The next day, the rainstorm finally stopped, Long Zhantian finished hanging, heavy combat boots appeared at the gate of the gate on the mud, and the soldiers led Long Zhantian's war horse, which was a tall blood-red war horse, with red hair like blood, running fast as lightning, and was a rare BMW.
Taking the reins from the hands of his own soldiers, Long Zhantian turned over and jumped, and sat firmly on the horseback, the heavy plate armor not only made Long Zhantian look clumsy, but the whole person set off under his strong body was extremely domineering, and the hideous dragon head helmet was inlaid with a blood-red orb the size of a dragon's eye, and there was a faint light wave flow in the middle of the bead.
This set of armor is the famous Dragon God Blood Battle Armor, it is the family heirloom armor of the Long family, the outside world does not know its grade at all, to the generation of Long Zhantian, this set of armor has been passed down for more than 30 generations, and the dark red armor looks dull under the gloomy weather.
There is already a team of elite knights waiting outside the gate, this is the heavy knight in the Siberian Tiger, their mount is not a horse, but an ironclad beast that is twice as large as a horse, the ironclad beast is a fourth-level demonic beast, likes to live in groups, has excellent weight-bearing ability and running ability, and has good endurance, the only drawback is that it is extremely difficult to tame.
And the whole 5,000 ironclad beast cavalry, all of them are fourth-level or above fighters, and the mounts they sit on are also their life beasts, ironclad beasts are named after their hard skin, which looks very similar to armor makes the ironclad beast's survivability greatly increased, and what is even more peculiar is that the skin of the ironclad beast can be regenerated, as long as it does not die, it will grow a new epidermis in a short time.
Long Zhantian shouted loudly, and rushed out first, followed by five thousand ironclad cavalry, and the heavy hooves of the ironclad beast trampled on the ground and flew in the mud.
The soldiers of each battalion had already set up their formations, and Long Zhantian's location was the Chinese army, and he led the ironclad cavalry through the battle formations, crossed the first battle line in the sight of the soldiers, and broke through to a distance of 100 steps outside the city gate.
The air was very fresh in the early morning after the rain, and Long Zhantian took a big puff greedily, and then slowly looked at the city tower.
Xiongguan was originally separated by a lonely peak into a double-hole canyon, the hinterland of the empire was flat and there was no danger to follow, so it was here to start the construction of this Xiongguan that stretched for five miles, the highest place of Xiongguan was more than ten zhang from the ground, the double-layer city wall was adopted, the outer layer was built with bluestone rock, and the inner layer was an iron wall wrapped with iron sheets, and what was hidden in the cracks of this double-layer wall was the enchantment of the guard.
At this time, the barrier has been opened, and a layer of white light can be faintly seen on the cyan city wall outside, and in the middle of the Xiongguan is the city tower, and there are two gates, which is also the characteristic that distinguishes it from other passes.
The city tower is five zhang high from the ground, at this time the city tower is lined with cold guns, every three or four meters of distance has a city crossbow, this kind of crossbow is fixed, more than twice as large as the bed crossbow, the crossbow arrows used are also very penetrating bayonet guns, in addition, the archers standing on the pass are also deadly.
At this time, there were a lot of archers aiming at Long Zhantian, but no one released arrows, from this point of view, the discipline of the soldiers guarding the pass was also very distinct, a face was purple, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a big man with a black face held his waist knife and looked at Long Zhantian under the pass.
This person wearing the general's armor is Cheng Shijie, Cheng Shijie is a native of the northwest, born with a round waist and a thick waist, and a slightly obese body, his birth is not very good, but he has a fighting spirit, and he became a fighting saint at the age of thirty.
"Brother Cheng, long time no see, it's okay" Long Zhantian laughed, not caring at all about the archers who were aiming at him.
Cheng Shijie looked at Long Zhantian with complicated eyes, although he and Long Zhantian did not have a deep personal relationship, they were both soldiers, and there was still sympathy between the same kind.
Cheng Shijie has studied many classic battle examples of Long Zhantian, if it weren't for Su Hu's kindness to him at the beginning, he would have been under Long Zhantian's command long ago.
Cheng Shijie arched his hand, but he didn't know how to call Long Zhantian, call him marshal, Long Zhantian has been designated as a chaotic minister and thief, call it a knighthood, it's not right, after thinking about it, Cheng Shijie returned on the city tower: "General Long, it's been a long time." ” "Hehe, I have heard Brother Cheng's name for a long time, I saw it today, and it was really stylish, now the traitor is in charge, Long Mou fought back, but it made the world miserable, if Brother Cheng has a heart, can you go out and talk to me, before this battle, put a table of wine, let's talk about how" Long Zhantian's personal charm is very strong, this call made him say heroic and dry, righteous and thin.
Cheng Shijie hesitated, it is his task to stick to Zhongzhou, now Xianglong is on fire everywhere, and it is not only Long Zhantian who rises up against the imperial court, but Long Zhantian is undoubtedly the largest one, and the harm is also the greatest.
However, Cheng Shijie also has his own ideas, the Long family has always been loyal, if he can persuade Long Zhantian to make the Long family able to retire temporarily, and then have their own maneuvers, if they can resolve the misunderstanding between Su Gong and the Long family, then this military disaster can be avoided.
Cheng Shijie thinks like this, if Ye Zhiqiu and other politicians know, I am afraid that they will be despised, such a simple thought, I am afraid that only teenagers can have it, but Cheng Shijie is not, even if he is a general who is good at scheming, he is just a pure soldier.
