Chapter 141: The Wind Rises and Clouds Occupy the Twin Cities

With the addition of martial arts masters, the siege is much easier.

In a city like Qingfeng City, normally speaking, the garrison troops stationed are basically traditional ordinary armies.

Although they heard that Mu Qianmei's army had come, they also deliberately strengthened their defenses, but for the martial arts masters on the rivers and lakes, such a strengthening was not of great significance.

In the dead of night, countless black-clothed people entered through the walls from different parts of Qingfeng City, and the defenders of the city gate were simply imaginary.

In just half an hour, the city gate was opened from the inside by Mu Qianmei's people, and the inside and outside should be combined, and they attacked the city in one go.

Previously, in order to support the battle of Snow City, the defenders here had been sent there to support, and the remaining troops were only more than 30,000 people.

The nearest Feiyun City only had 30,000 people left, and they also sent 20,000 people to support.

There are only more than 50,000 people in total.

When Mu Qianmei's 250,000 troops entered the city, they simply defended and immediately chose to retreat.

It's a pity that they don't even have a chance to retreat.

At the speed of the decent martial arts alliance, in less than two hours, they were surrounded by groups, and after only a moment of short combat, the opposing general reluctantly chose to surrender.

Forty-five thousand troops were surrendered.

At this time, Feiyun City, which was not far away, was like an empty city.

Mu Qianmei immediately made a decision, and immediately sent Zhuang Shujun to lead 50,000 horses to Feiyun City and occupy the city as quickly as possible.

However, overnight, Qingfeng City and Feiyun City fell into the hands of Mu Qianmei.

This was a temporary decision.

It was a bonus.

The two important cities of the Cloud Feather Kingdom changed hands overnight.

Sixteen years ago, the "sudden change in the wind and clouds" seems to be vivid, how beautiful it was at that time, and it also made the emperor of Yunyu change hands overnight.

Now, the loss of these two cities has become so easy that it seems that there is a certain number in the dark.

Many people are embarrassed when they talk about it.

Of course, all this is just the beginning, many troops are rushing here, and this is destined to be a place of unrest.

Today's loss does not necessarily mean that it can be garrisoned for a long time, and it is easy to attack the city and difficult to defend the city.

The million-strong army of Eastern Qin was about to descend on the city.

Will the troops of the crane in the clouds be able to arrive in time?

At this point, timing is everything.

Whoever arrives the fastest will have a good chance of capturing these two cities.

After occupying Qingfeng City and Feiyun City, Mu Qianmei immediately strengthened the defense, especially Qingfeng City, which was fortified layer by layer, and actually made six lines of defense.

Although some people felt that Mu Qianmei was too cautious in doing this, she just wanted to do it in her heart, and no one expressed half of her objection.

Even if Zhuang Shujun was in Feiyun City, Mu Qianmei still asked him to set up two lines of defense in case of emergency.

If Qingfeng City is unfortunately lost, they can still retreat to Feiyun City.

It was a busy night, and it was almost dawn before it was barely finished.

When the day was about to dawn, everyone seized the time to rest for two hours.

At noon the next day, just after lunch, news came that the army of the Eastern Qin Kingdom, which was following from Piaoyu City, had reached twenty miles away.

However, they set up camp there and did not seem to be in a hurry to storm the city.

Soon, news came that Zhang Xiaoting's 600,000 troops were also a hundred miles away and were coming quickly.

The army of Yuehua City, which was the closest to it, was also fifty miles away, and it was also rushing to Qingfeng City at full speed.

Three armies, together with a total of 1.1 million men.

Mu Qianmei's army, plus the surrendered army, was only 300,000 people.

And the crane troops in the clouds who came to the rescue from another road were still 200 miles away.

Counting the time, they are a day late.

A million-strong siege, can they hold on for a day?

Many people were just excited, and the news was like a scoop of cold water, extinguishing the enthusiasm that had just ignited in their hearts.

However, thinking of the six lines of defense arranged by Mu Qianmei, my heart was a little more stable.

