Guarding the border: I am sanctified in the flesh

Chapter 144 Even if it is death, I will guard this escape route for you!
Two days later.

Lu Fan led the army to set off again.

The morale of the soldiers was high.

Although they only rested for one day, they didn't feel tired at all.

They all know that as long as they follow Lu Fan, there will be success.

Because Lu Fan has always acted impartially and will be rewarded for his meritorious service.

Every time a battle ends, many soldiers will be rewarded.

The capture of Jinyu City has brought them a lot of harvest.

"drive!"

After traveling during the day and resting at night, it took 20 days for Lu Fan to lead his army to Dayu City.

It was a young officer who went out of the city to greet him, and Xu Zhao was not seen.

"Where's Xu Zhao?"

Feeling something was wrong, Lu Fan asked.

"Go back to General."

The young officer's face turned serious, and he said loudly: "The Zhennan Pass is in an emergency, Master Xu has led his troops back to help."

"Is Zhennan Pass urgent?"

Lu Fan asked in surprise, "When did it happen?"

"Five days ago."

The young officer said: "The news came back from the northern border that all the three major border cities have been destroyed, and the entire northern border has been lost. The Xia, Wei, Yan, and the Allied Forces of the Three Kingdoms have driven straight into our Dazhou territory and formed a siege on our Dazhou capital."

"Qi State and Qin State each divided 15 troops, a total of 30 troops, and sent troops southward to storm Zhennan Pass."

"They attacked day and night, regardless of casualties."

"It has been going on for six days and six nights, and today is the seventh day."

"Our army suffered heavy casualties."

"Master Xu led an army of [-] to Zhennan Pass for support."

"Before he left, he specifically asked the subordinate officials to wait for the general to come back before telling the general about it, so as not to affect the general's great cause of defeating Chu."

After a short pause, the senior officer continued: "Master Xu also said, please rest assured, the general, he will definitely be able to hold Zhennan Pass until the day the general triumphs. As long as he is here, the city will be there!"

"30 troops?"

Lu Fan calculated in his mind that the Zhennan Army, even with the 10 elite led by Xu Zhao, would have less than [-] people.

What's more, the Qin and Qi coalition forces have continued to attack for six days and six nights regardless of casualties.

Moreover, with each passing day, the danger will become more dangerous.

He glanced at the sky, it was almost dark.

In other words, the seventh day is almost over.

You have to rush to support in time.

Thinking of this, he turned his head and looked at the generals behind him, and ordered: "Lead your army and continue on your way, and return to Zhennan Pass as soon as possible to support!"

"Yes."

All the generals agreed in unison.

Lu Fan turned his attention to the young officer again, "You continue to lead people to stay in Dayu City."

"Yes, General."

The young officer answered loudly.

"I'll go first."

Lu Fan jumped off his horse, bid farewell to the generals, and quickly disappeared from everyone's sight.

……

……

Zhennan Pass.

It was dark.

However, the flames of war are burning everywhere.

Shouting and killing.

The corpses were all over the field, and the blood flowed into rivers.

The battle was extremely brutal.

Zhao Fei was standing on the tower, looking at the overall situation.

He had a worried look on his face, and there was a sense of sadness in his eyes.

I am afraid that Zhennanguan will not be able to hold it.

As long as the city is lost, the enemy army will continue to move south and enter the Chu territory.

At that time, Lu Fan will be flanked back and forth, which may be more dangerous than good.

It is even possible that because of the reversal of the war situation, the Shu and Yue countries will turn against the water again.

That's trouble.

The Great Zhou army in Chu State may be in a desperate situation.

Even with Lu Fan around, he might not be able to get out of this desperate situation.

No!

Zhennanguan must not be lost!

As long as he is there, the city is there!

If you want to win Zhennan Pass, unless he is dead.

But even if he dies, he still has to guard this retreat for Lu Fan!
Thinking of this, Zhao Fei's eyes gradually became firm.

He turned his gaze to the city wall, only to see that the enemy army had already attacked the city wall and was fighting to the death with the Zhou army.

Someone keeps falling, and someone makes up.

There were dead bodies everywhere, blood everywhere.

It's been seven days!
Most of the Zhou army has been lost, with more than 9 people, and only less than 4 people remain.

And everyone was hurt.

Even he has countless wounds on his body.

Not to mention others.

