Wolf Yuan nodded and gave Chen Lin an affirmative answer: "General Fei Na took the initiative to ask Ying to lead the women's battalion to stay behind." ”

When Tetur heard him say this, he shouted angrily, "Damn! It's too uninteresting for you to let these wounded soldiers and female battalions who have lost their combat effectiveness stay and hold on? ”

Unspeakable guilt flashed on Wolf Yuan's heroic face, he didn't insist on staying, but Hetier's military order didn't give him any chance to choose, as an excellent general, he must first obey the command of his superiors, not to mention that Marshal Hetier was his mentor.

Tetur wanted to continue to accuse Wolf Yuan, but was stopped by Chen Lin, at this time, Chen Lin showed unusual calmness: "Wolf Yuan, I decided to stay!" ”

"Why?" Tetur and Wolf Yuan asked at the same time, this time it was not only Wolf Yuan, but even Teytur couldn't understand Chen Lin's decision.

A hint of indifferent smile appeared on Chen Lin's resolute face: "I don't know!" But I guess I should stay! He didn't continue to explain to Tetur and Wolf Yuan, and turned and walked off into the distance.

Tetur touched the back of his head in amazement and muttered, "Is it worth it for a woman?" ”

Hearing Chen Lin's footsteps, Fei Na Huo Ran turned her head, although the expression on her face was calm, the smile in her beautiful eyes still couldn't hide the relief in her heart: "Why don't you withdraw with General Wolf?" ”

Chen Lin smiled and didn't speak, his eyes were focused on Fina's pretty face.

Fei Naqiao's face was slightly red, and her voice was unconscious: "Why do you want to stay?" ”

Chen Lin took an aggressive step forward, instantly narrowing the distance between him and Fina, which made Fina's heart beat faster: "You really want to ask me why I stayed?" ”

Fina, who secretly scolded herself for being useless, actually showed panic in front of this helpless guy, and she mustered up the courage to nod.

Chen Lin whispered in her ear: "For you!" ”

Fei Na lowered her head under Chen Lin's fiery gaze, in fact, she had already guessed Chen Lin's answer, but how sweet this sentence was to her when it came out of Chen Lin's mouth.

Chen Lin couldn't wait to take her into his arms when he saw Fina's appearance, but in front of the imperial soldiers above and below the city wall, he had to have some scruples after all, it was undeniable that he had a strong affection for Fina, but it was too far-fetched to attribute the reason for his stay to Fina.

The reason why he stayed in Huju Pass, there is another important reason to avoid the commander of Hei Tieer, the more you know, the more dangerous it is, Chen Lin is well versed in this truth, Chen Lin saw the death of Emperor Xuan Sizhe with his own eyes, and the most taboo thing about Hei Tieer is that this matter is leaked out, once it is really unfortunate to leak out, the person who Hei Tieer is the first to suspect must be himself, and if he leaves the protection of Fei Na, maybe Hei Tieer will kill people and destroy his mouth, so it is safer to stay in Huju Pass.

When the first trace of blue and gray appeared in the dawn sky, the attack of the army of the Lander Empire began in full swing.

Amid the beating of drums that shook the heavens and the earth, the Lande soldiers activated more than 100 huge trebuchets and threw the burning boulders at the solid walls of Huju Pass.

Due to the distance, few boulders have successfully hit their targets. The few boulders that were thrown at the city wall had exhausted their strength, and they only smashed a small hole in the solid wall.

Under the cover of the Giant Shield Battalion, the Lander Bow Battalion began to slowly advance towards the Tiger Pass.

Fina's heart had already calmed down from the turmoil just now, and her beautiful ice-blue eyes calmly observed the movements of the enemy army.

The Archery Battalion stopped marching before coming within range of its own side.

Fina commanded: "Don't act rashly until the enemy is in range, cherish every arrow in our hands!" ”

Tetur, who was standing beside Chen Lin, suddenly moved quickly: "Did you hear that?" ”

Chen Lin looked at him curiously, but he didn't hear anything unusual.

Rong Xiaoqing pouted disdainfully and said, "So it's mysterious!" ”

Tetur's gaze was cast to the eastern sky, the morning sun slowly rose above the horizon, the dazzling brilliance made people dare not force the gaze, and there was a metallic reflection in the distant sky.

Chen Lin also noticed this unusual situation, it should be a neatly arranged metal dot, the closer the target flies, the clearer it becomes in the field of vision of Chen Lin and the others, Chen Lin was surprised to see that it was a group of warriors operating alloy parachutes.

Tetoole scolded loudly: "Grandma, a bear, actually stole our flying wings!" He thought that only they thieves had mastered the technique of flying with paragliding wings, but he didn't expect that the Lander Empire had already assembled such a large flying team.

