In Piaoxue City, the warmth of early spring cannot float here.
It's already February, and the cold wind is still blowing in the snowy city.
Pedestrians passing by looked in a hurry, and the atmosphere in Piaoxue City had become increasingly strange in recent days.
Many desperate Piaoxue Sect disciples appeared on the street.
These Piaoxue Sect disciples, who used to be so prosperous in the past, are all in ruins now. Some of them are crazy about drinking and hang out in restaurants, brothels, gambling houses and other places, living in a state of drunkenness.
"It's all over, everything is over."
Ever since the news of the death of sect leader Yun Zhengxin came, the entire Piaoxue Sect has been in a state of despair.
Now Piaoxue Sect has no leader and no one to command. Facing the fierce attack of Pingbei Army, it is completely lost.
"The day the Pingbei Army marches north will be the day the Piaoxue Sect is destroyed."
In Piaoxue City, countless rumors are flying.
Some small families couldn't bear their temper, and the main members of the family packed up some of their belongings and fled out of the city overnight.
Unlike small families, big families can retreat at any time. There are too many burdens in the family, and because they are already deeply rooted in Piaoxue City, Piaoxue City represents their lifeblood. Under the entanglement of interests, they can leave.
It doesn't fit anywhere.
Therefore, the big family chose to send representatives to discuss with Piaoxue Sect to see if they could get new information.
On the other hand, he took the initiative to contact the Pingbei Army, wanting to know what Cao Su meant and whether there was still room for peace talks.
On the Piaoxue Mountain, the Piaoxue Sect's sect is wide open, and now the entire Piaoxue Sect looks much bleak.
The Great Elder Lan Yu, who had fled back in a hurry, as the current spokesperson of the Piaoxue Sect, summoned many elders of the Piaoxue Sect to discuss matters.
"Great Elder, many families including the three major families in the city have come to visit."
Elder Lan Yu is very old, but now he still has to deal with this kind of thing.
After the other elders inside the door heard the news, their hearts trembled and they subconsciously looked outside the house.
"They are waiting in the front hall and haven't come yet."
The Piaoxue Sect disciple who reported it awkwardly explained.
Lan Yu frowned and before she could answer, an elder from the Piaoxue Sect beside her scolded him: "What do they want to do? How come they have the nerve to come here?"
"In the past, when our Piaoxue Sect protected them, everyone flattered us, but what about now?"
This elder had a hot temper and immediately revealed the other party's intention.
Seeing this, several other elders quickly grabbed him: "Elder Ge, Elder Ge, calm down."
Elder Ge was furious and asked Lan Yu: "Great Elder, what do you want to say?"
Everyone looked at the Great Elder Lan Yu. The Elder's face was livid, and he seemed even uglier than before. He was not as angry as Elder Ge imagined, but said very calmly: "Go and invite them all in...
....."
The great elder's words puzzled everyone.
Elder Ge: "Great Elder!"
"do not talk."
Lan Yu stopped the hot-tempered Mr. Ge.
Not all the elders in Piaoxue Sect on the mountain are as hot-tempered as Mr. Ge. Most of them are somewhat panicked at this moment. Facing the fierce attack of Cao Su and the Northern Army, they don't know what to do.
.
Lan Yu said in a deep voice: "Cao Su has strong soldiers and horses, and there are many masters under his command. Now he has killed... the sect master, no one in Youzhou can stop him."
"Great Elder, what does this mean?"
Mr. Ge was somewhat dissatisfied. He didn't like how everyone looked so weak and had lost the Piaoxue Sect's face.
"Are we just going to watch Cao Su show off his power in front of us?"
"More than just showing off his power?" Another elder whispered: "I'm afraid Cao Su's real purpose is to come for our Piaoxue Sect. At this time, the life and death of the Piaoxue Sect is at stake. We must find a way to do it.
Solve this matter."
Cao Su didn't just want to show off his muscles, Cao Su was planning to take down Piaoxue City.
As long as Piaoxue City is captured, Piaoxue Sect's dominance in Youbei will become history, and the Pingbei Army's actual control scope will extend to Youbei and even Liaozhou.
Most of the elders below were silent at the moment.
Yun Zhengxin died, and these elders didn't know whether to be happy or sad.
In the past, I always felt that Yun Zhengxin was too long-handed and damaged some interests that originally belonged to them. But after Yun Zhengxin died, I realized that the entire Piaoxue Sect was relying on Yun Zhengxin for its survival.
As soon as Yun Zhengxin died, the pillar of Piaoxue Sect was completely broken.
"Great Elder, why don't we fight for peace with the Northern Army?"
"There are still many disciples in the sect, and everyone is angry about the death of the sect leader. If this power can be used, the Pingbei Army may not be defeated directly."
Mr. Ge is a standard war fighter. According to him, Cao Su and the Pingbei Army led by him seem not to be elite.
Their Piaoxue Sect was originally the best in Youzhou's martial arts world, and their fighting skills were elite.
