"Let them all come in." Looking at the marks on the scout's clothes, it should be news from Jing Yun.
After the scout came in, he anxiously said to me: "Lord City God, Nanshi City God has been lost. Marshal Jingyun was surrounded during his withdrawal. The 300,000-strong army lost 50,000! Now we have defended Chongshi!"
"How many troops are there in Nanshi? Who is the general?" I pondered. Jingyun was actually surrounded and forced to retreat to Chongshi with a loss of soldiers and generals. Then the opponent must have a superior strategy or have twice as many troops as Jingyun.
"Nan City has 600,000 troops! Commander Zhou Xuan and military advisor Ruan Qiushui!" the scout said quickly.
I took a breath of air, why did Zhou Xuan suddenly come here on the spur of the moment? He had previously said that he had stolen tens of thousands of the Great City God's army and went to develop in the southwest. Now he is paired up with the Great City God again. It's really a toss-up!
"Tell me more about it!" I was sitting in the general's seat, and Dai Mei had already gone to summon the generals guarding Tianyi Cave Mansion.
A large group of late zombie kings and late ghost kings came over. Li Junmin, Qiu Bufan, and Wang Changhe also came to discuss the military situation.
The scout briefly explained the recent battle situation.
It turns out that after Zhou Xuan went to the southwest to develop, he attacked cities and plundered territory all the way, and his tens of thousands of troops expanded rapidly. In just one month, he had an army of 200,000. And Yiyang, the great city god of Nan City, recently gave Jing the army.
Yun Meng attacked and lost a lot of cities, including Nancheng. The pressure was huge, and then orders for help were sent to the other three city gods.
Nanshi is a central location, and whoever takes control of it will be able to rule the entire south and control all the surrounding counties and cities. Therefore, Zhou Xuan sent his army to join the crusade against Jingyun.
Yi Yang, a greedy old guy, is not good at combat command at all. Zhou Xuanjiu took over the magpie's nest and became the commander. Ruan Qiushui, as a military advisor, is not weaker than Jing Yun in terms of strategy. Of course, he can win with twice the number of troops.
Jing Yun threw away his helmet and armor and fled back to Chong City.
"Okay, you guys go down and have a good rest first." After I asked the scouts to go down and rest, I started discussing the military situation with a group of generals.
"Return part of Zhao Yu's army. The cities below must be defended, and Nanshi must also be captured." I ordered. Zhou Xuan occupied Nanshi this time. It would be strange to say that it was not premeditated. There must have been instructions from above, otherwise
How could Yi Yang easily let Zhou Xuan's army enter the city and garrison it?
It's just that the situation is very bad now. I don't know how many troops Nanshi has transferred back from the surrounding armies. If there are really 600,000, it will be difficult to fight.
"Great City God, a hundred thousand troops are stationed on the other side of the sea in ten directions... They may not be able to hold it. Xia Houche is a fierce general. Unless Zhao Yu is here, something will happen soon." Dai Mei reminded me.
"Then let's move them all back and leave the city empty." The positions of Dalong County and Shuizhen are very delicate. They are attacked from both sides. The defense line of Shifanghai Sea is also too wide. Since all the troops in the towns below have been looted, they can't hold on.
, then there is no other way to withdraw the troops.
"But the dozen or so towns below are the source of our taxes..." Dai Mei is the Minister of Finance, and her first priority is of course money-related things.
"All the townspeople and shops have moved to Water Town. Our city is too big, stretching for dozens of miles, and is several times larger than Dalong County. It is enough to accommodate them. Those who are willing to come will have their taxes reduced by half within one year." I said flatly.
"Half of the tax for one year is waived?" Dai Mei asked in surprise, but quickly nodded: "Okay, that's it. Lord City God is so generous. If you waive half of the tax, I'm afraid that dozens of surrounding cities will overwhelm you!"
The military expenditure was huge, and the tax reduction and exemption would be too much for most city gods, but it would undoubtedly be a huge benefit to merchants. Dai Mei went to draw up a military order and immediately sent a ghost to summon him.
"Master, the sword formations of the Nanxian Sword Sect have been set up. They are now placed at the three corners of the water town. If the enemy attacks the city, it will be absolutely difficult to break through!" Li Junmin is the acting master of the Nanxian Sword Sect.
"Well, very good. We need to discuss these safety measures with the merchants, and more merchants will be attracted in the future." I am very happy. Now the three cities of Water Town are connected together. The city wall looks like the Great Wall from the outside.
Generally speaking, there are ghost generals and Yin soldiers stationed above, which is no less than the size of Nanshi, and the defensive capabilities have long been beyond the comparison of Nanshi City God.
Speaking of defensive measures, Dai Mei seemed to think of something and said: "Recently, Han Shanshan has also developed a number of large land tanks and anti-siege artillery, which are now waiting to be put into use."
"What's the situation with Commander Wei and Zuo Chen?" I became concerned about the two of them.
