The black-armored army, densely packed like a swarm of ants, surged toward the white city of Bianzhou ahead like a flood.
Ladders were put up one after another on the city wall, and many soldiers from the vanguard battalion climbed up like apes and rushed to the top of the city.
"Li Tong of Bianzhou is a man born with different blood and extremely powerful. He is one of the few generals in the Yuan Kingdom who knows both military affairs and civil administration."
"It's a pity that he comes from a chaotic religious background. Although he is diligent in governing with civil and military skills, he has few capable people under his command, and it is difficult to support him alone."
The black flag with a huge Wu character tattooed on it was constantly fluttering and making a hunting sound in the strong wind.
Under the black flag, there is a dark front of the cavalry phalanx.
A black-armored general who looked like a hill, with a pair of meteorite-like meteor hammers at his feet.
The meteor hammer is connected with a chain as thick as an arm, and the remaining chains are wrapped around the black-armored general.
He didn't ride a horse, but he was taller than the other black knights riding around him.
This person is Tang Yan, the general of Wu State.
His face was hidden under the thick black helmet, and his expression could not be seen clearly. He was watching the siege battle in the distance while listening to the words of the military advisor beside him.
"Xiangcheng is an important place in Bianzhou, and Li Tong personally led the army to guard it. If we follow what the military adviser said, how should we arrange the city after it is broken?"
"General, why didn't you give Li Tong a chance to surrender when he was out of power?" An old man with white hair on the side chuckled and held a feather fan.
"Military advisor means...fighting general?" Tang Yan understood immediately.
"Exactly." The old man nodded, "Now Li Tong is surrounded by enemies. He was defeated by our army several times before and suffered heavy losses. If the general gives him a chance and promises that if he can win the battle, he will retreat. Regardless of whether it is true or not, he will definitely
Take the bait."
"Furthermore, Li Tong is the soul of the rebellious army and has deep prestige. If he is defeated face to face, even if Li Tong is unwilling to surrender, his military morale will definitely be shattered, and any further attack on the city will inevitably reduce the damage."
"Three, Li Tong must have no hope at this time and doesn't know how to deal with himself. If the general promises to give him preferential treatment, and then promises that the generals under his command will also receive preferential treatment, then..." The military advisor did not continue what he said, but
The meaning is obvious enough.
"Indeed, now is a good time to recruit and surrender. However, the national commander has ordered that all resources of the Yuan Kingdom must be confiscated. All soldiers and warriors must be surrendered as slaves. Even if Li Tong is accepted, it will be difficult to treat him favorably..."
There is no so-called martial arts world in the Wu Kingdom. The king suppresses everything and the generals are invincible.
The army has unified fighting training, and its strength is far from that of Dayuan Neng, who has been weak for many years.
Regarding the chaotic situation in the Yuan Kingdom, they would not allow any martial arts sect to occupy various resources.
"This is also simple." The military advisor smiled, "Let him feel at ease first, and then use it to counterattack the entire Yuan Kingdom in the future. There will be plenty of territory and resources as gifts."

It's getting late.
Many residents of Huibai Town were let go one after another, went home, packed up their belongings, and fled towards nearby towns.
This White Skull robbery eliminated their last chance of luck and let them know that if they didn't leave, they would be dead.
Gray Cedar Town was finally completely reduced to a dead end.
Wei He, on the other hand, left the town with the Song Shixiong brothers in doubt. Also leaving with him were the White Skeleton and other bandits.
Since he has spent time controlling these bandits, he will not waste his poisonous efforts and must maximize their benefits as much as possible.
Now he is no longer the leader of the Ten Thousand Poison Sect. At that time, he was in a barren mountain. In the Black House Mountains where poisons could be found everywhere, he naturally had inexhaustible resources. But now it is not so convenient for him to synthesize poisons.
Moreover, poison is not omnipotent. To poison a warrior, a minimum dose is required.
Although Wei He used the poisonous power of his own Zhengfa Jue as a substitute, half of the consumption was saved.
But the toxicity of Zhengfa Jue requires him to find poison reserves from outside, because he does not have the ability to generate poison himself.
The poisons in Jinli are all poisons collected from the outside world and integrated into the body.
Use a little and dilute a little.
In order to recycle the waste, Wei He ordered the White Skull group to disperse on the surrounding desolate plains.
They will serve as secret informants, keeping an eye on various movements in this area at all times.
This place is adjacent to the Wu army and the rebel army. With such a group of people here, leaving it to the control of the masters can also generate a lot of free labor.
The most important thing is that you don’t need money, and it doesn’t matter if you die.
After obtaining the Mingyue Whale Map, Wei He asked people to find another small border town nearby.
Here, he taught Song Shixiong a complete set of Tianyinmen foundation-building martial arts - the Locking Heart Seal.
This set of seals, if practiced to a deep level, can generate its own strength, and can reach the highest level of the third level of blood.
Moreover, the basic strength generated by these three bloods is completely compatible with the nine techniques of Tianyin Nine Strikes True Technique.
This is the best foundation-building technique for Tianyin Sect.
It involves a lot of Taoist concepts and thoughts, has little violence, and is most suitable for building foundations for people.
And since they have taught martial arts, the picture of the bright moon and the whale has naturally been proven to be true.
