The Northern Desert cavalry has been famous all over the world since ancient times.

Their war horses are taller and stronger than those of Dongzhou, and their physique is similar to that of the war cattle of the Sanchuan Kingdom. Even if you are equipped with heavier armor, you can still far surpass the countries of the Eastern Continent in terms of endurance and speed.

If it weren't for the bear riders of the Thousand Thunder Kingdom, the leopard riders of the Tianwu Kingdom, the tiger riders of the Xia Kingdom, and the wolf riders of the Shu Kingdom stationed in the north of the Ji Dynasty, perhaps the world would be different today.

The Sa Department that once dominated the Northern Desert shook the universe with the Burning Plains Iron Horse. Their war horses are known for being "cold-blooded and fearless", and even against the strongest beast of the Ji Dynasty at that time, the Xia Kingdom Blood Tiger, they can fight back and forth.

It was also out of fear of the Sabe Liaoyuan Iron Cavalry that Emperor Ji Chu finally listened to the advice of his henchmen, and accepted the Sabe barbarian king Asaranti as the "Ji Dynasty Horse" with the "strategy of recruiting peace", and secretly supported the "Ten Marquis of the Northern Desert" who were defeated by Asaranti, that is, the ten strongest tribes except for the Sabu, to check and balance the Sabu.

As a result, Emperor Ji's plan was used by the Black Heaven Sect, so there was the "Rebellion of the Ten Marquis of the Northern Desert". The once invincible Sabe Burning Plains Iron Rider also turned into the dust of history in the burning of black flames.

Today's Sabe Iron Rider is called "Shuofeng". Although it is not as good as the Liaoyuan Iron Rider of the year, it is known for its extreme speed and endurance. The war horses of the Shuofeng Iron Rider did not have the strong physique of the Liaoyuan Iron Horse, so they could not be equipped with body-wrapped armor, but these war horses inherited the "cold-blooded fearlessness" of the Liaoyuan Iron Horse. This allowed Yun Fan to be able to fight against the Thousand Thunder Country Bear Rider in the future, so that there would not be no cavalry to use.

Right now, in the Luoxia Mansion in the middle of the night, Gu Yina, Xin Zaima, Akzati and Yun Fan looked at the war sand table in front of them and came to a stalemate.

Akzati, Gu Yina, and Sinzaima were all very opposed to Yun Fan's raid on Liuyun City at this time, but everyone's reasons for opposing were different.

Gu Yina believes that at present, the movement of the Thousand Thunder Kingdom is unknown, and the Dongji countries have not yet made a big move on this, if Yun Fan carries out a surprise attack on Liuyun City at this time, it is very likely to destroy the foundation of the "Bright Moon Alliance".

So, Guyna's advice is to wait. During this period, what Yun Fan needs to do is to visit and greet all forces within the Su Kingdom, and then further consolidate the "Bright Moon Alliance".

Akzati believes that Yun Fan plans to take 8,000 Shuofeng Iron Cavalry and 30,000 Frost Swords to attack Liuyun City, and does not plan to bring Mingguang Armor, this idea is too dangerous and does not conform to the art of war.

At this moment, there are about 20,000 purple-feathered night crows in Liuyun City.

As a "True Chiyan Warrior" who once fought the world with Emperor Mu Jing, Akzati remembers that more than 600 years ago, he once heard Mu Jing say: "If you want to take a city, under normal circumstances, you must have at least five times the strength of the army defending the city." With five times the number of troops, you can't rashly attack the city, you have to surround it first and wait for the opportunity. You can't attack a city unless you have ten times as many troops defending it. And it has to be matched with the corresponding siege equipment, such as ladders, ramsticks, nest towers, linchong and flying bridges. ”

In other words, if Yun Fan wants to take Liuyun City at this moment, he must have at least 100,000 soldiers and horses plus the corresponding siege equipment. And now there are not many siege equipment in Bright Moon City, and it will take half a month to build it now.