In the city lord's mansion, the heroes gathered, Mu Qianmei sat on the main seat, and said calmly:

"The current situation is very critical, but we have no choice but to persevere. The first line of defense, we continue to strengthen, in addition to the archers, the masters of the decent martial arts alliance are mainly based on the first line of defense, stones, lime, grease, straw, etc., in addition to poisonous smoke, we must use everything in the city to transfer to the city gates as much as possible, this line of defense, it is best to hold on for more than half a day. ”

"If the first line of defense can hold out for six hours, and the back line of defense can be blocked layer by layer, and each line of defense can hold out for at least two hours, then we can survive until the arrival of reinforcements."

"If all the six lines of defense are breached, everyone must also maintain an orderly formation, evacuate calmly, and must not mess up the formation, as long as we can successfully withdraw to Feiyun City, we still have a city to defend, and at that time, our reinforcements will definitely be able to arrive."

Everyone quietly listened to her analysis and instructions, and they all kept nodding their heads in agreement.

The siege of a million-strong army is like an invisible mountain, which weighs down everyone's hearts.

How long can it last?

Can it be kept?

Fortunately, the attack had not yet arrived, and after discussing some specific details, the meeting quickly dispersed and continued to strengthen the arrangements for arming.

There were 200,000 troops in Qingfeng City, divided into two groups, half of them stuck to their posts, and half of them seized the time to rest.

There is plenty of food and grass in the city, and life is not to worry about.

The weather is cold and the road is slippery, and the snowflakes stop from time to time, and in such weather, the city still has an advantage.

After everything was arranged, Mu Qianmei explained the affairs of the city to Ouyang Bo, and asked Liu Tingfeng to go to Qingfeng Mountain in the western suburbs of Qingfeng City.

Qingfeng Mountain is located in the west of Qingfeng City, like a natural barrier, blocking the west of Qingfeng City.

Therefore, Qingfeng City only has three gates: the East Gate, the South Gate, and the North Gate.

At this time, Qingfeng Mountain is covered with heavy snow, covered in silver, and white.

Mu Qianmei and Liu Tingfeng stood on the top of the mountain peak, raised their eyes and looked out, and truly experienced the spectacular scene of thousands of miles of ice and thousands of miles of snow.

"Senior sister, in such weather, we might as well pour water on the city gate, freeze it into ice, and freeze it firmly, which must also bring certain difficulties to the enemy's siege!"

Liu Tingfeng said on a whim.

"Freezing? Hehe...... This is also a good idea, although it is not too useful, but for us, it is a moment to block one more moment, and when the enemy soldiers are approaching the city, every obstacle is very precious. ”

Mu Qianmei said with a light smile.

"I wonder when the enemy will start attacking the city? How much time do we have left to prepare and set up obstacles? ”

Liu Tingfeng asked.

"If at a normal pace, their three men will be able to gather in one place tomorrow morning, if they want to attack together, they will have to wait until tomorrow morning, if the two troops that arrive first attack first, they may attack tonight."

Mu Qianmei replied after calculating in her heart.

"I think it's more likely that they will attack tonight, and the convergence of their two forces, 350,000 people, is enough."

Liu Tingfeng guessed.

Mu Qianmei overlooks the entire Qingfeng City, from the south gate to the north gate there is a wide avenue straight through, the east gate is also a straight road, but after arriving at the intersection in the middle of the city, the west gradually shows an uphill situation, the road slowly becomes smaller, to the bottom of Qingfeng Mountain, there is only one path to Qingfeng Mountain.

The enemy's three-way army was approaching from these three directions, the 200,000 troops from Drifting Rain City would come from the south, the 150,000 troops from Yuehua City would come from the north, and Zhang Xiaoting's 600,000 troops would come from the east.

How will they attack the city?

Mu Qianmei couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Liu Tingfeng saw Mu Qianmei looking at Qingfeng City and pondering silently, knowing that she was thinking about defending the city again, and she also thought about it alone.

Mu Qianmei put herself in the other party's situation, and after thinking for a while, she said:

"I don't think they will attack the city tonight, three city gates, they have two armies, one south and one north, defend first but not attack, and wait for the arrival of 600,000 troops in the east, that is the best time to attack the city."

