Chapter 359 Victory in the first battle
After experiencing the initial shock, under the command of Li Tugong, the Sheshan bandits on the Gaonu city wall quickly organized a counterattack.

As the arrows fell, their density gradually increased, becoming as dense as a swarm of bees.

The clanging sound of arrows and armor nails continued to sound. Compared with their poor organization, the Sheshan bandits' archery skills were very good.

The northern part of the Loess Plateau is not suitable for the development of agriculture. Many of these people are hunters, but now they just change the objects of hunting to humans.

"Oh!"

Fang Weihan stretched out his palm forward, shouted low, and surging blood spread out, forming a huge shield about several meters long in front of him.

The arrows swarmed in, landed on the blood shield and bounced off one after another, unable to cause any effective damage to the soldiers led by the Dong Palace Guards behind him.

He rushed forward and quickly walked through the dozens of meters of open space in front of the city wall, arriving at the foot of the city wall.

Gaonu County is a second-class county with walls four feet high. If he just jumped, he would definitely not be able to get up.

But after climbing the outer wall of the Great Huoyuan Temple last time, Fang Weihan already had experience climbing such a wall.

"Dream."

Fang Weihan pulled out the long sword from one man's ribs, blood still dripping from the sword's edge.

"He...he is a monk who ascended to the gods!"

I was careless and didn't dodge. If he had avoided his sword instead of parrying just now, Li Tugong would have been 100% unable to escape.

But in just a few seconds, Li Tugong used the force of his sword to flip over and fall under the city wall.

All the power of his fourth rank was concentrated on the sword. The momentum was so huge that even Fang Weihan, who had ascended to the divine realm, felt a hint of threat.

Blood flowed all over the ground, and there was a mess on the city wall.

The screams and screams made people's ears soar. When the smoke and dust cleared, there was no living person within ten meters around Fang Weihan.

"Run, run quickly! It's important to save your life!"

"Protect Brother Li!"

They stared at him dumbfounded, never expecting that someone could scale the four-foot-high city wall with bare hands.

Many mountain bandits were frightened and fled down the city wall in panic.

Li Tugong actually used the back of his sword to attack him!

Li Tugong yelled: "Don't even go! Run!"

He sighed. Now that things had come to this, he could only put it aside for now.

Fang Weihan landed on the city wall, and his blood energy surged under his feet, knocking away several arrow stacks and shocking all the mountain bandits on the city wall.

The Sheshan bandits who were guarding Li Tugong stepped forward bravely and stood between Li Tugong and Fang Weihan, trying to resist his offensive.

He shook off the sticky blood on his Lumen Sword, slammed his boots on the ground, and rushed towards the man like an arrow from a string.

Fang Weihan didn't talk nonsense to them. The Lumen Sword swept past, and he was faced with the army of Emperor Ming's Sword Sutra.

However, it was too late, Fang Weihan's next burst of sword light had already arrived.

But the moment the sword collided with the long sword, Fang Weihan felt something bad.

He took a step forward and jumped high. He raised his arms and jammed Lumen into the cracks in the wall bricks. He accelerated in mid-air in a pole vaulting position, and in one spin, he climbed onto the wall of Gaonu City.

"Surrender now and I will spare your life."

This person's status must be unusual. At this time, there are dozens of loyal guards around him.

Fang Weihan quickly walked to the wall and looked down. He saw a mess in the city. The light of fire, the light of swords and the sound of crying were like purgatory on earth. Where could he find any trace of Li Tugong?
Fang Weihan cursed secretly, feeling a little regretful: "Damn...this person is quite courageous..."

It doesn't feel right.

"what!"

Li Tugong's eyes were fixed on the high-ranking imperial general in gray-white armor in front of him, and he wanted to kill him immediately.

If the thief captures the king first and beheads him, this Gaonu siege will definitely go much smoother.

Presumably he is the Li Tugong that Chen Yuxian mentioned.

The blood storm suddenly exploded with his body as the center and spread in all directions. The sharp sword energy easily tore the human body into pieces. The blood foam and bone residue drifted along the strong wind, like a bloody rainstorm.

Fang Weihan's eyes sharpened, and with a muffled "bang" in his ears, a large amount of smoke obscured his vision.

Li Tugong sneered, picked up his long sword and rushed towards Fang Weihan.

"So what?"

"Are you Li Tugong?"

When such a person releases the Sheshan Bandit, it always feels like he is letting the tiger return to the mountain.

