During the first day of the attack, the Celestial Army lost 500 soldiers, and more than 10,000 soldiers were injured. As for the results of the battle, it consumed a large number of shells, arrows and other items from the "Huoyun" city.

For twenty consecutive days, the Celestial Army has been using low-intensity siege, causing a lot of casualties to the defenders of "Huoyun" City. Wen Yuan and his team had no choice but to choose this trick. After all, it would be much easier to get "Huoyun" City with relatively gentle means than to completely destroy it and rebuild the walls themselves.

The fame of Long Feng and Gnu gradually became louder. Long Feng's fame is that he always uses magic with all kinds of despicable and dirty means to cause countless troubles to the defenders of "Huoyun" City. Occasionally, these spells will affect the Celestial camp, allowing almost everyone to avoid him when they see him; Gnu almost became a perfect image of a war god. After participating in a siege battle, he rushed up to the city tower with a shield sword, killed seven opponents, and killed more than 300 soldiers. Unfortunately, the subsequent troops were completely suppressed and could not rush to the top of the city wall to seize that section of the city wall. Long Feng, who was afraid of being too exposed, slashed a small lightning for Gnu from afar, causing Gnu to escape from the city wall.

However, this performance alone has made Gnu a hero among the soldiers of the Celestial Empire. Although the strength of his internal strength is still a certain difference with the famous generals of the Celestial Empire, his rather fearless fighting method made almost all the generals sigh behind their backs and say, "It is really painful to have someone fight against a wild beast."

Yang Tian, ​​who was idle, also gained a lot of fame. Of course, the color of this reputation was not very good-looking: under the arrangement of Long Feng and Fense, who deliberately wanted to watch the fun, Yang Tian found a girl among the few residents in the nearby town who did not escape to the southern plains. When he was about to rape him on the spot, he was pulled up by the soldiers of the Military Discipline Inspection Department. After being embarrassed, Wen Yuan sternly scolded Yang Tian for being punished by the ten-army sticks, which made all the powerful and powerful people in Western vassal states very jealous of the special treatment Yang Tian received.

The wind blowing through Yang Tian’s forehead had a hint of chill. Long Feng said boredly behind him: “This is not possible. Although this city is almost knocked down, I am always a little scared.”

Yang Tian, ​​who had seen the real bloody battle scene, asked him with a slightly mature look, "Is there anything wrong? We still have an absolute advantage now? The 'Huoyun' city is about to be conquered. If the wall is slightly repaired, we can spend the winter here comfortably. When the spring is over, we can cooperate with the navy and give the people of the Black Cloud Empire on this plain a good look... What's wrong?"

Long Feng looked at the stone-towering tool that was throwing the huge rock to the top of the city in the distance, and whispered: "It's because the delay is too great. If the army of more than three million people is forced to push, it can also push the nearby city. However, Wen Yuan is too worried, and he is still entangled with the "Fire Cloud" city. If the commander of the Black Cloud Empire makes all his bets, the trouble will be the army of the Celestial Empire."

Yang Tian didn't say anything. In his mind, although Long Fengxiang's words made sense, he really couldn't see what was wrong with the situation. The Celestial Alliance Army had 3.37 million, and the Black Cloud Empire had only 3 million regular troops here. Excluding those beheaded soldiers, there was probably only 2.2 million left. Even if they attacked them all, the Celestial Alliance Army had no reason to lose. According to the Celestial Generals, the enemy troops at the sea should have been driven back, right?

Long Feng didn't say anything. From the air, he vaguely felt some bad symptoms. His spiritual cultivation was getting higher and higher, and he began to have the instinct of premonition and danger unique to some small creatures. He keenly noticed the improvement of his ability, but he could not grasp the specific situation. It seemed that something was wrong with Yang Wei's people, and he had not contacted him normally for more than ten days... Long Feng calculated that according to his own strength, he could protect Yang Tian's life no matter what, and the rest was no longer what he considered.

Night came secretly.

There was a sudden commotion in the southern camp. The soldiers who were waiting for the battle to wake up suddenly, raised their torches and searched for a small group of people who were said to have rushed into the camp.

