Border pass, in front of the two armies -

"The surname Chu, I advise you to surrender obediently, submit to my Cangteng country, if you are willing to let our lord set up a slave seal, maybe you can continue to be your general in style."

"Phew, wishful thinking, I, Chu Yunzhou, will die! I won't be the dog of your Cangteng country, not to mention that it's not certain who will kill the deer! ”

Hearing Chu Yunzhou's answer, Liu Xinyu was not surprised at all, and he didn't think that Chu Yunzhou would surrender with his words, although the two sides were in their own camps, but he still admired Chu Yunzhou.

"It seems that there is no negotiation, so ...... Kill!!! ”

Liu Xinyu gave an order, and the army behind him suddenly swept in like a tide.

"Stone-throwing! Shoot the arrows! ”

The sound of groaning and sighing kept coming, and one arrow after another was fired, and one boulder after another was thrown, and the soldiers who rushed in front and below were either unable to be hit by the arrows, or blocked the rain of arrows but were smashed by the boulders.

For a while, the screams were incessant, but they were quickly drowned out by the sound of rushing and killing, and although these attacks had a slight effect, it was obviously impossible to repel the enemy army on their own.

The ladder has been erected, the offensive and defensive battle officially kicked off, the enemy soldiers climbed the ladder one by one, trying to rush to the city wall, the soldiers defending the city were not idle, the oil was splashed down, but the ladder was wrapped in a layer of mud, this trick did not play a significant role, so they began to shoot arrows and throw stones, constantly repelling the enemy soldiers who tried to climb up.

The two armies were in such a stalemate, Chu Yunzhou stared at Liu Xinyu who was a hundred meters away, he couldn't understand what the purpose of Liu Xinyu was suddenly going to attack the city, so it just made the soldiers continue to die, and it couldn't play any role, but he saw that Liu Xinyu was not panicked at all at this time, as if everything was in his plan.

The two armies were in a stalemate for a long time, and at this time, the horn of retreat suddenly sounded on the side of Cangteng Kingdom, and the soldiers heard the horn of retreat, and began to retreat in minutes, and Chu Yunzhou saw that they began to retreat, and just wanted to order the pursuit of victory, but thought about it.

"No, you can't fall for them."

He was afraid that this was Liu Xinyu's trap, trying to lure them out of the customs and catch them off guard again, so he didn't send troops to pursue after thinking twice, but let the soldiers carry out a long-range attack towards the retreating enemy army.

After Chu Yunzhou saw that the Cangteng army had really retreated, he ordered the battlefield to be cleaned up.

The city gate opened, and the soldiers poured out one after another, and began to clean the battlefield, they stabbed the corpses of the Cangteng army with their weapons in case there were any people alive, and they also took away the weapons that the Cangteng army did not have time to collect when they retreated, in order to replenish the armament materials, and after these were done, it was almost noon, and they began to dispose of the corpses.

They put together one corpse after another of the soldiers of Cangteng, the corpses of thousands of people were piled up in three Jingguan, which looked extremely terrifying, and the Cangteng army on the opposite side saw this Jingguan, all of them were desperate, they didn't understand what the meaning of the death of their brothers was, was it just to give the enemy army prestige? They were angry, but helpless, they were just small soldiers, and they didn't dare to point fingers at General Cangteng's decision.

"Marshal, the last general has the courage to ask you, what is the purpose of our siege, and we have killed so many soldiers, is it just to give them military prestige?"

This veteran is named Sun Pengfei, he is much older than Liu Xinyu, but he did not take command of this expedition, but handed it over to Liu Xinyu, although his cultivation is not as high as Liu Xinyu, but his prestige in the army is not low, he asked this time, and the rest of the soldiers who did not dare to speak at the bottom also echoed.

"Yes, Marshal, why don't we surround them and consume them to death." A younger general asked.

"You know, I wanted them to let their guard down, that's why I did it on purpose."

"But that guy Chu Yunzhou is suspicious by nature, he didn't chase him out just now, presumably he has already guessed your plan."

Sun Pengfei continued to ask reluctantly, he was very disappointed in Liu Xinyu now, he didn't expect the lord of the country to send such a person as a marshal.

"Okay, I'm the marshal, you all have to listen to me, at midnight today, whoever cultivates to the Guanyang Realm will go with me to attack Gucheng Pass at night."

"But ......"

Sun Pengfei felt that he was whimsical and wanted to dissuade him, but Liu Xinyu didn't listen at all.

"Okay, don't say more, do as I say, gather in my tent tonight, and you all go back now and get ready."

After saying that, he left without looking back.

"General Sun, this son is so rigid and conceited, I don't know how many soldiers will be sacrificed in vain, don't you have an opinion on him? If you ask, we will follow you. ”

After Liu Xinyu left, a young soldier said to Sun Pengfei, and after listening to what he said, the rest of the soldiers also echoed.

