Chapter 976 Encirclement and Annihilation War

"This, this, this..."

After receiving the massive messages in the jade slips, Mu Yunzi's heart was filled with turmoil.

How did Master Taibai obtain such detailed information? Who is he?

"How? Is the city lord confident that he can win this battle?" Yang Tianyou put on an inscrutable smile.

Master Muyun came back to his senses, his expression more serious than ever before, "This matter is of great importance. How can fellow Taoist Taibai guarantee that this information is true?"

"I can make a causal oath or sign a contract." Yang Tianyou replied without hesitation.

"Oh?" Mu Yunzi narrowed his eyes, "Then how can you guarantee that you are not a dead soldier of Zhao State? You want to lure me into taking the bait."

"Lord City Lord, I am an ascended monk. I have only been promoted for more than a hundred years. I have never even been to the Kingdom of Zhao. How can I become their dead warrior?" Yang Tianyou looked at Mu Yunzi with a strange look.

"Besides, if you don't believe in the authenticity of the information, you can test it on the battlefield. However, I want to remind you that the situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly. Over time, the usefulness of this information will be greatly reduced. I don't have the ability to get you another one. piece of information."

After hearing this, Mu Yunzi's expression changed. After a long time, he took out the jade slip and sent out one message after another.

Yang Tianyou knew that this was to verify the authenticity of the information. There was no need to verify all of the information. As long as part of it was correct, Mu Yunzi would most likely believe him.

Yang Tianyou took the time to get to know this city lord. He was not a cautious person. He was quite adventurous at heart and acted decisively.

Time passed like this bit by bit. When the sun set in the west, Mu Yunzi put away all the jade slips, took a deep breath, nodded slightly to Yang Tianyou, and then said loudly: "Here, get ready. War meeting!”

……

At the same time, Ji Chengwu, who returned from the Dragon Palace, returned to his post.

Ji Chengzong ran over excitedly and asked: "Brother, how are you? Has the old Dragon King promised us an alliance?"

Ji Chengwu shook his head and sighed: "It's still the same rhetoric, but fortunately, I got a lot of supplies from him this time."

"Hmph, this old loach is so shameless. I think once we defeat Zhao Guo, we will take him down and support an obedient Dragon King." Ji Chengzong shouted.

"Things are not as simple as you think. The Jiaolong clan has a profound background and has a deep friendship with the Tianshui Li family. Ao Bing is also married to Li Shentong's third daughter. If we want to get rid of him, Li Shentong will not be able to pass this test! "Ji Chengwu rubbed his eyebrows. The Emperor Zhou Dynasty said that the world belongs to the Ji family, but it has always been spread among the people that Li and Ji share the world, and Li is still in front of Ji.

Among them, the other two imperial dynasties may be up to something and want to drive a wedge between the two families. However, if there is no real evidence, how can it be groundless? The strength of the Tianshui Li family is evident.

"Humph, Li Shentong!" Ji Chengzong stamped his feet fiercely, he was very dissatisfied with this current Grand Master.

"By the way, brother, Li Shentong has returned to the temple a few days ago. Now the military power is completely under your control. Then our previous plan..." Ji Chengzong rubbed his hands with excitement in his eyes. The generals of the Zhou Dynasty were planning to break Jiangbei City. What I thought about at night, but due to various reasons, it has only been successful once since the founding of the People's Republic of China. It was also quickly abandoned because of too many casualties. But even so, the general who led the army became the most famous person in the Zhou Dynasty. One of the generals.

If Ji Chengwu could accomplish such a feat again, taking control of the military would be a matter of convenience.

Thinking of this, a fiery color flashed in Ji Chengwu's eyes. He turned to look at his younger brother and said, "Notify the generals to raise the account!"

When the generals gathered, Ji Chengwu looked around at everyone and said, "The Zhao thieves invaded our borders, killed our people in the Zhou Dynasty, and plundered resources. It is really hateful."

"The enemy can go, so can I. I have decided to personally lead the army to conquer Jiangbei City!!"

After the words fell, the generals looked at each other, and finally focused their attention on Wen Qun.

Seeing this scene, a cold light flashed in the depths of Ji Chengwu's pupils. Sure enough, in the eyes of these generals, his status was not as high as that of Wen Qun.

But he was very deep in the city and did not show any dissatisfaction. Instead, he smiled and said, "General Wen, what do you think?"

