The sky turned white. After a whole night's rest, the 50,000-strong army of Tianye Kingdom were all in high spirits. They knew that they had 50,000 troops, so they were all arrogant. It seemed that they had determined that today's battle would be a very special one.
They, Tianye, cannot win.
"See, Your Majesty, the army is ready to attack at any time!"
"Okay, pass the order and advance to Hongshan City!"
The so-called "the right time, right place and favorable people" although the terrain does not benefit them at all, but now Hongshan City has few soldiers and no generals, and our army is very powerful. If we don't take Hongshan City now, how long will it take?
Fifty thousand troops marched towards Hongshan City. There were no generals in Hongshan City at this time, but when He Lianjue left, he handed the place over to He Long. Although he was only Helianjue's deputy general, he had been following General Yuwentai and
He Lianjue went to the battlefield. He had been familiar with military books since he was a child and had some combat experience. When faced with Tianye's 50,000-strong army pressing down on the border, he did not panic at all. He divided the 20,000-strong army in the city and closed the city gate tightly.
Never leave the city to fight!
"Report - Tianye's 50,000-strong army is approaching us!" The soldier reported the situation to the general in a timely manner.
He Long stood up and rushed up to the city tower immediately. Xing Aotian had been entrenched here for two days. He had not attacked before, probably because he wanted to wait for Dongou's army to come. However, he attacked in advance now. It seemed that he wanted to capture the city alone.
Go to Hongshan City.
"Is everything ready?" He Long commanded from the tower.
"General, everything is ready. Two thousand archers are waiting for the general's orders at any time. Gunpowder and boulders have been moved onto the tower. The city gate has been reinforced with three black gold bolts. No matter how hard they hit it, they will not be able to destroy the city.
The door broke open." Two days ago, they had already prepared for the battle.
The opponent has 50,000 troops. If they fight head-on, they will definitely lose to Tianye's army. Now they only need to defend Hongshan City and wait for reinforcements to arrive!
"Okay, we only need to hold on for a few days. The reinforcements will arrive in a few days. At that time, we can rush out of the city to fight with them and compete!" He Long stared at the people who were getting closer and closer to the city.
Looking at the team, it was completely dark.
Xing Aotian sat on the chariot and looked across the moat towards the city wall. He saw only a dozen soldiers standing guard on the wall. I wonder what kind of medicine they were selling in their gourds?
The stalemate lasted for a stick of incense. The sun was shining brightly today. Although it was not summer yet, the weather was getting hotter and hotter. When Tianye's army stood under the scorching sun for a stick of incense, everyone was sweating profusely.
It also began to gradually fade away.
In fact, He Long just wants to test their patience. If the enemy can't move, I won't move! On the ten-foot-high tower of Hongshan City, an ambush has already been laid. Two thousand archers have been waiting for orders. As long as Tianye starts to attack, the tower will be ambushed.
Those red cannons will also deliver fatal blows to the enemy.
Xing Aotian watched the soldiers begin to disperse. It seemed that he could not wait any longer. He pulled out the sword from his waist and shouted: "Charge——"
The attack was finally about to begin. The army first stretched wooden planks to build a bridge and crossed the moat one after another. He Long stepped forward and began to command his soldiers on the tower, asking the archers to shoot the enemy troops on the tower.
Yi Canao also ### captured Xing Aotian's chariot and captured the king first. As soon as Xing Aotian died, Tianye's army would immediately retreat.
Xing Aotian saw He Long on the city tower and saw him commanding the soldiers to light the torches, so he knew what he wanted to do. It was not that the Tianye Kingdom did not have the red cannons, but from Tianye to Hongshan City, there were mountain roads everywhere.
The cannon is too heavy to pass through those steep mountain roads. This is the brilliance of the Loulan Kingdom.
He immediately jumped off the chariot and ordered the soldiers to separate and not gather together. If the red cannon was fired, there would be many casualties.
"Let go -" He Long commanded the soldiers on the tower. The archers fired arrows in unison, and the red cannon also fired at the enemy with a "boom" sound.
Although there are many of them, they can't hold on. What can they do?
There is sufficient food and grass in the city. If there is a protracted war, Loulan Kingdom does not need to be afraid, because most of the food fields in Hongshan City are within the city. If there is not enough, you can always ask for help from the capital.
A cannon shot from the city tower caused many casualties in the Tianye Kingdom. Xing Aotian's chariot was blown to pieces. Two thousand archers on the city tower kept shooting at the enemy alternately, like a rain of swords.
, blocking the enemy's attack.
"You bastards, charge forward!" Xing Aotian was protected by the soldiers with shields. Seeing his soldiers retreating one by one, Xing Aotian roared angrily.
The war drums sounded, and both sides faced off desperately. Many soldiers successfully crossed the moat. The red cannons continued to project gunpowder at the enemy, causing Tianye's army to suffer heavy casualties.
