My vicious dog, my horse, I can do whatever I want with it

When Zong Yanli led his troops to Changfeng County, he had already seen smoke rising outside the pass.

"The Qing Kingdom is attacking the city." Zong Yanli, who had just arrived, did not even take a breath before leading his troops into Changfeng County and heading straight for Yuanshi Pass.

"Greetings, General Mingwei!" Zong Yanli climbed up to the top of the city wall. Zong Yanhongtu was already deploying troops to defend the city. Seeing Zong Yanli coming, he immediately showed joy: "Ali, you came at the right time."

"Come, follow me." Zong Yanhongtu took Zong Yanli to the observation deck on the city wall, where they could observe the overall situation below the city wall.

Zong Yanli saw the Qing Kingdom's troops attacking the city. The soldiers were arranged in neat rows like a square formation.

Among them, one can see a huge crossbow and a huge rock that was pulled over. Every time I look at it, my heart trembles.

This is the true momentum of a powerful country attacking a city!

Compared with the battle with Nankang, it was just a small skirmish. Anyone who saw the siege crossbows would feel dry in the mouth.

"This is the main force of Qing State, a total of 50,000 soldiers." Zong Yanhongtu took a deep breath and pointed at the soldiers below and said, "The general leading the troops of Qing State this time is Yuan Heng. He has a Shenwu Army under his command. They are brave and invincible."

"If it were just the soldiers, it would be fine. The scary thing is the dozens of siege chariots and crossbows of the Qing Kingdom." Zong Yanhongtu looked ahead and said, "This battle will be difficult. Ali, do you have any good strategies?"

"..." Zong Yanli was rarely silent.

"We have no choice but to fight to the death." She closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, she said firmly and resolutely: "I will advance and retreat with you, General!"

Zong Yanhongtu felt sad and reached out his hand to pat Zong Yanli's shoulder heavily.

He turned and looked into the distance and whispered, "If one day Changfeng County can no longer be defended, you don't have to worry about it. Leave here as soon as possible. Second uncle will cover you."

Zong Yanli's heart was shaken, and she felt a surge of emotions coming at her in an instant. She side-glanced at Zong Yanhongtu beside her. Zong Yanhongtu at this moment seemed to overlap with Zong Yanhongtu in her previous life. Amidst the bloody battle, Zong Yanhongtu also spoke to her as he did now.

"Ali! Live!"

"Let Zong Yanshi live!"

The image of Zong Yanhongtu who was submerged under the sword gradually became clearer in front of her eyes, and overlapped with the image of Zong Yanhongtu who was standing in front of her.

Zong Yanli's throat rolled over. She clenched the long sword in her hand and looked into the distance with a resolute and firm attitude: "We can hold on."

The attack horn sounded under the city wall, and both Zong Yanhongtu and Zong Yanli were shocked. They then saw the Qing army outside the pass moving. What was coming finally came.

"Pass my military order to meet the enemy!" Zong Yanhongtu suddenly turned around and went down the observation tower.

"Meet the enemy——!"

The soldiers stationed on the city wall tightly grasped their spears, swords and shields. In the silence, as the huge crossbow arrow shot over, it penetrated the shields erected on the city wall with extremely strong force and pierced the soldiers holding shields behind them.

This terrifying crossbow arrow frightened almost everyone. The soldiers who witnessed this scene had bloodshot eyes. They turned their heads to see the rain of arrows shot by our archers, which seemed so weak in comparison with this huge crossbow arrow.

How can we defend against such a siege crossbow...

Just when many soldiers were panicking, they suddenly saw a figure standing on the city wall with a shield in one hand and a knife in the other, in the direction of the crossbow arrow that was shot again.

"No way!" After witnessing with his own eyes that the shield could be pierced by a crossbow arrow, he suddenly saw the young general holding up the shield to block it, and he screamed in horror.

However, as soon as the shouting sounded, they saw the crossbow arrow coming at them at a terrifying speed. Some people did not dare to look away, but they did not expect that the young general with a shield would be shot through, which they had expected, did not happen.

When the crossbow arrow penetrated the shield, the young general in the silver helmet held the shield with great force. When the momentum of the crossbow arrow weakened after penetrating the shield, he swung the long sword in his hand down.

With a clang sound, the crossbow arrow that looked terrifying in their eyes was actually cut off by his sword!

Zong Yanli threw away the shield in her hand, on which there was a half-broken crossbow arrow. She stood in front of the army and said fiercely: "How can a mere siege crossbow make us afraid!"

"As long as I am here, the enemy will not be able to break in!" The general in silver helmet and iron armor stood on the city wall, and instantly shocked the hearts of thousands of soldiers. They felt their morale surge and they waved flags and shouted for war!

