...

"General Duan, be careful~"

Ma Chongxi's long sword pierced Duan Gong's back heart. This sword was caught off guard. No one could have expected that Ma Chongxi would suddenly kill him.

The soldiers around him shouted loudly, and Wang Xiao and Du Rufei wanted to go and block the sword but it was too late.

"Drink~"

In a critical moment, a deep shout, a long crescent moonlight rushed away...

"Bang~"

The tip of the sword was only a slight slight away from Duan Feng's back. The roaring Yanyue sword rod hit the sword from the side, making a deafening sound of gold and jade, and flew away the long sword in Ma Chongxi's hand.

“Um…”

The huge force made Ma Chongxi sweat on his forehead. He held his wrist, which had been dislocated by the Yanyue Knife with one hand, and gritted his teeth.

He tried hard to raise his head, but saw a burly figure with a bronze face and long beard in a black robe, quickly approaching.

"Bang bang bang bang..."

Before Ma Chongxi could react, the figure had arrived, aimed at the vital points of his body, and waved his fist with iron mesh gloves hard, making him spit blood. The iron leaves on his body were scattered like running water and were scattered all over the ground by the huge force.

"go……"

The bronze-faced man shouted softly, lifted Ma Chongxi with one hand, and threw it into the air. Ma Chongxi's body weighing more than 170 pounds was thrown over the head of the bronze-faced man like a kite.

"Die~"

At the moment when Ma Chongxi fell, the bronze-faced man swung the Yanyue Sword on the ground with his left foot. The heavy blade immediately got his hand. Then a gust of wind blew over the surface, and a red blood mark appeared in the air...

The forged blade of manganese steel directly cut Ma Chongxi's body into half from his waist.

“Ah~~”

Ma Chongxi, who landed on the ground, did not die for a moment. Feeling the huge pain caused by the slash, he couldn't help but let out a groan of ghosts and howls, struggling in a pool of blood and constantly squirming.

When the Liangzhou defenders around him saw this bloody scene, they couldn't help but feel cold all over. When they looked at the bronze-faced man, they saw that he had already stood up behind Zhuge Zhi with a knife, and they could not see what the metal face looked like behind him.

"Give me your life, General Duan, I know I'm wrong, I really know I'm wrong!"

Yan Guozhu, who had been so scared that he was no longer possessed, could no longer bear such a terrifying scene, and he rolled and crawled to Duan Bing's feet and kept begging for mercy.

"All this is Ma Chongxi's conspiracy, and we are all bewitched. Please let General Duan have a look and think about the sake of his former colleagues, let me give my life!"

Yan Zhuguo was crying and begging Duan Bing for mercy, echoing the heart-wrenching shouts of Ma Chongxi on the side, which made people have a great visual and auditory impact.

Duan Bing was unmoved, looked at the soldiers of Liangzhou around him and said word by word: "When the Heavenly King was here, did you ever have the idea of ​​surrendering to a powerful enemy when you march to war? Didn't you lead us to make merits?

Even when the Qiang people were there, they all praised the Heavenly King. Now he died in battle, and his body was trampled on by the Hu people in every way. As soldiers in Liangzhou, you don’t think about avenging them for their shame and comforting the spirit in heaven.

But you want to bow down to the butcher and executioner? Ask yourself, are you worthy of the teachings and trust of the Heavenly King? What will you see after you die?"

When the soldiers in Liangzhou heard this, they all lowered their heads in shame, and many of them even clenched their fists and gritted their teeth.

Duan Yan shook Yan Guozhu, who was holding his legs, and continued to say to the generals: "Also, do you really think that waving the tail and begging Hu Nu can get a way out?

Have you forgotten how the Qiang people treat everyone? Now that I have finally gotten rid of the bullying of barbarians, I have been going to be a dog for them again for a long time? Are you so cheap?”

"General Duan, we were wrong!"

"We know we're wrong..."

The Liangzhou governor was ashamed and knelt down on one knee and apologized to Duan Yang for admitting his mistake.

"If you want to survive, you must rely on yourself to fight for it. The Monroe is terrible. Their strength is extremely strong, but like us, they are flesh and blood,

If you cut down with one knife, he will still bleed and die. If this is the case, what are you afraid of?

Your lives and the lives of your own relatives are protected by your hands, instead of waving your tail to the enemy, begging them to let you go,

Let’s stand up. I believe that after so many hardships, how could we Liangzhou men be scared away by the mere setbacks in front of us?

If the Hu people want to attack the city, let him do it! Let them drain the last drop of blood under this Jinzhong Pass!"

Duan Bing's words made the Liangzhou defenders who were originally preparing to surrender excitedly. When they stood up again, they had already returned to the unyielding expression that they should have as Liangzhou soldiers.

"General Duan, what should we do with these two people?"

After Du Rufei and Duan Feng finished speaking, he quietly came to Duan Feng and pointed at Ma Chongxi and Yan Guozhu and asked.

"You guys decide for yourself..." Duan Feng shook his head and said, "I am no longer a general in Liangzhou and have no right to decide their life and death."

