At night, dark clouds were over the sky, torches below lit up the entire Blade Fortress, and the air was filled with a sickening, strong smell of blood.

Cangyi Fortress is located in the passage from Linhuan County to Qingyun County in Yizhou, surrounded by mountains on both sides, and the only road leads to Qingyun County before it can reach Yizhou Zhongfu, which has always been a battleground for soldiers.

The defender is Ji Wushuang, one of the top ten generals of the Dayu Dynasty, who has been blocking the Huanzhou Alliance in Cangyi Fortress for more than two months.

The sound of the Winged Fortress is shocking!

Another round of attack!

Whoa, whoa, whoa!

Tens of thousands of arrows formed a dark cloud, and the cold light illuminated the iron clothes, and they rushed towards the Cangyi Fortress.

The soldiers of the Winged Fortress had already raised their shields to block the dense arrows, but some were always knocked down by arrows that pierced through the gaps.

And the archers behind the high shield also shot at the soldiers who rushed below.

After a few rounds of arrows, the vanguard army once again rushed to the fortress wall!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The ladder and the siege ladder hit the edge of the city high, shaking many of the soldiers above to retreat.

Kill!

The vanguard army climbed the ladder with red eyes and rushed to the fortress frantically.

And the soldiers of the fortress slashed at the rushing enemy with their fierce faces and brandished steel swords, and the sound of the city wall was chaotic, roaring, roaring, and handing over weapons.

The military generals of the Grandmaster also rushed to the fortress with the help of the city wall, opening the way for the soldiers who rushed up, and the garrison generals of the fortress also immediately reacted to fight with them, and the generals of the fortress directly dragged the strong man of the Grandmaster Realm on the cloud ladder mouth, but the spread of the grandmaster-level battle separated the soldiers on both sides, and the soldiers below were difficult to rush up, so they could only block the cloud ladder mouth.

Black smoke billowed around, and today's war lasted for a day!

Bodies with screams kept falling from the edge of the city, and one after another miserable scenes were stuffed with densely packed corpses.

The rear of both sides was also shooting arrows frantically, arrows flying wildly in the air, dragging a long rain of arrows like locusts crossing the clear sky, and the soldiers fell to the ground with arrows, and the soldiers just climbed the city wall, and were immediately met by several defenders who swarmed with blades, and were outnumbered.

In the battle of more than a dozen Heavenly Martial Realm powerhouses in the sky above, the sword light was ghosted, and the sword marks were all over the sky, full of endless evil energy.

Rumble! Rumble!

The air is shaken, and the clouds are shaken away!

All kinds of terrifying moves explode in the air!

Deafening!

In the alliance base camp in the distance below, the alliance leader Zhou Chi, the deputy alliance leader Song Kong and other forces were staring at the battle ahead.

In front of them, the nine Heavenly Martial Realm powerhouses led by Cheng Yanjin were waiting for the battle, staring at the battle in the sky, and when the Tianwu Realm powerhouses who were fighting in the sky were tired, it was their turn!

Behind them, there were also nine Heavenly Martial Realm powerhouses whose breath had collapsed, sitting cross-legged and quickly recovering their true yuan.

On the fortress, Ji Wushuang's dignified face also had a trace of exhaustion, and there were six Heavenly Martial Realm martial artists next to him, panting one by one, each with scars on their bodies.

Under the fierce attack of the Huanzhou Alliance, the entire Cangyi Fortress lost more than half of its troops, four Tianwu Realm generals died, and the five Venerables guarding the Cangyi Fortress were all injured to varying degrees.

Therefore, the attack of the Huanzhou Alliance became more and more fierce, and they knew that once the Cangyi Fortress was broken, the entire land of Yizhou would be at their fingertips.

As time passed, the battlefield of Cangyi Fortress became more and more intense, Ji Wushuang's face became more and more solemn, and the five Venerables were already standing behind him, ready to attack at any time.

And Zhou Chi and the others also frowned, looking at the tired pace of the already Fang army, considering whether to continue the attack!

"Alliance leader, it's not good!"

Suddenly, there was a shout, and a messenger rushed into the base camp quickly.

"What's the matter?" When everyone saw the messenger's extremely anxious appearance, they suddenly had a bad premonition.

"This morning, Emperor Yao named the King of Chu as the governor of Huanzhou!"

"What!"

Everyone was shocked, and then they were furious!

"King Chu, how dare he?"

The faces of many lords of small and medium-sized forces have changed drastically

For a while, the tent was noisy, and all kinds of angry scolding.

"Alliance leader, let's collect the troops first." Wang Cheng frowned, looking at the army that was still attacking in front of him, revealing a trace of pity.

"Collect the troops!"

Zhou Chi had no extra considerations, and immediately Jin Ming withdrew his troops.

Soon, the Huanzhou alliance receded like a tide.

"Whew!"

On the Cangyi Fortress, Deng Tianxiong gasped, looking at the retreating enemy troops, his eyes showed a touch of happiness.

The soldiers around them were also physically and mentally exhausted, and if they came a few more times, they would probably not be able to hold on. ……………………

The next morning, people like Xu Fengwu, Zhou Quan and other young people who were guarding at important checkpoints were also summoned back.

