Chapter 648: Outside the Heavenly Ancient City
On the other side, Ji Ren and others entered Jiannan Road, but did not go straight into the wilderness, but turned to the western front and marched to the ancient city of Tiangu after the first line pass.
Tiangu City is a barrier city behind the first-line pass, with a population of 700,000 and 70,000 defenders inside, of course, the defenders here are not elite warriors like Long Xiangjun, most of them are ordinary people who have no martial arts in one or two layers the day after tomorrow.
Ten miles away from the Tiangu City, Pan Shen walked to a wilderness slope accompanied by more than a dozen army generals, looked at the Tiangu City from afar, and saw that the city walls were densely packed with strong crossbows that could not see the trees clearly, and the sharp crossbow arrows were one meter long.
"One meter crossbow, three miles of range, can wear ten pairs of armor, the lethality is too great, the deputy capital, we might as well wait according to the soldiers."
News has come out from Jiannan Road, the Huangtian Department was slaughtered by the Long Xiang army led by the marshal, and only a few people escaped the catastrophe, thinking that it would not take ten days for the army to turn here. ”
This general is none other than Gan Yunting, one of Huang Fuxu's henchmen, who once competed with Huang Fuxu for the leader of the Tianxing Gang, and was later surrendered, and is now a congenital fifth-layer cultivator.
What he said was that he was afraid that Pan Shen would be so happy that he would attack Tianfu City without authorization, bringing huge losses to the Longxiang army under Huangfu Xu, and this was not without a target, Pan Shen had been marching into Tiangu City since he had captured the next line, and his intention was obvious.
"Hmph, according to what you say, let's just wait here? Gan Yunting, you are the descendant of the emperor's capital, even if you don't have merit in the future, you will be on the rise, and the future is worry-free, we people are different, no merit, eat?"
It was a fat man with a round face and thin eyes, wearing a suit of armor that was very joyful, but no one who knew him well dared to underestimate this person.
Shao Kang, the former big thief in the rivers and lakes, has 3,000 horse bandits under his command, although he is a small bug-like character compared to the behemoths such as the horse gang, but among ordinary people, he is also an unattainable strongman, and his cultivation is in the seventh layer of the congenital realm.
This person is now the marquis of the Longxiang Army, and the five hundred elite soldiers under him are all his old subordinates, which is a small team of the Longxiang Army under Huangfu Xu.
At present, only they rushed all the way to the outside of Tiangu City, if this city was defeated, it would be a great achievement, and no one could wipe it out.
Although it was a great achievement to put down the Shuzhou rebellion, the real beneficiaries were high-level officials, such as Jiang Jingtao, Yu Wenmu and others, and if they wanted to be promoted, they relied on these small achievements accumulated before.
According to what Gan Yunting said, stop here and wait for the army led by Ji Ren to come and converge, and then there will be three other troops and Ji Ren's own soldiers here, there are many monks and few porridges, and there are many people with little merit, which is impossible for an ambitious person to bear.
Shao Kang's words resonated with many people, and even a few people looked at Gan Yunting and showed strange expressions.
Gan Yunting and the others were originally low-level soldiers, and the best was only the team rate, but they ended up fighting at the front line; they made meritorious deeds, and were promoted to be equal to them in the blink of an eye, and the promotion was faster than riding a rocket, except for relying on Huang Fuxu, what other reason could there be?
Now although Gan Yunting is a fist and thinks about the army, in the eyes of several people, he is a full man who does not know that a hungry man is hungry, and they are not familiar with Huangfu Xu.
"You, Shao Junhou, I just suggested to Deputy Dutong Pan, how to do it, Deputy Dutong has his own plans, what you just said was a provocation?"
Gan Yunting's face changed, and Yin Wuji and the others beside him also looked at Shao Kang coldly, no matter how they looked from the outside, what they thought, the imprint of Huangfu Xu on their bodies could not be erased, everyone was prosperous and lost, and hitting Gan Yunting was a blow to them.
"Enough, it's all your own family, what are you arguing about? Shao Kang, you have to remember that now you are no longer reckless in the rivers and lakes, you have entered the barracks, you have your own military discipline constraints, and the Huangfu Dutong is your top boss, if you are dissatisfied, you can raise it with the Huangfu Dutong. ”
Huang Fuxu is in the main army, Huang Jiu follows on the left and right, and at this time the gloomy Lu Chuan is at the top, although there are no longer serpentine facets, but the temperament is there, even if there is still a line of distance between him and Shao Kang when it comes to cultivation, no one dares to underestimate him.
Lu Chuan spoke, Shao Kang's eyes showed a hint of jealousy, and he didn't say any more, Gan Yunting didn't pay attention to him, but Lu Chuan couldn't, this person not only has outstanding strength, but also goes straight to Huang Fuxu, and he is also a subordinate of his lineage, and he is also close to each other.
And what Lu Chuan said is also true, now they are all under the command of Huangfu Xu, regardless of their lineage or the bottom of the army, including Pan Shen, they are all marked by the same boat.
"This general has indeed thought about it, it must be impossible to attack Tiangu City hard, I can't afford the battle damage, and you are the same, but you don't need to attack it, as long as you enter the city, without the threat of those powerful crossbows, with our strength and strength, it is not impossible to capture Tiangu City. ”
Pan Shen didn't care about the argument between Shao Kang and Gan Yunting before, looked at the Tiangu City in the distance, looked down at the boundless earth, and said lightly.
"You see, the east gate of this Tiangu City is surrounded by wilderness, the soil is soft, we can open up the tunnel, enter the city from the underground, although it takes more effort, but it is very likely to succeed. ”
Pan Shen's Longxiang army is all elite warriors from the fifth layer of the day after tomorrow, and it is a little difficult for an ordinary army to open up the tunnels, and they may be helpless in the face of solid underground stones and water sources, but they will not.
Hearing Pan Shen's words, the generals behind him thought for a while, and also felt that this plan was feasible, and nodded one after another.
"But all of them are unified, but in all big cities, the protection of the bottom of the city must be strict, and there are more likely to be masters in charge, if they are blocked inside, the casualties will not be small. ”
Attacking a city from the ground is by no means the first time in this high-martial world, and many cities will have corresponding means of protection, such as a hundred meters below the city, there is an extremely strong building horizontally, which is enough to intercept the unscrupulous people.
"It's okay, I will personally lead the team this time, and this is Tiangu City, if it becomes a famine, I will be afraid of one or two.
And the guard general inside is just Chu Lan, who is at the bottom of the top ten generals under the emperor's command, he is not my opponent when I refine the gods, not to mention that this general has now trained the Yin God, and his martial arts have made great progress, so you can rest assured. ”
As Pan Shen spoke, a powerful momentum erupted, and the generals behind him retreated one after another, with surprise in their eyes, a Yin God master, leading people to rush underground, although there were some falls, but now the two armies are fighting, and the drops are nothing, as long as they can win.
"We will obey the orders of Deputy Commander Pan. ”
