martial arts general

Chapter 185 Dragon Mark City

Seeing these people, Zhao Jiuxiao was very happy: "General Luo, well done!"

Luo Wenyuan cupped his hands and said, "It's all ordered by General Zhao, and the last general dare not disobey."

Zhao Jiuxiao nodded: "Well done, General Luo, we are getting closer and closer to unifying the world. By then, there will be no more wars, and the prosperous age will come!"

Luo Wenyuan smiled, "We'll have to wait and see!"

Having said that, he changed the subject: "It would be great if my father could see it."

Luo Wenyuan's eyes were red, but he didn't say much.

Zhao Jiuxiao looked up at the sky: "If he has a spirit in the sky, he will definitely see it."

Luo Wenyuan nodded and fell into silence.

Gongsun Wuji was full of excitement, and put the map on the table: "General Zhao, please take a look."

As he spoke, he pointed to the two cities on the map: "If our army wants to occupy West India, we must first capture these two cities."

Zhao Jiuxiao took a closer look and found that the two cities were called Griffin City and Dragon Mark City.

He asked: "What is the mystery of these two cities?"

Gongsun Wuji: "General Zhao should have seen that the terrain of these two cities is not easy to defend and difficult to attack, they can be occupied, but if we want to attack them, we must take a long detour and replenish enough food and grass."

Zhao Jiuxiao: "The issue of food and grass is the key. I wonder what Young Master Gongsun has to say?"

Gongsun Wuji: "Of course there is, that is to build underground grain roads!"

Zhao Jiuxiao smiled and said: "Good idea, but the terrain here is complicated, can Gongsun Shaoxia figure it out?"

Gongsun Wuji was full of confidence: "General Zhao, don't forget that my favorite thing to study is astronomy and geography. These things will definitely not trouble me!"

Zhao Jiuxiao: "Okay, then I will leave it to you to dig the grain transportation road."

Gongsun Wuji cupped his hands and said: "General Zhao, please don't worry, it will be completed in half a month!"

Zhao Jiuxiao nodded: "Thank you Gongsun Shaoxia."

Immediately afterwards, he changed the topic: "By the way, while Gongsun Shaoxia is digging the grain road, it is best to carefully investigate the situation about Dragon Mark City and Griffin City, so that I can prepare to attack."

Gongsun Wuji: "Of course!"

At this moment, Sima You, who was sitting on the side, suddenly suggested: "General Zhao, if this attack occurs, the West Indian Kingdom will be furious and launch a large army to counterattack. Therefore, our army must also do a good job of defense while attacking." Prepare."

Zhao Jiuxiao: "That makes sense. I'll leave the matter of defense to General Hong."

As he spoke, he looked at Hong Taishan.

Hong Taishan said with a smile: "Don't worry, General Zhao, the last general can't do anything else, but he is best at setting up defenses."

Zhao Jiuxiao nodded: "That's good!"

In this way, after everyone discussed, they began to prepare.

Gongsun Wuji led a large number of soldiers to start digging tunnels.

Zhao Jiuxiao was also observing carefully from behind and did not dare to neglect.

The terrain leading to West India is very complicated, and the underground situation is also full of strange things.

There are many underground rivers and monsters.

But Gongsun Wuji knew things like a god, and he had already guessed the location of the other party.

He successfully avoided all dangers and dug a safe tunnel.

Half a month later, this tunnel directly led to the hinterland of West India, which could provide sufficient food and grass supply for the army to attack Dragon Mark City and Griffin City.

The first big problem was solved, and Zhao Jiuxiao was extremely happy.

But he quickly calmed down and prepared for his second move.

Zhao Jiuxiao led an army of 230 million and marched forward mightily.

Along the way, he also followed the route planned by Gongsun Wuji in advance, successfully avoiding the area heavily guarded by the Xiyin Kingdom, and came to camp outside two cities.

Here, he also allowed the soldiers to get enough food and grass.

The army quickly recovered and its morale was strong.

A few days later, Gongsun Wuji returned to the camp from the enemy's city.

Zhao Jiuxiao sat there, looked at the other party quietly, and said with a smile, "Gongsun Shaoxia, let's talk."

Gongsun Wuji raised his hands and said: "General Zhao, I have found out that the total number of defenders in the two cities is 180 million."

Zhao Jiuxiao opened his eyes wide: "That's really a lot."

Gongsun Wuji: "Each of their cities has 90 defenders, of which Griffin City has 40 knights, 40 griffin magicians, and [-] musketeers."

Zhao Jiuxiao opened his eyes wide: "40 griffin magicians? So strong."

Gongsun Wuji: "That's right, their guard is named Yokto. This man uses magic weapons and sits on a griffin himself, so he is very powerful in combat."

Zhao Jiuxiao: "What about Dragon Mark City?"

Gongsun Wuji: "Longwen City also has 90 people, including 40 musketeers, 40 knights, and [-] magicians."

Zhao Jiuxiao nodded: "It seems that Longwen City is better to attack."

Gongsun Wuji changed the subject: "However, Longwen City is protected by a moat. Once the two armies fight, they will raise the suspension bridge. Our army's tiger and leopard cavalry cannot cross the river, so we can only rely on the long-range firepower of artillerymen and crossbowmen. "

Zhao Jiuxiao: "This matter is indeed tricky, but it is not difficult to solve in my opinion. I can lead the martial arts masters to lower the suspension bridge and let the army break through the city gate."

Gongsun Wuji: "What General Zhao said is true!"

Zhao Jiuxiao: "Who is the guard of Dragon Pattern City?"

Gongsun Wuji; "His name is Naswell, he is a knight, wearing magic armor and holding a big sword. He has strong attack power and internal strength."

Zhao Jiuxiao took a deep breath: "Such a guy?"

Gongsun Wuji: "General Zhao, although Naswell is very capable personally, he doesn't like to use tactics very much. If our army attacks the city, it is very likely that he will stick to it."

Zhao Jiuxiao: "That would be great, I will fight him too."

Gongsun Wuji: "Good."

After the discussion, Zhao Jiuxiao began to arrange the battle plan.

Three days later, 230 million troops appeared near Dragon Mark City and surrounded the city.

The defenders of Dragon Mark City were not too flustered, and immediately put away the suspension bridge to guard against death.

Zhao Jiuxiao was not in a hurry to attack, but surrounded the enemy and cut off his supply line.

At the same time, he had artillerymen and crossbowmen firing from a distance, bombarding the enemy.

Cannonballs and sharp arrows hit one after another, shooting and killing many musketeers standing on it.

However, the defenders of Dragon Pattern City still did not leave the city to fight, and still defended.

They also told the musketeers to stand back and not be killed by cannonballs and arrows.

Zhao Jiuxiao also guessed the opponent's purpose, and wanted to consume his army to death by relying on food and grass issues.

But with the help of the underground grain road, he would not have any food problems at all.

Therefore, Zhao Jiuxiao's troops continued to besiege the city for more than half a month.

In the past half a month, subtle changes have also taken place in the defenders of Dragon Mark City.

At first they thought that the Tiansheng Kingdom's army would retreat soon, but they didn't expect it to last so long.

The morale of the army began to waver.
