Chapter 286: A Big Gamble Defend the City for Three Days
A big battle of attack and defense lasted until the early morning of the next day, but fortunately, the scale of this battle was not large, and there was no participation of the earth-level beast clan, so it would not completely lose control.
The human Xuanjian Division's side suffered more than 200 casualties, while the orc's side suffered even greater losses and returned defeated.
It seems that humans have the advantage, but in fact, it is because of the assistance of the soul sword master and the finger sword master, coupled with the convenience of the formation guard, that they can take advantage of it.
You know, the ability of the orcs to reproduce is not weaker than that of humans, and they are born to fight, far outnumbering humans in terms of the number of participants, so this loss is not trivial to them.
The orcs are better at night battles, and they firmly occupy the initiative, rarely attacking the city during the day, and generally stop the battle and retreat at this time.
The more than 500 Xuan Sword Masters of Snow Dragon Island led by Gu Zheng came to Baidi City at noon on this day, and Gu Fengran, the Triple Soul Sword Master of the Earth Elephant Realm, came with him.
Along the way, Gu Zheng also passed by the thirty-five cities in the Western Regions that now belonged to Snow Dragon Island, and saw many signs of the activities of the Tang Clan's Sword Mansion Xuanjian Master, and had some scheming in his heart, but he did not get angry or forcibly drive away.
After settling everyone on Snow Dragon Island in the city lord's mansion of Baidi City, Gu Zheng and his wife climbed the city wall together, along with Bai Feng, who was favored by Gu Fengran.
The Tang Clan's Sword Mansion was still somewhat restrained, and did not occupy the City Lord's Mansion of Baidi City, if it weren't for this, I am afraid that Gu Zheng would even erase his thoughts of going to the city to talk to him.
On the city wall that stretches for nearly a hundred miles, there will be two Tang Sword Mansion Xuanjian masters sitting in the town every other mile, all with solemn expressions and waiting for the battle.
Gu Zheng and the three of them went straight to the central city tower, ignoring the cold and bloody gaze along the way, most of these disciples were just meteorological realms, how could they deter Gu Zheng and the three of them?
Someone had already reported that outside the city tower, Tang Zhige's brothers and sisters had been waiting for a long time, but the two of them were obviously ashamed, and when they saw Gu Zheng approaching, they only showed a reluctant wry smile, and they were speechless, not knowing how to face their former friends.
"Don't blame you, take us to see Ming Lao. Gu Zheng smiled gently at the two of them and said loudly.
He already knew that the strongest person sitting here now was none other than Tang Gong Ming, a supreme elder from the Tang Clan's Sword Mansion, who was respected as Ming Elder by the elders and disciples of the Sword Mansion.
"Senior Brother Gu, I'm on your side. Tang Zhiyan seemed to have made a lot of determination, raised his head and looked at Gu Zheng, who was becoming more and more unfathomable, and said firmly.
"Brother Gu, although I can't be the master of this matter, I hope that you and I can still focus on the overall situation and make a decision after everything is done. Tang Zhige also spoke out, he understood that Gu Zheng had already seen the intentions of the Tang Clan's Sword Mansion.
"I don't have to think about it, I know what to do. Gu Zheng's smile did not change, and he also knew the difficulties of these two people.
In fact, he was not surprised that the Tang Clan's Sword Mansion coveted this place, and he did not have too much indignation.
In the final analysis, Gu Zheng didn't care much about these foreign territories, and after all, the Tang Clan's Sword Mansion had a meritorious role in suppressing the famine, and it was understandable that he had a little intention of making merit for profit.
Even, if the Tang Clan's Sword Mansion clearly said that it wanted to take control of this place, Gu Zheng could give it away. It's just that it's not so easy to steal this place in the Western Regions quietly. At the very least, you have to ask him, the new master, to do it.
Tang Gongming, who had just entered the city tower, was sitting on the futon with his eyebrows hanging down his waist, his eyes pierced like electricity, pointing directly at Gu Zheng who was the leader, and then he skipped him again, and swept to Gu Fengran, who was on Gu Zheng's side, and stopped.
"The demeanor of the old Ming has not diminished back then, and he is really old and strong. Gu Fengran looked at this old man who had grown up for several generations, and was not afraid, and punned on his words.
Old and strong, or old and treacherous? Of course, Gu Fengran would not explain clearly.
"Little girl from the ancient family, it doesn't hurt to say it directly. You don't have to beat around the bush and scold the old man, you can't scold me with such a cheeky face. Tang Gong said with a smile, not caring about Gu Fengran's cynicism at all.
Why did the Tang Clan's Sword Mansion send him Tang Gongming to guard this city? Not only because he was old and strong, but also because he never cared about his old face, and he was a good hand at taking advantage of it.
Gu Fengran can only be called a little girl in front of such elders, and there is no reason to be angry because of this, she just sneered twice, said no more, and looked at Gu Zheng. This matter should have been decided by Gu Zheng himself.
"Old Ming, the Tang Clan's Sword Mansion has taken a fancy to my region, right?" Gu Zheng didn't like to beat around the bush even more, and said bluntly.
Tang Zhige and Tang Zhiyan held their breath, they couldn't figure out the temperament of this Supreme Elder, they wouldn't turn their faces directly because of Gu Zheng's words, right?
Bai Feng even rolled her eyes, letting her little ancestor come forward to negotiate, which really made her heart tremble, and at any time gave her a feeling that she was about to burst out of the sword in the next moment.
Tang Gongming looked at Gu Zheng again, and in his eyes as deep as a cold pool, he didn't see any fluctuations, but just said coldly: "Since ancient times, there have been virtuous people living in the blessed land, and capable people occupying it, not to mention whether there is virtue or not, does Xuelong Island have the ability to defend this place?"
Gu Zheng was stared at by the other party's eyes, and he could even feel the rich experience and wisdom hidden in those eyes.
Therefore, only in the most brutal and direct way can many twists and turns be avoided, Gu Zheng said bluntly again: "Of course Xuelong Island has this ability. ”
Tang Gongming didn't look surprised, but the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, and he pushed the boat down the river and sneered: "Just with the five hundred Xuan Sword Masters of Snow Dragon Island that you brought, and a dozen or so Elephant Realm plus you two Earth Elephants?"
"Yes, just with our Snow Dragon Island, we have this ability. Gu Zheng nodded and said naturally.
Tang Zhige's brother and sister and Bai Feng were all worried in an instant, and they couldn't wait to go up and cover Gu Zheng's mouth, they had never seen such recklessness.
In this kind of response, Ming Lao only needs to drain all the disciples of the Tang Clan's Sword Mansion to make this place an empty city, with how can you defend the city with the five hundred Xuan Sword Masters of Snow Dragon Island?
If there is no Tang Sword Mansion to guard here, Baidi City will be broken in one day. Sure enough, Tang Gongming snorted coldly when he heard this, got up from the futon, and shook his sleeves.
"Whether it is wild or not, Ming Lao can wait and see. A day is too short, you and I can take a big gamble. How about three days? We don't need the Tang Sword Mansion alone, we can defend the city for three days on our own. Gu Zheng was not afraid and said-for-tat.
"If I win, the people of the Tang Clan's Sword Mansion will withdraw from other cities in the Western Regions and help defend Baidi City. If I lose, then this place will be surrendered, and Snow Dragon Island will never set foot again. Gu Zheng ignored the crazy eyes of Bai Feng and the others, and cut the railway.
"Okay, I want to see, without our Tang Clan Sword Mansion, why can you hold on for three days?" Tang Gongming laughed angrily and responded.