Without the corresponding siege equipment and the absolute number of people, Yun Fan wanted to take advantage of the "suspicious strategy" of the Thousand Thunder Kingdom to take risks, Akzat did not think that Yun Fan was gambling, but dreaming.

In contrast, Sinzaima thinks more simply. The Frost Sword's combat power was too weak, and she was afraid that she would be held back by then. In fact, a siege is not the same as looting. Sinzaima grew up in the Northern Desert, unlike Akzati and Guina, who lived for a thousand years, so it is not clear what the siege between the countries of Dongzhou looks like.

In her opinion, at present, the prince wants to seize this rare opportunity to recapture Liuyun City, which is occupied by the Mo Kingdom, as quickly as possible before it is discovered by the world, and then control the next war with the Thousand Thunder Kingdom around Liuyun City, and not let the Thousand Thunder Kingdom besiege Mingyue City at that time, just like the soldiers of the Mo Kingdom came to Mingyue City half a year ago.

Yun Fan himself actually knows it.

If you want to recapture Liuyun City at this time, the most important thing is to grab time and speed. Just as it is inferred that the Xiji Thousand Thunder Kingdom, which should have appeared around October 24, will appear three days in advance, only one step ahead can seize the opportunity and catch the enemy by surprise!

However, a siege is not the same as a field battle.

Previously, the reason why Yun Fan was able to quickly win some Star City was mainly due to strategy and luck. Luck accounts for the majority of this. Yun Fan didn't expect that he could take the gate of Star City so easily.

As the place of the five wars, there are a total of twenty gates in the east, west, north and south directions, with five layers of gates in each direction. However, due to the weakness of the Mexican garrison and the carelessness of the garrison, coupled with the gap between the handover of the garrison army, Yun Fan successfully captured the four city gates, and relied on the "Heavenly Longitudinal Teeth" to break the last gate.

First of all, the walls of most of the cities in the northern regions of Jibei are about nine meters at the bottom, and the thickness is about seven to eight meters. The city wall of Dianxing City is 12 meters high, 15 to 18 meters wide at the bottom, 14 kilometers in circumference, divided into two layers of inner wall wall and outer city wall, five city gates in each direction, each layer of city wall will have a city tower every 130 meters, the periphery is equipped with a heavy crossbow platform to kill the enemy, and the inner wall is equipped with trebuchets to break the momentum.

The space between the inner and outer walls formed an urn city, and once the gates were closed, the besieging enemy army would be like a turtle in an urn, either waiting to die or surrendering.

When Yun Fan attacked Star City at night, he didn't have any siege equipment. After taking the city gate with his wits and luck, he caught the Mexican defenders by surprise as quickly as possible. In addition, most of the Mingguang armor is at the peak of the ninth order, and it is well-equipped to fight with ordinary mid-order martial artists, while the white-feathered night crow defending the city is only in the early eighth order.

The momentum of the bamboo, coupled with the fact that the Mexican army did not have a general scheduling arrangement that could suppress the scene at that time, enabled Yun Fan to recapture Dianxing City by luck and capture more than 10,000 Mexican soldiers with 2,000 armor of Mingguang armor.

However, later historians often argued about the battle in Yunfan Star City. Most people thought that Yun Fan must have relied excessively on the power of the "Heavenly Vertical Teeth" to take over the Star City. Otherwise, it would be too "joking" to take down the 10,000-person garrisoned Star City with only 2,000 armor armor. A few people hold the "strategy" and "luck" just mentioned, as well as the "carelessness" of the Mexican defenders.

Therefore, in a conventional siege battle, it is more practical to take the city gate than to hit the city wall, and after taking the city gate, the army will get better passability. Of course, siege warfare will certainly not say that it is a two-pronged battle to attack the city gate without climbing the city wall with siege equipment, so in this era, the most difficult battle is the siege battle.

