Longnan, Minzhou.

The land of Longnan, east of Shaanxi, south of Sichuan and Shu, choking Shaanxi, Gansu and Shu three key points, but it can be said to be a strategic channel connecting Lanbai, docking Chengdu and Chongqing, and connecting Guantian.

"Qinlong locks the key, Bashu throat", which refers to the importance of the Longnan area.

At that time, more than 100,000 iron cavalry of the Jin State broke through the defense line set up by the Song Dynasty in Minzhou, Longnan overnight, and then marched southward, killing the Song army in Sichuan and Shu with the autumn wind sweeping the leaves, and occupied this feng shui treasure.

Since Wenbang took advantage of the critical moment of the Song and Jin clashes in Shaanxi to occupy Sichuan and Shu, although the first Jin Emperor Wanyan did not send troops to counterattack, he rebuilt the fortress that had been abandoned for many years in Minzhou, so as to firmly block the key road between Sichuan and Gansu .

On the cliff opposite Mincheng, Yao Ruoyu frowned slightly, and looked at the huge fortress in front of him with a solemn face.

Zou Buyi, who is familiar with the terrain conditions in various places, shook a feather fan and slowly told everyone about the situation of this fortress.

The fortress was rebuilt shortly after Wenbang's capture of Chengdu, and the commander in charge of the military power here was Wanyan Flame, the former commander of the Kuizhou Province of Jin.

On the eve of Wenbang's invasion of Shu, the Song army had just begun the Northern Expedition, during which the Kuizhou Road led by Wanyan Flame could not withstand the fierce offensive of the Yanggu Army and the Tiger Army, and was defeated and retreated to Shaanxi Province.

Originally, according to the laws of the Jin Kingdom, after losing such an important strategic place as Kuizhou Road, Wanyan Lieyan would inevitably suffer a very heavy punishment even if he was the commander of the Six Realms, but he didn't think that after Wanyan Lieyan returned to Lanzhou City with a guilty body, he actually broke through to the Seven Realms in the prison.

The princely level powerhouse of the Seven Realms is so noble that even if he loses the Kuizhou Road, Wanyan Flame still successfully exonerates himself, and in the name of making meritorious contributions, he went here to sit in the Mincheng Fortress.

In addition, the fortress was also equipped with four Six Realm Sect Commanders and nearly twenty Five Realm generals, half of whom belonged to the former Kuizhou Dao like Wanyan Flame, and half of them were transferred from the disbanded Flame Dragon Army.

After Wan Yan Yong, one of the three great generals of the Jin Kingdom, was killed by Tan Wenjun, the Flame Dragon Army was forced to disband, and some of the generals joined Wan Yan Kang's Tread Claw Army, and some were all transferred here.

In addition, there is also a formed army of spirit masters in the fortress, these spirit masters are all from the Black Lotus Sect, led by the four elders of the Black Lotus Sect, Wanyan is silent, and is good at confusing the spiritual energy near the opponent, so that the other party cannot cast spells.

After listening to Zou Buyi's introduction, Fu Feng couldn't help frowning: "150,000 troops, more than 20 five realms, four six realms, and one seventh realm, and the spirit master legion, I'm a mother, how can I fight this?"

Everyone's faces are a little dignified, the dark night dragoon of the literary army is famous all over the world, the other party has a little spectrum in his heart, he will never give up the advantage of the city wall and rashly go out of the city to fight, unable to ride and fight, the dark night dragoon and the West Chulei cavalry, the two strongest soldiers and horses in Dawen, will not be able to exert their full strength.

Logically speaking, in a siege battle, the besieging side often needs to pay more troops, while the defending side can often resist several times the attack with a small number of people because of its geographical advantage.

The Flame Dragon Army is one of the top armies of Dajin, although it has been dismantled, but the people inside are not mediocre, and it may be difficult for the same number of people to break through this fortress.

"Is there a Spirit Master Legion here?" Song Kaidao frowned slightly, and said in a deep voice, "Although most of the Spirit Methods of the Black Lotus Sect are mainly negative curses, if they reach the level of the Legion level, the power of the Spirit Techniques displayed should not be underestimated, and it is best to think of ways to solve them." ”

Among the four major dynasties of China, the Song Dynasty has the most classified spiritual masters, including luck monks who practice by taking advantage of the national situation, traditional spiritual masters who manipulate the gossip of the five elements, and occult spiritual masters who practice feng shui occultism.

Jin, Mongolia, and barbarian are much monotonous in comparison, most of the spirit masters of the Jin Kingdom are born in the Black Lotus Sect, and they are good at all kinds of negative spiritual methods such as curses, weakening, and aging, and Mongolia does not pay much attention to the cultivation of spirit masters, so almost all of them are martial artists in the army, and there are few spirit masters, and there are no characteristics at all.

The spirit master of the Southern Barbarians, also known as the sorcerer, can manipulate fierce beasts, supplemented by all kinds of mystical thaumaturgy, such as snooping, insight, prophecy and other miscellaneous spells.

Although it is said that most of the spirit masters of the Jin Kingdom are not good at frontal attack spirit methods, if they are upgraded to the level of a legion-level magic circle, then even the lowest level of negative curses is enough to produce a qualitative sublimation.

Seeing Yao Ruoyu looking over, Xu Xuanrong sighed and said, "I'll do my best, although I have also reached the Six Realms, but with Diaoyutai, it is impossible to fight against a spirit master army." ”

Yao Ruoyu snorted, his expression was helpless, the price of cultivating a spirit master was too great, especially the shortest rise of Wenbang, although he had accumulated a certain amount of foundation after Sichuan Shu, but it was still impossible to have many spirit masters of the Three Realms level in a short period of time.

