55 The Battle of Phoenix City
Qin Guangren rode on a dark-skinned war horse, both of which were equipped with platinum armor weighing hundreds of catties, and a silver scimitar two meters long was held diagonally in his right hand.
Single-handedly galloped under the closed city gate, and roared at the soldiers on the city wall who drew their bows and aimed at them, "Zhao Ponu, if you know each other, you will obediently hand over Fengxiao City, this is the territory of the Loulan Dynasty on the Western Regions Continent, but it is not the place where you Central Plains people should come!"
In the face of the hundreds of sharp bows and arrows that firmly locked his position, Qin Guangren was not afraid, but showed a heroic spirit of "the people in the world, who else should I be", but the current situation is not the case, now it is Qin Guangren's imposing tens of thousands of iron cavalry troops coming to the city, asking Zhao Ponu to take the initiative to hand over the city and then withdraw back to their territory in the Central Plains.
These tens of thousands of iron horsemen were also recruited by Qin Guangren in just a few days, so they didn't have a long period of professional training, and at most they were just filling up the number of people here and putting pressure on the other party.
Qin Guangren also had to leave some soldiers to garrison the capital of Loulan, so as not to let the guards of other cities go over and plunder his military power in Loulan.
Although the Loulan Dynasty includes the four major cities of "Fengxiao, Phoenix, Liantang, and Loulan", there are still scattered small villages and towns. However, the city lords of the four major cities each have their own independent guards, even if the agreement states in black and white that they are loyal to the Loulan Dynasty, but there has always been constant friction between the four major cities, although it will not lead to a major war, but it will also disturb the people's lives.
The empress's ability is limited, and there is no way to deprive the other three city lords of the military power, and among the cities where the war is continuous, only Loulan, the capital city close to Lunyue Mountain, seems to be as calm as usual.
The military power of the lord of Loulan City was all handed over to the empress to control, and then commanded by Guangren. The lord of the city was only responsible for the food and daily life of the common people. In addition, the capital where the empress is located is very close to Delunyue Mountain, and Lunyue Mountain is a place where many heroes come out. In this way, to a certain extent, the deterrent effect of the Loulan capital city on the other three cities has been enhanced.
On the walls of the phoenix.
Zhao Ponu poured a full glass of "Drunken Dream" alone, which was the best wine in Fengxiao City, and it was carefully brewed by the Water Lotus Swamp. The spirits pierce the bowels and the heart is full of energy. Just a few days ago, Xu Tianfeng was beheaded on the spot by Zhao Ponu, because Zhao Ponu suspected that Xu Tianfeng was sent by Qin Guangren to act as a secret agent.
There is no such coincidence in the world, when Xu Tianfeng instigated himself to go to the Water Lotus Swamp in person, when he came back from collecting troops, he found that the barracks of the barracks had been raided. All the grain and grass in the military warehouse were killed by the enemy. The soldiers lacked life-sustaining food, and had to stay on guard day and night in case the Naloulan army attacked again. Over time, they became listless and weak.
What the broken slaves can do now is just try their best to appease the hearts of the people in Fengyan City, after all, the grain and grass they are looting now are all from the people in the city, and they originally thought that they could rule the city thoroughly, but they didn't expect that they would still be resented by the people, even if these civilians did not dare to speak out because of their own power, but the broken slaves knew. It was easy to take this city before, but it was because of the rampant corruption of corrupt officials here.
Zhao Ponu felt that Xu Tianfeng's plan was really clever, burning the military funds, and then letting himself go back to suppress the people and seize the people's grain and grass. In the end, he not only lowered his morale, but also lost the hearts of the people. Just wait for the Loulan Qin army to come to capture the city with great momentum.
And Zhao Ponu heard Qin Guangren's scolding under the city at this moment, although he was very unhappy in his heart, he still had to continue to endure it, he was waiting, waiting for one person, and his 10,000 army.
A few days ago, a messenger sent an urgent message, saying that Wang Hui was in the Cheshi Kingdom and had a good conversation with many generals who originally belonged to the Cheshi King -- saying that if they were subordinate to the Han Dynasty, they would have no worries for thousands of generations, and that the Han Dynasty was the most powerful power in the world, and it was not like the Loulan allies of the Cheshi Kingdom, who flew southeast in danger and abandoned their Cheshi without caring about them.
