Volume 44 (Section 5)

Xu Haiguang took the spear with both hands and said: "Thanks to the impermanence brothers, your association has relieved us at a critical moment, sniping Wanshunguo's pursuers, and my brothers and I are willing to join your association and advance and retreat together!"

Haotian was overjoyed, and immediately took Xu Haiguang's hand and went to the master of ceremonies hall of the Jianghu Heroes Association, and introduced him to the etiquette of joining the club. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

A few days later, the Jianghu Heroes Association military master Xu shopkeeper, the left envoy Li Guangping, the right envoy Yuan Bo, the sword light and sword shadow hall master Lin Ping, the happy enmity hall master Hu Mengguang, the chivalrous tenderness hall master Ouyang Luoxue, the wandering Tianya hall master Li Qing, the immediately horizontal knife hall master Hong Tiejun, a group of veterans in the association and Xu Haiguang's deputy general Li Rui and others gathered in the helmsman master of ceremonies hall to open a new hall for the president!

After the ceremony, Haotian appointed Xu Haiguang as the newly opened "Yi Bo Yun Heaven" hall master, Hao Tian handed over a key area on Xiangyun Mountain to Xu Haiguang, the existing people in the area were transferred from the original church, and Xu Haiguang's headquarters were merged, and after the merger, there were about 1,300 people to form the congregation of Yi Bo Yun Heaven.

Then Haotian invited everyone to have a banquet at the helm of the tuyere for three days, and the heroes were thunderous, drinking wine and eating meat, chic and happy. Xu Haiguang sent someone to pick up his wife and other family members to Xiangyun Mountain, and the family finally reunited, hugged each other tightly, and enjoyed the taste of happiness.

Besides, the Wanshun army that pursued Xu Haiguang was repelled by the heroes of Haotian in Xiangyun Mountain, and a large number of casualties were killed.

Zhang Chu was shocked and angry, but he didn't dare to send troops to attack the mountain, he discussed countermeasures with Qian Sheng, Qian Sheng said: "This Jianghu group of heroes is known as the world's largest gang, there are tens of thousands of people, the headquarters in Xiangyun Mountain relies on natural dangers to hold, after the previous two battles, we also touched their strength, it seems that these guys are not weak in combat." If we don't calm down today, if we provoke them, I'm afraid it's going to be bad. For the sake of today's plan, we will ignore them for the time being, but first break through the Twin Snake City in the north, firmly control the northeast line of the Twin Snake City, Feiyue City and Kaiyuan City, and then enter Wuji City in the west after gaining a firm foothold, and finally take the old nest of the king of Wuji Country Hua Kaicheng, when we win the world, there are no worries, and then we can focus on exterminating these bandits, which is the best policy!"

Zhang Chu said: "There are generals who have strategized and don't worry about big things not being accomplished! The last general commanded indiscriminately, causing many sergeants to be killed and wounded, please punish the general!"

Qian Sheng shook his head lightly and said, "It's okay to fight first, don't you know the strength of the other party?" This account will be hung on their heads first, and when we win the world, we will settle accounts with them!"

Zhang Chu listened to the relief in his heart, and discussed with Qian Sheng the plan to attack the Double Snake City for a while, and then retreated.

A few days later, Zhang Chu led 70,000 troops north to attack Twin Snake City, and Qian Sheng and Long Wu led the remaining army to garrison Feiyue City. Qian Sheng governed the army strictly, and did not slaughter the people of Wuji Country after breaking Feiyue City, while Xu Haiguang stubbornly defended Feiyue City and ended up being betrayed by Shangfeng. At this time, Yuan Wu had died of illness, and the defender of the Double Snake City was called Jiang Tianfan, he naturally knew the above situation, he knew that the Double Snake City was difficult to hold, and as soon as Zhang Chu's army arrived, he symbolically led the army to surrender after a little resistance.

Although Jiang Tianfan opened the city gate, he told Zhang Chu that there was still a force in the port of Double Snake City that had not surrendered. It turned out that the king of Wuji Kingdom allocated a huge amount of money to greatly increase the turrets and large arrow towers in the port of Double Snake City, strengthen the military fortifications and increase the troops, although this army was in the Double Snake City, but the main generals Han Chao and Jiang Tianfan were of the same level and did not obey Jiang Tianfan's orders.

