Under the arrangement of the Thorn God, the news of the ancestor of the Wei family being enthroned spread throughout the Wei Kingdom in a very short period of time. Just when everyone in the Wei family was panicking because their ancestor was enthroned, the situation in the entire Wei Kingdom suddenly changed.
First of all, more than a dozen business houses that have been extremely popular in the past ten years have quickly merged into a large business called Longteng. With a Dao Gang monk in charge, its strength has increased dramatically.
After a short period of integration, Longteng Company announced its own strength. There are 5,000 people in the company, including one Daogang monk and more than 40 Zifu monks. They have mastered the twelve most important business roads in Weiguo.
Seven, and there are foreign sales channels.
Later, Longteng Company announced its expansion and absorbed the remaining small businesses, accepting all comers. It also increased the price of purchasing resources from various family clans, which immediately won the favor of various forces.
Moreover, many firms openly abandoned Wei's firm and exclusively cooperated with Longteng firm. There were more than thirty such forces, large and small. For a time, Longteng firm's reputation resounded throughout the Wei Kingdom.
Under the pressure of Longteng Company, the Wei family quickly reorganized. Relying on the intricate relationships, they competed with Longteng Company, using open and covert attacks.
However, not long after, the Daogang monks of Longteng Company invited three Daogang monks from other places to assist in the boxing. As the elders of Keqing, their strength skyrocketed again, and the strength of the two sides was almost the same.
After several months of expansion, the number of people in the Longteng Company has reached 8,000. The number of members has increased, but the profits have not increased. This means that the salary of the monks in the company has become lower, so people in the company have been lobbying for the expansion of the company.
However, Wei State was poor, and if it wanted to expand, it had to go south to steal food from the mouths of monsters, or go north to seize territory from the Wei family. Almost everyone in the business chose to go north.
They have been in Weiguo for many years and are well aware of the situation in Weiguo. It is not an easy task to seize the spiritual mountain from the mouth of the monster beast. Most of the monster beasts come in groups. To capture a spiritual mountain, you have to destroy a group of monster beasts.
You have to be careful to prevent higher-level monsters from intervening. It would be even more miserable if there was a wave of monsters.
Even if all this is successful, it will not be usable immediately after the Lingshan is captured. The environment on the mountain must be cleaned up, the spiritual field opened, and formations set up. Huge resources must be invested, and it will take more than three to five years to pay off.
.
But seizing the territory of the Wei family is different. The Wei Kingdom is similar to other countries in that they all expand from north to south. The Lingshan Mountain in the north was opened very early and has a history of hundreds of years. The Lingshan Mountain is mature and can be snatched the next year.
As long as there are resources to produce, it will be cost-effective no matter how you calculate it.
So the Longteng Company, under the banner of Zhan Weiguo, intimidated the Wei family and continuously attacked cities and territories, showing the ambitions of the emerging forces. It went all the way north and continuously defeated the forces loyal to the Wei family. The whole Weiguo was undergoing great changes.
There is a tendency to change dynasties.
In less than half a year, the army organized by Longteng Company advanced to the vicinity of Changliu City. At this time, because of the strong strength displayed by Longteng Company, many people were optimistic about Longteng Company and placed bets, allowing Longteng Company to expand its manpower to fifteen thousand.
Thousands of people, with dozens of families as support.
On the other hand, the Wei family retreated again and again, without the domineering power of the Wei royal family. There were many dead in battle, those who betrayed and surrendered, and there were many neutral forces. Even near Changliu City, the Wei family only organized nearly 20,000 people.
As a royal family of a country, it is very shameful to have such little power, and the Wei family's rule is on the verge of collapse.
The two sides are constantly confronting each other. Although the final battle has not yet taken place, there are many private actions. Longteng Company publicly announced that as long as the Wei family surrenders the royal position and Changliu City, it can still retain the Shanmen territory, and everyone will work together to open the Wei Kingdom.
, and secretly there are vassal forces that are constantly instigating rebellion against the Wei family. The longer time goes by, the more disadvantageous it will be to the Wei family.
However, Wei's reaction was very disappointing. Wei's Taoist monk seemed to be unable to handle this situation at all, and just stubbornly resisted to the end.
So when the number of Longteng Company's troops reached 20,000 and the Wei family had only more than 10,000 people, the general attack began. Longteng Company led a fierce siege with 1,000 backbones of the company and 4,000 vassals as the vanguard.
Changliu City has a large fourth-level city defense formation, and the elite troops of the Wei family are stationed there. No matter how many enemies come like a flood, they can hold on to their lives.
The first day of the siege was the most violent. After injuring no less than 2,000 people, Longteng Company did not capture Changliu City. One of the biggest characteristics of the family disciples is their strong cohesion. As long as the top management is undefeated, even if they show signs of decline, they will not be defeated.
Will give up easily.
From the second day on, the intensity of the siege dropped a lot. The Daogang monks from the Longteng Company came out to challenge and wanted to find a decisive battle with the Wei family's Daogang monks, but the Wei family refused and the Daogang monks did not go out to fight.
