Chapter 217 Broken Sword Villa(1/2)
() The carriage was swaying violently as it quickly moved towards Broken Sword Villa.
This is Liu Xia's first time stepping into the core territory of the Liang family.
The three northwest provinces have a vast territory.
There are only a few places to go.
After crossing the Tongtian Mountains, there are endless stretches of Yunfei Plain.
Along the way, wherever you look, there are fertile fields.
It was supposed to be the growing season for dragon tooth rice and golden rice.
It's a pity that at first glance, there are traces of being burned by the fire.
Liu Xia accidentally opened the car window and saw a Liang family farm in the distance.
There, although the fire was extinguished, the billowing smoke shot straight into the sky.
Apparently, there had been fierce fighting there.
After the Tongtian Mountains, a radius of four hundred miles is the core territory of the Liang family.
There are excellent natural pastures in the north, and there are thousands of hectares of fertile farmland in the center.
The Liang family has been operating here for many years. From this, we can see how strong the Liang family's financial resources are.
However, the moment Broken Sword Villa was captured, it would be difficult for this powerful family in the northwest to rise from here.
The convoy traveled non-stop for two days and nights in the plain before arriving at the outskirts of Broken Sword Villa.
From a distance, Liu Xia saw their camp.
At this moment, their camp is stationed in the farm outside Broken Sword Villa.
This place was once a prosperous town, but it has been beaten beyond recognition.
After getting off the car and settling down with everyone in Yaowenxin, Liu Xia headed straight for the Chinese army camp.
Entering the camp, they saw Miaoyin, with the help of a group of elders, standing on the sand table of Broken Sword Villa, frowning tightly.
Liu Xia had never been to Broken Sword Villa, but when he looked at the sand table at Broken Sword Villa, he was still a little surprised.
Broken Sword Villa is said to be a villa, but it is actually a city.
The scale is probably the same as that of Weiyang City, not much different.
The entire villa is built on a plain, and there happen to be two rivers passing through the villa on the left and right.
Usually, there is a bridge connecting the river to facilitate pedestrians passing by.
Today, the bridge has been destroyed and the villa is isolated by water.
The opponent built fortifications along the river.
It is estimated that in order to attack Duijian Villa, crossing these two rivers is a hurdle.
After breaking through the outer defense line, Broken Sword Villa was defended by a solid city.
The city is divided into three levels, with the outer city being the tallest.
The height is ninety feet, and even a martial arts master might not be able to jump up.
The city is divided into five inner cities.
The final center is the area where the Liang family lives, and is protected by the inner city wall.
Looking at this situation, even if the city is breached and the Liang family resists desperately, the street fighting will take a long time.
"As expected of the first clan in the northwest. This city is really as solid as a rock and as solid as gold."
Liu Xia smiled lightly.
Miaoyin was startled and immediately clasped her fists and said, "Your Highness, when did you come?"
He immediately shouted to the people around him: "Why don't you spread the word?"
"It's okay. I see that the army is very busy, so I asked people to stop shouting. In order to avoid stirring up troops and delaying the main business. I just want to say something simple."
Liu Xia smiled.
"As ordered. We have eliminated the enemies outside Broken Sword Villa. There are still a small group of enemies. Before they had time to retreat to Broken Sword Villa, Lord Zhe Tian had already gone to encircle and suppress them."
Speaking of this, Miaoyin said with a melancholy look on her face: "We have stationed troops in the four directions of the villa. The Liang family's army is now huddled inside and dare not come out. I am going to try to attack the city tomorrow.
See if there are any flaws in the other party."
"Very good. Take me to see the Liang family's city."
Liu Xia said calmly.
Miaoyin nodded, then led his soldiers and Liu Xia towards the outside of the military camp.
Here, less than ten miles away from Broken Sword Villa, it is located on the left side of the river.
Under the escort, the group walked for less than two quarters of an hour before reaching the other side of the moat of Broken Sword Villa.
Liu Xia raised his head and looked at the majestic Broken Sword Villa in the distance. Even though he had been mentally prepared, he was still a little surprised.
The Liang family chose to build the city here, which was a perfect fit.
The Nu River is an important river in the northwest.
There is abundant water all year round, nourishing the Yunfei Plain.
When the Nu River reaches this point, it magically splits into two, sandwiching Broken Sword Villa in the middle.
It is estimated that in the beginning, this place was just a high ground.
The reason for the formation may also be that the Nu River flows through here, the water flow slows down, and the impact of sediment is deposited, forming an isolated island.
The island grew larger and larger, and was later discovered by the Liang family, who chose to build a city here.
The Nu River, which is divided into two parts, has become a natural barrier.
The surface of the Nu River is more than thirty meters wide, and the water flow is calm, but underneath, there are undercurrents moving.
From a distance, Liu Xia could see the guards of the Liang family on the other side, practicing.
"Your Highness, it turns out that there are two bridges on the east and west sides of this city. Look, the bridge piers are still there."
Miaoyin stretched out her hand.
Liu Xia followed his fingers and counted, and sure enough, there were traces of the bridge dozens of meters away.
However, this bridge has been burned down.
Only the bridge piers remain there.
Once the bridge is broken, the entire Broken Sword Villa becomes an isolated city.
If you want to cross, you must cross the Nu River.
Moreover, there is an enemy position on the other side. Even if it is past, it is impossible to gain a foothold, let alone attack the city.
The natural dangers of the Nu River alone left Miaoyin with nothing to do.
"Your Highness, if we want to cross the river normally, the losses will be very heavy. Even if we can seize the other side, the area there is simply not enough for us to launch an attack. I am afraid that as soon as we get ashore, we will be beaten by the enemy. Attack the city.
It is absolutely impossible."
Miaoyin said worriedly.
"Yes, it will cost a lot to build ships."
Liu Xia nodded and said.
"Your Highness is always resourceful, can you find a way this time?"
Miaoyin raised her head and asked with a glimmer of hope.
Liu Xia suddenly shook his head. Facing such a carefully designed barrier, even if the God of War was still alive, there would be no shortcut.
The only way is to attack by force.
The main thing here is to take a look. Without fighting, Liu Xia seemed to see a scene of rivers of blood.
"Let's go back."
Liu Xia turned around and walked towards the military camp.
The danger of Broken Sword Villa was indeed beyond his expectation.
However, this is exactly what Liu Xia said he expected.
Today, the troops of the Holy Cult are still very powerful.
The losses in the Battle of Duanshui Hills were not heavy.
And Broken Sword Villa was the place where they were completely destroyed.
It is estimated that after the Broken Sword Villa is captured, there will probably be very few men and horses left in the Holy Sect.
At that time, we can take action and deal with them completely.
