Chapter 154: New Turn in Zhenbei Pass
The sun rises and sets, and night falls... In
the early morning of the next day, the team arrived at Beining City. Except for Zhou Hen, everyone changed to two new demon-blood horses and only rested for a quarter of an hour. , set off again.
This road was obviously far away from Dahe's defense line, but they encountered sporadic demon clans, all of which were casually killed by Zhou Hen.
Lu Biao reminded everyone that under normal circumstances, you should not encounter monsters here, which means that there are more monsters going south this time than expected.
At noon, the team arrived at Zhenbeiguan.
The group went to the north gate of Zhenbeiguan, stamped the customs seal, and rested temporarily.
Li Qingxian was sitting on the chair. When he saw Zhou Hen taking out the communication charm plate and putting it back, he secretly warned Li Qingxian.
A quarter of an hour later, the team led the horses towards the north gate, and a group of soldiers suddenly rushed in.
The leader was a giant man with a black beard and a copper-like face. He was wearing a genuine fifth-grade elephant-headed copper breastplate. He was actually two times bigger than the tall Zhou Hen. His shoulders were extremely broad, his back was slightly arched, and his hair was booming. Fluffy, almost like a giant bear.
The giant man held up two palm-sized red copper orders and said in a rough voice: "According to the order of the General Wang of the River Guard Army, Beichen City is in urgent need of reinforcements, and we are specially dispatched to Beichen City." Li Qingxian looked at Zhou
Hen , Zhou Hen remained motionless.
Lu Biao hurriedly raised his hands and said, "I have seen this sir. I am serving as the former military governor..." "
Are you delivering a message to Huaimu County?" the giant man said impatiently.
"Yes."
A seventh-grade civil servant walked out from beside the giant man, raised his hand to Lu Biao, and said: "Lu Huaian, the judge of the Tianfeng Army in Huaimu County, has met everyone in the Governor's Mansion. The general knows that military intelligence has arrived. To ensure safety, please ask me Come to check and convey it in advance with the messenger plate."
Lu Huaian said, taking out a set of messenger plates and a Tianfeng Army General Order from the package.
Lu Biao and the others looked at each other, then looked at Li Qingxian, sighed softly, muttered "Gods fight", and obediently handed over the letter in his arms.
The tall and powerful man said: "The matter is over. Please follow me to Beichen City."
Lu Biao looked at the general Wang Ling, with a look of emotion on his face, he suddenly raised his chest and raised his head, and said loudly: "Your Excellency, General Wang Ling!"
"Guard across the river?" The giant man looked Lu Biao up and down.
"Hold the river!" Lu Biao and three of his brothers shouted in unison.
The giant man showed some approval and looked at Zhou Hen: "Crazy Zhou, are you still pretending not to know me?" "Where is
your brother?"
A strange smile appeared on the corner of the giant man's mouth and said: "Third grade."
Zhou Hen's face darkened. He snorted coldly and said nothing.
Li Qingxian smiled and cupped his hands and said, "Li Qingxian, may I ask the name of the general."
"River Guards Xiong Zhenghao." The giant man looked at Li Qingxian carefully.
"Hello, Uncle Xiong." Li Qingxian looked like a well-behaved and shy young man.
"My name is Uncle Xiong." Xiong Zhenghao said.
Li Qingxian was stunned for a moment and then said, "Hello, Uncle Xiong."
"Now go to Beichen City. Can you hold on?" Xiong Zhenghao looked at Li Qingxian.
"It's a joke."
"Yes, follow me back to the army to prepare and then set off." Xiong Zhenghao led everyone back to Zhenbeiguan.
On the way, Li Qingxian whispered a few words to Xiong Zhenghao. Xiong Zhenghao's eyes lit up, and the two left and returned two-quarters of an hour later.
Not long after, a group of more than a thousand light cavalry stepped out of Zhenbeiguan and ran towards the northeast.
On the way, Zhou Henchuan explained: "Master Zhou said that Tang Enxuan does not have the intention to kill you, at least not yet, but Huaimu County is beside the river and is more dangerous than Beichen City. Let you go back to Shendu now, It's also dangerous. Your Excellency, you might as well ask me to go to Beichen City, and when the war is over, we can return to the capital of God together. Listening to Your Majesty's wishes, I will take you to Prince Yuan's Mansion after returning to the capital to question Prince Yuan." "How is the battle in Beichen City?" Li Qingxian ask.
