Looking at the majestic big city in front of him, Hailong spread out the map and said, "This is Rongyang City. From here and seven or eight cities further northeast, you can reach the border between Yuan, Meng and Zhao and Song. I don't know what the battle situation ahead is like now."

These days, they have been traveling on deserted roads just for the sake of purity, so they don't know much about the war.

Tian Qin smiled and said, "What? It looks like you really want to help Zhao Songguo fight the enemy! Don't forget who you are now. Once your involvement in the mortal world is known by other righteous sects, I'm afraid it will be against Lianyun Sect.

It’s a bad reputation.”

Hai Long snorted coldly and said, "Who cares about them? Let them think what they want. I only do what I want to do. What about the right path? There is nothing good either. Let them come if they want to."

Tian Qin said, "Long, no matter what you decide, I will let you. In fact, I like your stubborn temper very much. But don't be careless and try not to do anything when necessary. You understand what I mean."

Hai Long smiled and said, "Don't worry, your husband, I am the smartest person in the world."

Tian Qin spat softly and said, "Whose husband are you? I haven't agreed to marry you yet."

Hai Long chuckled and said, "It will be a matter of time anyway. It doesn't matter if you scream first, dear Tian Qin, let me hug you." Queen Tian Qin's delicate body turned lightly to avoid Hai Long's sneak attack. She chuckled and went to Rongyang City first.

Hai Long ran away and followed closely. Neither of them used any Taoist skills and chased in front of Rongyang City like ordinary people. Rongyang City is one of the important towns of Zhao and Song Dynasty. The city wall is about 20 meters high. There are high mountains and military strategists on both sides.

The dangerous place that must be contested is easy to defend and difficult to attack. It can be the most important defensive place and the last solid barrier on the Zhao Song border. The giant artillery that Hai Long is familiar with does not appear in this big city. He thought that the artillery should be in this city.

the other side.

The guards at the city gate were extremely tight. When Hai Long and Tian Qin arrived, they were immediately stopped by soldiers. Each of these soldiers had a resolute face, wore light blue armor, and wore dark blue cloaks on their backs. On their chests, there was a dragon with teeth and claws carved on it.

It is an elite army that has experienced many years of fighting.

Hai Long took a step forward and said with a smile, "Hello, military lords. We are passing by Rongyang City and want to go in and have a rest. Please make it convenient for you."

The leader of the soldiers put his hand on the long sword on his waist and said in a deep voice, "The fighting is tense in the front. Rongyang City is currently used to garrison troops. No casualties are allowed to enter."

Hai Long was stunned and said, "But we just want to go ahead and have a look! How can we do it without passing by here." He took out a silver coin from his arms and handed it over and said, "Master Jun, please do it for your convenience."

The leader of the soldiers snorted coldly and slapped away the silver coins handed over by Hai Long. He said in a deep voice, "What is the crime for bribing a sergeant? I think you must be spies from the Yuan Meng Kingdom who want to plot something evil. Come here, arrest them and put them in jail to wait for punishment."

Hai Long was shocked and secretly thought that these soldiers guarding the gate were of good quality! He quickly pulled Tian Qin back a few steps and said, "Don't make a move yet to make your words clear. Why do you think we are spies?"

The leader of the soldiers looked at Hai Long coldly and said, "You are behaving strangely and the war is about to spread to Rongyang City. Now I will give you two choices. One is to retreat quickly and the other is to be imprisoned. Rongyang City is related to our Zhao Song Kingdom."

Our safety must not be compromised in the slightest.”

Hai Long frowned and said, "There should be seven or eight big cities ahead. Are they all lost? Are those artillery just for food?"

The soldier leader suddenly became nervous when he heard Hai Long mentioning the artillery. He raised his hands and dozens of blue-armored soldiers who were responsible for guarding the city gate quickly surrounded Hai Long and Tian Qin. With a brush, their long swords were drawn out neatly, surrounding Hai Long and the two.

The leader of the soldiers said, "Now I have chosen for you to arrest him and send him to the military headquarters for interrogation." The soldiers did not make a sound of agreement. Ten of them were the first to rush towards Hai Long and Tian Qin. Although the long swords were all pointing free, they were blocked.

All their retreats.

The humility on Hai Long's face disappeared and he said, "Yes, only soldiers like you can be considered elite. Whoever is responsible for guarding this city now should ask him to come see me."

The leader of the soldiers was shocked. The momentum that Hai Long exuded instantly shocked him and the other soldiers. He was as majestic as a mountain and seemed unshakable. The leader of the soldiers took a deep breath to calm down the uneasiness in his heart and said in a deep voice, "Who are you, Your Excellency?"

?What is the purpose of coming to Rongyang City?"

Hai Long smiled slightly and said, "I am from the Worship Hall. I am here to supervise the battle."

Upon hearing the words "sacrifice hall", the soldiers immediately showed respectful eyes, but the leader of the soldiers did not let Hai Long go immediately and stretched out his right hand and said, "Please show me your token."

Hai Long knew that if he didn't reveal his identity, the soldiers might not let him in. He shook his head helplessly and said with a smile, "My token is my name. My name is Hai Long."

