Chapter 34: The War Begins
The spies in Licheng have been paying close attention to the movements of the rebels, and when they learned that the rebels did not go to the outer city but rushed in the direction of the inner city, Zhao Wen instantly had a guess in his heart that Zhao Yong or his own subordinates had a traitor, and it was obviously too late to find the traitor now.
Zhao Wen paced back and forth in the room, thinking, there were more than 10,000 rebels, and his own troops were twice as many as them, obviously the odds of victory were great, but he still had to find Zhao Yong to send reinforcements. Thinking of this, he picked up the communicator to contact Zhao Yong, but he didn't get through after waiting for a long time, and his heart kept sinking, Zhao Yong must have had an accident, so angry that he slammed the communicator on the ground.
Zhao Wen took a few breaths and called the spies to go to the outer city to investigate, if something happened to Zhao Yong, he would have to make a two-handed plan.
Xiao Heng's marching speed was not slow, in order to avoid the reconnaissance of the spies in the inner city, to give Zhao Wen a surprise, they did not go to the ground, but to go underground, after finding four more people with the ability to control the soil in the guards, the underground passage was dug overnight, and they were stationed underground dozens of miles outside the inner city, and they were waiting for Fang Xu's rebels to arrive.
In the past few days, Zheng Yifei has been synchronizing news between Fang Xu and Xiao Heng, and he felt very tired from the overnight flight, and at this time he was dozing off on the back of the spirit beast.
Shi Junben was very disdainful of Zheng Yifei, after observing in the past few days, he could use his stealth ability for a long time and fly at high speed all night, which was an extreme test of his endurance and willpower for a spirit. At this point, his perception of him gradually changed, and he was more or less useful than those spirits.
Looking at Zheng Yifei, who almost fell off the mount, Shi Jun "tsk", jumped onto the other party's mount, imprisoned him in his arms and saved him from falling, this spirit of the country will cover himself a little more in the future.
Two days later, after Fang Xu arrived at the outskirts of Licheng and stationed there, he planned to rest for a day and launch an attack on Licheng tomorrow.
The Castle Lord's Mansion
Zhao Wen got a secret report from the spies yesterday, Zhao Yong was missing, all the things in his storage room were emptied, including his guards, there was no trace, the entire city lord's mansion was empty, and there was no trace of marching on the road from the outer city to the inner city. He was up and down in his heart, where did this Zhao Yong go? Will he go to the main city, he shook his head again, feeling that it was unlikely, and his irritable heart made him unable to think calmly.
"Where are the rebels now?" Zhao Wen asked his subordinates.
"Your Excellency, Qiqi, they have been stationed in the suburbs, and it looks like they are preparing to attack after a day's rest." The subordinate said respectfully.
"Pass my order, and the chiefs shall strictly guard the gates of the city to prevent spies from opening the gates." Zhao Wen gave an order, in order to survive, he must not lose.
The outskirts of the city
"Xiao Heng, I didn't expect you to be able to transfer the soldiers and horses from the outer city, it's really yours." Fang Xu went underground to secretly meet Xiao Heng, patted him on the shoulder excitedly, and said.
"As far as I know, the number of troops in the city is twice as large as yours, and even if I add mine, there are not as many as them, do you have any plans?" Xiao Heng said flatly.
Xiao Heng is not as optimistic as Fang Xu, although most of the rebels are capable and their equipment is the same as that of Licheng, but they are all civilians who have not participated in training, if they really pick up a knife on the battlefield, they may not be able to do it, not to mention that the other party has more soldiers and horses than the rebels.
Fang Xu was immediately silent by Xiao Heng's straightforward words. He knew that Xiao Heng was not Shi Guoling, and it was already benevolent and righteous to help him like this, and the war was about to start, so they should leave with their lives, instead of asking him about his plans here.
"Xiao Heng, take your companions and leave quickly. As for the high-level ore veins, if I am alive after the battle, I will definitely help you find one, and I will never break my word. Fang Xu looked at Xiao Heng's eyes and said seriously.
"Fang Xu, you're talking nonsense, I don't think you can survive, what's the difference between this vein and playing a white strip? Okay, I can't think of a plan just by looking at you. Fang Xu's words made Xiao Heng laugh angrily, not because he knew that his personality was like this, but because he thought that this was crossing the river and demolishing the bridge.
"You tell me that each soldier should be equipped with a black cloth, listen to the order when attacking the city tomorrow, besiege the city blindfolded when the horn blows, rush into the city in the shortest possible time to kill the enemy quickly, and take it off when the eyes can't see clearly, remember that all soldiers must wear it, otherwise they will bear the consequences." Xiao Heng admonished.
"Can you win just by wearing it?" Fang Xu didn't understand what kind of strategy Xiao Heng was, and asked with a skeptical attitude.
"You can't enter the city gate without wearing it, at least you can kill some more enemies after wearing it, and it depends on your creation whether you win or not." Xiao Heng scoffed.
Fang Xu smiled immortally, thanked him and left the ground.
Xiao Heng summoned his partners and Chang Rin to come over for a meeting, tomorrow's siege will not only need these soldiers, but also everyone's cooperation.
"Zheng Yifei, how many spirits can you bring with your stealth?" Xiao Heng looked at Zheng Yifei and said.
Zheng Yifei was ashamed and said: "There can only be one, and it is very unstable"
"It's good if you can bring it, anyway, the distance is not far, you can do your best if it is stable." Xiao Heng said helplessly
Then, Xiao Heng looked at Shi Jundao. "Shi Jun, how many spirit numbers can your stealth ability cover at one time?"
