You have mastered the art of thunder and you tell me that it is in a strange world?

Chapter 249: Opening the City

"I will help you take down Changjun City. This way, Xuzhou will be much safer and there will be no more troubles that will disturb the people."

Zuo Chen said.

Xiao Changcheng was stunned at first, and then an expression of surprise immediately appeared on his face.

If someone else said this, Xiao Changcheng would definitely ask, "What are your plans? Can they really be accomplished?"

But when his own Taoist said this, Xiao Changcheng could only say: "Can my Taoist really lie to me? Even if he did lie to me, it was for my own good."

In a good mood, taking advantage of the high morale and the fact that the army had suffered little loss, Xiao Changcheng directly notified several of his adjutants and asked them to prepare as soon as possible, march directly into Changjun City, and drive out the Qingzhou people in one go.

Several adjutants had also been following Xiao Changcheng at the time, so they naturally knew Zuo Chen's abilities. Upon hearing Zuo Chen's promise, their morale was boosted, and they immediately organized their march and continued to move forward.

The ordinary soldiers also saw the divine power, and their spirits became strong, as if there was a fire burning in their chests. They even wanted to sing a few songs as they marched. As a result, the marching speed was several points faster than usual.

Morale, an invisible thing, does have a significant impact on the army.

On the other hand, the defeated Qingzhou army also suffered from the invisible "curse" called morale.

The Qingzhou army returned to the Changjun City stronghold in dejection.

The one guarding the city was an old veteran, very old, usually very serious and seldom talked. He didn't have many hobbies except drinking. He could gain ten kilograms of weight, was good at riding and shooting, and he was not yet old.

He is loyal to Prince Shou and has been a general following Prince Shou for a long time. He was sent here this time as a backup in case of any accidents.

The deserter's return left him confused.

How come they retreated so soon after sending out the troops?

And when the old general defending the city hurried out to greet them, he was stunned and dumbfounded for a long time.

It’s not because many people died. On the contrary, not many people died among the Qingzhou troops who withdrew!
The entire team's entourage and logistics at the rear were almost completely intact. The biggest blow they suffered was that they lost all their weapons and armor during the evacuation, as well as a lot of cooking pots.

Quite a few elite soldiers in the front row died, as much as one third of them.

The injuries the soldiers suffered were also very strange.

Most of them were arrow wounds on the back, and some soldiers had scars that looked like they were caused by horse hooves. No one knew what happened.

This looks...

It's a bit like someone got beaten up and ran away!

The leader of the defending army was really confused, so he started to capture the retreating soldiers and question them.

After hearing the answer from the fleeing soldier, the defending leader was even more confused.

He heard three versions of the answer.

The logistics at the end said:

"We don't know either. The soldier in front ran back directly. He must have encountered some powerful army and couldn't defeat them."

The soldier in the middle said:

"The team was too long, and we didn't know what happened in front of us, but we only heard screams and heard that there were some male and female beings, immortals, and a lot of them! There must be some powerful people who can use magical powers. We wanted to resist a little longer, but the front was already collapsing like a mountain, and we couldn't stop them, so we had to run with them."

When the veteran asked the front row, the soldiers covered in scars seemed to be crazy, muttering:

"General Tiandao is a female! General Tiandao is a female! She was hacked to death by a male! Those Xuzhou thieves are all ghosts, all ghosts! They can't be cut by swords or shot by arrows! Help! Help!"

This made the old general guarding the city dumbfounded.

What is male and female? What are these people doing?

General Tiandao is dead?

What about the Zhonglang Jiang? He wouldn't be dead too!

Feeling extremely anxious, the veteran general defending the city could only look around and ask around.

After working on it for half the morning and determining the cause and effect, the old general defending the city looked grim.

The two veteran generals who went out to lead the troops were both dead, and the people of Xuzhou were invulnerable to swords and guns.

Am I in a war, or am I listening to a bunch of storytellers talking nonsense in a tavern?
If there weren't so many people and their testimonies were not exactly the same, the veteran general would definitely pick out a few soldiers, chop off their heads, and then question the rest of the people, asking them to think carefully about whether what they said was wrong.

But what can we do now?

People were in panic all around. If I chopped off their heads again, morale would probably drop even further.

In that case, Changjun City might not be able to be defended.

There was really no other way, the old general guarding the city could only quickly light the communication incense and report the news in the direction of Qingzhou.

The communication incense can only be connected to a single line, but even so, the old general guarding the city can hear the angry roar of King Shou on the other side of the incense.

He could imagine Prince Shou's current anger, and knew very well that after this battle, the fate of these soldiers would probably not be good.

However, the situation currently faced by the veteran defenders of the city is indeed tricky. Even Prince Shou's advisors must be cautious and prudent. I am afraid they will have to discuss it for some time.

The veteran defenders can only stay here temporarily and continue to fulfill their duties of defending the city.