The deafening sound of fighting rang out in front of the city tower, and the sound of cannons was heard clearly by the people in the city.
The enemy did not show weakness. Several sling chariots were throwing flints at the city wall, killing many archers on the city wall.
The enemy troops who desperately rushed to the city wall began to set up ladders and climbed up the city wall one by one. However, He Long already had a countermeasure. He ordered people to pour kerosene down the ladder, lit a fire, and
The ladder was burned, and while it was burning, stones were thrown down to prevent the enemy from climbing up.
A few hours passed, and the corpses of Tianye soldiers were everywhere under the city wall. Xing Aotian saw that there were heavy casualties. If the confrontation continued like this, he would definitely be the one to suffer, so he had no choice but to beat the drum and withdraw his troops!
Tianye Kingdom only brought 30,000 troops to attack the city, but after the confrontation and fighting in the morning, nearly 6,000 people were killed and injured. Xing Aotian was holding back a sigh of resentment in his heart and could only wait until the Dongou Kingdom's army arrived.
Later, discuss countermeasures.
"General, our army's casualties are less than 200." They closed the city and did not leave. The number of casualties were caused by the enemy's flint and sword rain.
"Well, bury those brothers who died properly." Life and death on the battlefield are inevitable, and this is something he cannot avoid.
"yes."
There were relatively few casualties in this battle with Loulan Kingdom, but the enemy's strength was weakened. I believe they won't attack again in a short period of time, so they can delay waiting for reinforcements.
Wuji Mountain
He Lianqi was ordered to stay and guard the queen's body. Cen Xue's first seven days had passed, Wuji Mountain was calm, and there was no panic due to the enemy's pressure.
At night, everything was as usual. Before going to bed every night, Mu Yue would come to the forbidden area to see Cen Xue for peace of mind. She still slept peacefully tonight.
"Elder Muyue, Elder Muyue..." After falling asleep, Muyue seemed to hear Cen Xue's voice in a daze. Was she dreaming?
"Elder Muyue, I am Cen Xue..." A familiar voice came clearly to my ears. This was indeed Cen Xue.
He opened his eyes suddenly and looked for Cen Xue's figure in the room. He lit the candlestick and scanned every corner of the room.
"Cen Xue, where are you?" Mu Yue stood there, looking for her everywhere.
"Elder Muyue, my body is dead, so you can't see my soul. I have something to ask you for when I come here this time. Please help me and let me return to Zhizhi again.
Come back to your child, okay?" Cen Xue's sad voice sounded in the room, as if floating in every corner of the room.
These words made Mu Yue very embarrassed. She sat down helplessly and sighed: "Girl, I also want to help you, but there is no way to bring the dead back to life at all?"
"This is not absolute. Have you forgotten what I said to you before? I am a descendant of Nuwa, and the essence and blood in my body are endless. However, this still requires the help of human books. Only human beings
Only the book can sense the essence and blood of Nuwa in my body and give me new life!" The misty voice reached Mu Yue's ears. Is this really feasible?
Mu Yue was a little hesitant, but the fact that Cen Xue is a descendant of Nuwa is absolutely true, and there is indeed a human book sealed at the bottom of the blood pool. The power of the human book is infinite, and it is not impossible to give Cen Xue a new life.
.
"Girl, then just tell me how I can help you?" Mu Yue thought for a moment, and there was no harm in giving it a try.
"Thank you, Elder Muyue! You only need to put my physical body into the blood pool, but during this period, I still need a physical body to possess me. Otherwise, my soul will not be able to persist after forty-nine days.
I will lose my mind." When Cen Xue said the last words, she was obviously worried.
"this……"
Mu Yue hesitated, where could she find a physical body for her to possess?
"Girl, how do you find this possessed body? Will the person possessed by you be in danger in the future?" Mu Yue is worried about this.
Do you have to sacrifice another person's life?
"I know your worries, don't worry, she will be fine, but her soul will be temporarily sealed by me. After I leave, she will return to normal." Cen Xue's voice drifted into Muyue again.
's ears.
"Who are you looking for? Do you have a suitable candidate?" Mu Yue asked the ethereal voice in the room.
"Phoenix, Phoenix is the most suitable candidate. We know each other. I am possessed in her body, so it is less likely that something will go wrong and arouse other people's suspicions. The most important thing is that these processes must be carried out in the blood pool. She is the leader of the teaching.
The saint girl, the blood pool will not swallow or exclude her." Cen Xue has already thought out all the plans.
Mu Yue nodded and thought about her words in her heart. What Cen Xue said was not unreasonable, but how should she say it to Phoenix?
"I'll leave this matter to you..." The misty voice gradually faded away, as if nothing had happened.
The moonlight shone in from the window, and Mu Yue suddenly sat up from the bed with her eyelids twitching. What happened just now? She seemed to have had a dream, so real.
