Yun Chen did not celebrate after taking Yaocheng. The first thing he did was to strengthen Yaocheng's city defense. After Liang Guo turned away from Da Wu, he only had four cities. Now that he lost one city, he had to defend it.
As for the danger of Yaocheng in Zecheng, Yun Chen decided that only five firepower towers would be erected in the north of the city, one on the east and west, and all the firepower towers cast in the future would be supplied to Yaocheng.
However, today's Zecheng no longer needs too many intermediate spiritual power casters, leaving only two and some low-level spiritual power casters. The purpose is also to prevent the Kingdom of Beasts.
The army in Dacheng received Ye Zhifan's request for help and immediately sent an army to kill Yaocheng. On the way, they met Ye Zhifan who fell from the sky.
"General Ye doesn't know how the battle in Yaocheng is going."
"There's no need to go. Yaocheng has been lost and the whole army has been wiped out. With the manpower you have now, you are just going to die. Immediately ask for help from Liangcheng and send a large army. You can't risk reaching Liangcheng if you lose it." Even though Ye Zhifan said so, But he also hated Yun Chen deeply. The army he had finally built was completely destroyed in Yun Chen's hands.
If that's the case, then use his army of wild cavalry to attack Yaocheng to see who wins.
Although his thoughts were vicious, Ye Qiancheng in the Liangcheng Palace, although he regarded himself as a minister, had always controlled all the powers. It was not an exaggeration to say that he was the regent.
He was wily and scheming. Seeing that his son and second brother had never returned, and knowing that Liang's territory was too small, he secretly sent out the Wild Iron Cavalry a few days ago.
Since Gongsun Peng wanted to use the army of the Eight Southern Cities to fight against his army of the Liang Kingdom, he came up with a plan to drain the firepower from under the cauldron and completely sink Wu into an encirclement.
Sun Peng, the king of Wu, had just received a report that three cities in the eight southern cities had been captured by an unknown force. He was so angry that he immediately smashed the glass cup and became furious.
What to do now, there are only five cities left in the entire Wu Dynasty, and half of the troops in each city are gathered in the imperial city. This kind of thing can never happen again, and he has to issue a royal edict to recruit troops.
At the same time, an order was sent to Lord Wen Chao to enter the palace. After entering the palace, Lord Wen Chao learned about this and advised Gongsun Peng that he could recruit troops in every city in Dawu.
First, transfer some troops to each of the cities, and use a large army to suppress Liang's army in the three southern cities to cut off all news from Liang. Let them know that stealing chickens will only cost a handful of rice. This will be more conducive to spreading Liang's troops. of military strength.
After the second prince Gongsun Xiao received the news, his face was very ugly. This Liang State is really cunning. If this is the case, then there will be no return for them.
Although the two are not together, they basically have the same ideas.
Ye Qiancheng was very happy when he heard the news, but at the same time he also received news that Yaocheng had been lost. Compared with the cities between Liang and Dawu, he now had six cities.
Dawu still has eight, and there is still a gap between the two. Basically, they are in an awkward situation, surrounded by each other and scattered.
As the current eldest prince of Da Wu, he really has nothing to accomplish. He just has the status of a prince, but he has secretly trained some forces.
After Wen Chaojun left the palace, he secretly came to the eldest prince's residence, which surprised the eldest prince. He actually appeared in his residence as the master of the Xuanjia South Sect.
"I've met the Imperial Master."
Wen Chaojun said with the courtesy of a courtier: "The eldest prince looks very surprised, but the purpose of my coming here this time is very simple. That is because the young master of our sect is very optimistic about you. Although I also know that the eldest prince has trained some people privately, This is also the time for you to make a difference."
"I don't know what I should do, Master." The eldest prince Gongsun Ce was very humble. That was because he knew that although he was the eldest prince, he only had one identity and was the most powerless prince among the three brothers.
Now that such a good thing has happened, he is not happy. Historically, every prince of Wu who ascended the throne has the shadow of the young master of Xuanjia Nanzong beside him, which means that he is expected to become the king of Wu.
"If I ask you to go to Nanba City, it is the second prince's territory. If you go there, you will only risk your death. If you want to become the king of Wu in the future, your only plan for now is to go to Yaocheng. Can you succeed in everything? It depends on your luck." After Wen Chaojun finished speaking, he handed a letter to Gongsun Ce.
Gongsun Ce saw Yun Chen personally and now finally knew why he was asked to go to Yaocheng. It was all because the general was in Yaocheng.
Gongsun Ce was in a good mood and said: "Please rest assured, Sir, I will rush to Yaocheng even if it is very dangerous, but I have to ask my father's permission for this."
"No, it won't be too late. The eldest prince is preparing to leave immediately. I will take care of the rest for you." Although Wen Chaojun did not say it clearly, he seemed to have a deeper meaning.
The eldest prince seemed to have heard something unintentional, and he immediately turned around and left his mansion without saying anything. Shortly after he left, Gao Yu showed up at the eldest prince's mansion with the king's order, but met him. Wen Chaojun of Xuanjia Nanzong.
