Chapter 75 Chapter 75: Battle of the Tigers (12)

The strangest thing was the Xiatang reinforcements that finally set off on October 7th. The reinforcements led by the commander-in-chief of the three armies, Tuoba Shanyue, had been preparing for a month.For a month, Tuoba Shanyue, one of the four famous generals in the Eastern Continent, actually only did things like raising horse fodder and preparing horses for the convoy.And when his army marched halfway, the last tragic battle at Shangyang Pass was over. Despite all the explanations, the facts of history are still unconvincing.On the eve when the generals of the Yin Empire were about to fall together, the huge empire failed to provide them with any effective support.

On September 16th of the third year of Emperor Yincheng, the sky over Shangyang Pass was pale, and Bai Yi stood at the top of the city and looked north, which was the direction of the imperial capital. All the commanders of the armies of the various countries were present, and soldiers from the six countries stood on the city wall.These people saw with their own eyes that the huge phalanx slowly advanced to a place only five hundred steps away from them, and then stopped.Without exception, these phalanxes carried the banner of the flame rose, and every soldier was well-armored and well-equipped.The soldiers of the royal family did not greet the army of King Qin in Shangyang Pass, but erected wooden fences, sprinkled barbed caltrops, and raised 20,000 crossbows behind the wooden fences.

Their crossbows pointed south, towards the gate of Shangyang Pass. "The reinforcements from Xia Tang and Chu Wei have not arrived, and General Hua has retreated north, but these people have come." Gang Wuwei whispered. "We seem to have been forgotten." Xi Yan shook his head and smiled wryly. "No, they haven't been forgotten, they care about it." Gu Yueyi pointed at the royal army in the distance, "They came prepared, look at their crossbows, they are not ordinary things, if we charge head-on, we will The loss will be severe." "Facing the frontal charge?" Xi Yan sneered, "Can we launch a charge against the Royal Habayashi Heavenly Army and the Jinwu Guard?"

"I don't care about the fucking emperor..." Cheng Kui wanted to say something, but couldn't say it in the end. He stomped his feet hard, turned around and left. "We can't be forced to a dead end. At that time, we can't control anything." Gu Yueyi whispered. The sound of war horses wailing came from far away in the city, which made people's hearts ache.Gu Yueyi's face darkened, he was a cavalryman, and like Cheng Kui, he loved horses.He knew that was killing horses, they had exhausted the last rice noodles, and now the only thing that could solve the military rations was war horses, and it was indeed difficult for them to even get horse grass.

"The imperial mission of the royal family ran away in time." Xi Yan said, "The royal family is lining up behind us, do you have any written instructions?" "Order our army to forcibly guard Shangyang Pass and not retreat... Since the zombie mutation is too miraculous, our army is not allowed to leave Shangyang Pass, let alone enter the imperial capital, so as not to bring ominousness into the apocalypse. "Bai Yi's voice was hoarse, "This is an order I received." "Is this an order? You have to obey such an order?" Gang Wuwei asked in a low voice.

"Everyone is trapped here, but you should still be able to receive letters from your respective lords with pigeons, so I dare to ask you, which lord wrote to the generals now, asking us to open the north gate and launch an attack on the royal army? Or allow us to abandon the city and escape?" Bai Yi looked around the crowd. Everyone froze for a moment, then shook their heads and sighed. "Yes, so we have to obey. Whether it is your lord or the royal family, we are required to do the same thing at present. We have no choice but to insist." Bai Yi's voice lowered, "Even now, everyone turned into our enemy!"

"Is there really someone who wants to let the famous generals of Donglu die in the same battle?" Xi Yan smiled coldly, looking around the crowd, "I'm afraid it's not that easy." He gently stroked his sword hilt, his eyes were as bright as a torch: "Those who want to do this must first know why we became famous generals!"
