Chapter 748: Star Guardian Beast
"What?, the main force of the South Gate was trapped by the enemy's Heavenly Spirit powerhouse?" Zheng Jiu's eyes flickered quickly, and then asked; What about the damage?"
"The other party just used spiritual skills to create an ice crystal urn city, and trapped the soldiers and horses who attacked the south gate, and the letter that came out of it probably lost a hundred and ten people, as well as dozens of thunder stone beasts!"
"You go down first!" Zheng Jiugong breathed a sigh of relief.
"Being able to trap our nearly two thousand beast rider elites, and they can't get out of trouble in a short period of time, and even create a small urn city, this kind of method is no longer something that ordinary Heavenly Spirit Masters can achieve!" Xia Rong said on the side.
Zheng Jiugong also nodded, according to the information from Seta, there are only two major families in Wancheng that have Heavenly Spirit powerhouses, one is the Zhao family, and the other is the Cheng family, and from the intelligence point of view, the Heavenly Spirit that appeared in the south of the city is not any of these two families.
The Zhao family's Heavenly Spirit Master is an earth system, over 100 years old, and is a figure of the Zhao family's ancestors, while the Cheng family's Heavenly Spirit Master is a fire family, and he is also seventy or eighty years old, and he is the first worship of the Cheng family, and although the strength of these two people cannot be heard clearly, but if these two people do not have special opportunities, their strength is at most a middle-level heavenly spirit, not to mention that the spirit body is different, even if it is the same, it cannot use that kind of means.
Imperial Kyushu, Chuzhou is located in the south-central region, although it cannot be said that there are outstanding people and spirits, and there are still many strong people at the heavenly spirit level, but where the big city family, there is no strong man who can inherit more than a hundred years of power, it is obviously impossible, without one of the three titles, power, and power, it is difficult for a family to develop and grow.
And this time to the south, the Tang army has captured Dongchang, Guangling, most of Xiaoxiang, these three prefectures are in the north of Chuzhou, here is adjacent to the Tianhe, adjacent to Zhongzhou, Qingzhou, Yangzhou both population, economy is far better than the south, after all, like Leng Zhuo lived in Nanxing Mansion, two or three hundred years ago was still a wilderness, even now, the population of a province is less than the sum of one or two counties in the north.
The Tang army can go all the way In addition to the emperor's poor strength, the Tang army also has some high-end combat power, soldier to soldier, general to general, strong to strong, like Leng Zhuo can rely on a big move to create a prison city to trap the main force of the Tang army, and the three mansions of northern Chu can not have such a strong man.
A super-level combat power is equivalent to a legion that can reach 10,000 people, and a big move can easily kill hundreds or thousands of people, if there is no equivalent high-end combat power that can be restrained, the Tang Army can go south so smoothly.
In the Tang Army, the generals of Zhichong Mansion basically have the strength of the Heavenly Spirit Division, even if they are not Heavenly Spirit Divisions, they are also bloodline beast generals, and their strength is not weaker than that of the Heavenly Spirit Division, and below, the left and right hands of the Zhichong Mansion, and most of the Guoyi Lieutenants also have such combat power, and there are two or three Heavenly Spirit levels in the last Zhichong Mansion.
This is the same as the strength of the division commander of a division in the empire to have the strength of the heavenly spirit, the seventy-two folded Chongfu is already the case, the number of the nine heavenly spirits of the Tang army's nine guards is even more, and even the captains of each battalion have this kind of combat power, and in addition to these generals, there are also Taoist divisions in the Tang army, and the Taoist masters can use the formation to summon the strong combat power of the king beast, and carry out short-term soul control control.
When Leng Zhuo was in Xiangyang, he had a deal with the Taoist master of the Tang Army, and on those two occasions, he obtained two king beasts, the winged fire snake and Zhang Yuelu, and this time when he went south, the soldiers and horses of the Tang Army's two guards and four mansions all carried the star guardian beast, and the Benlei Zhichong Mansion naturally also had a military Taoist master.
There are only two Heavenly Spirit Master powerhouses in Wancheng, this is the information that Seta has spied on for more than two years, but it should not go wrong, because in the Imperial Heavenly Spirit Master is already the most high-end existence in the Empire, every appearance of the Heavenly Spirit Master will be recorded, and none of these Heavenly Spirit Masters have no nameless membership, even if they can be low-key, and for a family, if there is a family with a Heavenly Spirit Master, it will not be hidden, because there are two levels at all.
"Could it be that Ping'an Hou?" Zheng Jiugong groaned for a long time, and finally said a name, the two heavenly spirits that do not belong to Wancheng, there may be other heavenly spirits in Wancheng, but the heavenly spirit master generally rarely visits the door, in addition to cultivation, it is more to venture in some dangerous places, and if there is a heavenly spirit master who comes to Wancheng, it is impossible for Seta not to know.
~
"Ping'an Hou?" Xia Rong first shook his head, then nodded, and then felt impossible, shook his head again, and said; It shouldn't be possible, Ping'an Hou is only 22 years old, although in Xiangyang before, there are rumors that Ping'an Hou's strength has the level of heavenly spirits, but I still can't believe it! Even if it is the strongest bloodline owner of the Hu clan, there are few people who can reach this level at this age!"
Zheng Jiugong didn't want to believe it, but in the end, he said;" When I waited for the south, I met Her Royal Highness the Holy Princess and Her Royal Highness Princess Xiang, and at that time, Her Royal Highness the Holy Princess once said that we should be careful of this Ping'an Hou, the dispute between Chuzhou, this person will be a strong enemy, Her Royal Highness the Holy Princess has the ability to prophesy, and she should not talk about it casually!"
