"Zumao admires your righteousness. I was offended by my previous words. I hope you will forgive me if you know better!"

After listening to the boy's narration, Zu Mao was shocked by the behavior of Zhang Wencheng and others, and his heart was filled with sadness.

By the time Zu Mao arrived, the Nine Hell Formation Diagram had already disappeared, and its whereabouts were unknown.

Only the strong smell of mummy in the air proved the existence of Zhang Wencheng and others.

Zu Mao also found the boys crying nearby and learned the truth at that time.

He regretted it when he thought that he had misunderstood Zhang Wencheng and others as traitors before.

Knowing that one must die but moving forward fearlessly, dying generously, and inviting the enemy along with one another, how heroic! How heroic!

Such a character is truly unparalleled in loyalty!

Such a noble family is truly a model for the country!

...

"What? The vanguard army was plotted by the Jiulian City family and the entire army was wiped out?"

Shan Qingcang, the commander-in-chief of the Qingshan Dynasty, exclaimed after hearing the scout's report.

"Come here, order the army to speed up and attack Jiulian City at all costs! After breaking the city, massacre the city for three days! I want Jiulian City to be free of humans and animals!"

Shan Qingcang was really angry. He had never suffered such a big loss since he took charge of the army. An army of 100,000 people was destroyed at the last word.

"promise!"

...

In Jiulian City, Qin Huaiyu and his follow-up troops have also arrived.

"Report, Commander Shan Qingcang of the Qingshan Dynasty has mobilized an army of 700,000 to attack our Jiulian City. He threatened to massacre the city for three days after breaking the city, so that no humans or animals can survive in our Jiulian City!"

"Hmph, what a loud tone, General Qin, Zu Mao, please send troops to kill the enemy!"

After listening to what the scouts said, Qin Huaiyu had not yet expressed his stance. Zu Mao was the most impatient and took the lead in asking for orders to fight.

"What do you think, General Cheng?"

As the head coach of an army, how can you make decisions easily?

Ignoring Zu Mao's invitation to fight, Qin Huaiyu turned to Cheng Pu.

Cheng Pu was mature and prudent, and had experienced countless battles in his life. Qin Huaiyu often asked for advice humbly.

"General Qin, in my opinion, our army can only attack in this battle, but cannot defend. Jiulian City is too small and cannot use the city wall as the basis to conduct an offensive and defensive battle against the Qingshan Dynasty's 700,000-strong army."

As soon as Cheng Pu entered the city, he inspected the city defenses first. Cheng Pu found that the city wall of Jiulian City was too narrow, and the number of troops that could be deployed on the city wall might not even be used by the original 10,000 defenders in the city.

"Well, so, where are the generals!"

Cheng Pu's analysis coincided with Qin Huaiyu's thoughts. Qin Huaiyu thought about it and immediately gave the order.

"The end is here!"

"Cheng Pu listens to the order. I order you to lead 8,000 Blood Guards of the Tang Dynasty and 10,000 Zuowu Guards of the Tang Dynasty to immediately go to Gucang Mountain to set up defenses. We must stop the enemy at the foot of Gucang Mountain."

"Cheng Pu takes the order!"

There is an ancient Cang Mountain a hundred miles away from Jiulian City. The mountain is so steep that only ten thousand people can stop thousands of troops.

If there is a good general guarding the gate, there should be one man who can guard the pass, and ten thousand men will not be able to open it.

"Huang Gai listens to the order. I order you to lead 60,000 Tang Dynasty Zuowu Guards to Cangling Mountain to set up defenses. No matter what, you must hold it for at least half a month."

"Huang Gai takes the order!"

There is a mountain on the flank of Gucang Mountain called Cangling Mountain. There is a road from Cangling Mountain that can lead to a surprise attack on Gucang Mountain. Therefore, there is no room for loss in Cangling Mountain. Once it is lost, Gucang Mountain cannot be defended either.

However, the terrain of Canngling Mountain is far less steep than the ancient Cangshan Mountain, and it is really not easy to defend the mountain.

