223 The Flames of War in the City of Wengang

Just as the Flowing Fire was calmly arranging the reception in the hall, at the top of a watchtower in the upper corner of the hall, Shi Zhongxing was standing there carefully observing the movement in the hall.

Shi Zhongxing has been standing there all morning, from the farce of the morning to the present. From the top of the tower, you can see the situation inside through the windows of the hall, and although it is far away, Shi Zhongxing's strong strength can still hear every word inside.

It was only when he saw the order issued by the flowing fire that Shi Zhongxing let out a long sigh and soothed the shock in his heart.

The Flowing Fire is amazing, judging from his demeanor and his tone, the Flowing Fire is now completely in control. The little calculation in everyone's hearts did not escape the eyes of the fire.

"Lao Liu, how did you educate Liuhuo? Could it be that Liuhuo was born with a superior position? Could it be that Liuhuo is a descendant of some royal family? There is such a gene in your blood?"

The more Shi Zhongxing thought about it, the more he sighed, now Liuhuo is only in his 30s, and he is still a teenager in the eyes of the awakened, but this mature mentality is already impressive.

In the long life of the awakened, the cultivation time will account for more than half, which causes the awakened to learn knowledge and the human heart of the world, which is much slower than that of mortals.

30-year-old mortals are basically very mature, and even many of them have become middle and low-level officials. But the 30-year-old awakened, their mentality is no different from that of a teenager in his 20s.

Impulsive, irritable, not good at thinking, to say that it sounds good is called vigorous, to say that it is difficult to say that this is a silly boy.

But today's performance of the fire surprised Shi Zhongxing. This child showed an unusually mature attitude, and in an instant, he was able to see the essence of the matter clearly and make the best response.

Even Shi Zhongxing himself, before the age of 40, may not have such a calm character.

Shi Zhongxing was sighing, but he didn't know how many famous teachers Liuhuo had been instructed by over the years, not only Liu Lao, but also Liu Lao's old monsters who were not born often.

In addition, he daydreamed that he would tell history books to Liuhuo every day, and from time to time he had to think about how to use money to block the enemy with half a tael of gold.

The flow of fire that must be done in person, and the accumulated knowledge is not only massive, which is simply unimaginable for Shi Meng and Hou Wen.

There is nothing else, for diligence.

Just as the Drift Fire had arranged the pick-up work, when the people in the hall were about to go down and start the work, another Skywalker suddenly ran from outside the hall.

"Report to my lord, the avalanche has been cleared, the direct death toll is 1,002, and the number of injured is more than 3,000, and now the army has simply eaten dry food and is marching towards the vast city..."

"Due to the damage of many bulky equipment, the army is lightly armed, and it is expected to reach the Vast City this evening..."

"Ahh

There was a lot of noise in the hall, and everyone was startled by the information that followed.

"Miracle, miracle... With only a little more than a thousand dead and a small number of injured out of 40,000, aren't you experiencing an avalanche?"

"The adults joked, of course it was an avalanche, when the whole valley was covered with snow and ice, and everyone was buried. The next day, we measured that the average depth of the snow in this collapse was 3 meters, so why wasn't it an avalanche?"

"And how the hell did you escape?"

"At the moment when the avalanche rushed to the camp, a strict tortoiseshell formation was formed in units of 100 people, relying on collective strength to resist the impact of the avalanche, and the remaining air in the tortoiseshell array was enough for us to escape after the avalanche stopped. ”

At this point, everyone suddenly realized, and while relieved, they were also terrified by the Black Iron Soldier's keen reflexes.

"Flowing fire, how did you train as a soldier? In the event of an attack at midnight, you can put on the armor of the whole army at the fastest speed, and you can also form a tortoiseshell formation to resist avalanches in the face of danger? You... What kind of soldier are you training in?"

Liuhuo's eyes were like water, looking at Hou Wen who was asking, and he didn't say anything.

On the same day, the entire vast city began to prepare to welcome these reinforcements from afar, whether it was a military camp or a supply of grain and grass, including all kinds of forage, torches and other common materials for the army, they had to prepare a new set.

There was no way, the avalanche had swallowed up all the supplies carried by the Black Iron Legion, and it would take at least seven days for the snow to melt.

It was a busy day until the evening when the supplies were fully deployed, and by this time, the vanguard of the Black Iron Legion had already passed through the north gate of the Vast City and walked out of the snow-capped mountain pass.

The army passed through the mountain pass one after another, and it was busy until midnight. And Hou Wen's secret report on the flow of fire that night scared the flow fire stupidly at once.

"What are you talking about? Brother Zhongli is in danger now? Don't miss the specific situation..."

After Yang Fan finished talking about the matter, Liuhuo didn't have time to say goodbye to his woman, simply packed his bags, rushed out of the mountain pass overnight, and went straight to Chu State, and at the same time Liuhuo was followed by 300 elite Skywalkers.

Before leaving, he only left a sentence: "Rest for three days, and then return to Dawang City one after another..."