The leader of the soldiers looked horrified and took a few steps back. He looked at Hai Long in confusion and said in a trembling voice, "You are one word, Your Highness, this..."

Hai Long lazily continued to pester and cursed with a smile, "What is this? Is there anyone else who can pretend to be me? I heard that Yuanmeng Kingdom has launched an invasion war against our country and I came here to have a look. Who is the person responsible for guarding here?"

As Hai Long stretched out his right palm, a purple dragon's aura floated out in the air, circled around his body and then returned to his right palm. The extremely powerful aura frightened all the soldiers back five steps at the same time. Looking at

Hai Long, the leader of the soldiers who was still hesitant, said, "With my level of cultivation, if I want to force my way in, can you guys stop me?" The leader of the soldiers was shaken all over. Suddenly, he and all the soldiers fell to their knees on the ground and said excitedly.

"See His Majesty the Marshal."

Hai Long scratched his head and said, "When did I become a marshal again? Get up and answer."

The leader of the soldiers stood up and said respectfully, "I would like to inform your highness that we are the elite first regiment of the Zhao Song Kingdom formed under your personal supervision. You are Hailong. You are our regiment commander and the first marshal of the Zhao Song Kingdom."

Hai Long glanced at Tian Qin and couldn't help but said with a smile, "Zhao Ji did it again. What's the use of giving me the title of marshal? I won't always stay in Zhao Song Kingdom."

The soldier leader's eyes flashed with admiration and he said respectfully, "This is the position your Majesty specially left for you out of respect for you. Our Hailong Legion is the most elite legion in the Zhao Song Kingdom, with a total of 100,000 people. Now we are all stationed in Rong.

Yangcheng is led by the deputy army commander, General Zhao Feng."

Hai Long was stunned and said, "Isn't General Zhao Feng guarding the southern border? Why did he come here?"

The leader of the soldiers said, "This is a military secret and cannot be known. The Hailong Corps was established more than three years ago and has been commanded by General Zhao Feng since its establishment. We are all drawn from various legions across the country.

What came out and went through unified training is the only legion in the country where all soldiers have armor. Our purpose this time is to completely block the invasion of Yuanmeng Kingdom in Rongyang City."

Hai Long nodded and said, "Then you take me to see Zhao Feng." Inexplicably, he became the first marshal of Zhao Song Kingdom and also had an elite army named after himself. Hai Long couldn't help but feel a little vanity in his heart, as if he had already

He looks like a marshal in charge of war.

Under the leadership of the soldier leader, Hai Long and Tian Qin entered Rongyang City. Indeed, as the soldier leader said, there were almost no civilians in Rongyang City and there were soldiers everywhere. Some of them were Hai Long who was wearing light blue armor.

The leader of the legion and soldiers explained that there are now a total of 200,000 troops in Rongyang City. Except for the Hailong Legion, the other 100,000 troops are responsible for supply and transportation and fully serve the Hailong Legion. This shows that Zhao Song State attaches great importance to this elite legion.

The military headquarters was located in the original city lord's palace in Rongyang City. Hai Long and Tian Qin were waiting outside the door. The soldier leader hurriedly ran in to report. Queen Era Tian Qin smiled and said, "Long, it seems that you are really good in Zhao Song Kingdom."

What a status! It’s even more powerful than I imagined.”

Hai Long puffed up his chest and said proudly, "Of course. Although I rarely stay in Zhao Song Kingdom, I should be a well-known big shot due to my original fame."

Tian Qin lightly hit him on the shoulder and said, "Don't be so proud. The Yuan Meng Kingdom is almost here. I'm afraid if you don't take action, the Zhao Song Kingdom will disappear."

Hai Long was just thinking about something when he saw Zhao Feng, who was wearing a military uniform and was escorted by a group of soldiers, striding out. He saw Hai Long quickly took a few steps forward and knelt on the ground with a plop and said in surprise, "See Your Highness."

"

Hai Long lifted him up from the ground with a wave of his hand and said with a smile, "How about not seeing General Zhao for a few years?"

Zhao Feng smiled and said, "Okay, very good. Your Highness, please come inside." Under the surprised gaze of many guards, he personally led Hai Long to the lobby of the military headquarters. At this time, there were dozens of soldiers of different ranks standing in the lobby.

They all wear blue armor, but the patterns on their chests are different. For example, the dragon on Zhao Feng's chest is golden with four claws, while the others are mostly silver, red, etc.

Zhao Feng led Hai Long to the main seat and said loudly, "Dear colleagues, I have an important and happy event to announce. His Royal Highness has arrived to help us."

These people present are all famous generals of Zhao Song Kingdom who have experienced many killings. They just saw Zhao Feng hurriedly ran out after whispering a few words to a soldier. They didn’t know what happened. Now after hearing his words, they all looked at Hai Long in surprise.

Everyone showed surprise in their eyes.

Zhao Feng shouted, "What are you still doing? Why don't you hurry up and pay your respects to His Highness?"

Only then did the generals react and knelt on the ground to pay homage to Hai Long as a salute to the emperor.

