Chapter 53 The War Begins(2/2)
Just then...
A soldier was snatched from outside the hall, "The head of the family, it's not good. Master Lan of the city lord's mansion ordered the city gate to close the heavy troops and guard the city. Those who leave the city without authorization will be killed immediately..."
"Oh no! Now... I can't do it anymore if I want to leave!" Several old men jumped in anxiousness.
Another soldier rushed in, "The head of the family, Master Lan, the mansion of the city lord, please go and discuss quickly. It's urgent for ten thousand yuan, and the carriage is waiting outside."
Hearing this, Qin Yan stood up, "Father, let's go to the city lord's mansion first and see how Master Lan deals with this war."
"Yan'er, go quickly and return!" Qin Tianpeng said nervously and anxiously.
...
Lingxiao City.
The mansion of the city lord like a palace.
Inside a palace.
The lord of Lingxiao City is high on the dragon throne, with a Explosion Realm on both sides of the left and right. Below are many high-level buildings in Lingxiao City.
"Hmph!" At this time, the Lord of Lingxiao had an angry face, and a terrifying aura that was above the creatures present rushed out four times. The entire space of the hall seemed to be trembling. "My daughter's family, my grandson, and the people I sent to pick up, were all captured by the people of Lantian City... OK, very good, the small town dared to disobey my majesty..."
"Master Lord..." Below, a middle-aged man dressed in Confucian scholar came out from the crowd and said lightly, "Master Lord Lord Lord Please calm down. My eldest lady's family, Lantian City dare not touch it, that is, it will be captured. The war will be used as hostages and threaten us... But at this point, Lantian City has already understood our intention to start a war. Without further ado, we should use thunder means to march overnight, and do not give Lantian City any chance to breathe or prepare..." This person was obviously a member of Lingxiao City's aide and military advisor, with a light of conspiracy and deception on his face.
The Lord of Lingxiao nodded, "The small city can be broken at will. However, Blue Sky City is just the beginning. We must take down Blue Sky City with a perfect victory, boost our morale, and make other cities feel scared. In this way, we can continue to expand our territory in a short time and build a powerful vassal state at the lowest cost. Mr. Zhao, what trick do you have to defeat Blue Sky City?"
The Confucian scholar smiled slightly, shook his head and said, "City Lord, the world is fighting for hegemony, mainly for the offensive and defensive battles in the city. It is simple and direct, but it contains extremely moving charm, like a game of chess, the attack and defense are fighting each other to see who eats who in the end. This kind of game, if you get hooked, you can't stop. Zhao was deeply obsessed with this and also knew this... Well, it's not difficult to defeat the Blue Sky City, it's like shooting dust, but it's difficult. It doesn't take a single soldier and a soldier to defeat it..."
"It's not easy to do without a soldier?" Someone immediately raised questions in the hall.
The Confucian scholar smiled sarcastically, "It's not difficult. The Blue Sky City is surrounded by mountains on three sides, with only one city gate, and there is no way to retreat; the city is not in a high ground, but in a low-lying place between the two mountains, and the water and grass are not strong, so there is no danger to defend; the total force is only a few hundred thousand, and no one can use it..."
"No need to spend a single soldier to break this city. The first step is to order the vanguard army to cross the Lanjiang River tonight. The second step is to ask the vanguard army to cross the Lanjiang River. However, the vanguard army was at the city but did not attack the city immediately. Instead, they cut down all the trees outside the Lantian City, shoveled all the mountains and hills, and even the stones were left behind, making the outside of the city a barren wilderness. This is a "solid wall and clear field". At the same time, the city is in a huge panic, and people are confused. The third step is to cross the Lanjiang River and set up a formation under the Lantian City to strongly deter it; the fourth step is to show the body of Lan Wuyou, the lord of Lantian City, the city lord Lantian City, to show the public; the fifth step is to rule the world and visit the Lantian City in person... In this way, Lantian City will inevitably give up any resistance and open the city gate to surrender. We can kill more than 100,000 troops in Lantian City to collectively deter other cities to serve as a warning..."
"Okay! Mr. Zhao is indeed a clever plan!" The Lord of Lingxiao applauded.
"City Lord, our vanguard army, 200,000 people, have gathered by the Lan River. Tonight, cross the river. Before dawn, you can step on the other side of the Lantian City territory... The main force has an army of 600,000, and you can also cross the river three days later..." A general wearing armored warlike pissed off.
"Okay! Order the 200,000 vanguard troops to cross the river immediately. Before dawn, they must cross the Lan River and the troops are at the city!" The Lord of Lingxiao waved his hand and issued an order. His aura of dominating the world was fully revealed.
