Most of the new recruits did not understand the meaning of this flag. The veterans around them first forced them to salute the general's flag, and then began to tell and describe Shangguan Jiangmen's past little by little.
After hearing this, 99% of the recruits spontaneously and sincerely saluted the flag again.
…
"Is there something wrong with the city wall?" Qiu Jianhan heard Fu Baoguo solemnly point out the loopholes in the city wall. The two of them came to the place where the city wall had the problem, leaned over and looked carefully.
For a long time, Marshal Qiu did not straighten up.
This old marshal, who has experienced hundreds of battles and is the most skilled in military affairs, has truly seen the problem.
Now the shortcomings of the city wall are no longer limited to the initial protrusion of a palm, but... already close to half a foot!
There is such a hidden danger, Yutang... Even if the reinforcements arrive and their combat strength reaches its peak, they still cannot survive for five days!
Such a loophole is fatal, but it has a huge impact on the combat strength and morale of our own soldiers.
"Baiyi." Qiu Jianhan greeted Baiyixue and said with hope: "It's this stone... with your cultivation level... can you..."
Bai Yixue looked around, pondered for a long time, and finally shook her head slightly with a bitter look on her face.
"I can easily push this stone in. But... I can't guarantee that the stone in the distance can really be restored to its original state. The greater possibility is that after I push the stone, not only will it be useless, but it will shake it. The surrounding stones further made the city wall unbalanced and even more unstable... "
Bai Yixue's words made Qiu Jianhan's last glimmer of hope disappear.
He understood what Bai Yixue meant.
All the stones that build the city wall are all tightly together, like a whole. Although this protruding stone causes flaws in the Zhengdao city wall, the city wall can still support it for a while. Instead, Bai Yixue pushed this piece to its original position, seemingly restoring it to its original shape, but in fact, due to the strong squeezing, problems appeared in other places where there were no cracks before!
If those cracks do appear, the consequences will only be more deadly!
If there is a buffer, Bai Yixue can push the stone in and then repair the cracks, which can be completed in a short time, but can Dongxuan give Yutang this time
Absolutely impossible!
Fu Baoguo's face darkened. The battle situation that could have been changed after the arrival of the old marshal turned out to be a disadvantage. He subconsciously asked softly: "Old marshal... I dare to ask you... Lord Nine... when can you come?"
This is the issue that Fu Baoguo is most concerned about, and it is also the only direct way to get out of trouble!
Qiu Jianhan felt a pain like a knife in his heart, and he couldn't help but angrily shouted: "Fu Baoguo, what are you thinking? Don't you think you won't fight since the Nine Lords are gone in Yutang?! The war in Yutang must be fought in Nine Can you please come forward to end it?!"
Fu Baoguo lowered his head and said with difficulty: "Old Marshal, this battle is extraordinary. Brothers... the battle was too miserable... "
Qiu Jianhan was silent for a moment and said softly: "The situation in this battle is tragic, I don't know, but... Master Jiuzun... or, this time... is... really can't come."
When Fu Baoguo heard this, his expression suddenly changed.
He knew very well what the old marshal meant.
With Master Jiu Zun’s speed, temper, and character, how could he not come
If you really can't come... then... then there is only one possibility!
That possibility that Fu Baoguo didn't dare to think about!
"According to previous intelligence, a huge lake suddenly appeared in the vast mountains 6,500 miles southeast of here just a few days ago... Several surrounding mountains were razed to the ground. All the trees and rocks on the flat ground were smashed to pieces, as if they had suffered a natural disaster, and everything was devastated."
The old marshal closed his eyes and said: "There should have been a big battle there! However, the number of people participating in the battle was definitely not many..."
"And the route from southern Xinjiang to Dongfang... is almost the only way..."
"Obviously, this war was deliberately designed to target the Nine Lords. After this battle, there has been no news from the Lord Nine Lords!"
Fu Baoguo was stunned!
Even with Qiu Jianhan's explanation, how could he not understand the profound meaning of these sentences with his military literacy
What's more, he himself is a person who has a lot of experience in the various methods of transcending self-awareness in the Four Seasons Tower. His heart instantly became bone-chilling!
Qiu Jianhan let out a long sigh: "According to time calculation, about twenty days have passed since Lord Yun Zun left Southern Xinjiang. It was only after that that this lake appeared; in other words... Lord Yun Zun was there. The fighting... lasted for at least twenty days!"
