The Demon Soul is Coming

() (Ask for tickets, ask for tickets.)

Chu Duancheng raised his head in astonishment: "Old lady???"

The old lady knocked on the ground with a crutch, and said angrily: "Don't you listen to me? Open the city gate, open the gate, open the gate..."

Unexpectedly, the old lady would issue such an order, Chu Duancheng hesitated, and said in a low voice: "If the old lady is worried that they will destroy the city and slaughter the palace, it is unnecessary. They want to control the outer city and attack the dragon palace." , no amount of troops is enough, here is very safe..."

A sneer came suddenly.

Then came the voices of many children:

"He said it's safe here?"

"Of course it's safe here."

"Why is it so safe here?"

"Because this is no longer Dragon Palace." ..

"It's not Dragon Palace, what is it?"

"It's a blood prison, this is a blood prison..."

The sky was dark, the stars and the moon were dark, and a child's voice came from an illusory direction: "The sky is empty, the ground is spirited, people's heads are falling, the gate of ghosts is open, the river of blood flows endlessly, the princess of extermination of blood... "

Chu Duancheng broke out in a cold sweat.

At the same time, in the hall behind the old lady.

Chu Leying, Chu Jian, Wen Lu, and a large number of men and women from the direct descendants of the Chu Clan fell on the ground in two rows, each with a small cup on their head.Their faces were pale, and they trembled when they heard the singing outside, but they didn't dare to move, for fear that the small cup on their heads would fall off.

After the case, a blind girl with blurred eyes was holding a big jade cup and drinking scented tea slowly... How superficial!

***

The closed palace door was slowly opened.

Xia Yingchen personally led the army and rushed into the palace. Soon, all the walls and arrow towers in the palace fell into the hands of Xu Dongjun.

Entering the Hall of Xihe, I saw all the young masters, ladies, wives and aunts of the Chu family kneeling there.With the jade cup on his head, he was panicked, and another woman among them was paralyzed on the ground like muddy flesh.The blood flowed all over the ground, probably because the jade cup on the head fell in panic and was punished by Youyou.

Just looking at her end, everyone is terrified.

Xia Yingchen looked around.Worry is no longer here.

She naturally knew that Youyou didn't like her, just as she didn't like Youyou either.

Xia Yingchen paced.Come to Chu Leying.

"Princess," Chu Leying is the eldest lady in charge after all. Among these people, she is more assertive and courageous.She whispered, "My younger brother and sister are pregnant, and she is weak. If this continues, I'm afraid the fetus will move. Can you let her get up?"

Xia Yingchen looked at Wen Lu, and saw that her belly was slightly distended, as if she was indeed pregnant.

Wen Lu's face was golden and white.His body was shaking, and he couldn't hold on anymore.

Xia Yingchen slowly raised his hand, five-color brilliance flashed on the palm of his hand, and with a sudden wave, the long sleeves flicked, and the wind swayed, and the small cups on everyone's heads floated up inexplicably, and were invisible The wind carried it around the beam and landed neatly on the table.

Just this one move has already revealed her amazing strength beyond ordinary master-level masters, advancing by leaps and bounds.

She said coldly: "Get up."

Although it was just a cold sound, some of the people in the hall fell limp and some were sobbing.Wen Lu leaned and fell to the ground, Chu Leying hurriedly supported her.

Xia Yingchen didn't say much, turned around, and stepped out of the hall like this...

***

Xia Yingchen, Liu Sang, Zhao Wugeng, Qiu Danyang, and He Xiang stood at the top of the city.

At this moment, Xia Yingchen has changed into a different attire, wearing a purple dress embroidered with phoenix and a morning baby jade crown on his head. He looks heroic, bright and moving.

Liu Sang is also wearing a long crown and brocade clothes, long shoes and feather fans, dressed as if Wu Qi was reborn.

The reason why the two of them are dressed so gorgeously and conspicuously is also due to Qiu Danyang's suggestion. Although they have already occupied Youyi City, if they want to calm down the scene in the shortest time, they must make people feel that they are not only The savior of Nanyuan is also the savior of Hezhou, so instead of being low-key, he has to be more high-profile. Coupled with auspiciousness, Wu Taboo, Xia Yingchen's already famous momentum in Hezhou and Xu Dongjun's current power, it makes people Build confidence in them.

Since Yinyue Xuanxuan led the Xuanyu Corps to guard outside the city last night, all the spies or cavalry who left the city were all removed. At this moment, the news of the capture of Youyi City has not yet spread to the front, and the battle situation in Lushan continues. was sent over.

