The news of Lu Ji's return was soon known to Wu Daofeng, which undoubtedly gave him a shot in the arm, and he was even more confident in going to Wolong City this time.

After thinking about it, Wu Daofeng made a decisive decision and personally commanded the only remaining 5,000 soldiers left in Manlin City to chase the large army day and night. In this way, there is no soldier in Manlin City except for the patrol team of the daily city defense, and Wu Daofeng's move is undoubtedly a ruin.

Five thousand men went into battle lightly, and within two days they caught up with the large army, and the brothers inevitably had a lively meeting under the meeting, but the problems that followed were exposed. All 40,000 sergeants were dispatched, and how to solve the problem of food and grass was a sad thing for Min Duwei.

"General Min has worked hard all the way, Wu gives you a glass!" Wu Daofeng raised his wine glass and prepared to touch Min Duwei on his right.

"City Lord, slow down, there is something I want to ask the City Lord!" Min Duwei smiled bitterly and pressed Wu Daofeng's wrist down.

"Oh, General, please!"

"The city lord has brought out all the soldiers who stayed behind, how can we supply the food and grass of our army, and what should we do if we are defeated?" Min Duwei looked around, and then looked at Wu Daofeng.

"Uh!" Wu Blade Feng slapped his forehead, he just thought about how to take the city but forgot the taboo of the army going out. In fact, he can't be blamed for this, he is the city lord and not a general, and he basically does not care about leading troops to fight on weekdays.

"That. So what?"

"Alas, for today's plan, we can only fight quickly, and tomorrow speed up the march to take Wolong City before the grain and grass run out!" Min Duwei sighed. Now is the time when the arrow is ready to be fired, and if it is withdrawn now, it will inevitably affect the morale of the army.

"It's all Wu Mou, then it's all up to the old general!" Wu Daofeng raised the wine glass with both hands and solemnly toasted Min Duwei.

The next day, before dawn, Min Duwei gave the order to go down to bury the pot and make rice, and the soldiers had eaten the meal, and the team had already started before the morning dew dried. After such a swift journey, the army finally arrived at the foot of Wolong City on the eighth day.

When the army arrived, it was already dusk, and Min Duwei and the others who came all the way did not find that there were soldiers of Lieyan who had set up checks on the road, as if this Lieyan country really regarded Wolong City as its own country's territory.

"Pass the order, rest on the spot, hurry up to eat, and stay until late at night to attack the city!" Min Duwei called the guards around him and arranged it like this.

"General, the soldiers have been tired all the way, it is better to rest for the night and attack the city early tomorrow morning!" Wu Daofeng walked to Min Duwei's side and discussed in a whisper.

"No, the city lord should also eat first!" Min Duwei rejected Wu Daofeng's suggestion. He has led troops for many years, and when he arrives on the battlefield, he definitely doesn't give anyone face.

Min Duwei has his own plans, firstly, because the Flame Army has occupied Wolong City for a short time and has not yet gained a firm foothold, so a surprise attack at this time will have an unexpected effect. The second reason is that the multi-day march is already very tiring for the soldiers, and a battle is very needed to boost morale.

Moreover, because there are fewer people, the art of war says that ten rules surround it. Now don't say how many times, your own side is only 10,000 more than the Lieyan Army in terms of numbers, and it is really difficult for this number to easily attack the city, and Min Duwei has no choice but to make such a decision. Long before it was dark, the old general had already ordered the whole team not to make a single light.

"Honor, glory!" Min Duwei called out to the two brothers after dismounting.

"Here, what's the matter with the general?"

"You two brothers take a few people, don't, just the two of you, sneak into the city to find out the situation!" Min Duwei thought for a moment and said.

"Yes, General!"

"Be careful, be safe!"

"General, don't worry!" the two brothers simply disguised themselves and went straight to Wolong City.

Min Duwei concentrated his army on the shady slope of the mountain col outside the city, about six or seven miles away from Wolong City. As night fell, 40,000 people lurked in the woods, without making a single light.

After returning from the inspection, everyone hurriedly got up to greet each other, and after greeting each other, Min Duwei pinched his eyebrows. "City Lord, this battle is not easy to fight!"

"It also depends on the old general to strategize and use soldiers like gods!" Wu Daofeng raised his hand and hugged his fist and said.

"The city lord is polite, this is Min's duty. Now our army outnumbered the defenders of the city by 10,000, and this was what we knew before.

It is impossible for the Lieyan Kingdom to occupy Wolong City without incorporating the original army, so we have no advantage in numbers.

I have sent the two brothers of honor into the city to investigate the situation, and when the two of them come back, we will make a plan for the siege of the city!" Min Duwei pondered for a while and explained to everyone. Then, the real forest fell silent, and the occasional birdsong was the only sound in the entire col.

After midnight, the sergeants were already drowsy, and the glory returned.

"General!sssssss

"Why are you hurt? You're the only one?" everyone hurriedly gathered around when they saw this.

"He was incompetent, and when he went out of the city, he alarmed the soldiers who defended the city. My brother was captured, and I was stabbed!" Rong Guang said with red eyes and a look of shame.

