Chapter 119 Turbulence
Maple Kingdom, the twelfth year of Taiwen, midsummer.
A majestic goshawk flew from the east grassland, circled over Wangyuan City several times, and then flew back to the direction of the grassland.
In the past few years, the frontier of Maple Kingdom has been very peaceful. The horse thieves who often happened in the past to plunder food and grass have not happened for a long time.
The Wu Lijun stationed at the border fortress rarely lived a peaceful life for several years.
However, the peaceful time cannot last forever. In the midsummer of this year, Maple Kingdom ushered in the most terrifying disaster in the more than 200 years since its founding!
On the frontier fortress where yellow sand is still flying all over the sky, Wangyuan City is the most important fortress pass on the frontier. It is built on two mountain ranges and is definitely an insurmountable natural chasm.
In this desolate and barren frontier land, Wangyuan City is like an isolated city, standing quietly and silently.
In an outpost outside the city, two soldiers on duty were sitting cross-legged, drinking wine and talking about the future with smiles on their faces.
"Da Zhuang, you will be leaving the army in a few years. Have you ever thought about what you plan to do in the future?"
The soldier named Da Zhuang smiled honestly and said: "I will buy a cow with the salary, I want to go home and farm."
The slightly older soldier Youzi also said: "Hey, hey, You are really lucky to have entered the army in the past few years. You have encountered a rare good time. The horse thieves on the east grassland are as dead as they have not been here for several years."
"If only. A few years ago, how dare you bring wine to the guard post to drink like this!"
"Hahahaha, let's not talk anymore, let's have a drink together!"
With a crisp clink of glasses! With a sound, the two drank the wine in one gulp.
Before I could grab a bite of side dishes, the ground seemed to begin to shake vaguely, and the shaking seemed to be getting more and more intense.
At first, the two of them thought it was an illusion caused by being drunk, but then the vibration became more and more exaggerated, like an earthquake, and they were slow to react.
Old soldier Youzi stood up immediately and looked towards the distant east.
He saw the most unforgettable scene in his life!
Thousands of troops and horses rushed from the eastern horizon, rolling up an overwhelming cloud of sand and dust.
The earth trembled under the iron hooves of these tens of thousands of cavalry. Their momentum was as terrifying as demons from hell!
"This, this."
Dazhuang, who stood up, was frightened by this scene and became incoherent. He couldn't even speak. He even wondered if he was drinking. Drunk.
However, the older veteran, Youzi, was still more experienced than him. He was the first to react and was ringing the warning bell on the sentry post like crazy.
Dang, Dang, Dang!
The rushing bells resounded wildly and spread far away, turning into a lament in this desolate desert.
"Da Zhuang, light up your cigarette quickly, light up the wolf smoke!"
Before he could finish his words, the sound of an arrow piercing the air resounded.
Phew!
The next moment, Old Soldier Youzi's throat was pierced by an arrow, and blood sputtered out like a fountain.
Da Zhuang, who was covered in blood, was completely stunned. He lit up the smoke belatedly, and his whole expression remained in a sluggish state. This was due to extreme fear.
"Hahahaha, Guzhnye, this archer of your tribe is really powerful. He can hit the sentry man from such a long distance." Tuvahar, the one-eyed leader, said wantonly He laughed wildly and did not hold back his words of praise.
“It’s all trivial!” Another conquered tribal leader said humbly on horseback.
Tuvahar waved his hand and laughed wildly: "Ahead is Wangyuan City. Warriors of the grassland, follow me to capture this city!"
"As long as Wangyuan City is The distant city is broken, and behind that, there is the flat hinterland of Maple Kingdom, which we will be able to ride on!”
As soon as he finished speaking, tens of thousands of cavalry from the grassland swept past like a torrent.
The outpost just now was like a lonely boat floating in the sea. In just the blink of an eye, it was submerged by the waves.
The violent waves continued to surge forward until they formed a tsunami, violently hitting the important city in front, Wangyuan City.
Twelve years in Taiwen, late summer.
Wangyuan City was destroyed, and Maple Kingdom officially fell into war and fire.
The Wu Li army in the city resisted and fought to the death. However, facing the menacing horse thieves whose strength was several times theirs, even the captain, who was an internally powerful warrior, could only look back and sigh!
The commander-in-chief of Wu Li's army, General Lu Guanghong, held a Xuanwu spear and fell into battle to kill the enemy.
The master-level master holding the peerless magic weapon showed at this moment what is the top combat power in the world!
He attacked the entire vast battle formation single-handedly and forcibly carved out a passage.
