Whale Falls and Becomes a God

Chapter 124: Feint to the East and Attack in the West (Additional Updates Asking for Votes)
Preferring sons over daughters is an inherent idea under the feudal system!

Shen Manxuan was undoubtedly a prominent figure, beloved by the entire Shangliang army, and possessed countless admirers due to her talent and beauty. However, it was naturally impossible for her to force Shangliang King Shen Faxing to surrender.

The problem is, among them is the only son of the great bandit Wenren Suian... Wenren Yun!

Although Wenren Yun's talent was mediocre and far inferior to that of Shen Lun, the son of the King of Shangliang, otherwise, given the relationship between the Shangliang army and the Wenren bandit, they would have formed an alliance through marriage long ago.

But he... is Wenren Suian's only son!

It can be said that the most powerful and reliable reinforcement and ally of the Shangliang army currently trapped in Hailing City is Wenren Jukou. The others are unreliable, and it is a blessing that they do not add insult to injury!
"Madam Ronghua...I need time to investigate the situation and give it serious consideration!"

Shen Faxing looked at the two people outside the city with a headache, then looked at Madam Ronghua, and responded sincerely.

It's ambiguous, but the key point is clearly one word...

drag!
Delay time and wait for a turnaround!

Shen Faxing had risen to prominence, becoming one of the Three Kings of Jiangnan. He had even seized upon this momentum to sweep across the Jiangnan counties, rivaling the Fengming Army and the Jianghuai Army in power. He was undoubtedly a formidable figure, a true hero of his time. How could he possibly surrender and submit to these two?!

More importantly, if the important city of Hailing is given up, the Shangliang army will be forced to surrender even if they don’t want to, and there will be no hope of hegemony!

If Shen Manxuan was replaced by Shen Lun, perhaps Shen Faxing would give it a little more consideration...

Furthermore, Madam Ronghua was one of the Four Consorts of the Sui Dynasty, second only to Empress Xiao, and her fame was naturally known throughout the land. Although this was the first time Shen Faxing had seen her in person, he still respected her highly enough!
"What a joke! I'll only give you a stick of incense..."

Madam Ronghua's pretty face darkened noticeably, and she scolded repeatedly in anger.

Before he could finish his words, Concubine Xu Qiubai (one of the thirty Star Soul Fusion practitioners) stepped forward to dissuade him and report.

"Ahem! Ahem! Then give King Shangliang twelve hours. If you still hesitate by this time tomorrow, I will immediately sacrifice the flag and attack the city with all my might, regardless of the cost!"

Madam Ronghua's eyes lit up, her pretty face radiating with light. She quickly changed her words and responded repeatedly. After a pause, she directly shouted:
"Withdraw! Give the Shangliang Army one day to think carefully... whether to live or die!"

Before the reply faded, Madam Ronghua turned and left, and the generals around her followed suit, and even the army that was flooding the front lines also turned...

The reactions of Concubine Xu and Madam Ronghua were naturally a long-planned drama.

The Sui army had long guessed that King Shangliang would not surrender so easily, but they were just holding on to the idea that just in case, it would at least be able to influence the people's hearts and the army's morale!
……

"what……"

Seeing the Sui army outside the city respond so readily and withdraw directly, the Shangliang army, including Shen Faxing, Shen Lun and others, was suddenly stunned.

Although there is a twelve-hour limit, it is still a bit unexpected that it is so quick!

"Father (Prince Shangliang)..."

Shen Lun and the representative of the great bandit Wenren Suian could not help but look at Shen Faxing and shouted.

"There's still one day left, no rush..."

Shen Faxing sighed inwardly, waved his hand in response, and then turned and left.

Shen Faxing naturally wouldn't surrender at this point, and he wasn't willing to do so. However, thinking about the current unsolvable war situation and the desperate situation, Shen Faxing was also extremely troubled and almost went crazy.

Most importantly, Hailing City's high walls and thick defenses, along with its million-strong army, gave Shen Faxing immense confidence and hope. He really didn't want to surrender and give up his ambition to dominate...

