Chapter 854: No need to be afraid

Songjiang Castle is located in the middle of the Tianjiang River, which is the largest of the three cities along the Yangtze River in the south of the Yangtze River, and it is also the most important city in terms of topography.

Because Songjiang City is located at the intersection of the two tributaries of the Tianjiang River and the main river, it can be said that it is the most important place on the entire Tianjiang River, and it is an important hub where the upstream and downstream, the main river and the tributaries intersect, and it has been regarded as an important strategic place on the Tianjiang River since ancient times.

Since ancient times, it is a place where soldiers must fight on the Tianjiang River, after the Tang Dynasty seized the world and occupied Middle-earth to establish an empire, it built the current Songjiang City at the intersection of the original two tributaries and the Tianjiang River.

Because Songjiang City is located at the confluence of three water systems, it has naturally become a hub connecting the upper and lower reaches of the Tianjiang River and the north and south banks, gathering a large number of merchants and travelers from all over the world, and gradually the city has become a commercial and trade center on the Tianjiang River.

The most amazing place in the whole Songjiang City is that the whole city was built in the Tianjiang River, and the original city was built on a Jiangxin Island in the center of the Tianjiang River, but later under the washing of the river, the mountains and rocks around the island were gradually washed down, and finally the mountains under the entire city were washed away.

It forms a castle that is almost suspended on the surface of the river, but it is connected to the surrounding river bank by a stone bridge, and it looks like a castle suspended on the surface of the river from a distance.

Such a city where three water systems converge and are suspended in the middle of the river is naturally a city that is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Even when the demon army swarmed in, it took nearly half a month, and finally it was designed to break the gate of Songjiang City before the arrival of the Jiangbei army's support, and break through this prosperous city that towered at the confluence of the three rivers and above the Tianjiang River.

After breaking through Songjiang City, the Demon Clan sent a large number of troops to garrison it, on the one hand, to fight against the army of the Tang Empire in Jiangbei and prevent the army of Jiangbei from rushing to the south of the Yangtze River through Guò Songjiang City.

On the other hand, it is also to facilitate the assembly of the demon army. You can jump directly over the danger of the Tianjiang River through Guò Songjiang City, and prepare for the demon clan to continue to attack north.

It's just that after the demon clan entered Songjiang City, in order to prevent the demon clan from advancing north, and also to cover the people in Songjiang City from retreating to the north, the stone bridge that originally led to the north bank of the Tianjiang River in Songjiang City had been cut off, which was also the reason why the demon clan could not continue to advance north for a while.

However, although the demon clan could not continue to advance north for the time being, they occupied all the cities along the river on the south bank of the Tianjiang River, and it can be said that they already had the initiative to cross the river at any time.

Songjiang City will become an important place for the demon clan to advance north. Therefore, in Lucius's view, the recapture of Songjiang City is very important, even more important than the capture of Wangjiang and Linjiang.

However, the demon clan that followed Lucius did not think that Lucius would be able to capture Songjiang City, because Songjiang City was garrisoned by demon fairies and demon Buddhas, and there were also many elites of the demon clan gathered in it, coupled with the treacherous terrain, it was simply a city that could not be breached.

Whether it's brute marks or Niu Da Zhuang and the White Tiger Demon King. Or that old tengu, in fact, was surprised by Lucius's decision to attack Matsue Castle.

The old tengu even went to Lucius to advise him, wanting to make Lucius temporarily dispel his thoughts, thinking that in the current situation, Lucius should continue to attack other cities in the south. After capturing enough cities, gather superior forces and cooperate with the Jiangbei Terran army to attack Songjiang City.

Lucius didn't agree with the old tengu's suggestion, but the reason was simple, the scout machine sent by Lucius had already brought back the news. The demon clan had discovered his existence and had sent a large army to encircle and suppress him.

So he wanted to use a surprise method, when everyone felt that it was impossible for them to attack Matsue Castle. Attacking Songjiang City with lightning speed, as long as Songjiang City is recaptured, then he can get in touch with Jiangbei and truly gain a foothold on the south bank of the Tianjiang River.

Lucius's idea is very bold, and it can be regarded as letting the demon clan and the people of the human race on the southern bank see his strong self-confidence, as well as his attitude of daring to think and do.

Now that he has gathered the army of the demon clan to subdue, and united the army of the human race rescued from Linjiang City and Wangjiang City, plus some demon hunters sent by the demon hunter family, he has gathered nearly 100,000 people, and he is marching directly towards Songjiang City in this way.

didn't even have any deliberate concealment, just bluntly told those demon clans in Songjiang City that he was going to attack Songjiang City.

