When Ni Huzi was in a state of shock, the sound of footsteps hurriedly came from behind him. When he looked back, he saw monkeys and a group of soldiers on duty running down from the top of the city one after another. Although the faces of these young frontier men were still... There was panic, but his eyes did not flinch at all.
They held swords and guns in hand and vowed to protect the city to the death.
Ni Huzi's stiff face finally showed some relief, and he suddenly felt that his whole body had regained strength.
This power comes from the spirit of unity and the thunderous sound of horse hooves in the city.
"That's great. I, the man from the Yongbian Army, have never been a coward!"
Ni Huzi's chest was filled with blood. He stared outside the city gate and shouted loudly: "Is the border of Dayong a place where barbarians can come and go at will? Everyone, follow me and rush out!"
He waved his sword and ran towards the smoke-filled city gate first.
Monkey and the others did not hesitate, and everyone shouted in unison, followed by swarms of people.
At this moment, a cavalry team of 100 people roared towards the city gate.
After the cavalry, three teams of 500 infantrymen were running quickly and orderly. Under the command of three generals wearing red tassels and black robes and armor, the three teams of infantry were The soldiers acted in an orderly but rapid manner. Two groups of people rushed to the top of the city. One group of people set up a formation in the city and began to prepare for the battle.
For a time, the top of Xiaoyangguan City was full of people and figures, rolling wood and stones, bows, arrows, kerosene and other defensive weapons were all prepared in a very short time, and the supporting border troops also guarded their positions. , the arrows are on the strings, the swords are unsheathed, and they are ready to prepare for the tense situation as if a war is imminent.
Ni Beard led a group of soldiers and roared out of the city corridor. In front of them, they saw the broken city gate filled with smoke and dust, and the terrifying figure in the smoke.
Long Ri Kuangyang stood with his hands behind his back. He heard the noise coming from the city gate, and saw the sudden appearance of many defenders on the city top, as well as the bows, arrows and crossbows aimed at him and the three hundred Fengyan Iron Cavalry behind him. .
Long Ri Kuangyang lowered his eyes and no longer looked at the grand confrontation at the top of the city. He turned his gaze to the city gate and suddenly smiled at the corner of his mouth.
Because he saw a group of soldiers shouting and rushing out towards him at the city gate.
"These Central Plains people are somewhat brave and courageous." Long Ri Kuangyang sneered, with a look of approval in his eyes.
Long Ri Kuangyang knew very well that the border city defenders had long been deeply shocked by the extraordinary ability he deliberately revealed. Under such circumstances, they could still bravely leave the city. This shows that Dayong's soldiers also It's not all bad.
Then he touched the ground with both feet, and his whole body was as light as a shadow and stepped back without touching the ground.
He retreated more than ten feet, still holding his hands behind his back during the process, and his leisurely expression showed arrogance.
Ni Huzi and others who rushed out of the city gate couldn't help but feel surprised when they saw Long Ri Kuangyang suddenly withdrawing. Everyone stopped and stared at the arrogant figure, wondering what his next move would be.
At this time, the sound of horse hooves came quickly at the city gate, and the hundreds of cavalry teams rushed out of the city gate. Ni Huzi and others got out of the way, and saw the cavalry team spread out in a straight line outside the city gate in an instant, with two people in the distance. The barbarian cavalry a hundred steps away faced each other and faced each other.
Among the cavalry, a dark and sturdy war horse suddenly galloped out like a whirlwind. After running a few feet, the war horse suddenly jumped into the air with a long neigh and stood up. On the horse was a black man with a tiger-backed and bear-like waist. General A held a long wrought-iron stick eight feet thick as a bowl of sea. Amidst the neighing of the war horses, General Black-armored shouted and nailed the long wrought-iron stick heavily to the snow in front of him. Stones splashed, and the momentum was overwhelming.
"Who dares to act so recklessly in the important border area of Dayong?"
The black-armored general shouted angrily with a voice like muffled thunder, and his tiger eyes shot out two angry flames, staring closely at the figure who was more than ten feet away on the opposite side.
Ni Huzi looked at the black-armored general's burly figure like a tiger, and couldn't help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Among the northern border troops, I am afraid there is no one who does not know the black-armored general in front of him, who is as strong as a tiger and has the temper of a tiger.
