Late at night, the Dongwang Army and the Shenwu Army fought on the plain.
The Shenwu Army was defeated and retreated to Lumen Canyon.
The Dongwang Army was unparalleled in bravery, chasing the enemy for hundreds of miles and entering Lumen Pass.
Lumen Pass was occupied by the Dongwang Army, but the Eighth Generals were dissatisfied with the results of the battle and decided to go all out to cross the Lumen Gorge, annihilate the Shenwu Army, and advance into the hinterland of Daqian ahead of the other three kings.
What General Eighth did not expect was that shortly after his troops entered Lumen Gorge, countless boulders fell overhead, blocking the way back.
The 5,000 Dongwang troops trapped in Lumen Gorge had their retreat blocked and could only press forward.
When they were about to step out of Lumen Gorge, another rockfall occurred in front of them, blocking the road ahead.
Immediately afterwards, countless burning fire barrels fell from the mountains on both sides of the canyon, trapping the tens of thousands of troops trapped in the Lumen Canyon to death.
This burning battle was recorded in later history books as "The Burning of Lumen Gorge".
at night,
The Eighth General looked at the raging flames of war burning in the canyon, and the smell of barbecue carried along the hot wind to the Lumen Pass, and he was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat.
Although he clamored to make a big move, he was still cautious and sent 5,000 elite soldiers in to explore the way.
If the killing is successful, the merit will be his.
Even if they don't succeed, this wave is not a loss. It's only a small part of his 50,000-strong army with only 5,000 people.
In the end, the killing was not successful.
The bastard general stationed in the east, who had five thousand elite soldiers killed in a trap, was so angry that he dragged back the military advisor who had not yet had time to execute him, whipped him a hundred times, and angrily complained about why the military advisor didn't tell him earlier.
After venting his anger, the Eighth General knew that there was an ambush on the mountain and that the canyon was impassable, so he ordered to climb the mountain.
He angrily led the remaining troops, attacked both sides of the canyon, and hurried up the mountain.
What General Eighth never expected was that overnight, the road up the mountain would be filled with countless traps, pits, spikes, shuttles, hunting nets, and mines.
All night long, the two mountains were rumbling with explosions, the two mountains were shaking, and the soldiers were screaming.
…
until dawn,
The Eighth General was covered in blood, had a broken arm, and returned in embarrassment.
overnight,
Of the 50,000-strong army that attacked Lumen Pass, only less than 10,000 were left.
There are corpses everywhere in the canyon and in the mountains.
Afterwards, the Eighth General fell seriously ill and decided to retire early.
Then, Jian Nanchun and Xia Xiaoman, relying on their golden elixir cultivation, cleared the rockfall in the canyon, allowing the nearly undamaged 20,000 Shenwu army to recharge their batteries. Taking advantage of the weakening momentum of the Eastern King's army in Lumen Pass, they counterattacked at Lumen Pass and captured Lu. The gate was recaptured again.
At this point, Lumen Pass changed owners for just one night.
Although it is said to be broken, it is not completely broken.
This night was called the "Bloody Battle at Lumen Pass" in later generations.
Later, rumors spread among the people that the bloody battle at Lumen Pass was possible because of the great contribution made by Princess Dagang.
She first disguised herself as a man and stayed in the army. Then at a critical moment, she proposed a battle strategy and asked the Shenwu Army to pretend to be defeated. She repeatedly did sit-ups, retreated and advanced, and finally won this crucial battle.
Later, the king in the East heard that a mere Lumen Pass had destroyed nearly 50,000 of his troops. He was so angry that he vomited a mouthful of blood, but he did not dare to attack Lumen Pass again.
The king of Zhidong gave up the attack on Lumen Pass, so he could only divide his troops into two groups, go north to fight against the king of Zhengbei, and go south to fight against the king of Zhennan.
However, neither the King of Zhengbei nor the King of Zhennan were easy to bully. When they heard that the King of Zhengdong suffered a defeat at Lumen Pass, they directly took advantage of the situation and bullied them, causing the two armies of the King of Zhengdong to retreat steadily and return to the eastern region.
.
…
The eighteenth year of Jishengli.
Mid-October.
The weather is dry.
After the Battle of Lumen Pass, Xia Xiaoman's prestige in the army greatly increased, and she no longer pretended to be a female soldier.
She traveled to various places, and as the eldest princess, after the Battle of Lumen Pass, she fought with the armies of King Zhengbei and King Pingxi outside the pass.
in the secular world,
The reputation of the "Elder Princess General" has gradually surpassed that of the elderly Shenwu General.
Especially in the Shenwu Army, under the instruction of the old general Shenwu, the eldest princess was given the prestigious title of "General Zhenping", which is very illustrious.
No one in the Shenwu Army was dissatisfied with General Zhenping.
Battle of Liusha River,
The fierce battle at Tianmen Mountain,
Great victory at Fengshan Pass,
Night attack on snowy mountains,
In battle after battle, General Zhenping came up with strategies. In addition, she was originally a golden elixir monk, and she was dismissed immediately without practicing martial ethics. After the queen stationed in the east, the king of Pingxi, the king of Zhennan, and the king of Zhengbei, they successively regarded "General Zhenping" as his wife.
A thorn in the flesh, a thorn in the flesh.
But Xia Xiaoman's identity is too complicated. Although she is a golden elixir monk, she is also the orphan of Emperor Xia Yuan and the eldest princess of Daqian. She participated in the war and acted with emotion and reason.
November.
Xia Xiaoman was wearing light armor, lighting an oil lamp in the military camp, and looking at the strategic map at his desk.
