Black Fairy, the master is a female ghost

Lu Xunhuan led a large army to besiege Luocheng, and the siege lasted for another month.

Within a month, two groups of reinforcements arrived. The first group had 100,000 people, and the second group had only 30,000 people.

They couldn't escape once they came and were all wiped out here.

At this time in the south, the Southern Liang army had ended the battle and occupied two southern states.

In the west and north, the Western Chu army fought dozens of battles with Zhou Shang and gradually annihilated the main force of Zhou Shang.

Most of the three northwestern states fell into the hands of the Western Chu people, and the last few county towns were under siege and fierce fighting.

It has been two months since Lu Xunhuan led his troops out, and the losses among the 300,000-strong army have been astonishing.

Dong Yan’s food and supplies were already running low.

He dragged his feet and delayed his march to Kyoto, which made His Majesty the King quite dissatisfied.

So he sent the imperial edict urgently over 800 miles, asking him to attack Kyoto City immediately and end the battle as soon as possible.

Lu Xunhuan knew it was almost time.

If we wait any longer, the national grain reserves will probably be empty.

So he gathered all his troops and surrounded the city with 300,000 soldiers.

Last week, the soldiers of the Kingdom of Zhou were besieged in Luocheng for two months and were almost out of food. They also witnessed the ferocity of the Eastern Yan army, so how could they still want to fight?

As soon as Lu Xunhuan started to prepare, a white flag was immediately raised on the city wall.

Thus, the four major city gates were all opened.

The Eastern Yan army entered the city, received prisoners, and took over Luocheng.

After Lu Xunhuan asked the captives to surrender their weapons, he released them and let them go home.

Afterwards, he comforted the people of Luocheng.

Three days later, he left 100,000 soldiers to guard Luo City and ensure the smooth flow of logistics supply lines.

The remaining 200,000 soldiers, carrying siege weapons, followed him and marched towards Kyoto.

At this time last week, only Kyoto Prefecture was left.

Apart from the troops guarding Kyoto City, there are almost no troops available outside.

The army had a smooth journey without encountering any obstacles.

Fifteen days later, the entire army arrived outside the east gate of Kyoto.

Outside the west gate of Kyoto City is a wide river, which Lu Xunhuan has seen before.

Outside the east gate are flat land and hills.

Originally there were sentry posts on many mountains, but due to the wartime need for manpower, all the soldiers at the sentry posts went to the front line.

All the outposts here are deserted.

After Lu Xunhuan led the army there, he deployed his battle formation, extending from the foot of the mountain to a hundred feet outside the east city gate.

On the city wall, there were soldiers from the Imperial Guard and the Cavalry Battalion guarding.

Of course, there were also many ministers standing on the city walls watching the enemy situation.

When they saw the 200,000-strong army of Eastern Yan deployed, they were so imposing.

When they saw hundreds of towering catapults lined up in a row by Dongyan.

Many ministers even had trembling calves.

As for the city of Kyoto, there are only 20,000 guards and 50,000 cavalry battalions, which is the total number of troops.

The city of Kyoto originally had a population of one million.

But in the past two months, everyone has fled. The city, which originally had a population of one million, is now deserted on the streets. I'm afraid it may not even have 200,000 residents.

Lu Xunhuan said to a general beside him, "You pretend to be me and shout to Kyoto City."

"Have their king, Xia Yu, surrender the city walls. My Eastern Yan army will guarantee that no civilians will be harmed. The king will be spared and given a few acres of land."

"If you resist stubbornly, you will perish together with us."

The general obeyed the order and rode his horse forward ten feet.

Then, he yelled at the top of his lungs, "Listen up, people of Jingdu City! I, Lu Chengfeng, have come here on the orders of the King of Dongyan to take over every inch of land in Jingdu Prefecture."

"Let your King Xia Yu surrender and leave the city. I, Dong Yan, will not kill him. Instead, I will give him a few acres of land and let him farm."

"If you surrender, my army will enter the city without harming the people."

"If you resist stubbornly, then, I'm sorry, rivers of blood will flow, and everything will be destroyed."

He shouted three times outside the city before turning his horse around and returning to the ranks.

Lu Xunhuan hid among the soldiers and observed the city wall for a while.

