The devil is coming

Chapter 784 Here Comes
On the eighth day, the Chu army's siege ended.
Qu Peiluo was sitting on a chair, and Fan Zhengwen was helping him bandage the wound on his shoulder.
When the fighting was going on during the day, Qu Peiluo was hugged by a Chu soldier and was almost thrown off the city wall. Fortunately, a family member named Qu beside him was able to protect him and risked his own life to help Qu Peiluo stop this attack. .
No sadness, no sorrow. Here, few people would have the leisure to have any feelings of remembrance for the dead Pao Ze. Those who died in the battle were just taking the first step and waiting for themselves in front.
Today, it was very difficult to guard, and the feeling was almost the same as the first day.
It's like a circle, drawn out, and finally drawn back.
Fan Zhengwen did a good job in appeasing the people in the city, and also did a good job in rewarding the army. He did everything he could;
There is nothing wrong with Qu Peiluo's command. He fixes any leaks when he sees them, like a paper framer, he responds quickly and does not slack off at all;
But the nature of war does not mean that you will definitely win if you make no mistakes. It also depends on what your opponent is like.
Under the rapid attack of the regular army of Da Chu for eight consecutive days, it is really not easy for Fan City, a city guarded by a mob, to hold on until now.
In history, those cities that often held on for months, half a year or even longer were mostly because the siege party wanted to trap and exhaust the people in the city, and did not attack continuously for days.
After the bandage was finished, Fan Zhengwen went down and personally brought a basin of hot water with two towels hanging in it.
Qu Peiluo closed his eyes,
Fan Zhengwen personally wiped his face with a towel.
When he threw the towel into the basin again, the blood stain had spread.
Fan Zhengwen was not afraid of trouble and brought a new towel to help Qu Peiluo dry the water stains on his face.
Qu Peiluo then slowly opened his eyes.
Then, wash your hands;
Finally, Fan Zhengwen came over with dishes, three dishes, one soup, and a pot of wine.
When Fan Zhengwen was about to pour wine, Qu Peiluo reached out to pick up the wine pot and filled the wine bowl.
Then, he took the wine bottle and placed it in front of Fan Zhengwen.
Fan Zhengwen was stunned for a moment, smiled, stretched out his hand to pick up the wine bowl, and the two touched it.
The head of the Fan family lowered his wine bowl so low that he basically only touched the bottom of the wine pot.
Qu Peiluo raised his head and took a big sip.
Fan Zhengwen raised his head and took a big sip. Then he choked and started coughing violently.
"Ha ha."
Qu Peiluo smiled,
"You are a slave doing business, but your ability to drink is so bad."
"When I reach the level of the Fan family, I don't bother to greet the people below. As a slave, I don't have the right to sit and drink with the people above."
Qu Peiluo stopped after a brief taste, put down the wine bottle, and said:
"I probably won't be able to hold on tomorrow, so tonight..."
"What do you want to do tonight, young master?"
"Prepare the Chu army to attack at night."
……
The Chu people launched a night attack tonight.
But because Fan Cheng was on guard, he was repulsed.
That's what a night attack is. Without sudden support, it will be difficult to achieve any effect.
"You said that we probably won't be able to defend it tomorrow, but the Chu army on the opposite side doesn't even want us to see the sun tomorrow." Fan Zhengwen said with emotion.
"Okay, next..."
Fan Zhengwen looked serious and said, "What are you going to do next?"
"eat supper."
……
Sunrise East.
Nian Yao was wearing armor and standing in front of the army.
After several days of siege, the number of the mob under his command not only did not decrease with the consumption of the siege battle, but instead doubled.
That's the thing about mobs. When you're on the winning side, they tend to snowball.
The Dugu family's army is in the south and attacks the city on a large scale every day. General Nian is in the north. Although the siege momentum is not as strong as the front, the flag is bright.
Furthermore, if Chu Di Cao Mang and local snakes want to take advantage of the situation, they also know that no matter how downcast they are, they are still not able to squeeze into the real aristocratic circle. In comparison, General Nian's background seems It’s extremely “people-friendly”.
"Eight days."
Nian Yao looked at the city wall in front of him;
He originally thought that borrowing the road from Jin to Mengshan would be the most time-consuming and dangerous part of his plan. After this part was over, Fan City would be at his fingertips.
But I didn't expect to be delayed here for so long.
The planned crispness did not appear, which made Nian Yao feel a little regretful.
"General?"
The Eighth Prince has been staying with Nian Yao.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, we will be almost ready to enter the city this afternoon."
……
South of Fancheng,
The white-haired Dugu Mu beat the drum himself.
