On the 22nd, heavy snow fell for four consecutive days and four nights, and the Tianjue Empire had already besieged Dongning City for seven days. There were vertical and horizontal sword qi and scars caused by trebuchets all over the city. As if washed by blood, in the cold winter, the blood of the soldiers quickly froze to ice on the wall, which looked like it was plated with a layer of blood-colored ice crystals.
Under the city, there were corpses everywhere. Gong Shangming ordered the archers to guard against the Tianjue Empire from collecting the corpses, so that there were layers of corpses of the Tianjue Empire soldiers piled up under the city, and the Tianjue Empire had to step on the companions when attacking the city. The corpse erected a ladder, as if the corpse had become part of the siege equipment.
…
In the middle of the night, the Tianjue Empire had no food.
Inside the large tent of the Chinese army, it was cold. Chen Yu stood in front of the map, his body trembling slightly, suddenly turned to look at the generals, and said, "I have already attacked the East City Gate this afternoon, why did he retreat? Chang Hu, you are a general in command, what should you be guilty of?"
A ten thousand captain hurriedly knelt down and said with a green face: "Your Majesty, our casualties are too great. The two thousand brothers in the Pioneer Battalion all died in the city. The cavalry and heavy shields of the Chinese army simply couldn't resist the city. On the stone above, and just below the gate of the east city, our dragon knights have killed seven dragon knights in a group battle. It is not the end general 〖★, I don’t want to enter the city, but can’t do it at all, even if the end general ordered , It's just letting the remaining five thousand brothers die under the city!"
"You are afraid of death, but it makes sense?!"
Chen Yu pointed at Chang Hu and sternly shouted: "For the generals who are as greedy for life and fear of death as you, who would attack the city recklessly? How many men and horses were destroyed by the soldiers of the three armies before they went to the city, just because of your cowardice. , But you still have a plausible sophistry! Come here, drag Chang Hu down to me and cut it!"
"Your Majesty! Will be innocent at the end!"
Chang Hu fell to his knees, but was dragged down by several guards. In a blink of an eye, the bloody head was presented in front of Chen Yu, but no one dared to speak from the beginning to the end. The attack on the city was unsuccessful for seven consecutive days, but it was broken. With at least nearly 150,000 troops, Chen Yu needed to vent his anger, and Chang Hu was just not lucky enough.
"What's the situation in the city?" Chen Yu looked at everyone with cold eyes.
A group of commanding-level generals dared not speak, but Liao Yang slowly walked forward and said: "Your Majesty, according to the news I understand, our army used the dragon knight to descend from the sky and burn the granary on the first day of the siege. Most of the food stored in Dongning City has been burned down, and the food has been reduced. The 200,000 troops in the city can only continue to forcibly collect food from the people’s homes, so that the people in Dongning City have been complaining these days, and it has developed to this day. We have already seen some people change their children and eat. Many people have not eaten for three or five days. The bark and roots of the trees in the city have almost been gnawed away."
Chen Yu said indifferently: "It seems that Gong Shangming will not last long. The people in the city change their children and eat. This shows that Gong Shangming's rations have also been exhausted. As long as we surround the city, we can conquer Dongning City in one effort! People, take my hand encyclical to dispatch the Di Jue Bing regiment, let them join in the attack!"
"Yes!"
Liao Yang frowned and said, "Your Majesty, our army has also run out of food."
"When did this happen?"
"This morning, it's already night, and there are still many soldiers in the camp that haven't even eaten lunch. Many moldy and rotten grains have been cooked, but it's still a drop in the bucket. It's not enough."
"Do the soldiers know about the lack of food?"
"have no idea for now."
Chen Yu took a deep breath: "Then we must not let them know. If the order is passed on, it means that the food transport team was delayed on the road, and it will definitely be there within a day. Besides... Kill, help."
The Tianjue Corps is the heart and soul of the Dongcheng King, and the Vanguard Battalion is the elite iron cavalry of the Tianjue Corps. Suddenly, the Dongcheng King frowned and said: "Your Majesty, once the horse is killed for food, I am afraid that the combat power of the Tianjue Corps will be greatly increased. And besides... 10,000 war horses and war horses can feed an army of 800,000 horses. After one day, there will still be no food."
Chen Yu frowned: "Don't worry too much about the King of East City, I have calculated it. Except for the vanguard camp of the Tianjue Corps, we have a total of 150,000 cavalry. These 150,000 horses are enough to support us for 15 days. , As long as we survive, the people in the city may have all starved to death, and Dongning City will be won without a fight!"
Dongcheng King trembled all over: "Your Majesty, are you planning to give up the iron cavalry of the Tianjue Empire? Once we don't have the 150,000 iron cavalry, what else shall we use to fight against the Tianjue Empire?"
"If a person starves to death, what can happen even if they have a cavalry?"
Chen Yu looked at him coldly, and said: "I have decided, no need to say more. Every day I kill horses for food. We must seal all the food roads around Dongning City. We can’t eat food, and Gong Shangming shouldn’t even want to eat it. Go ahead, I want to see how long this sour scholar who has no power to hold on to the chicken can last."