"Han Dang listens to the order and orders you to lead 20,000 Zhao cavalry to coordinate in the center and look for opportunities to harass the enemy so that they cannot attack the mountain with all their strength. There must be no mistakes!"

"Han Dang takes the order!"

"Zu Mao listens to the order and orders you to lead 10,000 Zhao cavalry to the enemy's rear with my general, attack the enemy's food and grass and cut off the enemy's retreat!"

"Zumao leads the order!"

At present, the enemy's force is huge, with 700,000 people, fighting head-on. Qin Huaiyu cannot guarantee his safety, so he can only take a risk.

"General Qin, is it too risky for you to go out personally? How about I go instead and you stay at Gucang Mountain?"

Cheng Pu asked with a frown. Since ancient times, it has always been a taboo for military officers for a coach to take risks.

"It doesn't matter. I have my own confidence, General Cheng. There is no need to worry. Besides, there are many masters of transforming gods among the enemy. I am the only one who can take on this important task."

"Well, General Qin, be careful."

Thinking of his own strength, Cheng Pu had no choice but to give up.

"But if the enemy's commander takes action himself, we won't be able to hold on. Is there anything the general can do?"

This is a question raised by Huang Gai, and it is very practical.

Once the master of transforming gods takes action, it is absolutely impossible to compete with the current strength of Cheng Pu and others.

When the time comes, a master of transformation will clear the way, and no matter how elaborate their defensive arrangements are, it will be in vain.

"It doesn't matter, here is my full blow. Even if it can't hurt the enemy's commander, it will definitely scare him back. I don't dare to attack forcefully in a short time."

Qin Huaiyu was already prepared. He took out three exquisite jade charms from his arms and handed them to Cheng Pu, Huang Gai and Han Dang.

"In this way, it doesn't matter if the general leaves. We will live up to the general's trust."

"Okay, without further ado, let's set off now."

After everyone greeted each other, they each led their troops and set off.

...

"General Zhang, ahead is Gucang Mountain. After crossing Gucang Mountain, it won't take long to reach Jiulian City."

This General Zhang is named Zhang Shanchao, and he is the new pioneer general of the Qingshan Dynasty.

At present, Zhang Shanchao is leading an army of 200,000 vanguards to march day and night, speeding towards Jiulian City.

In this chapter, Shanchao has a lot of grievances with the former vanguard general Huang Shiqing. This time he will capture Jiulian City as quickly as possible to prove that he is not comparable to that good-for-nothing Huang Shiqing.

"Okay, speed up the march and set off!"

After giving the order, Zhang Shanchao once again urged the army to speed up.

"General Zhang, there are enemy troops stationed on Gucang Mountain."

When they arrived at the foot of Gucang Mountain, the scouts discovered that the entire Gucang Mountain was covered with military flags of the Tang Dynasty, and hurriedly came to report.

"How brave! How dare you block my general's path and order the army to attack the mountain immediately, without any mistakes!"

Zhang Shanchao was furious and shouted angrily.

"General Zhang, that's not right. The army has been traveling all the way and the soldiers are exhausted. How can we forcefully attack the mountain? My subordinates suggest that we let the soldiers rest for a while before attacking the mountain. Then we will get twice the result with half the effort, General."

Zhang Shanchao's generals knew that the soldiers were tired and hurriedly suggested.

"Presumptuous, am I the vanguard general or you?"

Zhang Shanchao stared at the general with an unkind expression.

"Well, of course you are the vanguard general."

"Then why don't you hurry up and send the order to attack the mountain?"

"No, I will take your orders!"

Seeing that Zhang Shanchao was on the verge of going berserk, his generals did not dare to persuade him any more and hurriedly accepted the order and left.

"Kill!"

Suddenly, there were shouts of killing, and the 200,000-strong army dragged their exhausted bodies and braced themselves to attack Gucang Mountain.

...

On the mountain, Cheng Pu couldn't help laughing when he saw this scene.

"The enemy general is a fool!"

"What did the general say?"

Cheng Pu's general is unknown.

"Look at the enemy soldiers, all of them are pale-faced and unstable. They are obviously extremely tired. Attacking a mountain in this state is nothing to be afraid of!"
