When the dawn of dawn shone on the head of Jingling City, the Jianghuai Army launched wave after wave of attacks from all directions, shouting to kill Zhentian. They not only cut off the source of the moat, but also filled up a large section outside the main city gate with sand and stones.
moat.
When Kou Zhong, Xu Ziling and the injured Feng Ge climbed up the city tower, they saw the enemy's army slowly pouring into the plain between the city wall and the Han River. A large flag with the word "Du" written on it was fluttering in the wind at the center of the army.
The enemy was regrouping after another attack by the Jianghuai Army was thrown down like a rain of arrows. Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling looked at the huge military formation of 30,000 people outside the city at a loss and at a loss.
Although they were extremely resourceful, they didn't know how to deal with this situation of thousands of troops confronting each other on the battlefield.
Feng Ge sat down slumped between the two of them.
If it hadn't been for the two men to heal him, he would probably still be lying on the bed. But now he is still weak and weak, so he can barely support himself so that he can hand over the command to the two of them according to expediency.
The seven generals who defended the city came to the three of them with doubts on their faces.
These generals are the second-level leaders who dominate the villa. Regardless of their experience and strength, they are inferior to the generals who just lost their lives in the bloody battle with Huanhua. But now that there is no general in Shu, Liao Hua has to use them to make up for it. How will the round be done under normal circumstances?
Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling were appointed as the commander-in-chief of guarding Jingling.
He was surrounded by Feng Ge's close followers and soldiers to prevent the secret from leaking out.
Feng Ge said to the seven people in a deep voice: "When you hear what I want to say now, you must not scream loudly to avoid alarming the soldiers. Do you understand?"
The generals should be the leaders.
Feng Ge himself was a Sui Dynasty general in Jingling City who was highly respected and highly respected. At this time, he was the only one who could suppress the overall situation.
Feng Ge barely straightened his back and wrote lightly: The owner of the village has been killed by the Yin Gui demon girl Huan Huan.
The generals' expressions suddenly changed.
Feng Ge briefly explained the situation and then opened his palm to reveal the military talisman taken from Fang Zetao's body and said with a straight face:
The village owner was in danger and ordered me to take charge of the mountain village. However, at this moment when the two armies were facing each other, the bad news about the village owner must not be leaked, otherwise the morale of the army would be difficult to stabilize.
The generals were filled with grief and indignation but there was nothing they could do.
Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling secretly thought that Fang Zetao's death had shaken the hearts of these seven generals.
Feng Ge reluctantly cheered up and said: Because I was also injured, it was difficult for me to personally preside over this battle that was related to Jingling's life and death. I could only plan from the side for all offensive and defensive matters. Brother Kou and Brother Xu were responsible for their orders. They were just like me.
Do you understand that those who disobey orders will be killed?
All the generals were in a state of confusion. The six gods had no master, and they knew that the two men were extremely resourceful and brave enough to agree.
Someone asked: How will General Qian fare?
Qian Yun was originally Feng Ge's boss, but in terms of argumentation and moral standing, he was still below Feng Ge.
Feng Ge's eyes flashed with murderous intent and he said calmly: I will handle this matter. You should return to your posts immediately and wait for orders!
The generals took their orders and left.
Feng Ge's face turned from blue to black and he was so frightened that the two of them rushed to use their energy to help each other for a while before he recovered, but he was even weaker than before.
A gust of morning wind blew Feng Ge and shivered, so the two of them hurriedly helped him into the tower.
Feng Ge summoned a general named Feng Han into the building. This man was Feng Ge's nephew and could be trusted. After waving away the other men, he led Feng Han to close the wooden door before sighing at Kou and Xu and saying: As long as Zhuang Zhuang
When the bad news comes out, the whole Jingling will be in chaos, and everyone will be scrambling to escape. Jingling will be self-defeating. Can you two have a good idea?
Kou Zhong asked in a deep voice: How many available troops does Jingling have?
Feng Handai replied: The villa itself has a military strength of 30,000, and if we add in the temporary recruitment of strong men, the number will be 50,000.
Xu Ziling wondered: Isn't that 20,000 more than the Jianghuai army outside the city?
Feng Ge took a hard breath and said, "What we saw just now is just the main force of the Jianghuai Army. They have several teams attacking other city gates. Their combined strength reaches 70,000 to 80,000, and their soldiers have different training, weapons and experience."
Better than us in every aspect.
Feng Han said: Our villa troops are divided into seven armies. The villa owner's personal guard has the largest number of troops, with eight thousand men. The other armies each have four thousand men. Uncle and I each lead an army. The other leaders will be killed by the witch. They must be killed.
Only by reappointment.
Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling heard this and felt as if they were fighting. They were facing Du Fuwei, who was invincible among the heroes in the competition for hegemony. Their own people were in panic and confusion. This battle was already lost without having to fight.
