In this way, General Lu led tens of thousands of siege troops to storm Dal City.
While watching the battle, General Raymond was a little curious: "Why is Li Xiuwen in Dal City? If Dal City has been emptied, why let Li Xiuwen stay?"
Faced with Admiral Raymond's question, Xiang Mao couldn't answer it for a while.
"I haven't thought about this question clearly. What's the point of leaving Li Xiuwen alone? Is it just to lure us into attacking the city? To delay time?" Another five-star general was also curious.
"If you say Chen Ling's delay, it still makes sense. Chen Ling delayed us for more than a day. But Li Xiuwen stayed in Daler, and could only delay us for a few hours at most. This Li Xiuwen is Jiang Ze's sworn brother Ah, is it worth trading your brothers for a few hours?" General Raymond asked everyone.
"Could it be that, as General Lu said before, Jiang Ze must be a ruthless and unjust person?" another five-star general guessed.
"I don't know. I really don't understand Jiang Ze. If he is a heartless person, why would Chen Ling be willing to die for him." Xiang Mao's eyes were filled with anger.
"So, Chen Ling committed suicide?" General Raymond, who had always been curious about this matter, took the opportunity to ask again.
"Yes, she committed suicide by taking poison."
"Why did you commit suicide? What on earth did you go through in those five or six hours?"
"It's ironic, we actually didn't do anything. We just chatted, starting from the first day of the apocalypse, and we talked about everything. Before Chen Ling died, she told me what was in her heart. She said that she loved and hated the most in her life. That person is Jiang Ze. And it was Jiang Ze who gave Chen Ling the order to die." Xiang Mao gritted his teeth in anger.
"Didn't Jiang Ze's order ask Chen Ling to delay for one day? Didn't Chen Ling complete the task? Why did he commit suicide by taking poison?"
"I also want to know why, but Chen Ling just said that this was Jiang Ze's order."
"It's so strange. The mission has been completed, why is there such an order?"
"Chen Ling said that she only has one wish in her life, which is to bury Jiang Ze with her after Jiang Ze dies."
"Why do I get more and more confused the more I listen to it? Does Chen Ling also want Jiang Ze to die?"
"I don't know, I really can't figure it out, so when I get to Nuer City, I will ask Jiang Ze why he wanted Chen Ling to die. But no matter what, I will still kill Jiang Ze and kill them both. Buried together, after all, this was Chen Ling’s last wish.”
On the other side, the siege force of Xiang Mao's army was very powerful. In just three hours, many areas of the eastern wall of Dal City began to collapse. General Lu led the troops into the city first and took control of the city gates within five minutes. The Chu army rushed to the city wall and chopped down the flags of the Liejun army. Although the number of the fierce soldiers on the city wall was not large, they did not escape and were eventually killed one after another.
After the city was broken, Xiang Mao led only 10,000 people into Dal City. Because for him, he won't stay in Dalcheng for a long time, so there is no need for everyone to enter the city.
After Xiang Mao entered the city, he asked General Lu: "Where is Li Xiuwen?"
"They fled to the west, but I have sent a strong force to pursue them."
"As expected, it didn't go so well."
"Captain, don't worry. Before attacking the city, I have blocked all the city gates, especially the west city gate. Not even a fly can fly out."
"Stupid. If Li Xiuwen has no hope of escaping, he will definitely hide in Dal City. In this huge Dal City, even a blanket search will not be able to find Li Xiuwen in a short time."
After being reminded by Xiang Mao, General Lu suddenly realized: "I understand. We deliberately created a loophole to allow Li Xiuwen to slip out of the city and then intercepted him."
"Which defensive point is the most lax now?"
"The small gate at the south city gate is the loosest."
"Li Xiuwen is most likely to force a breakthrough to that position, and send the fast Gao Zhan on standby outside the city. If Li Xiuwen is found, he will intercept again."
"yes."
"Also, General Chen, you send people to the prison to rescue our compatriots."
"yes."
Afterwards, General Chen led hundreds of cavalry to the prison.
Unexpectedly, they were suddenly ambushed halfway. Groups of spearmen rushed out of the streets and alleys. The weapons in their hands were all special bayonet guns, specially designed to deal with cavalry. These hundreds of cavalrymen had almost no resistance, and they were immediately thrown into chaos, and most of them were knocked off their horses. Fortunately, some cavalry reacted quickly and found an opportunity to escape from the battlefield through the cover of their teammates.
Also escaping was General Chen, who led the remaining dozens of horses and ran eastward.
The war horses were extremely fast and quickly separated the distance.
General Chen thought he had escaped successfully, but was suddenly knocked off his horse by a force.
When the subordinates saw that their commander had been knocked down, they stopped one after another and planned to help.
But as soon as General Chen came together, he was suddenly knocked into the sky.
The scary thing is that the subordinates didn't see clearly what happened, they only saw General Chen crashing in the sky. You can see a figure flying around in the sky. It should be him attacking General Chen, but the speed is too fast and difficult to see with the naked eye.
An experienced squad leader shouted: "Super high speed, super high speed, retreat quickly, retreat quickly. If you don't retreat, you won't be able to escape."
