Chapter 68: Defending the City

86_86259 Behind him, many helpless generals on the city wall heard the movement below and hurriedly ran to the edge of the city wall to look down, and when they saw Qianyi smiling and a fire illuminating the convincing look around him, he was also a little speechless.

This is a world where the strong are respected, and the status of cultivators in this continent is extremely high, not to mention that now that three such young cultivators appear in their jurisdiction, how can they not surprise these generals.

Sure enough, the generals on the city wall above had solemn expressions and came to the three of them surrounded by a group of guards.

"Why are a few young heroes here?" The black-armored general led by him is also a decent person from the point of view of appearance, with thick eyebrows and thick lips, but at this moment, it seems that all of these people are sluggish and their eyes are bloodshot, needless to say, Mu Feng also knows that these people have probably not closed their eyes for several days.

Seeing this group of generals appear, Mu Feng also waved his hand lightly towards Qianyi, who also snapped his fingers to extinguish the flames that were beating at his fingertips.

Look at these soldiers beside him, without exception, all of them look extremely haggard, the horn outside the city still comes from time to time, every time the horn sounds, these soldiers are trembling and hurriedly look towards the city tower, these soldiers on the city tower are also nervous after a moment to determine the enemy and attack and wave their hands to the people below.

"General, we are waiting to go down the mountain in the name of the teacher, just for the stability of the people in the world, and now that the soldiers are in the city, we are willing to stand up and strive to resolve this disaster."

Qian Yi glanced at Mu Feng and Siyin, and then arched his hand to the black-armored general in front of him and replied seriously.

"How many of you mean you're willing to help us defend the city?"

Qian Yi's words made the generals in front of him feel extremely surprised, and they were talking to each other at the moment, and after a while, the black-armored general asked tentatively.

"Of course, for the peace of the people in the city, we should do some small part." Qianyi smiled sincerely.

"Dare to ask where the three young heroes come from?"

The three of them glanced at each other, and Qianyi pretended to be suspicious and looked into the distance, "This ~ Shimen has a life, we can't reveal it, please forgive me"

Hearing Qianyi's explanation, Mu Feng looked at him with a shocked expression, this kid is too good at fooling, and then look at the generals on the other side who are still convinced.

I have to say that the status of cultivators in this continent is really high, in other words, if it were an ordinary three young people who came here, they were afraid that they would have been driven away long ago, not to mention that these generals in front of them could still talk to them with a pleasant face.

"Dare to ask how the three young heroes plan to help us?" Several generals didn't have the slightest doubt about Qianyi's answer, after all, they were not cultivators, and they didn't know some rules about the Immortal Gate.

"Don't call us a young man, just call me Qianyi, he is Mu Feng, this is Siyin. The two of them are so much better than me! ”

Qian Yi smiled lightly and waved his hand, pointing to Mu Feng and Siyin on the side.

"Well, the three young heroes can take the peace of the world as their own responsibility, and the future will be limitless. In that case, how about you wait for me to go up to the castle tower and then discuss? The leader nodded, turned to the three of them and made a gesture of please.

Ascending the tall city tower, looking at the dense and endless fire in the dark night in front of them, Qianyi and Siyin both gasped, and the tense and depressing atmosphere on the city wall made both of them feel a little uncomfortable, but Mu Feng's expression was solemn and carefully stopped and looked at for a long time before following these generals into the inner hall of the city tower under the urging of Qianyi.

"Three of you, please see, now that my Falling Rock City is surrounded by enemies on three sides, nearly 60,000 troops in the West Night are besieging me, which is really a bit tricky!" The leader took off his jet-black helmet, revealing a messy and somewhat stinky hair, it was obvious that this guy hadn't washed for a long time, and his face was also full of stubble and looked a little sloppy.

"Fortunately, the north gate is a stretch of mountains, which is not conducive to the garrison of the army, but you can get a steady stream of supplies from the natural barrier of the deep mountains, so you won't be trapped to death."

Mu Feng stretched out his hand and carefully studied this simple map for a while, and after a while, he also came to his own conclusion.

"Yes, even if the retreat route is blocked, the food and grass in our city will be enough for us to eat for three or five months!" An adjutant nodded in agreement with Mu Feng's opinion.

"So much?" Qianyi was surprised. There are nearly 100,000 people in the city, and 100,000 people can eat for three or five months.

"Although the border cities are not prosperous enough and sparsely populated, they have always served as a supply point for wars, and the army will also serve as the last supply point for them to leave the empire's sphere of influence. So it's no surprise that so many supplies are stored here! ”

Mu Feng smiled slightly and glanced at Qianyi before explaining.