"Grand Marshal, please forgive me for speaking bluntly. Jiangbei City is impregnable and easy to defend but difficult to attack. Moreover, the Zhao bandit and Chen Bing border area have nearly twice as many troops as our Zhou Dynasty. There is such a huge gap in strength between the enemy and us. It is really not a good opportunity to attack Jiangbei City. .If we lose in front of Jiangbei City and Zhao Jun takes advantage of the victory to pursue and attack Fushan City, I, the Zhou Dynasty, will be in an absolutely passive position. Please think twice, Generalissimo!!"

Wen Qun was helpless. You are a great marshal. Why do you feel uncomfortable going to Jiangbei City?

The generals of the Great Zhou Dynasty are mostly good at defense but not good at offense. Besides, what's the point of taking Jiangbei City? Can we hold on?

At present, the gap in national power between Zhou Dynasty and Zhao Kingdom has become wider and wider, and the defense is still barely adequate. If we insist on attacking, isn't that asking for death?

But facing the powerful Generalissimo, Li Qun, who was not from a high family and had no background, could only persuade him with good words and a very low posture. He did not dare to point his finger at Ji Chengwu's nose and scold him like Li Shentong did.

"General, what you said is wrong. Although our army in Zhou Dynasty is small in number, its morale is high, and with an outstanding person like General Wen commanding it, we will definitely be able to defeat the enemy. Besides, I have my own way to break through Jiangbei City's defense formation."

Ji Chengwu seemed very confident, but Wen Qun was helpless and wanted to continue persuading him. However, Ji Chengwu waved his sleeves and started the appointment.

"Order, Wen Qun is the commander-in-chief of the right route army and goes out of Huangzhong Mountain to attack Bianqingcheng..."

"Order, Ji Chengzong will be the commander-in-chief of the left army and cross the river to capture Xilin City..."

"I will lead the army in the middle and attack Jiangbei."

"Gentlemen, the military situation is urgent. Go down and prepare now. In the early morning tomorrow, the army will set off on time. Anyone who delays the military flight will be killed!!"

"We will obey the order of the Generalissimo!!" The generals had no choice but to twist their thighs with their arms, so they had no choice but to obey and go down to prepare.

When Wen Qun walked out of the hall, he felt the biting cold wind and felt sad: "Great Zhou..."

……

In Jinchi City, after Mu Yunzi found out the authenticity of the intelligence, he began to mobilize his troops.

He is well aware that the battlefield situation is constantly changing, fighter opportunities are fleeting, and the value of intelligence will gradually diminish over time.

Mu Yunzi is highly respected in Jinchi City and has the highest level of cultivation. He has reached the state of perfect union. The next step is to survive the three disasters and achieve the state of the ancestor who has overcome the tribulation.

Under his coordination, the war machine of Jinchi City was operating rapidly, and teams of monks were transferred to different areas either openly or covertly.

Time passed, and half a month passed in the blink of an eye. On this day, on Jinchi City, battleships were suspended in the sky, ready to go.

The formation is fully activated, the spirit stones are ready, and all the monks are ready.

"The army moves out!!"

Following Mu Yunzi's order, the fleet took off into the sky and actually launched a counterattack against the Zhao army outside the city.

Lin Ting, the commander-in-chief of Zhao State, was very surprised after receiving the message. He looked at his colleagues around him and said, "Are the people of Zhou State crazy? Are they planning to launch such a large-scale counterattack and voluntarily abandon a strong city?" Can you surrender to our Zhao country?"

"General, in these days, Zhou's army has been mobilized frequently. There must be some conspiracy brewing. We must be careful." The confidant next to him reminded cautiously.

Lin Ting nodded slightly. He also meant the same thing and ordered: "The entire army is on alert. Let's first see what tricks Mu Yunzi is playing."

Then a strange scene appeared. The Jinchi City side, which was originally fully defensive, began to attack, while the Zhao fleet, which was originally aggressive in attacking, cautiously defended, switching offense and defense for a while.

But as they fought, the Zhao State discovered that something was wrong. The fleet offensive of Jinchi City was too weak.

Lin Ting was full of suspicion. At this moment, a subordinate hurriedly walked in with an eager look on his face, "Report to the general, Yunhai Mountain has encountered a large-scale attack by Zhou monks and it is almost impossible to defend it."

"What?" Lin Ting shouted and stood up, confused.

Just as he was about to say something, another subordinate entered the hall eagerly to report: "General, Tianhu Mountain has been captured."

Immediately afterwards, letters for help and urgent documents flew from all over the war zone like snowflakes, making Lin Ting dizzy. In a short period of time, the originally good war situation seemed to have fallen into a quagmire in an instant.

"its not right!"

Lin Ting hurriedly came to the battle map, looked at the comprehensive and intertwined battle lines on it, and muttered to himself in confusion: "How does Mu Yunzi know the reality of our troop formations?"

