I inherited a family fortune of 5000 years

Chapter 1850 Gu Family Army - Gu Xiao
Ancient Yang City of the Yanlan Empire.

This is the city with the longest history in the Yanlan Empire so far. Even a long time ago, it was the capital of the Yanlan Empire, but it was later moved to the current capital due to some historical factors. So far, this ancient Yang city can still be seen The shadow left behind when it was the capital at that time.

The person in charge of guarding Guyang City is Gu Xiao's father, Gu Cong. This city is also named after the "Gu" surname to commemorate and commend the outstanding contributions made by the Gu family.

But today's Guyang City no longer has the shadow of that time. The city is full of depression, and the prosperity of that time is no longer there. Even the streets are filled with a kind of desolation of people going to empty buildings.

Just yesterday, the residents of Guyang City had already begun to evacuate gradually, and now there was no one in this city except the army of the Gu family.

In fact, Yan Tianyao has issued an order that as long as the residents evacuate, all cities can be abandoned, including this ancient Yang city.

But Gu Cong was very stubborn, and personally led the Gu family's army to guard this place, vowing to defend every plant and tree here.

There are two reasons. First, this is the oldest city of the Yanlan Empire. The foundation of the entire country lies here. There are even many remains of the ancestors of the Yanlan Empire buried in Ancient Yang City.

Second, this ancient Yang city is also the place where the entire ancient family started to make a fortune. The first guardian of the ancient family was born in this ancient Yang city. It can even be said that this is the real hometown of the entire ancient family!
Although the current Gu family has moved to the capital, after the death of every member of the Gu family, the ashes will be brought to the Gu family ancestral hall in Gu Yang city for enshrining. It can be said that the roots of the Gu family are here. Therefore, Gu Cong would rather die here than Unwilling to leave with his own generals.

The day before, an army composed of two rank five empires had already arrived in front of the walls of Guyang City.

In fact, it is not very difficult for them to attack this city. Their number is five times that of the defenders of Guyang City, and the average life level of each soldier is one or two levels higher than theirs.

It's just that they didn't expect that in this ancient Yang city, they encountered unprecedented resistance!
All the Gu Family Army came from this Ancient Yang City.

So for the Gu family army, this is their real home. In order to protect this city, they can even pay their own lives as a price.

When the invaders started the battle, they never expected that what they were facing was already a desperate army. When the Gu family army rushed up, everyone had already burned their own lives as the price to temporarily improve their own strength. strength.

They just came here on orders, and they didn't have the determination to fight to the death with the Gu family's army. The difference in combat power between the two armies has even made up for the difference in strength!
Every soldier of the Gu family army can bring one or two enemies as a backup before completely burning their own lives. No matter how bad it is, they can cause heavy damage to one or two people.

Under such tenacious resistance, they actually persisted in this place for two full days in the face of such a disparity in combat effectiveness!
But as a price, the people of the Gu family army also suffered heavy losses. Almost half of them have stayed here forever. As for the rest of the people, most of them have spent too much vitality and soul, and they are forever irreversible. trauma.

Gu Cong stood on the city wall, looking at the majestic army in the distance. He also had several wounds on his body. Several times he almost died in battle. It was a few of his cronies who ordered him to leave the battlefield. Saved back.

He knew very well that it was only a matter of time before the city was broken, and he would not regret his death, but if this ancient Yang city was destroyed, even if he died, it would be difficult for him to face the ancestors below.

"Gu Xiao, you have to come back quickly!" Gu Cong knew that his son was no longer what he used to be. In the past three years, he had heard countless things about Gu Xiao. From Wutianyu who spit out his bones to later showing his power in the ancient cave, he is almost the protagonist of the story.

Although Gu Xiao did not have the opportunity to return to the Yanlan Empire to talk to his family after the assessment, but there was an astonishing amount of money in the account of the Yanlan Empire, even if all the assets of the ten ninth-rank empires were added. It's nothing compared to it.

And the public account of the Gu family army also had the same amount of money.

Relying on these funds, the entire family began to grow and develop rapidly, and the national strength also increased by leaps and bounds, but the time was too short. In just three years, no matter how many resources there were, it was difficult for the Yanlan Empire to soar to the fifth-rank empire all at once. .

Of course they have thought about spending money to hire people, but first of all, the current Yanlan Empire has no power to protect itself, so much wealth will only make others more jealous.

Secondly, the war came so suddenly that their external network and communication were almost paralyzed, and they almost couldn’t even send messages to Gu Xiao. Only the internal communication could barely be maintained, and the external information could be received, but the internal information was transmitted. stay home.

"Uncle Gu!" A sweet voice sounded behind Gu Cong

"Princess Lan Xin, why did you come here?" Gu Cong seemed a little surprised, "It's too dangerous here."

"Uncle Gu, although I am only Gu Xiao's wife in name now, the wife in name is also his wife," Lan Xin said, "If something happens to you, Gu Xiao will definitely blame me when he comes back. I have ordered the withdrawal of troops, you should go with me."

"No." Gu Cong still shook his head stubbornly, "Even if I, Gu Cong, were buried here, I would not give up Guyang City, please apologize to Your Majesty, Gu Cong will disobey the emperor's order this time. "

"Uncle Gu..."

"You don't need to persuade me anymore."

"Then I will stay here with Uncle Gu, and live and die with this Guyang City!"

"boom!"

Suddenly, the entire city wall shook violently.

Gu Cong's face changed, "They are attacking the city again, princess, you go back first, I will lead people to fight back!"

Gu Cong jumped directly from the city wall. At this time, the members of the Gu Family Army formed their own formation. They had a kind of determination to move forward, and there was nothing called fear in their eyes.

"Are you ready?" Gu Cong said slowly, "This may be our last battle."

"Master Guardian, we are ready. We have all left letters to our families. People in the Yanlan Empire will remember us in the future. We are also heroes of the Yanlan Empire."

"If we can't keep our home, what qualifications do we have to be called soldiers? Even if we die, we will die on the land of our hometown!"

"Okay!" Gu Cong nodded in satisfaction, "No one in the Gu family army is a coward."

"Since this is the last battle, let's roll the roll!" Gu Cong said, "All legions, start signing up!"

"Gu Xiang!"

"Gu Feng!"

"Gu Yumeng!"

……

Everyone began to call out their names, and the names of these heroes resounded throughout the sky.

"Very well, everyone, follow me..."

"Wait, there's another person!" A voice suddenly interrupted Gu Cong's words.

"Gu Family Army - Gu Xiao!"
