Chapter 499: Difficult to Attack and Defend

The top forces of the Human Emperor Kingdom and the Ghost Emperor Kingdom, their every move is particularly attention-grabbing, the matter of the loss and recovery of the six cities on the border of the Human Emperor Kingdom spread throughout the Xiandu world almost on the day that Wang Mo and others captured the six cities, and that kind of uproar made everyone's shock to Wang Mo become unbelievable again.

With less than 20,000 horses, nearly 100,000 horses and horses defeated the Ghost Imperial Kingdom, Wang Mo's name, during this time, spread rapidly in the entire immortal capital world, but for Wang Mo, many people are still more worried about his future movements, after all, when they captured the six border cities that day, the masters of the Snow Ju clan were not there, otherwise Wang Mo and they would definitely not succeed, even if they recaptured the six cities, I am afraid it would not be so easy!

When some people combine the two major things that Wang Mo has done in the past few years, they can't help but admire Wang Mo's methods, if Wang Mo hadn't assassinated more than 20 masters of the Ghost Emperor back then, I'm afraid today's city will not be so easy!

Wang Mo obviously knows this situation better than anyone else, which is why he chose to assassinate the masters of the Ghost Emperor Kingdom one after another when the masters of the Snow Ju clan were not there, and this is also the reason why Wang Mo chose to lead the immortals of the Human Emperor Kingdom to attack back when Li Simiao's Hui clan broke through, and for Wang Mo to recapture the six border cities with only 20,000 people, it obviously angered the high-level of the Ghost Emperor Kingdom, that is, on the third day when they broke the city, the immortals of the Ghost Emperor Kingdom in the six border cities almost doubled!

Wang Mo, who got the news, sent a distress jade talisman for several days, asking the Human Emperor to send reinforcements, but after several months, the reinforcements sent by the Human Emperor have been silent, no reinforcements, no masters to help, even if Wang Mo is great and his command ability is strong, he is so helpless in the face of absolute numbers and strength......

The six border cities that had been recaptured with great effort were also crushed by the huge men and horses of the Ghost Emperor Kingdom, and they were lost again one after another, and Wang Mo and the others were also defeated one after another, and in just one year, the six cities in the past, now only Tianjiang City is still struggling to support!

Now the highest cultivation immortal in Wang Mo's group is a Death Gate Immortal, this person is one of the nine King Kongs sent by the King Hunter back then, named Xu Yuan, and the highest position now, is a middle-aged man with a kind face and short stature, but he knows that his talent is not enough to defend the key city of Tianjiang, so he handed over the supreme command of the whole army to Wang Mo.

And now, Xu Yuan, who is short and fat, and Wang Molian, who has a cold face, are carefully discussing the battle with the other four Death Gate Immortals, as well as He Yu and others!

In the city mansion, He Yu slapped the table with an angry face, and scolded unceremoniously: "It's really amazing, it's been six months, and the top hasn't sent troops down, so you really plan to wipe out our whole army?"

Xu Yuan also sighed lightly: "In the past, there was still the formation of the second master, which could support it for a while, but now there are more and more enemy formation immortals, and I am afraid that the formation set by the second master will not last long!"

Under the afterglow of the sunset, the banners and camp tents of the Ghost Emperor Kingdom are all over the mountains, so that the defenders of Tianjiang City are overshadowed, although the intelligence says that the Ghost Emperor Kingdom has 100,000 troops this time, but many people in the defenders do not have a clear concept of 100,000, until they see the endless banners and tents thousands of miles away from the city, everyone intuitively realized the disparity between the outnumbered and the huge momentum of the Ghost Emperor.

And that's only one-third of the men, and the remaining two-thirds of the horses in the five border cities that have been recaptured are getting ready to go......

"Tonight's dinner is two hours early, and the patrol officers and men will change shifts and sleep, recuperate their spirits, and prepare to attack the enemy in the second half of the night. "On the top of the city, Wang Mo, who was observing the enemy's situation, suddenly gave orders to several major generals around him, and everyone looked at each other, the defenders of Tianjiang City were less than 6,000 people, and they actually wanted to take the initiative to attack 100,000 troops, which was tantamount to looking for death in the eyes of ordinary people.

Only Xu Yuan and several other generals secretly bowed their heads and secretly thought: This Wang Mo is indeed outstanding, and he dares to attack the opponent's army with absolute weakness. This courage alone is very much beyond the reach of people, and perhaps this attack will not cause much loss to the enemy, but it can boost the confidence of your own soldiers.

Especially at this moment when people are panicked and shocked by the enemy's voice, a small victory can also make your own soldiers feel at ease.

That night, the soldiers of the Ghost Emperor Kingdom who had just rested were awakened by the sound of gongs and drums on the Tianjiang city wall, and panicked, only to find that the other party was just clamoring and harassing, and was not really going out of the city to capture it.

The generals - the face of the ridicule of the soldiers of the Imperial Kingdom bluffed, while ordering the foot soldiers to return to the camp to rest, four or five times in a row, until the soldiers of the Ghost Emperor State no longer bothered, Wang Mo took the only remaining more than 1,000 soldiers of the broken word army under the cover of the shouts of the patrol soldiers at the head of the city and the cover of the formation, quietly killed the local tent, until more than ten camp tents were ignited, and thousands of rebel generals who were in the middle of the battle were killed, which made the people of the Ghost Emperor Kingdom awake.

Since I don't know how many opponents there are in the dark, the Ghost Emperor Kingdom didn't dare to fight, and they retreated one after another, until they retreated for more than thirty miles before regaining their foothold, and when they looked back at their opponents, they had calmly withdrawn to the city.

