After Wu Mei arrived in Wancheng, she immediately set about setting up the city defense. At the same time, she sent all the women, old people, and children of Wancheng to Yancheng, leaving only the strong young people to participate in the reinforcement of the city defense.
The new recruits from Yancheng had only been in Wancheng for three days, and a large group of Zhenjun troops had already appeared in Wancheng.
Along the way, the Zhen Army burned, killed, looted, and committed all kinds of evil. Everywhere they passed, whether it was a city or a village, they first killed, then shot, and finally burned, turning the land they passed upside down and leaving corpses everywhere.
.
Seeing Wancheng, the morale of the Zhen army was extremely high. Everyone knew that arriving at Wancheng was equivalent to arriving at Yancheng, the capital of wind. As long as Wancheng was defeated, Yancheng would be in one's possession.
Li Cheng ordered the entire army to rest where they were, and then asked the guards to light a fire. He called several important generals over and gathered around the fire, half squatting and half sitting, while warming their hands and discussing.
"Have the detectives found out how many troops there are in Wancheng?" Li Cheng asked, exhaling as he moved his hands. The further north you go, the colder the weather becomes. When you get to Wancheng, the low temperature makes Zhen Ren
I started not being able to bear it anymore.
"Back to the general, we have found out that Wancheng's troops are less than 50,000. In addition to Wancheng's city army, they are also the Central Army who came from Yancheng for reinforcements. However, these Feng Kingdom Central Army are all new soldiers, and their combat effectiveness is probably not as good as
The city army is not worth mentioning!" Xun Xiao said with a nonchalant smile.
Gao Jun glanced left and right and whispered: "I heard that even Mrs. Leping from Feng Kingdom has arrived in Wancheng."
"Mrs. Leping?" Li Cheng had no impression.
"Mrs. Leping's name is Wu Mei. It is said that she is extremely beautiful and charming. When Zhong Tian killed the king and established himself as the King of Wind, he planned to choose Wu Mei as his princess. Later, Tang Yin broke into the palace alone and forced herself under Zhong Tian's nose.
Taking away Wu Mei, you can see how charming this woman is!"
When he spoke, Gao Jun's eyebrows were dancing, as if he had seen Wu Mei before.
"Oh? There is such a thing!" Li Cheng smiled and said: "I never thought that Tang Yin would be so angry that he would fall for a beauty!" After a pause, he nodded repeatedly and responded: "That's right, this is also in line with Tang Yin's behavior.
His character, if he hadn’t coveted the beauty of Her Highness the Princess, how could he have brought the disaster of war to his Feng Country?”
Gao Jun said with a smile: "Wumei is in Wancheng, and Her Royal Highness the Princess is in Yancheng. We will take Wancheng first, and then Yancheng, and capture Wumei and the princess. The former can be sent to the king, and the latter to the young master. In that way, the general's
The merits will be great. Who knows, the king will promote the general to a general or a general!"
"Haha!" Li Cheng was also happy. If Wu Mei was really as stunning as Gao Jun said, he would definitely give her to the king, and the king would reward him greatly. He was secretly proud for a while, and a gust of cold wind blew by.
Li Cheng subconsciously shuddered. He looked up at the sky. It was morning, but the sky was gray and even the sun was shining brightly. He shook his head and muttered: "What the hell is the weather!"
Gao Jun and other generals also felt the biting cold wind, so they moved closer to the fire and said: "General, we attack the city in the morning and will almost be able to enter Wancheng at noon. Let the soldiers have a good rest this time. In the past few days, we have been fighting again and again.
It’s a long journey, and I’m exhausted from both the top and bottom.”
Li Cheng did not object, nodded and said: "Once you enter Wancheng, Yancheng will be close at hand. You no longer have to worry about the other party moving the capital and fleeing. It's time for the soldiers to take a good rest."
"General, I see you clearly!" Gao Jun stood up, raised his hands and said, "General, I am willing to lead the battle with 20,000 soldiers and take the lead!"
Gao Jun's morale is high, which is a good thing. Li Cheng is also very happy, but considering that his injury has not healed, he shook his head and said: "General Gao is injured and it will be inconvenient. It is better for General Xun to take the lead..."
Before he finished speaking, Gao Jun became anxious, raised his arm, waved it vigorously, and said seriously: "General, a mere arrow wound is nothing at all. The general has been fine for a long time. This time, let the general
Let’s fight first!”
"This..." Li Cheng hesitated for a moment, and seeing Gao Jun's anxious eyes almost turning red, he nodded and said, "Okay! However, General Gao must be more careful. Since Mrs. Feng Guo is in Wancheng, her city defense
Not to be underestimated!”
"Haha!" Gao Jun looked up and laughed, and said proudly: "Tens of thousands of wind troops are like lambs waiting to be slaughtered in the eyes of the general. In less than an hour, the general will break through Wancheng's defenses!"
Li Cheng likes generals like Gao Jun. When facing the enemy, he is full of confidence and arrogant. Moreover, he himself really has outstanding skills. Li Cheng nodded and said with a smile: "Then, I am going to have a drink with General Gao in the city."
Already."
"General, just wait and see!" As he spoke, Gao Jun picked up his gun, mounted his horse, and headed straight for Wancheng with 20,000 elite Zhen troops.
When he was about to enter the shooting range of Wancheng, Gao Jun didn't even stop and continued to rush forward.
At this moment, I heard a squeaking sound in front of my ear, and a long and sharp whistling sound came out.
Snapped!
A rattling arrow flew in front of Gao Jun's horse and nailed it deeply to the ground. This was a warning from the other side, telling him not to go any further. Almost at the same time, the gate of Wancheng opened and people rushed out from inside.
