In order to save himself, the prince summoned 100,000 dragon riders at the start.

offstage.

Seeing Zhou Linglong's reaction, the man became even more excited!

Haha!

None of the officials in the court answered, but he stepped forward.

Not only did he ease the empress's embarrassment, he also helped her out of a difficult situation.

He must have already earned the Empress's gratitude and appreciation!

"Your Majesty, please rest assured! Your subject, Zhao Kuanying, will surely eliminate the traitor Lu Yuan and uphold the law!"

Zhao Kuanying, his face full of excitement, loudly promised with his neck bulging!

Zhao Kuanying is exceptionally talented; he is the youngest half-saint in the Great Zhou Dynasty!

Lu Yuan is nothing more than a nobody.

Even if they have some ability.

With him in charge, wouldn't it be a piece of cake to capture them?

After he achieved great merit and gained the Empress's trust, he became one of her trusted advisors.

He might one day gain the Empress's favor and then enter the Empress's palace to rule the Great Zhou Dynasty together with the Empress!

In the end... they might even be able to turn the tables and take control!

He turned this Great Zhou Dynasty into the Zhao family's domain!

however.

Zhao Kuanying, caught up in his triumph, was completely oblivious.

The other court officials looked at him as if he were a fool.

"The Duke of Wu, with his illustrious reputation, how could he have such a foolish son..."

"He's supposed to be a half-saint, but all his martial prowess must have gone into his head!"

"But it's fine, let that brainless Zhao Kuanying scout ahead and find out the true strength of that Prince of Zhenbei!"

.....

Amidst the ulterior motives of both the emperor and his ministers.

Zhao Kuanying still mustered 200,000 Imperial Guards to reinforce Yumen Pass!

.......

Yumen Pass.

Among the group of shadow guards, the one with the lowest cultivation level was a Martial Emperor.

Therefore, infiltrating Yumen Pass was an easy task!

"Yingmo, I'll infiltrate the military camp first and search for the enemy commander's whereabouts!"

"You lead your men to seize the city gate! And those giant crossbows that the lord fears, destroy them all if you can!"

"understood!"

Yingmo's voice remained cold and indifferent as he responded.

After giving instructions to Yingmo, Yuxiang transformed into the appearance of a garrison officer.

Immediately, they darted deeper into the pass!

Looking at Yu Xiang's back.

A resolute glint suddenly flashed in Yingmo's exposed eyes!

This is the first task assigned to me by my lord.

I must complete it perfectly!

"Shadow One! You lead two teams to destroy the giant crossbows on the city wall!"

"The rest of you, come with me to seize the city gate!"

"This operation must succeed; failure is not an option!"

"Yes!"

As Yingmo gave the order in a low voice.

The group of shadow guards quickly split up and began their separate operations!

One by one, their figures disappeared into the shadows!

.....

On the city wall.

The entire city wall, stretching for over ten miles, was under heavy guard.

Countless soldiers are on high alert!

only.

The soldiers' attention was entirely focused on the area outside the pass.

After all, not far from the pass was Lu Yuan's mighty army of over 100,000 men!

Some soldiers gripped their weapons nervously, their hands sweating profusely.

however.

But they didn't notice.

at this time.

Death has quietly descended upon them!

"Pfft!"

Several sounds of blood gushing out rang out.

Next to a giant crossbow.

The soldiers who were operating the giant crossbow had already been decapitated!

"Destructive Giant Crossbow!"

The shadow guards, who had been hiding in the shadows, suddenly revealed themselves.

After several more fierce attacks, the fragile ballista was reduced to a pile of fragments!

Meanwhile, on the entire city wall...

The same scene is happening wherever there are ballistae!

at last!

Finally, someone spotted the Shadow Guards on the city wall, which stretched for over ten miles!

"Enemy attack!"

A shrill roar erupted, and the entire city wall instantly descended into chaos!

The sounds of shouting, fighting, and screams of pain were incessant!

"Quickly! Break through the city gate's key point!"