Zong Yanhongtu witnessed this scene from behind. His tense back relaxed a little and he looked at Zong Yanli's back with complicated and gratified expression.

Zong Yanhongtu retracted his eyes and ordered people to boil water in an orderly manner. When the enemy's siege ladders were set up, the hot water was poured onto the city wall. The catapults in the rear were in position, and the soldiers lifted the huge stones with great effort, and then threw them out and smashed them into the enemy's formation outside the city.

If you are lucky and aim well, the stone can hit the enemy's crossbow and destroy a powerful weapon!

Zong Yanli led his troops to guard the main city tower. The enemy's attack was fierce and numerous, and they had siege crossbows to assist. The ladders were pushed over densely and soon the enemy climbed up the city wall.

However, our army was not incompetent. The enemy soldiers who came up first were either stabbed down by spears or fell down screaming due to the oncoming hot water.

More enemy troops were climbing up the ladders below. They had no advantage in numbers. After resisting the first wave of attacks, our hot water ran out of supply. At this time, we could only rely on military force to resist.

"Who is that young general in a silver helmet on the city wall?" The old general with a slightly aged face but solemn and majestic eyes sat on the commander's seat in the enemy camp. He watched the huge ladder in front of him being chopped down and glanced at Zong Yanli standing high on the city wall. The corpses he had chopped off were piled up like a mountain under the city wall!

Yuan Heng was shocked. The purpose of today's siege was to test the defenders of Yuanshi Pass. Although he didn't use 100% of his strength, he still used 70%!

Yuanshi Pass must have been prepared for a strong attack. Yuan Heng did not dare to think that he could capture the city in one attack. The person guarding the pass, Zong Yanhongtu, was no incompetent person. He had been defending Yuanshi Pass for many years, and our army did not dare to advance even an inch.

But now Yuan Heng did not expect that there was such a person in Yuanshi Pass.

A single force in the front can defeat thousands of troops!

"I have never seen him before." The man who answered squinted his eyes and looked at him, unable to recognize him for a moment. He and Zong Yanhongtu had been fighting for many years and could be considered old rivals. Several generals at Yuanshi Pass knew him well, but had never seen such a young general.

"General, do you want to continue attacking?" A general from the rear came forward and asked.

Yuan Heng pondered for a long time, looked up at the sky, and finally sighed: "Although it is a pity that we have not been able to capture even a corner of the city wall, it is not difficult to see that there are not many troops in Yuanshi Pass. Once we regroup and attack the city again, Yuanshi Pass will be in our pocket sooner or later."

Yuan Heng waved his hand and ordered the troops to withdraw, staring fixedly at the young general in the silver helmet on the city wall, his eyes deep and full of meaning.

The defenders on the wall of Yuanshiguan watched the siege crossbows below retreating. Their hands tightly gripping their spears loosened a little, and they said with a look of relief after surviving a disaster, "The enemy has retreated..."

"Survived..."

"We held on."

At this moment, tears welled up in their eyes. They swallowed their saliva and turned to look at the city wall not far away. Zong Yanli, who was standing on the corpses of many enemy soldiers, had his silver helmet stained with blood, and the black long sword in his hand was so heavy that he could not lift it.

In the afterglow of the setting sun, his figure was elongated, and everyone witnessed Zong Yanli resisting thousands of enemies.

How many times have they been afraid that the city would be breached, but they only needed to turn their heads to see Zong Yanli who was always standing on the city wall. At that moment, Zong Yanli seemed to have become a god in the hearts of the soldiers defending the city.

As long as she is here, the enemy can't attack!

Zong Yanli also used his actions to show them that what he said was not empty talk. No one stepped onto the city wall that Zong Yanli was guarding.

The long knife in her hand is as terrifying as the scythe of the god of death. Anyone who gets close to her will either die or be injured!

When the long sword was swung, not only were heads falling off, but also broken limbs and body parts were flying everywhere. It can be seen how powerful the force was. Even our soldiers were frightened and retreated.

Zong Yanli walked down stepping on the corpse. Only then did everyone see that Zong Yanli had been pierced by arrows in his shoulders and arms, and there was a knife wound on his thigh. Despite such injuries, he did not retreat at all.

All of a sudden, the soldiers were shocked and looked up at Zong Yanli with admiration. With a little sob in their throats, they walked forward and called out, "Young General..."

“General!” Monkie rushed over with blood all over his face and shouted, “General, go and have a look! Wen Nian has gone crazy!”

Zong Yanli walked back silently with his long sword in hand. As he walked, he stretched out his hand and gritted his teeth to break the arrow on his shoulder. When he reached the other end of the city wall, he saw Wen Nian holding a spear with bloodshot eyes, waving the spear fiercely with a bloodthirsty look on his face.

