A moment later, Lord Zou appeared in front of everyone wearing heavy armor.

As the saying goes, when the battlefield is called, the king of Zou State is now a martial arts field. Several elite troops of Zou State gather here, and the remaining other troops gathered quickly from all over the country.

The king of Zou State was wearing armor and spoke slowly, and his voice was conveyed above the square: "Dear soldiers, what I was wearing is the former king of Zou State, that is, the armor my father once wore."

"In the 770th year of the New Calendar, the general of Wei State, Long Qi led his troops to invade the territory. He wore this armor to lead the warriors of Zou to face the enemy. The two sides fought fiercely in Baishuicheng. Wei State once thought of annexing our Zou State. The battle lasted for three days and three nights. In the end, the Wei State had exhausted its food and grass and had to withdraw its troops."

"In that war, although we defended the border land of Zou State, five thousand warriors sacrificed their lives on the battlefield."

"In the 775th year of the New Calendar, the general of Wei, Long Qi and Zhao Kuo of Zhao, joined forces to attack Zou again, wanting to take Zou in one fell swoop and then eat it. My father also wore this armor and led the warriors of Zou to fight. After this fierce battle for half a year, Zhao Kuo of Zhao was known as the undefeated general, but his myth was broken after this battle."

"Today," the king of Zou's eyes swept across the soldiers on the battlefield, "We, Zou, are also facing a moment of life and death. An army of 50,000 people is entrenched on our land, acting as a mighty man. We want to drive them away and we want to take back our home."

"Warriors, when I was only seven years old, I believed, no, I firmly believed in one truth, that is, no, I could not surrender to Zou State, but would only reborn from the ashes and become stronger. For more than seven hundred years, our Zou State has faced this environment countless times, but in the end, we were not destroyed, but transformed and reborn, and this time, it is no exception!"

Lord Zou slowly raised his hand, holding a tall sword in his hand.

Although the weight of the armor and the weight of the long sword made the monarch with little force difficult, he insisted on lifting it up.

Lord Zou waved his long sword and shouted loudly, and his voice resounded over the sky: "God blesses Da Zou, the country will last forever!"

God bless Dazou, and the country will last for a long time!

Everyone in the audience was already jealous and filled their eyes with tears, shouting together: "God bless Da Zou, the country will last for a long time!" The voices resounded over the entire martial arts field, and over the entire Zou Kingdom's capital Lingri City...

The team of men set off slowly.

Of course, it was impossible for the king of Zou State to travel in heavy armor all the time. Strictly speaking, the symbolic meaning of that armor is unnecessary and practical.

The king of Zou State retreated his armor, changed into a light military uniform, stepped on a tall horse, and slowly walked in the middle of the team.

In front of the team is a cavalry team with hundreds of people, responsible for the guidance and reconnaissance of the entire team.

From time to time, one or two cavalry were sent out, and from time to time, cavalry who had completed reconnaissance returned to report the road conditions ahead and whether there were any enemy movements. Only after they determined that everything was safe would they continue to move forward.

After walking like this for nearly a day, they finally arrived at their destination, Taicheng. This is the place where they and the Teng** team agreed to meet.

After the elite Zou State led by the Lord of Zou State arrived in Taicheng, various armies from other parts of Zou State also arrived one after another.

The first to arrive was the Junfengcheng army, which was closest to Taicheng. The number of people was not large, only about 500.

In the entire Zou Kingdom, except for the capital that can temporarily draw large-scale troops, the garrisoning power of most cities is quite weak.

Even if it is temporary recruitment, it is difficult to gather a well-trained active-duty army in a short time.

After Junfeng City's army arrived, the troops from other cities also felt that most of them were not very optimistic, with hundreds of people, and the most were barely enough to have more than a thousand people.

When the king of Zou saw these very limited troops, his eyes showed a look of worry.

But he did not show this feeling. In front of everyone, he still forced himself to smile, as if he could defeat his opponent without any effort.

He is trying to shape his optimistic attitude, because his mental state will affect the morale of the entire army. He still knows this truth.

In the end, the army of Teng Kingdom was delayed.

No matter what, Teng Kingdom still fulfilled its agreement and sent an army of 10,000 people to aid Teng Kingdom, which gave Lord Zou a little a little bit of confidence.

The king of Teng Kingdom did not come in person, and the prime minister of Teng Kingdom Jiang Hua could not come in person. The one who brought the troops was Jiang Sheng, the general of Teng Kingdom.

Just by listening to the name, you can tell that this person is the clan of Prime Minister Jiang Hua and has a certain relationship with Jiang Hua. In fact, the two people are indeed of the same clan.

The king of Zou State tried his best to lower his figure and came to welcome the general of Teng State in person Jiang Sheng.