"There are now more than 30,000 soldiers stationed there. Together with our Tianyi Cave Mansion and Nanxian Sword Sect, our army totals about 100,000." Dai Mei replied.
I nodded, Zhao Yu had 200,000, Jing Yun had another 250,000, and Tianyi Cave had 100,000, which was enough to shake up the Nanshi City God.
"The Nanxian Sword Sect stayed behind, and the remaining troops were divided into two groups by Zhao Yu and Jing Yun. They all marched to Chong City, gathered together, and captured Nan City." I ordered.
The generals agreed, and then went to arrange the arrangements.
I returned to the cave and checked the Yin Qi blocks. A lot of them were formed. I took them out and gave them to Liu Xiaomiao and the others to go back to their own cave to attack the Ghost Emperor Stage.
I myself have studied advanced Shukuchi Technique, because the enemies I have recently attracted are getting stronger and stronger. Once I encounter an Earth Immortal, I really don’t know how to go to heaven or earth.
Ziyi fell into a deep sleep again. Her physique was too special. She didn't know how long she would be asleep this time, so she couldn't be used for the time being.
The flying distance has reached four hundred meters, but it is still too short. I took out the books of the Yin Yang family again to study the expansibility of flying.
After this addiction, the three days of small retreat passed like this. Now the flying step has completely become the Shukuchi Technique, and the flying distance has been increased to 500 meters. Although the improvement is not big, in terms of convenience and the time of chanting the incantation,
It has gone far beyond flying steps.
It's just that his own strength is too weak, so escaping from the pursuit of the Earth Immortal is just a delusion.
After leaving seclusion, I asked about Qi Nuannuan's situation. The mother and daughter are still in seclusion to attack the Corpse Emperor. After all, the cultivation of corpses is different from that of humans and ghosts. They cannot come out in a short time and have to be soaked in golden liquid for a long time.
The Liao brothers' great cause of raising corpses has begun to bear fruit. Now more than a thousand corpse soldiers have all been promoted to corpse kings and have become the imperial guards of Tianyi Cave Mansion. This is different from other city gods.
Miao Xiaoli was stimulated by what happened to Senior Brother Mo and Senior Sister Mo, and began to retreat to pursue enlightenment. Although Han Shanshan ate the Dragon Soul Immortal Grass, her Hidden Immortal Physique itself was a seal, so I had to break it myself.
Because Zhao Yu was mobilizing merchants, he was still active in Shifanghai. The coming of more than a dozen city gods was enough for him.
After Jing Yun returned to Chong City, the pressure was not so great, and everyone in Nan City was very united. Dacheng Huang and Zhou Xuan each had their own small ideas, and no one could annex the other. However, once they merged into one, Jing Yun might not be able to bear it.
.
Nothing happened, so I was going to help Han Shanshan reach the enlightenment stage. As soon as we arrived at the door, Han Shanshan almost bumped into me.
"Hey, do you remember me? I'm telling you, I'm not free today. I'll give you two minutes to talk." Han Shanshan looked at me with a smile, holding a red cloth in her hand. She didn't know what it was wrapped in. When she saw me coming, she immediately hid behind it.
.
"Oh, I still want to help you achieve enlightenment, so forget it if I don't have time." I said helplessly.
"No! Except for dual cultivation! Sister is free! When did I say no to dual cultivation!" Han Shanshan suddenly became anxious and quickly held me tight.
"It's not about dual cultivation, it's about helping you understand the seal of the Tao!" I smiled bitterly.
"That's Dual Cultivation! Let's go to Dual Cultivation with my sister." Han Shanshan immediately took my hand and entered the room.
As soon as Han Shanshan entered the room, she began to take off her little coat. Although it was cold, she still deliberately puffed out her chest. The corners of her purple lace underwear were looming, which made me stare.
"Sister, do you still want to take it off?" Han Shanshan looked at me with a bright smile and unbuttoned another button. The narrow career line instantly raised my blood pressure to a new height.
"No... no need, hand over." I sat cross-legged on the carpet, fearing that my sister-in-law would get angry soon, so I simply closed my eyes.
According to the information my grandma left for me, as long as I advance to enlightenment, Han Shanshan can be at the same level as me.
With the contact of my hands, my breath easily entered Han Shanshan's body, and I tried to break the shackles of energy in her body. As long as my energy was strong enough, the more shackles I could break.
When the shackles of the Enlightenment Stage were released to me, Han Shanshan finally entered the Enlightenment Stage. Of course, most of the day had passed. There was no change in the process of Enlightenment. Her power came as she said it would, as if she was born this way.
Not only my clothes, but also Han Shanshan's little shirt was soaked through. Her fair skin made people salivate. After a while, I looked away, said goodbye and prepared to leave.
"Huh, there's nothing new about dual cultivation every time. I won't come next time!" Han Shanshan looked like she was still unsatisfied, and then handed me the red cloth bag.
"What else do you want?" I took a deep breath and looked at her proud figure, feeling indescribably complicated.
After taking the red cloth, I began to wonder what was inside.
