How powerful do you have to have such confidence?
However, at this time, Marshal Zhao didn't care about everyone's opinions. He picked up the spear in his hand and pointed it diagonally at the ground. He looked at the four people in Dongfang City and said in a contemptuous tone:
"Which one of you will die first?"
Facing the provocation of Marshal Zhao, several people in Dongfang City did not speak, but silently gathered their energy.
Strong energy fluctuations surged through the bodies of the four people, and soon under the control of the four, their respective martial spirits appeared behind them.
"I'll go first!"
While speaking, Zhao Tianba took a step forward and stood in front of the three of them.
Behind Zhao Tianba, a huge Guqin was floating there, surrounded by two haloes of white and green.
This is the Xuan-level martial soul that Zhao Tianba awakened, Tianyin Qin.