Mu Feng's explanation suddenly not only made Qian Yi Mao pause, but also surprised many generals beside him, it was a little unbelievable that a child who looked seventeen or eighteen years old could have such experience and insights.

Of course, they don't know Mu Feng's nickname, if they know that Mu Feng is a rare general who worships the moon in a hundred years, they are afraid that they will immediately worship him as the main general!

"How many defenders are there in the city at this moment? When will reinforcements arrive? Mu Feng didn't care about the same gaze of everyone around him, looked at the master general in front of him and asked softly.

"Twelve thousand, the city lord went out of the city to ask for help the day before yesterday and has not returned yet." The Lord replied in a deep voice, his eyes full of worry.

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the hall also fell into silence, the atmosphere became a little depressing, and the sound of strong horns in the camp of the enemy army on the opposite side made everyone extremely irritable.

With only 12,000 to fight against the tens of thousands of morale-boosting Western Night troops in front of them, the difficulty can be imagined. Qianyi and Siyin both set their eyes on Mu Feng, because they knew that these people in front of them were helpless, and Mu Feng would definitely be able to come up with a solution!

"Why is it only 12,000?"

Mu Feng thought for a moment and asked with some doubts, according to the scale of this city, the garrison is usually around 30,000 people, why is there only 12,000 here?

"To tell you the truth, half a month ago, the two cities of Huangshi and Tongcheng were attacked, and the city lord personally led 20,000 elite soldiers to the rescue, but it was too late, and the 20,000 elite soldiers were less than 5,000 when they returned from the ambush. The day before yesterday, the city lord led 3,000 cavalry out of the city to ask for help, so now there are only these defenders in this rockfall city! ”

The Lord furrowed his brow and let out a soft sigh, then replied with a few taps of his dirty fingers on the other two cities next to Falling Rock City on the map.

"Well, who's the enemy commander?" Mu Feng nodded thoughtfully and asked softly.

In the face of Mu Feng's inquiry, several generals around him were at a loss, and they kept shaking their heads after looking at each other, which made Mu Feng feel a little unhappy, knowing that the other side could not be defeated in a hundred battles, these people had been fighting with people for so long, and they didn't even know who the other party's leader was.

"Well, the top priority is to let the army rest well, and leave some people on duty to keep an eye on them at night."

Seeing them like this, Mu Feng also smiled bitterly.

"Rest? The enemy army is about to attack the city, how can the army rest? ”

As soon as Mu Feng's words came out, several generals beside him immediately disagreed.

"Hehe, how many days have you not closed your eyes? Even if they attack the city at this moment, can you still fight? Mu Feng shrugged his shoulders, looking at these people with bloodshot eyes and pale faces, he can fight five on weekdays, and now it is estimated that one is enough to fight, and it is useless to hold on to this.

"What if they attack the city?" The leader asked with a worried face.

"Don't worry, we're here." Mu Feng smiled lightly and glanced at Qianyi and Siyin beside him, with them, they should still be able to play a little role, especially now that Siyin has almost recovered.

"Truth be told, I can't fully trust you!" A general bowed his hand to Mu Feng and said respectfully, from beginning to end, this group of people thought that they were cultivators like Qianyi and Siyin, so they also respected themselves very much.

"Alright then, you guys come out and have a look!"

Mu Feng had no choice but to take this group of generals out of the hall of the city tower, standing on the edge of the city wall, looking at the dense Western Night army in front of him.

"The smoke was everywhere, and judging from the torches, their whole column was not neat but a little chaotic, and it was by no means a phenomenon that should have existed before the attack, it was obvious that they were making a fire for cooking, and blowing the horn was just to attack the heart and disturb the position of our army."

Mu Feng's explanation made the generals beside him also dumbfounded, and they all had an epiphany, and they all seemed angry, you must know that they have been in high tension for several days!

"Heart-attacking?" Qianyi asked with some confusion.

"The horn represents the charge and the attack, and they are obviously trying to wait for their work, and the frequent blowing of the horn is to make us tired of coping, and we can't figure out the reality, and when these people are so tired that they can't hold on and let their guard down, they will start to really attack."

Mu Feng's eyes converged and explained softly, and at the same time, he also felt a little confused in his heart, casually arranging a few people to blow the horn day and night, can make the tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians here stay tense and dare not relax, if this continues, these people will be defeated sooner or later without a fight, and the commander of the opposite West Night is also a talent!

"Pass the order, rest the army on the spot, and leave a part of the people responsible for monitoring their every move!"

The black-armored general standing beside Mu Feng finally figured it out after Mu Feng said this, and even gave orders to several generals beside him!

"Just in case, Qianyi, Siyin, you two go to Dongcheng and Xicheng to check on respectively, it's best to find out how many Xiye troops there are on these two sides. I'll leave it to me here! ”。
