Martial Cultivator

The flames of war started early.

On the northern Great Wall, the soldiers of the border army had been ready for battle.

In the first battle, the casualties on the Gufengkou line were the smallest, but this time the palace soldiers were transferred to the border army, and the replenishment of soldiers here was the largest, a full 30%.

It is not that after the replenishment of 30% of the soldiers, the number of defenders at Gufengkou will be more than before, but some of the border soldiers originally stationed at Gufengkou have been transferred to the Moon Watching Platform and the General's Mansion, one for 10% and the other for 20%.

The reason why the General's Mansion did this is obvious. Among the three passes, the most important one is the General's Mansion, followed by the Moon Watching Platform, and finally Gufengkou.

The dispatch of the border soldiers also shows that the General's Mansion did not put Gufengkou in the first place from the beginning.

In fact, this is also normal. Among the three passes, Gufengkou has the highest cost and the smallest results.

Therefore, in every battle, Gufengkou generally has the smallest casualties, because the demon clan does not care much about it.

Captain Li Tian was in a bad mood these days. As a captain of the border army of the Liang Dynasty, he should have 300 men under his command.

In the first battle, the casualties of his soldiers were not high, with only more than 30 people killed in the battle. After the battle, he thought that the soldiers from the state government would come to the border army, and it would not be a big deal to give him these 30 people. He could still train those soldiers into elites.

But the general's mansion kept transferring orders, and 200 of his remaining 260 people were transferred to the general's mansion. Originally, he had no objection to the transfer of his headquarters to the general's mansion or the Moon Watching Platform. Although the two passes were more dangerous, since he was a soldier protecting the land, he could die anywhere. But this time, the general's mansion only transferred his soldiers and left him, the captain, at Gufengkou.

This confused Li Tian. If he was not just a captain with only 300 men under his command, he even wondered if he had let the general's mansion think that he was self-reliant.

Afterwards, he protested, but it was obvious that there was no result.

He could only helplessly accept the more than 200 people, more than 200 palace soldiers, that the general's mansion had transferred to him.

Looking at those mostly young people, Li Tian sighed and often had a stern face on the city wall these days.

He wanted to be happy, but he couldn't be happy.

It would be fine if there was no war, but once there was a war, how many of these 200 people would survive? Li Tian didn't dare to think about such a thing.

A young soldier in his early twenties happened to be on duty next to Li Tian today. He was always bold. Others did not dare to talk to the captain who often had a stern face, but he did not care. He had nothing to do at this moment, so he took a few steps closer and asked with courage: "Captain Li, where are you from?"

Li Tian was originally in deep thought, and only came back to his senses when he heard this sudden voice. However, before he could speak, the young soldier here said to himself: "We were talking about it the other day. Captain Li's accent is a bit like that of Bailuxu, that is, there are many scholars there, and not many soldiers."

Li Tian glanced at the boy and did not intend to pay attention to him, but he still said inexplicably: "My mother is from Bailuxu, what about you?"

The young soldier had heard that Captain Li had a bad temper, and was prepared for him to ignore him or scold him. Now he heard that Li Tian not only answered this question, And his attitude seemed to be quite good. He suddenly opened up and said, "My name is Li Nian'an. My family lives in Zhuyu County, Weizhou. It's only a hundred miles away from Tianqing County where the garrison commander made his fortune."

"Then we might be a family in our previous life."

Li Tian smiled, "How old are you this year? Judging from your face, I'm afraid you're not even 25?"

Li Nian'an smiled and said, "Twenty-three, but I joined the army at the age of eighteen and served as a soldier in Weizhou Prefecture for five years!"

Li Tian looked at the boy's smug expression and couldn't help scolding, "What are you proud of? I've been working for twenty years, all in the frontier army!"

Li Nian'an was startled and his momentum was a little weak, but after all, he was a young man, so he subconsciously said, "Then why is he still a captain?"

Li Tian was startled and turned his head to look at the boy in front of him. At this moment, his face really sank, and there was a deep scar on his face, which was quite oppressive.

Li Nian'an was so nervous that he couldn't speak.

After a long while, Li Tian smiled and said, "I am not talented. I have been a warrior in the sea of ​​suffering for the past 20 years. I can't even see the edge of the other side. If I am lucky, I can only be a lieutenant in this life. It's just a dream to be a general."

Although there is no fixed number for titles such as lieutenant and captain in the border army, some of these soldiers will give them the title of general, but in fact, in their eyes, only by crossing the threshold of lieutenant can they be truly called generals.

Li Tian patted Li Nian'an on the shoulder and smiled, "I have led a lot of soldiers in the past 20 years, but no one can climb above the captain. If you are really capable, let alone other things, if you can become a lieutenant in the future, it will be a great honor for me."