Monk wiped the blood off his face and said, "He injured four or five soldiers guarding the city. We can't do anything to him."

Monkie wanted to step forward and subdue him, but the mad Wen Nian was as strong as Zong Yanli. After fighting with him twice, Monkie's arms were sore. If it weren't for Pei Liang's help, he would have been injured!

Zong Yanli's eyes were deep, his lips were slightly cracked as he said, "Call Pei Liang."

"General." Pei Liang came over, Zong Yanli raised his chin and said, "Cooperate with me later and let Wen Nian hurt me."

"What!?" Pei Liang was shocked when he heard that and looked at Zong Yanli in disbelief.

"I asked a doctor, and he told me that when I was young I witnessed my entire family being slaughtered, and that I might have been traumatized and ended up like this today. If I were living in a peaceful and prosperous time, I would have comforted myself and rested."

"But..." Zong Yanli closed his eyes. In such a chaotic world, he had joined the army and there was no peace at all.

In that case, let’s give it a try.

Zong Yanli believed that he and Wen Nian had a very close friendship as they spent every day together, and that Wen Nian must now regard him as a family member.

So, if he hurt himself, would this stimulation possibly wake him up?

Pei Liang's expression changed again and again. Seeing that Zong Yanli was already injured, he found it unreasonable: "General, are you taking such a risk just for such a general?"

Pei Liang didn't know what kind of emotion was in his heart. Perhaps he was selfish. He thought that with Zong Yanli's current status and position, it would not be difficult for him to recruit a brave general like Wen Nian, even if there was no such brave person as Wen Nian.

There are others who are no less capable than Wen Nian, an uncontrollable, bloodthirsty maniac. Why would he risk his life? It would be better to kill him to prevent future troubles.

"If you were in this situation, I would do my best to save you from the dire straits." Zong Yanli looked straight ahead and said calmly.

Pei Liang was shocked when he heard this. He opened his mouth and looked at Zong Yanli but remained silent for a long time.

If someone else had said this, perhaps Pei Liang would have thought that it was just empty talk to mislead people.

Can……

Looking at Zong Yanli in front of him, he felt for no reason that if that day really came, Zong Yanli would really do the same.

Pei Liang lowered his head, clenched his hands and thought with a sneer, how could he be able to assist such a general in such a muddy and chaotic world? No wonder so many people tried their best to become his subordinates. Was it really just because of his outstanding bravery?

"General, how do you want me to cooperate?" Pei Liang took a deep breath, and when he raised his head again, his expression was different.

When Zong Yanli walked forward with a knife in hand, Wen Nian, who was in a frenzy, really didn't recognize him and stabbed at him with the spear in his hand with extremely fierce force.

Monk and the others didn't think much about it. After all, Zong Yanli had dealt with Wen Nian very easily many times, so no one tried to stop him. They just watched Zong Yanli raise the long sword in his hand. They expected that Zong Yanli could easily block Wen Nian's attack.

However, what no one expected was that the long sword in Zong Yanli's hand was suddenly knocked away by Wen Nian's spear.

"General, be careful!" A shocking scene appeared. The spear in Wen Nian's hand stabbed straight towards Zong Yanli's throat. Pei Liang drew his bow and shot an arrow. The arrow hit the body of Wen Nian's spear, causing it to deflect by two points. Zong Yanli ducked at this critical moment.

laugh!

The spear suddenly pierced through Zong Yanli's shoulder, and the pull out brought up a piece of flesh and blood.

Zong Yanli grabbed Wen Nian's spear with his backhand. Pei Liang, Meng Qi and others behind him saw this scene and rushed forward with an angry roar.

"Wen Nian! How dare you!" Monkie angrily punched Wen Nian with both fists.

"Wow!" Wen Nian suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood under the heavy blow. Pei Liang and Qian Zhixing tied Wen Nian up directly.

"General!" Lu Hao's face turned pale with horror, and he turned around and shouted, "Call the military doctor!"

Zong Yanli covered her neck with her hands. The blood gushing out of her neck was so horrifying. The other side of her shoulder was pierced by a spear so that she couldn't even raise her hand. The long knife fell to the ground and she knelt in front of Wen Nian.

Wen Nian, who was captured by countless people, was pressed to the ground. Zong Yanli's figure was reflected in his scarlet eyes. The blood mist in front of him seemed to dissipate, and Zong Yanli's figure and face became clearer and clearer. There seemed to be a huge roar coming from his ears.

His heart was beating violently, and he finally saw clearly.

Seeing Zong Yanli kneeling in front of him, covered in blood, he seemed disappointed? He looked at him with pity, and then fell down in front of him.

Lying together with his spear, the bright red bloodstain on his neck seemed to have merged with the deep red blood on the tip of the spear.
