"Queen Mother, urgent report from Liancheng! There is another Yue army in the mountains and forests on the right, and they are starting to kill them!"
After hearing the information, Su Yaohou's face was slightly shocked, but soon returned to normal. She frowned, thinking about it, and suddenly laughed at herself.
"The benevolent king of Dongling? How can you be a benevolent king if you use ordinary Yue people to block the sword? A man who deceives the world and steals his reputation, what kind of benevolent name do he want?"
"Queen Mother, the war situation is not going well!" A Cangzhou general hurriedly walked to her side.
Su Yaohou did not answer, raised her head, and silently looked at the dirty night.
"Queen Mother, if Liancheng is broken and the Dongling army marches straight in, we will have no choice but to retreat and be trapped in the imperial capital!"
"Queen Mother——"
Perhaps because he was anxious, the general was a little hoarse and over-acted.
Ah Qi, who was beside him, turned his head silently and held down the sword on his waist.
"Shut up." The Demon Queen frowned.
The voice was very soft, but it shocked the general and he immediately stepped back.
"Zuo Shiren's move was not very clever, but it was a mistake that hit my Achilles' heel."
The Demon Queen stood up and walked to a high ground under the protection of Ah Qi.
As far as the eye can see, Liancheng, not far ahead, is locked in a fierce battle, fighting for days. Dongling's main camp army rushes towards the city gate like wolves and tigers.
There was not much tension, and the Demon Queen's eyes gradually became colder.
…
"General Wu, the Zuo bandit's attack is too fierce and we cannot defend it!" On the top of Liancheng city, a general's voice was anxious.
Even if General Bi didn't say it, Wu Ren could see it. After several days of fighting, the Dongling people's offensive never rested for a moment.
Today, among the more than 10,000 soldiers guarding Liancheng, more than 6,000 have been killed or injured. The four city gates, except for the north gate at the rear, were filled with dense siege formations of Dongling people.
"This left thief is really hateful!" Wu Ren gasped, the hand holding the knife trembling slightly. He could see that the crumbling Liancheng was about to lose its defense under the fierce attack.
Moreover, his master did not seem to intend to rescue him. If there was rescue, it would have arrived early.
"Continue to defend!" Wu Ren gritted his teeth, "Go and let the civilians in Liancheng City get their weapons and help defend the city."
If ordinary people who have not been trained go to the top of the city to defend the city, they will probably suffer heavy casualties.
"Left thieves claim to be benevolent. If ordinary people defend the city, there is no way they will restrain themselves."
But soon, Wuren realized that he was wrong.
Even if the civilians were defending the city, the Dongling people's offensive was not slow at all. Instead, their killing movements became more and more fierce.
"What kind of benevolent king is this! This is the king of thieves! A huge evil thief!" Wu Ren cursed endlessly. Unable to restore the defeat, and without reinforcements, he could already foresee the tragedy of the city being destroyed and people dying.
"Continue to defend and don't retreat!"
After regaining his composure, Wu Ren's voice became a little trembling unconsciously. He knew that if he fell, his master's methods would probably mean there would be no way to survive.
Standing at the top of the city, Wu Ren looked into the distance and found that the enemy troops outside the city had organized a new round of offensive. He probably felt that the city was about to be broken, and his morale was like a rainbow for a while. On the right side of Liancheng, the dormant Shanyue Army figures were already shouting loudly. They rushed down the mountain from the other direction, and the city was close at hand.
"General, general!"
"What are you shouting for? Keep on guarding. I told you not to retreat!" Wu Ren didn't look back, his voice was trembling. He had no intention of abandoning the city and escaping. He pressed his sword and immediately committed suicide as soon as the city gate was breached.
"No...general, the Queen Mother sent someone to pass the order. Let the general take the remaining troops to the mountains and forests on the right to support and block the Shanyue elite."
Wu Ren was startled, thinking he heard wrongly. When the scout said it again, his face turned pale.
"What the Queen Mother means...is to abandon the city? If so, even if they go to the mountains and forests on the right side of Liancheng to support them, it will still be useless if the Dongling army breaks through the city and carries out a flanking attack."
"General Wu, I, I don't know, this is the Queen Mother's order."
"Understood."
"The Queen Mother also said that before General Wu leaves, he will push the heavy bolt of the south gate of Liancheng away."
"And pushed open the heavy bolt..."
After pushing the heavy bolt open, Dongling's army would be able to break through the door and enter the city in less than half an hour.
Wu Ren breathed out, although his mind was confused. But since it was his master's order, he could only retreat.
Fearing that something might go wrong, Wu Ren did not alert the city's defenders, but took only two thousand defensive battalions with him. Wu Ren quickly followed the direction of the north gate of Liancheng and fled in a hurry.
…
"Lord, the city is about to be broken." Zuo Shixin, the young general, pressed his long sword and walked onto the high hill in surprise.
According to the signs in front of us, after several days of strong attacks and a surprise attack by Shangoe's elite, Liancheng's defenders would definitely be unable to stop them.
After breaking Liancheng, we can march straight in and take the imperial capital of Cangzhou.
Zuo Shiren smiled faintly and said, "We finally have the upper hand in this battle. The Demon Queen must have thought that she would be able to rest easy after defeating my alliance army crossing the river. But she forgot that I, Zuo Shiren, could make it this far. Not a mediocre person."
"If the Lotus City is destroyed, the Demon Queen will be unable to stop her."
"Lord, our army has broken through!" After a while, another scout from the front line came and hurriedly delivered the good news.
"The door is broken!" Hearing the sound, Zuo Shiren could no longer remain calm, with ecstasy on his face.
"Quickly, notify all the armies to attack Liancheng! The Demon Queen is unstoppable!"
The orders at all levels spread throughout the Dongling army in a short time.
"My lord has orders to attack Liancheng, destroy the demon queen, and destroy the bandit army!"
"Enter the Lotus City——"
All over the mountains and plains, there are moving figures in Dongling. The joy of imminent victory, coupled with the continuous killing sounds, seems extremely shocking for a while.
Boom.
The last giant gate of Liancheng was suddenly knocked down by a city-carrying vehicle. The few Cangzhou defenders on the top of the city were either defeated or dead. At first glance, it seemed that they could no longer block the Dongling attack.
Zuo Shiren, standing on a high hill with his sword pointing forward, looked high-spirited.
"Donngling Heavenly Soldiers, kill——"
Like a rising tide, thousands of troops and horses rushed towards the crumbling Liancheng with roaring thunder.
…
"Enter the city!" General Dongling Pi, who was the first to charge, hacked an enemy to death, then raised his head and raised his sword with a loud voice.
However, he seemed to have discovered something and suddenly raised his head hurriedly. When he raised his head, he was extremely shocked.
Staggering, the loyal Dongling general cried with great sadness in his voice.
"Retreat, the army retreats, exits the city!"
"Bury, ambush, there is an ambush!"
A loud arrow shot through the loyal general's head. Dragging Zhajian's head, General Pi took a few more steps and fell heavily to the ground.
To the left and right of General Pi, the hundreds of soldiers who rushed with him were all shot to death by flying arrows.
Rumble.
There was an ear-piercing thunder in the sky, and the filthy clouds began to surge again.
