Chapter 606 Winter
November, Puyang.
Wang Zhaoling led his troops to besiege the city for more than three months. From the high days of autumn to the first snowfall, the siege grew bigger and bigger, and today it is almost as big as a goose feather.
November is the severe winter.
Wang Zhaoling raised his head and looked at the snowflakes in the sky, and then looked at the soldiers around him. Everyone was rubbing their hands and surrounding the brazier. When he saw him looking over, they all shrank their eyes.
Such a snowy day is not suitable for fighting, let alone siege. Don't even talk about attacking the city, just talking about setting up camp. They worked hard to camp in the snow, but the city can be sheltered from the wind and snow and feel comfortable. This confrontation is not equitable at all.
In the past, when the Hu people went south, they basically had to retreat in winter. Can they retreat?
The so-called rebellion was blocked in a mere city, and no achievements were made for more than three months. In the snow, they evacuated in embarrassment, which made the world laugh.
It's not as spectacular as the momentum achieved by the Maitreya Sect. Is this what your Wang family, a thousand-year-old family, has achieved?
It's really a dilemma.
But there was nothing Wang Zhaoling could do...
In terms of military strength, they are stronger than the Cui family. After all, they have been preparing for rebellion, which is different from the Cui family's normal operations. Moreover, their soldiers and horses are generally stronger, and many soldiers have been faintly transformed by the Yin Qi of the Sea Clan. On paper, it should be equal, but the reality is that those who defend the city have an advantage over those who attack the city. Cui Yuanyong has actually fought on the battlefield. He is rich in experience and bloody, so he cannot take any advantage.
Moreover, there is also a special army in the city that makes people speechless. Their number is only a few thousand, but each of them is the trumpet Zhao Changhe. They run rampant on the battlefield with red eyes like a group of mad cows on fire. Our troops The formation in front of them didn't seem to be a military formation, but a group of gold ingots. Several times when we rushed to Kaicheng, we were overwhelmed by these guys, and they got stronger every time. They said they could level up by fighting.
Who knows what it's like to meet thousands of Zhao Changhe on the battlefield? Especially the leader, Xue Canghai, isn't it said that it is a shame for a strong man to be overstepped? What's going on with this intensity? It feels like he's almost reaching the level of Earth Ranking strength...
In terms of money, food and equipment, the Cui family is worthy of the Wang family. The Wang family may be richer through sea trade, but they can't just kill people.
Apart from anything else, the boiling oil in this city has been poured for three months and there is still some left. It’s like the oil can be directly produced underground in Puyang. Forget about the boiling oil and boiled shit, this thing is not an insult. It is extremely potent, and the damage is even more outrageous. Once infected, people will die, and it will also cause plague. What's disgusting is that there are endless strategic materials that can be used as fertilizer. It seems that the entire Puyang City can poop five times a day if they don't do anything.
This is the first time I've seen someone take money to buy shit in large quantities from other places. How could this handsome young man Cui Yuanyong become like this...
In terms of experts, his Wang family has many guest officials, but the Cui family is no less famous than him. In addition, the brothers Cui Yuanyong and Cui Yuanyang are masters themselves, so it will be difficult for the strong one to get there first or to assassinate them.
In terms of top combat power... Wang Zhaoling smiled bitterly to himself.
My father and Cui Wenjing were both injured before, and the injury was relatively minor. I originally expected him to recover early and join the battle, but the first thing he did after recovering was to go to sea.
Wang Zhaoling also understood that if he came directly to the battlefield, he didn't know how Xia Longyuan would react. It would be better to attack from the side at sea. Of course Wang Daoning knew that Hai Pinglan drove the tiger to devour the wolf. This was one of the plans of Wang Daoning and Hai Pinglan to bring down Xia Longyuan. Going to sea was no less important than the Puyang battlefield.
Results, results! Wang Daoning was actually beaten back by the Xuanwu of the Four Elephants Sect, and even if he was beaten back, the whole world would be informed!
Wang Zhaoling always felt that the Cui family in Puyang City were laughing wildly, and even the eyes of his own soldiers began to flicker and shrink.
When it comes to conquering the surrounding areas and doing things in a roundabout way, in the past, we could still expect the cooperation of Wan Tianxiong in the south. But as soon as the report about the Xuanwu battle Wang Daoning came out, Suzaku didn't care who was right or wrong. He changed his mind faster than turning the page of a book and said that my Xuanwu couldn't possibly have it. Wrong, it must be you, Wang Daoning, who bullied my Xuanwu family, and our alliance collapsed.
Don't expect Wan Tianxiong to cooperate this time. It would be nice if he doesn't beat you back.
How can we continue to fight this battle?
It seems that he no longer has much to do with Xia Longyuan. Even if Xia Longyuan dies now, it feels like there is still a quagmire ahead and it is difficult to move forward.
Wang Zhaoling didn't even know why it turned out like this. His father had been planning it for so long. Could it be that in addition to the cooperation between the Four Symbols Sect and the Hu people, it all relied on Poseidon? Once Poseidon dies, will he have no backup plan at all?
Not long ago, my uncle Wang Daozhong was here to cooperate with the siege, but did not achieve any results. He has gone back recently to ask his father what else he can do.
Wang Zhaoling looked at the heavy snow in the sky and secretly thought that he would have to wait until the news about his father came through. He didn't believe that his father only had this little thing. How could he really place his hope in the so-called Poseidon?