"Coming from afar, and the winter night is so cold, both armies have rested and reorganized for a night, and then they only need to hold the city gate, and the main army from the east will attack the city, wouldn't it be more advantageous!"

Liu Tingfeng thought about it, and couldn't help but feel that this was indeed their best choice.

"So how are we going to deal with it?"

Liu Tingfeng asked suspiciously.

"The enemy does not move, I will move first, since they want to encircle them, we will not let them succeed, the army from the south is 200,000, and it has been encamped and stationed, we do not have an advantage in attacking them, but the 150,000 troops from the north can only arrive tonight, we will not give them any time to breathe, directly send 100,000 elite soldiers, meet the head-on, and disappear their tired army in advance, for us, it is a rare opportunity!"

Mu Qianmei said with a little excitement.

Speaking of which, she even thought of another possibility on a whim!

"Tingfeng, the real purpose of their coming is not to attack the city, but to destroy us, we are now defending the city with an army of 200,000, in fact, when they attack the city, it doesn't make much sense to defend the city, sooner or later it will still be broken by them, in this city, there is not much difference between leaving 100,000 and leaving 200,000."

"If we lead 100,000 elite soldiers, first meet the 150,000 troops coming from Yuehua City, and then take advantage of the victory to attack Yuehua City, which is already empty, wouldn't it be more dominant!"

"Let's go to attack Yuehua City, maybe they will also go to the rescue, so that we have the initiative, and the crisis here may be easily resolved!"

Mu Qianmei said at a faster speed than usual, although she repeatedly controlled her emotions and tried to stay calm, she still couldn't help but feel a little excited.

How difficult it is to passively defend the city, although Qingfeng City and Feiyun City are very important and should be guarded, but compared to Yuehua City, this is insignificant.

Yuehua City is the capital of Yunyu Country and the main capital city of the entire country, and that is the most important place.

Leave 100,000 defenders here, try to hold on until the arrival of reinforcements, but on the other side, with lightning speed, quickly capture Yuehua City, it is best not to delay, the enemy will inevitably be moved.

Perhaps, this is the best way to crack it!

After Mu Qianmei finished speaking, she tried her best to calm down her mood first, and then calmly thought about it again.

After listening to Mu Qianmei's thoughts, Liu Tingfeng didn't react for a while.

I've been thinking about defending the city, where do I still want to take the initiative to attack?

After taking the initiative to attack, he even had to divide his troops to Yuehua City!

It's a bold idea.

"Isn't that too risky?"

Liu Tingfeng couldn't help but murmur rhetorically.

Mu Qianmei finally calmed down, and after thinking about it again, she still said firmly:

"This is actually our best move at the moment, because we left 200,000 troops to defend the city, which does not have much substantive significance, in front of a million army, how much difference is there between 100,000 and 200,000

This? The purpose of our defense of the city is only to wait for reinforcements, 100,000 troops defending the city, as long as the command is appropriate, can also support the arrival of reinforcements, we can destroy their 150,000 reinforcements here, and second, we can quickly rush to Yuehua City, capture that extremely important capital city, we will have more advantages. ”

"Of course, the adventure is indeed a bit risky, after 100,000 elite soldiers have wiped out 150,000, how much do we have left? How many defenders are there in Wolhua City? Is it really an empty city? If you can't capture Yuehua City, what will happen? ”

"It's all full of odds."

"However, since there is a possibility, we have to try. It's like gambling, when we win, we speed up the pace of our plan, and if we lose, we have to start all over again. ”

As he spoke, he couldn't help but become a little excited.

Liu Tingfeng also rarely sees the senior sister getting emotional.

After listening to this, he did not speak immediately, but quietly thought about how feasible this plan was.

After Mu Qianmei finished speaking, she did not immediately ask to go down the mountain, but continued to quietly look at the scenery in front of her and in the distance, and continued to think about her own thoughts.

Just like playing chess, now is the critical time.

Is it a lose-lose battle, or is it a different way to go? Don't be emotional, decide on the passion of the moment, but think twice.

