"Young marshal, will Ximen Zhanhu just talk and scare us?" Hou San saw that the sun was already three poles of sunrise, and there was still no movement outside the city, so he couldn't help but say half-jokingly and half-seriously.

Since Ximen Zhanhu said yesterday that he was going to fight today, this city tower has been full of officers and soldiers who have been waiting for him since dawn. Ximen Zhanhu is a real veteran general of the Mandala Empire, and no one dares to be careless.

Hu Wei also rushed to the city before dawn, the dew this morning was relatively heavy, before his sideburns were all wet, stained on his face, very uncomfortable, until the sun came out to feel better.

"Do I think he's going to scare us into playing?" Hu Wei glanced at Hou San lightly. This is not a joke, war is no joke.

"But why hasn't he shown up yet?" Hou San saw that there was no smile on Hu Wei's face, and put away his joke. has been with Hu Wei for so many years, and he can still figure out Hu Wei's thoughts to some extent.

Hu Wei was also a little strange, why Ximen Zhanhu didn't come yet. You must know that according to the habits of the ghost army, they all start fighting before dawn, and at this time in the past, they have already finished fighting and retreated to collect their troops.

"It's coming. Just as Hu Wei was thinking, Zhu Daneng snorted lowly.

In fact, even if Zhu Daneng was silent, Hu Wei had already seen the movement in the distance.

This time the ghost army is not the same way as before, in the past, they didn't pay attention to any formation, they always came in the dark, and then attacked wildly. And today, they lined up in a phalanx and came with a clear banner.

Walking at the forefront of the whole army is the white tiger banner of the Ximen War Tiger. The huge white tiger flag was held up by bamboo poles to a height of five or six meters, and it was waving in the wind as the troops advanced, and it looked domineering from a distance.

The city fell silent, and the soldiers' faces were full of nervousness. With the appearance of the ghost army, the air seemed to have become a lot more depressed. Hu Wei's face also became solemn.

The formation of the ghost army did not disperse because it was close to Dragon City, it still maintained its previous appearance, every step was neatly aligned, and with their footsteps, even the earth trembled, and the invisible pressure made the soldiers of the Three Wolf Army breathe more uncontrollably. Fortunately, there are more than 10,000 soldiers in the city, and if there are few people, I am afraid that they will not be able to withstand such pressure.

"This is the strength of the veteran general!" Hu Wei said in a deep voice.

As the saying goes, hearing is false. To see is to believe. No matter how powerful others said about Ximen Zhanhu before, they would never be able to imagine what that kind of power was like until they saw it with their own eyes. And now, Hu Wei has experienced it himself. It's just a simple formation, and it already emits a powerful momentum, not to mention an ordinary soldier, even if it is him, he also feels the pressure like a mountain.

"Very strong!" Qin Ming's injuries are not completely healed, but this will also be on the city. Now yesterday when I was met with Simon Zhanhu. He already felt the domineering spirit of Ximen Zhanhu very clearly, he knew that Ximen Zhanhu was very strong, and he was here to see with his own eyes how strong Ximen Zhanhu was.

"It's coming!" Zhu Daneng spoke again. It's the same two words. The meaning represented is not the same, the previous 'coming' refers to the arrival of Ximen Zhanhu, and this time. It means that the Ximen War Tiger is about to start attacking the city.

*******************************************************

The sun did not burrow into the clouds because of the tearing of Dragon City, and it also experienced more than twenty years of war in the Tianfeng Continent, and it seemed to be used to such blood. It watched from the sidelines of the battle under the city.

Ximen Zhanhu is really strong! This is the unanimous feeling of the defenders of Dragon City from top to bottom. Before. Chen Dali and Lin Zhengfeng's attacks were also very fierce, but their fierceness was really different from that of Ximen Zhanhu.

Ximen Zhanhu's attack didn't feel so fierce at first, and when he finally made a move, the defenders in the city had a feeling of praising their strength but punching the cotton. The feeling of making a mistake is really uncomfortable. But just when everyone thought that Ximen Zhanhu was nothing more than this, Ximen Zhanhu showed his strength little by little.

The attack of the ghost army was fiercer every minute than the previous minute. It's not what you see with your eyes, it's a feeling that comes from the bottom of your heart. This growth seems endless, slowly but very firmly.

Compared with the fierceness of Lin Zhengfeng and Chen Dali, the fierceness of Ximen Zhanhu is a completely different feeling. If Lin Zhengfeng's attack is compared to a fire, then Ximen Zhanhu's offensive is like cold ice, the cold ice doesn't feel as strong as the fire at first, but over time, that feeling of going deep into the bones can really make anyone crazy.

The troops of the Ximen War Tiger have a kind of heaviness, although the height of the city tower is much higher than the place where the Ximen War Tiger is located, but no one thinks that they are taller than the Ximen War Tiger. Although Ximen Zhanhu is under the city, it gives people the feeling of being face-to-face.

