On the grassland ten miles outside Kaiyang City.
After Lao Shang came that night, Watson's wounds were mostly healed after a flash of golden light.
Coupled with the rest these days, it's almost better.
At the moment, he was holding his breath, just waiting for the Nanhai soldiers from Kaiyang City to send out troops again. He and Xiao Hei were going to wipe out each other on the vast grassland.
After Xiao Hei came back from the foot of Yin Mountain, he flew to Nanyun City and told Watson about Nalan Yu's decision.
The two of them are not in a hurry at the moment, because Watson has the identity card of a South China Sea soldier and a grassland soldier and can sneak into the three towns at any time.
As long as he entered the three towns, he would have a way to go to Nanyun City.
He is waiting for the last moment to come. He wants to stay here and prevent the guards from the three towns from going to Yelu Palace.
Xiao Hei, who was lying on the side with his eyes closed, thought for a while, looked at Watson and said, "I think it won't take long for this battle to end in front of Nanyun City."
Watson was stunned, looked at him and asked: "How is it possible? They have been preparing for more than ten years? How can they give up so easily!"
Xiao Hei shook his head and said: "In my opinion, as long as those four arrow towers fall down, this war will end."
Watson sighed: "It's better to finish it earlier. I want to go home and see my mother."
Xiao Hei was stunned, looked at him and laughed: "Little Watson, after fighting this war, I will go back to Tianshan to accompany my brother."
Watson nodded: "I also want to go to Tianshan to find my sister."
What gives him a headache is that there is not only his sister on Tianshan Mountain, but also Tantai Xiaoyu who claims to be his biggest creditor.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but take out a brocade bag, took out a yellowed handkerchief from it, gently took out a gold coin and touched it.
Bai Yun looked at the sky and murmured: "Uncle Master, when you were so poor that you only had ten copper coins left, someone suddenly gave you ten gold coins. Have you ever met such a person?"
Xiao Hei shook his head: "Except for the master and brother, no one would be so kind to Xiao Hei. Of course, there is also Xiao Bai, but you don't know him."
When Watson heard this, he smiled thoughtfully.
He said quietly: "Think about it. Apart from the old monk, she is the only one who is so kind to me. It seems that this creditor has to let her continue to work."
Xiao Hei looked at him and sighed: "When Xiao Hei was so hungry and had no food to eat, no one cared about me except my brother who was kind to Xiao Hei."
At this time, Xiao Hei suddenly remembered that he was chased by the killer sent by the Great Elder in the Shenlong Continent.
At that time, if he hadn't met his brother outside the inn, he would have been killed by those killers.
Thinking of this, he also wanted to end the affairs in southern Xinjiang as soon as possible and return to Tianshan.
Watson smiled bitterly and said: "Sure enough, the weakest thing in this world is favor, and the heaviest favor is also favor. It seems that I have to go to Tianshan to have a good chat with my godfather."
…
Outside Nanyun City, it was the tenth day since the construction of the archery tower began.
Countless cavalry appeared on the wasteland, with overwhelming flags fluttering in the wind. There was no one on the Nanyun Tower. When hundreds of thousands of cavalry suddenly appeared, it seemed so abrupt.
Dark clouds suddenly appeared in the sky over the wasteland, covering Nanyun City heavily.
Black clouds pressed down on the city, trying to destroy it, but it destroyed only the 200,000 soldiers in Nanyun City.
Amidst the earth-shattering roar of horses, the two hundred thousand troops marched directly from the depths of the wasteland behind the four huge arrow towers without any pause.
Arrange in front of Nanyun City.
The horn of attack had not yet sounded, and even at the top of Nanyun City, only a few heads were sparsely exposed.
It's obvious that I haven't recovered from the poisoning, and I don't have the strength to fight you.
In the tower, in addition to Princess Xia Ruoyu and Hua Luoyu who were accompanying Monk Minghui to make tea in the small courtyard, Nalan Ming also went to the front line.
