Chapter 45: Shocking Change
"Collecting the essence of the sun and the moon?" Fan Feng was a little puzzled. After a few more looks, I finally saw in this booklet, but it was just an auxiliary method of practice.
In the hands of the disciples of Tianfeng Island, everyone has a Moon Spirit Bead, and they can use the power of the Moon Spirit to cultivate.
However, it has been like this for a long time. Something will eventually go wrong, and the moon is biased towards yin. Therefore, Tianfeng Island has created a method of collecting sun essence to balance.
This can make the disciples of Tianfeng Island cultivate their internal strength, and they can enter the realm extremely quickly.
But Rao is like this, like the assassin boy who was killed just now, when he was more than ten years old, he stepped into the realm of seclusion, but it is not a simple sentence that can be compared!
Fan Feng thought about it for a while, except for leaving the Moon Spirit Bead behind. Everything else is to find a way to destroy the corpse. Even the pamphlet was not left.
In his heart, he is secretly saying, those overseas casual cultivators should really be killed.
It's not just Netherworld Island, it's involved in the affairs of these overseas domains, and it's the wind and rain that makes it seem that this Tianfeng Island is also colluding.
I thought again, this time my father led the huge fleet of the East China Sea Domain to battle, which was a sure thing, why was he suddenly surrounded?
The muddy waters are very deep!
The Zanjiao clan was originally the indigenous people of this island. In the past, he was the master of this place, when the Great Chu was pioneered, it was introduced into the Middle Earth civilization, and various means were used to support a strong one, and the Great Chu civilization was accepted, and it was named a county.
Later, three or five more feudal feudal domains were established on this island, until finally the Tokai feudal domain was sealed here. Several feudal feudal clans were slowly merged into the Tokai Domain. Only the Zanjiao clan remained.
The Tokai Domain occupies the flattest and fertile land on the entire island, but the entire island. It was still rugged and mountainous, and the march was difficult. This is especially true in the territory of the Zanjiao Domain.
Although in the early years, an official trade road was built. It can be used by large armies. However, the Zanjiao clan sent people to destroy these roads, and even set up ambushes along the way. Make the army walk more slowly. Many armies suffered more or less losses.
On the contrary, it was the logistics where Fan Feng was located, but he did not suffer any losses.
The talents he has gathered really have some skills. According to Fan Feng's orders, he scattered and moved within twenty or thirty miles of the surroundings, encountering a small group of sabotage enemies, and eradicating them all.
Originally, it only took more than a month to march. The army had been walking for a month and a half, and had just penetrated into the hinterland of the Zanjiao Domain. It will take at least three days before we can reach Blackthorn City.
This was one of the three major cities of the Zanjiao Domain, and it was also the main target of their army in the East China Sea Domain.
However, Cao Cheng summoned Fan Feng to the barracks to discuss matters. When discussing how to attack Blackthorn City, there was a shocking thunderbolt.
When the sea division led by Fan Changsheng of the East China Sea personally attacked Zanjiao Port, he was attacked by the army led by the lord of the Leliang Domain, Long Soul, and now he is besieged in Zanjiao Port.
When this bad news came, the entire army suddenly lost ground. That Cao cost is a mediocre person. At this moment, I was even more panicked, and I didn't know what to do.
At this time, the army could not advance or retreat. Forward, with the Black Thorn City in front of you. Moreover, the army is already a partial division, and its strength is already weak. It is used to contain and even clean up the battlefield and occupy territory.
There was no preparation for the capture of Blackthorn at all. It is to defeat the Black Thorn City and kill all the way to Zanjiao Port. It's almost an inaccomplished task.
And going back? Just kidding? The lord is still trapped in Zandchau Harbor.
However, if you don't go forward or retreat. Then the consequences could be even more dangerous.
Once the fleet is destroyed. Or get out of trouble. The enemy is all possible, turn the target to them.
The army marched slowly and was too constrained by the terrain. In the enemy territory, one bad one is the end of the total annihilation.
Under such circumstances, Cao Cheng had no choice. In the end, he could only push Fan Feng out and said, "The matter is urgent, so I have to ask the eldest prince to come forward!"
At this time, Fan Feng's heart was pounding. For a mediocre person like Cao Cheng, when encountering this kind of thing, the first thing that comes to mind is how to evade responsibility. Unwilling to make their own choices.