"It's much safer than Huaimu County. There are two adults taking turns to defend the city. The monsters can't attack. With us joining in, the monsters will inevitably retreat if they can't attack for a long time." Zhou Hen said.
Li Qingxian said: "Then I'm relieved. In fact, I'm not that afraid of monsters. I'm more worried about encountering something strange..."
Xiong Zhenghao in the front said loudly: "Please show your highlights. There are so many monsters recently, along the way. It's not peaceful. Even if we get to Beichen City, we may not be able to get in. Be prepared to return without success."
Zhou Hen said: "Now the demon clan in Beichen City is surrounded by three towers. We can easily get in."
"The demon clan's art of war. , more and more like humans..." Xiong Zhenghao sighed.
Everyone worked hard and drove for two days and two nights to kill seven groups of monsters. On the evening of May 22, they saw a small county town in the distance under the setting sun.
Everyone was in the south of the county, and they could only see the monster tribes in the east and west of the county, numbering tens of thousands, desperately attacking the city.
There was no sound in the south, and not a single demon clan was seen.
When the cavalry team approached, five or six thousand demon soldiers from the demon tribes on the east and west sides came towards them.
"Get ready to charge, damn it! Hold on to the river!" Xiong Zhenghao suddenly let out a roar, and his cavalrymen all yelled like crazy.
"Hold the river!"
The cavalrymen took out their bows and arrows and got ready.
Li Qingxian touched the Qiankun bracelet.
Ever since I experienced the Quiet Village, I felt the crisis that was stronger than death, and I kept making thunder talismans, accumulating thousands of them these days.
Including the various spiritual talismans that come with the Qiankun Bracelet, the total number of spiritual talismans on hand exceeds five thousand.
The two attacking demon soldiers joined together, and the south gate of Beichen City opened wide, and an infantry team of 500 people came out.
Li Qingxian looked from a distance and saw that the leader turned out to be an old friend.
Song Baige, the son of Song Yunjing, was the second best in the palace examination five years ago. When we observed mourning together half a year ago, he was only in the eighth rank. Now he is actually wearing green-bottomed mandarin duck bras and has been promoted to the seventh rank.
Song Baige used to be a typical scholar, wearing a green shirt and a fair face. Now he is dirty all over and his face is covered with light dust.
The two looked at each other from a distance and just nodded slightly.
The demon soldiers ignored the rear and just rushed over. The leaders were two tiger demons, more than three feet long, just like two colorful striped elephants.
The demon blood surged all over the tiger demon's body, condensing into a clearly visible stream of blood.
Xiong Zhenghao was experienced and said with just one glance: "Two fifth-grade tiger monsters, one for you and one for me, quickly kill them and disperse them before entering the city."
Zhou Hen nodded.
The two sides approached, and the cavalry fired two arrows in a row, then put on their long horses and prepared to charge.
Before charging, two figures jumped off their horses, transformed into two gusts of wind, flying sand and rocks, and rushed in front of the two tiger monsters in the blink of an eye.
The two fifth-grade tiger demons roared together, and their bodies suddenly swelled. Black tendons as thick as human arms protruded from the skin, twisted and intertwined, like armor under the skin.
Their two claws poked out, sharp and sharp, shining brightly and coldly.
Zhou Hen was short and stepped on the ground with his left foot. He heard a loud bang, the ground collapsed, like a spider web cracking, and dust flew up.
Zhou Hen's body flashed, and he suddenly disappeared on the spot, as if teleporting to the side of the tiger demon. He held a scimitar in both hands, and white sword energy spurted out for a few feet.
puff!
The fifth-grade tiger demon only moved half a step, the sword flashed, the tiger's head fell to the ground, and blood sprayed.
The demon soldiers were terrified. How could the fifth-grade tiger demon be killed with one move?
On the other side, Xiong Zhenghao wielded a huge black iron ax with red patterns and slashed at the giant tiger wildly. Every time the ax struck, a bloody air blade about ten feet long flew out. In the blink of an eye, he chopped more than a dozen axes in a row, and saw the bloody light blade all over the sky. Some of the flying shots landed on the tiger demon, and some rushed into the demon soldiers and flew a hundred feet away before stopping.