Han Chao is the confidant of the king of Wuji Kingdom, and when he gets the news of Zhang Chu's army, he is determined to resist to the end even if he is martyred. Jiang Tianfan is not as loyal as Han Chao, he just wants to save the lives of his family, he promised Han Chao to defend against the enemy on the surface, but behind his back, he had already made plans.

In order to assist Jiang Tianfan in resisting Zhang Chu's army, Han Chao also divided some soldiers and horses to help him defend the city, and he led the remaining men and horses to prepare for resistance to the enemy in military fortifications such as turrets and large arrow towers in the port.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Tianfan was bent on surrendering, and secretly arranged for his subordinates to play a strategy to disarm and tie up all the men and horses sent by Han Chao to assist him, and he gave all these people to Zhang Chu after opening the city gate.

Zhang Chu had also heard about the fact that the king of Wuji Kingdom had allocated a huge amount of money to greatly increase the turrets, large arrow towers and additional troops in the port of Twin Snake City, but he couldn't understand why the king of Wuji Kingdom wanted to strengthen his military power in the coastal ports. You must know that Wuji Kingdom and Wanshun Kingdom can be described as needle-to-needle, and it takes a lot of money to engage in an arms race, but at this juncture, the king of Wuji Kingdom has sprinkled a lot of money into the port of Double Snake City, which can't help but surprise people!

Zhang Chu was curious about this matter, so he asked Jiang Tianfan, who knew that Jiang Tianfan was not clear, Zhang Chu asked Han Chao how many men and horses were left, the number and distribution of military fortifications such as turrets and large arrow towers in the port, and other information, Jiang Tianfan knew all about these and said it in detail.

Zhang Chu made a targeted attack plan after understanding it clearly, but the military fortifications deployed by the king of Wuji Kingdom in the port of Double Snake City this time were very powerful, even in the case of fighting more and less, knowing himself and the enemy, Zhang Chu still spent three days and three nights, and paid a lot of casualties before finally capturing the port, and Han Chao committed suicide after the defeat.

Zhang Chu completely captured the Double Snake City and incorporated Jiang Tianfan and his troops. In the two battles of taking Feiyue City and Double Snake City in succession, Qian Sheng's army lost a total of more than 70,000 people, he left Long Wu to lead 50,000 people to garrison Feiyue City, and another fierce general Huang Yuan led 20,000 horses to garrison Double Snake City. About two weeks later, the reinforcements that Qiao Meng, the king of Wanshun Kingdom, had given him, and he gathered a total of 150,000 soldiers and horses to prepare to march west and attack Wuji City.

On this day, the wind was beautiful, and Qian Sheng took Zhang Chu and other generals to gather 150,000 horses and horses and marched towards Wuji City. At this time, the defenders of Wuji City had increased to 100,000 people, and the defender of Wuji City at this time was Lu Yun, who had already set up a position and was waiting for Qian Sheng's army to come to battle.

After the two armies met, Lu Yun rode out with a mountain axe in his hand and shouted, "Old Qian Sheng, do you dare to come to fight with my grandfather?"

Qian Sheng said angrily: "Kill you and other yellow-haired boys, why do you need me to go out!"

Zhang Chu, who was beside him, understood and rushed towards Lu Yun, who shouted loudly when he saw this: "Who is coming? Grandpa will not kill the nameless, so as not to insult his reputation!"

Zhang Chu was furious and shouted: "Don't talk nonsense, today next year is your sacrifice day, look at the sword!"

The fight between the two was very fierce, and they fought dozens of rounds without a winner. The two of them were frightened, and they both felt that the opponent's martial arts were not weak. After more than 30 rounds of fighting, Lu Yun gradually played an advantage, killing Zhang Chu was already in danger, and the drummers of Wuji Kingdom saw that their main general was about to win, so they stepped up their drumming and cheering, and the soldiers also shouted to the sky.