I'm afraid that in the bottom of his heart, there are 120,000 points of willingness to go back. But I don't dare to be the master!
Fan Feng regarded this as the most rare opportunity.
Many times, everyone is faced with more than one opportunity. But the biggest difference between successful people and unsuccessful people is that they don't seize the opportunity.
Although this opportunity is sudden, it is extremely dangerous, and it can be wrenched to pieces at any time.
But Fan Feng took it unceremoniously, if you don't take it, you will suffer!
Fan Feng unceremoniously sat on the throne and said: "The lord humiliates the ministers to death, and the father worries about the death of the son." Now that the monarch is in trouble, we should repay ourselves and rescue the monarch. Take Blackthorn!"
Listening to Fan Feng's order, almost everyone agreed weakly.
Everyone knows that it is impossible to take down Black Thorn City.
Now the news of the defeat of the naval division has already spread in the army. Morale plummeted.
Originally, they were just trying to contain Zuò, and they didn't make much preparation to take Black Thorn City at all. Not to mention now......
However, what Fan Feng said is justified. Nor are they likely to object.
It's just that the army is lifeless!
Fan Feng is naturally very aware of his current situation. If he could, he would like to return with the army immediately.
But Fan Feng also knows that if he really returns like this. Then you will only have the fate of a scapegoat.
When the time comes, Cao Cheng and these guys will unceremoniously throw him out. It was his Fan Feng's command, not that they were unwilling to save the feudal lord......
When the time comes, the hat of disloyalty and unfilial piety will be fastened on his head.
Fan Feng didn't care about the army, anyway, although nominally, let himself be in charge, but it was impossible for him to mobilize the army, and most of the generals could not listen to the orders of him, the eldest prince.
But now, the baggage team has become extremely important. After the defeat of the naval division, it is difficult to say whether the baggage ships behind can replenish the supplies in time.
And now the baggage is all under Fan Feng's control. He quickly gathered all the people he had recruited.
Regular standing army. Naturally, it's not good to move around, but don't forget about it. The vast majority of these 50,000 troops were government soldiers.
And now is the time when people are panicking, and no one will notice his small movements.
So, after two days. Fan Feng actually lit up five hundred people and quietly disappeared without a trace. It took more than half a day before someone stumbled upon it.
Cao Cheng and other generals were stunned. I never thought that such a thing would happen.
But I don't know if Liu Shengzhi escaped with others, or if there was any danger.
I didn't dare to send someone to find it. If the news spreads, the whole army will be in turmoil. In this way, the whole army will collapse.
Just when Cao Cheng and the others were in a hurry, Liu Shengzhi had already led his army to the city of Black Thorn.
Qian An looked at the Black Thorn City in the distance, in the early morning mist, and said with some worry: "I'm afraid it's difficult to take this city with us alone, right?"
The Black Thorn City is built on the mountainside, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Just by seeing the towering cliffs and the dangerous paths, you will know.
Such a fortified city, if you don't use cannons and other things. It was all besieged by a large army. I'm afraid that if you don't suffer tens of thousands of casualties, or even besiege the city until you run out of bullets and food, I'm afraid you won't be able to take this city at all.
With a small team of 500 people. It's impossible to take this city!
Fan Feng nodded. said: "Heads are naturally difficult to take!"
Now there is a large army of the Tokai Domain on the side, although it has been hesitant not to attack the city. But it also brought tremendous pressure to the top and bottom of Blackthorn City.
It can be seen that the city is quite well defended. It's not that lax.
However, Fan Feng had already been prepared. He didn't stop at the moment, took a small army, and went around to the back of the mountain.
On this way, the mountain is steep and very difficult to walk. Fortunately, Fan Feng's small army is quite elite.
The talents he fancies are indeed capable. Even these five hundred people are all together. But now, Fan Feng is leading the way, like an arm. On the contrary, it is more useful than the huge army of 50,000 people.
Fan Feng made a gesture to stop his men from advancing. There is a thin fog that makes it difficult to see too far.
"There is a garrison in front of them, and there are not many of them. About thirty ......"
In the distance in the fog, the sound of someone talking could be faintly heard. There are also those who sing mountain songs.
