Quick Wear: The Demon Lord blew up the tomb at the beginning

Li Chongguang warmed his hands in a basin of hot water, took the towel handed over by Jiang Xinyue, wiped his hands and said, "You are right, this is not my fault. It is all the ministers who have misled me!"

"Those court officials kept saying they were serving the country, but they were useless when it came to the critical moment. And what were those soldiers for? It's said that you should train an army for a thousand days but deploy it for a single day. They ate my food, but in the end, all 450,000 soldiers were wiped out. They are really a bunch of rubbish."

Li Chongguang became more and more excited as he spoke, and in the end he looked up to the sky and shouted: "It is all my ministers who misled me, not my fault!!"

Li Chongguang felt that there was nothing wrong with him from the beginning to the end. It was not his fault that he could not win the battle, but the responsibility of the civil and military officials in the court and the soldiers.

Those officials enjoy their salaries, but cannot offer advice at the critical moment. There is no point in me keeping them; those soldiers cannot kill the enemy at the critical moment, but are instead annihilated by the Khitan. It is better for him to raise a group of pigs, at least the pigs can be eaten.

Jiang Xinbai did not interrupt, but just listened quietly. She knew what to do and when to do it, and how to win Li Chongguang's favor.

"It is only now that I can see everything clearly and know who truly loves me." Li Chongguang's face was full of bitterness, and then he became angry: "Those ministers said they would die for me, but now I have been trapped in the enemy camp for many days, but no one has come to rescue me, and the court has not sent anyone to come. Have they forgotten me, the emperor?"

Just as Jiang Xinbai was about to speak, Li Chongguang stood up, held her in his arms, and whispered in her ear, "Xinbai, you've been by my side these past few days. You're the only one I can trust now."

Jiang Xinbai leaned steadily in Li Chongguang's arms, a smile on her lips. She felt that she was getting closer and closer to the position of queen.

Gently leaving Li Chongguang's arms, he said softly, "Your Majesty, you are the ruler of a country and have great fortune. The sufferings you are going through now are all experiences given to you by God. As long as you get through this ordeal, when you return to the capital, you will still be the supreme ruler who controls the lives and deaths of the people."

Li Chongguang was very touched by Jiang Xinbai's comfort. If God wants to give a man a great responsibility, he must first make him suffer...

"Don't worry, when I return to the capital, you will be my queen." Li Chongguang looked at Jiang Xinbai affectionately.

The two looked at each other, then hugged each other warmly.

…………

October seventeenth.

At Humen Pass, the sky was already dark.

The interior of the pass was shrouded in darkness. Zhang Hu and his soldiers were patrolling on the city walls, and they did not relax even when it was dark.

Humen Pass, as an important border defense location, must not be lost in his hands.

At this moment, a scout who had gone to investigate the enemy came running over in a panic: "Report, the enemy is attacking, there are about 50,000 people. It is still five miles away from Humen Pass."

Zhang Hu's face changed. He took the torch handed to him by the soldiers below and looked into the distance on the city wall. He could see dense human figures moving in the darkness and approaching Humen Pass.

The enemy's blades also shone coldly under the moonlight.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Hu was like he was facing a formidable enemy, but he did not flinch: "Everyone obey my orders, fight to the death, if we are imprisoned, we survive, if we are imprisoned, we die."

"General... General, there are only 10,000 soldiers at Humen Pass and the old, weak and disabled. We can't resist at all. If we fight hard, not only will Humen Pass be lost, but we will also lose our people. It is better to retain our troops and retreat to Shuoyang City..."

Swish! ! !

Before the soldier could finish his words, Zhang Hu chopped off his head with a knife.

Some soldiers who wanted to retreat were shocked by this scene and dared not talk about retreating anymore.

Anyone who escapes will die. Now the only chance of survival is to fight to the death.

"The coward will die!!"

Zhang Hu shouted at everyone. He would not have done so under normal circumstances, but now was a matter of life and death. If these soldiers were given the idea that they could retreat if they could not win, they would think of retreating.

Now that he had given up on this idea, they could only fight to the death.

He knew what the outcome would be, but he absolutely could not retreat. He raised the torch in his hand high and said to everyone, "Think about your parents, wives and children. They definitely don't want you to be a deserter. Even if you die, you must die here. This is not only for Dayan, but also for your families behind you."

"Now everyone prepare your arrows and weapons... Let's fight them, and we will be heroes in our next life."

After Zhang Hu finished speaking, all the soldiers shouted in unison: "Fight them, fight them..."

The tragic voice echoed in Humen Pass for a long time.

Then the soldiers set up their bows and arrows, some soldiers brought stones to throw, and some soldiers held up shields...

A quarter of an hour later, Yelu Bei led 50,000 cavalrymen to the city. He drew the sword from his waist and pointed it at Humen Pass: "Khitan men, charge!!!"

"After we seize Humen Pass, we can have fun with the women of Dayan as we please. If that's not enough, let them send a few princesses over..."

"Hahahaha..." The Khitan soldiers burst into laughter upon hearing this.

"Rush!!!"

On the other side, Zhang Hu shouted: "Shoot!!"

Arrows rained down like an overwhelming force, and the Khitan soldiers were well prepared and also took out arrows and shot at the city walls.

In an instant, countless soldiers died on the spot, and countless soldiers took over. In the end, even the old, weak and disabled soldiers took over.

The entire wall of Humen Pass was dyed red with blood.

The soldiers at Humen Pass died one after another, but the Khitan soldiers could not be completely destroyed. It seemed that it was only a matter of time before Humen Pass was breached.

"Is Humen Pass really going to fail?"

Zhang Hu was hit by several arrows and looked unwillingly at the group of arrogant Khitan soldiers at the city gate.

And it was at this moment.

"General Zhang, I'm here to help you..."

The voice came from behind Zhang Hu. Chen He came hurriedly with reinforcements, and with him were several generals.

These few days, after receiving Xie Lang's order, he hurried here with 50,000 troops guarding the capital. On the way, he also transferred several generals and troops from various counties along the way, totaling about 70,000 people.

As soon as he arrived, he divided his troops into three groups. Xie Lang predicted that there would be heavy rain and mudslides at Qi Yan Mountain at 3:30 p.m. tonight. Qi Yan Mountain was also the only way from Humen Pass to the Khitan royal court, so he sent 10,000 soldiers to ambush on Qi Yan Mountain; 30,000 soldiers were sent to Shuoyang City. Shuoyang City was of vital importance and must not have any mistakes.

He brought the remaining 30,000 troops to support us, and they just managed to arrive now...

If we want to defend the city, thirty thousand are enough.

When Zhang Hu saw the reinforcements coming behind him, he immediately became very excited. He seemed not to feel any pain even after being shot by an arrow. He shouted: "Humen Pass is defended! Humen Pass is defended!!"

After shouting these words, he fell down.

"General, general..."
