Other than the meeting hall, at the bottom of the long flight of stairs, the wide square was filled with soldiers.
These were the guards of the Mayor's Residence. They held onto their spears and stared at the Mayor's Residence anxiously.
Jun Wu Xie stood on the stairs and scanned the crowd. His voice was like a tiger's roar. "Qin Shan betrayed the country and colluded with Celestial Forest. He tried to lure Celestial Forest's army into the pass and ignored the people at the border. He has been killed by me!"
Boom!
As soon as he finished speaking, the tens of thousands of soldiers held onto their spears and took a step forward. Their aura was overwhelming.
"Are you determined to follow Qin Shan and betray the country?" Jun Wu Xie walked down the stairs. His golden blood energy surged and transformed into dragons and tigers on both sides of his body. Every step he took caused the entire square to tremble.
"Now, I will give you two choices! First, put down your weapons and swear allegiance to Marshal Ji. Second, raise your spears and attack me. In the end, all of you will die here. You will be cursed and despised by the world! Your families will no longer have a place to stay because of your actions! "
As he spoke, he did not stop walking. He walked step by step towards the square at the bottom of the stairs. The roar of a dragon and the roar of a tiger constantly impacted the nerves of these soldiers.
The weapons in the hands of the soldiers could not help but tremble.
Fear grew in their hearts.
They were not afraid of death. However, they would be cursed and scolded after death and become sinners who betrayed the country and the people. This was unacceptable.
What was even more unacceptable was that their families would be implicated because of this!
Clang!
No one knew who was the first to throw away their spears.
Instantly, like a butterfly effect, clang clang clang. The sound of weapons falling to the ground resounded throughout the square.
Tens of thousands of soldiers all threw down their weapons and knelt down neatly.
"We know our mistakes. Please have mercy on us, Marshal!"
"I will let bygones be bygones!" Ji Yinlan came to stand beside Jun Wu Xie and said: "Soldiers, have you ever thought deeply about why you joined the army, donned your armour, and held your spears in your hands?"
"Protect the country?" Ji Inran's voice resounded, "Protecting the country has never been a random thought, nor is it just an empty slogan! Only when the country is stable can your small family live in peace and prosperity. The country will be destroyed, and the enemy's cavalry will trample over every inch of the land. When the nest is overturned, no egg will remain intact. How will your family survive? "
"Put on your armor, pick up your spears, defend the borders of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and defend your homes! Remember, in front of you is war, a bloody battlefield, billowing smoke, rivers of blood, and mountains of corpses. But as long as you stand tall and do not fall, behind you is prosperity and peace, and behind you is the happy smiling faces of your wives and children! "
"Marshal, we were wrong!"
The eyes of the soldiers were all red. Their morale had been low, but now their blood was boiling. Everyone's eyes were burning with fire.
"But, did the Grand General … really collude with Cillin?"
The soldiers were still unwilling to believe it. How could the Grand General collude with Celine?
"If there was nothing wrong with Qin Shan, why would we kill him now?"
Jun Wu Xie immediately took out the Rune Memory Stone and projected the recorded scene on the spot.
Instantly, Qin Shan's complacent face, his rebellious words, and his callous words caused the soldiers to be deeply shocked!
"Now, the entire border is in danger. I will not say much. Immediately head to the west side of the city and set up a defensive formation there! The citizens of Shunyi City will be temporarily moved to the east side of the city to seek refuge. I want everyone to defend the west side of the city for two days no matter what! Before that, we must not let Cillin's army break through! "
"We must complete the mission with our lives!"
The eyes of the soldiers were filled with determination.
They were originally the elites of the border army, and had lived at the border for generations. Many of them had their homes in Shunyi City, or the villages outside of Shunyi City.
Once this city was completely broken through, their wives and children would be massacred!
"Soldiers, follow me!"
The generals led the army and quickly retreated to the west side of the city.
At this moment, a general of the Black Armored Army hurried over.
"Commander Zhou, how is the situation at Shunyi City?"
Ji Inran asked.
Commander Zhou shook his head and said, "The border city has been broken through. The Cillin's army is fast and fierce. There are estimated to be more than a million soldiers attacking Shunyi City!"
"How are the citizens at the border city?"
"They are all hiding in the cellar." Commander Zhou said, "After the Cillin's army entered the city, they immediately chased after us. They left a small commandant camp of more than two thousand men to prepare to massacre the city. However, we had expected this and had prepared three thousand Black Armored Army in the city in advance! "
"Commander, the Cillin's army attacking Shunyi City has two hundred thousand heavy cavalry, one hundred and fifty thousand light cavalry, fifty thousand archers, and six hundred thousand infantry. Among them, there are more than two hundred thousand heavy infantry!"
Commander Zhou's expression was solemn, "The Black Armored Army did not have time to practice the three-three battle strategy that Commander and Young Master Jun. We can only improvise. I am afraid that it will be difficult to deal with so many Cillin's cavalry!"
"You have no confidence?"
"Yes!" Commander Zhou said firmly, "No matter how many people the Cillin's army has, if they want to break through Shunyi City and attack the capital city from here, it will be impossible unless the entire Black Armored Army is killed!"
Ji Inran nodded and said, "Has everything been arranged according to the plan?"
