Chilong City, also known as Chilong Pass.
This is a large city covering an area of more than a thousand miles, and it is also the last pass north of the capital.
Red Dragon City is surrounded by mountains on the east and west sides, which creates two more natural barriers. The walls on the north and south sides are made of hard stones, and molten iron is poured on them, making them very strong.
If you advance, you can attack in the north; if you retreat, you can defend the capital.
This is also the reason why Red Dragon City can hold on for so many days.
At this time, the northern city of Red Dragon City was closed, flags were flying, and all kinds of defensive equipment were piled on the city wall. There was a soldier guarding every one meter, and there were teams of elite soldiers patrolling back and forth in the city, clearing out all suspicious targets, and defending. Extremely strict.
The Yuan army was stationed ten miles away from Chilong City and could attack at any time.
Therefore, the atmosphere in the entire Red Dragon City is extremely tense, and it is always in a state of war readiness, a solemn scene!
…
The center of Red Dragon City.
In the city lord's mansion.
Soldiers patrolled back and forth one after another, and the defense was also very tight.
And in various locations in the City Lord's Mansion, there are faintly strong auras that belong to warriors.
Since the fall of Jiayu Pass and the Dayuan army's march south, the entire Ming Dynasty has been shaken.
This time, not only did many experts from the East and West Second Factory and Jinyiwei go north with the reinforcements to resist the Yuan army, but even the underworld forces under the West Factory such as Tianzong and Tianzun came immediately.
In addition, many people with lofty ideals from the Ming Dynasty also spontaneously came to Chilong City to help Sun Chuanting defend the city.
Therefore, there are many masters in Red Dragon City at this time.
In the main hall of the City Lord's Mansion, dozens of figures sat around, talking solemnly.
On the main seat, a burly man about forty years old, with a dignified appearance and wearing black armor is none other than the general of Red Dragon City, Sun Chuanting.
On both sides of the lower head, sat several Ming army generals.
In addition, the six major stalls of the West Factory such as Ma Jinliang, Ding Xiu, Cao Shaoqin, Dong Tianbao, Lin Pingzhi, and Erdo, as well as several masters of the West Factory such as Ye Gucheng, Yan Shisan, A Fei, Zhan Yu, and Ding Baiying , Lu Wenzhao, Shen Lian and other Jin Yiwei Qianhu were among them.
Even Yuan Chengzhi and Wen Qingqing, the two direct disciples of Yuhuatian, also came. At this time, they had a trace of evil aura on their bodies. They had obviously seen blood and had grown up a lot.
Those martial arts figures from the Ming Dynasty who spontaneously came to Red Dragon City for reinforcements, led by Bai Tianyu, the master of the Divine Sword Sect, sat quietly at the back.
The two top combat forces of the Ming Dynasty who resisted the Yuan army's heavenly beings, Xu Hongru, the ancestor of the White Lotus Sect, and the Five Elements Ancestor, the founder of the Five Elements Demon Palace, were sitting next to Sun Chuanting, with their eyes closed and dozing, their breaths deep and breathtaking. Don't dare to underestimate it.
As the Commander-in-Chief of the Five Armies of the Ming Dynasty, Sun Chuanting naturally practiced martial arts. Although his level was not high, only at the innate level, as the commander-in-chief, he had the highest command authority during wartime, so his status could not be judged by his martial arts skills. .
He sat on the city leader's seat, looking at the latest information from the Jin Yiwei in his hand, with a serious look on his face.
After a moment, he raised his head to look at everyone in the mansion and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, according to the intelligence, the other branches of the Yuan Army have received orders from Emperor Yuan Sihanfei and are heading towards our Red Dragon City at the moment. At the marching speed of Dayuan's cavalry, the Yuan Army's 500,000-strong army will gather outside Chilong City in no more than ten days."
Hearing this, everyone's expressions changed.
Seven days ago, the Yuan army attacked Chilong City, and they had already fought against the Yuan army once.
