"Siege the city!"
After the water ghosts risked their lives and built the pontoon bridge, the Dongling army's siege formation suddenly became full of fighting spirit.
"Kill whoever gets there first, the benevolent king will reward you with a thousand gold coins and make you a general!" One by one, the Dongling generals led the phalanx of their headquarters, constantly boosting morale.
On the gate of Liancheng, Wu Ren gritted his teeth. His master was not wrong. With a stupid move, the Dongling army discovered the reality in the city.
"Too much is too little, damn it. You should have stolen the camp a long time ago."
"Quickly, push up all the supplies needed to defend the city!"
On the city wall, the Dongling army stationed on the city wall followed the command and continuously dropped the catapults and dense flying arrows in the city into the square formation outside the city.
Standing on a high place outside the city, Zuo Shiren kept looking intently. This battle is the key to the victory or defeat of the battle.
"The general guarding the city is called Wu Ren, and he is a general under the Demon Queen."
"I don't care about Bai Ren and Wu Ren. We can conquer Liancheng. We will have a chance to capture the entire Cangzhou. Xu Buyi has also started a feint attack. Although the Demon Queen is smart, she is afraid that Xu Buyi will make the fake come true. Therefore, whether it is Jiang An , or in Xinyue Pass, she would not dare to mobilize troops easily."
"She has no troops left." Zuo Shiren said in a cold voice.
Even if she knew that the Demon Queen still held a secret army in her hands. However, garrisoning is required in several directions, and even 100,000 people are not enough to deploy.
"Continue and attack Liancheng with all your strength."
Amid the flying arrows and falling stones, each Dongling phalanx seemed to be holding its breath under the encouragement. At this time, the offensive became even more crazy.
"General Wu, the Dongling army is about to climb the wall!"
Wu Ren gritted his teeth, pulled out his long knife, and looked cautiously under the city gate.
"Someone, push the rolling log down!"
More than a dozen huge rolling logs, under the action of the defenders, followed the wooden push platform built and smashed down with a harsh rumbling sound.
After hitting the person, he continued to crush forward, smashing the two or three Dongling phalanx that rushed under the city wall into pieces.
I just thought it was effective, and I was ready for the second round of rolling wood. The Dongling Divine Gong Camp, who was ambushing under the city, immediately roared and plucked their strings, shooting flying arrows all over the sky towards the wooden platform.
The defenders who were hit by arrows fell from the top of the city in a hurry and fell into the moat below the city, so that the moat was filled with twisted floating corpses in a short time.
The originally clear river water was suddenly dyed blood red.
"Continue to attack the city, no retreat!"
An old Dongling general raised his head and raised his sword, his voice full of fighting spirit and hatred.
…
Not far from Liancheng, there is a hidden camp.
Demon Queen Su Waner was sitting in the military tent, her eyes full of hesitation. She had already expected that due to Wu Ren's stupidity, Zuo Shiren would seize the opportunity and attack Liancheng.
Moreover, in the mountains on both sides of Liancheng, the Shanyue people who were good at fighting in the mountains and forests also began to cooperate with the Dongling army to launch side attacks.
"Queen Mother, there is a question from Ning Wu. Xi Shu is just pretending to attack, and there is no sign of a war. Do you want to divide the troops for reinforcements?"
Demon Empress Su shook her head silently, "Tell him to continue to guard Xinyue Pass. If we really divide our troops for reinforcements, Xu Buyi's side of Yucheng will make the lie come true."
"Queen Mother, in the forest on the left side of Liancheng, Shanyue people have appeared!" At this time, another scout came and brought extremely bad news.
"Nothing, there's someone over there." The Demon Queen lowered her head, her eyes fixed on the map. This time, it is the most dangerous round in Cangzhou.
Zuo Shiren's army was pressing forward step by step. If it really wanted to break through Liancheng, it would be regarded as a long march.
"How's the war going over there at Wu Ren?"
"It's very difficult to defend. The Zuo bandits are attacking Liancheng with all their strength, regardless of the battle losses."
"Zuo Shiren is a smart man, he can't afford to lose this time."
The Demon Queen sat upright and began to close her eyes and say nothing. Only when he was meditating, there was an indescribable sadness between his brows.
In the mountain forest on the left side of Liancheng, the interception battle has begun. Under the layout of the Demon Queen, a life and death battle has begun in the mountains and forests.
…
On the river bank, Xu Mu had been waiting for information from Dongling for two whole days.
"Zuo Shiren stormed Liancheng, and the Shanyue people also began to cooperate with the Dongling army to launch an advance in the mountains and forests. The Demon Queen did not send any reinforcements to the banks of the Cangzhou River and Crescent Pass."
"She wouldn't dare." Xu Mu frowned. Xinyueguan and Cangzhou Riverside combined, there are at least 70,000 to 80,000 troops. As luck would have it, the Demon Queen still had the strength to deal with Zuo Shiren's Dongling army. It can be seen that how many troops are hidden in this secret?
"In addition, the intelligence also said that Zuo Shiren's Yue army in the mountains and forests began to lose ground." As he said this, Dongfang Jing's face became a little happy.
Xu Mu was startled, "There is a defeat. Isn't it very advantageous for Shanyue people to be in the mountains and forests?"
Like the plain barbarian camp in Shuzhou, this kind of foreign tribe that has lived in the mountains for generations is extremely agile and fierce in fighting in the mountains and forests.
After just saying that, Xu Mu had another thought. Suddenly, I understood why Dongfang Jing was happy.
"This Yue army is not the real main force. I suspect that Zuo Shiren used the old and weak soldiers to contain Cangzhou's troops. The real Shanyue army is still dormant. However, judging from this situation , if my guess is correct, it’s time for this dormant Shanyue army to take action.”
"In this battle, Zuo Shiren strategized and fought beautifully."
Not only Dongfang Jing, but also Xu Mu and even Su Demon Empress did not expect that Zuo Shiren had four routes on the surface, but in fact, there were five routes distributed in secret.
The Shanyue Army on the left side of Liancheng is actually just a cover. The real elites, if Dongfang Jing was right, should be attacking Cangzhou from another direction and are about to cooperate with them.
"My lord is not wrong about anyone who can reach this point. There really is no simple one." Dongfang Jing said in a deep voice.
…
In the mountain forest on the right side of Liancheng, under the dark sky, a dormant army slowly revealed its long outline.
The leading general is a dark-skinned man. Xiao Sha's face was full of fighting spirit.
His name is Kang Zhu. With the help of Zuo Shiren, he integrated the twenty-seven tribes of Shanyue and became the new leader of the Shanyue people. According to Zuo Shiren's plan, this time, he would take advantage of the melee on all sides and wait for an opportunity to enter Cangzhou.
"Chief, on the left side of Liancheng...the Yue people of my twenty-seven tribes suffered heavy casualties."
The Vietnamese people are not an elite army. But ordinary Shanyue people.
Kang Zhu looked silent, but soon regained his perseverance as a general. He knew that the twenty-seven mountains and mountains were now closely tied to the three states of Dongling.
If Zuo Shiren wins, the people of Shanyue will have more and better places to breed.
"Send the order and inform the 40,000 Mountain Vietnamese Army to take advantage of the dusk to launch a strong attack from the right side of Liancheng. Cooperate with the Renwang army to capture Liancheng and attack the imperial capital!"
"Goddess of the Candle Snake, help me become a brave warrior."
"kill!"
…
Over the mountains and plains, at night, more than 40,000 Shangoe troops, under Kang Zhu's order, began to launch the final blow.
Standing on a high hill, Zuo Shiren looked at the charging Shanyue elites and unconsciously smiled happily.
