"No, no. The Lord of the Castle www.biquge.info has always been wise, and the Xilai Castle is also well fed and clothed under your leadership. Yinghua saw that Zhuo Chu was displeased, so he hurriedly slapped a few sycophants, and then said: "It's just that if Wolong City really can't hold it, then we're afraid that Xilai City will bear the brunt, if that's the case, then it's not bad for us?" ”

"What? Do you really think that Wolong City can't be defended? I just got the battle report here, last night Long Wu just arrived in Wolong City, and gave Li Zhengdao's traitor a moment, killing more than 400,000 opponents on the spot, and more than 100,000 ambush soldiers. Rest assured, today's dragon warriors are strong and strong, he will not be broken in three days, if he can't hold on, we are sending troops, and only at that time can I firmly press him, otherwise now send troops over, the initiative is in him. ”

Listening to Zhuo Chu's analysis, Yinghua suddenly realized and said: "So that's the case, it's still the city lord who is wise." ”

"Hehe, okay, you go and get busy, while the war has not yet burned to us, you want to collect heavy taxes from the rich merchants in the city, just tell them, I want to recruit soldiers, where there is no Gangshi, where is there a source of soldiers, where is someone willing to work for us, if the city from the west cannot be defended, it is everyone who is unlucky there." Zhuo Chu smiled, obviously enjoying Yinghua's two sycophants.

"Yes, please rest assured, Lord of the City, I will do this, if someone does not take the Gangshi, I will make a reason to raid the house."

"Haha, that's good." Zhuo Chu nodded with satisfaction.

For three days, Chu Yang and Wang Yue and Song Nianguan have been doing the work of the 200,000 reinforcements, of which 150,000 are willing to serve in Wolong City, most of them have seen the power of Long Wu, in their opinion, the safety of such a city lord should be the most guaranteed.

The remaining 50,000 people are dead or alive, and Chu Yang did not let them be idle according to Long Wu's intentions, and they began to build an inner city in Wolong City, and there is a city in the city, which can ensure more security.

And late at night on the third day, Wei Changyin came to Wolong City on the order of Li Zhengdao, discussing whether it was time to let them pass through the side gate.

。。。。。。。。。。。。

West Lai City.

Under the cover of darkness, I couldn't see my fingers.

The guards at the city gates sat together in twos and threes, chatting or falling asleep.

Xilaicheng, which has not been at war for hundreds of years, is like a tiger far away from the world's strife, and has long forgotten what its duty is, indulging in peace and tranquility every day, and the blood on its body is much less.

Even now, knowing that the Shenzhou Continent is now surging, and the situation between countries is not as balanced as before, and the war has already resumed, for Xilai City, it is still a comfortable place, because there is a Wolong Town in front of them, so that the defenders here have never thought that the war will extend to them.

And tonight, under the gates of this ordinary city like other nights, there are indeed countless figures shaking, like ghosts in the night.

The night became their best talisman, allowing their arrival to alert no one.

Today is already the fourth night of the date of Long Wu's letter, in fact, after Wei Changyin came out of Wolong City last night, Li Zhengdao's 300,000 troops entered through the side gate of Wolong City under the cover of the moon and entered the way to Xilai City.

These things, except for the defenders guarding the side gate and a few dignitaries such as Long Wu know, even the people in the city are completely ignorant of these things. And tonight, Li Zhengdao's army came from Wolong Town early.

With 300,000 people arriving first, Zuo Er and Wei Changyin, their eyes were looking at the walls of Xilai City.

"General Wei, you said that this will not be another trick of Longwu, on the surface, Xilai City does not have the slightest sense of vigilance, but it is true that we have already gotten the news, waiting for us to attack the city, they will kill it, and then the army of Wolong City will come from behind, give us a defeat and a defeat?" Zuo Er, who was scared by Long Wu, had to think more at this time, because he couldn't figure out why Long Wu would lend them the way, to say that Xilai City was gone, it didn't seem to be good for him, on the contrary, Wolong City would only become a lonely city surrounded by the Great Yuan army.

"Probably not, although he is the city lord of Wolong City, and he also enjoys a certain status in the military department of the Fengyun Empire, but in fact, he has not been here for a long time, and he has no influence at all, and it is not good to offend us to the death for the Fengyun Empire. In other words, didn't the three princes amass millions of troops under Wolong City? If they dare to attack us, then we will attack Wolong City on both sides, and it will only be him who will be in danger. Wei Changyin said in a very firm tone.

