Chapter 108 The Lu family army is coming!

The west gate of Kyoto.

The heavy door was pulled by the iron lock, and the elite soldiers worked together to

Finally, it burst open.

Outside the door!

The deafening sound of horse hooves echoed between heaven and earth!
"Tap - step -"

The sound of knocking on the ground and the collision of iron armor plates combined to create a strange and heart-pounding melody!
Look from afar!

Like a undulating black dragon, it rose from the distant horizon, its scales opening and closing, releasing bloody murderous intent.

At the forefront of this army!

A blood-red flag was fluttering, with a huge word "Lu" embroidered on it!

"Is this... Lu's army?"

There was an old veteran fighting at the city gate. He was the garrison commander of the west gate of the capital and held a military rank of fifth rank.

He was an old soldier who had fought in many battles and had numerous scars on his body, but at this moment he was muttering to himself with disbelief in his eyes.

He once participated in the uprising of the people in the south of the Yangtze River, was promoted for his military merits, and had seen blood and groups of dead bodies!

But this scene in front of me!
But it made him feel unprecedented shock.

"tread--"

"tread--"

Such a terrifying torrent, even the elite Jinwu Guards of Kyoto had never seen such a momentum!
He couldn't help but recall Lu Jiajun's evaluation.

"Bloody and muddy!"

"It's easy to shake a mountain, but it's hard to shake Lu's army!"

This powerful army from the north was an iron-blooded force that had prevented the northerners from easily moving south for the past fifteen years.

Their reputation had long been sung in the north wind when the historians of the north wind recorded this army.

They have to be described as "vicious soldiers".

today!

The Lu family army finally set foot in Jiangnan. Their arrival seemed even more terrifying than the rumors!
The guard at the city gate looked at the flood of armored soldiers coming like a tide and couldn't help feeling a little scared.

The sound of the horses' hooves beat in unison like a knock on his heart, making him uneasy and worried whether the city could withstand such a powerful army without it.

"General, we have received orders to open the city gates, but is this really appropriate?"

The gate guard asked in a trembling voice. He was afraid that once the city gates were opened, the people and soldiers in the city would be exposed to this fierce army and would be unable to withstand its attack.

The veteran was furious and kicked him directly.

"The battle hasn't even started yet, and you're already so scared. Besides, you're not Bei Feng, why are you afraid of Luan Zi?"

The old general was standing on the top of the city wall, looking at the approaching Lu family army, and couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart.

He knew very well that the garrison at the city gate had been greatly weakened. Not only had most of the soldiers been transferred away, but even the several supporting camps were empty and non-existent.

All of them were transferred into the palace.

I don’t know what happened!
It is no exaggeration to say that such a defense is "empty". It is simply unable to withstand any large-scale attack, let alone the Lu family army in front of them, which is so powerful.

However, the order from above made him feel a little relieved.

The old general took out a secret decree from the palace with only a few words on it.

"Open the city gates and welcome the Lu family army into the city."

He frowned slightly, and it was not until the second letter arrived that his frown relaxed.

"Follow his orders, exchange defenses, and live!"

He knew the origin of the letter; it was Lord Xie Chunan who reminded him.

The two met and saved him from danger many times.

The Kyoto garrison no longer hesitated.

He gave the order: "Welcome the Lu family army into the city."

The trumpet at the city gate sounded.

Looking at the huge army approaching the city, the murderous aura was overwhelming.

Just like iron cavalry circling Dragon City!
Let the guards at the city gate tremble!
Fortunately!

The veteran didn't have the courage to stop such a large army!

At this moment, it was a wise move to follow the trend and allow the Lu family army to enter the city smoothly. The Lu family army did not rush into the city, but took a short rest outside the city and formed several strict camps.

Then, he slowly walked through the city gate and entered the territory of Kyoto.

Among them, the "Dengzi Camp" served as the vanguard and immediately took over the guarding of the city gate as soon as they entered the city.

This sudden change caused quite a stir in the city.

Upon seeing this, the lieutenant general hurriedly and loudly ordered:

"This is the order from the palace. Don't panic, just do your duty!"

With his comfort, the tense atmosphere was gradually eased and a possible conflict was avoided.

The old veteran standing on the wall recognized several people, all of whom were famous figures in the past.

Leading the group was a tall middle-aged man.

"The commander-in-chief of the Zhenbei Army, decided on Yanbei, made plans for Nanyang, and destroyed 200 cities without any setbacks. The commander-in-chief of the Zhenbei Army is Feng Haiping."

A big man with a dark face and beard.

"One of the twenty-six generals of the pavilion, Jia Fu, the flying general who is the first to ascend the throne, is a man who can stabilize Heluo."

A scholar in white.

"He ranks twelfth among the Twenty-Six Generals of the Pavilion. He is a talented general who is good at both civil and military affairs. He is the brave guard of Changshui, Dou Gu."

A middle-aged monk in a robe and holding a sword.

"The 18th among the 26 generals in the pavilion, the best in attacking cities and breaking through enemy lines, the living Buddhist general Cheng Pu."

There are more digits behind!

The veteran didn't recognize some of them and could only vaguely guess their identities.

There is an old Taoist in white and a general holding a spear!

But each of them was a world-famous figure at that time.

We all entered Kyoto today!
The Lu family army did not rush straight to the palace as everyone expected.

Instead, he turned towards the direction of the Imperial City Division. This move made the old general on the top of the city look focused and full of doubts.

He knew very well that the Imperial City Office was a humble government office and of no importance, but now the Lu family army chose to go there. What was their intention?

Imperial City Division?
It has been more than ten years since the heavenly drum was struck today, and there has been no movement since then.

The veteran recalled the various rumors in recent days and gradually had some ideas in his mind.

General Lu was arrested, the emperor was furious and held Zhongnanshan responsible, and then there was news that Shao Bao would come to Beijing.

Could it be that this is why you came here?

Unfortunately, he was just a small city gate guard with too low authority to know the secrets that would dominate the changes in the court.

suddenly!

An even more shocking thought came to his mind:

What would happen if Shao Bao really took over the throne...

But as soon as this thought came to his mind, he rejected it.

These things are not for an old man like him to worry about!

……

……

[The three of you walk out of the Imperial City Division.]

【Only heard on the street! 】

[The sound of horse hooves like drums was heard, like thunder rolling across the sky, shaking the ground in Kyoto slightly.]

[The air is filled with an indescribable tension and anticipation, making people hold their breath in anticipation. ]

[The soldiers from the five schools of the Northern Army, wearing armor and holding weapons, lined up on both sides of the street. They looked serious and nervous, and looked towards the street corner from time to time, as if a terrifying beast was about to emerge from there.]

[Deng Ping's eyes were particularly sharp. He pursed his lips tightly, his gaze fixed on the street corner, as if he wanted to see through the high wall and see the source of all this.]

[His fingers unconsciously tightened around the sword at his waist.]

[In contrast, Lu Yu smiled calmly. ]

“They’re so fast!”

[As he finished speaking, the deafening sound got closer and closer——]
