Chapter 630 Rebellion

The human tribe has three high cities, two of which were built with the help of the Alliance.

The two built with the help of the Alliance are Xiliang City in the extreme west and Wangcheng in the core of the human tribe.

Helping to build Xiliang City is for the purpose of defending against the God Mountain in the future, and helping to build Wangcheng is to help the human king defend the four directions.

The third city, which was not built with the help of the Alliance but was built entirely by the human tribe itself, is Dongwang City.

Dongwang City was built with great fanfare, and the purpose of building high walls was naturally to defend against the powerful alliance in the east.

When they were building it, General Wolf proposed a surprise attack, but the human tribe was in chaos at the time, and it was difficult for the human king to control it. Shao considered not to cause trouble for the human king, so he allowed it to be built.

Shao also got the support of Li in this matter.

Li did this in order to provide the Alliance with a strong enough enemy to train the army in siege tactics.

In Li's view, this Western Expedition was also a war to train the army.

"Marshal, General Wolf sent a military report. Looking eastward under the city, there are indeed no trees."

The lieutenant general of the army, General Xingchen, stepped forward and bowed to Li who was sitting high in the tent.

Li nodded and was not surprised.

Most of the nobles of the human tribe studied abroad in the Alliance, and some simple military courses were also taught in the academy.

"Order, the left and right armies will expand outward to protect the central army. The soldiers of the central army will cut wood on the spot and bring it to Dongwang City to use as ladders."

As the order was passed down, people below naturally became busy, and then he walked out of the tent and checked the camp and the surrounding areas.

Most of the checks he made were to verify whether the map in his hand was accurate enough to judge whether the map in his hand was credible.

He did not survive such comparisons for a month. At present, it seems that 90% of the map is still credible, especially the mountains and rivers, which are almost error-free.

The errors are mainly concentrated in the swamps.

Last summer, the grassland was also flooded, so the swamps were serious. Now it is the end of winter, the ice has begun to thaw, and many swamps have been exposed.

Many records about the swamps on the map are not accurate.

There is no other way. Most of the explorers look far and wide and record the terrain everywhere.

If they want to explore all the swamps, they have to walk through them all in person on the grassland. Even a god like Ganymede would take several years to do this, let alone mortals like them.

In the next few days, the movement speed of the central army slowed down, and they would stop from time to time on the road to chop trees and move forward.

But even with the slow speed, they arrived at the foot of Dongwang City in three to five days.

And when the central army arrived, the front army and the left and right armies also gathered here.

"Has the human king's team not arrived yet?"

asked General Yin, who was in charge of communications.

Leaving the alliance, the Wuwu machine is not very useful, and one can only use the worship method of the eighth generation witch and communicate through the worship totem.

"It will be one day at the fastest and three days at the slowest."

General Chun replied hurriedly.

As the army marched for a long time, the majesty of Li became more and more solemn, even more solemn than that of the alliance witch and the leader.

This is the difference between general power and political power.

The army is isolated and outside, and all matters must be finalized by Li. The life and death of all people are also decided by Li. Over time, the majesty is naturally solemn.

Li nodded and said nothing, but his brows wrinkled.

According to the established plan, the Human King Army should arrive ten days earlier than the Alliance Army to attack the city, but now the Alliance Army has arrived first.

During this period, there must have been some changes, but there was no reason from that side, and Li had been keeping it to himself and not asking.

Since the other party did not take the initiative to say it, this matter must be far-reaching.

Before he set out, Mang told him that the health of the Human King seemed to be not very good, and perhaps this change was caused by this, but there was no confirmed news for a while.

There was no news from Mang either.

Before, Li had never understood what Taichu meant when he said that the army was outside and information was the most important, but now he understood.

All changes require information answers. Once there is no answer, the commander will have doubts.

The longer the time, the greater the doubts and the greater the pressure. In the end, it is very likely that the general will lose his footing before the enemy attacks.

But fortunately, the Western Expedition was still under control. After all, in terms of the quality of soldiers, the alliance had a huge advantage.

"Ask the King what happened to him."

Finally, he decided to ask proactively, and could not wait until they met.

"Yes."

General Chun immediately went to ask, and he also met with the three generals who led their troops alone in the big tent.

"Are there any military reports worth hearing?"

He asked a few people to sit down, and then scanned the three people and asked.

"Our army just saw that the enemy has a team of cavalry outside, about a thousand people." The

one who spoke was General Da Ri who led the left army. They were famous for their good eyesight.

"Then send more wolf riders out to investigate. These 1,000 are definitely not all."

He pointed at the wolf general and said, "You send the people."

"Yes."

The wolf general immediately bowed and waved to the military officer behind him, and the man went out to make arrangements.

The wolf general was referring to the wolf riders of his wolf tribe.

The wolf riders came and went like the wind, and they were always accompanied by good luck. Moreover, they could escape into the netherworld at a critical moment. They were indeed good spies.

"Any other military reports?"

Li asked again.

