In the depths of the Gaoyou City Mansion, Zhao Shu was kneeling cross-legged on the ground, with a golden Nine Turns Yuan Divine Recipe silk silk on his knees, and a faint golden brilliance hanging behind his head.

"Congratulations to Your Highness, Your Highness, who has cultivated the Nine Turns Yuan Divine Technique, and Your Highness now has the power to travel at night out of the body. A wisp of mind is placed in this deity, you can walk at night, and if you catch the rebellious god of Mani in the future, you can quickly improve your strength and condense the first deity, the Red Emperor. ”

Xiao Moran, the sect leader of the Great Luo Sect, couldn't help but congratulate Zhao Shu when he saw his cultivation, and he didn't expect that the Great Luo Divine Venerable would hide such a mysterious technique.

"Hmm!"

Zhao Shu nodded lightly, and with a shock, a large amount of true qi roared out, turning into a huge flame Xuanwu phantom outside the body, but when the flame Xuanwu phantom shone, the golden light behind his head immediately disappeared.

"It seems that martial arts and immortal arts cannot coexist. ”

Hearing Zhao Shu's emotion, Zhang Junbao on the side smiled and said: "Your Highness, martial arts are just to yang, and the beginning of immortal cultivation is pure yin, but once the immortal art survives the thunder tribulation, it will also become pure yang, and then the two will be able to coexist and prosper, which is a double cultivation of life." ”

"Hmm!"

Zhao Shu nodded, looked at this Zhang Junbao, he didn't expect Zhang Junbao to know more, but with this trick, he also has an extra guarantee, but what he really cultivates is martial arts, and this spell is a reference, so he can't be too careful.

"The Da Luo faction has completely attached itself to His Highness, and the mortal forces under its control are also controlled by His Highness, and I hope that His Highness will be able to correct the name of Da Luo Divine Venerable in the future. ”

Seeing Zhao Shu's happy expression, Xiao Moran took the opportunity to beg, Zhao Shu looked at Xiao Mo lightly and said: "After quelling the rebellion of Mani, I will ask the sage to issue an edict and enshrine the god Daluo as a righteous god." ”

"Thank you, Your Highness, the Son of Heaven is a god, and the Daluo Sect will surely prosper!"

Xiao Moran's face was overjoyed, although he was reluctantly submitted, but this could be regarded as achieving his goal.

"Mr. Jiang, how is the preparation of the army? Where is the Western Army led by Tong Guan?"

Zhao Shu took the credit and asked the question he was most concerned about.

"Your Highness, in the half month of this Gaoyou City, all the teams are expanding, and now the Qilin Army has expanded by more than 10,000 people, and now the army has more than 30,000 soldiers. In addition to the soldiers, there are nearly 100,000 auxiliary troops, which are sufficient to carry materials and transport grain and grass.

Long Bo mined more coal in Shouchun and had already exchanged a lot of money and grain, as for the Western Army, which had crossed the Huai River, and was now preparing to cross the Yangtze River south and go straight to Jiankang Mansion.

After the thieves who probed the horse to detect the loss of the soldiers in Yangzhou Mansion, they had already dormant in Yangzhou City, rebuilt the defense of Yangzhou, suppressed the families in Yangzhou Mansion, and wanted to completely occupy the city and refuse to defend the city. ”

Jiang Kui said this, his expression hesitated slightly, and then continued: "Tong Guan sent a letter, hoping to meet His Highness in Danyang County, Jiankang Mansion in a month, and fight the thieves together, if His Highness can't arrive, he can send troops to help His Highness take Jiangdu." ”

"What a dog minion, such a big mouth, but a castration slave, dare to summon me. ”

Zhao Shu raised his eyebrows, angry, and his tone was as cold as ice, no matter how powerful this Tong Guan was, he was just a eunuch, a slave of the heavenly family, and he actually spoke to himself in such a tone, but he responded to the statement of the slave bully.

Generally, attacking the city is the most time-consuming, especially in a big city like Yangzhou, which cannot be taken down in a few months, this Tong Guan is deliberately bullying himself with this words, and this letter is only afraid that it has been known to women and children in the Great Song Dynasty.

"Your Highness, although the Western Army led by Tong Guan claims to be 200,000, but the soldiers are only about 80,000, and the difference between the armament and our Qilin Army is even far away. ”

Jiang Kui saw that Zhao Shu was angry, and immediately stepped forward to comfort him.

"Mr. Jiang doesn't need to be so consoled, this Western Army has been fighting with Western Xia for nearly a hundred years, and its combat power should not be underestimated, and the Qin Army is hard-fought and easy to produce elite soldiers.