Hai Long smiled slightly, held his hands lightly and said, "Generals, don't be polite. I'm just here to see how the war is going." Everyone felt that a peaceful air was supporting their bodies. When the air flow disappeared, he had already stood up straight.

. In surprise, his respect for Hai Long could not help but deepen.

Hai Long turned to Zhao Feng and asked, "What's the current situation on the front line, General Zhao? Where is the Yuan-Meng army?"

Zhao Feng's eyes flashed coldly and he said, "Your Highness, your original judgment was absolutely correct. Those barbarians from Yuan Meng Kingdom and Jing Jing have indeed been plotting these years. They attacked Li Tang Kingdom and our Zhao Song Kingdom in two groups this time. It was obviously premeditated."

.Extremely well-prepared. Due to being caught off guard and their despicable sneak attacks, several important towns with artillery on the outermost perimeter have been lost. In order to reduce losses, I ordered all troops to withdraw to the vicinity of Rongyang City and be on standby, and evacuated the people of the eight cities on the front line.

The rear has temporarily abandoned the eight defenseless cities and is preparing to fight to the death with the Yuan-Mongol army in Rongyang City."

Hai Long frowned and said, "General Zhao, your arrangement is indeed very good, but there is one thing I don't understand. With the power of artillery, even if the enemy sneak attacks, it won't be so easy to break through the city. Are the border guards so sparse?"

Zhao Feng sighed and said, "The border was heavily guarded and the enemy was discovered immediately. The artillery was fully fired. But Yuanmeng Kingdom brought us an extremely surprising method of siege. They actually used cavalry to attack the city and

All kinds of siege equipment are extremely sophisticated. They are all pulled by horses. Our artillery fired only three times. Although it caused some losses to them (in the Queen's era), they were still attacked. Once they were within the range of the power of the artillery, we could only

They fought hard, but the barbarians were really fierce. Although they were superior in numbers, the Chinese defenders retreated steadily. At the same time, their spies had already invaded the city. They set fire everywhere at the beginning of the war, making the people panic and worried about internal and external troubles.

Our army was defeated. After learning the news, His Majesty immediately ordered me to lead the Sea Dragon Legion to come to support. But at that time, the enemy was extremely powerful. It is said that one can go all out, then weaken, and the three will exhaust each other and I will be able to defeat them.

In order to avoid the opponent's sharp force, I chose Rongyang City as the place for the decisive battle. We must not take a step back. I am confident that we can completely defeat the elite of Yuanmeng Kingdom here."

Hai Long nodded and said, "I hope everything goes as you want. Zhao Feng's strength alone cannot play a decisive role on the battlefield, and it's best for people like me not to directly participate in the war. So I hope you can lead

The Sea Dragon Legion can defeat the opponent in a direct battle. Only in this way can Zhao Song State become truly powerful. It is not in vain that Zhao Ji named this legion after me."

2 Zhao Feng's eyes flashed and he said, "After several years of rigorous training and the real test of blood and fire, Your Highness's Sea Dragon Corps, I have absolute confidence. No need to trouble you to take action. But for the morale of our army, I hope that we will fight the enemy."

At this time, you can bring encouragement to our soldiers at the top of the city. I think if everyone knows that the hero they most admire is standing side by side with the king supervising the battle, they will be able to exert more powerful combat effectiveness. According to reports from our spies, the enemy has already conquered several other frontiers.

The city has been completely occupied. The supply line consisting of 300,000 cavalry and more than 100,000 soldiers will arrive outside Rongyang City at noon tomorrow at the latest. The habits of the Yuanmeng people will definitely attack them as soon as they arrive. At that time, as long as we can completely

The charge to crush them has been decided. Your Highness, can you stay here for one day? I hope you can see with your own eyes how your sea dragon army will fight against the enemy. I will have a surprise for you then."

Hai Long smiled and said, "It's no problem to stay for one day. You can now let everyone pass on the news of my arrival. And tell them that the ten bravest warriors in tomorrow's battle will receive my reward and be promoted to the position of vanguard."

Zhao Feng was stunned and said, "Even soldiers are no exception? The level difference between your highness's vanguard and ordinary soldiers is too big. You must know that you must at least be a general to be qualified for the position of vanguard."

Hai Long said calmly, "General Zhao, you can't be so rigid, right? You must know that the use of talents must be eclectic. If they are all restricted by rules, many talents will be buried. Just do what I say. I am sure that the selected ones

Ten people are fully qualified to serve as a pioneer. You must know that a pioneer only needs bravery."

Zhao Feng seemed to understand something. He gave Hai Long a standard military salute and then turned to look at his generals and said, "Everyone has heard what His Highness said. Tell your generals and soldiers at all levels who have made special contributions to tomorrow's stop.

There is a heavy reward. This is the first group action of our Hailong Legion. It is different from the previous bandit suppressions. If someone is responsible for something, please bring it forward." His voice was filled with the heat of blood and fire. Hailong had promised rewards before.

Under the stimulation, the generals suddenly agreed and left the tent one after another.

Zhao Feng sighed softly and said, "There will be a battle tomorrow. I don't know how many people will die in this battle."
