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

Tang Zhaozhong, Li Maozhen and the Security Association stood side by side on the city wall, their long gowns fluttering in the wind, looking into the distance, with no fear in their hearts, only unyielding courage and firm belief.

"Soldiers, protect your homeland, defend your dignity, for Fengxiang, for the Tang Dynasty!" Tang Zhaozhong raised his arms and shouted.

The soldiers responded to the shouts and vowed to fight the enemy bloody battles.

The drums sounded, the military flags fluttered, Tang Zhaozhong and Li Maozhen took a deep breath, turned around and ordered: "Charge!"

That night, outside Fengxiang City, beacons were everywhere, swords flashed, and smoke billowed. A life-and-death contest, a war with an uncertain outcome, officially kicked off.

The three fought side by side and commanded confidently. No matter how dangerous the situation was, they firmly followed their original intentions.

In the long night of fighting, they were indistinguishable from each other, just for the responsibility and love that could not be separated.

The flames of war were raging, and the night outside Fengxiang City seemed to have become a blazing purgatory. Tang Zhaozhong, Li Maozhen and the Security Association stood shoulder to shoulder on the city wall, their hearts were as hot as the flames, firm and unyielding.

Suddenly, a loud noise came from the bottom of the city, earth and rocks flew, and the city wall shook.

"The enemy has launched a fierce attack!" Li Maozhen held the spear tightly in his hand, with a firm light flashing in his eyes.

"We must hold on!" Tang Zhaozhong straightened his chest and shouted loudly to boost morale.

The Security Association calmly observed the movements of the enemy troops under the city, frowning slightly, as if thinking about something.

"The enemy's offensive is getting more and more fierce, and our city walls are hard to resist!" A soldier shouted in horror.

Tang Zhaozhong frowned and thought for a moment, then decided: "We need to change tactics and mobilize backup forces to support the city wall."

Li Maozhen nodded and said: "Yes, only by concentrating firepower can we resist the enemy's attack."

The Security Council's eyes flashed, and said: "I have a plan that may give us some advantages in this defense."

Tang Zhaozhong and Li Maozhen cast curious eyes, waiting for the strategy of the Security Council.

The Security Council smiled and said mysteriously: "We can use the terrain under the city to set up an ambush, wait for the enemy to enter the ambush circle, and suddenly attack them, catching them off guard."

Tang Zhaozhong's brows relaxed and nodded in praise: "Good idea! Let's act immediately and arrange an ambush!"

Li Maozhen and the Security Council discussed the location and action plan of the ambush, and Tang Zhaozhong commanded the soldiers to quickly adjust their defensive posture and prepare for the ambush.

After a while, a sophisticated ambush plan unfolded under the cover of night. The enemy army was like a beast lured into a trap, and unknowingly, they had fallen into the ambush of the Fengxiang Army.

Suddenly, there was a loud noise, and the ambush began. The Fengxiang Army launched attacks from all directions, catching the enemy off guard and causing chaos.

"Kill!" Tang Zhaozhong waved his spear and led the soldiers to charge forward, as if they were in an empty space.

Li Maozhen rode a warhorse and ledThe cavalry galloped on the battlefield, charging and breaking through the enemy lines.

The Security Council used the catapults and crossbow carts on the city walls to conduct long-range shooting at the enemy and provide support for our soldiers.

On the battlefield, the smoke was filled with gunpowder, the swords were shining, and the enemy and us fought a desperate battle.

Zhu Wen, Zhu Quanyu, Han Zhu, medical officer Bian Yong and seven others led 200,000 elite soldiers and surrounded Fengxiang City in a fierce manner. At this critical moment, Taoist Zhang Taiyi, Zhu Dali and Luo Feilong were sent to lead a thousand warriors through the night and quietly entered Fengxiang City to explore the enemy's situation.

On the streets of Fengxiang City, Zhang Taiyi and others were dressed in black, like ghosts in the night, sneaking forward. They carefully avoided the patrolling soldiers and slowly approached the direction of the city lord's mansion.

"This Fengxiang City is really a troublesome place. It looks inconspicuous, but it is well arranged." Luo Feilong commented in a low voice.

"Hush, keep your voice down! Our current mission is to sneak into the City Lord's Mansion and spy on the enemy. Don't distract attention." Zhang Taiyi reminded everyone.

Zhu Dali clenched his fists and looked determined: "We must bring the intelligence back and make plans for the victory of the army."

Outside the City Lord's Mansion, they found that there were many buried mechanisms hidden in the grass, and stones and traps were everywhere, as if danger could occur at any time.

"The defense here is strict, we need to be careful." Zhang Taiyi ordered everyone.

Just as they tried to sneak into the City Lord's Mansion, a sudden sound of footsteps came, and the guards immediately found their traces and rushed towards them waving their spears.

"Go!" Luo Feilong shouted loudly, and his body retreated quickly to avoid the enemy's attack.

Zhu Dali held a weapon and fought hard to resist the soldiers' attack, while signaling Zhang Taiyi to continue moving forward.

Zhang Taiyi's mind moved, and the magic weapon in his hand flashed, and suddenly the surrounding stones flew wildly, leaving the soldiers at a loss.

Seeing this, the medical officer Bian Yong seized the opportunity and quickly used his medical skills to heal several soldiers who were knocked down with the medicine in his hand.

After a fight, Zhang Taiyi and others finally successfully entered the interior of the City Lord's Mansion.

In the hall of the City Lord's Mansion, they listened quietly, and heard a burst of secret conversations.

"We must win this siege!" Zhu Wen's voice was full of domineering and determination.

"Although the defenders in the city are tenacious, our troops are superior and we will surely break through Fengxiang City." Han Zhu said confidently.

"We still need to pay close attention to the enemy's movements and never be careless." Zhu Quanyu reminded seriously.

Zhang Taiyi and the other three silently recorded the information and discussed how to smoothly convey this important information to the army on the periphery.

Just as they were about to turn around and leave, a thunderous roar suddenly sounded, shaking the entire city lord's mansion.

"What's going on?!" Zhu Wen asked in surprise, and the others looked at each other.

On the periphery, Fengxiang City's commander Tang Zhaozhong had already laid out a plan.They set up an ambush carefully and launched a surprise attack at a critical moment, disrupting the enemy's deployment.

Zhang Taiyi and the other three saw that the situation was urgent and immediately decided to abandon the original plan and return directly to the periphery to report the latest intelligence.

At this critical juncture, the battle inside and outside Fengxiang City was as hot as tar, and suspense and danger were intertwined in the dark. Zhang Taiyi and others were in the middle of it, facing a series of emergencies, and they remained calm and decisive.

In a hurry, they returned to the army's position. Zhu Wen eagerly greeted them: "What's the intelligence?"

Zhu Dali said in a deep voice: "There is a secret conversation between Zhu Wen, Han Zhu and others in the City Lord's Mansion. The enemy's attitude is firm, but they have underestimated our strength."

Zhu Quanyu frowned after hearing this: "They underestimated our strength. This may be our chance to fight back."

"But at this moment, the battle inside and outside the city is already tense, and we must quickly adjust our plan." Han Zhu said, his eyes revealing a sharpness that cannot be ignored.

"I have a plan." Medical officer Bian Yong suddenly interrupted, "We can use the terrain in the city to set up an ambush, wait for the enemy to attack, and then counterattack unexpectedly."

"This is a good plan!" Zhu Wen nodded and praised, "Let's adjust the deployment immediately."

Everyone immediately discussed and arranged a new battle plan. Under their command, the army began to set up hidden ambushes in the city, waiting for the enemy to arrive.