Feng Han sighed: If the uncle is not injured, he can still stabilize the overall situation and fight a few tough battles with the enemy, but now?
well……
When Feng Ge was about to say something, he suddenly coughed violently and spurted out blood, which was shocking.
Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling were busy helping him circulate his Qi and blood, but they didn't know that he would faint in the chair as soon as he rolled his eyes.
The three of you looked at me and your hands and feet were confused.
After a while, Kou Zhong said flatly: Brother Feng, take this military talisman and go out immediately to appoint the generals of each army. Then come back here to discuss countermeasures. Mr. Feng will be taken care of by us.
Feng Han hesitated to speak but finally obeyed his order.
※※※
Kou Zhong felt the pulse of Feng Ge who was lying in the chair and then put down his hand and breathed a sigh of relief: He has been able to make his own luck. If he is in a coma, he will suffer less than if he is awake. Alas! That witch is so powerful that even Ning Daoqi may not be able to kill her.
.
Xu Ziling said sideways: They died miserably.
Kou Zhong listened in silence for a while to the sound of horses neighing and war drums coming from outside the city tower and whispered: I wonder if the people at Pegasus Ranch can leave safely?
Xu Ziling moved to the long and narrow crenel to peer out and turned his back to him and said: "There should be no problem. Because Father Du deliberately left a gap to force the people of Jingling City to escape from that direction, it was convenient for them. Humph! Unless Father himself personally
Otherwise, with the skills of the mall owner and Liang Zhi, they should be able to safely escort Luo Fang and Xu Yang away. Alas!
Kou Zhong came to his side and looked out from another crenel where the arrows were released. He saw that the Jianghuai army was still dispatching troops to form a formation. He felt helpless in his heart and said with a bitter smile: "I wonder if we were too lucky in the past, so we got Taiji today."
No retribution is coming. Now I am in so much pain that I want to commit suicide and even hate my own incompetence.
Xu Ziling was silent for a while and suddenly laughed and said: Do you want to know the reason?
Kou Zhong said in astonishment: Which aspect are you referring to?
Xu Ziling said calmly: "I'm referring to your loss of confidence. It's all because I never thought that there could be an opponent as vicious and cunning as Huanwen in this world. I watched her kill our comrades in vain, but there was nothing I could do to stop her."
If you stop it, you will even hate yourself and blame yourself for your incompetence. If you can't regain your fighting spirit, we can't even hope to leave here with our lives.
Kou Zhong smiled bitterly and said: Do you have the fighting spirit?
Xu Ziling's eyes flashed with lightning and he said: Of course! The worst that can happen is death. Remember what Old Master Bai taught you, when Heaven consigns a great responsibility to this people, they must first strain their bones and muscles, starve their bodies and skins, suffer, their minds are empty, and their bodies are in chaos.
What he did?
Kou Zhong immediately puffed up his chest and listened solemnly.
Xu Ziling looked at him with flashing eyes and continued: Now we are at the turning point of life. Use your big head, Mr. Zhong, to think that we just fought a tough battle with the world's number one enchantress with real swords and real guns...
Then he pointed to the Jianghuai military road that covered the mountains and plains outside the cave: And outside is the old man Du Fuwei who has the opportunity to unify the world. We can fight against these masters who look down on the world, no longer the former market hooligans or ordinary Jianghu low-level players.
Kou Zhong immediately brightened his eyes and said energetically: Ha! I understand, just now Huan Huan not only failed to kill us, but also managed to escape with injuries, which is already remarkable. However, it is not that glorious to win with more people than less.
Xu Ziling shook his head and said: How can there be any fairness in fighting for hegemony in the world? We have to do everything possible to create an unfair situation. Huanwan has been trained since childhood and has the guidance of a master. But we are monks halfway and still have to blindly explore this world.
It's extremely unfair. What we have to fight for now is time to kill Huanhua before she kills us, do you understand?
Kou Zhong understood and said a little discouraged: No matter how confident we are, it is clear that the enemy is strong and we are weak. As long as the news of Fang Zetao's death leaks out, Jingling will collapse. Alas! Tell me what to do.
Woolen cloth.
Xu Ziling frowned and said: You must get rid of this shortcoming of being easily excited and easily frustrated before you can achieve great things.
The man was living in troubled times, and the worst he could do was to die in battle and leave his corpse behind. What else was there to be afraid of? Kou Zhong remained silent, but his eyes gradually lit up.
Xu Ziling reached out and grabbed his shoulder and said: Although there are thousands of people charging into battle on the battlefield, everyone is alone and dying is extremely lonely! Think about the loneliness of fighting alone among millions of people and you will feel
I will no longer be confused by the scene of thousands of troops outside. Master Zhong, don’t you want to fight for hegemony in the world? There is a touchstone outside the city in front of you. I am here for the innocent people of Jingling, but you are here to fight for hegemony.
the journey.
