low-key is king

Chapter 275 Who dares to retreat, punish the nine clans!
"General, it seems that we have stayed in Ming City for three days without any movement, which has already aroused the suspicion of that old fellow Fang Lun!"

The Gu Qi next to him was also thoughtful, thinking even more than Hua Guang, the fourth-grade poison master, he guessed the truth immediately, and his face was also a little ugly.

"Second Young Master and Mr. Yu, there is no news yet?"

Now that the matter has come to this point, Guan Xu has no other way to do it. He glanced at the east and the west, but he never saw the two long-awaited figures.

No one understands the state of Shenying Ji better than Guan Xu. Even if 2000 people shoot three rounds, and everyone hits the target, at most [-] enemy soldiers will be killed.

And the Shenji Battalion did not have the power of killing the gods, even if they were all elites in the army, they would not be able to compete with the enemy's army of more than 2.

Therefore, what Guan Xu thinks in his heart is to defend the city. If he can wait for Lu Xun and Yu Mingzhao to return before the city is broken, then there is a great possibility of turning defeat into victory.

On the contrary, if you can't wait for those two, or if those two fail to seize the mine vein, then you can stop talking about it.

It is impossible for the two thousand Shenji Battalion, which is alone in the enemy's country, to get the support of Xuanyang country.

Even along the way, there were quite a few cities that were breached by the Shenji Battalion, and it was too late to arrange for officials from the Xuanyang Kingdom to control them. Instead, some generals were used. Who knows if those guys will turn against the water under the changing situation.

When the news of Mingcheng's entrapment spreads, if there is another fire in the rear, then the Shenji Battalion with a lone army going deep will really have no way out.

"What? The Second Young Master hasn't come back yet?"

Just as Guan Xu finished speaking, a familiar voice came out from the east side, which surprised and delighted the Xuanyang Confucian general, and everyone turned their eyes to that direction.

I saw there, at some point, there was a figure with a face like a crown of jade, it was Yu Mingzhao, the sixth-rank mechanism master of Taihangzong, and there was a smile on his face at this moment, as if he had a plan in mind.

Whoa!

Seeing everyone staring at him, Yu Mingzhao stretched out his hand to touch his wrist, and immediately dozens of large boxes filled the north gate city wall, exuding a special atmosphere.

"Fortunately not humiliated!"

The smile on Yu Mingzhao's face was not concealed at all, and the soft voice in his mouth sounded calm and breezy, but it made many soldiers of the Shenji Battalion look ecstatic.

As the elite of the Shenji Battalion, these soldiers naturally knew the Shenji machine very well. They all guessed from the pungent smell that these boxes were full of saltpeter for making the ammunition of the Shenji machine.

"Now, let's see...whether he can come back early!"

Guan Xu was also a little excited, and managed not to reveal Lu Xun's identity in front of the public, and Yu Mingzhao's return also showed that their plan this time was half completed.

"General, they are going to attack the city!"

Just when Yu Mingzhao was full of ambition, Gu Qi shouted heavily, and then pointed down the city, only to see that the [-] troops outside were ready to move at this moment.

"Hmph, these guys are here to test, how can they waste time?"

Guan Xu obviously understood the enemy's thoughts thoroughly. Hearing this, he snorted coldly, and then raised the small flag in his hand.

"Since you are not afraid of death, let me show you what is the power of the God Killing Machine!"

Guan Xu gently pressed down the military flag in his hand, and then a group of soldiers from the Shenji Battalion came to the edge of the city wall, with their guns pointing downwards, and they would shoot the first round as soon as the enemy came within range.

Gu Qi and the others have no objection to this. At such a time, they must not show a state of internal weakness.

They just want to give the enemy a false impression that our army has enough ammunition, and one of you will die if you come.

But they were still a little worried. The remaining ammunition in the Shenji Battalion was only enough to shoot three rounds. Even if they had prepared bows, arrows, knives and guns, after all, there were only a few thousand people in this area.

Yes, at this moment in Ming City, in addition to the standard 2000 people of the Shenji Battalion, a reserve team of 3000 people was transferred from the rear as quickly as possible.

This is all in preparation for the expansion of the scale. The God Killing Machine has been assembled long ago, but the ammunition is short.

As long as Lu Xun and Yu Mingzhao can succeed this time, the Shenji Camp can immediately expand to 5000 people.

But whether it is 2000 or 5000 people, as long as the stored ammunition is used up, they can only rely on traditional attack methods to attack the enemy, so they will not have any advantage.

Ming City is not a city that is easy to defend but difficult to attack, especially the north city wall facing Jinfeng Capital, which is much shorter than the other three walls.

Let me ask the former Jinfeng Kingdom, who could attack from the north city of Mingcheng? Could it be that Jinfeng Kingdom would attack its own city?