In his mind, the military world is greater than personal feelings, which also makes Cheng Shijie take it for granted.
After agreeing, Cheng Shijie went to prepare.
With Long Zhantian as a person, he categorically would not arrange any planes during the conversation, but the people under Cheng Shijie didn't think so, the ninth-level magic protection scroll was stuffed for Cheng Shijie three or four, and the armor was also replaced with expensive magic armor, Cheng Shijie felt that there was a bit of a fuss in his heart, but in line with the principle of being responsible for Su Hu, he did not refuse.
When Cheng Shijie, who was wearing a gorgeous magic armor, came to the appointed location, Long Zhantian was already waiting here, a thick fur blanket was spread on the ground of the wet tower, and a small wooden table was placed on the blanket, a pot of wine was warmed on the table, and next to it were a few side dishes with wine.
Long Zhantian's armor had been removed, and at this time he was wearing an ordinary robe, just like a scribe waiting for an old friend, Cheng Shijie was slightly embarrassed, he was wearing this armor, and it was inevitably a little difficult to sit down on this blanket.
Long Zhantian smiled and stretched out his hand lightly: "Brother Cheng, please."
Cheng Shijie sat on the ground slowly and awkwardly, fortunately, the shape of the magic armor was very consistent with the structure of the human body, although it was heavy, but it was not stupid.
Long Zhantian lifted the wine jug, and in front of the two of them were two bowls, the bowls were the kind of rice bowls with small mouths, made of coarse porcelain, and ordinary things in the army.
Cheng Shijie held the bowl in one hand and the bottom of the bowl in the other, took the wine poured by Long Zhantian, slowly put it in front of his mouth and smelled it, and then dried it directly.
"Hehe, the best Northeast aromatic flow, this is a good wine that I have treasured for almost twenty years, and it is really a blessing to be able to drink it with Brother Cheng today" Long Zhantian raised his neck and wiped the wine on the corner of his mouth and said.
Cheng Shijie couldn't help but panic: "Shijie is panicked.
"Hehe, come on, come on, after today, let's drink here and it will be a good story."
Long Zhantian said boldly, Cheng Shijie looked at Long Zhantian, and his pupils couldn't help but retract.
The world says that the Siberian tiger is extremely strong, and when I saw it today, Cheng Shijie really appreciated it, the vast red armor, like a churning wave of fire, swords, guns, swords, and halberds, the cold light flashed, and at a glance, they were all well-equipped soldiers.
What really shocked Cheng Shijie was not the military appearance of the Northeast Army, but their discipline, more than 100,000 people lined up here, whether it was a human or a beast, there was no chaotic sound, such a quiet battlefield made people can't help but have a trance illusion, it seems that all this is an illusion.
Turning his head and looking at his side again, Cheng Shijie couldn't help but shake his head secretly, in terms of spirit, the Zhongzhou Army is far behind, it is also a formation, this glance, several places are not neat, if it is a battle on the plain, Cheng Shijie does not have the slightest confidence that he can withstand the Northeast Army, what he relies on is the majestic Xiongguan behind him, which has been easier to defend than to attack since ancient times.
"Brother Cheng, since you are here, I will also open the skylight and say something."
As soon as Long Zhantian's topic changed, Cheng Shijie immediately sat up straight.
"The world is in turmoil, my Xianglong Kingdom will not be a country, and the people are also involved in fire and water, the cause of all this is because of Su Hu, I don't mention what Su Hu has done to my Long family, just this one charge of killing the king, is he still worth your life" Long Zhantian's eyes were shining, and he looked at Cheng Shijie tightly.
Cheng Shijie's face changed greatly, but he returned to normal in an instant, he retorted with a serious face: "The general's words are ridiculous, the country is facing the current situation, the general's responsibility cannot be abandoned, even if the Long family is wronged, the general should not easily raise swords, since the general can't bear to see the people involved in fire and water, then why not collect troops and return to the northeast, with the strength of the Long family, there is no problem with self-preservation, as long as the country is stable, what kind of grievances can not be revealed."
Long Zhantian shook his head and said with a wry smile: "What Brother Cheng said is not what Long thinks, but Duke Su will give the Long family this opportunity, the emperor did not come to the court for a few months, and suddenly died, I believe that General Cheng has a bottom in his heart, what Duke Su wants to do, Brother Cheng can't guess it?"
Cheng Shijie was silent, he couldn't be clearer about what kind of person Su Hu was, and he was also clear about Su Hu's ambitions, of course he knew what Su Hu wanted to do, perhaps, no one could know better than him, but Cheng Shijie looked at Long Zhantian and said: "General, if there is a choice, Shijie doesn't want to meet with the general's saber soldiers, Shijie promises that as long as the general retreats, Shijie will definitely protect the innocence of the Long family in front of the duke." ” Long Zhantian drank the wine in the bowl empty, looked at Cheng Shijie and said: OT National Highway is falling, traitors are in charge, Brother Cheng, I appreciate you as a hero, why don't you conform to the sky, you can protect Su Hu for a while, but you can't protect Su Hu I, this pass, you can't keep it" Cheng Shijie stood up and said: "The general's good intentions Shijie has understood, but Shijie is difficult to obey, the Duke has the grace of knowing me, and Shijie will defend the Xiongguan for the Duke if he dies":
