Chapter 573 Soldiers approaching the city, Wu Yong offers a plan
The autumn wind blows on the ancient road, and the dead leaves are flying.
Liu Ji rode his horse to the side of Shangguan Bangning, with a solemn expression on his stern face, looking worried.
Shangguan Bangning knew that he had something to say, so he spoke first to break the calm and said: "Master, do you want to ask how we can resolve the fight between Yanlong and Chu when we go to Yanfeng City?"
"Princess, you are very thoughtful and nothing can escape your eyes."
"I don't know what the princess is planning. Emperor Chu is coming with great force. He will never give up until he achieves his goal."
"I wonder what master thinks of this battle. Do you think Yanlong has a chance to win?"
"Sooner or later there will be a battle between Yanlong and Chu, but I didn't expect that my emperor would initiate this war."
"Although the Chu State is a rising star, its momentum is at its peak, and all the countries have united many times to defeat it."
"I personally went to the Chu State and had many conversations with the Emperor of Chu. Although the Chu State's national power is not the strongest now, its military bravery cannot be underestimated."
"The capture of Yanyun City in less than one day is the best proof that my emperor has chosen this moment to fight Emperor Chu. If we are not completely sure, the chance of winning this victory is too slim."
Liu Ji slowly said that it was not that he had no confidence in the Yanlong Empire, but that the two monarchs had different governance strategies, different policies, and even different personalities.
If Shangguan Hong was suspicious and hesitant in doing things, Emperor Chu was decisive in killing, using iron-blooded methods, and full of adventurous spirit, but he treated the people well.
If the empire on the War Continent wants to survive for a long time, it can only know how to govern the country in troubled times. Shangguan Hong and Chu Feifan are completely different.
The Yanlong Empire has developed into a seventh-level empire after thirty years of development, but Chu Feifan started from a very young age, and in less than a year he has been able to keep pace with Yanlong, which is enough to show that Chu Feifan's talents are different from ordinary people.
"As the master said, if my father did not have a complete plan, he would not be able to fight to the death and choose to fight to the death with the Chu State in Yanfeng City."
"This battle will become the most important battle in the history of the development of the two countries. Whether Emperor Chu can win is still a mystery."
"Bang Ning has done nothing when going to Yanfeng City this time. He just wants to witness Yanlong and Chu, which one is stronger and which one is weaker."
Shangguan Bangning looked melancholy, with worried eyes flashing in his eyes. Seeing her look, Liu Ji sighed softly.
"Princess, it's destiny, don't force it."
Liu Ji knew in his heart that Shangguan Bangning was excellent in terms of intelligence, talent, and methods, but it was a pity that he was born a daughter.
Living in troubled times, everything is in vain.
............
At noon.
The defenders on Yanfeng City watched the sand blowing thousands of miles away, and the dust suspended in the void, soaring into the sky like an earth dragon.
"rumble!"
"rumble!"
The sound of horse hooves shook the earth, the earth trembled under their whips, and the waving flags kept approaching the city.
"There is an enemy attack!"
"Hurry and close the city gate!"
"The Chu army is attacking the city. Hurry up and beat the drums and raise gold to inform the generals."
The urgent voice of the city guarding general rang out. He put his hands on the city wall and narrowed his eyes into a thin line. He looked at the Chu army wearing black armor and riding tall horses, and his face instantly turned pale as paper.
"boom!"
"boom!"
The sound of beating drums and golden sounds spread throughout the city, and the guard ordered the soldiers to draw their bows and set arrows, always ready to release arrows to stop the Chu army from moving forward.
Among the generals in the city, Leng Xu, the commander of the Red Flame Legion, and the commanders of the Yanhu Legion heard the sound and rushed to the courtyard.
At dawn, the two of them had just received an urgent order from Shangguan Hong eight hundred miles away, asking them to be on guard against a sneak attack by the Chu army. They stayed up all night, and just as they returned to the mansion, they heard the sound of gold, and they knew that the Chu army must be approaching the city.