This Tong Guan is also a martial artist of the Gang Qi Realm, and he has quickly comprehended the Yin and Yang Realm when he hears it, otherwise his father will not let him lead the troops. With such a strong army, it is just right to hone our Qilin army, send orders to the army, and send troops to Yangzhou. ”

Zhao Shu stood up, glanced at everyone, and said fiercely, I want to see this unique great eunuch in history, a great eunuch who has been crowned king.

"No!"

When everyone saw Zhao Shu's resolute look, they suddenly agreed and immediately took action.

Three days later, 30,000 troops poured out, followed by nearly 100,000 auxiliary troops, and a large number of materials, money, food, and ordnance were constantly transported to the front line, which was enough to supply more than 100,000 troops, especially bows, crossbows, and arrows.

"Sect Master Xiao, do you know what kind of family there are in Yangzhou City, so that the thieves have to lie dormant and suppress?"

Zhao Shu sat on a chariot and asked Xiao Moran beside him.

"Report to Your Highness, this family in Yangzhou is a family of assassins, with Yin as the surname, and it is rumored that this family of assassins once assassinated Emperor Yang of Sui. However, it is not a true family of poetry, so it is despised by those families, but its force and the hidden forces in the Jianghuai road are not trivial. ”

"The family of assassins!

Zhao Shu said lightly.

"Your Highness, don't underestimate this family of assassins, they are the real leaders of the Jianghuai two martial arts forces, even the general government does not dare to underestimate them, they are proficient in killing and weapon forging, if they can be recovered, it is no less than getting thousands of troops. ”

Xiao Moran was afraid that Zhao Shu would underestimate this assassin family, so he immediately reminded him.

"No, the family that can make the three innate martial artists of Mani have to pay attention to it, this king will not underestimate it. ”

Zhao Shu is not that arrogant person, since he knows the power of this family, he will definitely pay attention to it, but these will have to wait until he captures Yangzhou City.

"Your Highness, the former army has arrived at a place ten miles away from Yangzhou City, and the craftsman battalion has set up tens of thousands of stone-throwing vehicles, and the siege crossbows have all been placed, all waiting for His Highness's orders!"

Wang Gui stepped forward immediately, reported the movements of the front army, and also asked about further movements.

"Besiege but not attack, go all out to build siege ordnance!"

Zhao Shu said lightly, his eyes flashed with a thick brilliance, this Yangzhou City is an important town on Jianghuai East Road, the city is high and strong, if it is attacked, it will inevitably suffer heavy casualties, especially since he has expanded 20,000 new troops in Gaoyou City.

These new armies are still not strong enough to fight this kind of brutal battle, but fortunately they have a large number of siege weapons in their hands, as well as refined gasoline, with these sharp weapons, they may be able to take this Yangzhou City soon.

"Your Highness, 30,000 people have already built embankments on the Grand Canal and the Xintong River, and the flood will be slow in half a month, as long as His Highness gives an order, the flood will be monstrous, and Yangzhou City will be flooded in an instant, and Yangzhou will be taken in less than a month!"

Jiang Kui looked at Zhao Shu and advised him to use the water to break down the city wall of Yangzhou, which is an excellent way to prevent accidents.

"Although this method is good, but Yangzhou has been ruined since then, and the fertile fields within a radius of dozens of miles in Yangzhou have become Zeguo, and then decide after half a month, take the city first, and see the rebellious forces of Mani. ”

Zhao Shu said lightly, he was not willing to turn Yangzhou City into a Ze country, and it was the people of the Great Song Dynasty who would be harmed.

"Order the siege!"

Jiang Kui sighed, shouted at the heralds around him, the flag waved, Daxu waved, and a huge drum resounded throughout the battlefield.

"Attack!"

Tang Huai heard the sound of drums, saw the Lingqi immediately roared, in an instant tens of thousands of stone-throwing trucks loaded with boulders were instantly ejected out, these stone-throwing vehicles are Zhao Shu imitated the Mongolian attack on Xiangyang in the later generations to create a return cannon and create, each of the projected boulders weighed more than 100 catties, the power is huge, Mongolia was by virtue of this return cannon, the extremely strong Xiangyang city wall was smashed down.

Suddenly, tens of thousands of boulders roared out around Yangzhou City, the rumbling sound was suddenly endless, the female wall on the city wall was directly smashed, the solid city wall was smashed into a large depression, the arrow tower on the city wall was smashed, some boulders flew over the city wall, fell to the ground, into the ground seven feet, the original city wall under the accumulation of materials under this countless boulders into countless fragments.

For a while, there was a miserable cry on the entire city wall, and countless Mani rebels fled in a hurry, even those rebel generals were also colorless and pale at this time, but in front of each section of the city wall, a commander fought with a sword, and even killed a lot of deserters to suppress the form, but this form let many Mani generals know that they could no longer hold on.
