Chapter 9 The Siege of the Central Plains City
When Cui Ning was talking secretly with the Lord of the Golden Sword Village, the six cities of the Western Regions were leading to the last Xiongguan of the Imperial City, the Central Plains Pass, and tonight they were about to usher in a fierce beast from the Western Regions that had been preparing for decades.
Longli Town, a small town built on the basis of Ice and Snow City.
This is the general headquarters of King Cui to launch the siege of Zhongyuan Pass, and now it is Cui Xiong, the king of Zhenxi, and Zhang Yu, the strategist, who are sitting here, but at this moment Cui Xiong and Zhang Yu are playing Go.
"Lord Wang, it's already dark, and the masters led by General Mo Xun are about to launch the first wave of attacks." Zhang Yu, dressed as a Confucian student, looked at the night and said to Cui Xiong with a smile, the fan in his hand still swaying gently.
Cui Xiong gently took a white chess piece and put it on the chessboard, and said indifferently: "This first wave of attacks is just an appetizer, and this king has prepared a total of four waves of such an appetizer." β
Zhang Yu showed a smile on his face, although Cui Xiong's face was very flat, but he still dared to expect that the prince was definitely not calm at the moment, because the prince had made a mistake in that move just now.
Judging from the experience of Zhang Yu and Cui Wang often playing chess, this kind of mistake would never be made by the prince under normal circumstances.
Calm?
How can Choi Woong be calm?
The eldest son and a family member were executed on the street in the imperial city, and the Cui family had been preparing for decades, and the interest on Wei's head was collected tonight.
Surround the Central Plains City and then take the Central Plains City, and you will knock on the gate to the Wei Imperial City. The great feud and ambition are about to be realized, and at this moment, even if Cui Xiong is reincarnated as an immortal, it is impossible for him to calm down.
Since King Cui's Zhenxi Army quickly assembled two years ago and played the title of "Overthrowing Emperor Wei", four of the six big cities in the Western Regions actively responded to King Cui's call and changed their flags, and then the city guards of the four cities cooperated with the 200,000 Zhenxi Army and began to attack the remaining two cities in the Western Regions that were still loyal to the Wei royal family.
In two years, the Cui clan conquered the city and conquered the last two cities in the Western Regions. At this point, the entire Western Regions fell into the hands of the King of Zhenxi.
As for the royal Wei family, at the beginning, they also announced that Cui Xiong was deceived by his subordinates, and as long as he surrendered and confessed, he would not be blamed for the past.
But under the successive attacks of the Cui family, the Wei clan of the royal family couldn't sit still, and even more angrily executed Cui Xiong's eldest son and a group of relatives on the street, and at the same time declared the Cui family a traitor to the dynasty and demanded that the whole world be punished.
After Cui Xiong completely stabilized the operation of the Western Regions, he set his sights on the only pass leading to the imperial city in the Western Regions, "Central Plains Pass".
In fact, Zhongyuan Pass is not the name of one city pass, but the collective name of four city passes, and each city pass has several acropolis.
In order to prevent these self-respecting princes from coveting the position of the lord of the dynasty one day, they built a Central Plains city on the road leading to the imperial city of the Central Plains in the four regions.
In addition, most of the city lords of the various regions were also cronies of the Wei family, and the imperial dynasty firmly controlled the entire Great Lie Dynasty.
As the saying goes, there are only three generations of wealth, and the later generations of emperors of the Dalie Dynasty are also becoming more and more dim, relying on the remnants of their ancestors to survive.
Suppressing dissidents and harming virtuous people, King Cui's parents were imprisoned and killed in these turmoil, and the dynasty's dominance over the entire territory was not as good as before.
γγγγγγ
The sky gradually darkened, and the current guards of the Sealand Acropolis were still quite tight, after all, the generals defending the city also knew that the Cui clan might be attacking in the next few days, and the city gate had already been closed, prohibiting people from entering and leaving.
The Sealand Acropolis was only an acropolis, and although it was heavily defended, it only had more than 10,000 people, and in the eyes of the Wei generals, it only played a warning role. After all, the beheading operation launched by King Cui made the Wei generals still palpitate to this day.
"The city gates are closed, let's go out of the city until tomorrow!"
When the guards at the gate of Sealand City saw a few people approaching, they immediately shouted.
"Master Jun, the villain's child is seriously ill, and the doctor in the city said that he must rush to the main city overnight to be treated. Can you trouble the military master to be accommodating, okay. β
A man and a young man dressed as a scholar walked up to the city gate guard and begged, and at the same time took out a money bag, which, when opened, turned out to be several large gold bars.