"If this continues, I'm afraid the soldiers won't last long. Zhu Daneng said in a deep voice. Although he has more than twenty years of battlefield experience, he has never been as stressful as fighting against Simon War Tiger. In this battle, he was just a runner by Hu Wei's side, and he was not even a general, he already had the feeling of being pressed by the mountains, he really didn't dare to imagine what a terrible thing it would be if this battle was commanded by him.

Yes, although he didn't want to admit it, Zhu Daneng had to admit that he couldn't beat Ximen Zhanhu. In front of Ximen Zhanhu, he couldn't see a trace of chance. Even though the two armies had been fighting for less than an hour at this time, there had not been unacceptably large casualties on the side of the Three Wolves Army.

Hu Wei nodded heavily. He also saw the situation of the soldiers. He knew that Zhu Daneng was right, if the pressure from Ximen Zhanhu continued to increase, then what the result would be was almost predictable.

"They withdrew?" Qin Ming's voice interrupted Hu Wei's thoughts. Hu Wei's first reaction was impossible, but his gaze still turned sharply to the city.

Sure enough, as Qin Ming said, Ximen Zhanhu's troops did not continue to attack, but began to slowly retreat. With the speed of their retreat, it can be met, and in less than ten minutes, this battle will be over.

But everybody knows. This is definitely not the end, but just the beginning.

********************************************************

Ximen Zhanhu withdrew, but Hu Wei didn't think that he could let go of this breath. This time, Ximen Zhan Tiger showed a strong integration force, which was a very terrifying ability.

Ordinary soldiers may not know what integration power is, but a person like Hu Wei, who has fought for more than 20 years and is the leader of the whole army most of the time, if he doesn't even know the integration force, it is really a miracle in the world that he can survive until now.

To put it bluntly, the power of integration is to integrate all the forces of all aspects. form a whole. Just like the old Legion of the Undead. At that time, the Immortal Bird Legion had a field regiment, an independent regiment and a special regiment, all three of which could fight on their own, and they all had very strong strength. Integration is to fuse these three legions together and exert a more powerful strength than when they were fighting separately.

The reason why the Immortal Bird Legion was successful back then was precisely because Hu Wei had a very good talent in this area, although he didn't dare to say that he was a military master at that time, but the three legions in his hands definitely exerted a strength far beyond the three legions fighting alone.

And today's battle. Ximen Zhanhu's expression made Hu Wei feel deeply worried. At that time, the Immortal Bird Legion was able to exert a powerful force in the unity of the three armies, firstly because Hu Wei did have a talent for integration in this area, and secondly, because the leaders of the three legions, Zhu Daneng, Hou San, and Harrison, had a deep friendship. Another point is that the soldiers below came out of the same barracks, and some of them have known each other for more than ten years, so such troops are not very integrated. It is also possible to play a very good match.

However, the situation of Simon Zhanhu was not like that. Ximen Zhanhu's Red Pink Army, Chen Dali's Undead Army. Lin Zhengfeng's An Rong army was originally a disconnected force, and they were even hostile to each other. Under such circumstances, it only took one night for Ximen Zhanhu to allow these three armies to work well together, and from today's siege table, it is almost impossible to see that they are from three different armies. Hu Wei thought that if he sat on Ximen Zhanhu's seat instead, he would definitely not be able to do this.

Of course, there are inevitable factors for Ximen Zhanhu to be able to do this. From the attitudes of Chen Dali and Lin Zhengfeng towards Ximen Zhanhu, it can be seen that there is a hierarchy in the ghost army that outsiders do not understand. Although I don't know how the power of their division is divided, it is certain that Lin Zhengfeng and Chen Dali have absolute respect for Ximen Zhanhu, and Ximen Zhanhu can integrate the three armies so quickly, and has a deep relationship with Lin Chen.

In any case, this is not good news for Hu Wei. Because it is far easier to fight a scattered army than with a highly coordinated army, it will be a terrible nightmare for Hu Wei to show such an integration ability. You must know that Ximen Zhanhu's subordinates are far more than Lin Zhengfeng and Chen Dali, two ghost generals, if a few more troops jump out, anyone will have to cry when they see it.

*******************************************************

"Hey, why are you all here?"

Hu Wei came back to his senses and found that Zhu Da, Hou San, and Qin Ming were all staring at him behind him, and he couldn't help but look strange. The troops of the Ximen Zhanhu have already withdrawn, and they don't hurry up to rest, what are they doing standing here?

"Young Marshal, are you okay?" Zhu Daneng saw that Hu Wei came back to his senses and asked with a worried face.

"What can I do?" said Hu Wei with a blank expression. He's just standing here thinking about something, and if anything else is going to happen, then his life is too fragile.

Hou Sanzui said quickly: "But you have been standing here for most of the day." ”

Hou Sansan and the three were already preparing to go down to rest, but they inadvertently saw that Hu Wei did not leave the city, but stood there not knowing what to think, so they came up to see if Hu Wei had something wrong. I thought that Hu Wei was like being settled, and he stopped here for most of the day. They didn't know what Hu Wei was like, and they didn't dare to disturb him, so they could only wait on the side worriedly. Fortunately, Hu Wei came back to his senses, otherwise they really didn't know what to do.