The central army in the northern camp was immediately brightly lit. At a moment, the entire camp of the Celestial Union was mobilized, carefully observing the "Huoyun" city ten miles away.

After a long time, the blazing fire head suddenly burned from the "Huoyun" city. The soldiers of the Black Cloud Empire with ferocious faces were covered with the top of the city. They suddenly brought the strong men in the city to the top of the city. Then in the bloody rain, the heads of those men were chopped down by the soldiers holding a sharp sword behind them. The bodies were mercilessly pushed under the city wall. Then, another group of men were followed.

Some brave men began to resist, but they were immediately shot into hedgehogs by archers. Several good-skilled men jumped off the city wall and ran towards the camp of the Heavenly Dynasty with their sprained thighs. They had just struggled for more than ten steps, but were turned into a fireball by the magician on the top of the city.

Yang Tian and Long Feng took Fense and Gnu sneaked into the central army. In this strange situation, the central army with the most masters is the safest. This is also the first reaction of Yang Tian after Long Feng constantly instilled the creed of safety first in Yang Tian. As for the 80,000 elite soldiers under their command, they were too lazy to pay attention to it. His life is the most important, right?

Wen Yuan and his subordinates observed the changes in the "Huoyun" city, murmured to himself, and asked as if asking everyone around him: "What do you think they are doing? Are the people in the city suddenly causing trouble and they are suppressing?"

Qi Zhantian frowned and said, "It's impossible. If the people were in trouble, there should be some omen. It's a bit strange that the fire suddenly became scattered, and all the strong were slaughtered. Moreover, there seemed to be no movement in the city, so I really couldn't figure out what the problem was."

Long Feng was bad and said maliciously: "It is said that some evil magic requires a large amount of human blood and soul as sacrifices for the demon king. Look, everyone, are they preparing some evil magic with great lethality when they are using it?"

The mages near the Central Army changed their faces one by one, desperately recalling whether they had seen relevant information in some classics. As a result, the more things they recalled, the ugly their faces became. The strange atmosphere made all the generals of the Central Army a little uneasy.

Wen Yuan quickly issued an order: "Tell all battalions to respond carefully. If there is any riot, kill them without any silence."

More than a dozen bald monks in black slowly walked out of several camps near the Central Army, with their faces so hard to see. They were apostles of the Great Black Heaven Sect, but they were not very clear about the Western magic system, so they naturally could not distinguish what the other party was busy with. They had to come out regardless of the secret existence and protect Wen Yuan and other important figures first.

The wind slowly blew from the "Huoyun" city, bringing waves of heat and the smell of popcorn. Long Feng took a deep breath and said with a little nostalgic: "It smells so fragrant, so fragrant, so fragrant popcorn."

Wen Yuan turned his head curiously and asked him: "Mr. Longfeng, what is popcorn?"

Long Feng immediately became energetic and explained in detail: "The more simple method is to put corn, rice, etc. in an iron tube, add a little sugar, then seal it, place it on a high heat to grill it, and keep turning the iron tube so that the rice inside will not be baked, and it will also facilitate the sugar to stick to the rice evenly. After this thing is out of the pot..."

Wen Yuan and others, who were already pale, were too lazy to listen to Long Feng's further explanation. Wen Yuan shouted angrily: "Send the order, all camps, prepare to fight, be careful of the enemy's breakthrough."

Long Feng shut his mouth in a sensible way and whispered to Yang Tian: "Hey, the reaction was a little slower. You should have known for a long time that you have killed all the elite men, so that you don't have enough familiarity with geography to use it. You burned all the food and grass to see how you spend the winter. Then, the whole army broke through. Even if you can't rush out, you will have to let you have more injuries and see how you play this winter."

Yang Tianxing whispered gloatingly: "I deserve it. Look at them underestimating the people of the Black Cloud Empire. If they are forced to do something, they might as well just take a break and see how you play."

The lights on the city walls gradually went out. The permanent population of "Huoyun" city is only one million. Now more than 200,000 males have been massacred, and their bodies are piled up with the land under the city wall. The highest place is almost parallel to the city wall.

