"Zhao Chuan, tell me about your next plan. Zhu Ning's heart turned coldly and asked in a low voice.

Zhao Chuan's whole body tightened, and he hurriedly responded: "Back to the words of the lord, although Xiangyun is now stormy, it is still a little difficult to get close to the emperor, and now I am waiting for the opportunity to meet the saint, this opportunity is currently to defeat the Mosen Kingdom that came to attack, if so, the emperor will definitely summon me to enter the palace to be rewarded, so that there will be a chance to assassinate." ”

Zhu Ningxin nodded and said, "Yes, that is, this battle must be won, and there must be no mistakes or omissions." ”

Zhao Chuan frowned again and said: "Judging from the current strength of the Black Curtain City, the victory rate is still very low, after all, this time Nanwang Xiong has no defects and personally leads an army of 50,000, but I have broken his meridians, and the threat has been reduced a little." ”

Zhu Ningxin sneered: "It seems that you are an idiot in terms of intelligence, haven't you heard that Nanwang Xiong Wuqian has recovered? ”

Zhao Chuan was taken aback, and then said helplessly: "It seems that it is the will of heaven, and this is also helpless for people." ”

Zhu Ningxin scolded and said: "Talk less about these mysterious things, and use more dim sum, which is naturally good." ”

Wen Teng stared nervously at the outside of the tent, and reminded him in fear: "Lord Zhu, for the sake of safety, you better leave quickly, otherwise someone will find out, and we will give up our efforts." ”

Zhu Ningxin asked rhetorically, "Did I say I was leaving?"

Wen Teng was surprised and said, "You're not leaving?"

Zhu Ningxin frowned, and said in an unhappy voice: "What's the matter, you have a big opinion if I don't leave?"

Wen Teng hurriedly bowed his head and said, "Don't dare, don't dare, how can there be this bear-hearted leopard gall below." ”

Zhu Ning snorted coldly: "Hmph, it's good if you don't, I will act with you in the future, responsible for helping you provide information, if you want to succeed, you can't do less work here, do you know?"

"I know, it's still an adult who is thoughtful and admires. Zhao Chuan complimented with a smile on his face.

Zhu Ning said with disgust: "The dignified third prince, when did you become so good at slapping horses." ”

Zhao Chuan laughed, and then explained: "Adults don't know, I'm afraid that my acting skills are not real enough, so I am in the play all the time, please forgive me." ”

Zhu Ning glanced at him in his heart, and then said in a deep voice: "That, you go and find me a set of armor, I will be your personal guard from now on." ”

Zhao Chuan hurriedly said in fear: "My lord, aren't you tormenting me, how can you be a guard for me." ”

Zhu Ningxin scolded and said, "Don't talk nonsense, do what I say." ”

"Wow. Zhao Chuan had no choice but to order Wen Teng to get a new armor and bring it back for Zhu Ningxin to change.

Then let Wen Teng explain to the ironclad soldiers outside that the assassin had been executed, and let them continue to be vigilant.

For Wen Teng's explanation, these people completely believed it.

The next day, three miles away from the black curtain city, a group of soldiers were waiting for the black press.

The banner of a black bear fluttered in the wind, and the bear sitting in the chariot was flawless, and the spear was raised high and shouted: "Soldiers, our supplies have been taken away by these bastards, and now the military rations can only last for ten days, if we can't break through the dark city in these ten days, we will all die here, this king has no face to go back to see my father, I believe that the same is true for you, so what should we do?"

"Kill, kill, kill!" The officers and men of the three armies were in high spirits, and the sound of tigers and wolves spread throughout the mountains, rivers, and five mountains.

"Siege!" Xiong Wufeng waved his spear, and immediately gave the order to attack the city.

The soldiers of the three armies galloped towards the shady city with the power of ten thousand horses.

The guards of the Black Curtain City had already discovered the actions of the soldiers of the Mosen Kingdom, and quickly passed the information of the other party's siege to Taishou Zhang Kui.

In the Taishou Mansion Chamber, the soldiers stood below, and Zhao Chuan stood beside Zhang Kui.

Looking at everyone, Zhang Kui said profusely: "Now that the bear of the Mosen Kingdom is outside the city, do you have a good way to retreat from the enemy?"

The people below are usually very loud, but at this moment, when they reach the critical level, they are silent one by one.

Zhang Kui asked again and again: "Everyone, do you have a good plan? Do you want to sit back and wait for death? The Black Curtain City is very important to Xiangyun, this is a place where soldiers must fight, if the Black Curtain City is lost, the Beacon City will not be able to resist for long, and then we may lose the country, do you want to be a member of the Mosen Country?"

"Ask for reinforcements, sir. A junior responded.

Zhang Kui said in a low voice: "The letter has already been sent eight hundred miles in an urgent manner, but before the reinforcements come, we have to hold the city, the four gates of the city wall that was conquered not long ago have not been repaired at the moment, only three gates have been repaired, and there is still a gap in the west gate, if the enemy army attacks the four gates, what should be good?"

Zhao Chuan clasped his fists and said: "The enemy's grain and grass have been hijacked by us, but it is the limit to last for ten days, as long as we hold it for ten days, the enemy army will not fight and retreat." ”

Zhang Kui looked at him appreciatively, and at present, he was the only one in the conference hall who was not flustered and could calmly analyze the military situation.

Therefore, Zhang Kui couldn't help but rejoice that he accepted him as his godson.

Zhang Kui urged: "Things are in danger, I can tell you quickly, is there a good plan?"

Zhao Chuan sorted out his thoughts, and then said: "Godfather, if we want to defend with this 10,000 troops, I am afraid that it is the limit to be able to hold out for five days, and if the reinforcements do not arrive, they will be defeated." ”

Zhang Kui's face turned pale with fright, and his lips were bruised, "Can't you last a little longer?"

