The Sage of Confucianism and Taoism

Chapter 1573 Gou Bao’s cunning plan

The breeze came slowly, and the fourteen literary armies who had rested for the day once again lined up in neat lines, climbed the walls of the two boundary mountains, and stood behind thirteen city sections.

Different from the first time when they climbed the city wall, the faces of every Pearl River Army soldier were full of confidence and calmness. Even though the stench of blood filled their noses and even spread to their entire bodies, not a single soldier vomited or even frowned.

Because, in their memories, Jieshan City Wall is a place of blood and fire, but also a place of victory and glory.

Fang Yun looked around and found that there were several soldiers from the literary army who were opposite to the Pearl River Army. Their faces were full of uneasiness.

Today, the Wenjie Army still has fourteen armies, but the two armies of Yan State have been combined into one to defend one city section.

Fang Yun took a silent look and saw that this was the case for all the armies of the two realms mountains that had previously ascended the city. First, the two armies of one country were combined into one army, then the remaining soldiers from the two countries were combined into one army, and finally all the soldiers from the seven countries were combined into one army. .

Then, Fang Yun looked at the rear of the Zhujiang Army.

A total of twenty brand-new crossbow-type mechanisms stand on the track of the city wall, ten of which are "Light Iron Poison Arrow Crossbow", and ten of which are "Ox Head Collision Horn Crossbow", plus one in Fortune's hand. A great Confucian pen has spent all the military achievements these days.

Part of the reason why the Pearl River Army is so high-spirited today comes from these twenty agencies.

After the other literary armies, there are also some mechanisms that each military has exchanged for their military merits, but there is not a light iron poison arrow crossbow or a bull-headed horn crossbow. They are all second-class mechanisms that can pose a threat to the demon prince and have no effect on the demon king. Not big.

The other generals of the Wenjie Army felt ashamed every time they saw these twenty mechanisms of the Pearl River Army, because the military merits of each of their armies were too few, and they could not exchange these two powerful mechanisms for the military merits of even one. All are insufficient.

The generals of the Qishan Army on the side looked at the twenty machines that were more dazzling than the sun. Their eyes turned green. Some generals even swallowed their saliva and wanted to rush forward and snatch the twenty machines.

At a critical moment, these twenty mechanisms can be regarded as twenty great bachelors. The presence or absence of these twenty mechanisms is almost the difference between life and death.

Just last night, the demon world had stopped the demon sea tactics. Hundreds of millions of demon barbarians were killed in battle, in exchange for the lives of millions of human troops. This was a major failure for the demon world.

Starting from this morning, the demon barbarians continued to use the normal siege method. All races mixed into the city, and everyone from the demon people to the demon princes cooperated freely. The demon king and the big demon king still sat in the rear, looking for suitable opportunities.

Time passes slowly.

Soldiers of the Literary Army continued to die.

Prince Jing of the Qishan Army returned to the literary world, and only two bachelors, Shang Wuhou and Gou Bao, were left in the army. When encountering a sudden large-scale attack by demons and barbarians, it was difficult for the two bachelors to fully take care of each other, causing the Qishan Army to continue to reduce its numbers. .

After another three days of fighting, the Qishan Army only had 90,000 soldiers left. During the break, the two armies from each country were combined into one. In this way, the Wenjie Army actually only had the armies of the Six Nations plus the Qishan Army and the Pearl River Army. , can only defend eight city walls.

The Wenjie Army rested for another day, and eight armies appeared under the Jieshan city wall for the third time, waiting for orders to ascend the city.

The numbers of the Pearl River Army and the armies of the Six Kingdoms both exceeded 100,000. The armies of Qin and Zhao even exceeded 200,000, but the Qishan Army only had 90,000 left.

The eight square formations are of different sizes, and the smallest one, Qishan Army, looks a little miserable.