The situation is so critical, but no one takes half a step back.

When it's time to go up, you will never frown.

Everyone, including him, believed that Lu Fan would definitely come back in time to defeat the Qin and Qi coalition forces and save them from the fire.

"kill!"

Suddenly, there was a neat shout of killing on the city wall.

Zhao Fei followed the prestige, and suddenly his heart tightened.

One of the crenels has been lost, and there are no follow-up defenders to replenish, and the enemy troops are constantly coming up.

"roll!"

With a loud shout, Zhao Wu led a team to rush up the city wall, temporarily blocking the gap.

But Zhao Fei knew that he had no one to use.

The team just now were wounded soldiers who had just been down for a while, and they wanted to rest for a while before coming up to fight.

But had to top it in advance.

"kill!"

Shouting and killing.

There are more and more gaps in the city wall, and the Zhou army is exhausted.

And the enemy is still pouring in.

The forces of the enemy and us on the city wall are reversing.

The situation is not good.

It seems that he can only do it himself.

Zhao Fei sighed secretly.

For seven days in a row, he didn't close his eyes.

Whenever the situation is critical, he can only take action himself to restore the decline.

But this time, does it work?

Thinking of this, he was about to jump off the tower.

"General!"

The messenger rushed upstairs and said loudly: "Master Xu Wei, Xu Wei, lead the disciples of the aristocratic families and sects in the city to help the battle."

"it is good."

Zhao Fei was overjoyed and said, "Send the order and let Xu Zhao arrange it."

"Yes."

The orderly led the way.

Zhao Fei looked at the city wall again, and saw a group of young people rushing up the city wall and quickly blocked all the gaps.

They are all very skilled, not wearing armor, but more agile.

But it didn't take long for the enemy troops to surge up again, continuously.

The team of young people was soon covered in blood, including enemies and their own.

There is no use in battlefields and peacetime contests.

Even if their strength is good, this is a life-and-death struggle after all, both the enemy and the enemy are red-eyed, and injuries are inevitable.

Some people were even besieged and killed.

Xu Wei, who rushed to the front, was even more desperate.

There were countless wounds on his body, but he didn't back down.

After a while, his clothes were stained red with blood, and he had long since lost his original appearance, like a blood man.

Seeing this, Zhao Fei knew very well that the situation of the battle could not be changed by relying on these aristocratic children alone.

To resolve the immediate crisis, only Lu Fan can do it.

Alas, Lu Fan, how can you come back?

Zhao Fei sighed in his heart.

At this time, the messenger rushed over again and said loudly: "General, Mr. Mo Zhu led the children of all the families in Caiyun City, took a shortcut from the mountain to enter the city, and came here to help."

"it is good."

Zhao Fei lifted his spirits, "Go and let Master Xu arrange it."

"Yes."

Not long after, another group of young people charged up the city wall, and the leader was Mo Zhu.

Without saying a word, he raised his sword and fell, and the two Qin soldiers in front of him were chopped off by his sword.

Everyone behind them also joined the battle.

The war once again fell into anxiety.

"General, Song Zhaoshu led the children of all the aristocratic families in Nanzhao City to help in the battle."

The messenger had a happy expression on his face, "And Wang Fen, he summoned the disciples of the nearby sects to come to support him."

"Great!"

Zhao Fei was overjoyed, "Let them join the battle."

"Yes."

The orderly led the way.

Not long after, two teams of young people joined the battle, instantly reversing the situation and blocking all the gaps in time.

"Boom boom boom!"

The rapid sound of war drums sounded from the enemy camp.

The enemy army came like a tide.

Looking at the densely packed enemy army below the city, Zhao Fei knew that the enemy had intensified their offensive again.

Don't give them a break at all.

After half an hour.

On the city wall, the situation turned again.

With the continuous input of enemy troops, the gap was opened again, causing more enemy soldiers to pour in.

Even if there are many aristocratic families and sect disciples, some can't stand it anymore.

Most importantly, there is no one available.

"Shh!"

Zhao Fei drew out his waist knife and jumped off the tower, the light of the knife lit up.

The violent sword energy descended from the sky.

"boom!"

Dozens of enemy soldiers were chopped off by Zhao Fei.

Only then did he land firmly on the city wall and charged into the enemy group. The knife in his hand kept flying, and the enemy soldiers fell down one after another.

