Chapter 367: Layout
The smoke rising from the fierce war fire, rolling and filling the entire Huanqing City, with the passage of time, the city tower is the dead corpse lying on the ground, the blood does not stop, but no one moves forward to clean up, the thick smell of blood and sweat are mixed with each other, filling the air, pungent and unpleasant, one by one the soldiers of the Lianzhou Alliance have come one after another, but they have never attacked the city tower.
Seeing that the Chu army in front easily repelled waves of alliance soldiers, in the rear military tent, the Wind and Blood Mansion Lord was already a little impatient, and looked at the people of the Northern Darkness Cangtuo:
"Do you want me to cooperate with the Cloud Poison Valley to ensure that the combat power of the soldiers of the vanguard army will increase tenfold!"
The people of Cloud Poison Valley nodded heavily, their eyes revealing infinite murderous intent, the elders of their own forces were suddenly shot and killed by Zhong Liyi!
Doesn't it mean that it can keep their elders safe?
But when the people of the other forces heard this, they frowned, the poisonous mist of the Cloud Poison Valley and the blood of the Wind Blood Building could indeed increase the combat power of the soldiers by ten times, but these soldiers could only live for half an hour, and if they did not die in battle after half an hour, they would also lose their vitality.
"No, this is one of our hole cards, the army of King Yu has not been moved, we don't need to fight with the army of King Chu!"
Beiming Cangtuo looked at the fierce battle at the city gate, and his eyes did not fluctuate.
Wu Yuxue looked at the soldiers who died tragically, with a trace of unbearability in her eyes, and said: "Alliance leader, let's retreat, we have attacked Huanqing City for two consecutive days, and the soldiers have suffered tens of thousands of casualties. ”
Lu Junyi, Li Zongyi and other elders of various forces also nodded one after another.
Beiming Cangtuo's eyes swept the motionless army of King Yu behind him, and finally nodded:
"Okay, then let's retire, let's talk to King Yu tonight."
"Retreat!"
With the signal coming from the military tent, the nine elders of the Cloud Poison Valley above instantly put away the green flag and fell, and the Heavenly Martial Realm powerhouses guarding them also fell one after another, and they were always on guard against the attack of the hidden arrows on the opposite side, especially Zhong Liyi's arrows.
As the green mist faded, the vanguard army that was charging also received orders to retreat, and one by one they showed the look of the rest of their lives and quickly retreated.
Soon, the figure of the enemy disappeared from everyone's sight, and the defenders of the city gate finally put down the weapons in their hands, and let out a long breath, they were covered in blood, I don't know if it was the enemy's or their teammates'.
"Everyone go back to rest, and the second group of defenders will go to the city to be vigilant."
As Meng Tian gave the order, the tired soldiers dragged their weapons down the tower, and another group of energetic soldiers went up to the city to continue the vigilance.
Under the city gate, the teams cleaning the battlefield are also ready to go, one by one to take anti-poison measures, and go out of the city to clean up the battlefield.
"Wenhe, what do you say King Yu wants to do next?"
On the city wall, Li Yuan looked at the direction of the withdrawal of the army in the distance, his eyes were deep, his robe hunting, and he let the yin wind full of bloody smell blow.
On the other side, Jia Xu's long beard was blown high by the wind, Jia Xu hurriedly stroked his beard and pressed it, facing Li Yuan's question, he already had a draft in his heart, and his face became solemn:
"For King Yu, when he arrives in Lianzhou, the first step is not to solve us first, but to solve the Lianzhou Alliance first!"
Jia Xu looked at the direction in which the Lianzhou Alliance disappeared, and said with a faint gaze: "In this troubled world, everyone is a potential enemy, and everyone is also a potential ally, the Lianzhou Alliance thinks that King Yu must solve us first like the imperial army, which is very ridiculous, I don't know if they have thought that even if King Yu solves us and gets Huanzhou and Lingzhou, King Yu himself will become a turtle in the urn!" ”
Li Yuanjing's light flashed and nodded slightly.
King Yu's base camp is in Yang and Liangzhou, even if King Yu defeats them and takes Huanzhou and Lingzhou, and Lianzhou is the obstacle that blocks King Yu's connection to Yang, Liang, Huan, and Lingzhou, plus Zhongzhou and the two states of Feng and Yi next to it belong to the imperial court, how could King Yu let Lianzhou cut off his back road.
Therefore, King Yu will definitely ambush or eliminate the Lianzhou Alliance before solving himself, ensuring that when he enters the two states of Huan and Ling, the back road of retreat will not be blocked.
"So we want to divide the strategy of the Lianzhou Alliance, and King Yu not only won't stop it, but also very much agrees with it." Li Yuan said softly, his eyes were very calm.
Jia Xu's eyes narrowed slightly, and he nodded: "That's right, King Yu wants to take advantage of the fisherman, if nothing else, Fengxue Building is the first target of King Yu." ”
"Because we want to use the Wind and Blood Building to create civil strife in the Lianzhou Alliance, King Yu believes that the Wind and Blood Tower will not be our people............"
