Chapter 165: The Nine Heavens Soldiers Descend to the Earth, the Final Battle Outside Hulao Pass

Hulao Pass.

Chen Sanshi sat cross-legged.

Absorbing the incense in the black bead.

Above his right hand, a small sword kept condensing and dissipating, but each time it appeared it looked more solid than the last, and the power it exuded was also more powerful.

so cycle.

Until one day, the small sword took shape and became completely stable. It emitted a faint humming sound like a dragon's roar, became the size of a palm, and had a sharp edge. It looked like a real sword blade flying in the air.

Sword Qi Technique, breakthrough!

[Magic: Sword Qi Technique (Minor Success)]

【Progress: 0/2000】

[Effect: ..., Hundred-foot Flying Sword]

[Bai Zhang Flying Sword: Killing people invisibly from a distance of a hundred feet]

The power and distance have been greatly improved.

Chen Sanshi sensed it carefully.

Now, with one spell, it would be absolutely no problem to kill someone in the minor stage of Xuan Xiang realm.

He watched Deng Feng fight with others with his own eyes, and basically understood the combat effectiveness and defensive capabilities of a warrior in the Xuanxiang realm.

"grown ups!"

Outside.

From a great distance, Zhao Kang reported cautiously: "Our food and grass in Hulao Pass ran out yesterday, but we just received a notice that a batch of emergency food and grass will be escorted here in two hours."

Marshal Meng is quite reliable.

Chen Sanshi knew that transporting food and fodder in such a short time would be a very troublesome task.

"Then let's cook, so that the brothers can have enough food and drink before the decisive battle."

……

Nanxu Camp.

Deng Feng and his four companions passed through layer after layer of military formations and experienced what a true sea of ​​people meant. There were more than 100,000 people, and the formation alone would stretch for twenty miles.

It took them more than ten miles to reach the central army.

Sha Wenlong was terrified: "What if the peace talks fail?"

"What should I do?"

Wang Zhi glanced at him and said, "It's nothing more than being surrounded. Whoever is capable will survive, and whoever is incapable will die."

"..."

Sha Wenlong is a beginner in the Xuanxiang realm and is undoubtedly the weakest.

The remaining three people from Nanxu.

Needless to say, Fan Shuzhen and You Jingzhi have also achieved some success in Xuan Xiang. Only Ran Jingxuan, who focuses on strategy, has just entered the realm of Xuan Xiang.

Overall.

If anything goes wrong they're doomed.

But it shouldn’t be…

After all, even Fang Qingyun is there, so it is impossible to risk his life.

I just hope the peace talks go smoothly.

……

Chinese army camp.

"Master Ba, they are almost here. Go check them out first and make sure they are here in person to prevent them from being replaced."

The more Ran Jingxuan thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong: "Pay special attention to the unarmed general. I am beginning to suspect that Deng Feng is pretending to be him. They don't have two Xuan Xiang Dachengs."

"it is good!"

Fan Shuzhen went out to greet him personally.

The two sides met outside the tent.

"Fourteenth brother!"

"Quick, help Fourteenth Brother go down to rest!"

Fan Shuzhen rescued Fan Jiaxiao, who was covered in black iron chains, and then began to scan the rest of the people.

"General Fang, General Deng, General Sha!"

He confirmed at a glance that these three were him, and then his eyes fell on the last person: "This general..."

"Fan Lao Ba!"

Wang Zhi took off his helmet and grinned, "Don't you recognize your grandfather?"

"you……"

Fan Shuzhen was stunned for a moment. After a few breaths, he suddenly compared this face with a name in his memory: "Tang Ruoshan! You are not dead? The battle at Yinsong Cliff was you?!"

not far away.

Ran Jingxuan in the tent held the hilt of his sword, waiting to order his men to take action if there was any problem with the person who came, but he heard a very familiar name instead.

The Xuanwu Camp back then.

It was at the hands of his father that their entire army was annihilated!
"Wow!"

Ran Jingxuan opened the tent.

He quickly confirmed that it was indeed this person: "Tang Ruoshan, are you really still alive?!"

No wonder.

At that time, the soldiers of Nanxu said that the Xuanwu Camp was completely wiped out.

But in fact, no one was found alive or dead.

"Who?"

Sha Wenlong was even more stunned.

Is this the general of Xuanwu Camp back then?
That was the great achievement of Xuan Xiang fifteen years ago!

