Chapter 555

"Protect our home, eliminate the bandits!"

"Protect our home, eliminate the bandits!"

……

After which soldier in the city was the first to shout the slogan, instantly all the soldiers in the city raised their weapons and shouted loudly at the top of their lungs.

This sound shook the sky, and the heroic spirit flowed.

If they could live, who would want to leave this world? It was just because they had no place to retreat.

As soldiers, being wrapped in horsehide was their final destination; rather than running away with the common people and living like a rat crossing the street, the soldiers chose to step onto the battlefield and die like men.

Seeing that most of the soldiers in the city were already injured, they all chose to stay in this city.

Not a single one was worried about their own life like a coward.

Cao Xiong finally couldn't hold it in, and the tears in his eyes couldn't help but flow down.

Subsequently, Cao Xiong also joined in the slogan shouted by the soldiers.

At this moment, the morale of the soldiers and Cao Xiong had climbed to the peak.

They were now more like wounded beasts; if anyone dared to cross the red line, even if they died, they would bite a piece of meat off the enemy army.

……

That night, Cao Xiong let all the common people in the city sneak out from the side door.

Among the fleeing common people, Cao Xiong arranged for seven people to dress up as common people, holding the general information of the Great Yuan and Oirat armies and the letter asking the imperial court for help, and sent them out.

Cao Xiong still had a glimmer of hope for life in his heart; he wanted the imperial court to send reinforcements to help them, but Cao Xiong was not doing it for himself.

It was for the brothers and sisters behind him; after all, as long as the enemy crossed here, the area he was defending would definitely fall.

Even if the imperial court was too late to send reinforcements, Cao Xiong wanted the imperial court to know about the alliance between the Great Yuan and the Oirats in advance.

He didn't want the garrison generals in other places to be the same as him, causing the terrible result of the city being destroyed and people dying because of the asymmetry of information.

……

The next morning.

With the Great Yuan and the Oirats attacking day and night, on the night of the third day, the city was breached.

Cao Xiong died heroically, and not a single garrison soldier in the city survived; all were killed in action.

However, the people of the Great Yuan and the Oirats were not satisfied with the results of this battle, because according to their intelligence, it would take at most one day to capture the last line of defense in this area.

And it took them three full days to capture this city.

Subsequently, the armies of the Great Yuan and the Oirats vented their anger on the remaining territory.

Not long after, the armies of the Great Yuan and the Oirats swallowed up the entire northwest border area, and slaughtered several cities in a row, leaving not even a chicken or dog alive.

The entire northwest border area was like a dead zone, and the entire land was dyed red with blood.

Not long after, the news of the joint capture of the Great Ming border by the Oirats and the Great Yuan spread across the Nine Provinces as if it had grown wings.

The entire Nine Provinces was very shocked after learning this news.

No matter which force it was, it became panicked after learning this news.

Because of the peace for so many years, people had long forgotten the horror of war.

Although fighting in the Jianghu was common, it was far less than the war between empires.

Now that war had come, countless lives would pass away with the arrival of war.

Blood and fire would become the only melody in all parts of the Nine Provinces.

……

Great Han.

"Wars have started between all countries!"

"We must accelerate our pace, otherwise, before we can defect to any force, we will be involved in the catastrophe ourselves!"

Zuo Ci looked at the Immortal Yu Ji and couldn't help but say.

After hearing Zuo Ci's words, Yu Ji also frowned, but they had no way now.

Since the appearance of the Heaven Ranking, among the three of Nanhua Immortal, Yu Ji Immortal, and Zuo Ci, only the Nanhua Immortal with the highest cultivation could occasionally communicate with the Heavenly Dao.

And see a corner of the future in the Heavenly Dao.

Now Nanhua Immortal was in the most critical period of communicating with the Heavenly Dao; interrupting Nanhua Immortal's progress now would not only cause Nanhua Immortal to suffer backlash, but it was also possible that because of the early interruption, he would be unable to find the information they needed in the Heavenly Dao.

"The more it is now, the less we can be anxious!"

"For everything now, we can only rely on Nanhua Immortal being able to see through a glimpse of the future in this communication with the Heavenly Dao."

"What we can do is wait here obediently, and then when the Heavenly Dao backlash appears, block some disasters for Nanhua Immortal!"

"If the catastrophe sweeps over us and Nanhua Immortal still hasn't found useful information from the Heavenly Dao."

"Then it can only be that our luck has run out!"

Immortal Yu Ji roared at Zuo Ci.

Hearing the words of Immortal Yu Ji, Zuo Ci realized that he was indeed too anxious.

Then he operated his mental method to make his state of mind gradually become peaceful, and then he looked at Nanhua Immortal, who was sitting on the side, emitting an indescribable mysterious aura.

Now Nanhua Immortal was the only life-saving straw among the three of them.

Whether they could successfully get through this catastrophe depended on whether Nanhua Immortal could see the traces of the protagonist of this era in the Heavenly Dao.