They have all seen the strength of the Yuan Army's cavalry.
It has to be said that the cavalry of the Yuan army was indeed very strong. Among the six great dynasties of China, only the cavalry of the Han Dynasty in the east could rival them.
In terms of military strength alone, the Ming army was not even a bit worse than the Yuan army.
After all, the Great Yuan Iron Cavalry was trained by the Yuan army at an unknown cost, and they were the elite warriors that the Great Yuan Dynasty relied on most.
When Dayuan's cavalry cooperated with each other, the power they exerted was even difficult for ordinary Xiantian realm warriors to withstand.
Although warriors above the Xiantian realm can cause considerable damage to it, how many warriors of this level can there be?
The Yuan army numbered hundreds of thousands.
Moreover, there were many armies composed of warriors from the Yuan Dynasty among the Yuan army, and their strength was not much weaker than their warriors from the Ming Dynasty.
"General, with our current strength, we may not be able to defend Red Dragon City!"
After a brief silence, a deputy general said solemnly.
“If you can’t hold it, you have to hold it!”
Another lieutenant general said coldly: "Now that we, the Ming Dynasty, have conquered the Qing Dynasty and controlled the power of the two countries, can't we still stop a mere Yuan Dynasty?"
"good!"
"Didn't the imperial court send a message saying that they have begun to mobilize troops from the south for reinforcements? And the old general Sun Chengzong has also personally led an army of 200,000 people from Qingzhou!"
"As long as we can hold on for a while and wait for our reinforcements to arrive, we may not be able to defeat this group of alien wolves and drive them out!"
"That's right! We will defend Red Dragon City to the death! We will never retreat until we die!"
"Yes! I will never retreat until I die!"
…
In a bloody chaos.
Sun Chuanting nodded slightly and said: "Retreat, of course you cannot retreat!"
"You must have heard how miserable the various places in the north are now being trampled by the Yuan army's cavalry."
"If we retreat now, it will be the millions of people in Red Dragon City who will suffer."
"Moreover, Red Dragon City is the last pass in the northern frontier of our Ming Dynasty. If we retreat, our Ming Dynasty will be doomed!"
Hearing this, everyone gnashed their teeth and looked filled with righteous indignation.
In recent days, news of the Yuan army massacring people in the north came almost every day.
This group of alien wolves are completely inhumane. They kill wherever they go, causing countless people to suffer disaster.
They wanted to leave the city immediately and kill all these alien dogs to avenge the dead souls.
But they know that the strength gap between the two sides is too big.
Being impulsive will not solve the problem at all, but will cause more people to die and make Ming Dynasty fall faster!
"But no matter what, there has to be a solution. It's not a problem to keep waiting like this."
At this time, Bai Tianyu suddenly spoke.
He is dressed in white and has a tall body. Although he is over fifty years old, he is full of vitality. He has a long sword on his right hand, which is majestic.
"What Master Bai said is true."
Sun Chuanting nodded and said: "It is naturally not an option to just sit there and wait for death. After all, every time we delay, more people will die at the hands of this group of alien executioners."
"So I have decided that when the reinforcements from the imperial court arrive, we will take the initiative to leave the pass and fight to the death with the Yuan army. We will fight to the death to drive these wolves out of the pass and protect our Ming territory from foreign invaders!"
By the end of the sentence, Sun Chuanting was gnashing his teeth and looking evil.
But at this time, Bai Tianyu shook his head and poured cold water on him: "This time the Yuan Dynasty is coming fiercely, with half a million elite soldiers coming. It is Si Hanfei, the veteran Yuan Dynasty general who has abdicated for many years, who personally leads the troops. It is obvious that he has already made preparations to destroy the Ming Dynasty."
"Even if the imperial court sends another large army for reinforcements, I'm afraid it will be difficult to withstand the Yuan army's offensive..."
