Within Xiucheng, Shen Ao had returned to his courtyard in the city, where he wrote secret letters and released homing pigeons.
Shen Ao explained that the barbarians sent 20,000 troops to surround Xiucheng, and then stated his vow to coexist and perish with the city. Finally, he said that this time he would definitely teach the barbarians a profound lesson so that they could learn from it in the future. I don’t dare to despise Daqian anymore, and I don’t dare to send troops to provoke him again.
After writing the secret note, when the carrier pigeons were released, Shen Ao looked at the sky full of stars, with mixed feelings in his heart.
In fact, it is not difficult to deal with the threat of barbarians. If it is placed on Shen Ao, he can easily make him surrender by using only one move, which is to strengthen the wall and clear the field.
Create a no-man's land and a food-free area at the junction with the barbarians. Then build some solid fortresses and cities to block the barbarians, so that the barbarians lose contact with Daqian, leaving them with no food to plunder and no one to plunder. .As a result, the barbarians who only know how to fight and kill will soon fall into a situation where they have nothing to eat, and they will destroy themselves without attacking.
Without enough food, it would be impossible to feed such a large population. The barbarians would either perish themselves or surrender to Da Qian and exchange things for food. At that time, everything would depend on the Han people.
You can also wait until they are weak, then suddenly send out a large army to overwhelm them, and then inflict heavy losses on the barbarians.
If it doesn't work, you can support one line of the barbarian kings, let them be in chaos, and at the same time find a line that is willing to make friends with the generals. In this way, you can achieve the purpose of dividing the enemy, and the danger of the barbarians can be resolved.
It is a pity that Shen Ao is not Emperor Qianwen. When it comes to major national affairs, his right to speak is still very light. I am afraid that even if he raised it, Emperor Qianwen, who values the territory more than anything else, would not Agree to the strategy of strengthening the wall.
Even so, we can only take the last resort and face it head on.
With the advantages of weapons, the strategy of elite soldiers, the skill of soldiers, and the wisdom of generals, Shen Ao is not afraid of the barbarians. It’s just that when he thinks that many of the swords and guns in the hands of the barbarians and the food they eat are provided by Daqian, now they have to fight with When fighting against people who hold their own things, there is always some dissatisfaction in my heart.
"Spit it out after you eat it, hand it over after you take it, Barbarian King. Next, I will let you know what is psychological warfare? What is fire attack? What is dilemma? What is strength but not enough?" Shen Ao said silently in his heart. At this moment, his body was full of strong fighting spirit. For a moment, his whole body fell into an extremely wonderful state. It seemed that there was a kind of power in his body that was about to burst out from his body. It comes out without vomiting or discomfort.
"Master, what's going on?" Shi Lei, the captain who was in charge of protection nearby, couldn't help but look shocked when he saw Shen Ao suddenly standing there motionless, with a hint of pain on his face. I wanted to ask Qianqian.
"Whoosh!"
A figure in white fell in front of him, blocking Shi Lei's path and blocking his progress.
The person coming was none other than Xue Fei. Looking at the person standing in front of him, Shi Lei looked puzzled and even asked defensively, "Miss Xue Fei, what do you mean?"
"Stand where you are, don't move even half a step forward, or you will die!" Xue Fei's voice was extremely cold. When it was heard in Shi Lei's ears, it was like thunder in the sky, making his face suddenly look very ugly.
Xue Fei's duty is to protect Shen Ao's safety, which is recognized even by the Duke. Normally, Shi Lei shouldn't refute what she said, but seeing the young master's pained expression, he just wanted to step forward and ask what happened. Shi Lei, who wanted to help, couldn't help but care so much, so he couldn't help but touch his waist with his right hand.
An arm fell on Shi Lei's shoulder at some point, "Okay, Captain Shi, Miss Snow is doing it for the young master's benefit. She cares more about the young master's safety than you do. But can't you see that the young master is making a breakthrough?"
Ao Qi didn't know when he came to Shi Lei, patted his shoulder, and pulled him aside. He knew Xuefei's character very well. Now that the words were out, if Shi Lei really dared to make a move, she would really do it. If this is the case, Shi Lei will probably be stained with blood next time. Presumably the young master will not want to see this scene after he wakes up.
When it comes to who has been with Shen Ao longer, Shi Lei is naturally better, but when it comes to his understanding of martial arts, he is far behind. He has just entered An Jin, how could it be Ao Qi? Has he already become the opponent of Huajinren?
His eyesight is even worse.
Hearing what Ao Qi said, Shi Lei was shocked and at the same time relieved. "Well... will the young master be okay?"
"Don't worry, this time everything will fall into place and nothing will happen." Ao Qi said with a smile. Then when he looked at Shen Ao, his eyes also showed envy. He thought that they had entered the stage of transformation. , which one has not worked hard for a long time, or even put in a lot of hard work. But it seems that Shen Ao, apart from practicing martial arts for an hour every day under the supervision of Xue Fei, has never practiced any kung fu. But it just happened like this. I have entered the stage of energy transformation.
