Chapter 46: Trapped Beast

For various reasons, Long Feng and Yang Tian, ​​who escaped a military discipline, brought five thousand iron cavalry to circle around the "Huoyun" city. More than a dozen cavalrymen with thick voices kept shouting: "Put down their weapons, we will treat the prisoners with preferential treatment." Or: "The surrender will not kill, and the offeror will give the reward of 100,000."

From time to time, cold arrows shot down from the city. Unfortunately, the people who shot the archers were not good enough, so they could not help but use the super heavy armor that Long Feng and the others deliberately put on. This kind of armor is said to be able to withstand hundreds of series of heavy attacks by heavy giant axes, so naturally they don’t care about the light attacks of these arrows. As for whether these cavalrymen can have decent combat power, it is no longer a matter of concern for the commanders of the Celestial Dynasty. Anyway, they only hope that Long Feng and Yang Tian will no longer cause any trouble. At the same time, as long as they ensure their safety, they will let them lead people to make trouble.

Yang Tian held the heavy helmet on his head with a little depressed depression, flicked the iron armor at least half an inch behind with his fingers, and grinned and complained, "I said I would take someone out for a walk, and I forced us to change into such armor. Why didn't they expect that if the cannons on the city were fired, we would be in trouble?"

Long Feng couldn't even do the habitual shrugging of his shoulders well. He sighed helplessly and said, "We are just under the city. Their artillery has a nearest range of only three hundred feet, so we can't hit us at all... But don't you think the arrows they're shooting are getting bigger and bigger?"

More than a dozen archers wearing red soft leather armor appeared on the top of the city, and arrows with a faint green light roared towards Long Feng and Yang Tian. The arrows slashed over the iron armor, bringing iron filings that were at least thick with one finger.

Commander Liu behind him was shocked: "The Demon Bowman of the Black Cloud Empire, retreat." He pulled Yang Tian's horse reins and ran towards the brigade. All the soldiers also surrounded Yang Tian and rode their horses. As for Long Feng, no one seemed to notice his existence.

Long Feng cursed the difference in treatment, jumped off his horse, took off his helmet and armor, and stood fifty feet outside the city wall and cursed at the soldiers of the Black Cloud Empire at the top of the city: "I said, niggers, I have left a road at the gate of the south city. Although it is not wide, as long as you hand over your weapons from that road and then go to the south honestly, we will never make things difficult for you."

The soldiers on the city wall looked at Long Feng in surprise. Long Feng added: "Remember, the discount conditions are only three days. Three days later, we will start to attack the city. Our five million cavalry brigade has begun to harass all the cities near you. You can't have any rescuers at all. Don't expect you to send troops to rescue you in your country. Our 100,000 warships are already densely spread in the Yinfeng Strait, and your transport fleet has no way to come."

The heart of the commander of the "Huoyun" city suddenly shrank. Although he secretly gave Long Feng a 90% discount in his heart, the remaining strength could ensure that his city had no support. Looking at the thoughtful soldiers around him, he made up his mind, fucked the giant bow beside him, and shot an arrow at Long Feng's face.

Yang Tianxing's gloating voice came from afar: "Long Feng, don't be killed by him."

Long Feng yelled a few times, took out a pitch-black scroll, and threw it at the arrow that shot towards him. After a thick black smoke, a strange creature with wolf head, rat body, and bat wings appeared, biting the iron long arrow and ate it. Long Feng pointed at the head of the city, and the creature from the low-level demon realm rushed to the city with cheers, and biting the soldiers above, hundreds of soldiers fell from the city in the flying blood.

No one was too concerned about continuing to shoot Long Feng, and more than a dozen demon archers avoided the alike from afar and used all their strength to shoot arrows. The infantrymen of the Black Cloud Empire nearby rushed up desperately under the supervision of their generals.

The skin of the alike was almost iron, and after the ordinary attack was hit, it also slashed to the side. Only the arrows of the demon archers or the weapons full of strength of the senior soldiers could cause enough damage to it. The alike, who felt the severe pain, pounced on the nearest group of soldiers with red eyes, stirred into the group of soldiers, and more than 20 figures flew and screamed and were thrown away. The commander of the "Fire Cloud" city almost got furious and pulled out his sword, using all his strength. The man and the sword turned into a red lightning, and stabbed the sword with red flames deeply into the body of the alike. The alike, who had lost his life, also lost the energy to maintain its activity in this space, and the corpse and blood were swept back to the low-level demon world.

Hundreds of high-level demons were floating in the high air, looking at Long Feng, who was rushing towards the brigade with great dissatisfaction.

A demon who seemed to be the highest in status ordered: "At this time tomorrow, bring me the souls of a hundred thousand axe, and I will eat them as dessert."

