First Lord of Earth

The entrance to a cave.

Hundreds of chariots are arranged in a seemingly messy arrangement, covered with traces of crossbows, arrows, and swords. They pile up together to show a tragic battlefield scene!

Ten Xianbei soldiers with messy hair, wearing animal skin armor, holding swords and cowhide shields in their hands, carefully entered the chariot area and groped forward!

"superior!"

Suddenly, several soldiers wearing exquisite gray armor appeared behind the riddled chariot, holding gold-colored "strong crossbows" that were half a man's height on their arms.

With the sound of bowstrings, metal arrows shot through the air, falling like cannonballs on these Xianbei people.

A Xianbei soldier didn't even have time to react. The small crossbow arrow seemed to contain a huge and powerful impact.

Not only did it accurately hit the Xianbei soldier's vitals, it even drove the body into the corner of the chariot next to it, causing his head to explode and blood to flow all over the ground!

"Ho, Han!"

Only the ten captains of Xianbei responded quickly.

A "spiritual armor" instantly appeared on his body, resisting the first wave of attacks from the opposite side.

A rusty sword in his hand was shrouded in gray light, and he slashed out a sword aura several meters long.

Wherever they passed, the speed of the crossbow arrows was greatly reduced. When approaching their own side, they even lost power and fell to the ground!

However, the Han raid had already caused the loss of most of the remaining Xianbei soldiers.

"You guys, damn it!"

The angry Xianbei captain's messy hair danced wildly, and the sword in his hand exuded strong killing intent. He jumped up and rushed towards several soldiers like a lion on the grassland.

Its strength is impressively at the quasi-extraordinary level!

However, just as his figure was flying in the air.

puff!

Suddenly, a crossbow arrow larger than the crossbows in the hands of several soldiers struck at him. The latter's expression changed drastically and he waved his sword in an attempt to resist, but to no avail.

The spirit soldier-level sword in his hand was not only instantly shattered by the crossbow arrows, but also exploded like a cannonball under the impact, leaving his body riddled with holes.

After landing, there was no sound.

The body was reduced to ashes, leaving only a pile of copper-colored catastrophe beads of different sizes on the ground!

"General!"

Several soldiers spoke with respectful expressions on their faces.

"Clean up the battlefield."

The speaker was a young military general who looked young but had a determined expression.

The Han Dynasty-style armor he wore was covered with various lights and shadows of swords, revealing that he had encountered indescribable battles!

"What are the casualties!"

"Back to my lord, thirty-two people were killed in this battle, about a hundred more were seriously injured, and more than five hundred were slightly injured..."

"There are only one or two hundred people left, are they uninjured?..."

The young general had a look of helplessness on his face.

You know, there are only five thousand people under his command.

Nowadays, everyone has injuries on their bodies, and some even have two or three injuries on their bodies!

"The Xianbei people sent another 50,000 soldiers... Now the total force is twenty times ours..."

A soldier carrying a crossbow said through gritted teeth.

Originally, they faced 30,000 Xianbei cavalry before, although they were at a numerical disadvantage.

However, with the strength of all members who have transformed five times or more, and the powerful weapons and equipment of the Han Dynasty, they still have the upper hand!

But now the opponent's reinforcements have arrived, including several extraordinary generals, so they have to retreat.

But even if we rely on this cave, use chariots to form defenses, and limit the large-scale combat of the opponent's cavalry, the outcome of the next battle is really not optimistic!

"Five thousand people are so similar to 80,000 people. Is the other party deliberately trying to insult me?"

The young general looked at the Xianbei soldiers who died on the ground and turned into ashes, leaving only some red copper beads, with a cold expression on his face.

Five thousand Han infantry versus 80,000 barbarian cavalry.

He has already fought this kind of battle once.

Back then, I was still a rising star in the army of the Han Dynasty. Relying on the reputation of my grandfather, "Flying General" Li Guang, everyone had to give me some face!

Because he did not want to be a grain and grass officer, he asked his majesty to leave the customs with five thousand infantry, intending to go straight to Huanglong and overwhelm Huo Qubing, who had killed his uncle.

After all, one man is like five barbarians!

The Hu people lag far behind the Han people in terms of weapons and fighting methods.

In particular, the soldiers he led were elite soldiers selected from "Danyang County". They were all warriors, extraordinary talents, and swordsmen from the land of Jingchu.