The Tian Dynasty's army silently arranged its defensive formations and prepared to resist the desperate breakthrough action of the defenders of the "Huoyun" city. Although they didn't know which direction they would choose to break through, if they were in a hurry to join their large troops, they would choose the south. This is the easiest way to break through. Therefore, although Wen Yuan ordered all the camps to prepare, only the people from the southern camp were really nervous. Several elite troops also quickly transferred from the nearby camp to prepare for a head-on blow to the enemy.

The four gates of the "Huoyun" city were wide open, and black soldiers rushed out of the city like a tide.

Wen Yuan frowned: "Damn it, in order to cover the raid of his large army, some soldiers were sacrificed as bait. Which direction did they choose?"

In front of the central army's tent, more than 20 new artillery guns had slightly raised their guns, preparing to give a devastating blow to the chargeable enemy. Thirty thousand crossbowmen also aimed the powerful crossbow in their hands at the sky.

The four breakout troops were running desperately at almost the same speed, so the camps in the four directions of the Celestial Dynasty began to pour death into their queues almost at the same time. The soldiers rushing out of the North City Gate were particularly miserable. The power of the new artillery was unimaginable to them. Often, with a ball of fire, hundreds of soldiers surrounded by densely packed together disappeared without a trace. Survivors rushed towards the Celestial Dynasty camp, and they were greeted by the raindrop-like crossbow arrows.

The "Fire Cloud" defenders in the other three directions were almost gone after the first wave of attacks, and tens of thousands of corpses were piled up on the ground in each direction. Only the north gate facing the central army, endless crowds continued to rush towards the direction where the central army's tent was located. Many soldiers had no time to come out of the city gate, so they simply jumped off the city wall and clashed over with the hill-like corpses.

Yang Tian sighed and said, "Fortunately, we are still ten miles away from the first camp. No matter how powerful they are, they can't rush over, right?" Long Feng nodded repeatedly. Gnu tried his best to hold his big sword and stood behind Yang Tian. The other generals of the Celestial Kingdom gave Yang Tian a blank look, but withdrew their gaze from Wen Yuan and Qi Zhantian's sharp eyes.

The artillery that was lifted out in a hurry was no longer able to continue firing after each artillery fired ten shells, and all the crossbowmen's crossbow arrows were shot. More than 30,000 corpses were arranged in front of the camp, but more than 200,000 soldiers from the Black Cloud Empire had rushed up and began to slash and slash the horse-resisting, wooden fences and other items in front of the camp.

The soldiers holding the "Spit Dragon Spear" walked forward and mercilessly stabbed the spear into the chests of the soldiers of the Black Cloud Empire who were about a trunk away. Countless black cloud soldiers rushed over, pushing the bodies of their companions in front of them, and hitting the fragile fence. In the Celestial Empire, three or four soldiers used a spear at the same time and stabbed out fiercely. The sharp spear tip pierced the bodies of four or five soldiers stacked together, and then shrank back violently, followed by another stabbing after a long-distance acceleration.

The generals in the central army's tent looked much more relaxed. Under such circumstances, the soldiers of Heiyun were not too late to rush into the camp and would die under the command of these elite spearmen. At the same time, several elite troops had already rushed out of the camp in other directions and surrounded the rear route of the Heiyun army. The southern camp sent 200,000 troops to rush into the city to rescue food and grass.

Gnu suddenly shouted: "Hey, more and more people are dying, so they can stand on the bodies and jump into the camp. The fences are only one or more people high, so it's not difficult to jump over."

As soon as he finished speaking, countless black shadows stood on the pile of corpses and jumped into the camp frantically. His steel knife was shattered with the spear. The spearmen were shocked, and they dropped the spear and retreated to the rear, but thousands of people had been cut over.

The Black Cloud soldiers who had already entered the camp ignored the retreating spearmen and desperately cut open the fence, pushed the logs, and let their companions come in from behind. They just turned around, and the spearmen who had their eyes red-eyed red had reorganized their equipment, and once again stinged them together, and joined them together with their companions who rushed into the camp happily.

