Chongheihu wears a flaming flying beast crown on his head, chainmail armor, two golden axes on his back, and a red gourd hanging on his waist. He looks at the city with solemn eyes.
"Su Hu's ability and resilience are beyond our expectations!"
Fei Zhong sat on the other horse and stood side by side with him, showing his extremely high status: "He quelled the slave rebellion in the shortest time, and set up fortifications to keep our 30,000-strong army in Beiyuan away from the city. His son Su Quanzhong
Breaking out to ask for help, I’m afraid we’ve already arrived in Chaoge City, and the king’s army is about to arrive!”
Hearing this, Chong Heihu's face became even more gloomy.
Although the four parties are now powerful and the center seems to have less and less presence, no one still dares to stroke King Zhou's beard.
Once Chaoge sends out his army, the long-prepared plan will come to nothing.
In view of this, he had to ask Fei Zhong for help: "Sir, do you have any good ideas for breaking the city?"
Fei Zhong caressed his beard and pondered for a moment: "Knowing yourself and your enemy is the only way to survive a hundred battles. Can the Marquis lend me the condor?"
"good!"
Chong Heihu hesitated for a moment, then finally made up his mind, took off the gourd from his waist and opened the lid.
A burst of black air then rushed out, letting go of black smoke as big as a snare. There was a hoarse and hissing sound inside. After a moment, a condor spread its wings and rushed out, reaching the Jizhou City in a moment.
This is the iron-billed condor, a species of ancient exotic beast. Chong Heihu, like Wen Zhong, is a disciple of Jie Jiao. Only by understanding the mystical principles can he tame it and command it like an arm.
He muttered words, made spells and cast spells. Fei Zhong felt his eyes blurred as his vision soared rapidly. He could see thousands of miles away, with divine light like a torch. With the help of the eyes of a condor, he looked into the city.
…
"Report! The rebel slaves have been imprisoned and beheaded in public display!"
"Eight messengers asking for help were killed and their heads were thrown into the city."
"The morale of the defenders is low. General Zhao Bing asked Mr. Hou to go on inspection."
But he said that in the city lord's palace, Su Hu was listening to the generals' reports and remained calm and composed, showing the demeanor of a general.
To be able to reach this point under the sudden and successive blows, Su Hu deserves to be one of the four famous generals, but it is difficult for a clever woman to make a meal without rice. At this point, she can only resign herself to fate and see if his son Su Quanzhong can invite reinforcements.
.
But at this moment, the guard came to report: "The grain inspector Zheng Lun has arrived to transport grain and is waiting for orders outside the mansion."
After the slaves rioted, the first thing they did was to burn the grain and grass. This was Fei Zhongshi's plan. He knew that the slaves would not succeed, so he only wanted to hit the garrison of Jizhou City as much as possible.
However, there was a general named Zheng Lun under Su Hu who was outstanding in martial arts, talented, and had acquired different skills. However, due to his humble background, he was not reused and became a grain inspector in the rear.
This time, it was Zheng Lun who turned the tide. When he saw the fire in the granary, he immediately led his troops to put out the fire. At the same time, he went to the nearest granary outside the city to collect grain and grass for supplies.
In this way, Jizhou City can be defended impregnably, leaving no opportunity for Chong Heihu to take advantage of.
Su Hu appreciated Zheng Lun's contribution very much. He nodded and summoned people to come in and prepare to reward him.
But when Zheng Lun really strode in, Su Hu's brows furrowed slightly.
Because the appearance of this grain inspector was too rugged, with a purple face and loose hair, a long nose and a wide mouth, and he was carrying a pair of demon-conquering pestles on his back, and he looked menacing.
That's all. There is a mark on the side of Zheng Lun's neck. It is a slave mark, which means that he is a slave.
Seeing Su Hu looking at him, Zheng Lun showed excitement and half-knelt on the ground: "Master Hou!"
Su Hu put away his strange expression and stepped forward to help him up: "Thanks to General Zheng this time!"
Zheng Lun puffed up his chest proudly, clasped his fists and said: "Please rest assured, Lord Marquis, as long as I give the last general three thousand soldiers and horses, I am willing to serve as a slave to defeat the army of Beiyuan!"
