Chapter 90 - Nancheng "Enemy Situation"
The situation in the city is no better than in other places, in addition to the fatal problem of the shortage of food and weapons and materials, the current army in the city, including the two young generals Feng Yuchong and Sun Hao who stayed here, their energy has also been severely tested.
The Qi army in the city has been divided into three groups since a long time ago, patrolling the city at different times, maintaining law and order and defending against possible attacks by the dark legions.
The fundamental reason for the two of them to do this was also to give the soldiers as much time as possible to rest, and now that the rations were insufficient, if the soldiers were not allowed to rest effectively, I am afraid they would not be able to hold on for a long time.
Fortunately, it seems that the Dark Legion has no intention of launching a large-scale attack on them during this time, and they are still stationed outside the city, holding their ground, as if waiting for their own internal changes.
Worried about the potential crisis, Feng Yuchong and Sun Hao acted separately, and the two of them were in charge of all the order in the city for a day, including all the affairs of Yiying.
On this day, the other person can take a short rest, but in fact, due to the complexity and triviality of the affairs in the city, the vicinity of the northern city is often harassed by small groups of troops of the Dark Legion, and sometimes one person is really lacking in skills, and often needs the help of another person.
is also because of the potential crisis, Feng Yuchong and Sun Hao have been tense all the time in the past ten days, and their physical strength and energy have gradually been overdrawn.
Although as Soul Cultivators, Feng Yuchong and them could indeed ignore the illnesses that others could not bear, and their physical strength and energy were much better than ordinary people.
But this doesn't mean that they can spend their energy like this, especially in this situation, the two young generals of the Qi State guarding the city, Feng Yuchong and Sun Hao, are now doing overloaded tasks and work under such high-intensity pressure every day.
This kind of life lasted for dozens of days, even for a soul cultivator like them, it was difficult to be unharmed, Feng Yuchong and Sun Hao were still here to persevere, they had such a resolute quality of taking the lead, they didn't want to continue to put pressure on the physical strength of the soldiers, so they took the initiative to undertake the task of daily patrol.
Today it is Feng Yuchong's turn to inspect, although he has been away from the city for a long time, but after all, the current Qi State's main army in the city, the Qingxuan Army, was formed by Feng Yuchong at the beginning, and he still has a very high prestige in this army.
Of course, Feng Yuchong and Sun Hao did not have conflicts with each other because of their military power and status, they were originally comrades, good friends and comrades-in-arms who fought together, and they themselves were still relatively simple young people in nature, so naturally they would not care about the power in their own hands like those old people who had been immersed in officialdom for a long time.
This group of young people are all relatively simple and natural people, and at the moment of the rise and fall of this country, due to some coincidences, they have become the current pillars of the Qi country. All they thought about in their hearts was how to help Qi Guo get out of the predicament, and they didn't have any other thoughts.
On the Hanhai Demon Spirit Continent, since the arrival of the Dark Legion, the sky here has been covered by dark clouds, and it seems that it has become a dark place where the sun cannot be seen all year round.
As the darkness spread over the entire Hanhai Demon Spirit Continent, the sundial used to observe time had also lost its due benefit due to the loss of sunlight, and it was not so easy to accurately determine what time it was.
Feng Yuchong took several generals from his cronies to patrol back and forth on the city tower, and the main patrol of the city is also the northern city wall, which is also the main attack position of the Dark Legion when it launched many attacks.
Due to the long period of hard work and excessive fatigue, Feng Yuchong's voice became a little hoarse, and his mobility and reaction speed were far from being comparable to him at the beginning.
This is obviously a manifestation of overwork, these generals have been trying to persuade Feng Yuchong early in the morning and persuade him to go back to rest, they will be staring at him here.
It's just that what these generals didn't expect at all was that the words they wanted to persuade had not yet been spoken, and Feng Yuchong took the lead in urging them to go back to rest, and he continued to patrol himself.
According to Feng Yuchong's words, the more at this time, the more he can't easily leave his rightful position, once the dark army is killed, it will be too late.
As soon as Feng Yuchong said this, these generals also understood that it was impossible for them to change the young coach's will, so they thought that there might be other ways to persuade the coach to go back to rest temporarily.
During the inspection in the past few days, these generals have followed Feng Yuchong's side. Occasionally, they would also chat casually, and Feng Yuchong had also mentioned that the reason why he was so serious now was that he didn't dare to relax at all about the situation in front of him.
It is also because the Dark Legion will not wipe them out so easily, but will use them as pawns that they can use as they please.
The reason for this is also very simple, in fact, there is no need for Feng Yuchong to explain too much, these generals actually understand. If the Dark Legion really goes all out to attack the city, as long as they are willing to pay a certain price, it will be a matter of capture for them. But the Dark Legion has been letting them go now, and has never launched a large-scale attack except for a few tentative attacks before.