After eight consecutive days of siege, even though he had many soldiers and horses under his command and could rotate them appropriately, it still made his soldiers extremely tired.
The young man who once said those shameless words in front of him did give him a big surprise.
but,
That's it.
If it was Qu's Qingluan Army that was defending Fan City, then he would probably have no choice but to be trapped in the isolated city and wait for the food and grass in the city to run out.
unfortunately,
What this young man has under his command is not the Qingluan Army.
Although Qu's Qingluan Army has a small establishment, it has always followed the route of elite soldiers and strong generals.
During the first battle of Wangjiang, the eldest prince tried to turn the tide with a powerful attack, but was pushed back by the Qingluan army, and Li Bao died in the battle.
Later, King Jingnan surrounded the city with an earthen wall, trapping the elite force to death and not giving them a chance to counterattack on the frontal battlefield.
As for the Qingluan army defeated by Lord Zheng during the battle against Chu, it was actually rebuilt in a hurry, and its strength and quality were not at the same level as the one led by Qu Tiannan.
The Qingluan Army, which was once known as the first step in Chu, has been wiped out by the wind.
Qu Shi,
It should be over too.
Dugu Mu, who was beating the drum, let out a loud shout:
"Go on!"
……
The offensive and defensive parties' predictions of the battlefield situation were all correct.
On this day,
The southern wall of Fan City was finally lost.
The Chu army kept climbing up, but the defenders were no longer able to drive them down. They could only watch the number of Chu troops on the wall increasing, and at the same time, the defenders were being pushed back.
Soon, like an avalanche, the situation was completely suppressed.
The Chu army began to clear the city wall extremely quickly, and subsequent Chu armies also continued to come up.
Qu Peiluo did not choose to gather the broken troops and then attack, but decisively chose to retreat into Fan Mansion in the city with the men around him who could still command.
Fan Mansion is beautiful and exquisite.
On weekdays, there are many masters hiding there. Any young person who dares to get close to this place will definitely end up in a miserable state.
But when Xiao Xiao was replaced by Da Chu's army, Fan's exquisiteness became a burden that broke his arms.
It is not a Wubao. The reason for retreating here is because everyone has tacitly chosen this place to die in the final battle, not because they can rely on it to do anything.
The ancestor of the Fan family was dressed in a red skirt. He set up a table and sat cross-legged on it.
In front of him, all the female family members of Fan Mansion, including the famous Jin Chai of Fan Mansion, were also kneeling there, but no one was crying. They had been defending the city for days. Although they did not go to the real front line, they had been guarding the city. The backstage was busy, and the emotional preparations had already been made. Many people were actually numb.
The Fan family, the last forces in Fan City, are all moving closer to Fan Mansion.
Fan Zhengwen is also back,
He saw his ancestors.
"The Fan family is finally done by you."
"Are our ancestors going to immolate themselves directly?"
The ancestor rolled his eyes at Fan Zhengwen angrily and said: "Although there have been rumors in the world about how terrible the fighting skills of Qi refiners are, but even if I am going to die, I have to support him before I die."
"both?"
Qu Peiluo also retreated in with his men at this time, holding a shield in his left hand and a sword in his right hand.
Fan Zhengwen and myself, aren't they just two people?
Of course, this was just a last-minute joke.
At this time, when death is imminent, people will naturally become more frivolous, and some emotional things will be magnified unconsciously.
"You two are already going to die, can you still hope to survive?"
immediately,
The ancestor looked at Qu Peiluo and said with a smile:
"I really didn't expect that at the end of my life, I would have to die with my master's family."
Qu Peiluo nodded with a smile, then turned around and ordered: "Form up a formation. If you can block it for a while, it's enough to pull one more before you die."
Fan Zhengwen looked at the women at home and asked, "Bai Ling is all ready. When the time comes, I urge you to get on your way first."
The ancestor shouted:
"Don't be afraid. You go down first to warm the kang and cook the food. Gentlemen, you will be down soon."
The female relatives did not cry, but responded in unison.
If they don't commit suicide and survive, the only thing waiting for them is life worse than death.
At this time, as the Chu troops continued to pour into Fan City, the first batch of organized Chu troops began to attack Fan Mansion. There were also sounds of fighting outside Fan Mansion.
The ancestor leaped up. She was dressed in red and looked extremely dazzling at this moment. She flew over the heads of her own people. When she landed, her sleeves were lifted twice, and several Chu soldiers were directly overturned.
But soon, two arrows were shot, and the ancestor's expression changed.
"Dong dong!"
Qu Peiluo held his shield in front of him and blocked the arrow.
"Thank you, Master. I almost died as soon as I came out. It's so embarrassing."