It was difficult for later historians to imagine how Yun Fan relied on two thousand bright light armor to take down the easy-to-defend and difficult-to-attack Dianxing City, and did not lose a single armor. They had no way to explain it, so in the end, they all attributed the main reason for the loss of the Mo Kingdom to the "Heavenly Vertical Teeth" in Yun Fan's hands. This also invisibly adds a lot of legendary colors to the past of "Tianlongya".

To get back to the point, after experiencing the loss of Dian Star City, it is impossible for the Mexican Kingdom that has passed so many days without being vigilant and vigilant against the changes that may occur next. In addition, there are only more than 10,000 people left in the Blood Feather Night Crow of the Mo Kingdom, and they are gathering towards the two cities of Liuyun and Yaoguang in the process.

If Yun Fan wants to take down Liuyun City like he did when he captured Dian Star City before, unless he is bringing the war bear of the Thousand Thunder Country. Or, he could make good use of the lava slasher he had captured from the invading forces of the Thousand Thunder Nation the other day.

Gu Yina saw Yun Fan's thoughts: "No!"

Yun Fan sighed and said, "If I let the Chiyan warriors take these lava slashing knives and equip our Shuofeng War Horses to open the way, what do you say will happen then? Liuyun City is not the structure of Urn City, there is only a city wall and a city gate, and it is easy to break through." ”

Gu Yina: "With the weight of Chiyan's battle armor, the war horse of the Shuofeng Iron Rider can't bear it. From Liuyun City to Mingyue City, the road is far away, if the Thousand Thunder Kingdom suddenly counterattacks, whether it is to surround Mingyue City or intercept and kill the prince, it is impossible for us to choose to sit still, and the situation will be very passive at that time. ”

Yun Fan said nostalgically: "You say, how powerful did the war horses of the Sa Department have to be when they were still 'Burning Plains Fire', and if they are paired with Chiyan warriors, wouldn't they have to sweep the entire world?"

When Akzat was told by Yun Fan, he suddenly said with some sadness: "O prince, the past cannot be traced! Let's still guard Mingyue City and wait and see what happens!"

Sinzaima echoed: "Prince, just listen to our advice! Don't let all your hard-won advantages go to waste!"

Yun Fan looked at everyone, his eyes turned to Liuyun City on the war sand table, and sighed: "Alas, if Yin is here now, he will definitely support my decision."

At this moment, a series of strange sounds came from the roof.

"Who?"

Akzati and Sinzaima spoke in unison, and immediately pulled out the knife at his waist, his expression was serious, and he did not hide the murderous intent in his heart. And Yun Fan and Gu Yina made eye contact at this time: "I was just talking about him, and this appeared?"

Gu Yina: "Maybe I've been listening for a long time. ”

As he spoke, a thin man slowly descended from the roof. He wore a mask that half covered his face, and his whole body was covered with scars from the sword, and the broken armor made people feel a little frightened. When Akzati and Sinzaima saw him, they immediately lowered their weapons and then stepped forward to give him a hug, but he easily dodged him.

"I'm covered in injuries now, don't touch me if you're fine!" When listening to Yin's words, Yun Fan always felt like a child. If you hadn't seen his terrifying skills when you first met, Yin's height, body and voice could indeed disguise him as a child.

"Where have you been all this time. Looking at Yin who suddenly returned, Yun Fan said with concern, "What's the matter with these injuries on his body?"

"Little things, don't worry about it. It's all cutaneous trauma. Yin smiled, then found a place to sit down for the time being and continued, "The analysis of the prince and Mr. Jun just now is reasonable, but at present, the target of the Xiji Thousand Thunder Kingdom is still Yaoguang City. The reason why they suddenly hid their tracks was actually so that we and the other vassal states in Jibei would not dare to harm them at this time. ”

Yun Fan frowned: "How did you get this information?"

