Chapter 172
The moment Zhao Longyuan was looking forward to finally arrived.

Xiahou Wuji and Ximenyou respectively received the emperor's secret letter and started to act, leading the army to Dali City.

Zhao Longyuan also took the opportunity to follow closely behind the army, stunned some of the soldiers, cast [Disguise], pretended to be the opponent's appearance, and mixed into the army.

Xiahou Wuji's march was very fast, and within ten days, he arrived outside Dali City.

A few days later, Ximen You's army followed suit.

The two armies set up camp outside the city to communicate with each other.

On this day, Xiahou Wuji also came to Ximen You's military camp to meet him.

Zhao Longyuan was still hiding among them, carefully looking at everything in front of him.

Seeing Xiahou Wuji in high spirits, full of ambition, he cupped his hands and said, "General Ximen, I finally met you. Counting it, you and I haven't seen each other for ten years, right?"

Ximenyou's expression was calm: "That's right, at least ten years."

Xiahou Wuji: "General Ximen, you are still so calm."

Ximen You: "This is my personality. It's like you like to make contributions and be named a marquis."

Xiahou Wuji asked back, "Don't you think General Ximen doesn't want to?"

Ximen You shook his head: "I am loyal to the Emperor only to fight against the Empress Dowager and do the work of a dog."

Xiahou Wuji smiled and said: "It seems that you and I have different ambitions, but it doesn't matter, we have to meet the Lord of the Ming Dynasty, and we are destined to achieve a great career and be famous in history."

Ximen You: "You are right. The emperor is not only good at forbearance, but also very courageous. If given the opportunity, he will definitely win the world."

Xiahou Wuji: "At that time, you and I will have created great achievements for all generations, and I will be extremely happy!"

Then, he changed the subject: "Let's talk about General Dugu? You and I have seen his strength, General Ximen, what do you think is the chance of winning if we join forces?"

Ximen You's face darkened: "Dali City is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and there are a lot of food supplies. If you want to forcibly attack the city, I'm afraid it will be quite difficult."

Xiahou Wuji: "Don't be afraid, I can send cavalry to harass the food transportation lines in Dali City, making their food and grass unstable and unable to maintain their combat effectiveness. After a long time, they will not be able to support it."

Ximen You: "In addition to your tactics, we also need to send surprise soldiers, otherwise, Dugubing will also find a way to deal with your harassment tactics, and do the opposite."

"And as far as I know, his formation is extremely difficult to deal with. Once he uses a powerful formation to deal with it, our hundreds of thousands of troops may not be an opponent."

Xiahou Wuji frowned slightly, and nodded: "That's right, General Dugu has studied formations very deeply. If you go to war with him, you will inevitably face his formations."

Ximen You: "Yes, you and I will attack the city tonight. While attacking the city, you will send another cavalry unit to directly cut off the opponent's food transportation route."

"If Dugu Bing uses formations to deal with us, it depends on the situation. If he is no match, immediately lead the army to retreat."

Xiahou Wuji nodded: "Okay, it's a deal, and we will send [-] cavalry to prepare for a sneak attack on the opponent's grain transportation route."

Zhao Longyuan listened to the conversation between the two in the dark, with many thoughts in his heart.

The system prompts: "A new spy mission has been started."

Mission objective: Protect Xiahou Wuji and Ximenyou from being killed by the enemy.

Mission reward: [Galaxy Swordsmanship] upgraded to proficiency level.

He couldn't help but nod, preparing for a fierce battle.

That night, Xiahou Wuji sent a cavalry force of 2 people and rushed to the outside of Dali City at the fastest speed.

Then, the two armies, one in front and one behind, launched a siege.

The 60 troops in the city were still half asleep and half awake, and they were violently attacked.

Sharp arrows hit like raindrops, as well as countless shells fired by artillerymen with cannons.

The entire Dali City was immediately under fierce artillery fire.

"Boom boom boom!" Many soldiers on the city wall were killed, and some were shot through by sharp arrows.

Fortunately, Dugu Bing reacted very quickly and immediately commanded his army to defend.

The artillery in the city began to counterattack.

The archers also bent their bows and set their arrows, hiding in the arrow stacks behind the city wall and shooting.

Cannonballs and arrows from both sides continued to fall on the other side's positions, killing soldiers.

The cavalry and infantry of the two armies began to hit the city gate, trying to break into the city.

Zhao Longyuan also stood there, watching the scene in front of him, as if watching a movie, and his heart was shocked.

His thoughts are not all here, but he is staying beside Xiahou Wuji and Ximenyou, ready to strike at any time.

But at this moment, Dugu Bing suddenly sent out a large army, forming a long snake formation. Headed by General Dongfang Ba, he led a hundred thousand cavalry and rushed towards the two armies.

Zhao Longyuan also saw Dongfang Ba.

This man was wearing light black iron armor, holding a spear, tall and tall, with a long face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, full of murderous intent.

Dongfang Ba shouted: "Come on! Kill Ximen You or Xiahou Wuji, and reward him with a thousand taels of silver!"

[Overlord marksmanship! 】He also brandished a long spear and charged at an extremely fast speed.

Many infantrymen wanted to use shields to resist, but the shields were pierced directly by the spears as soon as they touched the spears. Even people were pierced and fell to the ground.

It was an incomparable force, no one could stop the point of the spear.

Under the leadership of Dongfang Ba, the one hundred thousand cavalry also showed terrifying fighting power, broke through the formation of the two armies, and rushed towards the camp.

Ximen You showed a worried look: "Sure enough, it's here, let's retreat."

Xiahou Wuji: "It may be too late for us to retreat now, Dongfang Ba will rush over soon."

Ximen You: "Then we have to retreat, we can't die in vain."

While the two were talking, Dongfang Ba had already rushed over, holding the spear tightly with both hands, stabbing Ximenyou's chest obliquely from bottom to top.

Ximen You immediately swung his long sword to resist.

"Dang!" He was knocked into the air and fell to the ground, suffering minor injuries.

"Should die!" Dongfang Ba also brandished his spear, stabbing the opponent's throat.

[Consonant fingering! 】Zhao Longyuan was well prepared, stepped forward, stretched out his right hand with two fingers, and directly clamped the tip of the opponent's spear.

Dongfang Ba thought that he would succeed, but when he saw that the spear was restrained, he couldn't help being stunned: "Is there no one in the world who can stop my general's spear? Who are you?"

Zhao Longyuan said with a smile: "I'm just a soldier, nothing to worry about."

Dongfang Ba sneered and took back his spear, swinging it again to sweep across.

Zhao Longyuan immediately jumped up to avoid it.

While dodging, he also pulled out the [jasper knife] and cast the [shattering mad knife].

Zhao Longyuan swung the saber backhand, releasing a half-moon-shaped flaming saber energy, flying towards the opponent's chest.

Dongfang Ba didn't neglect either, and brandished his long spear across his chest.

"Bang!" Zhao Longyuan's saber energy was blocked, he also flew up, swung his saber across, and slashed at the opponent's throat.