After the squad leader spoke, the soldiers no longer cared about General Chen, and even used General Chen as a bait to delay time.
Five or six minutes later, these dozens of people escaped successfully and came to Xiang Mao and reported what they had just encountered.
"Are you sure it's super high speed?" Xiang Mao said in disbelief.
"It's super high speed. General Chen has no power to resist it," the squad leader replied.
"How could this happen? Is it Jiang Ze?"
Now not only Xiang Mao's mind is full of questions, but even the five-star general and General Lu are full of doubts.
"Among the martyrs, Jiang Ze is probably the only one who knows super high speed." General Lu asked the soldiers.
One of the five-star generals analyzed: "As far as we know so far, only Li Banggu, Lao Ao Lie, and Jiang Ze should have reached the super-high speed level. But will Lao Ao Lie and Li Banggu come here secretly? This is absolutely impossible, Zhao Yongheng It is not a fuel-efficient lamp. If Lao Ao Lie and Li Banggu are not in Su City, Zhao Yongheng will definitely seize the opportunity to leave the city. Moreover, the center of gravity of the main force of Lieguo has always been in Su City, which is far away from here. They will not come all the way. Something is happening here.”
"So, it must be Jiang Ze who attacked General Chen?"
"Nine times out of ten."
"But why is Jiang Ze here? Didn't he go to attack Nuer City?" General Lu asked, puzzled.
At this time, another young general came on horseback. He reported to the leaders: "There was a commotion in the square on the north side. We sent people to check and found traces of some people, but they ran very fast. Then we It was discovered that there were a lot of explosives buried underground in the square. If we hadn't discovered it early, they might have sneaked up on us."
"Isn't Dalcheng an empty city at all? Is Jiang Ze's main force in Dalcheng?" General Lu asked suspiciously.
"So Jiang Ze's attack on Nuer City with great fanfare was just for show?" Xiang Mao was still confused.
"However, according to the report of the Signal Corps, only the Flying Tiger Regiment led by Luo Erhu was attacking Nuer City. As for Jiang Ze's regiment, they established a temporary stronghold five kilometers away from Nuer City, but they did not take any action." A five-star general said.
"Indeed, our scouts only saw Jiang Ze's flag, but they did not see Jiang Ze himself or his main army. Maybe the people in the temporary stronghold were only civilians." Another general said.
"Hey Jiang Ze, do you want to play hide and seek with me?" Xiang Mao said a little annoyed.
"If Jiang Ze and his main army are in Dalcheng, what is their purpose?" Another general asked confused.
"The purpose is the same as Chen Ling's, which is to delay our time." Xiang Mao replied.
"Indeed, relying on Chen Ling alone, the delay time is very limited. However, if Jiang Ze himself and the main force, the delay time will be longer." General Lu said.
"The question is, should we fight Jiang Ze here." The five-star general looked at Xiang Mao.
There were two paths before Xiang Mao.
One is to give up rescuing our compatriots, and now leave the city immediately, join the army outside the city, and then ignore Dal City and rush to Nuer City. In this way, not only can Nuer City be rescued in time, but the Flying Tigers can also be eliminated. By the way, Jiang Ze's temporary stronghold can also be taken away and the civilians inside can be rescued.
The other way is to concentrate the maximum force and eliminate Jiang Ze and Jiang Ze's main force first. But the risk is that if the delay is too long, the Flying Tigers may capture Nuer City.
The soldiers discussed it a lot, and some people thought that Nuer City should be the foundation. Some people believe that eliminating Jiang Ze's main force can solve the problem once and for all.
Xiang Mao thought for several minutes and finally decided to eliminate Jiang Ze first.
"General Lu, you immediately notify General Lei Meng outside the city and ask him to bring all the troops into Dal City. We are going to turn Dal City upside down and bring Jiang Ze out for me." Xiang Mao gritted his teeth.
"yes."
Ten minutes later, all of Xiang Mao's 100,000 troops entered the city and officially began their carpet advance.
The army advanced very smoothly. There were only a few ambush positions, but they were all eliminated by the Chu army.
As the army continued to approach the central prison, Xiang Mao and several other generals felt more and more strange.
"Why are there so few ambushes?"
"Yeah, that's too little."
"Does the Liejun want to engage in guerrilla warfare?"
"Don't take it lightly, an ambush may appear at any time."
"Why do I always feel like this city is empty?"
The soldiers were becoming more and more uneasy, and their doubts were growing.
Xiang Mao was also a little anxious. He asked the cavalry squad leader again: "Where are the people? Where are the spearmen who attacked you? And where is the super speed? Where are they?"
"I also know why they disappeared, but there must be enemies in this city." The cavalryman said at a loss.
Xiang Mao was so angry that he flew high into the sky, emitted sound waves, and shouted: "Jiang Ze, come out here, come out here."
Xiang Mao's shouting did not call Jiang Ze, but called an extremely short-looking man.
This person slowly flew towards Xiang Mao, with a strange smile on his face.
Xiang Mao looked at the other person. He was wearing sunglasses, a bowler hat, and a weapon that looked like steel claws.
Although the other party was short in stature, Xiang Mao did not dare to look down on him, so he asked tentatively: "Who is coming?"
"Cai Bajian!"
