The sun is at its peak.

The solid south wall of Wuyaguan has collapsed.

It was a huge opening about thirty feet wide, which divided Wuya Pass into two.

Nosebleeds were mixed with dust on his twitching face, and his eyes were dull.

The Red Flame Army's firework attack seemed to have stopped. He supported the wall with both hands and looked at the wall, his mind filled with despair.

Many people died.

Five thousand people came out!

How many people are left?

How long will it take for the soldiers from Qichengzhai to arrive?

That's too late!

They came just in time to die!

His Royal Highness, Your Majesty... Your Majesty...

Gou Kuo suddenly burst into tears, "I, I will die!"

Zhang Shiqiang, the right deputy general of the border guard, hurried over at this moment and said, "General!"

Gou Kuo wiped away his tears and asked in despair: "How many people can fight?"

"...Back to General, I don't know about the south, but we still have ten thousand people here who can fight!"

Gou Kuo took a deep breath and said, "This is the general's order to order everyone to go down the pass and defend the broken wall..."

"You must keep it!"

"If the cavalry from Qichengzhai can arrive in the middle of the night... we still have a chance!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the soldiers rushed over and said, "Report to the general!"

"explain!"

"……Ran,"

Gou Kuo frowned: "What ran away?"

"The soldiers guarding the gate have escaped!"

Gou Kuo was shocked. He grabbed the collar of the messenger and pulled him over. He glared at the messenger fiercely: "What did you say?"

The messenger's lower body suddenly felt hot, and an unpleasant odor filled the air.

"Guard, those who guarded the gate are still alive, those more than 10,000 soldiers, they, they just ran away!"

Gou Kuo didn't seem to smell the smell, and his eyes widened: "Why did they run away?!"

"...There are rumors that you, the general,...were killed in battle!"

Gou Kuo's eyes darkened, his hands loosened, and the messenger collapsed to the ground. His hands were holding on to the city wall, and his body was teetering.

Zhang Shiqiang quickly supported him. After a few breaths, when he saw Gou Kuo woke up, he cautiously whispered:

"General, the enemy has begun to take action..."

"We have no one to defend us. Staying here is a dead end. What better to do than... leave the green hills without worrying about having no firewood... General, if you don't leave, it will be too late!"

Gou Kuo suddenly pushed Zhang Shiqiang away.

He staggered two steps and laughed.

"This great general is rich in knowledge, and his sand table deduction is unrivaled!"

"How could this great general lose?"

"You, you villains who deceive the public with your monstrous words...this general is going to kill you all...all of you!"

He pulled out the broad sword from his waist with a clanging sound. Zhang Shiqiang took a look and realized that the general was probably crazy!

Gotta run!

He cannot be a lieutenant general, nor can he be a soldier. He has no choice but to become a bandit.

Just as he turned around, a hooking voice came from behind him:

"etc!"

Zhang Shiqiang stopped and turned around, and was surprised to see Gou Kuo inserting the broad sword into the scabbard.

His complexion returned to normal!

Even his tone of voice became calmer.

"This battle is not my fault, General!"

"The enemy's fireworks are really powerful!"

"I have figured it out, General. You are right. You can keep the green hills without worrying about having firewood..."

He looked down at the soldiers of the Red Flame Army who were charging upwards, and wiped his face, "I still have a chance, General! Don't give up so easily!"

"There is still my 70,000-strong army in Qicheng Village! My 70,000-strong army will be gathered by this general to come back again!"

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that making fireworks is not easy. How many fireworks are left by the enemy?"

"It's not much!"

"This Wuya Pass is still..."

Zhang Shiqiang interrupted him, "General, if you want to run, run quickly!"

"All the war horses were snatched away by those ruffians!"

Gou Kuo was startled: "Then what are you waiting for? Let's go!"

…

…

The healing medicine that Xiao Wu asked so many doctors to prepare was not used at all.

The Red Flame Army rushed into the collapsed area, into Wuya Pass, and onto the wall.

Along the long wall, except for those with broken limbs and severely injured people who were still lingering, there was no enemy who could stand up.

The entire battlefield is comparable to Shura Field.

The air is still filled with the smell of gunpowder smoke.

There was also the smell of burnt corpses in the smoke.

Yan Jinong climbed onto the wall and began to organize his soldiers to clean up the battlefield and prepare for the reinforcements from Qichengzhai.

Wu Mian stayed behind and ordered his troops to push the catapults to Wuya Pass.

He went to the camp of the Divine Guards alone and stood in front of Yuan Su.

He bowed his hands and said, "Hello, General Yuan!"

Yuan Su returned the salute: "You are now a general. This battle... has changed the pattern of war for thousands of years. Your name will surely be recorded in history with this battle!"

Wu Mian shook his head and smiled: "It's all because of the sharpness of the weapon, not my fault. If you want to talk about merit... this merit belongs to none other than the Regent!"

Yuan Su pondered for three breaths and asked: "So, the catapult was also made by the regent?"

"Exactly!"

Yuan Su looked at Wuyaguan, which was riddled with holes, "He...does have something special about him!"

Wu Mian asked: "What is the next task of the old general...?"

"Enter the Kingdom of Wu!"

Wu Mian was shocked: "Invading the Wu Kingdom alone?"

"Exactly!"

"Why?"

Yuan Su's old face showed a smile. He did not answer Wu Mian's question, but said: "What? Are you worried that I will stab you in the back?"

Wu Mian was not modest, so he replied: "The Red Flame Army can't stand even a knife in the waist!"

Yuan Su looked at Guan Qiang and stroked his long beard: "I heard that Li Chenan said something, Ningren's sword should never be pointed at Ningren!"

"So you can rest assured that I and the Divine Guards are all Ning people."

Wu Mian pondered for three breaths, "The wall has been broken. When will the old general prepare to set off?"

"hold on."

"What are you waiting for?"

"Wait until you eliminate the main force of Qicheng Village in Xiayuanzhou."

"Old General, do you think the soldiers from Qichengzhai will come to die?"