"Aim for the sky and shoot!" The two armies had been fighting fiercely on the frontier for a long time, but it was the first time that Fina had seen the Landers have flying troops, and it was her surprise that she was not under Tetur.

Feathered arrows shot into the air like flying locusts, and countless feathered arrows accurately hit their targets, but to their disappointment, the Rander Flying Samurai was wearing tough alloy armor and a hard crystal mask on his face, and his whole body was shrouded in strict protection, and ordinary feathered arrows could not shoot through it at all.

Chen Lin roughly estimated that the total number of this group of flying warriors was at least about five hundred, and in this relatively primitive continent, the power of five hundred pilots was really impossible to underestimate.

Seeing that the ordinary feathered arrows could not do any harm to these flying warriors, Fina immediately ordered the use of small trebuchets to wait, and at one time twenty small trebuchets threw stones into the air at different locations on the city wall.

Although the trebuchet was much more powerful, the accuracy and range of the trebuchet were not ideal, and most of the stones thrown missed, and only a few successfully hit the Rander Flying Samurai.

The flaming cobblestone smashed into the body of a flying samurai, instantly shattering the metal parachute, and the samurai swooped down from the air, slamming his body into the wall, and then falling vertically to the hard ground, blood gushing through the cracks in his armor, apparently unable to survive.

The Rander Empire's archery battalion quickly advanced to effective range while the flying samurai attracted the opponent's long-range attack weapons.

They were in a group of two soldiers, one of them lay down on the ground and pulled out the giant iron-tired bow with his feet and arms, and the other companion was responsible for attaching large arrows to the bowstring, and with the commander's roar, ten thousand arrows were fired in unison over the Tiger Pass, and the arrows flew to the highest point, and then accelerated downward.

The cry and the cry suddenly sounded in the Tiger Pass.

Most of the soldiers who remained in the Tiger Pass were weak and unable to move, and only a few of them successfully moved to the hidden area, and under the intensive fire of the opponent's air and ground, they were powerless to resist at all, and suffered heavy casualties.

Fina did not panic when her side was completely at a disadvantage, and ordered loudly: "Everyone hold their positions, and must not let the Landers break through the city gate smoothly!" ”

The dense rain of arrows in the Rander Archery Battalion finally passed, and Fina began to organize her men to counterattack.

Under the cover of the rain of arrows on their side, dozens of people have successfully swept over the city wall and began to throw black balls into the city, which must have contained explosives or something, and after landing on the ground, it emitted an earth-shattering explosion, and the soldiers of the Xuanwu Kingdom who fled were torn apart by the powerful explosion force, and the flesh and split limbs flew into the air.

"Armor-piercing arrows!" Fina commanded in an orderly manner.

His archers aimed at the flying warriors of the Lander Flying Warrior in the air and shot black armor-piercing arrows, the armor-piercing arrows were originally used to deal with the siege of the Lander Empire, but now they had to be used in advance, the tips of the armor-piercing arrows were made of Ugin, which was extremely precious, and the number was only about a hundred, so it was necessary to use it carefully, so that each arrow must hit the target.

The armor-piercing arrow struck lightning through the lower abdomen of a flying samurai, who screamed and swooped down towards the walls with the black ball he couldn't throw.

Before he could get closer, the trebuchet ejected a boulder and catapulted him and his men back into the Randers' camp. His whole body had been smashed into a blur of flesh and blood by the boulder, and when he landed in his own camp, he had become a corpse, and the black ball only exploded after it landed, exploding the surrounding Rand soldiers who had not been able to flee into a cry and wail.

Fina's counterattack was powerless to stop the Randers' attack, and the vanguard of the Randers' 50,000 men advanced forward in an orderly manner.

Chen Lin was not good at shooting, and spent most of his time hiding behind the city walls, helping to treat some wounded soldiers.

Suddenly hearing a coquettish cry from Fina, Chen Lin looked up, but saw a feather arrow grazing against Fina's shoulder, he rushed to Fina's side as soon as possible, held Fina's arm and said with concern: "What's the matter?" Are there any injuries? ”

Fei Na shook her head, motioned for Chen Lin to return to a safe place to hide, and ordered Rong Xiaoqing to let all the archers change to rockets. There was a heroic and fearless gaze in the blue eyes: "Aim for the burning line!" Shoot! ”

Chen Lin and Tetur looked down curiously, thousands of rockets shot down at the same time, they should have received countless training like this before, the target of the rockets was not the army of the Lander Empire, but the ground in front of the Tiger Pass, the rockets were shot deep into the ground, all concentrated about three hundred meters in front of the city, and the small piece of land burned from a distance.