"Come here, please order the three armies to assemble quickly and go to the city wall. We must not let the Chu army capture Yanfeng City."
Leng Xu gave a sharp voice, raised his hand and tightly grasped the long spear handed to him by the general beside him, and ran out of the house quickly.
The Red Flame Legion and the Flame Tiger Legion rushed to the city gate. Generals Leng Xu and Zhu Wei led dozens of generals and galloped down the long street.
The sound of horse hooves shook the sky, and everyone's figures disappeared from the sight of the people. The people in the city knew that the Chu army was coming.
The news that the Chu army had conquered Yanyun City in less than a day had already spread throughout the Yanlong Empire, and the people were in panic all day long, fearing that the Chu army would enter the city and massacre them.
The people who have not been baptized by war for many years are full of fear of gunpowder, a fear that comes from the depths of their souls.
Da da da~
Da da da~
Under the Yanfeng City, the Chu army continued to approach, with dust floating in the sky from behind the army, and the air was filled with a strong aura of murder.
"Your Majesty, Yanfeng City is ahead, do you want to launch an attack immediately?"
"Firewind City?"
"Today I am determined to capture this city. I will first ascend to the camp of the dead soldiers. The generals trapped in the camp will listen to orders and prepare to attack."
Gao Shun, Qu Yi, Nangong Yong and others led their fierce soldiers and rushed out of the Chu army's formation like crazy ferocious beasts.
"kill!"
"kill!"
"kill!"
Shocking killing cries arose. At this time, Leng Xu and Zhu Wei had just arrived at the city.
Seeing the mighty Chu army rushing in outside the city, murderous intent flashed across their eyes, and they said in unison: "The crossbowmen are ready to release arrows to kill the Chu army outside the city. We must not let them get close to the city."
"Whoa!"
"Whoa!"
There was a sound of bows and arrows being drawn, and the soldiers of the Red Flame Legion and the Flame Tiger Legion on the city stretched their huge bows and pointed their arrows directly at the city.
"Huang Zhong, Xue Rengui, and Hua Rong listened to the order and led the soldiers of the Shenjian Battalion to fire arrows to suppress the enemy forces on the city and reduce the casualties in the trapped camp and the First Dead Soldier Battalion."
"In addition, as long as the Yanlong generals in the city dare to show their heads, shoot them all."
Huang Zhong, the third general, took the order and led the soldiers of the Shenjian Battalion to gallop away on horseback. They were all excellent archers who hit the mark with perfect accuracy, even on horseback.
Flying arrows are like locusts, you come and I go.
Soldiers on both sides suffered losses, and screams were heard one after another. Leng Xu raised his head and looked outside the city.
"call out!"
A cloud-penetrating arrow shattered the void and came, feeling the murderous aura that corroded the bones, Leng Xu's figure suddenly squatted down.
"call out!"
The flying arrow pierced the neck of the soldier behind him, and the splash of blood dripped on his armor. Leng Xu was still in shock, and his heart was filled with fear.
"Archer!"
"I never expected that there would be such a powerful archer in the Chu army camp."
Leng Xu looked stunned and muttered in a low voice. At this moment, a soldier came to the city with a man in a green shirt.
"General, this person claims to be a military advisor under General Ba Xiong, and he escaped from Yanyun City."
Yes, the person who came was none other than Wu Yong, who escaped last night. He fled to Yanfeng City overnight.
"General Baxiong has a military advisor under his command. I think you look like a craftsman of the Chu army."
"General, don't get me wrong. The Cao Min is really a military advisor under General Ba's account. The Chu army attacked the city last night, and the Cao Min was on the city."
"The grassroots people are here just to offer advice to protect Yanfeng City from being attacked by the Chu army!"
Seeing Leng Xu's disbelieving look, Wu Yong looked nervous and explained in a quick voice.
Asking for rewards, asking for recommendation votes, and asking for monthly votes.
