In August, Wu Wudao, the national master of Wu State, commanded an army of 100,000, and invaded Youshan Mansion, with great momentum all the way.
In less than ten days, two counties had already been lost, and the battle line was pushed to the vicinity of Youshan City. There was a strong intention to destroy the city in a battle. When the news came out, all the countries were shocked.
Cangshan City.
This city is built on the mountain. The terrain is dangerous and strangles the throat of Fucheng. Behind it is a flat river, which can reach Youshan Fucheng directly. It is a battleground for military strategists.
Fang Yuan strengthened the walls and cleared the country all the way, and gathered 20,000 troops, all of them stationed in the city to confront the 100,000 troops of the Wu Kingdom outside.
"Listen, our army of the Wu Kingdom is invincible, and our master is merciful. I will give you one night to wait. If you don't surrender, you will die without a burial place!"
Below, a rider stood out, his voice shook the surrounding areas, and he began to persuade him to surrender: "... Don't say that you were unprepared!"
"snort!"
Zhang Qingfeng was furious, took a bow, stretched it into a full moon, and let go of the bowstring.
Bah!
The bow shook like a thunderbolt, and amid the loud noise, the arrow fell like lightning, penetrated the knight's chest, and plunged straight into the ground. The feathers at the tail of the arrow trembled freely.
"good!"
The guards on the city wall couldn't help but cheer up and cheered loudly. They watched the army on the opposite side come out again to collect the corpses, and then remained silent.
The gap between the enemy and ourselves is so great that even Zhang Qingfeng himself has little chance of winning.
"Go to the military meeting first, then take a good rest and prepare for tomorrow's battle!"
Fang Yuan, wearing regular clothes, calmly watched the scene and waved his hand.
"As you command!"
…
The group of people descended the tower and came to the lobby. Xiang Zilong was the first to hold back: "Master of the Palace... The troops and horses on the opposite side are strong, and the military strength is five times that of mine. General Feilong is also personally commanding, and Wu Guoguo's national division and three spiritual warriors are sitting on the guard. What can I do?"
"Please don't worry, Commander-in-Chief!"
Yuxinlou walked out, looking a little dazed, and shook his head: "My master has been prepared for it!"
This immediately confused everyone, especially Xiang Zilong, who looked at Fang Yuan blankly.
"Tell the truth! The Wu State's army is powerful and far superior to ours. If we meet on the ground, we will definitely collapse at the first touch!"
Fang Yuan nodded and told the truth: "Therefore, I only need you to hold on for three days. After three days, the situation will change!"
"Three days?"
Xiang Zilong and Niu Dingtian looked at each other and shook their heads suspiciously.
…
That night, a black shadow flew out of Cangshan City and fell into the Wuguo military camp.
"Three days?"
Taoist Xuansheng took off the bamboo tube, released the dove, and ordered the Taoist boy next to him to read it. His expression moved and he looked around.
Even though his eyes were destroyed, everyone in the camp couldn't help but feel cold when they looked at him.
"There will be a turnaround within three days? Impossible!"
The one who spoke was the commander-in-chief, General Feilong.
He looks middle-aged, with slightly frosty temples, starry eyebrows and pointed eyes, with a touch of elegance. He must have been a famous and handsome man in his youth.
At this moment, he stared at the map and shook his head: "Unless his reinforcements can fly, I won't be able to think of anyone in three days!"
"Whether he is talking nonsense or he is confident, why should we follow the other person's footsteps!"
Wu Wudao smiled slightly: "Even though the Lord of Youshan Palace has gathered most of his strength in Cangshan City, if we attack fiercely tomorrow and take it down directly, it will be done!"
"Yes, the pinnacle of military skills is conspiracy, suppressed by majestic power!"
General Feilong also nodded: "No matter how many tricks and plans the enemy has, I will defeat them all with my own strength!"
"Since both of you have decided so, we will attack tomorrow!"
Taoist Xuansheng nodded: "Even if we can't break the city, at night, the old Taoist can order the people in the city to respond!"
Although he didn't say who was responsible, everyone else nodded.
After all, in their opinion, the new Lord of Youshan Palace at this time is really confused. No matter which one of his subordinates has a rebellious heart, it is very likely, and they can't help but feel that they are destined to return.
…
Time flew by and the next day arrived.
"The general has an order! Attack the city!"
One hundred thousand people formed a military formation, stretching as far as the eye could see.
As the general order came from the Chinese army, all the soldiers of the Wu Kingdom raised their arms and shouted: "Attack! Attack!! Attack!!!"
The horns were blown, and huge ladders, arrow towers, siege vehicles and other equipment were pushed to the front of the military formation. The archers and the first dead soldiers took their positions brazenly, with solemn faces and fiery eyes.
Looking at this scene, the guards on the city wall couldn't help but feel terrified.
Even the soldiers of Youshan Prefecture, who were skilled in martial arts, felt their limbs tremble at this moment. After all, killing people through martial arts competitions and fighting in the army were completely different things.
"Catapult! Send!"
In the Wuguo army formation, more than a dozen large carts moved away at once, accompanied by a captain's roar, and continuous throwing sounds were heard.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
Boulders weighing tens or hundreds of kilograms were thrown onto the city wall, breaking open large holes and making a loud noise.
The city walls were shaking constantly, and cracks even appeared in some places.
After several rounds passed, the catapults were overwhelmed and pushed down for repairs. Teams of ant-like soldiers carried ladders and pushed arrow towers, braving arrows and wood, and kept moving forward.
