Mountains and rivers are waiting for you to return

Chapter 177 Kunjin City

The next morning, it was still dark in the east.

When it was still dark, the Qilu reinforcements led by Pei Naidai, the Tianyao Northwest Border Army led by Han Ruize, and the Tianyao Yongzhou garrison led by Shao Liran, the three armies set out from the three exits of the underground city at the same time, heading to three directions to fight the enemy with a clear purpose.

At noon, the sun was shining brightly in the sky, and Pei Nai led his troops to the outskirts of Kunjin City.

At the same time, they received a message from a military pigeon that Han Ruize's side had officially engaged in battle with the Wu army in the north.

Pei Naigao sat on his horse and put the letter in his arms.

She was not worried that Han Ruize and Shao Liran would fail. The remnants of the bandits, who were already on the verge of collapse, would not hinder the progress of General Pei's army.

She stood on a high slope, overlooking Kunjin City on the plain.

Behind him were the mighty soldiers and cavalry of Qilu, with a vast ocean of golden weapons and swords, and no one could see their end.

Kunjin City is closest to Wu Jun's initial invasion point. When Wu Jun used the poison, the defenders and civilians of Kunjin City were caught off guard, and only 30,000 people escaped into the underground city.

Three hundred thousand people from Kunjin City were killed on the spot, and another 60,000 people turned into poisonous monsters, feeding on the flesh and blood of the victims and wandering around the city.

Corpses are lying all over the ground and flies are swarming everywhere. This is the current situation of Kunjin City.

The smell of blood mixed with the wind; even from a long distance away, they could smell the despairing breath of death.

According to the military report of the investigation, Wu Jun originally planned to meet up in the western suburbs of Kunjin City, but they must have received the news that Han Ruize and his men had started a war in the north.

Then, why didn't the main army led by "Huyan Weizhao" flee, but instead stayed put and waited for their arrival in the western suburbs of Kunjin City?
"See what tricks they are going to play?" Pei Nai ordered, "All troops should be on alert and pass through the north of Kunjin City."

Gu Jinheng rode his horse beside her and translated her words into Qilu language and passed them on to the generals of Qilu.

All the generals received the order and went down to pass it on.

Pei Nai called one of them again, "General Yelu!"

Although the man could not speak Tianyao language, he understood that his name was being called. He stopped in a hurry, turned around, held his sword, and waited for military orders.

"You take five troops and go around from the south of Kunjin City. When you reach the middle of the giant road casting line, you will see a field on the plain. Don't get close to it. Shoot arrows into the field. If you encounter the enemy, fight flexibly." Pei Nai said.

After hearing this, Gu Jinheng raised his eyebrows slightly, as if a little surprised, but he still translated the words to General Yelu verbatim.

General Yelu's eyes widened after hearing this, and he was extremely confused. "Why do you do this?"

Gu Jinheng translated it for Pei Nai.

Pei Nai was not impatient and just said, "Feeling."

Gu Jinheng's mouth moved slightly, as if he was suppressing a slight smile, and he translated it directly to General Yelu.

General Yelu was not annoyed after hearing this. Instead, he felt as if he had been enlightened. He gave her a thumbs up, bowed, took the order, and turned around with his subordinates.

"Mr. Rong, I remember there are some large defense mechanisms near Kunjin City. Please follow my gestures and the direction I indicate and open the corresponding mechanisms as I move my hand. Please take your positions." Pei Nai said to the senior mechanical engineer who was accompanying him from the Valley Kingdom.

Senior Rong bowed and said, "I accept your command!"

He acted in the same way as Lu Xulan did before, using light Kung Fu to jump and grab the rope of the mechanism on a tall tree on the hillside, reaching the activation point of the secret defense mechanism, and made a gesture to Pei Nai that he was ready.

Pei Nai turned her eyes away and looked at the Qilu army that was marching according to her orders, and then looked at the lonely city in the distance that was dead silent.

She said to Gu Jinheng on horseback: "I can't avenge Qu Mufeng and Zhou Yuliang yet, but I will avenge Ju Yan and Huyan Weizhao this time no matter what."

As soon as she finished speaking, before Gu Jinheng could respond, there was an unusual movement at the east gate of Kunjin City.

The movement was very small at first, and Pei Nai only noticed it when he followed Gu Jinheng's gaze.

"Army, line up!" Penay shouted.

