Chapter 713: Daqu City Breaks [Third Update]
Xu Chu's eyes became cold, staring at Meng Zhiwen, and said, "If you dare to be sorry for Your Majesty's trust, the war knife in my hand will cut off your head!"
Meng Zhiwen looked at Xu Chu and sighed in his heart, no wonder Lu Feng was able to turn the Nanyan Kingdom, which was originally a weak kingdom, into a powerful kingdom that was now enough to compete with the Spirit Sword Sect for the supremacy of the southwest of Yuzhou in more than a year.
With such a general who has complete trust in His Majesty the Emperor, it is difficult not to achieve a career.
Thinking about the Bailan Kingdom again, Meng Zhiwen really had to smile bitterly.
When the Bailan Kingdom was founded hundreds of years ago, there may have been such generals who were loyal to the emperor of the Bailan Kingdom and had perfect trust.
But now, in the entire Bailan Kingdom, the power is completely controlled by the family.
Wen has the Tan family, Wu has the Meng family before, the Tan family behind, and even Dong Zhuo at the end.
Even if Li Xian, the emperor of the Bailan Kingdom, fled to Xiangtai City, the military and political power is still controlled by the Tan family, the largest family in the Bailan Kingdom.
It is completely incomparable to the Nanyan Kingdom.
Thinking about the situation in the Bailan Kingdom, Meng Zhiwen probably understood why Lu Fengfeng chose to occupy a place and did it against those families in the first place.
Because the family is deeply rooted, once they seize the opportunity, the entire kingdom will be slowly worn through like a piece of wood, just like the current Bailan Kingdom.
Glancing at Xu Chu again, Meng Zhiwen said: "General Xu, rest assured, Your Majesty believes in me so much, even if I lose my head, I will not live up to Your Majesty's trust in me." ”
Xu Chu nodded, didn't say anything more, and turned his head to continue looking in the direction of Daqu City.
Meng Zhiwen also looked in the direction of Daqu City at this time, and asked, "Does General Xu know how to shoot arrows?"
Xu Chu was stunned for a moment, and looked at Meng Zhiwen with some doubts, curious why he asked this, but still said: "How can a military general not know how to shoot arrows?"
"Although my archery skills are not as good as General Lu Bu, they are not weak, and I can penetrate Yang in a hundred steps. ”
"So my plan was more than half successful. ”
The corners of Meng Zhiwen's mouth hooked up a strange smile, and said: "General Xu, I know the defender of Daqu City, his strength is not strong, only Grandmaster Sanzhongtian, but this person has a good military formation, and he is a character." ”
"If the city is attacked head-on, it will be difficult for the Tiger Guards to take Daqu City without paying half of the casualties. And Daqu City is the city of horns of Xiangtai City, although there are not many soldiers in it, there must be a lot of heaven-level qi-breaking arrows against the Holy King level. ”
"Therefore, even if General Xu is brave, Daqu City cannot be attacked. ”
Xu Chu nodded and motioned for Meng Zhiwen to continue.
Meng Zhiwen continued: "So, when I go out to call the city, the city guards will definitely come out to see me, I will persuade him to surrender, if he doesn't surrender, I hope that General Xu will secretly shoot arrows and shoot him to death!"
"Once this person's military formation is not presided over by him, the power will be sharply reduced, and when the time comes, with the combat effectiveness of the Tiger Guard, it will definitely be able to easily take Daqu City. ”
When Xu Chu heard this, his brows furrowed slightly, he still liked to fight head-on, and directly hit the opposite side with the war knife in his hand to convince him.
However, he also knew that this matter was important, and he couldn't help it according to his temperament, so he nodded and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you." ”
The army rested for more than half an hour, and when its strength recovered, it continued to advance towards Daqu City.
Soon, Xu Chu led the army to the city of Daqu.
At the head of the city, the enemy army had already received the news, and arranged a defensive army formation, preparing to block Xu Chu's army.
"General Shi Minshang, under Meng Zhiwen, can you come out to speak?"
According to his own plan, Meng Zhiwen rode in front of the formation.
Soon, the military array at the head of the city opened, and a military general dressed in a battle triumph walked out.
He is Shi Minshang, the guard of Daqu City, and he belongs to the Tan family of the Bailan Kingdom.
"Meng Zhiwen, His Majesty the Emperor treats you well, why do you want to betray His Majesty the Emperor? Even now that he is attacking Daqu City with a large army, is it possible that you have forgotten that the Bailan Kingdom has cultivated you for so many years?"
"Could it be that your conscience has been eaten by dogs?" Shi Minshang shouted at Meng Zhiwen.
Shi Minshang does have some skills, and intends to use such words to make the soldiers defending the city at the head of the city have the same hatred for Meng Zhiwen and improve their morale.
It's just that Meng Zhiwen understood his idea after a little thought.
He immediately sneered and said, "Shi Minshang, do you think that Emperor Li Xian of the Bailan Kingdom is qualified to talk to me about my conscience?"
"My Meng family has been a general for generations, and my father has been conscientious all his life, guarding the Quartet for the Bailan Kingdom, and has made countless military exploits, but in the end, he was killed by the Saint King master of the Royal Service Hall ordered by Li Xian, why did he not think of the word conscience when he killed my father?"
When the soldiers at the head of the city heard this, many of them changed their faces.
Although the Meng family's surrender to Lu Feng caused the Meng family's influence in the army of the Bailan Kingdom to be greatly reduced, many low-level generals still knew about the Meng family.
I also know that the previous head of the Meng family, the general of the Bailan Kingdom, died inexplicably before it was rumored that he was going to break through to the realm of the Holy King.
Today, when I heard that it was Li Xian, the emperor of the Bailan Kingdom, who did it, many people turned their heads to look at Shi Minshang.
They can't figure out if it's real or not.
Shi Minshang's face changed, as a confidant of the Tan family, he naturally knew these things, but it was one thing to know, and it was another thing to say it.
If this continues to be said by Meng Zhiwen, the morale of those low-level generals will definitely be hit.
He suddenly shouted: "Meng Zhiwen, you are so bad that you are confusing the public, His Majesty the Emperor is aware of everything, how can he kill General Meng? It is clear that your Meng family wants to find a ...... for your surrender."
"Whew!"
Before he could finish his words, suddenly a piercing sound broke through the air.
Not good!
A chill suddenly rose in Shi Minshang's heart, but before he could react, his forehead suddenly hurt, and the little consciousness he had left, he could feel that it was a heaven-level qi-breaking arrow that hit his head.
It's just that he didn't even have time to see who the archery was, and he had already fallen to the ground without the breath of life.
The soldiers defending the city at the head of the city, when they saw that the lord was about to be killed, suddenly became chaotic, and the military and political affairs were even more deformed.
"Siege!"
Xu Chu did not let go of such a good opportunity, and immediately ordered the siege of the city.
The elite guards immediately carried the siege ladder and quickly approached Daqu City.
"Shoot the arrows, release the arrows!"
Some of the generals at the head of the city hurriedly shouted.
It's just that the Lord will be killed, and where is it so easy for the soldiers who mess up the army to obey orders.
When the crossbowmen received the order to release their arrows, she suddenly heard the piercing sound of 'Boom' breaking through the air.
Then he saw a rain of arrows from a multitude of bows and arrows covering the city.
In an instant, there were screams on the head of the city, and countless casualties were killed.
