The letter stated that the 100,000 troops of the Southern Zhou Dynasty were ready to go out on the southwest border. Wu Yunhe led a million-strong Heavenly Division and immediately marched to the southwest, cooperating with the Southern Zhou army inside and outside to destroy the black cavalry army and occupy the southwest.

After reading the contents of the letter, Chen Mo's eyes sparkled. He had been waiting for this day for a long time, and it finally came.

Chen Mo immediately issued a military order and marched to the southwest.

But he did not lead the entire Tianshi Army to the southwest. He only brought 500,000, and all the tens of thousands of elite soldiers he had trained before.

Chen Mo left the remaining Tianshi Army in the north under the control of Zhang He and others. After they left, it was time for Zhang He to be "resurrected".

Chen Mo will leave three thousand Zhenxi troops to be responsible for supervision and control.

After giving these instructions, Chen Mo found Ye Yiren and asked her to send a message to the Marquis of Zhenxi immediately.

……

In addition to Luocheng, Chen Mo took Ye Yiren, Du Zijin, Dong Kui, and Wu Yunhe to go first. He needed to go to the southwest to coordinate the overall situation.

Five hundred thousand Celestial Army troops followed.

Qiqian Zhenxi Road cavalry followed the Tianshi Army to supervise.

……

It had been half a month since the army left. Ten days ago, the Marquis of Zhenxi received a letter from Ye Yiren and made preparations.

Southwest border.

Fuyou City.

Two hundred thousand black cavalry troops were stationed in this city to intimidate the wolf in the Southern Zhou Dynasty.

After the original commander of the Black Cavalry Army, Mugang, became the commander of the Jinyi Guards, the current commander is a member of the royal family, named Chu Zhen, and today the emperor's ninth uncle is King Zhongshun.

The lieutenant general is Xiao Ziting, the elder brother of the current queen. He is quite talented and was named Yongning Bo by the late emperor, a superior title. He is also the future head of the Xiao family.

Both of them have extremely prominent identities.

The two stood on the city wall, looking at the retreating Southern Zhou army with sad expressions on their faces.

In the past half month, the Southern Zhou army has continuously harassed Fuyou City.

But whenever the Black Cavalry Army was in full formation, ready to respond to the enemy's attack at any time.

The other party withdrew.

Harassed seven or eight times a day.

There is no peace even at night.

But they still dare not be careless.

If the Southern Zhou Dynasty comes for real, they will be beyond redemption.

After all, the local leader is Zhou Jiuyue, the famous general of the Southern Zhou Dynasty. This man is a god in military skills and ruthless. Four years ago, he sacrificed tens of thousands of Southern Zhou troops and led the Chu army deep into his trap.

A powerful master was beheaded, shocking the world.

"You son of a bitch, you have the guts to fight us openly."

Xiao Ziting spat hard and slapped the battlement in front of him with his palm.

Xiao Ziting has a burly body, a Chinese-character face, bright eyes and a high nose. No matter where he stops, he has an indescribable majesty. He was also a handsome young man when he was young, but after many years of guarding the border, his face is full of vicissitudes.

"We have received a letter from the imperial court. The Marquis of Zhenxi has led an army of 200,000 to the capital of Shu. It seems that he plans to have a decisive battle with the imperial court. Zhou Jiuyue has learned the news and will attack the city in the near future." Chu Zhenchou said.

King Zhongshun was even taller than Xiao Ziting, with a big belly. He wore a shirtless white cloth jacket, green silk trousers, and leggings. He looked like a strong uncle next door, rather than a wealthy man.

The prince.

Xiao Ziting frowned and stared with bated breath. This meant that they would have no reinforcements or supplies.

What lies before them is surrender and a fight to the death.

Surrender, it is impossible for Xiao Ziting to surrender. Every inch of mountains and rivers is an inch of blood. As a member of the Xiao family, we can only die standing and cannot live on our knees.

"Your Highness, fight with them." A flash of blood flashed in Xiao Ziting's eyes.

"This is what I mean. This is the White Lotus Demonic Art and the demon blood of a first-grade demon sent by the imperial court." Chu Zhen took out a pamphlet and a jade bottle from his arms and handed them to Xiao Ziting.

Xiao Ziting was stunned. He was born in a wealthy family in the south of the Yangtze River. Naturally, he had heard of the White Lotus Magic Technique, which could instantly increase a person's cultivation level at the cost of a loss of lifespan.

In other words, as long as you use the White Lotus Demonic Skill, you will be dead even if you are still alive.

After a slight hesitation, Xiao Ziting took it over, not afraid of death but afraid of this.

Chu Zhen patted Xiao Ziting's shoulder and said in a deep voice: "As soon as we see Zhou Jiuyue show up, we will pull him down to support him even if he dies."

Xiao Ziting nodded heavily.

……

Night falls.

On the southwest border, the Southern Zhou camp is brightly lit.

In the big tent, Zhou Jiuyue and a dozen generals underneath lit lamps to discuss matters.

At this moment, a Southern Zhou soldier hurriedly ran into the tent.

"Report"

"Commander, urgent message from the Imperial Guard"

The soldier knelt on one knee and raised the letter above his head with both hands.

Zhou Jiuyue raised his hand gently, and the letter was sucked into his hand.

The soldier next to him quickly brought a pamphlet.

This kind of emergency requires decoding to know the specific content.

Without decoding, it is just a piece of waste paper even if others get it.

A quarter of an hour later, Zhou Jiuyue learned the content of the letter, his eyes were like torches, and he glanced at the generals: "In three days, the fireworks will serve as a signal to attack the city."

"No."

……

Three days later.

As a burst of fire shot up into the sky, the sky behind Fuyou Castle bloomed.

The ground suddenly shook, and the firelight illuminated the entire outside of Fuyou City.

"Enemy attack!"

"Enemy attack!"

On the city wall, golden gongs sounded.

The black cavalrymen who had just taken turns to lie down were disturbed by the sound of gongs. They quickly put on their clothes and armor and ran towards the city wall.

At this moment, ladders were set up on the city wall, and arrows rained down from the city. The Southern Zhou army under Zhou Jiuyue held their shields high, hunched over, and climbed up the ladder like a string of ants. Behind them, a team

The team of archers tried their best to shoot at the Chu army on the wall, trying their best to cover their attack on the city.

At the top of Fuyou City, the Chu State held a fork pole and struck the pole to flip over the ladder set up by the Southern Zhou Army on the city wall. The Southern Zhou Army who were clinging to it screamed and fell to the ground.

Since then, the side attacking the city has suffered huge casualties in sieges, and it is true that the force is not many times that of the defenders outside the city. Although it has caused casualties, it cannot be captured.

Therefore, generally speaking, to attack a city is to besiege it. When the city runs out of ammunition and food, the city will naturally collapse without attacking.

Also, if there is an internal response in the city.

Chu Zhen and Xiao Ziting personally supervised the battle at the city tower, scanning the city wall below closely to see if Zhou Jiuyue was there.

However, both of them had an ominous premonition in their hearts. The fireworks shooting into the sky from behind the city just now made them feel that something was wrong.

"Is it possible that there is an internal conspiracy?" Such a thought just appeared in Xiao Ziting's mind.

A young general hurriedly ran to the top of the city and came to the two men: "Your Majesty, General Xiao, it's not good, the north gate was attacked by a large number of enemy troops, and they have been quickly defended."

I can't keep a few words on my lips.