If I am not mistaken, my father had other ideas about the Sea Clan from the beginning...
"Strengthen the defense! Be careful of the attack on the camp on a snowy night in the city!" Wang Zhaoling shouted sternly: "What kind of military appearance do you have? Father didn't let us retreat, which means there must be a back-up plan. We all know that Tianbang is thinking very well, so just defend the camp!"
The soldiers responded sparsely, and they all changed from attacking the city to "defending the camp". Is it still the same Si Mou from Tianbang who was beaten back by Xuanwu's fist?
…………
Langya Wang family.
Wang Daoning sat cross-legged on the top of a tall building, looking at the sea in the distance.
The snow was falling like flakes, and the mountains and rivers were all white. The distant coast that could usually be seen clearly was now covered in silver, and it was almost impossible to see what the sea was.
The sound of climbing up the stairs sounded behind him, and his younger brother's voice came: "How is the eldest brother's injury?"
Wang Daoning said slowly: "It wasn't a direct punch from Xuanwu, most of the force was dissipated, the injury is not serious, and it has recovered in recent days."
Wang Daozhong breathed a sigh of relief, and then angrily said: "What's wrong with the Four Symbols Sect? They said they were forming an alliance, but apart from the proposal to open the sea, they did almost nothing that allies should do, and instead opposed everything!"
"Heh..." Wang Daoning also smiled bitterly: "Xuanwu is Hai Pinglan's daughter, who would have thought of this."
Wang Daozhong: "..."
He was just thinking that things are unpredictable, and suddenly felt that something was wrong: "This is not right, brother, shouldn't we fight against the Sea God together with Hai Pinglan? This is the plan we had when we got the sea mud. Why did you stand on the side of the Sea God and fight against Xuanwu? Is it really controlled by the Sea God?"
Wang Daoning sighed softly: "The water soul is very closely connected with our souls. If I If you rebel in front of the Sea God, you will be killed by the backlash. That is not the right time at all. "
He looked into the distance with a strange look on his face: "I didn't expect... the Sea God would actually fall... the water soul left in our bodies has become an ownerless thing. Have you refined it?"
Wang Daozhong said: "I just refined it, and it was stuck at the threshold of the third secret treasure... Give it some time, maybe there is a chance to break through. Anyway, if Zhao Changhe dares to pretend to be me again, he will never come back!"
Wang Daoning frowned: "The Sea God died at the hands of Zhao Changhe, how dare you underestimate him?"
"That was a seriously injured Sea God, Zhao Changhe just picked up the leak. The Book of Chaos clearly said that he was only a second secret treasure. In this time, no matter how talented he is, he can't be higher than me." Wang Daozhong seemed not to want to talk about this topic, and continued to ask: "Then did the eldest brother refine it too?"
Wang Daoning said "hmm".
Wang Daozhong showed ecstasy.
The original Wang Daoning was already in the late stage of the triple secret treasure. In the battle with King Cui, both sides were close to the realm of control. If Xia Chichi hadn't sneaked up on him, he would have won the battle with Xuanwu. Xia Chichi was injured in the sneak attack. With this strength, if he refined the water soul that belonged to him, Wang Daoning would now be in the realm of control!
In fact, the Wang family was just gambling at the beginning.
The realm of control has never appeared in this era. A few years ago, people didn't know that Xia Longyuan was so abnormal. They thought he was just an old man who wanted to break through the realm of control but got into trouble and made many stupid moves. How to break through the realm of control is a question that every person on the Heavenly Ranking is thinking about.
For example, Ying Wu took the path of collecting broken spaces that may never be completed, and Wang Daoning came into contact with the Sea God in the process of searching for sea mud and felt the invasion of the water soul.
He knew that it was the ability of the realm of control, and it was still quite weak. He might swallow it and use it to break through the realm of control. So he took advantage of the situation and joined the Sea Emperor.
Wang Daoning made a lot of preparations for this. For example, his son Wang Zhaoling resolutely refused to touch the sea mud. He could die, but the seeds of the next generation must be kept.
The original plan was not a big problem except that it was a bit more gambling, but he did not expect the Book of Heaven... The Sea Emperor recovered quickly through the Book of Heaven and the power of faith. The efficiency of its recovery made Wang Daoning dumbfounded. He turned from a weak god into an irresistible spiritual infection, almost caught off guard.
Wang Daoning felt more and more desperate. There were many things that he could not help. After that, he showed "anxiety" that everyone could not understand, which was completely unlike the operation of the aristocratic family. It all came from this. It was not him who was anxious, but the Sea Emperor who was eager to expand his faith. Even Zhao Changhe understood this.
And now he finally got what he wanted. The Sea Emperor fell, and the remaining enlightenment of the realm was fully accepted. Now he may be the second realm after Xia Longyuan in this world. All the gambles are worth it.
Wang Daozhong said happily: "Brother, did you expect the Sea Emperor to fall?"
Wang Daoning was silent for a moment, and whispered: "I am ashamed. Even if I expected the Sea Emperor to fall, I was still pinning my hopes on Xia Longyuan... The direction of things is not under our control at all, we are just gambling. Fortunately, no matter how the Sea Emperor died, we won the bet. Now Xia Longyuan is injured, and I am the only one in the world who can control the realm."
