Chapter 1275: A national crisis (1)
The southern border.
The original yang field.
“Defend! Don’t let the barbarians climb up the city walls!”
“Swish-”
Ah-
The former yang region was a very ordinary region in the southern border, once unknown.
At this moment, he was caught in a sea of flames!
On the city wall, a group of well-trained soldiers of the Liang people were struggling to resist the attack of the Barbarian Army from below the city wall.
There were only about 100000 soldiers in the city, which was the strength of a Military Region.
However, there were as many as 200000 barbarian soldiers under the city wall.
Moreover, they were all very strong and possessed vicious birds and a large number of flying birds, causing heavy damage to the soldiers in the city.
One of the thousand cricket cavalry in charge of commanding the Army on the city wall was discovered by a barbarian soldier on a bird and shot through the heart with an arrow!
The soldiers on the city wall were thrown into chaos.
Fortunately, a hundred-winged cavalry took the lead and continued to command.
However, that was only to delay the enemy’s attack on the city.
In the center of the city, there was a temporary command tent.
Wu Xiong paced back and forth inside, his brows deeply furrowed and his face was filled with a heavy expression.
“Report! The Maple region has fallen, and the general guarding the place along with 100000 soldiers have all died for the country!” A Messenger barged in and said with grief and indignation.
Wu Xiong’s footsteps suddenly stopped, and his expression became even more serious.
He slowly closed his eyes, looking particularly tired and powerless.
Ten days ago, after nu Tianyi occupied the southern heaven city, he immediately dispatched four hundred thousand troops and three million troops from the border to launch a destructive attack on the southern border.
How could the regions of the southern border resist Lou Nan’s ferocious Army?
On the first day, jiuli city, Eagle region, and other border towns were all occupied by Lou Nan’s Army.
The three regions near the southern heaven city were also quickly occupied.
The three great armies were in a dangerous situation of being attacked from both sides!
At this critical moment, Prince Liang ordered them to retreat from the southern border.
The three legions made a prompt decision and chose to retreat. In order to buy time for the main force to break out of the siege, the three legions each took two military regions ‘forces and stayed in the six important areas of the southern border to delay the Barbarian Army.
The 5th Military Region of the southern border, where Wu Xiong was, was one of the six major military regions that covered the rear.
Originally, Wu Xiong had already been dismissed and became a commoner.
However, the general of the 5th Mr, who was ordered to cover the retreat, actually abandoned all the soldiers in the city and fled in fear.
Helplessly, he, who was once the general of the 10th Military Region, was invited by many of the thousand cricket cavalry to take charge of the situation.
However, even if he stepped in, he was unable to change the situation.
The other five military regions that were on the same path as the 5th Military Region were all destroyed by the Barbarian Army.
The Maple region was a region south of the former yang region.
It was also one of the only two military regions left out of the six military regions.
But just now, it had also been breached, and all the soldiers in the city had died for the country.
Only the 5th Mr was left defending the former yang field.
An immense aura of despair enveloped Wu Xiong, causing him to be unable to breathe.
Listening to the frantic footsteps outside, his lips curled into a self-deprecating smile. “Why do you want to show off?”
He could have returned to Liangzhou city with his wife and daughter with the migrating civilians, but why did he choose to stay and die with a group of soldiers who were going to cover the rear?
He opened his eyes and came to the table. On it was a map of the cool realm that spanned tens of thousands of Li.
In his eyes, there was a touch of gentle determination. “Because, without a country, how can there be a home?”
As a soldier, if he didn’t protect the country in times of danger, who would protect his wife and children?
“How many people do we still have in our Army?” Wu Xiong knew that the city had fallen when he heard the Barbarian’s clamor from the city wall.
“Less than 20000!” The messenger said in pain.
The 80,000 strong Army had already died on the city walls.
“Twenty thousand?” Wu Xiong’s heart trembled. The speed at which his soldiers were dying was faster than he had imagined.
In their estimation, the one hundred thousand troops could delay the enemy for two days and two nights.
But in reality, it was difficult to do so even after half a day.
“My Lord! Not good, the North City has fallen. The enemy has climbed up the city and opened the North City gate. A large number of enemy soldiers are pouring in.” An injured Bai xiaoji ran in, panting heavily.
Wu Xiong clenched his right fist as he recalled the southern heaven city.
It was said that the southern heaven city was lost in this way.
Bai zhantian had also sacrificed himself heroically!
“Commander Bai, you won’t be alone on the road to the yellow Springs.” Wu Xiong kicked the table and put on his helmet. His eyes were sharp as he shouted, “”Go! The rest of you, come with me and fight to the death with the enemies who have entered the city!”
Since he was going to die anyway, he might as well die together with the Barbarian Army.
He didn’t have to pay for killing one, but killing two was a huge profit!
Boom-
Outside the tent, the 500 patrolling soldiers held onto their weapons and followed.
From a distance, they could see the Barbarian Army surging in like a gray tide.
The moment they entered the city, they immediately burned, killed, and robbed.
Some of the people who couldn’t leave the former yang field in time were mercilessly slaughtered by them.
Seeing this, Wu Xiong unsheathed his sword and led the charge.”Kill!”
The 500 soldiers behind him were the only ones who could fight.
How could they not be afraid when they saw the Barbarian’s physique, which was far stronger than their own, and how cruel he was?