"No, the difference in strength between the enemy and us is too great, and this is the fundamental reason why any strategy is ineffective. After a pause, Zhao Chuan said what he thought in his heart: "Burn the city and retreat to the Beacon City, join forces with the Zodiac, wait for the opportunity to wait for Xiong Wuqian to attack the city in a hurry, and then go out of the city to fight a decisive battle with him, and he will definitely be able to defeat his arrogant soldiers." ”

"The arrogant soldiers will be defeated, sure enough, there are at least 20,000 elite soldiers in the zodiac, and the odds of winning with 30,000 enemies and 50,000 are much higher than we have now, and we may not be able to save the zodiac when we defend the city, if we join forces with him, he will not be allowed to choose. ”

Zhang Kui also analyzed the stakes before and after, and then chose to listen to Zhao Chuan's strategy.

Under the command of Zhao Chuan and Wen Teng, 10,000 elite soldiers escorted 100,000 people and moved all the way to Beacon City.

There were only a few hundred old and weak remnants left in the dark city, using some fire oil barrels and other equipment to defend the city, and they were able to deal with the bears.

Half an hour later, Xiong Wujian saw that it was boring, so he ordered to kick the ladder.

After the soldiers went up to the city wall, they found that they had been fooled, and the old and weak soldiers who were circling had already retreated.

Xiong Wujian took the shady city without any effort, but the city was already full of fires, and the people's houses were all empty.

Xu Rong came over with a horse, and said to Xiong Wuqian with a bitter face: "His Royal Highness Nanwang, we have been fooled, this city is empty, and the people still have grain, grass and silver, all of which have been taken away by them." ”

Xiong Wuji's face was already gloomy and terrifying, and he slapped it over, knocked off Xu Rong's helmet, and said hatefully: "Waste, it's all a bunch of waste rice buckets, what's the use of this king's waiting? Hurry up and chase me, if you can't catch me, take down Beacon City for me, these guys must go there!"

Xu Rong nodded, and immediately went to lead the troops in pursuit.

Xiong Wuji's face slowly returned to normal, and he said in a low voice: "Zhao Chuan, this must be your good plan again, right, first cut off my meridians and take my city, you are not satisfied, continue to surprise this king and take away the materials, and now leave this empty city to this king, you are really good to this king, in this case, of course this king will give you a big gift." ”

"Just wait, you'll be satisfied. After Xiong Wujian finished speaking, he took his horse and led the army out of the city, this empty city was meaningless to him, so there was no need to keep it.

Soon, Xu Rong led the army into Zhao Chuan's ambush circle.

The iron cavalry of the Mosen Kingdom fell into the huge pit full of sharp blades one after another.

"Ahh

For a while, the sound of Ma Chang's neighing and screaming resounded for hundreds of miles around him.

Xu Rong looked at the three thousand soldiers who were lost in an instant, and his heart was dripping blood, if Xiong Wujian who came to know about it, he would not be skinned.

"Stop the march! Stop Lao Tzu, there is a trap ahead, hurry, stop for me!"

Xu Rong hurriedly commanded loudly, stopping the iron cavalry who continued to gallop.

After a series of disasters in the past few days, the nominal army of 50,000 has already become more than 45,000 at this moment.

If he continues to lose so much, there will be no achievements, and Xu Rong, the deputy general, will come to an end.

"Kill me!" Xu Rong only brought 10,000 iron cavalry as the vanguard force, and after losing 3,000 people, only more than 7,000 people remained, and at this moment Zhao Chuan led 170 iron armor troops to ride horses and kill from the flank.

In a panic, Xu Rong hurriedly led the army to fight.

But how could the ironclad army be something they could contend with, Zhao Chuan took the lead in the battle, and the golden black sword flew up and down, and countless people suddenly lost their lives.

Blood splashed on Zhao Chuan's face, making his killing intent even worse in an instant, and the same was true for the officers and soldiers of the Iron Armor Army, where the long knife passed was like entering a no-man's land.

For a while, Xu Rong and the others were killed, and the vivid lives turned into silent corpses in an instant.

After a moment of killing, the ironclad army only left less than a dozen lives, and the remaining 160 people evacuated unharmed under the leadership of Zhao Chuan.

And Xu Rong's side suffered heavy casualties, and the 3,000 people who fell into the trap on Mikami lost 7,000 people in a full period of time.

This is an astonishing number, originally the iron cavalry was relatively small, only 20,000 people, and at this moment, only 10,000 led by Xiong Wujian himself still have combat effectiveness.

Xu Rong's 10,000 people were only more than 3,000 left, leading the remnants to retreat quickly.

After walking a distance, Xu Rong encountered Xiong Wuji.

Xu Rong said with a dark face: "Your Royal Highness the King of the South, we have encountered an ambush and lost more than seven thousand people. ”

Hearing this, Xiong Wuji's face was about to distort, and his eyebrows raised angrily: "What did you say? I didn't catch up with anyone, and I lost 7,000 people, are you teasing me?"

Xu Rong nodded, and said fearfully: "Zhao Chuan is too cunning, he actually dug a trap here in advance, and was caught off guard by the ironclad army led by him." ”

Xiong Wuqian said funny: "There are only more than 100 people in the Iron Armor Army, so they will kill you like this? Are you a pig?"

It had happened, and although Xiong Wujian was extremely angry, he had no interest in curing his crimes.

"That's it, the order is to set up camp on the spot, rest for one night, and attack Beacon City tomorrow. Xiong Wujian commanded with a stiff expression.