This person is a close confidant of the military governor Wei Changxin. He is known as the "Barbarian Tiger" in the army. He is also the forward captain who leads the "Huya Camp" infantry: Shi Mang.
Long Ri Kuangyang stopped and looked at the person and horse opposite him with his hands behind his hands, but did not answer.
He saw the man on horseback, who was probably in his early thirties, with a strong and sturdy body like a tiger. Although he was wearing armor, he was not wearing a helmet, and his hair was like thorns on his head. The face with clear outlines like iron and stone exudes a rebellious look, and one can tell at a glance that he is a brave general.
The two of them were more than ten feet apart, and their eyes collided in the air, as if a burst of invisible sparks had collided.
With their eyes facing each other, Shi Mang, who looked like a tiger on horseback and looked like a tiger, suddenly felt a chill in his heart, and a chill ran down his spine at the same time.
Although Shi Mang is a general of the border army, he is actually a pure martial artist. He may not have any reputation in the world, but he is known as the number one fighter in the frontier army, and his personal martial arts skills are extremely impressive. The warrior's perception of the strong is the most direct and accurate. So just by making eye contact, Shi Mang already knew that the person opposite him was by no means an ordinary person.
Longri Kuangyang raised his eyebrows slightly. He took a closer look at the black-armored general on the horse opposite him, with some admiration in his eyes.
Although Shi Mang had already learned from the soldiers who reported the news that the enemy coming tonight was most likely the Northern Wilderness barbarians, so he quickly led his troops to support them. But now that I have seen that man's magnanimity with my own eyes, the disdain and contempt I had had suddenly dissipated, leaving only unprecedented vigilance and vigilance.
Shi Mang secretly observed that although there were only three hundred horses on the opposite side, he could clearly feel the cold and murderous aura from those barbarians. As a frontier general who has been in the army for many years, Shi Mang knows better than anyone that if he is not a person who often fights and kills, he will never have the kind of momentum that can make people feel chilled from the bottom of his heart.
Shi Mang had also long heard that the barbarians' tradition for thousands of years was to continuously conquer and kill. They thirsted for blood and admired absolute power. Now that I have seen it with my own eyes, I know that the rumors are indeed true.
Shi Mang was still furious because he really didn't want to believe that after nearly three hundred years, the barbarians would choose to suddenly attack the important border areas of the Dayong Dynasty tonight! When he first received the report, he even cursed Che Shuangyuan's soldiers as cowards and cowards. It wasn't until he heard the sound of war drums coming from the city in the distance that Shi Mang realized that something was wrong. He immediately ordered three groups of soldiers and horses, totaling 1,500 people, plus more than a hundred of his own personal guards. Rushed to support.
Shi Mang was famous for his bad temper. Even when he led his troops to support, he still did not fully believe that the barbarian cavalry had appeared outside the city. In his opinion, they were at most just a group of bandits disguised as barbarians. When he arrived, they would definitely kill them all.
But what he saw now was that even Shi Mang had never seen the barbarian cavalry. At this moment, he was already sure that the three hundred cavalry and that person on the opposite side were barbarians. And Shi Mang, who had always put blood and courage first, now had to calm down and deal with it carefully.
Although he had secretly determined the origin of the other party, Shi Mang still spoke again and asked in a deep voice: "Who is coming? Why did you destroy my border city gate? Why don't you tell me your name quickly!"
His voice was rich, and his words sounded like muffled thunder.
The dragon sun was as motionless as a mountain, and the three hundred Fengyan cavalry behind him also stopped roaring at this time. Three hundred pairs of eyes were staring at Xiaoyang Pass. Their horses were tapping their iron hooves restlessly, and there was a heavy feeling. The chilling atmosphere is gradually spreading in the confrontation between the two sides.
Long Ri Kuangyang raised his brows slightly, glanced at Shi Mang with disdain, and suddenly laughed loudly, and saw him speak loudly in pure Central Plains dialect: "I have always heard that this city is said to be unbreakable for hundreds of years by the Yong Dynasty, but it is a pity that so-called It's really disappointing that a hundred-year-old pass was defeated with just one blow." Shi Mang didn't expect that a barbarian could speak such fluent Central Plains dialect. When he heard this, his face suddenly turned livid, and he became furious and shouted sharply. Said: "Arrogant person, who are you?"