The spirits of all the soldiers were greatly lifted, and a rainbow-like aura burst out in an instant, temporarily stabilizing the situation.

But Zhao Fei knew that it couldn't last long.

Because the enemy army is still replenishing continuously, and the Da Zhou army has no one available.

"Da da!"

The sound of hoofs sounded.

A war horse rushed out of the enemy's formation. The man on the horse was wearing armor and holding a spear, and was riding towards Zhennan Pass.

Looks like a general.

Zhao Fei's heart sank, could it be the other party's chief general?
He had received information a long time ago that the main generals of both Qin and Qi countries are all innate realm powerhouses.

As long as one person comes, he may not be able to stop it.

The knife in his hand kept slashing, but his attention was on the man under the city.

The man came to the base of the city and shouted at Zhao Fei: "Zhao Fei, I am Tian Yi, Commander of the State of Qi. You still open the door and surrender quickly? Maybe I can spare your life."

Sure enough it was him!

Zhao Fei didn't speak, but the knife kept flying.

The enemy fell in pieces.

"Humph!"

With a cold snort, Tian Yi stabbed out the spear in his hand, and with a bang, the city gate shattered and fell down.

"Shh!"

Countless sword lights lit up, forming a single piece.

A powerful saber intent rushed out from the city gate and slashed towards Tian Yi.

This was the battle formation set up by Xu Zhao, and he personally led the team to guard the city gate.

Tian Yi seemed to have been prepared for a long time, soared into the air, and the next moment he appeared on the city wall, and the long spear in his hand was thrown forward, and the shadow of the spear suddenly appeared.

Zhao Fei was already waiting here, and he swung his knife to cut out.

"boom!"

There was a loud noise, and violent power invaded Zhao Fei's body. As if he had been hit hard, his body retreated several steps before he stabilized, and a mouthful of blood spurted out.

Finished!

Despair surged in his heart.

The strength is too far behind.

He was injured after just one encounter.

Totally not an opponent.

This was when he had just entered the Xiantian Realm.

If it was placed before, he might not even be able to block the opponent's move.

If he died, Zhennanguan would be over.

I am afraid that none of the soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty will survive.

Even the aristocratic families and sect disciples who came to support may be completely annihilated.

Even the people in the city will be devastated and ravaged.

How many people can survive?

No!

He can't die!

For the sake of all the soldiers, for the people of the city, and even more for Lu Fan, no matter how hard he tries, he will hold Zhennan Pass!
Thinking of this, Zhao Fei tightened the knife in his hand.

Tian Yi on the other side was falling rapidly, but before he landed, he stabilized his body, stepped on the city wall lightly with both feet, and his body rose into the air again.

The next moment he had come to the city wall, looked at Zhao Fei coldly, and was about to speak when he saw Zhao Fei slash at him again.

"court death!"

Tian Yi turned cold and stabbed the spear out against the light of the saber.

When the knife air and gun shadow met, a loud noise erupted.

With a strong attack, Zhao Fei retreated a few steps before stabilizing his body.

His face changed slightly, but he couldn't hold it back, and spewed out another mouthful of blood.

The face is like gold paper.

On the other hand, Tian Yi only took half a step back.

High judgment.

This will not work.

Zhao Fei knew that if he continued to fight like this, he would soon die in the hands of the opponent, but he would not be able to cause actual damage to the opponent.

It's better to fight to the death.

Even if he died, at least the other party would be seriously injured.

Maybe it can still leave a glimmer of life for Zhennanguan.

Thinking of this, he began to gather strength.

"boom!"

His whole body was burning with spiritual energy.

The power that erupted in that instant made his body unable to bear it.

"Die!"

Zhao Fei yelled, and rushed towards Tian Yi with a knife.

However, Tian Yi was not afraid at all, his wrist shook lightly, and countless spear shadows gathered into a powerful spear intent, sweeping towards Zhao Fei with endless momentum.

Zhao Fei didn't dodge, and charged towards the spear intent.

Blood splattered everywhere.

But his castration didn't stop, and the next moment, he slammed into Tian Yi's body fiercely.

"boom!"

There was a loud noise, and the two flew upside down at the same time.

Blood was sprinkled in the air.

Zhao Fei closed his eyes tightly, and vaguely heard cheers coming from a distance.

"It's Lu Fan!"