After speaking, Chen Yu greeted Han Yuan and said, "Sect Master, follow me to the Forest of No Return tonight. I want to meet the Demon Emperor and see what she is doing. Are you not afraid of the revenge of my millions? ?"
Won nodded: "Okay."
Liao Yang frowned and said: "Since the female slaughter has decided to cooperate with the Baize mercenary, she must have made up her mind. Your Majesty and the Sect Master do not have to take risks at all. After all, not returning to the forest is the territory of the demon spirit family, just in case. The female slaughter gathers the army, I am afraid that your majesty will have life worry."
Chen Yu smiled: "The soldiers of the three armies are fighting for me, and I am worth a gamble for the lives of the soldiers of the three armies. I believe that your female murderer should not want to take my life."
Han Yuan clasped his fists: "Your Majesty, rest assured, I will summon all the masters of the Tian Jue Sect to go together.
"Good, very good."
…
In the middle of the night, a group of people rushed into the forest of no return.
The heavy snow was flying, and the female slaughter on the hills was like a watchful eye to this group of people, while Lin Muyu, Sikongyao, Qin Yin and others all stood on the newly established city fortress, which was filled with mud, stones and It was poured and frozen by water, guarded by 100,000 Baize mercenaries, and was named Baize Fortress. After many days of transportation, the Baize Fortress is now a forest of crossbows and chariots.
Far away, Chen Yu raised his head and looked at the fortress that suddenly appeared on the grain road, frowning uncontrollably, and said, "What's going on? When did a fortress appear on the snake road?"
Liao Yang squinted his eyes and took a closer look, and said, "What is flying on the fortress is the battle flag of the Baize mercenary. It turns out that the Baize mercenary has been hiding here..."
Chen Yu pondered and said nothing.
Liao Yang said: "Your Majesty, what's the matter?"
"If we retreat..." In the cold weather, Chen Yu's forehead was covered with cold sweat, and said: "If we retreat, where should we go? This Baize mercenary appeared like a deadly sharp knife. On our way to retreat, this... Sikong Yao doesn’t want to leave a retreat for our Tianjue Empire!"
Liao Yang nodded: "The location of this city fortress is unique. It can be said to be one man and one man. If it is really like what your majesty said, I am afraid that it is really bad."
Chen Yu gritted his teeth and whispered in a low voice: "Hateful, once Dongning City is captured, I will immediately destroy the Baize mercenary group of brash men who don't know the heights of the sky!"
Han Won wore a black robe, flew quietly in the air, and suddenly said, "Your Majesty, the demon emperor is here to welcome us!"
Sure enough, amidst the heavy snowfall, dense figures appeared on the post. The Demon Emperor Girl still held her pipa, standing elegantly and quietly in the wind and snow, her bright eyes looked at Chen Yu and his party, and She was surrounded by many demon spirits with the strength of the Demon King and Demon Sovereign. On the hills, at least tens of thousands of high-level demon spirits gathered here.
Chen Yu stepped on the snow and rose up suddenly, his body volleyed into the air, clasping his fists and saying, "Chen Yu sees your Majesty the Demon Emperor!"
"The little girl has seen Majesty Chen Yu!" Nu Xi smiled slightly: "I don't know why your Majesty brought hundreds of people here this time?"
Chen Yu smiled faintly: "I just wanted to ask, why your Majesty the Demon Emperor will allow Bai Ze mercenaries to arrogantly chaos on the snake disk road, has your Majesty forgotten the agreement between us?"
"I haven't forgotten."
The female killer looked faintly and said, "It's just that the bargaining chips of Baize mercenaries are more attractive, and Miss Sikongyao also promised that she will never set fire to the forest, and the little girl is the emperor of the demon spirit family, so only Can make a choice, I chose Bai Ze mercenary."
Chen Yu gritted his teeth: "Your Majesty the Demon Emperor has decided to become an enemy of our Tianjue Empire?"
"Whatever you think."
The girl said with a smile: "But it seems that your Majesty has brought so many people here. I must fight this one. Since I want to fight, what do you want to do? The children and grandchildren of the demon spirit, prepare to kill the enemy! "
Suddenly, there was a roar of wolves and tigers on the hill, and the demon spirits showed their hideous claws and fangs.
Not only that, but also densely packed Baize mercenaries in white robes appeared on the hills. They stretched their long bows and pointed them straight down the mountain. The arrows were glowing with a faint cold light, and the all-colored magic heart arrows. In addition to the archers, there were also a series of crossbows and hunting crossbows, pointing straight at Chen Yu and others.
Down the mountain, Han Yuan's robe sleeves flew up, and golden lights came out, flying up like a god, and said with a precarious smile: "Nvsill, are you really going to fight Tianjuezong?"
Female Killer smiled faintly: "Sect Master Han Won, you are a master of the first generation. If we are reasonable, you are now provoking our demon spirits in the territory of my demon spirit clan. It is not that we want to prosecute wars."
"Stop it..."
Won laughed loudly: "From now on there will be no demon spirits between the mountains, kill me!"
