Chapter 131 The Iron Horse
[Time flies, five years have passed. 】
[You are immersed in the art of separating mountains, and you often follow the army to patrol the enemy's situation. 】
[You are recognized by the army’s lieutenants because of your erudition and good conversation skills. 】
[Wu Calendar 1146, the seventeenth day of the lunar month. 】
[The demons are raising weapons again, and the empire is in chaos. 】
[Emperor Wu led his troops on an expedition, went to rescue everywhere, fought with the demon army, and slept in the open air, and did not return for several months. 】
[You and Ru will stay in the imperial capital, sit in the center, and control the overall situation. 】
[Wu Calendar 1146, the eighth day of the Liang lunar month. 】
[Contact was lost at a pass on the edge of the imperial state. Emperor Wu and other troops were also fighting with the demon army, making it difficult to move. 】
[Confucian generals are good at adhering to the law and need to stay in the imperial capital and take charge of the overall situation to prevent the demon army from diverting the tiger away from the mountain. 】
[You then led the troops out of the city and went to support them. 】
This year, the demon soldiers' offensive continued.
They did not swarm forward like before, but adopted a more flexible strategy, sending wave after wave of demon soldiers to continuously harass the major passes.
If Emperor Wu led his troops to help, they would abandon some of the demon soldiers and leave with their tails cut off.
If Emperor Wu did not lead his troops to help, they would attack frantically, trying to break through the pass.
For several months, Emperor Wu and the major military generals were exhausted from running around on various fronts to fight against the demon army.
Such a cycle finally allowed them to find an opportunity.
A pass was attacked and contact was lost.
Emperor Wu and other armies were also caught in the battle and could not support him in time.
At this time, Jiang He obviously could no longer stay in the imperial capital and just sit on the sidelines.
He took away some of the defenders of the imperial capital and rushed directly to the pass to support the battlefield.
Relying on internal and external attacks with the pass defenders.
Jiang He successfully defeated the demon soldiers, killed them all, and rescued the defenders of the pass.
However, the battle has just ended.
Before Jiang He could lead his troops to leave, he sensed that strong and disgraceful demonic aura emerged from the horizon.
He looked up and saw that in the direction of the demon, powerful demons rode on the fishy wind and black clouds, wrapped in countless demon soldiers, and attacked madly!
At the same time, there was also laughter from the sky.
"Hahaha! I've finally waited for you!"
"Heavenly Lord enlightens the wise!"
[You lead an army to rescue the defenders at the pass, but you encounter an ambush by a demon. 】
[Many demon commanders and demon soldiers came to attack, and the demon clouds covered the sky and made people change their color. 】
[In the face of the attack, you have no choice but to lead your troops and hide in the pass fortress, using the power of the terrain to block the attacks of the monsters. 】
[Fortunately, the pass is strong and the soldiers you bring to assist the defenders can hold it off for a while. 】
[Of course, there are many monster soldiers, their attacks are fierce, and they are not afraid of death. 】
[With the soldiers exhausted one by one, the fortress is about to fall. 】
Ega brushed his fingers over the words.
Seeing the overwhelming monsters, I felt familiar and unafraid of death.
He changed slightly and thought of a possibility.
"These monsters have been harassing the empire for nearly half a year, leaving countless monster corpses behind..."
"It's not all about me, is it?"
It's really possible.
A few years ago, outside Saizhou City, with the help of military power, he killed hundreds of thousands of demons and became famous all over the world.
My hero is my enemy's enemy.
With his performance like this, while he was praised by the people of Wu Dynasty, he was naturally regarded as a thorn in the side of the demons.
Considering this situation, Emperor Wu did not even dare to let Jiang He leave the imperial state until his strength improved.
He was afraid of being attacked by the demon army and dying young.
Who would have thought that the demon army would pay more attention to Jiang He than Emperor Wu and others expected!
They did not hesitate to spend nearly half a year laying out their plans and constantly harassing the imperial state, losing countless demon soldiers in the process.
Even the handsome and demon generals were killed by more than double digits.
They spent so much money just to hold back the Imperial State's troops.
Drag Jiang He out step by step!
Jiang He rubbed his brow.
He did not regret leaving the imperial capital.
According to the crazy targeting method of the demon clan.
Even if he has been hiding in the emperor without going out, they will probably try to lure the tiger away from the mountain. After the defenders are reduced, they will directly attack the imperial capital and try to kill him.
What he was thinking about was——
"The first thing I want to say is that I stepped forward too early this week, and Tianzun Kaihui's excuse was too high-profile."
"This is no longer a time of peace and prosperity, but a time of chaos."
"Maintaining a high profile can help me gain a lot of reputation, but it can also make me a lot of enemies and be targeted by my enemies."
"At the beginning of next week, I should only explain this matter to a small number of people, or just make another excuse."
There were too many demon clans involved in the ambush, including many demon commanders with superb strength.
Jiang He has only grown to second-rate strength now. Even if he invests the power of the remaining two personal interventions, it is impossible to deal with so many enemies at the same time.
Moreover, the defender of this pass will not [put all his efforts].
