Chapter 676 Liu Batian
Outside the Daliang capital, facing the tall city walls, everyone took a deep breath even though they were mentally prepared.
From a distance, the city was nearly four meters high, with a moat surrounding it. On the city walls, elite soldiers wearing heavy armor were walking back and forth.
Although Daliang has suffered losses in recent years, it still has many outstanding generals, such as Long Jie, who ranks ninth on the list of great generals, and Chai Fang, who ranks eighteenth.
Although this ranking is not impressive compared to Sun Wufeng, Lin Xiaofan and others, but with the protection of this wall and the hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers in the city, it is no problem to resist hundreds of thousands of enemies.
"Master, is there any solution?"
Lin Xiaofan asked.
Sun Wufeng looked at the city wall for a long time, and finally sighed:
"You can only take one step at a time."
Before coming, he studied the map countless times, but in the end he couldn't think of a good strategy.
It is not without reason that this city was built thousands of years ago, developed to this size, and was designated as the capital several times.
"There are some spies inside."
Lin Xiaofan said.
Most of the one thousand people in the Anbu entered here, including the little witch and Xiaohan.
"This battle mainly depends on their performance. If they can use the counter-espionage strategy well, maybe a lot of soldiers can be saved."
Sun Wufeng nodded slightly.
At the same time, the Tang Dynasty was also on the way to send troops.
The Tianwu Kingdom to the west of the Tang Dynasty was defeated by Fan Yong. Not only did it fail to capture a single city, it also lost hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses. In the end, it had no choice but to withdraw in disgrace.
With the withdrawal of Tianlang and Da Qi in the east, the war also came to an end.
All the soldiers and horses of Tianlang Kingdom are used to defend their homes, so the few people of Da Qi are not a threat.
They sent troops from the Longhu Mountains, and no one stopped them along the way, so they came directly to the capital.
"Brother Lin, long time no see."
A loud voice startled Lin Xiaofan. He looked up and saw Xiao Tiansheng, whom he hadn't seen for a long time.
In the Tang Dynasty, if we talk about his relationship with him, perhaps only Xiao Tiansheng can be considered a friend.
There were two generals next to Xiao Tiansheng, one of whom was an old general in his sixties or seventies, Liu Batian.
In Liu Batian's time, the Tang Dynasty was not as strong as it is today, and even Fan Yong had not yet emerged. The only person who could fight in the country was Sun Wufeng.
At that time, he was spotted by Sun Wufeng and led an army, which led to great victories in several battles. From then on, he took on the responsibility of defending the western border.
The old general has fought all his life, and in terms of combat power, he may not be as strong as the new generation. But in terms of battlefield experience, he can be said to be the most qualified in the current Tang Dynasty.
Li Zhao also took into consideration that most of the generals in Daqian are young, so he sent Liu Batian.
But he probably didn't expect that Sun Wufeng was now in the Daqian military camp.
"The Tang Dynasty sent 50,000 troops this time. Two thousand of them died when they crossed the Longhu Mountains, so a total of 48,000 troops were sent. The emperor trusts Brother Lin, so this battle is entirely up to you, Brother Lin, to command."
Xiao Tiansheng dismounted from his horse.
"It's all up to you to command."
Liu Batian also smiled at Lin Xiaofan. Perhaps because Lin Xiaofan had the true teachings of Sun Wufeng, he had a good impression of Lin Xiaofan.
"Haha, you guys came just in time. We're going to attack the city tomorrow. Come on, I'll take you to meet an old friend."
Lin Xiaofan smiled.
"Old friend? Ours?"
Liu Batian was full of doubts. He didn't know anyone from Daqian.
"Yes, yours. We were able to capture the city in this battle, thanks to him."
Lin Xiaofan deliberately kept the secret and didn't tell the two of them about the person.
He led them all the way to the main tent, where sat an old man with a hunched back and a bronze mask on his face. There was a map in front of him, which he was studying carefully.
A sense of familiarity came over the two of them.
"Old General?"
Liu Batian was excited. It was Sun Wufeng who promoted him from an unknown soldier to a general and let him lead the army.
It was Sun Wufeng's trust that made him what he is today. Otherwise, as a powerless person, he might never get ahead in his life.
"General Sun!"
Xiao Tiansheng was equally excited, and his loud voice made the tent tremble.
As a member of the new generation, he often receives guidance from Sun Wufeng.
They both thought that Sun Wufeng had passed away long ago, and they were sad for a long time. Who would have thought that they would meet in Daqian's military camp today?
"Old General, why are you here?"
Liu Batian walked forward with a thousand doubts in his mind.
"Haha, I never said I was dead. Those rumors are just rumors."
Sun Wufeng took off his mask, revealing an old face, but his spirit was indeed radiant. He was also happy to see the two people.
"I have been traveling around the world for the past few years, and suddenly I heard the news of the death of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. I believe that Li Zhao and you can definitely eliminate the threat of the Tang Dynasty, and I happened to be in the territory of Daqian, so I wanted to attack the Tianlang Kingdom in one fell swoop."
"General, with this move, the Tang Dynasty will have no rivals in the next hundred years."
After Liu Batian thought about it carefully, he understood the brilliance of Sun Wufeng's move.
The biggest threat to the Tang Dynasty has always been the Tianlang Kingdom. Although the capture of the 18 counties of the Tianlang Kingdom was not taken by the Tang Dynasty, it was enough to cause serious damage to the Tianlang Kingdom, and it would take a long time to recover.
"Only after we destroy the Tianlang Kingdom can we have a brief peace. Xiao Tiansheng, Liu Batian, go patrol the area and block the troops coming to support the Tianlang Kingdom, so that this capital becomes an isolated city."
Sun Wufeng said. Although the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty has ordered that all 50,000 troops be dispatched by Daqian, it is not so easy to integrate them well, so it is better to send the two out.
And now Daqian has enough troops.
"promise."
The two generals received the order and after resting for a while, they set out again with the Tang army.
The next day, under the command of Sun Wufeng, the first siege was launched.
Arrows rained down one after another, hitting the iron armor with a clanging sound.
One after another, large-scale sieges came to the foot of Tianlang City.
The vanguard general in this battle was Xu Wu.
He used his lance to cut a hole in the city wall and led his soldiers to fight on the city wall for a long time, but in the end he could not find an opportunity and had to retreat after fighting to exhaustion.
Countless soldiers were covered in blood, and the city walls were littered with corpses.
The two Lin Chongs fell to the ground and were burned along with the corpses by a fire from the Tianlang Kingdom.
"We can't get in."
Xu Wu sighed, his arms were too weak to lift.
"As expected. The Tianlang Nation has been established for hundreds of years. How can the capital be easily captured?"
Lin Xiaofan comforted.
"Has the abalone altar in the northern border of Tianlang moved?"
Sun Wufeng asked.
"Not moving."
"It seems that the Wolf King is very confident."
Sun Wufeng sighed. In the north of Tianlang, Baotan still had 100,000 troops guarding Daqi. If this army was mobilized back, the possibility of them capturing the capital of Tianlang would be almost zero.
“It’s not necessarily self-confidence, it could be greed.”
Lin Xiaofan said.
If the Tianlang Kingdom also gives up the twenty counties in the northern border, it will completely become an ordinary country.
"The capital city cannot be captured in a short period of time. It depends on whether Tianlang will reveal any flaws."