Kou Zhong laughed and said: You are indeed my good brother. Every word he says strikes my heart like a drum in the evening and a bell in the morning.
But my compassion for the people of Jingling is no different from yours.
At this time, Feng Han rushed in like a whirlwind and shouted: No! The news that Qian Yun was rescued by his men and the owner of the village will be leaked at any time.
Kou Zhong completely regained his previous determination and confidence and said coldly: Have you completed your mission? Feng Han was infected by his calmness and calmed down and replied: This is no longer a problem.
Kou Zhong looked up to the sky with a long smile and said: Okay! Let me and my father have a tough battle to see who of us has the harder fist.
Feng Han said in shock: Who is the father!
Xu Ziling replied: It's Du Fuwei. Feng Han, you immediately send people to send your uncle to the ranch, and also send troops to evacuate the women and children in the city to a safe place outside the city. If the city is destroyed, just let them go to Pegasus Ranch. Shang Xiuxun will never see death.
Unrescuable.
Then he looked at Kou Zhong.
Kou Zhong looked up to the sky and smiled again, showing his iron-like fighting spirit and confidence, and led the way out of the city tower to the city wall.
※※※
Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling stood side by side on the top of the wall. Outside the city were the Jianghuai troops with a flourishing military and banners like the sea. The number of Jianghuai troops increased to 40,000.
Du Fuwei's central army was deployed on a hill, with cavalry as the main force and armored corps with heavy equipment as the auxiliary.
The forward army is composed of shield soldiers, archers, sword and axemen, and engineering soldiers, and is equipped with necessary tools for siege such as wood, ladders, and carts.
Each of the five thousand men on the left and right flanks were all cavalry.
There are still two units in the rear of the Chinese army that can both defend the rear and serve as reinforcements.
At this time, the sun rises in the sky and illuminates the earth, making the weapons shine, adding to the murderous atmosphere.
The war drums are beating.
More than 70 iron-plated vertical vehicles designed to block arrows began to move in the direction of Jingling. Behind each vehicle were more than ten archers. As long as they reached the appropriate distance, they could shoot from behind the large iron plate that was erected two feet high to the city.
Cover other people's attacks.
Just think about the Jianghuai army's ability to conquer even a fortified city like Liyang, and you'll know that these iron-branded cars that look like tombstones are no joke.
The trucks began to move toward them like tall towers.
Since the height of the warriors on the carts is similar to the top of the wall, they can not only cover the entire city within the range of arrows, but when the city wall is pressed against, the warriors can also directly step onto the top of the wall to attack the city.
The horn sounded loudly.
Pushed by hundreds of engineering soldiers, hundreds of catapults passed over the building trucks and chased after the arrow-blocking iron trucks.
The 40,000 Jianghuai troops roared together and their horses neighed wildly, causing the situation outside Jingling City to change color.
Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling exchanged glances and then shouted angrily: Kou Zhong is here, Du Fuwei, do you dare to fight me alone?
His voice spread far and wide, and even the shouts of tens of millions of people could not cover it up.
The soldiers and civilians of Jingling who were defending the city were frightened to death by the opponent's systematic and well-organized massive attack. Their morale was greatly boosted when they heard the sound, and they shouted in unison that shook the heaven and the earth.
Xu Ziling's indifferent mind also made his blood boil.
Du Fuwei slapped his horse and appeared on the hill and shouted coldly: "If Master Fang can guarantee Zhong'er that Jingling City will be handed over to me after you lose, then Du will not hesitate to fight. Er Wuwu actually regarded the battlefield where thousands of armies are facing each other as a battlefield."
It’s ridiculous to be a place where children play! It’s ridiculous!
The sound was high but not loud, and it spread throughout the hills, mountains, and fields, outside the city, and still lingering in the city. It can be seen that his skill was superior to Kou Zhong's.
The most powerful thing is that he seizes the opportunity and uses psychological tactics to emphasize that Jiang is old and spicy. Kou Zhong, who has little experience, will never be his opponent.
The advancing Jianghuai troops all cheered for the commander's heroic words, and immediately suppressed the shouts of Jingling soldiers and civilians.
Xu Ziling's heart moved and he said: The demon girl must have been seriously injured, so she had to find a place nearby for treatment, and she didn't even have time to notify Du Fuwei. If we can find her before she recovers, we may be able to get rid of her.
Kou Zhong looked at Du Fuwei from afar and said in a low voice as if he couldn't hear him: This time it's too bad, please think of a way soon.
Xu Ziling was stunned for a moment and then understood.
The sound of footsteps sounded. Feng Han and more than ten soldiers came behind him and said: The retreat is done!
Sure enough, Du Fuwei's voice came: Fang Zetao, are you mute?
Xu Ziling, Kou Zhong and Feng Han all changed their expressions at the same time.