There are always soldiers in the army who can understand some of Tianyao's words, and when they see the direction Pei Nai is looking, they remind each other.

The entire army quickly stacked up two layers of shields on the side of Kunjin City, and pointed their spears outward through the gaps.

More than 100,000 people remained silent, all looking towards the direction of Kunjin City. When everything was silent, a loud noise was heard.

The gate of Kunjin City could not bear the force pushed by countless poisonous people and fell to the ground with a loud bang, raising dust.

Such a coincidence, I think the East City Gate itself was tampered with by the Wu people.

According to the statistics of the Valley Kingdom, there are about 60,000 mutated poisonous monsters in Kunjin City. At this moment, they are like ants piled on a mountain, densely packed into a black river, rushing towards the army.

The earth was shaking from the monsters' rapid running, and sharp roars and screams came one after another.

Pei Nai stretched out his hand and pointed his arm at the underground mechanism in the open space outside the east of the city. He looked at Rong Lao, and when his arm was about to fall to signal him to open the mechanism, he was stopped by Gu Jinheng.

"No need." Gu Jinheng's pressure swept away with his words.

There seemed to be a steaming wave in the air, making the scene distorted and blurred. Under the pressure, countless poisonous monsters fell to the ground.

It was as if a huge wave had overturned the shore, and a huge army of monsters fell down from near and far.

The crisis is over!

The Qilu soldiers had put down their shields one after another, speechless, looking at each other, unable to hide the surprise in their eyes.

Since they had been traveling with Gu Jinheng all the way, they knew the source of the pressure. Combined with the rumors in the martial arts world over the years, they all knew that this was the work of Huo Jiang's Yin Gong.

The monsters were either lying on their stomachs or on their backs, using their arms to claw forward like struggling mantises, trying to continue climbing towards their food.

But the monsters' legs were completely destroyed and they couldn't get up. They crawled with their hands and their speed was almost negligible.

Sixty thousand poisonous monsters were all eliminated before they could completely leave the city.

Pei Nai looked at Gu Jinheng worriedly. His face looked fine, but Pei Nai still asked, "Can your body hold on?"

"It's just breaking their leg bones, that's okay." Gu Jinheng said calmly.

Pei Nai nodded in understanding. This would consume less of his Dan Dao Shen Qi. "I think your Dan Dao Shen Qi Yin Gong should be much more powerful than your master. If Li Sanniang is the same as you, she can fight against an army alone. Huo Jiang's Yin Gong is more than just Liujiang. We have to make room for you in Shangsanshan."

Gu Jinheng looked at her, tilted his head slightly, and moved the corners of his mouth slightly as a response.

He obviously liked to be praised by himself, but he didn't say it. Pei Nai was happy in his heart. If it weren't for the war, he would have wanted to go up and rub his face.

Suddenly, Gu Jinheng withdrew his gaze and looked far into the west of Kunjin City.

"The main force of the Wu clan has begun to move towards Jumen in the southwest." Gu Jinheng heard the movement in the distance and reminded Pei Nai.

Pei Nai immediately shouted an order: "The whole army should pursue!"

The soldiers of Qilu who had been defending quickly retreated and mounted their horses, and thousands of horses galloped straight after the Wu tribe.

The catastrophe has been overcome, and the road ahead is clear.

The Wu tribe has repeatedly invaded the borders of various countries, burning, killing, looting, and committing all kinds of evil. No one in the East can help but hate the Wu tribe.

New and old grudges are waiting to be resolved, and the whole army is full of fighting spirit!
They followed the great road that ran from east to west, and rushed across the plains south of the road's casting line.

Pei Nai swung his arm in the direction where the Wu army was fleeing. When he reached the location, he looked at Rong Lao and lowered his arm diagonally.

Elder Rong turned the mechanism, and at the other end of the ground wire, the ground cracked regularly, causing a downward collapse. The soil shifted, revealing countless metal spikes inside.

Wu Jun was in the middle of the team, and the soldiers in the middle had nowhere to hide, so they fell into the trap and were either buried in the ground or pierced by spikes.

Only a very small number of Wu people within the trap survived and are still struggling underground.

The entire formation of Wu Jun seemed to have a hole cut out from the center out of thin air. The soldiers outside the trap escaped, but were already panicking and had no idea what to do.

Pei Nai, who was standing on the high slope, overlooked everything in the distance and smiled, "So, don't underestimate the mechanical arts of the Valley Country."