But he did not expect that he, a general defending Qingzhou, would actually go to Xuzhou to defend the city of Xuzhou.

Damn it, life is so unpredictable.

After cutting off the incense stick, the old general guarding the city was having a headache when suddenly a herald ran in hurriedly and stood in front of the old general:

"Report! The Xuzhou army is charging!"

"what?"

The old general defending the city almost vomited blood.

How come this group of people came so quickly?

My men had just escaped and you followed us not long ago.

Non-stop, right?

Aren’t you tired of chasing me all this way?
The old general guarding the city had a gloomy face and quickly came to the city wall.

Looking outside, I saw that outside Changjun City, the vast plain was already filled with soldiers from Xuzhou.

To the veteran general defending the city, these damn Xuzhou people were obviously few in number and poorly equipped. In their eyes, such an army was nothing but a pile of mud!
But they stood in neat rows and maintained strict discipline. The old general defending the city saw so many soldiers and thought that this group of scum from Xuzhou was ranked first.

If this group of people were given good equipment, I'm afraid they could really break down this thick city wall!

It’s a pity that it’s not possible now.

Although Changjun City has become desolate, the city walls are still there.

Setting up ladders and using wooden stakes to knock down the door, these all require a lot of effort and strength. How could it be possible to break in without spending ten days or half a month!
It's impossible for the other side to just jump out and shout "Open" at the city wall, and the entire wall will be split in two along the middle!

In short, we must hold on first, and whether we retreat or stay here, we must follow Prince Shou's orders.

……

"So, Master Dao, what you mean is that you will point at Changjun City and shout "Open", and then the city wall will split in two, and then we can just rush in?"

"I think you must have presumptuously processed what I just said..." Zuo Chen rubbed his head: "When the time comes, you just rush in. The effect of the talisman has not worn off yet. The other party should be scared by now, so there shouldn't be any problem."

"There's really no problem..."

Xiao Changcheng's lips trembled slightly.

The main problem is not the siege plan!

The main problem is that you just need to open the city wall!
How much skill does this require?!
Why did Xiao Changcheng remember that when he first followed the Taoist priest, the Taoist priest never displayed such powerful means?

"Okay, everything is up to you."

Xiao Changcheng finally nodded, then looked at the soldiers behind him and asked them to get ready.

The soldiers closest to them also showed puzzled expressions. They were the first group of soldiers to follow Xiao Changcheng. Naturally, they had seen Zuo Chen distribute porridge and knew that Zuo Chen was highly capable and was an immortal. But now they didn't know what he wanted to do.

While waiting patiently, I saw Zuo Chen getting off the donkey cart, standing on the high slope, staring at Changjun City in the distance.

Using the stone-carrying technique, Zuo Chen can indeed break the city wall, but this technique mainly relies on moving. If he wants to make a gap in the city wall, Zuo Chen may have to use objects and do some other tricks.

After thinking for two seconds, Guan Xiaochangcheng took a piece of paper, picked up the Dow Jones Industrial Average, and used the paper as a small altar.

Zuo Chen pressed both hands on the paper.

Xiao Changcheng opened his eyes wide and could already guess what Zuo Chen was going to do.

From Zuo Chen's perspective, the paper and the city wall are vertical.

Like one thing.

The method was put into action, and the paper was torn into two with a gentle tear.

The earth also shook violently!
Smoke and dust rose, fog flew, the sky shook and the earth cracked, shaking in all directions!

A sound like thunder came from the plain, and the huge city wall was instantly split in two!
As Zuo Chen tore the rice paper, the city wall opened to both sides, one side facing the east and the other side facing the west, with smoke and dust billowing and wind howling!

Looking at the city in the distance, Xiao Changcheng's eyes widened and his mouth opened wider and wider.

At the beginning, Xiao Changcheng also traveled with Zuo Chen for a period of time and saw some of Zuo Chen's mysterious methods, whether it was sharing porridge with only one bowl or shaking the wheat in the field, they were all local magical skills.

The meteorite falling into the city later opened Xiao Changcheng's eyes even more.

But compared with the current means, all the previous magical powers pale in comparison.

This is an image of heaven moving and a mighty power that shocks the world. How can a mortal man achieve this?

How many tricks does the Taoist priest have?

When looking at Zuo Chen again, Xiao Changcheng's eyes showed even more awe.

By then, the city wall was completely split in two, and the entire interior of Changjun City appeared before him. Xiao Changcheng seemed to have just woken up from a dream.

He immediately raised his knife and pointed at Changjun:
"My men, the Taoist priest will open the sky and tear the city wall like paper! With this good opportunity given by the Taoist priest, why don't I kill those Qingzhou people!"

The soldiers shouted in unison, the momentum was overwhelming, and their morale was like a visible fire, burning and beating.

How can you be defeated with an immortal by your side?
With one move, they attacked Changjun.
