Chapter 257: The Battle of Tianshu
Tianshu City, greedy wolf, broken army, seven killings, the three major leaders of the Great Qin Secret Art Tribe, at this moment they are listening to the instructions of the Secret Art Patriarch Donghuang Taiyi.
"It is said that Yuan Shu and Yuan Tan brothers from Jizhou are coming to lead the Sky Fighting Horse, right?" Donghuang's voice was very low and chilling.
"Patriarch Hui, yes, some of the subordinates are not the ghost riders of Youzhou, not the subordinates who are light enemies, although the sky-fighting horses of Jizhou are also considered elite, but they can't compete with us at all." Greedy wolf, sensitive and clever, sociable, strong learning ability, resourceful, ambitious, cultivated [Storm Giant], the peak of the realm [Refining Void Combination], half-step grandmaster.
"What the greedy wolf said is right, this time the secret art tribe dispatched 3,000 people, there are still 30,000 border guards in Tianshu City, and 20,000 ordinary soldiers, and the gold-clothed cavalry is already less than 100,000, we will definitely be able to win the battle." Breaking the army, in terms of attack power alone, can compete with the Eastern Emperor, but I do my own thing, like the new and hate the old, stubborn personality, heavy resistance, not easy to cooperate, lack of flexibility, every time I argue in trouble, I don't recognize my six relatives, and I have a bad reputation in the clan.
The cultivation of the peerless [Yanyang True Sutra], the peak of the realm [Refining the Void Combination Dao], and the half-step grandmaster.
"Patriarch, the subordinates think that they should show weakness to the enemy, and let the ordinary soldiers fight first, although it will cause certain casualties, but as long as the gold-clothed cavalry is introduced into the trap, then the subordinates are sure that at least half of them will be left." Seven kills, do things simply and decisively, do not drag mud and water, be bold, honest and selfless, but deceive the good and fear of evil, like to play tricks on people, impatient personality is not stable enough, radical thinking, experienced hardships in the early years, and is considered a late bloomer.
The cultivation of the peerless [ethereal trace], the peak of the realm [refining the void and the way], the half-step grandmaster. The Eastern Emperor thought for a while and made a decision.
"What the Seven Kills said is good, tell the Tianshu City Lord that these 20,000 people are used to consume the artillery of the Great Zhou, and this seat does not want them to come back alive. In addition, the three of you will each bring a thousand people, and trap them in the [Spirit Void-Three Talents] array, remember that at least 70,000 people will be left behind in this golden-clothed horseman. ”
"Yes, my subordinates understand." Hai Dafu, the lord of Tianshu City, is an upright person, deeply loved by the people in the city, and the cultivation of the peerless [Tianchi Yin and Yang Hand], the realm [refining the void and the way].
When he got the order of the Eastern Emperor, he trembled all over, these 20,000 people are locals, who live in Tianshu City all the year round, and they usually get along like brothers.
"Three adults, can you beg the Eastern Emperor, these 20,000 can't all die."
"Hmph, the order of the Eastern Emperor must not be disobeyed, it is already a great gift to let the people move out in advance, don't get an inch, if you don't do this, more people will die, don't you understand?" The three of them told the Tianshu City Lord the order, and then began to arrange in the city.
Hai Dafu sat down on the chair dejectedly, and the adjutant Lian Zhen walked out, and he also heard the conversation just now.
"City Lord, let your subordinates pass the order, I believe the brothers will be able to understand the hardships of the adults." Hai Dafu sat up suddenly: "No, I'll go in person, call Jumen and Lu Cun, I want to accompany them in this battle, I want to live together, I want to die together, and I am responsible for evacuating the people in the city." At the same time, Yuan Shu and Yuan Tan had already taken the gold-clothed horse towards Tianshu City.
Yuan Tan complained all the way: "Big brother, can a small Tianshu City come with all the golden clothes, they only have a rabble of 30,000 defenders and 20,000 militiamen. ”
"Second brother, Tianshu City is also the border of Qin State in Xiaoxiao, and Qin Shu will definitely send people to support." Yuan Shu could still keep calm, but he was still careless.
"I also thought of this, but with the location and deployment of Tianshu City, unless all the secret tribes are transferred, but it is impossible, they must protect Loulan, except for them, even if there are another 100,000 people, as long as we surround the city, they should run out of ammunition and food in a few days, not to mention that we still have artillery."
"Don't complain, I'm not happy to fight, wait until Tianshu arrives, just bombard him for two hours, consume half of the shells first, blow him up, and then we will pick up peaches." Yuan Tan also smiled when he heard this, this credit is really at his fingertips.