Although there are no war horses, his personal strength is not inferior to that of the "Han Iron Cavalry" that led deep into the desert under the leadership of Huo Qubing, a foreign relative!

Facing the weak Hu people, he naturally has no fear.

With 5,000 infantrymen, he initially encountered the 30,000-strong army of King Zuoxian of the Xiongnu.

He stationed his army between the two mountains, using carts as a fort to form a team. The front row held halberds and shields, and the back row used bows and crossbows, and beat drums as trumpets.

With one command, a thousand crossbows fired in unison!

The Xiongnu soldiers fell in response. After the enemy retreated, they chased with their troops and killed thousands of Xiongnu soldiers in one battle.

The Xiongnu Chanyu was so frightened that he summoned more than 80,000 cavalry from King Zuo Xian and King You Xian to attack together. He had few troops on his side and could only fight and retreat, killing and wounding thousands of Xiongnu people again in the process!

Unfortunately, the infantry lacked mobility and fought hard for days, and the soldiers suffered heavy casualties.

Those who lead these soldiers out of seclusion cannot abandon the wounded and break out alone, so they retreat with the wounded!

Those who were injured in three places were carried in cars, those who were injured in two were driven, and those who were injured in one kept fighting!

We encountered various crises along the way and overcame them one by one.

Fighting and retreating in this way, they persisted until the seventh day, and killed thousands of Huns in total.

He even shot Shanyu repeatedly and almost killed him!

The Huns were frightened and suspected that they were trying to lure the enemy, so they decided to withdraw.

Unexpectedly, there was a traitor in the army. An officer surrendered to the Huns and informed that "the army has no backup and the arrows have been exhausted. Only Zheng Zheng and deputy general Han Yannian, with 800 men each, lined up at the front of the formation... to hold on."

So the Xiongnu came back, with arrows raining down on them.

On his side, all the last arrows in his hands were shot out, and the swords were sharpened... With more than 3,000 soldiers left, they cut off the spokes of the wheels with their bare hands and used them as weapons, and continued the bloody battle with the Huns!

They had no weapons, even threw away their axle load, and had no food. Even if they persisted for eight days and eight nights, they still could not wait for reinforcements.

The deputy general died in despair.

I felt shameless to go back and see His Majesty, so I surrendered to the Huns.

"Now that I think about it, it's really better to die in battle..."

Li Ling had a bit of sadness on his face.

As a general of the Han Dynasty, even if he died in a hard battle without reinforcements, he should not surrender to the barbarians.

Because, this not only dishonored his own reputation, but also harmed his family!

Especially since His Majesty later sent Gongsun Ao to lead troops deep into the Xiongnu territory to pick him up.

Gongsun Ao returned without success and reported to His Majesty, "I heard from the prisoners that Li Ling is helping Shanyu train troops to deal with the Han army, so we can't pick him up."

When His Majesty heard about it, he sentenced his whole family to clan punishment. His mother, brothers and wife were all killed. Even the scholars in Longxi were ashamed that Li Ling could not die without affecting the family!

However, the person who trained troops for the Xiongnu was "Li Xu" and not himself.

Li Xu was originally a captain outside the Great Wall of the Han Dynasty and was stationed in Xihou City. He surrendered when the Xiongnu attacked.

The Chanyu was very courteous to him, and he was still ranked above him. He hated him for training troops for the Huns and causing his whole family to be executed, so he sent someone to assassinate Li Xu.

Unfortunately, family members are dead.

Qianqiu’s reputation is irreversible and cannot be changed!

"You are all the true elites of the Han Dynasty. Without reinforcements, you are one to ten, and your merits are enough to be promoted to captain... It is I, Li Ling, who cannot stand up to you, and I have caused you to follow me and suffer infamy for future generations! "

Li Ling looked at the soldiers around him with apologetic expressions on his face.

These subordinates of mine are all elites from Danyang County. Each one of them can fight a tiger with his bare hands, and the arrows in his hand can accurately hit the eyes and throat of the running Xiongnu!

He was stigmatized because of his surrender, but now he is resurrected in this eternal place.

I originally wanted to clear my name and their names!

But before he could take action, the "Door of Catastrophe" appeared, and a large number of catastrophic creatures swept across like a plague of locusts.

