Chapter 579: Stone Pillar Siege
In Loulan City, Wu Li told the young man in gold armor about the battle situation in the past few days in general detail. After Zhang Yanshi learned about the situation, he fell into deep thought.
At this time, Wu Li, whose clothes were stained with blood, sighed and said:
"Since the Holy War Hall has sent Brother Zhang here, you should be the head coach."
Unexpectedly, Zhang Yanshi rejected her directly.
"This is not possible. Changing generals before a battle is a taboo for military strategists. General Wu should not lose his spirit because of a temporary setback."
After hearing this, Wu Li hesitated to speak, and finally just sighed, and then left to heal his wounds.
"The situation is still not optimistic."
Although Qi Chengcheng was proficient in the ways of merchants, he didn't know much about war. He could see that the other party's face was solemn, but it was not clear how far they were from the Demon Sect.
"Brother Zhang, how long can our troops hold on?"
Zhang Yanshi also saw the condition of the soldiers in the military tent before he came. To be honest, they were very tired from many days of fighting. Even if he added his 800 cavalry, they would still be...
"Three days. If the Demon Sect doesn't send experts to fight, it can still last three days."
Qi Chengcheng's heart skipped a beat. Based on the source of his news, he naturally knew who was advocating the attack on Loulan City this time. He sat down on the ground and sat there blankly as if he had lost his mind.
Upon seeing this, the young man in golden armor stepped forward and poked him, asking:
"Chengcheng, do you know something inside?"
"The opponent this time is Qianyuan, the demon sect's son. Although I don't know what the opponent's purpose is in attacking Loulan City, I suspect that the opponent is here for the golden statue of Confucianism."
"The golden body of a Confucian statue?"
"If there is anything in Loulan City that can attract them, it is probably this."
Qi Chengcheng felt a little emotional when he mentioned the golden body of the Confucian statue. After parting with Yi Xifeng that time, he heard that Yi Xifeng was controlled by Han Sanli. Since then, there has been no news, even whether he is alive or dead. have no idea.
Zhang Yanyan also knew about this, but at that time he was concentrating on practicing in the Holy War Hall. When he knew about this, it was already two months later. Although everyone came from the same village, he admired each other very much. His courage is as if that guy has been very courageous since he was a child.
"Is there still no news about Yi Xifeng?"
Qi Chengcheng shook his head. In the past six months, the other party seemed to have disappeared, and no clues could be found. The reason why he stayed here was not only to develop the Qi family caravan, but also to inquire about Yi Xifeng.
Zhang Yanshi sighed when he saw this. He suddenly wanted to drink. Unfortunately, the enemy was facing him, so he was afraid that drinking would cause trouble.
…………
Outside Loulan City, Mozi Qianyuan was observing a huge stone pillar. The stone pillar was all ivory white, three feet long and one foot wide. It was carved with various strange runes. Not far away from the stone pillar, there were other demons. Everyone was carrying the stone pillars, but the runes on the other stone pillars were different.
At this moment, a masked man in black clothes walked up to him and said to him:
"Lord Demon Son, the construction of the remaining twenty-three stone pillars has been completed."
Qianyuan nodded and ordered:
"Surround Loulan City tonight. Remember, no one can escape. In addition, notify all armies to launch a general attack tomorrow."
"Yes." Immediately afterwards, the masked man in black left the place.
…………
After crossing the border of the Demon Kingdom, Yi Xifeng and the two walked to a hill. Looking from a distance, they saw hundreds of tents stationed three kilometers outside Loulan City.
"That must be Qianyuan's army."
"Brother Xifeng, how are we going to fight?"
At this time, the fair young man shook his head and replied:
"There's one thing we haven't figured out yet. Why did Qianyuan risk a war with the Jihad Hall to attack Loulan City?"
Li Xintian thought for a while and then said: "Is it because of the golden body of the Confucian statue?"
Yi Xifeng shook his head again and explained:
"Probably not. The golden body of the Confucian statue can only be used by Confucian disciples. Even if the demon sect robs it, it can only be used as a decoration. There is no need to offend the Holy War Hall."
Li Xintian nodded, and then asked: "Yeah, what is their purpose?"
The fair young man raised his hand and pointed around Loulan City and said:
"I'm afraid it has something to do with those strange stone pillars."
The fair-skinned woman looked sideways along her fingers and saw a group of demon sect disciples carrying stone pillars. After staying in the sect for such a long time, she naturally knew some of the secrets of this neighbor of the demon kingdom.
She looked at the stone pillars and tried to recall those scattered memories in her mind, but unfortunately she couldn't remember them as she never liked reading.
"Brother Xifeng, I seem to have seen this method of the Demon Cult in books, but now..."
Li Xintian was embarrassed to say that she had forgotten. She found that as long as she stayed by the other person's side, her brain would become dull and she would not like to think. She always subconsciously felt that as long as Brother Xifeng was by her side, she would not have to worry about anything. Any trouble. Thinking about it, it seems that I am too dependent on the other person.
Yi Xifeng didn't care, he replied:
"It's not a big problem. Later, when the night is over, we can capture the two little leaders of the Demon Cult and ask them."
…
In Loulan City, the tired soldiers on the city wall were feebly patrolling the city. As patrollers, they all had excellent eyesight. From a distance, they could see some people carrying stone pillars. Although he did not understand the mystery, as a patroller, He still reported everything to Wu Li, the general who defended the city.
Although Wu Li was well-informed, she had indeed never heard of this battle. After that, she went back to talk to Qi Chengcheng and Zhang Yanshi about the situation outside the city wall.
Qi Chengcheng scratched his head, turned to the young man in golden armor and asked: "Brother Zhang, you have been hanging out in the Holy War Hall for so many years, do you know what Qianyuan is going to do?"
Zhang Yanshi shook his head decisively. He had been in seclusion for the past few years, and he had almost no contact with files related to the Demon Cult.
Several people looked at each other, confused and silent.
After a while, Qi Chengcheng took the lead and said:
"Do you want me to send someone to find out?"
At this moment, the soldiers stationed on the city wall ran in in a panic. As soon as they entered the door, they knelt on the ground.
"Something bad has happened. Sirs, our Loulan City is surrounded by demon sects from all directions!"
The three of them were shocked and hurriedly left the attic and ran to the city wall to observe.
I saw countless armies emerging outside the city wall at some point, surrounding the entire city.
Many soldiers were so frightened that their faces turned pale and their whole bodies were shaking.
"What should I do? What should I do? I'm still young, I don't want to die, I don't want to die."
When one person spoke, everyone else started to panic. Wu Li climbed onto the wall and shouted:
"Quiet! Anyone who dares to disturb the morale of the army will be killed without mercy!"