"Lu Fan is here!"

"Great!"

"Lu Fan is finally back!"

"Zhennanguan is saved!"

Although the sound was far away, it was very loud, and it became clearer and clearer.

Lu Fan is back?
Zhao Fei opened his eyes suddenly, he wanted to look back, but he didn't have the strength.

But at this moment, he feels inexplicably at ease.

Lu Fan, you are finally back!
I promised you something, and I didn't break my promise.

Even if it is death, I will guard this escape route for you!
Zhennan Pass is still there!
I'll leave the rest to you.

It's a pity, I can't see the day when you lead your army to the north and sweep the countries.

I can't even see your future growth.

In a daze, Zhao Fei heard Lu Fan's voice from a distance, "Master Zhao, I'm back!"

It really is you, yes.

At this time, Zhao Fei was completely sure that it was really Lu Fan who had returned.

He can leave with peace of mind.

"boom!"

Zhao Fei fell heavily to the ground, and his consciousness gradually disappeared.

Lu Fan, who was rushing over quickly, saw this scene, and his heart suddenly jumped.

He hurried, but it was still too late.

"Master Zhao!"

When Lu Fan came to Zhao Fei, he was covered in blood and wounds, but his face was extremely peaceful.

It seems that there is nothing to worry about.

He squatted down and tried his breath, but there was no breath left.

died!

Did he really die?

I didn't even have time to see him for the last time.

I didn't even have time to listen to him say a few words.

Lu Fan only felt a pain in his heart, and endless anger was burning.

Deceiving too much!

Damn you invaders!
He tightened the gun in his hand, jumped up, flew up the city wall, came to the place where Zhao Fei fought just now, and looked out of the city.

At this time, Tian Yi just got up from the ground, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and his face was a little angry.

You don't know good and bad things, and you want to fight him desperately?
Fortunately, his physical body was relatively strong, but he was only slightly injured.

Otherwise, it would be really troublesome.

Suddenly, he felt a chill, and his heart trembled inexplicably.

Ok?
Tian Yi looked up, and happened to see a boy in black armor standing on the top of the wall, looking at him coldly.

His eyes were full of hatred, as if he wanted to kill him with his eyes.

Lu Fan?

He remembered, as if he heard someone calling this name just now.

Looking at the boy's appearance and clothes, it was exactly the same as in the legend.

Could it be that Lu Fan really came back?
The war in Chu is over?

How can it be?

But the fact was in front of him, and he had to believe it.

"You are Lu Fan?"

Tian Yi didn't dare to meet Lu Fan's gaze, and his gaze was dodged.

He had heard of Lu Fan's name a long time ago, but he always felt that it was exaggerated.

It's someone with ulterior motives who deliberately exaggerates Dalufan's strength and achievements.

The purpose is to deter them, but also to boost the morale of the Great Zhou army.

But when I saw it today, Lu Fan just gave him a look, which made him panic and uneasy.

How strong is the opponent?

He suddenly became a little timid, and because he had just been injured, he was shocked by Zhao Fei's fearless strength. Under the multiple impacts, the anger in his heart was exhausted, and he turned around and left.

War is not a contest, so he doesn't need to be brave.

After all, he has an army of 30 behind him, and a large number of people is his advantage.

No matter how strong Lu Fan is, he can't stand up to so many people.

Sooner or later, he will be heaped to death by his employers.

"Want to go?"

Lu Fan snorted coldly, took off the bow and arrow, and quickly opened the bow and set the arrow.

"Shhhhhh!"

Continuous cracking sounds sounded.

Hearing the sound, Tian Yi tried to dodge, but was shocked to find that no matter where he hid, those few arrows followed him like a shadow.

What kind of archery is this?
In desperation, he could only turn around and slash the spear in his hand.

"clang!"

With a crisp sound, the violent power suddenly exploded.

Tian Yi's tiger's mouth was shattered, and the spear came out of his hand, and even half of his body was numb from the shock.

The arrow didn't stop, and pierced into Tian Yi's left shoulder.

"Oh!"

A powerful force struck and flew Tian Yi away.

The next moment, he fell heavily.

The arrow still had some strength left, and it sank into the soil, nailing him to the ground.

"what!"

Only then did the screams sound.

Not only miserable, but also full of despair and fear.

Tian Yi never imagined that Lu Fan could be so strong.