It’s like trying to pull chestnuts out of the fire. Who can easily give up their dreams and persistence until the last moment? ! ! !

soon……

As the Sui army outside the city began to retreat, the troops on top of the walls and below also began to evacuate en masse. Since a major war was not about to break out, there was no need to waste the troops' energy and mental strength!

"Report..."

"A large number of enemy troops have suddenly appeared outside the southern city wall. It is suspected that the main force of the Sui army from the south has arrived. Please, Your Highness, and the others, make a decision!"

Shen Faxing and others had just left the city and were on their way back to the City Lord's Mansion when a scout suddenly came to report.

"what?!"

Shen Faxing, Shen Lun, Jiang Yuanchao, Yin Qian and others all looked very different, obviously in disbelief.

According to the intelligence of the Shangliang Army, the Sui Army in the south just arrived at the bank of Tianjiang River not long ago, and will not arrive until the day after tomorrow at the earliest. The elites or strong ones may arrive tomorrow. This should be one of the main reasons why Madam Ronghua is willing to set the deadline as tomorrow!

How long has it been since the main force of the Southern Sui Army arrived?!

Even Madam Ronghua and the Eastern Sui Army don’t know?
"All troops, listen to my orders..."

"Attack the city! Attack the city with all your might!"

Before Shen Faxing and the Liang army generals could react, a burst of shouting for luck could be heard faintly.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

The war machinery outside the city, which had been silent for a long time, broke out again.

There was a loud roar, and dozens or even hundreds of large and small stones, with a loud sound of breaking through the air, fiercely smashed towards Hailing City with a huge momentum!

"..."

Not only Shen Faxing, but also the generals of Liang Army were a little confused!

Didn’t we just say we would withdraw our troops and discuss it again tomorrow?
Our generals had just come down from the city wall when the Sui army outside the city changed their minds and launched a full-scale attack on the city?
Are you still shameless? !
Do you still have credibility?!
"Boom, boom, boom..."

There were bursts of deafening noises, and some of the large and small stones were thrown over the wall and hit the city, telling Shen Faxing and others that the situation was correct!

Now the Sui army outside the city has changed its mind and is attacking the city with all its strength!

More importantly, the main force of the Southern Sui Army may have really arrived, otherwise the Eastern Sui Army would not have done this. A strong attack would obviously not be worth it and it would be difficult to capture!
……

Hailing City, a few miles outside the south city wall.

The 50,000 carefully selected Sui troops hid here quietly. Most of them were new recruits who had just joined the army but had not undergone qualified military training. They were mainly loyal, brave and good at fighting!
This time, Lady Ronghua's Eastern Sui army consisted of 100,000 elite soldiers from the Northern and Southern armies, plus 230,000 new troops. While fully equipped with weapons and armor, seemingly elite troops, most were in fact new recruits who hadn't even had time for military training, let alone their military proficiency.
"Star Soul Possession!"

Xiao Ying hovered in the air above the 50,000-strong army, dazzling blood light bloomed, and countless starlights that were difficult to detect with the naked eye enveloped the 50,000-strong army!

Different from the 270,000-strong army on the banks of Tianjiang River, the 50,000-strong army here are all possessed by entry-level star souls, mainly at the three levels of deputy gods, minor gods and hairy gods, and most of them are sixth or seventh-grade (dark power, transformation power) star souls!

For this raid, Xiao Ying also tried his best and did not consider the follow-up for the time being!
"Boom, boom, boom..."

As the stars fell from the sky, countless auras and momentum burst out, surging to several realms, and countless soldiers took advantage of this to break through.

"A victory in one battle, South City Wall! Kill!"

Without the support of war machines or the aid of a hail of powerful crossbows, Xiao Ying led 50,000 "elites" and launched a desperate charge directly towards the towering city wall that was over a hundred meters high...

Theoretically, if one reaches the seventh level of dark energy, one can use force to climb a hundred-meter-high city wall.

Star Spirit Possession is an external force, and without the corresponding Qinggong and other skills, it is difficult to climb a 100-meter-high wall. However, it is enough to bluff others and protect yourself!