Yin sighed: "The camp of the army of the Thousand Thunder Country." ”

Akzati and Sinzaima were directly stunned when they heard this, and Gu Yina wondered: "Haven't you been active in Bright Moon City during this time?"

Hidden: "Ever since I accidentally learned the news that the Xiji Thousand Thunder Country was about to enter the country when I was lurking in the Frost Sword, I have been secretly watching this matter. Later, I talked about the footprints of the bears who came to stir up trouble, and chased them all the way to their large army. ”

Gu Yina looked at these injuries on the hidden body: "These injuries were all from you in the military camp of the Thousand Thunder Country?"

Yin nodded, and then said: "Considering that the Mexican people are full of hatred and fear for the prince now, if the prince goes to attack, he will definitely be resisted to the death by the Mexican people. Therefore, after Lei Che captured Yaoguang City, he would persuade Liuyun City to surrender on the grounds of 'letting the people of the Mo country return'. ”

Gu Yina listened and hesitated. At this moment, the injuries on the hidden body made her a little worried that the news obtained by the "hidden" might have been deliberately released by Lei Che. But after thinking about it, no matter whether Lei Che wants to take Liuyun City or not, he will have to take Yaoguang first in the end.

Therefore, as long as Yun Fan can break through Liuyun City before Lei Che takes Yaoguang City, the war between the Shu Kingdom and the Thousand Thunder Kingdom will be suppressed between Liuyun City and Yaoguang City. Then, Mingyue City will naturally be spared from war, and Gu Yina can also shift more energy into city defense construction to the big macro layout.

Yin: "Right now, it is indeed the best time to take Liuyun City, but Your Majesty hopes that the prince can be fully prepared to take this step." In view of the performance of the prince when he was in Star City, it is inevitable that there will be a death battle in Liuyun City in the future. ”

Looking at the injured Yin, Yun Fan said with some distress: "You go down to rest first, I will seriously consider your suggestion, and I won't let your blood flow in vain." ”

After listening to it, he bowed and waved his hands and retreated.

Originally, Yun Fan had hoped to recall Yin before departure, and then send Yin to lurk in Liuyun City, and then join forces inside and outside, but now it seems that it may not work.

While thinking about it, Yun Fan's gaze turned to look at Gu Yina. But seeing Gu Yina at this time, she avoided Yun Fan's gaze, and silently looked at the war sand table in front of her, silent.

When Liu Feng's soul woke up, Lu Weiwen was beside him to activate his muscles and bones and adjust his breath. At first, he thought he was in Lu Yuan, until he saw his brother Liu Fengchen and his father Liu Su sitting not far away.

At that time, Liu Fengsoul thought to himself, could it be that they had come to Lu Yuan to see him? As a result, the scenery around him in the afterglow made him gradually realize that he was not in Lu Yuan. After thinking about it, Liu Feng's soul and Lu Weiwen's eyes touched: "Sir, where am I?"

Lu Weiwen: "You are in your own home now." ”

Liu Feng's soul: "Home?"

Between the words, Lu Weiwen was sure that Liu Feng's soul was fine, so he turned around and said goodbye to Liu Su. When leaving, looking at Lu Weiwen's back, Liu Fengsoul was surprised to find that Lu Weiwen was actually wearing his Liu robe.

Subsequently, Liu Su didn't know what to say to Liu Fengchen, and Liu Fengchen also retreated with Lu Weiwen's footsteps that had not yet gone away. So in the spacious room, only Liu Su and Liu Fengsoul were left.

At this moment, Liu Fengsoul felt a little groggy.

Maybe it's because I've slept for too long.

Looking at the overwhelming snow outside the window, Liu Fengsoul looked at Liu Su with gray temples in front of him suspiciously: "How long have I slept like this?"

Liu Su took a sip of tea and replied to him: "It has been nearly ten days since I came back. ”

Liu Feng's soul: "Why does Mr. Lu appear in Liu's Mansion now, and he is still wearing Liu's mink fur? ”

Liu Su: "Lu Weiwen is now my student. ”

Liu Fengsoul was surprised: "What are you kidding?"

