General Cai snorted coldly, his clenched fists crackling in the joints.
The soldier didn't dare to stay and immediately handed over his hand.
"General, we will continue to investigate until we find the person."
"go!"
General Cai waved his hand and his eyes fell to a place not far away filled with white smoke.
"Report!"
One soldier left, and another soldier came.
"explain!"
General Cai lowered his eyes and frowned slightly.
"On the right side of the city wall, the guards killed and injured hundreds of people, but we... couldn't catch anyone."
The soldier's voice lowered unconsciously.
“Where is Linglong?
Did you find it?"
General Cai asked in a deep voice.
"No, no."
The soldier responded in a low voice.
"Report!"
Another soldier hurried over, jumped off his horse, and half-knelt in front of General Cai.
"Get up and talk!"
Looking at the kneeling people, General Cai's breath became extremely cold.
The soldier stood up and raised his eyes to meet General Cai's gaze.
"General, the fire in the clothing warehouse is very strong and we need support."
The visitor said hurriedly.
General Cai waved his hand, and the guard sitting on horseback behind him turned around and came to his side.
"General."
The guard cupped his hands and waited for orders.
"Bring fifty more people over and be sure to put out the fire."
General Cai said in a deep voice.
"yes."
The guard nodded and led a team to follow the footsteps of the one coming.
"General."
Not far away, another soldier came, "General, a suspicious person was found near Liang Mansion."
"The opponent's Qinggong was so good that he disappeared in a blink of an eye. Please send someone to support him, General."
Before General Cai could speak, a soldier came on horseback from the other side.
"General."
Before the horse could stop, the guard jumped down.
It looks like the situation is very urgent.
"General, we found a suspicious person, brothers, we are hunting him down."
Before he could kneel down, the guard said.
"General Cai."
Just as one of the guards finished speaking, another person came and said, "General Cai, about five miles away on the left, the bodies of more than ten soldiers were found."
"General Cai, Ling..." In front of him, several soldiers came at once, and everyone talked to each other, as if they had made an appointment to come over, and General Cai had no time to respond.
He stretched out his palm and shook it hard.
"Quiet!"
The scene suddenly became quiet.
Looking at the last person to come, General Cai took a deep breath and exhaled slowly.
"Tell me, have you found Linglong?"
"Um."
The last person to come raised his eyes and immediately lowered his head, "Miss Linglong said, open the city gate and prepare to... fight."
Knowing that the soldiers had just gone out to fight, they came back without doing anything. Even if they were just giving orders, the guards did not dare to speak too loudly.
"Where is she?"
General Cai asked in a deep voice.
Startled by General Cai's voice, the guard took half a step back and almost fell to the ground.
"Miss Linglong left with a few brothers. She told you to open the city gate and prepare for battle."
The guard took a deep breath and continued: "Miss Linglong said that she was under the order of His Highness the Crown Prince. She..." "Okay, no need to say any more!"
General Cai interrupted the guard coldly.
Glancing at the person in front of him, he drove his horse and turned back.
"Squadron 1 and 2 follow, the other brothers are in the city and are ready to fight!"
"yes."
The thousand elite soldiers who had just left with General Cai once again held their heads high, rode their horses, and marched out of the city in neat lines.
The people who were left behind looked at each other with a bit of confusion in their eyes.
A thousand elite soldiers appeared outside the city gate for the second time, but they didn't expect that just like before, everyone still couldn't wait for the order to fight.
Time passed bit by bit, and the mood of the guards gradually began to become manic.
"General."
The guard closest to General Cai asked in a deep voice, "Are we being tricked again?"
"Yes, I don't know where that woman has gone."
Another guard also complained.
The people present are all General Cai's subordinates. Who would be willing to see his general being fooled around by a woman?
"General Cai, how about we attack it ourselves? Waiting any longer is not an option."
The guard closest to General Cai said.
"We have such a large number of people that we don't need to listen to her words, which are just a few hundred people."
"That woman has the prince's token, you don't know it."
The other guard sighed lightly.
The fact that Linglong had the prince's token in her hand became clear to everyone when the two armies met.
"But the woman hasn't come out yet, why should we wait here?"
The guard who spoke at the beginning was full of resentment.
General Cai's gaze has been locked on the opponent's battle camp in the distance, which is almost invisible.
He seemed not to have listened to everyone's comments.
The two people who spoke looked at each other, then looked at General Cai, and could only shut up.
The thousands of elite soldiers present had no complaints in their hearts, but the general did not speak, so they could only continue to wait.
Such a wait is undoubtedly a long one.
Even if it's just a quarter of an hour, it feels like a long time has passed.
Finally, General Cai waved his hand, and with an order from the general's bodyguard, the soldiers returned to the city for the second time.
"Look, find Linglong for me, and her personal guards, find her for me too!"
General Cai was extremely angry.
"yes."
The personal guard nodded.
While the city is in chaos, there is no longer silence outside the city.
The army led by Dugu Yezhou finally caught up, and Feng Jiuer and Huo Baixue took the eight brothers who had left back to the war camp.
Before the people in the city had a chance to breathe, outside the city, Huo Baixue and Dugu Yezhou led their troops and prepared to attack the city.
Feng Jiuer led the archers and stationed themselves at various key points in advance.
The guards on the city wall noticed something was wrong and when they blew the horns, Huo Baixue had already led the team towards the city gate with great momentum.
"Woooo..." A quick, loud horn sound sounded.
Unexpectedly, he shouted lowly, and the guard who was blowing the horn was hit by an arrow and fell to the ground.
After preparing for two battles, the soldiers had not yet recovered from their fatigue. The enemy's sudden attack was undoubtedly disadvantageous for them.
The soldiers on the city wall were shot dead by the opponent's archers before they could shoot a few arrows.
Without Linglong, without a good leader to give orders, the soldiers were like scattered sand.
After a while, there was chaos on the city wall.
In the city, when he heard the sound of the trumpet, General Cai immediately became alert.
"Gather all the soldiers and defend the city gate to the death."
Without saying a word, General Cai dismounted and walked towards the city wall.
The guards took the order and immediately prepared battle arrangements.
But at this time, even the soldiers blowing the horns were hit by arrows and fell to the ground.
Feng Jiuer grasped this sentence and started to fight wits and courage with the people in the city.
The person who gave the order to open the city gate for the first time was indeed Linglong himself, and the soldier who pretended to pass Linglong's words for the second time was Huo Baixue's disguise.
However, the third time, it was really an attack on the city, it couldn't be faked.
