The huge city gate of Yumen Pass that had stood for nearly a thousand years was making a loud collapse sound, and the soldiers at the gate were buried underground together. The ferocious beasts from outside rushed into Yumen Pass, and the defenders in the city took out logs and threw them.
On the street, in an attempt to use these things to hinder the pace of the ferocious beasts, a large number of corpses of soldiers were faintly seen in these buildings.
There are still many wounds on the bodies of the defenders. These wounds are not caused by ferocious beasts, but by human beings' own swords.
The guard was in the inner city, looking at the army of ferocious beasts that had rushed into the city. He had a white gauze tied around his chest. He took every precaution, but he still couldn't guard against the prairie people.
Because of his distrust of the Jiuyuan Army, he and his lieutenant took turns guarding the city gate to prevent the soldiers from Jiuyuan County from approaching.
After guarding for eight days, the 30,000-strong Great Wall Legion headquarters in the city suffered heavy losses in the continuous battles. The number of soldiers killed reached 12,000. There were some holes in the city walls everywhere. The soldiers were extremely tired. Even so,
They were still at the front, waiting for reinforcements to arrive.
Xuantian Sect's reinforcements will arrive this afternoon at most. Just last night, five thousand people from the Jiuyuan Army rushed to the city gate. At that time, the guard heard the sound of digging coming from the ground. Among these ferocious beasts, there were ferocious beasts that could dig earth.
beast, he was trying to think of a way to deal with the ferocious beast digging in the earth.
Five thousand captains from Jiuyuan County came forward and were hit by a long arrow. Fortunately, he was wearing a breast shield on his chest at that time. The breast shield blocked the long arrow, otherwise he would have turned into a cold corpse by now.
Five thousand people rushed to the city gate. During the fierce battle between the two sides, the sound of chirping came from the ground. The ferocious beast digging the earth was digging hard. If there was no response, there would be problems at the city gate, but those grassland people were crazy.
Attack them in the same way.
When the battle ended, the city wall had become shorter, and the underground space beneath the city gate had been hollowed out by the ferocious beast, which was still expanding the underground space.
Unstoppable, the Great Wall Legion lost more than a thousand people in the melee. This was a disaster for the Great Wall Legion, which was originally not very large in number. There were endless ferocious beasts outside the city, and traitors appeared among the army inside the city. At this time, the city
The door is about to be lost again, what can they do to resist the attack of the ferocious beast?
The city gate collapsed, and a huge gap of just over 100 meters appeared in the long city wall. The ferocious beasts rushed in, hit the tall buildings, and trampled under their feet the war machines that had killed countless ferocious beasts.
"General, we can't hold on anymore!" the deputy general who was missing an arm stood next to the guard and said: "There are still some soldiers on the walls on both sides at this time. My subordinates have asked them to retreat. Yumen Pass is lost from our hands. If it happens again
Let them die here, and my subordinates will no longer have the face to face the elders in their hometown!"
There was a sad look on the deputy general's pale face, and the guard patted him on the shoulder: "The fault of this battle is mine, not yours, and I will bear the responsibility. While the buildings in the city can still block it for a while,
Take the people and retreat!"
The guard looked towards the city gate: "What the grassland people want is to let these ferocious beasts rush to the northwest land, so that the northwest land has no time to take care of their grassland, and relieve the pressure on the grassland!
Send someone to tell Xiliang City that the ferocious beast has entered the pass, and the soldiers of the Great Wall Legion will retreat to the enemy Jiuyuan County!"
Jiuyuan County is the most important place in the northwest. The retreat direction of the Great Wall Legion's army is to retreat to Jiuyuan County to protect Jiuyuan County and block the attacks of vicious beasts.
They have lost confidence in the soldiers in Jiujun County, and the grassland people in Jiuyuan County should also be cleaned up. There must be no mistakes there.
"I'll send someone there right now!" The deputy general heard the general's words and immediately understood the general's intention. He wanted Xiliang City's army to enter the pass. The first to attack these ferocious beasts were the soldiers of Xiliang City.
The soldiers of Xiliang City have very strong combat effectiveness, no less powerful than the ordinary troops of their Great Wall Legion!
The guard said: "Send fifty scouts who are familiar with the terrain of that area. If Xiliang City is to deal with the ferocious beasts, then serve Xiliang City with all your heart and stay there. If Xiliang City is there,
If there is no action, just observe the actions of Xiliang City from outside the pass!"
"yes!"
Boom!
Huge beasts rushed into the city and attacked the city wall of Yumen Pass. The damage to the city gate caused a big hole in the formation, giving these giant beasts a chance.
