Eternal Sword

Chapter 619 The army presses the territory
It was still a hundred miles away from Wusun Tianguan and the night was already deep.

The barbarian army has set up camp and will set out early tomorrow morning. If things go well, they will be able to enter the pass in one day.

At this moment, the lights in the army camp were bright.

The commander of this army, Tianying from the Tianshen Department, had just received the news from the Wusun Kingdom. He was furious and summoned all his deputy generals to his tent.

"I just received a secret letter from the Wusun Kingdom."

Tianying said in a deep voice: "The Wusun Kingdom is in conflict again. The Demon Lord, a disciple of the Demon Lord Xiling, has taken action, and the Great Kunmi has regained his position. Moreover, this person has threatened to stop our army from entering the pass!"

"Xi Ling Demon Lord!"

When this name was mentioned, it caused quite a stir among the deputy generals.

A deputy general asked, "How many people did this demon king bring with him?"

"He's the only one."

Tianying said: "I heard that a team of several hundred people was temporarily formed."

"What is this person's level of cultivation?" asked another deputy general.

Tianying said: "Third level meridian opening."

The deputy generals under his command looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief.

"This man is really dreaming. A third-grade Tongmai and hundreds of ant-like soldiers actually want to stop our barbarian army!" A deputy general sneered.

Tianying said in a deep voice: "Everyone, pass on my military order. The army should reorganize and rest. We should move camp after three o'clock. We should speed up the march and kill them by surprise. We should enter the pass after daybreak!"

"General, this man is so bold, could there be an ambush?"

A deputy general asked with a frown.

Another deputy general said in a deep voice: "Since this man has re-supported the Great Kunmi to take the throne, will the Wusun Kingdom stand on his side and choose to be the enemy of our barbarians?"

Tianying stood up, waved his hand, and said with great pride: "That's perfect. If the Wusun Kingdom dares to stop us, we will march into the pass and split into two groups. One group will escort food and grass to Liangzhou, and the other group will continue to go south to conquer Wusun and completely incorporate Wusun into the barbarian land!"

"After this internal strife, the Wusun Kingdom has long been riddled with holes and is vulnerable to further attack."

"Although we only have 10,000 men under our command, they are all elite soldiers with great momentum and are invincible. We also have the help of elephant soldiers and bull demon heavy cavalry, which is enough to flatten all the cities of Wusun!"

With a clang!
Tianying drew the great sword from his waist, pointed it at Wusun, and said in a deep voice, "Are you willing to join me in expanding the territory of the barbarians and establishing a great cause?"

"We are willing to follow the general until death!"

The deputy generals were so excited that their blood boiled and they agreed loudly.
-
Wusun Tianguan was built in the middle of the canyon between Tianyin Mountains and Tianshan Mountains. It is a throat fortress leading to the north and south. It is flanked by towering peaks on both sides, forming a magnificent natural barrier.

Outside the Great Wall, there is an endless grassland.

Qi Xiang and his men traveled day and night with almost no rest, and only arrived in the city last night.

It was daybreak and most people in the city were still asleep.

The guards stationed on the Tianguan city wall yawned continuously.

At this moment, someone vaguely saw that at the end of the dim and distant grassland, a dusty scene gradually rose, and a large black shadow emerged, like a black torrent, rapidly approaching this place!
"What the hell?"

The man shook his head, thinking he was seeing things.

At this moment, the ground began to tremble slightly.

Soon after, a huge army appeared in the field of vision, a black mass with several flags flying.

Some of the flags were painted with images of powerful gods.

Some flags are painted with a black bear standing upright with its mouth open and roaring.

Some flags have a huge elephant painted on them...

The barbarian army is coming! "Quick, go and inform Lord Qi!"

The guards on the city wall changed their expressions and shouted loudly.

Before he finished speaking, a group of people rushed onto the city wall from below. They were Prime Minister Qi and a group of generals.

The shaking on the ground became more and more violent, and they could feel it in the city.

"It looks like there are more than 10,000 people."

The Tianguan Guardian was shocked.

Qi Xiang looked solemn and nodded, saying, "There are 10,000 elite soldiers escorting the baggage and food, and there are thousands of ordinary soldiers transporting the food."

The vast majority of this barbarian army was composed of Black Bear Troops. In addition, everyone also saw the legendary elephant soldiers and Bull Demon heavy cavalry!
There were not many elephant soldiers in this army, only ten war elephants.

But from a distance, it was already unstoppable.

Each of the war elephants was more than ten feet tall, covered in heavy armor, with an elephant carriage on its back, in which sat the commander and two soldiers. A war general stood on its neck, and four soldiers protected the elephant's legs.

The elephant carriage is like an open-air carriage on the back of a war elephant. It has a spacious interior and the commander inside holds a command flag and gives orders.

The two soldiers can pick up the spears and bows and arrows beside them and attack at will.

The war elephants advanced slowly and steadily, and the ground shook with every step. They were like moving fortresses, terrifying to behold.

Each elephant soldier is like a combat team.

Once these ten war elephants charge into the formation, no matter whether it is heavy cavalry, light cavalry, or any large formation, they will not be able to confront them head-on!
Not to mention, each war elephant itself has incredible power, destructive power, and lethality.

There are about a hundred Bull Demon Heavy Cavalry, riding huge and strong rhinos, equipped with special armor. The cavalrymen wear heavy armor and hold spears and battle axes.

Once these hundreds of Bull Demon cavalry charge forward, what city gate can withstand them?

As the army approached, the dust on the grassland became thicker and thicker, and the sounds of trumpets and drums rose and fell, echoing between heaven and earth, making people terrified.

Various battle flags were flying in the sky, with barbarian totems and symbols painted on them, symbolizing different tribes.

The army was approaching, and the guards on the city wall had never fought with the barbarian army before.

It was not until this moment that I felt the terror brought by the barbarian army!
It was an irresistible, suffocating feeling of oppression.

This barbarian army of 10,000 people, a mixture of soldiers from different tribes, presents a momentum to crush everything!

Faced with this huge army, the guards at Tianguan did not have the slightest desire to resist.

What's the difference between fighting against such a barbarian army and committing suicide?
Chen Tang stood on the city wall, looking at the slowly approaching barbarian army with a calm expression.

Qi Xiang glanced sideways and reminded, "Your Highness, it's not too late to change your mind now. My Wusun Kingdom will not help, and I don't want to see these guards die in vain."

Chen Tang did not answer, but just whistled and suddenly jumped down from the city wall.

Swish!
A black shadow suddenly jumped out from the side, faster than lightning.

Before Chen Tang fell to the ground, he came under him and caught him!
"What a magnificent warhorse!"

"Ah, it's Pegasus!"

Someone exclaimed.

"As expected of the Demon Lord, he even subdued the Pegasus."

"Even if we have Pegasus to help us, how can we stop this barbarian army with just one person and one horse?"

The defenders on the city wall all shook their heads.

The sound of horse hooves sounded.

Under the gaze of everyone, Chen Tang let out a long roar, holding a long knife, and rushed towards the black torrent in front of him that wanted to swallow everything, like a moth to a flame!
