79. Falling Moon Xiongguan
The three armies of the Los Kingdom all surrendered without any hindrance in the towns they passed on their way to the Brilliant Royal City. There were only a few who resisted, but they were easily wiped out by the army. The Brilliant Kingdom has been in power for nearly three hundred years, but it has
Because of the greed, cruelty, and dark rule of the modern glorious king, the people of the current glorious kingdom are dedicated, and the nobles only care about themselves and not the country, so they were easily invaded by the Los Kingdom. Even if there was no attack from the Los Kingdom, it would probably not be possible.
How long will it take for a civil commotion to occur?
The three armies of the Los Kingdom should not be the fourth army. There is also an army composed of the affiliated principalities of the Los Kingdom. The four armies met together in front of the Luoyue Pass, the last barrier of the Brilliant Royal City.
The area where Luoyue Xiongguan is located is full of steep peaks and cliffs, hundreds of feet high. The continuous cliffs completely separate the east from the Brilliant Royal City. The only exit is Luoyue Xiongguan. After all, it is difficult for ordinary people to climb this high mountain.
A hundred-foot-long cliff. Luoyue Xiongguan is located on the only flat land among the mountains and cliffs. With the mountain and cliff as a natural barrier, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack. It is the last barrier in the east of the Brilliant King City. If the Los Kingdom does not attack and take a detour,
It will take at least more than twenty days to reach the Brilliant King's City. In this case, all the defenders of the Brilliant Kingdom will gather in the Brilliant King's City. Then the Los Kingdom's wish to destroy the Brilliant Kingdom will be in vain. And if Luoyue Xiongguan is captured,
It only takes two days to reach the Brilliant King's City, so if the Los Kingdom wants to quickly eliminate the Brilliant Kingdom, it must capture the Luoyue Pass.
There were originally more than a thousand soldiers guarding Luoyue Xiongguan, and they were strong and strong. However, due to King Brilliant's reduction of finances and the use of his own pleasure, very little wages were paid. As a result, most of the young and middle-aged men left the army to make a living on their own, leaving only
Some lazy and old, weak, sick and disabled people still remain in the army, so now there are only more than 400 people in Luoyue Xiongguan, and most of them are old, weak, sick and disabled. And due to insufficient wages, sometimes even
In order to pay wages, the guards at Luoyue Xiongguan had no choice but to secretly increase the customs fees for the caravans. However, in order to prevent the superiors from blaming them, most of them were turned over to the superiors and they turned a blind eye, and the rest was used to pay wages.
, but it was still not enough, so the defender had to secretly sell all the city's crossbows and catapults, leaving only some seriously damaged ones to support the scene.
The guard thought that the glorious kingdom had been peaceful for a long time, and there was no possibility of war, so it didn't matter. As a result, the guard looked at the densely packed enemy troops and suddenly had the urge to jump from here, "Damn, what on earth is this?"
What's going on? Why are all the crossbows and slings broken?" A strong man with a strong back and strong eyes and sharp eyes said angrily. "General, general, it may be that everything is broken due to disrepair." The guard swallowed.
Drooling, he said tremblingly. "Yes, yes, the general must have been in disrepair for a long time." The soldiers around him were all talking nonsense, and the general frowned and looked at the pale guard.
The soldiers who kept interceding with the surroundings understood that the crossbows and slings must have been sold by the guard general, and they were surrounded by soldiers who sincerely interceded for the guard general. Presumably, the money was distributed to the soldiers by the guard general to serve as
Salary, hey, if it weren’t for Your Majesty...hey.
The general was afraid of triggering a mutiny, but also for national reasons, and they needed to rely on them to guard the border, so he did not intend to pursue the case and said loudly: "Please calm down, everyone. I understand the reason very well, and I also understand your difficulties. We are facing a national crisis now.
Forget this matter, I hope you can guard Luoyue Xiongguan with me, and we must not let the bastards from the Los Kingdom capture Luoyue Xiongguan." When the guards and soldiers heard that the general would not hold them responsible, they were very happy and had a look on their faces.
He happily responded: "Yes, I will defend Luoyue Xiongguan to the death, and I will defend Luoyue Xiongguan to the death." The general looked at the rejoicing soldiers and nodded happily.
Not afraid.
This general's name is Zhan Meng. He is the only person in the Brilliant Kingdom who has been awarded the position of general. He commands the entire army. His strength is at the peak of sword masters and he is halfway to the hero level. He is loyal and is the absolute confidant of the former Brilliant King.
, before the death of the former glorious king, he handed over all the armies of the country to his command just so that he could assist the current king. Zhan Meng is very grateful to the previous king for his kindness and worked hard to develop the country. If the current king does something wrong,
The local government advised him not to let the king abuse his power. The country slowly developed due to Zhan Meng's efforts. However, due to the villain's instigation, the current king removed Zhan Meng's military power and retained the title of general, allowing Zhan Meng to
He was kept idle at home and was not allowed to participate in national affairs.
Because without Zhan Meng's advice, the current king completely let himself go, abused his power, and turned into a greedy and lustful tyrant. The country became poorer and declining under the king's rule, while the nobles became more and more powerful.
, there was a vague threat to the king's power. Zhan Meng saw it in his eyes and was anxious in his heart, but he had no way to do it, because he was loyal to the king and could not disobey any of the king's orders. He was really a foolish and loyal general.
But now, due to the attack of the Los Kingdom, the current king has no choice but to re-activate Zhan Meng and let him lead most of the garrison of the Brilliant Royal City to guard the Luoyue Pass. The troops brought by Zhan Meng plus the troops in the pass total more than 3,000 people.