Tang Chao, dressed in armor, looked at Nalan Yu and asked, "General, are we sure we can win this battle?"
Nalan Yu looked at him and replied quietly: "Until the last moment, who dares to say that we are sure of victory?"
Ouyang Dongli, who was sitting on the side, nodded when he heard this, looked at everyone and asked in a solemn voice: "You just need to be yourselves and shoot every iron arrow that is sure to hit, and leave the rest to the command of the general."
Even Ouyang Dongli knew that there could only be one voice in Nanyun City, and there could only be one general who commanded the army.
Even if his cultivation exceeds the limits of this side of heaven, he cannot intervene in the outcome of the war.
This was something the old monk had warned repeatedly, so naturally he didn't dare to be careless.
Nalan Ming looked at Ergou, Xiaolian, Wang Ruyi, Fusheng and others holding bows and arrows and asked, "Are you afraid?"
Wang Ruyi shook his head, pointed at Yelu Mingzhu who was standing not far away, staring at the battlefield, and said: "My sister Mingzhu is not afraid, so naturally Wang Ruyi will not be afraid."
In fact, her heart was beating loudly for a long time. Fortunately, Fusheng was there to cheer her up and hold her hand to give her strength.
However, Xiaolian became more courageous. She looked at Hu Ge and asked, "Master, where is Brother Watson now? Will he appear on the battlefield?"
Hu Ge shook his head and said quietly: "Watson is commanded by the old monk. I estimate that he will not appear in front of Nanyun City until the last moment."
In his mind, Watson is a dark horse who only appears at the most critical and important times.
At present, the army is fighting, and even Watson comes, so he doesn't make up for it.
On the grassland outside Three Towns.
Watson had already put away his tent, changed into the armor of a South China Sea soldier, and rode on his horse all the way to Kaiyang City.
Xiao Hei was watching quietly from a tree not far away. As soon as Watson entered the city, he would fly over to join him.
The city was guarded by several soldiers from the Lan family's court on the grassland. Seeing Watson alone, wearing the armor of the South China Sea Army, they did not dare not open the door.
When the heavy door opened, after a careful identity check.
Several guys asked in disbelief: "I went to the 2,000-strong army a few days ago, and you are the only one who came back?"
Watson sighed and said with a wry smile: "It's a miracle that I came back alive. I have to rush to Xichun City to report to General Wang..."
After everyone heard this, how could they dare to stop him? After all, this matter has to be decided by Wang Danian of Xichun City in the end. Two thousand people died, which is a huge thing.
So, everyone returned Watson's identity plate, sent out sympathetic greetings, and closed the heavy city gate.
A bolt of lightning flew over the city, and Xiao Hei wanted to go to the south gate exit to meet Watson.
It only took half an hour for the two of them to run from Kaiyang to Nanyun City.
Xiao Hei, who was lying on Watson's shoulder, thought for a while and said: "After we leave Baili, you first find a secluded place to hide. I will go to Nanyun City to ask the general about his arrangements."
Even Xiao Hei knew that the two of them were the only elite soldiers behind enemy lines, so they must not rush to Nanyun City impulsively at this time.
Watson smiled and said: "This matter naturally depends on Uncle Master's arrangement. We will hide in the middle of the road. It is best to catch them off guard."
Hundreds of miles away in front of Nanyun City.
The nearly 250,000-strong Nanhai army, after erecting four huge archery towers, finally arrived in front of Nanyun City with a force of black clouds overwhelming the city.
Amidst the roar of the dense army and the roar of the war horses, hundreds of thousands of troops were advancing forward like a tide with strong murderous intent.
This huge and terrifying momentum made the Southern Xinjiang soldiers on Nanyun City tremble for no reason.
Nalan Ming, who was guarding behind the huge battlements, did not hide his inner nervousness and looked silently at the enemy troops in front.
Holding an iron bow in his hand, he looked at Hu Ge beside him and asked, "Are you afraid?"
