After a night of fierce fighting, Guangjun's army broke into Roucheng several times, but the Lijun garrison took advantage of the convenient location and fought back to get out of the city.
The diminutive old general Lin Youmu tried to take the lead several times to boost morale but was blocked. However, he still stubbornly insisted on taking the risk of leading the army formation to press the commander's flag to the moat during the last storm at dawn!
But a stalemate is still just a stalemate.
After both sides suffered greater casualties, they had to withdraw their main forces. The Guangjun side, which had the numerical advantage, took turns using troops in batches to maintain suppression of the gaps in the city wall, plus trebuchets, crossbows, and flying swords. The cooperation of the defenders made it impossible for the defenders to effectively repair the city wall, and even used powerful long-range offensives to tear the original gap even wider. If they burned it with burning kerosene, it would be a piece of scorched earth that no one could make up for.
If the city is broken but not captured, it will be torture for both the attacker and the defender.
But as long as this situation continues, victory will slowly tilt towards the siege side.
Before dawn, Yun Er, who was dressed in white but had a charcoal face, had returned to the high platform with an extremely ugly face, and stood again not far or near from Yun Bailou, silent. language.
Yun Bailou withdrew his gaze from Roucheng and asked without looking back, "Is this woman the one who protected Luochuan all the way back from the capital?"
The charcoal-faced old man lowered his head and said in a muffled "Hmm" voice. His snow-white robes were somewhat torn and wet in many places. He looked mottled and embarrassed, "Back in Huaicheng. At that time, I vaguely sensed the extraordinary aura of her body. Unexpectedly, not to mention that she had already reached the Sixth Level of Spiritualization at such a young age, she could actually practice martial arts to the peak of Dragon Elephant. It was really unbelievable... "
"Have you achieved spiritual enlightenment?" Yun Bailou took one more look at Roucheng in the distance, then turned and walked towards the foot of the high platform, "Is there any chance of reaching the upper three realms?"
The charcoal-faced old man followed behind Yun Bailou, frowning and hesitating, and didn't say a word for a long time.
Then a woman wearing a brown robe landed from the sky beside Yun Bailou, trailing half a step behind and following closely, "Yes."
Yun Bailou turned his head to look at the blood-stained rips on the brown robe of the woman, and his expression became a little solemn, "Sure enough, there was an accident? Was it the silversmith who pretended to go south but actually went north to Anling, or was it Qixingzi who was practicing hard Have you made a breakthrough over the years?”
The woman in brown robe shook her head, her expression turned ferocious for a moment, which completely destroyed the beauty of her originally beautiful and soft face, "With Qi Xingzi's unfathomable understanding, it is enough to enter the upper three realms." What a huge surprise. Even if he was given another thousand years, he would not be able to make any progress. Judging from various sources, there is no doubt that the silversmith has indeed gone south to Baiden. The hidden character who appeared next to Qi Xingzi today is an unidentified mysterious person. ....."
"Qi Xingzi, the mysterious man..." Yun Bailou murmured to himself, and then he saw a golden light in the distant sky passing through like a meteor and finally landed next to them. It was a man with erected eyebrows and lush beard. A middle-aged man, wearing a black Taoist robe, with a short-handled flying sword with a golden scabbard tied around his waist. Just looking at it gives people a sense of fierceness, which is extremely inconsistent with people's expectations of a Taoist priest. Cognition, "Master Yang, Chen Jingzhi is not dead, who is stopping you?"
The black-robed Taoist priest snorted angrily, his eyebrows almost straightened up, and he squeezed out a few words from between his teeth, "Anling County...Xian Youzi..."
"Xian Youzi...?!" The woman in brown robe smiled in a low and hoarse voice, and she was even flattering, "If anything happens here, I will kill him...!"
Yun Bailou stopped for a moment, then continued to walk towards the Chinese army camp, "Xianyouzi is too old and weak-tempered to be able to influence the overall situation. This time he returns to Li County and will most likely be raised somewhere. I will just work for Luochuan when the time comes in the future, and let’s not worry about him for now. Instead, it was the woman in white who dared to take the opportunity to attack and kill us in front of our army formation in such a situation last night... I want to see her as soon as possible head!"
"Kill her directly without finding out her details first?" the woman in brown robe asked.
"No need," Yun Bailou's voice was cold, "I just want her life, there is no need to waste any more energy," he paused and added, "Since that old man, the immortal wanderer, is already here. Roucheng, send a message to my uncle asking him to come to Roucheng first to help, and the army can be handed over to the general Wang Lang. This battle must be won!!"
The woman in brown robe nodded slightly and said "Okay" softly and timidly.
————————————————————————
Just as the fierce fighting began in Roucheng, an elite army of more than 10,000 people from Sichuan City came out of the city.
Accompanying this is the larger-scale closure and control of this large city, which has experienced successive wars and changes of ownership in a short period of time. Communication within and outside the city has been cut off, and the gates in all directions are closed day and night. All the people in the city, regardless of Regardless of their original identities and what they look like now, they are not allowed to leave their respective courtyards for ten days!
This kind of unprecedented strict confinement is fine for wealthy people. It only prevents freedom for a short period of time. Not only is there enough food for their own gardens, but also enough activities for the people in the city who are already poor or have lost family members due to the war and have become poor again. It's a catastrophe.
Those families that have lost their backbone and only the young and old are left, those families that have no food reserves, and those homeless beggars who have fled here from all over the world...
When all conceivable solutions have been exhausted, death may be the only result...
This is war, there is no warmth at all.
The result of such a huge effort in vigilance was that this Sichuan city was turned into an iron barrel that was impenetrable, and not even a fly could fly out.
Therefore, this large army walked west for more than a hundred miles before encountering a scout team from the direction of Chunyang City that was clearly beyond the scope of exploration.
There were only a dozen people in the scout team. The moment they saw the Guangjun army on a high point on a mound, they galloped away on their horses and fled in all directions. At the same time, the carrier pigeons and messenger instruments were released.
But they reacted quickly, and Guangjun reacted even faster. Several flying swords shot out from the army array and spun around in the air for a few times, killing all possible information transmission in the cradle.
After the blood-stained flying swords returned to the array, dozens of army scouts rushed to the hill.
In the army, an old man with white beard and hair and a kind-faced face stretched out his hand and tugged on the thin armor on his body. He had not worn armor for many years and was already a little uncomfortable with such a restraint. "Rou City was surrounded, Chunyang City expanded the scope of the scouts' investigation to Come here, but the reconnaissance will not be confidential, and General Wang Pi will only need to be more careful during the subsequent march and there will be no big problems."
Next to the old man is a middle-aged man with splayed eyebrows and deep vertical lines. However, when facing the old man, he always has a stiff smile on his face. "Don't worry, ancestor, the general will definitely follow the instructions of ancestor. Order to bring the army to Roucheng smoothly as soon as possible."
"I can rest assured that General Wang Pi will do his job." The old man smiled kindly and turned to the middle-aged man and nodded, "At this time, the wall of Rou City has been broken. Once the army arrives, even if it only relies on the huge advantage in military strength, it can easily capture Rou." At that time, I will ask Young Master for the position of Lord Commander of Sichuan City for you. You know, after all, I am... not suitable to stay in this position."
Hearing this, the smile on the middle-aged man's face couldn't help getting thicker, and he quickly suppressed his joy and saluted the old man solemnly, "The ancestor's kindness to Wang Lang will never be forgotten by the Wang family!"
The old man smiled and nodded again, turning into a blue light and disappearing into the sky.
Only the curved spine of a middle-aged man is left, facing the direction of desertion...
