Chapter Ninety-Three: Then to Tiantai City
Two days before Long Weihou launched an attack on the Hanzhong army, Lingwu led his headquarters to Tiantai City. [Ran^Text^Library] >According to the military deployment of Long Wei Hou, Lingwu will be responsible for the defense of Tiantai City and deal with the threat from Long Xihou.
In the afterglow of the setting sun, Lingwu led 80,000 soldiers to slowly enter the south gate of Tiantai City. Onlookers crowded both sides of the road, curiously looking at the army that seemed to be a little different. Usually the slaves were assigned to work on the land outside the city, where they could stay in the city. It was only in times of war, in order to prevent slaves from being robbed, that the nobles drove them into the city. Young slaves were armed and served as soldiers, fighting for their slave owners. Other women, children and old will be responsible for logistical support and do all kinds of chores.
The ground trembled as the soldiers stepped on the gravel pavement, making a loud and powerful sound. They wore uniform black shorts, with long swords, shields, and bows and arrows of uniform size. All this shows that this is a well-equipped and distinctive army.
They were greeted by Zhang Zishan, the owner of Tiantai City, who led Zishan to greet him ten miles outside the south gate half a day in advance. Zhang Zishan's life has not been easy these days, and the No. 1 and No. 2 characters of Longwei Houguo have come to Tiantai City one after another, which is something he has never encountered.
Since receiving the notice half a year ago, he has been preparing. Everyone understands the importance of these things, and the fact that Hou Ye personally came to Tiantai City was an opportunity and a danger for him, and if he was not careful, he would be ruined. The entire Tiantai City was very careful, for fear of making even the slightest mistake. Fortunately, Long Weihou didn't enter Tiantai City at all and went north directly, and Zhang Zishan didn't even see Long Weihou's face, so he was inevitably a little disappointed.
Unable to allow him to have time to sigh, Long Weihou left an order when he passed by: The master will arrive at Tiantai City in two days, and the whole city of Tiantai City will enter war preparations, and everything will obey the master's orders. This has made Tiantai City busy in the dark, and the city's war preparations alone are complicated, coupled with the arrival of the master brigade, it is difficult to arrange 80,000 troops in a small city like Tiantai for a while.
Although it was the son of the old mansion lord who came, not a big man like Hou Ye who had never seen before, but the current Lingwu was not the six-year-old child back then, but the number two person in the Hou Kingdom, Master Hou Guo. Zhang Zishan didn't dare to slack off, and personally asked about every detail up and down.
What made him even more disturbing was that his shadow scout had heard the news two days ago that hundreds of thousands of Longxi troops had been found in the west, and it was said that the troops led by the Marquis of Longxi were profound. A large number of high-level bigwigs appeared near Tiantai City, and he was already old and experienced, and of course he knew that a storm was coming.
He is no stranger to the Lingwu of Tiantai City, fourteen years ago when he was a child, he walked from this south gate to Shuanglong City. The city is still the same city, the gate is still the same gate, the people are still those people, and only Lingwu himself has changed.
Looking at the four words "Tiantai South Gate" on the city gate, Lingwu was full of emotion. The scene of the slave rebellion is vivid, the father's figure is clearer, the mother's smile is more warm, and Lingwu's eyes are a little moist. But he knew that his parents were not in the city, and although they were very close, he should not have seen them recently.
Standing in the way of their relatives' reunion was the 500,000 army of Longxi, which was already very close to here. Only by defeating them can he continue to go north to meet his parents and relatives. Long Weihou's intelligence officers had already figured out the situation of the Longxi Army. More than 500,000 people, led by Long Xihou himself, nine generals, and thousands of other samurai warriors.
In Long Weihou's opinion, such an enemy was not something that Lingwu could deal with. There are less than 100,000 people in the Lingwu department, and there are only 350,000 horses in the small city of Tiantai, and more importantly, there are only two generals on the Lingwu side, and the disparity between the two sides is obvious. Therefore, Long Weihou asked Lingwu to defend Tiantai City, as long as he held it for a maximum of ten days, and when he succeeded in raiding the Hanzhong army, he would immediately send troops to reinforce Tiantai City.
For holding on for ten days, Lingwu is very confident. Tiantai City is surrounded by large rivers on three sides, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack. The enemy army came from the west, and there were two mountains outside the west city gate, one called Tiantai Mountain and the other called Phoenix Mountain, which could be heavily defended, which was equivalent to adding a line of defense. The north of Tiantai City is connected to Fumian City, and the enemy army will never dare to take the initiative to put itself in the middle of the two armies. The most important thing in defensive warfare is to stand on a favorable position, plus Lingwu understands his own troops, not to mention one enemy and ten, even if he faces the Shanglongxi Army head-on, it is not a problem to fight for ten days and half a month. The only disadvantage is that there are too few generals in his own country, but with his own great spirit warrior, if the other party's generals dare to look at no one, there will definitely be no return.
To be honest, Lingwu was just worried that the god general Long Xihou would make a move. Although the person who practices martial arts is mainly physically nourished by the aura of heaven and earth, his soul has also improved a little, and he is still much stronger than ordinary people. For example, the Martial Saint, the Spirit Warrior's soul attack on him is not very effective, at least the Great Spirit Warrior can cause soul damage to the Martial Saint.
If he faced Long Xihou, he would definitely be able to hurt the other party, but how powerful it was, Lingwu had no bottom. In addition, there are so many generals who can't stand others, and once someone on the other side takes the opportunity to get close to him, it is also possible that his life will be over. However, Lingwu also came up with a trick to deal with it. Along the way, Lingwu also secretly experimented with Lu An, although his martial arts were not as good as Lu An, but his speed was much faster than him. Lu An admitted that he had never seen a general running so fast. Lingwu thought to himself, if you can't win, I will always run. As long as the enemy is scattered, one-on-one, who am my great spirit still afraid of?
The things that Lingwu was thinking in his heart were not known to Zhang Zishan and other officials of Tiantai City, and these things were only understood by a few core figures in the high-level of the Hou State. Seeing Lingwu staring at the words on the city gate and not speaking for a long time, Zhang Zishan was really a little at a loss, and he couldn't touch the temper of this master, so he only waited respectfully and didn't dare to speak.
Only Young Master Zhang Long, who was following behind, was not afraid, and felt that he still had a little friendship with Lingwu more than ten years ago, so he stepped forward and said with a smile: "Brother Lingwu, I haven't seen you for many years, my brother really wants you to die." Before he finished speaking, he sighed and let Zhang Zishan kick him on the side of the road. Lingwu, who was in a trance, was awakened at this time, and hurriedly asked loudly: "Zhang Gongzi, what's wrong with you?"