At that time, how could there be as many martial saints in the world as there are today? When the Xuan Xiang realm is fully achieved, it is already considered the world's top combat power.

This person...

Have you become a general?

Why did he arrange for a general to follow him for such an important matter?

"How could your grandfather die so easily?"

Wang Zhi said, "It's Fan Lao Ba. Back then, your fourth uncle's head was taken away by Mr. Tang and used as a urinal for several years. It's still useful."

"you you!"

Fan Shuzhen asked, "Tang Ruoshan, where have you been hiding all these years?"

"Does this require you to meddle in other people's business?"

Wang Zhi said confidently.

After their identities were confirmed, Fan Shuzhen, You Jingzhi and even Ran Jingxuan exchanged glances.

Apparently, the negotiations are real.

All the combat power in Hulao Pass has been gathered here.

"Where's Chen Sanshi?"

Fan Shuzhen asked, "He is the head coach, why doesn't he come?"

"Eighth Prince."

Fang Qingyun slowly said, "You have to leave someone in charge of Hulao Pass for us?"

"General Fang is right. Don't just stand here."

Ran Jingxuan adjusted the atmosphere and said, "There is no need to talk about the past grudges. Ran has prepared wine, meat and food. Please come in quickly. We will discuss the truce slowly."

"You still want weapons?!"

Sha Wenlong looked at the soldiers around him and said, "Why, you want to kill us directly?!"

"Where is it."

Ran Jingxuan gave the order: "Everyone, get out of the way. Please let the generals come in with their weapons."

This is the central camp of the 100,000-strong army!

So what if you are holding weapons?

If they don't even take weapons, it means there is something fishy going on.

"military adviser."

Fan Shuzhen arranged for the Marquis to accompany the guests, while he stayed outside to discuss alone: ​​"Li Gong's son has made a fuss. He seems to know about our peace talks, and it seems that he has already informed Qing State. Li Gong will definitely lose his temper. How should we deal with it?"

"Isn't it a good thing to let him know?"

Ran Jingxuan said shrewdly, "We can take this opportunity to ask Qingguo to make an offer and ask them if they are willing to give us Yaozhou and Leizhou. We can then decide who to cooperate with based on the responses from both sides."

"color!"

Fan Shuzhen praised repeatedly: "This is called waiting for the right price. Why didn't I think of it? In this way, no matter what the result is, we will make a fortune.

"As for Li Gong's son..."

Ran Jingxuan said coldly: "If the negotiation with Sheng Ren is successful, we will kill him directly and take his head as a gift. Vice versa, it is nothing more than cutting off Fang Qingyun's head. No matter what the result is, the initiative is in our hands."

Fan Shuzhen felt extremely relieved.

"This king has an army of 100,000!"

"It seems that with these 100,000 troops in my hands, no matter who comes, they will have to bow their heads and talk to me!"

really.

Strength is the greatest asset.

……

Yongle Mansion.

"Peace talks?!"

"It was the news sent back by the prince. He saw Fang Qingyun and others enter the central army tent with his own eyes."

"These are friendly forces?!"

Tang Wang Li Gong could no longer bear it: "I have been waiting for them here with great pains, and they are secretly negotiating with the Sheng people? How can they be so shameless? Wait..."

"Report——"

"Fan Shuzhen's secret letter has been delivered!"

Before Li Gong could get angry, new news arrived.

After reading it, he was so angry that he couldn't even get angry anymore.

"Your Majesty..."

Liu Huanrong asked, "What did the Qing people say?"

"Taking advantage of the situation!"

Li Gong sneered repeatedly: "Old Eight Fan actually started an auction. He said that Shengren is willing to give up Lanzhou and Mozhou, and asked if we are willing to give up the land of the two states as well."

"Too deceiving!"

Liu Huanrong also felt disgusted: "Your Majesty, what should we do? If we don't agree, it will be equivalent to the situation being reversed, and the reinforcements from Chengsheng of Nanxu will come. But if we agree, we will suffer too much in this battle, too aggrieved, and we don't have much time left. They have already started negotiations in the Nanxu Central Army Camp.

"and many more!"

Li Gong thought of something and interrupted, "Do you know who entered the Nanxu camp to negotiate?"

"The prince wrote it very clearly in the secret letter."