"Mr. Gao, you are late. The eldest prince heard that there is a military emergency in Yaocheng. He feels that as the eldest prince, he has been doing nothing. It is time to share the burden for his father. He is too busy to ask his father for instructions. It is his duty to Go to the frontline battlefield alone."
Gao Yu was really anxious now. What should he do now? The king had repeatedly warned before issuing the decree that the decree must be delivered to the eldest prince himself.
"If you come to the Sa family, you must catch up with the eldest prince and never let him leave the imperial city."
Wen Chaojun could only shake his head at this. The king had already left the imperial city at this moment. He came to let the prince leave. He also knew that the king would send the prince to Yicheng to lead troops to attack Liang Jun in Kecheng.
If the eldest prince really went to Yicheng, it would be the second prince's territory after all. If he went there alive, he might not come back alive.
Gongsun Peng had no choice but to send the second prince Gongsun Xiao to lead troops to Yicheng, and said in front of all the ministers that if the second prince could capture the three cities of Ke, Pan and Fan, he would be granted the title of Ce when he returned to the imperial city. During the reign of the Crown Prince.
After Yaocheng was captured by Yun Chen, he made Ling Yan the leader of Yaocheng and ordered the army to be stationed at the junction of Yaocheng and Dacheng, allowing Ling Yan to conduct extensive recruitment training in Yaocheng.
Yun Chen just asked the army to be stationed and did not explain anything. Just practicing with Li Siling in the Chinese military tent, everything went very smoothly, and Li Siling stopped just before he was on the verge of upgrading to become Lingwu Emperor.
The two of them were walking in the military camp, watching the stars twinkling in the sky, but at this moment, large meteors streaked across the sky, making the sky as bright as a river of stars.
"Yun Chen, have you ever heard that every time a meteor streaks across the sky, it means that thousands of people have died in the distance, and a meteor represents a person's soul." Li Siling held her hands on her head, wishing these The soul can rest in peace.
"I don't know if it is, but I know that Xuanwu Continent cannot continue to be in such chaos. War will make some people stronger, but those who died are also living lives. The growth and strength of human beings should not be In this way, we must unite and grow together." Yun Chen has already begun to have a plan in his heart. Since no one can unite Xuanwu Continent, he should stand up and restore a peaceful world to Xuanwu Continent.
After Li Siling put down his hands, he asked Yun Chen what he should do next. If he wanted to win, casualties would be inevitable.
Yun Chen also knew what Li Siling said, but if he wanted peace in the world, there was no other way to sacrifice. He could only do his best to reduce casualties.
"I always feel a little frightened tonight, and I don't know why." Li Siling couldn't suppress the feeling of panic no matter what.
"This is not the result you always wanted. That's because your heavenly tribulation is coming. Only by surviving the heavenly tribulation can you master your skills. However, it's best to refine it more. You won't have to wait until after the war to survive the heavenly tribulation. Too late." Yun Chen also hoped that Li Siling would save the catastrophe until the siege, which would also reduce the casualties of his army.
But Li Siling had some objections. The army in Da Nei were also human beings, and they could not be wiped out because of their own calamity. That would also go against the purpose of her Nuwa clan.
Yun Chen was also troubled by Li Siling's thoughts: "Killing the enemy troops is because of their betrayal. Killing them is just to save more people, who will not die in their hands."
But no matter what Yun Chen said, Li Siling just didn't want to do this. When there was no other way, he could only think of another way.
When the army is fighting, they can avoid the big battle to overcome the heavenly tribulation, and tell the army in the city that as long as they surrender, they can avoid a disaster from heaven.
Now Li Siling had no choice but to agree. The plan proposed by Yun Chen would only wait for the army to attack Dacheng tomorrow.
However, Yun Chen smiled helplessly. Once the two armies really fought, the casualties would be fatal and no one could change the outcome.
That night Yunchen began to organize the surrendered army from Yaocheng into a large military branch. The 200,000-strong army seemed to be something that could not be underestimated.
Organizing a military branch alone is to prevent them from betraying again. If they really dare to betray, they can only let Li Siling personally take action and annihilate them all one by one.
With the current situation of the two cities of Zeyao, there is no room for any mistakes. If something happens, the city of Yaoyao that was finally conquered will have to be surrendered, and even Zecheng may not be protected.
Dacheng was originally the acropolis of Liang State, and its army number was three times that of other cities. However, since Yaocheng was captured, Liang Jun once again mobilized an additional 600,000 troops from Liang City.
Coupled with the new soldiers recruited in the city, the army in the city now reaches one million.
Ye Zhifan had millions of troops at his disposal, and he was full of confidence this time, and he also began to give up the battle to defend the city.
That's because he knew that Yun Chen had fire chariots and the defense of the city would only become more passive, causing all the armies to become fearful of battle. It would only be counterproductive at that time. It would be a shame if the million-strong army were defeated.
