Volume 1 One Boundary Chapter 105 Siege and Assassination
No matter what realm it is, Thunder is one of the most terrifying celestial powers. In the past few days, the rolling thunder in the sky above the city lord's mansion of Shuibo City has already made the people in the city panic all day long, such a post-apocalyptic scene is even heavier than the pressure brought by the siege of the barbarian army before.
Fortunately, today, this world-destroying thunder tribulation has finally disappeared, and the crisis in Shuibo City has been solved.
After everyone calmed down, they were curious, how did the vision over Shuibo City and the world-destroying thunder tribulation come about some time ago, and why did they stay in the sky above the City Lord's Mansion?
"It can't be that there is a peerless treasure born in the City Lord's Mansion!"
"Could it be that there is a grandmaster with alchemy, refining a peerless elixir, which has attracted such a vision and thunder tribulation?"
While everyone was speculating, the two disciples of the Prince's Mansion in the City Lord's Mansion were also worried about this matter, and for the past ten days, almost every day, they would receive a summons from the Prince, asking if the Dragon Prince, who was in retreat and cultivation, had left the customs?
However, the door of that dragon prince was always closed, and they did not dare to break in rashly.
On this day, Zhu Yu and Li Wenbo received a summons from the prince again, and in the message, the prince's tone was urgent, and he seemed to be in big trouble.
At this time, the situation of the prince's army was indeed very bad, they had rushed to the outside of Xuangui City for more than 20 days, and in more than 20 days, Prince Huangtian had organized many sieges, but he was never able to break through the gates of Xuangui City, not only that, but in the siege, the army was even more deadly and wounded, and nearly half of the nearly two million army was lost.
What's worse is that in the past few days, several senior generals in the army have died inexplicably, which has directly led to the discouragement of the army.
"The head of this Shadow Witch Clan is honestly hateful!"
"It's not the way to go on like this!"
In the face of the elusive elders of the Shadow Witch Clan, few generals in the army can escape the butcher's knife of the other party, and the disciples of the Prince's Mansion, although they are all extraordinary, are equally helpless in the face of such an assassin who has come and gone without a trace.
The crown prince Huang Tian's face was pale, the siege was not effective, and the elusive assassin had already made this high-spirited prince lose most of his confidence, and he must first settle down inside, but before he got rid of this troubled assassin, I am afraid that the situation will get worse and worse.
"Your Highness, the barbarians have adopted this method of attack and harassment in order to break the morale of our army, in that case, why don't we deal with them in the same way? ”
In the crowd, Song He stepped forward.
Hearing Song He's words, Prince Huang Tian's face improved slightly, this is indeed the best way at present, capture the thief and capture the king first, if someone can kill the commander of the enemy army, not only can reverse the unfavorable situation at this time, but also can take advantage of the situation to enter the city and recover Xuangui City.
"Second brother, your idea is good, but the barbarian clan's plan can only be implemented smoothly because of the special existence of the Shadow Witch Clan Elder, although your cultivation is extraordinary, but if you want to quietly infiltrate the enemy camp and assassinate the enemy commander, it is not easy to say!"
"Your Highness, rest assured, eldest brother, I have my own way, in the past I was able to infiltrate the Black Witch Clan, and today I can also infiltrate the enemy camp, you can rest assured!"
Seeing his younger brother Song Renhe's serious face, Song Renlong was worried, although his younger brother's strength was extremely strong, it was still too dangerous to sneak into the enemy camp alone, once he was discovered, he was afraid that he would die at all.
"Second Prince, wait a little longer, I hope that Long Gongzi can get out of the customs as soon as possible, and then we can find that assassin and get rid of him. ”
Thousands of dollars are easy to get, but good generals are hard to find.
Song Renlong, as one of the top masters in the Prince's Mansion, is brave and strategic, and the Song Renlong, who is unparalleled in wisdom and scheming, is tantamount to the prince's right-hand man, if it were not for the situation to the point of no return, Huang Tian would not want Song He to take such a big risk to assassinate the enemy commander.
It's just that another ten days have passed, and there is no movement of dragons flying out of the city of Shuibo City, and in these ten days, several generals have died under the assassination of the elder of the Shadow Witch Clan, and the army's morale has simply collapsed.
"Your Royal Highness the Prince, don't wait any longer, if you wait any longer, I'm afraid that if you can't wait for Young Master Long to come out, we will be defeated without a fight!"
Although Song He looks like a scholar, he is a hot-blooded young man, when did he suffer such grievances, otherwise he would not have been angry at the beginning, and he would have entered the clan land of the Black Witch Clan alone.
After finishing speaking, without waiting for Huang Tian to speak, Song Ren's body moved, and he disappeared in front of everyone.
Prince Huang Tian wanted to say something, but when the words came to his lips, he couldn't say them. Song He and Song Renlong are both direct members of the Song family in Tiandu City, and they are the ones who grew up with him, in addition, Huang Tian's wife is also the daughter of the Song family, so to speak, in addition to the relationship between the monarch and the minister, there is also a layer of brotherhood.
At this moment, letting his brothers, who were like siblings, take the risk of sneaking into the enemy camp, Huang Tian's worries were actually no less than those of Song Renlong.
"Spread the turtle!"