Hearing this, Sun Chuanting frowned and said: "Although the overall strength of our Ming army is not as good as the Yuan army's cavalry, but our Ming Dynasty now controls the territory of the two countries and gathers the strength of the two countries, can't we still stop a mere 500,000 Yuan army? Bai Why should the leader have the ambition of others to destroy his own prestige?"
"It's not about building up other people's ambitions and destroying your own prestige."
Bai Tianyu shook his head and said: "I don't mean to belittle the imperial court, but Marshal Sun doesn't quite understand the strength gap between the two sides."
"Even if the imperial reinforcements arrive and can block the Yuan army's cavalry, the Mongolian warriors in the Yuan army are all very powerful. Some of them have mastered the magic of the northern grasslands and can control wild beasts such as jackals, tigers and leopards for their own use."
"Last time when the Yuan army attacked the city, these people didn't show much ability in this area. But once they leave the city or fight on the plains, their strength will be greatly enhanced. Ordinary soldiers are no match at all. Only warriors like me, Only then can we resist.”
"But with the number of warriors we have at the moment, we simply cannot stop so many Mongolian warriors!"
"If General Sun doesn't believe this, you can ask the adults in Xichang and Lord Ye. They must know it very well."
When Sun Chuanting heard this, he immediately looked at Ma Jinliang, Ye Gucheng and others.
After a slight silence, Ma Jinliang nodded and said: "What Master Bai said is true. Last time the Yuan army attacked the city, not all their Mongolian warriors went out to fight. There were many more powerful masters in the army."
"If we go into full-scale combat, it will be difficult for us to resist."
This time the Yuan army went south, there were more than a thousand masters in the main force led by Si Hanfei alone. Among them, there were more than 30 grand masters alone, and the rest were almost all grand masters. At the innate level, there are also many beings who are good at various kinds of magic.
The last time the Yuan army attacked the city, they only dispatched less than half of it, but they were already exhausted and suffered heavy casualties.
This is because they are defending the city and have a geographical advantage.
If they were to fight out of the city and all the masters of the Yuan army were dispatched, they would definitely not be able to stop them.
What's more, the remaining Yuan armies were also rushing towards Red Dragon City at this time.
Among the remaining Yuan armies, there must be many masters.
This battle is really difficult!
Bai Tianyu nodded and continued: "The most important thing is that the strength of the Yuan Army coach Si Hanfei is unfathomable!"
"Last time I, Taoist Xu and the Five Elements Patriarch fought against him, and Marshal Sun also saw it."
"This person is at least a powerful celestial being at the fifth level of heaven or above. Even if the three of us join forces, we can barely hold him back, but as time goes by, we will definitely be defeated!"
After hearing Bai Tianyu's analysis of the differences in various aspects, everyone's hearts sank, and the atmosphere became more solemn.
Sun Chuanting's face also darkened, his brows furrowed, and he gritted his teeth and said: "So, we can only passively defend the city and cannot counterattack the Yuan Dynasty. We can only let the Yuan army burn, kill and loot in our territory of the Ming Dynasty. ?!”
"Maybe we won't even be able to defend the city!"
Bai Tianyu broke Sun Chuanting's fantasy without hesitation and said: "We are waiting, and Si Hanfei is waiting too. He has already issued orders to several other Yuan armies. He should be ready to wait for the 500,000-strong army to gather together." , then work hard to defeat Red Dragon City, then continue south, destroy the capital, and destroy the Ming Dynasty in one fell swoop!"
"Moreover, in order to overthrow the Ming Dynasty, the Yuan Dynasty paid a huge price and ordered all the subordinate states in the north to send troops at the same time, which restrained the other three dynasties in the Middle Kingdom. It wanted to cut off the Ming Dynasty from seeking help from the other three dynasties. Think about it, leaving Ming Dynasty alone and helpless."
"As for the vassal countries of Dayuan, their strength is limited and they cannot hold off for too long. Si Hanfei will definitely fight quickly and won't take too long."
"So, even if we keep guarding the city, the Yuan army will take the initiative to attack the city sooner or later!"
Everyone's hearts were even heavier and their expressions were ugly.
