The gates of Aurora City were closed, and all the Sky-Devouring soldiers and horses had entered the city. They entered the city extremely fast in order to survive.
Chen Baxian ordered his generals Zhou Wenyu, Hou Andu, Chen Yucheng, and Xiao Moke to guard the four gates of Aurora City respectively. After everything was properly deployed, he stood up and came to the side of Emperor Devouring Heaven.
"Your Majesty, victory or defeat is a matter of military strategism. Aurora City is defended by fire arrays and is impregnable. Even if the Chu army has wings, it will not be able to invade the city."
"Your Majesty, you can rest assured and recuperate in the government office for a while. When the three armies regain their strength, they can defeat the Chu army in one fell swoop."
Hear the sound.
Emperor Devouring Heaven let out a long sigh and said: "Chen Baxian, Wu Qi, Zu Lei, Zhang Huangli, Yan Gexing, Wen Zhong, Yang Kan, Li Wudi, you and others will follow me to the General's Mansion to discuss countermeasures."
Chen Baxian's words were like thunder in a dream, and the Heaven-Eating Emperor suddenly realized that it was not the end of the road now. He had an army of 500,000 people, and there were still many masters and warriors, so there was still a chance for a reversal.
Emperor Devouring Heaven decided to fight again, otherwise he would betray the trust of the Holy Lord and die in the end.
Da da da~
Da da da~
The generals followed the Emperor Shitian and ran towards the general's office. At this time, a loud and urgent sound of trumpets spread in the wilderness outside the city, and the Chu army followed.
The five armies advanced hand in hand, like a black wave sweeping over the plains. As they advanced, flags were fluttering, thousands of horses galloped and roared, and the sound of whipping shook the sky.
The billowing smoke and dust engulfed Aurora City, cold spears and halberds flew sonorously in the void, roaring and shattering the void inch by inch, and the dull killing cries and violent roars made the mountains and rivers tremble.
The Chu army's momentum was overwhelming, like a vast expanse of raging waves crashing into the mountains, and the square formations were approaching the city in an orderly manner.
On the top of the city, Zhou Wenhai looked at it intently and saw the Chu army overwhelming the field. His eyes shrank and he was filled with horror.
"The enemy soldiers of Chu State number nearly half a million, and their momentum is so magnificent. It seems that the battle of Aurora City is inevitable."
"The officers and soldiers of the three armies obeyed the order and stood ready. The fire formation was ready at any time. If the Chu army wanted to take a step beyond the thunder pool, they would release monstrous flames and burn them all to ashes."
Zhou Wenhai ordered the three armies in the city to prepare for war, but the Chu army outside the city stopped abruptly and did not release their horses to attack.
Bang~
Bang~
Bang~
The soldiers and horses stopped, the war shields hit the ground, and loud noises exploded into the sky, making the enemy soldiers on the city look pale and frightened.
Suddenly.
Led by Bai Qi, Li Jing, Wei Qing, Xue Rengui and Xiang Yu, hundreds of generals gathered towards the Chinese chariot. The Emperor of Chu stood on the top of the chariot and looked up at Aurora City directly ahead.
"Kong Ming, Zifang, right in front of you is the last city of the Heaven-Devouring Empire. After it is captured, Wu Chu will rise again and prove to all the countries in the world that a strong Chu cannot be bullied."
"Your Majesty, the Heaven-devouring Emperor entered the city in a hurry, in a panic like a dog, and the morale of the army is even more demoralized, so there is nothing to be afraid of. However, Chen Baxian in the city is shrewd and knowledgeable, and is good at using troops. The combat power of the Tianhu Legion under his command cannot be underestimated."
"However, Chen Baxian is not invincible, but the power of the fierce fire formation in Aurora City is unparalleled. In the past, King Xiang's army was unable to capture it for several days, and suffered numerous casualties."
"In Weichen's humble opinion, in order to prevent the sacrifice of our Chu elites from being in vain, Weichen thought we could wait for the opportunity to attack the city!"
Zhuge Liang raised his eyes and looked around, speaking loudly. Zhang Liang on the other side echoed, saying: "Your Majesty, Kong Ming's words are right. Aurora City has a long-lasting reputation and is known as the most difficult to attack in the mainland."
