Chapter 27: The First General in Three Hundred Years

"General Hong?" The father and son of the He family looked at each other in surprise. "General Hong died before Zhong Shengguang?"

"Zhong Shengguang has many brave generals under his command, but if we talk about who is the best on the battlefield, it must be General Hong." Speaking of the former famous general, Sun Fuping was also fascinated. "In the next twenty years, the iron army of Panlong City was almost all built by him. The suicide note of the Panlong City people I obtained mentioned that he used troops like a god, looked down on the battlefield, and took away most of Zhong Shengguang's pressure."

"Well, you know, Zhong Shengguang was already full of injuries after defending the city for twelve years, and it was difficult for him to hold on. The so-called 'general died in a hundred battles', it is far from enough to have a steel will, but also a steel body. . "

"I've heard of this. It is said that General Hong once led dozens of people to scout behind enemy lines, but unexpectedly ran into two thousand immortals, so he fought against two thousand with only a few dozen people. Most of his followers died in the battle, but General Hong became more and more courageous, and actually beat the enemy army and made them flee in panic, setting a legendary record of chasing two thousand with only a few people. I don't know if he entered the state of dominance..." Everyone frowned when they heard this word, and He Lingchuan coughed quickly, "Anyway, the reinforcements arrived in the end, and Panlong City won a great victory. There are too many legends about General Hong in Heishui City, and I can't finish telling you for three days and three nights."

It's exaggerated, but people like these exaggerated and passionate stories.

"That was the Battle of Heisong Pass." Sun Fuping nodded, "Do you know what year this happened?"

"Not sure." He Chunhua thought for a while, "It seems to be after the negotiations between Xiluo and Xianyou broke down and Panlong City was trapped again?"

"It was the autumn of the same year when Xianyou Kingdom re-declared war on Xiluo, Panlong Wasteland became an enclave again, and Panlong City became an isolated city again!" Sun Fuping said slowly, "The wording in the suicide note is also very interesting, saying that General Hong 'came out of nowhere' to resist the enemy tide from all directions and stabilize the morale of Panlong's army!"

When he sang there, He Lingchuan followed suit, acting as a listener obediently: "Yes. How could such a rare and powerful man, the savior of Panlong City, have no sense of existence before, and only 'came out of nowhere' at this time?"

As for the legend of General Hong, he was as familiar with it as the people of Heishui City, but legends are just legends. Under the premise of basic lack of information, who would really examine the historical details of more than a hundred years ago?

Nian Songyu continued: "The Grand Marshal read the historical materials and believed that Zhong Shengguang's reward to the gods came first, and General Hong's sudden appearance came later. The two must be connected."

He Chunhua: "So, in addition to the Dafang Pot, the help of the gods actually manifested in General Hong?"

This god was really generous to send two kinds of assistance at once.

"At least he is a very important part of it." Sun Fuping continued, "The guard's suicide note also mentioned that General Hong left Panlong City twice, once to Xiluo, and once to Xianyou Country! He regretted not going with them, otherwise he would have had the opportunity to stay in his hometown instead of being buried in the wilderness."

The father and son of the He family were very surprised: "General Hong actually returned to Xiluo?"

"Didn't they say that Panlong City was besieged and became an isolated city?" He Lingchuan sighed twice, "He could actually go to Xianyou... Well, what did he do in Xianyou?"

"That's not clear." Nian Songyu shrugged, "When he went, when he came back, and what he did specifically, the information we have didn't mention it."

"Even if he is the best general in the past three hundred years, his actions are beyond imagination. Perhaps he is an extremely powerful magician, and he has the luck of the entire Panlong Wasteland." Sun Fuping exhaled a long breath, "But I am more inclined to think that General Hong is no longer a human, but a demigod!"

"Demigod?" He Chunhua lost his voice, "You mean, the gods descended!"

"Yes, it is the gods descended!"

The always calm and steady He County Governor was surprised and confused at this time, but he quickly calmed down:

"There are only three cases of gods descending from ancient times to the present that can be traced in history." However, General Hong's record was too brilliant, and it seemed more acceptable to attribute it to gods. "It is said that the requirements for gods descending are extremely harsh, otherwise there would not be so few examples."

He Lingchuan immediately searched for the two words "god descending" in the memory of his original body, but after searching for a long time, he only found a vague impression. It is said that there are gods above our heads, but in fact, gods exist outside the sky and cannot descend directly into this world.

Although the original body cannot come, under extremely limited conditions, it can be "descended from the gods" to act in human bodies, which can also be regarded as entering the human world indirectly.

People who accept "descendance from the gods" are also called demigods.

"Well, gods usually do not interfere in human affairs, but there are always exceptions." Sun Fuping said, "In the spring of the 32nd year of defending Panlong City, Xianyou and Baling summoned five affiliated countries to jointly send troops, and asked the northern demon country for 600 demon soldiers, and launched an unprecedented attack on Panlong City. It is said that the fierce battle "made the mountain without a hill", and the entire Yindou Mountain on the north side was razed to the ground."

"In this battle, 600 demon soldiers and the two leading demon generals were all killed, and the five national masters sent by the seven countries died three and one was seriously injured; not to mention the casualties of the soldiers, according to It is said that in the five years after the war, the fertile land in Xianyou Country was "empty in eight out of ten", and there were not enough young and strong people to cultivate the land. "

Nian Songyu sighed: "As the victorious party in the attack, Xianyou Country could not bear such losses. A few years after the end of the Panlong City War, civil strife broke out and it split into several small countries, and the war has continued to this day."

"The suicide note mentioned that General Hong died in this great war. On the third day after his death, Panlong City was broken and Zhong Shengguang committed suicide."

"I see." He Chunhua couldn't help but sigh, "What a pity."

It's a pity that hundreds of thousands of loyal people were buried in the Panlong Desert, but they were unable to change their fate.

"It's not only a pity, but also terrible." He Lingchuan also sighed, "The army that the seven countries almost couldn't defeat has become the heroic spirit we have to deal with. By the way, no matter how powerful the Dafeng Army is, it can't get away from the credit of the Dafang Pot; in the end, Panlong City was still taken down. Could it be that the Dafang Pot is ineffective?"

"That's not clear." Sun Fuping spread his hands, "There is no record anywhere. It's not easy for us to deduce the above content from limited information. These are just a glimpse of the leopard. The truth, I'm afraid no one will ever know."

Nian Songyu stood up and stretched: "Rest early. From tomorrow, we may not be able to sleep well."

The meeting was adjourned.

The father and son of the He family lived in the same small house.

The house was very small, and it could barely fit two small beds. Two big men lay down, and their legs could hardly stretch out.

But the bedding was unexpectedly dry. He Lingchuan speculated that it was because the desert was too dry. The ground was a little sandy, but free of those nasty little creatures.