For Lucius's swaggering and undisguised strong attack, Caroline, Modès and Qilier who accompanied him were also puzzled.

During the march, Caroline first couldn't help but ask: "Lucius, why are you doing this? You know that such an attack is very bad for us, but you still attack so directly, do you really think that such a direct attack of the army will be beneficial to us?"

Modès was more direct, and without waiting for Lucius to respond to Caroline, she spoke first: "I think he did it on purpose, wanting to borrow the hand of the demon clan to weaken their demon clan's own strength. ”

Modes obviously deliberately teased Lucius's words, but Qilier believed it, looked at Lucius in amazement and asked, "Do you really think so? But can we really calculate the demon clan like this? If those demon clans are unwilling to kill each other, wouldn't it be dangerous for us?"

Listening to Qi Li'er's words, Modès couldn't help laughing, patted Qi Li'er with a little naïve little face and said: "You are really cute and cute, do you really think that Lucius is trying to weaken the strength of the demon clan? If it is really to weaken the demon clan, he doesn't have to capture those demon clans at all." ”

Qilier suddenly came back to her senses, and understood that Modes's words were deliberately teasing Lucius, and she also felt a little embarrassed that she was busy answering the phone because she didn't know.

Lucius naturally knew that Modès was deliberately teasing himself, his eyes swept over Modès, Caroline and Qilier, and said with a smile: "Actually, Songjiang City may not be as difficult to attack as you think, there are some things when you think you can, you may really be able to do it." ”

Mo Dai sneered unceremoniously and said, "Yes, now you think it's okay, but even if the demon clan is mobilizing forces to encircle and suppress us, then since you want to attack Songjiang City, why don't you contact the army on the north bank?"

"Because I want to test the strength of those demon clans who are obedient to me, by the way, whether those demon clan generals are really submissive to me, I am not like them stabbing me in the back in the future, after all, after taking Songjiang City, we will continue to go south. ”

Modeis was still dissatisfied with Lucius's answer, but she didn't argue anything, because he knew very well what Lucius had already decided, and even if he said more, he wouldn't be able to change the decision made by Lucius.

What's more, now that the army has set off, even if Lucius wants to change his decision, he will not risk the morale of the army to change his strategy.

Caroline, on the other hand, said sternly, "Since you think you can attack, you always need to come up with a strategy, right?

Caroline felt that it was very dangerous for the army to attack Songjiang City directly, and thought that Lucius should come up with some strategies or stratagems to increase the success of the army's siege, and also reduce the possible losses caused by their attack, so as to take Songjiang City at the lowest cost.

However, Lucius shook his head and said, "No, no, attacking Songjiang City will be a fierce battle, and we must fight hard." ”

"Why?" exclaimed the three girls in unison, feeling that it was really unexpected for Lucius to do this.

You must know that in the eyes of everyone, Lucius has always been a guy who will never take risks, he will always arrange everything well, plan every step clearly, and only then will he take steps step by step, and it is the first time to take such a straightforward adventure as now.

So whether it was Caroline, Moddie or Qilier, they were all puzzled by Lucius's approach, and they didn't understand why Lucius had to go to Songjiang City to fight hard?

Lucius knew that the three of them were puzzled by themselves, and felt that what they did was somewhat unexpected to them, but Lucius still said firmly: "This war must be hard-hitting, only by showing enough strength and forcibly taking Songjiang City can we really take the lead and deter the demon clan." ”

Without waiting for the three of them to respond to him, Lu Xius continued: "I just want to let the Demon Clan, as well as the Immortal Realm and the Buddha Kingdom understand that we are not afraid of death, and we dare to challenge them. ”

Lucius's firmness and domineering made Caroline, Modès and Qilier stunned, they had never seen such a Lucius, and today they saw such a resolute side of Lucius, and suddenly felt that such a Lucius had a different kind of charm.

The three girls were unconsciously attracted to Lucius, and soon immersed themselves in the appreciation of Lucius's spirit, and they didn't even know that the demon general had entered the carriage.

Until Lucius spoke again: "You don't have to worry, haven't I already given you the weapons to attack the city? Make good use of those weapons, believe that you can break through that city, don't be afraid, in fact, that city is not necessarily as difficult to conquer as you think." ”

The leaders of the demon clan did not speak, but the old tengu said: "Your Highness Lucius, you must understand that there is Songjiang City, and above the entire Tianjiang River, that city is also the most difficult to conquer, are you really so confident?"

Lucius also responded with a smile to Lao Tengu's question: "Lao Tengu, you don't have to worry, when you use my siege machinery, you will understand that the fortifications of Songjiang City are just a layer of paper that can be broken at the slightest poke." (To be continued......)