In fact, about this matter, Wei Changyin asked when he entered the Wolong Mansion yesterday to discuss in detail, and he also wondered if this was a trick set up by the other party, and Long Wu wanted to find an opportunity to eat Li Zhengdao.

But in the end, Long Wu really shook his head, saying that he and the Fengyun Empire actually didn't have such a good relationship as it seemed, and letting Xilai City miss out was proof of this. Of course, this is beneficial to Long Wu personally, that is, it can better highlight his ability to govern the army, and at the same time, it will also prevent Wolong City from clashing with the Dayuan army head-on.

It was precisely because Long Wu said this that Wei Changyin chose to believe it, so he personally participated in it and wanted to make another contribution.

Hearing Wei Changyin's explanation, Zuo Er nodded slightly, "What you said makes sense, then okay, we will make the first contribution tonight, as long as we open the gate of Xilai City, it will definitely be a great achievement, and the third prince will also reward us well." ”

The time soon came, that is, between eleven o'clock in the evening and one o'clock in the morning, knowing that if everything was normal, I was afraid that Li Zhengdao and his army of one million should not be far from them, so the left ear slowly stood up and began to prepare for action.

With a wave of his hand in his left ear, dozens of archers soon stood out from the darkness of the grass, they drew their bows and arrows, and then with one arm, dozens of arrow feathers cut through the space and shot towards the defenders of Xilai City standing above the city gate.

Being able to be selected by the left ear as the first soldier to release arrows is naturally excellent in archery, so after dozens of arrow feathers rushed up the city wall, there was indeed no one who could stand there.

"Quick, go up the ladder." Seeing that the soldiers defending the city were dealt with, the left ear hurriedly gave an order.

In the palace of the lord of the city from the west. Zhuo Chu was feasting on the rich people in the city in the main hall.

In the past four days, Yinghua has screened all the rich people in the city, and all the rich people in the city have been forced to pay heavy taxes, and they have all made their own contributions to the war that the city may face.

And today's dinner party is actually Zhuo Chu thanking these people, everyone is a person who cultivates Gang Qi, and it is nothing if they don't sleep for a few days, so even if it is very late, these people are still in the city lord's mansion and have not left, of course, it is not that they don't want to leave, but the city lord will not let them.

Although Yinghua has already made these businessmen pay a lot of price, at least one-tenth of their net worth, but Zhuo Chu really doesn't look down on it, he still wants to have more, and leaving these people is just making further efforts.

"Ladies and gentlemen, everyone is a well-known figure in Xilai City, and it can be said that the prosperity of the city today is inseparable from the efforts of everyone here. But now the front line is tight, just two days ago, the city lord of Wolong City, General Long Wu, the special envoy of His Majesty the Emperor, sent someone to send me a letter, saying that we must send reinforcements to him within three days, otherwise Wolong City will not be able to hold it. ”

When talking about this matter, Zhuo Chu was indeed calm, and he didn't seem to take this matter too seriously.

"But I consider that it is not easy for everyone, if you send troops to it, it will inevitably cost a lot of gangshi, so I finally endured, I risked offending the officials to protect everyone's wealth, otherwise, think about it, if you really want to send troops, it will inevitably be recruited from your mansion, in that case, who will protect you? So I've done so much for everyone, so do you want to express it too? ”

Zhuo Chu is so shameless in court, this can also be called the last madness, after all, once there is a war, these businessmen are afraid that they will flee from here, leaving a group of poor ghosts, at that time, even if he wants to get rich, he is afraid that he can't.

Hearing Zhuo Chu's words, the faces of the rich people in the city here showed bitter colors one by one.

They just donated one-tenth of their net worth to Yinghua, and now they still want it, they really have to make an inch.

But they really didn't dare to refute, Zhuo Chu was the city lord's mansion, in charge of the entire city's 800,000 troops, if he was provoked, these 800,000 people would drown them completely if they spat at each mouthful.

It's just that just a few words say, you have to come up with a lot of money, obviously everyone is a little unwilling, so one looks at the other, that is, no one takes the initiative to show that they want to take out the gangshi.

Seeing that everyone didn't speak, Zhuo Chu's face became a little ugly, "Everyone, I'm also for everyone's good, of course, you can be indifferent, you can ignore my set of words, but from tomorrow morning, I can only go to the various prefectures to recruit soldiers, if that's the case, please cooperate with everyone at that time, everything is for the empire." I'm going to use all the people around us who can use it, even your wives can go to the front, they can do some women's work, and they can boost morale, right? ”

Zhuo Chu is clearly threatening everyone, just to tell you that if you don't express it today, then from tomorrow onwards, you will become a lonely person, and at that time, don't blame him, the city lord.
