The sixth day of the 12th month of the New Yu calendar

Yinling County, Chishui County

In the East City Gate Tower, Shen Gufan was wearing white clothes and looked out to the east.

Three middle-aged generals wearing strong and sharp legs were tall and straight, with a calm breath, and looked at the official road outside the city with a vigilant look, with a gaze as if it were torched.

The soldiers wearing armor and holding sharp blades were all around the city gate. Even if the qi and blood on their bodies were not activated, the occasional aura gathered together, and the momentum should not be underestimated.

"The head of the family, the time is almost the same. The young master should have led his troops to attack the capital."

The general on the left had a rough voice, which was quite consistent with his burly figure. Hearing his words, Chen Gufan did not turn around, but just said "um" softly and continued to stare at the east side.

Seeing this, the general on the right showed a little puzzled face and asked in a low voice: "Head of the family, all the 30,000 elite soldiers are placed here to guard against Hexi. After that, the Hou family has only been rising for five years, and its foundation is limited. With the help of Zhan Taiqing, he has occupied a piece of Hexi. He is no longer worthy of his position. He dares to attack us rashly. Isn't it seeking death?"

"The invincible lies in one's own victory, and the invincible lies in the enemy. Therefore, those who are good at fighting should first be invincible and wait for the enemy to win!"

After Chen Gufan read a sentence, he turned around and looked at the confused expressions of the two people behind him, and immediately sighed.

The Chen family has a 150,000 army of 50,000 elite troops, and the five elite troops are the top priority. The five people who commanded this elite are all the cultivation level of the third level master. Among them, Zhang Yu and Nie Cheng are his personal disciples, and the other three are the Chen clan members of his generation, namely the three people in front of him, Gu Zhen, Gu Kang and Gu Peng.

The master of the third realm, who commands an elite of ten thousand people, must have enough cultivation. However, the ability to fight wars and plan strategies is not very much related to cultivation. It has to be said that these three people in this family are still a little worse than his two disciples. This is why he sent the two men to follow his son to fight the city and keep these three people by his side.

After all, he is still his own family. Even if he doesn't work, he still has to rely on it. Chen Gufan quickly adjusted his mindset and spoke to the two of them:

"The key to whether to win or not is not my Chen family, but the enemy. If you want to make no problem with the battle in the city, you can only ensure two factors: one is that the Xiongyun Gang is not strong enough, and the other is that the Hou family does not unite with them to ensure these two points, I, Chen family, will be invincible. If you are not defeated, you will definitely win.

The Xiongyun Gang has been firmly in the first-class position in the city over the years. We basically know how many families there are. Without a barrier to protect the city, it is a delusion to rely on the 180,000 mixed fish to defend my Chen family's 120,000 army. Therefore, the first factor has been formed.

But the second point is something we cannot grasp. The Xiongyun Gang and the Hou family are alone, and I don’t take anyone seriously. Once these two families join forces, we will not be able to do so. Once the Hou family joins the war, our Chen family will be attacked from both sides. Therefore, this factor that cannot be grasped must be treated with caution. This is why, I will bring you to Chishui County."

"The head of the family means that no matter what the situation is, you can ensure victory. However, whether the Hou family participates in the war is still a mystery, so it is necessary to take it more seriously?"

Hearing the words of Chen Guzhen, the commander of the first battalion, Chen Gufan nodded with a hint of satisfaction in his eyes, but at this time, the commander of the second battalion, Chen Gukang, asked in confusion: "When the Hexi Prefecture was established, did the Hou promise not to participate in the dispute between us and the Xiongyun Gang?"

"The most valuable thing in this world is the promise that the Hou family will rise to become the Lord of Hexi in just four years. Although it has borrowed the east wind of the Rakshasa Holy Sect, it must not be underestimated. Be careless and you will suffer some losses. You are afraid that the family will be plagued. That would be bad..."

The family was doomed to no avail. This was already very serious. The three of them suddenly became solemn, and they nodded and said, "I will remember the words of the head of the family!"

"Of course, my Chen family has been rooted in the Sanling Land for thousands of years. The only Xiongyun Gang, the Hou family is not a strong opponent. As long as Hexi is slow for a moment, when good news comes from the city, it will be a matter of time before the four counties of Hexi fall into the hands of my Chen family. By then, the Chen family holds the two palaces, and it won't take long to take down Jianye Mansion, and the entire Xiayuan Dao will be ours!"

When the three of them heard Chen Gufan's words, their eyes suddenly became hot. A Taoist Lord was the standard of the earth-level major forces. If it was true as the head of the family said, the Chen family would have officially become one of the world's famous families.

"No, head of the family, if we really unify the lower Yuan Dao, will the Rakshasa Holy Sect ignore it? Even if they don't care, would the Linghai Demon Sect not care?"

Hearing Chen Yukang's inquiry, the other two nodded and looked at Chen Gufan.

The only earth-level force in the Xiayuan Dao was the Linghai Demon Sect. Now it is entrenched in the Xiayuan Dao City west of Jianye Prefecture. Although there has been no news, since the Rakshasa Holy Sect has left, as the only earth-level force in the Xiayuan Dao, how could the Linghai Demon Sect allow the Chen family to be in power?

