From a small soldier in the frontier army, an immortal god of war was born

Chapter 156: General Pingbei, Northern Expedition to the Huns! (Please subscribe~)

early morning.

The battle of Wei Yu City gradually came to a halt. With Yan Ju's head being chopped off by Li Xin's sword and He Bo fleeing with serious injuries, it was officially announced that the Zhao army had been defeated in this battle.

At that time, the city was already in ruins, with smoke billowing. Most of the fighting had ended, with only a few small-scale battles still taking place.

Wu Fengdeng slowly stood up from the pool of blood. After fighting for several hours, his armor was already torn off and his robe was soaked with blood.

Fortunately, he did not suffer any particularly fatal injuries. After Qingdai's simple treatment, he was able to move again. He then mounted his warhorse and met up with Li Xin and others to hold an impromptu meeting.

After briefly allocating the garrison areas, Wu Fengdeng led his soldiers to the military camp east of the city to rest and recuperate in the Zhao army's tents and equipment.

In the tent.

He had taken off his robe, leaving his upper body naked, with more than a dozen horrifying wounds on it. Qingdai was busy applying medicine and stitching up the wounds.

"Take a look at the effects of these pills."

Wu Fengdeng took out the pills seized from Shao Houtu. Qingdai glanced at them, and then picked up one of them with a little surprise and looked at it carefully for a moment.

"Master Wu, this is just an ordinary blood-replenishing pill. However, it is mixed with a trace of original spiritual energy, which turns this medicine into a top-level tonic medicine. It can be understood as... a meridian-shaping pill at the Tuodan level!"

"Does it mean that it can help break through the Dantian barrier?"

"Yeah, that's exactly what I mean!"

Wu Fengdeng nodded with relief.

When he broke through to the Tuodan realm, it was all thanks to the trace of spiritual energy given by Li Xin, which is similar to the effect of these pills.

"Sir, do you want to use them to break through to the middle stage?"

Qingdai knew Wu Fengdeng very well and guessed what he was thinking in an instant.

"Well, it would be a shame not to use such a good thing."

"Then I'll go get some more medicine. This black, smelly thing must have been made with a lot of corrosive drugs. It needs to be neutralized."

"Okay, go now."

It was convenient to have this private military doctor around. When Wu Fengdeng had just put on his clothes, Qingdai brought the prepared medicine.

Without much hesitation, Wu Fengdeng immediately closed his eyes and made a breakthrough...

This went on for a whole day, and when it was evening, with a crisp cracking sound in his ears, the second barrier in his dantian finally broke, and the space suddenly expanded by more than twice its original size.

Taking advantage of this, Wu Fengdeng quickly wolfed down the prepared bucket of rice and a whole roasted lamb, which bulged his stomach to an alarming level.

But gradually, as he practiced the Bingfa Jue, his bulging belly shrank at a speed visible to the naked eye, and all the nutrients were continuously transformed into Qi and blood, slowly filling up his Dantian.

Another two hours passed like this, and his Dantian was finally filled up. The Qi and blood in his body were more than three times as much as before, surging and surging, making him extremely comfortable.

"Now there is only the last barrier of Dantian left. As long as I break through it and completely open up Dantian, I can officially turn to cultivating spiritual energy and cross that natural barrier!"

Wu Fengdeng stood up with a satisfied smile, put on a clean red shirt, lifted the curtain and walked out.

It happened that Guo Huan rode by at this moment, and when he saw him coming out of the pass, he was too late to congratulate him on his breakthrough, and said loudly: "Brother Wu, go to the general's mansion quickly, something big is happening!"

After saying this, he rode away in a hurry without even waiting for Wu Fengdeng.

"Something big happened? Did the war situation suddenly change?"

Wu Fengdeng did not hesitate, he mounted his horse and rushed to the general's mansion at full speed. It was quite lively inside and all the generals were present.

Li Xin looked around and said solemnly, "Now that everyone is here, I won't say much. Just now, the spy that my Great Qin stationed in Zhao Changcheng sent me a letter saying that the situation over there is critical and the Yang Mansion is showing signs of retreat."

As soon as these words were spoken, all the generals in the room stood up in shock.

"Defeated? How is that possible? Yang Jianwen is one of the only 18 True Warriors in Shenzhou. Can't even she stop the Xiongnu?!"

"Hasn't she never been defeated? She shouldn't be defeated in a mere defensive battle, right?"

"These barbarians have become increasingly powerful in recent years!"

……

Wu Fengdeng was also incredulous when he heard this. He knew Yang Jianwen very well how powerful he was. How could he fail in this battle to defend the pass? !

Li Xin explained: "It's not that Yang Jianwen is incompetent. On the contrary, she can fight against two Xiongnu Zhenwu by herself, and her deployment of troops is impeccable."

"The reason why we are at a disadvantage is mainly due to the Xiongnu prince, Maodun Chanyu."

He took a deep breath and said, "This man is the eldest son of the Xiongnu king. He participated in the southern invasion for the first time this year. Although he is only in the Tuodan realm, the super strong combat power and high military talent he demonstrated are extremely rare in the past hundred years."

