Iron Cross Fire

On the other side, Zhongzhou City, Diyuan Continent.

The hundreds of thousands of troops led by Yang Jian have already set up camp outside the city.

A few days ago, Yang Jian completely broke through Yunzhou City. After a short rest, he continued to set off, conquering cities and territories along the way, and arrived in Zhongzhou City in just a few days.

Just now, Yang Jian ordered an attack on the city, which was blocked by the Ouyang family and various sects.

Speaking of which, with the strength of the Ouyang family and various sects, they are no match for the Beiying army. However, Zhongzhou City is the hinterland of Diyuan Continent and the most prosperous city. Its area is five times that of Yunzhou City, and its fortifications are almost the best in Diyuan Continent.

Under such circumstances, the Ouyang family and various sects were lucky enough to block the attack of the Beiying army. It can be said that they were able to hold on, mostly with the help of the people of Zhongzhou City and the powerful fortifications.

After the failed attempt to attack the city, Yang Jian did not take further action, but ordered the army to rest in the camp temporarily.

The Ouyang family and masters of various sects did not dare to relax at all. With the help of the people, they strengthened the defense at each entrance of Zhongzhou City, and sent people to observe the movements of the Beiying army at all times to guard against the next attack by the other side.

For a time, the entire Zhongzhou City was shrouded in shadows.

At this time, in the military tent of the Xicang camp.

Yang Jian sat in the commander's position with a gloomy face.

Zhang Jiao next to him also frowned, and the dozen generals next to him stood there, not daring to breathe.

The atmosphere of the entire military tent seemed calm, but it was full of suffocating depression.

Yang Jian was very annoyed at this time. I thought that the first wave of attack would be able to take Zhongzhou City, but I didn't expect it to fail.

But then again, Zhongzhou City is worthy of being the largest city in the Diyuan Continent. Not only is it populous, but it also has countless defensive fortifications, which is really a headache.

At this time, the vanguard general Huang Yan walked out slowly. WeNXuEmi.Cc

When he got there, Huang Yan asked cautiously, "Your Majesty, do you want to try to attack the city again before dark?"

Yang Jian waved his hand and said unhappily, "What's there to try? Are you sure you can break through the fortifications of Zhongzhou City?"

Uh...

Huang Yan looked embarrassed, then thought about it and whispered, "In fact, with the strength of our army, we can also take it down with a full-scale attack."

"Don't I know this?" Yang Jian said coldly, "If we forcibly capture Zhongzhou City, let alone the casualties of the army, the people of Zhongzhou City will also be killed and injured. I have already been cursed for taking down other cities before. Do you want me to leave an impression of a tyrant in the hearts of the people of Zhongzhou City?"

When saying this, Yang Jian was very annoyed.

Huang Yan was right. With the strength of the Beiying army, as long as they go all out, they can forcibly capture Zhongzhou City, but in this way, this prosperous Zhongzhou City will also become a ruin.

More importantly, Yang Jian didn't want to lose the support of the people.

Yang Jian was arrogant and self-righteous. He wanted to unify the nine states and become an emperor who had never been seen before and would never be seen again. However, when he captured other cities before, he made a mess of the cities he occupied because he didn't think too much about it, which made the people complain. This made Yang Jian feel very uncomfortable.

This time, Yang Jian had thought about attacking Zhongzhou City. He must occupy Zhongzhou City at the lowest cost and try not to hurt innocent people.

Uh...

Huang Yan looked embarrassed and knelt on the ground quickly, saying in fear: "Your Majesty, please calm down. I have no such intention. I just want to occupy Zhongzhou City as soon as possible to relieve your Majesty's worries."

Yang Jian was very annoyed and didn't bother to care. He waved his hand and asked him to leave.

The next second, Yang Jian tilted his head and looked at Zhang Jue: "Military Advisor, do you have any good ideas?"

Huh!

Zhang Jue took a deep breath, pondered for a moment, and said slowly: "Your Majesty does not want to harm innocent people. There is a way to occupy Zhongzhou City at the lowest cost, but I am not sure whether it will succeed!"

"Please speak, military advisor!" Yang Jian was overjoyed and hurriedly urged.

