Zongwu: Start as Jinyiwei, invincible and powerful!

The sun sets, night falls, the woods and valleys are dark, and the stars and moon are dim.

Dozens of floating bridges connect the river surface. If the moonlight is scattered, you can definitely see people gathering on the floating bridges.

The Northern Mang Army had previously dug a crisscross of troop transport tunnels on the Xiongshan battlefield. Taking advantage of the moonlight being blocked, the surprise attack troops rushed directly to a mile away from the pass.

This distance allows the entire field army to rush to the city. If it is closer, the passage will be destroyed by the defenders inside the city.

Hong Jingyan stood on a high mound overlooking the entire battlefield. He waited for the vanguard troops to be ready. Then he addressed the messenger beside him, "Begin the battle! No retreat is permitted without my orders. Anyone facing away from the pass will be executed."

The military order was issued and the army began to advance in an orderly manner towards the Xiongshan Pass.

Until the end of the passage, countless Beimang soldiers came out one after another, and their shouts and cries were like thunder, resounding throughout the battlefield.

“No matter how many times I watch it, the scene of soldiers risking their lives still makes my heart surge.”

Hong Jingyan turned his head and said to Tuoba Jingang, although the person next to him was of high status, he was able to talk to him freely.

He was born in the Six Arts Prefecture of Beimang, and was the leader of the Rouran Iron Cavalry, known as the 'King of the Rouran Iron Cavalry'. He was extremely skilled in cavalry combat, and had the potential to compete with Tuoba Jin Gang in the military.

He didn't understand why only Tuoba Jingang came. The other party's army was brave and invincible. It would be easy for them to cross the Sanggan River defense line. There was no need to hide it like this.

If the terrain of the Sanggan River had not been complex and unsuitable for cavalry assaults, he would have led his troops into the enemy camp long ago. Why would he have had to stay at the Sanggan River for more than two months?

Tuoba Jin Gang closed his eyes to rest. It was not the right time for him to take action yet. He replied, "Once the war starts, the scoundrels in various places will act recklessly. We need absolute strength to deter them."

The system of Beimang is different from that of other countries. It is divided into the Southern Dynasty and the Northern Imperial Court. Although the Southern Dynasty is controlled by the Northern Imperial Court, its control cannot be said to be very strong. Each state also has a Jiedushi who holds military and political power.

If the situation changes slightly, the local governors will become reckless. If there is no strong force to support them, chaos will sooner or later arise in the Northern Wilderness.

Hong Jingyan nodded. This was a long-standing problem in Beimang.

Tuoba Jin Gang saw what the other party was thinking and continued, "I left Beimang this time to go to the front line because the war situation was at a stalemate. The Great Zhou Marshal you are facing is still wandering around Beimang. After dealing with the frontline, I will return to Beimang and take charge of the imperial court."

"That Great Zhou Marshal is really playful. He abandoned his vast army and dared to enter the Northern Wilds alone."

Hong Jingyan sneered disdainfully, thinking that with only one person, there was no need to disrupt the rear of Beimang.

Instead, Tuoba Jin Gang shook his head, handed the latest information to the other party, and said in a deep voice: "That person's strength is unfathomable. Your Six Arts Palace Master has already met him and determined that his cultivation is at the level of unity between heaven and man. He cannot be underestimated."

Hong Jingyan's expression changed drastically. He knew the strength of his own mansion master very well. The fact that someone could be considered dangerous by the mansion master was enough to show how powerful the other person was.

"That Great Zhou Marshal was able to destroy Daomaguan Pass single-handedly. I don't know what his true purpose is, but he has already threatened the safety of the imperial court. I cannot stay on the front lines for long."

The meaning of Tuoba Jin Gang's words was very clear. This military god and his elite subordinates must never leave Beimang. Even if they die, they must die in Beimang.

With a "click" and a dull sound, the gate of Xiongshan Pass was pushed open.

Countless Beiwei soldiers formed a battle formation and slowly walked to the front of the formation. Among them was a middle-aged general riding a white horse to lead the formation.

The large black flag with gold letters was unfurled in the army.

This scene made Hong Jingyan stunned. The other party did not defend the pass and fight back as expected, but instead came out to meet the enemy, which was very unusual.