After Song Shixiong mixed the potion and applied it, the real picture appeared, and Wei He could see at a glance that there was another mystery hidden in the picture.
Although nothing can be seen for a while, just looking at the picture, the Whale Hongjue blood sac in his body squirmed inexplicably, as if it had received some kind of special stimulation.
This also made him completely sure that this picture was the picture of the bright moon and the whale that he had been looking for for many years, and it was also the key to his breakthrough to the third level.
Hidden on this picture is the key to the so-called whale's breath state.
Wei He stayed in another town for half a month, taught the complete Heart Lock Seal to the Song Shixiong brothers, and gave them some money before he quietly left with the picture.
After that, other subordinates will escort them to a safe place.
After getting the picture, Wei He went home and started practicing hard day and night.
Time flies in the blink of an eye, and winter is coming to an end.
Inside Weifang City.
In front of the gate of a large house, white paper money was scattered, and inside the gate there were Taoists chanting sutras to save the souls of the dead.
In the courtyard, a group of people lined up quietly with their hands tied with black gauze and entered the back room to worship.
A realistic portrait of the Nine Shadows was hung quietly in the middle of the main hall of the back room. There were incense burners and offerings in front of it.
Yuan Bao was sitting on his knees with a dull look on his face. Every time someone came, he would return the favor blankly.
Not long after, a burly young man walked slowly into the door.
The man's skin is fair and delicate, and although his facial features are ordinary, he has an inexplicable power.
His steps are steady and vigorous, and you can tell at a glance that he has practiced martial arts.
It's just that among the people present, there are quite a few martial arts practitioners. There is nothing to be concerned about.
The man wore a pure white brocade robe and black-horned wolf leather boots, and he was followed by two equally burly men.
This person is none other than Wei He who came over after hearing the news.
He looked at the portraits of the Nine Shadows hanging on the high platform and felt a little sad in his heart.
This old guy has been holding on for so many years, but this time he finally comes for real.
If you say die, die.
What makes him strange is that Jiuying's popularity was only average when he was alive, but now, looking around, except for some of his subordinates from the Wandu Sect, most of the others are people he doesn't know.
Among them were merchants, farmers, blacksmiths, pharmacists, and even military officials.
There are various professions.
The unified reason for these people to worship is that they have received life-saving grace from Jiuying before.
As for whether it is true or not, that is up to the beholder.
However, Wei Merger did not delve into it in detail.
When he entered the door, he had already seen the little girl next door to Lin Lin talking quietly in front of several old men.
Several people were particularly affectionate towards him, with an atmosphere of elders taking care of younger ones. It was obvious that this was not the first time they had met.
"Uncle Jiu, you have deserved your death. There are so many people seeing you off, and there are good apprentices who can pass down the craftsmanship to you. When you get down there, take care of yourself." Wei He looked at the portrait and muttered softly.
His external identity is that of a retired military general who has a close friendship with Jiuying. The two of them play chess and become friends. There are many things that he cannot explain clearly, so naturally he can only say some clichés.
But only Wei He himself knew that his mood at this time was true and not as insincere as the cliché.
When leaving the mourning hall, Wei He saw a middle-aged woman in the yard and raised her eyes to look at him.
The woman had a majestic aura and was obviously someone who had been in a position of power for a long time. When she saw Wei He, she just nodded slightly and seemed to have some goodwill towards him.
Wei He glanced at the three people guarding this person. From such a close distance, he could capture the person's strong heartbeat, breathing, and surging blood.
These three people are at least martial artist level.
In other words, based on physical fitness alone, one can judge that these three people have reached the martial arts stage.
When a martial artist practices strength, he or she will also strengthen and train himself a little.
Although there are not many such enhancements, Wei He has seen more now, and can gradually distinguish what stage the strength reaches and what characteristics it will have.
Of course, this kind of discrimination is limited to ordinary exercises and ordinary strength. He cannot identify some people who practice special strength.
Seeing the other party's kindness, Wei He just nodded in return.
He didn't want to get involved with the forces behind Jiuying. These people were hidden deeper than him and the work they did was definitely more dangerous than him.
He is just an ordinary person living an ordinary life and does not want to be disturbed in his quiet and comfortable life.
Now his strength is stuck in the realm of Zang training, and he needs a long period of free time to practice and strengthen the five Zang organs for the future.
But he didn't want to have contact with the other party, but the other party didn't think so.
"You are Mr. Chen, right? Can you take a step to speak?" A middle-aged man on one side said with a strong momentum and seemed to be the leader.
He took a step forward and said in a deep voice, his eyes fixed on Wei He.
"Sorry, I happen to have something urgent and I'm in a hurry." Wei He said calmly. "Besides, I'm not interested in your affairs, so please don't bother me."
He just made it clear.
This group of people had obviously cut off their path after Jiu Ying's death, so they wanted to contact him directly to resume the path.
But unfortunately, Wei He had no interest in getting involved with them.
The middle-aged man was choked and had nothing to say. He could only watch Wei He turn around and leave with his men.
After leaving the gate, Wei He got into the carriage and ordered the driver to leave quickly.
He gently rubbed the back of his left hand.
"The next step is to understand the whale breath state and completely open up the left hand's super sense..."
The danger of super-sensibility may be extremely high, so he planned to break through the Jing Hong Jue before practicing.