"No, this is absolutely impossible!"
Finally, some elders couldn't sit still. An elder from the Piaoxue Sect who usually didn't deal well with Elder Ge stood up and firmly voted against: "In terms of numbers, tens of thousands of Pingbei Army troops are attacking now.
There are only a few thousand disciples of our Piaoxue Sect, up and down, and we do not have any advantage. In terms of top combat power, the sect leader and his four major disciples died in battle and escaped. We, the Piaoxue Sect, are the strongest right now.
There is only one Great Elder, how can he defeat so many masters like Cao Su?"
Mr. Ge had a hot temper. Seeing Mr. Lu jumping up and objecting, he shouted angrily: "Lu He, what are you talking about?"
"It's already at this time, is there any need to make a fuss about the festivals between the two of us? Now is the moment of life and death in Piaoxue City, and there must be no mixed personal feelings!"
Elder Lu He was ridiculed by Elder Ge in a weird way, and he was immediately furious.
"Well, Ge Datou, if you want to die, don't drag us into being buried with you. The Piaoxue Sect is not your one-man show!"
The two people directly pointed out their two attitudes, blowing their beards and staring, looking like they were about to fight.
The other elders quickly came over and stopped the two of them.
"Mr. Ge and Mr. Lu, calm down and calm down."
"Mr. Ge and Mr. Lu, it's not like it's not..."
The other elders pulled the two of them from having sex directly.
But the atmosphere seemed more awkward.
Lan Yu rubbed her eyebrows and said, "Okay, stop arguing, follow me out and meet the heads of the major families in our Piaoxue City."
He diverted his attention and took the lead to walk out of the hall. Seeing this, the other elders also quickly followed Lan Yu out.
Without everyone's support, Mr. Ge and Mr. Lu also stopped.
The two glared at each other angrily, snorted coldly, and followed obediently.
--------------------------
South of Piaoxue City, Cao Su divided the Pingbei Army into two.
Hong Ding led Li Li, Ma Chao and others to form a vanguard army and take the lead.
He personally led the Chinese army to press forward. The two armies were separated by more than ten miles, which was the most orthodox way of marching.
The vast army marched straight towards Piaoxue City.
Although Piaoxue City is also within Youzhou, the further north you go, the fewer small towns along the way, and the entire Pingbei Army is like an expedition, going deep alone.
However, at this time, Cao Su's requirements for marching were much lowered.
For this reason, it is no longer about how fierce the soldiers are, and how abundant the food, grass and weapons are.
It's about comparing who has a better mentality and who has more high-end combat power.
The Piaoxue Sect may still have high-level masters in the strength realm, but now that the Pingbei Army is single-handedly attacking the Piaoxue Sect, the Piaoxue Sect cannot be stopped.
But once Yun Zhengxin died, the people of Piaoxue Sect could not order the people of Youbei League, and they could only face Cao Su's pressing situation alone.
Two days later, Cao Su's vanguard army arrived at Piaoxue City.
The entire Piaoxue City is integrated with the Piaoxue Mountain behind it.
The city gates were closed, and the huge city looked very quiet under the snowy mountains.
On the city wall, the Piaoxue Sect disciples were on guard and stationed.
Piaoxue City is a martial arts city. Since its establishment, it has rarely been attacked by regular troops. So when it was actually attacked by an army of tens of thousands of people, the entire Piaoxue Sect disciples were at a loss. Although they stood on the city wall one by one,
But I was at a loss and didn't know what to do.
The Pingbei Army led by Cao Su fought in the north and south, fought countless wars, and had rich war experience.
On the first day after the army arrived, they set up camp outside Piaoxue City in an orderly manner.
Hong Ding then led dozens of horses to gallop around Piaoxue City.
"Hong Ding, the vanguard of General Pingbei, is here!"
"Everything in the world is not the king's land, and the shores of the land are not the king's ministers."
"Piaoxue City is harboring the Wanping Army rebellious party. Hong was ordered by General Pingbei to conduct a thorough investigation into Piaoxue City. Which general is in charge? Open the city gate quickly, don't miss the important event!"
Hong Ding followed Cao Su's teachings and first found a reason for himself.
The purpose of coming to Piaoxue City is not to "beat up the drowned dog", but to be ordered by General Pingbei to thoroughly investigate the Wanping rebellious party.
This reason has a high position and sufficient arguments. Cao Su is the Pingbei general. The key to sending Cao Su to control the wars in the north is to pacify the remnants of the Wanping army. Therefore, this reason also belongs to Cao Su's own job.
Piaoxuecheng can't explain it, and it can't be explained at all.
Hong Ding shouted several times outside the city, but no one on the city wall responded to him.
"The attitude is very bad."
Hong Ding asked for trouble and angrily rode back to his camp.
In Piaoxue City, people kept appearing at the top of the city, looking down the city.
