() An army of 230,000 people set out in the afternoon, with flags rolling on the road like dense clouds. Twenty thousand wolf cavalry cleared the way, and huge spirit wolves ran and trampled the ground, even the earth trembled. Nearly 20,000 spirit wolves,
The violent energy emanating from them gathers together, and even the sky will change color.
After the Fiery Sun Cavalry Regiment, there are the Pink Skull Regiment led by the Flower Demon, the Hurricane Regiment led by Ma Wuji, the Hundred Flowers Regiment led by Asma, and finally the Black Flame Regiment led by Han Mo.
.Finally, there is the food transport team led by Yin Fengduo. There are also a large number of people from the Xuanqing Bureau in this team.
The distance from Baihua City to Tiangou City is about three hundred miles. Even if the army marches a hundred miles a day, it will take three days. If they are all wolf cavalry, they can arrive in one day, but the team
There were also a large number of infantry and grain-carrying carriages, and the speed could not be increased at all.
However, Luo Manduo is not in a hurry. Rather than siege the city, he prefers the large army assembled by Tiangou City to fight him on the plain with more people. Then his beheading tactic can work again. But if the enemy
Fang's general was hiding and commanding secretly. He wanted to kill but couldn't find anyone, which would be more troublesome. With the team of 230,000 people in front of him, it was very hard for him.
The team that had just been assembled included veterans who had left the city in Japan, and soldiers who had followed him from the beginning. One of these loyal veterans died one by one. He did not want to suffer such a loss at all. What is the most important thing in conquering the world?
Is it how big or small the territory you occupy is? No, it’s how many brothers follow you. He knows the truth behind this.
Three days are enough for the city lord of Tiangou City and the general sent by the imperial court to prepare for the battle. These three days are just enough to refine the Sun-Chasing Spear and Pangu Shield during the march and use them.
He became a divine weapon.
Just as Luo Manduo's extremely gorgeous carriage was advancing towards Tiangou City with the army, Tiangou City was also preparing for the battle. While Luo Manduo's army was still gathering, Tiangou City's
The scouts had already used carrier pigeons to send information about Luo Manduo's army's marching route, expected arrival time, etc. to Tiangou City in advance. The related actions began to proceed quickly.
The lord of Tiangou City is surnamed Ding and named Tiangui. He is in his early fifties and is a hard-line figure with a military background. He himself also has considerable strength and is a black warrior in the divine weapon realm in the martial soul stage. This man
He was so cruel and violent that in Tiangou City, the people privately did not call him the City Lord, but gave him a nickname - Tiangui City Lord.
It was precisely because of his good strength and violent and belligerent personality that he had no intention of joining Luo Manduo's camp from the beginning. His ideas were also different from other city lords.
When Luo Manduo's army pressed on, the city lord was thinking about how to save his life and protect his family and property, but what he was thinking about was to defeat Luo Manduo, claim credit from the court, become a bigger official, and gain greater benefits.
When Luo Manduo first occupied Linhai City, he actually didn't have much confidence in his heart. He had a serious lack of confidence. But now, the imperial court sent a general and invited the Night Demon Bandit at a sky-high price and the benefits of being crowned king.
The strength of the cuckold mercenary group and the cuckold mercenary group has greatly increased, and his confidence has also increased dramatically. He feels extremely good.
On the wall of Tiangou City, standing side by side with Ding Tiangui, looking up to the east was a general sent by the imperial court. His name was Bao Wenchong. This Bao Wenchong looked to be only about forty years old, but his actual age was already seven.
Ten years old. Black Warrior's appearance is slightly younger than his actual age.
This is especially true for high-level Black Warriors. This Bao Wenchong is a Black Warrior who is in the Divine Infant Realm in the Mysterious Spirit Stage. In the Flame Realm, his reputation and status are second only to the undefeated God of War, Yan Zhenshan. This
Once, Li Xuan sent him here, which was enough to show that the court attached great importance to the rebellion in the east.
