Chapter 171: The Eve of the Great War

In the 19,642nd year of the Great Chu Kingdom, after a long and careful preparation, the Wei State in the southeast of the mainland launched a war of annihilation against the Wu State.

The peace that had been maintained for more than 4,000 years in the entire Chu Territory was completely broken. Since Wei State's preparations were very secretive, Wu State had almost no defense in the early stage.

Coupled with the fact that Wu State had many internal forces, it took Wei State only three days to capture a state and more than a dozen cities in Wu State.

It took three days for Wu to react and began to mobilize troops towards the area invaded by Wei, but Wei's cavalry was too fast.

After another three days, another state was captured directly, approaching the royal city of King Zhenbei. So after a quick discussion, the royal family of the King of Wu ordered King Zhenbei to take almost all the troops that could be mobilized in the north and concentrate them in the city.

An important military city in the north, Wugui City.

It is bound to stop Wei's cavalry from going south.

The geographical location of Wugui City is very important. It stands on the only road going south. If Wugui City blocks Wei's offensive, then Wei will at least not be able to mobilize its troops to go south directly.

After receiving the imperial edict, King Zhenbei knew that this was a major matter concerning the life and death of Wu State, so he did not dare to neglect it and immediately rushed towards Wugui City with the assembled army.

The soldiers gathered later rushed to Wugui City in batches. When Zhenbei King Xiong Qianshi rushed to Wugui City, he happened to see that the gate of Wugui City had been opened by spies.

The soldiers in the city were unwilling to surrender and were fighting fiercely with the Wei soldiers. However, it was obvious that the Wei soldiers were well-trained, while the Wu soldiers lacked training and were often no match for the Wei soldiers.

When Xiong Qianshi saw that Wugui City was about to be breached, he immediately led his soldiers to rush over, cutting the Wei soldiers in half, and subsequent soldiers continued to come for reinforcements.

After fighting for another hour, and seeing that the city could no longer be captured, Wei had no choice but to withdraw its troops with gold.

On a hill far away from Wugui City, a handsome young man holding a folding fan saw Wu's reinforcements arriving to stop Wei's offensive, and he couldn't help but reveal a trace of regret in his eyes.

This man was wearing a slim-fitting black retro robe, and he was as gentle as jade. He looked like a suave scholar, but if Sun Yu saw him, he would immediately recognize that this was Wei Guo's Ghost Machine Sect.

The ghost boy.

Previously, Mr. Gui plotted against Hong Ling'er and made Sun Yu want to kill him several times, but he ran away every time, leaving Sun Yu helpless.

"Hey! It's a pity. The territory of Wu State is still quite large. Even if we march urgently, we can only gather so many troops here. It would be better if King Zhenbei came a little later." The ghost master shook his fan with regret.

said.

"Young Master Gui, there is no need to blame yourself. You have done a good job. There is nothing you can do about it. This Zhenbei King is the former owner of Red Sword Villa. He is a famous old turtle and cannot win against this martial turtle."

The city is also expected."

Standing behind him was a handsome young man in rich clothes who looked a bit majestic. He said comfortingly.

"Then thank you Prince Qu for your understanding. I also hope that the prince can say a few kind words in front of the emperor so that I can smoothly become a military advisor." At this time, Mr. Gui actually cupped his fists and bowed to the prince.

"Please get up quickly. It's easy to say. You were originally from the Gui family of Wei State. Now you control the world of Wu State and help us capture so many cities in Wu State. You have made great contributions. Apart from being a military advisor, I don't know anything about you." I can even give you some better rewards."

The Crown Prince of Wei quickly helped Mr. Gui up and said.

"Then thank you Prince for your grace. Gui Ruyu is very grateful!" Gui Gongzi then replied.

As they spoke, Mr. Gui and the Crown Prince of Wei looked at each other, each feeling more and more that the other was their soulmate, so after looking at each other for a while, they both laughed.

After King Zhenbei rushed to Wugui City, after more than an hour of fighting, he finally forced Wei to withdraw its troops.

So the King of Zhenbei immediately ordered not to pursue, and immediately began to clean up the city defenses and strengthen the city gates.

An order was passed down, and all the officers and men were not allowed to fight without the permission of King Zhenbei, and those who disobeyed the order would be killed.

Then many orders were issued to transport strategic materials, and it seemed that they planned to strictly guard against it.

At this time, Sun Yu used the invisibility technique to float in the air. Watching his father-in-law keep giving orders below, Sun Yu suddenly realized that his father-in-law also had a high military talent.

Seeing that so many troops were arranged in an orderly manner, Sun Yu was a little impressed.

The King of Zhenbei also issued an order to burn corpses. The scale of this battle was not small. A total of more than 5,000 people were killed on both sides. But for this big city with more than 300,000 people living there, it was not a small battle. That’s a lot.

Seeing those thousands of corpses being burned, Sun Yu didn't know what to say. Although he knew that this was to avoid the plague, he still couldn't accept it.

In the next few days, Wei State did not continue to launch attacks. Reinforcement soldiers from Wu State continued to arrive, and gradually the number of soldiers defending the city exceeded 300,000.

So King Zhenbei issued another order, that is, the soldiers who continued to come for reinforcements were gathered in King Zhenbei's royal city, and the two cities supported each other to avoid being overtaken by the same pot.

There is nothing wrong with such an order, and Sun Yu can't find anything wrong with it.

In the past few days, soldiers from Wei State have begun to arrive one after another. Looking at the densely packed camps outside the city, it seems that a big battle is about to start.

There are also many supervisors from Qingsong Valley, there are already more than twenty, but most of them are in the late stage of Qi training, and there are no monks in the foundation building stage to come to supervise.

On the opposite side, about thirty monks from the Kingdom of Wei also came to see if the monks from the Kingdom of Wu had helped ordinary people.

In fact, secretly, immortal cultivators will also interfere in the affairs of mortals, but as long as they are not caught, no one will go into details. But in a situation like this, if they interfere in the affairs of mortals.

You will definitely be severely punished, and it may even become an excuse for the Yin Gui Sect of Wei State to take action. Therefore, whether it is for the benefit of the sect or for your own benefit, at this time, it is better to abide by the rules as much as possible.

In the next few days, everyone lived in peace, reinforcements from both sides continued to arrive, and they continued to accumulate their own strength.

As for the monks, more than a hundred have come from the Yin Gui Sect, and monks from the other three major immortal sects of the Wu Kingdom, Spirit Beast Mountain, Giant Sword Sect and Spiritual Medicine Mountain have also arrived one after another. , almost more than a hundred.

Slowly, fewer and fewer soldiers from both sides arrived for reinforcements, and it seemed that the battle was about to begin.

Sure enough, the soldiers of Wei State took action the next day and surrounded the east, west and north sides of Wugui City, except the south side.

Then the soldiers of Wei State began to set up various siege equipment, and the first wave of tentative attacks was launched at night.

From the beginning, the Wei State kept using various siege equipment to shoot burning fireballs into the city. For a time, the city was filled with flames and cries continued.