However, Chen Gufan had no worries on his face, but he only showed a mysterious smile. He looked at the three of them and whispered: "Don't worry, the Spirit Sea Demon Sect can't control it, and he doesn't have the strength, so he cares about us!"

Linghai Demon Sect, no strength controls...

What does this mean?

The three of them had doubts in their eyes, but seeing that Chen Gufan was obviously unwilling to say more, he did not ask, but continued to turn his eyes to the official road to the west.

"Half an hour has passed, it's time for the scout to come back to report the news!"

As soon as Chen Gufan finished speaking, a horse galloped from the official road. Is there any movement in Hexi? Of course, it was not up to them to see with their naked eyes. As early as the day the army arrived in Chishui County, from the west of Chishui County to Hexi, countless Chen's scouts had been planted along the way, and every half an hour would send messages back, in order to find out the movements in Hexi so as not to prepare in advance.

"There is nothing abnormal along the official road!"

The news about the scout was still the same as before, and Chen Gufan breathed a sigh of relief.

"The outside world is rumored that Hou Yuxiao is resourceful. Now it seems that it is indeed a bit exaggerated. When the Holy Sect retreats and the Yuan Dao is competing for power, the Hou family defends a place in Hexi to ensure a temporary stability, which will only cause greater disasters. The five tigers of the Hou family, hum!"

Until now, there is no movement on the official road, and Chen Gufan can basically confirm that the Hou family does not intend to intervene in the dispute over the city. Although this is beneficial to the Chen family, he inevitably has more contempt for the Hou family.

"The despicable little tribe has just got some fortune. Hexi will be ours sooner or later!"

"Talk about the five tigers of the Hou family, it is also the nickname given to the five members of the Hou family. The five members have become famous for this period of time. I guess they don't know that the head of the family is numbing them."

"Hahahaha, the head of the family is indeed very clever..."

Chen Gufan showed a hint of pride on his face. Of course, the "Five Tigers of Houmen" was a high hat he wore for the five members of the Hou family. He did have the intention to paralyze the Hou family's nerves. Now it seems that it really worked. These five people might really think that they were afraid of them. They thought that as long as the Hou family did not intervene in the dispute over the city, Chen family would not touch Hexi. It was simply stupid!

……………………

In the dense forest west of the East City Gate, three figures were hidden behind the mottled leaves in the upper end of a big tree. The aura of the man in the center enveloped the left and right men and women. The conversation at the east gate of Chishui County was all heard in the ears of the three.

The burly man on the left couldn't help but sneer twice, and turned around to look at the man in the middle and laughed: "Brother, this Shen Gufan seems to be a little despised of you!"

"Hehe, it's still the fifth brother who is smart. Some time ago, the clan was strictly ordered to spread the saying that the five tigers of the Marquis were not allowed. It seems that he had long seen that Chen Gufan had a ill-hearted attitude."

Hearing the words of the second and third brothers, Hou Yuxiao shook his head slightly, looked at Chen Gufan and the four of them on the east gate, with a hint of stern light in his eyes, and said seriously:

"The invincible lies in one's own victory, and the invincible lies in the enemy. Therefore, those who are good at fighting should first wait for the invincible stance to win. Being able to say this sentence is enough to show that this Shen Gufan is not simple!"

When Hou Yucheng and Hou Yuling heard this, their expressions suddenly became much more serious.

Hou Yucheng nodded and said, "The city is clearly sure to win, and can still put 30,000 elite troops in Chishui County to guard us. Chen Gufan acts carefully and cautiously. No wonder Chen's family has been hiding in Jinling as a second-rate force for so many years. If it weren't for the evacuation of the Rakshasa Holy Sect and letting the Chen family develop secretly for a few years, it would have been possible that it would become a major concern for our Hou family!"

Hou Yuling nodded, looked moved, and asked softly: "Brother, Chen Gufan just said that the Spirit Sea Demon Sect cannot control it, and he has no strength to care about Chen's affairs. He should be referring to him, Chen, who has the support of Leiyin Temple?"

"It must be that the Linghai Demon Sect is a land-level force, the lord of Xiayuandao City. With the current strength of the Chen family, Chen Gufan's courage to say such words must be because of the support of Leiyin Temple. The 120,000 troops in Puning County can walk in the wilderness. I guess it is the Xuanjie Master's army of Leiyin Temple. However, Chen Gufan is really strict and has never given up in front of his family."

Hearing the conversation between the two, Hou Yuxiao looked at the many elite Chen clan standing on the walls of Chishui County, with a slightly flashing expression. There must be not many masters of Leiyin Temple in the Chen clan, otherwise there would be no need to be wary of Hexi. Mo Xuzi once said that there are too many monks in Leiyin Temple, and several batches will be divided into them from Jizhou south. This is the only opportunity he can use at present.

He only lowered his head and thought for a moment, and finally stared at Chen Gufan on the city gate tower deeply, turned his head and said, "If my Hou family's strength is really revealed to the outside world, these 30,000 elite soldiers are more than enough to guard us. No matter how smart he is, he has flattered Leiyin Temple. Chen Gufan is also far-sighted. Unfortunately, he missed the true strength of my Hou family, which is not as he thought!"