Wang Hui also talked about the trade-offs between returning to the Han Dynasty or forming an alliance with Loulan, which persuaded many generals to bring their original troops and then publish recruitment posts among the people, which attracted more than 10,000 troops.
However, the messenger had said a few days ago that Wang Hui had already led an army of 10,000 to rush over, ready to join his own forces, and then both of them would go south to capture Loulan. But many days have passed, and Wang Huiren didn't wait, but the Loulan Qin army himself waved the flag first and killed the general.
I don't know if Wang Hui was ambushed by something, these days, all the messengers sent by the slaves to the Cheshi have gone and never returned.
"General, now is really a great opportunity! Why don't we just shoot that Qin Guangren to the ground with an arrow, and when their morale drops greatly, we will rush out of the city and kill them without leaving a single piece of armor!"
"General, don't move at this time, when will you stay? Don't miss the opportunity, the time will not come again!! General Wang Hui has not come for a long time, I'm afraid ...... I'm afraid ......"
Many lieutenants lined up under the stage and knelt down to plead.
Zhao Ponu smiled coldly, but there was a hint of sadness in his smile.
Po Nu slowly put down the cup of "Drunken Dream", waved his sleeves, and said awe-inspiringly: "Bring my armor here." ”
"General, we can have a better solution, why do ......we want to take this risk?
"Are you saying that I can't defeat Qin Guangren?" Zhao Ponu reached out and took the Beast Thunder Scimitar presented by the guards, and weighed it repeatedly, this was a peerless knife created by the Phoenix Chick Senior Enchanter "Silver Eye" Zijie.
The enchanter confessed that this knife was made of the indestructible bones of the thunder beast and the peerless and rare black gold mine (because it belongs to the rare mineral deposits of the Western Regions, so it is extremely rare, implying the sleeping king in the dark world) After 7749 days, it was tempered by thunder and storms, and the essence of the sun and moon bath. Then take out the Thunder Spirit Bead from the heart of the Thunder Beast and inlay it into the hilt made of the Thunder Beast's fangs through an enchanted spell. Let the endless stream of thunder and lightning elements containing the thunder beast fill the blade of the hilt. With a blade more than four meters long and a handle more than one meter long, the meniscus blade is sharp and impermanent.
When the mortal looked at it, his face was full of shock.
It is rumored that as soon as the blade comes out, it will surely thunder, lightning into the form of a fierce beast, and instantly fall from the sky, devouring the enemy to the ashes! The cold and cold hilt of the knife made the broken slave hold it in the palm of his hand, and his right hand couldn't help but shudder.
The sword personally created by the high-level enchanter in Phoenix City is indeed extraordinary.
Zhao Ponu finished weighing it, and then pressed it on the table with one hand. Putting on a set of platinum armor that was no different from that worn by Qin Guangren under the city gate, he smiled loudly, and at the same time wielded the Beast Thunder Scimitar: "The treasure knife is matched with armor, I can't imagine that there are quite a lot of treasures in this Phoenix City." ”
Some subordinates were worried and persuaded and said, "General, the enchanters in that city have colluded with the original government before, it's hard to say if they will have a rebellious heart, if they use the weapons and armor they gave them, I'm afraid it will be ......."
"Yes, and where did the thunder beasts and monsters come from between heaven and earth, what kind of enchanter is obviously bragging, demagoguery......"
Zhao Ponu was distraught and held the Beast Thunder Scimitar in his hand, and the heavy weight was transmitted to the floor through his legs, and he actually pressed out cracks on the floor!
"Do you mean that the general's mind has already been bewitched by him?" Zhao Ponu smiled with disdain on his face, "Then you should tell me, if you shoot that Qin Guangren to death on the spot, who will be sent to the front and be the first to go out of the city to resist the enemy?"
"There should be a lot of people who have escaped from the city in the past few days, right? Do we still have the luxury of expecting to win more with less than in the face of his tens of thousands of iron horsemen?" When Zhao Ponu asked these words, his own heart suddenly shook violently, and he couldn't believe that such a bold words could actually come from his own mouth.
Everyone in the audience was speechless.
The brave and resolute Xu Tianfeng has been killed by the broken slaves, and none of these many generals have the slightest courage from him, in Zhao Ponu's opinion, these guys are at most just rice buckets who came here to eat military salaries.