Unfortunately, there are too many horse thieves in the grassland. They are as dense as locusts and cannot be killed at all. They will be killed endlessly!
Even the warriors of the Divine Realm were helpless in the face of this terrifying number of troops.
“Kill!”
This human master already knew that there was nothing he could do to save the world. He roared in despair and continued to break through with his gun.
At the last moment, he was stunned and killed more than a hundred elite cavalry from the grassland.
In the end, his body was pierced by several spears. This was a fatal injury. Even a human master would not be able to survive. Tuwahar, who was surrounded by the crowd, looked a little horrified and frightened. He looked at the general Wu Lijun who was only more than ten meters away from him, and cold sweat broke out from his back.
"Don't be a coward, give him a good burial!" Tuvahar let out a sigh of relief, he was dead after all.
With the death of General Lu Guanghong, Wangyuan City was completely occupied!
The news of the fall of Wangyuan City was finally transmitted to the imperial capital Shengtian by an urgent report.
Something big happened!
The entire imperial capital, no! The entire Maple Kingdom fell into an uproar.
Tens of thousands of horse thieves and cavalry from Bandong Grassland have now broken through the pass of Wangyuan City and are marching from the east in a mighty conquest!
After receiving the urgent military information, Emperor Taiwen almost fainted.
"Impossible. Wangyuan City is the most important city in the world. General Lu's martial arts is invincible. How could he die and destroy the city?!"
"Come here, take this The traitor who lied about the military situation will be dragged down."
Emperor Taiwen was unable to blurt out the last four words of beheading in public.
"Your Majesty, the top priority right now is to mobilize the army and prepare to fight the prairie cavalry!"
Some ministers came forward to give advice.
"Yes, gather the soldiers and horses and destroy these horse thieves, wipe them all out!" Emperor Taiwen was trembling all over and almost lost his ability to think.
The Wu Lijun who is stationed in Wangyuan City is the anchor of the entire Maple Kingdom.
If even such a city is breached, then Maple Kingdom will probably have no soldiers left to fight!
At the end of summer, soldiers and horses from all walks of life returned to support Wangyuan City.
Unfortunately, the prairie cavalry who entered the hinterland of Maple Kingdom were like a dragon entering the sea. They were unstoppable. They broke through the city all the way and aimed directly at the imperial capital Shengtian!
However, as more and more cities were occupied, the pace of such attacks finally slowed down.
With the arrival of autumn, the northern part of Maple Kingdom divided by Xiaocuiling has lost more than half!
For this reason, the imperial court used various means to try to delay the attack of the grassland tribes, and even summoned many powerful folk warriors to attack and kill Tuwahar. Unfortunately, no one made any achievements, but instead strengthened Tuwahar. of vigilance.
The good news is that the invasion of grassland horse thieves has slowed down.
However, the bad news is that their momentum is still unstoppable, and their goal is very clear, which is the imperial capital Shengtian.
The entire Shengtian City was filled with panic, feeling the panic caused by war for the first time.
As a result, many people from Qingzhou, Liangzhou, and the northern states of Feng Kingdom have begun to move south.
But moving south like this is destined to be very difficult.
Xiaocui Ridge, a huge mountain range that stretches across from east to west, is like a natural chasm, blocking the footsteps of most people.
At this time, Shengtian was in an inconspicuous blacksmith shop.
"Oh, what a troubled time." Li Qing sighed, and was also shocked by the sudden turn of events in Feng Kingdom.
These days, all the ordinary weapons in his shop are sold out, and many people even come to him to customize weapons in advance.
It shows how difficult the situation is today, and most people maintain a pessimistic attitude.
"Judging from the current situation, Shengtian is probably not a place to stay for a long time. We have to make preparations as soon as possible."
Now he has no worries in Shengtian City, that is, the ancient The family left behind by the master needs to be properly arranged.
Li Qing thought for a while and planned to transfer the tiger bone health wine and five poisonous blood-activating wine in his shop to the polar night world.
Now that the five poisonous blood-activating wine has been brewed, there is no need to bury it in the soil and spend spring, summer, autumn and winter to refine the toxins in the wine. It can be stored in the polar night world.
In addition, there are a lot of belongings that he is also preparing to transfer to the polar night world.
It seems that the polar night world has become a good place to store things.
After doing all this, Li Qing immediately found Commander Qian Hong of Maple Guard Gate.
Qian Hong, who is dressed in a gorgeous red dress, has a lingering sadness on her face recently.
"Master Li, you came to me at this juncture, you can't come here to learn martial arts, right?" Qian Hong looked at Li Qing with a half-smile.
