"Tonight at 8 PM, the highly anticipated game will officially launch across the entire star domain! The game's synchronized power will allow humanity to break through the shackles of carbon...
"For the Marshal, charge!"
“Charge!”
This time, the attackers carried ladders, and the soldiers on both sides held up shields to block arrows and slowly moved towards the city wall.
It can be seen that Dong Zhuo did not dare to be careless this time.
"Swish swish~"
The arrow arrived as expected.
The soldiers holding shields dodged a bit, but the soldiers in the open space were injured one after another, but this had little impact on the siege.
The siege troops continued to advance with ladders.
After enduring several waves of arrow rain, the ladder was finally set up.
The shield soldiers did not stop for long and began to climb the ladder.
At this time, stones from the top of the city began to hit every soldier who wanted to come up.
“Bang, bang, bang!”
All of a sudden, the attacking soldiers were thrown down one after another, and climbing the ladders was as difficult as climbing to the sky.
"Keep going!"
After the first wave was defeated, the second wave began.
But under the impact of powerful stones, it was still useless.
The soldiers climbing the city wall were suppressed.
"General, no! We can't go up. There are too many stones in the city. And many of them are deadly. My soldiers can't even get up."
"Hold on! Keep going!"
"General, as the Art of War says, 'The first attack is powerful, the second is weak, and the third is exhausted. If we attack again, our soldiers will mutiny.'"
Li Su persuaded.
After hearing this, Dong Zhuo realized that he could not force it, as these were soldiers from the imperial court.
He couldn't fully control it.
"Hey! Let's go back then. Let's rest for a few more days."
Dong Zhuo could only think of a countermeasure.
Fengyun is as stable as sitting on Diaoyutai.
What they don’t know is that some of the stones are supported by wind and clouds.
Anyway, they can be taken back after the war, so Fengyun is not stingy.
After the imperial soldiers retreated, he simply collected the fallen stones.
The next day, Dong Zhuo was still trying to appease the generals.
"Go and calm the soldiers down as quickly as possible, and we'll attack again."
"Marshal, today is different from the past. Morale is severely damaged and will not be able to recover for several days."
"Brothers, we don't have time. You guys figure it out."
Just as Dong Zhuo was still encouraging himself, the curtain outside the tent was lifted and a sharp sound was heard.
"Dong Zhuo, you failed again yesterday. His Majesty has lost his patience. Come with us. Let's go and apologize to His Majesty."
Dong Zhuo cursed the eunuch in his heart when he saw him. But he could only apologize:
"Eunuch, please explain to His Majesty and give me a few more days. Next time, I will definitely take Jian'an."
Then he handed over a bag of copper coins.
Unexpectedly, the young eunuch's face turned cold and he said:
"Hehehe, go explain it to His Majesty yourself. We are powerless to help."
"Eunuch, I know His Majesty is angry. Could you please ask the eunuchs to appease His Majesty for me? I will definitely thank you generously."
"Impossible, you must come with me today. Someone, come! Take Dong Zhuo away."
The young eunuch waved his hand and ordered the guards to arrest the man.
"Who of you dares?"
Niu Fu was the first to step forward to stop them, as he was Dong Zhuo's son-in-law.
If he doesn't stand up and show his loyalty, how will others view him?
However, Dong Zhuo did not let the situation develop out of control and immediately said:
"Don't be reckless. It's okay for me to go with him. Go and take care of the attendants immediately."
"But?"
"No buts, just do as I say. We can't command these imperial soldiers. If they make any unusual movements, we will be killed on the spot."
Dong Zhuo saw things clearly. He was too careless this time and did not bring his own troops with him.
Otherwise, I wouldn't be so passive.
"Take it away!"
Seeing Dong Zhuo surrender, the young eunuch just said something lightly.
It was as if he had everything under control.
Just after Dong Zhuo was taken away, the imperial soldiers also retreated.
At this time in Jian'an City, Feng Yun and Zhang Jiao were about to discuss again.
"My lord, although we have repelled Dong Zhuo's attack this time, the imperial court will surely continue to attack us endlessly. How can we have peace then?"
"So what are your plans?"
"I think occupying the existing city is the worst option, and going to our Qiubai City is not an option. If possible, I want to build a city myself."
Fengyun frowned, it’s not easy to choose a location.
"What's good about you?"
"No, it's too remote to support so many soldiers, and if it's too busy, the imperial court will encircle and suppress it. It's difficult!"
Fengyun thought the same.
But he immediately thought of a good place.
"Yes, I have an idea of a place that would be perfect for them."
"Ah? Lord, tell me where it is?"
Zhang Jue was obviously impatient.
"Happy Island." Fengyun said with a smile.
"What is this place? Why have I never heard of it?"
Looking at Zhang Jue's surprised expression, he grinned again.
"What about Pleasure Garden?"
Now Zhang Jue understood.
"My Lord, are you saying that you built that paradise? And built it on an island?"
"Yes, you are right."
At this time, Zhang Jiao asked again:
"What if the imperial court sends troops?"
"You don't have to worry about that. First, as soon as you leave, I will immediately return Jian'an to the court. The court won't even know where you've gone. Second, as long as you reach Happy Island and become a neutral force, no one will be your enemy. If they're willing to follow me in the future, the court won't have to make things difficult for them."
After hearing this, Zhang Jue thought it was a very feasible idea, so he asked his followers:
"What do you think? You still want to live a life of fighting and killing in the future. Why don't you find a place to calm down for a while and wait until the court is not paying attention to you before coming out?"
The generals had no other opinions, but just echoed:
"We can all go wherever the Great Sage Master goes."
So Zhang Jue made a decision immediately.
"Well, in order to prevent the court from targeting us, let's stay out of the spotlight for the time being."
Then he turned around and asked:
"Then how are we supposed to get there with so many people?"
Zhang Jiao thought of the teleportation array, but if so many people were involved in the teleportation array, he would vomit blood.
This is unrealistic.
You can take a horse-drawn carriage, but that's not realistic either.
The area they actually occupied was only Jian'an City, and the farthest the carriages could reach was the suburbs of Jian'an.
It is impossible to go directly to the territory of the imperial court.
"That's fine. You guys go to the beach on the other side of Qiubai City first. I'll use the Magic Shark to bring you there in batches."
Although Zhang Jue had heard that Ruan Xiaoer had gone to command the warship.
But he didn't know how big the battleship was. In his mind, a battleship that could accommodate thousands of people was already a lot.
"My lord, how many trips will it take to transport these batches? Besides, the journey is long. If we take everyone away, it will take several years. We will all be old by then."