In the darkness of the night, the glow of several large gold bars emitted by the lamps made these guards stunned for a moment.
Suddenlyβ
A swift figure with a blood-colored long knife was quickly rushing out of a small forest outside Sealand City, and the guards on the city wall of Sealand City never thought that there would be so many people hidden in that forest, after all, that grove didn't look big at all.
The soldiers in armor were extremely fast, and the aura exuded from their bodies showed that these soldiers were all masters of the day after tomorrow, seeing the speed of these soldiers, the soldiers on the city tower turned pale, but they didn't expect the attack to be tonight.
"There is an enemy attack, the enemy attacks !!"
Immediately a shout rang out from the city walls.
"Get out of here!" The head of the guard at the gate of the city also heard the shouting, and although he was panicked, he still grabbed the gold bar, and then pushed the scholar, obviously to take advantage of the chaos to take advantage of the windfall.
The scholar was motionless, and then a bright light lit up, and I saw the head of the guard fall directly around his neck.
The Great Han and the scholar did not stop to look at their achievements, and turned to attack the other guards. In an instant, the guards at the gates were killed.
This big man and scholar were already placed in this Sealand City before King Cui raised his army, and they were all congenital masters, and it was not too easy to kill dozens of ordinary soldiers by means of sneak attacks.
The gates were wide open.
"Close the gates, close the gates!"
The panicked generals on the city walls immediately roared, but there was no one at the gates to answer them.
"Rush"
With the city gate wide open, the Western Army of 3,000 Towns and several innate masters attacked this Sealand Acropolis with a thunderous force.
"Whew!"
As the city lord's mansion, the guard barracks, the armory, the granary and other important buildings were taken, the general Mo Xun led by the Cui clan gave an order, and an arrow immediately rose into the sky, which was a signal of the success of the pre-agreed city.
The same situation was also played out in the other three acropolis, and Mo Xun and several other generals successfully broke through the city gate according to the strategy of King Cui and his advisers, using the innate dark masters in the acropolis to cooperate with the hidden thousands of army masters.
In this way, the four acropolises of the Central Plains City were uprooted by King Cui's army, and King Cui's army had formed a siege of the Central Plains City.
One night, just one night.
The four acropolises were lost, and the defenders of the Wei royal family lost more than 40,000 people at once. The important thing is that the Central Plains City seems to have become a turtle in an urn.
After taking the four acropolis, Cui Xiong followed the advice of the strategist Zhang Yu and did not rush to attack, but successively dispatched troops in each acropolis, waiting for the army and masters to arrive, it was the day of the big battle.
ββββββ
"Smack!"
A palm slapped directly on the table, and in an instant the table collapsed.
"It's just too deceitful, why did the old emperor of Weizu let us stay in the Central Plains City, and if you want me to say that it is better to go back to the Northern Plains to be free."
In the city lord's mansion in Central Plains City, a bald man said angrily. This person's name is Zhao Kang, and he is a master of the late congenital stage, and he is one of the masters under Wang Weiyuan of Zhenbei. At this time, it was like an angry lion, his blood-red eyes widened.
It turned out that he had just received an express mail from the Imperial City today, asking Wei Yuan, the current supreme leader of the Central Plains City, to defend the Central Plains City for ten days, and after the imperial family had mobilized the army, he could come to relieve the crisis of the siege.
"Xiao Zhao, you, you are still so easy to get angry."
Wei Yuan sat on the main seat with a golden sword, took a sip of tea, and then said unhurriedly.
"Although the Cui clan army claims to have 600,000 troops, the six cities in the Western Regions need to be guarded, and the Western Desert side must also arrange troops to prevent foreign enemies from entering. At the moment, we can mobilize up to 300,000 troops to attack us. β
Wei Yuan touched the scar on his hand, "We still have an army of 150,000 in the Central Plains City, and we have consumed more energy than them, but that mysterious great master is the most feared." β
Wei Yuan's concerns are very reasonable, although he is also a great grandmaster, but when Beiyuan was about to set off, he was attacked by a mysterious female grandmaster, and the two sides fought for many days, and finally was injured by the thunderbird.
"Brute, if you dare to come, I have to roast you."
Wei Yuan turned to his subordinates and said
"You just defend the city, and call for help as soon as you meet a master. Let's keep him for ten days. β
"Yes!"