The two of them, together with Jiang Sheng's military supervisor, and Chen Gong, the prime minister of Zou, entered the mansion of Taicheng together.

In the hall of the mansion, there is a sand table, which indicates Taicheng, Yingcheng, and the urban villages around Yingcheng.

"Please." Lord Zou made a gesture of invitation.

"Well," as a general of Teng Kingdom, he lacks respect for the king of Zou Kingdom. There is always a sense of superiority that king of Zou Kingdom seeks from him.

Although the king of Zou was unhappy, he did not show any expression on his face, and he smiled faintly.

The king of Zou State pointed to the location of Yingcheng on the sand table and said, "General Jiang, the villages around Yingcheng are almost empty now, without any supplies or food."

"When this Immortal World Expeditionary Army captured Yingcheng, we made this decision to strengthen the walls and clear the fields, and cut off all support from the Immortal World Expeditionary Army."

Jiang Sheng said lightly: "The food and grass inside Yingcheng must be able to last for a while."

This is the truth. The Lord of Zou State nodded and said, "Yingcheng is the second largest city in our Zou State. It has a population of hundreds of thousands. There are hundreds of granaries of various sizes in the city. Are there still crops around the city that can be harvested? These things combined can help them persevere until the beginning of next spring."

Jiang Sheng said: "So, as long as we wait until the spring of next year, the food and grass of the fairy world expedition troops in the city are exhausted, we will win without fighting?"

Lord Zou Guoguo shook his head and rejected him immediately. "No, there are 50,000 expeditionary troops in the city. The biggest problem they face now is that they do not have enough weapons and weapons."

"When the spring of the next year begins, this time is enough for them to fully arm the 50,000 army. At that time, how can our army, which is less than 20,000 people, compete with them. So..."

Jiang Sheng slowly narrowed his eyes and added the following words to Lord Zou: "So, we must take the lead in launching an attack and actively attack Yingcheng?"

The king of Zou State focused on the key points and said, "Yes, although Yingcheng is the second largest city in Zou State, because it is an internal city, the city walls are not very high. I have issued an order to mobilize all nearby cities to use all possible siege equipment."

"Also, Taicheng will try its best to build siege equipment and transport it to outside Yingcheng by carts. The siege will begin soon. As for the same sentence, General Jiang, Yingcheng's current armed forces are very limited. As long as we work together, we can definitely take Yingcheng and destroy these expeditionary troops in the fairy world."

Jiang Sheng smiled faintly without comment, and suddenly looked at the king of Zou and said, "Your Majesty, if I remember correctly, the monarch you promised us to ceded a piece of land on the border between the two countries as a thank you?"

A trace of gloom flashed through the eyes of the Zou Kingdom. He gritted his teeth in secret, nodded and said, "Indeed, since it was what I promised, I will do what I said. Now for Zou Kingdom, the biggest threat is these fairy expeditionary forces, so as long as this problem is solved, Zou Kingdom is willing to make some blood."

In fact, the decision to cede the land was made privately by the Lord of Zou State, and no one in the entire Zou State knew about it.

With this treaty, even if the Lord Zou really agrees to this war in the future and drives away the invaders, the people of Zou will still forget his contributions, and remember and amplify the fact that he ceded the land will become his dark history and a stain that he cannot wash away in his life.

But he didn't care about this anymore. As long as he could protect the land of Zou for generations, the necessary sacrifices were acceptable.

After the discussion, several people decided to take a break in Taicheng that afternoon, set off in the early morning of the next day, headed south to attack Yingcheng.

In the early morning of the next day, an army rushed to Yingcheng in a mighty manner. The two places were basically only half a day away. When noon approached, the army was already at the city.

Because the coalition forces of Zou and Teng Kingdom carried baggage and engineering equipment, some of the troops escorted these things and walked behind, almost twice as slow as the army, and they did not arrive in Yingcheng until the evening of that day.

The king of Zou Kingdom ordered everyone to set a distance from Yingcheng, and then began to set up camps and make rice.

After the army had supper, the king of Zou State arranged a double-double guard to watch the night.

To be honest, the troops in Yingcheng rarely have armed forces and have almost no combat power, so it is almost unlikely that they will take the initiative to attack the Zou Kingdom and Tengguo coalition forces.

But just in case, the king of Zou State still made such an arrangement, just to have an accident of one in ten thousand.

Lord Zou State had a meal with the soldiers in the army, and stood at the gate of the military camp with sadness, looking at the stars and lights on Yingcheng. After watching for a long time, he returned to his camp to rest.

After a day of hard work, the king, who usually doesn't go out, still couldn't fall asleep. After about half an hour, he finally fell asleep gradually.