Everyone was forced to hide, hoping that the Xianbei people would still find clues!

In the first battle, they killed more Xianbei people than their own side, and even killed an extraordinary general.

The other party was wary and was unwilling to lose too much troops and generals, so he tried to "persuade" himself to surrender with high-ranking officials and generous salaries. After being rejected continuously.

Now, they attacked with an army of 80,000.

Because of his identity issues, he has not made up his mind to join the human race's territory and influence.

Now, of course, there are no reinforcements, and most of the "weapons and supplies" originally brought when arriving have been consumed, and it may be difficult to survive!

"But there is no way I will surrender to the barbarians this time!"

Li Ling's eyes were firm.

The golden war crossbow in his hand was raised, and an arrow flew out of the air like a cannonball. Before a Xianbei general of the second level of the Extraordinary Realm had time to react, an arrow was poured into his throat!

"Kill, kill, kill..."

And they were also fighting with crossbows from a distance and waving swords at close range.

There is also a soldier from the Han Dynasty who has a resolute face and refuses to retreat even in the face of desperate situations!

[Big Han·Danyang Warriors]

[Level] Golden Troops

[Characteristics] Can be obtained through training: Cutting off aliens (the damage caused to foreign races and non-Chinese people is greatly increased), strong crossbow (carry crossbow arrows as weapons, and when hitting a vital point, the crossbow arrows have the ability to 'kill') , tiger fighting (extremely powerful, proficient in various combat skills, can fight tigers hand-to-hand, tear hungry wolves with hands), fight to the death (under desperate circumstances, the will to fight is further increased, and the combat effectiveness is greatly enhanced)...

[Skills] can be mastered through training: crossbow, sword, mounted archery, hand-to-hand combat...

[Explanation] Each of the elite human soldiers from Danyang County possesses powerful crossbow skills. They once pitted the weak against the strong, frightening the Hun army that was more than ten times their own size!

Danyang has always been rich in elite soldiers.

The Danyang soldiers who were able to kill Hun cavalry several times their size with 5,000 infantry, every one of them was definitely considered an elite!

Even if he faced twenty times as many enemies, he would still kill him repeatedly, with blood flowing and gathering into a river...

At this time, on the hillside outside the battlefield, a figure was lying in the distance watching the battle, but these Xianbei people found no trace of him...

"Catastrophe Creatures?"

Shen Lian, who was wearing Feiyu uniform, had a somewhat surprised expression on his face.

After receiving the information reported by Murong Fu, Bai Yujing attached great importance to it.

They even summoned senior officials and many foreigners on the spot to discuss sending troops!

But the soldiers and horses have not moved, and the intelligence comes first.

As the earliest territory among the human race to form an "intelligence team", Xia Tian certainly couldn't blindly set out on an expedition just because of Murong Fu's words!

As Sun Tzu said.

Soldiers are the place of life and death, and the path to survival must be observed!

Any information obtained may contain errors and needs to be verified.

Otherwise, if you fall into someone else's scheme.

Raising troops and mobilizing a large number of people but returning without success, or even encountering an ambush by the enemy, wouldn't it appear that the human race is incompetent!

Considering this matter, the stakes are very high.

Therefore, Xia Tian directly used the characteristics of the "Emperor's personal army" to send an order to Shen Lian, who was collecting intelligence in the land of catastrophe, to go to the place where Murong Fu said to investigate clearly.

Relying on the characteristics of "Night Walk in Brocade Clothes" and his own extraordinary cultivation in the four realms, Shen Lian can act alone even in a land of catastrophe.

During the search, a human army was accidentally discovered!

However, it is not the human race in the eternal land, but the human race in the catastrophic creature.

"What are these catastrophic creatures going to do...well, let me grab my tongue and ask..."

Shen Lian was puzzled, remembering the information reported by Murong Fu, and fixed his eyes on a dismounted man, hurriedly holding his stomach.

The catastrophe soldiers approaching towards their own area!

…

"Xianbei people, Han people!"

After a few breaths, Shen Lian put away the embroidered spring knife in his hand and shook off the blood on it!

Randomly, the Feiyu suit on his body emitted black and white light and transformed into a set of tattered "Xianbei Leather Armor"

This Feiyu suit is a "spiritual weapon" level item specially manufactured by Pan Jinlian's "Weaving Department" in Bai Yujing.

