Both worlds are like dreams

On the seventh day after the gates of Muhua City were unsealed, the situation that everyone was most worried about finally happened.

One hundred thousand Tianqi border troops were at the gate of the city, and the people in the city were in panic.

Over the years, although Tianqi's border troops often harassed the people, the people were not so afraid because of Lu Wenxuan and the city defenders. However, this time was different. The food and grass in the city were about to run out. If the other side wanted a protracted war, the city would inevitably fall without food and grass supply.

Lu Wenxuan summoned the generals to discuss matters in the military tent at the city gate overnight. Xue Huang, Gu Qinglan, Wei Yunzhou and Xu Yao were also invited.

Xue Huang knew nothing about deploying troops, but everyone understood that manpower was not the problem; the biggest problem was food and fodder.

The reply from Qingzhou has arrived, but the transportation of food and fodder still takes time, and what they need is also time.

\"General Lu, we are running low on food and grass now. Do you have any good strategies to deal with the enemy?" Gu Qinglan looked at Lu Wenxuan and said.

Lu Wenxuan frowned slightly, "It will take another five days for Qingzhou's food and grass to arrive. We just need to hold on for five days."

"But the food and grass in the city can only last for two days at most." Gu Qinglan said.

Everyone was worried after hearing this. Food has always been the top priority. Without food, it would be like losing a backbone. This feeling made everyone uncomfortable.

\"We have survived battles that are more difficult than this one, and we will definitely win this time too!" Lu Wenxuan said firmly.

Wei Yunzhou, who had been silent, said, "What Muhua City needs is food and grass. Tianqi's 100,000-strong army also needs food and grass to march. This is our chance."

Lu Wenxuan reacted immediately, "There is a secret passage in the city that leads directly to the outside of the city. We can go around to the rear of the army and burn their food without attracting Tianqi's attention."

Gu Qinglan looked at Wei Yunzhou, "This is indeed a good opportunity, but it is also full of difficulties."

"I'll go." Wei Yunzhou said indifferently.

Xue Huang raised her eyebrows and looked at Wei Yunzhou, "Second Uncle, how sure are you?"

Wei Yunzhou didn't say anything.

"Perhaps there are other ways," Xue Huang said, "It would be best to defeat the enemy without fighting."

"Apocalypse has been planning for so long that he won't give us any time to breathe. He will definitely take the opportunity to launch a fierce attack on the city. We don't have much time left." Lu Wenxuan said.

Xu Yao stood up and looked at Wei Yunzhou, "Gather the people, you and I will set off together."

"I'll go with you." Xue Huang said immediately.

"No." Wei Yunzhou refused directly, "You can better help them defend the city if you stay."

Xue Huang was a little confused, then seemed to have thought of something, and her expression suddenly became clear, "I understand."

"Try to delay as much time as possible." Wei Yunzhou said. "Keep them on the battlefield."

Xue Huang nodded.

Lu Wenxuan also said: "Princess, don't worry. I will send a team of elite soldiers to the two of you to command. We will swear to protect them and bring them back safely."

"Second Uncle, be careful." Xue Huang warned.

Wei Yunzhou stood up neatly and said calmly, "It's better to worry about yourself."

Xue Huang twitched her lips and looked at Wei Yunzhou and Xu Yao's vigorous and decisive appearance, wondering if it was necessary to act cool at this time?

After Wei Yunzhou and Xu Yao prepared everything and secretly left the city, Xue Huang and Gu Qinglan climbed up to the city wall.

This was the first time Xue Huang saw a battlefield. A hundred thousand soldiers stood under the city, like a dark cloud pressing down on the city. The sound of horns and drums shocked her eardrums, reminding her of the battlefield that Mr. Guigu had told them about when they were young.

I just feel that this scene, the sad sound of the trumpets, the majestic sound of the war drums, and the clanging sound of swords and halberds, are not even one-tenth of what is described in the book.

The soldiers on the city wall were on full alert, facing the densely packed army below the city wall. They held spears and bows and arrows, but their eyes were filled with determination, as if they could die on the battlefield at any time.

"Is this a battlefield? Is it so desolate even before the fighting starts?" Xue Huang sighed.

Gu Qinglan didn't say anything.

Xue Huang noticed that he looked different and asked with concern, "What's wrong with you?"

"When I was young, I followed my father to war and saw the battlefield. It was extremely tragic, and every time a war broke out, tens of millions of people would be displaced."

