Outside Sanyang City, in the rebel camp, in the Chinese army commander's tent, Guo Chang's face was as sinking as water.
I thought that with the jade talisman given by the master, I could easily conquer Sanyang County. I heard that several other senior brothers were able to conquer the city so easily. Why didn't it work on my side?
Originally, if he could win this battle, his prestige in the army would reach its peak and no one could shake it.
But if the battle fails, what should we do next?
Continue to fight?
Today the rebels were unable to win even if their morale was at its strongest, and I'm afraid it will be even harder next time.
"Well, if I had known this, I should have listened to Lu Dutong. At first, those officers and soldiers were afraid, but we surrounded the city on all sides and cut off their retreat. They had no place to escape, so they naturally had to fight us desperately."
"Yes, especially when the guards and servants of the wealthy families came up later. We only had a few long ladders. Although there were many people, those long ladders could only go up to the city. No matter how many people there were, what was the use? ?”
"As long as they hold on to these ladders, our people will not be able to go up. This battle is really..." He glanced at Guo Chang carefully and did not continue.
Guo Chang's face turned darker.
Although he didn't say it explicitly, these words were clearly what Lu Xuan said yesterday. Didn't he mean that he didn't listen to Lu Xuan, which led to this defeat?
He glanced at Lu Xuan. Although he was very reluctant, he had to say that Lu Xuan was indeed quite cunning in fighting, and now he could only look at him.
But at this moment, Lu Xuan did not sit at the bottom of him, but sat at the very end, his eyes half-open, as if he was about to fall asleep.
Everyone refuted Lu Xuan once during the discussion. Lu Xuan rarely took the initiative to ask for a fight during the siege, but Guo Chang was worried that he would take the opportunity to make another achievement and dismiss it. Now he was asked to ask Lu Xuan how to break the city, and he couldn't lose face.
But if the city cannot be broken, let alone the military power and so on, the food and grass in the army alone will be a headache for him. Once the food and grass are cut off, a mutiny will probably occur immediately.
Guo Chang decided to put aside his grievances with Lu Xuan for the time being, but it was a bit uncomfortable to ask directly. He turned his attention to Luo Juan, the only woman among the twelve capitals.
Luo Juan understood, stood up with her short and fat body, slapped the table and said: "Noisy, noisy, what's the use of complaining now? Now I should think about how to break the city. The Heavenly Master will help me with the green energy that protects the city." If we can't break the city, I don't think there's any need to fight this battle. I'll just wait and kill myself under the city."
"No more complaints. This Sanyang City has no green energy to protect the city. It is the best time to destroy the city. Do you have any strategies to destroy the city?" Guo Chang took over the words and looked away from Lu Xuan. He stayed on his body and slowly swept across the crowd.
Everyone couldn't help but look at Lu Xuan.
The people present are all reckless heroes. It's okay to let them kill people with knives, but when it comes to such brain-intensive things, it's not their strong point.
Lu Xuan didn't speak, just stared at everyone quietly.
After a while, Luo Juan couldn't bear it anymore and asked: "Brother Lu, you have the most ideas here. How can we break the city? You can give me some ideas."
"I can't do anything unless I don't want to." Lu Xuan raised his eyes and said: "Now that the army and civilians are united in the city, our army lacks siege equipment. The attack is like today, which is a waste of troops. If we have enough time, we can still If we can cut off water and food, and trap Sanyang City to death, it will take him a year and a half, and the city will be broken, but now, I am afraid that we will be the first to be exhausted."
After speaking, Lu Xuan glanced at Guo Chang.
He didn't say anything like you don't listen to me, and you should be defeated like this. In addition to relieving your anger, the only thing that can be done is to tear down the steps on both sides.
He had thought about a way to destroy the city, but he wasn't sure if it would be useful, and even if it was, he couldn't bring it out now.
Providing advice was a duty before, but now...it has to be beneficial.
Everyone's heart sank when they heard this. Now they are all leaders of the army. It's hard to say how good other troops are, but everyone has a consensus on the importance of food and grass. Unlike the imperial court, the rebel army has no food and grass accumulation. Although the food and grass generals do not know the specific amount, it is estimated that it will not take long.
Comparing consumption with Sanyang City?
It’s just overthinking.
"Is there no other way to break the city? Although the green energy protecting the city was broken today, Master said that the green energy protecting the city will continue to recover as the people's morale stabilizes. We don't have much time to wait." Guo Chang frowned. Lu Xuandao.
"I'm sorry for my incompetence." Lu Xuan rolled his eyes in his heart. This is something you should consider. Why did you go there so early? Now you are talking empty-handed and want me to sacrifice my life?