The generals who stood on the hillside in front of the Central Army's tent watched this scene shook their heads, and one general concluded: "A very elite soldier is much more powerful than what we have encountered before."

Before his sigh could be heard, more than 100,000 Black Cloud soldiers, led by their generals, had rushed into the camp and fought with the soldiers of the Celestial Empire. The soldiers of the Celestial Empire, who obviously had a manpower advantage, rushed out of the tent, surrounded the group of soldiers, and then gradually divided them.

Just as the soldiers began to gather, they had been hiding in the Black Cloud soldiers, and the magicians who struggled to keep up with the raid were exerting their power. They gathered their energy frantically, and then began to explode in a crazy place where the soldiers of the Celestial Union Army were most dense. A magician could at least make about 300 soldiers lose their combat power. Then the Black Cloud soldiers who rushed over cut off a part of their limbs without hesitation.

Wen Yuan punched the flagpole in front of him with a fierce punch. As the generals exclaimed, a bloody flower burst into his fist. Qi Zhantian roared angrily: "Send the order, open the distance and shoot them, this group of bastards to death. It's fast. Now the distance is not enough, just shoot those in their crowd."

The senior archers were instructed and began to gradually show their power. Although the Black Cloud soldiers were separated, they roughly gathered into five large corpses. The bows and arrows poured out like rain, causing heavy casualties to the soldiers in their center.

The commander of the "Huoyun" city had blood-red eyes and chopped off more than a dozen elite soldiers of the "Tiger and Wolf Army" and rushed towards the central army tent with colorful dragon flags flying high. The soldiers who were entangled on the road were not a single move. However, the other generals who could intercept him were blocked by the dense soldiers. They could only watch the crazy he flew countless lanterns and torches along the way, lit countless tents, and rushed towards the central army.

Long Feng whispered to Yang Tian, ​​"Did you see it? If possible in the future, don't tell the enemy your exact location. Otherwise, you can ruin your life with just one shot."

Yang Tian also asked him in a low voice, "So, if the soldiers don't know where I am, wouldn't they be depressed?"

Long Feng said irresponsibly: "Then, let a few scapegoats carry your flag and run around, and you can even train a few stunts... Anyway, as long as you are safe, no matter what else he says." Yang Tian, ​​who felt very reasonable, nodded and agreed quickly.

Wen Yuan has ordered: "Let the enemy general come over, who will kill the enemy for me?"

The military commanders shouted loudly and ordered it to pass by waves. All the soldiers on the road threw away the brave commander of the "Huoyun" city and went straight to the place where the Black Cloud soldiers were besieged. More than a dozen special-quality generals Longxiong were happy to see the hunting, and rushed towards the commander.

The commander of the "Huoyun" city flew under the hill where everyone stood. Regardless of the weapons that the generals waved towards his body, they rushed straight up the hill. The generals cursed fiercely and took back their weapons. After all, it was not something that the arrogant and arrogant person could do.

Long Feng murmured almost in dissatisfaction, and raised his hand to slash a wind blade. The thick wind blade, which was three feet long, roared and destroyed all the flagpoles, wooden railings and other items on the road, and slashed at the commander of the "Fire Cloud" city, whose mind was already unclear. There was no room for resistance at all. This aggressive brave general was stirred into a pool of meat paste by the wind blade and sprinkled on the ground.

Wen Yuan looked at Long Feng with a little surprise. Long Feng burst into a cold sweat on his face, and complained with a sneer: "Damn it, I'm afraid that he will hurt Your Highness, so I'm trying hard to emit such a wind blade, but I've used up all the strength to have a baby." Wen Yuan nodded in understanding and withdrew his gaze. After all, in Wen Yuan's small knowledge of Western methods, he vaguely knew that the mage could force his unbearable power in some way. In the Eastern Continent, it seemed to be called something disintegration.

After a night of trouble, all the soldiers who broke through the Black Cloud Empire were killed. More than 2,000 soldiers surrendered, but several generals of the Celestial Empire who were very angry because of the many casualties under their command, simply ordered them to behead them.

