Chapter 116 Siege
Just when Shengjing was about to be besieged, at the junction of Qinzhou and Huazhou.
Outside Baiyingjian Camp.
As Xu Dayu had expected before, after a few days of casualties and failure to attack the camp, discordant voices began to appear within the entire coalition.
Inside the coalition camp, in the tent of Yu’s family.
“Acheng, what’s the matter?”
Yu Qiu, who was reading the military book in the tent, asked with some doubts when he saw Yu Cheng’s sudden visit.
“Third uncle, do you know that there are rumors going around in the camp now that many aristocratic families have expressed their intention to withdraw from the coalition.”
Saying that, Yu Cheng’s face showed a hint of anxiety.
During this period of time, although the daily attack on the battalion did not stop, the harvest was very small.
Obviously, everyone knows that some damage to the fueling strategy is inevitable, but it does not mean that they are willing to have such damage appear under their command.
Yu Qiu naturally knew this, but there were some things he couldn’t do.
Human nature is like this. Everyone is united for the sake of profit. Now that the profit has not been obtained, they will lose their original profit. Who would do this?
Moreover, Zhong Ren, who was the leader of the alliance at this time, had already vaguely led the responsibility and dissatisfaction among the coalition forces to him.
Although Yu Qiu proposed this fuel-filling tactic, it was also agreed by everyone at the beginning. Everyone was aware of these losses at the beginning, but now it is his fault.
At this time, Yu Qiu also felt some dissatisfaction in his heart.
At this moment, Yu Qiu suddenly had a flash of light in his mind.
“So, is this your calculation?”
Yu Cheng looked at Yu Qiu with some doubts and asked, “Third Uncle, what did you say?”
Yu Qiu frowned and said with a gloomy look on his face:
“I’m afraid we fell into someone else’s calculations.”
Then Yu Qiu told Cheng his guess.
“Third uncle, this is really a powerful strategy, is there a solution?”
After hearing this, Yu Cheng was amazed. Xu Da’s plan was very simple, but it was exactly the pain. After all, the coalition army was just a temporary group formed by a group of noble families who came for profit and power.
It seems that the 500,000-strong army is magnificent, but its roots are nothing but scattered sand.
“There is a solution, but it’s impossible.” Yu Qiu said with a sigh.
“Why?” Yu Cheng asked.
“Led by the leader of the alliance, we, the big family, took the initiative to take up the loss, so as to leave those small forces with weak foundations.”
Hearing Yu Qiu’s solution, Yu Cheng was stunned for a moment.
Then he said with a wry smile, “It’s impossible.”
Yu Qiu sneered and said, “So, there is no solution to this plan.”
Indeed, everyone is here for profit. These big families originally used these small forces as cannon fodder to pull them into the coalition army. Now, how is it possible for them to damage themselves to protect these small forces?
Not to mention Zhong Ren, even Yu Qiu and Yu Cheng couldn’t do it himself.
“Then Third Uncle, what should we do?”
Yu Cheng asked again, at this moment, it is obvious that the previous strategy cannot be continued, so it is time to find another way out.
“You inform your subordinates, let’s prepare to retreat.”
Yu Qiu made a decision, but Yu Cheng said hesitantly:
“Why are you retreating like this? I’m afraid Zhong Ren and the others will hate us, right?”
However, Yu Cheng showed a wicked smile: “Then give them a ride.”
……..
On the other side, outside the city of Shengjing.
Hua Xiong stood on the tower, raised his hand and deflected an arrow shot from under the city, his face darkened.
At this time, Hua Xiong’s wrist guard, which had just bounced off the arrow, still had traces of being corroded by something.
“Damn it! What a powerful poison arrow!”
Hua Xiong stared at the densely packed enemy army under the city, and the majestic murderous aura in his chest was about to burst out.
And not far from Hua Xiong’s side, Lu Bing also wrapped his palm with True Yuan and intercepted an arrow in mid-air, and said to Hua Xiong beside him:
“Zijian, you guard the city gate first, and I’ll take this poisoned arrow to Doctor Bian to see!”
Having said that, Lu Bing dodged and disappeared above the tower.
And Hua Xiong looked at the pained appearance of the soldiers surrounded by poisoned arrows, and roared resolutely:
“The whole army obeys the order, block me!”
Although Liu Yan was well prepared for Chu Yuanhong’s siege, he still underestimated Zhan’s face.
This time, the Zhan Clan not only dispatched experts from Heaven and Human Realm, but also dispatched one of the most notorious elite troops under the Zhan Clan, the Poison Feather Battalion.
The most famous of the Poison Feather Camp is the Poison Feather Arrow. The Poison Feather Sutra practiced by the archers of the Poison Feather Camp is matched with the customized Poison Feather Arrow.
It is said that the Poison Feather Battalion at its peak even had a terrifying record of 30,000 Poison Feather Battalions wiping out a hundred thousand troops. This time, although the Zhan clan did not send as many as 30,000, there were 5,000 people.
In addition to the other soldiers and horses, nearly half of the 50,000 soldiers and horses led by Chu Yuanqi at this time were from the Zhan clan.
This is also enough to see that the Zhan clan’s support for King Yunlan is great this time.
At the same time, in Chu Yuanhong’s position under the city.
Chu Yuanhong frowned faintly as he watched the sight of the poisoned arrows raging in the air.
After all, this is the capital of Dasheng, and he is the heir of King Yunlan of Dasheng. If possible, he also hopes to be able to conquer Shengjing relatively peacefully.
After all, the people in the city are still the people of their Chu family~www.readmtl.com~ But the old Yao sent by the Zhan family next to Chu Yuanqi said coldly:
“His Royal Highness, those who achieve great things must not have the kindness of women. In extraordinary times, extraordinary means should be used. Liu Yan’s subordinates are still being pinned down in Huazhou and Chizhou at this time. Since our Zhan family has paid, we must have a return, otherwise No matter who will endure the Zhan’s wrath in the end, do you understand?”
Chu Yuanhong was very upset by Yao Lao’s half-threatening and half-admonishing words, but at this moment he also understood that the strength of the Zhan clan is far from being offended by his little prince Yunlan.
Even his father, King Yunlan, and the entire Dasheng Dynasty could not resist the anger of the Zhan clan.
Under the roof, he had to bow his head. Since he chose to cooperate with Zhan, he was already mentally prepared for some things.
Chu Yuanhong was silent, and Yao Lao, who was beside him, also noticed the strangeness of Chu Yuanhong, but he didn’t take it to heart.
He is under the command of the Zhan family. In front of the Zhan family, King Yunlan and Liu Yan are just chess pieces.
And because of Chu Yi’s previous resistance to Zhan’s, Zhan’s initial cooperation intention was with Liu Yan, but Liu Yan did not expect that Liu Yan would be more aggressive and directly rejected Zhan’s invitation.
That’s why the current cooperation between Zhan’s and King Yunlan.
All Zhan needs is an obedient puppet. If the puppet is disobedient, then get rid of it. The former Chu Yi, now Liu Yan, may be King Yunlan and Chu Yuanhong in the future, but so what? Another one is.
To know the background of the thousand-year-old Zhan clan, it is far from a dynasty that can be compared.