Liu Su: "Do you think I'm a joker?" ”

Liu Fengsoul didn't pay attention to Liu Su's words, but got up and staggered to sit down in front of Liu Su, and poured himself a cup of tea to refresh himself. In silence, Liu Su looked at the wounds on Liu Feng's body with concern and asked, "Are those wounds still painful now?"

Liu Fengsoul: "It has nothing to do with you. ”

Liu Su: "Did Lian Mu hurt you?"

Liu Fengsoul: "He doesn't have that ability yet." ”

Liu Su: "But when you talk to him, you lose." ”

Liu Fengsoul smiled: "That time was just an accident. ”

Liu Su frowned, not wanting to argue with Liu Feng's soul, so he turned to say: "If it wasn't Lian Mu who injured you, then who would it be?"

Liu Fengsoul thought carefully, but as a result, he couldn't think of anything, as if the memories of that time had been emptied, except for nothingness, only nothingness. He stroked his forehead and sighed: "There are too many things that have happened during this time, and I will not remember it for a while." ”

Liu Su looked at Liu Feng's eyes and was silent.

At this time, I heard Liu Fengsoul ask, "By the way, how did you persuade Mr. Lu to become your student?"

Liu Su recalled: "I played a game of chess with him. ”

Liu Fengsoul: "And then?"

"Then I won. Liu Su paused and continued, "After that, I agreed with him that until he won me, he would always be my student and take care of many inconvenient things for me, so that your eldest brother could free up his hands to do more important things." ”

Liu Fengsoul sneered: "Where are you accepting him as a student, it's clear that you are just treating others as errands!"

Between the words, Liu Su's gaze turned to the flying snow outside the window: "Right now, the great enemy is present, and the clan in the country should share the same hatred and overcome the difficulties together. ”

Liu Fengsoul said curiously: "I almost forgot to ask, hey, Liu Su! What happened in the country during the time I was in a coma? Did I miss a lot of interesting things?"

Looking at the childish Liu Fengsoul, Liu Su patted him on the shoulder, and was not angry because he called his name: "Rest assured to transfer your body, don't think about these things that don't matter to you." ”

"Why doesn't it matter?" Between the words, Liu Feng's emotions were a little excited, "The rise and fall of the country is the responsibility of the husband!"

Liu Su got up and prepared to leave. Before leaving, he said lightly to Liu Feng's soul: "If you remember who injured you like this, let someone tell me as soon as possible." ”

Liu Fengsoul looked at Liu Su's back suspiciously: "What do you want to do?"

Liu Su said coldly: "I will kill that person." ”

Outside the courtyard, Liu Fengchen, who was in a hurry, caught up with Lu Weiwen, who was about to leave: "Master Lu, please stay." ”

Lu Wei turned around when he heard the sound, and saw that it was Liu Fengchen, the eldest son of the Liu family, so he waved his hand and said to him: "Is there anything wrong, Fengchen Gongzi." ”

Liu Fengchen smiled faintly, and turned his eyes to the snow in the sky: "It's not a big deal, the snow can't stop for a while and a half, Fengchen wants to ask Mr. Lu to find a secluded place to drink a few glasses of spirits to warm up, and chat by the way, I don't know if Mr. Lu has time." ”

But I heard Lu Weiwen politely refused: "Thank you for the kindness of the prince of Fengchen, but there are still important matters that have not been dealt with today, if the son does not give up, he will visit in person if he does not hear about it another day." ”

Liu Fengchen said regretfully: "If that's the case, forget it, the snow outside is so heavy, why don't I give Mr. a ride." ”

Lu Weiwen waved his hand politely: "Then there is Lao Gongzi." ”

Liu Fengchen smiled heartily: "You're polite." ”