More than 80,000 casualties were killed in the Beida camp of the Celestial Union, and most of them were seriously injured. However, all the defenders of the "Huoyun" City were destroyed. In their bodies, more than a dozen men wearing strange tight black leather armor were found. In contact with the situation before and after, it should be that they conveyed the order of the commander of the Black Cloud Empire in the southern plains, allowing the "Huoyun" City to destroy all the items that might have been used by the Celestial Union and break through the encirclement.

The result of monitoring the warehouse made Wen Yuan's heart full of heavy lead. The food and grass that was originally expected to be available for the army's year had been almost burned, but it left behind many things that Long Feng called popcorn.

Because the shock brought by the desperate breakthrough of the defenders of the "Huoyun" city has not yet passed, even more unfavorable news has been heard one by one. The cavalry troops have monitored all the food and grass, and only part of it has been taken away by the garrison, sweeping all the fine and soft things in the city, giving up the city they are stationed overnight.

The cavalry team, which had a little different strength from them, did not dare to pursue them rashly. After following them for a while, they found that they seemed to have retreated with purpose, and had to stop chasing them. After a little checking the warehouse of the abandoned city, they could only turn around the camp helplessly.

The Rangers sent to the hinterland of the Southern Plains to explore the information helplessly: the military headquarters of the Black Cloud Empire stationed in the Southern Plains summoned all the garrisons and the rangers outside, and set up camps near the port of "Shuiyun" in the southern continent, which was very tempting to fight to the death with the Celestial Army.

Wen Yuan, who was troubled by these unfavorable news, finally received an urgent secret report that surprised everyone. The secret letter sent by the secret battalion master of the sea fleet running overnight said: The power system of the new warship has a fatal weakness, and it suffered heavy losses in the battle to block the maritime traffic line and was unable to stop the Black Cloud Empire's reinforcements to the southern plains. Fortunately, the local warships of the Celestial Empire rushed to the straits again, but about one million new recruits from the Black Cloud Empire had already headed to the southern plains.

Just as all the senior officials were discussing military operations in the Central Military Bureau's tent, Yang Tian and Long Feng sneaked out.

Yang Tian said with a smile: "I had a good plan, but unfortunately there was an unexpected situation in the world. It was a big trouble... The number of people in the main army was similar to ours, and at least they still had a lot of food and grass to eat. We were so happy. Maybe we couldn't survive this winter and we were starving to death."

Long Feng said indifferently: "What are you afraid of? No matter how many people starve to death, we won't be hungry. As for whether we can win, it depends on how the army of the Celestial Empire deals with it. Anyway, there is no way to pass by the huge rock wilderness now. Now we have to spend the winter in the "Huoyun" city or any other city."

Yang Tian calculated, took out a gold coin and said, "Let's bet and see who is accurate. I guess we will attack their camp when our military strength is still in an advantage. What do you think?"

Long Feng snatched his gold coins without hesitation and said carelessly: "You will lose. If it is in a large area, if it is the entire southern plain, three million troops will spread to the ground, and there are not many soldiers on each unit of land. Or if they defend the city and we attack the city, I think Wen Yuan will attack desperately... The problem is that now they have set up a large camp. If we attack, we will fight for someone with more people. In the end, the winner will be the number of people... Don't forget that they have more than one million support and we may not win at that time... Even if we win this game, if we lose millions of troops, Wen Yuan will not have a good life when he goes back, and the idiot will hit him violently."

Yang Tian was stunned and did not hide his reluctance to the gold coin in Long Feng's hand. He said slowly: "I guess it's wrong. I didn't think carefully. I can't say what I lack."

Long Feng comforted him and said, "It doesn't matter. At most, you don't have enough experience. It has nothing to do with us anyway. If the Celestial Alliance wins, we will secretly make some military achievements. If they lose, we will immediately leave. I don't believe that the monster Gnu can open the way, and the soldiers of the Black Cloud Empire can stop us."

Yang Tian and Long Feng, a pair of people who seemed to have no idea what the responsibility was, laughed strangely. Long Feng felt very upset about himself. In fact, he was not such a person, but since someone asked him to train Yang Tian to be such a bastard, he might as well be a bastard.