When Xu Fengwu stepped into the base camp with Guan Sheng, the atmosphere was solemn, and the lords of the various forces were still arguing, and the next step was to return to Huanzhou to defend or continue to attack Yizhou.

Zhou Quan, Zhou Qing, Xu Shenglong, Song Lan and others also arrived within an hour.

"Alliance leader, I think we need to speed up the attack on Yizhou, everyone knows the situation of Cangyi Fortress, we have worked hard for so long, we can defeat it now, if we retreat, it will not be in vain." There was grief and indignation in the eyes of a family master, their family had already died two grandmasters, and if nothing was found, they would die in vain.

The leaders of the forces who had the same thoughts as him tried to persuade him.

"Yes, alliance leader, even if the King of Chu is named the governor of Huanzhou, they can't have such a quick time to send troops, we will go all out to take the Cangyi Fortress, and occupy the Cangyi Fortress when the time comes, even if we are not attacking Yizhou, it is also a situation where we can attack and retreat!"

"No, we do know the situation of Cangyi Fortress, but Ji Wushuang is not a simple character, if we are desperate, even if we take Cangyi Fortress, our alliance will suffer heavy losses, once the King of Chu sends troops in the rear, we can't take care of each other."

For the Cangyi Fortress, the previous idea of the Huanzhou Alliance was to consume it little by little, to avoid its own heavy losses, and it seemed that it could be taken after a few more abrasions, if it had to be rushed to attack, in the case of the Cangyi Fortress desperately fighting, no one dared to guarantee how much the alliance would lose.

"The King of Chu is already the governor of Huanzhou, and it is inevitable to enter Huanzhou, what if King Ming sees that we take the Cangyi Fortress and join forces with the King of Chu? When the time comes, we will be dragged in Yizhou, and Huanzhou will be attacked by the king of Chu, who would dare to bet?"

"No, this is our chance to take Yizhou............

Xu Fengwu and the others quietly watched the people of various forces arguing, and everyone looked solemn.

Only Cheng Yanjin, who was sitting on the side, winked at Guan Sheng, who came back.

Guan body does not squint, eyes slightly squinted.

War is the easiest place to be famous, and the status of the two of them is already comparable to that of the veterans of the Alliance, and their status is getting higher and higher.

Xu Fengwu is even more because of the existence of the two of them, and their status has risen, not to mention in the Black Jiao Gang, even if they speak louder in the alliance.

In addition to Xu Fengwu, talents like Wang Yu of the Wang family and Song Lan of the Song family also showed their demeanor one by one and were assigned important tasks.

And the most eye-catching thing of the Zhou family is Zhou Quan, Zhou Qing and Zhou Quan have been fighting openly and secretly, all ending with Zhou Quan's victory, and in some small-scale battles in the rear, they have made outstanding achievements.

"Alright, don't argue, you all go down first."

Zhou Chi saw the many leaders below arguing, showed impatience, and asked these people to leave the tent.

After the sighing leaders left, only the important personnel of the four top forces were left in the big tent.

Zhou Chiyin's eyes scanned everyone, and he said slowly:

"Just now, a group of people were noisy, when will they quarrel, facing the King of Chu, our four major forces will bear the brunt and suffer the greatest losses, what solution do you have."

The people of the four major forces looked at each other, and the people present were the forces that did not want the King of Chu to enter Huanzhou, so they naturally had to work together.

To put it bluntly, the decision negotiated by their four major forces is the decision of the Huanzhou Alliance.

A man dressed as a literati below is named Wang Yan, a famous wise man of the Wang family, and I saw his eyes revealed

Jingguang, stood up and arched his hand:

"Alliance leader, family master, it seems to me that we can prepare with both hands.

Maybe it's time to take the Winged Fortress!"

When everyone heard this, their eyes were raised, and they all looked at Wang Yan.

Wang Yan saw everyone looking over, and smiled slightly: "Now Cangyi Fortress must also know about the king of Chu being named the governor of Huanzhou, and they are also predicting whether we will retreat or defend!"

Now that it is impossible to storm Cangyi Fortress, it is better for us to pretend to withdraw from Yizhou and withdraw all the troops of the three counties we have taken.

Let the Cangyi Fortress mistakenly think that we are returning to Huanzhou to prepare for confrontation with the King of Chu, and lure them to send troops to recover the land of one province and three counties, while our main army secretly detours."

Speaking of this, Wang Yan stretched out a hand and shook it fiercely, revealing a cold smile:

"Then surprise the Bladed Fortress with empty troops!"

Everyone's eyes lit up, they understood what Wang Yan meant, the reason why Ji Wushuang was able to block them for so long was because of the favorable terrain of Cangyi Fortress, if the Cangyi Fortress soldiers would be sent and the Venerable would be separated, they would definitely be able to take it in one battle, as long as they took Cangyi Fortress and attacked the army on both sides with the other army, the army sent by Cangyi Fortress would become a turtle in an urn!

But there are also those who frown and look worried.

"What if the Winged Fortress doesn't send troops?"