After going on like this for more than a month, Longteng Company gradually couldn't stand it any longer. They set up camp outside the city, but there was no support from the spiritual veins. They were eating people and chewing horses, and the formations were running, all of which required the support of Xuanjing resources. On the contrary, Changliu City
, where the spiritual veins are located, and it is the home base of the Wei family. It has a lot of resource reserves. When it comes to consumption, the Wei family is naturally better.
"The supplies we have prepared cannot last any longer. We have not achieved anything in the past half month. If we don't fight decisively, we will collapse."
"Changliu City is not easy to fight. There are more than 10,000 people defending the city, and Dao Gang monks are ready to support us. No matter which side we fight, we have no chance of winning."
"What about your lord? If you ask your lord to take action, why doesn't he show up?"
"How do I know this?"
"In a word, no matter what, a decisive battle must begin within three days, otherwise we will lose."
In the camp, four Dao Gang monks were discussing. Siege battles rarely resulted in gains. Without material replenishment, it was a severe challenge for them. Not to mention anything else, just for spiritual rice alone, they would need
Only tens of thousands of kilograms are enough. In one month, more than one million kilograms have been consumed.
If even the simplest spiritual rice cannot be provided, then the vassals of Longteng Company will cause trouble. After all, this is a war, and they cannot be allowed to eat ordinary rice. In addition, magic weapons, spiritual talismans, elixirs, etc. are also a big deal.
Huge consumption.
In the end, the four people decided to launch a general attack in three days, and they needed Zero Zero One's attack. With the cooperation of the Spiritual Light monks, the fourth-level city defense formation would not be able to hold on for long. Without the city defense formation, they could rely on their numbers to win.
Three days later, the general offensive began, and Zero Zero One, who had not appeared until now, also appeared. However, he did not dare to wear a mask, but appeared through other disguises.
The appearance of Zero Zero One greatly boosted the morale of Long Teng Company. The attacks came one after another like a tide. Zero Zero One personally participated in the siege, which made the city defense formation shaky, as if it could be broken at any time.
"boom"
Just when the formation was about to be broken, a spiritual light suddenly appeared in Changliu City, striking Zero Zero One. Zero Zero One was frightened, and disappeared instantly. He used secret techniques to avoid the sneak attack's fatal blow.
But Ling Lingyi hid, but the remaining siege personnel could not escape. In an instant, hundreds of people were beaten to powder by this spiritual light, including several Zifu monks, and there were countless injuries.
"It's you, Old Ghost Wei, you really cheated your death."
Ling Lingyi looked at the ancestor of the Wei family and was extremely frightened. In fact, he had long suspected that the ghost Wei was pretending to be dead, because the God of Thorns had found out that the longevity of the ancestor Wei was more than 800 years old. He should have taken the medicine before he died.
If you don't have the treasure to extend your life, then you still have about ten years of life left.
"But you haven't been fooled yet, haha"
Patriarch Wei laughed and said, so what if the other party knows, he has been fooled, the greed in his heart is too strong.
"Hmph, you were fooled. You are old and weak, and your vitality and blood are declining. It is not certain who will die."
"Ignorant child, the Wei family has been rooted here for thousands of years, and the country has been established for hundreds of years. Do you think that I, the Wei family, have this little ability? Look behind you."
"you····"
When Ling Lingyi said this, he immediately looked back. At this sight, Ling Lingyi was all fired up and furious, because right in their camp, there were firelights and shouts of killing one after another.
"It's those vassals"
Ling Lingyi was shocked and immediately knew what was going on. Since the Longteng Company started to gain momentum, it has swept through half of the Wei Kingdom. Thousands of people have joined them and become their vassal forces. The Longteng Company has not carefully screened them, just coming.
He did not refuse, thinking that the situation was decided, but he did not expect that the Wei family actually resorted to a trick of pretending to surrender.
The camp at the rear was in chaos, and the troops on the front who participated in the city's destruction were also in chaos. Countless people were frightened, especially those from Longteng Company. They couldn't tell which vassal forces were pretending to surrender and which ones were sincerely surrendering. No one could
If you can't believe it, you can only believe in your own people.
However, the number of Longteng Company is only 4,000 or 5,000. As a result, Longteng Company is in trouble.
"Wei's troops, attack and kill all the enemy troops"
Patriarch Wei did not hesitate, and roared. The three thousand elites who had already gathered in Changliu City immediately dispatched. The city defense formation opened a corner, and three thousand people came out and rushed towards the men of Longteng Company.
What's even more frightening is that the people of the Longteng Company on the battlefield have also begun to rebel. Most of these people are not the people arranged by Patriarch Wei to pretend to surrender. They are just grassroots. Seeing that the ancestor of the Wei family is back, the Longteng Company is in danger.
, immediately rebelled and rejoined Wei's forces.
Attacked from the front and back, and someone in the middle rebelled, the people of Longteng Company completely distrusted the vassal forces and immediately turned to break out.
"Now it's your turn, fellow Taoist, I want to see who you are."
Ancestor Wei stared at Ling Lingyi coldly. The person who tipped off the information did not specify what force was behind Longteng Company, so Ancestor Wei wanted to know who they were.
"snort"
Ling Ling turned around and ran away, feeling extremely sad and angry. The assassin god's decades of planning at the southwestern tip of Nanzhou were all in vain.