Long Ri Kuangyang laughed loudly and said in a loud voice: "I have heard that Wei Changxin is sitting here with a great talent. I have already known it, and now I come here in person to give him a big gift with my own hands."
He suddenly stretched out his right hand and pointed at the Feng Yan banner inserted in the middle of Xiaoyang Pass. He looked around the entire Xiaoyang Pass, and then his voice suddenly dropped, as if carrying an extremely heavy pressure, he said slowly: "This is the battle flag of the Fengyan tribe of my ancient martial arts tribe. It is my meeting gift to Wei Changxin. I hope he will remember my name well from tonight..."
"All of you are the same, please remember it well..." Long Ri Kuangyang's words rolled through everyone's ears like Shen Lei: "My name is, Long Ri Kuangyang!"
Shi Mang suddenly turned his head and looked towards the city, and he suddenly became furious!
All the border soldiers heard this sentence, and everyone was shocked by it, and they all felt the fear brought by this name.
The Wind Flame Department, the Dragon Sun and the Yang Yang!
Although those Great Yongbian troops had never seen real barbarian cavalry, everyone had heard of the names of the fifteen northwest cities and the five barbarian tribes. The meaning of their existence was also to resist the legendary barbarians. But now that they had actually seen the enemy they had imagined, everyone was left with shock and panic.
According to legend, the Fengyan tribe is the most powerful tribe among the barbarians, and Longri Kuangyang is the undefeated god of war who can make the entire barbarian tribe fear him.
Ni Huzi felt as if he had been struck by lightning. He simply couldn't believe that the person who shattered the city gate with that blow was the legendary Dragon Sun Kuangyang.
Countless people have fantasized about what this person looks like. From those rumors and descriptions that are not accurate, people describe the image of Long Sun Kuangyang as being several feet tall and powerful, with three heads and six arms, and a bloodthirsty demon-like appearance. Perhaps in that remote and wild land, such an image has the power to intimidate everything.
Of course Shi Mang also knew the names of Fengyan Department and Longri Kuangyang. In the sandbox of secrets and battle plans in Zhenbian Mansion, Fengyan Department is the biggest imaginary enemy, and Longri Kuangyang is also a terrible enemy that gives all the border generals a headache, although none of them have actually seen that enemy.
And now when Shi Mang heard the man say his name with his own ears, the young forward captain who was full of courage couldn't help but trembled all over, and the chill came up again in his spine.
When he saw the wind-flamed flag on the head of Xiaoyang Pass, the furious Shi Mang could not help but rush forward and beat the man into a puddle of meat with the eight-foot-long iron rod.
But now, even though Shi Mang was extremely angry, he had to force himself to be calm. As a pure martial artist with good cultivation, Shi Mang was not sure whether the barbarians also practiced martial arts, but based on his intuition as a martial artist, he You can feel that Longri Kuangyang is carrying absolutely powerful and terrifying power.
As for this kind of power, Shi Mang knew very well that it was absolutely impossible to fight against it based on his martial arts training.
Although Shi Mang has a violent personality and has always impressed the border troops with his bravery, he is not a reckless man without any sense. If he was really a reckless person who relied on bravery, how could Wei Changxin let him command the Tiger Tooth Infantry? After being furious, Shi Mang quickly calmed down and thoughts flashed in his mind.
The Dayong Dynasty and the barbarians have been at odds with each other for two to three hundred years, but there has never been a real war. In today's northern wasteland, many spies sent by the town border government over the years are lurking secretly, and they have never received any information about the barbarian invasion of the border. But now Long Ri Kuangyang suddenly appeared on the border without warning, provoking the border troops guarding the city. Such an action was enough to provoke a war that had been buried between the two sides for hundreds of years. But he could only bring a mere 300 cavalry. No matter how terrifying the Fengyan cavalry was rumored to be, and even if Longri Kuangyang personally went into battle, if he wanted to attack the heavily fortified Xiaoyang Pass with only 300 cavalry, then It's nothing more than a fool's dream.
Unless there are elite ambush troops of the barbarians lurking behind the three hundred cavalry. But if this is the case, the fifteen cities in the northwest are thousands of miles away from the Dayong border. There is no way that such a massive action by the barbarians could be hidden from the spies of the town border house.
