Chapter 707 What to do?
In Black Stone City, while the immigration and redemption were being smoothly implemented, the follow-up troops headed by Zhou Xu had also completed their preparations and officially set out.
Previously, Yan Sheng’s large army, carrying supplies looted from the entire city, set out from Black Stone City. It took almost ten days to reach Xishan City.
Compared with Yan Sheng's efficiency which was like moving house, Zhou Xu's troops set out with very light equipment.
According to their speed, it would take about seven days to reach Xishan City from Black Stone City. Green Forest City was a little further away, but it would only take ten days, which was the same time it took Yan Sheng's large army to arrive at Xishan City.
Taking into account the transportation problems of that era, the distance between cities should best be controlled within ten days or half a month. If the distance is too far, if something really happens, you will not have time to mobilize troops.
From the perspective of development, internal resource mobilization, and wartime support, this layout is correct.
That is, once a problem occurs and the initiative falls into the hands of the enemy, this distance will allow the enemy to attack quickly.
At this moment, the troops led by Zhou Xu have already arrived at the outskirts of Green Forest City.
When they were still half a day's journey away from Green Forest City, three hundred cavalrymen had already arrived and joined them. They also confirmed that Liu De had not yet attacked Green Forest City.
Without any delay, the troops quickly advanced to the outskirts of Green Forest City.
On the wall, the defenders of Green Forest City naturally discovered their presence and immediately blew the horn to attack the enemy.
Hearing the noise, Long Xiaotian, with a face full of black beard, rushed to the top of the wall as fast as he could to check the situation outside the city.
"What flag is the other side flying?"
"Reporting to the General, this is a flag I have never seen before."
After getting this answer, Long Xiaotian frowned.
[Could it be that the rebels from Xishan City are attacking? ]
Obviously, Long Xiaotian didn't know about Yan Sheng's death at this moment. He just thought that the rebels in Xishan City were ignorant of the danger and dared to cause trouble for him.
Although Zhou Chongshan is following Zhou Xu now, the 300 cavalrymen under his command have not appeared. They are still hiding in the dark, waiting for the signal to take action.
From Long Xiaotian's perspective, the opposite side only had a few hundred soldiers, less than a thousand.
"With just this little force, you dare to attack my Green Forest City? Are you kidding me?!"
As he spoke, Long Xiaotian snorted with disdain, not taking the siege troops outside the city seriously at all.
At this moment, a figure wearing black armor and resembling a general rushed out of the city from the opposite position, pointing at Long Xiaotian on the wall and shouting...
"Listen up, cowards in the city! Come out and fight me if you have the guts!"
Zhou Chongshan, who was not familiar with the local custom of fighting generals, was shouting the lines that the king had prepared for him. He felt a little unsure at the moment.
Unexpectedly, just as he shouted this, a big man with a black beard on the wall started cursing at him...
"You rat down there, just wait for me! I'm coming to take your life!"
This country has a habit of fighting generals, and Long Xiaotian is also confident in his own strength. Now that Zhou Chongshan is blocking him outside the city and calling him a coward, how can he bear it? Soon, the city gate opened, and Long Xiaotian rode out of the city on a warhorse, holding a black iron mace.
"Die, you rat!!"
With an angry roar, he didn't waste any time talking to Zhou Chongshan. He rushed forward and swung the black iron mace at Zhou Chongshan's head.
Seeing this, Zhou Chongshan was not panicked. He pulled the reins in his hand and swept the crystal iron spear in his hand to directly dissolve the attack.
While the two sides were fighting, Zhou Xu, who was in the back, was not idle either. He directly opened the "Eye of Insight" on Long Xiaotian.
He originally wanted to open the "Eye of Peering into Secrets".
However, considering the strategic arrangement that even if he captured Green Forest City, he would have to go straight to Xianyang City afterwards, it would be better for him to preserve his true power as much as possible in case of emergency.
[Three stars in bravery and three stars in command. He is a little worse than Long Zhantian, but he is also an excellent talent who can fight and lead troops. ]
Just as Zhou Xu was thinking this, a scream was heard from a distance.
He saw that Long Xiaotian, who he had just rated as an "excellent talent" in his heart, had been shot dead by Zhou Chongshan! "Hongxu, this man under your command named Zhou Chongshan is quite skilled!"
Xie Liancheng covered his face with his wide robe and followed Zhou Xu in a mysterious manner. He watched Zhou Chongshan kill Long Xiaotian in just ten moves, with a strange look in his eyes.
Even though he did not take Long Xiaotian seriously, the fact that he could kill Long Xiaotian within ten moves was enough to prove his strength.
Thinking of this, Xie Liancheng became even more eager to fight, and he had the urge to have a fight with the other party.
And Zhou Xu was also quite proud.
"Chongshan is the most powerful general under my command."
Although Zhou Chongshan's bravery level is still at three stars at this moment, it is not difficult to see from the fact that he can kill Long Xiaotian, who is also at three stars, in just ten moves that his strength is probably close to the peak of three stars.
Hearing this, Xie Liancheng also laughed.
"You are quite strong, but you are still far behind me. I will be the number one warrior from now on!"
In response, Zhou Xu smiled and did not refute.
Of course, there is a gap in strength between Zhou Chongshan and Jie Liancheng. Jie Liancheng is the only powerful general he has seen so far with a strength of four stars, and he also has five-star potential. Once he grows up fully, he will basically be the ceiling of individual combat power!
Although Zhou Xu thought highly of Zhou Chongshan, he could not deny that with Jie Liancheng around, he could no longer maintain his position as the top general.
While the two were talking, the Green Forest City defenders were completely thrown into disarray because their general was shot dead.
But he did not forget to close the city gate.
Looking at the tightly closed city gate in the distance, Zhou Xu did not react much, but just waved his hand casually.
After receiving the instructions, the crossbow troops quickly set up four three-bow crossbows and adjusted the attack angle.
The next second, the enchanted crossbow arrows shot out quickly, accompanied by a series of terrifying roars. Under the almost dull gaze of Bai Tu and the others, the gate of Green Forest City was completely blown apart!
At the same time, the three hundred cavalrymen lurking on the periphery quickly rushed into the battlefield.
They had already begun to approach when the crossbow troops launched their action, but at that time the opposite side was in chaos because of Long Xiaotian's death, and no one noticed them.
The loud noise from the enchanted crossbows hitting the gate of Green Forest City was their signal to charge! Three hundred cavalrymen cut in from the flank, and after joining Zhou Chongshan, they burst into Green Forest City at a rapid speed, crushing the remains of the gate with their iron hooves and rushing into the city.
"The will to break through the enemy lines!"
“There is death and no life!!!”
