Devil’s Advent

On the eighth day, the Chu army's siege ended.

Qu Peiluo was sitting on a chair, and Fan Zhengwen was helping him bandage the wound on his shoulder.

During the fighting in the daytime, Qu Peiluo was hugged by a Chu soldier and was about to be thrown off the city wall. Fortunately, a family member surnamed Qu was able to protect Qu Peiluo with his own life. .

Not sad, not sad, here, no one would have the leisure to have any feelings of nostalgia for the dead Pao Ze, those Pao Ze who died in battle, they just took a step ahead and waited for themselves.

Today, it was very difficult to defend, and the feeling was the same as the first day.

It's like a circle, drawn out, and finally drawn back.

Fan Zhengwen did a good job of appeasing the hearts of the people in the city, and the reward army did a good job, he did everything he could;

There was nothing wrong with Qu Peiluo's command, he made up for the omissions he saw, like a paper painter, he responded quickly and did not slack off at all;

But the essence of war does not mean that you can win without making mistakes, it depends on what your opponent is like.

Under the rapid and fierce siege of the Dachu regular army for eight consecutive days, it is really not easy for Fancheng, a city guarded by mobs, to hold on until now.

Most of the cities in history that have been defended for several months, half a year or even longer are mostly because the besiegers wanted to exhaust the people in the city, and they did not attack continuously for days.

After the bandage was finished, Fan Zhengwen went down and personally brought a basin of hot water with two towels hanging in it.

Qu Peiluo closed his eyes,

Fan Zhengwen wiped his face with a towel himself.

When the towel was thrown into the basin again, the blood stains had dispersed.

Fan Zhengwen was not afraid of trouble, and brought a new towel to help Qu Peiluo dry the water stains on his face.

Only then did Qu Peiluo slowly open his eyes.

Then, wash your hands;

Finally, Fan Zhengwen came over with dishes, three dishes, one soup, and a jug of wine.

When Fan Zhengwen was about to pour the wine, Qu Peiluo reached out to pick up the jug and filled the wine bowl.

Then, he took the jug and placed it in front of Fan Zhengwen.

Fan Zhengwen was stunned for a moment, smiled, reached out to pick up the wine bowl, and the two of them touched.

The Patriarch of the Fan family lowered his wine bowl so low that it barely touched the bottom of the wine pot.

Qu Peiluo raised his head and took a big gulp.

Fan Zhengwen raised his head, took a big gulp, was choked, and began to cough violently.

"hehe."

Qu Peiluo laughed,

"You are a slave in business, and you can't drink so badly."

"At the level of the Fan family back then, I don't bother to greet the people below. As a slave, I am not qualified to sit and drink with the people above."

Qu Peiluo tasted it briefly, put down the jug, and said:

"Tomorrow, I probably won't be able to hold it anymore, so tonight..."

"What do you want to do tonight, young master?"

"Prepare for the Chu army's night attack."

...

The Chu people launched a night attack tonight.

But because Fan Cheng was prepared, he was repelled.

Night raids are such a thing, without the support of suddenness, it will be difficult to achieve any effect.

"You said that you probably won't be able to defend tomorrow, but the Chu army on the opposite side doesn't even want us to see the sun tomorrow." Fan Zhengwen said with emotion.

"Okay, next..."

Fan Zhengwen said with a serious face, "What are you going to do next?"

"eat supper."

...

Sunrise in the east.

Nian Yao was wearing armor and standing in front of the army.

After several days of siege, the number of the mob under his command not only did not decrease with the consumption of the siege, but doubled.

That's the thing about mobs, and when you're on the winning side, they just snowball.

The Dugu family's army was in the south, attacking the city on a large scale every day, and General Nian was in the north. Although the attack momentum was not as strong as before, the flag was bright.

Furthermore, if the reckless and local snakes in Chu want to follow the wind, they also know that no matter how poor they are in the real aristocratic circle, they still cannot squeeze in by themselves. Very "people-friendly".

"Eight days."

Nian Yao looked at the city wall ahead;

He originally thought that the most time-consuming and dangerous part of the plan should be the most time-consuming and dangerous part of his plan, and after this part was over, Fan Cheng would be at his fingertips.

But I didn't expect to be delayed here for so long.

Nian Yao felt a little regretful that the planned plan did not appear.

"General?"

The Eighth Prince stayed by Nian Yao's side all the time.

"Don't worry, my lord, we will almost be able to enter the city this afternoon."

...

To the south of Fancheng,

The white-haired Dugu Mu beat the drum himself.

The siege for eight consecutive days, even though he had a lot of soldiers and horses, which could be rotated appropriately, still made his soldiers look extremely tired.