"Ready the bow and arrow, release!"
On the city wall, Zhang Qingfeng roared at the top of his lungs, and arrows suddenly rained down like locusts.
Many soldiers were hit by arrows and fell to the ground, but they refused to retreat. When they came to the edge of the city wall, their own arrow tower began to show its power. Under its cover, they immediately set up ladders to climb.
"Prepare the golden juice! Pour it!"
"Where are the rocks? Throw them at me!"
The city wall was well prepared. Pots of boiling golden juice were poured down mercilessly. Accompanied by the whistling sound of boulders, many soldiers were either skinned and fleshed to death, burned to death, or were hit by boulders, leaving their flesh and blood torn to pieces. Mud, for a while, thick layers of blood accumulated under the city wall. The scene was horrific and inhumane.
"Niu Dutong, Xiang Dutong!"
Fang Yuan looked indifferent and continued to mobilize his troops and generals, and also transferred two martial arts sects to his side.
"The enemy is fierce, beware of beheading tactics!"
"Thank you, Master, for your concern. I will understand!"
Niu Dingtian and Xiang Zilong both bowed, and Xiang Zilong said: "Until we have exhausted all the elite soldiers in the city, I don't think the other side is so brave!"
Why beheading
The powerful Yuanli realm men on the opposite side directly form a group to attack. Not to mention anything else, as long as they kill Fang Yuan or capture all the captains with troops, they will win without a fight.
Fang Yuan had used it once before, directly killing Lu Renjia and putting an end to the chaos in Youshan Mansion, which was very convenient.
But this time the situation is different.
There are 20,000 elite soldiers in the city. Even if all the spiritual warriors and warriors on the opposite side come out and enter the city rashly and are restrained by the three of them, if they don't care about the life and death of their soldiers, they will definitely be able to consume all the spiritual warriors alive.
Therefore, this exchange is not worth it for any force.
Not to mention, it is not a secret that Fang Yuan owns a flying spiritual bird.
Even if the strong man on the opposite side is stupid, he will not come here rashly and become the turtle in the urn.
After a day of bloody fighting, a thick pile of corpses immediately accumulated under the city gate.
"Ming Jin withdraws his troops!"
The setting sun was like blood, and the Wu Kingdom's army slowly retreated, exiting this flesh and blood millstone.
"Report to the Lord of the Palace!"
Zhang Qingfeng was covered in wounds and his armor was stained red with blood: "Today's military offensive was fierce. More than a thousand of our troops were killed and 800 were seriously injured! The opponent's casualties can only be several times ours!"
He frowned as he spoke.
The army on the opposite side was so crazy that it was somewhat beyond his expectation.
If this happens every day, I'm afraid the entire Youshan Mansion army will collapse within ten days.
"Now that today is over, there are still two days left. Everyone, go down and recharge your batteries! Let's fight again tomorrow!"
Fang Yuan waved his hand nonchalantly.
"promise!"
…
At night, it was dark and windless.
In a secret room in the city, the lights were brightly lit.
Several Youshan Prefecture captains gathered together, all with solemn expressions: "This battle cannot continue!"
"In just one day, 10% of our troops were killed or wounded. How can it continue like this?"
Another man with a beard smashed his fist on the table: "That man is a spiritual warrior of the Wuzong, and he has a spiritual bird. The war situation is unfavorable, so he could just leave, but he wants us to stay and die!"
"good!"
Other school captains echoed, their indignation palpable.
This was also the sequelae of Fang Yuan's new power, but he failed to completely win over the army, and he rashly killed aristocratic families and started a war with the Wu Kingdom.
In fact, if it weren't for his peerless force to suppress and act so perversely, his subordinates would have rebelled long ago, and now, their patience has reached its limit.
"Xiang Xiaowei, you summoned us here, do you have an idea?"
The other captains cursed a few more times and looked at the person in the middle.
"good!"
One of the captains smiled and said: "We are all our brothers, so I will tell you the truth. Youshan Mansion will definitely be defeated. If we want to survive and even continue to be prosperous and wealthy, the best way is to change the family!"
As soon as these words came out, there was not much commotion in the audience. It was obvious that this idea had been in place for a long time.
"With our own strength, it is difficult! It is difficult! It is difficult to dedicate the city!"
The beard captain sighed: "Zhang Qingfeng is loyal to that man, and there are Yuanli realm warriors who take turns patrolling the city gate..."
"What if you add me?!"
Suddenly, a figure flashed and entered the field.
"Um?"
The captains who were talking about secrets were shocked. Some of them pulled out their swords directly. When they saw the person coming, their faces relaxed again and they showed joy: "Master Dutong!"
"Today it's my turn to inspect the city wall. It's easy to dedicate the city!"
All of this made you sigh: "The reason why I am doing this is not for myself, but to protect Youshan Mansion from the flames of war!"
"Totong is right!"
The captains were overjoyed: "With the commander in chief, what do we have to fear?"
There were a few impatient ones who even shouted: "You should have been the Lord of Youshan Palace in the first place, so what does Fang Yuan, a mere outsider, mean to you?"
"Very well, without further ado, we..."
This man looked sultry, but suddenly his brows furrowed again: "Who is that person?"
"Chirp!"
The high-pitched chirping of birds came from outside, and soon there were silhouettes of people, and a sigh came: "The cow is as strong as the sky, can you see and hear clearly?"
