"It’s, it’s Marquis Qin Wu!!!"
"Retreat, retreat!"
Panicked voices carried through the wind.
Li Guanyi led a great army of three hundred thousand, effortlessly sweeping through several outposts stationed outside the city by Lu Youxian, and then sent out three divisions of troops, galloping forward for dozens of miles, arriving in an instant.
A majestic Heroic Pass stood here.
This fortress at the Heroic Pass was refurbished by Lu Youxian based on the original Chen Country’s border fortifications with the Western Regions, reinforced and strengthened through generations, and constructed as both an Inner City and Outer City structure, nearly pushing the defensive concepts of the Military School to their ultimate limit.
Even the Wolf King couldn’t gnaw through this tough bone.
As Li Guanyi sat atop the Qilin and arrived before the West Suppression Heroic Pass, even he felt a sense of being at a loss — the solid fortress, the gigantic chanical crossbows crisscrossing atop the city walls, and the faintly looming formation atop the city.
Too solid.
Such a complete fortress, coupled with Lu Youxian’s combat skills, could withstand an attack from three hundred thousand with rely fifty thousand troops, backed by the inland of Chen Country, with continuous logistical support, representing an all-around defense.
So battle generals from the Western Regions had faces turning a shade of blue.
"No wonder it’s Lu Youxian; such a defensive fortress is nearly impossible to conquer using conventional thods."
"Even the defensive formation is in place."
"No frills whatsoever, just pure force and power."
Li Guanyi asked, "Mr. Yuan Zhi, is there any way to take this city?"
Yuan Zhi, already in his thirties, rode alongside Li Guanyi, looked from afar at the magnificent city pass, and replied, "Lord, this fortress itself is a result of Chen Country’s continuous reinforcent, and Lu Youxian is present."
"Enough to drag everyone into the most brutal defense battle."
"Moreover, the first line of defense of the city is already extrely difficult to conquer, and Lu Youxian has built this fortress into an Inner City and Outer City structure. After fighting off the Outer City, elite troops and civilians retreat into the Inner City, turning the invading siege army into living targets."
"The retreat space is compressed; Lu Youxian’s high walls and heavy crossbow cavalry archery, even heavy armor and shields can’t withstand."
Li Guanyi asked, "Is that so?"
Mr. Yuan Zhi said, "As of now, we can only rely on the backup left by Wen He. Lu Youxian’s defense and city defense battle have reached the pinnacle of this era; in a frontal defensive battlefield, apart from exhausting, no one can defeat him."
Li Guanyi replied, "Only this then."
The Qilin Army was stationed outside the West Suppression Heroic Pass, banners stretching far, and exceptional talents from the martial world used Qi Observation and Qi Observation Skill to look on, seeing the Military School’s murderous aura rising to the sky, stretching for over ten miles, all exceptionally astonished.
Those in the city likewise felt the sa. Colonels and generals stood atop the city walls, holding arrows, looking from afar, could see the army under Marquis Qin Wu, imposing and towering, a contemporary top-tier army.
Previously, the strongest battle general in Chen Country of this era was Wolf King Chen Fubi.
And the strongest battle general in Ying Country was the undeniably Grandmaster Jiang Su.
Li Guanyi clashed head-on on the Western Regions battlefield against these two countries’ strongest, strategy or not, whether these top-notch fad generals were reckless or adventurous or not, in the eyes of the Military School, a win is a win.
Even with Lu Youxian present, the morale of the city’s soldiers and officers still couldn’t be considered high.
Li Guanyi’s reputation and battle achievents were already enough to suppress their morale.
Li Guanyi let Nangong Wung wander around, perhaps he could find so gap, Nangong Wung rolled his eyes but still obediently went out for a walk, yet Lu Youxian’s defenses were so tight that even with blessings as high as Nangong Wung had no solutions.
Mr. Lei, Pan Wanxiu, and Gongsun Huaizhi looked at the city defense system, scratching their heads to no avail, unable to think of a breakthrough.
Qibi Li and the battle techniques specializing in the Western Regions by various generals were completely unsuitable.
To so extent, Fan Qing’s battle technique, similar to Lu Youxian’s, frowned, encountering a fully similar style but extrely stable opponent, whose combat experience and overall situation judgnt completely covered himself, making Fan Qing rather helpless.
Mr. Yuan Zhi’s Eight Gates Golden Lock Formation couldn’t lock down this old tortoise.
This guy just wouldn’t co out.
Won’t co out for a challenge, send won’s clothing, Lu Youxian specially had maids wearing won’s clothing, dancing and playing music on the city walls, and had soldiers loudly shout thanks to the Lord for the won’s clothing, saying they were comfortably worn, if willing, please send so of good quality.
These cheap goods disappoint Lord’s status indeed.
All across the walls of the West Suppression Heroic City, every fifteenth step a soldier, hands cupped around mouths, loudly shouted in different regional dialects, these cheap goods, the comfortable shouting voices, rose and fell, transmitted for miles, the sound echoing.
Li Guanyi’s forehead twitched.
Lu Youxian, from tactics, to combat skills, to battle formations, to spirit.
Not a trace of flaw.
He’s what’s called a faultless general.
Though lacking illustrious achievents, ranked not high on the Divine General List before the chaotic era, after the battle of Jiang Su, and various Western Regions battles, Lu Youxian’s ranking rapidly rose to fourteenth.
Conversely, Xiao Wuliang due to arm severance, fallen general.
Already dropped to twenty-seventh.
Nangong Wung returned later loudly mocking cheap goods.
Got his forehead flicked by Li Guanyi, not with force, but still sowhat hurt, Nangong scread miserably, "Ah, softer, softer, can’t I not laugh at you anymore? No more laughing, no more laughing."
