On the cold land city, Ji Chen looked at the soldiers and horses swarming under the city with a gloomy face. Since there are large rivers flowing through the east and north of Hanlu City, most of these people are concentrated in the south and west, and only a small number of people are sent to monitor the other directions.

Hanlu City is not easy to fight, when this city was designed, it was also the Xiao River outside the city that was fancied, which could be used as a natural moat. If you want to cross the river under the noses of the defenders, and then climb the siege after crossing the river, how many lives will have to be filled.

Therefore, Ji Chen placed his place on the Yongning Gate in the south of the city. In the castle tower behind him, there is a dark room hidden in the city wall.

There was nothing in the dark room except for a square jade platform, and heavy guards were arranged outside the dark room. There is a groove on the jade platform, and its shape is no different from that of a short sword.

This is where the formation of Cold Land City is located, as long as you put the token in it, and then drop the blood of Ji Xin or his heirs, you can activate the formation.

There are three more such pivots, located in several other directions.

Gently stroking the short sword in his arms, Ji Chen finally saw the familiar figure, and sure enough, it was Ji Xian who arrived.

The two looked at each other for a long time, and Ji Xian, under the escort of his subordinates, came to the Yongning Gate.

"Young Master, don't come unharmed, could it be that you are the only one guarding the city this time." Ji Xian was the first to speak, arching his hand towards the city.

"Brother Xian, why is this so, you and I are originally from the same root, we might as well discuss it with our own family if there is something, why do we need to bring troops here. Brothers and flesh and blood are killing each other, isn't it a joke for outsiders." Ji Chen poked his head out slightly, and someone held a shield to protect him from the other party's sudden cold arrows.

"Jokes? That's the biggest joke I've heard today. Ji Chen, your father Ji Xin tried in vain to promote the restructuring and dominate the province forever in his vein, and now that everything is in chaos, he is the biggest joke." Ji Xian sneered and looked at Ji Chen at the head of the city.

"If it is said that the negotiation is also successful, as long as Ji Xin gives up the position of lord, I will dismiss the sword soldiers. If it weren't for the ghost tricks of villains like Ji Xin, my father would have already sat on the lord's seat, and he wouldn't have brought ruin to the Ji family as he did now."

"Brother Xian, this is a joke, my father took over as the lord, and it was jointly elected by the clan, how can it be said that it is a trick. Virtuous brother should not listen to rumors, and it is better to retire as soon as possible." Ji Chen smiled wryly and waved his hand at the city.

"What kind of election, there were many clan leaders who liked my father back then, and it was Ji Xin who relied on his ability to practice, bribed a lot, and assassinated many leaders, so he ascended to the position of lord." Ji Xian was furious, and raised his knife to point at the head of the city, "Ji Chen, it's useless to talk more. Today I will ask you whether you will open the city gates. If you surrender, I will let you live.

Now that my army is here, the northern and southern armies and the guards are all dragged elsewhere, Hanlu City is already a lonely city, and there are no soldiers to help, if you still have mercy on the lives of the people in the city, hurry out of the city and surrender, otherwise the war will be together, Li Shu will be ruined, and the blood will flow like a river, and you Ji Chen will be the sinner of the Ji family."

"Ji Xian, I am ordered by my father to guard this city, and I will not back down half a point. If you really have mercy on the lives of Li Shu in the city, you might as well stop the sword soldiers, and as long as you leave the province, you will not be held accountable for your sins." Ji Chen's expression became more serious, and his tone tended to be hard.

Ji Xian's eyes were gloomy, and he stared at the other party coldly, and the murderous intent in his eyes was undisguised, "Since you are obsessed, then don't blame me for not thinking about brotherhood. Don't worry, when the city is broken, I will hang your head on the head of the city, so that the world can see what will happen to those who vainly try to reform the system and act against the sky."

"In that case, let's fight." Ji Chen's long sleeves flicked, the gentleness of the past disappeared, and a momentum that had been in the top position for a long time spontaneously emerged.

