Chapter 134: The Battle of Daizhou City

The next day.

Chu Feng awoke from his slumber.

Upon waking, he immediately saw the beautiful woman lying quietly in his arms.

The storm of last night had washed away her youthful innocence, making her mature and full of charm.

He touched her skin with his hand; it was firm yet soft.

Chu Feng gazed at her pretty little face; satisfaction hung upon it, and a smile graced the corners of her mouth.

At this moment, Lu Shuwan seemed to sense that Chu Feng was gazing at her.

She slowly opened her eyes.

The first thing she saw was Chu Feng quietly gazing at her.

"Gen... General!"

"Are you awake?"

"Mm!"

Lu Shuwan nodded shyly.

Although the two had already shared intimacy, she still felt a bit bashful at this moment.

Chu Feng gave her a domineering kiss.

Lu Shuwan's mind went blank for a moment, but she immediately responded passionately.

A long while later.

The two finally separated, reluctant to part.

"You expended a lot of energy last night, so stay in Anwu County to hold the fort; I will lead the troops to provide support!"

"No, I want to go with you!"

Lu Shuwan hugged Chu Feng tightly and said with deep affection, "Ah Feng, don't leave me, okay? Wherever you go, I want to follow you; even if it is a mountain of blades or a sea of flames, not even life or death can separate us."

"Alright, we will go together!"

"Mm!"

Lu Shuwan nodded heavily.

After getting out of bed.

She began to attend to her husband's daily needs just like a virtuous wife.

After finishing, she helped him put on his armor.

"Let's go, the soldiers are waiting for us."

"Alright!"

The two headed straight for the drill ground together.

The drill ground.

Tens of thousands of soldiers had already fully assembled.

Their military bearing was strict, and their morale was high.

Pair after pair of eyes watched Chu Feng on the command platform with focused attention.

This man had led them through life and death, fighting countless hard battles.

Every battle had ended with their side achieving victory.

By now, he had completely integrated into the bloodline of this army, becoming their spiritual pillar.

As long as he was there, no matter how difficult the battle, they would achieve final victory.

"Brothers, I had intended to hold a grand victory banquet for everyone, but the enemy has not given us any chance to catch our breath."

"Just a few days ago, the remnant forces of the Xiongnu under the Right Wise King defected to Great Chu, and Great Chu has even mobilized six hundred thousand troops to station at our Great Wei's Yushan Fortress, threatening Daizhou City."

"This will be another bloody battle!"

"Brothers, I ask you, are you afraid?"

The crowd shouted in unison.

"Not afraid!"

"Not afraid!"

"Not afraid!"

"Good, worthy of being the soldiers I, Chu Feng, have trained! All officers, hear my command!"

Chu Feng drew his blade and shouted with his arm raised, "Annihilate the Chu barbarians, recover Yushan!"

"Annihilate the Chu barbarians, recover Yushan!"

"Annihilate the Chu barbarians, recover Yushan!"

"Annihilate the Chu barbarians, recover Yushan!"

"March out, advance toward Dai Prefecture!"

The scene shifts.

Daizhou City.

"Attack, ensure Daizhou City is taken before dark!"

"Understood!"

Great General Murong Hao of Great Chu issued the combat order, and his deputy general immediately received the command and left.

Soon.

The Chu Army and the Xiongnu army, surging like a tide, rushed toward Daizhou City with the force of a landslide.

"All troops, meet the enemy!"

On the city walls.

Countless Wei Army soldiers stood ready in battle formation.

Archers drew their longbows one after another.

The teams responsible for boulders and logs were also prepared, waiting for the Chu Army to reach the foot of the city walls to deliver a fatal blow.

Rumble!

"Ah!"

"Ah!"

"Ah!"

"Attack the city, attack the city, attack the city for me! No one is allowed to retreat even half a step; those who disobey will be beheaded!"

The general assisting the siege waved the battle blade in his hand.

He constantly urged his soldiers to fight with all their might.

If anyone dared to desert in the face of battle, the first thing they would face was the long blade in his hand.

However, because the defenses of Daizhou City were tight and the Wei Army resisted to the death, the city had not been taken despite days of rotating attacks.

During this period, the Supervision Team had lost count of how many soldiers they had cut down for deserting, to the point that their blades were nearly notched.

But if one looked closely, they would discover that those who were cut down were basically all Xiongnu soldiers.

"You... you all... you all..."

The Right Wise King of the Xiongnu felt his heart dripping blood at this moment.

These were all the excellent sons of their grasslands!

Just like that, they had become the most worthless cannon fodder in the eyes of others.

Over this period of time.

The Chu Army had launched more than twenty attacks, and in every single one, they made the Xiongnu soldiers the first wave.

The goal was to exhaust the energy of the Wei Army within Daizhou City, so that the Chu Army could then launch an attack and reap the benefits.