I still remember listening to the people below saying that a year ago, Shen Ao was just an ordinary person and had no understanding of martial arts at all. But how much time has passed now, I have to say that the young master is the young master, and his talent is not Ordinary people like them can compare.
With Xuefei's protection, no one would bother Shen Ao. Half an hour passed in the blink of an eye.
Half an hour later, Shen Ao was still standing there. The only thing that had changed was that his expression was no longer so painful. Shi Lei felt flustered again, "Brother Qi, the young master is really going to be okay."
"No, absolutely not." What Ao Qi wanted to say at this time was that Shen Ao was afraid that not only would nothing happen to him, but he would also gain a lot. I thought that when he stepped into the transformation stage, it was only half a stick of incense. .As far as he knew, when Xue Fei entered the realm of transformation, it only took more than a stick of incense to comprehend. How could it be like Shen Ao, half an hour, and it wasn't over yet? I really don't know what he gained. How big will it be?
What others don't know is that the meridians in Shen Ao's body are as wide as two people's, and they are naturally very comparable to others. In addition, he practices the most powerful innate skills in the world, and he is a boy. Aoxue taught his skills before. , all put together, it is nothing new to have such a long-term understanding.
Time passed little by little, and finally after more than an hour, the expression on Shen Ao's face softened and became lively again.
Shen Ao slowly opened his eyes, and there seemed to be a flash of light in his eyes. When he looked at Ao Qi, he smiled and said, "Brother Qi, pass two moves."
"Okay." Ao Qi also wanted to see how strong Shen Ao was now, so he happily agreed.
Still in this small courtyard, Shen Ao attacked Ao Qi with more than ten moves in a row. At the peak, even Ao Qi had to take two steps back to avoid his sharp attack.
With Ao Qi's strength, if he wanted to defeat Shen Ao, he would not be given so many opportunities, but as he only focused on defense, he could just let Shen Ao show his strength. Even if it was defense, even so, Being able to force Ao Qi to retreat is enough to prove Shen Ao's strength.
What’s more, Shen Ao’s current personal combat power is countless times stronger than before. When he first entered Huajin, he had the peak strength of the early stage of Huajin. This is the benefit of having wide meridians.
After more than ten moves, Shen Ao took the initiative to stop. Naturally, he could see that he was still far behind Ao Qi, but compared to before, he was able to neutralize his own attack with an understatement, which was already much stronger.
On the battlefield, personal combat power has been increased, which is definitely a good thing, proving that there are more opportunities to save lives. Shen Ao stopped and smiled happily. He had already begun to imagine that one day he could become a grandmaster. , how powerful that would be.
Only a few people in a small circle knew about Shen Ao's breakthrough in martial arts. More people didn't know what Shen Ao's strength was? After all, except for that night when Shen Ao made a move, he was never in front of everyone. No matter how much kung fu he showed, especially those of the rangers, they just regarded him as a wise man.
This is exactly what Shen Ao needs. If a person is not understood by others, this will only increase his own sense of mystery and make him stronger.
That night, after Shen Ao made a breakthrough, he felt relaxed all over and had a good sleep. But for most people, they fell asleep with a nervous mood. After all, there will be a war tomorrow, and maybe some people It's the last time in this life that I can sleep and wake up.
Day and night alternate, and a new round of sunshine shines on the earth.
In the morning, the barbarian army had breakfast very early, and then the whole army lined up, and the army rushed towards Xiucheng.
Twenty thousand barbarian troops, after the Barbarian King gave the order, the whole army was dispatched. From a distance, it looked like the sky was overwhelming and the sun was covered. When the soldiers and civilians guarding Xiucheng saw it, many people's faces changed. After all, there were Sometimes, hearing someone talk about the number 20,000 and actually seeing it are two different things.
The barbarians came fiercely, but most of them stopped outside the trenches. Even the vanguard general Ran Chaoming only marched two miles forward with his 3,000-foot cavalry before stopping.
The trenches that appeared everywhere hindered the cavalry's charge, preventing them from giving full play to their original advantages. This made Ran Chaoming depressed, and at the same time, it also prevented him from daring to enter alone at will.
When the three thousand cavalry arrived at a place three miles outside Xiucheng, shouts came out in unison. A hundred loud barbarians were organized together, and they all shouted to the inside of Xiucheng, asking the people inside to come out and surrender. He also said that he would ensure the personal safety of these people.
He was persuaded to surrender without even a fight, which is enough to prove how confident the barbarians are. But when all this fell into Shen Ao's eyes, there was a trace of disdain on the corner of his mouth, and he was playing psychological warfare with himself? Then Just let your opponents know who is the ancestor in this area.
