037 Dilemma

At this time, under the walls of Wuji City, the Liang army swept in like a dark cloud, sweeping up the smoke and dust in the sky, and under the diffuse of the morning sun, the sky and the earth were gray. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Wuji City is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and has a geographical advantage in defending the city, if you want to break through the city, you can only force it in the front, and there is no other way to do it, at this time, the Feiyun army has already come to the city, and the army is spread out under the city wall, and it seems that it is ready to fight with all its might.

Suddenly looking at the past, the Feiyun Army was clearly divided into five routes, namely the left and right wings, the front and rear armies, and the Chinese army located in it.

There are 10,000 new troops on the left and right wings, each led by a Shenwu military captain, who is responsible for attacking the city walls on both sides of the city gate, but it is mainly to contain the main force, not the main force of the siege. Such a heavy task is naturally the responsibility of the front army, there are 30,000 horses, almost half of the strength of the new army, and Liang Sanmad is cautious, and he even arranges two masters as commanders.

Standing in front of him was a large man, this person swept the ground like a mountain, and stood so quietly in front of the city, it gave people a great pressure, as if as long as this person was there, any attack would be fearless.

Another middle-aged man was surrounded by a longbow, this person carried an arrow bag and held a longbow, although the five short figures were not good-looking, a square face, and seemed to be plain, but when the eyes were slightly opened, there was a sharp gaze like an eagle.

Although these two people are not simple, but their faces are quite unfamiliar, they have been trapped in Wuji City for more than two months, and they have experienced countless battles and battles, but almost no one has seen these two people, obviously they are new to this place.

Another 20,000 new troops as a rear army, commanded by the deputy general Liang Wuchang, in the last round of siege warfare, due to the failure of his command, the lost troops will not be defeated, obviously has lost the trust of the main general, the master of the eight-layer blood exchange realm, such an important battle to the death, was actually excluded from the main lineup.

The Chinese army is the most important in the middle, although the strength of the five roads is the last, it is only three or four thousand people, but when it comes to combat power, it is the strongest, and the Shenwu army can be one of ten, don't look at the small number of soldiers in the middle army, but its combat power is enough to reach 70,000 or 80,000 soldiers.

At the head of the city, the soldiers defending the city looked down at the city, but they were all panicked in their hearts, whether it was morale or combat effectiveness, Wuji City was already at an absolute disadvantage, and it was not so easy to defend the city.

Fortunately, Wuji City only has one city wall, and it is completely possible to concentrate its forces on one gate, otherwise how can it hold on for more than two months? However, if you want to rely on the 40,000 new troops with limited combat strength and the only remaining 2,000 Shenwu troops to defend the city, it is still a little stretched in terms of troops, and the situation is obviously not optimistic.

Ziyunyan was wearing golden battle armor, surrounded by several subordinates, and was leaning on the battlement with his sword, and a pair of sharp eyes looked out from afar under the city wall, as if he wanted to find the trace of Liang Sanmad among the enemy army.

Although the distance is not very far, but the sky and the earth are hazy, and the enemy army under the city is like a dark cloud.

However, although she didn't see Liang San crazy, the two generals who took the lead in the Feiyun Army made her heart sink involuntarily.

"General Zi, that's Shi Tianlong, the Rite Department Sima of Feiyun City. ”

Wan Cangsong stepped forward and stretched out his hand, Tie Shoushan and the others looked in the direction of their fingers, but what they saw was a tower-like man, this person stood under the city wall, his momentum was extremely extraordinary, and it was obviously not something they could deal with.

"Mao Dun Jebe, this person is not only the number one marksman in Feiyun City, but also proficient in arranging troops, ranking among the military commanders. ”

The look on Wan Cangsong's face was a little bitter, as the elder of the three dynasties of Wuji City, of course he was quite familiar with the old rival Feiyun City, these two Simas were not weak, he couldn't be unrecognizable.

Tie Shoushan and several other captains glanced at each other, and they all found the heavy look on each other's faces, these two Simas who were originally in Feiyun City suddenly appeared on the battlefield, it can be seen that the reinforcements from Feiyun City have arrived, and the situation seems to be more severe than imagined.

It's just that a few of them didn't notice it, Ziyunyan, who was looking into the distance, moved her expression, but her brows couldn't help frowning, she suddenly found that Liang San was crazy in the Chinese army, but this was nothing, but what really moved her was General Liang's side, which was an inconspicuous old man.

Zhao Chengfeng, the foreign envoy of Feiyun City, the master of the ninth layer of the Yuan body, with this person to help on the battlefield, plus Shi Tianlong and Mao Dun Zhebe, two masters, no matter how Ziyunyan could calm down, her heart couldn't help but sink, she had lost the certainty of victory.

What if this battle is lost?

Although there are tens of thousands of enemy soldiers, it is not impossible for him to escape with his cultivation.

However, in Yi Tian in the narrow valley, how can Ziyunyan give it up?

From a young age, she was born for this person until the end of her life.

These thoughts were just fleeting, and they didn't immerse her in them.

Zi Yunyan knew very well in her heart that she was the commander of the three armies of Wuji City, not only could she not be discouraged, but she could not show pessimism, otherwise Wuji City would definitely be defeated.

"Lie Changkong, Song Shixiong obey orders!"

