In Blackwater City, the Sheriff's Mansion was in chaos, but one of the demons sneaked out while other companions were not paying attention...
"Guard, do you want to send troops to attack the city at this time?"
"No need, just order to fire artillery. Attacking the city in heavy rain is really detrimental to our army. The lives of the soldiers cannot be sacrificed like this!"
Outside Blackwater City, guard Zou Jing came to the front line in person. This seemingly frail, somewhat scholarly middle-aged man was riding on a war horse, as steady as Mount Tai, giving people the illusion of standing tall on a high mountain.
Zou Jing had no intention of attacking Heishui City. This city made of rocks was more than six feet high and two feet thick. It had a barbican, a cave for hiding soldiers, tunnels, and a thousand-jin gate.
In particular, the Wengcheng and the outer city wall form a zigzag, and are more than ten feet higher than the outer city. When entering the Wengcheng from the outer city wall, there is a section of the wall that can barely allow two people to pass. The subsequent city wall is a steep slope, and the defenders of the Wengcheng
Mainly artillery and crossbowmen.
The powerful bed crossbow is enough to penetrate many people. The wolf-toothed chariot with blades is as wide as the Wengcheng wall and can resist enemies attacking along the wall.
This kind of wolf-toothed chariot slides down the slope from the high-altitude barbican city, which is enough to pierce the attacking enemy into bloody gourds.
In the center of the urn city, there are pits, caves for hiding soldiers, and a swinging defensive mallet called Sweeping Thousands of Arms.
A defensive mallet made of giant wood, with a made-up surface and a steel cone ranging in length from one to two feet, was pushed down from the top of the wall by the defenders at the top of the Wengcheng city, and could smash everything above the ground into powder.
The moat surrounding the outer city wall is highly poisonous and releases poisonous gas day and night. It is usually managed by the wizards of the demon clan and is no different from the ordinary river water. Only during wars will its vicious defensive capabilities be exerted.
At first, Wu Shan led his tribe to bribe spies and dug tunnels underground to break into Heishui City. Later, this monster clan spent a lot of money to transform Heishui City, making Heishui City's defense like an iron wall.
From then on, every time the battle situation was unfavorable, Wushan would order his troops to retreat to Wengcheng and counterattack the enemy troops who boarded the city, and they succeeded every time.
With the arrival of the rainy season, the guard Zou Jing regarded this military operation as a military training exercise. It was a very generous move. Another important purpose was to siege Blackwater City and frighten the demon clan who were ready to move.
In Blackwater City, Wushan, the great witch, was unconscious. The elders of the Wushan clan united together and after discussion, decided to talk to Zou Jing, the guard of Dayan Kingdom.
However, in order to block the die-hard faction within the clan, a battle must be fought before that.
The top leaders of the demon clan in Blackwater City had just made a decision when another bad news came. The Dayan Kingdom's border troops gathered part of the troops and pushed towards the northwest of the fairy city. They successively conquered Yinshan City, Green Water City, and Jutie City, which were in the hands of the demon clan.
There are three important military towns in the city.
Along with this bad news, there was also unconfirmed news that the Yan Kingdom had developed a very powerful catapult that could easily blow up a section of a solid city wall.
Even though Blackwater City is impregnable, the defense system of the city wall is extremely important. Once the city wall is gone, the Great Yan Kingdom will clearly have the upper hand based on the combat power of both armies.
The Yan Kingdom has a large number of armies, and they form military formations with each other. They are good at using bows and crossbows to fight large-scale armies. This is very disadvantageous for the demon clan who are good at individual combat.
The demon clan is famous for emphasizing individual combat power, and they are called warriors. They enjoy breaking through the enemy's defense line on their own.
In response to this situation, the Great Yan State has made targeted countermeasures. It is difficult for the demon clan based on the tribal system to gather an army of more than 100,000. However, in every military operation of the Great Yan State, the total number of troops deployed is as high as several dozen.
One hundred thousand, each army has one hundred thousand people.
This time, the guard of Zou Jing mobilized an army of 500,000 people and advanced in five directions, cooperating with each other and not allowing any troops to go deep alone or fall behind.
Zou Jing treated his generals with both kindness and power, generous rewards, property, fields, and mansions, but he never allowed the military to act like a child. If the general delayed the military plan, the deputy general could kill him directly and replace him, and the three generals who were killed were also killed.
The clan will be implicated and all will be killed without mercy, and so on.
Zou Jing rewarded those who made meritorious deeds generously, and punished those who made mistakes in public, humiliating them as punishment. Therefore, everyone in the army fought bravely to kill the enemy, and no one was willing to lag behind others.
This military operation, as long as Zou Jing can capture Blackwater City, it will be considered a success.
"Report, guard, the Tulisa tribe of the demon clan is approaching Mengcheng! The Mengcheng defenders have returned westward in accordance with the guard order and can join our army tomorrow afternoon!"
"Order the Mengcheng garrison to report the movements of Tulisa Department at any time!"
"As ordered!" The scout changed his horse and galloped away.
At every moment, in every direction, there are scouts reporting the situation in various places. After seven or eight years of preparation, Zou Jing has made everything ready, which can be said to be twice the result with half the effort.
The demon tribe in Blackwater City has no backup and will soon fall into a crisis of running out of ammunition and food. Regarding this, Zou Jing is very confident that Heishui City will be captured in more than a month.
Zou Jing's army besieged Blackwater City and expelled all the demon clans south of Immortal City, and the process was proceeding in an orderly manner.