"But ......"

Hearing the two of them talking, Song Kai was about to interject, when he saw Yao Ruoyu wink, he suddenly came over, and said, "I shouldn't talk too much." ”

"What's the situation, what are your secrets?" Xu Xuanrong glanced at and said with a wicked smile.

"It's no secret," Yao Ruoyu smiled, ignored her, looked at the fortress in the distance, and said in a deep voice, "The defense is too tight, there is almost no gap between patrol times, and it is unlikely that you want to surprise with surprise troops." ”

"150,000 people, and a Seven Realms, how could this kind of fortress be raided," Fu Feng laughed angrily, "Brother Yao, don't talk nonsense just for the sake of irrigation, okay?"

The corners of Yao Ruoyu's lips twitched slightly, and he stared at him with a smile, Yang Renjie hurriedly pulled Fu Feng, who was aware of the hindsight, and scolded in a low voice: "Scold the old demon, do you want to get a box lunch?"

Fu Feng sighed and asked, "Then what about this fortress?" They have 150,000 people, and we only have more than 90,000 people, so we shouldn't be able to bite it down if we attack it hard, right?"

Yang Renjie's leopard eyes narrowed slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "Gnawing can be gnawed, but after breaking through here, how much strength do we have left to deal with the next counterattack of the Jin Kingdom?"

Yao Ruoyu held the hilt of the Zhenxian Sword in his hand, pondered for a long time, and suddenly glanced back at the surroundings, except for Xu Xuanrong, Song Kai, and Zou Buyi, the three people who accompanied him to observe, that is, Yang Renjie and Fu Feng, the two town generals, and the rest such as Yu Jieyi, Fan Difei and others either led the army to rest, or were not interested in coming over.

Noticing his gaze, Xu Xuanrong said lightly: "In this war with the Jin Kingdom, if there is a chance, we can appropriately select a few people who are not from our Literature and Art Department." ”

Yao Ruoyu frowned and looked at it, and the latter looked taken for granted: "Now that we only occupy Sichuan and Shu, our literary and artistic army is actually a little stretched, and the current nine town armies alone cannot completely stabilize our rule, since you can let Geng Rui take charge of the army of the two towns, why not select a few trustworthy people?"

Touching his chin, Yao Ruoyu glanced at the others next to him, and Fu Feng shrugged: "I'm casual!"

"How is my wife?" Yang Renjie seemed to have his eyes lit up and said with a playful smile.

"It's beautiful. Yao Ruoyu blinked and suddenly laughed evilly, which also caused Yang Renjie to roll his eyes for a while.

Smiling, Yao Ruoyu sighed: "This is okay, but for such a thing as military power, I still maintain the initial attitude and can be released, but it must be trustworthy and cannot threaten us." ”

Song Kai bowed his head lightly and said: "Then in this war, you can also pay attention to it, the first thing is loyalty, and secondly, the strength must be at least five realms, otherwise it will be difficult to take charge of a battalion like we did back then." ”

Seeing that Yang Renjie's face was full of excitement, everyone knew that he was probably already thinking about how to ask Xiang Beibei for credit, after all, although the Chu family was already attached to Yang Renjie with peace of mind, there must still be some thoughts in his heart of building an army in the name of the Chu family alone.

"We seem to be a little off topic, right?" Covering his cheeks, Fu Feng let out a breath of heating and said solemnly, "How do you fight this fortress?"

"Fight, it's definitely going to be fought, but after all, it's just watching from the outside, and although Buyi said the information, what if it changes? So the best way is to fight a dozen first, and see the reality inside the fortress, what do you think?"

Yang Renjie and Fu Feng both nodded silently, and the corners of Xu Xuanrong's lips showed a bit of the usual mockery: "It's really an honest man's practice." ”

Yao Ruoyu said helplessly: "Then what can you do?"

"You guess?" Xu Xuanrong winked playfully, causing Yao Ruoyu to smile helplessly before smiling, "Just kidding, I also agree to test the reality of the fortress first, but you still have to be careful, don't accidentally get caught by the opposite side, it's not good if there are too many casualties." ”

"Let my Rock Tiger Army go up," Fu Feng grinned and said with a smile, "Then let the Red Shirts and Condor Army cover me, my Rock Tiger Army is heavily armored and has a relatively strong defense." ”

Yao Ruoyu sighed and said, "I'll let the Night Dragoon go up with you and cover from the flanks." ”

Seeing the strange eyes of everyone, Yao Ruoyu said helplessly: "The night dragon cavalry is a heaven-level soldier, and it can't fight in the field, so it's more than enough to act as an archer cavalry!"

Zou Buyi said with a smile: "Since the prince has this intention, there is nothing to do! But what about the Yan Flame? After all, he is a powerhouse of the Seven Realms, and a group of us together may not be able to defeat it, right?"

Mentioning this, Yang Renjie also frowned and said, "Yes, old demon, why didn't you let Master Xi come with us, but let him follow Uncle Geng?"

"Seven Realms?" Yao Ruoyu's cheeks puffed slightly, and he smiled suddenly, "Don't worry, not long after Yan Flame broke through the Seven Realms, at most the Seven Realms are double, and I naturally have a way to deal with him." ”

"Yelu Yu shoulder?" Fu Feng asked with an eyebrow.

Shaking his head, Yao Ruoyu spread out his hand, his smile was hateful, and he looked like he couldn't say anything, and everyone who watched it had itchy teeth, and they wanted to beat him hard.

As if he found that he had provoked the anger of the public, Yao Ruoyu laughed: "Go back! Let the soldiers have a good rest, and tomorrow evening, start attacking the city." ”