Seeing the commotion, Yingmo's movements quickened considerably!

As the hub that controls the city gates, it is, after all, a crucial location.

Here.

A force of several hundred elite soldiers is on duty!

The leading general is a Martial Grandmaster!

Upon seeing Yu Mo and the others appear, General Wu Zong stepped forward with a fierce expression:

"Hmph! How dare you trespass here!"

"I'd like to see how many of you... uh?"

General Wuzong wanted to say a few more harsh words.

Who knows.

The scene before him nearly shattered his spirits!

I saw.

A single breath.

General Wuzong only saw a fleeting, breathtaking flash of cold light.

next second.

The hundreds of soldiers who had been standing ready suddenly fell down in unison!

"Bang bang bang..."

The body fell to the ground, kicking up plumes of dust.

Upon closer inspection.

All that could be seen was a bright line of blood on each person's neck!

And in front of everyone.

A petite man in black was bending over, ready to draw his knife!

"This...this is impossible!"

Upon seeing this, General Wuzong was filled with disbelief!

But just as he was about to say something, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his neck!

I reached out and touched it; there was a large amount of blood!

"Uh..."

General Wuzong opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he fell down unwillingly.

"I hate people who talk too much."

"Except my lord."

Yingmo coldly withdrew the dagger from his hand.

"Open the city gates and welcome our lord into the city!"

......

Within the pass.

The commander guarding Yumen Pass was a marquis named Li Shun.

At the same time, he is also a peak Martial Grandmaster!

The inner camp.

"I can't believe that good-for-nothing Lu Yuan actually made it this far!"

"One hundred thousand troops..."

A hint of apprehension appeared on Li Shun's face.

The name of Lu Yuan, the good-for-nothing, is known throughout the entire Northern Region!

But who would have thought.

He was a good-for-nothing back then, but now he's leading an army of 100,000 to knock on our gates!

At this time.

The adjutant beside Li Shun said in a comforting tone:

"General, we don't need to worry too much!"

"We have already requested aid from the imperial court. Now all we need to do is hold Yumen Pass and patiently wait for reinforcements!"

"Our 50,000-strong garrison is based at the formidable pass."

"Even if Lu Yuan has 100,000 troops, he absolutely cannot break through!"

The lieutenant said confidently.

This Jade Gate Pass was once a formidable stronghold against the northern barbarians!

Lu Yuan only has 100,000 troops; how could he be so easily defeated!

Who knows.

The deputy general had just given a confident guarantee.

The next second, however, he was quickly proven wrong!

"General, it's terrible! The city gates have been breached!"

A captain covered in blood suddenly ran in in a panic!

"What did you say!?"

Hear the words.

Li Shun and his deputy were so startled that they jumped up from their seats!

"Say it again, the city gates have been breached?"

The lieutenant's excited voice almost distorted.

The captain, with a mournful face, nodded and said:

"Yes! A group of men in black have infiltrated from somewhere, and they are all super strong!"

"They were wreaking havoc on the crossbows on the city walls, and almost no one could stop them!"

"They even...they even took over the city gates!"

"Now those men in black have opened the city gates wide, and Lu Yuan's iron cavalry has successfully stormed into the pass!"

Upon hearing the captain's words, Li Shun suddenly felt a shortness of breath!

A wave of dizziness and blurred vision washed over me!

The cavalry entered the pass...

No one understood what this meant better than these generals!

So... they've lost?

He hadn't even had a chance to go up to the city wall to oversee the battle yet!

"General...should we retreat?"

At this moment, the deputy general standing to the side shrank his neck and said.

Lu Yuan is so fierce!

Yumen Pass was a formidable fortress, yet it was breached in less than half an hour!

"Retreat...retreat!"

Li Shun also started to panic.

just now.

He finally understood.

Why was Li Weiming and his 100,000 Imperial Guards wiped out by Lu Yuan?

It’s so scary!

Lu Yuan's troops are simply inhuman!