Tetur wondered, "Could it be that there is some mechanism hidden in that ground?" ”

Before the words fell, the trebuchets on the city wall were all aimed at the position of the rocket landing point and projected the burning boulder over, the fire suddenly increased a lot, suddenly, with the burning land as the center, a dazzling and dazzling bright light suddenly rose, and then a huge explosion was heard, and the ground under his feet shook violently, and Chen Lin, who was not fully prepared, stumbled under his feet and sat on the city wall.

When I looked at it again, the land in front of the city wall was completely immersed in a sea of fire, and the vanguard of the Landers walking in the forefront did not expect that there would suddenly explode and burn under their feet, and they were immediately trapped in the sea of fire.

Chen Lin and Tetur clapped their hands at the same time, it turned out that there was a trench hidden under the land in front of the Tiger Pass, and the trench was filled with black oil, and only when the enemy's vanguard entered the range of it, did Fina order to ignite the underground mechanism.

The explosions caused by the burning came and went, and the land in front of the tiger pass, which was five hundred meters long and wide, completely burned, and the Lande soldiers who entered it were like falling into a hell made of fire, and fled around with a wail, the fire made them unable to see the surrounding situation clearly, one by one like headless flies, and the smell of burnt meat filled the air.

The expression on Fei Naqiao's face did not relax in the slightest, this burning line is the most lethal line of defense in Tiger Pass, and it is also the last line of defense in Tiger Pass.

After all, the army of the Landers was well-trained, and they quickly calmed down from their panic. They began to use the dirt and yellow sand beneath their feet to extinguish the flames in front of them, and the area of the burn quickly began to shrink.

"What's that?" Rong Xiaoqing pointed to the camp of the Lander people, and everyone followed her direction, but saw two huge alloy mechanical monsters slowly walking in the direction of the Tiger Pass under the control of the Lander soldiers. They are all about three stories high, and from a distance they look like two giant spiders, with eight nimble mechanical arms stretching out in all directions.

Chen Lin rubbed his eyes, convinced that the alloy monster did not belong to any kind of creature, it was a machine, a real machine, and the technology mastered by the Lande people was so advanced that it surpassed the Xuanwu Empire by several times. Chen Lin couldn't figure out what kind of power such a huge mechanical monster was used to drive it?

At the sound of Fina's order, all the archers aimed at the two mechanical monsters and began to shoot, the stormy feathered arrows did not stop the mechanical monsters at all, they moved faster and faster, and their long metal arms stepped through the fire, and they were getting closer and closer to the city wall.

The catapult aimed the few remaining cobblestones at the mechanical monsters, and the boulders smashed into the mechanical monsters' bodies accurately, slamming countless sparks into them, but failing to damage them in the slightest.

Tetur sighed from the bottom of his heart: "It's amazing, where did the Landers find these monsters?" ”

The Randers approached the walls under the cover of two giant mechanical monsters.

Fina's expression darkened, only now had she seen the true strength of the Rand's army, and she was powerless in the face of the strange machinery of the other party.

Two giant mechanical monsters, supported by six metal arms, supported a huge and heavy body, and slammed into the city gate with two metal arms.

The heavy gates creaked uncomfortably under their continuous impact, and stones and dust fell above the gates, injuring several Xuanwu soldiers who were desperately defending the gates behind the gates.

The soldiers guarding the walls began to use rolling logs and rocks to smash at the mechanical monsters, and the two mechanical monsters did not care about these external attacks, shook their huge heads, and continued to launch another round of attacks on the city gates.

"Retreat!" Tetur suggested loudly, believing that his side was already in danger and that the breach of the gates would only be a matter of time.

Rong Xiaoqing glared at Tetur indignantly: "Coward! ”

Fina bit her lower lip lightly: "Retreat!" Tetur was right, there was no point in staying.

With a loud bang, the city gate was finally smashed open under the heavy impact of the two mechanical monsters, and the two heavy city gates fell backwards, pressing down many Xuanwu soldiers who had not been able to dodge underneath, and the enemy army poured in from the broken city gate like a tide.

Under the cover of his subordinates, Fei Na, Chen Lin and the others quickly retreated into the inner city, and the inner city walls were far inferior to the outer walls of the Tiger Pass in terms of height and strength, and they could not stop the two powerful mechanical monsters at all.

Rong Xiaoqing led the black unicorn that had been prepared long ago to Fei Na's side: "General, let's go quickly, before those two monsters attack the inner city, it will be too late." ”

Fina nodded silently, turned over and jumped onto the black snow, and Chen Lin and Tetur each rode a white unicorn to her side.

