Cultivation in the Family: Everyone is a villain

"How many garrison troops are there in Wanyang County?"

"More than ten thousand."

"How many men do you have?"

"One hundred and seventy thousand."

"With an army of 170,000 and only 10,000 defenders, Wanyang County demolished the western city wall in two days. Peng Yuhu, are you going to do this to me?"

Outside Wanyang City, in front of the Yongzhou army formation, Hou Yuxiao listened to Zhan Taiqing sternly reprimanding Peng Yuhu, while looking at the west city wall that had been occupied by the army. He was followed only by Hou Yuduan and Hou Yujie, who were also staring at the west city wall, not knowing what was going on in their hearts.

What to think about.

When Hou Yuxiao met Peng Yuhu for the first time in Tongling Sacred Heart Residence, he was handsome and elegant, and his demeanor as a heaven-level grandmaster was particularly impressive. However, under Zhan Taiqing's rebuke, he remained silent and his body almost bowed to ninety degrees.

This refreshed Hou Yuxiao's understanding and gave him a new understanding of Zhan Taiqing's prestige.

Although he guessed that Wanyang County would not be so easy to fight, the fact that the 170,000-strong army had only taken down one city wall after fighting so far was indeed beyond his expectation. Therefore, Hou Yuxiao also set his sights on Peng Yuhu and wanted to hear about it.

what's going on.

"My master has learned clearly that it is not that his subordinates are not attacking well, but that they are actually having difficulties.

Gu Tianyun, the leader of Xizhao Sword, is still in the city. Once I divide my troops to attack the city, he will defeat them one by one, so I blocked the west gate.

This city wall can only be attacked by 50,000 people at the same time. Any more will only cause congestion and affect the progress of the siege, so I did not let the whole army attack at the same time.

However, the defenders in the city are indeed very tenacious, and coupled with the weird brass sword array, we sacrificed many brothers to finally capture such a city wall."

After Peng Yuhu finished speaking, the three generals wearing black clothes next to him also spoke with a somewhat aggrieved tone.

"Master clearly knows that my subordinates and brothers have fought bloody battles. Although they suffered over 10,000 casualties, they also killed more than 7,000 enemies. If it were not for Gu Tianyun, the city would have been broken by now."

"Once the brass sword array is deployed, there will be tens of thousands of flying swords. Each one has the power of ten levels and has its own tracking function. Our soldiers can be accurately hit even if they are in a group with the enemy.

We can only fill it with human lives, there is really no other way.”

"My subordinates can testify that the brothers in the army are not greedy for life and fear of death. When the master comes, we will attack Wanyang County even if we use our lives to fill it. Please ask the master to give the order, and we will attack the city immediately!"

The three black-armored generals are all tall and tall. The leader is holding a long spear and has a cyan birthmark on his left face, which makes him the most recognizable;

The face of the second person who spoke looked a bit fat, and his weapons were a pair of heavy-looking gilded eight-sided hammers;

The last man was also holding a spear in his hand. He had bright eyes, the most urgent tone, and the strongest fighting spirit.

The military system implemented in various states today is basically still the same as that of the previous dynasty, with a team of 100 people, a standard of 1,000 people, a battalion of 10,000 people, and a regiment of 50,000 people. The captains and commanders are still low-level officers, and only the battalion commanders are

Only the commanders established at the level and the commanders established at the regiment level are senior officers, and only at this level do they have cultivation requirements.

Generally speaking, the commanders have at least a cultivation level of the Gang Qi realm. The more powerful ones such as Gui Yutang have a cultivation level of the third realm of Gang Qi and the Bao Dan phase. The requirements for the commanders are even higher, at least a master realm cultivation level.

This time I came to participate in the war. On the way, Hou Yuxiao inquired about the situation clearly. He knew that the three people in front of him were the three commanders of the Xingnan Prefecture Army. The one with the green birthmark on his face was the commander Dong Yuxuan, who was a second-level master.