"Hehe, tell you, I have 70,000 troops here, just with these shrimp soldiers and crab generals in the city, how can I stop the power of my army. Ji Chen, you idiot who has never fought before, don't be scared to pee your pants together." Ji Xian smiled disdainfully, this remark caused some of his subordinates to laugh, all of them sneered at the city, and some even stood up on the horse, turned around and patted their buttocks, signaling the other party to beat.

Ji Chen smiled slightly, completely not angry at the other party's rude behavior, and beckoned behind him, and soon a soldier escorted a person with a cloak and blood stains on his body to the city wall.

"Ji Xian, this is the 1,000 men and horses that your father brought at the beginning, and I have already taken them. Your father and son have made a good calculation, and in the name of helping to protect the city, they will put a thousand shadows in the city, and when you lead your army to this time, you will cause internal rebellion." Ji Chen looked down at the other party coldly, "They have already confessed, I don't know what else you have to say."

Ji Xian's face was gloomy, these thousand people were all trusted dead soldiers in their own family, and this time they entered the city to lurk, just to wait for the opportunity to pick him up, but he didn't expect to be arrested by others. "Ji Chen, you are ruthless, you have the ability to kill people."

"Oh, why not." Ji Chen smiled slightly and waved his hand gently.

On the city wall, the soldiers knocked down the captives. In an instant, the sword flashed, and the big heads rolled down the city wall, and blood shot into the air outside the city, making the wall more reddish-brown things.

This is happening on the walls to the south and west. The soldiers silently waved their knives, raised their heads, threw them down, and then threw their bodies down.

Before the war started, the other side killed people on such a large scale. Seeing this scene, those Ji Xian's subordinates who had just laughed loudly in the city also fell silent.

I didn't expect this man in the city to look kind and have a gentle demeanor to kill people like this.

"Ji Chen, remember, when I catch you, I will never let you die so happily, and I will make you an adult and throw you in the toilet every day." Ji Xian was so angry that he pointed to the city and scolded.

Ji Chen didn't pay attention to the other party, and when he saw that a thousand people had already cut off their heads, he turned around and returned to the building with his hands behind his back.

Glancing coldly in the direction of the city, Ji Xian turned his horse back to the army.

Siege is not an easy task, especially a fortified city like Cold Land City. So Ji Xian did not act rashly, but urged the army to start camping.

In the camp tent that Fang had completed, Ji Xian was full of ambition, and glanced at the generals sitting in two rows, "Everyone, our army has arrived in Hanlu City, and everyone has also watched, although Ji Chen is not good at battle formations, but this city is quite strong, and there are big rivers to defend it, and I can really show my hands and feet only on the southwest side, and it is not easy to capture it."

I hope that our army will not fight in vain, but cut off the communication inside and outside the cold land city, hurry up the preparation of siege equipment, and wait for the destruction of its city walls before attacking the city. In addition, there is another thing, that is, the Lu family and others in the east were blocked from moving in Luling, and according to the previous discussion, they asked Shang Zhenfu to go in person and exterminate the northern and southern armies together with the coalition troops. These coalition men can't fight wars, but they're good for making ordnance."

Xian Yuchan slapped his thigh, and arched his hand at Ji Xian and said, "Why does the young master need to be so troublesome, this time my Xian Yujia specially brought kites in order to attack the city. As long as there is someone to cover it, you can go directly to the city wall. Let's finish the fight as soon as possible, so that the sons and daughters can return home as soon as possible."

Before Ji Xian could speak, Shi Fa sneered beside him, "Xian Yu Zhenfu, your kite is only eight thousand, Ji Xin has been running Hanlu City for so many years, and there are not many strong crossbows and strong bows in the city, I am afraid that they will be shot down one by one before they reach the city."

I have a lot of 70,000 men, but against this big city, in fact, the army is not very abundant. Whether you can fight or not, the ants are attached to the siege and that is the last choice. Pull those coalition soldiers to horses, not to mention building ordnance, even if they can consume the arrows in the city."

