On the top of Mingyue City, which had been promoted to a third-level small city, Zhang Zhao and Xiang Fu stood on the city wall and looked at the group of besieging grass robbers who suddenly appeared below with a serious face.

"Lord Zhang, there are no grass thieves near our Mingyue City for a long time, I think this is because someone wants to test whether the knife of our Mingyue City is sharp, so he pretended to use the name of the rogue to carry out this siege and land grabbing!" Looking at the grass coward who was orderly in the advance and retreat below, and had also withdrawn from the rear with a few small catapults, Xiang Fu said with a disdainful face.

Zhang Zhao on the side just smiled silently, and the smile on his face would definitely feel cold if it was seen by others. Regarding Xiang Fu's words, Zhang Zhao said very agreeably: "Now there is only one bandit in the whole world, and the lord used military power to deter the yellow turbans in Lou County and the surrounding areas a while ago. It is reasonable to think about this siege like this, isn't General Xiang also looking forward to it? ”

Feeling that Zhang Zhao saw through his smile, Xiang Fu touched his head embarrassedly and said, "Lord Zhang, the lord explained before leaving, if Mingyue City encounters a war, everything will be based on you!" Just say, how are we going to fight this battle? ”

Before Xu Yang rushed to the aid of Haiyan County, he had explained that once Mingyue City fell into war, then Zhang Zhao would coordinate the overall situation, including Gao Chong in Lou County, and he would also obey his dispatch. This is also an order issued by Xu Yang in combination with Zhang Zhao's main and characteristic characteristics, which can greatly improve the combat ability of the territory in the war. For this order, even Gao Chong, the most powerful in Bright Moon City, has no opinion, let alone Xiang Fu, whose strength is slightly inferior.

"Let's see what the enemy has to do first!" Zhang Zhao looked at the rogue who was preparing to attack the city below and said, "This wave of enemies should be here to test our strength, so that they can't touch the truth!" General Xiang also went to prepare, once the enemy climbed the city wall, then give them a surprise, if they can't even climb the city wall, then we will spend it with them, I don't think the supply of this army is as much as the grain stored in our Mingyue City......"

When it came to the grain storage in Mingyue City, Xiang Fu couldn't help but purse his lips. If you want to explain how much grain and grass reserves there are in Yuecheng, he also knows a little. Nearly half a year's grain production in Bright Moon City was used as a reserve, and their lord also purchased grain from outside. Xiang Fu was still a little puzzled before, but when the Yellow Turban Uprising swept the world, Xiang Fu really silently praised the decision of the lord.

What's more important is that the grain production of Mingyue City is blessed by Zhang Zhao and another NPC with a talent for production, it can be said that the output is twice as much as that of other places, and the food reserves under such a high yield are not to mention the following "rogues" who don't look very good, even if the Yellow Turban army comes, Xiang Fu is confident that he will consume the other party to death under Mingyue City!

"Okay, the last general will go and order the Praetorian Guard troops, as long as the enemy climbs the wall of Mingyue City, the last general will ensure that they will not return!" After Xiang Fu finished speaking, he returned to the military camp of Mingyue City and began to mobilize the exclusive troops that Xu Yang allocated to him, the Praetorian Guard, which was also the first special unit in Xu Yang's hands.

The current Praetorian Guard has a quota of 50,000, including 20,000 soldiers of the eighth order and 30,000 soldiers of the seventh order. Such a force will inevitably play an extremely powerful role in the defense of the city, and of course Zhang Zhao did not intend to expose this force at the first time.

The battle soon began, and under the suppression of the enemy's catapults, the sixth-order city guards on Mingyue City even gave up their bows and arrows to suppress the opponent, only throwing a large amount of fire oil and rolling wood when the enemy approached the position of the city gate.

The grass commander below seemed to see this situation as well, and simply used the catapult to suppress the archers on Mingyue City, and began to organize troops to use cloud ladders to enter the city to fight. It's not that this commander is so strong, it's that the walls of Mingyue City have been piled up with thunder stones and rolling logs into a natural obstacle, and his troops must first remove these things if they want to break through the city gate. But will the enemies on the walls give themselves this chance? Obviously, he didn't think Mingyue City had such good intentions.