"But there will always be casualties in war," Xue Huang said.

"The nine nations are constantly at war, and it is the common people who suffer the most."

Xue Huang looked down at the city wall. Tianqi's general was Ji Cheng, the defender of Pingyang City. He had already sent his capable generals to challenge the enemy in front of the battle line.

Lu Wenxuan led a team of troops to meet the enemy in front of the city gate.

"General Lu," the bearded man on the other side said arrogantly, "Do you have enough food and grass in the city? If not, you might as well kneel down and beg for mercy. Our general treats prisoners of war quite well."

"Ji Cheng," Lu Wenxuan said calmly, "Do you have no one under your command? Is such a person qualified to shout in my Beiling territory?"

Ji Cheng sneered, "Lu Wenxuan, you are worthy of being the gatekeeper of Beiling. With the current situation in your city, you are really brave to fight against my 100,000-strong army of Tianqi."

"What about 100,000? What about 200,000? You trample on my territory and kill my people. My Beiling soldiers are determined to kill you shameless villains."

He was the defending general of Muhua City. Over the years, he had fought against the enemy countless times and he had never been afraid.

Today, he is even more fearless and vows to fight Ji Cheng to the death!

As soon as he finished speaking, he rode his horse and rushed forward with spear in hand. The sound of drums behind him was like thunder. In just one round, the opponent who challenged him was stabbed to death on the spot.

This move immediately shocked the morale of the soldiers in Muhua City, and they shouted loudly and became excited.

\"good!\"

\"General, you are mighty!\"

"..."

This shot directly dampened Tianqi's momentum. Everyone looked at the young general wearing silver armor and holding a spear as he stood in front of the battle. Over the years, everyone in Pingyang City knew how powerful he was. Even after experiencing a plague, he was still the invincible legend.

Ji Cheng's face became extremely gloomy when he saw that his subordinates were easily defeated by Lu Wenxuan.

He drew his sword and rode to the front of the battle array. "Lu Wenxuan, I'm here to meet you!"

Lu Wenxuan looked at Ji Cheng, his heart also filled with anger. He rushed forward with a spear in hand, "I just happened to want to meet you."

The sword in Ji Cheng's hand swung out a cold light pointing directly at Lu Wenxuan's throat.

Lu Wenxuan narrowed his eyes slightly and waved the spear in his hand.

The two of them exchanged moves, you were faster and I was slower, and in a blink of an eye, dozens of moves were exchanged.

With a loud "bang!", the weapons of the two men collided with each other, sparks flew, and the two men were in a stalemate for a while.

Xue Huang, who had been watching the battle from the tower, said, "This man's martial arts skills are inferior to General Lu, but General Lu is injured and is no match for him."

Gu Qinglan naturally knew that Lu Wenxuan had broken two ribs before and had not fully recovered yet, but he was determined to go to the battlefield in person because he represented the military soul of Muhua City and was also the hope of the people of Muhua.

"I'll go help him." Gu Qinglan walked down the city wall holding the Bi Hai Sword, and Xue Huang followed closely behind him.

After Ji Cheng and Lu Wenxuan fought several times, he saw that Lu Wenxuan was injured. His eyes suddenly became sinister, and his attack became more ruthless.

Lu Wenxuan struggled to resist his attack, his face instantly turned pale as paper, and the hand holding the spear was shaking constantly.

Ji Cheng sneered, "God is helping me, Lu Wenxuan, I admit that you are very strong, but you won't be so lucky this time." As soon as he finished speaking, the sword in his hand danced out a series of afterimages and attacked Lu Wenxuan.

At this time, Lu Wenxuan felt the pain in his broken ribs was unbearable, and he couldn't even lift the gun. In the end, he could only hold the gun horizontally in front of him to block the fierce attack. But the violent impact made his body fly backwards and fall off the horse.

He could only thrust his spear into the ground, and then use the resistance of the ground to stabilize his body.

Ji Cheng refused to let him go and chased after him with sword in hand again.

Lu Wenxuan looked at the other person with cold and firm eyes.

But at this moment, a cold sword energy came from behind Lu Wenxuan and went towards Ji Cheng.

Ji Cheng quickly blocked it and looked at the blue-clothed figure that flew in front of Lu Wenxuan. "Who are you?"

"My name is Gu Qinglan."

Ji Cheng narrowed his eyes, "Your last name is Gu? Who is Gu Rongchuan to you?"

"It's my father."