"Has it been that long?" Hu Wei felt that he had just been thinking about Ximen Zhanhu for a while, and it was only ten or twenty minutes at most. Why did you go for most of the day?

"It's been so long, it's getting dark. Zhu Daneng reminded Hu Weidao.

Hu Wei glanced at the sky, and sure enough, as Zhu Daneng said, it was almost dark. It was not yet noon when Ximen Zhanhu withdrew, but it was not a stop for most of the day.

Hu Wei smiled embarrassedly: "This time flies really fast, I just wanted to do something, so I went for so long." Okay, I'm fine, so you all go back and rest. ”

Seeing that Hu Wei really didn't look like something was wrong, Zhu Daneng left the city tower a few times. They are not responsible for defending at night. If they stay here, it will affect the work of others.

Hu Wei watched the three of them leave, thought about it, and walked towards the Water Palace. He was here just now, and he really thought about a lot of things. This will make him want to meet Ouyang Putin.

Because of the war, the already lively streets of Longcheng were deserted again, and there were almost no ordinary people on the streets except for the nervous soldiers. Walking on this deserted street, even a very optimistic person. will feel heavy.

Glancing at the tightly closed doors and windows, Hu Wei knew that behind every door and window, there would be at least one pair of eyes uneasily watching the movement outside the door. They are all people who cannot take their fate into their own hands, and must always keep an eye on unexpected situations. Only then can it be possible to use the necessary means to save one's life before the crisis comes.

It's just that whether this can really be useful, I'm afraid it's just a matter of luck. If you're lucky, you might be able to get away with it. If you are unlucky, then the world has nothing to do with them.

********************************************************

"We played well today. ”

Ouyang Putin smiled when he saw Hu Wei coming in. Although he was not at the scene, most of the day passed. Enough for him to know what was happening on the battlefield.

Hu Wei looked at the smile on Ouyang Putin's face, but he couldn't laugh. Ouyang Putin is not on the battlefield, and he cannot feel the tremendous pressure on the battlefield. He only knew that today's battle did not give Ximen Zhanhu any advantage, and he should not know that today's battle was just a test of Ximen Zhanhu.

Yes, Ximen Zhanhu didn't fight so hard today, he just used today's battle to make the final integration of the troops.

At the time of the battle, even Hu Wei didn't see this, but thought of it as an afterthought. Ouyang Putin's intelligence officers, I'm afraid they haven't seen it until now, and Ouyang Putin naturally doesn't know the key to this.

"You seem to have something on your mind. Ouyang Putin is not a fool, he looked at Hu Wei's face full of worry, and he also put away his smile.

"It's not a concern, it's a worry. Hu Wei said heavily. Coming from the city all the way, Hu Wei did not ride a horse, but chose to walk. The reason for this is that it is a habit of Hu Wei, when he walks, he can concentrate and think.

"What are you worried about?" Ouyang Putin withdrew his hand from the handle of the teapot. He originally wanted to pour tea, but Hu Wei's tone made him have no intention of drinking tea.

Hu Wei glanced at Ouyang Putin deeply and said, "I'm worried that Longcheng won't be able to top tomorrow!"

"Ah!" With Ouyang Putin's temperament, he was also startled when he suddenly heard Hu Wei's words. Completely ignoring his gaffe, Ouyang Putin asked anxiously: "Why do you think so, is Ximen Zhanhu really that powerful?"

Ouyang Putin has always considered himself to be a figure of the same level as Ximen Zhanhu, which will have about the same number of troops in everyone's hands, and Ouyang Putin is constantly coming with reinforcements, plus Longcheng is in his hands, he doesn't think he will lose to Ximen Zhanhu. But Hu Wei said that Longcheng can't hold on to tomorrow in one sentence, which is too alarmist.

Hu nodded heavily: "Ximen Zhanhu is indeed very strong, stronger than we imagined. Your Majesty, if you believe me, then immediately order the withdrawal from Dragon City. As the old saying goes: stay in the green mountains, don't be afraid of no firewood. If you put all the old books here, then I'm afraid there will be no way to fight with Ximen Zhanhu in the future. ”

Hu Wei's words were very strict, and there was absolutely no joke. Ouyang Putin looked at Hu Wei in a daze for a long time, shook his head and said, "It's impossible for me to take the initiative to withdraw from Dragon City." Even if you put everyone together, you can't. ”

"Why?" asked Hu Wei with some excitement.

In the past few years, Long Cheng has not known how many times it has been easy, and in Hu Wei's view, if he loses it, he will lose it, and he will find a chance to get it back. There's really no need to smash all this bit of stuff into your hand.

Yes, Hu Wei is also reluctant to those farms, in the past three years of operation, the farm has been able to create a good value, so it is a pity to lose it.

But if there are no people, what will you do to protect the farm, Baolong City? (To be continued......
