Chapter 681: Stone Tablet Falls from the Sky

At this moment, the enthusiasm of the brothers in the gathering hall was high. The sounds of fighting rose one after another, one wave higher than the other, shaking off the icicles on the tiles.

"Military Advisor, please tell me how we should attack. Dong Cheng is now defending the city and we can't just force our way in."

Liu Tang slammed the wine bottle on the table and asked at the top of his voice.

As the question was asked, Li Kui, Ruan Xiaoer and others echoed:

"Yes, military advisor, please tell me a plan. How should we act?"

"Hey, let me just charge straight ahead. I, Tie Niu, will be in front with my double axes to clear the way for you."

Song Jiang looked at the brothers who responded below, and his heart was filled with heroic spirit.

Wu Yong, who had been silent for a long time, glanced at Gongsun Sheng who was looking leisurely.

As if sensing something, Gongsun Sheng also looked towards Wu Yong. The moment their eyes met, they understood each other's thoughts.

Wu Yong stood up on the high platform and said loudly: "Now, Tang Chengbin has no more useful people under his command. The situation is hopeless. I suggest that we split into two groups, with Brother Song Jiang and Lu Junyi leading one group of troops each, and fight a quick battle."

"What do you think?"

When Wu Yong made the suggestion, there was naturally a chorus of agreement from below.

At this time, Liu Tang asked in a deep voice: "Military Advisor, you haven't answered my question yet. What should we do if Dong Cheng refuses to come out?"

Wu Yong's eyes flashed with a hint of coldness, but he smiled and said, "Brother Liu Tang, you asked a good question. Since Dong Cheng has chosen to hold his ground, I will ask him to open the city gate."

Although everyone was puzzled, Wu Yong did not explain. Instead, he glanced at Xiao Rang, Jin Dajian, Zhu Wu and others, and finally stopped at Gongsun Sheng and said, "Master Gongsun, Xiaoke's plan still requires your help."

Gongsun Sheng waved his whisk and said, "Military Advisor, please prepare yourself. I will take action when the time comes."

The two of them were playing dumb, which annoyed Li Kui. He shouted, "Military advisor, Taoist priest, what are you talking about? I don't understand."

Wu Yong smiled and shook his head, saying: "Brother Tieniu, you don't need to understand, you just need to obey Brother Gongming's orders."

"Brother Gongming, Commander Lu Junyi, it will be your turn to select the troops and generals. In three days, I will lead the Liangshan army to go to war, and we will do it in an upright and just manner."

Although Wu Yong's words were mysterious and everyone was confused, they still obeyed his orders.

The next day, the cold wind was still howling, but this time there were snowflakes mixed in it, falling to the ground like confetti.

Yunyan City in Tianming County is a strategic location for Liangshan's attack, so Dong Cheng led a large army to garrison here.

Dong Cheng, who was aware of the powerful Liangshan army, had been reinforcing the city walls and holding his ground, preparing for a protracted war with Liangshan. Some time ago, no matter how the Liangshan generals provoked him or shouted at him, Dong Cheng refused to come out of the city.

Winter came with freezing weather, making life even more difficult for the city dwellers who were already hungry and cold. Many people were freezing to death or starving to death on the streets.

Many people were fleeing, and it was common for them to fight over a bite of food, and it was not surprising that people were killed.

When they see a frozen body on the street, special personnel will carry it away and deal with it.

Dong Cheng stood on the city wall and saw everything, but he was powerless. He would not blame Yang Rong, who was in charge of Suzhou's government affairs.

Because all this was caused by Tang Zengbin. The heavy taxes and levies collected in the early days hurt the foundation of the people. Now that this situation has occurred, he is the culprit.

But as a subject, he could not stop all this. Moreover, the food and fodder issued to his soldiers had been reduced again and again, and it had reached the limit. Any further reduction would affect morale.

Therefore, he could only watch the scene in the city like this, without being able to do anything.

At noon, the cold wind finally stopped and the sun finally brought a hint of warmth to the earth. People gathered together, chatting and keeping warm at the foot of the wall.

Suddenly, the sky changed, sand and rocks flew everywhere, and a strong wind blew.

The originally clear sky was instantly covered by dark clouds. The layers of dark clouds were like surging waves, rolling and shrouding Yunyan City in depressing darkness.

Then, a blinding flash of lightning streaked across the sky, like a giant axe splitting the sky, splitting the thick clouds apart. Along with the deafening roar of thunder, it seemed as if the entire world was shaking in the roar.

The thunder rumbled endlessly, like a divine thunder descending to the earth, causing mountains to collapse and the earth to crack. It was like thousands of troops galloping and fighting in front of the ears, making the eardrums hurt.

Dong Cheng stood upright on the city wall, with no fear on his resolute face, standing there quietly like a statue; the soldiers all looked up at the strange sight in the sky with shock on their faces; the people in the city also stopped what they were doing, looking at the weather that was changing dramatically with thunder, their eyes full of fear.

Just as everyone was terrified, a huge fireball with a long tail whizzed down from the clouds like a meteor.

The fireball was surrounded by blazing flames, creating dazzling sparks along the way.

The scorching heat could be felt from a long distance away, and even the crackling sound of the surrounding air burning could be heard clearly.

"Boom--"

The fireball fell straight towards the northwest of Tianming County, and the moment it landed, it exploded into flames and smoke.

At this moment, what everyone didn't know was that when the fireball fell, several figures had been waiting here early. When they saw the burning fireball, they immediately carried a stone tablet and threw it into it.

After finishing everything, several figures quickly left the place.

The direction where the fireball fell was very far away from Yunyan City, but the thick smoke rising up was clearly visible when standing on the city.

Dong Cheng looked at the chaotic streets, which were like a boiling pot. Everyone was scrambling to discuss this issue. Even the soldiers on the city wall were standing by the wall with curious eyes, looking into the distance.

Dong Cheng's heart sank suddenly. Under such circumstances, such a strange phenomenon sent down by God made Dong Cheng feel a little fear in his heart.

"Everyone listen up. All soldiers are on patrol as usual. Tonight, we will double the number of patrols. Everyone should be more careful. All citizens, do not spread rumors. Keep your doors closed tonight and do not go out. Anyone who disobeys the order will be severely punished."

Dong Cheng's voice full of coercion resounded throughout Yunyan City and reached everyone's ears.

After a night passed and when it was bright, Dong Cheng silently climbed up the city wall.

He was worried about something might happen last night, so he stayed on the city wall all night without sleeping, and only slept for two hours in the early morning. Now, worried about something going wrong, he got up early in the morning.

But when he saw all the people whispering on the street, his heart suddenly skipped a beat and he thought something was wrong.

Sure enough, rumors about yesterday's events began to spread.

It turns out that the fireball that landed yesterday was not simple. It hit the ground, the fire went out, and a stone tablet was revealed.

The key point is that there are words engraved on the stone tablet, listing official titles and names.