"The reason why it is called Aurora City is because of the fiery formation at the top of the city. The fire snakes can destroy the enemy for thousands of meters. It is difficult to climb to the sky if you climb the city. These two sentences have been circulated in the War Continent for many years."
"In the past, Emperor Devouring Heaven overthrew the Taixu Empire, but he never captured Aurora City. Instead, he sent envoys into the city to bribe Chen Baxian to surrender."
"Well!"
"I didn't expect that Aurora City is still a city of iron barrels. It is impossible to attack it by force. Do you two dear friends have a way to destroy the city?"
The Heaven-defying Fire Formation on Aurora City caught Emperor Chu by surprise. If Zhuge Liang and Zhang Liang hadn't mentioned it, Emperor Chu would have already ordered the attack on the city.
"Your Majesty, in the past, I once gave King Xiang a bag of tips, which included a clever plan to defeat this city. However, judging from the current climate, Wei Chen's clever plan cannot be implemented in a short period of time."
Zhuge Liang originally wanted to take advantage of the right time, place, and people to capture Aurora City without any effort, but unfortunately the weather was not kind to him. By the autumnal equinox, the autumn rain should have been falling, and the wind direction had changed, but there was no sign of rainfall at the moment.
For a moment, Zhuge Liang and Zhang Liang were lost in thought. At this moment, Bai Qi, Li Jing, Wei Qing, Xue Rengui, and Xiang Yu rode up to the chariot, jumped off their horses, and strode forward to salute:
"Your Majesty, the army has arrived at the city. When will we launch a general attack on Aurora City?"
Bai Qi raised his fist and asked. The generals raised their heads one after another and focused their gazes on Emperor Chu. It was obvious that they were all waiting for Emperor Chu's order to send their troops to directly conquer the Aurora City in front of them.
"King Xiang, tell me about the battle in the past when the Overlord Army captured Aurora City!"
Hearing the sound, Xiang Yu informed the generals about the situation when he attacked Aurora City and was burned by the fire array. Instantly, there was an uproar around the chariot. There were many Chu generals who were not afraid of life and death, but the Emperor of Chu could not look at the warriors who had traveled thousands of miles and did anything.
A unnecessary sacrifice, and ultimately buried in a foreign land.
"The generals listen to the order and encircle Aurora City first. We must not allow them to send one person to look for reinforcements. I want to make this city an isolated city."
"How to break the city will be decided after I discuss it with the ministers. Aurora City must be captured with minimal losses."
Next, Emperor Chu deployed five armies to besiege the city. Bai Qi and Xiang Yu remained stationary and took charge of the north gate and the central tent. Li Jing's troops guarded the west gate, Wei Qing's troops gathered under the south gate, and Xue Rengui's army camped under the east gate.
Bai Qi, Li Jing, Xiang Yu, Wei Qing, Xue Rengui, and Di Xin stopped the main camp of the Chinese army to discuss the attack. The army led by Li Yuanba, Huang Tianhua, and Qin Yong went to form formations at the other three city gates.
The troops divided into three groups, and Bai Qi ordered the three armies to set up camp. About two hours later, Aurora City was surrounded by the Chu army.
At this time, in the main tent of the Chinese army, the Emperor of Chu began to discuss with the generals how to break the city. In the general's palace in the city, the Emperor Devouring Heaven also discussed with his generals how to defeat the Chu army.
"Your Majesty, news just came from the gate of the city. The Chu army has camped under the four cities and Aurora City is surrounded. I think the reason why the Chu army did not choose to attack by force is because they are afraid of the fierce fire array in the city."
"In this way, our army will have a chance to breathe. At present, we should stabilize the morale of the army and then discuss the matter of facing the war."
Wu Qi bowed and said, and the Heaven-Eating Emperor waved his hand to signal him to sit down: "Wu Qi, you are the commander-in-chief of the three armies, and you are very resourceful. In your opinion, what should our army do now?"
Emperor Devouring Heaven cast an expectant look at Wu Qi, hoping that he could turn things around and resolve the current crisis in Aurora City. The eyes of all the generals in the council hall also focused on Wu Qi. (To be continued)
