Chapter 32: The Battle of the Defending the City Next
After Xu Xiaodong and the three of them went back to resume their lives, they soon accepted a new task.
Go to another general's mansion to protect your family.
......
It has been three days since the Ziyun people attacked the city, and as time went by, the offensive of the Ziyun side became more and more fierce, and they knew very well that they would not be able to take the rock city for a long time, and once they were caught by the Southern Tang, then the 500,000 army would face the danger of rout. The Southern Tang side is obviously also very aware of this, and has been persistently defending the city, as long as it holds for one more day, it may be able to expect reinforcements.
Even Luo Yang personally went into battle and fought with the ground-level masters on the Ziyun side.
The strength is almost the same, and there is no winner or loser.
Iwajo, which was not forbidden by the moat, was defended, but it still suffered heavy losses.
Not to mention the siege battle, the assassination in the city of Nantang fell more than ten Xuan-level martial artists, and even many generals who fought were also assassinated.
If it weren't for Xu Xiaodong's sudden rise and killing five or six Xuan-level martial artists, the Southern Tang Dynasty would really have lost the upper hand.
In the past few days, Xu Xiaodong's reputation has gradually sounded, and in this battle, Xu Xiaodong killed five or six Xuan-level masters.
The fame spread all over both sides, and everyone knew that Dong Xu, a young genius in the Southern Tang Dynasty, looked only in the early stage of the Xuan level, but his strength was unfathomable, comparable to the masters of the late Xuan level.
"How much Brother Dong has helped, otherwise Zhao would have been poisoned by the Ziyun thieves, but judging from the crazy assassination of our city guards by the Ziyun thieves, it proves that they have exhausted their donkey skills. "A general in his forties, wearing armor and dark skin, was very grateful.
As soon as this big man retreated from the city wall, he was assassinated by Ziyun, but fortunately he was rescued by Xu Xiaodong.
"It doesn't matter, everyone is doing their part to defend the city. Xu Xiaodong put away his long sword and said lightly.
In the past few days, Xu Xiaodong's strength has been revealed, and he has not teamed up with others anymore, and has acted alone.
"In this case, I will go back to my life first, and Captain Zhao will need to contribute a lot to protect Rock City. Xu Xiaodong didn't stay long, and said a few polite words.
"Brother Dong walks slowly, there is a chance for the two of us to have a few drinks. ”
Xu Xiaodong nodded, and rushed out with one step.
Xu Xiaodong was walking on the street, and the sound of the siege outside the city could be faintly heard, his brows furrowed, and he had a bad premonition in his heart.
It feels a little weird, it has been three days since the Purple Cloud Empire attacked Rock City, and the Zhendong Army has not reacted in the slightest in these three days, you must know that this place is only a hundred kilometers away from the border, and it is impossible for the Zhendong Army not to detect such a big movement.
And none of the more than ten scouts who went out came back to restore their lives, which shows that there is a problem among them, and Xu Xiaodong is not very optimistic about the situation of this city defense battle.
"The City Lord's Mansion should be prepared. Xu Xiaodong said secretly. The sky is falling, there is a tall man on top, these things are handled by Luo Yang, and it is not his turn to worry about it.
Xu Xiaodong secretly made up his mind that if he couldn't retreat for himself, he wouldn't do anything like death.
On the other side, in the camp tent ten miles away from Rock City, four Ziyun generals were deliberating.
The first one was an elegant-looking man, with cold eyes and fair skin, in his forties, and the breath on his body was unfathomable.
The other three are a big man with a hammer, a man in golden armor, and a young man with a scarface. The whole body also exudes a mystical aura.
"General, Iwajo is exhausted, and I promise that tomorrow when the sun rises, we will be able to live in the city. The hammer-wielding man looked at the elegant man and said respectfully.
"Greenhair, you said the same thing yesterday, but what is the result? Is it that your men are too weak to take the city? The scar-faced young man was yin and yang, and there was a hint of mockery on his mouth.
"Lu Yun, you said Lao Tzu, what about you? Your assassination plan has been a few days old? What is the effect? Your Black Shadow Killer has lost a lot. The hammer-wielding man said sarcastically.
"Hmph, if your front-line troops could be stronger, the city would have been broken a long time ago, so why bother the Black Shadow Killer to come forward. The Black Shadow Killer has been cultivated endlessly, and I have already lost seven or eight in this war, and if it weren't for the general's presence, I would almost not be able to suppress them. The scar-faced youth said angrily.
The golden-armored man also showed a trace of doubt, "The strength of the Black Shadow Killer, we all know, even if we are in the late stage of the Xuan level, it is quite troublesome to clean up, how can we suddenly kill or injure seven or eight, is it that we are besieged by the Southern Tang Dynasty?"
General Ruya, who had not spoken, opened his eyes, "You finally got to the point, the news from the city said that except for two of the Black Shadow Killers who died under the siege of the Southern Tang Dynasty warriors, the other six all died at the hands of the same warriors. ”
"What, died at the hands of one person? How is this possible! Could it be Luo Yang's shot, or is it that old ghost Chen from the Nalan Chamber of Commerce?"
"Hehe, you don't believe it, he died at the hands of a young man named Dong Xu, and this person is only a Xuan-level early stage cultivator, you should know very well what it means, right?" General Ruya patted the table and said expressionlessly.
"And it is said that the Tuoba Wen who disappeared in the misty forest also died at the hands of this son, because this son was also in the misty forest at that time, Tuoba Wen disappeared during that time, originally we thought they died at the hands of demon beasts, but now it seems that it is likely to be the hand of this kid, by the way, Yuanxiang's kid was also killed by this person, it is said that it was killed instantly. ”
The three hammer-wielding big men glanced at each other, and they all saw the shock in each other's eyes, these achievements fully show that this young man has the strength of the late stage of the Xuan level, and he has the strength of the late stage in the early stage, and when he reaches the late stage of the Xuan level, the realm of the earth level, it will be okay.
Strangulation, must be strangled.
"What is the general going to do?" the golden-armored man's eyes rolled, he knew what this general was like, and knew that he would not give up.
"Hehe, such an excellent character, of course Li wants to meet him. Li Jianshan showed a cruel smile.
The three people who watched it were all cold, and the gold-armored man even secretly felt sad for Xu Xiaodong, and was noticed by this one, it was really a relief to die.
"We have been attacking the city for three days, and the Southern Tang Imperial Capital has not reacted yet, it seems that it is the same as the content in the secret letter, and it is planning to abandon this city. Hehe, these Southern Tang people are in a rich land, and they are not prepared for danger but engage in these struggles all day long, and the huge territory will sooner or later return to our Ziyun territory. Li Jianshan showed a sneer on his face.
"Yes, I also wonder that the 800,000 people in the eastern army of Zhendong were actually abandoned, and I don't know what these Southern Tang people think. ”
"My lord, since you say so, it seems that the rear has been cleaned up?" the golden-armored man thought of another possibility and asked cautiously.
"Well, it's almost there, and the remaining half a million troops will also arrive at that time, and before that we can take Iwajo first. Li Jianshan nodded and slapped the table hard, and the table suddenly fell apart.
The hammer-wielding man showed a trace of reluctance on his face, and hurriedly said: "But my lord, we don't have enough manpower, and if we force an attack, I'm afraid we will suffer heavy losses." ”
"Green-haired, you're worried about your men, if you add us two old immortals, do you think the siege is sure or not. ”
The hammer-wielding man looked at the two old men outside the tent, revealing a look of great joy.
"Senior Zhang, Senior Wu!"