After Longri Kuangyang broke through the city gate with one strike, he did not take the opportunity to lead his troops to attack the city. Instead, he retreated leisurely. Such an unusual move is really thought-provoking.
Shi Mang's mind was spinning, and he had roughly guessed that Long Ri Kuangyang's actions tonight were most likely just provocations and demonstrations, and had no intention of large-scale invasion. But why he suddenly showed up to provoke and what his purpose was, Shi Mang couldn't figure it out in a hurry.
Shi Mang reined in the restless war horse under his crotch, looked beyond the raging sun of the dragon sun, and looked at the three hundred iron cavalry behind him who still did not make any movement. Although he was suspicious in his heart, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Although Shi Mang firmly believed that the Huya Camp infantry under his command could resist or even kill the three hundred barbarian cavalry, he had no confidence that they could resist Long Ri Kuangyang.
Although Longri Kuangyang is just one person, his threat is greater than the three hundred iron cavalry. Compared with the three hundred iron cavalry, Longri Kuangyang is the most terrifying danger at hand.
Shi Mang stared at the figure in black armor not far away with a stern face, took a deep breath, and asked in a deep voice: "Are you Long Ri Kuangyang?"
Long Ri Kuangyang's eyes were stern. He didn't even bother to answer Shi Mang's question. He smiled coldly and said, "You are not qualified to ask me questions."
Shi Mang's face darkened, and he couldn't help but burst into anger. He snorted coldly and said in a deep voice: "Longri Kuangyang, what are your intentions when you lead your troops across the border tonight and make such a provocative move?"
Longri Kuangyang raised his eyes and looked at the top of the city, and said calmly: "I just want to come and verify for myself whether Xiaoyang Pass, which is said to be unbreakable for a hundred years, is really unbreakable."
Shi Mang's face turned pale again.
"But it's such a pity." Longri Kuangyang shook his head slightly and sneered: "It's just a name, nothing more."
Shi Mang was furious, raised his hand and grabbed the long wrought iron stick on the ground, and said angrily: "You are too arrogant! I, Dayong, have lived in peace with you and other barbarians for hundreds of years, but now you are rashly provoking me. Are you really not afraid of me?" Will the blood of your barbarians flow like rivers due to the power of Yong Tian?"
"Rivers of blood?"
Hearing this, Long Ri Kuangyang burst out laughing, as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world. Then he shot his eyes at Shi Mang like knives and said solemnly: "You, a little captain, actually... If you dare to talk shamelessly in front of me, aren't you afraid that I can cut you into pieces with just a few clicks?"
Shi Mang's whole body was chilled by his cold eyes, and his chest felt as if someone had punched him hard from the air. He suddenly felt chest tightness and shortness of breath, and he couldn't help but feel horrified.
However, as the commander of the Huya Camp, he has the responsibility of guarding the border and resisting the enemy. In the face of a powerful enemy, he must not have the slightest intention of retreating from the enemy. Facing the arrogant power of Long Ri Kuang Yang, Shi Mang, relying on his natural courage, gritted his teeth and glared at each other angrily, saying sternly: "The land on the border of Dayong will not tolerate the unbridled foreign barbarians! Long Ri Kuang Yang, If you rely on force, you can give it a try and see if the tens of thousands of border troops in the city behind me can chop off your head!"
Long Ri Kuangyang suddenly laughed wildly, stared at Shi Mang sharply, and said in a deep voice: "It's just you?"
Shi Mang couldn't hold back his anger any longer. He clamped his feet on the horse's belly and rushed out angrily.
After the horse galloped five or six feet, Shi Mang's mighty tiger-like figure suddenly jumped up from the horse's back. With a loud roar, Shi Mang grasped the long wrought iron stick with both hands and hurled the stick towards Long Ri. The crazy sun hit my head.
The wrought iron rod was long and thick, and ordinary people could not swing it at all. However, Shi Mang was born with supernatural power and had pure martial arts skills, so the iron rod was as light as nothing in his hand. What's more, under such a furious strike, the iron rod roared loudly, and its power was truly astonishing.
But Longri Kuangyang stood still as still as a mountain. When he saw the iron bar above his head whizzing down, he just smiled slightly, then raised his right hand slightly and punched the astonishingly powerful iron bar.