Liu Sang said: "Although the 2 people fell into ambush and were trapped by the army led by Duke Yu of Chu, they set up a formation in the army. Duke Yu of Chu surrounded them on all sides and continued to attack them, but they were still unable to wipe them out."

Xia Yingchen's eyes fluttered: "Soldier formation?"

Qiu Danyang said: "The so-called military formation is the formation of military strategists. It plays an extraordinary role with its unique layout and formation. However, the military formation also has its natural limitations, which are extremely beneficial to the time and place. High requirements, and those who set up the formation must be elite soldiers and fierce generals, coupled with long-term training and positioning, if the team is drawn by bandits or bandits, let them force the formation, but it is easy to mess up. Before the enemy rushed to them, they were already defeated. Soldiers can be divided into three types: offensive formations, defensive formations, and peaceful formations. Most of the ones handed down today are defensive formations. Soldiers formations have their strengths on the battlefield. But it also has its obvious limitations, and the biggest flaw is that it needs enough time to complete the formation."

Xia Yingchen said: "Mr. Chu Yu actually allowed the enemy to successfully deploy troops in his encirclement?"

Liu Sang shook his head and said: "When Chu Yugong learned that Jin Jian's army was dispatched to attack Lushan, he wanted to eat the trapped 2 people first, and also wanted to block Jin Jian first, and then slowly wipe out these people. However, he chose the latter, but left these people with the opportunity to form a formation, and turned these turtles that fell into the urn into sharp knives that pierced his abdomen. This time, he really wanted to be defeated. No."

News from the front continued to come in, the battle between the two sides was tense, Chu Yugong even sent people back to Youyi City, and wanted to ask Qiu Danyang to help break the formation, but the person who came was naturally beheaded.In the evening, the news of Nanyuan Army's defeat finally came, and this was naturally expected by Liu Sang and others.

……

***

The horse's hooves crushed the sun in the evening, and Chu Yugong led the remnants of the defeated army to Youyi City.

At this moment, his heart was filled with grief. Lushan was finally captured by the Western Navy, and his eldest son Chu Tiancheng fled back to Youyi City to protect him.He also died under Jin Jian's "Wu Gou Po Moon Method".

The defeated army rushed to the gate of the city, Fang Yu shouted and opened the gate, and suddenly saw that the military flag had been changed on the top of the city.

Chu Yugong planned a heroic move.Holding the Yanyue Broadsword in hand, he flew forward, looking at the banner at the top of the city, wondering and uncertain.

But I saw the height of the city.A young man came out and said loudly: "Don't you come here alright, Duke Chu?"

Chu Yugong shouted angrily: "Liu Sang!!!"

The young man said, "Duke Chu, why did you call me?"

The others squinted at him...you're tall!

Chu Yugong gritted his teeth: "You actually broke your promise and took away my Youyi City?"

"Treacherous?" A stunning woman in a jade crown and purple clothes came out.With a sneer, "Chu Yugong, are you ashamed to say these four words? I, Xu Dong, have repeatedly helped you, but you want to use me and my husband as bait to put us to death. If it weren't for God's blessing, my husband and I would have been killed by you." Killed. You actually have the nerve to call me treacherous?"

She is naturally Xia Yingchen.

Chu Yugong was speechless.

Liu Sang sighed: "Although Duke Chu is not benevolent, I will not be as unrighteous as Duke Chu. Jin Jian's army is coming soon. Duke Chu only needs to enter the city. We will definitely protect Duke Chu with all our strength. With Duke Chu as the leader, we will fight together. Enemy army." He ordered: "Open the door."

Pulling the iron chain, the heavy city gate slowly opened, and at dusk, there was a bloody mouth like a giant beast.

Liu Sang said, "Duke Chu, please come in."

Chu Yugong has an ugly face, how dare he enter?

Forgive him for not having the guts to come in, Liu Sang called again: "Is General Ximen here, Ximen Chang?"

Simon often rode out from the defeated army, holding a spear in his hand, covered in dust, and was extremely embarrassed.

Liu Sang said in a loud voice: "He who knows the current affairs is a hero. Chu Yugong has done many injustices. Today, he is just a cocoon. Why don't General Ximen submit to me, Xu Dong, and serve the country loyally and save the country and the people together?"

Ximen Chang snorted coldly and was about to speak.

But Liu Sang said again: "No matter how the general answers, you'd better think it over first." With a clap of his hands, a group of people were pushed to the top of the wall, these people were male and female, the young people who were pushed at the front It turned out to be Ximen Wei Xu, the young master of the Ximen family.