At the Yumen Gate, Sun Feng looked at Yuan Shu who was leaving and shook his head. Chonglou was also on a plate, and then said: "General, Yuan Shu and Yuan Tan have already set off, and they are positive." Of course, Sun Feng knew Yuan Shu's thoughts, and said: "They are afraid that Great Qin's reinforcements will be faster than them, so they can't wait to take Tianshu first, but if I were Qin Shu, I would definitely send the strongest person to guard Tianshu, so as to get the most powerful kill." ”
"What does the marshal mean is that the Mystic Tribe is in Tianshu City?" Chonglou was shocked, if this is really the case, then I am afraid that there will be no return for these few nights.
But since Sun Feng had already guessed, in order not to tell Yuan Shu, if the Jinyi Cavalry was wiped out, it would not be beneficial to Da Zhou at all.
In my impression, Sun Feng is not a person with a small belly and chicken intestines, regardless of the overall situation. Sun Feng also saw Chonglou's doubts, and then explained: "Don't worry, Lord White Tiger, the Western Seven Residences, and the Star Officials have already followed, if the Mystic Tribe is really there, with Lord White Tiger, the Golden Rider will definitely be able to survive." Chonglou was relieved, and the other states and departments also headed towards their target cities.
"Order Ma Zhong, Xiang Chong, Wang Ping, and Deng Zhi to each lead their headquarters to quickly advance towards Loulan, and the artillery and musket troops are led by you personally, since Qin Chu dares to send out the secret art tribe, let him see how powerful we are."
"It's a subordinate, so I'll go." Chonglou's blood is boiling, and after three years, he can finally avenge his brothers with a shame.
Outside Tianshu City, Hai Dafu and Lian Zhen, Jumen, and Lu Cun sat together in the big tent of the Chinese army. At this time, the scout came to report: "Report, Qiqi City Lord, Jizhou Zhengtian Cavalry has camped twenty miles away from the outside of the city, and will launch an attack tomorrow depending on the situation." ”
"It's so fast, it's not okay to ride for the sky, it's still fast, how many cannons and muskets do they have."
"Back to the city lord, there are ten cannons, and the number of muskets is unknown." Hai Dafu waved his hand, and the scout immediately retreated.
"City Lord, it seems that Sun Feng's main target is still Loulan, otherwise it would be impossible to only let Zhengtian Ride with these firearms." Lian Zhen, the cultivation of the [Eight Gates Dunjia], the realm [Refining the Void and the Dao], he is delicate, and wants to find a life for the people of Tianshu City in this desperate situation.
"It's a lot, if the ten artillery pieces keep bombarding and bombing, our 20,000 people will definitely suffer heavy casualties, and fighting for the sky is not an ornament, this is really a mortal situation, the hateful Eastern Emperor, he really dares to do anything for victory." Jumen has a fiery temper, and he doesn't care about the Eastern Emperor, and he cultivates the peerless [Heavenly Frost Fist], and the realm [Refining the Void and Combining the Dao].
Hai Dafu sighed lightly, if it weren't for his lack of strength, he would not be subject to the Eastern Emperor.
"City lord, the soldiers don't blame you, this time it's a national war, if you lose, Daqin will be in danger, in this case, it's better to take the initiative to fight to the death with the sky, maybe there is a glimmer of life." Lu Cun, short in stature, but strong in soul power, the cultivation of the peerless [soul infiltration], can be out of the body to possess the enemy, but only limited to those whose strength is weaker than him, the realm [practice the spirit to return to the void].
"Okay, since that's the case, let's survive in the death, and let the people of the world see the courage of our Tianshu men, and the people who come will prepare all the good wine and food for the soldiers, and tomorrow we will fight to the death with Da Zhou." Early the next morning, Yuan Shu came to call for the battle with 30,000 forwards, and was immediately happy when he saw that it was the city lord Hai Dafu who went out of the city to meet him in person.
"Yan Liang, have you seen it, the city lord personally went to battle, I'm afraid Qin Shu has already given up Tianshu City."
"The general can't be careless, according to intelligence, there are still 30,000 border guards in the city, and they haven't left, maybe there is an ambush somewhere." Yan Liang looked around, the terrain here was gentle, and there was no trace of an ambush, but for some reason he was always a little uneasy.
"What you said makes sense, so send 10,000 people to explore the bottom first, if there is an ambush, as the city lord is in a desperate situation, he will not come out if he doesn't believe it." Yuan Shu didn't want to cause too many casualties to Zhengtian Qi, Yan Liang was relieved when he heard this, and he was really afraid that this person would rush forward.
So he took 10,000 people to fight for the sky and rushed towards Hai Dafu.