; The fat general of the giant hammer is Hong Bo, the leader of the second capital, who has the peak cultivation level of the first-level grandmaster; the one with the strongest fighting spirit is Peng Yucheng, the leader of the third capital, who has the cultivation level of the second-level grandmaster.

Hou Yuxiao's eyes specifically stayed for a while on Peng Yucheng, the third commander of the capital. Not only was he the third commander of the Xingnan Prefecture Army, he was also the younger brother of Prefect Peng Yuhu. He was obviously Peng Yuhu's direct descendant.

There are a total of 200,000 Xingnan Prefecture troops. Most of them are usually divided into six counties. For example, Tongling County previously had 30,000 Prefecture troops, and other counties and cities also had 20,000 to 30,000 troops. There are only three major prefectures in the Prefecture.

The commanders each led ten thousand troops to guard the area.

At present, Peng Yuhu's army numbered 170,000, and he had obviously mobilized all the government troops guarding the six counties. All three major forces had arrived, which was equivalent to the entire force of the Holy Sect in Xingnan Prefecture.

Peng Yuhu personally led the army, with three major commanders, seventeen commanders, and an army of 170,000. He really planned to fight!

Hou Yuxiao sighed slightly, and then looked at the sinister-looking middle-aged man in black robe next to Peng Yuhu, as well as the eight people following him. He noticed that none of these people's auras were inferior to his own. Hou Yuxiao suddenly

His expression was stern.

The middle-aged Yin Prey should be Han Feng, the Ghost Hand Swordsman, who is hailed by the outside world as Zhan Taiqing's right-hand man and heaven-level grand master. The other eight are the Eight Great Vajras of Fucheng Warden Secretary Jialan, who can be regarded as Zhan Taiqing's direct subordinates.

From here we can see how terrifying the foundation of the Rakshasa Holy Cult is. Zhan Taiqing alone is a warden. In addition to herself, the top master of the Qianyang realm, there is also Han Feng, a heaven-level grandmaster. Eight

An ordinary master.

On the surface, the government army is under the control of Fu Yin, so Dong Yuxuan, Hong Bo, and Peng Yucheng are all considered as his subordinates as usual. In addition, Hou Yuxiao also noticed that there are seven master realm auras in the army, which is the Futai Yamen side.

, including Peng Yuhu, there are a total of eleven master-level masters.

Not counting heaven-level grandmasters and above, there are already eighteen grandmasters in front of us, nearly thirty masters at the Dan Bao stage, at least two hundred masters at the Gang Qi stage, and countless other tenth-level warriors.

And this is only part of the force used in this expedition. If we go higher, there are eight such prefectures in Yongzhou. There is Daocheng above the prefecture, and there is the Yongdu General Altar above the Daocheng. How many masters are there...

………

What you see before you is just the tip of the iceberg of the Rakshasa Holy Cult!

Thinking of this, Hou Yuxiao still felt a little chill in his heart.

"The city-protecting sword formation is indeed powerful. If you don't have the Gang Qi realm, it will be difficult to resist. Attacking rashly will only cause greater casualties. It is not advisable to act too hastily!"

While Hou Yuxiao was deep in thought, Han Feng spoke.

His voice was high-pitched and highly recognizable. As soon as he spoke, he attracted everyone's attention, including Master Fanyin, whose face had always been gloomy. He turned back to look at him, pondered for a moment and then spoke:

"All the city defense formations in the world were born from the divine dynasty. I have also heard a little about this brass sword formation. It should be the simplified demon-slaying sword formation of the Ten Thousand Swords Saint Sect. It has four levels: gilt, silver, brass, and black iron.

, when used, it can produce up to 30,000 Bing Fei Swords, and each Bing has the peak power of the tenth level of Kaishen, even the heaven-level grand masters dare not trespass."

At this point, Zhan Taiqing paused, and continued with a sneer: "It's just that this sword formation is not enough to see in front of me. I can show the Brahma Gate vocal range and fix the sword formation in one place. You just need to attack the city and defend it."