The Pingbei Army was well-organized and disciplined, and all the soldiers stood upright. Thousands of people in the vanguard stood outside the city and formed a cavalry square formation, which gave them a feeling of overwhelming force.
In comparison, the disciples in Piaoxue City were all standing scattered on the city wall.
Many people don't even have bows and arrows, have never used them, and don't know how to defend the city.
"If there is a war, how can we defeat Cao Su?"
Lan Yu sighed slightly. After Yun Zhengxin died, Luo Jian, who had been hanging out with Yun Zhengxin, also disappeared.
This Luo Jian is a "bad guy". If it weren't for Luo Jian's confusion, Yun Zhengxin would not have come to the opposite side of Cao Su so quickly.
I heard that Cao Su had a strong opinion against Luo Jian. If he could capture Luo Jian and hand it over to Cao Su, I think it would calm down Cao Su's anger.
But now it's troublesome. Luo Jian didn't catch him, so he couldn't think of any other way to stop Cao Su.
"Great Elder."
Many elders of the Piaoxue Sect, together with the great elder Lan Yu, looked at Cao Jun's camp from a high section of the city wall.
When they saw that the always strong elder was now a little frustrated, they couldn't help but feel sad.
"No need to persuade me any more. When Cao Su's army arrives tomorrow, I will go to Cao Jun's camp alone. If I can't walk out of Cao Jun's camp by then...you all should disperse."
Lan Yu's words were extremely tragic, and many of the elders below were shocked after hearing them.
"Great Elder!"
"Great Elder, think twice!"
"Cao Su is vicious, the Great Elder must not put himself in danger..."
Lan Yu shook her head and smiled bitterly: "There is no need to persuade me anymore. In the past in Youzhou Mansion, I couldn't save Zhengxin's life. Today, Piaoxue City is in trouble. I should be the one to take over this cause and effect."
Lan Yu has always been resentful because she failed to save Yun Zhengxin before.
But who would have thought that Yun Zhengxin, who had been suppressing Cao Su, would be killed instantly?
It wasn't just him who was negligent, it was everyone else who was negligent.
However, from a results-oriented perspective, he, as the first elder of the Piaoxue Sect in the late stage of pill formation, should bear the main responsibility.
When everyone saw Lan Yu's firm attitude, their hearts sank.
The atmosphere also became more solemn.
The next day, Cao Su's army slowly arrived at Piaoxue City.
Hong Ding came to report important matters to Pioneer.
"After my subordinate arrived, Piaoxue City has kept its gates tightly closed. Last night, I sneaked over and took a look. There should still be some Piaoxue Sect disciples guarding the city wall."
This was also the first time for Hong Ding to be a pioneer, and he was actually very excited. He didn't expect that being a pioneer is a job that involves building roads and bridges over mountains and rivers.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Shengsheng created a path for the main force, and then allowed Cao Su's army to reach Piaoxue City more easily and accurately, saving a lot of physical strength and time.
"How dare you defend the city? I think the people in Piaoxue City are all tired of living."
Among the generals under Cao Su, Ma Chao has the roughest character. It is reasonable for young people to be angry.
Ma Chao hurriedly asked Cao Su for orders: "My lord, Ma Chao is willing to lead his troops to attack Piaoxue City."
When Ma Chao opened his mouth, some other generals also became anxious.
The attack on Piaoxue City this time was almost to gain credit, which is commonly known as "brushing data".
After all, all the opponent's main forces were killed or disabled by Cao Su, so this was almost a must-win battle.
So Zhang Ke and others glared at Ma Chao, thinking that this guy is not a big guy, but he is very clever. Now he has learned to answer questions quickly.
"My lord, the general is also willing to send troops to attack the city!"
"Me too!"
In the camp, all the officers and soldiers were excited and asked for orders one after another.
Only Wang Qing, Heng Xuesong, and Du Ning are a little embarrassed. The three of them are generals that Cao Su borrowed from the general. Now under Cao Su's account, they have actual posts but no real power. All three of them are
The polished commander.
How can a general have no troops at his disposal?
But there was nothing the three of them could do, after all, the three-man establishment was not with Cao Su.
Cao Su suddenly turned around with a smile and said to Wang Qing and the others: "Brother Wang, Brother Heng, Brother Du."
Wang Qing and the others trembled, and immediately clasped their fists and saluted: "The general will be here."
Cao Su said calmly: "If this Piaoxue City doesn't know what it's like today, it will inevitably be beaten."
"To deal with this snowy city, we need to use the power of thunder to create a shock."
"The three of them are the top masters in the world. I think that if the three of them can fight together, they will definitely make Piaoxue City frightened. When the time comes, it will be easy for me to launch an attack again. I wonder what the three of you think?"
Wang Qing and the others were immediately overjoyed. They did not expect that there would be a great opportunity to gain military glory, so they hurriedly agreed.
Wang Qing even patted his chest and assured: "General, don't worry, my three brothers will definitely attack and kill with all their strength, so that Piaoxue City will know how powerful our divine warriors are."
