"Beep..." A horn sounded suddenly, followed by the voice of an officer not far away: "Everyone rest."
The next moment, everyone who had been practicing on that large plain stopped, and then walked in small groups towards the place to eat.
Stopping what he was doing, Lu Yunyou, who was not yet finished enjoying himself, walked over to the Gao Li brothers, and then the three of them walked to the place where they were eating. After dinner, the three of them returned to their resting place.
There was no camp tent, and the 200,000-strong army needed too many tents. Only half of the people could sleep in the tents, and the others could only rest under simple sheds without even a bed.
At night, many soldiers were only covered with a thin blanket. Some were lying on the ground to rest, and some were leaning on others to rest. However, they still had to be fully prepared for tomorrow. Regardless of whether they would go to war tomorrow, for ordinary soldiers, it was important to Enough energy is the key to their survival on the battlefield.
Winter is not a good time to fight. The conditions for sleeping in the open air are very desolate. The figures sleeping together can no longer show any dignity, as if they are a group of homeless refugees. Under the cold wind, Lu Yunyou becomes more and more... He clearly realized that war was never a good thing, but it was a pity that he was unable to change the facts before him.
After finding a place to take off his armor, Lu Yunyou wrapped the blanket made of unknown material around his body, then sat down cross-legged. After his body warmed up a little, he tried to calm down his mind.
The moon was dimly bright, and among the vast stars, the bright moon was particularly eye-catching, bringing people's thoughts to the distance. The cold wind blew in the night, and many soldiers couldn't help but cry out, but Lu Yunyou seemed to be able to adapt to the cold temperature and did not feel it. Regardless of any discomfort, the whole person feels much more relaxed after taking off the armor.
The sounds around him were getting smaller and smaller, and there was nothing to lean on while sitting there. Without any sleepiness, Lu Yunyou thought about the sword practice before. This was the first time he practiced sword in the army, so it was a good start. If there is a chance in the future, he must practice more swordsmanship.
Thinking about it now, he no longer has much problem in practicing those sword moves, but his proficiency in using sword skills still needs to be improved. If he goes to battle tomorrow, he wants to use those enemy troops to test his sword skills. Maybe in actual combat, his sword skills will be better. Swordsmanship improves the fastest. This is something he has only recently figured out, but once he goes to the battlefield, it means that he has to face cruel killings again.
He seems to be isolated from the world in the army, but his life is not peaceful. The daily military life has left him no time to think about other things. Xunxianwen is a topic that is difficult to touch. He doesn't know where to go. When will this kind of life end? With this thought, Lu Yunyou's thoughts became less and less until he finally fell asleep.
Nothing happened all night, and early in the morning, when the loud horn sound spread throughout the camp, all the soldiers got up regardless of whether they had rested last night, then put on their armor, picked up their weapons and went to a specific area to eat.
After eating, everyone lined up under the command of the generals. When all the 200,000 troops were assembled, Lan Wu directly conveyed the instructions for sending troops today. After they arrived at Aolan City, if Feng Jun surrendered, they would directly Enter the pass; if the Feng army does not surrender, they will directly attack the pass.
Before departure, the generals of each camp said a lot of words to encourage morale, which made the soldiers of the three armies feel nervous before the war. After leaving a few thousand people to guard the camp, the rest went straight to Aolan Pass, and the dazzling sun rose higher and higher. The higher you go, the warmer the air becomes, and the fatigue brought to the soldiers by a night of cold wind is dissipating.
Not long after the Star Army dispatched troops, Aolan Pass was tense. After receiving the news of the Star Army's departure, from top to bottom, all the Feng Army felt the tense atmosphere before the war.
One night later, Zhang Yuangang also received a reply from the top of the clan. The Zhang family decided to defend the city at all costs. To this end, the Zhang family also contacted various forces in the city for Zhang Yuangang. Each family would provide some manpower, and also A large number of people, nearly ten thousand in total, were summoned to be at Zhang Yuangang's disposal at any time.
With the strong support of his family, Zhang Yuangang devoted all his energy to defending the city. Their various strategies for defending the city have been deployed. The gap in military strength cannot be reversed. However, in terms of generals, there are martial arts cultivators in the city to help. There is nothing to worry about for now.
As for the Star Army, there are three generals. One general is accompanied by two lieutenants. Ignoring the three generals, there are three thousand three hundred and thirty-three people in the first group, three thousand ordinary soldiers, three hundred senior officers, and three Ten centurions, three thousand captains, and three troops form an army. In total, there are no less than two hundred seventh-level martial arts cultivators in the Star Army.