Simon often hesitated.

Ximen Wei Xu had his hands tied behind his back, knelt on the top of the wall, and screamed miserably, "Father, don't worry about me!"

Liu Sang sighed: "Brother Wei Xu is a young hero with a bright future. Is General Ximen really planning to abandon him? As long as the general is willing to abandon the dark and turn to the bright, our army will treat the general well. Jin Jian's army is about to be killed. The general had better think about it as soon as possible." "Looking around again, he said loudly: "But if there are those who are willing to surrender, our army will definitely let the past go and continue to use it."

He Xiang turned from the other side and said loudly: "Brother, what else are you thinking about? Chu Yugong is cunning and cunning, and his spirit is already dead. Why should brother accompany him to die together?" His wife was born to Ximen Changshu Sister, I don't want to see Ximen often die here.

Ximen Chang was silent for a while, then let out a long sigh, dropped the spear in his hand, and rode his horse towards the city gate.The soldiers behind him hesitated at first, but when they thought about it, their family members were all in the city at this moment, not to mention if they didn't surrender and the enemy army was behind, where could they escape?Except for the members of the Chu family, the others followed suit.

Chu Yugong's complexion was extremely gloomy, his robe whistled, and his energy was curled wildly, showing the domineering aura of a master master, but on the top of the city, rows of crossbow carts were already aimed at him, as long as he made a rash move, It is ten thousand arrows piercing the heart.Finally, he gritted his teeth and had no choice but to turn around and lead the pitifully few soldiers around the city.

Xia Yingchen went down the steps and came to the gate of the city. Ximen Chang also came in and bowed down to her.Xia Yingchen stretched out his hand softly, lifted him up with a force, and said, "General Ximen doesn't need to be too polite. From now on, we will serve the country wholeheartedly, regardless of each other."

The so-called "serving the country with all my heart" is just empty words, but her words have already shown a soothing attitude. For the Ximen family, there is not much difference between being loyal to the Chu family and being loyal to the Xia family. Husband, Xia Qi is a prince, and Xia Yingchen is also a legitimate princess of the royal family. In addition, Ximen's family and Xia's family have no grudges in the past and have no grudges in the past, and they surrendered before the battle. The real damage is only a matter of face.

***

Ximen's family is the second family in Nanyuan after the Chu Clan.

Ximen Chang's surrender helped Liu Sang and Xia Yingchen stabilize the situation.

At the same time, the Xihai Navy led by Jin Jian had also reached the city and set up camp outside the city.

For Jin Jian, it is also difficult to express at this moment.Originally thought that the Nanyuan army headed by the Chu Clan would be defeated, and they would be able to take advantage of the situation and come with a burst of energy.Captured Youyi City, but did not expect that Xu Dong would take the lead.

Even Jin Jian didn't know how Xu Dongjun's nearly [-] troops managed to sneak under Youyi City without hurting his muscles or bones.Take complete control of the Winged City.

Since the attack on Nanyuan, they thought they could defeat the Chu Clan in one fell swoop, but they never expected that Tianwuling would be lost again.This made the battle far more difficult than imagined. In addition, fighting in the rainy season was already difficult. Although the Chu Clan was finally defeated and attacked under the Youyi City, the soldiers underneath suffered heavy casualties and were extremely tired. Finally, victory was imminent.Xu Dongjun rushed out suddenly, and immediately took the loot that was so easy to get. Although Jin Jian was angry, he was helpless.

***

The two armies were at a stalemate, and the Western Navy continued to place large catapults outside the city.

Dragon Palace.In the main hall, Xia Yingchen, Liu Sang, Qiu Danyang, Zhao Wugeng, Ximen Chang, He Xiang and others gathered to discuss the war.

He Xiang said: "There are as many as [-] large catapults outside the city, and they are still coming in continuously."

Xia Yingchen pondered for a moment, then looked at Qiu Danyang first: "What do you think, sir?"

Qiu Danyang brushed his short beard and said with a smile, "Don't worry, Jin Jian is just putting on a show."

He added: "Actually, it is Jin Jian who is really in trouble, not us. The Xihai Navy knows that we have not occupied Youyi City for a long time. If we attack the city now, there may still be some chances, but the Xihai Navy itself is currently tired. Unbearable. If he is in a hurry to attack the city, the soldiers under him will be exhausted, and a strong city like Youyi City will inevitably suffer a large number of casualties. At this moment, people are naturally tired of fighting. If he delays the attack, it will also let us have more It takes time to integrate our forces and further strengthen ourselves, the longer it is delayed, the harder it will be to conquer."

