"The two dragons dare to attack us at this time?"
"Why don't you dare?"
Zhu Yuyan smiled lightly, looked at Zhu Wen as if he were an idiot, and continued:
“Shuanglong was born a gangster. Although he achieved great success for a while, he acted entirely based on his own preferences.
In contrast, the reputation of the Prince of Yan's Mansion is similar to that of a holy place like Cihang Jingzhai. Do you think they will unite with us to resist the Prince of Yan's Mansion? Or will they fight with us first and then surrender to the Prince of Yan's Mansion?"
"This"
Zhu Wen was suddenly speechless, because she knew that there was a high probability of this happening.
So he quickly asked Zhu Youwen to go down and strengthen the defense to prevent a surprise attack by the Young Marshal's Army. Most importantly, he did not want to fight a decisive battle with the Young Marshal's Army now.
When faced with a powerful enemy, instead of uniting to fight the enemy, they kill each other.
Zhu Wen didn't want the hegemony he had worked so hard to build to be destroyed.
And he didn't get a chance to do it again.
However, Zhu Youwen was still a step late.
boom! boom! boom!
Just when Zhu Wen wanted to burn the plank road between Guanzhong and Hanzhong.
In front of Tongguan and Wugu, under the command of Li Shouxi, ten rockets fell inside the two passes at the same time.
Suddenly, flames blazed and kerosene splashed everywhere.
The pass, which was once guarded by one man and impossible for ten thousand to break through, suddenly turned into a sea of fire, making the tens of thousands of Liang troops stationed at the pass dare not approach.
That's kerosene extracted from tung oil.
Therefore, even though the Liang army had earlier arranged fire prevention measures or used water trucks to put out the fire, the flames under the water dragons were still raging, with no sign of being extinguished.
This amount of time also gave the attacking Yan army the chance to occupy the top of the wall of the pass and completely capture the high ground!
Attack and defense are different. Facing the 150,000 elite soldiers of the Prince of Yan's Palace, the fate of the Liang army can be imagined.
Chapter 366 Kou Zhong's Choice
boom!
Zhu Youwen was just about to light the kerosene on the plank road when an overbearing and powerful force swept towards him from the front like a hurricane.
Even though the Ghost King was already at the Great Finger Profound Realm, he was still pushed back several feet before he got rid of that fierce energy.
Although the Nine Netherworlds Mysterious Heavenly Art is also a top-level offensive skill, the Ghost King Zhu Youwen only has the first volume, which is indistinguishable from the Shuanglong's Immortality Art.
But Shuanglong absorbed the righteousness of the Heshi Bi, completely restraining the Yinsha Zhenqi of the Jiuyou Xuantian Divine Art. Coupled with the suppression of the Great Celestial Realm, it only took one move for the Ghost King Zhu Youwen to suffer a small loss.
At the same time, he also realized that Shuanglong's strength was already above his.
"Kou Zhong!"
After seeing the person coming clearly, Ghost King Zhu Youwen was not surprised at all. He was just shocked that the Young Marshal's army had secretly passed through the Baoxiade Road.
This means that the young marshal's army is making a comeback. "Is it you, the red-haired monster, who wants to burn the plank road?"
Kou Zhong didn't expect that the Xiliang army had actually noticed their conspiracy. Fortunately, they were one step ahead, otherwise they might have been blocked here by the other side.
After all, once the plank road was burned, they could only wait until it was repaired before crossing.
In this case, there is no time to wait.
"Openly repairing the plank road, secretly marching through Chencang.
That's it!
Kou Zhong, who came to Chang'an from the Prince of Yan's Mansion last night and revealed your plan to attack Chang'an after the breakthrough. I didn't expect that my father was just one step cautious and actually discovered your plan to sneak into Chencang.
Someone in the Prince of Yan's Mansion obviously wants both of us to suffer heavy losses, and then take Guanzhong in one fell swoop.
This is all a conspiracy.”
"Red-haired monster, do you think we should believe it?