If the army is destroyed, this magic circle will be useless!"

Han Feng shook his head and said: "This method is not safe. Gu Tianyun is still in the city and will not sit back and watch the master block the sword formation. Once he steps in to delay, the army will still have to face the sword formation and will be unable to advance."

Hou Yuxiao nodded secretly at the side. What Zhan Taiqing thought was indeed too simple. The strength of Xizhao Sword Leader Gu Tianyun was obvious to all in Tongling. Once Zhan Taiqing was disturbed by him, the pressure of the sword array would still have to be borne by the siege soldiers.

Ordinarily, there is still hope to attack the city by force. After all, Yongzhou's army has 170,000 troops, plus the 10,000 brought by Hou Yuxiao, that's 180,000. As long as Zhan Taiqing is here, it shouldn't be possible to attack Wanyang County with a sword formation.

What a big problem.

But the key point is that these 180,000 troops are not just targeting the Wanyang County in front of them. There are two counties, Longxiang and Yangping, to the east of Wanyang County. On the other side of the Tongtian River between the two counties, there is Guangling.

If the six counties of the government were filled with human lives, depending on the power of the sword formation, the casualties might exceed 50,000, so how would we fight next?

Huangfuxing's order to Zhan Taiqing was to capture Wanyang County within a month. So the current problem is not to urgently capture Wanyang County, but how to defeat Wanyang County at the minimum cost!

One month from the first day of August to the first day of September sounds very generous, but the actual situation is absolutely not the case. The underlying reason why Peng Yuhu was able to attack Wanyang County so smoothly was that the war launched by Yongzhou was very sudden.

Xuzhou was in a hurry and had no time to respond.

Thinking about it further, in such a hasty situation, it is quite good that Gu Tianyun was able to organize the remaining forces of the two defeated counties as well as Wanyang County's own troops to stay in the county so quickly.

At the moment, they are only facing a Wanyang County city. If they hesitate and cannot attack for a long time, let alone the reinforcements from Longxiang and Yangping counties. According to the establishment of one county of about 20,000 to 30,000 people, this batch of troops will

There are at least more than 50,000 people. If we wait until they arrive and then attack these people from Wanyang County from both inside and outside, the situation of our own army will become dangerous.

"We have to capture Wanyang County quickly, and we have to avoid casualties as much as possible to prepare for the next war. We have to take care of both ends. This is not easy to handle!"

Hou Yuxiao shook his head secretly. He actually had some ideas in mind, but in the final analysis, he still did not take this war between the two states as his own business. He only regarded it as sending troops with the Rakshasa Holy Cult to see if he could take advantage of it.

, so he didn’t make any suggestions, he just calmly waited for everyone to discuss the results.

By coincidence, Hou Yuxiao's attitude of not caring about her own affairs was immediately noticed by Zhan Taiqing. She was already upset and angry at the moment, but when she saw Hou Yuxiao's appearance, her beautiful eyes immediately narrowed slightly.

Stare at him.

"We have heard that the Hou family is very resourceful, why are you silent now? Could it be that the Hou family has second thoughts now?"

As early as when Zhan Taiqing looked at her, Hou Yuxiao noticed it. When he heard her words, he immediately bowed and said hurriedly: "Master Mingjian, Hou Mou has followed the master to Wanyang County now, how can there be more

Two hearts, if the master gives orders, whether it is to attack the city or to go up the mountain of swords and into the sea of ​​fire, Hou will not delay!"

After Hou Yuxiao finished speaking, he immediately regretted it when he saw the smile on the corner of Zhan Taiqing's mouth.

"Since there is no good way, we can only attack the city by force later. The Hou family's army should arrive soon. At that time, the head of the Hou family will lead the army as the vanguard, and our Yongzhou army will follow closely.

Defeat Wanyang County in one fell swoop!"

After saying this, Fan Longhe, who was standing next to him, immediately smiled, while Peng Yuhu and the three chiefs also had a look of relief on their faces.