"Commander Commander, why not recruit all the other ministries? Maybe there will be a chance of improvement!" A Dutong said suddenly.
Guo Chang is the commander-in-chief of Yunzhou. He has thirty-six commanders under his command. Except for the twelve of them, the others are scattered in other counties and counties in Yunzhou to start uprisings. However, Guo Chang places the first key target of attack on San. It was only in Yang County that all twelve of them gathered here.
Hearing this, Yang Chong sneered: "Are you calling everyone here to drink from the northwest wind? There was not enough food and grass in the first place, but now you have invited everyone here, will you support them?"
"Young man named Yang, what are you talking about?" Upon hearing this, Na Dutong stood up and slapped the table and said angrily.
"Want to fight?" Not to be outdone, Yang Chong stood up and looked at the opponent fiercely.
"That's enough!" Guo Chang slammed the table angrily and yelled: "What time has it been? Are you still making noise here? Sit down!"
After hearing this, the capital commander sat down gloomily. Yang Chong sneered disdainfully and sat down too.
Looking at the governors who were as dull as gourds, Guo Chang felt a headache. He glanced at the old god Lu Xuan, and after a moment of silence, Guo Chang waved his hands and said: "You are all tired after a day of attacking today. Let’s go and rest, we will continue to attack the city tomorrow.”
Still attacking?
Everyone was very dissatisfied when they heard this. As it is now, attacking tomorrow will only be a waste of troops. Didn't Lu Xuan say that?
But looking at Guo Chang's ugly face, everyone was so interested that they didn't say anything and stood up to leave one after another.
"Brother Lu Xian, please stay here for a moment. I have something to tell you." Guo Chang said to Lu Xuanda, who was about to get up.
"Me?" Lu Xuan turned to look at Guo Chang, a little surprised.
The last time Guo Chang called him Xiandi was when he had just become Dutong. Later, as his prestige increased, Guo Chang's title became Lu Dutong.
"Yeah." Guo Chang nodded.
Yang Chong also stopped, frowned and looked at Guo Chang: "Commander Commander, what's the point of leaving Brother Lu alone?"
The discord between Lu Xuan and Guo Chang was almost an open secret in the rebel army. He was worried that Guo Chang would be detrimental to Lu Xuan.
"If you have something to say, get out!" Guo Chang was already in a bad mood. Seeing Yang Chong's appearance, he clearly didn't take him seriously. He was even more irritated and his voice couldn't help but become louder.
"It's okay, let's go out first." Lu Xuan waved his hand. Guo Chang obviously wanted to ask him for a way to break the city. How could he attack him at this time? He has been in a high position for a long time, and even a pig can figure out some tricks. On balance, Guo Chang's problem lies in his petty nature, not his stupidity.
"Farewell!" Yang Chong nodded upon hearing this, clasped his fists in salute, and strode away.
Lu Xuan just said a word and left without listening to what he said. Even if he asked Lu Xuan for help now, Guo Chang's face didn't look good.
"The commander-in-chief kept me here to destroy the city?" Lu Xuan was used to Guo Chang's dark face. If one day he looked kind to him, it would make Lu Xuan feel awkward.
"You should know that there is not much food and grass in the granary. If we don't take Sanyang County, we will not end well." Guo Chang nodded and said: "At this time, you and I should work together."
"Today under the city, when the general calls for battle, it is the last and best chance to break the city." Lu Xuan sighed.
"As you said, how about surrounding three buildings?" Guo Chang looked at Lu Xuan and asked.
"Difficult." Lu Xuan shook his head.
"Why?" Guo Chang was puzzled. Isn't it the same strategy? Why is it useless even one day late?
"If we use it today, the officials, gentry, and soldiers in the city will see that there is a way to retreat. They will not know the strength of our army. They only know that our army is huge and they will probably escape. Even if they don't escape, they will not be able to defend the city as hard as they did during the day." , all have selfish motives, and no one wants to risk their lives when there is a way out."
"But in today's battle, the commander-in-chief also saw that their timidity was gone. They found that even if they didn't escape, there was nothing we could do about them. Why did we abandon most of our family's property and flee? This mentality changed, and the result was natural It’s different.”
Lu Xuan looked at Guo Chang and said with a smile: "The Commander-in-Chief had better make plans in advance. It is better to withdraw the troops."
Guo Chang heard this and said flatly: "No."
He only has one of the jade talismans that can break the green energy protecting the city. If he can't break it this time, he may not be able to break the city again.