The young man who once said that shameless words in front of his face did give him quite a surprise.

but,

That's it.

If it was the Qingluan Army of the Qu Clan that defended Fancheng, then he probably could only choose to die in the isolated city and wait for the food and grass in the city to run out.

pity,

This young man's subordinates are not the Qingluan Army.

Although Qu's Qingluan Army does not have a large number of people, it has always followed the route of elite soldiers and strong generals.

During the first battle of Wangjiang, the eldest prince wanted to fight hard to turn the tide, but was pushed back by the Qingluan army, and Li Bao died in battle.

Later, King Jingnan besieged the city with earthen walls, trapped the elite forcefully, and did not give them a chance to fight back on the frontal battlefield.

As for the Qingluan Army defeated by Lord Zheng Hou during the Battle of Chu, it was actually rebuilt hastily, and its strength and quality were not at the same level as the one led by Qu Tiannan.

The Qingluan Army, once known as the first pawn of the Great Chu, has been annihilated with the wind.

Watts,

It should be over too.

Dugu Mu, who was beating the drum, let out a loud shout:

"March!"

...

Both the offensive and defensive parties were correct in their predictions of the situation on the battlefield.

On this day,

The south wall of Fan City finally fell.

The Chu army continued to climb up, but the defenders were powerless to drive them down. They could only watch helplessly as the number of Chu troops on the city wall continued to increase. At the same time, the defenders were being forced back.

Soon, like an avalanche, the situation was completely suppressed.

The Chu army began to clean up the city wall extremely quickly, and the follow-up Chu army continued to come up.

Qu Peiluo didn't choose to gather rout troops and go up to them, but decisively chose to take the manpower around him who could command them, and retreated into the Fan Mansion in the city.

Fan Mansion is beautiful and exquisite.

On weekdays, there are quite a few masters in hiding, and any youngster who dares to approach this place will surely end in a very miserable end.

But when Xiaoxiao was replaced by the Dachu army, the refinement of Fan's mansion became a burden that broke his arms.

It is not Wubao. The reason for retreating here is because everyone tacitly chooses this place as the place to die in battle, not because they can rely on it to do something.

The ancestor of the Fan family wore a red dress, set up a table, and sat cross-legged on it.

In front of him, all the female family members of the Fan Mansion, including the well-known Nobiles of the Fan Mansion, also knelt there, but no one was crying and crying. They guarded the city for days. Busy in the future, emotionally, there has long been a foreshadowing, and many people have actually become numb.

The Fan family, the last forces in Fan City, are all moving closer to the Fan Mansion.

Fan Zhengwen is also back,

He saw his ancestors.

"The Fan family, you've finally got it right."

"The old ancestor is going to set himself on fire directly?"

The old ancestor gave Fan Zhengwen an angry look, and said: "Although it has been rumored in the world that the fighting skills of Qi refiners are unbearable, even if I am going to die, I have to pull two backs before I die."

"both?"

Qu Peiluo also retreated in with his men at this time, holding a shield in his left hand and a knife in his right hand.

One Fan Zhengwen and one himself, isn't that just two?

Of course, this was just a last-minute joke.

The more it gets to this time, when death is imminent, people will naturally become more frivolous, and some emotional things will be unconsciously magnified.

"The two of you are already going to die, so is it possible that you can still expect to live?"

immediately,

The old ancestor looked at Qu Peiluo and said with a smile:

"I really didn't expect that at the end of my life, I would have to die with my master's family."

Qu Peiluo nodded with a smile, then turned around and ordered: "In formation, if you can block for a while, it's enough to pull one more before you die."

Fan Zhengwen looked at the female relatives at home and asked, "The white silk is all ready, it's time, I urge you to go on the road first."

The old ancestor shouted:

"Don't be afraid, you go down to warm the kang and cook the food, men, you will come down soon."

The female relatives did not cry, but responded in unison.

If you don't cut yourself off, you can live on, and what awaits them is that life is worse than death.

At this time, with the continuous influx of Chu troops into Fancheng, the first batch of established Chu troops began to attack Fan's mansion, and outside Fan's mansion, there was also the sound of fighting.

The figure of the old ancestor leaped up, and she, who was dressed in red, looked extremely dazzling at this time. She flew over the heads of her own people, and when she fell, her sleeves were lifted twice, and several Chu soldiers were directly overturned.

But soon, two arrows were shot, and the ancestor's expression changed.

"Boom!"

Qu Peiluo held a shield in front of him, blocking the arrows.

"Thank you to the master's family. The old man almost died as soon as he came out. It's a shame."

