After receiving Zhang Hao's reply, Emperor Jingming was stunned for a long time. Then he stood up from the dragon throne and solemnly said: "This should be a test for me and the ministers from the imperial master. Although the barbarians are strong, I am stronger.

Now that we have strong soldiers and horses, we may not be inferior to him. I have decided to personally lead the Suzaku Legion and the White Tiger Legion among the four legions, and rush to Fengxue Pass to fight the barbarians to the death. What do you think?"

Enthusiastic and war-like, the young officials and generals of the Ministry of War all walked out and said: "I would like to be attached to the emperor's tail!"

Emperor Jingming nodded, looked at the Minister of Works and asked, "How is the completion of the new ordnance supervised by the Ministry of Works?"

This official, who was honest and dull and looked more like a craftsman, leaned forward and said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, with the new steel-making method provided by the Imperial Master, our steel output and quality have doubled. Now we have three continuous crossbows.

Thousands of weapons, each with ten rounds, can pierce an arrow at a hundred steps. It is a sharp weapon against cavalry; there are one hundred thousand flintlock muskets.

, with tens of millions of projectiles, it has been issued to the Qinglong Legion for the soldiers to familiarize themselves with, but it is not as powerful as the serial crossbow. However, the craftsmen of the Weapons Industry Bureau have proposed improvement ideas, but they have not yet had time to apply them to actual technology; there are several swords, spears and spears.

The quality is no less than a hundred-forged weapon, and it has been equipped in the four major legions."

"Yeah!" Emperor Jingming nodded.

The Minister of Household Affairs in charge of money and grain did not wait for Emperor Jingming's inquiry, but came out and reported: "Your Majesty, due to the promotion of new immortal seeds, the Ministry of Household has abundant money and grain, and all warehouses are full of grain. It just takes time to transport."

Emperor Jingming said: "Please go and handle it quickly!"

After the Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue resigned, he went to dispatch people and gather food and grass!

Three days later, the army rushed in, and grain and grass were piled up in mountains. Emperor Jingming also cited the national crisis and recruited more than 100,000 civilians to be responsible for transporting grain and grass.

After a simple swearing-in in front of Chengtian Gate, the main gate of Tiandu City, the army marched towards Fengxue Pass in a mighty manner!

Zhang Hao also followed suit. Although he would not intervene in this battle, to avoid accidents, he naturally could not ignore it.

The White Tiger Army consists of 100,000 people. The commander is Zhao Shanhe, Zhao Fuchen's brother. He is a silent and resolute young man who has repeatedly made military exploits in Fengxue Pass. At a young age, he has accumulated merit and has been promoted to the rank of general. He has a good command of troops and is a

Commander-in-Chief Talent.

The Suzaku Legion got this name because they are equipped with mostly new firearms, flintlock muskets, thunderbolts, divine rockets, etc.

At Fengxue Pass, on top of the 30-foot-high city wall, Zhao Fuchen held a long sword in his hand with a heavy face. He had not slept for several days. His physical strength, which was a great Xiantian realm master, was also exhausted. The other soldiers on the wall were even more shaky.

, supported purely by a will.

The barbarians have been attacking almost without interruption for several days. This majestic ancient city wall seems to have turned into a meat grinder, devouring the lives of both sides!

Although the barbarians were born with a strong physique and amazing fighting power, as the party attacking the city, they were at a disadvantage. In the past few days, more than 50,000 people had been killed or injured.

But this did not make them afraid, but instead aroused the ferocity hidden in their bones, causing great casualties to the Fengxueguan defenders.

The number of war dead has risen to more than 30,000.

Although Fengxue Pass is said to have 100,000 defenders, nearly half of them are old and weak soldiers, and the real elite is only 40,000 to 50,000 people. It can be said that the current number of combatable soldiers in Fengxue Pass is less than 30,000, and

Everyone is exhausted. But the main force of the barbarian army, the Sirius Army, has not yet taken action, and the situation is extremely dangerous!

Under the city wall, a figure suddenly rose up like a bird, his figure hidden in the night, blurry.

The defenders on the city wall were about to shoot arrows, but Zhao Fuchen hurriedly stopped him and said, "It's one of our own!"

The black shadow turned over and jumped up to the top of the city. It was Xue Weihan with a thin figure and a handsome face.

"How is the situation?" Zhao Fuchen asked.