Needless to say, Fan Longhe wanted Hou Yuxiao to die. As for the thoughts of Peng Yuhu and the others, it is easy to understand. As the Hou family is the vanguard, they will definitely be the first to face the brass sword formation and the defending army. In this way

, the armies under their respective command can avoid casualties, and they will naturally feel relaxed.

They relaxed, and Hou Yuxiao's face immediately darkened. Although he was secretly scolding Zhan Taiqing for being shameless, he was still thinking of countermeasures in his mind.

Of course Hou Yuxiao could not agree to such a request, which was clearly asking his Hou family's army to die. He believed that Zhan Taiqing also knew that this stinky woman said this deliberately just to force him to give countermeasures.

But he didn't want to help so easily, so he could only stay silent.

Zhan Taiqing looked at Hou Yuxiao, his eyes slightly focused, and he didn't say a word, just staring at him, as if he had a complete hold on him.

Hou Yuxiao's forehead was sweating a little as he was being stared at. He couldn't stand it any longer before he replied: "Master, more than 10,000 of our Hou family members have actually been on the battlefield. If we rashly act as a vanguard and fail to open up the situation, it will affect the following."

It’s going to be bad for the brothers!”

"It's okay. As long as your people are not afraid of death, I will remember their merits. As for the inability to affect the army behind, it is also caused by my improper command and has nothing to do with you."

This stinky bitch is not done playing anymore!

Hou Yuxiao's eyes revealed a shadow, and he couldn't help but want to curse. However, Zhan Taiqing's previous slap was still very impressive to him. Naturally, he did not dare to curse. With no other choice, he could only scream in his heart.

"Master Hou, I forgot to tell you that in this war, the territory of Xuzhou that I, Yongzhou, won will be treated according to military merit. That is to say, no matter who has made great contributions, they will be able to divide the territory as much as they want.

You, the Hou family, have made great contributions, not to mention Wanyang County, Longxiang, Yangping, and the other six counties of Guangling Prefecture, maybe you, the Hou family, can get them all, Master Hou, aren't you tempted?"

After Zhan Taiqing finished speaking, Hou Yuxiao and Hou Yuduan suddenly raised their heads almost at the same time, with a glint in their eyes, and asked in unison: "Master, are you serious about what you said?"

Seeing the appearance of the two of them, Zhan Taiqing gritted his teeth with hatred, his chest heaved slightly, and he almost couldn't hold back his anger, but after thinking about it, he nodded and replied: "I have said what I said, and it is hard to chase after it.

"

After receiving this promise, Hou Yuxiao's face suddenly showed joy, and he looked at Hou Yuduan next to him. The tacit understanding between the two brothers had obviously reached a terrifying level. They could read each other's eyes without even communicating.

"Fourth and fifth, you go and inform the second brother that he should not come to Wanyang County and go east along the official road first to find a suitable place to station. I will be there soon!"

The three brothers did not communicate at all. After Hou Yuxiao said a word, Hou Yujie and Hou Yuduan nodded immediately and turned to find the army led by the second brother Hou Yucheng.

When Zhan Taiqing and everyone else saw Hou Yuxiao's arrangement, their eyes suddenly showed confusion. Just when they were about to ask, Hou Yuxiao turned around and invited Zhan Taiqing.

"The important matters of the military aircraft are too confusing for many people to reveal. I also ask the master to move on. After Hou Mou has finished speaking, the master can decide whether to act according to my ideas, how about it?"

Hou Yuxiao's words were still a bit offending. As soon as he said them, the expressions of other people in the audience changed a little. However, only the expressions of the three major commanders were normal. Obviously, as soldiers, they agreed with Hou Yuxiao's behavior and did not have any thoughts in their hearts.

What opinion.

"Come with me!"

Zhan Taiqing didn't have any idea, he just waved to Hou Yuxiao gently and took him to a tent in front of the military formation.

As a result, the others could only stand outside with weird expressions, looking at the tent, guessing what the two were talking about inside...