Another complained: "We collected the souls of 80,000 tragically dead humans and arranged the summoning passage from the Demon Realm to this continent. He actually summoned only a rat for the first time... It was simply an insult to our labor... Damn it, the most time, the most time, the other is to summon some evil souls, Li Po, or Hydra and so on... It's really damn..." He clenched his fists fiercely, and a black ball of light shining light suddenly appeared in his hand, and he was about to throw it down at the "Fire Cloud" city below.

One of his side quickly stopped him and cursed: "Do you want to implicate us and be scolded? Bastard, your attack this time is enough to destroy half of the continent."

The highest-ranking demon grabbed this too impulsive kind and threw it into a dark space-time channel that he summoned. He stroked his chin with evil intentions and murmured to himself: "It's so damn. I don't want this kid to waste his achievements after more than ten days... Let's send a little bit of believers down? How about adding some fun to this continent?"

All the demons nodded desperately and agreed: "Mr. Sorens, the Demon King, do whatever you say..."

Sorens laughed: "Thirteen low-level trash mages of the Necromancer, please send them to the territory of the Black Cloud Empire." As the current senior demon god of Yang Wei's current chief executive, long-faced brother, he had nothing to do. Even if his actions caused the intervention of other forces, it would only add some seasoning to their boring life.

Long Feng had no idea that he had summoned the lowest level monster, which angered the group of demons who had worked hard to set up the summoning passage for him, dragged his horse with a mud and carried hundreds of kilograms of armor toward his brigade. On the city tower behind, the soldiers of the Black Cloud Empire, who were angry and embarrassed, regardless of the possible formal attack of the Celestial Army, roared at Long Feng.

The shocked Wen Yuan ordered the artillery of the Celestial Dynasty to take revenge. The artillery shells of the "Huoyun" city, which were not very accurate, fell to the ground and exploded at four miles away. Apart from staining Long Feng with a burst of yellow dust, there was no much trouble. However, the new artillery of the Celestial Dynasty was ten miles away, causing considerable damage to the military and civilians of the "Huoyun" city. If it weren't for the new artillery shells that could not be manufactured on the front line, Wen Yuan had planned to use these artillery to directly conquer the southern plains.

Long Feng, who returned to his camp, was surrounded by all the mages of the Western continent as idols. After all, summoning magic is just a legend. It was the first time these mages saw people successfully summoning creatures that did not belong to their own space, and their power was so powerful. Although they all saw the scroll thrown by Long Feng, everyone desperately pestered Long Feng to ask for all the relevant information.

Long Feng, who was forced to do so, smiled evilly and passed down the magic circle he claimed to have been depicted on the scroll he found in an ancient temple, and maliciously told the mages that had more than 5,000 words of summoning spells... Although the effect is still there, he had to chant five,000 words before summoning... All the mages were happy and felt a little distressed.

As for those whom Wen Yuan was directly under, the sorcerers from the Great Black Sky Protection Divine Sect of the Heavenly Dynasty secretly asked the mages who were good to him about the relevant details to enhance the power of his magical skills.

Inadvertently, the entire Tian Dynasty camp flashed with strange spells everywhere, and there were whispers and sorcerers with wide eyes, and there were the most inferior monster creatures in the demon world everywhere, or the Yellow Turban Warriors, Dragon Subduing Arhats and others descending from the sky with golden light and green light. The mage leader of the "Fire Cloud" city led his subordinates to set up magic circles on the top of the city, for fear that the Tian Dynasty army would not keep the promise of the three-day and use spells to attack directly.

Wen Yuan, who was dealing with military aircraft, and a group of senior generals smiled bitterly and listened to the spies' reports on the abnormal situation in the camp: So far, hundreds of ravens running around had swallowed more than 5,000 best special goose feather swords. If the soldiers had not tried their best to stop them, their appetite would have moved to the cannons.

Shaking his head, Wen Yuan ordered: "All mages are strictly prohibited from performing magic tricks in the camp. Violators... Violators... Violators are deducted from their annual salary."

Then, several faint black smoke suddenly appeared in the tent, gathering five weird men in tight black clothes.

The leading man replied in a hoarse and unpleasant voice: "Two hundred and seventy-one people have escaped through the passage we deliberately left, and there is no pursuit in the city."

Wen Yuan frowned and asked in a low voice: "Where are those soldiers who escaped?"

The leader shook his head slightly and said, "We need to wait for other people's rewards."

At this moment, three figures appeared with evil spirits on their bodies. The first one replied in an extremely satisfying tone: "Two hundred and seventy-one people, two hundred people fled to their military headquarters in the south, and seventy-one people fled to the four nearby cities. We have all killed them, and none of them missed the net."

