"These Gantian Mountain people should all die!"
A furious scolding rang out from within a carriage. This carriage looked really normal but had really luxurious decorations. A middle-aged man in his thirties was looking out of the window in rage.
At this moment, on this wide sandy path, there were countless Tumbling Clouds that were hurrying along.
It was currently deep into the night and the middle-aged man was looking at the carriages in front of him.
… Tens of days ago, these carriages were still under his name.
However, now they were occupied by some commoners who ate, drank, and peed on the carriages.
This wasn't much. However, thinking about how they didn't have enough carriages and had to throw away large amounts of treasures, the middle-aged man's heart felt pained.
He was a merchant who had lived in Yangye City for a long time and his family was really rich. Although Huizhou was in chaos all around. However, relying on those thousands of family generals, they were able to live a good life.
However, all of this was totally destroyed half a month ago.
First, news of the Night Demons invading spread which terrified him. It was said that these alien races loved to eat humans.
However, in the end, they didn't come. Instead, hundreds of thousands of troops from Gantian Mountain swept over from the east.
Then, they attacked all around, forcing everyone, be it rich or poor, old or weak, to the west.
Naturally, the Yangye City Lord was unwilling. However, this strong army used just a day to break through the city and kill the City Lord.
In the end, they even broke into his home and took away all the horses and carriages.
The strong young men walked on their own while the old and weak took carriages to the west.
At this moment, a flame jumped into his field of vision as the carriage got close. The blazing flames became more and more eye-piercing. The flames burned people. From half a mile away, they could feel the heat waves. However, they couldn't feel any warmth at all.
Without needing to look, one knew that there was a mountain-like amount of grain under the flames.
Actually, even if they were chased away by those evil people, there were many people who weren't willing to leave their homes.
The Gantian Mountain people didn't need to be rough, directly snatching all the grain and burning it. Leave behind only half a month's worth of rations. If you don't leave and can withstand the hunger, then it's up to you.
He himself was like this. Whenever he thought of the seven million-shi granaries in his family that had been reduced to ashes, he felt an indescribable pain in his heart.
At this moment, many people could be seen crying loudly in the distance, and there was no lack of people cursing.
However, the soldier beside the fire didn't move at all. He still stood there coldly with a sharp blade in his hand, preventing these people from approaching.
This scene was vaguely similar. Ten days ago, he had done the same thing.
"Bah! They're all cowards. Why don't you fight them with your life? "
The middle-aged man spat on the ground again, feeling even more resentful.
However, he only dared to say these words. At that time, although there were more than a thousand family generals, they still didn't dare to resist.
These Gantian Mountain soldiers were all vicious and merciless. As long as someone made a move, the counterattack would be extremely fierce.
Along the way, he'd already seen quite a few examples, and all of them were clans that had been annihilated, causing him to feel extremely fortunate.
At this moment, he was shocked, only to feel dozens of cold gazes looking over at him.
Frowning, the middle-aged man didn't need to look to know what was going on.
Those were the people who returned from Lianyun Island …
At that time, Yangye City Lord wanted to recruit strong men, and it was said that he wanted to send them to the east to do manual labor, and the pay was huge.
As a tycoon, he naturally knew what was going on. As his family had thousands of servants, they were given hundreds of spots. At that time, he acted like he didn't know and sent some arrogant and unruly servants over.
However, he didn't expect that these people would be able to return.
Did they want his life?
The middle-aged man laughed coldly, but in the end, he retracted his head back into the carriage.
Then, he heard a trembling voice, "This Gantian Mountain is so cruel to the people, going against the natural order! How can such a tyrant not be punished by the heavens? I should write a letter to my old colleagues to ask the Taishang Emperor to send troops to suppress them and bring order to the chaos! We are immoral to allow such a tyrant to be born in the world. Is this the punishment of the heavens … "
Looking in the direction of the voice, he saw an old Confucian in a sorry state, rambling endlessly.
The middle-aged man laughed coldly. He knew that this person was a student of a Central Continent Confucian, and it was said that he was a Xiucai. It was said that he came to Huizhou to spread the teachings of the Confucian School of Thought and accepted the invitation of Yangye City Lord.
However, during these few years, this person had taken in numerous students, but Yangye City didn't change much. Instead, that family became more and more rich. Now, it was all for naught, and they were in the same boat.
That Gantian Mountain Monster King was naturally a tyrant. However, for the Taishang Emperor to send troops to suppress them was just wishful thinking.
Shaking his head, the middle-aged man frowned and then sighed.
Now, it was up to the few large countries in the west whether or not they could block them.
A month ago, when the 300,000 Gantian Mountain troops came from the east, they didn't care. He didn't pay much attention to it, but he didn't expect that in the end, it would be a complete sweep.
From east to west, there were dozens of battles, and they won each one. Like the autumn wind sweeping the fallen leaves, they occupied two provinces of land. They also took in millions of surrendered troops.
The Huizhou City Lords didn't care at first, but in the end, they panicked. They went from doing their own things to working together.