Liu Huanrong said: "Sha Wenlong, Deng Feng, Fang Qingyun, and Tang Ruoshan who has been missing for many years."

"That is to say, everyone in Hulao Pass has gone there!"

Li Gong suddenly came up with a bold strategy. He said decisively: "Quickly, write a letter to Her Majesty, begging her to agree to all of Nanxu's demands. I have only one condition, and that is the heads of these negotiating generals! As long as these people die, Hulao Pass will fall without a fight. The speed at which Nanxu's 100,000 troops enter Laizhou will be much faster than a direct attack, and it is possible to directly annihilate Meng Quji's troops.

"When the time comes, we can contact the barbarians on the grassland to start fighting in the north, and Xiqi will also make a comeback. This battle may become a war to destroy Shengguo!"

"Your Majesty."

Liu Huanrong felt a little distressed: "Really?"

"Of course it's true!"

Li Gong's heart was filled with anxiety.

In that case, let’s go for the big one!
He gritted his teeth and said, "Nan Xu is short-sighted and short-sighted. We can't learn from them! The lives of Fang Qingyun and Chen Sanshi are worth exchanging for a state.

“And this time, it’s the last detour.

“Sheng Ren, I can’t offer a better condition!
"Fan Laoba and the others have no reason not to take action now."

……

Hulao Pass.

Cartloads of food and fodder were transported in the darkness.

The lieutenant general Liang Pi, who was in charge of the escort, was also responsible for conveying the message, telling General Chen that he must continue to hold on no matter what. Then, he saw the following scene...

All the soldiers in Hulao Pass were armed and ready to go. Even the horses were lined up for battle. Everyone was waiting behind the city gate. Looking at the situation, it seemed that they were not going to defend the city but to rush out and fight to the death.

After asking.

The answer is also affirmative.

After dawn, the decisive battle will begin.

Three thousand!

Go fight 100,000 people?!

"grown ups!"

Liang Pi found the commander and said, "Marshal Meng has ordered you to use negotiations to delay time, but you must hold on and hold out for the last two months. Then the army will be able to capture Yongle Mansion!"

"Two months?"

Chen Sanshi replied calmly: "Lieutenant General Liang, there are 100,000 troops outside Hulao Pass. Once the siege begins, the city will be destroyed within 30 days. How can we hold out for two months?"

"You can't take such a big risk!"

Liang Pi found it difficult to understand. In his opinion, three thousand people rushing out to fight one hundred thousand was no different from a meat bun hitting a dog.

He advised: "If Hulao Pass is lost, the consequences will be disastrous, General. This is a serious matter. Shouldn't we inform General Meng?"

"nature."

Chen Sanshi called his senior brother's Hai Dongqing and loaded a pre-written letter: "I have already written the battle report in advance and will report it to Marshal Meng. You don't need to worry about it."

The reason why he didn't reveal his real plan was because he was worried that his superiors would disagree, especially Meng Shuai.

This guy is too cautious. If he hears about going out of the city for a decisive battle, he will definitely go crazy.

That's why I told the truth before the war.

In this case, it will be too late for anyone to veto it.

and……

Who wants to take risks?

If Chen Sanshi had 10,000, no, even if he only had 7,000 soldiers, he would have the confidence to hold out for another two months, but the problem was that there were really only 3,000 people, and even fewer of them were good at communicating with each other, so it all depended on Deng Feng alone.

Continuing to delay will lead to a dead end.

There is only one way to avoid losing.

That's winning!

From beginning to end, he just wanted to win.

……

Yongle Mansion.

Another round of bloody fighting.

After more than a month, both sides suffered heavy losses.

The Qing Kingdom lost over 10,000 soldiers, and the Sheng Kingdom suffered a similar number of casualties.

The biggest advantage of Dasheng is that the food and grass in Yongle Mansion cannot last for too long. When the food and grass are exhausted, the city will be destroyed and people will die. However, there is still the problem of Hulao Pass, which is like a sword hanging over the heart and may take one's life at any time.

"Can you think of a way to send some more troops to Hulao Pass?"

Meng Quji held the map with his bloodstained hands and said, "We can use some of the surrendered soldiers from Qing Kingdom. If Yongle Mansion sends some more, how many people can we mobilize?"

Zhan Taiming estimated: "At most, we can squeeze out more than 2,000 people, and it will take more than ten days to reach Hulao Pass at the fastest. There is not even a single senior general."

