Volume 10 Chapter 705

Chapter 705

The new army commanded by Liu Zhang launched a strong attack on Lishi City, but the attack did not go smoothly. First, Lishi City had a steep terrain and was easy to defend and difficult to attack. Second, the defenders were tenacious and resisted desperately. The Feng Army's attacks were repeatedly frustrated. Read the full text. **《》*

Tang Yin only watched the siege that day and had no interest in continuing. Although there was no progress in the day's strong attack, in Tang Yin's view, the overall situation was determined and there was no suspense.

The difference in strength between the two sides was so great that even if the enemy was not defeated on the first day, the An army would not be able to survive its own attack on the second and third days.

It was enough for him to see Liu Zhang's ability in commanding operations.

That night, after Feng Jun withdrew his troops and returned to the camp, Liu Zhang looked for Tang Yin again. Tang Yin was no longer in the camp, and along with him, Asan and Asi also disappeared.

Liu Zhang was frightened and panicked. The king disappeared in his military camp. Is that okay? He hurriedly found Yin Lan and Ren Xiao, who were traveling with Tang Yin, and asked him where the two kings had gone.

Ren smiled and said nothing, and Yin Lan said: "The king went to Fenshui City and said he wanted to inquire about the situation there first!"

Liu Zhang was shocked and asked hurriedly: "How many soldiers and horses does the king have?"

Yin Lan said: "There are only three generals and four generals."

"What? Your Majesty took only two people to Fenshui City? What if we encounter the enemy? Why didn't you stop them?" Liu Zhang became anxious, blushing and roaring at Yin Lan.

Yin Lan was also full of grievances. The king was leaving, and she had to be able to stop him even if she wanted to! At this time, Ren Xiao smiled and said: "General Liu, don't be nervous. What you have to worry about should not be your king, but the enemy in Fenshui City!"

Liu Zhang still respected Ren Xiao, Master Shenchi. After calming down and thinking about it, what he said made sense. With the king's spiritual martial arts, even if he encountered an enemy and couldn't defeat it, it would still be no problem to run away.

Thinking of this, he felt a little relieved. Then, he shook his head and sighed, and said with a wry smile: "It seems that the king is very dissatisfied with my command of the battle today and is too lazy to read any more."

Ren Xiao laughed and said: "General Liu guessed wrong this time. In my opinion, with His Highness Feng Wang's personality, if he is really dissatisfied with your command of the battle, he will definitely not leave the military camp, but will stay and personally Supervising the battle, the reason why His Highness Feng Wang was able to leave for Fenshui City just shows that he is very confident in your command of the battle, and he left only when he felt that there was nothing to worry about here. "

When Liu Zhang heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, and his gloomy mood suddenly brightened up. He patted his head hard and laughed to himself: "Oh, I'm really confused! Thank you Mr. Ren for reminding me, I can feel at ease now." "

Ren smiled but said nothing, but there was a hint of sadness in his eyes.

Tang Yin said that he was going to Fenshui City to inquire about intelligence, but there were two intelligence agencies in the Feng Army: Tianyan and Diwang, so why did he need to personally investigate the military situation? Moreover, he only brought Ah San and Ah Si with him, so it was so secretive that there must be something hidden.

The only secret that Ren Xiao can think of now is that Tang Yin wants to use Fenshui City to improve his own cultivation. There are 30,000 Anjun in Fenshui City. For Tang Yin, who is eager to break through the realm of cultivation, that is 30,000 holy medicines, supplements, and delicious food.

Thirty thousand souls... Ren Xiao lamented in his heart.

Ren Xiao and Tang Yin had not known each other for a long time, but they knew Tang Yin very well. This time, he guessed correctly. Tang Yin quietly went to Fenshui City not to gather information, but to improve his cultivation.

The Feng Army is currently attacking Lishi City. Fenshui City is very calm and there are no Feng Army around. Relatively speaking, Fenshui City's defense is relatively lax, which just gives Tang Yin the opportunity to launch a sneak attack.

In the early morning, before dawn, this was the time when the soldiers who were keeping watch were the most tired and sleepy. The spiritual cultivators standing on the top of the city also withdrew their insight skills and leaned feebly on the arrow stacks, hanging their heads and dozing off.

An Jun spiritual cultivator was half asleep when he suddenly felt spiritual pressure fluctuations around him. This was the reaction of a spiritual cultivator suddenly appearing in front of him.

He was startled, and he hurriedly opened his eyes to see what was going on, but all he felt was a blur in front of his eyes, and then, a palm burning with black flames penetrated straight into his throat.

call! Black fire burned all over his body in an instant. He opened his mouth wide and wanted to scream, but he couldn't shout a word. The palm inserted into his throat had cut off his trachea.

His body fell limply, and his helmet fell off, hitting the stone bricks of the city wall with a clanging sound. When the dozing defenders heard the sound, they opened their hazy sleepy eyes and looked up.

People's originally confused eyes suddenly widened, and their pupils suddenly shrank. The spiritual cultivator on their side fell to the ground, and beside him, squatted a 'monster'.

