Yunzhou.

Zhao Ning and Wei Wuxian were sitting in the tower playing chess, both of them were content.

The lady kneeling next to her making tea is plump, well-dressed, with charming and affectionate eyebrows, and every move she makes is light and expressive.

The sound of killing outside the city tower was loud, and a fierce battle was raging. The soldiers of the two armies were fighting to the death. The city wall seemed to be caught in a hurricane on the sea, crumbling amidst the huge waves and howling wind.

The tower in the center of the storm is like an island, but it is peaceful and peaceful, as if it is outside the incident. Even though the swords and swords are close in front of you, no arrow or arrow can get even half a step closer to the window.

After finishing the chess game, he took the teacup from the maid's hand as white as an onion and took a sip. Wei Wuxian breathed a sigh of relief, put down the teacup, and looked out the window.

"Boshu is crazy. He is attacking day and night, and all the elite soldiers are dispatched. He is completely determined to fight to the death. It seems that he will not survive if he does not capture Yunzhou immediately."

Wei Wuxian touched his chin and sighed.

In the past two days, Beihu's army attacked the city regardless of casualties. Blood flowed in front of the city, and corpses piled up like mountains in many places. Even practitioners in the Forging Realm could step on the piles of corpses and jump directly onto the city wall.

Under this situation, the soldiers guarding the city had all been replaced by elite soldiers. Chen Yi, Yun Yong, Fang Moyuan, He Ping, Geng Anguo and others took turns to go into battle.

Even so, the Yunzhou Army suffered heavy casualties. All the troops gritted their teeth and tried their best to fight the Beihu soldiers. Willpower became an important aspect of the game at this time.

This is still the case in Yunzhou where there are many elites.

Without Zhao Ning's years of preparation, Yunzhou would not have Chen Yi, Yun Yong, Fang Moyuan and others, as well as a large number of elite practitioners under their command, as well as elite soldiers who were recruited early and trained for a long time under the guidance of the Zhao clan,

With only the existing Da Qi army and such a lifeless offensive like Borshu, Yunzhou would have already fallen.

When Wei Wuxian spoke, Zhao Ning was still looking at the chessboard and thinking.

He lost this game of chess.

In terms of chess skills, he almost never defeated Wei Wuxian. The opponent had been fond of this game since he was a child, and he studied it frequently. His hands were far-reaching, and there was no trick he didn't mention, and there were often subtle foreshadowings.

This is actually related to the other party's temperament. Although Wei Wuxian was born in a general, he is thoughtful and thoughtful, and likes to think about things behind his back.

When they were young, they fought with other dandies in the Yanping market, and the other boys always played the role of dog-headed strategists who made suggestions and used endless destructive tricks.

In the battles in the Western Regions in the past few years, Wei Wuxian was also known for his cunning strategies. At first, the Longyou Army's combat power was not outstanding. The reason why they were able to win consecutive battles was because of his planning.

Sometimes when he loses a game of chess, Zhao Ning will secretly think about it. If the opponent is in a different camp from his own, and each leads his troops to compete head-on on a new battlefield, he will lose the huge advantage of rebirth and "predict the enemy first".

With his extraordinary convenience, without the layout started many years ago, it would be difficult for him to defeat the opponent.

From this aspect, Zhao Ning feels that there is still a big gap between himself and the existence of the Great Wisdom and Near Demon, and he is not a god with inhuman wisdom.

Realizing this, Zhao Ning felt happy instead.

This is related to his next major plan.

In this plan, Wei Wuxian needs to use his intelligence and talent to truly stand alone.

Hearing Wei Wuxian's voice, Zhao Ning gathered his thoughts and glanced around the battlefield outside the window. He saw another black sea of ​​human heads, rushing forward from the Beihu army formation in the distance:

"Boshu is so anxious simply because the situation in Yangliu City is imminent. He wants to capture Yunzhou City first, defeat us, and then assign manpower to take care of it."

Wei Wuxian nodded: "It seems that Borshu will show up in person and bring all the Wangji realm players in the camp to challenge us.

"As long as he can defeat us and create a numerical advantage among Wangji practitioners, he can at least send a few Wangji practitioners back to Yangliu City, and then Yangliu City will be able to hold on."

Zhao Ning took a sip of tea and did not answer the call.

There is only one reason why Borshu has not led Wangjijing to fight in the past two days, and that is that he is not sure of defeating him. Therefore, Borshu chose to let the army desperately attack the city, hoping to win this war with the army

of victory.

When Zhao Ning put down the tea bowl, Wei Wuxian suddenly said: "Boshu is here."

Zhao Ning turned around to look and saw that Bo Shu was indeed leading a group of Wangji practitioners, approaching the tower like wild geese.

If you don't have any confidence, you still have to fight. This means you have no choice. You are so anxious that you have to give it a try.

Zhao Ning stood up: "Then let's go and greet him."

...

One day later, Weizhou.

Borshu asked to see Yuan MuZhen.

He knelt in the yard and waited for a long time, but no sound came from the room.

