Family practice: all members of the villain

Chapter 298 The Xiongyun Gang is vulnerable

The sixth day of the twelfth lunar month in the year 1325 of the New Yu Calendar
Yinling County, Chishui County

At the gate tower of the east city, Shen Gufan was dressed in white, looking to the east.

The three middle-aged military generals, wearing strong armor and strong swords, have tall and straight postures and calm auras. They look at the official road outside the city with vigilant faces, their eyes like torches.

On all sides of the city gate, soldiers wearing armor and holding sharp blades looked solemn. Even if the blood on their bodies was not stimulated, they only occasionally released auras to gather together, and their momentum should not be underestimated.

"Master, I think it's almost time. The young master should have already led troops to attack the city."

The voice of the general on the left was rough, which was consistent with his burly figure. After hearing his words, Shen Gufan did not look back, but just said "hmm" softly, and continued to stare eastward.

Seeing this, the general on the right showed a trace of confusion and asked in a low voice: "Master, all [-] elites are here to guard Hexi. Let's pass it. The Hou family has only risen for five years and has limited foundation. We need the help of Zhan Taiqing to occupy the territory." A piece of Hexi is already unworthy of morality, and if you still dare to attack us rashly, aren't you looking for death?"

"The invincible lies with oneself, but the victorious lies with the enemy. Therefore, those who are good at fighting should first become invincible, then wait for the enemy to become victorious!"

After Shen Gufan read a paragraph, he turned around, looked at the confused expressions of the two people behind him, and sighed immediately.

Shen's 15-strong army, [-] elites are the top priority. The five people who lead this elite are all Third Realm Grandmasters. Two of them, Zhang Yu and Nie Cheng, are his direct disciples, and the other three are They are members of the Shen clan who are of the same generation as him, namely the three people in front of him, Gu Zhen, Gu Kang, and Gu Peng.

A Grandmaster of the Third Realm, commanding an elite force of ten thousand people, must have enough cultivation to be able to fight in an army, but his ability to plan strategies has little to do with cultivation. It has to be said that these three members of this family are closely related to each other. Compared to his two disciples, they were still a bit inferior, which is why he sent those two to follow his son to fight in Fucheng and left these three with him.

After all, they are still their own family members. Even if they are not good, they still have to rely on them. Shen Gufan quickly adjusted his mentality and spoke to the two of them:
"Invincible, the key lies not in me, Shen, but in the enemy. If there is no problem in the battle of Fucheng, we only need to ensure two factors. With these two points, our Shen family will be invincible. If we are invincible, we will win.

The Xiongyun Gang has been firmly at the top of the city over the years, and we all know how much wealth it has. Without a city protection barrier, it is wishful thinking to rely on those 18 miscellaneous fish to defend Shen's 12-strong army, so the first factor , has been formed.

But this second point is something we cannot grasp. The Xiongyun Gang and the Hou family are a separate family. No matter who they are, I don’t take them seriously. Once these two families unite, we will not be able to do it. Once the Hou family joins the war, we will The Shen family will be attacked from both sides, so this uncontrollable factor must be treated with caution. This is why I will take you to Chishui County. "

"What the head of the family means is that Fucheng's side can ensure victory no matter what the situation is, but whether the Hou family will participate in the war or not is still a mystery, so we need to take it more seriously?"

Hearing the words of Shen Guzhen, the commander of the first battalion, Shen Gufan nodded, with a trace of satisfaction in his eyes. But at this time, Shen Gukang, the commander of the second battalion, asked with a puzzled face: "When he established the mansion in Hexi, didn't the Hou family promise? Won’t you participate in the fight between us and the Xiongyun Gang?”

"The most worthless thing in this world is the promise. The Hou family can rise to become the lord of Hexi in just four years. Although it is borrowed from the wind of the Raksha Sacred Sect, it must not be underestimated. Be careless and eat by yourself." It’s okay if you lose a little bit, but it’s not good if you’re afraid that it will bring disaster to the family…”

These words were serious enough to bring the family into ruin. The expressions of the three of them suddenly became solemn, and they nodded and said, "I will definitely bear in mind the words of the head of the family!"