"Reporting to the Marshal, everything has been arranged. Five hundred thousand Black Armored Army soldiers and six hundred thousand border soldiers have already hidden in the Iron Plateau Ridge between the border city and Shunyi City. One hundred thousand border soldiers have also been arranged in the Sanli Plains near the main city! "
"How is the situation at the other cities and passes at the border?"
"I was just about to report to the Commander! The situation at Jinhu City is very dangerous. It is the second main target of the Cillin's army. They have deployed three hundred thousand soldiers there, including eighty thousand heavy cavalry! The border soldiers we arranged there are less than thirty thousand. Including the eight thousand Black Armored Army soldiers who rushed here yesterday, we only have thirty thousand soldiers! "
Ji Inran immediately took out a map and looked at it, "Are there any rich armies near Jinhu City? Ask them to send some of their troops to support!"
Commander Zhou shook his head.
Ji Inran was silent for a moment, then said in a low voice, "We have to defend even if we can't! Order them to hold on for two days no matter what! We will try to annihilate Shunyi's Cillin Cavalry within two days! "
"Yes!"
Commander Zhou immediately opened a special military communication jade talisman and passed on Ji Inran's order to Jinhu City.
At this time, Jinhu City was completely covered in ice and snow. The temperature was negative a hundred degrees and was incomparably cold.
There was a canyon here. The entrance was very long and narrow, and the ground was uneven.
It could only allow dozens of cavalrymen to charge side by side.
In the canyon, there were many warhorses, armored soldiers, and corpses of the Black Armored Army lying on the ground.
These corpses were all frozen into ice sculptures.
The only parts of the Cillin Cavalry that were not covered in armor were their necks and eyes.
Their necks were either pierced by arrows or bitten by the Black Armored Army soldiers. They were all turned into ice sculptures in this world of ice and snow.
Inside the canyon, there was only a simple wall made of ice. It was not built in the past, but was built temporarily.
There was no city here, and no wall to defend.
The only way to stop the Cillin Cavalry was to annihilate them at the entrance of this long and narrow canyon!
At this time, a group of Cillin Cavalry rushed into the canyon. Looking at the ice sculptures and corpses all over the ground, their eyes flashed with a cold light. They could not help but slow down and carefully observe the situation around them.
From afar, they could see the ice walls that the Great Zhou Army had built temporarily, but they could not see their soldiers.
"Are these Great Zhou Army soldiers all frozen?"
The leader of the cavalrymen observed the surroundings and spoke in Cillin's language.
"It's better to be careful. I'm afraid that they have an ambush. Why can't I see anyone?"
The bearded vice-leader said.
"Hmph, how can they ambush in such cold weather? Do you think this place looks like it can hide people? If they don't move, an Innate Realm person will not be able to withstand it! "
At this moment, the thick snow on both sides of the canyon suddenly moved slightly. Pairs of eyes with ice shards on their eyelashes appeared, followed by faces that were cracked from the cold.
Those were the Black Armored Troops. Every one of them was chewing on the Great Zhou Empire's Nightmare Chilli in their mouths. They used it to expel the cold and to maintain their consciousness at all times to prevent themselves from fainting in the extreme cold.
The wind and snow whistled, producing an ear-piercing sound in the canyon.
The leader of the Cillin Cavalry showed a look of disdain and said, "The Great Zhou Empire is just a lowly race, a bunch of weak and sick people. How can they stop the Cillin Army? Even if they use the natural barrier, they can only resist for half a day at most. "
"Hahaha!"
Hearing this, the other cavalrymen laughed.
At this moment, hundreds of figures suddenly rushed out from the snow on both sides of the mountain.
They formed groups of three and rushed towards the Cillin Cavalry.
Each of them locked onto their own target.
Two of them attacked from the left and right. One of them released a crossbow and aimed at the target's neck.
"Be careful, there's an ambush!"
The leader of the Cillin Cavalry shouted, but he was very calm and did not panic.
Until …
Puff!
The crossbow arrows pierced through the necks of the cavalrymen who could not dodge in time. Only then did he completely lose his cool.
"Quick! Counterattack with the crossbow arrows! "
The Cillin Cavalry was also equipped with crossbows.
However, before they could take out their crossbows, the Black Armored Troops had already charged in front of them.
In order to avoid being hit by the war horses, they all attacked in the air, each aiming for the enemy's vital points.
At the same time, the third person in the three-man team continuously shot arrows from behind!
In a moment, the Cillin Cavalry was in a mess.
This battle only lasted for a short half an hour.
More than two hundred cavalrymen of the Cillin Cavalry all fell in the canyon.
More than ten people of the Black Armored Troops were injured. Those with deeper wounds lost their ability to fight immediately.
In such a cold place, once the flesh was pierced, the flesh and organs inside would instantly freeze under the extreme cold and lose all their functions.
"You guys carry them to the tents behind the ice wall to rest. The rest of you, clean up the battlefield immediately. See if the Cillin Cavalry has any elixirs. Don't waste a single one. In such weather, we've used up too many resources. As time passes, I'm afraid we'll run out of resources! "
A Thousand Captains of the Black Armored Troops commanded in an orderly manner.
…
At the same time, in Shunyi City.
Jun Wu Xie and Ji Inran arrived at the front line, Iron Plateau Ridge.
After the Cillin Army broke through the border city, they marched straight in.
At this moment, the boundless army had already entered the territory of Iron Plateau Ridge and entered the ambush.