Hu Ge was startled when he heard this, and then smiled: "Every time I go to the battlefield, I am scared to death. Because I am afraid of death, I have to fight the enemy desperately."
Nalan Ming nodded, looked at Nalan Yu not far away and said, "That's right. My father said that you can only survive if you work hard."
On the other side was Hua Tianxia, who was accompanied by two daughters, Wang Ruyi and Xiao Lian. Looking at Wang Ruyi's gently trembling body, Hua Tianxia gently patted her shoulder.
He smiled and said, "Don't be afraid. You haven't seen our family of three standing here."
Xiaolian also comforted her and said: "Sister Ruyi, don't be afraid, I'm here."
Ergou next to him looked at his sister and frowned, and said, "My sister will hide behind me and don't show your head."
Only Yelu Mingzhu, wearing a silver armor, stood beside Nalan Yu, pointing forward and saying, "Uncle Nalan, they are coming."
Nalan Yu looked around and saw that the Nanhai soldiers had deployed four huge catapults on the four arrow towers.
It turned out that the other party actually wanted to bypass the magic circle of Mianyun City and bombard the city wall from the sky. This was really an insidious and most effective method.
Seeing this situation, Nalan Yu yelled: "General Ma Feihu, I order you to go under the tower and arrange for the soldiers below to evacuate."
"General Ma Tianyun, order all the shield formations to be moved onto the city wall to prevent the enemy from falling rocks and injuring the soldiers."
"Wang Tianhua, where are you!" Nalanyu yelled.
When Wang Tianhua, who was standing not far away, heard this, he immediately ran over and replied: "What are your orders, General?"
Looking at Wang Tianhua next to him, Nalanyu took a deep breath and asked, "How did you go about arranging your affairs yesterday?"
When Wang Tianhua heard this, he patted his chest heavily: "The general has issued a military order. If there is any mistake, please bring it up and see me!"
Nalan Yu looked at him and sighed, and said in a deep voice: "Whether we can defeat more than half of the enemy in one battle today depends on you and the soldiers of the Chonglu Camp."
Wang Tianhua naturally knew the importance of this battle, and immediately asked: "Do you want to start now?"
Nalan Yu looked at the trembling Tang Chao and smiled: "Don't be afraid, the good show always comes at the last moment. After all, you are still a great monk in the realm of overcoming calamity."
Tang Chao smiled bitterly and said: "I have never been to the front line before. I can't stop this. It will be better next time."
Nalan Yu nodded, looked at Wang Tianhua and said: "Order your heavy slave camp to light kerosene once they attack and aim at the catapults on the four arrow towers."
Wang Tianhua was stunned and blurted out: "What about that?"
"Wait for my last order!" Nalan Yu said coldly: "Where is the master of Yangcheng?"
Yang Kaiyi roared: "The final general is here!"
Nalan Yu nodded and said in a deep voice: "Order the army to cock their bows and arrows and prevent the enemy from approaching the moat. As long as we persist for a quarter of an hour, we will win!"
Yang Kaiyi was overjoyed when he heard this. He patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, General. Even if the army shoots all the arrows, it will never let the enemy cross the moat."
Inside the tower, Ouyang Dongli sighed leisurely, looked into the void and asked, "Senior, what do you think of this battle?"
The old monk's voice came from the void, and he said calmly: "It depends on God's will."
On the wasteland, the flags that kept ringing in the morning wind slowly advanced, and even the soldiers on the city wall heard the clanging sound of swords being unsheathed.
Yun Zhongchen looked at Shang Donglin beside him and asked: "Strategic advisor, General Yun Xuan, vanguard general Yun Lin, left general Murong Wudi, right general Wang Yijian are already in place?"
Shang Donglin looked at him and said solemnly: "The four generals have already boarded the arrow towers, determined to fight the enemy to the death!"
Hearing this, Yun Zhongchen nodded and replied: "Order the shield array to open the way, and the arrow tower to bombard the city wall! The whole army attacks!!"