"Of course, my Shen family has been rooted in the land of Sanling for thousands of years. The Xiongyun Gang and the Hou family are not a strong opponent. As long as Hexi is slow for a moment, when good news comes from Fucheng, the four counties in Hexi will fall under my Shen family's control. It's only a matter of time before the Shen family takes control of the two mansions. It won't be long before they capture the Jianye mansion, and the entire Xiayuan Dao will be ours!"

When the three of them heard Shen Gufan's words, their eyes suddenly became hot. The Supreme Being was the standard for a prefecture-level power. If it was true as the head of the family said, the Shen family would officially be among the most famous families in the world.

"No, Patriarch, if we really unify Xiayuan Dao, will the Rakshasa Holy Sect not care about it? Even if they don't care about it, doesn't it mean that Linghai Demon Sect doesn't care about it either?"

Hearing Shen Yukang's inquiry, the other two people nodded and looked at Shen Gufan.

The only prefecture-level power in the original Xiayuan Dao was the Linghai Demon Sect, but now it is entrenched in the Xiayuan Dao City to the west of Jianye Mansion. How could the Linghai Demon Sect, the only earth-level power in Tao, allow the Shen family to become powerful?
However, there was no trace of worry on Shen Gufan's face, he just showed a mysterious smile, looked at the three of them, and said in a low voice: "Don't worry, the Linghai Demon Sect can't control it, and it doesn't have the strength, let us!"

Linghai Demon Sect has no strength to control...

What does it mean?
The eyes of the three people were full of doubts, but seeing that Shen Gufan obviously didn't want to say more, they didn't ask, but continued to cast their sights on the official road to the west.

"Half an hour has passed. It's time for the scout to come back and report!"

As soon as Shen Gufan finished speaking, a horse galloped from the official road. Whether there was any movement on the other side of Hexi was certainly not something they could see with their naked eyes. As early as the day the army arrived in Chishui County, the entire area from the west of Chishui County to the territory of Hexi , countless Shen's scouts have been deployed along the way, and they will deliver news every half an hour, in order to detect the movements in Hexi, so as not to prepare in advance.

"Report, there is nothing unusual along the official road!"

The scout's news was still the same as before, Shen Gufan was slightly relieved.

"There are rumors from the outside that Hou Yuxiao is very resourceful. Now it seems that it is indeed a bit exaggerated. At a time when the Holy Cult is retreating and the lower Yuan Dao is fighting for supremacy, the Hou family clings to Hexi in order to be stable for a while, which will only lead to greater disasters. The Five Tigers of the Hou family, huh!"

Up to now, there has been no movement in the official circles, and Shen Gufan can basically be sure that the Hou family does not intend to intervene in the battle for the city. Although this is beneficial to the Shen family, he inevitably has more contempt for the Hou family in his heart.

"This is a despicable little tribe that just got some luck. Sooner or later, Hexi will be ours!"

"Speaking of which, the Five Tigers of the Hou family are nicknames given by the family master to the five Hou clan members. The five people have become famous during this period. They probably don't know that the family master is paralyzing them."

"Hahahaha, the master of the house is really smart..."

Shen Gufan showed a hint of complacency on his face, "Five Tigers of the Hou Family" is of course a top hat he put on for the five members of the Hou family, and they did intend to paralyze the Hou family's nerves, and now it seems that it really worked, these five people I'm afraid I really thought that I was afraid of them, thinking that as long as the Hou family did not intervene in the battle for the city, the Shen family would not touch Hexi. It was simply stupid!
………………

In the dense forest to the west of the east gate, on top of a big tree, three figures are hidden behind the mottled leaves. The man in the center has a man and a woman on the left and right. The conversation at the east gate of Chishui County is complete. into the ears of the three.

The burly man on the left couldn't help but sneered twice, looked back at the man in the middle and said with a smile: "Brother, this Shen Gufan seems to look down on you a little!"