However, they had nowhere to retreat to.
“Kill!”
Five hundred soldiers charged forward with determination.
The Barbarian Army, who were burning, killing, and snatching, looked at the five hundred soldiers with disdain.
“Go, break their heads.” A commander of the Barbarian Army who was slightly taller than the others sneered.
Immediately, the first one thousand barbarian soldiers who came in first, each holding a Mace, stone hammer, and other weapons, strode over with strange smiles.
The two sides made contact!
Even though one of the two had the belief that they would die, and their actions were open and unrestrained, it was a move that killed 1000 enemies at the cost of 800 of their own.
However, the quality and number of soldiers on both sides were vastly different.
It was a one-sided massacre from the start!
The price for the fall of one barbarian soldier was ten times the casualties of the Liang soldiers.
Some had their heads smashed by a hammer, some had their arms twisted off, and some had their hearts dug out by a claw.
The scene was too tragic to look at!
“Kill!” Wu Xiong roared with grief and indignation.
The veins on his forehead popped out, and his eyes were like copper bells, bursting with absolute killing intent.
Puchi–
With a swing of his sword, he directly cut off the head of a barbarian.
Another slash of the sword cut off another barbarian’s arm.
Seeing this, the two surrounding soldiers immediately cooperated and killed seven or eight barbarian soldiers in a row, slightly reversing the situation.
Unfortunately, the good times did not last long.
The Barbarian commander noticed Wu Xiong. A vicious look flashed across his face. He jumped a few dozen feet on the spot and directly jumped out of the battle circle.
He jumped up high and smashed towards Wu Xiong.
When Wu Xiong saw this, he immediately slashed out with his sword.
However, this commander had an extraordinary physique. With a stomp of his giant foot, not only did he send the longsword flying, he even forcefully kicked Wu Xiong’s chest.
In that instant, Wu Xiong felt an intense pain in his chest, as if a meteorite had hit his chest.
The ribs in his chest were completely shattered, and his internal organs were all seriously injured.
As for himself, he was forced to step back, crushing a group of his own people!
Bang-
The commander landed on the ground and said angrily, “”Skin him alive!”
A group of barbarian soldiers immediately took advantage of the situation and attacked the two people who were completely defeated.
“Take the general and leave first, we’ll follow behind!” A group of two-man soldiers roared as they charged forward. They used their own bodies to block the enemy, giving their companions a chance to take Wu Xiong away.
Pfft—
Blood splattered everywhere. Wu Xiong was being supported by his trusted subordinates as they flew backward. Behind them were their fallen comrades.
Wu Xiong turned his head to look at this scene. His eyes were about to burst, and the hatred in his chest was like water bursting out of a dam, almost bursting out of his chest.
However, he, who was seriously injured, was powerless.
They could only watch as their comrades fell one after another like moths to a flame.
“Hmph, so you’re still a general? That’s even better, I’ll use your head as the wine glass for tonight’s celebration!” The commander grinned and leaped again.
Wu Xiong’s face was filled with despair as he pushed away the soldiers on both sides, “”Don’t mind me! Dodge!”
Even if he had to die, he didn’t want to implicate another companion!
However, just as he was filled with the will to die, an accident happened.
A golden rope appeared without warning and wrapped around the commander in the air.
A slightly familiar laugh came unexpectedly.”Haha, stinky girl, master dog’s golden immortal binding rope is faster!”
Bang-
Before Wu Xiong could react, he saw a flash of silver light in the sky. Seven silver Wolf Tooth club Phantoms descended from the sky and stacked on each other, bombarding the commander.
In the end, the commander didn’t even have the chance to scream before he was turned into a pile of meat on the spot.
“Keke! What’s the use of being fast? Without explosive power, can you feel good?” A clear and melodious female voice that could make one’s face turn red was heard.
Wu Xiong raised his head in shock, only to see a man and a dog suspended in the sky.
“You guys … Lord Xia’s pet and maidservant?” Wu Xiong was shocked.
If they were here, then Lord Xia …
“Yes, Xia lang has already come.” The person was naturally Lian Xing. She smiled mischievously, bent down, and grabbed Wu Xiong, bringing him to the city wall.
The city wall was in a precarious situation, and the Barbarian soldiers were crawling all over the wall.
If they were given some more time, they would be able to climb up the city wall.
“Where is Lord Xia?” Wu Xiong’s despairing heart was suddenly filled with boundless hope.
Wherever Xia qingchen was, there would be miracles.
Grudgy flew over and shrugged its shoulders.
In its dog eyes, there was a rising cloud of dust at the end of the horizon.
Wu Xiong also noticed and could not help but feel strange.”What’s that?”
In the mountains, countless trees fell, and clouds of dust rose.
The ground trembled uncontrollably as if there was a giant creature moving on the ground.
Dong Dong Dong-
The slight vibration gradually became clear. The gravel on the ground was like fleas, constantly jumping on the spot.
In fact, even the corpse was trembling.
The entire city trembled, and many barbarian soldiers on the city wall were shaken off.
Many of the Barbarian soldiers stopped their attacks and looked behind them uneasily.
What made them even more uneasy was that the demonic beasts under them were all pawing their hooves anxiously, appearing to be afraid and flustered.
There were even some who went out of control and ran around, knocking over people on the ground.
The Barbarian soldiers stopped and turned around. Their expressions were solemn.
What was that?