Precisely because of this, under normal circumstances, it would probably take less than a day for [-] Jinfeng elite soldiers to capture the north gate of Ming City, but today's battle will naturally not be an ordinary war.

boom!
Like a sound of shooting, the hundreds of Golden Wind soldiers rushing to the front all fell down, making the soldiers behind them stumble.

"Call me, who dares to back off, punish the nine clans!"

Seeing the fearful faces of those soldiers, Yang Shu, a general in the Chinese army, couldn't help shouting.

When they heard the words "Zhu Jiu Clan", all the soldiers concentrated together and rushed forward again.

It seems that the quality of the soldiers of the Golden Wind Country is extremely high. They clearly know that if they died in the front line, maybe their family members can get some compensation.

But if he becomes a deserter, he may not be able to survive, and his family members in the capital city will also be burdened by him.

Under the threat of Zhu Jiu Clan, these Golden Wind soldiers were all as brave as wolves, which also made the soldiers of Shenji Battalion on the wall of the north gate of Deming City all look gloomy.

"shooting!"

Guan Xu snorted again with a gloomy face, and then the second team of Shenyingji came out more and more, and then another hundred Jinfeng soldiers died tragically on the spot.

A tragic siege battle started like this. Yang Shu got a death order. Half of the 3 people would not die. It is impossible for him to retreat.

But watching the soldiers in front of them fall down one after another, Yang Shu couldn't help but feel a little nervous, secretly thinking that the Prime Minister and their deduction will not be wrong.

Looking at the opponent's aura, it didn't seem like there was a shortage of ammunition. It didn't take long before he lost hundreds of soldiers.

If this continues, half of the battle damage may not last long.

The leading generals on both sides have their own thoughts, but neither shows any sign of compromise or retreat.

They all know very well that once they show their flaws, they will be seized by the other party, and the consequences will be disastrous.

…………

The war in Mingcheng is still going on, but in the valley nearly two hundred miles west of Mingcheng, certain auras are getting stronger and stronger.

In the valley, general Song Chaoyun led a thousand soldiers to mine dozens of boxes of sulfur ore. Of course, compared to the entire sulfur mine, this is just a drop in the bucket.

At this moment, Song Chaoyun was looking at the platform with the hole from a distance, and he could vaguely see a burly figure sitting there, while the other figure of a young man in black was turning a blind eye.

"The second son of the Zhendong Prince's Mansion, won't suffer any accidents, will he?"

Song Chaoyun thought about it a little too much, but at the next moment, his eyes suddenly narrowed, and he felt an extremely majestic breath erupting from the hole on the high platform.

"This is... a breakthrough?!"

Although Song Chaoyun is only a martial artist who has just entered the fifth level, his sensing ability is quite good. Even if it is so far away, he can still sense the extremely majestic breakthrough breath.

"Hahaha……"

Immediately afterwards, the maniacal laughter from the mouth of the violent ape on the platform confirmed Song Chaoyun's guess, which made him look a little envious.

After all, Song Chaoyun has been guarding here for more than ten years. Although he didn't have much communication with the fire ape, strictly speaking, the two sides are already "old friends".

The former Fire Ape had always been at the completion of the five realms, while Song Chaoyun had just entered the five realms. There was no real difference between the two.

Relying on the superiority in numbers, Song Chaoyun might not be afraid of a violent fire ape with perfect five realms, which is also the main reason why he dared to guard here for many years.

But now, the Fire Ape broke through to the sixth level for some reason, and he is a great master of the fifth level.

Song Chaoyun knew clearly that if he fought alone, he would definitely not be able to survive the three moves.

"It won't be related to that Second Young Master Lu, right?"

Song Chaoyun had a whim in his heart, but he didn't know that he guessed the truth in this way.

The Fire Ape was able to achieve a breakthrough in just three days, thanks to the sulfur crystal energy activated by Lu Xun.

The Fire Ape on the high platform didn't care about this Golden Wind general's thoughts at all, but after laughing, his gaze turned to the entrance of the cave immediately.

It's just that the cave is so gloomy that the young human figure can't be seen at all, and even if the fire ape broke through to the sixth level, he never thought about taking back his cave.

boom!
Just when the Fire Ape's mind was turning, a majestic energy fluctuation suddenly erupted from the cave, containing extremely strong fire attribute power and a special aura.

"Have you broken through to the fifth realm?"

Fire Ape's sensory ability is quite good. Thinking of the killer judge he saw before, his eyes can't help but become a little weird. Did that guy really only have a four-level cultivation before?
In any case, the breath of breakthrough coming from the cave at this moment indicates that it is really the news of a successful breakthrough from the four realms to the five realms, which also makes the violent fire monkey have more thoughts in his heart.

What Rao Huoyuan feared was not the four realms of this young human being, but the big demon black cat that killed the strong man of the six realms like a chicken. As long as that black cat was around, he would not dare to act rashly.