After saying this, Hou Yuxiao immediately pulled the second and third brothers and retreated to the east. Hou Yucheng and Hou Yuling had the cultivation of a heaven-level master, and could only rely on him to cover up to avoid Shen Gufan. After a long time, it would be bad if they exposed their feet.

"Brother, our 20,000 Chiyan Army is already on standby in the wilderness area fifteen miles east of Chishui County. It takes less than a stick of incense. The so-called elite Chen family, facing us, is a mantis arm, and is waiting for the chariot, and is there anything else to wait for? Strike the city directly?"

Hou Yucheng couldn't wait to ask for the battle, but did not receive a response from Hou Yuxiao. He shook his head and signaled Hou Yucheng to be calm and said slowly: "Don't be anxious. When you kill the enemy, you should look longer. Just Chen's family. We have stronger enemies. Calculate the time. The fourth and fifth brothers should have arrived in the city, right?"

"The speed of the 110,000 army is not as fast as ours, but they have been setting out for two days, and it's almost done. Brother, do you want to wait until the Xiongyun Gang and the other 120,000 army of the Chen family are almost done, and then take action, how can you do it once and for all?"

Hou Yuxiao shook his head, but did not say it clearly. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Wait for half a day, half a day should be enough to end the city. It will be too slow to wait for Lao Wu to send news back. After another six hours, Zi Shi is in, attacking the city!"

As he finished speaking, a continuous stream of red appeared in front of Hou Yuxiao and the other two. There were more than 20,000 elite soldiers riding black war horses, wearing fiery red armor and holding fine sharp blades. They all had solemn faces, filled with qi and blood, and their cultivation was as low as ten levels. When they were connected, they were like a sea of ​​fire in the wilderness.

As it turns out, even if so many elite soldiers gather together, they will be as bright as the lights in the dark night. But what is strange is that the wild creatures around the 20,000 troops are like they cannot be seen at all. Only by accidentally breaking into the middle of the army can you feel the suffocating pressure of qi and blood.

Hou Yuxiao looked inside his sea of ​​consciousness, looked at the karma value that was constantly consumed on the gold page of merit, and a hint of satisfaction appeared in his eyes.

At this pace, as long as there is war, the karma value should not be afraid of high.

………………………………………

Xingnan Prefecture City, West Gate.

Noon

"Kill..."

"Push up to me. Whoever dares to escape? I will definitely kill you."

"Break the city and kill the group of kids from Guangxiongyun Gang!"

"The two counties of Jiufallow and Yuzhao have been destroyed. As long as the capital is captured and the entire Xingnan area will be all under my command. The brothers will work harder, and they can't stand it."

"Run..."

"The crossbow arrows are all greetings, and the first one to stand on the city wall will be rewarded with a thousand taels!"

"What kind of mansion is first-class? The Xiongyun Gang is simply vulnerable, hahaha!"

…………………

The sound of storm of the sky had already drowned out the East Gate, and countless soldiers were already entangled under the broken city gate.

It is not entirely true that it is said to be the most primitive killing, because the soldiers on both sides of the city guarding and siege are all performing various martial arts; but it is not right to say that the warriors are in a battle, because the range of the fight is too large and the number of people is too large. If you don’t stare at one or two of them and look at the whole from a distance, it will be a chaotic melee.

Having said that, judging from the broken city gates and the roars of soldiers on the battlefield, the siege party obviously had some advantage. If you look carefully, you will find that the soldiers on the siege party, whether they are on their armor or the weapons in their hands, are more than those on the defending city side, and even their attack rhythm is consistent. Obviously, the military discipline and quality are stronger than the defending city side.

With the overlap of the three, many people could almost see signs of defeat on the side of the city guarding the city, and some soldiers guarding the city had even begun to escape to the flanks and the city. This was not a good sign.

"Second brother, the 100,000 troops of Chen are much stronger than us and cannot stand up. Let's join forces to capture Chen Haneda first, and maybe we can stop the decline!"

Wanren Peak killed at least dozens of people in a row before stopping the spread of soldiers' escape. Hearing the words of his third brother Wanren Mountain, he turned to look at the five or six people riding on the war horses, especially the young man in the middle, and a hint of coldness suddenly appeared in his eyes.

A master of Yuandan First Realm, two Heavenly Masters, two Grand Masters of the Third Realm Yuanqi Stage, and the last one Shen Haneda, only the cultivation level of a Second Realm Master. He and the third brother have indeed hope, but the problem is that if they cannot take Shen Haneda in a short period of time, the city gate will inevitably be lost. If the city is broken, it will be irreversible.

"The east gate has been broken, and the Chen family's 20,000 elite troops have entered the city. The gang leader urgently needs support!"

As hesitated, a sound suddenly came from the east, which made Wanren Peak's already chaotic mood twitch again, pulling Lao Sanwanren Mountain, and did not dare to hesitate anymore, and rushed directly to the rear of the Chen army.
Chapter completed!
