Chapter 642 Dou Rong was assassinated

Qinglong Pass is still so majestic and tall.

Qinglong Pass, who has experienced the bloody battle in March, stands here like an undefeated god of war, despising the coalition forces outside the pass. All the soldiers of Qinglong Pass are very confident that even without reinforcements, they can snipe the enemy outside the pass and prevent the opponent from making any progress.

Although the bloody battle in March left only 63,000 troops in Qinglong Guanzhong, the army in Qinglong Guanzhong was more confident. Most of these casualties were left at the beginning of the war. As time went by, the army in Qinglong Guanzhong became more tacit and integrated. Now it has become more and more like an arm, and the casualty rate has been greatly reduced.

At the same time, the prestige of generals such as Dou Rong, Kong Xuan and others also increased greatly in the army.

On this day, Dou Rong patrolled the army and Guan Shang as always. Along with him was his wife and deputy general, Mrs. Chedi. Only they had the patience and perseverance to patrol the army for decades.

This was a habit he developed after he was responsible for guarding the Youhun Pass. Later, he was specially commended by Qin Yun, calling on all the generals in the Shenwu Army to learn from them. As for Kong Xuan and Qiu Yin, one became a crazy practitioner and the other was a rough person, and he had no such thoughts at all.

Dou Rong, as usual, encouraged the soldiers to stand on the wall, looking at the coalition camp that was almost completely dark outside the pass, with only a few fire points, and suddenly sighed.

"Why!"

"What's wrong?" Mrs. Chedi hurried forward and asked softly.

At this time, only Mrs. Chedi was by Dou Rong, and the guards around him had spread out, which was also the reason why Dou Rong was emotionally distorted. As a general, no matter what situation he encountered in front of the soldiers, he should maintain a confident face from beginning to end.

This was taught by Qin Yun!

"This battle is not easy to fight!" Dou Rong gently stroked his wife's hand, his expression relaxed, but his eyes were still serious when he looked outside the pass.

Mrs. Chedi didn't speak, she was also a veteran on the battlefield, so she couldn't see the danger. In the eyes of ordinary soldiers, Qinglong Pass was like a natural danger. The soldiers in the pass were united and had enough food, grass, and weapons. Not to mention that it was only a mere three months, it would be no problem to stay for three years. However, in the eyes of veterans such as Dou Rong and Mrs. Chedi, many potential problems were seen.

First of all, there are still insufficient defenders in Qinglong Pass. The coalition has a total of 800,000, while the defenders are only 70,000. The difference in military strength between the two sides is too great. Although it is still good now, it will be a serious hidden danger to the physical and psychological aspects of the soldiers if they continue for a long time. The coalition has sufficient military strength, which can be ignored.

Secondly, in March, Dou Rong had completely controlled the 70,000 defenders and formed a group, but Jiang Ziya was not a vegetarian. Now the 750,000 army has been roughly controlled by Jiang Ziya, and has initially reached a stop to travel. Moreover, after three months of hard work, this huge coalition has also changed its original strength and its internal weakness, and has begun to truly gain some elite force, and its strength has not declined but increased.

It can be said that Dou Rong and Qinglongguan have a good whetstone effect.

Finally, and the most serious thing is that the effect of the "pseudo-law Realm" naturally formed by Qinglong Pass seems to be gradually fading, and spells are beginning to threaten Qinglong Pass one after another. Although it cannot be used in the army, it has gradually begun to destroy the terrain of Qinglong Pass, further expanding the disadvantages. The effect of the "pseudo-law Realm" is getting worse day by day.

It has to be said that after the Jie Sect was withdrawn completely and prepared for the Ten Thousand Immortal Formation, Qin Yun's side did have no foundation and even had no room to fight back. Once the "pseudo-Dharma Realm" was completely destroyed, it would be a time for the coalition forces to make a large invasion. Faced with the three generations of disciples of the Ancestral Sect who were about to come out in full, and there was a large number of practitioners, Dou Rong felt a mountain of pressure and pressed down.

"But there is good news. The Marquis has pacified the northern part of the country. Xia Fei's place is pretty good, and the progress is smooth. As long as we stick to it for about two months, the situation will be completely controlled by our side." Dou Rong saw his wife's sad face, and then turned to comfort him.

Mrs. Chedi nodded, and the news that Qin Yun quickly calmed down the North did give them a shot of centering agent, which stabilized their slightly confused hearts again.

Dou Rong and Mrs. Chedi stayed at the gate for a while and found that the direction of the coalition forces was still as usual, so they immediately returned to the camp to rest. Since Dou Rong arrived at Qinglong Pass, he has not been in the military camp for a day, and Mrs. Chedi is the same. The huge garrison mansion has no one except a few original servants, and it seems particularly deserted.

But when Dou Rong and Mrs. Chedi had just returned to the camp and had not had time to rest, a huge noise suddenly came from the pass. Dou Rong and Mrs. Chedi did not dare to be negligent and rushed out of the camp tent. They saw the fires rising into the sky and shouting to kill the earth.

There was exactly the direction of the defensive coalition, and it was also the location where Dou Rong and Mrs. Chedi had just finished patroling.

"The whole army assembles and prepares for the first level of combat."

When Dou Rong saw that it was not good, he immediately issued the highest combat order in the army, second only to the death. When the riots in the camp stopped and began to gather quickly, Dou Rong suddenly shouted to the guards beside him: "What's going on? Can someone report it?"

Before the Guard could reply, he heard a heart-wrenching sound coming from far to near: "Report..."

The visitor was dressed in the clothing of the lowest-level general of the Shang army, and rushed directly to Dou Rong, kneeling down on the ground and shouting loudly: "General, the enemy has opened the door. The opponent's army has pounced on it lately. Xiguan is in danger. I hope the general will launch reinforcements quickly."

The visitor seemed a little too anxious, and ran directly to Dou Rong's side not far away, and almost hit the guard's sword. When Dou Rong heard this, he felt like five thunder was thundering in his mind, and almost became confused. He quickly came to his senses, pushed away the guards around him, dragged the guards up in the future, and shouted loudly: "How is it possible? How did the enemy break through the city gate? How did Dou Li be the guard? Didn't he find out at all?"

Dou Li was Dou Rong's family general. After following Dou Rong for many years, he was also considered a powerful general. In this era, these family generals were not as useless as later generations said. Instead, they were not simple and could not be explained by nepotism.

"Because... he is dead..." The visitor suddenly looked up and showed a gloomy and strange face. At the same time, a black light suddenly shot out from the mouth of the person, hitting Dou Rong's chest like lightning.

"Ah!" Dou Rong was caught off guard and could not avoid the black light. He screamed on the spot and fell softly to the ground.