Even if someone wants to inform you, why go there in person? Isn't that sending a sheep into the tiger's mouth?"
As he spoke, Kou Zhong didn't wait for the Ghost King to reply, he swung the scimitar in his hand, releasing a ten-foot-long blade energy that was fierce and domineering and could sweep across thousands of troops.
The sword energy was looming, and the sky was collapsing and the earth was breaking apart.
The shocking power was so great that even the Ghost King was terrified.
After all, the righteous energy contained in the sword energy was restraining the eerie ghostly aura lingering around him, and wherever the sword energy reached, it melted quickly like snow in spring.
The Ghost King quickly retreated, risking the backlash of his true Qi, and left the battlefield.
He is a martial arts fanatic, not an idiot.
Faced with the righteous spirit that restrained the ghost energy of the Netherworld, not to mention that his Great Finger Profound Realm was weaker than the Great Celestial Realm, even if their realms were equal, he was far from being Kou Zhong's opponent.
Attack the Liang army from three directions.
Zhu Wen almost died when he heard the news.
Especially the speculation of Ghost King Zhu Youwen made Zhu Wen realize it.
The purpose of Li Shouxi's sudden trip to Chang'an was most likely to inform them of the surprise attack by the Young Marshal's army, hoping that both they and the Young Marshal's army would suffer heavy losses, and then the fisherman would reap the benefits.
Especially the feud between Shaoshuai’s army and Zhu Wen.
Add to that the hatred of the Demonic Queen and Cihang Jingzhai's extermination of the entire clan, and this situation is almost impossible to resolve.
Therefore, Li Shouxi only needed to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight.
Meanwhile, other forces received the news that Prince Yan's Mansion and Young Marshal's Army had entered the pass at the same time, and attacked from three sides.
Even Li Keyong could not escape this disaster, let alone Zhu Wen.
Not to mention the deterrence from Prince Yan's Mansion, just the Young Marshal's Army was enough to give Zhu Wen a hard time.
When the young marshal's army was ready to march towards Chang'an.
At this time, the Queen Yin left Chang'an City and prepared to hand over the evil emperor's relic to the evil king Shi Zhixuan according to Li Shouxi's agreement.
As long as the Evil King becomes the Evil Emperor, he will be doomed if he sits down.
After all, the Evil Emperor's relic is the key for the Yinhou Demon Sect to break through to the dual-level grandmaster level, and it is also the key to the Evil King's breakthrough. And the Evil King's breakthrough will turn him into the Immortal Evil Emperor.
After Queen Yin regained her sanity, she even planned to let the Evil King take the blame.
With the evil emperor's relics in hand, the evil king had no choice but to obey.
"Your Highness, are we going to attack Chang'an now?"
After Xia Luqi and Xiong Kuohai met in Guanzhong, they immediately asked for orders to take Chang'an, but were rejected by Li Shouxi.
Chang'an is the ancient capital of 13 dynasties, and the outer city wall alone is ten feet high.
What is the concept of ten feet?
Even a ninth-grade master of Qinggong might not be able to jump up in one leap, and would need a relay point, not to mention the risk of being pierced by thousands of arrows.
Therefore, with this kind of city defense, it is ten times more difficult to be the first to climb the city wall than with other city walls.
Moreover, with the example of rockets breaking into the city, Li Shouxi believed that at this time the gates of the Great Wall were definitely blocked by rocks, so there was no need for him to be the first to take action.
Otherwise, the price of forcibly breaking into the city would be that the remains of tens of thousands of soldiers would be left under the city walls.
"Keep your troops in place, guard the checkpoints, and let the young commander's army lead the charge.
As for you? Lead people to clear the other two levels first.
Remember, don't act rashly and interfere in their fight......"
"Yes, Your Highness!"
Xia Luqi didn't know what Li Shouxi meant, but he still led 50,000 soldiers and took a detour to Xiaoguan and Dasanguan.
After all, whoever controls the four passes will control the gateway to Guanzhong.
