It permeated his heart.

After opening the letter and browsing the contents on the letter, Qiu Yuanshan's face turned pale. He suddenly wrinkled the paper, his eyes closed, and his whole body trembled, as if he was trying hard to suppress the waves in his heart.

"Sir, what happened?" Deputy Commander Zhen Deming saw this and hurriedly stepped forward.

Qiu Yuanshan's lips were pursed tightly, and a blue face was shaking. After a while, he opened his eyes, his eyes were red, and tears flashed inside.

"Deming, Yu Hai is dead!" When Qiu Yuanshan said this, almost all his strength was exhausted.

"What?!" Zhen Deming screamed in shock: "Master Yuhai is dead, what happened."

Qiu Yuanshan was still immersed in deep sorrow, and did not even want to say more, so he handed the parchment to Zhen Deming. Zhen Deming quickly supported the flat paper and calmed down his face. "The Western Front Camp was broken by Liuyun Cavalry led by the Demon General, and General Qiu Yuhai died for his country... The 20,000 wolf army left behind were destroyed..."

"This...this...this...this...this is said, what's said...this is impossible, it's impossible!" Zhen Deming could hardly believe what was said, but the royal seal in the letter clearly told him that this matter was true.

Qiu Yuanshan's face seemed to be aged in his teens, and his voice became hoarse due to extreme grief: "Deming, retreat, return to the Western Front."

Zhen Deming was shocked and said in a lost voice: "Master Commander!"

No matter who can see that this is the critical moment for the Wolf Army to make achievements. Although Yulong Mountain is indestructible, the Earth Wolf Army with the Griffon Knight is truly taking the initiative. As long as they are trapped, they will wait for the opportunity sooner or later. Now that they are retreating, these months of efforts will be wasted.

Although Qiu Yuanshan was extremely sad, the nature of the soldier made him unable to act emotionally. Compared with the Weirong East Line, the Cangyue Western Line is the fundamental. What's more, the Western Line is connected to the millions of people of Cangyue Kingdom. Every time the Western Line is staying in the hands of Liuyun soldiers for a day, the more dangerous it is.

What a Liuyun Kingdom, what a demon general, dare to attack my Cangyue Kingdom. I want to see if you have such a big appetite and can swallow such a large piece of fat.

After the grief, the flames of Qiu Yuanshan's anger burned.

...

On the top of Yulong Mountain, Gui Zang, Retlin and others looked at the wolf army that was leaving. They were all in deep thought.

"Dude, is the Wolf Army... retreating? Could it be a prank of an enemy?" Gui Zang asked hoarsely. His eyes were red and his hair was half white. The pain of defending the Eastern Front this month was not worthy of being told by outsiders.

Retlin looked firmly at the smoke and dust in the distance, and the wolf army retreated and defended. The griffin sky was eyeing it with a coveted shape. The formation was well-experienced, and he could not judge Qiu Yuanshan's true intentions.

Pretending to retreat? Who dares to pursue the wolf army's posture? There is no confusion at all.

Retreat? Why should you withdraw... just because you brought these 30,000 reinforcements?

If Qiu Yuanshan is such a person who is easy to give up, how could he be praised by Shang Chi Yun for "the toughness of the candy".

"Qiu Yuanshan...what he is going to do..."

...

Xi Cinema, the largest city on the western front of Cangyue, is not as good as the strong city in mainland China like Sopadin, but its defenses are also ranked among the major cities in Cangyue Kingdom.

The biggest feature of Xi Cinema is that it is divided into three consecutive cities, outer city, middle city, inner city, outer city, outer city, outer city walls are as high as ten meters high, all of which are made of black martial rock produced in the western part of Cangyue Kingdom. The black martial rock is not as strong as green stone, but its surface is as smooth as a mirror and is extremely difficult to climb. The Zhongcheng city wall is six meters reinforced with earth and stone, but the inner city wall is as high as eight meters high. There are dense giant crossbows on the city wall. The city reserves are very sufficient fortresses, which can be said to be a giant fortress.

