Jiang Longwei's army was stationed outside the south gate of Yuanyang City, and it was already the third day, and the baggage of the rear guard had been transported into the Chinese army camp.

The army expedition should be quickly decided, but the commander of the whole army and the commander of the Chinese army, Jiang Longwei, has never issued an order to attack. This is so counterintuitive.

The city defense of Yuanyang City is jointly responsible for the Yuanyang Guard, the City Defense Battalion, the Guard Battalion, the Secret Guard, and the Meishan Guard.

The number of soldiers capable of fighting in the city increased to 2,500, and the vast majority of them were assigned to the gates and walls. In addition, more than 700 Meishan guards were guarded in the main palace and various city gates.

Sun Tu and Hong Xian guarded the north gatehouse, Linghu Wujian and Mei Yicai guarded the east gatehouse, Li Liang and Jiang Tao guarded the south gatehouse, Huang Xinxing guarded the small gate in the west of the city, and Zhou Dongcang, Mei Shuanglin, Zhang Yifeng, Jiang Hantian, Liang Fa, Tu Wei and other civilian officials sat in charge of the palace.

Li Xiao, Xuan Zhongxian, Fang Qiushui, Xin Huwei, and Mao and Wen, two Taoist chiefs, a total of six people, lived in three wings in the backyard of the principal's mansion.

In the wing room next to it, Wu Xiaoze, Xiao Tie and the Shang Gang advocate Yifeng also lived. The war was imminent, and Zhou Dongcang had to try to "retain" the big businessmen in order to prevent them from escaping.

Outside the side room lay a large black dog. This big black dog was originally the guardian beast of the Yuanyang City Merchant Gang Mansion - a standing eared wolf dog named "Black Wolf", it came from the Fanyu Puzzle Country, powerful and huge, with a body length of three meters and a height of two meters and a height of two meters and five.

Li Xiao didn't have a good impression of Wu Xiaoze, but in order to verify what Xuan Zhongxian said, he had to reluctantly greet her.

Later, after intermittent exchanges, Li Xiao came to three conclusions: Whether Wu Xiaoze was an undercover agent of Xuan Zhongxian remains to be verified; what Wu Xiaoze said is not all false, and what Xuan Zhongxian said is not all true; and Zhang Yifeng is very likely to be Wu Xiaoze's biological father.

Li Xiao is not so repulsive to Wu Xiaoze, after all, she is still a very beautiful and lively girl. Li Xiao's deepest impression of Wu Xiaoze is the white rabbit on her chest, and the thing that makes Li Xiao feel good the most is that Wu Xiaoze doesn't like the fat boy Xiaotie.

The battles and fights between adults have nothing to do with children, and children are still simply happy.

In the past two days, as long as the weather is cool, the children of more than a dozen officials such as Fang Ya, Ping Jun, Ping Hudong, and Fang Chengyang will come out to play with Li Xiao, and everyone is very envious of Li Xiao's Qi Refiner skills, which makes Li Xiao's self-esteem and vanity greatly satisfied.

Among the more than a dozen children, the older ones are like Fang Ya, Pingjun, and Pinghudong, who are from Yuanyang Academy, and the younger ones are like Fang Chengyang who are studying and learning calligraphy in a certain study. Only Li Xiao, Wu Xiaoze, and Xiaotie are teenagers who have dropped out of school.

Most of the children have a very strict home education, they don't play too many games, and when they are together, they either play war games together or play house games together.

Almost all the boys "worshipped heaven and earth" with Fang Ya and held hands.

Li Xiao has always had an impure heart knot for Fang Ya. Regarding her request to "enter the cave room" with Li Xiao, Li Xiao directly refused without the slightest interest.

Li Xiao taught them to learn the game of "sticking baked cakes", and they had a lot of fun.

The world of children is always simple and detached from reality. The battle outside the city began, fought between the Jiang Longwei army and the Green Dragon Wei army, and the two armies set up positions by the moat outside the east gate.

