On top of the city wall in Dengzhou.
Zhu Wen was very upset now and he sighed three times in succession. Staring at the flags of the official troops on the official road, he suddenly felt isolated.
Dengzhou was an ominous place. The city's defense was now mostly repaired, but Zhu Wen didn't feel the least bit secure. He felt as though he has been trapped and caged by the city beneath him. There were covetous official troops in all surrounding states and counties and none of them was friendly.
Zhu Zhen was defeated. The five thousand elite cavalries were unable to defeat the three thousand new soldiers. Over half of them were killed and they ended up retreating in panic. Zhu Wen was very unhappy. The soldiers who guarded the city watched the elite cavalries retreating in panic. It was an extremely bad sign and a big blow to their morale.
The civilians who were drafted in the city had been looking at them with a different express
He knew Wang Shu was slack, but he didn't expect that he would be that slack. If Wang Shu arranged the defence better and the cavalrymen responded in a timelier manner, it would be impossible for the other side to show off like this. "D*mn it!" Li Ye cussed and rushed over directly on the horse. Zhou Ji followed closely and at the same time, he asked someone to pass a message to Yang Fuguang to tell him to come quickly. Li Ye arrived at Wang Shu's camp and looked around. The other armies' camps were almost set up, but it was still in a mess here. Reining in his horse, he asked angrily, "Where is Wang Shu?!" After a long time, Wang Shu appeared. He didn't run over here but came on the horse with more than a hundred trusted soldiers behind him. Stopping the horse about ten steps away, Wang Shu folded his hands slightly towards Li Ye and said unhappily, "Commander-in-chief, my camp was attacked just now. Why didn't I see any elite
The watchtower was higher than the city wall, so Li Ye could see the battle clearly and it was convenient for Li Ye to seize the opportunity to dispatch troops. Camps were behind the watchtower and a hundred thousand troops were arrayed neatly in front of the watchtower. Of course, there were only about fifty thousand soldiers outside Li Ye's city wall, but they were spread out over a large area, covering the surrounding area of hundreds of meters. Looking over the city wall, Li Ye could also see the military formation at the other end. Before the three-sided military formation, Dengzhou seemed very small, like an island in the sea. The formation was arranged with careful consideration. The small formations of the infantry made up the big formation and the cavalry guards on both sides of the big formation interconnected with each other, eventually forming a sea of armor. There were big passages in the big formation and small pa
These suicide soldiers could form a barrier with five people, even the Warrior Masters could do nothing about it. If there were a dozen or so soldiers and they formed three or four Military Barriers that could back each other up in the battle, even Level 1 Qi-refining practitioners dared not to take them head on. Because once they became entangled, death awaited them. Shangguan Qingcheng's eyes were cold, she knew that she couldn't let the Dengzhou Suicide Soldiers charge. Because if there were even a moment's delay, then many Deng Zhou elites would charge up from behind them. By then the city wall would be firmly controlled by the Dengzhou army. A number of imperial guards were being killed by the other side. Two of them were killed by the blade. Then Shangguan Qingcheng passed by the imperial guards, with her silver spear sharp like an arrow, she headed straight for the Northern Zhou Suicide Soldiers! "Defend!" Since the Dengzhou Suicide S
Within Dengzhou City, Zhu Wen sat in the room and silently buried himself. Moments later, a guard came in and reported, "General, all the general officers have arrived. They're all waiting for you to host the military meeting." Zhu Wen waved his hand and said, "Let them wait!" When the guard saw Zhu Wen's bitter expression, he dared not say anything and quickly clasped his fist in his hand and backed off. Zhu Wen's expression was not exactly bad, but it sure wasn't great. The battle to defend the city the past few days had, for a time, placed Dengzhou in crisis. They were almost breached by the imperial army. If it weren't for his strategic dispatchment of his troops, sending the Xiao Yong Sect to block the gap, and the cultivator group composed of the Zhongnan Mountain Taoists to put the fire out everywhere, Dengzhou City would've had been breached by the imperial army. And he would not by sitting here safely now.
"Shoot arrows!" "Shoot arrows!" The generals on top of the city wall shouted, shaking uncontrollably. Against waves of arrows, the tide of armor finally reached beneath the city wall. With ladders leaning against the city wall, the soldiers climbed up holding round shields while the generals shouted and conducted everywhere. "Go!" "Rush with me!" "Kill!" "Don't f*cking stand motionless. Hurry up!" "If you don't want to be shot to death beneath the city wall, then climb up!" "We can fight to the death, but we must die on top of the city wall!" After a few days' consumption, there were no rolling stones or wood and molten iron on top of the city wall. The iron nail planks were almost all damaged and even the arrows were almost running out. The threat to the official troops was no longer so severe that some soldiers soon climbed up to the top of th
Seeing Zhu Wen going far away, Li Ye frowned slightly. Immediately, he felt that a master in the Spiritual Master Realm appeared. He looked far away and didn't intend to go out to chase after him. He didn't know how many cultivators there were in the Spiritual Master Realm of Zhongnan Mountain. If the two people joined forces, he couldn't fight against them. But since he had occupied Dengzhou, Li Ye didn't feel like raising new issues. Zhu Wen had the great luck to become an emperor, so Li Ye couldn't easily kill him as he wanted. At present, he shouldn't only focus on Zhu Wen. In the afternoon that day, the battle was declared to be over. Before sunset, the city gradually became quiet and order was restored. Even though some of Zhu Wen's troops were still resisting desperately, they couldn't make any trouble facing the official troops. Zhu Wen had fifty thousand soldiers, but over ten thousand of them were dead.
Looking back, Zhu Wen saw Prime Minister Shang Rang, so he hurriedly saluted to him. After Huang Chao established the Qi Empire, he appointed four Prime Ministers. Shang Rang was undoubtedly the head of them and was deeply trusted by Huang Chao. Otherwise, it was impossible for Huang Chao to let him lead the troops to attack Zheng Tian in Fengxiang several times. That was because Shang Rang was Shang Junchang's junior brother. Shang Junchang was Wang Xianzhi's general. After Wang Xianzhi was persuaded to surrender by Yang Fuguang, he was dispatched by Wang Xianzhi to negotiate with the official troops. But in the end, he was killed. Shang Junchang died unjustly, so Shang Rang hated the Tang Empire very much. He was one of those who were the least likely to surrender to the Tang Empire and he was good at leading troops to fight on the battlefield, so Huang Chao valued him. Facing such a figure, Zhu Wen had no reason not to be respectful. It w
The messenger-guard obeyed the order. He then turned and flew off to immediately to convey the order quickly. Moments later, the attacking side suddenly sped up their pace. A bunch of high level-cultivation warriors headed the attack. The Xi Chuan Sect's military formation that was blocking them had quickly been broken. Seeing this scene, Tian Lingzi finally showed a smile and said, "Now that is what I'm talking about." Prime Minister Chen Jingxuan was standing beside Tian Lingzi. He silently wiped the cold sweat from his forehead as he saw Tian Lingzi's eyes. He was full of fear. After Tian Lingzi's protected Li Yan to Chengdu, he had made quite a few thunderous maneuvers. He wanted to quickly gain control of Xi Chuan and cease both political and military power. With his first maneuver, Tian Lingzi got cozy with the head of the Xi Chuan civil officer, Chen Jingxuan. After gaining his trust, he petitioned for Li Y