Wang Li said loudly: "Master Gou, you once said before the war that you would compete with our Pearl River Army in military merit. What now? Our Pearl River Army's military merit has been ranked sixty-seventh! But our Pearl River Army is fully prepared and only fights Six days! Do you know what this means? It means that if we calculate the average contribution per day, our Pearl River Army has been ranked in the top five! The armies in front of our Pearl River Army have basically been fighting for more than a month!

Gou Bao seemed not to hear anything and looked straight at the city wall in front of him.

"Master Gou, you and my Marquis competed in military merit. We agreed that after three months, the winner would receive the flags of both armies, and the loser would donate all his family property to the Two Realms Mountains and provide it to the human race. Do you remember this? ? Could it be that the dignified scholar didn’t dare to answer?” Zhang Qingfeng asked.

Gou Bao snorted coldly and did not look at Zhang Qingfeng. He said, "Three months have not come yet. It would be too early for you to celebrate together."

"Before the Literary Army joined the war, Academician Gou claimed that the Pearl River Army would definitely lose. Compared with you, we are not too early." Zhang Qingfeng shot back.

"Stop talking nonsense, we will see the result in three months." Gou Bao said.

Wang Li asked: "I have something unclear. If the number of the Qishan Army drops sharply and is unable to participate in the defense, and withdraws from the Jieshan City Wall, will it be considered a failure of the Qishan Army, or the end of the matter?"

"How could I be so shameless? If any army is defeated and unable to defend the boundary mountain city wall, it will naturally be equivalent to early failure!" Gou Bao said.

"That's good! From the looks of it, we'll see the outcome in three days." Wang Li said.

Gou Bao smiled coldly and said nothing.

Fang Yun glanced at Gou Bao, a suspicion flashing in his eyes.

Gou Bao was not as expressive as the deceased Lumen Marquis, and his self-cultivation was not very high. However, at this time, everyone knew that the Qishan Army's 90,000 troops could not last three days, and Gou Bao still remained the same. The dead duck has a tough mouth, which shows that he has found support.

"What trump card does he have? Could it be..."

Not long after, the Liangjieshan Military Department issued an order, and eight armies scaled the Jieshan city wall for the third time to defend eight sections of the city.

The battle on the boundary mountain city wall was still extremely fierce. The eight armies had just changed their defenses and fell into a dark battle.

Fang Yun immediately wrote "Army March" and summoned ten thousand war poetry cavalry. Three powerful weapons were suspended in the sky, lying between the war poetry cavalry summoned by other generals and the soldiers of the Pearl River Army, as the last line of defense. Then Fang Yun Then he sat on the blue sky and continued to read and study.

In the battles of the past few days, Fang Yun had been fighting like this without fighting directly.

The battle lasted from morning to night, and the Pearl River Army had replaced it with a second army of 70,000 people.

Today, the Qishan Army lost 30,000 people, and now only over 60,000 people remain. These are the only more than 60,000 people left in the Qishan Army. They cannot rest and cannot wait for reinforcements, so they can only continue to fight.

While eating dry food, he fought.

Dinner time had just passed, and Xie Bingzhi hurried over to Fang Yun while passing a letter to Fang Yun.

"Master Fang, the State of Chu has sent new troops from the Qishan Army to assist. The command department has given the go-ahead. Those reinforcements are about to arrive at the Jieshan City Wall!"

Fang Yun was stunned and instantly understood that Gou Bao must have discussed with the King of Chu a long time ago. Once the Qishan Army was defeated by the Pearl River Army, the King of Chu would definitely send new reinforcements to continue to help the Qishan Army until it defeated the Pearl River Army.

"How many reinforcements are there?" Fang Yun asked.

"The number is very strange, there are only more than a hundred people." Xie Bingzhi was approaching, and his expression was extremely serious when he spoke.

Fang Yun frowned. If there were hundreds of thousands of reinforcements, it would be good news, but if there were only more than a hundred people, it would be bad news.

"It seems that you have also guessed that the academic degrees of the more than 100 people will be very high, and there will be no less than three bachelors." Xie Bing knew.

Fang Yun nodded without saying a word.