Of course, Yan Zhenshan definitely cannot be sent. The leader of the rebellion is Yan Zhenshan's nephew Li Le. If he doesn't help Li Le and join the rebellion, he will be the ancestors of the Yan Kingdom's royal family. Let alone
He said that he expected him to kill his nephew out of righteousness.
"Master Ding, there are now half a million troops gathered in Tiangou City. In the mountains and forests on the left, there is an army of bandits headed by the Night Demon Legion. In the mountains and forests on the right, there are mercenaries headed by the Cuckold Mercenary Group.
Coalition forces. We just need to wait for Luo Manduo's men to walk into this trap, and then we can
This solves the problem once and for all." Bao Wenchong said with great pride. He likes to fight, and he even likes to use his brains during the battle, set up formations, set up traps, etc. In the Yanjie, he also has a "wise and brave general"
"The nickname. Every time he heard it, he thought the other person was telling the truth rather than complimenting him.
Sometimes people are narcissistic to a certain extent, which is actually a disease.
"Master Bao is really a 'wise and brave general'. If it were me, I wouldn't be able to think of such a pincer-shaped formation to annihilate the enemy." Ding Tiangui patted Bao Wenchong's ass, "Mr. Bao, our troops,
Plus those who came to help
The combined force of bandits and mercenaries, our strength is close to one million, and we have natural danger to back us, and there is sufficient food and grass in the city. Regarding this battle, I don't see Luo Manduo having any hope of survival, haha!
"
"Master Ding, don't underestimate the enemy. Underestimating the enemy is a taboo for military strategists." Bao Wenchong was obviously very helpful in his heart, but what he said was another story.
"Haha, yes, you have to teach me a lesson." Bao Wenchong laughed twice, secretly greeting Bao Wenchong's sister.
That's it, the two old men on the city wall were talking meaningless words, full of hope for the future. It gave people the feeling that they could talk like this all day long without getting tired.
The afterglow of the setting sun fell on the two old men, on the city wall made of huge stones, and the dangerous peaks on both sides set it off, which was quite poetic.
Tiangou City's reputation as the first pass in the East is absolutely true. Its city wall is actually only a section of 500 meters long. On both sides are dangerous peaks and unreachable cliffs. And on those cliffs, peaks and slopes
Above, there are city guards from Tiangou City.
Stop. They are holding crossbows on dangerous peaks and cliffs, and one man can block the way. What's more, there are many stones and fire oil cans placed on the outposts and arrow towers dug by craftsmen.
Even ordinary black warriors can't attack it.
Then, the only way to attack Tiangou City is through the canyon pass opposite the city gate. But if you think so, you are totally wrong. In front of the city gate of Tiangou City, there is a natural path about ten feet wide.
The cracks in the ground are so deep that there is usually only a rope bridge that can be walked on. And the large
It is really impossible for the army to pass through a ropeway. Not to mention the long-range attacks such as arrows and crossbows on the city wall. At the critical moment, as long as someone stands on the spiritual end of the ropeway and cuts the rope with a knife, the ropeway will be broken.
If it falls, I don’t know how many people will fall into the cracks in the ground and die.
This trench is the so-called gutter. This is where the name of Gutter City comes from.
The hillside on both sides that Bao Wenchong mentioned was in the two-wing mountain forest a little outside the city. The gutter in front of the city gate of Tiangou City also isolated that mountain forest. Therefore, the imperial court spent a lot of money and cracked the soil.
The benefits of becoming a king: hired bandits and mercenaries
The allied forces are the first line of defense for Tiangou City, while the gutter in front of the city and the dangerous peaks and cliffs on both sides that cannot be climbed are the second line of defense for Tiangou City. If Luo Manduo wants to attack Tiangou City, both of these lines of defense must
It seems difficult to both defeat and destroy.
While they were talking, a group of people came over.
