The southernmost county of Dading Dynasty was Lijun, and the southernmost big city among Lijun was Taiming City.
There is a river flowing through the Taiming area, named Nantuo River.
The Nantuo River starts from the Cangyan Mountains, runs southward through the entire Lijun Basin, passes through Taiming City, then turns southwest, enters the mountains and canyons, and finally merges into the Cangjiang River.
The water volume of the Nantuo River is not large and the flow is not fast. When the water is shallow in the dry season, the people on both sides of the river who are better at swimming will swim across it. It is the most docile river in Li County.
At this time, in a wide area where several canyons meet in the lower reaches of the Nantuo River, a large-scale battle is taking place!
At the core of the battlefield is a human army of thousands of people. With the central formation flag as the center, they formed military formations of a hundred people. The military formations were adjacent to each other and interlocking, and they were operating with great difficulty. .
Waves of huge momentum condensed and dissipated above the military formation, looking like the shadow of a candle in the wind, erratic.
Because on the outside of the military formation, countless wild beasts are rushing towards the outside of the military formation like crazy, biting with their teeth, scratching with their claws, even hitting their heads with their bodies, doing whatever they can, even if the outer circle of the military formation is already full of blood and flesh. Fly, still fearless.
The more lethal ones are the individual monsters among them. Some of them are huge and far larger than wild beasts. They are exuding all kinds of light. A single charge can break a huge hole in the complete military formation. Some of them are even more lethal. However, due to its petite size, it can often cause greater damage on an already chaotic battlefield.
This is not the most terrifying thing. Monsters are powerful, but have no wisdom. Chaos and chaos act purely on instinct and are always full of flaws. What is even more terrifying are the monsters hidden among the beasts. Most of them are good at changing their bodies and hiding. Behind the large beasts, using the momentum of the beasts to charge and break the formation, precise and sharp assassinations can often kill the most critical officers in a military formation, and the formation is in danger.
It only took a short time for the battle to reach its climax from the initial contact. One side clearly had an advantage due to its large numbers, while the other side was in a desperate situation and had no other choice but to fight to the death.
Soon, two flying sword lights lit up in the military formation. The sword light was only more than ten feet long at first, but the moment it soared into the sky, it seemed to arouse the ethereal aura above the military formation, and the invisible energy was immediately obtained. Pulling and blessing the flying sword, the light of the flying sword skyrocketed to three feet, six feet or even longer! !
Just as the sword light grew, dozens of rays of light flew out from a mountain forest in the south. Like swimming fish, they passed by the two increasingly larger flying sword pillars. They rubbed and collided again and again, and each time they touched, To reduce the invisible momentum above the military formation.
For a moment, the two giant swords stopped growing!
As a result, the giant sword no longer delayed, but rushed north with two angry roars, knocking away all the light of the swimming fish, and forcibly cut a bloody path in the dense group of beasts, even
One of the giant elephant-like monsters failed to block the sword light at all, and was broken in half by one blow!
"Go north, break out!" After a roar, the military formation flowed like water, squeezing towards the gap opened by the sword light.
But with this squeeze, the momentum gathered in the sky above the military formation became increasingly thin and bleak. The light of the two flying swords weakened, and the sword light like swimming fish fell straight into the military formation. In just a few ups and downs, It took away a lot of soldiers’ lives!
The human army had no choice but to stop here and gather together to defend. The two flying swords gathered a huge sword light again, but it was much weaker than before. This time, the two sword lights probably knew that they were in a desperate situation. Regardless, he slashed towards the position where Yuyu's sword light appeared. The sword light, which was nearly ten feet long, was knocked back by three demonic auras rising into the sky!
The morale of the human army, which had already suffered more than half of its casualties, suddenly fell to the bottom. In an instant, the number of monsters hiding among the beasts seemed to be several times greater, and they kept appearing in the military formation to cause damage, making the situation worse.
But just when the demon army stepped up its attack and slaughtered the human army one-sidedly in an attempt to end the battle as soon as possible, a thundering military order suddenly came from the three canyons further south, like a god speaking!
"General Order!"
"This battle will leave no one alive, kill without mercy!!"
After the military order was issued, three armies of ten thousand people descended from the sky like a flood, and the soaring momentum made the whole sky and earth change color! !