"That's okay too."

Meng Quji ordered: "Let's do this. Although there aren't many people, it's better than nothing. Maybe we can hold out for a few more days."

Just as the two were racking their brains, thinking about how to help Hulao Pass.

The subordinates sent the information.

"Oh no!"

"General, Hulao Pass, something big happened at Hulao Pass!"

Hear this.

Meng Quji, who had just sat down, stood up suddenly and almost rushed over, saying as if he was facing a formidable enemy: "Negotiations are useless. Nanxu is attacking the city? Can't they hold on? No, Zhan Taiming, you go there yourself!"

He didn't even have the chance to finish talking to his subordinates before he began to think of ways to rescue them.

"I?"

Zhan Taiming hesitated and said, "Marshal, if I go, what will you do?"

"His Royal Highness!"

Meng Quji said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that he would try to transfer people here again, but he is not sure when. Anyway...you don't have to worry about me. Hulao Pass is the most important. If it really doesn't work..."

"Commander..."

The subordinate who reported the news interrupted with a hoarse voice: "I haven't finished yet! General Chen is preparing to lead 3,000 black armored troops out of the city for a decisive battle."

"decisive battle?"

Meng Quji simply felt that he was hallucinating because he was too tired from not sleeping day and night. "Aren't there 100,000 soldiers from Nanxu outside Hulao Pass? Who is he going to fight?"

"It's a decisive battle with an army of 100,000."

The subordinate replied: "General, you were attacking the city just now, you can read the secret letter yourself."

"where!"

After reading the content, Meng Quji almost fainted. He staggered and held on to the table: "What is Chen Sanshi going to do? We agreed to delay the peace talks, and even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince gave him his seal of approval! The negotiations can at least be delayed for another ten days or so. Who knows, we might make a breakthrough. Why take such a big risk?"

"Write quickly!"

Zhan Taiming ordered: "Be sure to stop General Chen and tell him that we can send him reinforcements!"

"It's too late. By the time the letter arrives, they might have already started fighting."

Meng Quji sighed: "I have never been so frightened in my life. Chen Sanshi is really tormenting people. He not only tortures the enemy, but also tortures his own people."

"Commander..."

Zhan Taiming said anxiously: "What should we do then?"

"How to do?"

Meng Quji held his forehead and said, "What else can we do now? We can only choose to believe him. The worst result is that the Southern Xu army will rush into Laizhou from Hulao, and we will evacuate from Yongle Prefecture and fight a protracted war of separatism. This is also my original idea..."

……

Nanxu military camp.

The Chinese military tent.

The other side has three Xuanxiang generals here.

To prevent accidents.

The three generals of Nan Xu also gathered together, and arranged many lieutenant generals, Hua Jin, and a large number of elite troops around the big tent in advance to ensure that nothing could go wrong.

After a banquet of false courtesy, the two sides formally began negotiations.

Fan Shuzhen looked at Sheng Guo's letter of request and confirmed again and again that the seals on it were authentic.

He asked, "General Fang, if this is true, how long will it take for your country to fulfill its promise?"

"Three months."

Fang Qingyun replied calmly: "Ceding the city and land involves a large number of matters, and it is naturally not something that can be accomplished overnight."

"too long."

Ran Jingxuan said bluntly: "Do you want my army to wait here for three months? I'm afraid you have already settled down in Laizhou? What if you regret it by then?"

"Just tell me."

Fang Qingyun asked, "How can you be satisfied and withdraw your troops from Lingzhou?"

Ran Jingxuan gave his reply: "You order the Prince of Zhennan to withdraw from the south immediately, and replace it with the army of our Great Xu in the south to station in Dehua, Mangshan, and Liwan, three prefectures north of the Great Wall. In addition,... In this way, everything can be completed within half a month, and neither of us will waste time."

"Is it too much?"

Sha Wenlong couldn't bear to listen any longer: "If you take control of these three prefectures, it's almost like you control the lifeline of the South. What if you're still not satisfied and launch a large-scale northern expedition?"

"This~"

Ran Jingxuan spread his hands and said, "It has nothing to do with us. If you disagree, please go back. We will continue to attack Hulao Pass."

"Give us some time to think about it."

Fang Qingyun seemed very conflicted: "After all, this is a serious matter."

"it is good!"

