There were many hills and ditches in the Tiantu County. If the defending party had prepared a good defense beforehand, they would have a great advantage in terms of terrain.
After Cui Tu and his army reached the Tiantu County, they immediately set up defenses in the valley and built earth walls and Rejecting Wooden-Horse s.
At this time, the indentation had become a natural barrier of Ann Army, similar to a ditch, giving the attacking side an enormous amount of resistance.
Although the terrain was beneficial to his own side, Cui Tu was still unsure. He had fought shoulder-to-shoulder with Feng Army before, so he knew very well how powerful Feng Army was, and they had as many generals as the clouds within the Feng Army. On the other hand, there were only a handful of people on his side who could truly be called powerful generals, and the number of generals that could be used by him was even more pitiful.
In a head-on battle, even if both sides were equally strong and their side was on the defensive, the situation was still not looking good. For the past few days, Cui Tu had been frowning and racking his brains for a plan to resist the enemy, but he could not come up with a good plan.
On this day, he was in the army camp discussing military matters with his subordinates. Troops suddenly ran in from outside and interfered and saluted: "Chief General, outside the camp, there are two people who claim to be Divine Pool who wish to meet you!"
"Oh?" Cui Tu's heart was moved, he subconsciously bowed and said: "Quickly, get the invitation!"
"Yes!" Chief General! " The soldier answered and quickly ran out of the Central Army Tent.
When he left, Tan Feng, who was at the side, had a face full of puzzlement. He said: "Strange, why did the Divine Pool people suddenly find my army camp?"
Cui Tu was also very curious, he shrugged and said: "It's not a disaster, it's not something that can be avoided, just listen to what they have to say!"
The generals nodded.
Not long after, two middle-aged men around forty years old were brought into the Central Army Tent by the soldiers. Both of them were of medium build. One of them had a pale face and looked quite handsome. The other one had slightly darker skin and had a rough appearance.
The two of them stopped at Central Army Tent and looked around first. Then, the white faced middle aged man smiled at Cui Tu who was sitting in the middle, cupped his hands and said, "I presume you are General Cui, Cui Tu!"
He directly called out Cui Tu's name. The surrounding generals all felt very uncomfortable, but taking into consideration his identity as a Divine Pool individual, they didn't dare to step out and scold him. They only stared at him coldly.
Cui Tu had the bearing of a general, he did not mind's rudeness, he smiled and nodded, then said: "This commander is indeed Cui Tu, I wonder who both of you gentlemen are?"
"The two of us are the disciples of Great Clan Elder Huangfu, I am Lv Yong." I am Ye Zhuo. " One of the two middle-aged men had a smile on his face while the other had a cold expression as he spoke at a casual pace.
Ouch! It's Huangfu Xiutai's disciple! Cui Tu and the General of Ann Country were all shocked. The two of them were not ordinary Disciple of Divine Pool, Huangfu Xiutai was the Divine Pool Great Clan Elder, his disciple could definitely be considered a famous noble in terms of Divine Pool.
"Oh, so it's Mr Lu and Mr Ye. I've heard a lot about you. My apologies!" Cui Tu stood up politely and cupped his hands towards the two of them. Then, he asked: May I know the reason for the two mister's visit?
Lv Yong and Ye Zhuo looked at each other, and the former asked: "The Feng Country army is pressing down upon the territory, and General Cui is giving orders in the face of danger, do you have any way to break through the enemy?"
Cui Tu took a deep breath, muttered to himself for a moment, and said: "I believe we are in danger of losing our lives, but we can use the Jufeng Army."
"Yes!" Lv Yong nodded his head, and said: "When we came here, the two of us specially checked on the defenses of the Your Army, and it was indeed sturdy, if it was an ordinary enemy, it would be more than enough to defend, but in terms of Feng Army, I am afraid it is not enough."
There was something lacking! Cui Tu secretly nodded his head, but his face was still at a loss, and said: "Please enlighten me, Mister Lu."
Lv Yong laughed and said: "The ones who have invaded the Tiantu County are Directly Subordinate Army and Ninth Army. The Ninth Army's commander, Qi Heng, is a strong and powerful warrior, he is brave enough to fight. Other than that, I heard that Jiang Fan and the two generals Zhan Hu have been assigned to the Directly Subordinate Army.
His words had hit right on Cui Tu's weak spot. The Ann Army and their forces were on par with each other and had the advantage in terms of location, but his only weakness was that he lacked a fierce general. Any one of them from the three general such as Qi Heng, Jiang Fan and Zhan Hu would be enough to make a pot of tea for his Ann Army.
Cui Tu sighed secretly, he bowed and said: "Master Lu is right, this is our current weakness." At this point, he changed the subject, leaned forward and asked, "I wonder if Mister Lu can recommend a few good generals for this marshal?"
There was nothing else about Divine Pool, there were only Spiritual Martial Expert. If they could recruit a few Divine Pool experts, then there was nothing much to be afraid of in Feng Army.
Hearing his words, Lv Yong laughed out loud, and said: "I'm not satisfied with General Cui, the reason why we brothers are here is because of this matter."
"Oh?" Cui Tu's eyes lit up, and he immediately asked: May I know where the recommended talents are now?
