At the beginning, I became a county magistrate with greed of 500 million. The empress asked me to be

On the desolate wilderness, with the autumn wind blowing, a solitary city stands tall and firm in the sunset.

This lonely city has an even lonelier name, Shuoxi City.

For many years in the past, the only purpose of this city was to garrison troops to resist foreign invasion.

There are almost no ordinary people living in this city.

In the past month or so, Shuoxi City has experienced unprecedented fierce fighting since the founding of the Daliang Dynasty.

Hundreds of thousands of barbarian troops surrounded Shuoxicheng and launched attacks day and night.

As of today, large areas of the walls on all four sides of Shuoxi City have collapsed, and they are crumbling like fallen leaves in the wind.

On the east gate wall, a burly middle-aged general wearing a black helmet and black armor looked into the distance with a resolute expression on his face.

From his body, one can clearly see that his armor is covered in red blood, and there are numerous marks of sword cuts on the leather.

It's not that the general was unwilling to clean his armor.

There was really no need for this, the barbarian troops launched attacks day and night, and people died on the battlefield almost every minute and every second.

Even if the armor is cleaned, it will be stained red by the enemy's blood in less than half an hour.

At this moment, the middle-aged general was looking down from a high place, and what appeared in his sight was a vast army of barbarians that stretched as far as the eye could see.

Among them, there are about tens of thousands of troops preparing for the next round of attack.

"General, all the medicines stored in the city have been used up. Thousands of wounded soldiers cannot receive effective treatment. I'm afraid they won't be able to hold out for much longer."

At this time, a lieutenant general under the middle-aged general climbed up to the city wall, came to his side and spoke.

"It was my incompetence that harmed my brothers."

The middle-aged general clenched his fists and hammered the city wall hard, with a helpless look on his face.

Ever since he led an army of 100,000 into Shuoxi City that day, he had almost forgotten what peace felt like.

"General, you must not say that. Without your wise command, our army would have been destroyed by the barbarians long ago. How could we have survived until today?"

"The Grand Marshal has sent a letter a few days ago. He will lead his army to Shuoxi soon. I hope the general can lead our army to hold out for a few more days."

The lieutenant general said encouragingly.

Hearing this, Chen Jingzhong, whose face was gloomy, suddenly had a glimmer of light in his dark eyes.

Yes, Marshal Xia Yun is on the way to support them.

What they didn’t know was how long it would take for hundreds of thousands of imperial troops to reach Shuoxi City?

If it lasts ten days or half a month at night, I'm afraid he really can't hold on...

The light in his eyes flashed away, and Chen Jingzhong's face quickly returned to a gloomy and cold expression.

However, it was at this time.

In the distance, a cavalry unit of thousands of people suddenly appeared!

But the cavalry unit was wearing the uniforms of the Daliang Dynasty army, and they were marching all the way to Shuoxi City!

On the city wall, Chen Jingzhong saw this sudden scene and his pupils widened.

The army of the Daliang Dynasty? !

Chen Jingzhong was a little bit unbelievable for a moment. This was the first time in more than a month that he saw the Daliang Dynasty’s troops outside the venue.

However, immediately afterwards, Chen Jingzhong began to feel confused again.

Judging from the marching direction of the cavalry unit of thousands of people in the distance, they seemed to be heading towards Shuoxi City.

But now, Shuoxi City is surrounded by hundreds of thousands of barbarian troops, with three layers inside and three layers outside, making the defense line like an iron barrel.

Could it be that those cavalrymen from the Liang Dynasty came here to die?

"General! They are starting to charge!"

Just as Chen Jingzhong was pondering and unable to figure it out, the voice of the lieutenant general beside him rang out again.

Chen Jingzhong quickly came to his senses and focused his attention on the cavalry unit.

As expected, led by a general in white robe and armor, the cavalry unit of thousands of people actually rushed directly into the layers of encirclement of the barbarian troops!

In an instant, the two sides engaged in a battle!

Due to the long distance, Chen Jingzhong could not see the figure of General Bai Pao clearly. He only saw that the man was riding a white warhorse. Every swing of the spear in his hand would take several lives!

The thousands of cavalrymen following behind the white-robed general also fought very bravely.

These thousands of people are like a steel knife, stabbing directly into the enemy from the outside, and they are invincible wherever they go!

In just a few dozen breaths, the cavalry unit of thousands of people actually broke through to a position hundreds of meters outside Shuoxi City!

By this time, the barbarian army was also in a panic.

They also didn't expect that this cavalry unit of only about a thousand people would be so powerful!

As the barbarians continued to increase their troops and surround the city, a very burly barbarian general rushed out first.

"Who is coming!"

The barbarian general quickly came to the white-robed general, holding a pair of Xuanhua axes, looking quite ferocious.

However, the white-robed general did not answer. His sharp eyes were fixed on the barbarian general. Suddenly, he rushed forward to within one meter of the barbarian general.

The spear in his hand was like a silver dragon, heading straight for the barbarian general's eyebrows.

The barbarian general looked furious. He swung his two Xuanhua axes alternately left and right and rushed towards the white-robed general at the same time.

Bang bang bang!

In a flash, the weapons used by the two men collided violently, and the room was filled with the sound of crisp metal collision.

However, the fight did not last long.

The white-robed general held the spear horizontally in his hand to block the violent attack of the two Xuanhua axes.

Suddenly, the white-robed general pulled back abruptly, moving several meters behind him.

At the same time, the barbarian general who was originally feeling proud was caught off guard and his pair of Xuanhua axes were directly picked up and flew away by the spear!

He subconsciously wanted to step forward and take back the Xuanhua Axe, but he never expected that he would be in a critical moment.

The white-robed general's spear leaped, and after turning the spear head, he leaped forward again.

puff!

In a split second, the spear in the white-robed general's hand pierced through the barbarian general's head! A large amount of blood spurted onto the ground.

"I am the vanguard officer of the Imperial Court's Northern Expedition Marshal, Chong Hei Hu! Who dares to fight me to the death?"

At this moment, the white-robed general shouted loudly and revealed his origins!

Its terrifying power was like the arrival of the god of death, and blood kept dripping from the tip of the gun.

The death of the barbarian general caused a large group of barbarian soldiers around him to become frightened and flee in all directions.

"Haha, it's General Chong Heihu! Lord Xia Yun's reinforcements have arrived!"

On the city wall, Chen Jingzhong, who had originally had a gloomy face, suddenly looked overjoyed and even burst into laughter.