The first two, one is two meters tall, with an exaggerated build, and all the muscles on his body are like discus. He also has a rugged appearance, thick eyebrows, big eyes, and a full beard.
.this
Although the word "bandit" is not engraved on the big man's face, anyone with a discerning eye can tell at a glance that this guy is a born bandit, with the charm and look of a bandit. He is the "butcher" of the Night Demon Bandit Group.
Captain Kunsha.
The other one is a man with a completely different style from Kunsha, or he is not a man at all. He is wearing a long white dress that only women wear, and his black hair is tied into a single braid, and there are actually
The red handkerchief is tied with a beautiful bow. What is beautiful is not only his hair and the bow on his hair, but also his face.
Pang, he has a beautiful oval face, big eyes, thin and curved eyebrows, a straight and small nose bridge, and a small cherry mouth smeared with red lipstick... If his chest could also bulge out.
, if anyone dares to say that he is a man, a man will definitely come up to him and chase him with a knife! This man is Yaonan, the leader of the cuckold mercenary group.
On the head of the demon man, he really wears a small green hat, with an eagle feather brushed on the front edge of the hat. On the other side, there is a sword and a heraldic shield embroidered on it. The sword and the shield
Cross. This pattern is the emblem of the Cuckold Mercenary Group. However, such a cuckold is not a hat that the mercenaries of the Cuckold Mercenary Group must wear, because only the demon man is qualified in the Cuckold Mercenary Group.
Cuckold.
Kunsha and Yaonan appeared at the same time, and both of them were accompanied by their own confidant guards. Kunsha's guards were all rugged black armored warriors, and Yaonan was led by the famous "Four Knights of Veil Skirts"
".Those are four blond women from the western region of Xuanfa Continent. Each of them is tall and hot, with a unique exotic atmosphere. Big women like them can stimulate men's strong conquests, and with the Xuanfa Continent's
Women have a different taste.
Today, the four knights in gauze skirts did not wear black armor. They were all wearing white gauze skirts. Sure enough, they were the four knights in gauze skirts. They followed behind the demon man and stared at the two old men on the gutter city with vigilance.
, because they found that the two old men on the city wall were staring greedily at
Look at their busty breasts. Their gauze skirts are specially made and look very thin and transparent, but they are actually made of sky silk from the mist-shrouded forest and are not visible at all. Such gauze skirts are ordinary.
Arrows and crossbows cannot be penetrated at all. They are beautiful and practical. They like them best.
"Two adults, we are already in position." Kunsha said in a rough voice. The sound waves rolled and the rope bridge above the gutter suddenly swayed.
"Very good, thank you for your service, two regiment commanders. The imperial court will remember your merits, and His Majesty the Sage Emperor will definitely reward you." Bowen said loudly, with a smile on his face.
"Master Bao, let's be realistic. We brought our brothers to help in the battle. The court promised that once Luo Manduo is killed, one of us will be allowed out of the city, the other will be granted Linhai City, and we will also be made a prince, but these are all lies.
"Brothers, we haven't received military pay for a long time. Let's borrow some. Can we borrow some?" The demon man's voice was high-pitched and thin, full of girly tone.
On the city wall, Bao Wenchong and Ding Tiangui were stunned on the spot. Sure enough, they were desperate bandits and profit-seeking mercenaries. They came to borrow money before the battle even started!
"Sir, do you want to borrow it? If not, I might as well go back and tell my brothers not to count on it," said the demon man.
"This..." Ding Tiangui's expression turned pale.
Bowen Chong immediately glared at him.
"Borrow!" Bowen shouted in pain.
"Hehe, Brother Kun, let's go into the city and talk to them. Now that we're done, how about I invite Brother Kun to the Liuhe Restaurant in the city? I heard that the braised fish there is pretty good, so I'll treat him to a couple of drinks."
The enchanting man said in a disgusting voice, his charming eyes blinking, looking like a slut acting coquettishly.
Kunsha looked at him, and the thing under his crotch shrank immediately.