After about two quarters of an hour, Mu Qianmei breathed a sigh of relief.

It was as if she had made up her mind.

Liu Tingfeng also played chess as usual, and after thinking about it for a long time, he nodded and said calmly:

"I think it's a feasible plan. However, the selection of 100,000 elite soldiers must be cautious, not only not too much to weaken the strength of the defenders of Qingfeng City, but also to ensure that there is enough strength to meet and destroy the enemy. ”

"Well, let's go back and discuss with everyone, and we must follow everyone's opinions on the selection of elite soldiers."

Mu Qianmei replied.

Only then did the two of them pat the snowflakes on their heads and bodies, and walked away quickly along the way they came.

Back at the City Lord's Mansion, Mu Qianmei immediately gathered everyone to discuss the matter.

Everyone's reaction was basically the same as Liu Tingfeng just now, they were all surprised at first, even incredible, and everyone was shocked, so they didn't immediately express their opinions.

After a long time and a lot of thought, everyone slowly felt that this plan was feasible, so they began to discuss the details of the specific implementation.

After discussion, Feng Tianyu and Ouyang Bo led 100,000 troops to stay in Qingfeng City, and the people from the two factions of Wanhua Valley and Ethereal Pavilion also stayed.

Mu Qianmei, Liu Tingfeng, Master of the Phantom Sky, Tianyi Chang, the father and son of the Ximen family, the Nangong family, etc., plus the carefully selected 100,000 troops, will go out of the city tonight to meet the 150,000 troops coming from Yuehua City.

After the arrangements were made, it was almost dark, so everyone had an early dinner and then rested for a while.

Towards the end of the hour, spies reported that the enemy from the north had reached twenty miles away and was preparing to set up camp.

Mu Qianmei immediately ordered and set off immediately.

The army of 100,000 is basically dominated by people from the rivers and lakes.

All rode forward, the horses were still part of the enemy's remains, and the rest were temporarily acquired.

Due to the lack of quantity, some had to share a horse with two people.

An army of 100,000 rode horses, ran out of the north gate and galloped away.

Seeing them walk away, Ouyang Bo ordered to pour water and pour it on the city gate.

They felt that Liu Tingfeng's idea was also good, simple and practical, so they ordered it to be implemented.

Feng Tianyu originally wanted to go together, but later, when he thought about it, this defense of the city was also very important, so he had to give up.

However, watching the 100,000 army leave, he felt a little irrepressible loss in his heart.

He didn't speak, and returned to the city silently with Ouyang Bo.

The 100,000 army led by Mu Qianmei and Liu Tingfeng kept moving forward.

In only half an hour, they were already five miles from the enemy.

The enemy also had spies who discovered it and immediately lined up to prepare for battle.

When she was about to reach the enemy camp, Mu Qianmei ordered to let the master of the first team of masters go first.

Liu Tingfeng, Master Illusion Sky, Tianyi Chang, Nangong Yao, Ximen Yixiao father and son and other masters took the lead and rushed to the enemy formation.

A hundred paces away, enemy archers attack first.

Arrows rained down.

However, a group of masters turned a blind eye and continued to move forward quickly.

In a gesture, the arrow actually reflected back.

It didn't hurt the enemy when it was released, but it hurt a lot when it was reflected.

It's a battle of very different strengths.

Ordinary soldiers play against martial arts masters, and they are masters of masters.

The archers failed to stop for a moment, and before the enemy could react, an army of 100,000 had already begun to rush into the enemy position.

After all, the enemy formation had been arranged in advance, so although it was chaotic at first, it quickly formed a formation again.

However, in front of the masters, what about the formation?

After barely resisting for about a quarter of an hour, the formation was finally chaotic!

Strictly speaking, this cannot be called a war, it is basically a situation of slaughter.

When the casualties of the 150,000 army reached about 30,000, the enemy generals saw that their soldiers had basically lost their will to fight, and the other side was all from the martial arts, all of them were strong in martial arts, how to fight this battle?

The rout is a foregone conclusion.

The leader of the enemy army finally gave the order to abandon his weapons and surrender!
