Born short-lived

In Sha'an near Huaxu's northern border, there is a vast expanse of pines and seas of forest. From the eyes of the gray pigeon, it looks like a huge green velvet carpet, which is laid obediently on the undulating mountains.

Sha'an's white crystal psychic power is not as common as Huaxu's. For the rural people living on the border, it can be said to be as precious as oil, so every morning, they go to the mountains to collect dry firewood villagers.

As for the villages near the East China Sea, two days ago, they all received news from the capital, saying that there will be troops passing by recently, and they should not go to the mountain road if there is nothing to do. The news came from a few sergeants in armor. Holding the token of the capital city—how many people in the village have seen such a posture, and made several nearby villages feel like they were facing enemies as soon as they came. These "Zhuge Kongming" who live in the mud walls "Lookingly, the news spread more and more outrageously, as if they were about to witness how the magical soldiers who conquered the entire Eastern Continent would descend from the sky.

But every household will still let the children in the family go to the mountains to collect dry firewood when the time comes. It seems that no matter how nervous everyone is, they also vaguely believe that this mediocre life for several generations will not be like this easily broken.

When the children were carrying big baskets on their backs and went to dig out bird nests from the tree while collecting dry firewood, one of them saw an unusually bright spot of light moving towards them in the white sky, getting bigger and bigger. big.

I don't know who was the first to scream "The Great God is descending!" The other children looked up and felt that there seemed to be no more suitable explanation for this unusually dazzling white spot other than "the Great God descending to earth", so they They all booed excitedly.

"Look at that!"

"It's really a great god! It's a three-faced god!"

"It's the three-faced god!"

"We're going to win the battle!"

……

The "Three-faced God" screamed and smashed into the silent mountain forest. When it approached, the children realized that the light cluster of the "Three-faced God" seemed to be too big, and the white light shrouded it. The mountain forest with a radius of a hundred miles, illuminated almost no dark place in the forest, almost blinding people, rubbing the air and making a terrifying sound that pierced the eardrums, like an extremely huge kettle boiling.

The children rushed away, screaming, scattered like birds and beasts, and in an instant, the huge white light ball crashed into the dark green valley with a roar, and the whole earth trembled , The mountain walls on both sides of the valley collapsed in an instant as if being chopped down by a sky axe, and fell into the valley with a crash.

Huge clouds of smoke and dust were lifted to a frightening height, like a gray-yellow giant screen several tens of feet high, and it took several hours before it gradually sank.

Only then did people realize with a tingling scalp that the ball of light actually filled up the originally huge, deep and silent valley, and the timid ones were frightened out of their wits.

——And what they didn't know was that this light group actually happened to hit in front of the last 50 troops that Sha'an was about to go to Huaxu to support. If they had just moved forward, they might all be buried in that valley bingo.

The forward generals were stunned immediately, their legs and feet went limp in an instant, and the horses neighed heart-piercingly in shock. It took them a lot of effort to restrain these horses that were about to go mad.

The commander-in-chief of the Chinese army made a decisive decision and decided to retreat a hundred miles before the investigation was made.

Originally, Luoche would receive reinforcements that day, but he did not expect to receive the news of "thunderbolts from the sky".

Luo Che's hand shook, causing the military newspaper to fall to the ground. He maintained a shocked expression and froze in place. For the first time in more than ten years, his mind was blank in front of the two armies.

The little soldier passing the order next to him prostrated himself on the ground, shaking like chaff, not even daring to lift his head, and trembled instinctively when he heard the military report falling to the ground.

Luo Che's lips trembled uncontrollably, their lips were so white that they seemed to be covered with a layer of frost.

I'm afraid the people under his command have already spread the news crazy, and it is estimated that all kinds of "scourge" talk will flock, but they don't know what's going on, and Luo Che won't.

——It was the long-range cannon that Hua Xu had made his mark in southern Xinjiang two years ago. Back then, with just a few cannons, it defeated Yang Gui and the hundreds of thousands of allied forces of Black Banner.

Luo Che originally thought that the cannon was inaccurate, and Sha'an was far away from Huaxu's East China Sea. They invaded Huaxu's northern border, and it was impossible for the Huaxu people to set off such a big fire on their own land—but he didn't expect , Hua Xu was able to smash their backyard in Sha'an without anyone noticing.

The cannon just landed in front of the reinforcements, and he didn't dare to guarantee whether the Huaxu people were really inaccurate or did it on purpose—he didn't even know where the "sky thunder" came from.

Luo Che felt that his blood had cooled a lot in an instant. He pressed down his faintly trembling hand fiercely, and took a deep breath. The sound was like a broken bellows leaking air.

He tried exhaustingly to close his eyes.

He couldn't help thinking, is this what people often say, the general situation is gone, is it really powerless?

Dong Sheng fought with the people of Sha'an all day long, but at noon the enemy suddenly withdrew them all back. He didn't understand why at first, thinking it was Luo Che's fraudulent plan, and sent 50 scouts to investigate After exploring, I found out that the Sha'an people really withdrew, and they evacuated directly to Juyongguan.

Yun Xiao went to inquire about the news, and only when he came back did he tell Dong Sheng that there was some kind of "thunder from the sky" that struck right in front of the Sha'an people's reinforcements, scaring them back.

"What?" Dong Sheng was at a loss, and said in unimaginable shock, "Scared Lei back?!"

Yun Xiao couldn't figure it out either, so he could only nod his head reluctantly: "Anyway...that's what you said...it's a bit strange."

Dong Sheng was stunned for a moment, staring at Yun Xiao in disbelief, Yun Xiao couldn't figure out the north, south, east, west, and just felt a headache.

Dong Sheng thought for a while, then asked: "Did anyone say what kind of 'thunder' it was?"

Yun Xiao recalled it for a while, and said: "It is said to be a huge white light group, and there is a very piercing screaming sound."

Dong Sheng was stunned for a moment, and slowly figured out in his mind that if it was really just some kind of "scourge", it would definitely not scare away Luo Che's old fox who had been fighting all his life on the battlefield.

Dong Sheng was silent for a while, Yun Xiao couldn't help asking, seeing his pensive look, "Do you have a clue?"

Dong Sheng sighed, and said in a deep voice; "It seems that someone has kept us back."

According to Yun Xiao, the most likely thing is Hua Xu's long-range cannon. Dong Sheng knew that although this thing had a long range, it could never be fired from the East China Sea Command.

Dong Sheng's eyes lit up, as if remembering something, he suddenly asked, "I remember, is there an island in the east of Sha'an that doesn't belong to them?"

Yun Xiao frowned, and said uncertainly; "It seems that there is...Your Highness, why are you asking this?"