The first general, this general, has a golden helmet on his head and wears golden armor. He dismounts from his maroon horse and holds a long halberd. This halberd is famous as the Kaitian Battle Halberd.
This wind general is none other than Lei Zhen.
The Zhen army came with great force, and they fought and won consecutively along the way. No one could defeat them. The soldiers in Wancheng were generally afraid of the enemy. Taking this into account, Zong Yuan suggested to Wu Mei that one of his own generals should be sent out to kill the enemy.
A few loyal generals really want to strengthen their own morale.
Wu Mei felt that what Zong Yuan said was reasonable, and naturally looked at Lei Zhen. Currently, the only general that the Feng Army could use was Lei Zhen. If a few other generals were sent out, they would probably be killed instead of killing the enemy.
of.
Of course Lei Zhen knew his own situation very well. Even though he had a low-key temperament, he could only stand up at this time, step in and salute, and said: "General, I am willing to go out of the city to fight the enemy!"
Wu Mei was waiting for his words and hurriedly asked: "How many troops are General Gao going to take out of the city?"
Lei Zhen said: "There is no need to lead troops, the general can just leave the city alone!"
Wu Mei was taken aback and said, "How is that possible..."
Lei Zhen had never been on the battlefield and was not very confident in himself. He smiled bitterly and said: "If the general is defeated, he can withdraw if he wants to. But if you take your troops and horses out of the city, in case of defeat, you will be afraid of the enemy."
The army will take advantage of the chaos and rush into the city!"
His words made Wu Mei dumbfounded. Before the battle, Lei Zhen was thinking about how he would fight if he lost the battle. Zong Yuan could understand Lei Zhen's thoughts. Lei Zhen didn't know his own strength yet, at least he didn't know where he was.
What level can one rank among generals?
Zong Yuan said with a smile: "That's fine! Since General Lei doesn't want to lead troops into battle, then don't lead them." As he spoke, he pointed to the Zhen army outside the city and said: "The enemy's leading army looks like about 20,000 people.
, this must be here to test our strength, and the generals leading it are not very powerful. It would be best if General Lei could take off the enemy general's head, but defeating the enemy general is acceptable."
He said it in an understatement, but Wu Mei looked surprised. The generals of the leading army were not very powerful? How is this possible? Generally speaking, the generals of the leading army are the most brave and skillful in the entire army, otherwise the general would not send them.
Go out and lead the battle!
What Zong Yuan said made Lei Zhen's nervous mood relax a lot. He held up his hands and said, "Thank you, Lord Zong, for telling me, I'm going to leave!" With that, he walked down the city wall and left the city single-handedly.
Let's talk about Gao Jun, who was leading the battle outside the city. When he saw the Wancheng soldiers opening up and a general rushing out from inside, he couldn't react for a moment. Since entering the territory of Feng Kingdom, wherever the Zhen Army went to the city, the other side defended it with all their might.
He sent generals out of the city to fight.
After being stunned for a moment, he came to his senses, and then hurriedly raised his spear high to signal the soldiers behind him to stop advancing. Then, he urged his horse to take a few steps forward, and looked forward carefully. After seeing clearly, he couldn't help but
I was so happy, it turned out that the opponent only had one general out of the city, and not even a single soldier behind him. This was really interesting.
Gao Jun was about to rush his horse to fight. At this time, a general stepped forward and intervened and said: "There is no use in killing a chicken with a bull's knife! General Gao, please let the last general go into battle and take the enemy general's head!"
"Yes!" The opponent only had one general, and Gao Jun felt that it was not worth taking action. He nodded and said, "A quick victory, our army will enter Wancheng before noon!"
"You will finally understand!"
The general nodded in response, then, holding a knife in one hand, he urged his horse to go straight towards Lei Zhen.
Seeing a general rushing towards him from the opposite side, Lei Zhen still followed the battlefield rules he knew and signed up with his hand: "General Lei is downwind..."
Before he could finish his words, the general was already approaching him, sweeping his spiritual sword across his hand and grabbing Lei Zhen's neck.
Hey! This person really doesn't understand the rules. He didn't even give his name and started taking action when he came up. As expected, Master Zong was right. The enemy general did not have much strength. If he were a famous general, he would never be so rude. I thought in my heart, Lei Zhen has something in his hands.
But before he stopped, he lifted the halberd outward in a leisurely manner, and a crisp clang was heard in the helix.
The spiritual sword that slashed at his neck was deflected by his halberd.
Ah? This Wind General is so strong! General Zhen was secretly surprised. When the two horses were about to cross each other, he withdrew his spiritual sword and stabbed Lei Zhen's chest with the edge of the sword's tail. Lei Zhen stepped aside and got out of the way.
At this time, the two horses had already crossed each other. Just as General Zhen was about to rein in his horse and fight back, Lei Zhen suddenly struck back with a halberd, slashing the back of General Zhen's head.
This strike back to the horse halberd was so fast and cruel that it exceeded the general's expectations. By the time the latter realized what was wrong and tried to dodge, it was already too late.
Click!
With a crisp sound, the crescent-shaped sharp point on the halberd hit the back of General Zhen's neck. The latter's spiritual armor shattered with the sound, and Douda's head was also cut off by Lei Zhen's halberd.
Slippery! The headless corpse fell off the war horse. The war horse screamed strangely, turned around and ran back to the Zhenjun camp.
Silence! At this time, everything inside and outside Wancheng was quiet. People on both sides of the enemy and ours were staring at Lei Zhen in the center of the battlefield with their eyes wide open, unable to react.