Liu Sang said with a smile: "Actually, the most important thing is that Jin Jian can't even besiege the city now. He just made a big attack on the west side, hoping that we will mess up our own positions. The only thing we have to do now is to stabilize the hearts of the people. On the one hand, announcing rent and tax cuts will do no harm to the people, which shows the difference from the Chu clan. If he didn’t dare to really attack the city, or if he really dared to risk heavy casualties and attack Youyi City by force, it would be his own death, and we should be happy.”

One of the generals said: "Since this is the case, can we show the enemy weakness and let Jin Jian attack Youyi City by force, and after he loses his troops and generals, we can turn around and destroy him?"

Liu Sang and Qiu Danyang scolded "idiots" inwardly, and Qiu Danyang said: "Not only should you not show weakness to the enemy, but you must show strength. This gesture is not for Jin Jian to see, but for the soldiers and civilians in the city and the surrounding areas. The counties and counties want to let everyone have confidence in us, and then, as long as Jin Jian retreats, each county can decide on its own."

Liu Sang said: "At this time, Jin Jian may not believe that our side is really weak by showing the enemy weakness, but the counties and counties who are still waiting and watching, and even those who count on us to fight against the Western Navy, may be afraid all of a sudden, and they all have Throwing to the West Navy is really showing weakness and showing weakness in the pit."

That would be red-faced.

While speaking, a soldier rushed in, knelt down and said, "Your Highness, military advisor..."

***

Xia Yingchen and Liu Sang led the generals to the top of the west city.

Wu Yigang had already been waiting here, and said, "Princess, military advisor, look..."

In the distance outside the city, camps were set up, and large catapults were scattered scattered.

In front of the camp, a group of cavalry dragged a corpse back and forth to show off, and groups of soldiers came out to insult the city in turn.

Looking at the corpse, Liu Sang said, "Isn't that Chu Yugong?"

Wu Yigang said, "Naturally."

Qiu Danyang said: "We let Chu Yugong escape because we hoped that Jin Jian would come and kill him, but we didn't expect Jin Jian to actually kill him."

Liu Sang said: "It may not be Jin Jian who killed him. If I were Jin Jian, I would only capture him alive. However, Chu Yugong is at the end of the road. Seeing that he has fallen into the enemy's hands, he may not have the face to live. Most of them committed suicide. Otherwise, Jin Jian will be fine." If you really want to kill him, beheading before the battle is better than this, and it can achieve the effect of showing off your power and intimidating us."

While speaking, the enemy set up a big pole, hung Chu Yugong's body on it, and then roared in and out of the city, insulting them one after another, the purpose of which was to provoke them to fight.Many of the soldiers at the top of the city belonged to the former Nanyuan army, and they were all secretly angry when they saw the old master being humiliated.

Xia Yingchen said: "What should we do now?"

Qiu Danyang said with a smile: "Chu Yugong died at the hands of Xi Haijun. It was much better than us killing him. Anyway, the Chu Clan has been operating in Nanyuan for generations, and the foundation is there."

Liu Sang changed his mind, and said: "Why don't we make a surprise attack at night, not only to attack their arrogance, but also to save Chu Yugong's body."

Zhao Wugeng asked in astonishment, "What are you doing after being rescued?"

Liu Sang said: "Of course it's a big funeral, let all the soldiers cry in front of his coffin, and those who can't cry will prepare incense ashes."

Qiu Danyang said: "It's a good plan, a good plan, it's better to issue an obituary to inform the counties in Nanyuan that Duke Chu died at the hands of robbers. Her Royal Highness, benevolent and righteous, vows to avenge Duke Chu..."

Liu Sang said: "If you continue to support Chu Jian and succeed Chu Yugong as the head of the family, Chu Yugong and his three sons are all dead, he will naturally be the new head of the Chu family."

Wu Yigang asked in astonishment, "Why?"

Qiu Danyang said: "Of course it is in his name to take over the old Chu Clan, so that all the local tyrants who were still undecided about whether they should vote for us or not will submit to them."

Liu Sang laughed and said, "More importantly, Chu Jian is stupid enough."

Qiu Danyang said: "If he's not stupid, it's his turn for the Patriarch?"

The two smiled at each other and cherished each other.

The others looked at them and sighed... They really deserved to be military advisers and counselors, full of bad water!