"Everyone knows that in war, those above the Cangqi Realm mostly fight in single combat in the air, and the one who really plays the leading and decision-making role on the ground is the deputy general of the Tuodan Realm."

"The top combat power of the Yang Mansion is not bad, but no one can match Maodun Chanyu in ground warfare, which led to repeated defeats and the loss of nearly half of the defense line."

After his explanation, everyone finally understood, but their faces became even more serious.

A young man with both strong military power and excellent military ability has undoubted potential. If he grows up, he will definitely be a serious threat to all countries in China in the future.

This threat is much more serious than that of any powerful person in the Qi Conservation Realm.

"So, the king has ordered us to provide support as appropriate. If necessary, we can stop the war against Zhao and fully help the Yang Mansion resist the Xiongnu."

"Everyone, who is willing to lead the troops north?"

As soon as Li Xin finished speaking, all the generals stood up and volunteered, their voices loud and resolute.

"We are willing to fight!"

"The danger of the Xiongnu is a disaster for all people, I am willing to go!"

"And I!"

……

Internal struggles among the vassal states were struggles, but when faced with foreign invasions, all important matters could be put aside.

It’s simple, the bloodline of Yanhuang cannot be violated!
If there is, he will be punished even though he is far away!
Wu Fengdeng immediately stepped forward and said in a loud voice: "General, let me lead the troops. I used to work in the Yang Mansion and I know it very well."

As soon as he volunteered, the others quickly fell silent, and they also felt a little regretful.

Indeed, it was common knowledge that Wu Fengdeng had worked under Yang Jianwen, and he was the most suitable person to assist him.

As expected, Li Xin seemed to have been waiting for him to say this, and nodded, "Okay, I will appoint you as the General of Pingbei and lead 10,000 elite troops to attack the Xiongnu in the north."

"Guo Huan, Zhang Shiqi."

"The general is here!"

"You two follow and assist."

"Here!"

Ten thousand soldiers is the limit of what Li Xin can deploy based on the current military strength in the south, and it is also a tentative move.

If the situation at the border can be stabilized in one fell swoop, then everything will be fine and the war against Zhao will continue. But if they fail, the Qin army will suspend the fighting and turn north to attack the Huns.

Therefore, the outcome of this battle depends on whether Wu Fengdeng's 10,000 men can be effective.

After the meeting, he hurried back to the camp and ordered his men to prepare for battle, while Guo Huan and Zhang Shiqi also reorganized their subordinates.

The three parties gathered together and rushed out from the north gate.

Boom~~
On the general's sedan chair, Wu Fengdeng unfolded a map in his hand. It was a map of the surrounding area of ​​the Zhao Great Wall and the current battle situation drawn by the Qin army spies.

"The three-line staggered defense, relying on each other, is indeed a genius move."

"And the Xiongnu are worthy of their reputation for being fierce. They were able to force their way through a small part of the war zone that had a geographical advantage. This Maodun Chanyu is indeed not an ordinary person." "From the current situation, the Dingchou war zone where Maodun Chanyu is located is the one that needs the most support. The shortest route to this place is..."

He concentrated his mind and quickly planned out the best marching route. He waved his hand and asked Li Qun and others outside to make the deployment.

……

Dawn breaks, Xueling Mountain, Dingchou war zone.

"The Hulu Road is the most suitable place for an ambush. It is also the only way for the Xiongnu to enter the hinterland. General Mingzhe, you can lead your men to ambush in advance."

Bao'er was wearing red armor at this time and was pointing at the Hulu Narrow Road on the map.

The tall young man beside him nodded in agreement and said in a deep voice, "Okay, I will set up the ambush, and the enemy in the north will be left to you. Maodun Chanyu is cunning and treacherous, so you better be careful."

Under such circumstances where they were attacked from all sides, the limited military forces in the Dingchou theater had to be divided up to defend against the enemy, which was really stretched.

Bao'er sighed softly, picked up his sword and went outside. Two thousand soldiers from the Yang Mansion on the north side of Xueling Mountain were standing on full alert, staring at the rocky beach on the other side of the river below the mountain.

It was late autumn and approaching winter, and the surrounding mountains were already bare, while the rugged rocks on the opposite bank were clearly visible.

"Modun Chanyu... I must behead him today even if I have to sacrifice my own life."

Bao'er bit her teeth lightly, took out a dagger and a throwing knife from her waist, and carefully smeared poison on them, as well as the hairpin on her head, the iron nails on her wristband, and so on.

As an assassin, she has hidden weapons all over her body that can kill the enemy, which is also the reason why she is confident that she can kill Maodun Chanyu.

Even though my fighting power is inferior to his, I can still exchange one for one with him at a critical moment.

With the determination to sacrifice her life, she stood quietly on the mountainside, waiting for the Huns to appear.

In this way, another day passed. When it was approaching the golden evening, a large number of hairy strong men finally came from the other side, with their scimitars and bone swords flashing cold light.

"Line up to meet the enemy!"