The more than 80,000 people of Jiang Longwei were divided into three parts, the first part was 1,000 heavy cavalry of the left guard strategic force, the second part was 20,000 light and heavy infantry, long and short archers, and long and short spearmen of the main force of the Chinese army, and the third part was 2,000 broadsword soldiers of the main force of the right guard, 60,000 rear guard baggage guard troops and civilian men, and more than 3,000 non-combatants and wounded soldiers of the avant-guard.

When the army of the Green Dragon Guard marched, it was based on the hundred-man team, which was interspersed with animal carts transporting grain and grass. The soldiers marched together with the people, and the main force of the Chinese army, 20,000 people, was in the center of the marching column.

The Green Dragon Guard army marched steadily, one day later than the Jiang Longwei Central Army, and the two armies were stationed outside the south gate and the north gate respectively, facing each other across Yuanyang City.

Zhou Dongcang in Yuanyang City sent several waves of envoys to reward foreign troops. Rice and flour, meat, vegetables, fruits, and bottled water (water is scarce outside the city).

Zhou Dongcang took the same reward and the same rhetoric for the troops at the south gate and the north gate, this is not a "grass on the wall", nor is it a practice of "stepping on two boats", but he has to make such a helpless choice, because he can't afford to offend the army on both sides.

Two days later, all the Green Dragon Guard soldiers and people arrived outside the north gate of Yuanyang City one after another, and after the main force of the Chinese army arrived, they were divided into four teams of five thousand people and stationed on the periphery to guard.

After the main force of the Chinese army, all the men and horses of the expedition began to assemble in formation, and the 20,000 reserve troops and more than 40,000 people were divided into two large phalanxes, and the square was filled with baggage materials and combat materials.

At dawn on the fourth day, the commander of the whole army and the commander of the Chinese army, the commander of the Green Dragon Guard, issued an order to attack, and the whole army sounded the horn of attack.

###

Liu Xian, the commander of the Balongwei who had just conquered Zixin City, advanced the army of Balongwei, who was known as 180,000 male soldiers, to the market of Shenma Town, sixty miles away from the east gate of Yuanyang City.

After Liu Xi received the news that Jiang Longwei and Green Longwei were about to start a war, he immediately felt that the situation was urgent, and he wanted to capture Xuan Zhongxian, and Zhou Dongcang promised him that as long as he repelled Jiang Longwei and Green Longwei, he would offer Xuan Zhongxian, and recognize the protection terms of Balongwei for Yuanyang City.

"Green Dragon Guard and Jiang Dragon Guard are fighting fiercely, and our Baron Dragon Guard can make a profit. He said to the herald beside him: "Order, the avant-garde dropped his baggage and ran at full speed towards Yuanyang City." The central army and the left and right guards closely followed the front guard and advanced at full speed. The rearguard picked up his baggage and marched slowly. After the military law team, kill all the soldiers who have fallen behind. ”

"Ordered. "Ordered. "Ordered. ”

In the secret cell of the Inspectorate of the Market Inspection Department of Shenma Town, there was an old man with white hair, beard, and eyebrows, his face was delicate, but his expression was a little awkward, his hands and feet were chained, and the pipa bone was also hooked through the hook.

This white-haired old man was the Immortal Mountain Ancestor that Ling Fox Wuji had not found.

Linghu Wu forgot to say: "Master, it's been so many days, have you thought about it?" ”

The Ancestor of the Stygian Mountain said: "Outside, yes, no, here, thousands of troops?"

"Master, it's really a good ear. "Linghu Wuwu is only a second-order qi refiner, and he can't use "super hearing".

"You, you want, take me, go?"

"Master, we have to go. The Overlord called. ”

"Except, the Sea Clan, you can go, anywhere. ”

"It's just going to the Sea Clan Heavenly Ghost Country. Linghu Wu forgot to say: If you go to the Sea Clan Heavenly Ghost Country, those ghosts must have a way for you to tell your secrets. For the sake of my wife and children, I betrayed my master and betrayed Daxuanguo.