In the mountain forest where fish were originally scattered, dozens of rays of light suddenly fled in all directions. However, they were chased and intercepted by giant flying swords flying out of the tens of thousands of troops, and finally cut down in the mortal world! !
The army is like a tide, and the resistance of all wild beasts and monsters is in vain. Except for a few wild beasts and little monsters who escaped into the mountains and forests, no one has escaped. Just like the military order, no one shall be left alive...
On a tall mountain not far from the battlefield, a group of elite soldiers with black armor and black cloaks formed a formation to guard a few of them. The leader was an ordinary-looking middle-aged man without armor. He had a brocade hat and a mink fur coat, and his hands He closed his sleeves and looked at the devastating battle in the distance. He was as calm as a wealthy landowner checking the harvest in his field. He looked out of place in the steel army formation. But this person was recognized by the human race as one of the top ten famous people in the mainland. One of the generals is Lijun War God, Lu Dongfeng.
"Father, after this great victory, we are so sure that there will be no war this winter!" Standing next to Lu Dongfeng was a young man wearing bright silver armor who looked out of place among the black armored army. He has an ordinary appearance and is hard to recognize in a crowd. He is neither tall nor fat, nor short nor thin. At this moment, he is looking at the battlefield in the distance and is very excited. He wants to go down and fight immediately. "The little Nanyi thief thought My Tai Ming army is missing Uncle Chen, so I can humiliate them by sending another army north this time, but I don’t know that as long as my father is still here, there will be no time for them to run wild!”
"Tieshan, how old are you this year?" Lu Dongfeng
Still looking at the battlefield, he asked calmly.
The young man named Tieshan was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that the emotionless father in front of him was angry, so he replied cautiously, "Father, Tieshan is twenty-one this year..." "
"Do you know how old the new governor is this year?" Lu Dongfeng stretched out two fingers before he could speak. "He is two years younger than you." He put his hands back into his sleeves again. "These days, The story about the new governor has spread to Taiming, and you should have heard about it, what do you think?" Lu Dongfeng asked.
The young man was hesitant and didn't know how to answer. He was naturally respectful and afraid of the man in front of him, "He...the prefect is young and promising, and has great talents..." ..."
"How does it compare to Mr. Yun, the second master who has been friends with you since childhood?" Lu Dongfeng asked again.
The young man was shocked and did not dare to say another word this time.
Lu Dongfeng slowly turned his head to look at the young man who lowered his head and said nothing. His tone was soft and slow, "Tian En is gone. To be honest, my father is not mentally prepared. But now that this is the case, the living must look forward," he said His tone was calm and his eyes were even calmer, "If your good friend Mr. Yun Er becomes the new eunuch, our Lu family will still have some troubles, but in the end we will have more room for maneuver. But now, it is this eldest son who After ascending the throne, and before he even arrived in Licheng, he had laid out such a big picture, from north to south, from temples to the people, all linked together, a nineteen-year-old young man, it is really amazing... "
The young man looked up at Lu Dongfeng with wide eyes, only to see that his father, who had never been kind to him, smiled gently and touched his face with a finger, "What's so surprising about this? Do you think Is this the current battle that my father wants to fight?" He shook his head and said, "If it were me, I would postpone this battle until next spring, but... the new governor has an order, and I must To fight this battle, we must not only fight it, but also fight it fiercely, and also fight it neatly. Otherwise, when our Lord Governor comes to Taiming with his first victory in the north, it will be the day when my father will be disbanded and return to the fields to retire... ..."
"Father is not afraid to go back and retire. After fighting in southern Xinjiang for so many years, it doesn't matter if he takes a break. What he is afraid of is that you and the Lu family will be implicated. So you should understand what my father said today, right? From now on, you have to keep a low profile. Be careful. No matter what you do or say, think more." He tapped the young man's heart with his finger seriously, "Don't have any extra thoughts, otherwise it won't be an issue, father. I will make it clear to you today. Even if I, Lu Dongfeng, go crazy and really want to help that second young master ascend the throne, there is absolutely no chance of winning. You can underestimate Luo Chuan or even the people of the world, but never You underestimated Tian En, he is a good person, but if you really want to destroy what he wants to protect, he... will be the most terrifying enemy in the world..."