In an instant, the iron rod collided with his fist, and a huge earthquake erupted. A strong wind surged between the fist and stick. Shi Mang's angry stick was bounced upwards, as if it had hit an iron wall. on the wall.
And Shi Mang was so shocked by the force of Long Ri Kuangyang's understated punch that he almost lost consciousness in his arms. He flipped backwards with the iron rod in his hand, and let out a cry from his mouth. Hum.
Shi Mang staggered to the ground, but without waiting for his feet to stand firm, he used the long stick in his hand to lift his body up into the air again, and then took advantage of the momentum to sweep back, finally sitting on the horse in a less embarrassing state. on the back.
Shi Mang's face turned pale for a while, and his hands were bleeding from the tiger's mouth.
But with just one punch, Shi Mang, the famous barbarian tiger in the frontier army, was defeated in one move.
Shi Mang's heart suddenly sank to the bottom, and the remaining power of that punch caused the blood in his body to surge, and he almost couldn't help but vomit a mouthful of blood.
He gritted his teeth and suppressed the boiling energy and blood in his body. He stared at Long Ri Kuangyang with an unbelievable look on his eyes.
"You alone are not qualified enough for me to kill you." Longri Kuangyang stood with his hands behind his back again, and that powerful stick prevented him from moving even an inch.
Shi Mang's mind was agitated. He already knew the power gap between himself and his opponent, and was speechless for a moment.
"Your name is Shi Mang?" Long Ri Kuangyang looked at him and asked suddenly.
Shi Mang didn't know why Long Ri Kuangyang, whom he had never met before, knew his name. He was shocked when he heard this. He clenched the iron rod in his hand and sneered: "Master, I am Shi Mang. How do you treat me?"
"Very good." Long Ri Kuangyang smiled instead of being angry, and said slowly: "I know your name. To be precise, I know all the important figures in your frontier army from Wei Changxin on down."
"I heard that you are known as the Barbarian Tiger in the army, with amazing strength, and you are Wei Changxin's most trusted subordinate." Longri Kuangyang looked at Shi Mang with interest, and his gaze made the latter's hair stand on end, "Shi Mang, I hope you are alive and well. It won’t be long before my Fengyan Iron Cavalry will break through the entire border of your Yong Dynasty. At that time, I allow you to fight with me and fulfill the military glory of your border army commander.”
Shi Mang couldn't help but tremble all over.
Long Ri Kuangyang smiled solemnly and continued: "I will let you watch with your own eyes as I unscrew your head."
Shi Manghu's eyes widened, and a frantic energy surged in his chest, making him almost jump off the horse.
Shi Mang was born with good bones, so he practiced martial arts since he was a child and followed the path of a pure martial artist. When he became an adult, he did not choose to make a career in the world, but instead joined the army. In the many years he has been in the army, he has never been despised and provoked like he was tonight. , that kind of humiliation drove him so crazy that he couldn't control his urge to take action.
He was trembling all over and was about to gallop up.
But he still didn't act rashly again, because he knew that even if he tried again, the result would be the same.
There is no luck before absolute strength.
But after saying these words, Long Ri Kuangyang retreated again. His unusually tall and domineering figure seemed as light as a shadow. Shi Mang, who was so confused with his blood and mind, couldn't help but be stunned. land.
Such a casual and leisurely movement is also an extraordinary level of cultivation in this world.
Shi Mang was stunned for a moment. He had only seen such extraordinary skills in his life. Could it be that in the barbarian land of the Northern Wilderness, far away from the Central Plains, there are also peerless masters practicing martial arts?
In that moment of confusion, Longri Kuangyang had already retreated to a position less than thirty steps away from the three hundred cavalry. Then the horse's long neighing sound was heard, and Longri Kuangyang's horse galloped out and galloped towards its owner.
Long Ri Kuangyang's body swayed into the air and landed steadily on the horse's back.
He was riding astride a war horse with a mountain-like momentum. Under his arrogant and domineering attitude, it seemed as if the entire earth was already under his feet.
Shi Mang could only gnash his teeth with hatred, but he was not sure whether there were other barbarian ambush troops, so he could not easily order a pursuit. I can only watch helplessly as the dragon sun recedes leisurely.
