Chapter 9 Encirclement of Central Plains City
Author: Peng Peng Peng can fly
When Cui Ning was having a secret conversation with the leader of Jindao Village, the six cities in the Western Regions leading to the last great pass of the Imperial City - Zhongyuan Pass, were about to usher in a beast from the Western Regions that had been prepared for decades tonight.
Longli Town is a small town built on the Ice and Snow City.
This is the general headquarters where King Cui launched the Zhongyuan Pass siege. Now sitting here is King Cui Xiong of Zhenxi and his counselor Zhang Yu. However, Cui Xiong and Zhang Yu are playing Go at this moment.
"Your Majesty, it's already dark. Look at the time, the masters led by General Mo Xun will launch the first wave of attacks." Zhang Yu, who was dressed as a scholar, looked at the night and said to Cui Xiong with a smile. The fan in his hand was still
Shake gently.
Cui Xiong gently took a white chess piece and placed it on the chessboard, then said calmly: "This first wave of attacks is just an appetizer. I have prepared four waves of such appetizers in total."
A smile appeared on Zhang Yu's face. Although Cui Xiong's face was very calm, he still dared to predict that the prince was definitely not at peace at the moment, because the prince made a wrong move just now.
Judging from the experience of Zhang Yu and King Cui playing chess frequently, the prince would never make this kind of mistake under normal circumstances.
calm?
How can Choi Woong be calm?
The eldest son and his entire family were executed on the street in the imperial city, and the Cui family had been preparing for decades, and interest would be collected on the Wei family tonight.
Surrounding Zhongyuan City and then taking it will open the door to Wei's Imperial City. The great hatred and ambition are about to be realized. At this moment, Cui Xiong cannot calm down even if he is the reincarnation of a god.
Since King Cui's West-Suppressing Army quickly assembled two years ago and took the title of "overthrowing Emperor Wei", four of the six major cities in the Western Regions actively responded to King Cui's call and changed their banners, and then the city guards in the four cities cooperated.
With 200,000 troops to suppress the Western Region, they began to attack the remaining two cities in the Western Region that were still loyal to the Wei royal family.
In two years, Cui's banner attacked the city and captured the last two cities in the Western Region. At this point, the entire Western Region fell into the hands of King Zhenxi.
As for the royal Wei family, they initially made a high-sounding announcement to the world that Cui Xiong had been deceived by his subordinates. As long as he surrendered and confessed, he could forget the blame.
However, under the Cui family's successive offensives, the royal family Wei family could not sit still. They were so angry that they executed Cui Xiong's eldest son and a group of relatives in the street. At the same time, he declared Cui family a traitor to the imperial court and demanded that everyone from all over the world punish him.
After Cui Xiong completely stabilized the management of the Western Region, he turned his attention to the "Zhongyuan Pass", the only pass from the Western Region to the imperial city.
Zhongyuan Pass is actually not the name of one city gate, but the collective name of four city gates, each of which has several acropolis.
In the past, the Wei family established the Great Lie Dynasty and assigned four guardian kings to the four extremes of the territory. In order to prevent these self-respecting princes from coveting the position of the lord of the dynasty one day in the future, they established the four regions leading to the Central Plains Imperial City.
A Zhongyuan City was built on each avenue.
In addition, most of the city lords in various regions were close followers of the Wei family, and the dynasty used this to firmly control the entire Dalie Dynasty.
As the saying goes, wealth cannot last more than three generations. The following generations of emperors in the Great Lie Dynasty also became increasingly ignorant, and they could only survive by relying on the legacy of their ancestors.
Suppressing dissidents and harming virtuous people, King Cui's father was imprisoned and killed during these turmoils, and the dynasty's dominance over the entire territory was not as good as before.
...
The sky is gradually getting dark, and the current security of Xilan Acropolis is still quite tight. After all, the generals guarding the city also know that the Cui family may attack in the next few days, and the city gates have long been closed, prohibiting people from entering or exiting.
Xilan Acropolis is just an acropolis. Although it is heavily defended, it only has more than 10,000 people. In the eyes of the Wei generals, it only serves as a warning. After all, the beheading operation launched by King Cui makes the Wei generals still have heart palpitations to this day.
Endless.
"The city gate is closed. You have to wait until tomorrow to leave the city!"
The guard at the gate of Xilan City shouted immediately when he saw a few people approaching.
"Master Jun, the villain's child is seriously ill. The doctor in the city said that he must rush to the main city overnight for treatment. Could you please Mr. Jun to be accommodating?"