Wen Yuan nodded with satisfaction and said, "Very good, don't let these small troops go. I guess their commander didn't have the courage to take the risk of letting a large number of soldiers leave for help. Hum, hum, how long can our food and grass last?"

Qi Zhantian immediately replied: "Our food and grass can last for two months. With the wild beasts caught nearby, we can eat them for seven more days. Do we need to use Rangers to collect food and grass?"

Wen Yuan thought about it for a while, shook his head and said, "No, we can build the 'Huoyun' city in one month. The food and grass inside are enough for our year's expenses. There is no need to harass the people, so as to avoid unnecessary resistance."

A general shook his head and said, "It's a pity that if the 'Huoyun' city was just an army base, our five-day effort would be enough to destroy him. It's a pity, it's a pity..."

Wen Yuan said lightly: "Give them a month of effort. If they do not surrender in a month, even the millions of people will be killed... However, this publicity will be 25 days later, and the ultimatum will be given to them. Let everyone in the Southern Plains know that the Celestial Empire does not kill the people, but the Celestial Empire only cares for the obedient people... dare to resist the heavenly soldiers and kill them without mercy."

The generals bowed and saw that Wen Yuan had no instructions, so they walked out one after another.

Long Feng followed them out of the tent... Long Feng, who is already familiar with the magical transformation technique of hiding, is completely a monster according to Fense, so he naturally doesn't have to worry about being discovered by these people with only skilled martial arts. Perhaps no one will pay attention to the breeze that rises when the windshield of the tent is unveiled?

×××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××

Yang Tian listened carefully to the news that Long Feng heard, and kept slamming high and applauding: "Gao Ming, Gao Ming. The siege without fighting will make the people understand that the Tian Dynasty army is not a brutal army. Three days later, although the city was attacked, it did not break the city. At the same time, it cooperated with propaganda to let the people in civil strife and let everyone in the world know that the Tian Dynasty was indeed benevolent and righteous. As for the slaughter of the whole city in the end, it means that other people would be nervous and dare not cooperate with the Black Cloud Empire to resist with all their strength. And after pacifying the southern plains, they were not afraid of these people rebelling, right?"

Long Feng slapped him in the head and scolded: "Gaoming, what a big deal... If I had asked the people in my previous team to specialize in the work of bribing people's hearts to plan, and ensure that the common people would take the initiative to besiege the soldiers of the Black Cloud Empire to offer the city. How could they say that Gao Ming? It was just the simplest slap in the face and give them a candy."

Yang Tian was too lazy to ask Long Feng what kind of army his former team was, and simply asked: "So, how do you think of dealing with these people?"

Long Feng said lazily: "Baldian, before the army arrives, they will first set up camps a hundred miles outside the city, and then order the people to leave the city, leaving only the officers and soldiers, saying that they cannot bear the war to harm ordinary people, and ask the people to leave as soon as possible. Ten days later, they will attack the city with all their might, and say that those who do not leave will be regarded as enemies against the Celestial Empire..."

Yang Tian asked: "If the army is not allowed to leave? So what if there are reinforcements within ten days?"

Long Feng snorted coldly, and began to unfold the bed on his bed, asking: "If the army guarding the city does not allow the people to leave, he can completely refuse afterwards that he does not know that there are people in the city; plus some people who escaped will naturally say that the army guarding the city blocked their escape. In the end, we naturally occupied the people's hearts, and those people guarding the city lost the people's hearts... Reinforcements, do you think how many reinforcements can we have as soon as hundreds of thousands of reinforcements arrive, as long as new firearms are deployed, what's the use of them?"

Yang Tian said without saying a word, and after a long time, he said, "Yes, if there were no people in the city, as long as they were bombarded with all their might, the city would not be able to be defended. But why should Wen Yuan besieged the city so anxiously? Although there was a symbolic passage at the southern gate, who dared to escape through there? Who could come out of the city and escape?"

Long Feng took off his clothes, got into the quilt, stretched his waist, closed his eyes and said, "Wenyuan, he has no choice... First, the old emperor of the Celestial Dynasty urged him very much. Second, if he didn't find a place to stand before the beginning of winter, would it be that all the troops would eat up all their food and wait for death?"

Yang Tian shook his head: "It is warm in the southern continent, and it also requires a place to spend the winter."

Long Feng uttered vaguely, "Isn't that all. While winter has not arrived, we will build a place to spend the winter and raise the army and horses, and at the same time let the enemy troops in the southern continent get used to the fact that the Celestial Empire's actual occupation of the "Huoyun" city. When winter is over, we will march quickly and consume most of the Black Cloud Empire defenders, how can we defend it?"

Gnu asked foolishly: "You have thought of it for a long time? Then why did you tell us that Wen Yuan's plan does not match the 'blitz' battle? So, Wen Yuan didn't have the idea of ​​a quick attack at all."

