Chapter 58 The undercurrent is surging, and the siege begins!
After a moment, Xiang Wentian said calmly: "You are sent by the Wu government to support Zhenwucheng. On behalf of the soldiers and civilians in the city, I welcome your arrival."
"However, your cultivation level is not high. My advice to you is to take up the position of commander, assist others, and jointly be responsible for the defense of the city wall."
"Someone will explain this to you in a moment. My father is busy with military affairs, so I won't accompany you."
Xiao Han's expression remained unchanged: "Follow the order!"
Although Xiang Wentian did not interfere with Xiang Pingting's affairs, anyone could see that Xiang Wentian was dissatisfied with him at such a cold stand.
Xiao Han did not refuse.
Xiang Wentian only made such a painless arrangement for himself, which was far beyond Xiao Han's expectation.
"Commander Xiao, I am Wang Biao, the commander of thousands of troops. Please follow me."
Soon, someone brought Xiao Han to the city wall.
From the city wall, you can see from a distance that there are a large number of Zhou soldiers encamped and patrolling back and forth.
Xiao Han suddenly asked: "How long has it been since Dazhou sent so many people to gather around Zhenwucheng? What about the other situations?"
Wang Biao thought for a moment and said: "According to the report of our spies, 200,000 troops were dispatched this time during the Great Zhou Dynasty. They started stationed there seven days ago."
"And they have been stationed for the past few days. They have neither sent troops to attack Zhenwucheng nor made any other movements. They just patrolled around and had no intention of using troops."
"Order the old general and us to carefully patrol all parts of Zhenwucheng. Every possible loophole must be made up immediately."
"Currently, there is sufficient food and grass in the city, and Old General Xiang is in charge. Even if Zhou Dynasty has strong troops and horses, we are not afraid!"
Xiao Han nodded slightly: "How many troops are there in the city and how many people are there?"
Wang Biao knew Xiao Han's origins very well, and he did not hide such confidential information: "He is able to use his troops freely with the veteran general. Before suppressing Wucheng, he basically maintained only 10,000 troops."
"But in the past month, we have mobilized from all parties and increased it to 30,000."
"The number of people in the city has always been around one million, and there hasn't been much change."
After listening to Wang Biao's words, Xiao Han fell into deep thought.
Since this trip is for support, both the Qin court and the Wu Mansion believe that there may be war in Zhenwucheng, but there will never be any major problems.
The reason for going to other cities is the same as that for martial arts disciples.
Regarding this experience, Xiao Han really didn't value it more because he could make up for it a little and make meritorious deeds.
If General Xiang could securely hold Zhenwucheng, the people in the city would naturally not need to evacuate.
But now, Xiao Han was on the city wall and saw the long dragon-like Dazhou military camp, and he vaguely felt that things would definitely not be that simple.
The old general has been fighting for his whole life. Before he can clearly see the opponent's true intention, he will definitely defend to the death.
At the moment, the best strategy is to remain unchanged in the face of change.
Along the city wall, Xiao Han patrolled around and saw that Xiang Wentian's various arrangements were prepared both overt and covert, and he was indeed very cautious.
Once there is any movement in Dazhou, you can respond quickly.
Thirty thousand defenders and two hundred thousand siege troops would not be a problem for an experienced general like Xiang Wentian.
In the next few days, Xiao Han inspected the city wall step by step.
In his spare time, he absorbs spiritual jade and waits for changes in the battle situation.
"There's something going on over there in Dazhou!"
On this day, there were no clouds in the sky, and there were a large number of people and horses in the Zhou military camp, rushing toward Zhenwucheng in a mighty manner.
Immediately afterwards, several sentry posts were set up on the city wall to report.
"Immediately report to the old general that Zhou Dynasty has begun to attack the city!"
Xiao Han said in a deep voice: "Others, follow me to guard the city wall and kill all invading enemies!"
The soldiers of the Zhou Dynasty came fiercely. The first wave of attacks was extremely brave and fearless. They set up ladders and attacked crazily.
In this kind of battlefield fighting, long swords, spears and spears are mostly used. Swords are rarely used unless necessary.
However, Xiao Han still uses Shen Tianjian.
This sword is not an ordinary sword. With Xiao Han's strength, if he wants to kill the soldiers rushing up the city wall, no one can stop him!
"kill!"
Xiao Han used the Spiritual Smoke Step to shuttle all over the city wall, achieving remarkable results.
The soldiers who were originally quite prejudiced against Xiao Han were filled with admiration when they saw Xiao Han's performance.
A young man who can fight the enemy so bravely is enough to impress them!
Not far away, a golden-armored general in the Zhou army pointed at Xiao Han on the city wall and shouted angrily: "Whoever can chop off that man's head will be granted the title of Marquis of Ten Thousand Households and will be rewarded with one hundred thousand gold!"
Then, a man with a pale face and a feminine breath smiled and said: "I'll kill him!"
Quickly rushing up the ladder, this person went straight to Xiao Han.
"Boy, remember not to be a Qin citizen in your next life!"
This person has cultivated to the eighth level of the spiritual sea realm, and his methods are ruthless. He has a poison-quenching dagger hidden in his sleeve.
Wherever they passed, the soldiers guarding the city had their throats cut with a knife!
"I think it's you who is dead!"
Xiao Han's eyes were furious, and he used the Shaking Light Sword Technique and the Kaiyang Sword Technique instantly to force the opponent back.
Then, Yu Heng's sword technique was instantly integrated with 30% of the star sword intent, and he immediately slashed at this person!
"I underestimated you!"
The man's expression suddenly changed. He sensed the terrifying sword intent in Xiao Han's sword technique and quickly retreated.
His cultivation level is indeed much higher than Xiao Han.
However, his methods have always been insidious and vicious, and he strikes out unexpectedly. Faced with the powerful Star Sword Intent, he feels quite helpless.
Even though he felt a little regretful at this moment and rushed to the city wall rashly, he could only temporarily repel Xiao Han and save his life.
Boo hoo hoo!!!
A silver needle as thin as an ox hair shot straight towards Xiao Han.
This person hoped to attack Xiao Han himself, forcing Xiao Han to temporarily resist.
However, Xiao Han did not do what he thought. Instead, he moved closer to this person with the spirit smoke step.
"cut!"
No matter what, Xiao Han's sword was extremely decisive and penetrated this man's head!
Facing the silver needle that was about to land on his chest, he directly used the Mountain Moving Pose to forcefully suppress it.
To kill his opponent and eliminate his own danger, Xiao Han did this set of actions as smoothly as clouds and water.
Bai Shengqian happened to fall into the eyes of Bai Shengqian who came to help, and he couldn't help shouting: "What a trick!"
Xiao Han silently put away the man's storage ring, glanced at Bai Shengqian lightly, turned around and left.
Bai Shengqian chuckled: "This Xiao Han has quite a bad temper!"
"However, he is indeed very strong!"
After receiving a hundred military sticks and a little self-cultivation, he recovered as before.
When he learned that the Zhou army had begun to attack the city, Bai Shengqian immediately received the order and came to defend the city. Only then did he see Xiao Han killing the effeminate man.
With the help of this first wave of offensive, the Zhou army also began to rush into the city gate, using such methods that cracks suddenly appeared in the gate of Zhenwucheng!
"No, I have to go down and stop them!"
Seeing this, Bai Shengqian ignored everyone's dissuasion, gritted his teeth, jumped off the city wall, and killed the Zhou soldiers who rushed towards the city gate.
But with this move, he fell into the trap of the other party!