Shi Jun heard Xiao Heng shouting at him, held back the excitement in his heart, and said with a red face: "I can control the range of 10 meters." ”
Xiao Heng was very satisfied with this result and said: "Very good, Zheng Yifei will transport 20 of the strongest people tomorrow and open the city gate inside the gate." ”
Secondly, Xiao Heng looked at Zhou Chen and Zheng Yifei and said: "Zheng Yifei finally took Zhou Chen to the enemy's sky to listen to my orders, when the horn sounded, Zhou Chen activated the 'Vita New Plastic Material', you try to delay the release time of the material, and fuse the material to Zheng Yifei at the zero boundary point." ”
In the end, Xiao Heng looked at Chang Rin and said, "You and the rest of the capable people will bring all the guards from the underground to outflank the city, and I don't know how to lose if I want Zhao Wen to die." Xiao Heng sneered.
Xiao Heng's careful strategic arrangement made everyone very impressed, and they were even more convinced of his comprehensive ability.
The leader of the guard relayed the arrangements for tomorrow, and then they all waited quietly for tomorrow to come.
At night, Xiao Heng pulled Liulichun to a corner, and he whispered: "Chunchun, you follow me tomorrow, do you hear?" ”
Liulichun didn't understand, he had to follow Xiao Heng when he fought tomorrow, how could he take care of this, he said angrily: "I can't do it, how can I take care of the war so chaotic." ”
Xiao Heng also knew that this requirement was difficult, if he let Liulichun and others go underground and not participate in the war, he would definitely not be willing, he sighed and said: "I'm afraid that you will be injured, I originally wanted Zhou Chen to help you get the super body up first, but there are many spirits around, and the super body can't let other spirits know, tomorrow you try to follow me as much as possible, I can protect you at critical moments, and you can also use the ability conveniently, right?" ”
Liulichun heard that it was like that, and nodded in agreement.
Xiao Heng was finally satisfied, nodded his mouth and said, "I haven't kissed it in the past few days, come and make up for it." ”
Liulichun's face was flushed, and he didn't hesitate, he pounced on it fiercely and kissed it, "Hmph" The fool doesn't take advantage of the male god.
There was no word all night, the battle was about to start, Fang Xu stood in front of the soldiers and made a pre-war declaration, the momentum of the rebels instantly rose, everyone had been preparing for so long, waiting for the moment of attacking the city.
Xiao Heng's team followed Fang Xu, the horn sounded, and the rebels slowly marched towards Licheng.
Tsune-rin and the guards attacked the city from the ground in the morning, and at the slightest command, they would burrow out of the ground and steal the enemy.
At this time, in the City Lord's Mansion, Zhao Wen received a report early in the morning that Fang Xu's rebel army had drawn out of camp and marched into the inner city, and their rebel army had not increased, and Zhao Yong's soldiers and horses had not been found within a radius of dozens of miles, which made his heart finally fall. No matter what, even if Zhao Yong's soldiers and horses are in Chang Rin's hands, he can still win the battle.
"Listen to my orders, all the guards are on standby, firmly guard the city gates, and do not allow the rebels to cross the walls in the slightest." Zhao Wen ordered.
"Yes Your Excellency"
At ten o'clock in the morning, the rebels had arrived outside the city, and Zheng Yifei took Shi Jun, Xiao Heng and other 20 strong men and quietly flew to the city gate. When he flew over the city with Zhou Chen to appear, Xiao Heng's horn sounded, and all the rebels put on black cloths.
The dazzling white light instantly raged throughout the inner city, and the guards in the city instantly lit up, unable to open their eyes, this sudden change made them extremely flustered, and the shouts and scolding on the city wall were extremely chaotic.
Xiao Heng quickly opened the city gate with 20 strong men, and then scattered everywhere to kill the guards and find the city lord Zhao Wen.
The rebels poured into the inner city like a tidal wave, and they rushed into the mountains like fierce beasts, brandishing their sharp blades and fiercely charging at the enemy, vowing to annihilate all the enemies in front of them. As the battle continued, most of the guards were scattered except for the castle lord's 1,000 heavy cavalry guards.
After a few minutes, the blinding white light slowly extinguished, and the eyes of the guards in the inner city returned to clarity.
In these few short minutes, the rebels seized a good advantage, and the defense line built on the city wall began to crumble, like a long snake being cut into several pieces, and it could no longer form an effective defense.
The chaotic guards were like headless flies, only to be further divided by the rebels, and batches of wheat fields were like harvested fields lying under sharp knives.
In the city, Xiao Heng raised his long knife horizontally, the surface of the knife reflected the cold light, and his killing intent was pervasive, like a fierce beast rushing out of the sea of corpses and blood, opening its huge mouth and showing its fangs, wanting to tear the prey to pieces. His actions caused many of the guards to abandon their weapons and flee the battlefield.
Knock, knock, knock! The 1,000 heavy cavalry guards slowly pressed down on the rebels, and the earth trembled with their heavy steps, "Guards, for the glory of the inner city, rush!" With the leader's command, the heavy cavalry rushed towards the rebels across the war beasts several meters high.
This change surprised the rebels, and the speed of the war beast was so fast that before they could react, they were trampled under the feet of the war beast, and there was no sound.
In the inner city, only a burst of wails and screams can be heard, and flying and mutilated corpses can be seen everywhere, as tragic as purgatory, and the rebels' preemption is instantly reversed.
Zhao Wen stood on the roof of the City Lord's Mansion and looked at the heavy cavalry in the distance and sneered: "Chang Rin, Xiao Heng, your death is coming."