No matter who wins, it's like beating the dog behind closed doors.
The purpose of the Young Marshal's army was to target Zhu Wen directly, and they had no intention of having any conflict with Li Shouxi.
The Prince of Yan’s Mansion is an army of justice!
Let's not talk about the rumors in Liaodong before. Just look at the performance of the Prince of Yan's Mansion after entering the Central Plains:
Confiscate the lands of the noble families and distribute them to the common people; abolish the head tax, the capitation tax, or corvée, and directly adopt a unified land tax; open the granaries to release grain, and use work instead of relief.
Although it was only a short period of time, it had already won the hearts of the people in all parts of the Central Plains.
It is also rumored that the Prince of Yan's palace built the new capital by hiring workers for corvée. The workers were provided with three meals a day, received a monthly salary, and even received commissions for working overtime at night.
This is all open and transparent.
At least this has been the case for the subordinates in Prince Yan's Mansion in the past few months. Every worker has received his or her salary, without exception.
Especially for night shift workers, the overall number is 20% more, and they also have a midnight snack.
This made the corvées even more excited, and they all asked to work night shifts.
After all, this is a 20% commission!
Therefore, the new capital and the imperial palace, which originally took five years to build, can be completed in two years at the current speed.
The most important 2.5 is that these were all witnessed by Ssangyong himself.
They practiced at the Jingnian Zen Temple near Xindu, and could often be seen under the bright lights of Xindu, a group of shirtless strong men working overtime busily without any complaints.
Therefore, Kou Zhong, who absorbed the righteous energy, put aside his ambitions and decided to put the world first!
Taking the lead at this time is to relieve the pressure on Prince Yan's Mansion.
Also to avenge themselves and understand past grudges.
In this way, even if they win in the end, they will surrender to the Prince of Yan's Palace on the grounds that their strength has been greatly damaged.
And their Shuanglong took the opportunity to retreat.
After all, they are top masters in the Great Celestial Realm, so it is naturally very easy for them to withdraw.
They believed that King Yan could not fail to see their sincerity.
At least they will not treat the surrendered young marshal's troops with disdain.
Chapter 367: Feiyun Destroys the City, the Immortal Evil Emperor
In Chang'an City!
It was already the third day that the Young Marshal's army had been attacking Chang'an City.
Under normal circumstances, there would be nothing wrong. With at least 100,000 soldiers stationed there and food and fodder stockpiled by the wealthy and powerful families, it would be no problem for the natural barrier of the Chang'an city wall to hold out for several months.
But Shuanglong was not a person who played by the rules. When Zhu Wen was trying his best to defend the city wall.
The Leaping Horse Bridge piers under the starlight!
At this time, a group of extremely mysterious black shadows emerged from the bridge piers and then followed the water flow to the slums.
Compared to the rich areas which still had surplus food after being looted, the civilian areas really became slums.
After all, after Zhu Wen's army swept through, the remaining food would not last more than three days. Moreover, they had already fought for three days, and with the previous fortification and clearing of the countryside, they could not go out to look for food for at least five days.
The appearance of Feiyunwei gave hope to the civilians who were almost starving to death.
The young marshal's army had treated them well before.
It was only after Zhu Wen's army arrived that they were transformed from civilians into paupers, and countless people starved to death during this period.
At this time, the young marshal's army came back again, and the people of Chang'an were naturally very happy.
Therefore, not only did the crowd not expose the existence of Feiyunwei, but they helped Feiyunwei to cover up the information and conceal their identities.
So before dawn, when the Marshal's army outside pretended to attack other city gates, the Feiyun Guards inside took the opportunity to sneak up to the nearest city gate tower, alarming the patrol team above.
But fortunately, their number is small, and Feiyunwei is a special team in the young marshal's army with extremely strong strength.
The moment the drums on the city gate tower sounded, the young marshal's troops lurking outside began to charge, while hundreds of Feiyun Guards inside quickly moved the stones and opened the city gate.