He knew that he had made Yuan Mu really unhappy. He failed to capture Yunzhou and came back for help. This was indeed a sign of incompetence. Yuan Mu really deserved to be angry.

But Borshu had no choice but to come.

The bloody battles in the past few days have shown that it is impossible to capture Yunzhou within ten days as he had expected, and now Yangliu City is in danger, and it is no longer possible to stabilize the situation with the strength of his subordinates alone.

Only by asking Yuan Muzhen to leave seclusion temporarily and use his supreme cultivation in the heaven-human realm to go to Yunzhou to kill Zhao Ning, or go to Bianliang to kill Zhao Qiyue and Sun Kang, can the war proceed normally.

When Borshu came back this time, he undoubtedly admitted that he had nothing to do with Zhao Ning. He and his soldiers had disgraced the Tianyuan Royal Court, insulted the majesty of the Tianyuan Khan, and were not worthy of being called warriors.

For Borshu, this was an unprecedented shame and humiliation in his life.

But the situation is stronger than the people. For the sake of the overall war, Borshu can only ask for help.

He was ready to be punished again.

It doesn't matter that he is punished, and even losing his position as King Zuoxian is deserved, but the Tianyuan Royal Court's grand plan cannot suffer huge setbacks.

Borshu felt that at this time, even if Yuanmu Zhen was angry with him, he would not hesitate and would definitely leave the customs immediately and go to Yunzhou first.

Killing Zhao Ning, who is in the middle stage of Wangji Realm, is effortless for Yuan Muzhen.

This is the great cause of the royal court. Compared with this, suspending the retreat is nothing.

However, Borshu was disappointed.

Half an hour passed, and Yuan Mu didn't show up.

An hour passed, but there was still no sound in the room.

He became more and more anxious and was sweating profusely.

At present, the military situation is raging, and he doesn't understand why Yuan Muzhen refuses to leave seclusion.

This makes no sense at all.

Finally, when Borshu was so anxious that he was about to commit suicide on the spot and die to apologize, Yuan Muzhen's voice sounded in the room, as majestic as before, but more cold and stern, and with hidden anger.

"Who is the captain who has led his troops to attack Yunzhou in the past few days?"

Borshu didn't understand why the other party asked this, but he answered honestly.

Then, he heard an order that made his hair stand on end.

"The battle is unfavorable and will delay the battle. All troops will be beheaded!"

Bor's technique is like falling into an ice cave, causing chills all over the body.

After so many years, the Tianyuan Royal Court has never killed a general of the level of Captain Ten Thousands because of the unfavorable outcome of the war.

Every practitioner in the late stage of Yuanshen Realm is the backbone of the army. Losing one will greatly weaken the combat power of the army!

In the past, captains of ten thousand who were disadvantaged in battle would use other punishment methods, which would not hinder the opponent's cultivation and combat power, and ruin the opponent's opportunity to make meritorious deeds.

And now, Yuan Muzhen is going to kill four ten thousand captains in the late Yuanshen realm at once!

"Great Khan... Yunzhou failed to be captured. It's all my fault. Please punish one of my ministers, spare the lives of these ten thousand men, and give them a chance to make meritorious deeds..." Bo

You are good at grabbing the ground with your head.

"My order is an imperial edict, Borshu, do you dare to question it?"

Borshu was speechless.

"A warrior who cannot win a battle is not worthy of being called a warrior, but can only be a slave. Go back, we will not be able to capture the Central Plains, and you will not be able to save your head!"

Bo Shu's face is earth-colored.

He never expected that Yuan Mu Zhen would not come out of seclusion!

Just killing Zhao Ning, such a simple and meaningful thing, why is the Great Khan unwilling to do it?

Borshu suddenly thought of a possibility.

He was startled, and his back was instantly soaked with cold sweat.

Could it be that... the Great Khan's retreat is not to improve his realm, but to recuperate his injuries as Zhao Ning said? The Great Khan's refusal to leave the retreat is not because he is unwilling to leave the retreat, but because he is unable to leave the retreat?!

As soon as this idea came up, Borshu felt that the sky and the earth were eclipsed and the world was dark.

He didn't dare to think too much, so he quickly gave up the idea, got up and left Weizhou quickly.

...

Zhao Ning, Wei Wuxian, Song Ming and others stood on the eaves of the city tower, looking at the Beihu army camp and observing the movements of the enemy's troops coming out from the flanks.

"At this time, Borshu actually divided his troops and left Yunzhou. What did he want?" Song Ming didn't know why.

Zhao Ning was well aware of Borshu's plan: "Since we are dividing our troops and leaving Yunzhou, we will naturally attack other places. Based on the current situation, the most likely option is to march to the southwest, attack Huazhou and Caozhou, and support Yangliu City."

The city of Yunzhou is well-defended, the defenders are sufficient, and there are elites to support the overall situation. Borshu cannot attack Yunzhou for a while, but it is very easy for the opponent to keep Yunzhou in check.

The Qi army in Yunzhou City was able to defend the city, but was unable to fight outside the city, so Borshu could unscrupulously divide his troops and go south, or even attack the city while going south.