When Yumen Pass was built, I also thought about digging for ferocious beasts, and a layer of solid stones was laid underground. However, those stones had been dug up by the ferocious beasts in the years of battles.
The claws of many ferocious beasts cut through stone as easily as they cut through meat with knives.
One section of the city wall fell down after another. When the White Wolf King outside the city saw this scene, his eyes revealed that he couldn't believe that this fortress that had been attacked by the ferocious beasts for thousands of years was just attacked by them.
?
In other words, can they return to the snow forest?
In the forest, a huge white eagle spreads its wings and flies deep into the forest. Is it when these ferocious beasts kill Yumenguan that the city is destroyed?
The snow forest is nice, but it's extremely cold, and there are only so many resources. There are ferocious beasts everywhere. In order to survive, a large number of ferocious beasts will be driven out every once in a while to attack the human fortress.
I didn't expect that these guys could really knock down this fortress. It seemed that Huang Duo had to drive out some ferocious beasts. Anyway, those guys left in the snow forest were just food.
The Yumenguan army retreated very quickly. The sleds made of bamboo could slide quickly on the snow. They didn't bring many things, so they didn't have much time!
There are still more than 40,000 soldiers from Jiuyuan County, and less than 10,000 people died in the battle with the ferocious beasts. Five thousand people attacked the Great Wall Legion without permission, and the Yumenguan Fortress was breached by the ferocious beasts.
Thinking about those ferocious beasts, they didn't dare to fight those beasts on the city wall. Now they are likely to encounter them on the plains. These soldiers are closely following the Great Wall Legion. If the beasts catch up, they will
The only people we can count on are those from the Great Wall Legion.

Customs
In Xiliang City, ferocious beasts are attacking Yumen Pass in the north. Protected by a tall mountain range and a huge lake, Xiliang City is quiet. Everyone is enjoying a rare break this year.
Drinking some wine, eating barbecue and delicious Juhu fish, isn't this the life they want most?
Li Xiang's wedding added a bit of red to the snow-covered Xiliang City. Senior personnel from various garrisons gathered in Xiliang City. Zhang Tiezhu, Heiyun, Luo Mu, Aza, etc.
People who had shed blood also came to this city, a city they had only seen in intelligence but had never been to.
Li Xiang also wanted to call Taoist Qingsong, but the Taoist had never come out since his last retreat.
The tall city walls, mysterious defensive buildings, and the tall Xiliang people exuding a strong aura made several people more convinced that following Li Xiang, they would definitely be able to do something great, and after the beginning of spring, they would eat up several forces in the south, and there would be no one outside the Northwest Pass. Are they the only force in Xiliang?
The heavy snow fell one after another. In the heavy snow, Li Xiang got married in Xiliang City. He had a home of his own. He separated from the Li family of the generals and became the Li family of Xiliang from then on.
The generals of Xiliang gulped down the fine wine brewed by Hantou. Anyone who was not a garrison could drink it. In Beixuan City, Nanli City, Qingzhu Village and other places, everyone got wine, meat and food.
The city of Xiliang fell into a state of celebration.
Under such a situation, fifty people came to the edge of Xuanshui Lake, found Xiliang Water Village, and then followed the navy troops to Xiliang City.
For three days in a row, the entire Xiliang territory was in a state of carnival. Li Shui personally led a man on a war horse to Xiliang City. The road leading to Xiliang City was paved with a layer of cold rice straw to facilitate carriages. .
Li Xiang was sitting in the hall of the city lord's palace. After a year, he had grown a lot of flesh on his body, and his beard began to be trimmed, which was no longer the messy look it had before. His hair was also fixed with a hairpin, and he became calmer.
Li Shui walked quickly to the hall with a person. Li Shui retreated halfway, with black blood on his face and a mess on his body. He saluted Li Xiang: "Great Wall Legion Scout Camp, Fifth Squadron Captain Wang Tianlong , I’ve met City Lord Li!”
"The letter said that Yumen Pass has fallen, is it true?" Li Xiang had also received a letter from the previous person, otherwise he would not have chosen to see this person.
Wang Tianlong looked neither sad nor happy: "Four days ago in the morning of Yumen Pass, the gate of the city was attacked by ferocious beasts. The general had no choice but to retreat, and the army headed for Jiuyuan County!"
"There are reinforcements from Jiuyuan County in Yumen Pass, plus soldiers from the Great Wall Legion. How can it be defeated in just a few days?"
