"The King of Zhuzhou died in battle." Xu Mu, who also received the information, suddenly realized something was wrong. Under the general trend, there is no problem in attacking Cangzhou. But what I'm most afraid of is that something will happen again.
"Zuo Shiren, how are you doing now?"
A scout who delivered the message hurriedly replied, "We are not afraid. We are boosting morale and mobilizing the army to storm the city gate."
"I know." Xu Mu nodded.
Almost all of the Demon Queen's elite troops were placed in the last ten cities. It is estimated that this battle will take some time.
"Six Heroes, other information."
Yin Hu suddenly appeared, "The war in Hebei has begun. Spring has just begun. The king of Yuzhou has already ordered his troops and is preparing to attack Dieshi Pass."
"When did this information come out?"
"It should have been five days ago. The latest information, Ye Xiao has not yet been sent."
Xu Mu was silent for a while, "Where is it in Hezhou?"
"Nothing unusual."
"Qingzhou."
"Tang Wuyuan ordered his troops and horses, saying that he wanted King Qin to kill the thieves. In the name of saving the royal family, he also contacted many forces, and his momentum was somewhat alarming."
"It's just that the thunder is loud and the raindrops are light."
On Tang Wuyuan's side, Zuo Shiren had already taken precautions and left a force of men and horses to block him on the only way.
In addition, over at Yucheng, Yu Wen also received a letter. In the letter, he asked, with the war in Cangzhou, Xinyueguan has almost become an isolated city. Should he go out to attack.
Xu Mu refused. The current situation is not yet clear. At least, the Demon Queen still had many secrets that had not been exposed, and he did not want to throw all his strength into the battle.
"By the way, my lord, there is another letter. It was delivered to Shuzhou some time ago and was transferred from Shuzhou yesterday."
"Sent to Shuzhou?" Xu Mu was stunned.
"There is no signature of the sender. It only says that it will be delivered to the lord in person."
Xu Mu took the letter and found that it was already wrinkled. God knows how difficult the journey of this letter was.
If you send it to Shuzhou, you will be a distant person. If not, it should be sent to Muyun State.
Opening the envelope quietly, Xu Mu's face gradually became surprised. Until the end, almost with a cold face, he tore the envelope into pieces.
Si Hu hurriedly grabbed the shredded paper and buried it in several places.
After finishing his work, he walked back with a relaxed look and spoke in a low voice.
"Brother Mu, what's wrong?"
"nothing."
Xu Mu only uttered two words and fell into deep thought again. The content of the letter is really shocking. And he didn't expect that his old friend would retain such a skill.
For a moment, Xu Mu fell into deep thought again.
…
"How are Xu Buyi's men and horses doing now?" Wearing her heroine's battle armor, the Demon Queen stood firmly on top of the city. What worries her most is the Xishu side.
"We crossed the river earlier and have been launching strong attacks in the north. However, our soldiers are extremely tenacious and the city gates are still firmly defended."
Demon Empress Su was silent for a while, and finally nodded. Then, she raised her eyes and looked around at the fighting under the city wall.
"Don't worry, this war will take a turn for the better soon."
"Queen Mother, what kind of turning point is there?"
Demon Empress Su did not answer, but her beautiful eyes suddenly showed a hint of radiance.
"Do you feel that something is missing in this Central Plains land?"
"Queen Mother, please forgive me for being stupid."
"Eagle." Queen Mother Su smiled, "I know that there are also eagles in the Central Plains, but what I mean is that they are the kind of eagles that dare to compete with the sky."
The general in front of me was promoted from the ranks. He was a rough guy and I didn't understand it for a moment.
"There should be eagles spreading their wings in the sky of the Central Plains. In this world, in addition to those who are willing to serve the king, I also have other helpers."
"Let me put an end to this troubled world with my own hands."
…
"This troubled world must be over." At the top of Hezhou City, a young man wearing robes and armor stood coldly in the wind and suddenly said to himself.
After standing for a long time, he took steps and walked steadily down the city wall.
"General Chang, a letter from my lord."
Chang Jiulang took it, did not open it, tore it into pieces, and then threw it into the wind.
"General Chang?" The general who delivered the letter looked a little confused.
"Come here." Chang Jiulang said with a smile.
General Pi took two steps closer in confusion. Suddenly, he felt a pain in his body and realized that at some point, General Chang in front of him had stabbed a dagger into his chest.
"Send the order, the rebel general Wang Fang secretly communicates with Beidi and leads the enemy fifty miles into the pass. All officers and men, follow me out of the pass to kill the enemy!" Chang Jiulang took back his dagger and suddenly shouted angrily.
The generals who were closer did not understand. Among them, there are many who have doubts and ask questions. For example, those old soldiers and generals who once guarded Hezhou without retreating.
"General Chang, what do you mean? When my old general passed away, he said that the army cannot leave the border at will - "
Chang Jiulang had a cold face and stabbed the dagger into General Lao Pi's belly. Lao Pi Jiang coughed blood and fell down with bulging eyes.
Behind him, many old soldiers were guarding him, roaring angrily, drawing their swords and charging forward.
"Surround and kill the rebels."
Chang Jiulang had no expression on his face, stretched out his fingers, and pointed forward coldly.
"If anyone misses our military plane again, they will be killed immediately! Listen to my orders, I have a good plan in mind. If you go out of the city to ambush, you will definitely gain something. Your military merits will be improved to a higher level."
"Gather your troops and leave the city!"
For a time, nearly 40,000 defenders gathered in Hezhou. Many people, before they understood what was happening, were being urged out of the city by the generals one by one.
Of course, this is obviously different from the defensive strategy of veteran Lian Yong. Along the way, each military formation continued to raise questions, causing the military morale to continue to weaken.
Riding on the horse, Chang Jiulang turned a deaf ear.
In his consideration, these more than 40,000 defenders were like abandoned sons.
"March, continue marching, we will set up an ambush near Wangzhou."
…
Goshawks circled in the sky. Under the eagle's gaze, long black formations continued to move forward, following the direction of the Central Plains.
"We've arrived at Yongguan. I'm waiting on the Central Plains side. There's already a hidden trap, cutting off the Jiren outpost's exploration." On top of a tall horse with gold armor, there is a majestic middle-aged man wearing a golden round on his head. He is wearing a felt hat and a gilt cloak depicting an eagle. He holds a gold riding whip in one hand and holds a gold knife in the other hand.
From a distance, it seemed that only a few people were following the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man suddenly stopped his horse and looked at Yongguan in front of him.
He smiled and said, "If I remember correctly, Li Poshan, the number one general in Daji back then, died here."
"It's a pity that such a hero was killed by a coward from the Central Plains."
"That's right, there is no morality in punishing people!"
"This huge land in the Central Plains should be inhabited by those who are capable. I, the people of the Grassland Eagle, will seize this unforgettable land of thousands of miles with me!"
"Tenggri!"
The golden sword was drawn out and pointed directly in the direction of Hezhou.
"Roar!"
On the horizon, figures riding one after another suddenly galloped out, holding scimitars and carrying bows on their backs. Thousands of horses galloping above, the iron hooves trampled the green grass, and even the white clouds in the sky seemed to be shaken into nothing.
"Tenggri——"
…