With his innate cultivation base, he can't even stop the opponent's arrow?
It turned out that the rumors were true.

Lu Fan turned out to be stronger than the legend.

Is he going to die here today?

No.

Tian Yi struggled to get up, but was shocked to find that he couldn't move, and the meridians in his body were completely sealed.

Moreover, the spiritual power in his body showed signs of collapsing.

Finished!

He sighed in his heart, feeling powerless.

In Lu Fan's hands, he was powerless to fight back.

Without allowing him to think too much, the second arrow arrived again.

"Oh!"

The sharp arrow pierced fiercely into his heart, instantly shattering his heart.

Lu Fan put away his bow and arrow, and jumped down from the city wall.

Facing the tide of enemy troops, he held a cold iron spear in his left hand and a Kunwu knife in his right hand.

The next moment, cloudy clouds shrouded, and white ice flowers fluttered down one after another.

What followed was a bone-chilling chill.

On the other side, the sky is full of stars.

Countless stars are falling at an extreme speed, as if the sky and the earth are reversed, and the galaxy is cracking.

Seeing this scene, the tide of enemy troops suddenly stopped.

They had never seen such a spectacle.

Even the shouts of killing on the city wall have weakened a bit.

It was as if the whole world fell silent.

Only the ice flowers rushing toward the face and the starlight all over the sky remained.

This situation is very strange.

The ice flakes fell on the enemy soldiers, on their heads.

Some people even picked it up with their hands, their eyes full of confusion.

It's not snow, and it's not ice.

What's more, where does the snow come from in the south?

However, this blossoming little flower is really beautiful.

Just now.

Countless ice flowers bloom at the same time, extremely coquettish and beautiful.

At the same time, the sky was full of stars pouring down.

"boom!"

With continuous bangs, the berserk force exploded in the enemy's formation.

Bloody flowers rose in the air, and the blood mist began to fill.

The strong smell of blood wafted with the wind, making me want to vomit.

"what!"

The shrill screams and wails continued, as if they had entered the Shura field.

The enemy army fell in pieces, like harvested crops.

There was no one standing around Lu Fan.

In an instant, thousands of people died under his blow.

Countless people were injured.

He just stood there quietly, surrounded by corpses and rivers of blood.

As if he was the only one left in the world.

After standing there for a while, the rest of the enemy soldiers finally came to their senses, turned around and ran away in fright.

They had never seen such a terrible person.

With a wave of hands, thousands of people were wiped out.

That's not a human being, but a killing god descending into the world!
They were so frightened that their livers and gallbladders were torn apart, they just wanted to escape here quickly.

I never want to see that black-armored boy again.

Don't even want to think about it.

terrible!

But they know that today's scene has been engraved in their minds and cannot be lingered.

Even if they wanted to forget it on purpose, they could do nothing.

Even in his whole life, he can't forget it.

It will be their nightmare forever.

They also knew that the boy in black armor was Lu Fan.

They had heard this name all the time, and when they actually saw it today, they realized that this cold boy was actually stronger and more ruthless than the legends said!
At this time, on the city wall, both sides of the war also stopped their hands, watching all this in astonishment.

As if in a dream, it is so unreal.

"what!"

An exclamation sounded.

The enemy soldiers on the city wall finally came to their senses, they didn't dare to stay for a moment, and jumped off the city wall in a panic.

He fell to death and injured countless people.

Those who barely survived ran away.

They were all frightened by Lu Fan.

I would rather fall to my death than face such a terrible person.

Even people who are not afraid of death feel fear at this moment.

Not being afraid of death is one thing.

But like this death, no one wants to experience it.

"what!"

With terrified shouts, the enemy retreated like a tide.

Going faster than coming.

In a blink of an eye, he retreated cleanly.

The people on the city wall stared blankly at Lu Fan with a slightly dazed expression.

what happened?

"It's Lu Fan!"

Someone recognized Lu Fan and exclaimed.

"It's really Lu Fan!"

"He's finally back!"

"Great!"

More people recognized Lu Fan and cheered.

At this moment, they were completely relaxed and extremely at ease.

Because they all know that as long as Lu Fan is there, Zhennanguan will not be lost.

And they can survive.

Finally made it through!

They swore to defend Zhennan Pass to the death, wasn't it just for this moment?
Wait for Lu Fan to come back!
