On the 22nd, it snowed for four days and four nights, and the Heavenly Absolute Empire had besieged Dongning City for seven days, and the city pass was full of vertical and horizontal sword qi and scars caused by trebuchets, and the city walls seemed to be washed with blood, and in the cold winter, the blood of the soldiers quickly froze into ice on the walls, which looked like they were plated with a layer of blood-colored ice crystals.

Under the city, the corpses were all over the field, and Gong Shangming ordered the archers to be on guard, not allowing the Heavenly Absolute Empire to collect corpses, so that layers of corpses of the Heavenly Absolute Empire soldiers were piled up under the city, and when the Heavenly Absolute Empire attacked the city, it was necessary to step on the corpses of his companions to set up a ladder, as if the corpses had also become part of the siege equipment.

......

In the middle of the night, the camp of the Heavenly Absolute Empire ran out of food.

Standing in front of the map, Chen Yu's body couldn't help trembling slightly, and he suddenly turned to look at the generals and said, "I have already attacked the East City Gate this afternoon, why did you retreat?"

A commander hurriedly knelt down, and said with a pale face: "Your Majesty, our casualties are too great, all the two thousand brothers in the vanguard battalion died in the city, and the cavalry and heavy shields of the Chinese army can't resist the stones on the city at all, and just under the east city gate, our dragoon regiment has killed seven dragon knights, not that the last general doesn't want to attack the city, but it can't be attacked at all, even if the last general orders, it is just to let the remaining five thousand brothers die under the city!"

"You're afraid of death, but it's justified?!"

Chen Yu stretched out his hand and pointed at Chang Hu, and shouted: "For the generals are as greedy for life and afraid of death as you, who will attack the city without hesitation? How many men and horses did the soldiers of the three armies lose to kill the city, and they fell short because of your cowardice, but you still have eloquent quibbles! Come on, pull Chang Hu down for me and behead him!"

"Your Majesty!

Chang Hu knelt on the ground, but was pulled down by several guards, and in the blink of an eye, a bloody human head had been presented in front of Chen Yu, but no one dared to speak from beginning to end, and the siege of the city for seven days was unsuccessful, but it lost at least nearly 150,000 troops, Chen Yu needed to vent his anger, and Chang Hu was just unlucky.

"What's the situation in the city?" Chen Yu looked at everyone with cold eyes.

A group of commander-level generals did not dare to squeak, except Liaoyang walked forward slowly and arched his hand: " Your Majesty, according to the information I know, our army used the dragon knight to burn the granary from the sky on the first day of the siege, and most of the stored grain in Dongning City has been burned, and the food has become less, and the 200,000 troops in the city can only continue to forcibly collect food from the people's homes, so that these days the people in Dongning City have complained, and today, we have seen some people change their children and eat, many people have not eaten for three or five consecutive days, and the bark and roots in the city have almost been gnawed away. ”

Chen Yu said lightly: "It seems that Gong Shangming can't support it for long, and the people in the city are easy to eat, which means that Gong Shangming's military food has also been exhausted, as long as we surround the city, we can capture Dongning City in one go!

"Yes!"

Liaoyang frowned and said, "Your Majesty, our army's food has also been cut off. ”

"When?"

"This morning, it is already night, and there are still many soldiers in the battalion who have not even eaten lunch, and many moldy and rotten grains have been taken out and boiled, but it is still a drop in the bucket, and it is not enough at all. ”

"Do the soldiers know about the starvation?"

"I don't know yet. ”

Chen Yu took a deep breath: "Then we must not let them know, if the order goes down, it will be said that the grain transportation team is blocked on the road, and it will definitely arrive within a day, besides...... Kill 10,000 horses in the vanguard battalion of the Heavenly Absolute Legion, save the emergency. ”

The Heavenly Absolute Legion is the heart and soul of the Dongcheng King, and the pioneer battalion is the elite iron cavalry of the Heavenly Absolute Legion, and suddenly the Dongcheng King frowned, and said: "Your Majesty, once you kill horses for food, I am afraid that the combat power of the Heavenly Absolute Legion will be greatly reduced, not to mention ...... 10,000 war horses and war horses can feed an army of 800,000, and after a day, there will still be no food. ”

Chen Yu frowned: "The king of Dongcheng doesn't have to worry too much, I have calculated, in addition to the vanguard camp of the Heavenly Absolute Legion, we have a total of 150,000 cavalry, these 150,000 war horses are enough for us to support for fifteen days, as long as we hold on, the people in the city may have all starved to death, and Dongning City will be won without a fight!"

The King of Dongcheng shuddered: "Your Majesty, are you planning to give up the Iron Cavalry of the Heavenly Absolute Empire? Once we don't have these 150,000 Iron Cavalry, what else can we do to fight a positional battle with the Tianji Empire?"

"If a man starves to death, what if he has an iron horseman?"

Chen Yu looked at him coldly and said: "I have made up my mind, there is no need to say more, kill horses for food every day, be sure to seal all the grain roads around Dongning City, we can't eat food, Gong Shangming doesn't want to eat it, I want to see how long this powerless sour scholar can last." ”

Saying that, Chen Yu saluted Han Yuan and said, "Sect Master, let's go to the Forest of No Return with me tonight, I want to meet the Demon Emperor and see what she does, aren't you afraid of the revenge of my million-strong army?"