Xue Weihan smiled bitterly and shook his head: "It's not clear yet!"

"I was discovered as soon as I entered the Barbarian Army camp. The four of them, Wind, Rain, Thunder and Lightning, took action together, and I almost didn't come back!"

Zhao Fuchen frowned: "It is said that if one has reached the level of a master, one can lock the soul from thousands of miles away and detect the enemy mentally. This should be done by a holy master."

Xue Weihan said: "I guess so. If he hadn't bothered to take action against me personally, I might have become a prisoner!"

"Forget it about exploring the enemy's situation. What we need now is reinforcements. Even if we know what the barbarians are up to, what can we do!" Zhao Fuchen sighed and said.

"Woo!" The horn sounded, and the barbarians attacked the city!

Each barbarian did not have a siege ladder, so he climbed up the peaks on both sides with his bare hands, and stormed into the city pass from the peaks.

Zhao and Xue, one holding a knife and the other holding a sword, looked at each other with a smile and rushed towards the enemy.

Another battle started. This kind of offensive had been launched dozens of times. The bloody battles made all the soldiers defending the city almost numb.

They just slashed at the enemy with all their strength!

In the barbarian army's tent, the barbarian emperor Chi Bilie and the holy master Hulunzhe were confronting each other.

Chi Bilie has a majestic and tall figure, a tough face, and a flash of light in his eyes that open and close occasionally, showing that his inner strength is unfathomable.

The Barbarian Emperors have been practicing "Yu Tian Ce" for generations and are able to control the naturally unruly barbarians. They themselves are countless masters of the barbarians. This generation of Barbarian Emperor Chi Bilie is even known as the most outstanding Chi family after the Barbarian Martial Saint.

generation.

Hulunzhe dropped his piece, and the red dragon was slaughtered. He immediately laughed: "Teacher's chess skills are still so superb!"

Hulunzhe said lightly: "Everything in the world is just a game of chess. You are too obsessed with winning and losing."

Chi Bilie smiled and said: "Not everyone can be as detached as the teacher. Bi Lie has to consider the entire barbarian tribe."

"Including letting warriors from other tribes die?"

Chi Bilie's eyes flashed, and he said: "I have been waiting for the teacher to question me on this point, but I didn't expect that the teacher still asked!"

He raised his body proudly and said with his hands behind his back: "We, the barbarians, are natural warriors, far from being comparable to the weak Middle-earth people. However, we have always been able to huddle in the cold and terrifying Northern Territory until our ancestors unified all the tribes in the Northern Territory.

He had to go south to herd horses! Later, although the royal court was established,

In essence, each tribe still has its own affairs. It cannot be regarded as a unified country. The power is scattered among ten fingers, how can it be compared with a clenched fist? The southerners can fight against us, isn't it because they have a unified dynasty?

The emperor holds all the power?"

"Although I, Chibi Lie, am not talented, I still yearn for the achievements of my ancestors. I rode my horse on the middle ground and turned this flowery country into a pasture for our barbarians!"

"Teacher, this is what I think!"

Hulunzhe said slowly: "Do you want to truly unify the tribes, follow the example of the Southerners in establishing a unified royal court, and even establish a dynasty to unify the world after conquering the Middle Kingdom?"

"Not bad." Chi Bilie nodded.

"Teacher, would you like to help me?"

Hulunzhe shook his head: "I won't help you, but I won't stop you either. The road you want to take may not be as easy as you think. Have you ever thought about it, when you unify China?

, how should we treat the southerners?”

"What about taking away their clothes, destroying their history, and demoting them to a lower class?"

"Then what you rule is just a bunch of pigs, dogs and stupid people. Such a country can still be maintained if there are no foreign enemies, but it will collapse if it encounters foreign enemies. At that time, we barbarians have lived with it for a long time, and we are afraid that we will have been assimilated and lost.

With such sharp claws and spirit, it is impossible to even retreat to the Northern Territory, and will only disappear in history."

"How about treating all of them equally and becoming my subjects?" Chi Bilie said.

"Then the barbarians will be the first to disobey you, and the foundation of your rule will be shaken!"

Hulunzhe sighed and said: "The southerners have created a splendid civilization. Human beings naturally yearn for civilization, so the small Diyi countries in the Southern Wilderness worship the southerners as the heavenly kingdom, learn their language, knowledge and culture, and