Just as the flowing fire was passing through the snowy mountains, thousands of miles away, in the northwest of the distant Zhongzhou continent, in Wengang, the capital of the Sanyin Kingdom, a lonely man was standing in front of the window, without saying a word, his face full of melancholy.

How can Zhongli not be depressed, in Wengang City, a prosperous commercial port in the past, there is no prosperity now, and the rest is a depression.

The San'in Imperial Palace was built on top of a cliff overlooking the sea, and the sky-blue stone palace was the residence of King Lin Miao, which was the highest point in the entire Wengang City, where you could overlook the beautiful scenery of the whole Wengang.

Every night, King Lin Miao went to rest after admiring the lights of thousands of homes in Foggy Harbor. This habit has never changed.

However, Zhongli knew that King Lin Miao could no longer enjoy the beautiful scenery of the foggy harbor recently, and he was now unconscious, and it had been more than three months.

The poisoned and unconscious king seemed to be certain to die, and it was only a matter of time.

"Lord, it's good that you're asleep, and there is nothing to see in Wengang City now. There's nothing left but killing and death..."

At this time, a middle-aged man came in from outside the house, walked up to General Zhongli and saluted with one hand, "Report to the general, the fifth and sixth squads of Black Iron have just attacked the enemy camp, pulled out a stronghold, beheaded 40 and wounded an awakened person..."

It was none other than the poisonous knife Liu who secretly attacked Liuhuo back then, and was later subdued by Liuhuo and sent to General Zhongli in Wengang City.

Originally, Liuhuo wanted to find a place for the poisonous knife Liu and them, hoping that the remote Wengang would allow the poisonous knife Liu to escape the pursuit of the Li family, but the poisonous knife Liu was a very righteous person, and he didn't take it big at all when he arrived in Wengang, and he didn't have the arrogance of ordinary awakened people at all.

In Wengang City, Poison Knife Liu and General Zhongli get along very well, and Poison Knife Liu regards himself as a subordinate, and has made great contributions to General Zhongli's campaign for more than ten years.

Zhongli looked at his old friend and said with a smile, "There are no outsiders here, you and I are brothers, just be commensurate, don't be a general..."

Poison Knife Liu nodded and sat beside Zhongli, "Big brother, in the evening, Prince Lin Feng sent someone to inquire again, I want to know when our reinforcements will arrive, and now this stalemate depends on whose reinforcements are faster..."

Zhongli pondered the current situation carefully, and his heart was extremely upset. Of course, he knew the current situation, the crown prince Lin Feng supported by him, and the second prince Lin Yuan, who was supported by the Yu family, had now divided Wengang City into two.

The east half near the harbor was composed of 20,000 city defenders under Lin Yuan, and although 30,000 field elites under his own command occupied the west city, it still became such a stalemate.

There's no way, although we have a lot of people, we can't stand the Awakened in charge, if it weren't for the hundreds of black iron soldiers in our hands who can fight against the Awakened, I'm afraid we would have been driven out of Wengang City by now.

The stalemate has been going on for three months, and so far there has been no progress.

Both sides know that now is the time to fight for endurance, and whoever has reinforcements first will win. Controlling the outlet of Wengang to the sea is to control the economic lifeline of the entire Sanyin country and even the eastern country.

Originally, General Zhongli's power in the military was extremely strong, and most of the field corps in various parts of the Sanyin Kingdom were under his orders, and the rest also remained neutral, which was originally a stable victory, but everything was destroyed by these awakened people.

When more than 100,000 elite field regiments in the border area were preparing to march to Wengang City to quell the chaos, an accident happened. More than a dozen awakened members of the Jade Family, turned into assassins in the dark, and burned all the military rations with a fire. What's even more ruthless is that these people actually attacked the official warehouses of various states and counties.

In just ten days, seventy percent of the grain reserves in San'in Kingdom were all destroyed. The army was cut off all of a sudden, how could it be fought, there was no way to even guarantee the march, and it could only be held on to the death in the barracks.

"Brother, I also want to have reinforcements, but now that most of our military rations have been destroyed, how can we transfer troops without food and grass?"

"So, is there any news from Peishui's side? I can't count on the field corps, we still have Lord Liuhuo to rely on, if we take the sea route, now it's smooth sailing, it is estimated that we will be able to arrive in a month..."

Zhongli frowned tightly and said, "A month, I'm afraid that the reinforcements of the Yu family can also rush over, it is only a month and a half from the Chu State Cavalry Regiment to Wengang by bypassing the prairie, if the Yu family sends some more awakened people, then the speed will be even faster."

"What's worse is that our Wengang now has not much food reserves, and now even the soldiers are rationed, and we are really powerless for the people in the city..."

The situation is so grim that the poisonous knife Liu is not unclear, just on the way to the general's mansion, he has collected more than ten starvation corpses.

Due to the war, the granaries on the outskirts of Wengang have been burned clean by the Awakened. What is even more cruel is that under the influence of the war, not a single boat has been launched in Wengang for three months, and the once thriving fishing industry has completely come to a standstill.

If you don't die in battle, you will be starved to death.