He is not quite sure how many troops are left in Kyoto City, nor is he sure whether there are any immortals here to defend Kyoto City.

It is even more unclear whether there are any immortal masters hiding in the city.

He now urgently needs to capture a prisoner to find out the situation.

After looking for a while, he suddenly saw a familiar figure among the soldiers walking on the city wall.

Isn’t that Indigo?

Why did she come to Kyoto City instead of staying in the Zhongzhou City branch of the Immortal Friends Association?

Moreover, Qingdai was wearing the uniform of a Zhou Dynasty soldier, which meant that there might be disciples of immortals mixed among the soldiers defending the city.

If he attacked the city rashly, it can be imagined that with the help of immortal disciples to guard the city, the Eastern Yan army would suffer heavy casualties.

He wanted to capture Kyoto City, but it was obvious that Kyoto City was a tough nut to crack.

He pondered for a while, then gave the order: "The entire army retreats two miles and sets up camp on the spot, with chariots guarding the perimeter."

On the city wall, the ministers and soldiers of the Zhou Dynasty watched the Eastern Yan army retreat.

Then, he watched as the Dong Yan people erected a long wooden wall, and the Dong Yan soldiers set up camp behind the wooden wall.

Many people couldn't understand it and were discussing it on the city wall.

"Will a wooden wall keep them safe?"

"What the hell are the Dongyan people doing?"

"Can the people of Dongyan fight?"

In the battle of Los Angeles, none of the soldiers who went to reinforce Los Angeles returned alive.

Therefore, the capital city of Kyoto still has no idea how the Dongyan people fought.

Everyone was confused as they watched the Eastern Yan soldiers erect a wooden wall and set up camp behind it.

The Sixth Prince appeared on the city wall. He looked outside for a while, then turned to a general and whispered, "After dark, have the immortal disciples leave the city and launch a surprise attack to test the enemy's combat power."

The general saluted: "Yes, Your Majesty."

At the foot of the hill outside the city, in Lu Xunhuan's tent, he spoke to Elder Liu and Elder Long.

"I saw immortal disciples among the soldiers on the city wall. This means that Kyoto City may have invited some immortal disciples to help. The number is unknown, but it should not be underestimated."

Elder Liu stroked his beard.

"Oh, if those immortal disciples come to attack at night, the soldiers may not be able to stop them. Although we are powerful, we only have four hands after all. We can't protect everyone one by one."

Lu Xunhuan thought for a moment, called a general in, and gave him some instructions.

Then he climbed up the mountain behind and disappeared.

An hour later, Lu Xunhuan was swimming naked in a canal near the west gate of Kyoto City.

He swam in from the big river outside the west city.

After surfacing, he treated himself as a resident of Kyoto City and swam confidently.

It's early summer now, so it's not surprising that some people are swimming.

An old man on the shore saw him and asked, "Young man, how can you still have the time to swim when the army is approaching?"

Lu Xun Huan said, "The battle is about to begin. As the saying goes, 'Mother River, Mother River.' I will swim in my mother's arms for a while, to be close to her for one last time, and then I will prepare to die."

The old man praised: "Well said, but the water is still a little cold, you'd better get up."

Of course, Lu Xunhuan was not pretentious. When the old man asked him to get up, he got up.

But after getting up, he looked everywhere for his clothes: "Hey, my clothes were clearly placed here, where are they?"

The old man said, "During this chaotic war, it must have been lost. Don't look for me, I have it at home."

He brought Lu Xunhuan into the house and took out a set of clothes.

"My son went to the western battlefield. I heard he suffered a terrible defeat. I think he's already died. If you don't mind his clothes..."

Lu Xun Huan took the clothes and said, "Don't mind. Cover up your shame and go back to change into your military uniform."

He was wearing clothes and said, "Old man, why don't you run away? We are under siege by the Three Kingdoms. I'm afraid we can't hold Kyoto City."

The old man said, "Run, where to run? I'm just sitting here. If the Dongyan people come, come and kill me. I'm the only one left in my family. Only if I die can I reunite with my family over there."

Lu Xunhuan quickly put on his clothes: "Okay, thank you, old man, I'm leaving now."