When Yang Zheng led the Yellow Sheep Cavalry to appear on Shouyang Mountain, twenty miles outside Xichuang City, the sun hung westward, and the afterglow of the setting sun shone on the distant Xichuang City. The side near the sun was dyed with golden color, and the exterior wall made of black martial rock reflected particularly strongly, almost making the entire outer area become a golden dragon.

Such a spectacular scenery is the origin of Xi Cinema.

Yang Zheng stood on the huge rocks on the high ground of Shouyang Mountain, and his quiet eyes were staring at the Xiying City in the distance.

His eyesight, which is far beyond ordinary people, clearly reflects the beauty of Xiying City, and also captures the dense shadows on Xiying City walls. Ant-like streams are walking back and forth on the city walls, and the battlements are covered with catapults, giant crossbows, buckets of turbulent oil are brought to the city wall, the city gates are tightly closed, and the suspension bridge is also closed. The scattered swords, guns, swords and halberds reflect the cold cold light in the glow of the setting sun, forming a strong contrast with the beautiful and gorgeous sunset city.

The news that Liuyun Kingdom had attacked Cangyue's Western Front spread at a plague-like speed.

Now people in the western front of Cangyue are in panic. The Cangyue Kingdom has entered a state of national alert for the third time in more than a hundred years. The first time is when Chi Yun defeated Cangyue's army thirty years ago, and the second time is when Zuo Qingzi tricked Qiu Yuanshan seven years ago.

The shadow of war enveloped the people of Cangyue, who were accustomed to peace.

...

The sun sets, and the gorgeous appearance of Xiying City retreats, revealing the black exterior wall. Under the night, it looks like a crouching giant beast. The countless swords, guns, swords and halberds on the city wall are the sharp-toothed minions of this black giant beast. When Yang Zheng brought the army to Xiying City, Xiying City was already under high alert.

Although the Western Front Camp is the military center of the entire western region, as the most important city on the Western Front, there are still 10,000 soldiers in Xiying City.

"The Art of War" says, "The superior army attacks the plan, and then attacks the diplomatic relations, and then attacks the troops, and then attacks the city."

In the cold weapon war, siege war, as the most difficult war, has always been a war that various military commanders try their best to avoid.

Even with Qiu Yuanshan's strength, he could not help Yulongshan for so long. In the end, he had to use a trick to lead Ramonster out of Yulongshan to defeat him, and then he stopped for a long time. Facing a tight defense and a high city, he had enough food.

Not to mention that Yang Zheng had only 20,000 people, and he went deep into the hinterland of Weirong Kingdom. If he was intercepted by the wolf army, Yang Zheng would undoubtedly be defeated.

The rumbling sound of the landmineering god pierced the suppressed silence.

The violent fires swayed the Xi Cinema City under the night, and the entire earth was shaking. The dust on the beams of the city fell, and the tea sets and bowls on the table also kept shaking at high frequency. Under such a powerful force of intimidation of the power of heaven and earth, the people in the city were shocked. At this moment, there were thousands of people in the Xi Cinema City. The people hid at home, and there were only soldiers who occasionally patrol night patrols and convoys of vehicles transporting the city to guard the city.

Xiying City was built on the Western Front Plain. Thirty years ago, it was originally a wasteland. It was because Chi Yun led the army to defeat Cangyue and almost entered Zhongdu when he swept across the Western Front. Later, Cangyue Kingdom learned lessons and spent more than ten years of manpower to break out a city on this wasteland. Tigers were on the western front. Although there was no danger to the western front and Xiying City was also an isolated city, Cangyue Kingdom spent a lot of manual drainage from the pig water, and the moat water was inexhaustible all year round. The water surface was thirty meters wide, and it was easy to defend and difficult to attack. The city was only divided into two gates, the inner, middle and outer gates, and the three cities in the inner, middle and outer gates were also run through a road connected by the north and south gates.