Zhang Jue smiled slightly and said, "My method is very simple. Let's send a few experts to sneak into the Ouyang family's mansion and capture Jiang Shan, and everything will be solved."

"With Yue Feng away, the woman named Jiang Shan has been commanding the battle on Tiandiyuan Continent. As long as she is captured, Tiandiyuan Continent will be leaderless and will surely be in chaos."

At the end, Zhang Jue looked confident, pointed to the sand table in front of him, and continued, "I just looked at it. The Ouyang family's mansion is in the northeast of Zhongzhou City. To the north is the suburban mountain. It is not difficult to sneak in. But whether Jiang Shan can be captured is hard to say."

Hahaha...

Hearing this, Yang Jian was overjoyed and praised sincerely, "The military advisor's method is really not good! We can try it. This matter will be handed over to the military advisor.!"

"Yes!"

Zhang Jue responded, then stood up and selected several powerful generals on the spot, asking them to sneak into the Ouyang family to capture Jiang Shan.

Speaking of which, if Zhang Jue and Yang Jian personally took action on this matter, the success rate would definitely increase, but one of them is the emperor and the other is a military advisor, how could they personally take action? Therefore, they could only let their subordinates do it.

Soon, a few minutes later, several selected generals pretended to be citizens returning from other places and sneaked into Zhongzhou City.

At this moment, the Ouyang family.

In the hall, all the members of the Ouyang family and masters of various sects gathered together, each with a solemn expression, and the atmosphere was extremely depressing.

The Beiying army is approaching the city, and Zhongzhou City is in danger.

Although they had just blocked a wave of attacks from the Northern Army, no one was happy.

Just now, Jiang Shan called everyone together to discuss the next countermeasures.

However, after discussing for a long time, no solution was feasible. Thinking of the strength of the Beiying army, everyone felt as if a huge mountain was weighing on their hearts, and there was nothing they could do.

well!

Seeing this scene, Jiang Shan frowned and sighed.

Is Zhongzhou City really hopeless? Is it God's will?

"If Fengzi were here, we wouldn't have to worry." Sun Dasheng, who was next to him, was also extremely anxious and muttered: "This kid went to find Su Qingyan, but he didn't know where he went, and he couldn't find anyone."

yes!

Hearing this, everyone present nodded silently.

If Yue Feng was here, he would definitely have a way. After all, he had successfully repelled the Beiying army in Nanyun Continent.

It's just that there is no news about Yue Feng now, so everyone can only worry.

"Mrs. Jiang!"

At this moment, Wen Chou Chou looked at Jiang Shan and said warmly: "In the past two days, you have commanded everyone to resist the Beiying army and have not had a good rest. Now that Yang Jian has not moved for the time being, you can go and have a rest. Don't worry, Zhongzhou City We will not slack off at all in our defense.”

Wen Chou Chou's heart was as thin as his hair. Seeing Jiang Shan's tired face but still holding on, she suddenly couldn't bear it.

After the words fell, everyone around them also spoke one after another.

"Yes, Mrs. Jiang, go and take a rest quickly."

"Leave the defense of Zhongzhou City to us."

"That's right, since Yue Feng is not around, you are our backbone. Don't get too exhausted."

Everyone said something to each other, all with concern. Although Jiang Shan is a woman, she has led everyone to resist the Japanese army these days. Her outstanding leadership skills have impressed many people.

"All right."

Hearing everyone's words, Jiang Shan smiled lightly and was very moved. She nodded and said, "Then I'll go and rest for a while. I'll leave everyone to worry about defense."

After saying this, Jiang Shan slowly walked out of the hall under the attention of everyone.

call!

When she arrived in the backyard, Jiang Shan took a deep breath, unable to conceal her exhaustion. Although Jiang Shan has a tough character, she is still a woman, but she is responsible for protecting Zhongzhou City. You can imagine the pressure in her heart.

swish swish...

Just when Jiang Shan was about to enter the room, she suddenly heard footsteps coming from the garden not far away.

Immediately afterwards, a dozen men in black appeared in front of them, each with a strong aura.

Hula...

When they saw Jiang Shan, the eyes of these men in black lit up.

The leader, with a stern expression and a bit of excitement in his eyes, was Huang Yan.