This time everyone shook their heads, apparently they hadn't discovered anything else.

"Then let's go out and take a look."

Li led everyone out of the tent. The cloud tower next to him for observation had not been built yet, so he led everyone to the foot of Dongwang City.

Li stopped at a distance of an arrow, and the generals behind him also stopped.

At this time, the soldiers looking out from the three-meter-high city wall could be seen. Perhaps someone noticed them, and soon a voice came from above.

"Is it the marshal of the alliance under the city?"

A voice came from the city wall, but the person who spoke just poked his head out of the battlement and spoke, not daring to stand up.

He was carefully guarding against General Da Ri. After all, General Da Ri's archery skills were famous, and he didn't dare to put himself in danger.

Everyone looked at Li, but Li did not answer. He just pointed to the plaque above the city gate with the Alliance language written on it.

"After this city is built, the name of the city must be changed."

Li said in a relaxed tone.

Everyone was a little nervous at first, but after hearing what he said, they all smiled.

Dongwang City, this name is indeed not very nice, it seems a bit ambitious, but the ability of the people in this city is not worthy of such ambition.

"Marshal, why don't you answer my question?"

The man was still shouting, and Li frowned in dissatisfaction.

General Da Ri immediately bent his bow and put an arrow, with the tip of the arrow pointing to the battlement.

The man was also perceptive, and he lowered his head the moment General Da Ri picked up the bow and arrow, leaving General Da Ri with nothing to do but draw his bow without firing.

"The Taichu Alliance and the tribes have always been friendly. What they are doing today may be an unjust act. Aren't you afraid..."

The voice was still shouting, and General Wolf interrupted it in dissatisfaction.

"Hedong, if you say one more word, I will lead my troops to the city and destroy your city."

General Wolf recognized this man.

"Is this Hedong?"

He looked up curiously, but didn't see anyone.

"It is indeed him. I have encountered this person several times during hunting, and every time he has the intention of surrendering."

General Wolf answered with a bow.

His voice was not loud, and it was obvious that he had no intention of using this matter to target Hedong or to plot something.

He shook his head and said, "This kind of person cannot be the city lord in the alliance."

General Wolf nodded with a smile. This kind of soft guy naturally cannot be the city lord.

Although the wood witch respected the marshal, he was still neither humble nor arrogant in front of the marshal.

When the army was in Xi'an City, some soldiers caused several shameful things. The wood witch found the marshal and wanted to sentence these people according to the law.

The marshal wanted to see his ability, so he refused. The man argued with reason, but it was useless in the end.

But the wood witch sent people to watch the barracks, and when they found the opportunity for those people to come out, they were directly arrested, tried and imprisoned.

The marshal pretended to send someone to pick up the person, but this person knew that the jailer could not stop him, so he stood in front of the prison to stop him.

This move really made the Marshal praise him.

Compared with Mu Wu, the damn Lord of Dongwang City in front of him was really not worth mentioning.

"Have you been to this city wall?"

He looked at General Wolf and asked.

"That Hedong took me there once. The city wall is wide, with stone slabs on top, and the rammed earth below is also very solid."

General Wolf naturally knew what he meant and said it directly.

He nodded and said, "Then we can only attack by force. Let's make siege weapons first and wait for the Human King and others."

Everyone immediately accepted the order, and he took them back without checking other places.

After waiting for two days, the Human King's army of more than 10,000 people finally came to the foot of Dongwang City.

Just one look and you can tell that this army has been through a brutal battle.

"What's going on?"

He asked puzzledly as he welcomed the Human King into his tent.

"The grandson rebelled."

The Human King said with a bitter smile, but not much dissatisfaction.

"Did he really rebel?"

He was stunned and couldn't help asking.

"He really rebelled."

The Human King said with a sigh.

"I thought it would be your third son."

He shook his head.

Hearing what he said, it seems that the Human King had already predicted the rebellion of his child.

"I originally thought it would be the third son, but who would have thought that at the critical moment, he backed off. In the end, if it weren't for my grandson's fight, this rebellion would have almost failed."

The Human King said, his eyes fell on the food in front of him, and he didn't bother to talk about these things. He took a glass of wine and drank it first, and then started eating meat.

"Eat slowly, no one is competing with you."

I hate to see the Human King eating like this, and said with a wave.

The Human King just hummed and hawed, ignored him, and continued to eat and drink.

The food in the Alliance is much better than that in the human tribe. He has been to the Alliance several times in these years, and several times he couldn't resist the temptation of delicious food.

"Are you really going to die?"

Seeing that he couldn't control him, I stopped paying attention and asked the question that had been lingering in my mind for a long time.

The human king paused for a moment while holding the meat, then forcefully stuffed the meat into his mouth and nodded vigorously.

"Are you going to give the throne to your grandson?"

asked again.

"Give it to him, give it to him. One cannot survive in the world without being ruthless. My third son is still a little short of that. Haha."

The Human King mumbled with a mouthful of meat, and it was hard to understand what he said.
