Chapter 424 It's not good, shouldn't it be that something happened to the dark warehouse of the dungeon, Xu Lengzhi was shocked into a cold sweat at an instant, didn't say a word, stood up violently, and strode into the cave.
As soon as he opened the first stone door, he felt a wave of heat rushing towards him, and although there was no smoke in the corridor, the temperature was frighteningly high.
Oh no, Xu Lengzhi screamed secretly, trotted all the way down the steps of the Yongdao, and went down to the inner end of the Yongdao.
The further he walked in, the higher the temperature, and after walking this section of steps, his single clothes were soaked with sweat.
He also wanted to open the second stone door, but as soon as his palm touched the wall, he screamed like electricity, and hurriedly took it back, and then looked at his palm, which was red and swollen, which was scalded by the high temperature of the wall.
Xu Lengzhi didn't have time to check the burns on his palm, exuded his spiritual energy, covered the spirit armor, and then touched the mechanism again and opened the second stone door.
As soon as the stone gate was opened, it was as if the gate had been opened, and a thick cloud of smoke poured out, instantly submerging the tunnel.
Xu Lengzhi was unprepared, choked on the sudden smoke, and the old man took two steps back, bent down in pain, and coughed repeatedly.
The guards behind covered their mouths and noses with their sleeves, and rushed to Xu Lengzhi's approach, shouting: "The general is dangerous, quickly exit it."
He also tried to push everyone on the left and right away, but the violent cough made him unable to exert his strength.
He allowed the guards to help him out of the corridor, and at the same time said intermittently: "Fight the fire, hurry up and call someone to put out the fire" The guards grinned secretly, how to save this fire If the dark warehouse is in an open place, then it is okay to say, but the dark warehouse goes deep underground, and you have to pass through this long corridor, at this time it is full of smoke, and people can't even breathe, let alone fight fires Regardless of whether the fire in the dark warehouse can be extinguished or not, the people who should do it still have to do it.
The guards organized manpower, covered their faces with sweat towels, carried buckets, and charged into the corridor like a death squad.
However, it is impossible to see in the corridor, and people can only spill the water in the bucket by feeling, and it is unknown whether it has been splashed into the dungeon.
It can be said that it is several times more difficult to rescue the fire in the hidden warehouse than it is to rescue the fire in the open warehouse, even if there are more people fighting the fire, when entering the corridor, they can only follow the fish one by one, and the water brought in may not be poured in the right place, so how can the fire in the hidden warehouse be extinguished One night, Xu Lengzhi's two granaries carefully arranged in Pufeng City both caught fire, and the worst thing is that the fire in the light and dark warehouses could not be controlled.
It was not until the afternoon of the next day that the fire in the two granaries gradually weakened, but in the same way, most of the grain stored in the two granaries was burned to the ground, and even if there was some left, it was burned so black and charred that it was no longer for human consumption.
In just one day, Xu Lengzhi, who was in a hurry, seemed to have aged more than ten years all of a sudden, the old man's face lost its original ruddyness, his eyes also lost their brilliance, a layer of blisters appeared on his lips, and even his hair looked a lot grayer.
What does defending the city depend on, one is combat power, and the other is food, without food, no matter how strong the combat power is, it is only a castle in the air, and it is difficult to last.
Xu Lengzhi knew the stakes well, the two granaries were destroyed at the same time, how could he not be in a hurry to catch fire For Chen Zhong, who was derelict in his duties, Xu Lengzhi did not even hesitate, and immediately ordered to be beheaded, as for Jiang Song and Ding Youchun, who were also suspected of dereliction of duty, Xu Lengzhi also opened the net, demoted the two of them by three levels, and deposed the titles of the two of them to see the after-effects.
Although the dereliction of duty of the generals was severely punished, it did not help the overall situation, and the situation in Pufeng City took a sharp turn for the worse in an instant, from the original easy defense to the precarious, and the panic began to spread rapidly throughout the army.
The loss of the hoarded grain and grass is equivalent to the loss of the backbone of the soldiers for the soldiers, and the people of the Mo army are panicked, as if a catastrophe is coming.
This sudden change completely disrupted Xu Lengzhi's plan, he originally wanted to stick to Pufeng and drag down the Fengyu coalition army, but now there is no food reserves, and sticking to Pufeng has become a dead end, Xu Lengzhi can only be forced to change his tactics, from active defense to passive breakthrough.
However, if the Mo army wants to break through now, it is not easy to talk about it.
The fire in Pufeng City gave a clear signal to the Feng army outside the city, the king lurking in the city has succeeded in the sneak attack, and now Pufeng City has become a Jedi, and the hundreds of thousands of Mo troops inside will never sit still, and the only way out is to break out.
The Fengyu coalition army no longer stormed Pufeng, but stuck to the camp, arranged the camp defense, and prepared to deal with the breakthrough of the Mozambican army.
Sure enough.
Two days after the Pufeng granary was burned down, in the middle of the night, Xu Leng's troops divided into two routes, all the way to the south and all the way to the north, attacking from both sides and breaking through separately.
Xu Lengzhi's arrangement was also very clever, the wave that broke through to the south had fewer troops, only about 100,000, and the wave that broke through to the north was the main force, led by him personally.