Speaking of this, Li Yuan's eyelids suddenly opened, a terrible thought came to mind, and blurted out: "Gongming they are in danger!" ”
King Yu has always been extremely smart, and the strategists under his command are even more extraordinary, they deliberately let Lian Wuqian go back, they must be able to guess their own discord plan, their own discord plan is so simple, why not be afraid of the Lianzhou Alliance not being fooled, it is because there are their own people in the Lianzhou Alliance!
As an outsider, King Yu will naturally think of this, as long as he investigates the situation in Lianzhou, then Song Jiang and Song Gongming will be exposed soon.
Now King Yu has even begun to suspect Song Jiang, Yang Zhi, and Lu Zhishen!
Li Yuan's brows furrowed deeply, and he came to the city tower to cross back and forth, it seemed that he had to find a way to get Song Jiang and them back.
"Your Highness, don't worry, if King Yu already suspects Song Jiang and them, we can't act rashly, he is waiting for Song Jiang to show his feet." Compared with Li Yuan's faint worry, Jia Xu's tone was very calm, and his deep pupils did not fluctuate gradually.
Li Yuan listened to Jia Xu's words, and didn't seem to listen to them, and said with a contemplative expression: "Wenhe, if Song Jiang and they have been exposed, their stay in the Lianzhou Alliance will not only be useless, and King Yu is very likely to use Song Jiang to mislead us, we should take Song Jiang and them back." ”
Jia Xu's lowered eyes moved slightly, but he said, "Your Highness, even if we let Song Jiang come back, how should they come back?" ”
"When the next war comes, just let Song Jiang and them come back." Li Yuan said.
"But now King Yu has noticed Song Jiang, once Song Jiang has any intentions, they will definitely take Song Jiang as soon as possible, I'm afraid that before our people arrive, the lives of Song Jiang and the three of them are already in the hands of King Yu, and when the time comes, it will be a heavy blow to us to take the three of them to sacrifice the flag." Jia Xu raised his head and said, "It is not difficult for King Yu to infer the strength of Song Jiang with Venerable. ”
When Li Yuan heard this, his face gradually became serious.
And Jia Xu continued: "If Song Jiang is directly exposed, there will definitely be panic within the Lianzhou Alliance, and they will definitely check themselves, then our shadows in other forces are also at risk of being exposed, and King Yu is better to start." ”
Li Yuan's face sank, "You mean Ice and Snow Pavilion ............ them?"
"Your Highness, don't worry, Song Jiang is not dangerous now, as long as King Yu has no conclusive evidence, King Yu will not be able to move Song Jiang, after all, for the Lianzhou Alliance, Song Jiang is his own person, and King Yu is an outsider, how can they easily meet King Yu." Jia Xu looked at Li Yuan's nervous appearance, and smiled: "Especially now that King Yu is using the Lianzhou Alliance as cannon fodder, the forces of the Lianzhou Alliance must have a grudge against King Yu, if King Yu dares to expose Song Jiang, as long as Song Jiang insists that King Yu wants to use this to divide the Lianzhou Alliance, King Yu will have no choice, and it will even cause the vigilance of the Lianzhou Alliance, and Song Jiang will be locked up at most." ”
Hearing this, Li Yuan nodded one after another and asked:
"So what do we do now?"
"The enemy doesn't move, I don't move, we need time, and they just lack time." Jia Xu smiled confidently.
"Okay, then let's focus on defense."
Li Yuan waved his sleeves and slowly walked down the tower.
Seeing this, Jia Xu smiled lightly and followed closely behind Li Yuan.
Throughout the gates of Huanqing City, everyone was busy, and they didn't see a flash of green light suddenly flashing in the sky.
As night fell, King Yu, Wei Wen, Tang Cangtuo and other generals and the Lianzhou Alliance gathered in the lobby again.
"His Royal Highness King Yu, we attacked Huanqing City for two days in a row, and we have not been able to attack the city tower, but we have suffered heavy losses, we really have no choice, when will you make a move?" The owner of the Wind and Blood Mansion said very directly.
As soon as the Wind and Blood Mansion Lord spoke, the elders of the other forces also discussed behind him:
"Yes, the King of Chu is so tightly defended, even if we continue to attack, even if the entire Lianzhou Alliance enters it, we may not be able to break through Huanqing City."
"Who said it wasn't, the King of Chu is so powerful, we are not opponents in the first place, let alone want us to attack the city?"
"I have heard that there are a group of elite soldiers under the command of King Yu, if you make a move, you will definitely be able to break through Huanqing City."
"That's right, if His Royal Highness King Yu makes a move, the attack on Huanqing City is just around the corner."
"That's right, we'd love to see them......"
"I'm ............ to Du"
King Yu above quietly listened to the "whispered discussions" of the elders below, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
And the people who were paying attention to King Yu, Beiming Cangtuo, Wu Yuxue, Yungu Lord and others, their eyes moved, could it be that King Yu was ready to do it?