Fan Shuzhen agreed immediately: "Those people should rest in the tent tonight. Please give us an answer tomorrow morning. Otherwise, I will think that you are just stalling and have no sincerity at all!"

Negotiations completed.

Fan Shuzhen and the other two left one after another.

Only the generals of Sheng State were left in the account.

"What should I do?"

Sha Wenlong paced back and forth anxiously: "They are too much. If we really do what they say, the pressure on the southern defense line will be huge in the future. But if we don't agree, I'm afraid we won't be able to go back!"

He knew very well that they had been surrounded for a long time.

"It's better than this!"

Sha Wenlong continued, "Let's just pretend to agree first, and then regret it after we go back."

"good idea."

Wang Zhi agreed: "Let's keep General Sha as a hostage."

"Um?!"

Sha Wenlong was anxious: "General Fang, General Deng?"

Fang Qingyun closed his eyes and rested.

Deng Feng started studying the sand table.

No one paid any attention to him.

……

Unknowingly.

Just a few hours passed.

The sky is about to brighten.

The flying eagle from Yongle Mansion finally arrived.

"it is good!"

Fan Shuzhen was excited: "Military Advisor, Li Gong really agreed. What do you think? Should we just do it?"

"Don't worry."

Ran Jingxuan said: "Ask Shengren again and see if they can offer a higher price."

……

Hulao Pass.

Chen Sanshi pointed his spear at the vast Nanxu army that was surging across the wilderness and asked:
"The enemy has 100,000 soldiers and we have 3,000. Are you afraid?!"

Everyone was silent.

They were not afraid, but the difference in numbers was too great. "It seems that you still don't have the confidence!"

Chen Sanshi said in a resounding voice: "In your opinion, the enemy is coming in large numbers, but in my opinion, the enemy has many flaws. Therefore, our army has ten wins, while the enemy army has ten losses. Adding the two together, how can our army not win?"

Xia Cong asked: "General, my brothers are stupid, can you tell me which ten victories and which ten defeats the enemy and us have?"

"Okay, then I'll tell you about it!"

Chen Sanshi mobilized the soldiers' emotions:

"The bandits from Nanxu are just hyenas who took advantage of the war on the border of Dasheng to sneak in and beg for food. Our Dasheng soldiers are here to recover the lost territory and restore the Imperial Ancestral Temple. This is the first victory, a victory of morality!

"On paper, our army may not have many people, but everyone is wearing full black iron armor that cannot be cut by a knife or broken by an axe. Even the horses they ride are all top-quality BMWs! On the other hand, half of the enemy troops are wearing old armor and most of them have no horses. This is our second victory, the victory of equipment!

"Although the bandits are numerous, half of them have only been trained for two years. The brothers of the Black Armor Army have all practiced martial arts since childhood. Who can't fight one against a hundred? This is the third victory, the victory of people!
"...

"...

"The enemy has not won a single victory since arriving in Lingzhou, but has our army ever suffered a single defeat?!"

All the generals spoke in unison.

“Never lost!”

"This is the ninth victory, a victory of great momentum!"

Chen Sanshi watched his subordinates' expressions gradually become more fanatical, and uttered the last sentence:
"at last!
"Brothers, do you remember the battle at Silver Pine Cliff? Did the gods help?

"The enemy has 100,000 people, but they are just ordinary people, a mob. However, my Black Armor Army, all the formations they set up are from the Heavenly Book, and all the soldiers they send out are soldiers helped by God. How can they be stopped by a bunch of chickens and dogs?

“This is the tenth victory!
“Victory of time!
"With these ten wins and ten losses, even though the enemy is numerous, they are just tigers made of mud and sand. They will collapse in the blink of an eye!"

God help!

The soldiers of the Black Armor Army naturally knew that what they practiced day and night were the immortal soldier formations recorded by the gods in the Heavenly Book, but if that was the case, could it be that the thunder in the battle at Silver Pine Cliff was not just a coincidence, and that there would be thunder to help in today's decisive battle? !
Seems to see what they are thinking.

"Today, there is more than just thunder!!"

Chen Sanshi spoke again: "Half an hour later, the Nine Skies will descend, and the heavenly soldiers and generals will come to the mortal world and merge with us. By then, we will be the heavenly soldiers descending from the sky. With just one round of attack, the 100,000 bandits will abandon their armor and flee in all directions!"