Such a huge number of high-level martial arts cultivators should not be underestimated. Although Zhang Yuangang received support from some forces in the city, the number of high-level martial arts cultivators on the Feng Army side was still difficult to equal that of the Star Army. Of course, it was impossible for all the generals of the Star Army to participate in the battle.
More than two hours later, the Star Army advanced all the way to the outside of Aolan Pass.
Under the clear sky, the flags of the Feng Kingdom hanging on the high city wall were extremely clear. In the cold wind, the flags were fluttering constantly. Below the flags were the Feng Kingdom defenders who were waiting in full formation. They were all wearing armor, and their military looks were solemn, and they were like stars. The military's domineering attitude was slightly different.
After the 200,000 Star Army spread out outside the city, it was hundreds of meters long both horizontally and vertically. The formation was so large that it was hard to take it in at a glance. After seeing the formation of the Star Army, many of the Feng Army on the city felt like A feeling of trepidation.
The large number of Star Army had a great impact on them. Before the battle started, the Star Army had already damaged the morale of Feng Army with its formation.
In front of the city tower, Feng Army commander Zhang Yuangang, Tang Jinjian and a dozen other people all had a look of surprise in their eyes. Regardless of their age, they had never seen so many people gathered in one place before, even the two hundred thousand Star Army. Ordinary people were still surprised by the size of the formation under the city.
Even with the cultivation level of a saint, Zhang Yuangang still felt guilty when facing the Star Army. He even regretted it. If he had known that the Star Kingdom had such a powerful army, perhaps he and the Zhang family should have carefully considered returning to the Star. A matter of country.
Thinking about the situation of the Feng Army in the city, Zhang Yuangang's mood kept fluctuating. At the same time, Tang Jinjian on the side was also in a difficult mood. This was not the first time he met Lan Wu, but as a loser, when he faced Lan Wu again , he didn't even dare to look directly at Lan Wu's majestic expression.
Lan Wu's aura was so strong that even he, who had been insisting on resisting, felt that there was something wrong with his decision in advance. He had a vague feeling that it would be difficult to secure the pass today, especially after seeing those brave and high-spirited Star Army soldiers, he felt that there was something wrong with his decision in advance. He became less and less confident in defending Lancheng.
At the same time, Lan Wu was also looking at the people in the city. He had a panoramic view of the faces of Zhang Yuangang and others. He did not notice any abnormality. The Fengguo defenders on both sides were waiting step by step, and they looked like nothing was wrong. Abnormal, everything reflected the result of Feng Jun's choice to defend the city. After watching the situation on the city for a long time, Lan Wu finally looked at Lan Xu.
"One day has passed. I wonder if Marshal Zhang has thought it through?" The next moment, after receiving Lan Wu's instructions, Lan Xu shouted directly to Zhang Yuangang on the tower. For Lan Xu, whether the enemy is willing to surrender is not up to him. Where he cared, he came with a large army today. He just wanted to have a battle with Feng Jun.
Facing Lan Xu's inquiry, Zhang Yuangang blinked a few times. He wanted to say that he was unwilling to surrender, but he didn't have much confidence in his heart. He wanted to say that he was willing to surrender because Tang Jinjian was there, considering that Tang Jinjian's attitude represented the will of the ancient Yuan Dynasty. , for a moment, he didn't know how to respond.
"If Marshal Zhang is willing to surrender, please open the city gate as soon as possible. If he would rather die than surrender, then we will only meet on the battlefield." Seeing the other party's delay in speaking, Lan Xu urged impatiently.
"Why would General Lan ask knowingly? Just looking at the formation on our city, General Lan must also know what my answer is." The next moment, just when Tang Jinjian thought that Zhang Yuangang was timid and planned to surrender to the Star Army, Zhang Yuangang said loudly: " Our Feng army is united, the defenders in the pass are highly motivated, and tens of thousands of reinforcements are on the way, and will arrive at Languan soon, why should we surrender to you?"
"Isn't Marshal Zhang worried that if you can't defend the city, the city will be destroyed and everyone will die?" Lan Xu suddenly felt like he was being teased, and Lan Xu immediately responded with anger.
"General Lan is joking, our Languan Pass is impregnable, there is no reason why you can break it at will. If General Lan is not afraid of death, you might as well come and try it yourself. I will definitely let your star army see my methods," Zhang Yuangang smiled, He ignored Lan Xu's angry words.
On the chariot, Lan Wu had a clear view of Zhang Yuangang's words and deeds, and quickly came to the conclusion that "attacking the city is not easy." No matter how sleek and sophisticated Zhang Yuangang himself was, and how lacking in prestige, it would be very difficult for them to attack the city today. But the more difficult it became, the clearer he knew they must capture Aolan City.