And Wei Wen, Tang Cangtuo and other generals watched quietly.
"Ahem!"
I saw King Yu cough lightly, and everyone in the lobby who was originally "whispering" stopped very neatly, and their eyes looked at King Yu above.
King Yu looked at the quiet lobby and said with a smile:
"Lone knows that you are in a hurry, but Lone still wants to say that you are not in a hurry."
Hearing King Yu's words, the eyes of the elders who were originally looking forward to it dimmed, how could they feel that they had heard a nonsense.
"His Royal Highness King Yu, how can we break through Huanqing City, Huanqing City can't be broken, how can we defeat King Chu?" Wu Yuxue also spoke.
Suddenly, all the elders below said:
"yes."
"What should I do?"
Seeing that the Lianzhou Alliance openly and secretly wanted him to send troops, the smile on his face remained unchanged, and he continued:
"Ladies and gentlemen, we are not the only ones who want to defeat the King of Chu, have you forgotten that there is also the Fengzhou battlefield and the imperial army?"
As soon as King Yu's words came out, the voices of the elders disappeared, and they all looked stunned.
The eyes of the Northern Darkness Cangtuo and the Cloud Valley Lord moved, as if they had indeed forgotten.
Wei Wen saw the expressions of the people opposite, waved his feather fan lightly, and said with a smile:
"Lord of the Northern Underworld Alliance, Venerables, we are separated from the imperial court soldiers, after the imperial army arrived in Fengzhou, but there has been no mobilization, and we have been attacking Huanqing City for three consecutive days, so shouldn't the imperial army also make a move."
The high-level leaders of the Lianzhou Alliance glanced at each other, and they all nodded, which made sense.
They have already done it here, and the court can't say anything if they don't do it.
Wei Wen's smile deepened when he saw this, and continued:
"The two armies attacked the king of Chu together, the king of Chu is more anxious than us, we can't capture Huanqing City here now, but the imperial army may not be able to capture Fengding City.
We attacked for three days in a row, the soldiers were physically and mentally exhausted, it was better to delay for two days, waiting for the imperial army to attack Fengding City, if the imperial army broke through Fengding City, the king of Chu must be very anxious, and sent troops to Fengzhou to support.
If the king of Chu sends the troops of Huan and Lingzhou to Fengzhou, will our pressure be reduced a lot. ”
The eyes of the high-level leaders of the Lianzhou Alliance lit up.
Well said, makes sense!
"However, what if the imperial army can't capture Fengding City?" Zhang Yumei of the Ice and Snow Pavilion said.
"Yes, the general of Fengding Town is that Lu Bu, a super fierce general who killed five people alone, even if it is a court army, it is impossible to take him down in a short time." The lord of a small force in the Lianzhou Alliance said softly.
The people next to him also nodded one after another.
"Don't worry, everyone." Wei Wen maintained a calm smile and said: "Even if the imperial army can't take Fengding City, we can attack at the same time as the imperial army, Fengding City and Huanqing City are fiercely attacked at the same time, no matter how strong the King of Chu is, he will not be able to do anything, there will always be a city that will be broken by us, as long as there is a way to break through, it will be much easier to break through another city." ”
Reasonable!
Wei Wen's words made everyone quiet, and even the Wind and Blood Mansion Master was silent.
"The Lord of the Northern Netherworld, the Lord of the Forces, what do you think?" King Yu asked.
Beiying Cangtuo glanced at each other with the Lord of Cloud Valley and the Lord of the Wind and Blood Building, and finally nodded:
"Okay, then we'll wait for the battle situation in Fengzhou."
After hearing the Lianzhou Alliance's promise, King Yu and Wei Wen glanced at each other, and a smile appeared in their eyes.
King Yu casually glanced at Song Jiang and Yang Zhi in the corner, looked at the Cloud Valley Lord, and said:
"Lord of Cloud Valley, today's battle almost captured Huanqing City, and the green mist of your Cloud Poison Valley is indispensable!"
When the Cloud Valley Lord heard King Yu's praise, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing a smug look: "This is one of my Cloud Poison Valley secret techniques, today is just a trial battle!" ”
"Oh, in this way, all the forces in Lianzhou have unique skills!"
With a kind smile, King Yu looked at the Wind Blood Mansion Master and Wu Yuxue and the others.
And Wei Wen also looked at the high-level leaders of the Lianzhou Alliance.
As the two sides reached an agreement, the heavy atmosphere in the lobby was swept away, and friendly exchanges began, and the atmosphere in the lobby began to be lively, but most of them were still exchanges in small circles.
In a certain corner, Yang Zhi and Lu Zhishen were talking about which wine was the most fragrant, Zheng Bolun stood up straight, and listened to Li Zongyi talking with Venerable Luo of Fengxue Building with a serious face.
Although Song Jiang on the side sat next to Li Zongyi and kept smiling, he always felt that something was wrong, and he was very keen on his eyes, and suddenly found that the eyes of King Yu, Wei Wen, and Tang Cangtuo swept over him today. (End of chapter)