Long Ri Kuangyang turned around on his horse and looked at the crowd of soldiers and horses outside the city gate in the distance, with a pleasant smile on his face.
His purpose has been achieved.
Then he shouted towards Xiaoyang Pass: "Please be sure to tell your military governor that I, Longri Kuangyang, have heard of his name for a long time and will come to visit you again in the near future. You can go there then and don't let me down again." ah."
The sound came from far away, but it was still loud and long. Shi Mang roared angrily and said sternly: "Long Ri Kuangyang, I, Shi Mang, will be waiting for you here, and I, the Great Yongbian Army, will also be waiting for you here!"
Long Ri Kuangyang sneered, turned his horse's head and began to walk back.
The roars of the three hundred Fengyan Iron Cavalry began to boil fiercely, as if they had won a battle that had been held in for a long time.
Longri Kuangyang's horse was walking leisurely, and his eyes suddenly swept to the dark place beside him like a blade, where there seemed to be an invisible figure flashing slightly. Then he raised his eyebrows slightly, and the corners of his mouth cracked into a meaningful smile.
"Next, it's time to look at you, right?" Long Ri Kuangyang withdrew his gaze, exhaled slightly, and muttered to himself: "Will you be a person who can satisfy me?"
Before arriving at the cavalry formation, Heerchi was the first to ride out to greet him. He opened his mouth and shouted excitedly in barbarian language: "Chief Longri is indeed the God of War we admire. Look at those Central Plains people in front of you. Horses on the grassland are as weak as grass, and defeating them is as simple as horses eating grass."
Long Ri Kuangyang had no expression on his face. He just snorted softly and said in barbarian language: "He'erchi, if you really think so, then when we go to war, you will be the one who dies the fastest."
He Erchi's face suddenly froze, and he didn't know how to answer the question.
Long Ri Kuangyang raised his hand, and the three hundred cavalry fell silent.
"After meeting that person, you should go south. Many people there seem to have almost forgotten Feng Yan's name. They should kneel at my feet and pray for my charity."
The corners of Long Ri Kuangyang's mouth cracked again with an indifferent smile.
Shi Mang was still sitting on the horse. Wherever he looked, the figures of the three hundred cavalry had gradually disappeared into the cold and heavy night.
Shi Mang's face was ashen, his heart was full of mixed feelings, and his mind was in a mess.
"General..." Someone suddenly called him from behind Shi Mang, "Those arrogant barbarians, just let them go like this?"
Shi Mang turned around with a livid face and saw a man wearing armor who looked like a middle-aged lieutenant riding over on horseback. He looked into the darkness of the night with an unhappy face and cursed: "A bunch of uncivilized barbaric bastards. You deserve to be damned if you dare to provoke and cause trouble."
He said bitterly: "General, there are only two or three hundred of them. No matter how powerful the Dragon Sun Kuangyang is, he can't defeat tens of thousands of our soldiers! If we take the opportunity to chase them now, we will definitely kill them all." Kill them all to preserve the glorious reputation of our border army..."
This man is the immediate boss of Xiong Zhengye and Ni Huzi, the commander of the guard, Che Shuangyuan.
Shi Mang was furious and had nowhere to vent his anger. At this moment, when he heard the middle-aged deputy general chattering on the side, his anger suddenly became more intense. He waved his hand and hit the two waists of the car with a stick, beating him until he screamed. He fell off his horse, his face was bruised and his face was swollen, and several ribs in his waist were broken.
"Cha Shuangshao, if you want to die, you can go and chase him." Shi Mang was furious. He rode his horse to the middle-aged deputy general who was wailing on the ground. He pressed the eight-foot-long iron rod against his chest, coldly He scolded: "Your post is supposed to be on duty tonight, why can't you be seen sitting at the top of the city? As the post commander, you should fulfill your duties, but you left your post without authorization during your duty. How brave you are!"
"Come here, drag him down, beat him with fifty military sticks, suspend his pay for three months, and then demote him one level!"
Shi Mang swung the iron rod and sent the two shafts of the car flying ten feet away. Still unable to reduce his anger, he shouted sternly: "Get out of here!"
The two shafts of the car were suddenly struck by lightning. He lay on the ground for a long time and said a word, and could only let a few soldiers lift and drag him down.
