It Starts With A Mountain

Chapter 386

Chang'an City.

The No. 1 city in the world back then, is now more chilling. The 100,000 army of the Justice Religion surrounded the city, and looking down from the city head, there were flying Tiantoad swallowing moon flags everywhere.

One of the most conspicuous banners has the word "righteousness" written on it. Everyone understands that under the banner of righteousness is the leader of the Justice Sect. Lin Shaoyu, who was captured and almost beheaded for assassinating Emperor Ming.

Of course, no matter how conspicuous the Yizi flag is, it is still a lot worse than the dragon flag at the head of the city. A red pattern on a yellow background, with a word Li embroidered on it, is now erecting the city head and fluttering in the wind.

One hundred and twenty years ago, the founding emperor of Dawu was under this banner, he fought in the east and the west, and conquered the entire world under the surname Li.

Hundreds of years later, this flag is hung up today, not to fight the country, but to defend the country.

Standing on this banner today is the imperial prince, Li Letian.

From the day when the soldiers of justice came under the city, Emperor Ming fell ill. Indeed, his body was not as good as the day, and the moment was not as good as the moment. At the last minute, he handed over the military power of Chang'an to Li Letian. Everyone understands that if he can hold on to this crisis, Li Letian will be the next emperor of the empire, the owner of 90,000 li of land.

Of course, it's too early to say this, because after today, it's hard to say whether the surname is Li or not.

Today, the Justice Religion is beating drums and sending troops, and some people are calling out under the city gate.

Chang'an is surrounded by mountains, and there is only one entrance to Chang'an from the outside world, which is Fuhu Pass. The man guarding here is the veteran of the empire, Ximen Jun. Fuhu Pass is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

In the same way, as long as you can beat Fuhu Pass, reinforcements will not be able to get through.

Forty days ago, the Justice Religion laid down the Fuhu Pass, and Ximen Jun's head hung on the Fuhu Pass. The Fuhu Pass was broken, and Chang'an had no danger to defend, and could only rely on the elite troops to fortify the city.

The Righteous Religion did not rush to advance, guarding Fuhu Pass but not attacking Chang'an City, but just called the battle under Chang'an City every day, fighting single-handedly.

In the past period of time, there have been more than a dozen battles, and the dragon and tiger generals of the empire have challenged them, but they have been defeated without exception.

Lin Shaoyu has already killed thirteen generals of the empire in a row. This record is enough to shock the world, even surpassing his father who was wrongly killed.

The empire cannot be defeated any longer. If it is defeated again, it will not only lose face, but also people's hearts.

People in Chang'an City were already panicking, and there were rumors that Lin Shaoyu was destined to be a general, blessed by a god in secret, and some big households had quietly contacted the Justice Religion, willing to open the city gate privately and let them into the city.

For these people, Li Letian was directly executed. In the past month or so, a large number of people in Chang'an City have been beheaded. What made Li Letian speechless was that before they died, they shouted that justice will not die, and the demons will die.

And the god they worship is... God of Toads.

This is the most frustrating point for Li Letian.

"The First Prince."

The voice of a man in uniform made Li Letian come back to his senses. This man is a guest of the General's Mansion, his name is Tian Zhijiang, he is thirty years old, but he is at his most energetic time. Although he has yet to appear in front of people, he is a young talent that the General's Mansion has focused on cultivating.

"In this battle, there are many victories and no defeats, how sure are you?" Li Letian.

"Please rest assured, Your Highness, if I go out, I will take Lin Shaoyu's head." Tian Zhijiang said with his head held high.

"Don't be careless. Thirteen famous imperial generals have been defeated by him in succession. Their ability may not be weaker than yours."

"Who is stronger and who is weaker, we can see the difference through this battle." Tian Zhijiang said.

Li Letian nodded and waved his hand: "Play the drum and open the city gate."

The drums were beaten to advance, and the gongs were sounded to retreat. With the beating of the drums, the gates of Chang'an City opened, and Tian Zhijiang, in uniform, rode out of the gates on horseback.

"Crazy ministers and thieves, please come quickly and die!"

Li Letian watched this scene from the top of the city, his expression was a little speechless. The outcome of this battle will most likely determine who will be the future master of the empire. Then, now it's like two urchins fighting. As a result, Li Letian was a bit dumbfounded. The lives and deaths of thousands of people, and the luck of Dawu for more than a hundred years, were really such a funny decision.

I just hope that Tian Zhijiang not only has a strong tone, but also has great ability, and can win against Lin Shaoyu, otherwise, no matter what, the loser will always be ugly.

The drums blared hurriedly, and suddenly a man appeared in the enemy camp, dressed in black and armored with a long spear in his hand. The faster the drums, the faster the horses' hooves, and finally like a black lightning bolt.

Soon, under the gaze of tens of thousands of people, the two horses intersected, and the spear protruded like a black snake.

Tian Zhijiang had never seen a gun so fast, and there was only a lightning bolt left in his pupils, which became more and more urgent and bigger, and then, the long gun pierced his heart, and the expression of astonishment remained on his face forever.

With a thud, Tian Zhijiang's body fell to the ground, and only his mount, Lululu, rushed back to the city gate.

In front of the two armies, Lin Shaoyu used only one move to end Tian Zhijiang. The future general of the empire was strangled by him again.

Li Letian was not surprised by this scene. He had failed so much that he was numb.

This scene has been repeated over and over again. Anyway, the Justice Religion will not attack, and of course, it will not be able to attack Chang'an City.

Suddenly, Lin Shaoyu at the bottom of the city raised his spear and pointed the spear at Li Letian at the top of the city.

Li Letian felt the murderous intention, and sure enough, Lin Shaoyu's ambition was not small, and only killing one Tian Zhijiang could not satisfy his appetite. What he covets is his own head, or even the life of his father, in order to satisfy his appetite.

He rushed to Lin Shaoyu who was under the city and cupped his hands, spit out two words.

"withdraw troops."

Today's battle has come to an end. The two sides have spent so long, and no one minds continuing to consume it.

...

Qinchuan Pass.

Cheng Dalei met Axi in the study, and I have to say that Axi was in a lot of spirit. Since Cheng Dalei handed over the intelligence department to him, he has been eager to do something to prove himself to everyone.

Cheng Dalei called him over today to see how he was doing recently. Said to let go, but also can not completely ask.

After a brief chat, Axi did a good job. He has brains. As long as he works hard, he will never fail Cheng Dalei. After this period of hard training, the rashness of these people has gone a lot, and they have gradually become like real soldiers.

"Master, what is this?"

Cheng Dalei saw Axi pick up the banknotes on the bookcase. He didn't want to mention it to others, and he was just doing a sneaky study. Now Axi asks, and hits Cheng Dalei's sore spot.

"Ha, there's nothing left, just toss and play, I'll give it to you if you like it."

"I heard people say that everyone is going to issue banknotes. Is that what it is?"

Cheng Dalei rolled his eyes at him, you really can't lift a pot without opening it.