"However, since then, there has really been no news..."
"Although no news is good news, but..."
After hearing Qiu Jianhan's words, Fu Baoguo felt as if the sky above his head had fallen.
Here, the city wall of Tieguguan is in irreversible condition, and over there, Lord Yun Zun also suffered a horrific attack!
"Serve the country!"
Qiu Jianhan said in a deep voice: "This news needs to be kept extremely confidential. At present, in the entire Yutang... only you and I know... the top secret information that only His Majesty and Old Leng Fang Taiwei know..."
Fu Baoguo replied mechanically: "I understand."
Although he said yes, Fu Baoguo's mind was already blank at this moment.
The person who made the contract on that day, or... is no longer there, who should I honor my oath to? !
In addition to the main reason for persisting in this journey, which is to fulfill my duty as a citizen of Yutang, another reason is to let Lord Yun Zun know that what he left behind that day was not wrong, and that he really paid his dues. He sacrificed everything and guarded Iron Bone Pass with his life!
But now...
"Now this side of the city wall..." Qiu Jianhan's face was full of hesitation.
Fu Baoguo, however, grabbed a handful of ice and snow and rubbed it hard on his face and neck. Only then did he feel calmer. After a meal, he finally suggested: "The old marshal once said that the last resort is , I don’t know... Then the last resort... "
Qiu Jianhan's old face was full of vicissitudes of life: "I am just thinking about the last move at this moment."
Fu Baoguo said: "Dare you ask the old marshal?..."
Qiu Jianhan said with difficulty: "This last move can make Tieguguan last... for one more month. But it will definitely not be possible for more. Even after using this move, I still have no confidence that I can survive Hanshanhe. My men, they really lasted a month."
Fu Baoguo was suddenly shocked: "One more month? Really one month?!"
After hearing this number, Fu Baoguo's eyes shone!
Now, even if he could hold on for one more day, it was all a luxury in Fu Baoguo's opinion, but he could actually hold on for one more month? !
At this moment, Fu Baoguo felt like he was alive after hearing the words "stay for one more month."
But Qiu Jianhan's face was ugly.
If he had a choice, he definitely didn't want to use this last resort.
Because, once this move is used, Iron Bone Pass... this unbreakable pass recognized by the world will not be able to be reused for a long time, or it should be said that it will be destroyed!
"May I ask the old marshal, what is the method? It is so effective?!" Fu Baoguo asked with excitement in his eyes.
…
Opposite, on the side of the Dongxuan camp, Han Shanhe stood on a high place, covered with thick fur, frowning, looking at the Iron Bone Pass on the other side from a distance, and sighed slightly.
"Teacher, it's windy on the mountain, let's go back to the handsome tent." Zhan Ge said.
"Well, wait a while, I want to see if Qiu Jianhan will use that method!" Han Shanhe said slowly.
"That method? What method?" Zhan Ge asked in confusion.
"The last resort! The last resort to deal with the current crisis!"
Han Shanhe smiled bitterly and said: "Unexpectedly, I ended up facing Qiu Jianhan... I originally thought that Fu Baoguo wouldn't be able to hold on for a few days, but I didn't expect that when I actually faced Fu Baoguo, I saw him as if he had been reborn. Every time I faced him, The methods are extremely precise, targeted and orderly, and even more... and more appropriate than imagined... Fu Baoguo has really grown up! If he can survive this battle, the title of the first general in Tianxuan Continent will only be I’m afraid it will change hands!”
"Teacher, what you said is too much praise for Fu Baoguo. As long as the teacher is still alive, the title of the first general in Tianxuan Continent will never be forgotten!" Zhan Ge said with emotion.
Although Zhan Ge once faced off against Fu Baoguo and experienced Fu Baoguo's power personally, he had to admit that he would never be able to do what Fu Baoguo was like if he changed positions, but when it comes to Fu Baoguo being able to replace Han Shanhe and become the next continent's No. 1 A general, the war song is still not recognized!
Han Shanhe paused and said, "Do you know why I chose to continue to increase my troops despite the heavy casualties? Do you want to continue fighting?"
Zhan Ge said: "Please tell me the details, teacher."
Zhan Song also doesn't understand this point.
In the current war, the time, place, people, and people are not on Dongxuan's side. However, his teacher was determined to fight to the death no matter what.
This thing is indeed strange.