In the Northern Mang camp, a general saw the gates of the Xiongshan Pass wide open and was immediately overjoyed. He pointed at the large flag and shouted, "Hahaha! The enemy must be deserted, as they would actually come out to fight. Brothers, follow me and charge into the pass..."

As soon as he finished speaking, before he could spur his horse and whip it, an arrow flew past and the whole person on the horse turned into a bloody mist.

The Northern Mang soldiers were terrified and all looked towards the general on the white horse.

Yue Fei put down his precious bow, raised his spear and shouted: "The front troops will engage the enemy, and the rear troops will release their arrows!"

In an instant, a rain of arrows flew into the Beimang army formation, causing countless blood flowers to appear.

The Beimang army also began to move, and countless figures rushed towards the city.

However, an accident happened. When the Beimang soldiers ran to a distance of dozens of meters from the city wall, they suddenly felt their feet empty and fell directly into the ditch that had been dug in advance.

This ravine is not too deep, only half a person's height, and can be crossed with a little effort, but it is wide enough, with a distance of dozens of meters from front to back.

The Beiwei Army, which was at the forefront, advanced, carrying large shields half a meter high and standing beside the ravine. This made it difficult for the Beimang Army that fell into the ravine to climb out for a while.

Behind the big shield stood a swordsman, who swung his axe and chopped it down fiercely. The Northern Mang soldiers in the ravine had nowhere to hide, and heads flew everywhere with blood flowing.

Time passed slowly, and before long, the bottom of the ravine was covered with layers of corpses of the Northern Mang Army, making it impossible for the soldiers rushing up from behind to jump out of the ravine just by bending down.

At this time, Yue Fei gave another order, and the front army retreated back to the pass.

The Northern Mang Army followed closely behind, but when they rushed to the city wall, they were blocked by countless rolling logs, rocks, and kerosene.

Until the Beiwei army retreated back to the pass, the gate was closed again.

What followed was another extremely bloody siege, which took two hours before the gate was breached by the Northern Mang Army.

However, the Beimang army who had just rushed into the gate were stunned when they saw the scene before them.

Beyond the city gate, there are inner trenches, and the trenches are very narrow, making it difficult to take advantage of the larger number of troops.

Behind the moat, there is an inner city. The inner and outer cities are connected, with a moat in the middle for transporting troops.

In hand-to-hand combat, the Beiwei Army is the best in the world.

The Beimang Army's countless charges were all blocked by the Beiwei Army. There were so many corpses that the trenches were filled, making it difficult to even move forward.

Tuoba Jin Gang on the distant hill opened his eyes, it was time for him to take action.

Without waiting for Hong Jingyan to speak, he rode down the hill on horseback, rushed into the Beimang formation, and broke into the pass.

Yue Fei's eyes fixed, and he ordered the Beiwei Army to advance quickly and stop Tuoba Jin Gang, and then he rode his horse to meet them.

Tuoba Jin Gang was quite decisive. He swung his halberd and cut off the man and shield together. He whispered, "This weapon isn't very handy, but it's enough."

He activated the late stage of the state of unity between man and nature and poured a huge amount of true energy into the halberd in his hand.

The war spear made a low humming sound and seemed to be falling apart, unable to withstand Tuoba Jingang's full strength.

Tuoba Jin Gang knew that he could not delay any longer, so he jumped over several trenches, swung the spear in his hand, and smashed it hard on the inner city.

The next second, the heaven and earth shook, huge rocks and sand flew all over the sky, the inner city walls collapsed, and the surrounding mountains shook, and countless rocks rolled down, as if to bury the entire valley.

Xiongshan Pass was broken!

The halberd in Tuoba Jingang's hand had long since turned into broken iron, and he looked at the ruined Xiongshan Pass with satisfaction.

Although his attack caused little loss to the Beiwei Army, it showed the attitude of the Beimang Army.

Since Lin Fan can destroy their Beimang Daoma Pass, he can also destroy Xiongshan Pass with a sword!

Just when he thought the situation was settled, the sound of countless iron hooves shaking the earth rang out, and war drums and flags filled the mountains and plains.

The largest military flag had inscribed on its front: Great Zhou Black Armor!

"Great Zhou's brave general Wang Li is here, the Northern Mang thieves must stop running rampant!"