Judging from the figure, he should be a human, but his whole body was burning with black flames. What was even more frightening was that there were two strange and scary green lights flashing in the black fire.

"Monster...monster, monster...it's...it's a monster!" An Jun screamed with hair all over his body and a cold wind running down his back.

It would have been better if he didn't yell. When he yelled, the two green lights slowly turned around and looked directly at him. An Jun was so frightened that he jumped up from the ground with a howl, turned around and ran away. He was faster, but the 'monster' was even faster. It rushed behind him in an instant and inserted the knife into his back.

thump! Another corpse fell to the ground under the burning of black fire. The surrounding Anjun's scalp was numb, his legs were weak, he screamed strangely, and fled in all directions.

The 'monster' obviously had no intention of letting them go. With two rustling sounds, two waning-moon-shaped scimitars appeared in his hands. As he took the scimitars into his hands, the black fire on his palms spread to the blades. Fast, like electricity and ghosts, they appeared and disappeared around An Jun. An Jun, who was running away in a hurry, was shrouded in black fire one after another. Many people were burning with black fire all over their bodies and continued to move forward. After running for a few steps, they fell to the ground. White aura emerged from their bodies and formed a ball in the air.

Hundreds of Anjun were all killed in an instant. The wounds on each corpse were different, but the skin was the same pale white, and even the black pupils turned the same gray.

The night is still quiet, murderous intent spreads on the top of the city. There are corpses on the ground, but there is no smell of blood. A black fire stands among the corpses. Two green lights are getting brighter. The whole scene is weird and terrifying. .

At this time, footsteps were heard under the city wall. A soldier with disheveled armor walked out of a tent not far away. He looked at the city and shouted, "Hey, it's not yet dawn. What are you doing on the city?" Woolen cloth?"

No one answered, and he didn't see anyone on the top of the city. Just when he was secretly wondering, a black mist suddenly appeared out of thin air around him. Then, the black mist condensed into a human shape, and he slowly opened his mouth. Just as he was about to scream, the opponent's knife had already scratched his neck.

There was still no blood, and the body with all its essence evaporated lay slumped on the ground like a ball of mud, its eyes wide open. The black figure didn't even look at the corpse on the ground. After sucking up the spiritual energy in the air, he walked into the tent with his two swords in hand...

When it was daylight, Fenshui City exploded, rumors spread, and an atmosphere of terror enveloped the hearts of everyone in the city.

Near the city wall of the North City, there were soldiers of the An army standing up and down the wall, but the whole scene was silent and eerily silent. People looked solemnly and stared blankly at the bottom of the city wall.

Under the city wall, there were thousands of corpses neatly arranged in a large area. Among them were ordinary An army soldiers, as well as spiritual cultivators and generals in the An army. They had various wounds on their bodies. Different, there were knife wounds and claw wounds, but one thing was the same, their blood seemed to be sucked dry by something in an instant.

"Who can tell me, what happened in Beicheng last night?" Overnight, thousands of defenders on the Beicheng Gate were all killed. Wei Ling, the commander-in-chief of the Fenshui City defenders and the head of Gurao County, glared at Looking at the soldiers present, he gritted his teeth and roared.

No one knows what happened here in Beicheng, when did the enemy come, and how did they kill so many of their own people. A general said in a trembling voice: "Reporting to your lord, this morning, when the brothers who were changing the guard came to Beicheng, they saw the bodies of the brothers. Many brothers died in the camp without wearing armor or holding weapons. He was obviously killed in his sleep. If the enemy attacked, it would be impossible to do so quietly, and it would be impossible to run away after the attack. In addition, looking at the corpses, the wounds on many brothers were not fatal, but The blood was sucked dry. This is obviously...obviously not an enemy...not something humans can do. The general estimates that last night, there was probably...a ghost here in Beicheng!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone present shivered, their faces turned pale and their whole bodies became cold.

"That's nonsense!" Wei Ling said angrily: "How can there be any ghosts in the world? If you dare to confuse the public with your evil words again and disrupt the morale of our army, I will definitely kill you without mercy!"

The general trembled with fright and did not dare to say another word. He bowed his head and retreated.

"Give the bodies of these brothers a good burial. Please cheer up tonight. We will double the number of sentries in all four cities and arrange for patrols. Do you understand?" Wei Ling clenched her fists and said.

"Yes! Sir!" All the generals responded in unison.

Wei Ling could suppress the morale of the defenders, but he could not suppress the popular sentiment of the people in the city.

Rumors that ghosts killed thousands of soldiers overnight spread quickly among the people. Under the huge fear, people naturally wanted to find someone to vent their anger to.

Soon some people pointed out that the Yue Ze rebelled against the royal family and was desolate and unethical, and had been punished by heaven. However, the Fenshui City defenders continued to be loyal to the emperor here, so they attracted the ghosts to cause chaos. This was completely retribution.

Defending a city, especially when a weak force is fighting a strong one, requires the unity of the army and the people. Once the army and the people are separated, it will be difficult to defend the city.

Fenshui City is facing such an embarrassing situation at this time.