Han Won nodded: "Okay." ”

Liaoyang frowned and said: "Since the female killer has decided to cooperate with Bai Ze's mercenaries, then he must have made up his mind, Your Majesty and the sect master have no need to take risks at all, after all, the Immortal Forest is the territory of the demon spirit clan, in case the female killer gathers a large army, I am afraid that Your Majesty will have to worry about your life." ”

Chen Yu smiled brightly: "The soldiers of the three armies fought to the death for me, and it is worth gambling for the lives of the soldiers of the three armies, I believe that your female murder should not want to take my life." ”

Han Yuan clenched his fists: "Your Majesty, rest assured, I will gather all the masters of the Heavenly Absolute Sect to go together, even if the female killer wants to be unfavorable to us, it will be at most a fish to the death." ”

"Yes, very good. ”

......

Late at night, the group entered the Forest of No Return.

The snow is falling, and the female killer on the hill can be said to be a hole in the fire for this group of people, and Lin Muyu, Sikong Yao, Qin Yin and others are standing on the newly established rudimentary fortress, this fortress is frozen with soil, stones and water, guarded by 100,000 Bai Ze mercenaries, named Bai Ze Fortress, after many days of transportation, now Bai Ze Fortress has been regarded as a forest of crossbow arrows and a group of chariots.

Far away, Chen Yu looked up at the fortress that suddenly appeared on the grain road, and couldn't help frowning, "What's going on? When did a city fortress appear on the snake road?"

Liaoyang squinted his eyes and looked at it carefully, and said: "What is flying on the city fortress is the battle flag of Bai Ze's mercenaries, it turns out that Bai Ze's mercenaries have been hiding here......"

Chen Yu was silent.

Liaoyang said: "Your Majesty, what's wrong?"

"If we retreat ......" In the cold weather, Chen Yu's forehead was covered with cold sweat, and said: "If we retreat, where should we go, this Bai Ze mercenary is like a deadly sharp knife on the way to our retreat, this ...... This Sikong Yao doesn't want to leave a way out for our Heavenly Absolute Empire!"

Liaoyang shook his head: "The location of this city fortress is unique, it can be said that it is impossible to open a husband, if it is really as His Majesty said, I am afraid that it is really a big deal." ”

Chen Yu gritted his teeth and said in a low voice: "It's hateful, once Dongning City is captured, I will destroy Bai Ze's mercenaries as soon as possible, a group of reckless men who don't know the height of the sky!"

Han Yuan wore a black robe, flew quietly in the air, and suddenly said, "Your Majesty, the Demon Emperor Maiden has come to greet us!"

Sure enough, in the heavy snow, there were dense figures on the post, the demon emperor and the female killer were still holding the pipa, standing elegantly and quietly in the wind and snow, looking at Chen Yu and his party with a pair of smart eyes, and around her were surrounded by many demon kings and demon spirits with demon venerable strength, and the hills roared in a low voice, at least tens of thousands of high-level demon spirits gathered here.

Chen Yu stepped on the snow, suddenly flew up, and said with his body in the air and fists: "Chen Yu see His Majesty the Demon Emperor!"

"The little woman has seen His Majesty Chen Yu!" The female killer smiled slightly: "I don't know why Your Majesty brought hundreds of people here this time?"

Chen Yu smiled faintly and said, "I just want to ask, why did His Majesty the Demon Emperor allow Bai Ze's mercenaries to let go wild on the Snake Disc Road, has Your Majesty forgotten the agreement between us?"

"Didn't forget. ”

The female killer looked at her faintly, and said: "It's just that Bai Ze's mercenary's chips are more attractive, and Miss Sikong Yao also promised that she would never set fire to the forest and never return to the forest, and the little woman is the emperor of the demon spirit clan, so I can only make a choice, I chose Bai Ze mercenary." ”

Chen Yu gritted his teeth: "Your Majesty the Demon Emperor has already decided to be the enemy of our Heavenly Absolute Empire?"

"Whatever you want. ”

The female killer grinned and said: "But it seems that His Majesty has brought so many people over, presumably this fight must be fought, since you want to fight, what do you say so much?

Suddenly, there was a wolf howling and tiger roaring on the hill, and one after another demon spirits showed their hideous claws and fangs.

Not only that, but there were also dense Bai Ze mercenaries in white robes on the hill, who stretched their longbows and tightened them, pointing straight at the bottom of the mountain, the arrows were glowing with a faint cold light, all the magic heart arrows, and even, in addition to the archers, there were ballistas and hunting god crossbows, all pointing directly at Chen Yu and others.

At the foot of the mountain, the sleeves of Han Yuan's robe flew up, and a stream of golden light came out of his body, flying up like a god, and Su Ran smiled with a swaying smile: "Nu Ji, do you really want to start a war with the Heavenly Absolute Sect?"

The female killer smiled faintly: "Sect Master Han Yuan, you are a generation of grandmasters, if we are reasonable, you are now provoking our demon spirits in the territory of my demon spirit clan, but we are not going to take the initiative to provoke a war." ”

"Strike, strike......"

Han Yuan laughed: "From now on, there will be no more demons between the mountains, kill me!"
