It should be said that now that both the Feng State and the Qi State have held back such a breath, whoever breathes a sigh of relief first will suffer the most tragic defeat. The big war is imminent, and no one dares to relax, although the big war is imminent, but the situation is still not very clear.

As the sky gradually cleared up and brightened, the warm light illuminated on the city of Huicheng that flickered with a little glow, and Zhang Ling Yi Lingfeng, who was wearing dark golden armor, stood on the tower of Ruocheng City, he slightly closed his somewhat deep and tangled gaze, and stared deeply at the army array of the feudal kingdom below the city tower, which was not far from Ruocheng. 20,000 heavy armored infantry in the vanguard, 30,000 elite light cavalry guarding the two wings, and the Holy Emperor's personal guard with the crimson banner of the Sealing Battle Association erected at the end. This army is extremely powerful and majestic, and the Jin Ge Iron Horse is particularly shocking against the rising sun.

Seeing such a majestic formation, Zhang Lingyi seemed to have guessed the change in the situation. Although they were trapped in Ruocheng City, it was not so easy for the news to get out or pass it in. But this does not mean that Zhang Lingyi, as the current governor of Ruocheng, is completely unable to understand the intelligence of the outside world. Zhang Lingyi had just received a flying pigeon biography from Li Fu in the morning, but he had already left his governor's palace before he could read this important information because he had received the news that the entire 70,000 troops of the feudal country had been dispatched. Perhaps, this information transmitted by Li Fu may be a war or an accident around the feudal country. Of course, no matter what this news is, at least the Holy Emperor led 70,000 troops to fight in person, which means that the battle situation has changed dramatically. Otherwise, with the Saint Emperor's control, he would definitely not choose such a very risky plan. Logically speaking, he should continue to defend his troops and clear the wilderness. Perhaps this is the beginning of a change in the situation

was thinking about countermeasures, and a rough and sharp voice came from the city tower again, this voice sounded a little brisk than Zhang Lingyi's voice. "Ling Yi, I heard that the feudal kingdom finally couldn't hold its breath and sent troops, this is really good news!"

Zhang Lingyi's thoughts were interrupted by this sudden voice. He looked intently, and saw his old friend, Jin Xu, who was also an old comrade-in-arms, holding a long knife with a golden handle, wearing a white robe and silver armor, and ran up from under the city tower briskly. Seeing Jin Xu's excited face, Zhang Lingyi couldn't help but show a rare smile on his face. He stepped forward, patted his fiery brother on the shoulder with a smile, and asked with a smile, "Aren't you training soldiers?

Since they are now stationed in Ruocheng and adopt a strategy that cannot be held by the internal fortified walls, Jin Xu, the general who mainly commands the front army to fight, has been relatively idle recently, and the only thing he can do is to observe the map every day, personally train several important armies under his command, and dispatch them to become the best soldiers. And today, Jin Xu was originally training soldiers as usual, but he never expected to get such excellent news today. He immediately couldn't wait to come to the head of Ruocheng and talk to Zhang Lingyi about his views on this matter.

Zhang Lingyi stretched out his hand to hold the city wall, turned his back to Jin Xu, and said slowly: "I guess, either the Jincheng side won the victory, or the Lingfeng army of the southern guild city won the victory and successfully recaptured the city." Either of these two things will be enough to change the current stalemate. The reason why the Holy Emperor couldn't endure it anymore may be because his strategic plan was bankrupt, and he had no choice but to take risks. ”

As soon as Zhang Lingyi's words fell, Liu Xun, the general who was the vanguard of the 70,000 troops of the feudal state, and the vanguard army of the feudal state under his command had arrived under the city of Ruocheng, and the soldiers on Ruocheng raised their bows and arrows and stones and wood almost at the same time. But he heard Liu Xun under the city pointing the long lance in his hand to the head of Ruocheng City, and a thunderous shout immediately reached the head of Ruocheng City, "Well, the people of Qi on the city tower listen, I am Liu Xun, the former general of the feudal country, who dares to come out and fight me to the death? Don't hide in Tibet like a child, you are the husband who comes out to fight!" "Why, no one wants to fight with me?" Then you might as well know the current affairs as soon as possible, and surrender to us to seal the country to be the best man!"

Liu Xun's snoring was loud, Jin Xu, who was standing on the city tower, saw that this feudal general was strong and strong, and with such a rampant temperament, Jin Xu's blood was boiling, and the fire of courage rose from his heart, he turned his wrist over, and the golden-backed big knife in his hand was in his hand. Jin Xu turned around and walked down the city tower, Zhang Lingyi hurriedly shouted: "No, don't rush to battle!"

Jin Xu stopped, turned his head and asked: "This guy is very rampant, if you don't solve it, it's annoying for him to let him keep scolding like this! Moreover, if he continues to shout like this, I'm afraid that it will shake the army's heart."