Yang Zhenglai had also done his homework before. Xi Cinema is the largest city on the western front, and can attack and defend. If Yang Zheng wants to make a difference in Cangyue's country, he must find a place to rely on danger. After all, he only has 20,000 cavalry, and one less dies.

The only thing that is beneficial to him is Xiying Lonely City. As long as he is given time, he will be able to take it down sooner or later.

He had to fight a time difference with Qiu Yuanshan. Qiu Yuanshan's large troops were rushing back, and he could only grab Xi Cinema before him.

When it was dark, Yang Zheng instructed the soldiers of the Thunder God Camp to start the first round of harassment, four hundred meters outside the south gate of Xiying City.

The way to attack the city is nothing more than the method of filling the moat with earth bags, the method of climbing the city with hook ladders, the method of hitting the city gate with a car, the method of climbing the city with a cloud ladder, the method of shooting the city with a high landing, the method of shooting the city with a high landing (spee in the city), the method of arson, the method of digging tunnels into the city with a tunnel with a tunnel with a digging method of destroying the city wall, the method of climbing the city with a high pressure, the method of climbing the city with a tower with a cart, the method of destroying the city wall with a tower, the method of hitting the city with a tower, the method of destroying the city with a stone cart (cannon stone) attack, etc.

But it's all fantasy. Just the simple equipment equipped by Liuyun Kingdom is too difficult to rely on frontal impact.

Yang Zheng looked at the city wall in the distance. Although the power of Thunder God Cannon is quite huge, the bullets consumed by attacking Xi Cinema using this method are probably an amazing number. Yang Zheng himself did not carry enough ground bullets, and among them, there are even a few bullets made of the latest fire cotton.

It is too difficult to produce some firearms on a large scale in this simple era. In the era of cold weapons, it is indeed necessary to rely on cold weapons to solve the problem.

Thor can be used, but it is by no means the key to victory or defeat.

The shells exploded on the city wall, which looked amazing, but the solidity of the black martial arts rock and the thickness of the city wall exceeded Yang Zhengdi's imagination. After more than ten consecutive rounds of fire, only dozens of shallow marks of various sizes were left on the city wall.

Yang Zheng commanded the soldiers to stop the attack.

"Replace solid bullets and harass them every half an hour."

After handing over the command of the front line to Manta, Yang Zheng led the yellow sheep cavalry and several large chariots of powder kegs to the upstream along the moat.

Xiying City is driven by pig water and rushes in, and it continues all year round.

To conquer the city, the water source must be cut off.

There is a very narrow gorge thirty miles upstream of the Pig Water. Since Yang Zheng escaped from Cangyue Kingdom, he has simulated how to sweep the Western Front thousands of times. After his revenge was weak, he thought that those preparations would not be used, but in the end his fate tricked him into setting foot on this land again.

The river is breathing rapidly at the mouth of the gorge, and the cliffs on both sides are steep, so it is very difficult to pass by the river. Thinking of the only way to cut off the flow - it is to explode the cliff.

If Yang Zheng had not invented the fire cotton, all this would be delusions.

After finding a suitable placement on the cliff, Yang Zheng asked the soldiers to carry out powder barrels one by one and fixed them inside. These powder barrels were extremely simple, but almost filled with the national reserves.

The gunpowder barrel was lit on a torch. After leaving a hundred meters, the torch just ignited to the gunpowder. With the violent flames, the entire cliff collapsed. The gravel fell into the river and pinched the surging river. After the efforts of the cavalry again in the middle of the night, the river was completely blocked in the early morning.

The water flow that lost its source gradually dried up.

After a night of harassment, when Yang Zheng rushed back to Xiying City again, the entire city was filled with smoke, and the moat outside the city was broken, and wooden stakes were exposed under the river.