Wang Xiao hurriedly said, "General Duan, don't say such things. Now there are no leaders in Jinzhong Pass. If General Duan does not come to take charge of the overall situation, he is afraid that Jinzhong Pass will be captured by Hu Nu sooner or later..."

Zhuge Zhi, who was standing beside him, closed his eyes and pondered, and said intimately, "It is time for Bai Qi to make a difference in the Western Regions. In this way, it is time to take pressure on the Murong tribe. When necessary, it is not impossible to fight together."

Duan Feng sighed and said, "It's true that I have accepted the title of King of Han and served as the Northwest Commander. How can I deceive the brothers in Liangzhou without my conscience?"

Wang Xiao and Du Rufei were stunned when they heard this. They all looked at Zhuge Zhi, but saw Zhuge nodding slightly, confirming Duan Feng's words.

To be honest, at this moment, the two veterans felt very uncomfortable. After all, a general like Duan Bing, who suddenly defected to others to change to anyone else.

But after all, both of them were experienced people, so they quickly adjusted their mentality and felt relieved: "General Duan, no matter who camp you are in, you will always be the backbone of the Liangzhou Army.

You can risk your life and come to Jinzhong Pass for stability and crisis, which means that you are standing with our Liangzhou brothers. No matter what, please stay and preside over the overall situation and lead millions of people in Liangzhou through the current disaster!"

"Please take us to retreat to the enemy~~"

"Please take us to retreat to the enemy~~"

"Please take us to retreat to the enemy~~"

Just now, the Liangzhou officers and soldiers were already hearing the words of Duan Yang and Wang Xiao and Du Rufei, but they didn't care what Duan Yang was coming, and they still firmly determined to identify him as the head coach who brought him to victory.

The reputation of a famous general will not be damaged by the differences in his powers. As long as he does not become an enemy of himself, he will still be respected by his former companions.

And Duan Feng is such a charming man.

Duan Yang took a deep breath, clapped his hands hard, shouted, bowed his hands and said to the soldiers: "Okay! Thank you for yourselves, Duan Yang is willing to take you to another victory! Now please return to your posts, don't let the Monroe take advantage of the loopholes!"

Driven by Duan Bing, tens of thousands of Liangzhou officers and soldiers immediately returned to their posts in an orderly manner, and an internal strife disappeared.

"General Duan, give him some fun..." Wang Xiao looked at Ma Chongxi who was still suffering from pain and said to Duan Feng, "After all, let me give him this old bone in the same battle..."

Duan Gong nodded and made a decision.

Wang Xiao drew out his long sword and came to Ma Chongxi, squatted down and said to him, "You... don't be fooled in the next life. When he sees the Heavenly King, he remembers to repent, do you know?"

After saying that, the long sword slashed through Ma Chongxi's throat, finally giving him relief.

As for Yan Guozhu, Du Rufei also killed his life with one sword.

After all, what the two of them had seriously touched the bottom line of the army, and almost caused a big disaster. Not killing is not enough to stabilize the morale of the army.

After dealing with the trivial matters, Zhuge Zhi came to Duan Yan: "Next, we should issue a letter of war to the Monroe to express our determination. I wonder if General Duan has a good plan to defeat the enemy?"

Duan Feng smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Shima Zhuge, I am not invisible. At present, there is no good plan to defeat the enemy. I can only lead the army to defend the enemy. After all, the enemies we are facing at this time are different from the past and must be handled with caution."

Zhuge Zhi gently shook the feather fan and said, "I believe in General Duan's ability, so you can defend the enemy and defend the pass with peace of mind. The rest of the trivial matters will be handled properly for you. I believe that at the latest at the end of January next year, this turbulent storm will have a perfect end."

"Everything will be a burden to Chief Zhuge!" Duan Feng bowed and said.

Zhuge Zhi said again: "By the way, the two traitors, please hand over the heads of General Duan to deal with..."

Duan Feng nodded and said, "Of course, the ungrateful person who surrendered to the enemy and treason, Zhuge Chief Executive, will do his own things."

...

At the same time, in the camp of Murong's troops, Murong Lian summoned his confidants to gather in his tent to gather and reunite.

"Banner, today Ma Chongxi will open the Jinzhong Pass gate, and we will soon have a foothold in the Central Plains!" Murong Ke said excitedly.

His words resonated with many generals, and they were filled with indescribable excitement about their impending entry into the pass.

Only Murong Lian said suspiciously, "The owner of the banner suddenly felt that it was too hasty to put all his treasures on Ma Chongxi and Yan Guozhu,

We didn't think carefully about how to remedy if there was a trace of accident..."

Murong De smiled and said, "The flag leader is worried too much. Jiang Wenyuan fell ill in bed. The guards of Jin Chong Pass are like a pile of loose sand. Ma Chongxi and his men took over the defenders in the pass are already in a prevailing situation. What accidents can happen?"

Murong Lian shook his head and said, "But if there is a real change, what should we do? Also, why has the troops transporting supplies from the Western Regions not arrived for a long time? It has been postponed for a full five days. This is very abnormal. People must be sent to investigate."