"Nine Skies Falling?!"

"really?!"

The soldiers became extremely excited.

"You will know whether it is true or not after trying it!"

at last.

Above the sky, the east gradually brightened up.

But the soldiers' vision did not become wider, and even the 100,000-strong enemy army of Nanxu disappeared.

because……

On March 25th, there was heavy fog!

The hazy fog enveloped the wasteland for hundreds of miles, and the white steam was lingering in the mist. The vast land seemed to have turned into a fairyland on earth. Could it be that the clouds from the sky had fallen to the mortal world? !

"The time has come!"

"Array-"

"Nine Heavenly Soldiers Formation!"

"When the formation is complete, we will transform into heavenly soldiers—"

Chen Sanshi held up his spear and the front hooves of the white horse under his crotch were raised high. In his arms, the white mysterious energy that had been accumulated in the black pearl until now was consumed all at once. The extremely rich mysterious energy turned into a celestial dragon, hovering over the heads of the three thousand black armor soldiers.

"Rumble--"

The Black Armor Army, which had practiced this battle countless times, completed its battle formation in the shortest time possible.

at the same time.

Something mysterious happened.

The Black Armor Army after forming up seemed to form a huge whirlpool between heaven and earth. The thick fog within a radius of hundreds of miles was gradually drawn in, completely covering the three thousand Black Armors, while the rest of the place became clear and sunny, so much so that the Black Armor Army seemed to have completely disappeared. From the outside, there was only a white haze.

Under such a mysterious miracle, wrapped in extremely thick fog, the morale of the Black Armor Army soldiers reached an unprecedented peak. At this moment, they believed it completely.

This battle.

Just like the thunder that struck the Silver Pine Cliff, heavenly soldiers will descend from the sky to help!

Mysterious bead!

The immortal formation borrows the power of heaven and earth!
According to the records in the Heavenly Book, almost every celestial phenomenon has a corresponding formation.

Thunderstorms, floods, strong winds, skyfire, and even... stars!
Every kind of formation.

Combined with the corresponding timing, they can burst out extraordinary power. The strength of the power depends on the Xuanqi or the strength of the people in the formation.

Just like the thunder of Silver Pine Cliff could attract the thunder, if there is a big fire, it can use the fire to its advantage...

That formation that draws on the power of the stars, if one is able to observe the celestial phenomena and happens to encounter a meteor streaking across the sky, with enough spiritual energy, one can even draw the stars down like the thunder from heaven!
However, judging from current experience, it requires a huge amount of mysterious energy to achieve this.

But the mysterious energy in front of me.

It is enough to unleash the power of the Nine Heavens Heavenly Soldiers Formation.

How can Nanxu's army of 100,000 soldiers resist the heavenly army?

Their defeat is certain!
"Three thousand black armors!"

"Follow me!"

"Charging into the formation——"

……

At the same time, in the Nanxu military camp.

The Chinese military tent.

This is a big battle.

All the masters in the Xuanxiang realm are still... negotiating.

"General Fang, have you thought it through?"

Fan Shuzhen issued an ultimatum: "Do you really not agree to add another state?"

"Isn't this a bit too much?"

After a long thought, Fang Qingyun slowly refused and said, "Lord Fan, I don't think you have any sincerity in negotiation. You are simply asking for an exorbitant price."

"Oh?"

Fan Shuzhen narrowed his eyes and said, "So General Fang means that we don't need to talk anymore?"

"Rong will think about it again."

Fang Qingyun said calmly: "You guys are really pushing too hard."

"The last half hour!"

Fan Shuzhen said in a deep voice: "General Fang, please make a decision as soon as possible."

……

Former army.

The Nanxu soldiers, who had already formed their battle formation and were about to charge towards Hulao Pass as soon as the war drums sounded, suddenly received a notice to suspend the siege last night.

Ever since.

One hundred thousand people, stretching for twenty miles, waited in the wilderness for a whole night.

They didn't dare sleep that night.

There was still no movement until daybreak. They could not hold on any longer and all of them sat down.

"Is this war still going to be fought?"

“Maybe not.”

"I heard that negotiations have already begun."

"It would be best if we don't fight. I heard there are 30,000 people in Hulao Pass!"

"Moreover, that white-robed Chen Sanshi can also summon thunder to strike people!"

"..."

"Everyone stand up!"