He only knows the defensive military method of [copper wall and iron wall].
Unless new reinforcements arrive before the iron wall is broken, it is basically impossible to survive...but the imperial defenders are hampered and cannot arrive in time.
Therefore, Ega was ready to intervene personally——
Even if you are going to die, you have to start the next simulation.
He also wants to burn his strength and make a last stand.
Instead of just waiting to die!
However, just as he stretched out his fingers to the pages of the book, intending to find an opportunity to intervene personally, he finally broke out.
The words derived from it made him slightly startled and his movements stagnated.
[The copper wall crumbled and the iron wall shattered. 】
[A yellow-haired demon handsome man appears proudly, laughing wantonly, saying that anyone who is enlightened and wise will be eaten alive by him. 】
[Before he finished speaking, a golden light flashed. 】
[The yellow-haired demon commander was pierced through the chest by a golden spear and nailed to the mountain wall. He died in shock. 】
This yellow-haired demon commander was the one who led the army to besiege Saizhou City.
It had murderous intent and fled in panic, all the way back to the Demon Dynasty.
Under its instigation and boasting, the person who was enlightened by Tianzun was regarded as the hope for the rise of the Wu Dynasty. He was the person favored by fate in this generation of human race...
The "Ega Threat Theory" has been advocated for several years.
Its statement successfully gained attention, and it personally started this war, intending to kill the enlightened person in the cradle!
However, when it thought it had a chance to win, it triumphantly appeared on the stage.
But a straight golden spear penetrated his chest.
As it was dying, it looked in the direction where the spear was coming from in astonishment——
But they saw a line of troops coming from a distance in the direction of the imperial capital.
The horses they were riding on were all wrapped in iron armor, and the cold light shone brightly as they ran, seeming to make the earth tremble, as if they were traveling at great speed.
The weapons in their hands are all covered with golden light, which seems to have the effect of destroying evil and attracting demons. When they wave it at will, they can easily release their breath and split the demon clouds.
The leader seemed to be a child of the Wu family. He was taller than ordinary people. He was also wearing armor and a helmet. He was riding a horse holding a giant golden spear.
The demon commander who was besieging the pass fortress suddenly shrank in his heart when he saw this scene.
"It's Jin Gejun!"
Before the sound could spread.
The leading general rode his horse into the air, like the tip of a sharp spear, and led his troops into the demon army!
As the general waved the golden spear, the demonic cloud almost collapsed upon contact, and a long and narrow crack was torn out.
A demon commander stood in front of the general and wanted to fight.
He was actually pierced by a spear and fell to the ground with a crash.
Thousands of iron horse cavalry followed closely behind, riding their horses through the air, rushing into the demon army, and killing them with a wave of their troops.
Wherever they passed, monsters fell like rain!
Just a few breaths of time passed.
This army of gold and iron horses actually killed the demon army!
Seeing this scene, the yellow-haired demon commander's eyes were full of fear and he died completely.
At the same time, the magical method it mastered lost its effect, and a famous demon soldier came back to his senses, his heart filled with fear.
After a moment.
The huge demon army collapsed and fled in all directions!
The Golden Spear General led his cavalry to pursue for a while and beheaded many enemy heads before riding back.
Arriving in front of the pass fortress, the weapons of this extremely powerful army dispersed the golden light, and the iron armor of the horses also disintegrated.
Only the general remained unchanged.
But he saw her throwing the golden spear behind her, turning over and dismounting, taking off her helmet, revealing an extremely delicate but heroic face.
When she came to Jiang He, she was half a head taller than the nearly three-meter-tall man, smiling freely.
"Ninth brother, long time no see."
[The sharpness of the golden sword penetrates the demon army, making the enemy frightened and flee in defeat. 】
[The general returned with his army, dismounted and took off his helmet. It was Wu Xuanying, the princess of the Wu family. 】
[He said that the war was tense and he was ordered by Emperor Wu to lead his army back to defend the imperial state. When he arrived at the imperial capital, he heard that communication had been lost at the pass, so he led his troops to come to the rescue. 】
[You feel happy and follow Wu Xuanying to reorganize the pass and strengthen the city defense. 】
Jiang He scanned the text with his fingers and breathed a sigh of relief.
He thought this wave was about to end, and made plans to start a second week.
Who would have thought that in a turn of events, Wu Xuanying would come out halfway and directly lead the cavalry to crush the demon army besieging the pass from the front!
While Jiang He was delighted, he also had some enlightenment.
Wu Xuanying is the child of the Wu family who is said by Emperor Wu Twelve to be extremely talented, and is known as the closest to the first generation Emperor Wu.
She is loved by countless soldiers and civilians, but is feared and hostile by the demon dynasty.
This one person alone is enough to become the demon dynasty's most serious concern.
At this time, another enlightened person jumped out...
Just one Wu Xuanying is enough to give Yaochao a headache. What if there are two?
"No wonder the Demon Dynasty wants to go to war in such a big way. It must kill me at the last moment. It turns out that the root cause is here."
The next chapter may be very late...if you can't make it in time...don't wait...