With the dispatch of the ladder, the guards of Bright Moon City, who were suppressed by the catapult, could only watch as the enemy's ladder was set up on their walls. The subsequent delivery of the push rod (which several soldiers used to push the ladder through the wall) was also long overdue, because by this time the thieves had already killed the city wall.

Seeing these thieves slaughtered on the city wall, a silver light suddenly erupted from Zhang Zhao's body, which immediately enveloped all the city guards. The originally weak city guard troops were like tigers out of the gate in an instant, looking at the thieves who climbed the city wall one by one, like a wicked man who had been hungry and thirsty for months looking at the beauty of Chiguoguo. When the knife fell, the thief who had just boarded Mingyue City was caught off guard by this sudden outburst, and several cloud ladders were pushed away from the city wall for a while......

"That's not enough! Send out the elite brothers, remember not to reveal your identity! The commander of the thief's side looked at the sudden outbreak of combat power on Mingyue City, and a long-awaited smile appeared on his face and he ordered.

With this order, the siege force of these thieves gradually underwent some changes. Originally, it took fifty breaths to rush from the main formation to Mingyue City, but after this order, the personnel of each squad were secretly replaced, and the speed of charging to the city wall became more than thirty breaths, such an improvement did not come from the slack defense of Mingyue City - because from the beginning, Mingyue City did not cause long-range suppression within a limited attack range, but the siege of the city became stronger!

Xiang Fu, who was hiding behind the city wall, soon discovered this situation, and a smile of expectation appeared on his face, and he couldn't hide the excitement in his heart and whispered: "Hehe, it seems that these guys are not very good, and they started to play other cards when they encountered a little difficulty." Brothers, get ready to go up and harvest corn! ”

In the rear of Xiang Fu, a group of Praetorian Guards had already been waiting for Xiang Fu's order, and they would directly kill this group of thieves who dared to trample on Mingyue City when they waited for Xiang Fu's order!

The change of elite troops on the bandit side did not turn the tide of the battle at the first time, but first firmly set up a few ladders, and then the sharp knife troops stood firm on the city wall, expanded a clearing of more than 20 square meters, and then began to wait for the arrival of reinforcements. When the number of thieves reached more than a dozen, these thieves showed well-trained combat ability. More than a dozen people cooperated with each other, and the steady advance faintly overwhelmed the city guards, but they did not kill these city guards in a big way.

I have to say that this army is very smart, and when it is not clear how many garrisons there are in Mingyue City, this method of pulling meat with a slow knife is very effective. Because the guards who approached them would be more or less exhausted from the ongoing battle, it would be much easier to face some tired opponents than to face the energetic and angry city guards behind them. And as the troops in front are constantly suppressed and retreat, even if the troops in the back have the opportunity to replace one or two, they will be killed or seriously injured......

The rhythm of the battle seemed to return to the side of the thieves besieging the city, and in the blink of an eye, the city wall of Mingyue City was seized in several places, and the most serious section of the city wall had been killed by the enemy at a distance of nearly 100 meters. The enemy below even set up two more ladders within this 100 meters to facilitate more troops to enter the city to fight.

Rumble!

There was an extremely shocking explosion, and a powerful force suddenly erupted from the walls of Bright Moon City. As soon as Xiang Fu's spear came out, a self-comprehended big move was thrown directly at the team of thieves who killed the most fiercely, and the flesh and blood flew for a while!

The Praetorian Guards behind him took advantage of this gap to directly replace the original city guards and began to engage these thieves in close combat. In just a few dozen breaths, as the elite Han Praetorian Guards commanded by Xiang Fu joined the battle, the situation on the city wall changed again. The thieves who had already occupied many of the city walls were all killed, and the thieves who climbed the ladder were pushed directly by the long push rod before they reached the city wall, and they fell to death or injury......