"Okay, we are not unprepared for this kind of accident, although the other party's strength is strong, but if we descend an urn city cage, we will also lose our spiritual power in a short period of time, as long as we send the star guardian beast to break through the opponent's ice city, we can drive straight in!" Xia Rong said.
Zheng Jiugong glanced at his left and right hands, this guy has always been cautious, but on the battlefield, he is extremely decisive, and he will never drag mud and water, Zheng Jiugong thought about it, it is the same, although the strength of the other party is strong, but if you want to kill two thousand elites at once, it is impossible, unless you use taboo means, but then even the city will be affected.
Therefore, taboo methods have always been forbidden, otherwise they will be abandoned by the whole world, which is probably the reason why the other party uses a move that is not destructive.
"Order, let the Five-Fingered Daoist go to the south of the city to help in the battle!" Zheng Jiugong did not hesitate at the moment, and ordered to the guards.
This night is destined to be a night of sleep.
Suzaku City, Fangcheng, and defending the city are already the fifth day, and the evening breeze blows slowly northward, making the flags on the city hunt and hunt, and the faint smell of blood fills the city, but Xu Da and Chang Yuchun are walking on the city head that is red with blood everywhere.
The soldiers lay on the city wall, some leaning against the battlements, holding their weapons, drowsy, some leaning against each other, or snoring, or whispering dreams, and some even lying directly on their backs in a pool of blood, although the sleeping phase was different, but each soldier held the weapon in his hand, although the weapon had long been cracked
Since three days ago, Chang Yuchun replaced the defensive position with someone and the entire north defense of the city, almost supported by Xu Da and Chang Yuchun's two battalions of soldiers and horses, and the command of the two was also recognized by the nearby soldiers, and for this, although the chief general in charge of the city guard had the intention to punish him, but after going to the city wall, he changed his mind.
The guard general is Chen Ping's henchman, who was just a personal guard captain, but he suddenly rose to the high position of a city commander, from protecting people to commanding 20,000 soldiers and horses to defend a city, here is not a difference between many people and few people, although he is unhappy, but this person is loyal to Chen Nan, and he was even ready to live and die with Fang Cheng before being sent.
Although these two people disobeyed his orders, it was obvious that these two people were better than him in defending the city, so although he was unhappy in his heart, he did not do the kind of thing of digging the city wall by himself, but gave Xu Da the position of commander of the northern city of Chang Yuchun.
"What is the idea of the Tang army for several days, although the siege is becoming more and more fierce, but rarely use large-scale siege equipment, but in the past two days, more auxiliaries have been sent into battle, is it because we are the training troops?"
Xu Da also shook his head and was a little puzzled by the movements of the Tang army in the past few days, it seems completely unnecessary to say that the Tang army is deliberately paralyzing the city, although Fangcheng is not completely surrounded now, but from the first day of the temptation to attack the city, the Tang army should know the reality in the city.
To tell the truth, even he is not very sure about holding Fangcheng, although there are 20,000 soldiers and horses in the city, and there are a large number of young and strong people available, the ordnance is sufficient, and there is no shortage of food, but in addition to these, there are many other influencing factors in the war, such as generals, one general is incompetent, tired of the three armies, the first day is just the Tang army to try to attack the city, all of them have suffered heavy losses, and even "exposed" the location of the catapult in the city, the general's ability is clear at a glance.
And the soldiers and horses under his command, which can be called elite veterans, are not high morale, not to mention those recruits who have been trained for two or three months, if the Tang army attacks the city with all its strength and uses a large number of equipment, Fangcheng can completely fight down.
However, the Tang army used very few weapons for five consecutive days, although it also sent some high-end combat power, but they were all repelled by the masters stationed in the city. The only thing that is still advantageous is the number of strong people at the level of heavenly spirits, there are no less than thirty or forty heavenly spirit masters who escaped from the three provinces in the north, and these heavenly spirit masters in the north are fighting separately, so they are naturally defeated by the Tang army, but the Vermilion Bird City is already the last fortress of the empire in Chuzhou, but there is no way to retreat, and the small square city, the heavenly spirit alone is stationed in three, if necessary, the nearby two cities can also send strong people to support.
"I don't know, but the other party really wants to train us, and we just want to hone our soldiers and horses, these days, the soldiers in the city have matured rapidly, starting tomorrow, add some young and strong people to the city, at this time, let the battlefield to select, although it is a little cruel, but it is the best way to strengthen ourselves!" Xu Da said.
Xu Da, who was trapped in Fangcheng, Chang Yuchun naturally did not know that the scouts led by Xue Rengui in Dayanling were able to burn the logistics baggage of the Tang army, resulting in the destruction of a large number of equipment, and the 3,000 soldiers and horses escorting the baggage were also killed and wounded, and only a few hundred people fled back to the Tang army camp.
In Dayan Ling, the news of a rock python infestation also spread to the Tang Army, this mountain road as the main channel of the Tang Army to connect Xiaoxiang Mansion, naturally there is no room for error, after getting the news, the Tang Army has successively dispatched four heavenly spirit-level generals to go straight to Dayan Mountain.
And because of the shortage of grain and grass in the army, the Tang army had to increase the collection of grain and grass, but these Fangcheng defenders did not know that in the face of the superior soldiers and horses of the Tang army, the scouts sent by Fangcheng would not be able to go out of the city for ten miles at all, and they would be killed, where would they know the situation in the Tang army.
Because Xue Rengui's uproar in Dayanling made the Tang army pay a lot of price, causing the offensive of the other city to be forced to retreat, and if you want to prepare the second batch of equipment, it will take at least half a month, and it will take more time for the craftsmen in the army to create enough equipment.
However, in the entire Suzaku Plain battlefield, the atmosphere of the great battle is getting stronger and stronger. (To be continued.)