"As you can see, they are attacking areas with weak defenses and empty internal strength. Jinchi City raided with absolute strength and an overwhelming number of strong men. Only in this way can they capture so many of our strategic locations in a short period of time."

"But where did they get so many troops and strong men? According to the intelligence, the main ones in Jinchi City are the original border defense troops and the entire Qingyun Mansion, and most of the Lanchen Mansion."

"Right now, we have gathered almost 70% of Jinchi City's strength in front of us. Where did Mu Yunzi conjure so many monks?"

Lin Ting was puzzled.

"General, do you think the fleet in front of us is deceitful?" the deputy general reminded: "If it is really 70% of the strength of Jinchi City, the attack strength will not be so weak."

Hearing this, Lin Ting woke up from his dream and said, "Okay, you dare to sing the empty city plan with me!"

"Order the entire army to stop defending and allow me to attack. I want to see if this is a real tiger or a fake tiger."

At the commander's order, the Zhao fleet, which had been shrinking, began a fierce counterattack.

On the Jinchi City side, the person responsible for the frontal feint attack was Mu Yunzi's junior brother, Fei Yuzi. This man had a heroic appearance, but his fighting style was somewhat different from Mu Yunzi's, and he was more cautious.

After noticing Zhao Guo's movements, he immediately ordered the entire army to retreat at full speed.

"Huh, I just realized it now, it's already too late."

Fei Yuzi sneered.

The battle plan for Jinchi City was drawn up by Mu Yunzi himself, which gave full play to the adventurous spirit of the city lord and was extremely bold in his use of troops.

He mobilized most of the fleet, but only gathered 30% of the monks to form a frontal force and adopt an offensive posture to confuse the Zhao army.

Lin Ting was a very cautious general. Before he was temporarily unsure of Zhou's war intentions, he ordered the retreat.

This bought precious time for Jinchi City.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Jinchi City sent out a large force. According to the intelligence provided by Yang Tianyou, in a short period of time, the strong attacked the weak, and cleared more than a dozen important strongholds of Zhao State, and formed a siege, surrounding the Zhao army. .

Zhao Jun subconsciously pursued and fell into the trap woven by Mu Yunzi.

After approaching the city, Da Zhou relied on the formation to hold on, defend and counterattack, and blocked Lin Ting's fleet.

Other troops gradually narrowed the encirclement. When Lin Ting reacted, it was already too late.

The Zhao army was like a mosquito caught in a spider's web, struggling constantly to escape, but to no avail.

"Damn!!"

On the flagship, Lin Ting was filled with regret as he looked at the Zhou army that had surrounded him.

Originally, our side had a certain advantage, but the Zhou State could always form a situation of using more to defeat fewer in local battlefields. They seemed to know their own troop formations and power distribution very well.

"Lin Ting, you have been surrounded. Don't make any unnecessary resistance. Are you going to let the soldiers under your command die with you? Hundreds and thousands of years of cultivation are lost in just one day. Isn't it right? Is it a pity?”

"Surrender, I, the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, are known to love talents. As long as you are willing to surrender, the court is still willing to reuse you..."

Mu Yunzi stood at the top of Jinchi City and shouted to the Zhao fleet. His words were sincere.

The will of some Zhao soldiers began to waver. No one was willing to die if they could live. However, this decision-making power was not in the hands of these small soldiers, but in the hands of Lin Ting. In a war of this level, even the Jindan Yuanying , and even the monks who transformed themselves into saints could only follow the trend and couldn't help themselves.

Of course, there are more Zhao soldiers, but their faces are still full of determination. They have been trained by Zhao since they were young. Their loyalty to the imperial dynasty has been engraved in their bones. They would rather die in battle than surrender.

Lin Ting came to the flagship deck, looked at the soldiers around him and said: "I have been favored by the emperor in this life, and now I am surrounded and can only die. Although I am dead, my name will go down in history. Isn't this what a man wants? We returned wrapped in horse leather. , how magnificent!!”

As soon as these words came out, a ball of flame seemed to be lit in the eyes of Zhao Guo's soldiers. It was so bright and dazzling that Yang Tianyou on the top of the city was shocked. This is just an inconspicuous partial army of Zhao Guo. If you can have such courage, what if you are an elite?

This big week, why don't you give up?

Forget about taking your wife and surrendering to Zhao State?

This battle was basically won, but Yang Tianyou was not optimistic about the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Lin Ting's words almost announced the beginning of the decisive battle. Mu Yunzi waved his hand: "Attack!!"

For a time, the flags were fluttering, and the two sides launched a fierce encirclement and annihilation battle.