Fei Na said: "There is no enemy at the north gate, and it is also our only choice to escape from the Tiger Pass!" ”

Chen Lin smiled: "Don't worry, we will definitely be able to successfully get rid of the mechanical monsters of the Landers!" ”

With the general trend gone, Fina had to accept the reality in front of her, and led the only remaining 3,000 elite female battalion soldiers under her command, along with more than 2,000 imperial soldiers who had recovered a little to be able to walk, and abandoned the tiger pass and defeated through the north gate.

The most tragic end was for the soldiers who were unable to walk after being poisoned, and the Rand Empire carried out a ruthless slaughter of these enemy troops who had lost their ability to resist.

With tears in her eyes, Fei Nami stared at the smoke billowing from the Tiger Pass behind her, and until now she still couldn't believe that the strongest fortress in the Xuanwu Empire had become vulnerable under the attack of the Landers. Marshal Hetier naturally had his reason for retreating, the emperor was dead, and in order to preserve the maximum strength of the army as much as possible, he had to do so, but Fina still couldn't figure it out, let alone ruthlessly give up these brothers who accompanied her from birth to death, two lines of crystal tears slowly slid down her white cheeks, and under the reflection of the setting sun, she reflected a miserable light.

Chen Lin looked at Fei Na silently, and he saw that Fei Na's strong and fearless delicate body was hidden deep in a kind heart.

Rong Xiaoqing and Teytool's exclamations sounded almost at the same time: "Those two big monsters are still chasing us!" ”

Chen Lin turned around and looked, and sure enough, he saw the two huge mechanical monsters, surrounded by nearly 10,000 soldiers of the Lander Empire, speeding towards them. This kind of indestructible heavy mechanical weapon, even in modern society, can be regarded as a powerful super heavy weapon, and it can be inferred from this alone that the level of technological and practical development mastered by the Lander Empire may be several times higher than that of the Xuanwu Empire.

There is a river that flows from west to east three kilometers north of Huju Pass, called the Turbuler River, which is one of the largest tributaries of the Igulaba River, although the river surface is narrow, but the drop is very large, and the water flow is turbulent. There is only one steel bridge with a span of about thirty meters and a width of about five meters on the river.

Fina decisively ordered: "Pass the order, quickly cross the bridge, and dismantle the bridge before the enemy arrives." ”

Although the situation was imminent, the well-trained soldiers of the Xuanwu Empire still did not see any panic, and under the command of Fina, they passed the bridge in an orderly manner.

Fina, who led by example, fell at the end of the group, insisting on being the last to walk across the bridge, and Rong Xiaoqing had already begun to direct his men to begin dismantling the piers at the north end of the bridge.

This bridge was a key part of the strategy of the Xuanwu Empire's army, and Hatel and others had considered the worst-case scenario more than once, dismantling the bridge, using the Turbulent River as the last barrier, and had soldiers do special demolition training for the structure of the bridge.

In a short period of time, the soldiers had already dismantled most of the piers, and with a bag of cigarettes, the bridge could be completely demolished.

At this time, the vanguard of the Lander Empire had come to a place less than three hundred meters away from the Turbulent River, and the two steel monsters bore the brunt, spreading out eight long mechanical arms, waving back and forth, with an extremely fast frequency, and in the blink of an eye, they had rushed to the southern end of the bridge. The samurai who manipulated the steel monster activated the mechanism, and three thick iron cylinders poked out from each of the steel monster's head, and spewed hot flames from them, shooting into the air like six fire dragons, and then arcing across the Turbulent River and landing on the opposite side of the riverbank.

The Xuanwu soldiers who were dismantling the bridge did not have time to escape before they were buried in the powerful flames, and there was a miserable cry in the sea of fire, Fina waved her arms and motioned to shoot, and for a moment countless arrows shot towards the two steel monsters like flying locusts, but this ordinary feathered arrow could not penetrate their incomparably hard alloy armor.

A steel monster has stepped onto the bridge on one foot, and its super weight overwhelms most of the demolished bridges, making a crushing creak.

Chen Lin and Fei Na glanced at each other, each showing a hint of relief, as long as the steel monster took one more step, its weight would crush the bridge, but they soon found that the situation was not as good as they imagined.

The steel monster was supported by a single foot in the center of the bridge, and its entire huge body actually made an incredible leap in the air, and the sudden increase in pressure made the already fragile bridge no longer able to withstand it, and the pier at the north end completely broke and fell into the river with a loud bang.

But the steel monster already had four long feet landed on the north bank, and the rest of the four legs grabbed the broken end of the bridge before it completely fell into the river, and reunited the newly broken bridge with their own bodies.

Another steel monster had quickly passed over the bridge, and under its cover, the soldiers of the Rander Empire swarmed across the bridge and crossed the Turbulent River to continue the pursuit of Fina's forces.