"Prairie people!" Wang Tianlong gritted his teeth and said: "Prairie people were afraid that the northwest army would launch an attack on the grassland from the northwest, so they asked the people from the Jiuyuan County army who had been hiding for a long time to take them with them when the general was guarding the city gate. The army sneaked up on the general and his party, making it impossible for the general to deal with it in time. He was digging out the ferocious beasts under the city wall. Once the city gate was broken, the Yumen Pass formation was shattered, and the ferocious beasts rushed up. Our army was unable to stop those ferocious beasts!"
"Then what do you want to do here?" Li Xiang leaned on the chair.
Wang Tianlong looked at Li Xiang and said: "The general has taken away all the soldiers in the passes. At this time, there are no people in the passes where the Great Wall Legion is stationed. It is now a good time for City Lord Li to enter the passes in a large scale!"
Li Xiang felt a little funny when he heard this: "Haven't you always prevented us from entering the pass? Why are you letting me enter the pass now? Let me think about it.
It must be because of the ferocious beast!"
Zhang Qingyun on the side said: "My lord, entering the pass now is not a good choice. There are ferocious beasts everywhere in the pass at this time. If our army goes in, we will definitely confront the ferocious beasts!"
Wang Tianlong looked at Zhang Qingyun with a paralyzed face: "If it weren't for the monsters, you would have to wait a few more years to enter the pass!"
"Then just wait a few more years. I have plenty of time in Xiliang!" Zhang Qingyun bowed to Li Xiangxing and said: "My lord, the northwest land is full of ferocious beasts at this time. The northwest army wants to exterminate all these ferocious beasts, so we have to say less. It will take a few years, but our army should wait until the ferocious beast is young before entering, so as not to lose too many brothers!"
Wang Tianlong took out a blood-stained animal skin and said in a deep voice: "This animal skin was sent by my brother from outside Yumen Pass. After the ferocious beasts in the snow forest broke through Yumen Pass, the ferocious beasts in the forest were extremely violent. It is very likely that Shinichi
A wave of ferocious beasts is coming.
In the past, all they wanted was to break the Yumen Pass, but now they want the northwest land and turn it into a hunting ground for ferocious beasts!"
The northwest land is a wilderness, surrounded by high mountains. If ferocious beasts come charging, there will be no danger to defend it.
Li Xiang frowned. The northwest land is a very good treasure land. Of course, for him, these are the two best places in the entire northwest land. One is Jiuyuan County and the other is Xuantian Mountain, which is occupied by Xuantian Sect.
Xuantian Mountain connects the Guanwai Mountains, the Extreme North Mountains, and the Hengduan Mountains that separate the grassland from the northwest. Three huge mountain ranges that stretch thousands of miles converge into Xuantian Mountain, making Xuantian Mountain full of vitality and making it a first-class cultivation treasure land in the world.
In addition to these two places, there are some source mines and a small number of specialties that are only found in the northwest. They are not very good, but they can feed a lot of people. The entire northwest can be divided into six counties, but it can really
Only one county was established, and that was Jiuyuan County. The other places were composed of gathering points. In some places, there were hundreds of thousands, and in some places, there were only tens of thousands. The imperial court treated the northwest land more favorably, and there were no
Imposing too many taxes has made life much easier for people in the northwest than in the Central Plains.
The remaining places are just wasteland to others, but to Li Xiang, this is a treasure land. Those places are basically flat land. If they are all used for farming, they can support at least tens of millions of Xiliang soldiers.
And it’s not as cold over there as it is here!
But if it is really occupied by ferocious beasts, with the current combat power of Xiliang City, it will be difficult to drive these ferocious beasts out.
"Are you telling the truth?" Li Xiang confirmed again.
"I, Wang Tianlong, swear to the sky that if I tell a lie to City Lord Li, I will die without a burial place and no descendants!" Afraid that Li Xiang would not believe it, Wang Tianlong issued the most vicious oath. Now the Great Wall Legion is really
If a force needs to enter the northwest land to help them share some of the burden, Xiliang City is a good candidate. Xiliang City can share a lot of burdens when it enters the northwest land, especially in the area near the pass.
In this area close to the Guanwai, due to the northwest Guanwai, a large number of business people have gathered in this area, and three cities and several small towns have also been formed. The population of each city has reached more than 100,000. The town
The total population is tens of thousands.
These are all living people, and the Great Wall Legion can no longer take care of them. Throwing these people to Xiliang City is also a good choice.
When Li Xiang thought about the consequences of ferocious beasts raging across the northwest, the first thing that came to his mind was gold and silver!
The ferocious beasts are likely to cut them off from outside caravans. Currently, the gold and silver in Xiliang City come from trade, and they do not have their own gold mines.
Troops must be sent!
Gold and silver are related to the transfer of soldiers in Xiliang City. There is not much gold and silver in the treasury now!