Qu Peiluo did not reply to his ancestor’s words.
Instead, he shouted to the back:
"Where is the dog slave!"
Later, the head of the Fan family raised his voice and shouted:
"The slave is here!"
"Put up the flag for me!"
"The slave obeys!"
Fan Zhengwen was not good at kung fu or physically strong, but he was still able to hold up a flag. A Qingluan Army flag embroidered with Qu's clan emblem was erected.
When they saw this flag, the attacking Chu army also stopped.
Qu Peiluo dropped his shield and clenched the knife in his hands with both hands. Around him, the last group of dozens of Qu's disciples who had been following him gathered.
"Brothers, I wanted to give you wealth, but I made a mistake. When I get down there, I won't care about you anymore, so don't come to settle accounts with me.
The ancestors of the Qu family have to line up to beat me, the unworthy descendant of the Qu family. It's not your turn! "
"Hahaha!"
"Hahahaha!"
this moment,
Qu Peiluo's mind flashed back to the scene when his father, Qu Tiannan, went on an expedition. On his wedding day, he brought a group of white horse knights to welcome him. The scene on the green beach where he knelt down, holding a knife and preparing to marry, appeared in his mind. Suicide scene.
died,
It's all over once and for all.
Pity,
I really want to hold the baby she gave birth to.
"Ahhhhh!!!!!!"
Qu Peiluo roared:
"Qingluan Army, advance!"
.........
"General, the city in the south has been breached!"
"General, we are in trouble here too!"
"General, they have entered the city!"
"Hahaha, you can write a note for Brother Huang."
The Eighth Prince could not restrain his excitement and almost started dancing.
These days of fighting are a great torture for both the offensive and defensive sides.
After all, the Chu army still had the shackles of congratulating the regent on his enthronement, and no one dared to delay.
Nian Yao looked at the Eighth Prince and felt little excitement in his heart.
The latest information north of Mengshan has just been sent.
The Yan people did not choose to launch an offensive against Mengshan, nor did they want to open up the mountain road to support Fan City.
This is very unusual,
Did the Yan people just give up on Fan City when they knew it was impossible to rescue them?
Nian Yao immediately stretched his waist.
Road:
"That's right, Tian Wujing left for the West, the Yan people changed emperors, the previous generation left, and the next generation will no longer have that atmosphere."
……
To the south of Fan City, I saw that my soldiers began to mount the city wall one by one, and saw that the originally blocked city entrance was being cleared.
Dugu Mu finally sat back on his handsome seat.
Finally, I got it.
A general next to him brought a ginseng stick, and Dugu Mu reached out to take it, took a bite, and sipped it in his mouth.
This general is called Dugu Nian, a talent from the Dugu family. In his early years, he served in the Royal Forbidden Army and worked under Nian Yao. For this expedition, it was Dugu Mu who made the decision and asked him to be transferred back to him.
"A Nian."
"grandfather."
"The matter here is over. Grandpa, it's time for me to retreat. From now on, I will leave the troops of our Dugu family to you."
"Grandpa is not old."
"We can't stay here anymore. We have to show dignity to His Majesty, and only then can His Majesty give us dignity. You can keep one of these soldiers and horses, and leave the rest to the court for dismantling. It doesn't matter if it goes to the local army or to the Royal Imperial Guards. .
It’s time to take a step back, it’s time to take a step back.
There is only so much that grandpa can do. From now on, it will be up to your generation to stand up and assist Your Majesty in protecting the country of Chu people like me. "
"Grandpa, don't worry, your grandson will definitely live up to grandpa's expectations."
"Ah."
At this time, another messenger came to report, but the remnants in the city were still resisting.
Dugu Nian smiled and said: "They are still fighting in a trapped beast, struggling to the death. I really don't know what the meaning of their persistence is."
"They are hoping that the Yan people will come to rescue them."
"Grandpa, no matter how powerful this Yan man is and he can't fly, how could he possibly be saved in time..."
"woo woo woo woo!!!!!!"
Suddenly a trumpet sounded;
Immediately, the sound of rolling thunder came from behind.
Dugu Mu stood up suddenly and looked behind him.
Behind the army, behind the camp, dust rose all over the sky, and in the dust, there seemed to be ten thousand drums singing in unison.
"Tiger!"
"Tiger!"
"Tiger!"
immediately,
Groups of knights in black armor roared out of the dust and mist, connecting dots and forming surfaces, boundless and beyond sight!
The black dragon flag and the double-headed eagle flag fluttered in the wind among the army, like the ferocious fangs of a ferocious beast!
Yan Jun,
coming!
