The sun is at its peak.
The solid southern wall of Wuyaguan has collapsed.
It was a huge opening about thirty feet wide, which divided Wuya Pass into two.
The nosebleeds on his face were mixed with dust, and his eyes were dull.
The Red Flame Army's firework attack seemed to have stopped. He supported the wall with both hands and looked at Guanxia, his mind filled with despair.
Many people died.
Five thousand people came out!
How many people are left?
How long will it take for the soldiers from Qichengzhai to arrive?
That's too late!
They arrived just in time to die!
His Royal Highness, Your Majesty... Your Majesty...
Gou Kuo suddenly burst into tears, "I, I will die!"
Zhang Shiqiang, the right deputy general of the border guard, hurried over at this moment, "General!"
Gou Kuo wiped away his tears and asked in despair, "How many people can fight?"
"...Back to General, I don't know about the south, but we still have ten thousand people here who can fight!"
Gou Kuo took a deep breath and said, "Pass this general's order and order everyone to go down the pass and guard the broken wall..."
"You must keep it!"
"If the cavalry from Qichengzhai can arrive in the middle of the night... we still have a chance!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the soldiers rushed over and said, "Report to the general!"
"explain!"
"……Ran,"
Gou Kuo frowned: "What ran away?"
"The soldiers guarding the gate have escaped!"
Gou Kuo was shocked. He grabbed the collar of the messenger and pulled him over. He glared at the messenger fiercely: "What did you say?"
The messenger's lower body suddenly felt hot, and an unpleasant odor filled the air.
"Those who were guarding the gate, those tens of thousands of soldiers who were still alive, they, they just ran away!"
Gou Kuo didn't seem to smell the smell, and his eyes widened: "Why did they run away?!"
"...There are rumors that General General you, you... were killed in battle!"
Gou Kuo's eyes darkened, his hands loosened, and the messenger fell to the ground. His hands were holding on to the city wall, and his body was teetering.
Zhang Shiqiang quickly supported him. After a few breaths, when he saw Gou Kuo woke up, he carefully whispered:
"General, the enemy has begun to take action..."
"We have no one to defend us. Staying here is a dead end. How about... leaving the green hills without worrying about having no firewood... General, if you don't leave, it will be too late!"
Gou Kuo suddenly pushed Zhang Shiqiang away.
He staggered and laughed.
"This great general is rich in knowledge and skills, and his sand table deduction is unrivaled!"
"How could this great general lose?"
"You, you villains who deceive the public with your monstrous words...this general is going to kill you all...all of you!"
He pulled out the broad sword from his waist with a clanging sound. Zhang Shiqiang took a look and realized that the general was probably crazy!
Gotta run!
He can't be a lieutenant general, and he can't be a soldier either. He can only fall into the trap of being a bandit.
Just as he turned around, a hooking voice came from behind him:
"etc!"
Zhang Shiqiang stopped and turned around, and was surprised to see Gou Kuo inserting the broad sword into the scabbard.
His complexion actually returned to normal!
Even his tone of voice became calmer.
"This battle is not my fault, General!"
"The enemy's fireworks are really powerful!"
"I have figured it out, General. You are right. You can keep the green hills without worrying about having firewood..."
He looked at the soldiers of the Red Flame Army who were charging upwards below, and wiped his face, "I still have a chance, General! Don't give up so easily!"
"There is also my General's 70,000-strong army in Qicheng Village! This General-General should assemble an army of 70,000 to come back again!"
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that making fireworks is not easy. How many fireworks are left by the enemy?"
"It's not much!"
"This Wuya Pass is still..."
Zhang Shiqiang interrupted him, "General, if you want to run, run quickly!"
"All the war horses were snatched away by those ruffians!"
Gou Kuo was startled: "Then what are you waiting for? Let's go!"
…
…
The healing medicine that Xiao Wu asked so many doctors to prepare was not used at all.
The Red Flame Army just rushed into the collapsed place, rushed into Wuya Pass, and rushed to the wall.
Along the long wall, except for those with broken limbs and severely injured people who were still lingering, there was no enemy who could stand up.
The entire battlefield is comparable to Shura Field.
The smell of gunpowder smoke still lingers in the air.
There was also the smell of burnt corpses in the smoke.
Yan Jinong climbed onto the wall and began to organize his soldiers to clean up the battlefield and prepare for the reinforcements from Qichengzhai.
Wu Mian stayed behind and ordered his troops to push the catapults to Wuya Pass.
He went to the camp of the Divine Guards alone and stood in front of Yuan Su.
He bowed his hands and said, "Hello, General Yuan!"
Yuan Su returned the salute: "You are now a general. This battle... has changed the pattern of war for thousands of years. Your name will definitely be recorded in history with this battle!"
Wu Mian shook his head and smiled: "It's all because of the sharpness of the weapon, not my fault. If you want to talk about merit... this merit belongs to none other than the Regent!"
Yuan Su pondered for three breaths and asked: "So, the catapult was also made by the regent?"
"Exactly!"
Yuan Su looked at the riddled Wuyaguan, "He... is indeed extraordinary!"
Wu Mian asked: "What is the next task of the old general...?"
"Enter the Kingdom of Wu!"
Wu Mian was shocked: "Invading the Wu Kingdom alone?"
"Exactly!"
"Why?"
A smile appeared on Yuan Su's old face. He did not answer Wu Mian's question, but said, "What? Are you worried that I will stab you in the back?"
Wu Mian was not modest, so he replied: "The Red Flame Army can't stand even a knife in the waist!"
Yuan Su looked at Guanqiang and stroked his long beard: "I heard that Li Chenan said something, Ningren's sword should never be pointed at Ningren!"
"So you can rest assured that I and the Divine Guards are all Ningren."
Wu Mian pondered for three breaths, "The wall has been broken. When will the old general prepare to set off?"
"hold on."
"What are you waiting for?"
"Wait until you eliminate the main force of Qicheng Village in Xiayuanzhou."
"Old General, do you think the soldiers from Qicheng Village will come to die?"
"If Xia Li is the general, the soldiers of Qicheng Stronghold will of course choose to stick to Qicheng Stronghold, but this Gou Bao... he will definitely lead his troops here!"
Wu Mian looked at Yuan Su's back. After a moment, he asked another question: "Shuzhou, if Huihe invades, who can stop it?"
Yuan Su turned back to look at Wu Mian, "The Uighurs will not invade!"
"Why is the old general so sure?"
"Because Wen Boyu wrote a letter to his wife, Ye Wan, the seventh princess of the chief of Uihe. You must also know that the seventh princess still loves him deeply. It just so happens that the words of the seventh princess are still in Huihe these years. It has some effect.”
Wu Mian frowned slightly again, "So, does Wen Boiyu also know about the Divine Guards leaving and coming back?"
"certainly!"
Yuan Su paused and then explained: "Wen Boyu probably got the news that the regent was still alive earlier than you. The Marquis is in Kyoto, and the old lady has passed away, so the Marquis ordered the Divine Guards to enter Wu Kingdom!"
Wu Mian showed another hint of doubt: "Rescue the regent? Fifty thousand people go deep into the hinterland of the Wu Kingdom alone, and then reach the Xijian Tower?"
Yuan Su shook his head: "No."
"What's the purpose of that?"
"Chaos Wu!"
"...Why?"
Yuan Su pulled out the knife on his back with a "Qiang!" sound.
Wu Mian's pupils shrank, that was the Bailian Sword!
Yuan Su looked at the sword, "There are fifty thousand people in the Divine Guard Army, fifty thousand of these hundred-refined swords, that's all!"
Wu Mian pondered for three breaths, then turned around and left.