Su Hu didn't expect that he was exaggerating, but the man frowned, shook his head and said: "General Zheng, don't underestimate the enemy. Chong Heihu once worshiped a stranger to teach him Taoism. He has hidden strategies in his chest and is invincible.
We came here prepared this time. There is no chance of winning in a head-on confrontation. We can only wait for His Majesty’s reinforcements to arrive and force them back!”
After Zheng Lun heard this, he shouted: "Your Majesty, please bear witness. In the end, the general will not capture Chong Heihu alive, but his head will be presented in front of all the generals!"
He was majestic and glared, and all the generals trembled in their hearts. Some even took a step back. However, Su Hu was not happy and got angry. He waved his sleeves and said: "General Zheng has been working hard to collect food. He must have encountered evil spirits on the way. His mouth is so messed up."
Let’s talk, why don’t you get out of here quickly!”
Zheng Lun left the house angrily. The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He couldn't help but turn over to the flaming-eyed golden-eyed beast, pointed it into a whistle, and shouted with a hiss. A group of black men and horses suddenly appeared, all in black clothes and black armor.
Like a dark cloud coming to the world, it is the Crow Soldier.
Zheng Lun's father was a deregistered slave, but unfortunately he was still discriminated against. In his early years, he became a disciple of Master Du'e of Xikunlun, and learned a lot of skills. He always wanted to make achievements. This time, Jizhou City was in danger, and he was about to show off his skills.
Simply take out the Taoist soldiers from the bottom of the box.
This scene all fell in the eyes of the condor in mid-air.
Although Su Hu has not learned the art of a military strategist, he is very organized in his military formation. In order to guard against Taoist people, he is covered by a strong military aura. It is impossible to discern the actual situation by ordinary means. The eyes of this eagle are burning and bloody.
, a high price had been paid, but when Fei Zhong saw the conflict between Zheng Lun and Su Hu, he raised the corners of his mouth with joy, and leaned into Chong Heihu's ear to offer him a strategy.
Chong Heihu hesitated when he heard this: "Is this feasible?"
Fei Zhong said with a smile: "Master Hou, you might as well give it a try. If this plan can work, we can capture Jizhou City without a single blow tonight. Even if the king's army goes to attack, we can only hold our noses and admit it!"
Chong Heihu weighed the pros and cons and finally nodded: "Okay! Just listen to sir!"
It was too late, but soon, Zheng Lun led 3,000 crow soldiers out of the city, formed a formation according to the shape of the Rengui River in the north, and attacked the 30,000 troops outside the city.
"Arrogant!"
There were at least tens of thousands of defenders in Suhu City, but they did not dare to engage in a head-on confrontation. A mere three thousand soldiers and horses dared to take the initiative to attack. This move made the generals under Chongheihu very angry, and they were gearing up to give him a good look.
"Stand back, I will take him personally!"
But Chong Heihu pressed down, looked at Fei Zhong, and took the initiative to clap his horse to meet him.
"Good opportunity!"
Zheng Lun was overjoyed and waved his pestle in the air. The three thousand crow soldiers behind him shouted and moved like long snakes. Everyone held hooks in their hands and dragged copper ropes horizontally, and lightning rushed towards them.
"snort!"
The two armies were still a hundred steps away from each other when a sound suddenly came from Zheng Lun's nose, and two white lights spurted out, directly into the Chonghei Tiger's ears.
Chong Heihu was a man of martial arts and martial arts, and no one could resist him. But after hearing his voice, he felt dizzy, his mind went blank, and he fell off his horse.
Su Lun stretched out his hand and saw that three thousand crow soldiers were like one person. He grabbed them from the air with a hook and a copper lock, tied them up and captured them alive. He suddenly returned to the formation, turned around and left, leaving only the man who had captured the enemy leader laughing and laughing wildly.
The furious pursuit of Beiyuan's army.
"Interesting! I didn't expect there to be such a strange person in Jizhou. I didn't notice it for a moment and was captured by you. It's all thanks to your ability!"
Seeing that he was about to enter Jizhou City, Chong Heihu shook his head, and then he woke up and was not frightened. Looking at Su Lun's praise, he suddenly changed the subject:
"What a pity. With your ability, how can you be a small grain inspector?"