"That's not too difficult, isn't it?" Looking at the thieves who were cleaned up by the Praetorian Guards like chopping melons and vegetables, Xiang Fu's tone was full of a sense of loss.

Originally, he thought that this battle would be a little difficult, at least he could have a relationship with his own Praetorian Guard, so that his elite troops could also see blood and grow up, but Xiang Fu, this kind of army that would be finished with a single cut, didn't think that they could train their own Praetorian Guard.

"General Xiang, Lord Zhang ordered us to withdraw from the battle!" A Praetorian Guard hurriedly ran to Xiang Fu's side from the rear and reported.

Regarding this expected news, Xiang Fu directly glanced at the battlefield, and immediately withdrew from the city wall with his troops after finding that there were no decent opponents.

As a wave of elite troops was wiped out, the thieves below only sent a large number of cannon fodder to attack the city, but they often couldn't pose a little threat to Mingyue City.

The battle continued until dark, and the thieves, perhaps tired of the fight, found a lot of tents out of nowhere and began to set up camp. had already known that the enemy was a Yellow Turban unit in the name of thieves, but Zhang Zhao and Xiang Fu showed a happy smile.

"Lord Zhang, I have arranged for the Praetorian Guards to keep vigil in batches tonight, and let them quietly lie in ambush at different locations on the city wall to prevent the enemy from attacking at night. Do you see anything else to look out for? Xiang Fu asked Zhang Zhao with a smile on his face.

Although he didn't have a good time fighting during the day, Xiang Fu knew that the safety of Mingyue City was at stake, and he couldn't tolerate the slightest willfulness. Moreover, Zhang Zhao was still the supreme commander appointed by the lord before leaving, and he still retained twelve points of nervousness about this sudden attack on the city by thieves.

Zhang Zhao showed a happy smile on his face, and said: "There are brothers of the Praetorian Guard on the city wall to help defend the city, and night is not a good time to attack the city, so it should be safe." But if I don't give some gifts to the enemy on this good night, I feel a little sorry for these well-disguised yellow ......."

Hearing Zhang Zhao's words, Xiang Fu's face showed a happy smile, because he knew that he had a task to do tonight. Dealing with those thieves outside, Xiang Fu definitely raised his hands and feet in favor!

That night, the thief army outside Mingyue City took advantage of the dark night to ignore that a large basket was placed on the wall of Mingyue City. It was none other than General Xiang Fu in the basket. Soon after the basket landed, a large number of bats flew out of Mingyue City, these bats reflected the moonlight and gave people a strange atmosphere, but this fleeting beauty was not noticed by the thieves outside Mingyue City.

At the fourth watch, the rear of this army of thieves suddenly erupted into fierce battles. With bursts of metal crashing sounds, shouts of killing, and bursts of poignant and treacherous killing atmosphere, people feel as if they have entered the Nine Hells.

"Run, it's a hell demon......"

"We've the demons, those bat demons...... They're horrible......"

"Ah...... Don't kill me, bat...... ...... everywhere"

An atmosphere of terror erupted among the soldiers in the rear, and soon the fear spread throughout the camp. And when the commander of this army suppressed some of the deserters with the elite in his hands and began to collect the rout, he found that the battle in the rear was no longer sound.

Grabbing a fleeing soldier casually, the commander asked angrily: "Say, who attacked the rear of our army just now!" ”

The deserter had already lost six souls that had already been frightened by the battle situation that broke out in the rear, and after seeing the commander, he only said tremblingly: "Your Excellency...... There are youkai in the rear...... Bat Monster ...... It's horrible......"

Poof!

The spear stabbed the deserter to death, and several soldiers were captured again, from which the commander roughly drew a conclusion. That is, the number of troops who sneaked into the rear of their camp was not large, armed with dark green swords, a gray armor, and more importantly, those guys seemed to be bats, and they flew directly into the camp and began to kill. After realizing that the large army was awakened, he immediately turned into bats and flew away.