"Damn alien race, if only the master were here!"
Yuan Chengzhi suddenly spoke and said bitterly: "If Master hadn't gone to the East China Sea, how would the Yuan Dynasty dare to attack our Ming Dynasty? These jackals are so cunning!"
He does not mean that.
Hearing this, Bai Tianyu's face suddenly changed slightly, as if he had thought of something, and said in a deep voice:
"The martial arts of Governor Yu are unparalleled, and almost no one in the entire Great Yuan can match him. If Governor Yu is here, he can indeed stop Na Sihan Fei, and with the prestige of Governor Yu, he wants to integrate the world of Ming Dynasty and deal with it together. It shouldn’t be difficult for the Yuan Dynasty.”
"The Yuan Dynasty should also know this."
"But Lord Yu only left the Ming Dynasty temporarily, not that he will not come back. The Yuan Dynasty took the opportunity to attack the Ming Dynasty. If Lord Yu comes back, they will lose all their previous efforts and suffer heavy losses like before."
"But why do they still dare to come?"
As soon as these words came out, many people's expressions changed slightly.
"What do you mean? You mean, the governor can't come back?!" Ma Jinliang suddenly stood up and stared at Bai Tianyu with cold eyes.
Ding Xiu and others also looked unkind.
How dare you curse the governor? Do you really think that Bai Tianyu is a celestial being? That's great, right?
Are there not many heavenly beings who have died in the hands of the governor?
Bai Tianyu said in a deep voice: "I am just discussing the matter, and I have no intention of causing any harm to Lord Curse Rain!"
"The Yuan Dynasty knew that the Ming Dynasty had Lord Yu sitting in charge, but they still sent out troops to attack the Ming Dynasty with such fanfare. This shows that they had long known about Lord Yu going to the East China Sea to slay the dragon, and they were sure that Lord Yu would not come back."
"Otherwise, even if they succeed in attacking the Ming Dynasty, they will suffer crazy revenge from Lord Rain. Why bother?"
"No matter what, nothing will happen to the Governor!" Ma Jinliang said coldly.
"Yes, my master's martial arts skills are superb, nothing will happen to him!" Yuan Chengzhi also snorted coldly.
Bai Tianyu shook his head helplessly and said: "That's all I've said. In short, there is probably a situation where Lord Yu cannot come back, and maybe the dragon slaying was the Yuan Dynasty's plan to target Lord Yu. conspiracy."
Hearing this, the faces of Ye Gucheng and others who had never spoken could not help but change.
They didn't really believe it at first.
But now hearing Bai Tianyu's explanation, I suddenly felt a little uneasy.
Governor, is it really impossible to come back?
"Who said I can't come back?"
At this moment, an indifferent voice suddenly sounded from the door.
Everyone was startled and quickly turned around to look.
Immediately, I saw a figure wearing a silver and white python robe embroidered with gold, with a graceful demeanor, an aloof figure, and a handsome face, but with a strong look of domineering and indifference, slowly walked in.
"Overlord?!"
"Master Yu?!"
"For your humble job, please see the Governor!"
Seeing the person coming, Ma Jinliang and others were stunned for a moment, and immediately became overjoyed. They stood up quickly and saluted respectfully towards the young man.
Yuhuatian looked indifferent, looked at Bai Tianyu, and said calmly: "Do you think I can't come back?"
The strength gap between the Ming army and the Yuan army in various aspects will be explained here. First of all, the Yuan Dynasty was originally the strongest among the six dynasties. It unified the entire northern desert and grasslands. Unlike the countries in the Middle Kingdom, the Yuan Dynasty He is the undisputed overlord in the north, controlling many foreign tribes and countries.
Moreover, Dayuan has been preparing for this battle for a long time. This time it is equivalent to a battle with all the strength of the country. He vowed to destroy the Ming Dynasty, even his underwear was exposed. However, the Ming Dynasty currently only has the army, martial arts and rivers and lakes, and they are still coming. on the way.
