Chapter two hundred and eighty first soldiers approaching the city
As the sun rose in the east, several figures slowly appeared on the mountain path outside the stronghold along with the dawn light. Han Qiu Ming and several generals of the Assembly appeared one after another in front of the soldiers of Yunziying. Following them, there was a glance
Zhou Yun roughly estimated the total strength of the endless heaven, earth, and human armies to be around 15,000.
However, on the left side of the soldiers of the Disarmament Council, there are two teams with clear flags. Judging from the color of the 'Shenmu', they are the Xuanwu and Baihu battalions, with a total strength of more than 10,000 people.
Based on the analysis of the situation where the forces from both sides came out, the organizers estimated that on the last day of the examination, they intended to clear out the Yunzi camp, which intended to stir up a rebellion, to achieve the effect of vigilant against all candidates, and to let everyone know that it would not be possible to be the first to win.
Good ending.
As for why the Suzaku and Qinglong battalions did not show up, Xu Qian guessed that the other party should be responsible for the logistics. After all, 25,000 soldiers went on an expedition, and without the corresponding number of people to transport and move supply points, it would be difficult to sustain the final battle.
While Zhou Yun and others were analyzing the enemy's strength, Han Qiu Ming was also sizing up the Yunzi Camp base area in front of him. What surprised the Seventh Battalion Alliance was that the reinforced Xuanwu First Stronghold had undergone earth-shaking changes.
The most direct analogy is that a week ago the stronghold looked like a simple mountain fortress, but a week later it turned into a military fortress with a high city and a deep pool.
The thin wooden fence was thickened and raised several times, forming a 10-meter-high and 2.5-meter-wide city wall. Not only were the Yunziying Battalion's crossbowmen standing on top of the city wall, they were also covered with city defense weapons, sharp
The tip of the arrow shone coldly in the sun, making the enemy soldiers flinch.
"Oh my god, it's so gorgeous." Guo Zhiwei couldn't help but sigh. A simple stronghold was armed to the teeth, and its defensive capabilities were probably no less than those of the main cities of the battalions.
"Personally, I think we should use fire to attack. The city walls are made of wood and they will be destroyed once burned." Luo Yuda thought he was a smart suggestion, but Han Qiuming sneered: "Do you think the other party didn't think of it? It is prohibited by the practical assessment regulations.
To make a fire, the only thing that can be used is zero-degree flame. Do you think that something that is neither itchy nor painful can burn down the city wall? Xu Qian is not as simple as you think."
"Tsk, where did that moat come from?" Cheng Hui was a little confused. Xuanwu's first stronghold was far away from the coast. Where did the opponent get the water from?
"Instructor, why did you forget that they have a water-based superpower operator? That blond woman is not easy to mess with." Ling Xukui still had a clear memory of Daiqinya. This was the first time since she became sensible that she suffered consecutive losses in a duel.
"I see, haha, Xiaoshuang, are you still going to smash the wall?" Cheng Hui asked humorously, but Cheng Shuang had a dull look on his face and completely ignored him. The moat in front of him was about six meters wide and three meters deep, and there was only one outside the city.
A two-meter path leads to the main entrance of the stronghold. If Cheng Shuang wanted to break through the wall, it would probably be more difficult than a head-on breakthrough.
"Prepare the ladder!" Han Qiuming didn't want to waste time and gave the order decisively. Although the Yunzi Camp stronghold was heavily armed, the enemy only had 8,000 soldiers and horses at full strength, and they had 25,000 troops not including logistics. There was a huge disparity in the strength of the two sides.
As long as you perform normally, capturing the stronghold will not be a problem.
However, as soon as Han Qiuming finished speaking, a middle-aged man with sharp features and a very heroic appearance emerged from the Xuanwu Camp: "Deputy Commander Han, can you please allow me to go into battle?"
"Uncle Situ, please." Han Qiu Ming nodded with a smile and stretched out his hand to say goodbye. The person who came was the commander of the Xuanwu Camp and a member of the Situ family. The girl didn't understand what he was going to do, but she wanted to say a few words to the enemy.
It doesn't hurt. Han Qiuming is a bit self-conscious and aloof towards his peers, but he still maintains due respect in front of his elders.
In full view of everyone, the middle-aged uncle risked being sniped by Mu Xiaoya and walked majestically to the front of the city: "Where is the deputy commander of Yunziying, Situ Xiahui!"
"Xia Hui...?" Zhou Yun on the city wall looked to the side in confusion. Why did the other party call for Situ Xia Hui by name? He should be the coach of Yunzi Camp. Could it be that the old guy wants to bully the girl?
