C53 All Four Armies Moved

Outside the Zhong residence.

Zhong Hu and the guards of the Zhong Family were surrounded. The guards of the Zhong Family were in a circular formation with knives in their hands. They kept blocking the arrows and arrows with knives, while the inner guards kept firing their crossbows. Zhong Hu was the one in charge.

The sounds of fighting shook the sky. Miserable screams rose and fell. The sound of bows and arrows being shot was like a rain. From time to time, the guards would fall, and the circular formation would become smaller and smaller.

Suddenly, there was chaos behind the Xiao Family's camp. A young man with short hair was wrapped in a sword light. He was like a sharp sword that could not be stopped. He rushed all the way to the Xiao Family's camp and "cut open" a gully, leaving behind a trail of corpses.

After a while, the 'sharp sword' broke through the encirclement and rushed to the front of the Zhong Family's circle formation. It was Yun Fei, who had rushed over from the Victory Square.

"Uncle Zhong Hu, where are Aunt Luo and the others? They can't..."

Yun Fei's heart sank when he saw that there was only Zhong Hu and a dozen guards. His eyes turned red, thinking that he was late.

"Yun Fei, why are you here? I'll cover you. Hurry up and rush out. Madam and the rest are fine."

Zhong Hu looked anxious. He pulled Yun Fei over and whispered into Yun Fei's ear, "Quickly go to the east gate. They are heading towards the east gate."

Yun Fei immediately understood. This was a golden cicada shedding its shell, but the price was to sacrifice the "shell" of Zhong Hu and the others.

Yun Fei held the Wind Walking Sword tightly and said in a deep voice, "Uncle Zhong Hu, let's kill our way out together!"

Zhong Hu raised his arm and shouted, "Men build the world. Loyalty is first. Today we sacrifice our lives for justice, and our deaths are worthwhile! Brothers, follow me and kill his mother!"

Zhong Hu brandished his blade and rushed forward.

"Kill his mother!"

The rest of the guards brandished their blades and roared as they charged forward.

Yun Fei and Zhong Hu charged forward side by side. They waved their swords and swords into two light screens, blocking the arrows that were coming at them.

Suddenly, Yun Fei felt his arm shake, and his right hand, which was holding the sword, went numb. The Wind Walking Sword almost slipped out of his hand.

"Pa! Pa!" Another two arrows. The force was abnormally great.

It turned out that it was a Martial Ancestor warrior from the Zhou family. Three consecutive arrows with Martial Ancestor True Yuan shook Yun Fei's right arm until it became numb. It was as if he had lost his intuition and could no longer lift his arm.

The continuous running and killing that had exhausted him had made him extremely tired. Now, his sword-wielding arm was numb, and he could not lift it up.

Looking at the arrow that was flying over and the tip of the arrow shining with a cold light, Yun Fei's heart was very calm. "In the end, I still have to leave this world."

In the Tiger Pavilion Pass' Protector General Zhong Wuli's tent, Zhong Wuli sat in the middle. The generals stood on both sides of the tent, and the atmosphere was heavy.

"Report!" A soldier ran to the center of the tent and knelt on one knee, "Reporting to the general, the southern army is moving out, heading northwest at full speed!"

A moment later.

"Reporting!"

Another soldier ran to the center of the tent and knelt on one knee. "Reporting to the general, the north army is moving toward the southwest at full speed!"

Zhong Wuli slapped the commander table in front of him and stood up.

"Xu Hong!"

"This general is here!"

"You command the cavalry to lead the way and clear out small groups of enemies! "

"Yes!"

"Ying Wang!"

"This general is here!"

"You will lead the logistics, abandon the supplies, and bring five days of grain to cover the rear! "

"Yes!"

"All generals listen up. The entire army will bring three days of dry rations to Jingdu's Tiger Hill City! "

"Yes!" All the generals agreed with a loud bang.

Outside Tiger Pavilion Pass, the smoke of wolves billowed, the flags fluttered, the iron horses flooded, and the Iron Blood Legion troops that had guarded the border for decades returned. The three hundred thousand troops extended for dozens of kilometers.

"Report!"