Qian Anxin said, it seems that this eldest prince is really not a whim. Instead, they were prepared for a long time, and they were clear about the terrain reconnaissance.
In my heart, I suddenly had a little more confidence in Fan Feng's plan. This took the initiative to speak and said: "These defenders are not strict in military discipline. I didn't think that someone would go around behind them......"
Fan Feng nodded, this place arranges a troop. Originally, it was just a precautionary attention.
It is not difficult to take out this small army, the key is not to let them pass on the warning. This is the problem, you have to kill all the enemy soldiers in the first time, and you can't give them any time to react.
At the moment, Fan Feng selected a few elite players from the team and led the team by himself. I touched it forward.
Sure enough, between the valleys ahead, several barracks were built. Early in the morning, I thought it was cooking on a fire, and it was very lively. There are even people giggling and laughing.
Fan Feng waved his hand and took the lead in rushing over. It's like a tiger out of the cage. Rushed straight out of the barracks.
The defenders hadn't reacted yet, how fast Fan Feng's speed was. Already before rushing to the bell tower.
Even better, the defenders did slacken. There was no one stationed on the bell tower.
In this way, the plan to capture Blackthorn City this time is half successful.
"Ah......" screams continued to sound in the mist.
"There is an enemy, call the police quickly...... someone shouted, and as soon as he spoke, he was pierced through the throat by a strong crossbow.
This is behind Blackthorn City, quite far away, and there are mountains blocking it. As long as you don't ring the alarm bell, you will shout in your throat, and Blackthorn City will not hear the slightest movement.
With the bell tower being taken, the masters who followed Fan Feng rushed in killed them all.
Half a moment later, Qian An also came with follow-up troops. Soon all the troops stationed here will be wiped out.
But he didn't leave anyone to guard it, and walked straight into the valley.
Fan Feng came out in person and reconnoitred the situation nearby. The terrain has already been explored very clearly.
After this valley, you can climb up the cliffs from there, and you can fight your way to the rear of Blackthorn.
This mountain cliff is more than ten zhang high and extremely steep. Therefore, Blackthorn City, just outside the valley, arranged for a small group of defenders to call the police.
If you want to climb such a cliff, you have to go up to an ape.
Fortunately, Fan Feng naturally had a way, and he personally climbed up first. His physique, physical coordination, and so on, are now many times higher than the best freehand climber in the world.
It was easy to climb up, and then the ropes were tied securely. And they began to climb up with men.
The other people don't have Fan Feng's ability, although they have ropes, but the cliff more than ten zhang high is not so easy to climb.
Halfway up the climb, a patrol came in.
Fan Feng held the hilt of the sword in his hand and was ready to make a move. However, the patrol did not approach at all, and went through the motions, without getting close to take a look.
It seems that the long-term security has made them forget what it means to be alert and dangerous.
After the first group of people came right away, they helped pull people. When the people below come up, it's much simpler.
When the group was almost all up, another patrol approached.
By this time, the fog had almost dissipated. More than a dozen people in this patrol were still talking and laughing, and they were all shot and killed by a burst of bows and crossbows.
The corpse was quickly thrown under the cliff.
Then, the team was led by Fan Feng. Entered the city, but did not delay at all along the way, and went straight to the city gate.
Blackthorn wasn't too big, with almost two thousand defenders.
Fan Feng led his subordinates, a surprise attack, and took the city gate very lightly. and scattered most of the defenders.
Originally, these defenders were just paying attention to the army of the Tokai Domain that might be coming from outside. Where would you have thought that the divine soldiers would descend from the sky and actually kill from the rear.
For a moment, they were all stunned, and they were shot by a burst of bows and crossbows. was personally led by Fan Feng again,
The more than 1,000 defenders were almost all scattered. Fan Feng led his soldiers and horses and chased them for a while, killing and injuring the enemy to the greatest extent.
There are not too many defenders in Blackthorn City, as long as they try to eliminate their forces at the beginning, so that they can't organize a follow-up offensive to retake the city gates, half of the city will be taken.
Originally, Fan Feng could naturally guard the city gate, and then notify Cao Cheng's brigade to come and seize the city.
It's just that Fan Feng is going to have a big one this time. personally led five hundred subordinates to take Black Thorn City, but the credit is much greater. (To be continued......)