Zi Yunyan forcibly suppressed his emotions and ordered in a deep voice: "The two of you, each leading the three hundred Shenwu troops and the six thousand new troops, must guard the city walls on the east and west sides. ”

"Yes!"

Song Shixiong and Lie Changkong suddenly responded, stepped forward to clench their fists and take orders, and then retreated and prepared to go.

Song Shixiong's original task was to guard the City Lord's Mansion, but at the fourth watch, he received a military order from Zi Yunyan, asking him to immediately evacuate the City Lord's Mansion and lead the troops to the front line to defend the city.

This military order, even if Song Shixiong is sluggish, he can still detect that the young city lord has been transferred privately, and of course the city lord's mansion does not have to be guarded.

Although he was inferior in cultivation, he was better than he was young and talented, and he was immediately entrusted with the important task of guarding the city wall on the side by Ziyunyan.

As for the spear battalion captain Lie Changkong, he is naturally Bai Zhanyu's henchman, and he is afraid that he may not be able to use it at a critical moment, but now in Wuji City, there are only a handful of people who can be used!

"Shi is responsible, listen to the order!"

"You lead 800 Shenwu troops and 10,000 new troops, and you must guard the city gates. ”

Zi Yunyan's expression was majestic, and he continued to order: "Tie Shoushan, listen to the order!"

"You lead 1,000 Shenwu troops and 20,000 new troops as the main force to defend the city. ”

Shi Dang and Tie Shoushan glanced at each other, and the two of them clasped their hands into fists, and suddenly retreated.

"Wan Sima!"

Sima Wan Cangsong of the Ministry of Works, who is the head of the six departments, Ziyunyan has no authority to order, so he has to negotiate in a tone: "The rest of the old and young women and children, as long as there is still a lot of strength, they will be handed over to you to dispatch, and you must ensure the fortifications." ”

"General Zi, the old man will not disgrace his life!"

Wan Cangsong only said one sentence, then turned around and retreated, but the weight of this sentence may only be understood by him in his heart.

The city wall is already precarious, and the people are dizzy with hunger, where can they have the strength to build the city wall? Moreover, the most difficult problem is that there is no Kunshi to strengthen the city wall, so they can only tear down the east wall and make up the west wall, and try all means to survive today's battle.

Troops began to be deployed on the city wall, and the deployment of defending the city was underway, but the Feiyun army under the city wall did not seem to be in a hurry to launch an offensive.

Shi Tianlong didn't know what his idea was? He began to bury pots and cook rice under the city wall, first setting up more than a dozen cauldrons, lighting firewood and starting to boil water, and more than a dozen low-priced unicorn sheep were driven up, and the firehead soldiers began to kill sheep and cook meat.

In a short time, smoke curled everywhere, the broth in the cauldron was boiling, and a strong smell of meat wafted out, which was slowly carried up the city wall by the breeze.

At this moment, it seemed that a stone was thrown into the calm lake, and the soldiers defending the city were immediately in an uproar, greedily inhaling the smell of meat and lying on the wall, but their eyes were hooked on the broth in the pot, and the Adam's apple rolled and swallowed saliva, and the scene was sad.

Wuji City has been out of food for more than half a month, the soldiers have not been supplied for a long time, they are already hungry, and the women and children are also dizzy.

Shi Tianlong stepped forward proudly and said loudly: "Listen in the city, the general knows that there is a shortage of food in the city, and you are already hungry, so I hereby prepare meat for enjoyment." ”

Speaking of this, he looked around with cold eyes and majesty, and ordered sharply: "All the soldiers listen to the order, but all the people and soldiers who come down to eat and drink in Wuji City can be regarded as their own brothers, and all the troops must not be embarrassed, let alone killed for no reason, otherwise the military law will be severely punished." ”

As soon as the words fell, the soldiers behind him responded in unison: "Yes!"

On the city wall, both soldiers and civilians looked at each other, although they were hungry and cooing, but they didn't know what the Feiyun Army was doing? No one dared to go down to eat without permission, but their eyes were staring directly at the cauldron, and the harazi flowed down the corners of their mouths.

The morale of defending the city was already low, but after this play, the only remaining fighting spirit was almost lost, and the soldiers and people guarding the city wall just wanted to go down to the city to have a full meal at this time, even if their heads were cut off after they were full, they were probably willing, and they didn't have any intention to defend the city at all.

Zi Yunyan's heart couldn't help sinking, and he turned his eyes to look at Wan Cangsong next to him, only to find that his expression was also difficult to look at, obviously insight into the other party's tricks.

Shi Tianlong has a rough appearance, looking like a reckless man with five big and three rough, but he can become the Sima of the Flying Cloud City Rite Department, obviously he is not a brainless horseman, and on the contrary, this person is extremely scheming, otherwise he would set up such a vicious scheme?

Wuji City has been out of food for several days, and both sides are well known, but only Shi Tianlong took advantage of this point to cook meat in a pot under the city wall, as if he was sending food and drink.

At this time, as long as the first person to eat crabs appears, there will be a domino effect, and when the soldiers and people in the city flock away, the defense line of the people's hearts will collapse, and the city of Wuji will be self-defeating.

This is a conspiracy, if it is forcibly blocked, it will inevitably lose the hearts of the people, and Wuji City will not be able to defend it, but if it is left unchecked, I am afraid that sooner or later there will be the first person who has the courage to eat crabs, and the consequences will be unimaginable.

This is a dilemma, Ziyunyan is in a dilemma.
