Chapter 51: On the eve of the Great War
In the first year of Zichu, in late spring, Chu Feifan drove his first personal expedition, and since then, the fate of Zichu has undergone earth-shaking changes in his hands.
In the Ziwei Imperial City, Chu Feifan was wearing a golden battle armor, carrying a purple gold long sword at his waist, a black horse with a swift wind on his hips, his figure was as straight as a sword, and his cold eyes were staring ahead.
On both sides, Nangong Xi was wearing silver-white battle armor, riding a divine horse under him, Bai Ming, looking at the people of Zichu on the street with pretty eyes, and a faint sadness appeared on his cheeks. On the other side, Pan Shao'an was wearing purple-black armor, and the Netherworld Soul Chasing Horse was under him, with the Purple Gold Thunder King Hammer inserted on both sides of the horse, and Zhou's body exuded a strong killing aura.
Behind the three of them, five thousand soldiers were dressed in black armor, holding spears, battle shields, and scimitars hanging from their waists, and the five thousand people walked towards the outside of the imperial city, and the entire Ziwei Imperial City was filled with a terrifying aura of slaughter.
From a distance, the 5,000 generals who were gradually moving away were like bloodthirsty ghosts in the dark, giving people a creepy and numb scalp.
"The emperor drove the expedition in person, personally led my Zichu hot-blooded boy to protect the country and defend the land of Zichu, it seems that my Zichu is strong and promising!"
"Yes, the dragon among the new emperors, after he succeeded to the throne, he even issued several edicts to seek the welfare of the people, and it is really a blessing for the people to have this new emperor!"
"Pray that my Zichu can win this battle, and the shame of the past!"
"Whew! Swish! Swish! Swish! ”
The people in the city knelt on the ground one after another, suddenly raised their heads, looked at the top of the sky, and prayed to the heavens with sincere feelings.
"Pray for God's blessing to ensure that my new Emperor Zichu wins this battle!"
"Pray for God's blessing to ensure that my new Emperor Zichu wins this battle!"
"Pray for God's blessing to ensure that my new Emperor Zichu wins this battle!"
"Pray for God's blessing to ensure that my new Emperor Zichu wins this battle!"
............
Ten thousand people knelt on the ground and prayed, and the neat voice resounded above the top of the clouds, and Chu Feifan, who had already gone away, suddenly turned to look at the ten thousand people kneeling on the ground, and a trace of crystal clear tears appeared in his eyes.
"The hearts of the people, hope for the peace of the family and the country, only Zichu is their real home!"
Chu Feifan's expression was extremely solemn, as if there were ten thousand catties of boulders pressing on his heart, and the gaze in his cold eyes became resolute, staring at the increasingly hazy ruins of the city wall behind him.
...............
Correct.
At this time, the war in Aoki City had already spread, and the 30,000 troops of Anyang City could not be attacked several times, and the sky over Aoki City was filled with thick gunsmoke.
As far as the eye could see, there were not only soldiers in armor on the entire Aoki city wall, but also thousands of people, who were already exhausted at the moment, all leaning under the city wall to rest, blood stains running down their pale cheeks.
Under the city walls, rivers of blood flowed, corpses and broken arms were everywhere, swords, guns, swords and halberds crisscrossed the field, and the air was filled with a strong bloody atmosphere.
"General, the Fengyun Kingdom has launched three fierce attacks, and now there are not many rolling stones and driftwood available on the city wall, if they launch a fourth attack, I am afraid that the city gate will not be able to stand it."
Hearing this, a look of anger rose on Xing Tianlie's resolute cheeks, and his sword-like eyes looked at the soldiers kneeling on the ground, and turned to look up at the army of Fengyun Country outside the city.
"Without the rolling stone and flowing wood, even if all the soldiers of the Purple Forest Legion are killed, they can't let the Fengyun Kingdom break through Aoki City, the people are in the city, even if the bloody battle is until the last moment, they must not be allowed to take a step beyond the thunder pool!" Xing Tianlie looked angry, his eyes flashed with a strong murderous aura, and he said in a resolute voice.