Xian Yuchan glanced at Shifa with his own fish bubble eyes, and said in a strange manner: "My Xian Yu family is not like some people, greedy for life and afraid of death, and betraying the Lord for glory. Is there a war, how can there be no immortal? It's better for me to come to the main attack tomorrow, and ask Shi Zhenfu to take charge of cooking for my athletes in the camp."

Seeing that the two were about to quarrel, Ji Xian slapped the table heavily, "Okay, the enemy is now, what kind of infighting are we going to have. Since you have come here, you must face the enemy with one heart and one mind, regardless of your background. I have made up my mind, and the whole army has stepped up to set up a fortress in the past few days, and has sent some men and horses to the east and north of Hanlu City to monitor the movement in the city, and the main attack is still to the south and west.

In addition, please bring 15,000 men to capture Luling tomorrow to assist the Lu family and other coalition forces, and break the northern and southern armies as soon as possible."

Shang Zheng got up and responded, Xian Yuchan and Leng Zuo came from Shule Province, and he and Shifa were both from the Ji family guard, and they had been friends with Ji Wei for many years, so they had to maintain Ji Xian's authority.

Not to mention that Ji Xian is encamped here, in the city tower on the Yongning Gate, Ji Chen is with you

The generals discussed the defense of the city, and Murong Yanyu and Lu Zhu arrived here with the meals they had made themselves.

Seeing that everyone was discussing enthusiastically, Murong Yanyu didn't say much, smiled and signaled that everyone didn't have to get up, and went straight to the inner room.

After waiting for half an hour, Ji Chenfang walked in.

"You, when you're busy, you forget to sleep and eat, no matter what, you still have to eat first. You see, this meal has been reheated three times." Murong Yanyu complained in a low voice.

Ji Chen had been busy for a day, and when he saw that his wife was a little more relaxed, he couldn't help but smile bitterly: "The thieves have arrived, and the safety of the city is at stake, so I can only be careful and careful. Although I command the Southern Army on weekdays, I have never actually fought a battle, and I really don't know the bottom in my heart, so I have a detailed discussion with these generals."

Sitting at the table, Ji Chen grabbed the bowl and ate it, while Murong Yanyu stood behind him, gently massaging his shoulders while channeling the aura into his body to condition his body.

"Do you want to transfer some of Ji Ye and Wu Gan's men back, although I promised not to interfere with their use of troops, but there are too many thieves this time." Murong Yanyu said softly.

"Forget it, Cold Land City can still be defended, so don't let them run back and forth. If they withdraw, the Lu family and a few other families will join Ji Xian, and it will be even more difficult to fight." Ji Chen smiled slightly, put down the bowl and patted his wife's hand gently.

"You're just soft-eared. I understand the reasoning, but what I'm afraid of is that they deliberately delay in the east and put you in danger, and who wouldn't want to sit in this big position." Murong Yanyu pushed Ji Chen's hand away and said with a grumbling face.

"Hehe, the second brother has no intention of power, you also know this." Ji Chen picked up the bowl again, a little unimpressed.

"He wouldn't have such thoughts, but his subordinates, especially that Wu Gan, are ambitious, and he has a bunch of arrogant soldiers under him, so it is inevitable that there will be some small actions behind his back. Last time I was bent on wooing him, and although he said it beautifully, I knew that his heart was not with us at all." Murong Yanyu raised her hand to comb her hair and pursed her mouth.

"Alas, you, it's just that the power is heavier, I'm not in good health, and it's not impossible for the second brother to take over, besides, my father is coming back soon, just let him be an old man." Ji Chen took a piece of meat into his mouth, slurring his words.

"That's not good, what's yours is yours. I think it's better to transfer Ji Ye back and replenish the soldiers and horses." Murong Yanyu pushed Ji Chen, and the latter's body involuntarily moved forward, almost knocking the bowl in his hand down.

"Forget it, the 20,000 horses of the Murong family are also heading towards Cold Land City, and the troops here are not so bad."

"What? I don't know if someone is going to be sent from my house." Murong Yanyu looked surprised and sat down beside her husband.

Ji Chen gulped his meal and did not answer his wife's question.