Manta finally waited until Yang Zheng came back, but he was impatient to order the attack, but Yang Zheng stopped him.

"General Yu, the scout came to report that Qiu Yuanshan has rushed back to the western front and is rushing towards here for a maximum of two days. The army will arrive. If we cannot break the city by then, we will have to break through." Manta was defeated by Yang Zheng and always admired him very much. Now he has to question Yang Zheng's decision.

Yang Zheng took off his helmet, stroked his scattered hair behind his head, and shook his head gently: "Wait a little longer, the time has not come yet. Don't worry, if we can't get Xi Cinema tonight, we will break through."

With Yang Zheng's guarantee, Manta felt a little calm.

Continuous harassment. It has always been like a thick cloud pressing on the head of Xi Cinema. Under the attack of Thunder artillery fire, what does it mean to be unable to fall asleep for a day and a night? The 80,000 military and civilians of Xi Cinema are like white rats who have been running in cages for a day. They are exhausted.

After the night was about to deploy the battle plan again, Yang Zheng put on a light black suit alone and hid in the night.

Without a rushing moat, Yang Zheng avoided the wooden stakes and walked under the city wall.

The impregnable Xi Cinema can stop the military's footsteps, but cannot stop experts like Yang Zheng.

Found a safety place on the west side of the city wall. Yang Zheng took out a rope from his arms and shot it at the city wall. After fixing it, he slowly climbed up along the city wall. The night cover and his outstanding mental power made Yang Zheng easily mingle into the city.

On the wall

A group of soldiers, the explosion at the south gate was still the same. The Thunder God Cannon itself did not cause any damage, but its own deterrence was really huge for the Cangyue people who had never seen hot weapons. Yang Zheng clearly felt a little frightened, tired, and nervous social distorted face.

Hiding under the shadow of the city tower, Yang Zheng saw a burly man wearing golden armor and holding a giant sword standing on the highest platform of the city wall. His bright eyes and his majestic aura showed the extraordinaryness of this person. His every move and gesture made Yang Zheng affirm that this person was the guardian of Xiying City.

After pinching the knife handle in his hand, Yang Zheng suppressed the desire to assassinate the city guards, and after assassinating a soldier, dressed up as his appearance, he smuggled into the city.

Under the night, a fire in the city rushed into the sky, which was a rocket.

Manta, who saw the rocket direction from afar, suddenly stood up, with an excited and ferocious expression on his face. The two thousand soldiers following him were all wearing black night clothes, with crossbows and scimitars on their waists.

"General Yu succeeds, let's go!" Manta ordered in a deep voice.

At the same time, the artillery of Thunder God Camp fired even more violently towards the city wall, and Tianlang led the army forward. Tens of thousands of demon troops were constantly shouting, and hundreds of torches were lit up together, making the outside of the south gate of Xiying City blood red, and the momentum was terrifying.

The soldiers of Xiying City on the city wall suddenly tense up. They waited for a day and night, and their morale was already dragged to a minimum. The invaders finally launched a general attack. Many soldiers raised the courage to shoot arrows outside the city, but the soldiers of Liuyun Kingdom did not suppress them very far, but kept shouting two hundred meters away, making the soldiers of Xiying City not know when they would attack.

At this time, fire suddenly began to catch fire in many places in the city, and the fires inexplicably started to burn, causing civilians who were close to collapse to rush to the streets.

Yang Zheng even ran into the middle city and ignited the slave camp and prisoner camp in the city.

For a time, nearly a thousand slaves and prisoners ran to the streets. In the dark, they saw the fires everywhere on the streets. The evil factors of these slave prisoners erupted. They killed many soldiers who came to stop the escape and snatched the weapons in their hands. At the same time, they began to set fire, rob, and kill people everywhere.

The civilians even thought the city had been broken.

The city defense force could only draw out some people to start going to the streets to maintain order, and at the same time directed the civilians to extinguish the larger and larger flames.

There was a mess inside and outside the city.