"Yes, General Sun, you can't let him go down like this."

"That's right."

Listening to everyone's condemnation, Sun Pengfei sighed helplessly, remembering what the lord of the country had summoned him and said to him before the army left.

"What is the matter with Your Majesty's summoning of the last general?"

Sun Pengfei knelt in the splendid hall, and there was a man in a luxurious robe on it, who was King Teng.

"General Sun, I didn't let you be the marshal on this expedition, do you have resentment in your heart?"

"The last general will not dare, Your Majesty named Liu Xinyu as the marshal, naturally you have a reason, and the last general will not dare to speculate."

Although he said so, he still didn't understand why the lord of the country ordered a junior to be a marshal, although Liu Xinyu's cultivation was indeed higher than him, but in terms of combat experience, he was definitely more abundant, so he was still a little unconvinced in his heart, but he was absolutely obedient to the lord's orders.

His emotional changes naturally couldn't escape Zhang Lun's eyes, Zhang Lun just smiled when he looked at him like this, not angry.

"The reason why I appointed Liu Xinyu as the marshal is because this is a request from a helper."

"Helper? Is it possible? ”

"That's right, it is because of the help of people that the widow dares to declare war on the Canglan country."

After he learned the news from the mouth of the lord of the country, he was no longer a little dissatisfied with Liu Xinyu is marshal, because he knew that there were some things that he should not delve into, thinking of this, he also said to the people below: "Okay, everyone don't quarrel anymore, the reason why Your Majesty did this naturally has his deep meaning, and we will know it when the time comes." ”

He did not tell the truth directly, but told them with facts that the lord of the country was not wrong.

When the crowd saw that even he didn't dare to protest, they had to give up.

Sun Pengfei saw everyone's depressed looks and said: "Okay, it's not too early, everyone go back and prepare, we have to act at night." ”

Everyone was silent, they all went back to prepare reluctantly, and after everyone left, Sun Pengfei looked at the chairs in the tent, sighed, and left to prepare.

Inside Sun Pengfei's tent, there was a young man with blond hair and blue eyes who was sitting, and it was Liu Xinyu standing next to him.

"Senior, can you find out more about them?"

"Nonsense, with me out of the horse, it must be foolproof."

The young man said unhappily when he heard him question himself a little.

"Yes, yes, it's the fault of the villain, so what's the situation on their side of the army?"

Liu Xinyu hurriedly admitted his mistake and said with a smile.

"What was the previous Zhou ......?"

"Zhou Lingsu."

"Yes, the Su Changnian he said before, that is, the person who is the fifth heaviest in the Five Visceral Realm, didn't come, I have carefully investigated, there is only one Chu Yunzhou there who is the Five Visceral Realm, and it is only one layer, and the rest are all small miscellaneous fish in the Guanyang Realm and Xuanyin Realm, which is not worth changing."

"So let's do it tonight?"

"Yes, but when the time comes, I won't make a move, just let my men go down, kill a person from the first level of the Five Visceral Realm, I'm afraid of dirty my hands."

Hearing the young man's arrogant speech, Liu Xinyu was not the slightest dissatisfied, because he knew how powerful this person was, if it weren't for him, Liu Xinyu wouldn't be a marshal now, I'm afraid he was just a small miscellaneous fish in the barracks, used as cannon fodder.

"In that case, then I won't disturb your rest, I'll go out and prepare."

"Well, okay, I'm waiting for tonight's good show."

After saying that, he lay down on the bed and fell asleep, but Liu Xinyu didn't dare to disturb him, and obediently went out to prepare for tonight's action.

Gucheng Guannei——

"Marshal, the battlefield has been cleaned up, these are the list of captured loot, please take a look."

Chu Yunzhou took the list and looked at it carefully, then called back.

"The harvest is good, there are even semi-spiritual weapons, all of them are put away in case of emergency."

"Yes."

After the soldier received the order, he left happily, and as soon as he left, the general who had been beside Chu Yunzhou before began to give his opinion.

"Marshal, this time we defended properly, and we resisted their attack with almost no damage, presumably they are now discouraged, why don't we take advantage of the victory to pursue ......"

"No, this is most likely a deliberate ploy they used to make us relax, and we must not be careless now, we must defend well, and we must not let them take advantage of it. Pass the order, and the whole city will be on guard tonight to prevent the army of Cangteng Kingdom from sneaking up on us at night. ”

"Yes."

This general has also been following Chu Yunzhou for a short time, and he knows that Chu Yunzhou's vigilance is too heavy, but it is because of this cautious behavior that they have escaped death countless times and turned defeat into victory, so he did not disobey the order and obediently conveyed Chu Yunzhou's order.

Night fell quietly, and the soldiers of Guchengguan did not relax their vigilance because of the victory, and they were all vigilant around.

And in the tent of the Cangteng Army barracks, more than a dozen figures gathered together, and they were plotting......