A man and a young man dressed as a scholar walked to the city gate guard and begged. At the same time, they took out a money bag. When the money bag was opened, there were several large gold bars inside.
In the dark night, the light emitted by several large gold bars under the lights made these guards stunned for a while.
suddenly--
Swift figures holding bloody swords rushed out of a small forest outside Xilan City. The guards of Xilan City on the city wall never thought that there would be so many people hiding in the woods. After all, that little
The woods don't look big at all.
The soldiers in armor were extremely fast, and the aura emanating from their bodies showed that each of them was an acquired master. Seeing the speed of these soldiers, the soldiers on the tower turned pale. They did not expect that the attack would happen tonight.
.
"There's an enemy attack, there's an enemy attack!!!"
Immediately there was a shout from the city wall.
"Get out of here!" The guard leader at the city gate also heard the cry. Although he was panicked, he still grabbed the gold bar and pushed the scholar, obviously taking advantage of the chaos to seize the windfall.
But the scholar's body remained motionless, and then a bright light came on, and the guard leader was seen directly covering his neck and falling down.
The big man and the scholar did not stop to look at their results, but instead attacked the other guards. In an instant, all the guards at the city gate were killed.
This big man and scholar were already settled in Xilan City before King Cui raised his army, and they were both innate masters. It was not easy to kill dozens of ordinary soldiers with a sneak attack.
The city gate was now wide open.
"Close the door, close the city gate quickly!"
The panicked generals on the city wall immediately roared, but no one at the city gate could respond to them.
"Go ahead"
With the city gates wide open, the three thousand Zhenxi Army cooperated with several innate masters to attack the Xilan Acropolis with thunderous force.
"call out!"
As the city lord's palace, guard barracks, weapons depots, granaries and other important buildings were captured, Cui's general Mo Xun gave an order, and a loud arrow immediately shot into the sky. This was a signal that the city had been successfully breached as agreed in advance.
The same situation was happening in the other three acropolis. Following the strategy of King Cui and his advisers, Mo Xun and other generals used the innate secret masters in the acropolis to cooperate with thousands of hidden army masters to successfully break open the city gate.
.
In this way, the four acropolis of Zhongyuan City were all pulled out by King Cui's army, and King Cui's army formed an encirclement of Zhongyuan City.
One night, just one night.
Four acropolis were lost, and the defenders of the Wei royal family suddenly lost more than 40,000 people. The important thing is that Zhongyuan City seemed to have become a turtle in a urn.
After capturing the four acropolis, Cui Xiong followed the advice of his counselor Zhang Yu and did not rush to attack. Instead, he sent troops to each acropolis one after another. As soon as the troops and masters arrived, the day of the battle would begin.

"Snapped!"
A palm hit the table directly, causing the table to dent in an instant.
"This is too much of a deception. Why does the old Emperor Wei Zu let us guard Zhongyuan City? I would rather go back to Beiyuan and be free."
In the palace of the city lord of Zhongyuan City, a bald man said angrily. This man's name was Zhao Kang, a late-stage innate master, and one of the masters under Zhenbei Wang Weiyuan. At this time, he was like an angry lion, his blood-red eyes wide open.
s eyes.
It turns out that we just received an express message from the Imperial City today, asking Wei Yuan, the current supreme leader of Zhongyuan City, to defend Zhongyuan City to the death for ten days. After the royal family has mobilized the army, they can come to rescue the siege crisis.
"Xiao Zhao, you are still so easy to get angry."
Wei Yuan sat upright on the main seat, took a sip of tea, and then spoke unhurriedly.
"Although Cui's army is said to number 600,000, the six cities in the Western Region need to be guarded, and troops in the Western Desert must be arranged to prevent foreign enemies from entering. At the moment, they can mobilize up to 300,000 troops to attack us."
Wei Yuan touched the scar on his hand, "We still have an army of 150,000 in Zhongyuan City, and our energy consumption exceeds theirs, but the mysterious Grand Master is the most feared."
Wei Yuan's concerns were reasonable. Although he was also a Grand Master, he was attacked by a mysterious female Grand Master when he was preparing to set off in Beiyuan. The two sides fought for many days, and were finally injured by the thunderbird.
"Beast, if you dare to come here, I will roast you."
Wei Yuan turned to his subordinates and said:
"You just have to defend the city. If you encounter a master, call for help immediately. We will guard him for ten days."
"As you command!"
