There were not many people left behind Yang Zhentian. The King of Xiangyang who had taken over everything before the war and had an arrogant tone ran away.
Yes, he ran away!
According to the original plan, the King of Xiangyang guarded the first line of defense at Yingzui Cliff.
He felt that since Yang Zhentian could defend the poor place at Wangfuling Ridge for several months, and he had 1.6 million elite soldiers, relying on the huge pass of Yingzui Cliff, it shouldn't be a problem to hold on for a day or two.
As a result, after the six armies launched a fierce offensive on Yingzui Cliff last night, King Xiangyang ran away.
As soon as the coach ran away, the 1.6 million army under his control lost its backbone. Some people chose to fight to the death, while others chose to escape. Yang Zhentian lost the involvement on both sides of the valley, and the army was defeated like a mountain. Yang Zhentian integrated the forces of King Xiangyang
Those soldiers who fought to the end fought all night long to get back to the south gate of Eagle Beak Cliff, but the reinforcements were not enough, and the fortifications on both sides of the valley gradually fell into the hands of the skeleton army, resulting in battlefield defeats and damage.
More than a million people were killed, but they still couldn't get it back.
At this moment, there were less than 8,000 people behind Yang Zhentian. Although they were frightened, they did not retreat. They held halberds and knives tightly in their hands, blocking the canyon and watching the most terrifying of the six legions of the heavens approaching rapidly.
Legion of giants.
Yang Zhentian said hoarsely: "Have the reinforcements from King Zhao Xun of Xiangyang arrived?"
A lieutenant next to him who was covered in blood shook his head and said, "No."
Yang Zhentian cursed a few times.
If King Xiangyang hadn't escaped before the battle and caused chaos in the army, how could the fortifications on both sides of the valley easily fall into the hands of the Skeleton Legion?
This trumpet mouth defense line was built by gathering all the human, material and financial resources in the world, and many cultivators even participated in its construction.
The impregnable defense line was completely broken by the enemy overnight, and the culprit was because King Xiangyang abandoned his position.
If he fought to the end, with his 1.6 million elite men guarding the defenses on both sides, he would not have been defeated so miserably.
Originally, we could only rely on the defenses on both sides to kill a large number of enemy forces. Now that the defenses are broken, the pressure on Zhao Shiqu in Yingbelly Mountain will double.
At this time, several people flew in the air from the south, led by Gu Yuqi.
Gu Yuqi did not participate in the decisive battle in the southern part of Qixing Mountain. He was the commander-in-chief of the six armies and only cared about the battle in front of him.
As for the news that the Storm Legion was almost completely destroyed, he had received the news, but for the sake of the main force of the six legions, he could no longer care about remembering the six-legged beast riders who died in the battle.
The most urgent task at hand is to quickly occupy Eagle Beak Cliff before the main force of the human cavalry returns to support, otherwise it will be over.
He looked at Yang Zhentian at his feet and the eight thousand remaining soldiers behind him, and said slowly: "Yang Zhentian, you are a man, I respect you, your war is over, put down your weapons." Yang Zhentian laughed loudly, word for word.
He said: "I, the Yang family, are full of loyal people. We have guarded the border areas for the imperial court for generations. The Yang family has no other choice but to die in battle. If you want to cross this canyon, just step over my body.
!”
Gu Yuqi sighed softly.
He really respected Yang Zhentian. If Yang Zhentian hadn't been guarding Wangfu Ridge, the Heavenly Army wouldn't have been blocked outside Yingzui Cliff for a whole winter.
At this moment, Yang Zhentian chose the last glory of a soldier. Gu Yuqi didn't say anything and flew away with a few of his men. A moment later, the giant army in the south of the canyon began to advance northward with large shields.
Yang Zhentian had been injured in the battle yesterday and was very weak now. He walked up to a drummer, took the drumstick, and slowly beat the drum.
"Dong dong dong..."
"Qin Shi... Mingyue Han Shiguan!"
"Dong dong dong..."
"Thousands of miles...the Long March has not yet been repaid!"
"Dong dong dong..."
"But... the Flying General of Dragon City is here!"
"Dong dong dong!"
"If you don't teach... Huma Du Yinshan!"
After the last sentence was sung, Yang Zhentian's voice spread out through the sound transmission stone.
This sound transmission stone is very useful, and his voice can be heard dozens of miles away.
Just listen to Yang Zhentian's desolate and solemn voice: "Loyal bones are buried everywhere in the mountains, why should they be wrapped in horse leather? Sons, we are soldiers, and dying on the battlefield is the last fate of each of our soldiers! Kill!"
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
Eight thousand soldiers stood up and shouted, looking extremely tragic.
Gu Yuqi, who was in the air, suddenly turned his head and looked at the eight thousand human soldiers.
While chanting loudly, these soldiers took off their heavy armor, and then, under the leadership of Yang Zhentian, rushed towards countless giant warriors.
Yang Zhentian's voice also reached Eagle Belly Mountain, twenty miles away.
Zhao Shiqu, holding a long sword and sitting on a chair next to the coffin, closed his eyes in pain.
He knew that Yang Zhentian, his most capable man, died for his country.
A fat middle-aged man wearing golden armor was pushed in front of Zhao Shiqu with his hands tied up. Behind him were hundreds of generals in armor, who were also tied up with their hands tied up.
This fat man is Zhao Xun, the King of Xiangyang, who is now your Majesty’s compatriot younger brother.
Zhao Xun was furious and said: "Zhao Shiqu, what are you doing! I am your uncle! Let me go quickly!"
Hearing the sound, Zhao Shiqu slowly opened his eyes and looked at Zhao Xun who was struggling.
He stood up slowly, stared at the blood-red eyes, pointed to the south, and said word by word: "Yang Zhentian is dead! Yingzui Cliff is lost! Everything is because you escaped before the battle!"
Zhao Xun still shouted arrogantly: "I am your uncle, how can you talk to me? Who said I escaped in the middle of the battle? Last night, I also fought to the end, but it was difficult to resist, so I just retreated! Hurry up, put it down
I let go!"
Zhao Shiqu ignored him, slowly drew out his sword, and said: "The two armies are fighting, and those who escape before the battle, behead them!"
The hundred or so generals behind Zhao Xun immediately knelt down and begged for mercy, saying that they wanted to atone for their sins and were willing to lead people to regain the lost direction of Yingzui Cliff.
Zhao Xun was startled and said: "You...what do you want to do? Do you dare to kill me? Even if I lose the defense line of Yingzui Cliff, only Your Majesty can punish me. Who do you think you are?"
Zhao Shiqu said coldly: "I am the general manager of the march in Jiannan Road. I am the highest commander here. Even if you are my uncle, you are still under my control! Come here! Behead these people who escape from the battle on the spot!"
The broadsword was raised, his head flew around, and the blood spurted out from Zhao Xun's neck, staining Zhao Shiqu's armor in front of him.
More than a hundred generals and lieutenants were all killed in the blink of an eye, with not a single one left.
Zhao Xun's head fell at Zhao Shiqu's feet. His eyes were wide open, as if he didn't believe that Zhao Shiqu had actually chopped him down.
It is not a big problem for hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of soldiers to escape, but once the leading general escapes before the battle, the problem becomes serious. Zhao Shiqu does not want to kill his own people, but in the current situation, if he does not execute him with thunderous means
The consequences for these generals who escaped before the battle were disastrous.