Zhao Feng had arranged the territory affairs and had negotiated with Zheng Gong. Three days later, in the early morning, when the rain finally stopped, he arrived in the southwest of Mengcheng, a small town full of refugees.
In order to capture Mengcheng as quickly as possible, the great witch Tulisa did not send troops to encircle and suppress the refugees. It was not a good thing to anger Zou Jing at this time.
After all, Tulisa's army is deep into the enemy's heartland. If you are not careful, you will lose everything.
Originally, Zhao Feng did not want to participate in this battle between the Great Yan Kingdom and the various tribes of the Monster Tribe.
Nanping Town is not big, and its scale is much smaller than Shuangqi Town. It is originally a distribution center for goods traveling from south to north. You can reach Shuangqi Town to the south, and you can eventually reach the hinterland of Dayan Kingdom all the way south.
To the north, you can pass through Jinshan Mengcheng, Heishui City, or go to Fairy City, or reach the territory of the Monster Clan. It is considered a strategic location. Because there is no danger to defend, neither the Monster Clan nor the Great Yan Kingdom built a city here.
Nanping Town is also a place where demons and humans live together. Although Tulisa is preparing to attack Mengcheng, the demons here have not turned against the humans because of this. Instead, the demons here are doing their best to help the human refugees.
"Old Elder, why do the monsters here want to help humans?" Zhao Feng asked the elder who had just gotten up. He couldn't guess the identity of this mysterious old man.
"What's so hard to guess? These small demon tribes have no intention of getting involved in the war between the two tribes. Moreover, they don't think Tulisa can capture Mengcheng. Instead, they will be in a dilemma."
"The monsters here are very smart. They have fallen out with their human neighbors who have been with them for a long time. If the Yan Kingdom comes back in the future, they will have no place to stand."
"The demon tribe is not only strong externally, but also bullies its own people. Some tribes whose strength has been greatly reduced in the civil war will be divided up, and the old, weak, sick and disabled will have to be abandoned."
"Therefore, these monsters who are willing to mix with the human race are very envious of the way of life of the people of Dayan Kingdom. They work at sunrise and rest at sunset!"
In Zhao Feng's impression, the demon clan are all heinous guys. Coming to the demon Yuan world made his understanding of the demon clan change and become more comprehensive.
"That's it!" Zhao Feng nodded, thoughtfully.
Zhao Feng and his party took an ox cart and did not enter the chaotic Nanping Town. Instead, they found a place to take shelter from the rain outside the town where there were fewer refugees.
From the northwest, a horse galloped towards me. Judging from the costume of the knight on the horse, he should be a postman responsible for delivering letters and messages.
This postman obviously came with a purpose. Soon, Zhao Feng judged that this person came to see him.
Sure enough, after the knight on the fast horse discovered Zhao Feng's presence, the knight turned his horse's head and headed straight for Zhao Feng.
Zhao Feng had excellent eyesight and could see this person's face clearly from a distance.
"This person is so popular. Could it be that he is guarded by Zou Jing?" Zhao Feng was suspicious.
The knight dressed in the Post Office came to Zhao Feng, got off his horse, walked a few steps, stood three or five steps away from Zhao Feng, and cupped his fists:
"Zou Jinglai is so reckless, sir, please forgive me!"
Zhao Feng hurriedly stood up from the fire and also clasped his fists: "Zhao Feng, a stranger, has seen Zou Zhenshou!"
Zou Jing smiled slightly: "Sir, you're welcome. This time Zou Jing comes not as a guard, but as a fellow member to meet with you!"
After listening to Zou Jing's words, Zhao Feng looked carefully and realized that Zou Jing was actually a warrior who had reached the middle level of cultivation. However, based on his cultivation, he could not tell whether the opponent was from the legal system or the warrior system.
"Senior Zou, what advice can you give me this time?"
"Senior, I dare not take this seriously. Zou Jing and Mr. Zou are of the same generation!"
As Zou Jing said this, he moved a stone and sat across the fire from Zhao Feng. The old man turned a blind eye to Zou Jing, while he drank and grilled meat.
"Sir, if you stumbled into this place by mistake, you must want to go back, right?" Zou Jing got straight to the topic.
"Exactly!" Zhao Feng was not secretive.
"Zou heard that if he wants to leave here, he must hunt the Minotaur!"
"How credible is this rumor?" Zhao Feng asked.
"To be honest, the teleportation array in Dayan Kingdom has been destroyed and cannot be repaired. If you want to leave here, you can only use the teleportation array in the hands of the demon clan."
Zhao Feng was very smart. He thought about Zou Jing's identity and guessed that Zou Jing was up to something big this time.
"After killing the Taurus, will your next step be to plot against the entire demon clan?" Zhao Feng only asked tentatively.
"That's not the case." Zou Jing took out a map and threw it to Zhao Feng: "This is a map of the main areas within the Monster Clan. As far as Zou knows, there are other races appearing east of the core area of the Monster Clan."
"So Zou wants to turn the war with the monster clan into friendship, but he doesn't know if he can realize it in his lifetime!"
A look of compassion appeared on Zou Jing's face, and Zhao Feng looked a little dazed. After a moment, he thought in his mind:
"Who is this person? Why do you care about the future of the Monster Clan and Dayan Kingdom?"
Suddenly, Zhao Feng had a sudden thought: "Is it possible that this person is the royal family of the Yan Kingdom and is using this to seek the throne?"
Zhao Feng's guess was a little off, but it was quite accurate. In fact, Zou Jing was the previous emperor of the Yan Kingdom - Ji Chen.
Due to some changes, Ji Chen had no choice but to fake his death and leave the imperial city...