"Far in the horizon, so close." Lv Yong said with a smile.
Cui Tu was startled for a moment before reacting. Listening to what he said, could it be that the two of them were willing to help him out?
The other General of Ann Country s present were also stunned. That's right, there were Spiritual Martial Expert s who were always trying to sell them to the other nations, but those Spiritual Martial Expert s were mostly people whose Divine Pool were insignificant, while Lv Yong and Ye Zhuo were different. The two of them were both disciples of Huangfu Xiutai, so their identities were extremely illustrious and they had never heard of any Great Clan Elder's disciples willing to work for other countries.0
"Is Mr Lu joking?" Cui Tu looked at him in disbelief.
Lv Yong laughed: "My junior and junior brother have already arrived at Your Army's camp, how can they be joking?"
Cui Tu blinked his eyes and asked: "Then ? "Then, how much are the two gentlemen asking for?"
Lv Yong extended a finger. Cui Tu thought for a while, then carefully asked: "Ten ? 100,000 silver? " Ordinary Divine Pool experts would obviously not be worthy of such a price, but Lu and Ye Wen's statuses were different, so a hundred thousand gold taels was worth much less.
"Ha ha!" Lv Yong laughed again, and slowly shook his head. Cui Tu blushed and felt that he said too little. He swallowed his saliva and said, "Yes ? One million silver? This matter, this marshal has to report it to my King Fang before he can make a decision! "
Even though he was an expensive Chief General and the commander of two hundred thousand men, he could not afford that much silver and could only seek help from the imperial government.
"One tael!" Ye Zhuo who had not said anything suddenly spoke out.
"What?" Cui Tu didn't quite understand what he meant, and looked at him with wide eyes, puzzled.
"For the two of us helping Your Army deal with Feng Army, we only need a tael of silver as compensation." Ye Zhuo said expressionlessly: "Now, General Cui can arrange a place for us to stay."
Cui Tu and Ye Zhuo, these two esteemed disciples of Huangfu Xiutai's, had traveled thousands of miles to come here to help them deal with Feng Army, yet they only needed a single silver as payment. Wasn't this just a joke?
Seeing the look of disbelief on his face and the surrounding people, Lv Yong laughed and said gently: "My junior brother is right, we two brothers only need to pay a silver coin. As for why, General Cui does not need to ask, nor do he need to think too much about it, the two of us will naturally help you repel the Feng Army."
Cui Tu's body trembled. He did not hesitate anymore as he stood up and quickly walked towards Lv Yong and Ye Zhuo.
Humph! Lv Yong and Ye Zhuo snorted in their hearts, if not for their master, they would not have come to this muddy water, with Yue Ze's actions, the people of the world should have looked down on him.
Although he was thinking that in his heart, Lv Yong did not say it in such a manner. Lv Yong smiled and said: "General Cui is too polite.
To Cui Tu and Ann Army, it was as if a pie had dropped from the sky. With the help of the two of them, Cui Tu's confidence was boosted greatly, even though Feng Country was extremely powerful, but in terms of spirit martial skills, how could he be a match to orthodox disciples?
After a while, Feng Country and Ninth Army arrived at the place where Ann Army were guarded.
He raised his head to look at the defensive grounds of the Ann Army. Behind each of the trenches was a wall of earth and Rejecting Wooden-Horse, and when the attacking side pushed forward, they had to jump into the trench first, then climb up, and also had to forcefully climb over the wall of earth. The most frightening thing was that the Ann Army's defensive line was not one at a time, but was divided into layers, so many that it was unclear how many levels there were.
In this kind of battlefield, the Heavy Cavalry was already completely utilized. Let alone being unable to launch a charge, it was even difficult to lead the horse forward. Qi Heng left his Ninth Army and ran over to Wu Ying's side to discuss how to attack.
Wu Ying frowned and said faintly: "It is reported that the enemy's commander is Cui Tu. He is famous for being good at defending and defending. This large ravine had already been utilized to the extreme by him. She could already predict how difficult this battle would be.
Qi Heng sneered and said: "Against a mere Ann Army, what is there to be afraid of? General Wu need not worry, in this battle, let me be the vanguard, and we will break through the formation from the center, fighting into the center of Ann Army and taking Cui Tu's dog head first! "
Jiang Fan and Zhan Hu who were at the side were amused. The two of them knew that Qi Heng was anxious to show off and restore his previous position, but this time, it was Ann Country that was going against another two hundred thousand people.
Zhan Hu said: Looking at the enemy's defensive line, it has already been strengthened, the frontal assault, even if we succeed in it, the casualties of our own army will not be too small, it would be better to use a face-to-face attack to attack with the enemy's two wings, thus, the enemy's defenses will not be able to display their power.
Wu Ying and Jiang Fan nodded their heads, feeling that Zhan Hu had a good idea, Qi Heng curled his lips in disapproval and muttered: "Ann Army, why be so careful, walk around and level it."
"You can't put it that way, it's not a bad thing to be careful." Wu Ying said in a serious tone: "Today, my army will rest. Tomorrow morning, we will follow General Zhan Hu's instructions and attack from three sides!"