Xing Tianlie knew in his heart that if Aoki City was lost, the Purple Chu Kingdom would no longer have a barrier to block the iron cavalry of the Fengyun Kingdom, and tens of thousands of soldiers and horses would drive straight in, and they would soon reach the Imperial City, and then the entire Purple Chu would be in danger, and it would only be a day or night to be breached.
"General Lin, how is it over there?"
"General Yu, the pressure on General Lin's East Gate is not small, and the losses are being counted!"
"Inform all the soldiers and the people to let everyone hurry up and rest, the next will be a fierce battle, I have sent an urgent military report to the emperor, I believe that the reinforcements must be on the way at this time, we must hold on until the reinforcements arrive."
Xing Tianlie said and looked to the side, and saw Lin Chong and Xing Feng striding towards him, Lin Chong was wearing black armor, holding a spear of eight snakes, his cheeks were covered with blood stains, Xing Feng was carrying a spear that was still dripping blood, and the dazzling blood on the armor was gurgling.
"General, we can't sit still, the last general is willing to take three thousand soldiers and horses out of the city and Qi Zifeng, Qi Zihu and the two will fight to the death!" Xingfeng Tiger's eyes widened, a strong look of anger appeared on his hideous cheeks, and he said in a firm voice.
"Xingfeng, the soldiers and horses of the Fengyun Country are several times that of us, and there is no way to fight head-on, I can understand your feelings, but you must not be rash. Now we don't have any advantages, and holding the city is our best choice, so that we can receive the minimum losses and at the same time maximize the consumption of the enemy's forces. ”
"Captain of the Criminal School, what the general said is reasonable, even if we want to take the initiative to attack, we have to wait until it gets dark, and if we go out now, we will undoubtedly hit the stones with eggs and bury the lives of the soldiers in vain!" Lin Chong's cold eyes flickered, and a strong murderous aura lingered on Zhou's body, and he said in a low voice.
Outside the Purple Forest City.
In Anyang City, in the ranks of the army of the Fengyun Kingdom, Qi Zihu was wearing Xuantie armor and holding a man with a double iron halberd, his expression was distorted, and his eyes flashed with a fierce gaze.
"Big brother, why stop the attack, the maximum of 10,000 defenders in Aoki City is still a group of helpless stragglers, we will definitely be able to break through the city once we storm, and then they will be the end of the crossbow, lambs to be slaughtered!"
"Zihu, do you think that Aoki City is full of combatless stragglers? We launched three onslaughts, but they were all repulsed, which is what ordinary and useless soldiers can do? ”
"Don't forget, Xing Tianlie is a general who is strict in governing the army and clever in his means, and you and he have made many moves, but you have taken advantage of him. Besides, there are not only soldiers but also common people in the city wall, and the current Aoki Castle is not what it used to be, even if we launch an attack, we can only lose more soldiers! ”
"Pass my order, the army retreats to camp in Sanli, Zihu, you take two thousand soldiers and horses to the gate of Aoki City to call for battle, as long as they dare to go out of the city, we have a chance to attack the city!"
Hearing Qi Zifeng's order, Qi Zihu's cheeks were filled with an excited smile, he raised his hand and waved the iron halberd in his hand, and rode his horse quickly towards the gate of Aoki City.
Two thousand soldiers followed closely behind Qi Zihu and rushed towards Aoki City, their iron cavalry and infantry swept by, and the dust in the sky was volleyed down like an earth dragon soaring in the void.
"All the soldiers listened to my orders, and when they arrived at the city of Aoki City, they all shouted to me vigorously, and they must shout out to Lao Tzu for these shrunken turtles, and I must cut them all down one by one."
Qi Zihu's expression was domineering, his eyes flashed with a playful gaze, and his voice shouted uncontrollably.