Bao'er drew his sword, and the soldiers of the Yang residence immediately formed a battle line and fired arrows. The battle was about to break out.

She raised her sword and was about to go forward, but at that moment her pupils trembled and her expression was horrified.

Where is Maodun Chanyu? !

The Tuodan Realm warrior leading the Huns in front was a rough middle-aged man, while there was no sign of Maodun Chanyu anywhere else.

"Oh no, he went to the back mountain!"

Baoer reacted instantly and screamed that something was wrong.

She came this time to target Maodun. Considering the direction of his march, she thought he would attack Xueling Mountain from the north, so she guarded the north herself.

However, the fact is just the opposite, he is nowhere to be seen in the north!
"My lord! My lord!"

Suddenly, a miserable voice sounded from behind. It was the soldier from Yang Mansion who was heading for an ambush. He shouted with blood all over his body, "The Huns! The Huns are attacking!"

"Where is General Yang Mingzhe?"

"He was killed by Maodun, there was no way to stop him!"

Bao'er frowned tightly, looked back at the soldiers in the north who were fighting fiercely with the Huns, and then looked to the south. After hesitating for a moment, he picked up his sword and rushed to the south.

"Xueling Mountain is being attacked from both sides. As for me, I am in Tuodan realm alone, so I probably can't defend this place."

"No, we can't retreat even if we can't hold on. At least... at least we have to kill Maodun, otherwise we will really lose everything!"

Baoer had made up his mind and quickened his pace again.

Since this place is destined to be lost, we must recover the losses as much as possible and make these soldiers’ deaths worthwhile!
The only solution is to kill Maodun!
With this determination in mind, they rushed to the narrow Hulu Road in the south. By then, the high peaks on both sides had been breached by the Huns, and the battle was in chaos.

Among them, the burly young man was killing people with a scimitar in his hand. The armored soldiers of the Yang Mansion were like straw men in front of him and could not stop him at all.

At this time, Yang Mingzhe's upper and lower body had been separated and cut in half by him, and he died a miserable death.

"Shenzhou bastards, your general is dead, why don't you kneel down and surrender!"

"Our warriors are invincible. If you insist on resisting, you will surely die!"

Maodun chopped and grinned grimly as flesh and blood bodies were torn apart in front of him. The sky was filled with blood, making his face look even more eerie.

"Surrender! Surrender!"

"Hehehe, those who surrender will not be killed!"

……

The armored soldiers laughed wildly one after another, confident of victory. Their morale overwhelmed the soldiers of Yang Mansion for a moment, and even directly affected their combat effectiveness.

Maodun sneered even more when he saw this, but suddenly, his neck felt cold, and then a large amount of blood spurted out, dyeing his vision red.

Sneak attack!

He swung his sword in a circle in an instant, and the sharp sword energy spread out, but the beautiful figure had already dodged it.

Baoer looked at the large bloodstain on the scimitar in his hand. Most of the venom had been wiped away, and his face showed a little joy.

"You're so good at hiding that I didn't even notice it...hiss, you even applied poison?"

But even though blood was gushing out of Maodun's neck, he remained calm. Not only was he not frightened, but he even looked a little sarcastic and mocking.

The next moment, in Baoer's horrified eyes, he saw the blue veins on his neck exposed, some purple lines spreading out, and then the sticky venom was squeezed out of the wound.

Then, the wound began to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye!
"This, how is this possible?"

Baoer's heart was filled with shock and she could hardly believe her eyes.

Maodun twisted his neck and made a gurgling sound: "You are much better than that loser just now. I thought the famous Yang Mansion had no successor."

Clang!
After saying that, he picked up the big knife and chopped it down suddenly!
Bao'er knew that he could not win a head-on fight, so he dodged immediately, waited for an opportunity, and entangled with the enemy with his ghostly body movements and hidden weapons all over his body.

Swish swish!
Maodun's swordsmanship was sharp, but he could never touch her body. The feeling of powerlessness, like punching cotton, made him very annoyed.

Bang!
But he stomped his feet, and a strong gust of wind suddenly burst out from his body, blasting in all directions, catching Baoer off guard and directly blowing him away.

"Go to hell, little girl!"

Maodun laughed wildly and swung his saber directly at Bao'er, instantly breaking her scimitar into pieces. The remaining fierce force made her turn pale and she fell to the ground almost fainting.

rustle~

Her vision became blurred, and she could vaguely see the pair of leather boots stepping in.

"It's a pity that she is so beautiful."

Maodun said words of pity for her, but without any hesitation, he swung his sword and chopped at her waist.

"Still...still can't..."

Bao'er's eyes closed gently, empty and lifeless, and then she shed tears of unwillingness.

"If you die, then die... I have nothing to say if I am not as skilled as you."

"It's just... such a pity... Sir... Yang Mansion... and you..."

The man's voice and appearance are still there, but I can never see him again.

Whoosh~clang!
In a flash of cold light, Maodun's sword was swept away. The sudden sound caused Baoer's silent heart to be stirred again.

The blurry figure could be vaguely seen in the rippling eyes.
