Heroes of Troubled Times: Chronicles of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms

However, just as they were preparing to act, Zhu Wen suddenly received unexpected news.

"Lord Zhu Wen, Zhu Xuan and Zhu Jin have already learned of our plan, strengthened their defense measures, and are ready to resist resolutely!" A messenger hurriedly conveyed the information.

Zhu Wen's expression changed slightly, and his brows were furrowed: "Have they been seen through? This is not good. Li Keyong, we have to rethink our countermeasures."

Li Keyong's heart also sank: "Zhu Xuan and Zhu Jin are more powerful, we can't act rashly."

Zhu Wen frowned and thought, and suddenly his eyes flashed, and his expression suddenly became gloomy: "If they are so arrogant, then we will go to Xuzhou and see if we can get some benefits."

After that, Zhu Wen issued an order and the troops went to Xuzhou. This change surprised everyone, but no one dared to disobey Zhu Wen's order.

As he marched along the way, Zhu Wen led the army into Xuzhou with a fierce and powerful momentum. He launched an attack on Xuzhou City with a powerful army.

The walls of Xuzhou City were tall and straight, but they were as solid as a mountain under Zhu Wen's attack. The defenders fought bravely and did not give in.

"Zhu Wen, you are an ambitious man, you can't succeed!" A general on the top of Xuzhou City shouted.

Zhu Wen sneered: "Whoever dares to stop me will be destroyed in my hands!"

The sound of war drums continued, the sound of swords clashing was deafening, blood and flesh were splattered, and it was filled with a fierce killing atmosphere. The two sides fought a desperate battle outside Xuzhou City.

Zhu Wen was furious and mercilessly commanded his troops to violently attack the city walls, trying to take advantage of the situation to break through the defense line of Xuzhou City.

However, the defenders of Xuzhou always kept the city firmly with their tenacious defense and wise tactics. They stayed at their posts, defended their homes to the death, and were not afraid of powerful enemies.

"This Xuzhou city is really hard to take!" Zhu Wen felt a little anxious and began to try to adjust the tactics of his troops.

Li Keyong looked at the city wall in the distance and whispered: "Lord Zhu Wen, the situation of this battle may be more complicated than we thought. We need to reassess the situation."

Zhu Wen pondered for a moment, his face solemn: "Yes, the defenders of this Xuzhou city are very stubborn. We can't act rashly and need to deal with it carefully."

Night covered the battlefield, and the confrontation between Zhu Wen and the Xuzhou defenders continued. At this time, Li Keyong suddenly left the battlefield.

"Oh, my stomach hurts!" Li Keyong covered his stomach and smiled bitterly, "Lord Zhu Wen, I'm really sorry, I have to leave this time, there is an emergency that needs to be dealt with."

Zhu Wen was stunned for a moment, then frowned: "Li Keyong, is it inappropriate for you to leave at this time? We are at a critical moment."

Li Keyong hesitated to speak. He understood Zhu Wen's concerns, but also knew that now was not the time to dwell on this issue. He forced a smile and explained: "Lord Zhu Wen, this situation is really urgent, I must deal with it myself, please rest assured, I will be back soon."

Zhu Wen hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded:"Okay, go ahead, but make sure you hurry back."

Li Keyong nodded in thanks, turned around and left the battlefield, quickly disappearing into the darkness. He knew that his decision might cause some misunderstandings, but at this moment he had only one goal in mind.

"I must quickly find that key clue and uncover the truth of all this!" Li Keyong muttered in his heart, quickened his pace, and ran towards his destination.

At the same time, in Xuzhou City, Zhu Wen sat on the city wall, staring at the battlefield in the dark, feeling uneasy. He thought about Li Keyong's sudden departure and felt something was wrong.

"What exactly does Li Keyong want to do this time? Does he have any plans?" Zhu Wen said to himself, with a hint of doubt in his eyes.

Just as he was lost in thought, suddenly, a cold wind blew, the torches on the city wall went out, and the entire city was instantly plunged into darkness.

Zhu Wen's heart tightened and he immediately became alert. In the darkness, he saw a figure approaching quickly, holding a sharp sword and exuding a gloomy atmosphere.

"Who is it?! Come out!" Zhu Wen shouted sharply, his body tensed, ready to fight.

However, the figure did not stop, and rushed directly towards Zhu Wen. The fierce attack put Zhu Wen in danger.

At the critical moment, Zhu Wen waved the long sword in his hand, relying on his excellent swordsmanship, and tried to resist the opponent's attack.

"This guy's strength is not simple!" Zhu Wen warned in his heart, he stared at the figure, trying to recognize the other's face.

However, the figure in the dark always avoided the light and did not give Zhu Wen any chance. He was like a ghost, with strange techniques, and every attack seemed to be able to easily penetrate Zhu Wen's defense line.

Zhu Wen could only rely on experience and reaction to deal with his opponent with difficulty, but the situation was getting more and more unfavorable to him.

"Sure enough... not good!" Zhu Wen's heart tightened, and he suddenly felt a hint of ominous breath. His face was pale and his heart was full of fear.

At this time, the figure in the dark suddenly increased the attack power several times, and a cold sword light pierced Zhu Wen's chest.

Zhu Wen's body suddenly stiffened, and blood gushed out like a spring. He fell to the ground powerlessly, his eyes full of despair and regret.

"Why... why was I killed..." Zhu Wen's voice gradually weakened, and his consciousness gradually blurred.

The figure in the dark watched Zhu Wen's death quietly, and then turned and left, like a gust of cold wind sweeping past. His figure disappeared in the night, leaving Zhu Wen's body lying on the top of Xuzhou City, bleeding.

It turned out that it was not Zhu Wen who died, but Zhu Cun. In order to avenge him, Zhu Wen led tens of thousands of troops to attack Xuzhou. They lined up in neat rows, waving swords and guns, and rushed towards the city wall with great momentum.

"Xuzhou City, why are you so stubborn? You dare to keep me out of the city!" Zhu Wen's eyes flashed fiercely. He stared at the oncoming Xuzhou defenders, and there seemed to be a hint of sarcasm in his voice.

The Xuzhou defenders were not afraid. They guarded the city wall tightly., strictly organized the formation and prepared to fight. The firmness and determination emanating from them seemed to give the city wall an indestructible protective shield.

The soldiers in Xuzhou were fully armed and determined to defend their homes. Facing the fierce attack of the enemy, they did not give in and built a solid line of defense with tenacious fighting spirit.

"Charge! Defend Xuzhou!" A Xuzhou general shouted loudly, leading the defenders to resist bravely and block the enemy's attack.

The arrows on the city wall shot out after a rain, and the sound of swords and swords intersecting was endless. The Xuzhou soldiers were agile and drove their weapons accurately, engaging in a fierce battle with Zhu Wen's army.

Every attack was resolutely resisted by the Xuzhou defenders. They guarded their homes and defended the dignity of Xuzhou to the death. They wrote a chapter of courage and determination with their blood and lives.