Xu Qian patted the girl next to her and said calmly: "Xunxiang, please tell Xia Hui to come up and take a look."
Situ Xiahui was not a military general, so she stayed in the stronghold and commanded the Jackal Army. As for why Xunxiang stood on the top of the city, it was because she had to wait for Xu Qian's orders and be ready to send secret signals to the chariot army lurking in the moat.
.
"Dad?" As Situ Xia Hui lost his voice in surprise, Zhou Yun and others suddenly realized that the middle-aged uncle of Xuanwu Camp was actually the girl's father. It was really surprising news.
Under the protection of Zhou Yun, Situ Xiahui hurriedly climbed to the observation deck of the city wall. The girl quietly looked at her father under the city, with mixed feelings in her inner world. Because her father appeared as the Xuanwu general, he was obviously fighting for the honor of the family. From another perspective,
It is possible that her father came to stop her on orders from her family. Situ Xiahui knew very well that once she was killed in battle, she would be delusional about being promoted to the hero level.
"Dad...why are you..." Situ Xiahui paused in the middle of his words. The girl originally wanted to ask her father, since she was only one step away from getting rid of the family marriage, why did he stop her. However, thinking about it carefully,
My father must have been unable to bear the pressure from his family, so he came here out of desperation.
"Dad, do you want to persuade me to return to the family?" A tear fell from her cheek, and Situ Xiahui felt her heart ached. The girl never thought that the person who finally stopped her was her father who had been silently supporting her.
"Xiao Hui, you are suffering. There is no use for a father. I can only watch my daughter being wronged but can do nothing. I am indeed a disqualified father." Situ Xuan stood lonely by the pool, looking up at the girl in the city, his eyes
Full of shame and helplessness.
"Stop talking, I will go back with you after the assessment." Situ Xiahui finally believed that what Tang Mulei said was true and supported his father all the way. He really fell in love with the family. Not only did he freeze his bank account, but he also personally came forward.
Stop her.
Situ Xuan looked at his daughter's hesitant expression, and couldn't help but feel sad: "No, Xiaohui heard from dad that your father and I are living a useless life, and I can't fight for more happiness for you. Every time I hear the family elders make irresponsible remarks, I can only
I can remain silent. But please believe me, Dad, as long as those old guys talk about your marriage, I will never give in! My father is not such a bastard that he even betrayed his daughter!"
"Dad, you..." Situ Xiahui should have been very happy when she heard her father's resolute decision, but for some reason, instead of feeling any joy in her heart, she felt a touch of melancholy. Her father must have made such a declaration in front of everyone.
Very aware...
Situ Xuan took a deep breath, as if trying to calm down his mood, and then showed a happy smile: "I am not here to persuade you to return to the family. I am here to say goodbye to you..."
"Farewell?" Situ Xiahui kept trying to figure out what her father wanted to express, but she also vaguely sensed something was wrong. Through those deep eyes, she could feel the loneliness in her father's heart. What was the reason for that dim sadness?
However, just when Xia Hui was deeply worried, Situ Xuan raised his sharp sword and slashed a crack in the land facing the girl: "Situ Xia Hui, from now on, you and I will sever the relationship between father and daughter! We will not let each other go.
We owe each other! No contact with each other!"
"What's going on?" Situ Xiahui was shocked. Her father's words immediately made her confused.
"That's it." Situ Xuan shook his head vicissitudes of life, and then said with a calm smile: "Now that you are on your own, you no longer have anything to do with the Situ family, and no one will force you to learn any bullshit family etiquette. This is
The thing that Dad is most proud of in his life is also the last thing that Dad will do for you."
Situ Xuan has always paid close attention to Situ Xiahui's developments. When he heard that his daughter had become the deputy commander of Yunziying and knew that she could complete the tasks assigned by the family, he was so happy that he could not sleep. However, the family rashly ordered him to participate in the practical assessment.
Demand all-out efforts to defeat the rebels.
Situ Xuan knew in his heart that once Yunziying was defeated, all his daughter's efforts would be in vain. How could a father personally destroy his daughter's lifelong happiness? So he decisively refused this mission. However, the family did not suffer because of Situ Xuan's refusal.
He changed his mind and instead put forward a condition, saying that as long as he fought against Yunziying with all his strength, he would agree with Situ Xiahui to sever ties with the Situ family. Otherwise, even if the girl successfully completed the task and reached 1,500 points, she would not be able to escape the control of the family...
"No... my points have reached four digits. As long as I persist, I will be able to complete the family mission..."