He couldn't help but put away his contempt and began to take it seriously, using the Minghuang Sword Sutra Po Rui which was most suitable for parrying.

Fang Weihan looked past the fleeing bandits and towards a man wearing a bamboo hat.

"Boom!!!"

He immediately mobilized the blood energy around him to turn into strong winds, dispersing the surrounding smoke.

The bloody blade swept forward, cutting dozens of loyal guards in half. Their internal organs splashed backwards and poured onto Li Tugong's body, making him so nauseous that he could not stop dry heaving.

The violent impact almost shattered the eardrums, and the city wall swayed, as if it was about to collapse.

Fang Weihan turned around and saw that many East Palace Guards and soldiers were pushing carts and had already crashed through Gaonu's east gate.

"kill!"

The shouts of killing resounded loudly, and the many bandits in the city no longer had the will to fight, and their lines collapsed like a landslide.

Judging from the flow of people, this group of people should be planning to take the north gate of Gaonu to escape to the place occupied by the Sheshan bandits.

However, Fang Weihan was not worried at all, and did not even intend to continue killing the enemy.

He agreed to let these new recruits see blood, but he couldn't kill them all by himself, right? Is that okay?

As for those who escaped...

Fang Weihan squinted his eyes and looked eastward. On the plains of the Beiluo River Valley, next to their temporary camp, the sound of galloping war horses sounded like distant drums.

He surrounded Gaonu on the south, east, and west sides, and deliberately left the gap in the north of the city unguarded, just to allow them to escape.

The city must be besieged, and the cavalry led by Yu Hou had been waiting for them for a long time.

Fang Weihan looked at the burning city under his feet, and even though he was in a calm mood, he couldn't help but feel a little excited at this moment.

First battle, victory.

He took a picture and sent it to Mingyue Luhua’s group.

Fang Weihan: "{Picture}"

Fang Weihan: "We just captured Gaonu."

A certain stinky sister replied almost instantly.

Xiao Jin: "Well done, Brother Fang. As a reward, I will let you be the master for ten minutes next time!"

Fang Weihan: "..."

Does she have nothing to do every day? Live in a group? Even if I say this kind of thing outside, there is a senior sister in the group, let her see it, where can I put my face?
He felt that he needed to find an opportunity to deal with Xiao Jin properly.

After a while, the little master's reply also popped up.

Tao Yunjiang: "Wow! It's so awesome! I haven't led the troops to attack the city yet. My dear disciple, teach me when you have time!"

Fang Weihan nodded with satisfaction, feeling much happier.

Take a look, this is the compliment he wants to hear, and he recommends Xiao Jin to imitate it.

Let me see what my dear Wanwan would say to praise her favorite husband?

Fang Weihan watched with anticipation.

Xie Lingwan: "Already read it." Fang Weihan: "?"

There was one more person he felt he had to take care of.

……

……

Changming, Yuanhui Hall.

Fang Zun was reviewing the memorials submitted by the ministers on a daily basis.

As the emperor of the Zhou Dynasty, his way of reviewing memorials was different from that of all previous emperors.

Before reviewing a memorial, Fang Zun would take a look at which department submitted it.

The first memorial was signed, and it was supervised by the secretary. Fang Zun suddenly realized that he was the secretary supervisor under the control of the Uehara Wang family.

He didn't even look at it, just threw it aside.

The information that Wang Uehara presented to him had no value for review. Regardless of whether the information was true or false, it would not have any impact if he reviewed it himself. It was simply a waste of energy.

The second memorial was submitted by the Capital Water Supervisor, which strictly stated the leakage situation in the dams on the lower reaches of the Changhe River.

The Du Shui Supervisor is the department of the Wuxing Shen family, so he can speak for himself. Fang Zun gave his opinion and at the same time sent an order to Duzhi Yamen to ask them to participate in the matter.

Although all members of the Duzhi Yamen are members of the Uehara Wang family, it is very likely that they will not obey his orders. But his mission as the emperor has been completed. As for whether to listen or not... that is the problem of the Uehara Wang family.

Fang Zun wrote dozens of words eloquently, then blew the ink on it, folded it, sealed it, and placed it in another neat pile of memorials.

Just when he was about to continue reviewing the next memorial, Eunuch Xue suddenly walked in in a hurry.

"Your Majesty, we have good news."

Fang Zun was stunned for a moment: "Good news? What good news?"

There have been a lot of things going on recently, and Fang Zun forgot where else there could be good news.

"Just two days ago, His Royal Highness King Guangling led his army to attack Gaonu City in Shangjun."