However, until now, they were still unable to stop their troops, and they were still retreating.
Yangye City was taken down because the Alliance Army was defeated.
There were also many people who hoped that the three sects of Huizhou would step out. However, what made them panic was that until now, there were no signs of these people. Even their family members were nowhere to be seen.
At this moment, there were already two million Alliance Army troops in the west. However, in his eyes, they didn't have a high chance of winning.
"Ren Tianxing …"
Muttering out this name, the middle-aged man sighed heavily, frowning and not saying a word.
The current Gantian Mountain commander was called Zong Gang, and he was really famous in Donglin.
However, the one who left the deepest impression on him was still this person.
This person should be the main general of the Gantian Mountain army. During this month, most of the big and small battles came from this person.
Each time he won with fewer people, and his 150,000 men were invincible everywhere he went.
That day when the Yangye City City Lord was defeated, he had personally witnessed it.
At that time, he felt that his mind was shaken, especially by the 20,000 swordsmen in red armor and the 20,000 crossbowmen. Their sharpness and sharpness were frightening.
500,000 troops were defeated in just three drums, throwing away their armor and tens of thousands died.
This was why when his grain was burned, he didn't have any intention to fight back.
Now, six provinces had been broken through. Although there were still two million Alliance Army troops in the west. In his eyes, they were most probably going to lose.
Logically speaking, he should be depressed. However, for some reason, a gloating feeling rose up in his heart.
My family was destroyed, so how can you all be left alone?
※ ※ ※
At this moment, Ren Tianxing didn't know that when people were thinking about him, they were having such dark thoughts.
At this moment, he was frowning as he looked forward.
Countless tents were densely packed on the hills in the distance.
With six people in each tent, there were at least 700,000 troops in the camp.
The Huizhou Army wasn't as weak as people thought. After all, this place was a chaotic place where only the strong could survive.
In his eyes, the soldiers here were much stronger than those in the Taishang core area.
People thought that the Taishang was strong, but they didn't know that it had been peaceful for too long. Apart from the border army being elites, the troops in the core area had long decayed.
Naturally, if it was during normal times, he wouldn't bother about these 700,000 people.
However, at this moment, he saw deep trenches and high walls, a bow every ten steps, a crossbow every three steps. The entire camp was like a porcupine.
For two full days, these 700,000 Alliance Army troops defended here, not giving him a chance to fight in the wild.
Even with Ren Tianxing's calmness, he couldn't help but feel anxious.
Who knows what the Ruler's situation was like, could he hold on? Would the troops under him be able to rush back in time?
If what he expected was right, the final battle of Seven Cloud Mountain would happen soon!
If they continued to waste time here, it would really be too late.
This should be the final battle, but they were stuck here and couldn't move an inch forward.
Actually, it wasn't that they couldn't forcefully break through …
Ren Tianxing's eyes looked to the left. Only to see 20,000 swordsmen in red heavy armor, as well as 20,000 soldiers holding crossbows, lined up in an orderly manner at the side.
Their armor was clean and tidy, but it gave one a thick blood stench. The bright red armor looked like blood. They had gone through dozens of battles, killing millions, and were undefeatable. Only then did they develop such an invincible and overbearing aura, as well as that thick killing intent.
These were the newly formed Big Dipper Sword Soldiers and Big Dipper Crossbow Soldiers.
It was said that they were modeled after Ancient Qin, and were elite troops above the Gantian Wind Splitting Mo Knife Soldiers.
He also didn't expect that Kong Yao would toss these elite troops that were only weaker than the Blood Cloud Cavalry to him.
However, at that time, the so-called elite troops of the 4 towns were all lax and weak. Apart from morale, they had nothing good about them.
To be able to train the troops of the 4 towns to such a state in a short two months, it was soaked in his blood and sweat.
If the Big Dipper Sword Soldiers forcefully broke through, they would definitely be able to break this camp!
However, if that happened, the elite troops under him would definitely be wiped out.
Looking at Kong Yao's intentions, it seemed like she had a lot of expectations for him. If the casualties were too heavy, it wouldn't be what she wanted.
Thinking about it in his heart, Ren Tianxing thought about Zhang Huai.
That day when they were splitting the west conquering troops, although Kong Yao made Zong Gang the commander, she also moved his junior brother Zhang Huai over to Huizhou to be his assistant.
That was what he liked. Every time Zong Gang went to war, he would be really valiant.
However, to lead an army to attack cities and defend against millions of enemies wasn't what he was good at.
With Zhang Huai at the side giving advice and helping to plan, it made him feel at ease.
It was the same during these few days. As the commander, Zong Gang was more like the vanguard than him, attacking west without caring about anything.
On the contrary, Zhang Huai was at the back, coordinating the battle situation.
However, half a day ago, this fellow said that he was going to use his glib tongue to convince the Huizhou natives to surrender. Then, he didn't bother to stop him, running to the opposite camp alone. Who knows how he was doing now? (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to qidian.com to vote for me.