A soldier ran in front of Zhong Wuli's horse, "Reporting to the general, the eastern army is moving out, heading towards the capital at full speed!"

Zhong Wuli's face was gloomy, his brows tightly knitted.

He was not afraid of war, fighting with enemy countries. No matter how many enemies there were, he was still hot-blooded and heroic, smiling proudly at the battlefield.

This was because behind him was his hometown, his parents and elders. It was a beautiful home that he had lived for generations.

For this reason, even if he shed all of his hot blood and covered his corpse with his horse, he would still have no regrets in his heart.

But now, when he thought about how he was going to point his sword and saber at his compatriots of the same country and at his fellow disciples of the Great Liang, he couldn't help but feel extremely stifled and resentful in his heart.

After the expansion and development of the Xiao Family over the years, the Southern Army had already reached six hundred thousand troops. The commander of the army, Xiao Zhidong, had forcefully recruited all the soldiers of the cities he passed along the way, and the number of soldiers was still increasing.

The Northern Army had not had any war all these years, and they had been cultivating and resting. Commander Wu Zhong had been recruiting soldiers and horses to expand his strength. He had sufficient soldiers, and his military strength was close to five hundred thousand.

Moreover, the northern plains were vast, and the people were valiant. Hence, the north army had a larger proportion of cavalry, and their combat strength was also much stronger than the south army.

If one could look down at the entire Liang Country, one could see four snakes that were dozens of kilometers long slowly slithering about. Three of them were actually slowly converging in one place.

Zhong Wuli rode on his horse as he looked at the map. "Send a messenger!"

"Yes, sir!" A soldier with a triangular flag on his back rushed to Zhong Wuli's side.

"Order General Xu Hong to lead the cavalry to advance at full speed. We must arrive at Three Gorges Pass tomorrow and occupy it! When the southern or northern armies arrive, we must defend and wait for reinforcements!"

"Yes!"

The messenger quickly urged his horse forward to send a message.

Three Gorges Pass was a major road to the west of Liang Country. The north and south sides of the city were tall mountains, and it was very difficult to pass through.

There was a main road to the west that led to Tiger Pavilion Pass, but there were three canyons along the way. Because of this, Three Gorges Pass got its name. It was truly a dangerous place where one man could pass through tens of thousands of men.

The east side of the Three Gorges Pass was a boundless plain, and it was also the source of food in the Liang Country. Therefore, Three Gorges Pass was easy to defend and hard to attack, but easy to defend and easy to attack from the inside.

The army continued to move forward.

"Report!"

A messenger ordered his men to come in front of Zhong Wuli's horse. "Reporting to the general, there is news from the capital saying that the king was murdered by Commander Zhong. The palace was slaughtered by the guards of the Zhong Family, and all the members of the royal family were killed! The capital was in chaos. Now that Commander Zhong has been captured, Warlord and the Xiao Family are trying their best to capture the people of the Zhong Family."

" Xiao Wuyong, you treacherous villain! You framed a loyal man and schemed to usurp the throne!" Zhong Wuli roared at the sky.

The surrounding soldiers all dismounted. Deputy General Wei Zhong knelt on one knee and requested Zhong Wuli, "General, please give the order to rush to the capital city to get rid of the treacherous officials and save the commander!"

The soldiers all knelt on one knee and shouted in unison, "Get rid of the traitors and save the commander!"

Zhong Wuli drew his blade and raised it high up into the sky, "Listen to my order and move forward at full speed."

This General Baizhan thought of his parents, wives, and children in the capital, and his heart burned with anxiety. He secretly swore, "Xiao Wuyong, if anything happens to my family, even if I have to go all out, I will definitely kill you!"

The army's speed was obviously faster.

Within the capital of Great Tang Dynasty, Changan City, singing and dancing, it was a prosperous scene.

In a quiet and exquisite courtyard of the Imperial Protector's Water Prefecture, a beautiful girl dressed in a long white dress with a flowing cloud bun was watering a small willow tree. Her expression was extremely serious, as if she was taking care of a top grade herb.

It was this small willow tree that actually made the Eighth Stage Imperial Protector Shui Hong so angry that he almost pulled his beard.
