On the 22nd, it snowed continuously for four days and four nights, and the Tianjue Empire had besieged Dongning City for seven days.
The city gates were full of scars caused by sword energy and trebuchets.
It was as if they had been washed away by blood.
In the cold winter, the blood of the soldiers quickly froze into ice on the wall, and it looked like it was coated with a layer of blood-colored ice crystals.
Under the city, corpses were everywhere.
Gong Shangming ordered the archers to be on guard and did not allow the Tianjue Empire to collect the corpses.
As a result, the corpses of Tianjue Empire soldiers piled up layer by layer under the city.
When the Tianjue Empire attacked the city, they had to trample on the bodies of their companions.
The corpses were used to set up ladders, as if the corpses had become part of the siege equipment.
Late at night, the Tianjue Empire's camp was completely exhausted.
Inside the Chinese army's tent, everything was cold.
Chen Yu stood in front of the map.
His body could not help but tremble slightly.
He suddenly turned around and looked at the generals and said, "We have already attacked the east city gate this afternoon.
Why did we retreat to Chang'an?"
Hu, you are the commander of the army, what crime should you do?"
A captain hurriedly knelt down and said with a livid face: "Your Majesty, our casualties are too great.
All two thousand brothers in the vanguard camp died under the city.
The Chinese cavalry and heavy shields cannot withstand the city at all. stones on the ground, and just Under the east city gate, our dragon knight regiment killed seven dragon knights.
It’s not that the general didn’t want to attack the city, but that he couldn’t attack it at all.
Even if the general gave the order, it was just to let the remaining five thousand All the brothers died below the city."
"It makes sense for you to be afraid of death."
Chen Yu pointed at Chang Hu and shouted: "If the generals are as greedy for life and afraid of death as you, who would risk their lives to attack the city?
The soldiers of the three armies lost many men and horses before they reached the city, and their success fell short because of your cowardice.
But you are still plausibly arguing about who is coming, drag Chang Hu down and behead him."
"Your Majesty will never be innocent" Chang Hu knelt down on the ground, but was pulled down by several guards.
In the blink of an eye, the bloody head was presented to Chen Yu, but no one dared to speak from the beginning to the end.
After seven days of continuous siege, no results were achieved, but the result was damaged.
Having lost at least nearly 150,000 troops, Chen Yu needed to vent his anger, but Chang Hu was just unlucky.
"What's the situation in the city?"
Chen Yu looked at everyone with cold eyes.
No one in the group of commander-level generals dared to say anything, but Liaoyang walked forward slowly and said with cupped hands: "Your Majesty, according to the information I know, our army used dragon knights to descend from the sky and burn the granaries on the first day of the siege.
Most of the food stored in Dongning City has been burned down.
The food has become less and the food in the city has been burned.
The 200,000-strong army can only continue to forcibly collect food from the people's homes, so that the people in Dongning City have been complaining these days.
To this day, we have seen some people changing their food and eating.
Many people have been eating for three or five days in a row.
There is no food left, and the bark and roots of the trees in the city have been almost eaten away.”
Chen Yu said calmly: "It seems that Gong Shangming can't hold on for long.
The people in the city exchange their children for food.
This means that Gong Shangming's army rations have been exhausted.
As long as we surround the city, we can capture Dongning City in one go." , take my decree to dispatch the Earth Jedi Corps and let them join in the attack."
"yes" Liaoyang frowned and said, "Your Majesty, our army's food supply has also been cut off."
"When did it happen" "This morning, it is already night, and there are still many soldiers in the battalion who have not even had lunch.
A lot of moldy and rotten millet has been taken out and cooked, but it is still a drop in the bucket and not enough at all."

"Do the soldiers know about the food shortage?"
"I don't know yet."
Chen Yu took a deep breath: "Then we must not let them know.
If the order is passed, it will be said that the food transport team has been delayed on the road.
It will definitely arrive within a day.
In addition, the 10,000 horses of the vanguard camp of the Tianjue Corps will be killed."
Come on, help."
The Tianjue Corps is the heart and soul of King Dongcheng, and the Vanguard Battalion is the elite cavalry of the Tianjue Corps.
King Dongcheng suddenly frowned and said: "Your Majesty, once the horses are killed for food, I am afraid that the combat power of the Tianjue Corps will be greatly increased.
Moreover, 10,000 war horses can feed an army of 800,000, but they will still be out of food after one day.”
Chen Yu frowned: "Don't worry too much, King Dongcheng.
I've done the math.
In addition to the vanguard battalion of the Tianjue Corps, we have a total of 150,000 cavalry.
These 150,000 horses are enough for us to last for 15 days." , as long as we hold on, all the people in the city may have starved to death, and Dongning City will be won without a fight."
King Dongcheng trembled: "Your Majesty, are you planning to give up the Tianjue Empire's cavalry?
Once we don't have these 150,000 cavalry, what else can we use to fight a positional war with the Tianji Empire?"
"If people starve to death, what will happen even if they have cavalry?"
Chen Yu looked at him coldly and said: "I have made up my mind.
No need to say more.
I will kill horses for food every day and be sure to seal all the food roads around Dongning City.
We can't eat food, and Gong Shangming can't eat it either."
Go ahead, I want to see how long this helpless scholar can last."