Lieutenant General Cheng Guangyao was in charge of the front army. He sat on his horse and shouted, "Maintain the formation. Anyone who talks nonsense again will have his tongue cut off!"

“What a thick fog!”

"Yeah, I can't see anything clearly."

"..."

As the sky gradually brightens.

A hazy fog filled the wilderness, causing visibility to become extremely low.

"Why are you making such a fuss about fog?"

Cheng Guangyao started whipping the soldiers who were sitting lazily on the ground with a whip: "Get up, the fog will dissipate in a while... Hey, why is it dissipating so quickly?"

He rode a short distance away.

I noticed that the fog that had just arisen quickly dissipated, at a speed that was somewhat abnormal.

In just a short while, the foggy weather turned clear.

"What the hell."

"What's the weather?"

"Yeah, I've never seen fog dissipate so quickly!"

"wrong!"

"Look carefully, the fog is not dispersing, the fog is..."

"Ran!"

That's right.

The fog is gone!
On top of their heads.

The fog covering the sky all drifted in one direction.

Can……

There is obviously no wind!
These mists seemed to have life and were attracted by something.

"Hey!"

"It's amazing!"

"what happened?"

"Crash!"

Seeing this amazing sight, the Nanxu soldiers, who had been listless after a night of hard work, stood up one after another and stretched their necks forward, wanting to see it more clearly.

Ahead is the north.

That is the direction of Hulao Pass.

More and more fog gathered in the north, until it finally covered the entire Hulao Pass, turning it into a completely white expanse.

The State of Nanxu is rich in mountains and rivers.

They were very familiar with fog, and that was why they were even more certain that the situation before them was abnormal.

"What are you doing?"

Cheng Guangyao was so absorbed in watching that he even forgot his mission of maintaining order.

"fog!"

"The fog is back!"

"Look, look!"

"..."

Outside Hulao Pass, the thick fog that covered the sky and the sun gathered to its peak and then began to move, sweeping towards the direction of the army.

"What is this?"

"Oh my god!"

“Is this fog alive?
"..."

When the fog gets closer, you can faintly hear sounds coming from inside.

like……

There is the sound of horse hooves.

There are the sounds of war drums!

"Boom boom boom——"

"Da da da--"

The sound became more and more real.

The soldiers of Nanxu began to feel the ground shaking, and their internal organs began to tremble constantly in the deafening sound of war drums. Almost in an instant, the fog that was clearly several miles away had already arrived in front of the Nanxu vanguard.

"not good!"

"It's the enemy..."

Cheng Guangyao suddenly realized what was going on, and before he could shout out, an arrow shot out from the fog like thunder, carrying a tremendous force, and pierced his throat directly without warning.

"Boom!"

He fell straight off his horse.

"enemy!"

"There is an enemy attack——"

At this moment.

The soldiers of Nanxu finally realized that there were enemy troops in the fog!
pity.

It's too late.

The thick fog engulfed the vanguard army in an instant.

After entering the fog.

The soldiers of Nanxu only saw...

A heavenly army!
Heavenly soldiers and heavenly generals!

Black iron armor, golden weapons and iron horses blend together;
The sky is filled with mist and clouds, and the divine weapons and heavenly blades are sharp.

Just in time for sunrise.

Strands of golden light penetrated into the fog and sprinkled on the black armor, shining brightly, sacred and murderous.

It's like a god descending to the mortal world, a true immortal soldier from the earth!
For a while.

The soldiers of Nanxu were actually a little stunned.

Not to mention resisting, they even forgot to escape.

"Click——"

It was not until the steel torrent roared past and blood fountains continued to splash in the white mist that the soldiers of Nanxu suddenly woke up and fell into endless panic.

"immortal!"

“There are gods!”

"Heavenly soldiers and generals!"

"..."

"Pfft-"

A plague called "fear" began to spread among the 100,000-strong army.

"Not the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals..."

Lieutenant General Xin Qifan saw with his own eyes that in the thick fog, there was a dark black flag inlaid with a vermilion brocade border dancing wildly, and on it was written a large gold-plated character with a murderous aura - Chen!

The general flag with the character "Chen" on it!

It’s a great celebration!
It's a white robe!
"It's the people from Hulao Pass who have come out to attack us!"

Xin Qifan screamed loudly: "Hold on! Form a formation, form a formation——"

"what happened!"

