"Teacher, Thief Xu did not attack the city immediately. Moreover, Thief Xu ignored the previous frame-up and did not take any action."
"I thought about it for a moment. Is he going to make a desperate move? Putting all the winnings on attacking Dawan."
"teacher?"
Upa looked sideways, and his eyes suddenly became sharp. In front of him, under the sun, his teacher quickly moved his body and kept running away into the distance.
"What, what?"
Upa turned around and saw two limping figures.
There were guards trying to stop him, but one of the lame men raised his sword and cut his throat with a very deceptive sword move.
"Let's go!" Upa opened his eyes wide and spoke decisively. How can a person who can scare even his own teacher be an ordinary person?
The dozen or so guards who came out followed Upa and became panic-stricken.
"Damn it, who is this!"
Before Upa could figure it out, not far behind him, there was another guard, his body cut off at the waist, and he rolled into the stone wall with a sound of pain.
clang.
Waving his hands in mid-air, Upa shot out several poison gas flying knives, but another rickety figure suddenly raised an iron shield and blocked them all.
After scolding her mother and no longer caring about observing the battle, Upa stood on tiptoe and disappeared into the sunlight while the guard was behind him.
"call."
After killing more than ten guards, the lame figure panted and sat on the stone wall. The figure next to him hurriedly took out a water bag and handed it over.
"I haven't done anything for a long time. Back then, I refused to accept anyone in the inner city. Even if that freak from King Beiyu comes, I can still fight for three hundred rounds."
"But I am old and lame after all."
The tone was full of depression and loss. But soon, the tone became joyful again.
"There is no need to pursue us today. Yang Wuchou, look below. Did you see it? The man leading the army said that I am a great man."
The stone wall here can be regarded as a good viewing position.
"Elder, I have seen it all. People in the world say that Xu Mu, the king of Western Shu, grew up in poverty. He is probably the first mud-legged emperor."
"What do you mean by that? You are talking about the Mud-Legged Emperor! I knew how difficult it was for him at the beginning, and just like that, step by step, he reached the top of the world."
"Although I often scold him, in fact, the greatest luck in my life is to have this son."
"Then Dawan City...can it be defended?"
"If he keeps an egg, if you give him another 200,000 troops, I can beat him to pieces." The old man smiled, but soon he started coughing again in the sandy wind.
"When tomorrow, when the breath is over, you and I, two bad old men, will chase after you again."
"Elder, the horses have all run to death. Do you want to ask your eldest son to send two horses?"
The old man shook his head firmly, "No need. He has his own way, and we shouldn't distract him at this time. You and I have also found out that the thing that killed that day, with the Black Eagle Gate, has been obstructing my son. If it can be done
Killing him, I can’t help but help him a lot.”
The sandy wind became stronger and stronger, filling the sky with yellow mud.
The old man coughed a few more times, hoarsely and unwillingly, "I think of me, the handsome young gentleman, when I wore white clothes and carried a sword, and wanted to kill all the injustices in the world. How majestic I was... cough cough."
…
At the Xishu camp, Xu Mu raised his head and looked at the surrounding terrain.
Near the oasis, there is no longer just yellow sand landform, but also many sand valleys and stone walls, which look a bit majestic.
"Lord, would you like to send someone to investigate."
"No, troops can't be hidden in those places."
"Lord, I've been waiting for two days and it's almost time."
Xu Mu nodded. In the past two days, there were no reinforcements from Dawan City. Instead, two more countries were brought in to send supplies to the coalition forces as a sign of friendship.
No matter how you look at it, on the surface, the coalition forces are guaranteed to win.
"Besiege the city." Xu Mu ordered in a solemn voice.
"My lord has an order, the army will besiege the city!"
"The Lord has an order, and the army is to besiege the city——"
Not long after, the men and horses from each battalion of the coalition army began to follow the direction of the gate of Dawan City and roared towards it according to the military plan.
On the walls of Dawan City, archers were constantly popping up through the exposed bow windows, cautiously setting up their bows and arrows, ready to fight.
Compared with the cities in the Central Plains, people from the Western Regions prefer to build cities on high places to kill enemies from a high position.
When the army was dispatched, the sky was filled with rolled up yellow sand.
Lou Luo wiped his face. There was both madness and fear on his face. Since the appearance of the coalition forces, there have been deserters in Dawan City from time to time.
If, if we can hold on to this round, no doubt, we can boost morale, securely hold the city gate, and wait for the help of the Son of God...
"Quickly, let the archers get in position and watch the hanging door!"
"Your Majesty, the enemy did not attack the city..."
"What!"
Lou Luo was startled for a moment, and when he looked up, he realized that the allied forces rushing over did not attack the city, but stopped outside the shooting range, and began to set up camp again, blocking the direction of the three city gates.
"What does Thief Xu want to do? This lunatic wants to besiege Dawan!"
"Your Majesty, please don't fall into the trap. It may be a Shu people's strategy to lure the enemy."
"Of course I know."
I just feel very unhappy. This is equivalent to putting a slap in your face. If you get closer, it will be a big pussy.
"Well..." After not daring to drink for two days, Lou Luo's mind finally became much clearer.
"Send additional manpower to patrol the city. If any unusual movement is found in the coalition camp, report it immediately."
In the past, he would have dared to lead an army out of the city to charge. But now, for some reason, he felt worried when he thought of the raid that night.
That thief Xu is simply very cunning.
"It's getting dark. Your Majesty, you have been working hard for days. Why don't you take a rest first. If there is any military information, I will report it immediately."
There were many temporary sheep blankets laid out on top of the city. Lou Luo was silent for a while, but did not refuse after all. He wanted to save his strength and defend Dawan City well.
Unfortunately, just as he lay down, he heard the sound of drums outside the city, accompanied by the roar of the coalition forces.
Lou Luo jumped up in shock, grabbed the mace and ran out quickly.
When they reached the top of the city, they realized that it was simply a trick of the Shu people to exhaust their troops. After repeated rounds, not only Louluo, but even the defenders of Dawan City could hardly rest.
The biggest disadvantage of the siege is that the defenders are completely passive. But now, Lou Luo does not dare to leave the city for a decisive battle.
"Damn it." Lou Luo's eyes were filled with bloodshot eyes, and his face was extremely angry.
"If I had known better, I would have led the troops out of the city...to stop the Shu people from sieging the city."
Lou Luo raised his head and felt that the sunlight above his head became extremely dazzling, making him feel dizzy for a moment.
