At the border.
The Tiger Legion and the Black Serpent Legion were forced into a series of defeats.
After all, they only had 50,000 warriors.
Even if Dongfang Sheng brought more than 10,000 Blood Mist Sect experts, the total would only be around 60,000.
However, the opposing side had a million-strong army of warriors, after all, it was a combined force of thirty nations, and they had mobilized their entire strength.
The disparity in numbers is too great, giving the enemy an overwhelming advantage.
What's more, the enemy had over a hundred bombers flying overhead, constantly dropping bombs.
On the ground, tanks and artillery bombarded the area in turn, causing heavy casualties among the warriors of the Great Xia Dynasty.
Left with no other choice, Zhang Dabiao, Black Snake, and Dongfang Sheng fought and retreated.
If this fighting continues, they'll be wiped out sooner or later.
Horton was injured by the mysterious golden light, and was both shocked and angry, covering half of his bloodied face.
He ordered his soldiers to launch a frenzied attack, his voice hoarse, almost a roar.
"kill!"
"Kill them!"
“Slaughter all of these ants from Great Xia.”
A million-strong army of martial artists launched attacks from multiple directions, relentlessly pursuing the martial artists of the Great Xia Dynasty, like a pack of untamed wild beasts howling with excitement.
Zhang Dabiao was furious and couldn't bear to watch his men die tragically. He spoke to Black Snake and Dongfang Sheng.
"I'll cover the rear. You two lead the men and retreat into the city."
After saying that, he roared, and a phantom image of a striped tiger appeared behind him, roaring to the sky, its tiger-like might shaking heaven and earth.
It's as tall as a ten-story building, like a small mountain.
This is a supernatural power that Zhang Dabiao has cultivated, called the Fierce Tiger Fighting the Sky Technique!
roar--
The tiger leaped into the air, extended its huge claws, and smashed several low-flying bombers as easily as swatting flies.
Large fireballs exploded in mid-air.
After landing, it crushed several enemy tanks and armored vehicles into iron discs.
It charged into the enemy camp with all four hooves, trampling large numbers of enemy warriors into mincemeat, and biting countless others to death.
Unstoppable and invincible, instantly possessing the combat power of a peak Martial King.
However, this secret technique has a limited duration, lasting less than three minutes.
Then it will fall into a period of decline.
Zhang Dabiao was risking his life to buy Black Snake and his men time to retreat.
"Brother Biao, take care!"
Black Snake's eyes reddened, but he knew that now was not the time for idle chatter.
Without hesitation, Dongfang Sheng and the other two led the remaining warriors back into the city and closed the city gates.
Three minutes passed quickly.
Zhang Dabiao gradually lost his strength and swayed precariously, the phantom image of the tiger behind him dissipating.
But he still stood before the city gate, holding a blood-dripping cleaver.
He used his own life to protect the city behind him, speaking each word slowly and deliberately.
"Any foreign barbarian who disturbs our borders shall be executed!"
His voice was strong and resolute, displaying unwavering resolve.
kill!
Zhang Dabiao used his last bit of strength to chop down several more people, his battle robe stained with blood.
Although it was on the verge of death, it still stood tall, like a monument, guarding the city behind it.
National dignity is inviolable.
We will fight for every inch of land, and our might will terrify the enemy!
Many enemy warriors around were eager to try, but dared not step forward.
On the city wall, many people who witnessed this scene had tears in their eyes.
Some people tried to open the city gates, rush out, and rescue Zhang Dabiao.
But if they did that, the enemy would take advantage of the situation and break through the city gates. Once the city gates were breached, the more than 400,000 people inside the city would suffer terribly.
In that case, Zhang Dabiao's sacrifice would be completely meaningless.
Many warriors on the city wall had red eyes and roared.
"Commander!"
"Brother Biao!"
"Are we just going to stand by and watch our commander-in-chief die in battle?!"
Arrows rained down from the tall walls, attempting to repel the enemy's army of warriors.
puff!
An enemy warrior pierced Zhang Dabiao's knee with his spear.
puff!
Another enemy warrior behind him slashed at Zhang Dabiao's back with his knife.
In no time, Zhang Dabiao was covered in blood, and his wounds were shocking.
At this moment, Zhang Dabiao was so weak that he couldn't even lift his knife.
But he remained standing, his body as upright as a pine tree, his blood-stained battle robe fluttering in the wind.
That was a blood-stained splendor.
On the city wall, the people who witnessed this scene all burst into tears.
It was clear that Zhang Dabiao was about to sacrifice his life for his country.
Just then, an old soldier in tattered battle clothes slowly walked over, carrying a broom and sweeping the ground as he went.
It was none other than Old Hunchback!
Just like when he sweeps the streets, he is hunched over, head down, with a broken pot on his back, and a withered mouth, speaking in a hoarse voice.
"You must be tired from fighting. Let this old man give you a good summer breeze to cool you down."
He looked so unsteady, he could barely walk, as if he might be blown away by the wind at any moment.
Everyone was taken aback, their jaws dropping in astonishment.
What time is it now?
With the enemy at the gates and Mount Tai about to collapse, this old fellow is still sweeping the floor.
Why is there still a strong summer wind blowing?
This scene looks very incongruous.
The numerous enemy warriors who rushed in were also slightly taken aback, completely baffled.
What the hell is going on?!
Their lives are in danger, the city is about to be breached, and they still have the mind to sweep the floor here.
"Screw your summer winds, where did this old idiot come from? He's got a death wish."
"When did this old coffin-headed fellow start showing off? Let's chop him up first."