"Aren't we negotiating?"

"Why did they start fighting again!"

"Thirty thousand!"

"There are more than 30,000 of them!"

"It's three hundred thousand!"

"Look!"

"Bullshit, fifty thousand at most, where did three hundred thousand come from?"

Xin Qifan killed the subordinate who had shaken the morale of the army with one strike of his sword.

However, the chaotic situation could not be reversed.

The army of Southern Xu.

Totally unprepared!
More importantly...

No one is in command!

In this situation right now, what is most needed is someone to come out and stabilize the situation!
These lieutenant generals simply can't do it!

At least it will take a long time.

But the problem is...

They were all in the central military tent ten miles away, negotiating!

"what!"

Wailing sounds followed one after another.

The vanguard army began to collapse uncontrollably.

"Run!!!!"

"..."

"General!"

"Quickly go inform the prince and the general!"

"Enemy attack!"

"Dasheng is charging!"

"..."

……

The Chinese military tent.

"General Fang!"

Fan Shuzhen reminded: "It's time!"

"Yes, General Fang."

Ran Jingxuan asked, "How are you thinking about it?"

"it is good."

Fang Qingyun said leisurely: "I agree to all of them."

"You all agree?!"

Fan Shuzhen sneered.

No one would believe this.

If it's true, it would be like pie in the sky.

"Okay."

Ran Jingxuan did not expose the truth, but simply said, "In this case, General Fang will sign on behalf of Sheng State, and then immediately carry out what we said, and then, everyone will follow us back to Da Xu."

The implication is obvious
Keep the hostages.

"General Sha!"

Fang Qingyun called out, "You stay, we're leaving."

"?"

Without waiting for Sha Wenlong to refute.

Ran Jingxuan rejected the idea and said, "General Fang, this won't do. This is a serious matter. None of you can leave until the dust settles. But don't worry, as long as you can really do what is said in the contract, Da Xu promises to treat you as guests of honor."

"All staying?"

Fang Qingyun said, "Someone has to go back to report the news. Not only should we be sincere, but should you Nanxu also show some sincerity?"

The argument continued.

There was a sudden noise outside.

"what happened?!"

Fan Shuzhen shouted loudly.

"Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty!"

A lieutenant general stumbled into the tent and said incoherently: "It's bad, it's bad! The Sheng people in Hulao Pass suddenly launched an attack on our army. I don't know how many people there are. We can't stop them at all, we can't stop them..."

"Bah!!!"

Fan Shuzhen was furious. He grabbed his weapon in an instant and asked sternly, "Fang Qingyun, is this what you call negotiation?!"

Ran Jingxuan was even more shocked.

He couldn't believe it.

All the generals were trapped inside Hulao Pass.

Chen Sanshi led his few men to charge into the battle?

this is not……

Looking for death?
"Chen Sanshi broke in?!"

Sha Wenlong scratched his head and said, "Is he crazy?"

Damn it.

Aren't you going to kill them?

"My Lord, don't panic!"

Ran Jingxuan comforted him, "It's meaningless for him to do this. If he kills these people, there will be no Xuanxiang left in Hulao Pass. Chen is just seeking death if he rushes in."

"Military advisor, what you said makes sense!"

"I have an army of 100,000, how could I be afraid of a tiny Tongmai!"

"Someone is coming!"

Fan Shuzhen pointed his huge sword at Fang Qingyun and others and gave an order.

The ambush troops that had been prepared for a long time rushed out, and countless swords, spears, swords, and heavy black iron shields surrounded the central army tent layer by layer.

"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding!"

Sha Wenlong hurriedly explained: "Lord Fan, we are really here to negotiate. The man surnamed Chen acted on his own initiative and it has nothing to do with us! Right, General Fang..."

Only then did he notice.

Fang Qingyun and Wang Zhi did not show any surprise on their faces, as if they had anticipated the direction of events.

"you……"

Sha Wenlong couldn't accept it: "You knew about this a long time ago, was it planned?!"

He was completely unaware.

In fact, Deng Feng didn't know either, but he didn't care. He just had to obey orders and do whatever he was told to do, even if it meant death.

"Fang Qingyun!"

Fan Shuzhen angrily sneered, "I am sorry that I negotiated with you sincerely, but you, a despicable and shameless villain, dared to play tricks on me. Go!"

"Suffer death——"