×××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××

All the senior officials of Western vassal states were abandoned outside. The Celestial military made a decision and searched for all the nearby food and grass that could be found, leaving only food that could barely survive the winter for the remaining people. The Celestial army slowly rushed to the port of "Shuiyun" and stationed in a arc of six cities, "Tianfeng", "Tianyun", "Tianshui", "Black Sun", "Black Cloud", and formed a blockade line to the camp of the Black Cloud Empire fifty miles away.

In fact, as long as the Celestial Army can defend this line of defense, it is equivalent to declaring the loss of the Black Cloud Empire's possible influence on the entire Western continent. What they have now is just a land area of ​​more than 500 miles wide for the foreign land of the "Shuiyun" port.

Wen Yuan was optimistic that the situation was not very bad, at least inexplicably they approached the final goal of this plan. Although the situation of the Celestial Army is not very good now, Wen Yuan optimistically believed that as long as he survived this winter, everything would be fine. The only thing to do now is to organize the remaining people to prepare for the sowing problem after the spring begins.

Long Feng took the opportunity to teach Yang Tian a lesson, "The common people can desperately be used as cannon fodder when fighting, but if you really want to continue the war, you still can't do it. Look, the Celestial Alliance is powerful enough, right? But now the hope of winning is placed on the old and small people... The Black Cloud Empire's move is still amazing. It has massacred so many strong laborers. If we hadn't brought some husbands here, we would have been preparing to go hungry again next spring."

Yang Tian looked at the vast land outside the city of "Tianfeng" and kept nodding.

Long Feng sighed and said, "It's a pity that the Black Cloud Empire doesn't seem to understand this truth. They have controlled the southern plains for more than ten years, and it seems that the population has not increased much. If they try their best to encourage childbirth, there were more than 30 million people in the past, but now there can be at least 60 million people. At least it will be much more convenient for them to recruit soldiers."

Wen Yuan's voice suddenly came out and said: "According to our information, the Black Cloud Empire does not seem to allow people who are regarded as lowly races to enter their army, saying that it is to maintain the noble bloodline of their army."

Looking at Wen Yuan and others who were slowly approaching, Long Feng cursed: "They are idiots. As long as they can take weapons and kill the other soldiers, they are qualified soldiers. What kind of bullshit bloodline... Could it be that the people born with nobles have one more bird than ordinary people?"

Wen Yuan chuckled a few times and didn't say anything. After all, there were differences between dignitaries and ordinary people within the Celestial Empire. He was not easy to answer for Long Feng's radical and a little vulgar comment.

Yang Tianke did not have these enlightenment and directly asked Wen Yuan: "Master, how long can we eat our current food?"

Wen Yuan looked a little bad and whispered: "Your Highness, I'm not hiding you. We don't bring much food and grass. The food we have collected now is only enough for us to use for more than two months. But if it's time to sow, it will take at least four months... Hey, if it's on the ground of the Southern Barbarians of the Celestial Dynasty, they can sow four times a year, so there will be no such trouble. Although this is the southern plain of the Western continent, it is geographically referred to as Liuhua Continent, it is just the south central part of the mainland, and it is not too warm and humid climate."

Yang Tian shouted: "Wouldn't that be it? We will have no food to eat in more than two months?"

Wen Yuan quickly stopped him nervously and said, "Work softer, whisper. We can only know these situations, and we must not let the soldiers know. There will always be food, but if the army is in chaos, we will have no choice."

Long Feng laughed and said, "So he knew that he would not be able to reach the beginning of spring next year, and now he would start preparing a plan to sow, that is, to stabilize the morale of the army? However, I don't understand that this plan of march is simply messy. Marshal Wenyuan, you won't make such a mistake, right?"

Wen Yuan gritted his teeth, shook his head, and said without saying anything. After a long time, he said in a low voice: "The problem is, I didn't expect the other party to fight back against us in such a way that he was so desperate... and those navy troops who were confident that they could block their sea passage... Alas..."
To be continued...