"Ji Wushuang is a steady person, he already knows our current situation, he can endure time, we can't bear it, we don't know when the King of Chu will attack Huanzhou."

Facing everyone's questions, Wang Yan smiled slightly:

"If the Cangyi Fortress does not send troops, we will directly withdraw from Yizhou, turn around and attack Lingzhou directly, and catch the Chu Wangfu by surprise."

In the Zhou family, Zhou Qing heard that he was going to give up the land of one government and three counties that he had worked so hard to build, and said unhappily:

"Then Yizhou doesn't care, we have worked so hard for so long to return all the three counties of Yizhou?"

As soon as Zhou Qing's words came out, many Zhou family members also spoke:

"If we take the initiative to send a large army to attack Lingzhou, how will Yizhou defend it?"

"If we withdraw from Yizhou, we are not going to defend Ji Wushuang's attack on the border of Huanzhou, it is better to send a part of the army to guard the three counties of Yizhou, even if we fight and retreat, we can delay Ji Wushuang for a long time, and we still have enough time to deal with the King of Chu."

Many generals nodded approvingly, saying that they would give up after fighting for so long, and they would give up if they had been fighting, and they would return the territory they had laid down, how could there be such a reason.

Wang Yan did not show an angry expression when discussing with everyone, but looked at Zhou Chi, Xu Mad and others above.

This depends on the courage of the heads of the family, giving up the three counties of Yizhou, but you can get the fifty-four counties of nine prefectures in Lingzhou!

Wang Cheng, the head of the Wang family, looked at Wang Yan with satisfaction, and turned his gaze to Zhou Chi and the three to see their opinions.

And Zhou Chi, Xu Mad, and Song sat on their seats, their faces expressionless, their eyes rolling from time to time, obviously thinking about the feasibility.

Those who wanted to keep the three counties of Yizhou couldn't help but show their anxiety when they saw their respective heads behaving like this.

At this time, Xu Fengwu, who was dressed in fiery red armor and swaying like fire, stood up, her fiery lips rose slightly, looked at Wang Yan and said:

"Mr. Wang's real idea should be to withdraw from Yizhou directly, throw all his troops into Lingzhou, and take Lingzhou with the momentum of thunder!"

Wang Yan smiled at this, "Now many people think that our Huanzhou Alliance can only have two choices, one is to continue to attack Yizhou, divide troops back to defend Huanzhou, and prevent the King of Chu from entering Huanzhou. The second is to stop attacking Yizhou, wait and see what the attitude of the king of Chu is, and then slowly figure it out.

But we can have a third option, destroy the king of Chu, and won't our current problem be solved."

Hearing the conversation between Wang Yan and Xu Fengwu, everyone suddenly realized, and the opposition was small for a while.

The situation of Xu Shenglong of the Black Jiao Gang is the same as Zhou Qing, because Xu Fengwu has two fierce generals, Cheng Biting Jin and Guan Sheng, which causes the people of the Black Jiao Gang to be more and more inclined to Xu Fengwu, and he is more and more jealous of Xu Fengwu in his heart

It's the opening to say:

"We send all our troops to attack Lingzhou, what if Ji Wushuang counterattacks our Huanzhou?"

Xu Fengwu's beautiful eyes were bright, and he smiled lightly, "Ji Wushuang won't attack our Huanzhou."

"Why?" Zhou Qing had very poor patience and couldn't help but ask the questions that many people wanted to ask.

Song Lan, the eldest son of the Song family, was slightly fat, his face was a little fat but his skin was very white, and his eyes turned slightly, and he understood what Xu Fengwu meant, and he explained with a smile:

"Now that the King of Chu has been named the governor of Huanzhou, it is not only us who is angry, but also the King of Ming.

King Ming is very ambitious, he wants to take our Huanzhou for himself, and now he has been robbed by the King of Chu, how can he not be angry, for him, he wants us to defeat the King of Chu!"

I see, everyone's eyes are getting brighter and brighter, the big stone in their hearts is finally put down, the depressed mood is swept away, and the thinking becomes clear.

A disadvantage is not necessarily a disadvantage, and it can even be turned into an advantage!

Wouldn't it be good to solve the king of Chu and take Lingzhou quickly, anyway, the king of Ming is still attacking Fengzhou, so let the brothers of Fengzhou hold on for a while.

Zhou Chi and Xu Mad glanced at each other and nodded.

"Okay, then we'll follow Wang Yan's plan, do you have any objections?"

Zhou Chi's gaze swept towards everyone, and Zhou Qing, Xu Shenglong and other people who had opposed it before bowed their heads one by one to express their agreement.

"Alliance leader, I want a bold suggestion!"

When everyone heard the sound, they saw Jiang Gan, who was beside Zhou Quan, slowly standing up.

"Oh? Jiang Gan, do you have any suggestions?" Zhou Chi looked at Jiang Gan and asked, looking at Jiang Gan with a little appreciation in his eyes, he naturally knew about this good talent under Zhou Quan.

Everyone looked at Jiang Gan and showed a hint of curiosity, during this time, Zhou Quan made a lot of contributions from Jiang Gan, and he was a capable person.