Judging from the current battle situation, the north is the place occupied by the Feng army, and judging by the psychology of the wind army, it is impossible for the Mo army to break through to the north, and the direction of the most likely breakthrough is east or south.
Xu Lengzhizheng took advantage of the psychology of the Feng army, divided 100,000 soldiers to make the illusion of breaking through to the south, and attracted the attention of the Fengyu coalition army to the south, and then he led the main army to break through from the north.
Such an arrangement may lead to the annihilation of the 100,000 Mozambican army, but at least it can ensure the survival of the main army, which is also worth it.
However, Xu Lengzhi will be careful and think backwards, but the generals on the side of the Feng Army are not given in vain, especially Xiao Muqing, the commander of the Plains Army, who is experienced and cunning, and is better than a monkey on the battlefield When the main force of the Mo army broke through to the north, it happened to run into the Ninth Army arranged by Xiao Muqing in the north camp.
The Ninth Army had suffered a big loss at the hands of Xu Lengzhi, with countless losses and losses, and the deputy marshal Shi Lexuan also died tragically in front of the two armies When the main force of the Mo army began to storm the north camp of the Feng army, Qi Heng directly ordered to open the camp gate, and the entire Ninth Army went into battle.
The soldiers of the Mo army were trying to force the gate of the Fengying camp open, but the wind army took the initiative to open the gate, and then the heavy cavalry rushed out from inside.
There was no formal exchange between the two sides, just the moment the hoplites rushed out, and the Mo soldiers outside the camp gate were trampled to death.
Qi Heng, who took the lead, held the Nine Turns Soul Breaking Knife in his hand, and took the lead in the camp of the Mo army, it was really like a red-eyed killing god, and in the middle of a walk, he opened a three-meter-wide blood path.
Qi Heng was brave and unstoppable, and the officers and soldiers of the Ninth Army behind him also took the lead, rampage in the camp of the Mozambican army, and killed the soldiers in front of the Mozambican army to cry and cry for their mother, and fled in all directions.
Soon, Qi Heng, who was killing up, met with Xiang Wen, a fierce general in the Mo army.
In the chaotic battlefield of shouting and killing, there was no superfluous nonsense between the two of them, and they immediately fought in one place.
This is a battle between needles and wheat, and it is also a duel between top-level light cultivators.
As soon as the two of them started fighting, they both showed their respective spiritual martial arts, and for a while, the place where the two of them were flying sand and rocks, the sky was dark, and the ghosts were crying and howling, so it was not terrifying.
With the spiritual martial arts of the two of them, it is estimated that it will be difficult to distinguish between the superior and the inferior after a whole day, but the confrontation between the soldiers below has already divided the advantages and disadvantages.
Don't look at the large number of troops of the Mo army, but in front of the heavy cavalry, it was like a mustard, and the groups of Mo soldiers were knocked to the ground by the heavy cavalry, and then they failed to get up, and were trampled into flesh by the groups of cavalry.
The Ninth Army was outnumbered, but it had an overall advantage on the scene, which greatly boosted the morale of the Feng Army, and immediately after the Ninth Army, the Feng Country Infantry Corps led by Shangguan Yuanrang also counterattacked the battalion, and cooperated with the heavy cavalry to jointly launch a counter-charge against the Mo army.
More than 500,000 Mo troops, under the counterattack of more than 200,000 wind troops, not only did they have no advantage at all, but also fell into a comprehensive passivity, and in the end, Xu Lengzhi judged that it was difficult to gain anything in this battle, so he had to order that the rear team became the front team, and all the soldiers withdrew to the city.
After a fierce fight, the Mo army did not break through the camp of the Feng army, but was killed by the wind army and retreated to Pufeng City.

On the other side, the Mo army, which broke through to the south and attracted the attention of the Fengyu coalition army, was even more miserable, going out of 100,000 soldiers, and less than 50,000 people fled back, and the rest were either killed outside the Fengying camp or captured alive by the Fengyu coalition army.
After this battle, Xu Lengzhi basically canceled the plan to break through, without breaking the crossbow, his own side could not restrain the heavy cavalry of the Feng country at all, in front of the heavy cavalry, the infantry of the Mozambican country was as fragile as straw, and could only be slaughtered by others, without the power to fight back.
Even Xiang Wen, who was so powerful as Lingwu, had no confidence at all at this time, and felt that this battle was really dangerous for his side.
When the Mo army broke through, Tang Yin, Cheng Jin, Lotte and others who were lurking in the Mo army had the opportunity to escape back to their own camp, but their identities were not recognized, and Tang Yin did not choose to flee back, but continued to lurk, looking for an opportunity to help his own soldiers.
This time the Mozambican army failed to break through, and the atmosphere in Pufeng City became even more depressing, and the soldiers of the Mozambican army were lifeless and had no fighting spirit at all, and even people had gradually given birth to the idea of disarming and surrendering.
Xu Lengzhi, who is so good at strategy, is also at a loss at this time, and now he is in a dilemma, if he insists on holding on, hundreds of thousands of soldiers may have to die in Pufeng, if you want to save the lives of the soldiers, it seems that the only way to surrender is feasible
