The morale of the Three Rivers Sword Sect is declining more and more because of the failure of a single challenge.

Although 3,000 soldiers and tens of thousands of militia had been assembled in the city, it still could not change the crumbling situation of the city. Under the fire of the temple's dense siege weapons, the city's defenses trembled like the remnants of autumn branches. The bricks of the city wall continued to crumble, and the formation became weaker and weaker day by day.

Due to low morale, several assaults out of the city organized by the Three Rivers side were all beaten back, and the losses were not light.

Just when the city of peace and tranquility is about to be broken.

The shrine is in the tent.

Su Mengzhen's face became gloomy as water.

"Guang'er, who had infiltrated behind enemy lines, sent a message. Su Mengzhen said slowly.

Su Guang is Su Can's brother and Su Mengzhen's adopted son.

Everyone was silent, after all, looking at Su Mengzhen's appearance, they knew that it would not be good news.

Su Mengzhen said again: "The civil strife in Shenxiao Dao has completely ended, and the newly succeeded sect leader Long Aotian is preparing to send reinforcements to Xiangyang County to support the Sanhe Sword Sect, which is a vassal of Shenxiao. ”

"Father, if it's just preparation...... Su Can muttered: "Shenxiao's civil war has actually been over for a while, but it hasn't been ...... because of internal instability I'm afraid it's just a shout this time. ”

Su Mengzhen shook his head: "If that's the case, why should I gather everyone? Long Aotian has officially started mobilizing......

In order to send troops, it is necessary to convince the important ministers, who in turn assign the task of sending troops to the lords under their command, and then gather the troops. Logistics and supply are also issues that must be considered, and it is not possible to say that troops will be sent immediately.

However, if it is said that Long Aotian has officially begun mobilization, it means that the above work has been basically completed and has entered the stage of troop summoning.

Wu Feng asked, "How many people?"

"Conservative estimates, three thousand. Seeing that everyone seemed to be relieved, Su Mengzhen added two words: "Soldiers." ”

Lin Xiuzhen and the others couldn't help but gasp.

In this expedition, among the tens of thousands of troops in the Divine Hall, there were only 6,000 soldiers.

Now the defenders of Anxiang City have 3,000 soldiers, and if you add 3,000 reinforcements, the number will not be lost to the temple at all.

Ji Hongyan stood up and asked, "How long will it take to arrive?"

She had suffered such a serious injury in the previous duel with Zhao Zongsheng, and she had almost recovered in just a few days. Su Mengzhen once teased her that although Ruoxue is a girl, her physique is as thick as a wild boar.

Only when Su Mengzhen said this, she wouldn't be annoyed.

Su Mengzhen said calmly: "At least eight days, at most twelve days." If you are a pure soldier, even if you are a foot soldier, you can travel very fast. ”

Su Guang can always investigate this kind of thing very clearly. And his younger brother Su Can is better at coordinating internal relations and handling internal affairs.

Su Can said: "In other words...... We're running out of time. If you can't break through Anxiang City before the arrival of Shenxiao reinforcements, you can only continue to transfer reinforcements from the rear, and then fight with the coalition forces outside the city. ”

"It's risky. Wu Feng immediately said: "Our rear is not stable. ”

Four years ago, Su Mengzhen's attack on Tianzi Peak failed miserably, losing a large number of elite soldiers, and many wealthy clans and tribes also had dissenting people. Although he is now allied with Tianzi Peak, it is still not appropriate to continue to transfer soldiers over.

Moreover, the Sanhe infantry is known for its defensive power, and Shenxiao Dao is known for its elite archers, once the two are combined to produce a complementary effect, the chances of victory on the Shentang side will not be great.

Lin Xiuzhen glared at Wu Feng: "What do you mean, is there only retreat now?"

Su Mengzhen said: "If you can't break through Anxiang City in time, retreat is also a last resort." When the enemy's reinforcements officially arrive, the morale of the enemy and the enemy will be greatly reduced, and if you fight again, there is almost no chance of victory. ”

These days of fierce siege, the Shentang army is indeed very tired, and the losses are not small, especially the battle of the booby trap and blood killing camp.

After the fiasco four years ago, Su Mengzhen has become a lot more relaxed. This time, the troops seized some land, and basically destroyed the ace blood killing camp left by Li Qing, even if the army was withdrawn, it could be regarded as its results.

But he was unwilling after all.

He has put in too much effort, and it is clear that the city of peace and tranquility is about to fall, but it is very likely that it will fall short.

The plan to annex the Three Rivers Sword Sect has been in the works for twenty years. However, if this opportunity is lost, there may never be another chance.

After recovering from the civil strife, Shenxiao's cohesion will only get stronger and stronger, and the mobilization power will only get higher and higher. And Sanhe survives under the wings of Shenxiao, and will not give Su Mengzhen any opportunity to take advantage of.

Until the Shenxiao Three Rivers Alliance attacked the shrine with overwhelming forces. At that time, Tianzi Peak may provide reinforcements, but it is more likely to take advantage of the fire to rob.

Su Mengzhen was sighing secretly in his heart, but saw Wu Feng raise his voice and said, "I didn't say that. ”

Lin Xiuzhen sighed and asked, "So, what is the best plan for Wu Feng's son?"

Wu Feng did not answer directly, but said: "Shenxiao has just finished the civil strife, and he sent reinforcements, although there are not many, but Long Aotian must have overcome many resistances despite public opinion. ”

He also said: "It is not easy to convince Long Aotian, there is only one person in the entire Three Rivers Sword Sect who can do this-that is Li Xun, the prince of the Three Rivers. ”

Lin Xiuzhen said: "Sounds reasonable, but what's the use?"

Wu Feng smiled and waved his hand: "Don't say it, don't say it." ”

Then Huo Ran stood up, his temperament changed sharply, his eyes were suddenly as sharp as lightning, but his voice was as quiet as ice.

"In five days, two hundred soldiers will not break the peace, and no head will be spared. ”

Wu Feng raised his eyebrows and said categorically.

What he meant was that if he was unable to complete his mission, he would be willing to receive military justice and be beheaded.

The atmosphere in the arena froze for a moment.

Su Mengzhen was stunned and said, "Feng'er ......"

"Wu Feng can make a military order in the midst of ten thousand armies. Wu Feng said very decisively.

He hooked his fingers again and laughed: "However, I have one more condition. ”

"What conditions?" asked Su Mengzhen.

Wu Feng looked at Ji Hongyan's pretty face like an apple: "Wu needs Miss Ji to be my lieutenant." ”

When Lin Xiuzhen heard this, she was about to speak, but Su Can waved her hand to stop her.

I saw Su Can stand up and said eagerly: "No! Wu Feng's plan must be a risk, this is just his own decision, if he lets Miss Ji go with him, once it fails, my Divine Hall is likely to lose two talents......

In front of Su Mengzhen, Su Can would never directly show his hostility towards Wu Feng.

Ji Hongyan's eyes were like stars.

And then she was categorical.

"As long as Wu Feng dares to make a military order-"

"If the snow is to give up his life, he will obey. ”

Her eyes were sharp, and she forced her gaze at Wu Feng: "Only this time, but if the plan fails, I will retreat by myself and will not save you." ”

Wu Feng was under her fierce gaze, but his expression was still extremely calm.

"It's a deal. ”

Wu Feng high-fived.
