"Enemy attack, enemy attack …"
"Someone …"
"The mountain pass has been broken, hurry …"
Suddenly, the sound of it stopped. It became shrill and low. There was no sound anymore. Flames came from all directions and smoke filled the air. The crossbow arrows continued to shoot into the mountain pass.
Within the mountain pass, everything was in chaos. As the matter was brought into the mountain pass, the bandits outside of the mountain pass also began their fierce attacks.
Under the cover of several ballista trucks, the bandits attacked ferociously, working from inside out.
The Xiao Mountain Pass had been peaceful for too long. Adding to the fact that Qin Tienxiong had been recently stationed near the Xiao Mountain Pass, it was inevitable that the soldiers in the pass would be a bit negligent.
In the room of the guard of the pass, two charming, golden-haired women were moving their snow-white waists as they approached the guard and gave him a coquettish look.
The generals were men as well, and they needed women to guard the pass of Xiao Shan for a long time. They had to summon women every once in a while for their warriors to release.
The person in front of him was a beauty from a faraway country, causing him to be intoxicated with pleasure.
He grabbed the two of them by their waists and shamelessly put his big hands into the chests of the two women.
A faint sound suddenly came from outside as the guard frowned slightly. Who was it that had disturbed his good fortune at such a time?
Just as he opened his mouth to ask, he felt an ice-cold pleasure from being pierced through the ribs. His neck was also ice-cold. Dark red blood gushed out from the neck and ribs like a spring.
The guard made a strange sound in the air as his eyes widened. His eyes lost all of its luster as he fell to the ground in astonishment.
The two women had cold expressions on their faces. They took out their short blades and wiped the bloodstains on the clothes of the guards before turning around and leaving the room.
With the death of the gatekeeper, the mountain was without a leader, and the mountain pass was even more chaotic.
"How could that be?"
The soldiers in the pass had never thought that these bandits and bandits would actually dare to attack the mountain pass, and they even had a few ballistas.
A tall, muscular man sat atop a black stallion. He wore a golden robe, and a golden mask covered his face.
A pair of golden eyes caught the attention of others in the dark night. Their eyes and body were filled with a wild and unruly aura.
He quietly sat on the horse and looked at the Xiao Shan Pass that was about to be breached. A smile appeared in his bright eyes.
"Sandstorm, sandstorm …"
As the Sandstorm Horses drew closer, the surrounding area exploded in excited shouts. The bandits' fighting spirit was high as they charged forward.
"Sandstorm, your man is very brave. You are the first meritorious for seizing Xiao Shan Pass."
"Without the King's crossbow and the army of the General, these brothers of mine wouldn't have the ability to take Xiao Shan Pass."
Surprisingly, the arrogant sandstorm didn't show any arrogance or complacency because of the words of the person next to it. Instead, the color in its eyes deepened as it looked towards the direction of the Great Moon Branch.
"The mountain pass has been broken through!"
The high-ranking officer beside the sandstorm had excitement in his voice as he urged his horse to charge forward.
Soon after, the sandstorm led its men in a fierce attack. After entering the pass, there was not much suspense. Many soldiers had been poisoned by the poisonous smoke and had lost their ability to resist.
At this moment, the poisonous smoke had already been extinguished, and the bandits' faces were covered with wet cloths, not fearing the poisonous smoke at all.
Some of the soldiers had escaped from the pass, disappearing into the darkness and the mountain roads. The terrain here was complicated, so it was extremely difficult to search for the fish that had escaped the net in the dark.
"Don't care about those who run away. Take down the entire pass as soon as possible. Those who surrender must not die. Those who resist will be killed without mercy!"
Following the shouts of the sandstorm, the bandits who had merged with the elite members of the Da Yue branch started to move. They drove out the well-off soldiers in the mountain pass, repaired the damaged mountain pass, and received the defense of the Xiao Shan Pass.
A few generals urged their horses on in different directions as one order after another was sent out in an orderly fashion.
The sand storm's underlings did not have the messy appearance of the majority of bandits, but they were well-trained and were very busy.
The sandstorm looked at its subordinates with satisfaction. It had trained its subordinates in the same way as it had trained the army. It had ordered its subordinates to be banned, and over the years, it had produced a lot of results. The previous time when Xiao Shan ambushed the marriage alliance team, he could see the benefits of such a method. Amongst the many bandits and bandits, only his subordinates didn't suffer much. Their success meant failure.
Once again, he looked towards the direction of the Great Wings City. All of this was backed by that man.
There were quite a few of Xiao Shan's soldiers who fled. The sandstorm did not pursue them, but wanted to quickly take control of the entire Xiao Shan Pass.
In the darkness, wrapped in a black robe, Zhong Ao Shuang was lying on the ground, staring at the stars in the sky.
The stars outside the barrier were extremely numerous and resplendent. The sky was filled with stars that shone like endless diamonds. The black sky was like a curtain. Countless sparkling and translucent diamonds were embedded into the endless curtain. It was so peaceful and beautiful that it moved one's heart.
Only the sounds of fighting in the distance broke the tranquility and beauty. He slightly frowned and turned his head to look into the darkness.
"Reporting to the duke, someone has been defeated and retreated."
"Kill!"
Zhong Ao Shuang waved her hand, sighed and said: "Those who lay down their weapons will not die, and they will surrender."
"Yes."
Zhong Ao Shuang was still lying on the ground, looking up at the beautiful night sky. This night was destined to be cruel.
The fleeing soldiers of Xiao Shan quickly faced the second wave of slaughter. In the empty field, a bonfire was lit, reflecting their whereabouts.
"Those who lay down their weapons are to be spared. Those who resist are to be killed!"
Few people were willing to give up their weapons and surrender. Facing the grudges of generations in the Western Regions, the soldiers of the Great Kang chose to die to ignite their glory with their final lives.
Zhong Ao Shuang sighed. He could not appear, nor could he stop this. He could only silently lie on the ground and stare at the stars in the sky, unable to look at this scene.
Miserable cries and shouts of battle could be heard incessantly. He could not do anything as he had long understood that the soldiers of the Great Kang would not surrender so easily. To surrender to the Huns of the Western Regions, their heroic name would forever be branded with the imprint of shame. To surrender to the Huns, their families would then bear the burden of treason.
In the darkness, there were the soldiers of Xiao Shan rushing out of the encirclement. Although there were few people, they still saw hope.
"There is no hope. What awaits you is only a dead end, a dead end. Zhong Ao Shuang, is what you're doing really correct? "
He sat up from the ground and looked back at the brave warriors who had escaped. In the darkness, there were soldiers and arrows waiting to reap their lives.