"The number of patrols in the camp has been doubled, and the rest of the people have all set up camp close to the main village, and found that the bats were disperse......d with torches," the commander thought for a moment and immediately ordered.

Since the enemy has retreated, it means that this is the method of disturbing the enemy with a night attack in Bright Moon City. No matter how weird that force is, as long as it is a force, there will be weaknesses, and all he has to do now is to expose the enemy's weaknesses through more battles!

By cleaning up the battle, the commander was surprised to find that although the rear troops who were attacked were shouting and killing and there were a large number of deserters, when the death toll was really counted, only a few dozen people were killed. Such a figure further confirms the commander's thoughts, this unit is only here to harass the enemy, and there is no combat effectiveness at all.

The battle on the fourth watch continued until the east turned white, and the strange troops in Bright Moon City never reappeared, which made the commander's hanging heart relax a lot. Perhaps out of fear of the unknown, he felt a little uneasy after the strange army appeared, but the day was no better than the night, which not only gave him a chance to attack the city for a hundred days, but also made him think about how to deal with that strange army......

In the meeting hall of Mingyue City, looking at Xiang Fu who came back from the dust, Zhang Zhao asked with a smile on his face: "How is it, is everything still going well?" ”

In fact, he knew that just by looking at Xiang Fu's happy appearance, he knew that things were much smoother than he imagined.

"Haha, it went very well! It seems that we don't need to know Mr. Victor at all when we defend the city this time, this trump card of ours alone is enough for the enemy to drink a pot! Xiang Fu's laughter was so hearty, he couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart when he thought of the way the enemy was crushed by last night's sneak attack.

Zhang Zhao nodded with satisfaction, and then said: "Then we will use this trump card for a few more days, and finally it will be up to the enemy to deal with it......

So, both of them showed a wicked smile, and only they knew why only a few dozen people died in the attack camp in the battle last night......

On the other hand, in the Yellow Turban camp outside Rose City.

Tianquan looked at the few generals below with an unkind face, there were players and NPCs, and such a group of people didn't dare to speak in the face of the angry Tianquan.

After half a ring, it was Tianquan who took the lead in speaking: "I will endure the rebellion of those peripheral players, after all, there will always be some peripheral players who will be rebelled in the union war." The cavalry that came out of Rose City, I also used the Yellow Turban Warrior to contain it! Although the rebellion in the rear was not handled very well, it was finally suppressed by the ......"

Hearing this, the crowd below all lowered their heads, because he clearly remembered that last night's battle had been under their control all along. Including the special force with swords and the elite cavalry force of 20,000 people, even the player forces killed in Rose City were all suppressed by them. Until the end, a small force with seven men of sharp knives appeared......

"Now, which of you is going to tell me who those seven guys are? Where did they come from? Could it be that our seven-winged intelligence organization does not have the shadow of these seven people at all? Are all the guys in your heads used to eat? ”

Facing the furious Tianquan, Feng Longyi, who was in charge of intelligence, said with a pale face: "Lord Tianquan...... Based on our intelligence analysis...... That group of people was a group of small unions that called themselves Xudu, and this union was supposed to ...... It's only second-rate, so it's not within the scope of our intelligence collection......"

"Second-rate unions?" Hearing Feng Longyi's report, Tianquan roared angrily, "The president of a second-rate trade union, with his six junior brothers and some miscellaneous soldiers, can he directly smash Huanglong to kill our grain and grass village, and leave with great fanfare after lighting a fire?" Tell me, which second-rate union can do this? Don't excuse your incompetence with these unconvincing reasons, go back and gather news for me about this drunken capital......"

Feng Longyi heard the amnesty, and immediately left the main camp to investigate the news called Xudu, and the people who stayed behind couldn't help but marvel at the strength of the people who suddenly killed the Xudu people last night. A tall leader held a war knife to open the way, and the weapons used by the six people in the rear were also different, but they were all strong in their skills, and they were like entering the army as if they were in a no-man's land......