The silk used is the silk spun by the ice silkworms bred on Wanmei Villa. It is invulnerable to water and fire. It is also the standard equipment for the official members of the "Jin Yiwei" as the Yubai assessment unit. The most important thing is that it has the function of "transformation"!

After transforming your own clothes into these shapes.

Then Shen Lian picked up a bead and swallowed it in one gulp!

There was a shadow in the center of the bead, which looked like the Xianbei soldier who had just been killed.

【Various Orb (Gold)】

[Type] Strange object

[Characteristics] Soul lock (can seal the soul of a creature in it), changeable (swallowing the orb can transform into the appearance of the creature, inherit its memory, thinking, and even cultivation and strength, and can return to its original state after spitting it out)

[Explanation] A very rare and rare item!

At the beginning, the dark elf used this treasure to intervene in the struggle between Bai Yujing and Mirage after the kappa leader "Li Daitaojiang".

Later, the kappa leader was beheaded by Xia Tian, ​​and this treasure fell into Xia Tian's hands.

In order to enable myself to better complete the task.

The Lord of the City specially handed over this "treasure" obtained from the Kappa clan to himself!

Now, let’s try our best.

Sure enough, the face turned into this Xianbei soldier, and his own thinking and even fighting methods were inherited in his mind!

"Well, these Xianbei people are here to besiege the Han people..."

Shen Lian's eyes shone brightly and then narrowed. After a little adaptation, he held the waistband of his pants with one hand and walked back with the weapon in the other hand.

"Bu Liu, what's the matter with you! You've been here for so long, couldn't it be that you went to the reward camp last night because of your meritorious service? It was too much fun, right?"

Several Xianbei people nearby, whose bodies smelled like animals, said with some complaints.

"What are you talking about? The women of the Japanese country are far inferior to the women of the Han Dynasty. They are short and thin, and they have a mortal body. They can't bear it at all. They are not exhausted. How can they be weak? They just have a bad stomach..."

"Bu Liu" said with an unhappy expression on his face.

"You're still talking about it! The Han people are tough and seek life and death at every turn. Your Majesty specially captured hundreds of Japanese soldiers to reward the army. As a result, the two of you were so unlucky yesterday that you suffered heavy bleeding and were hopeless. Before being thrown to feed the horses, she even cursed you. Die with Dugen two..."

"Hmph, what use is the curse of a mere mortal to us who have the blessing of 'Heaven'?"

"Bu Liu" he said nonchalantly, but there was a bit of coldness in his lowered eyes!

"It's impossible to tell. Previously, Dugen was sent to test the Han position. As soon as he got close, a Han crossbow exploded the top of it. He died miserably!"

Another Xianbei soldier shook his head

"Well, are these Han people so powerful?"

These Xianbei soldiers are not weak, their strength is almost above the mortal level, but they were killed by a single arrow?

"Yes, the cultivation of these Han people seems to be undergoing five transformations. It is no small matter. If you sneak in and narrowly escape death, there is a high probability that you will not survive."

"Don't worry, this time we have the artifact given by 'Cang Tian', which is enough for us to get close to each other... Moreover, it is not a bad thing that these Han people are strong... Once we kill them, we can seize powerful luck from them. Not only Not only can your cultivation level be improved, but you can also get additional benefits..."

Shen Lian followed several soldiers who smelled strongly of livestock, and quickly collected information with his ears tilted.

"Come here, everyone, and accept the blessings from heaven..."

A burly Xianbei general with a mace in his hand and a fourth level of extraordinary cultivation stood beside him with a translucent "tent".

"Everyone go in and come out later."

After hearing this, one soldier after another walked through the camp and found that there was nothing strange about his body.

But looking at the surrounding world and those who have not entered the camp, it seems that they have suddenly fallen into some kind of "nihility", as if they were wearing a "gauze garment".

"This is for Void Shayi... In this state, your traces will be hidden and will not be discovered... Your mission now is to take advantage of the battle to sneak in, get rid of the defending soldiers inside, and find out the true identity of these Han people. …”

The Xianbei general, chasing the mace, shouted orders.

Immediately, the Xianbei army once again raised their shields and launched an attack at the entrance of the cave where a large number of chariots were piled up and difficult to pass! (End of chapter)