Her eyebrows were furrowed tightly, and under the flickering light, her once tender face had experienced the baptism of blood and fire, and gradually gained a bit of a chilling air, showing no anger and dignity, which made people awe-inspiring.
Xia Xiaoman's fingertips gently stroked the rough texture on the strategic map.
At this time,
Her long sleeves were rolled up inadvertently, revealing the wooden bracelet on her wrist.
A trace of fluctuation flashed across Xia Xiaoman's indifferent and calm eyes, and his fingertips stopped somewhere, dazed.
"Senior brother, where are you now?"
…
Ever since Xia Xiaoman followed General Shenwu to fight everywhere.
It has been more than two months now.
She has experienced a hot summer and entered a cold autumn.
In the past two months, Senior Brother Lin Yi has never contacted Xia Xiaoman.
Occasionally, Xia Xiaoman could hear a few words about Senior Brother Lin Yi from Senior Brother Jian.
Whenever Xia Xiaoman asked, Jian Nanchun just shook his head and said, Lin Yi was busy.
"What are you busy with! Junior sister doesn't want it anymore!"
Inadvertently thinking of the missing Lin Yi, Xia Xiaoman became angry, exhaled, and blew out the candle on the table.
"Alas~~"
Xia Xiaoman sighed again, pointed his two fingers together at the candlestick, and lit the candle again.
"call--"
suddenly,
Inside the tent, the candle flickered for a while and then suddenly went out.
This time it wasn't her fault.
Xia Xiaoman frowned, raised his head, and released his spiritual consciousness. He was suddenly surprised and happy, and moved outside the account.
outside the tent,
An old man with a slightly bulging belly looked at Xia Xiaoman who walked out of the tent with deep eyes.
"Disciple Xia Xiaoman, I have met my master. I haven't seen you for a long time and I miss you very much."
The visitor turned out to be the elder of Discipline Mountain, Bi Tiexin.
It's been half a year since we said goodbye that day.
Bi Tiexin stood in front of Xia Xiaoman with his hands behind his back.
Outside General Zhenping's military tent, the soldiers of the Shenwu Army patrolled back and forth, but they turned a blind eye to the fat veteran who broke into the military camp.
Xia Xiaoman also understands this simple blinding method, and there is nothing surprising about it. Xia Xiaoman knelt on one knee on the ground, curled his hands into fists, cupped his eyebrows, and performed the master-disciple ceremony. She said it nicely, but
In fact, she felt a little uneasy in her heart. She suddenly remembered that she had sneaked out of Tianjian Sect when she first left.
Could this be a settlement of accounts?
Isn’t it the end of autumn yet?
Just when Xia Xiaoman was feeling uneasy,
Bi Tiexin stared deeply at Xia Xiaoman. After his eyes flickered, he suddenly sighed: "You have grown up."
Xia Xiaoman lowered his head and said nothing.
After two months of war, Xia Xiaoman is no longer the naive and ignorant girl she was before.
Obviously, there is something in the master's words.
Sure enough, before Xia Xiaoman could respond, Bi Tiexin sighed and coldly snorted: "You've had enough trouble."
Xia Xiaoman's heart skipped a beat.
But she raised her head and said harshly: "This disciple is ignorant and doesn't know what Master means."
Bi Tiexin said: "As a golden elixir monk of the Tianjian Sect, you ignore the rules within the sect, do not abide by the restrictions of the Xuanmen, your hands are stained with blood, stained with karma, and you slaughter mortals. Are you really not afraid of tribulations in the future and karmic retribution?"
Bi Tiexin is indeed here for this!
When Xia Xiaoman heard this, she understood in her heart, but she did not get up and hit her head on the ground.
When she raised her head again, even though she was protected by true energy, blood was drawn from her forehead because of too much force.
This "bang" was too sudden. Just when Bi Tiexin raised his finger and was about to say something, he was interrupted and was stunned.
Sure enough, Senior Brother Lin Yi was right. If you want to interrupt the opponent's rhythm, you have to take it unexpectedly and make a sudden attack.
Xia Xiaoman silently recited the teachings of Senior Brother Lin Yi in his heart, with a tragic look on his face: "Although this disciple is a disciple of the Tianjian Sect, he is also the eldest princess of the Daqian Dynasty! Xiaoman's body is filled with the hot blood of the Xia family.
!Nowadays, the Xia family is in danger. If Xiaoman still does not take action at this moment, the Xia family will be destroyed one day. Xiaoman will never forgive himself for the rest of his life. He will be riddled with inner demons and his body will be destroyed! "
Bi Tiexin angrily rebuked: "Confusion! Obsession! Stupid! If the golden elixir monk's longevity is not to die young, it will last for hundreds of years, why should he be obsessed with whose country is it? No matter this worldly country belongs to the Xia family, not the Xia family
No matter what, starting a war in Dongsheng Divine Continent is a huge karmic retribution. One day, you will reap the consequences and you will not end well!"
"Whether you're alive or dead!" The blood on his forehead slid down Xia Xiaoman's brows and dripped from his pointed chin, making Xia Xiaoman's delicate facial features look particularly ferocious at this moment: "Xia Xiaoman's intention
It’s been decided, I hope the master will show his noble hand and don’t stop me! If the master insists on stopping Xiaoman and wants to bring the disciple back to the master, then..."
Xia Xiaoman raised a palm, her fingers were filled with light, and her true energy was condensed. She spoke with sonorous words, "Xia Xiaoman would rather destroy his golden elixir, throw away his lifelong cultivation, and no longer be a Heavenly Swordsman"
The monk in the sect should be an ordinary princess of Daqian! But the four years in the sect were just a dream in spring and autumn!"
As he said this, Xia Xiaoman seemed to mean it. He clenched his fingers into a fist and punched his lower abdomen.