With that said, Chen Yu saluted Han Yuan and said: "Sect Master, come with me to the Forest of No Return tonight.
I want to meet the Demon Emperor's Lady Killer and see what she does.
Aren't you afraid of the revenge of my million-strong army?"
"
Han Yuan nodded: "Okay."
Liaoyang frowned and said: "Since the female assassin has decided to cooperate with the Bai Ze mercenaries, she must have made up her mind.
There is no need for your majesty and the sect leader to take risks.
After all, the Forest of No Return is the territory of the demon spirit clan.
In case of any accident, If the female assassin gathers a large army, I'm afraid your Majesty will be in danger."
Chen Yu smiled brightly: "The soldiers of the three armies fought to the death for me, and my life is worth a gamble for the soldiers of the three armies.
I believe that your female murderer will not want to take my life."
Han Yuan clasped his fists: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I will summon all the masters of Tianjue Sect to go together.
Even if the female murderer wants to go against us, it will be a fight to the death at most."
"Good, very good."
Late at night, a group of people meandered into the Forest of No Return.
The snow was falling heavily, and the girl on the hill had a clear view of this group of people.
Lin Muyu, Sikong Yao, Qin Yin and others were all standing on the newly built rudimentary city fortress, which was made of soil, stones and It was formed by pouring and freezing water and was guarded by 100,000 Baize mercenaries.
It was named Baize Fortress.
After many days of transportation, Baize Fortress is now considered a forest of crossbows and arrows and a group of chariots.
From afar, Chen Yu looked up at the fortress that suddenly appeared on the grain road.
He couldn't help but frowned and said, "What's going on?
When did a fortress appear on the Snake Road?"
Liaoyang squinted his eyes and took a closer look, and said, "What is flying on the fortress is the battle flag of the Baize mercenaries.

It turns out that the Baize mercenaries have been hiding here."
Chen Yu was silent.
Liaoyang said: "Your Majesty, what's wrong?"
"If we retreat," in the cold weather, Chen Yu's forehead was covered with cold sweat, and he said: "If we retreat, where should we go?
This Baize mercenary appeared like a deadly sharp knife.
On our way to retreat, Sikong Yao doesn’t want to leave a retreat for our Tianjue Empire.”
Liaoyang nodded: "The location of this city is unique.
It can be said that one man can block it and no one can open it.
If it is as your Majesty said, something serious may really happen."
Chen Yu gritted his teeth and said in a low voice: "What a shame, once Dongning City is captured, I will immediately kill the Baize mercenaries and this group of reckless men who don't know the heights of heaven and earth."
Han Yuan wore a black robe and flew quietly in the air.
He suddenly said: "Your Majesty, the Demon Emperor Nv Xi has come to greet us."
Sure enough, in the heavy snow, densely packed figures appeared on the post.
The Demon Emperor Nvshu was still holding her pipa, standing elegantly and calmly in the wind and snow, looking at Chen Yu and his party with a pair of smart eyes, and She was surrounded by many demon spirits with the strength of demon kings and demon masters.
There were low-pitched roars on the hills.
At least tens of thousands of high-level demon spirits gathered here.
Chen Yu stepped on the snow and suddenly flew into the sky.
He held his fists in the air and said, "Chen Yu meets His Majesty the Demon Emperor."
"My little lady has met His Majesty Chen Yu."
The female assassin smiled slightly and said, "I don't know why His Majesty brought hundreds of people here this time."
Chen Yu smiled lightly and said: "I just want to ask why His Majesty the Demon Emperor allowed Baize's mercenaries to run wild on the Snake Winding Road.
Has His Majesty forgotten the agreement between us?"
"Not forgotten."
The female murderer's eyes were dark and she said: "It's just that the bargaining chips of the Baize mercenaries are more attractive, and Miss Sikong Yao also promised that she would never set fire to the forest of no return, and the little girl is the emperor of the demon spirit clan, so she only Given the choice, I chose Baize Mercenary.”
Chen Yu gritted his teeth: "His Majesty the Demon Emperor has decided to become the enemy of our Tianjue Empire."
"Whatever you think."
The female murderer giggled and said: "But it seems that His Majesty has brought so many people here.
This fight must be fought.
Since there is a fight, why are there so many descendants of the demon spirits?
Get ready to kill the enemy."
Suddenly, there was the sound of howling wolves and tigers on the hill, and each demon spirit revealed its ferocious claws and fangs.
Not only that, there were also densely packed Baize mercenaries in white robes appearing on the hill.
They stretched their long bows and pointed straight down the mountain.
There was a faint cold light on the arrows, and they were all evil heart arrows.
In addition to the archers, there were even racks of crossbows and hunting crossbows, all pointing directly at Chen Yu and others.
At the foot of the mountain, the sleeves of Han Yuan's robe were flying up, and streaks of golden light came out from his body.
He flew up like a god.
Xu Ran said with a swaying smile: "Nu Shi, do you really want to go to war with Tian Juezong?"
Nvshi smiled faintly: "Master Han Yuan, you are a master of the first generation.
If we are to be honest, you are now provoking us demon spirits in the territory of my demon spirit clan.
We are not the ones who want to initiate a war."
"Let's go, let's go" Han Yuan laughed loudly: "From now on, there will be no more demons in the mountains.
Kill them for me":