Although Zhang Lingyi understood that Jin Xu's words were not unreasonable, it was just that he didn't dare to admit this matter in front of the soldiers on the city tower and some of the people who assisted in the defense. Therefore, Zhang Lingyi also shouted to the city tower: "The march and battle rely on the real strength, where can you win with such a roar twice? I advise you to retreat early, the two sides guard the border, and stop using swords and soldiers in vain." Otherwise, perhaps your madness at this moment will be as strong as your sorrow at the next moment."

Zhang Lingyi's voice was loud, the soldiers upstairs were silent for a while, and then burst into the most enthusiastic cheers, although they did not shake the hearts of the army because Liu Xun shouted two words, but Zhang Lingyi's words made the courage in their hearts become stronger, and the soldiers raised their bows and arrows one after another, aiming at the 20,000 heavily armored infantry under the city tower, and the general Liu Xun who was holding a long lance in front of them.

Seeing such a scene, Liu Xun knew that his plan had gone bankrupt, his face was blue and white with anger, he pulled out the sword at his waist, and slowly pointed to Zhang Lingyi, who was staring at him on the city tower, he couldn't help but scold angrily: "Piff, until one day you will regret it because of this"

Liu Xun himself also understood that although he shouted loudly, his 20,000 heavy armored infantry were carrying siege weapons, and they could not participate in the operation of attacking Ruocheng. Liu Xun had no choice but to silently accept the sword he had drawn out in his hand, press the lance on the horse, urge the horse to sit down, turn around and shout: "The whole army, temporarily retreat!"

The 20,000 hoplites began to slowly retreat. Upstairs in Ruocheng City, Zhang Lingyi was watching this scene with satisfaction, his initial idea was right, the combat effectiveness of the troops around the Holy Emperor was much stronger than their armies. The ratio is excellent, the equipment is perfect, the experience is also very sufficient, and the combat effectiveness is extremely strong. If there is a field battle, the army of Qi will have a nearly ninety percent chance of being defeated, and it may even be wiped out. However, the army around the Holy Emperor, 30,000 light cavalry could not participate in the siege, the 20,000 royal guards guarding the Holy Emperor in the rear could not participate in the siege, and the 20,000 heavy armored infantry in front could not actually participate in the siege. Feng Guo's 150,000 troops who personally conquered Qi this time have basically been dispatched to assist in the siege. The Holy Emperor poured his troops this time, mainly to see the reality inside Ruocheng.

Liu Xun led 20,000 heavily armored infantry back to the front of the Chinese army, and the phalanx formed by the royal guards dodged a way through it, and Liu Xun saw that the Holy Emperor was still wearing a bronze mask and wearing the same black battle armor as usual. The only thing that surprised Liu Xun and even covered his mouth was that the Holy Emperor didn't even ride a horse, but just came on foot with the army. And beside him, the one that could not be seen under the cover of the royal guards, shining with fiery red feathers, and spewing fireballs from its sharp beak, Phoenix!

Liu Xun couldn't close his mouth in surprise, although he was the first member of the Fengzhan Society to follow the Holy Emperor. But the Holy Emperor had never shown his true mount to them. Even a veteran like Liu Xun only now knows that the surrounding royal guards have never seen the true appearance of this phoenix.

Seeing Liu Xun walking in quickly, the Holy Emperor smiled slightly and asked lightly, "What's the matter, is Ruocheng still a hard nail?"

Liu Xun knelt down on his knees, and after bowing three times and bowing nine times, he said hatefully: "If it weren't for the fact that the army in the hands of the lowly position is not good at attacking the city, the lowly position would have entered Ruocheng a long time ago."

The Holy Emperor waved his hand, "This doesn't matter, of course, it's not just the hoplites, the cavalry and the royal guards are not good at attacking the city. To put it bluntly, although the 70,000 troops I have in my hands are actually strong in combat, they can only look at the city and sigh. However," the Holy Emperor's voice suddenly became cold, "The purpose of my dispatch this time is not to take Ruocheng, I just want to explore the reality inside and outside Ruocheng, as for Ruocheng, sooner or later it will be on our plate, there is no need to rush at this time, anyway, I still have an important task to complete, the blood sacrifice is going to be staged soon."

Liu Xun's gaze followed the Saint Emperor's erratic gaze to the billowing gunpowder smoke that was not far ahead. After all, Liu Xun was not a brave and unscrupulous person, and after thinking about it, he understood that the ultimate purpose of the Holy Emperor's troops this time was not to attack Ruocheng, which was garrisoned by the fortified troops. Rather, it was to visit the Qi army led by Li Fu, the general of the Qi State, who was stationed outside Ruocheng City and echoed the defenders in Ruocheng. The news of Ruocheng's emergency must have been transmitted to the place where the Qi army was stationed as soon as possible. Presumably, now is the trace of Li Fu leading reinforcements to support Ruocheng.