Li Nian'an patted his chest and said loudly, "Of course!"

"By the way, why do you want to be a soldier?"

Li Tian suddenly changed the subject and squinted his eyes and said, "It can't be just the four words of defending the country, right?"

Li Nian'an chuckled and said honestly: "There must be this reason, but at the beginning, I just wanted to let the girl I like admire me and know that I, Li Nian'an, am not a coward. I am never the same as those idle guys!"

"Silly boy!"

Li Tian laughed and scolded, then looked at the young man in front of him seriously, and said softly: "Remember, it doesn't matter whether you can become a lieutenant or not. You have to live, try to survive, and finally return to your hometown, find a wife, and live a good life."

"Of course, what I said is not to tell you to be greedy for life and fear death on the battlefield and be a turtle!"

Li Tian patted the guy's shoulder again, and then he was going to look somewhere else.

Li Nian'an was still nodding, but suddenly remembered something at this moment, and asked curiously: "Captain Li, is your hometown really in Bailuzhou?"

Li Tian did not answer, but just went away on his own.

Bailuzhou?

In fact, the captains and lieutenants of Gufengkou all knew that the lieutenant named Li Tian was a native descendant of a general, from the Li family. There were many powerful people in the border army.

The most famous one was called Li Changling, who was the uncle of Li Li!

But even so, he was still a lieutenant for ten years.

In these ten years, he rushed to the front line in countless battles as long as it was his turn.

And such a guy who never relied on the elders of his family died on the top of the city in this cold winter.

In the wind and snow, Li Li was stabbed through the body by a demon soldier who jumped onto the top of the city, but before the demon soldier could draw out his knife, he turned around and cut the demon soldier's neck with a knife.

Before they both fell, Li Li opened his eyes that were almost blind and looked at the young soldier Li Nian'an in the distance.

In fact, during the last chat that day, this Lieutenant Li had one thing he didn't say, that is, he had never left the northern border and wanted to see the scenery in the south.

But there was no chance.

As for Li Nian'an, he didn't last long and also died on the top of the city.

Compared with Lieutenant Li, the death of this little soldier probably wouldn't attract too much attention, just like the thousands of other soldiers who died on the top of the city.

...

...

A flash of sword energy suddenly flashed on the top of the city, and then a demon king's head was smashed on the top of the city.

The surrounding border soldiers shouted, and their morale was boosted. Those demon soldiers suddenly had a hint of irritability in their eyes.

The battlefield has always been like this. If a strong man from one side dies, it will inevitably make the morale of one side soar and the morale of the other side low.

Then on the top of the city, a blue-shirted sword fairy appeared, holding a sword and standing on the top of the city.

The flying sword as thin as a cicada's wing is called the cicada, and it is dripping blood at this moment.

Great Sword Immortal Liu Banbi.

This blue-shirted sword immortal, who was originally a scholar and now a great sword immortal, glanced at the city. His face was a little pale, and he narrowed his eyes and looked at the demon priest in the middle of the army.

Liu Banbi, who had already killed a demon king with his sword, was now unstable, but in fact he also noticed that there were not many demon kings on the side of Gufengkou.

At this moment, almost all of them had already fought with them, and there was only the high priest in the army.

After thinking for a while, Liu Banbi said decisively in his heart: "Palace Master, can you lend me a hand?"

The Palace Master of Wantian Palace was fighting with a demon king at the moment. Hearing Liu Banbi's words, he immediately understood the idea of ​​this great swordsman. He was just a little hesitant, "It may not be easy for Liu Jianxian to kill the high priest with a sword. This person's realm should not be low."

Liu Banbi smiled casually, "At least 70% sure that this high priest will not survive."

The Palace Master of Wantian Palace was stunned, but actually understood what Liu Banbi meant. He sighed, "It doesn't have to be like this, right?"

"This person is the commander-in-chief. Once he dies, the demon army will definitely be in chaos. At that time, maybe I We can still take advantage of the chaos to fight our way out of the city... Even if we can't, we will take the initiative. "

Liu Banbi took a deep breath and said calmly: "Liu has been in the northern border for more than ten years. I have long put life and death aside. It's just that I have always been lucky. Now, it is a good way to die."

"Besides... I may not die."

Liu Banbi has said this, and the master of Wantian Palace did not say much. He spread out a huge Bagua Dao map with one hand, blocking the punch of the demon king's Dharma image here, and then the master of Wantian Palace went to the top of the city all of a sudden, rolled up his Taoist robe, and a mighty Taoist energy rushed to his face, directly knocking over the demon soldiers along the way.

And the high priest who looked at the majestic Taoist energy just narrowed his eyes and took a deep breath.