"Honor has been caught?" Lu Ji asked as he furrowed his eyebrows and took a step forward. The two brothers were brought out by Lu Ji from Wanglin Town, and they had the best feelings, so they couldn't help but feel anxious when they heard that the honor was arrested.

"Well, my brother blocked a knife for me and pushed me off the city!" Facing Lu Ji, Rong Guang didn't have the previous insistence, and said with tears in his eyes.

"Then how is your brother?" Jiang Yin asked anxiously.

"When I fell from the city, he was caught by the defenders with a knife in his back, general, save my brother!" Glory choked his voice and looked at everyone with expectant eyes.

"Of course you have to save it, soldiers!" Min Duwei roared and stood on a dirt slope.

"In!"

"You all know that the city lord has brought our remaining 5,000 soldiers out of his home, and we have no food and grass supply, and Manlin is now an empty city. Only by taking Wolong City can you have a place to eat in the future.

Pass my orders and go full speed ahead!"

"Yes!"

The earth-shattering roar startled the birds and beasts in the forest to scurry around, and after boosting morale, 40,000 people quietly moved at the same time, and the sound of trampling on dry branches and dead leaves sounded from time to time in the silent mountain col. Six or seven miles was not far for a sergeant in a hurry, and it was not yet light when the army reached the city.

"General, it seems that the Flame Army has not prepared anything!" Looking at the city head with only sporadic torches, Zhang Yizheng felt a little relaxed in his heart.

"I hope so!" Min Duwei raised his palm, and the herald immediately lit the torch in his hand to illuminate the dancing flag.

In the second half of the night, the sudden appearance of torches was very eye-catching, and the sergeants immediately stopped and waited for the next step when they saw the flag.

"Order, the three armies are one, and concentrate firepower to attack the West Gate!" Min Duwei immediately ordered, refusing to delay at all.

At the sound of an order, except for the cavalry team led by An Muchen, the other 30,000 people began to get busy. The 5,000 people brought out by Wu Daofeng were handed over to Wu Li to lead, and they took off the leather armor they were carrying and put them on their hands and feet neatly. This group of people was personally selected by Uli in the army, and the leather armor they wore was extremely heavy, and ordinary bows and arrows could not penetrate it at all.

The sergeants led by Jiang Yin and Yu Sanjin were not idle, and several people were busy assembling the ladders used for the siege, and the sound of Kaka was everywhere they passed.

The combination of siege ladders was an idea that Yu Sanjin came up with, because most of the trees in the northern continent were thick and tough, if you temporarily went to the forest to cut down trees during the siege, you couldn't help but delay the work and consume the physical strength of many sergeants.

So Yu Sanjin figured out such a thing, selected tough wood to make a group of two ladders, and then used an iron hoop that could be bitten to cover it, and used this method to connect many groups of ladders to form a siege ladder, which can be installed as long as it is. Neither wasted but easy to carry, the most important thing is to save a lot of time.

"Torch!" Zhang Yizheng shouted, and first lit an incomparably huge torch to illuminate the surrounding twenty-meter radius.

The blazing torches, about fifteen or sixteen meters long, stood like a flagpole in the clearing, which brought light to the black-clad sergeants like a beacon. The torches were lit, and not only the soldiers of their own side could see clearly, but even the sleeping defenders of the city were also alarmed.

The defenders were stunned, and with a hula, countless torches appeared in the open space outside the city, illuminating the vicinity as bright as day, and the situation on the city wall was clear, and the surprised expressions of the three defenders appeared in front of the sergeants very clearly.

"Enemy attack, enemy attack!" the defender in the middle captain-like voice had just shouted twice, and was about to ring the bell inside the tower, when a feathered arrow roared through and nailed him to the pillar of the tower.

"Siege!" Seeing this, Min Duwei waved his horsewhip in his hand, and at the same time as the siege order was issued, the bell on the city tower was also ringed by the defenders.

As the bell rang in Dangdang, the infantry team led by Jiang Yin and Yu Sanjin also arrived under the city, and hundreds of cloud ladders were set up on the city wall almost immediately like hundreds of centipedes.

The defending sergeants who were alarmed by the bell also gathered towards the city as quickly as the siege army, and for a time the lights above and below the city were bright, and the figures were staggered, and the shouts of killing rang out.

"Commander Uli!" Min Duwei looked to his left.

"Ah, I'm here!" Uli was stunned when he heard someone shouting something, and then reacted that he was shouting himself, and hurriedly walked out of the group.

"Ben will order you to lead the men and horses to break open the city gate!" Min Duwei waved his whip in his hand and pointed to the west gate of Wolong City.

"Okay, brothers, just rush with me!" said Uli, cocking his neck and howling towards the sky, and a lunge had already jumped far away.

"This... Looking at Wuli, who ran out first, everyone looked at each other and didn't know what to say.

By the time the sergeants reacted, Uli had already run sixty or seventy meters away. "Rush!" Several commanders in the team hurriedly gave orders, and three thousand-strong teams rushed out with Uli's footsteps.