Knowing that he was being teased, the vanguard officer of the Ghost Emperor Kingdom was furious this time, and seeing that the sky was about to dawn, he couldn't wait to give an order, and the 40,000 army was divided into two parts, one of which surrounded Tianjiang City, and the other launched a thorough attack on Tianjiang City.

The soldiers of the Ghost Emperor led by the vanguard troops, including the elite troops of various departments, have unquestionable combat effectiveness, but they did not expect that the small Tianjiang City would dare to hold on in the face of an army of 100,000, and they would not even die, and they started a guerrilla war!

At this time, when the vanguard officer was commanding dozens of array immortals to break through the defensive formation laid by Wang Mo outside Tianjiang City, he was suddenly attacked by the immortals in the city, but seeing that all kinds of magic weapons were dense like rain, pouring down from the city, and their attacks were so dense and swift that it made people suspect that the defenders of Tianjiang City were not 6,000 but 60,000.

The vanguard officer saw that more than half of his soldiers were killed and wounded before they approached the city wall for a hundred meters, and the rest had just entered along the crack in the formation broken by their own phalanx immortals, and before they got close to the city gate, they saw countless swords pouring down from the void, as well as all kinds of fireballs and thunderbolts, and countless soldiers who had managed to enter were instantly chopped into pieces and burned into ashes.....

The attack lasted for a whole day, and the Ghost Emperor Kingdom basically found nothing except for leaving thousands of corpses under the city, and in the face of the tragic battlefield, the vanguard officer realized for the first time that he had encountered the most stubborn opponent since he led the army.

"Send out the jade talisman immediately, and ask for troops in the nearest Baishui City!" When the vanguard officer gave this order to the lieutenant general, the general was quite incomprehensible.

"Don't underestimate Tianjiang City. The vanguard officer seemed to see through the suspicion of the deputy general, and couldn't help but explain, "Although the number of guards of Tianjiang City is less than six thousand, they are Wang Mo commanding the battle, that is not only the demon king who can kill more than 20 immortal immortals, but also a strong array immortal, a wise commander, whether a city is strong or not, the city wall and the formation outside are secondary, and more importantly, the will of the main general and the loyalty of the generals, from this point of view, Tianjiang City is a strong city that far surpasses all immortal cities." ”

The general hesitated: "Our army has already broken through the five immortal cities of the Human Emperor Kingdom, why don't you bypass the Heavenly Frontier and march directly?"

The vanguard officer shook his head, pointed to the map and said: "We are on a lone expedition, the weakest is the long logistics supply line, if we let Tianjiang City nail to the rear of our army, firstly, the logistics supply line is extremely dangerous, and secondly, our army may be cut off by the Tianjiang soldiers at any time, and the entire army will be in danger, so we must take Tianjiang before we can continue to attack." ”

With many years of experience in warfare, the vanguard officer keenly felt the importance and difficulty of capturing Tianjiang City, but he did not expect it to be so difficult, he really couldn't figure out how to use 40,000 people to not advance an inch outside Tianjiang City, which was less than 6,000 people, this was really a bit unbelievable!!

Just as the vanguard officer was meditating, suddenly a lieutenant general came with a jade talisman in his hand: "My lord, the commander of Baishui City has ordered!"

The vanguard officer was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly asked the deputy general to read it, only to see the deputy general's right hand wave suddenly, and the jade talisman suddenly floated in the air, and four large ink-colored characters instantly appeared: "Only besiege but not attack!"

The vanguard officer was a little strange: "Only besiege but not attack?" The pioneer officer muttered at first, and then his eyes suddenly lit up, and his hands suddenly clapped: "Why didn't I expect that!!"

The lieutenant general was also a little strange, and couldn't help asking, but saw the vanguard officer smile coldly: "We have been holding out for more than a year, I'm afraid there is no food in Tianjiang City at this moment!!"

At this time, Tianjiang City was obviously just as the vanguard officer said, there was no longer the slightest ration, and at the same time, a large number of soldiers had already gathered outside Xu Yuan's house at this moment......

Looking at the faces that were swollen due to hunger, Xu Yuan's eyes faintly filled with a trace of crystal tears, he was a dead door immortal, he had already opened the valley, even if he didn't eat it for two or three years, it would be fine, as long as he relied on the aura of heaven and earth every day, he could satisfy his hunger, but these soldiers were not, most of them were cultivators under the injured door, even if they absorbed a large amount of heaven and earth aura every day, they could not solve the pain in their stomachs!

After struggling for a while, Xu Yuan nodded slowly to the soldiers: "Yes, without food, we can't hold out for long, but please rest assured, we will have food soon, I promise." ”

"How long will it take?" asked reluctantly.

A trace of difficulty and hesitation flashed in Xu Yuan's eyes, but in the end, he resolutely turned to the entourage behind him and ordered in a low voice, "Go and ask Madame to come out." ”

The entourage responded, and after a while, he led a woman out of the back hall, that was Xu Yuan's concubine, because she was the most favored by Xu Yuan, so even if she was fighting, Xu Yuan had always taken her with her, that concubine was even worse than those soldiers, she was stupid and stupid, and she couldn't cultivate at all, just see this woman who was once as beautiful as a flower, and now she has become disfigured due to hunger, withering like a flower lacking water, and looking at the soldiers suspiciously, she couldn't help but ask in a low voice: "Master, what are you doing in a hurry to call the slave family out?"
