"Uncle Huangtai, Fang Ruitao doesn't seem to be here, the leader here is his fourth wife, that is, Zhu Yunmei, the city lord of Luoyu City. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info," explained Huac, the patriarch of the Berun family.

"Zhu Yunmei, that woman's courage is indeed a little smaller, she can only defend, it seems that this army has withdrawn to Snow Wolf Pass, we can't let them slip away from pursuing it with all our might." Vatis smiled, and seemed to be quite contemptuous of Zhu Yunmei.

The intelligence gathering work of the Durrant Empire is not very good, and in their impression, the highest force in the Shouyang Territory is still the two first-rank sages who joined forces to deal with Dinan. After learning that Zhao Pingyan and Liao Yongfei were still in the Civil and Military Comprehensive Academy in Shouyang Territory, and Helena and Fang Ruitao, one of the two 'First Rank Sages', were not in the army, they were naturally bolder.

Therefore, Vatis didn't make a move, he just asked Hua Tu to search in the direction of Snow Wolf Pass with two first-grade sages to find the other party's retreat route. Among the two Sage-level masters who were with Hua Tu, one of them had served in the army, and he had a lot of experience in tracking, and the three of them flew all the way, and the Sage frowned more and more tightly as he flew. "Prince Huatu, the situation seems to have changed. The Sage finally couldn't help it.

"Oh, what does Brother Chen Chao think?" Hua Tu heard this tracking expert speak, of course he had to listen to it, after all, tracking the other party also needed his help.

"I found that these footprints have changed a little, this road seems to be huge, but in fact there are not many of them, it seems to be those rebellious earth dragon knights, and on the other side of the official road, there are obvious traces of a large group of people marching. Chen Chao shook his head and said, "I don't know what the rebellious Earth Dragon Knights are going to do, but they have obviously broken away from the large army, maybe they are deliberately luring us to Snow Wolf Pass to cover the retreat of the large army." ”

"What? You can see clearly, their large army didn't go to Snow Wolf Pass?" Hua Tu also frowned.

"I dare to vouch, absolutely not, they seem to be divided into two ways, but I don't know why they did this, could it be that those rebellious Earth Dragon Knights planned to escape because they saw that the Shouyang Territory was gone?" Chen Chao couldn't figure out why the other party didn't go back to Snow Wolf Pass, but chose another path.

"I know this road, this road leads to the city of Kun. The other Sage was familiar with the terrain and immediately recognized the path heading.

"It's bad, they're not going to Snow Wolf Pass, but Kun Gong City, we need to report back as soon as possible. If we let the army go in the wrong direction, chase it all the way to Snow Wolf Pass, and then let the opponent attack from behind, our losses will be great. Hua Tu was obviously not a mediocre person, and immediately thought of the key problem, and they quickly gave up the pursuit and hurried towards their own army.

After hearing that the Shouyang army did not withdraw to the Snow Wolf Pass, but went to Kun Gong City, Vatis snorted coldly: "It seems that they are not giving up, and they still want to hold on to Kun Gong City?" Okay, very good, it seems that this time the sky is going to kill them, let's set off immediately, the army is directly aimed at Kun Gong City, and we must annihilate the main force of the other party here." ”

Discerning the direction, the Durrant army immediately set out in the direction of the city of Kun. The city was not far from the Nida grassland, and by dawn, the retreating Shouyang army had already returned to the city. Wu Chengfeng, who had already received the news, had already prepared housing and food in the city, anyway, the people here had already moved out before the war, and there were empty houses.

After the army settled down, Zhu Yunmei and Wu Chengfeng immediately began to arrange the city defenses. Zhu Yunmei has guarded Luoyu City for many years, and Wu Chengfeng also has the experience of sticking to the Blue Pass, and he is quite familiar with the various tools made by Ruitao to defend the city, so they quickly established the city defense of Kun Gong City.

After the army passed, Wu Chengfeng considered that Kun Gong City would become the most important logistics base of the army for a long time in the future, so she has been constantly strengthening the defense of Kun Gong City. Not only were the walls heightened and thickened, but the urn castles were added at the four gates, and the corner towers and arrow towers were also erected.

Now that the city needed to be fought, Wu Chengfeng's expansion came into play, and in addition to repairing the city walls, the army began to pile up earthen platforms under the city walls to facilitate the placement of the heavy catapults in the army. The defense of Kun Gong City has gradually taken shape, and it is no longer at the same level as the original fortifications, and if the Durrant army attacks the city with old experience, it will definitely die a miserable death.

The city was preparing for battle, the army of more than 100,000 was divided into several echelons, and quickly assigned its own defensive area, and Vartis did not waste time, and the army he led arrived at the city of Kun and Gong two days later.

Now there are more than 700,000 soldiers under the command of Vartus, which is one-fifth of the standing army of the Durrant Empire, and in terms of high-end force, it has accounted for about 90% of the Durrant Empire, at least 90% of their strength on the surface.

Although he is quite confident in his own Sage-level masters, he will not destroy it if he can not break the covenant, after all, this reputation is not good for the Durrant Empire. What Vartis had in mind was to force the other party to use the Sage-level masters first, so that they could occupy the moral high ground, so it was still the ordinary army that started to attack the city first.

The most powerful of the Earth Dragon Legion is the cluster charge in the field, and Vartis is very aware of this, so it is the troops belonging to the regular army that start the siege first. The reason why Vartis delayed arriving at the city for a day was because he was full of cavalry troops and did not carry any siege equipment at all, and during this time he was waiting for the various siege equipment that had just been delivered from Dima City.

Speaking of siege equipment, the Durrant Empire is also quite simple, except for the ladder, there are only bows and arrows that cannot be used by cavalry. In addition, there are several new siege weapons that have just been invented by craftsmen, but these are still in the experimental stage and the number of equipment is not large.

The first offensive was only tentative, and in addition to one division of the regular army of the Empire, two divisions of the Berune family were dispatched. In order to find out the deployment of defensive weapons in the entire city, the 60,000 horses were divided into four groups and launched attacks simultaneously in four directions throughout the city.

For these simple tricks, Zhu Yunmei and the others naturally saw clearly, they did not expose all their firepower, and only used the Zhuge crossbow at the head of the city to shoot to stop the other party's advance. The Durrant army was divided into two parts, the warriors in front with shields and swords in their hands, and the ones in the back with longbows, but when they reached the range of four hundred meters, a large number of Zhuge crossbows at the head of the city began to fire at the same time, and the dense rain of arrows aimed at the archers in the rear, so that they were killed one after another before they could enter their effective range.