Eunuch Xue said respectfully.

"The East Palace Guards led 352 casualties, captured or killed more than 19,000 enemies, and almost wiped out all the Sheshan bandits in Gaonu City."

Fang Zun was stunned again: "How much?"

He seemed to have heard some incredible numbers just now.

Eunuch Xue smiled and bowed again: "The East Palace Guards led 352 casualties and killed more than 19,000 enemies."

"well!"

Fang Zun stood up suddenly and laughed.

"At a small cost, he killed fifty times the enemy! King Guangling fought well!"

Eunuch Xue continued to add: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness King Guangling took the lead in this battle. As the commander-in-chief of the army, he also made great contributions to the first victory. Now the entire southern part of Shangjun is praising his reputation."

Fang Zun immediately made the decision: "Okay! You will be rewarded for your merits! Send an envoy immediately to reward the East Palace Guards for leading the entire army. I will draft the edict myself in a while!"

"But before that..." Fang Zun put away his beaming expression and sneered, "publicize this good news to the whole city, and send a special person to send a copy to Wang Tun."

"The East Palace Guards were able to achieve such a great victory because of their 'help'!"

"Yes."

Eunuch Xue took the order and left. Soon, exciting news of a great victory flowed out from Changming Beigong, sweeping the whole city like a prairie fire.

……

……

"Have you heard? His Royal Highness Prince Guangling won a great victory!"

"What big victory? What a big victory?"

"It seems like we lost 300 people, but the bandits killed 20,000!"

"How many?! Three hundred to kill twenty thousand?!"

The people around were shocked when they heard the news.

The news spread again in the market.

"Have you heard? His Highness Prince Guangling led his men to a great victory! Only two hundred people died, but fifty thousand bandits were killed!"

"What?! Fifty thousand?"

"That's nonsense. I saw it was written in the imperial notice as three hundred to nineteen thousand. Don't just keep talking about it."

"Do you believe what the imperial court says? Are you the dog of a noble family?"

"What are you talking about!"

"Can I still lie to you? This is what my fourth uncle's student's father said. He is on duty at Feng Yi Station! He is the one who brought the news!"

And when the news reached the East Palace, it had already changed into something else.

"You said...His Royal Highness the King of Guangling led his men to capture Gaonu County. He did not suffer any casualties, but instead killed 100,000 She mountain bandits?"

Feihong looked dumbfounded at the little palace maid who rushed over to her excitedly.

The little palace maid looked excited: "Yes, yes, sister Feihong! Everyone outside says so!"

Feihong rubbed her head, but did not correct her statement. Instead, she went into the main hall of the East Palace to find Fang Tang.

She had just received the good news from Changming Beigong, but Fang Tang didn't know about it yet.

Feihong walked into the main hall and found the girl standing by the window, looking at the distant scenery.

"Your Highness, there is good news from Beigong."

"Good news?"

Fang Tang turned around, with a trace of doubt on his beautiful face.

But she soon reacted, seeming to think of something, and asked uncertainly:

"Could it be...that it came from Ninth Brother?"

"Exactly."

Feihong handed the good news to Fang Tang. He didn't say much, but walked to the side and stood there.

The good news was not long, and Fang Tang read it quickly.

The girl put down the paper and stared at the window lattice, her moist eyes a little confused.

Ever since Fang Weihan led his army on the expedition, Fang Tang always came to this window to stare blankly. Sometimes it was half an hour, sometimes it was a quarter of an hour, but she would always stand here for a while, slowly sorting out her extremely complicated mood.

Does she hope that Fang Weihan will win?
Fang Tang always asks himself this.

Say you don’t hope? But that was Zhou's army. If you didn't want them to win, wouldn't you have become a treasonous sinner?
Talk about hope? But... I was clearly like that before he went out to fight. If he really came back victorious in the end, how could he have the face to see him?
The summer time passed quickly, and the crisp autumn days diluted the heat, and also dispelled the girl's originally hard prejudice and defense.

My attitude towards this battle is just like my attitude towards Fang Weihan, constantly cutting and confusing.

And now that he has won his first battle and achieved such an impressive record... he won't really win in the end, right?

The girl felt a little sad and a little uneasy, like a student anxiously waiting to be called to answer a question.

"Ninth brother...that's really awesome."

Fang Tang pinched the tasseled sword tassel and smiled dryly, a little absent-mindedly.

Can he...can he stop winning? But we can't lose...it's best to just stay there.

Otherwise, when he comes back...I...