At this moment, Guo Chang felt a little regretful for not listening to Lu Xuan's words, but now that the matter was over, he just wanted to break the city as soon as possible. He hesitated, looked at Lu Xuan and said seriously: "Brother Lu Xian, as long as you can help me break the city, after the city is broken, I will Help you step into heaven!"
"Xiantian?" A smile appeared at the corner of Lu Xuan's mouth, and his smile was a bit sarcastic: "If I remember correctly, the commander-in-chief said similar words during the last attack on Liujia Town."
Who was he talking about first breaking through Liujia Town, and who would he help to become innate? Lu Xuan risked his life in that battle and was the first to enter Liujia Town. However, the promise Guo Chang made has not been fulfilled to this day.
"You dare to dethrone the official for personal reasons!?" Guo Chang looked at Lu Xuan with a fierce look in his eyes.
Lu Xuan straightened his body, his body full of evil aura, he met Guo Chang's eyes and said: "General, I have offered advice twice before, both of which were to break the city. If the commander-in-chief listens to my words, he will not be in the current predicament. You will ask yourself if you have done your duty, what does it mean to abandon public service for private reasons?"
Although he has not yet entered the innate world, he is nourished by body tempering pills every now and then, and his strength is far beyond that of ordinary acquired warriors. If Guo Chang wants to use force to suppress him by relying on his higher cultivation than him, then he would like to try this innate talent. It’s not necessarily better than the day after tomorrow!
Guo Chang and Lu Xuan looked at each other for a long time, and finally the fierce glare subsided. Although Lu Xuan had not moved his hands, Lu Xuan was born with supernatural power. He could smash the gate of a small town with one punch. This was something he asked himself as he had already entered the innate state. If he can't do it, if he really takes action, it's fine if he wins. If he loses, then he, the commander-in-chief, will lose his face.
This is also the reason why Guo Chang has been unwilling to fulfill his promise. The day after tomorrow is already so terrible. If Lu Xuan really breaks through to the innate realm, what can he do to suppress him?
"You don't understand. It's not that easy to enter the Xiantian. It doesn't just require the cultivation method. It also requires the help of the Xiantian Warrior to find the Heavenly Gate. The location of the Heavenly Gate is different for everyone. Without the protection of the Xiantian strongman, there is no way to break through. But here is quite a lot. It's a waste of energy, now that our rebel army is in the stage of revolt, where can we get so much energy and time?" Guo Chang sighed.
"You don't need the help of the commander-in-chief, how about you just give the general the skills, and the general will help the commander-in-chief break the city?" Lu Xuan looked at Guo Chang with burning eyes. The energy in his body was already overflowing, and he felt like venting every day. It felt like he just couldn't find the way. What he needed now was someone to show him a way and what to do next.
"Do you have a way to break the city?" Guo Chang's eyes lit up and he looked at Lu Xuandao.
"I can't guarantee it, but I'm willing to give it a try." Lu Xuan nodded.
"Okay, as long as you can help me break the city, after breaking the city, I will give you all the Guiyuan Jue and help you break through." Guo Chang said with great joy.
Get addicted to pie painting!
Lu Xuan was speechless: "The general needs the technique now."
"Do you know that among the millions of acquired warriors, not one of them may be able to break through on their own!" Guo Chang frowned and looked at Lu Xuan. He didn't want to give it. If Lu Xuan really broke through on his own, Guo Chang would feel even more uncomfortable.
"This is what the general deserves!" Lu Xuan took a deep breath to stop himself from being angry.
This is just a matter of saying that I can't trust you anymore, which is tantamount to breaking your face.
If possible, Lu Xuan really didn't want to get into such a quarrel with Guo Chang, but there was no way. Guo Chang had an unruly character who only took money and did nothing.
It was not easy to fall out before, but now that the other party wants something from him, Lu Xuan naturally has to get what he deserves first.
As for the broken city, as Guo Chang said, if Sanyang is not broken, life for these people will not be easy.
After hesitating for a moment, Guo Chang nodded, took out a booklet from his arms and handed it to Lu Xuandao: "You look at it first. After the city is broken, I will help you break through."
"Farewell." Lu Xuan took the book. He was not afraid of it being false. We haven't attacked the city yet. If it was false, it could be changed at any time.
"Wait!" Guo Chang stopped Lu Xuando and said, "How are you going to break the city tomorrow?"
"Command the army at the end of tomorrow." Lu Xuan did not explain. Now this city can no longer be broken by conspiracy. He is not really sure, but he thinks he can give it a try.
"Hmph!" Seeing Lu Xuan leave, Guo Chang snorted coldly. Lu Xuan really had a way to break the city, but he took the opportunity to threaten himself. He really looked down on himself less and less!