Facing such an unreasonable situation, the Right Wise King dared to be angry but dared not speak.

There was no other way.

Now the Chu Army was the sole power, occupying an absolute advantage, and their two hundred thousand troops were nothing more than dogs taken in by others.

Since they were acting as dogs, they had to fulfill the duties of a dog.

"Damn it, these Chu Army bastards have really found a sucker, attacking the city day and night!"

The city defense general Liu Hao cursed.

At the very beginning, he had confronted the Right Wise King, and both sides had had their share of victories and defeats.

Ever since the Chu Army stationed themselves in Yushan City, he had not left the city again.

Furthermore, the Chu Army continuously dispatched the Xiongnu army to attack the city day after day, and each offensive was more rapid than the last.

Daizhou City was not a military fortress to begin with, and cracks had already appeared in several sections of the wall.

He believed that it would not be long before the Chu Army and the Xiongnu army tore open a gap from these cracks and invaded the city.

"Old General, the Chu Army is attacking very fiercely. Daizhou City is likely difficult to hold for long. Once the city falls, we will likely become turtles in a jar, and the consequences will be unimaginable!"

"If we abandon Daizhou City, the Chu Army will drive straight in and press toward Miantan. Miantan is the gateway to the Capital; once it falls, the Capital will be in danger!"

"Then we..."

"Defend Daizhou City to the death! Those who disobey, behead them!"

"This... yes!"

Liu Hao had no choice but to agree.

However, when he left, there was a meaningful look on his face.

"Lu Tianzong, do you dare to come up and fight!"

A figure suddenly appeared in the air.

The person who arrived was none other than the Great General of Chu, Murong Hao.

"Hmph, boy, do you really think this old man is afraid of you!" Lu Tianzong flashed and likewise flew into the high sky to confront Murong Hao.

"Lu Tianzong, as the saying goes, those who understand the times are heroes. Daizhou City is on the verge of falling, and Great Wei is tottering. Why don't you take this opportunity to lead your troops to surrender to our Great Chu? I guarantee you will still be the Duke of Chen."

"Hmph, enough nonsense. In our Great Wei, there have only ever been generals who would rather die than surrender, never those who would bend the knee. Since you dare to invade our Great Wei, then be prepared to be annihilated!"

"Hehe, is that so?"

Murong Hao gave a cold laugh, then pointed to Daizhou City and said, "It's a pity that not everyone is as stubborn as you!"

"What!"

Lu Tianzong hurriedly turned his head to look.

He saw that the south gate of Daizhou City had been thrown wide open, and countless Chu Army and Xiongnu soldiers were pouring in, quickly occupying quite a large area.

"Liu Hao, you traitor!"

Lu Tianzong cursed loudly.

He immediately wanted to go to the south gate to provide support, but was unexpectedly blocked by Murong Hao.

"Lu Tianzong, your opponent is me!"

"Ya!"

Lu Tianzong's eyes were splitting with rage, and he took the initiative to launch an attack on Murong Hao.

Murong Hao drew his blade and engaged in a fierce battle with Lu Tianzong.

In just a moment.

The two had already exchanged no fewer than several hundred rounds.

Boom!

After a large-scale clash of moves, the two of them instantly pulled apart.

"Well now, it's been many years, your cultivation has certainly grown, kid."

"Heh, Lu Tianzong, you're old!" Murong Hao mocked.

"You..."

"Ugh!"

Lu Tianzong could not help but clutch his chest.

Because the battle had been too intense just now, the hidden injuries inside his body were ultimately aggravated.

"Hmph, a tiger suffering from a serious illness, you don't have many days of prestige left, Lu Tianzong, prepare to meet your end!"

Murong Hao launched a fierce attack once again.

Daizhou City was already within his grasp.

As long as he dealt with this eyesore of an old fellow before him, this farce that had lasted for many days could finally come to an end.

"Ah!"

Lu Tianzong let out a miserable scream again.

Due to the aggravation of his hidden injuries, he simply could not unleash his full strength.

Just now, he had been struck directly in a vital point by a palm from Murong Hao.

"Ah, damn it!"

Lu Tianzong wiped the corner of his mouth and prepared to continue fighting, trembling.

"Hahahaha..."

"Lu Tianzong, go to your death in peace; your head shall become the stepping stone for my promotion!"

Facing Murong Hao's renewed assault.

Lu Tianzong had already given up on resisting.

With the aggravation of his hidden injuries added to being heavily wounded by his opponent, he no longer had the strength to fight.

"Sigh, it seems this old man must take his leave first!"

Lu Tianzong chose to close his eyes.

The figures of countless people flashed through his mind.

There was his granddaughter, his son, Shen Tang, and Chu Feng.

Just as Murong Hao believed he was about to achieve final victory, a massive commotion broke out in his rear guard.
