Upon hearing this, Xuan Ci smiled bitterly, clasped his hands together, and began chanting Buddhist mantras.
"Amitabha!"
"Please calm down, Benefactor Murong. We are all trying to defend the city, so it is normal to have different opinions."
"Let's just do our own jobs!"
Hearing Xuan Ci's words, Murong Fu was even more furious, but he didn't show it.
Qiao Feng glanced at Murong Fu, his lips parted slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but he swallowed the words back down.
Moreover, he always felt that Wang Yang's previous arrangement seemed to have its reasons.
Just as Qiao Feng was pondering, Murong Fu suddenly looked at him.
“Vice Chief Qiao, since Wang Yang and the others are unwilling to contribute, we’ll have to rely on them.”
"We must be on high alert, as the Ming Dynasty's martial arts thieves might launch a sneak attack later."
Upon hearing what Murong Fu said, Qiao Feng glanced at himself and responded.
"Young Master Murong, Alliance Leader Wang and the others are not unwilling to contribute; they simply want to rest more."
"They traveled day and night to come and support us, so they really deserve to get some rest."
"Please do not misunderstand, Young Master Murong."
"As for our people, we should, as Young Master Murong said, be on high alert in case of any unforeseen circumstances."
Upon hearing this, Murong Fu glanced coldly at Qiao Feng, then without delay, he led his four retainers away.
Not long after, the Ming army, which had been driven back, launched another attack on the city.
Qiao Feng, Murong Fu, and others joined forces with the defending soldiers to drive back the attacking Ming soldiers once again.
What left Qiao Feng and the others feeling helpless was...
Not long after the Ming Dynasty soldiers were driven back, they would begin attacking the city again.
Moreover, during the siege, if they encounter even the slightest strong resistance, they will quickly retreat.
But it won't be long before they regroup and launch another attack.
Thus, Qiao Feng and his companions, along with the Song Dynasty's defending soldiers, were exhausted by the Ming Dynasty army.
Meanwhile, in the central command tent of the Ming army camp.
Zhu Di yawned and ordered his men to launch a continuous attack on Tahu City throughout the night.
Then he lay down and fell asleep.
Just as Wang Yang had guessed, Zhu Di's move was not really intended to attack the city.
Instead, they wanted to exhaust the martial arts masters and garrison soldiers of the Song Dynasty through constant harassment.
Meanwhile, the martial arts masters on their side were secretly gathering and conserving their strength!
They were just waiting for the right moment to strike with all their might, wiping out all the martial arts practitioners of the Song Dynasty with overwhelming force.
...
The next morning.
The Ming army continued to launch attacks on Tahu City.
Because of the large number of soldiers and generals, the Ming Dynasty always sent different generals and soldiers to attack the city each time.
After one group of people attacks the city and retreats, another group takes over, clearly a war of attrition.
Qiao Feng, Master Xuanci, Murong Fu, and others managed to defend the city.
But they were also greatly bothered, and everyone became listless and dispirited!
If these martial arts practitioners were in such a state, the soldiers guarding the city were even worse off, wishing they could just collapse and fall asleep.
"Boom!"
"Kill! Kill!"
Just then, the sounds of the Ming army attacking the city came from below the city tower.
Upon hearing this, Qiao Feng and the others were filled with bitterness and helplessness, and could only continue to resist.
And so, the Ming side's siege continued until noon.
At this time, Qiao Feng and his companions discovered that martial arts figures from the Ming Dynasty had begun to gather outside the city.
However, these martial arts practitioners did not participate in the siege; they seemed to be observing something.
At this moment, Wang Yang led Yang Xiao and the others to the city wall.
Last night, they also sent some people to help defend the city, but most of them were resting.
Upon seeing Wang Yang arrive, Qiao Feng, Abbot Xuanci, and the others quickly stepped forward to pay their respects.
"snort!"
Upon seeing Wang Yang, Murong Fu couldn't help but let out a cold snort and said mockingly:
"Alliance Leader Wang, have you all rested well? We've repelled countless waves of the Ming army, and you're only arriving now?"
Upon hearing what Murong Fu said, Wang Yang smiled calmly and said:
"Murong Fu, I think your brain really isn't working very well!"
Upon hearing Wang Yang's words, Murong Fu's expression immediately changed.
The four retainers behind him were all furious, glaring angrily at Wang Yang.
"Wang Yang! What did you say?"
"How dare you insult my young master?"
"Others may regard you as the leader of the martial arts world, but I, Feng Bo'e, will not submit to you!"
Feng Bo'e roared angrily, looking fierce and menacing, as if he wanted to jump out and compete with Wang Yang.
Upon seeing this, Yang Xiao and the others all glared at Murong Fu and his four retainers with hostility.
They naturally sided with Wang Yang.
Moreover, after arriving in Tahu City, Murong Fu and his retainers acted as if they were superior to others.
Yang Xiao and the others had long disliked them.
"Alliance Leader, should I teach them a lesson?"
"The Blue-Winged Bat King said in a deep voice, his hands itching a little," he said.
Wang Yang slapped the man across the face, knocking him to the ground.
"You'd better think carefully about your own worth. You're not qualified to fight me."
Murong Fu was shocked. Wang Yang's attack was very fast and powerful. He didn't even have time to stop him. He said angrily.
"Wang Yang, you dare to beat my retainer so casually, you completely disregard me. Today I'm going to teach you a lesson."
"Hmph, he's the one who provoked me. If you're not happy, come at me."
Seeing this, Qiao Feng and Xuan Ci hurriedly tried to dissuade them, urging them not to let the Song Dynasty descend into chaos first.
After calming down, Wang Yang continued.
"Haven't you all figured it out yet?"
“The Ming Dynasty has been attacking the city since last night, and each time it’s not just one group of people attacking.”
What is their intention in doing this?
As he spoke, Wang Yang glanced around and looked at Murong Fu and the others.
"this?"
Murong Fu was taken aback, and seemed to vaguely understand.
Seeing this, Wang Yang continued:
"Isn't the Ming Dynasty's relentless attack just an attempt to exhaust our defending soldiers and martial arts practitioners?"
"After all, they have a large army and many generals, and can continuously send different people to attack the city."
"Moreover, their martial arts practitioners did not participate in the siege; they were all preserving their strength."
"Just wait for them to give us a good beating from behind!"
After Wang Yang explained it this way, Qiao Feng and the others suddenly understood.
Upon hearing this, Murong Fu's face turned extremely ugly.
Now I finally understand why Wang Yang told everyone yesterday to rest when they needed to and not to be so tense.
"Damn it!"
As he pondered, Murong Fu couldn't help but question:
"Alliance Leader Wang, since you know all this, why didn't you tell us yesterday?"
"It's made our people so exhausted!"
Upon hearing this, Wang Yang gave a cold laugh and said:
"hehe!"
"Young Master Murong, you were so insistent yesterday, how could you possibly listen to what I said?"
"Besides, I can't be completely sure either!"
Murong Fu was taken aback and was speechless after what Wang Yang said.
He paused for a moment, took a deep breath, and then looked at Qiao Feng and Xuan Ci, changing the subject.
"Master Xuanci!"
"We can't just sit here and wait to die!"
"How about we gather a group of experts tonight and launch a surprise attack on the Ming army?"
As the saying goes, "He who strikes first gains the upper hand, and he who strikes last suffers the consequences!"
"We can't keep being harassed by the Ming army like this. We won't be able to hold out any longer!"