After a while, a middle-aged man with a somewhat obscene appearance came to the big tent and knelt on the ground.
"The sinner is gone, knock on His Royal Highness the Prince!"
Don't look at this turtle Li looks strange, but his origin is not simple at all, he is the commander of the defenders of Xuangui City before, a few days ago, when he learned that the prince's army was killed, he led the rest of the Xuangui army to meet the prince's army.
When the city was broken, the Xuangui army suffered heavy losses, and the millions of troops had less than two million troops to escape from the city.
These days, Guili and his Xuangui army have already reached the point of running out of ammunition and food, and as soon as they heard that the prince's army was coming, they rushed to meet non-stop.
Originally, according to the laws of the Divine Dynasty, it was a capital crime to take the initiative to abandon the city and flee, but for the sake of so many years of Guili leading the Xuangui Army to defend the city, coupled with the repeated pleas of the old minister, Huang Tian had no choice but to spare this Guili's life, however, Huang Tian was not stupid, and took the opportunity to release Guili's military power and take it into his own hands.
The addition of two million Xuangui Army, for the prince's army with few soldiers and generals, was like a tiger with wings, and I thought that it could drive straight into and recover Xuangui City, but I didn't expect that it encountered stubborn resistance, not only did not attack the city, but suffered heavy losses.
"Gui Li, you have been stationed in Xuan Turtle City for so many years, you should be very familiar with the terrain in the city, this time I ordered you to lead a million troops to attack the city, there must be no mistake!"
"Thank you, Your Royal Highness the Prince, for your kindness!
Hearing the words of the crown prince Huang Tian, the turtle was overjoyed, he didn't expect that he, who had been beaten into the cold palace, would one day be able to command the army again, although the turtle city was not easy to attack, but it was better to have a chance than no hope.
For so many years, as the commander of the defenders of such an important strategic city as Xuangui City, Guili is naturally not incompetent. He led his troops to garrison Xuangui City for nearly ten years, and in the past ten years, under his management, Xuangui City has been as solid as gold, and it has repelled the invasion of the barbarian army hundreds of times, but this time he was inexplicably attacked into the city, and he was really defeated and a little aggrieved, and even, until now, he has not figured out how the enemy army quietly entered Xuangui City.
Looking at the turtle leaving with joy, everyone in the Prince's Mansion was puzzled, and only Song Renlong, a wise man, understood his thoughts when he saw a trace of coldness flashing at the corner of Huang Tian's mouth.
Looking at the familiar faces, the turtle was inevitably embarrassed, because the current million-strong army was the former Xuangui army, and the generals at the front were also his former subordinates.
"All the soldiers will follow me back to Xuangui City, and I will be ashamed!"
"Good!"
The earth-shattering shouts of killing broke the tranquility of the barracks, and swept away the gloom shrouded in the barracks.
For the soldiers of the Xuangui Army, Xuangui City is not only their territory, but also their home, their home is under their eyes, taken away, the anger in their hearts is far from being comparable to the soldiers of the prince's army, at this moment, after hearing the order to let them attack the city, the Xuangui Army burst out of the fighting spirit, like the Yellow River rushing, unstoppable.
Seeing this scene, even the crown prince Huang Tian and the masters under him seemed to be infected in their hearts.
I hope that Guili can break through the city gates, and this will also create more opportunities for people and He.
With a military order, the million Xuan Turtle Army, like a torrent of steel, and like a spear, killed in the direction of Xuan Turtle City, but the direction they went was not the direction of the city gate, but a pontoon bridge in the southwest corner of the city wall.
Seeing Guili leading the army to kill to the southwest of the city, Prince Huang Tian was surprised, however, thinking that Guili had been in Xuangui City for nearly ten years, his understanding of Xuangui City must be far above others.
At this time, Xuangui City looked no different from the past, except that the defenders at the head of the city were replaced by barbarians.
found that the imperial army was attacking the city, and the city was already full of barbarian soldiers, waiting for the battle, but what puzzled them was that the imperial army besieging the city actually gave up the easiest city gate to break, and instead killed in the southwest direction of the city.
"Marshal Qiqi, the imperial army is going to the southwest of the city!"
In the city lord's mansion, the commander Uma, who is known as the barbarian army god, after learning the report of his subordinates, his face changed, he can be called the god of war, his wisdom is extraordinary, after the battle of Shuibo City, he has a general understanding of the combat power of the prince's army, with the comparison of the combat power of the two sides, if the soldiers against soldiers, generals against generals, to have a frontal battle, I am afraid that the barbarian army is not the opponent of the prince's army at all, but at the moment, with the natural defense of Xuangui City, plus, the attack of the elders of the Shadow Witch Clan, defeating the prince's army, is simply a matter of time.
"Okay, let Elder Ying go out of the city, this time, you must bring the prince's head back!"
Knowing that the imperial army was attacking the city on a large scale, Uma was not in a hurry, but the enemy did not attack the city gate, but killed the southwest of the city, which was somewhat unexpected to him.
"Pass my military order and set up a poison array in the southwest of the city!"
As if anticipating something, Uma passed down one military order after another.
Over the years, under his tutelage, the barbarian army, which was no different from the rabble in the eyes of the imperial court, has become a strict military discipline and a very terrible iron army.
