One quarter of midnight.
A roar was heard from the direction of Qichuan County, followed by a faint light flashing in the sky. The light went out in an instant, and it fell into darkness again. Then a huge roar suddenly resounded through the night sky, startling the area for miles around.
Each flash of light was followed by a violent and deafening explosion.
In the darkness, you can see flames rising from the horizon, illuminating the night sky.
It means that the siege on the county town has begun.
The roars that echoed all around doubled the pressure on the 5,000 soldiers stationed at the border.
In the afternoon, 30,000 troops were responsible for clearing out the monster army moving from the direction of Hongnong County. With the help of the fire chariots provided by the Wei family, they used fire attacks to eliminate most of the monsters.
After all, the distance was hundreds of miles, so the number of monsters attracted here was not that many, only about 10,000 to 20,000.
But these monsters ran very fast at night, and any slight movement could alarm the monsters, so the soldiers did not dare to take it lightly.
Yuan Jing stood outside the tent with his hands behind his back, looking towards the county town. He said, "Fighting at night has both advantages and disadvantages. The Ten Directions Sect never expected the allied forces to launch an attack at night."
The allied forces were stationed at the boundary marker between Qichuan and Hongnong, with Hongnong County occupied by monsters behind them. The number of monsters cleared by Huayin and Lushi throughout the winter was limited.
Cao Mingyuan did not expect anything to happen at night, catching the enemy off guard.
In addition, there are monsters attracted everywhere, and there is no way to escape.
at the same time.
Wei Xiyin and Dong Zhiyao led the Wei family's troops and had been guarding the entrance to the secret passage for two hours.
The group stood motionless in the darkness.
The guard stationed in the secret passage came out once and reported that all the leads had been arranged and they were just waiting for Mr. Chu to come out.
Wei Xiyin looked towards the county town with a gloomy gaze.
It was originally thought that Chu Yu would withdraw from the fort first, and then launch an attack on the county town. However, so much time has passed and there is still no movement inside.
She was not worried that Chu Yu was in danger.
Who is Chu Yu?
In addition to being a descendant of the King of Qi, he is also a strategic and mature strategist.
What she was worried about was her big black balls!
If Chu Yu didn't come out, she couldn't give the order to light the fuse. It was a pity for those big black balls stuffed under Cao Mingyuan's bed.
With such a big commotion, it would be strange if Cao Mingyuan could sleep.
If no one is in the room, wouldn't it be a waste?
Wei Xiyin was very careful about her life, so it was impossible for her to get in. She could only wait patiently.
far away.
The loud noise, like the sudden collapse of heaven and earth, had already broken the tranquility of the night.
The rising flames danced in an orange-red color, like evil spirits partying, dyeing the night a dark red.
The moment Cao Mingyuan heard the explosion, his whole body shook as if by reflex.
The cup in his hand slid to the ground and broke into pieces with a crisp sound.
The noise came from the direction of the county town...
Something happened!
Cao Mingyuan suddenly raised his head, staring at Chu Yu with bloodshot eyes. "I have served my master wholeheartedly, to avenge the unjustly killed prince and to win the world for the prince. Yet, in the end, the prince wants to kill us all!"
He had already predicted that the current situation was closely related to the prince.
From the time he received Xiao Cheng's letter, to the time his 100,000-strong army was defeated and retreated to the county town, to the time he received the news that his youngest son had died in battle, all took no more than half a day.
Cao Mingyuan seemed to have aged ten years in an instant.
But he still didn't think he would be defeated. The army's defeat was only temporary. The amount of equipment Wei Wuniang carried was limited. How could that little stuff support the entire battle?
After Cao Mingyuan calmed down, he didn't even care about grieving for his son's tragic death. He immediately sent out several spies to investigate and ordered a re-search of the fort, determined to find out the Wei family who was behind the conspiracy.
We cannot retreat now. We have already retreated for more than 20 years. If we retreat again, how long will we have to wait?
We must regroup and order a counterattack as soon as possible.
Cao Mingyuan was extremely disappointed with the prince, but he did not come to blame him. Instead, he tried to persuade the prince, hoping that he would remember their past friendship and the loyalty of His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi and other old subordinates and lend them a helping hand.
The prince was so smart that he was able to hide from the world alone when he was young, and he accurately avoided their searches every time. He even used his wisdom and strategy to become a confidant of King Changsha.
It is difficult to control an intelligent person.
At this point, Cao Mingyuan had no choice but to stay in Chu Yu's yard, persuading him while personally monitoring his every move.
Until... an explosion was heard from the direction of the county town.
Cao Mingyuan's expression suddenly changed. The allied forces actually dared to launch a surprise attack at night!
Aren’t you afraid of being surrounded by monsters and dying together?
"For me?"
The candlelight in the room was dim, and the two sat opposite each other.
Chu Yu's face was expressionless as he said calmly, "Think carefully about it and ask yourself, who is this all for?"
Cao Mingyuan suddenly lost his voice and tightened his fingers slightly in his sleeves.
Chu Yu said slowly, "At the beginning, I expressed my position, but you didn't take it seriously at all. You didn't take my words to heart at all. You used my name to do evil, but you blamed all the mistakes on me. In the heart of Lord Cao, do you still think of me as an eight-year-old child?"
He paused, "I almost forgot, your last name is not Cao. After so many years, have you forgotten your real last name?"
Upon hearing this, Cao Mingyuan looked at him with eyes that almost threatened to kill him. His chest rose and fell rapidly and anxiously, and it took a long time for him to calm down. He squeezed out a voice from his throat, "It is right for the prince to blame me for causing such a situation, but the situation is critical now. If the prince does not take action, the county will be in danger."
Chu Yu sneered, "Why should I take action?"
Cao Mingyuan suppressed his emotions and said, "Prosperity and adversity are shared by all. Your Highness must understand this principle. If the enemy finds out that you are here, will they still believe that you are innocent?"
"They won't believe it! Wei Wuniang won't believe it either!" Cao Mingyuan glanced at the box he placed on the table, feeling very disappointed. "If the prince knew the whereabouts of Wei Wuniang and the origins of those weapons, he should have told us instead of waiting for the county to be annihilated by the enemy and then sitting here watching the joke!"
The little black ball was used in Yizhou, Zhongshan State, and to clear the zombie tide.
Cao Mingyuan had received news before, but he was too conceited and had not seen it with his own eyes. He just thought that those idiots were making excuses for their own failures and deliberately exaggerating its power.
Who wouldn’t be envious of a divine weapon that can cause earthquakes and tremors?
If the Ten Directions Sect also had such weapons, why would they need to rely on meteorites to create chaos and lead to the current situation?
He was quite wary of Chu Yu and subconsciously believed that it was related to Chu Yu. Unfortunately, the Shifang Sect could not do without the prince, so he could not touch him.
Another thought popped up in Cao Mingyuan's mind.
It would be nice if the prince had a child.
Now that this matter is over, we must force them to get married no matter what.
Chu Yu slowly stood up and said, "You're right, it's time to take action."
Cao Mingyuan was in a daze for a moment, and caught a glimpse of the prince walking out of the room and heading towards the study.