"Gee, the fifth brother is still smart. Some time ago, he strictly ordered the clan not to spread the theory of the Five Tigers of the Hou Men. It seems that he has long seen that Shen Gufan has evil intentions."

After hearing the words of the second and third elders, Hou Yuxiao shook his head slightly, glanced at Shen Gufan and the other four people on the east gate, with a glint in his eyes, and said seriously:
"The invincible lies with oneself, but the victorious lies with the enemy. Therefore, those who are good at fighting should first be invincible before waiting for the enemy to be victorious. Being able to say this sentence is enough to show that Shen Gufan is not simple!"

When Hou Yucheng and Hou Yuling heard this, their expressions suddenly became much more serious.

Hou Yucheng nodded and said: "The city is obviously sure of victory, but it can still put [-] elites in Chishui County to guard us. Shen Gufan acts carefully and cautiously. No wonder Shen can hide so much as a second-rate force in Jinling." Over the years, if the Rakshasa Holy Cult had not withdrawn, and the Shen family had been allowed to develop secretly for a few more years, it might have become a serious problem for our Hou family!"

Hou Yuling nodded, his expression moved, and he asked softly: "Brother, Shen Gufan just said that Linghai Demon Sect can't take care of it, and it doesn't have the strength to take care of his Shen family's affairs. He should be referring to his Shen family, You Lei Does Otodera support you?"

"It must be true. Linghai Demon Sect is a prefecture-level force and the master of Xiayuan Dao City. With Shen's current strength, Shen Gufan dares to say such things. He must be relying on the support of Leiyin Temple. Pu The 12-strong army in Ning County is able to walk in the wilderness, presumably with the Xuanjie masters from Leiyin Temple accompanying the army, but Shen Gufan is really strict with his words, and he still refuses to let go in front of his family members."

After hearing the conversation between the two, Hou Yuxiao looked at the many elites of the Shen family standing on the wall of Chishui County, and his expression flickered. There must not be many masters of the Leiyin Temple in the Shen family at present, otherwise there would be no need to guard against Hexi. , Mo Xuzi said that there were too many monks in Leiyin Temple, and they had to be divided into several groups to go south from Jizhou. This was the only opportunity he could take advantage of at the moment.

He just lowered his head and thought for a moment, and finally took a deep look at Shen Gufan on the city gate tower, turned his head and said: "If my Hou family's strength is really what it seems to the outside world, these [-] elites will be more than enough to defend us. Yes, he is smart, and he curried favor with Leiyin Temple. This Shen Gufan can be regarded as having a foresight, but it is a pity that he only missed the real strength of my Hou family, which is not what he thought!"

After saying this, Hou Yuxiao immediately pulled the second and third children to evacuate to the east. Hou Yucheng and Hou Yuling only had the cultivation level of a heaven-level grandmaster, and they relied on him to cover up to avoid Shen Gufan. After a long time, It's not good to show your weakness.

"Brother, our [-] Red Flame Army are already on standby in the wilderness area fifteen miles east of Chishui County. We are galloping to Chishui County at full speed. It only takes less than a stick of incense. The so-called elite of the Shen family is like a mantis trying to fight against us. What are you waiting for? Let’s attack the city directly?”

Hou Yucheng couldn't wait to call for the battle, but Hou Yuxiao didn't get a response. He shook his head, signaled Hou Yucheng to be calm, and said slowly: "Don't worry. When you kill the enemy, you should take a long-term view. The mere Shen Shi That’s it, we still have stronger enemies. Counting the time, the fourth and fifth sons should have arrived in Fucheng, right?”

"The speed of the 11-strong army is not as fast as ours, but they have already set off for two days, and they are almost there. Brother, you want to wait until the Xiongyun Gang and Shen's other 12-strong army are almost ready before taking action. So that it can be settled once and for all?”

