The plan was indeed developing according to the direction planned by Long Chenyi. In the next month, the rain continued. Every time it rained heavily, the imperial army poured the debris flow into the river of Hongcheng, letting the heavy rain wash the debris flow into the river.
.
As a result, the river is full of mudslides and the water is full of pollution. Not only for drinking, but also for washing hands, the hands are full of sediment.
In addition, the imperial army, like hundreds of thousands of tigers, has been attacking Hongcheng for several months. The gates of Hongcheng can no longer be defended. If it were not for the strength of Liancheng, Hongcheng would have been lost long ago.
At the same time, Liancheng was also seriously injured. If he wanted to resist the dynasty's hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers, he could only wait for the dynasty to send troops to support him. Unexpectedly, the water sources needed by the soldiers were cut off.
Even if they want to wait for the army to come to support, they can't wait for the army to come. At present, the morale of Lianyun's army is weakening and the morale of the army is unstable. Even though there is food, there is no water to cook, and the soldiers' spirits are not as good as before.
"Your Highness, this river has been filled with mud and rocks! It is impossible to remove the mud and rocks within a short period of time. We will send people to look for water sources elsewhere, but there is no search for water in this hundred miles radius except this river.
to other water sources”
Ouyang Kun looked at Liancheng standing by the river, frowned, and said in a deep voice: "Now, our soldiers are all severely weakened. If this continues, our Hongcheng city will not be attacked and retreated by the imperial army, and the water source will be cut off.
Hongcheng was destroyed without attacking!"
Liancheng stared at the river full of mud without saying a word. After a long time, he looked up at the blue sky, frowned and whispered: "Hongcheng, are you really going to lose it in the hands of this prince?"
"Your Highness, retreat now, only to advance in the future. Our army will withdraw from the next city gate. When the emperor sends reinforcements, we will still have enough strength to fight against the imperial army!"
Ouyang Kun naturally does not want to withdraw from Hongcheng, but now, it is not the time for the two armies to fight head-on. If they do not retreat, all the soldiers will be trapped in Hongcheng, and the final result will be the destruction of the entire army.
Liancheng withdrew his gaze, glanced at Ouyang Kun, turned away from the river, and walked up to the city tower. Standing on the city tower and looking into the distance, he saw a dark area, all of which were the imperial army, camped a few miles away from the city tower, ready to attack at any time.
Hongcheng.
"Liancheng——" A worried voice came from behind. Liancheng looked back and saw Mu Wanting going up to the tower with a worried face. He walked forward and said, "Why are you here?"
"I heard from General Ouyang that there is no water source within a hundred miles!" Mu Wanting glanced at Liancheng worriedly, walked to the city tower and looked at the imperial army in the distance, frowning and said: "The imperial army has already reached the border, now.
, there are only two ways to go!”
"Ting'er, even if you fight to the death with the imperial army, I will not agree to it. You go back to the imperial army and do things that make your conscience uneasy." Liancheng walked up behind Mu Wanting, put his arm around her shoulders, and comforted her.
: "You don't need to worry about war!"
He would not let Mu Wanting go into danger. Once she returned to the imperial army and made a big mistake, even if she was Mu Tianxue's sister, she would not be able to escape death.
"Liancheng, in the past few months of fighting, the two armies have suffered countless casualties. In this battle, why not just stop the war, as long as-" Mu Wanting turned sideways and looked at Liancheng and said solemnly: "As long as the two armies stop fighting, the two countries can still be like each other.
We are still the country of friendship as before!"
"Silly girl, the national war is not as simple as you think." Liancheng looked at the army in the distance and said: "Now, even if our army ceases the war and retreats from Hongcheng, the imperial army will never cease fighting. Previously, I, Lianyun,
The army is attacking the Imperial Dynasty, and now, the Imperial Dynasty’s army will definitely attack our country, Lianyun!"
Since his father decided to let him lead the troops to attack the dynasty, he would not stop the war. Otherwise, his father would not secretly train his army to take down the dynasty.
He has been guarding Hongcheng for nearly two months, but it has not been breached by the imperial army. If it had been anyone else, Long Chen would have breached Hongcheng long ago, so how could he have defended it until now.
While the two were talking, they saw the mighty imperial army in the distance riding towards Hongcheng on war horses. The formation was majestic and the momentum was soaring to the sky.
The war drums were beaten by the city guards at the foot of the city. Ouyang Kun led a large army and rushed out of the city tower. A group of archers immediately boarded the city tower, ready to attack.
"Ting'er, come down from the city tower quickly. Don't leave the inn until the war is over!" Seeing the army approaching Hongcheng, Liancheng warned Mu Wanting, held the Golden Crow Sword and flew out from the city tower.
Mu Wanting was horrified. She looked at the two armies that were already fighting each other below the city tower. She felt worried in her heart. She did not leave the city tower and turned back to the inn.
The shouts of killing below the city tower were deafening, and the two armies were fighting fiercely. It was a clear day, the sun was shining brightly, and the cold light was scorching. Soldiers kept falling in a pool of blood, including the Lianyun Army and the Imperial Army. Mu Wanting was horrified by this scene.
At the same time, I was also extremely shocked.
In the past few months, this was the first time she saw a fierce scene of fighting between two armies. Just as she was shocked, the sound of bows and arrows sounded in her ears.
I saw the archers on the city tower firing their bows and arrows, batch after batch, thousands of bows and arrows, like a rain of arrows from the sky, shooting towards the imperial army from the city tower.
Suddenly, countless Imperial troops were killed by the arrows, but the Imperial army did not retreat at all. Instead, they attacked the city gate more ferociously. It was a completely lifeless attack.
The scene of flesh and blood flying across broken walls and ruins, with corpses strewn across the fields, was as bloody as a Shura field. She saw it in front of her eyes and was frightened in her heart. Her face was already frighteningly pale.
She looked at Liancheng's bloody figure, her heart in her throat, and her hands subconsciously touched her belly, praying that Liancheng could come back unscathed.
At this time, two war horses came galloping in the distance, and a beam of white light suddenly appeared, shooting from a distance. The sky was filled with arrows and was instantly surrounded by the white light. The next second, the sharp arrows shot out
The arrow actually reflected towards the archer on the tower.
"Prince Princess, be careful!" Seeing the arrows shot reflected back, many archers were killed. Seeing the sharp arrows shooting at Mu Wanting, the archer commander immediately pulled Mu Wanting and squatted down, "It's too dangerous here.
Please also ask the Crown Princess to retreat from the tower immediately!"
After saying this, the commander picked up his bow and put a few arrows on it, stood up and shot towards the bottom of the city tower. Mu Wanting was still frightened. She was seeing Sister Xue and the Emperor running towards them on horseback. Why, in the blink of an eye, a white light appeared and shot those people away.
Does the arrow reflect back?
Mu Tianxue and Long Chen also rode a carriage and stayed a hundred meters away from the two armies fighting each other. Seeing arrows flying from the tower, Mu Tianxue gathered spiritual power in his palms and swung at the arrows, reflecting the dense arrows.
To the archers on the tower.
Long Chen also waved his palm, and the Scarlet Sky Sword flew out of the scabbard, directly stabbing Liancheng who was fighting the enemy bravely. At the same time, his figure also flew towards Liancheng quickly with the Scarlet Sky Sword.