Qu Peiluo didn't reply to his ancestor's words,

Instead, he shouted to the back:

"Where is the dog slave!"

Later, the Patriarch of the Fan family raised his voice and shouted:

"The slave is here!"

"Put up the flag for the Lord!"

"The servant obeys!"

Fan Zhengwen was not good at martial arts, nor was he strong enough, but it was no problem to support a flag, and a flag of the Qingluan Army embroidered with the Qu clan emblem was erected.

When they saw this flag, the attacking Chu army was also stunned.

Qu Peiluo threw down his shield and clenched the knife in his hands. Beside him, gathered the last batch of dozens of Qu's children who had been following him.

"Brothers, I wanted to give you riches and honors, but I made a slip of the tongue. When I get to the bottom, I won't care about you anymore, so don't come to settle accounts with me.

The ancestors of the Qu family have to line up to beat me, the unworthy descendant of the Qu family, it's not your turn! "

"Hahaha!"

"Ha ha ha ha!"

this moment,

In Qu Peiluo's mind, the scene of his father Qu Tiannan's expedition emerged, the scene of himself bringing a group of white horse knights to welcome the bride on the wedding day, and the scene of himself kneeling on the green beach, holding a knife and preparing to fight. The scene of suicide.

died,

It's all over.

Pity,

I really want to hug her baby.

"Ahhhhhh!!!!!!"

Qu Peiluo let out a loud roar:

"Green Luan Army, come in!"

………

"General, the city is broken in the south!"

"General, we are also broken here!"

"General, they have already entered the city!"

"Hahaha, it's time to write notes for Brother Huang."

The Eighth Prince couldn't restrain the excitement in his heart, and almost danced.

These days of fighting are a great torture for both attackers and defenders.

After all, the Chu army still had the shackles to congratulate the regent on enthroning, and no one dared to delay.

Nian Yao looked at the Eighth Prince, but he didn't feel any excitement in his heart.

The latest information from the north of Mount Meng has just arrived,

The Yan people did not choose to launch an offensive against Mount Meng, nor did they intend to open up a mountain road to support Fancheng.

this is very unusual,

Was it because the people of Yan knew that rescue was impossible, so they just gave up on Fancheng?

Nian Yao immediately stretched his waist,

road:

"That's right, Tian Wujing went far to the west, the people of Yan changed their emperor, the people of the previous generation left, and the people of the next generation will not have that kind of atmosphere."

...

Facing the south of Fan City, he saw his soldiers starting to go up the city wall one by one, and saw that the city gates that were originally blocked were being cleared out.

Dugu Mu finally sat back on his handsome seat.

Finally, it was taken.

A general beside him brought up a ginseng, Dugu Mu reached out to take it, took a bite, and squeezed it in his mouth.

This general is called Dugu Nian, a talent from Dugu's family. He served in the Royal Imperial Army in his early years and worked under Nian Yao. For this expedition, Dugu Mu asked him to be transferred back to his side.

"A Nian."

"grandfather."

"The matter here is over. Grandpa, I should also retire. The troops of our Dugu family will be taken care of by you next."

"Grandpa is not old."

"We can't fall in love, we have to give His Majesty face, and His Majesty can give us face. You keep one of the soldiers and horses of this family, and leave the rest to the imperial court to disassemble. It doesn't matter whether it belongs to the local army or the royal family's forbidden army." up.

It's time to take a step back, and it's time to take a step back.

There is only so much grandpa can do. In the future, it will depend on your generation to stand up and assist His Majesty to protect the country of Chu people like me. "

"Grandpa, don't worry, grandson will definitely live up to grandpa's expectations."

"Um."

At this time, messenger soldiers came to report again, and the remnants in the city were still resisting.

Dugu Nian smiled and said: "They are still fighting trapped beasts, dying, I really don't know what is the point of their persistence."

"They are waiting for the Yan people to come to rescue them."

"Grandpa, no matter how powerful the Yan people are, they can't fly, how could they be saved in time..."

"woo woo woo woo!!!!!!"

Suddenly the trumpet sounded;

Immediately, the sound of rolling thunder came from behind.

Dugu Mu stood up abruptly and looked back.

Behind the army, behind the camp, a sky full of dust was raised, and within the dust, there seemed to be a thousand drums beating together.

"Tiger!"

"Tiger!"

"Tiger!"

immediately,

Groups of knights in black armor whizzed out from the dust and fog, connecting lines with dots and forming planes with lines, boundless and endless!

The black dragon flag and the double-headed eagle flag flutter in the wind in the army, like the ferocious fangs of a ferocious beast!

Yan Jun,

coming!