Hou Yuxiao shook his head, but did not say anything clearly. After thinking for a moment, he said: "Let's wait for another half day. Half a day should be enough for Fucheng to finish. It will be too slow to wait for Lao Wu to send the news back. It will take another six hours." , the time is right, attack the city!"

After finishing speaking, a continuous bright red color appeared in front of Hou Yuxiao and the others. They were more than [-] elite soldiers riding black horses, wearing fiery red armor, and holding high-quality sharp blades. They all had solemn faces and full of vitality. Full, the lowest level of cultivation is the tenth level of Kaishen. Together, they are like a sea of ​​fire in the wilderness.

It is said that so many elite soldiers gather together, even if they don't release their energy and blood, they are as bright as lights in the dark night, but what is strange is that the wild creatures around the [-] army seem to be completely invisible. Only by accidentally walking into the middle of the army can you feel this suffocating pressure of blood.

Hou Yuxiao took a look inside his sea of ​​consciousness and looked at the karma values ​​that were being consumed on the gold page of merit, with a hint of satisfaction in his eyes.

According to this rhythm, as long as there is war, the karma value should not be afraid of being high.

........................

Xingnan Fucheng, west gate.

noon
"Kill..."

"Come up to me, anyone who dares to run away, I will definitely kill you."

"Destroy the city and kill these brats from the Xiongyun Gang!"

"The two counties of Jiu Falcon and Yuzhao have been defeated. As long as we capture Fucheng, the whole territory of Xingnan will be in the hands of my Shen family. Brothers, if you try harder, they won't be able to withstand it anymore."

"Come on..."

"Fire all the crossbows. The first one to stand on the city wall will receive a reward of a thousand taels!"

"What kind of city is top-notch, the Xiongyun Gang is simply vulnerable, hahaha!"

...............

The thundering sound of rushing and killing has drowned out the east gate, and countless soldiers have become entangled under the broken city gate.

It is not true to say that it is the most primitive hacking and killing, because the soldiers on both sides of the city defending and attacking the city display various martial arts; but it is not right to say that the warriors are fighting each other, because the scope of fighting is too large and the number of people is too large. If you don't keep a close eye on one or two of them and look at the whole from a distance, this is a chaotic melee.

Having said that, judging from the broken city gates and the roars of the soldiers on the battlefield, the attacking side obviously has the upper hand. If you look more carefully, you will find that regardless of the soldiers on the attacking side, Both the armor they wore and the weapons in their hands were much better than those defending the city. Even the rhythm of their attacks was consistent. It was obvious that military discipline and quality were better than those defending the city.

Under the overlapping of the three, many people could almost see signs of defeat on the side of the city defenders. Some of the city defenders had even begun to flee towards the flanks and the city. This was not a good sign.

"Second brother, Shen's army of [-] is much stronger than ours. We can't hold on. Let's join forces and capture Shen Yutian first. Maybe we can stop the decline!"

Wan Renfeng beheaded at least dozens of people before stopping the spread of the soldiers fleeing. Hearing what his third brother Wan Renshan said, he turned his head to look at the five or six people riding on horses at the rear of the siege army. It was the young-looking man in the middle, with a cold look in his eyes.

A first-level Yuan Dan master, two heavenly masters, two third-level vitality masters, and the last one, Shen Yutian, only has the cultivation of a second-level master. There is indeed hope for him to join forces with the third, but the problem is that , if Shen Yutian cannot be captured in a short period of time, the city gate will inevitably be lost. If the city is broken, it will be irreparable.

"The east gate has been broken, and the Shen family's [-] elite troops have entered the city. The gang leader is in urgent need of support!"

While he was hesitating, a voice suddenly came from the east, which made Wan Renfeng's already chaotic mind suddenly twitch again. He pulled Lao San Wanrenshan and without hesitation, rushed directly to the rear of Shen's army.

The east gate is guarded by eldest brother Wan Renjue personally with [-] elites. If it is defeated, it will almost declare the battle of the city. It is the Xiongyun Gang who failed. If they still want to make a comeback at this time, the only way is to capture Shen Yutian. The young master of the family.