Yang Tian gave him a blank look and whispered: "I guess he was the one who thought of just now..."

Long Feng suddenly snorted coldly, then continued to snore. Yang Tian shrugged and made a move to sleep on Gnu.

××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××

The three-day discount time was almost here. The "Huoyun" city, which had no news for a long time, could no longer hold back. A team of about a thousand people suddenly rushed out of the city gate and ran towards the passage more than two meters wide and more than 30 miles long left by the southern camp. They were all wearing some broken armor and carrying the weapons of the gap. They also shot a few arrows symbolically on the top of the city, bluffing the pursuit of deserters and other things, and there was no movement.

A soldier of the Black Cloud Empire, who was leading the army, shouted loudly: "We surrender, surrender, don't shoot arrows... We are here to surrender." The other soldiers began to take off their armor, combat boots and other objects on the way, and were preparing to hand over the weapons to the soldiers of the Celestial Kingdom on the side of the passage.

A first-rank general with a gloomy face ordered coldly: "Shoot."

Tens of thousands of powerful crossbows flew out, and the soldiers stared at the iron bars that suddenly appeared on their bodies, and fell to the ground in a slight manner. Only the one who led the lead drew his sword and cut off hundreds of powerful crossbows that greeted him, and roared: "We are specifically for escaping, you... your people in the Heavenly Kingdom do not keep their promises."

The general who ordered the order replied coldly, "Three days have passed, and you have no chance to surrender." His plain tone was mixed with thick internal strength, and the Yangtze River rushed away like waves. He shook the good hand who had cut hundreds of powerful crossbows and turned red. He staggered and took a few steps back, and ran back quickly towards the city gate.

The soldiers of the Celestial Empire burst into laughter: "Don't you know, Black Cloud boys, pretend to surrender, do you still think I'm not aware?"

Some arrogant soldiers shouted: "If you really surrender, you will wear the best armor and weapons to give to the old man. The old man may be soft-hearted and let you walk, hahahahaha..."

The south gate of the "Huoyun" city opened a gap slightly, allowing the black cloud soldier who suffered a little internal injury to flash into the city. At the same time, the sound of war drums sounded rumbling, with ten square formations in each direction, each square formation being ten thousand infantry, slowly pressing towards the "Huoyun" city. A special-quality general, Zhongma, said loudly: "From today, this dynasty will only accept the surrender of "Huoyun" city, and any deserters will be killed without mercy." The sound of combining strong internal strength spread throughout the battlefield, and the soldiers of the Celestial Empire shouted "hehe, hehe".

On the top of the city of "Huoyun" City, the dark muzzles and countless archers were exposed. All the soldiers looked nervously at the gradually approaching Tianchao siege brigade.

The army of the Celestial Empire gradually approached the city wall, and ordinary artillery, stone casters and archers from both sides showed their power at the same time. The magicians mixed in the soldiers' queue also desperately issued their most powerful offensive spells. The whistling shells, huge rocks, bows and arrows, or colorful magic energy balls greeted their brothers in the air, crossed side by side, and threw their bodies full of death breath towards the opponent's soldiers.

A volley shot caused the Tian Dynasty to lose tens of thousands of people, and the defenders in many areas were wiped out on the top of the "Huoyun" city.

Long Feng, who brought his men to watch the battle in the rear, said to Yang Tian depressedly: "Although there are advanced weapons, the combat concept still exists in the old-style siege of one side and the other side defends the city, so there is no way to exert the power of the new weapons."

Yang Tian looked at the new artillery team in the distance, nodded helplessly and said, "The enemy defenders and the people are mixed together, and there is no way to carry out large-scale artillery bombings."

Long Feng shook his head and said, "Are these more than 20 artillery considered large-scale artillery bombardment? Haha... it's too pediatric... In fact, if you take into account the harm of the people, then it is also a tragedy for such artillery to appear in the current era of high walls and strong buildings."

Yang Tiancao said, "It's strange. Didn't you say that when siege, you should keep one aspect so that the other party won't fight desperately? Why are we attacking from all sides now, and there is no gap at all?"

Long Feng bounced his fingers and said indifferently: "The dog is eager to jump over the wall. It depends on the strength of the dog-killer and the dog. Even if the "Huoyun" City tries hard, it will not be able to fight many soldiers of the Celestial Empire. How many shells and bows do you think there will be in their city? Although we need to prevent the fight between trapped beasts, we also need to see whether the trapped beast is a lion or a mouse. Be careful for a mouse, don't you think it's ridiculous?"

Yang Tian licked his lips: "I hope that even if the 'Huoyun' City is not a mouse, it will be like a rabbit and kick the Tianchao..."