Feng Yuchong also understood the thoughts of the Dark Evil God, although he may not be in the Dark Legion now. He must have wanted to surrender without a fight, and it was impossible for the Dark Legion to be unaware of the shortage of food in their city, and they were probably waiting for the day when they could no longer support themselves.
Of course, the idea of the dark evil god will not be so simple, his more far-reaching purpose must be to use the siege of them to attract the northern forces, the country and the army of the white-clothed celestial girl forces to the south.
In this way, the Dark Legion may have the opportunity to wipe out all the forces that oppose them in one fell swoop, so that they can save a lot of trouble.
Since there is speculation in this regard, Feng Yuchong also supports Sun Hao and Luo Yinying's initial idea, they may be able to support Princess Liuli Bu Yuehan to enter the Zhongcheng, first, to enhance the strength of the army of the white-clothed Heavenly Maiden, and second, to find a way to eliminate the potential threat of the Saint Emperor Zheng Junchao and the Sealing War Society behind him.
Although the Feng Zhan Society chose to retreat to Zhongcheng, and the army was reduced from more than 200,000 elites in its heyday to only 30,000 left, the combat effectiveness of their army was still very strong, and the Holy Emperor Zheng Junchao himself was also a master of rich experience and unfathomable strength.
What's more, the Sealed War Society is extremely closely connected to the Dark Legion, and they may turn against the Dark Legion at any time, or help the Dark Legion at some critical moment, which is unacceptable to them.
In fact, the two girls who went to the feudal country, Feng Shanshan and Luo Yinying, also shouldered this task, if there was really a chance for Princess Liuli Bu Yuehan to replace her father Saint Emperor Zheng Junchao, they would naturally spare no effort to support and promote.
Now the news of these two girls has not yet come, and Feng Yuchong and Sun Hao are not easy to judge subjectively. However, whether it is the interests of Qi Guo or their personal favorability, Bu Yuehan is far superior to Zheng Junchao.
Bu Yuehan is their companion after all, she has fought side by side together, and the relationship is naturally not bad, Bu Yuehan is different from them, her origin and status, as well as the mission she is carrying now, are destined to have a bifurcation with them.
On the battlements of the north city wall, Feng Yuchong leaned sideways against the edge of the wall, squinting at the dim night sky, his emotions became very complicated at this moment, and the current situation, even Feng Yuchong, who had always been calm and composed, could not continue to calm down.
The several generals who followed him behind him had already heard his complicated and changeable mood from Feng Yuchong's sigh, and they also knew each other very well, so they all chose to be silent.
I don't know how long this delicate scene lasted, until a voice came out of thin air in the quiet and quiet night, breaking the balance.
"General, the enemy situation in the southern city!"
A figure staggering from a distance ran quickly, with the help of the torch lit on the city tower and the torches held by the soldiers in the distance, Feng Yuchong saw the face of the person who came clearly.
Running so quickly and shouting words in his mouth suddenly made Feng Yuchong realize that the situation might have been a little serious, and he looked sideways and found that the faces of the generals who followed him were also frozen and heavy.
Feng Yuchong didn't care about anything else, and simply greeted him directly, "What happened?"
The Qi soldier who came all the way from a distance was slightly red, he ran all the way to Feng Yuchong, and was just about to kneel down to report the situation, Feng Yuchong pressed his shoulder with one hand, "If you don't pay attention to etiquette now, how can there be hostile situations in Nancheng?"
He didn't care about any of this, not to mention that it was such a special time.
The soldiers of the Qi State took a breath slightly, "General, two special figures have appeared outside the southern city, the brothers don't know if they are from the Dark Legion, General Qin specially ordered me to come to the general to report." ”
Feng Yuchong frowned slightly, from the words of this soldier, it seemed that these two special figures, who could not see their faces clearly in the dark, should be people with strong combat effectiveness, as for whether it was a person from the Dark Legion, they couldn't judge, so they sent someone to Beicheng to report, he happened to be here.
Although it doesn't sound serious, after all, these two figures don't seem to have launched an attack on Nancheng yet, but Feng Yuchong is still a little worried, after all, Nancheng has always been the place where they have the least garrison and the weakest defense, so they still need to be cautious.
After pondering for a while, Feng Yuchong nodded lightly, "Since that's the case, let's go over and take a look at the situation before making a conclusion." ”
Looking sideways, Feng Yuchong said to several generals around him: "Pass on my order, the east and west sides also need to strengthen the defense, and the three city walls will temporarily add 1,000 garrisons each." The subordinates in the city have also mobilized, sleeping in their clothes, and their armor is always ready to fight the dark army!"
"Obey!" Several generals left in response, and in an instant, only Feng Yuchong and the Qi soldiers who came to report the news were left in place.
Feng Yu waved his hand, "Let's go to Nancheng." ”
With a light effort, Feng Yuchong suddenly quickened his pace and went straight to the south city wall, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
"General...... Wait for me......"
