This sentence seemed to touch some serious taboo. In an instant, the torches and braziers on the south gate of Yueyang Pass were lit one after another. In just a blink of an eye, a line of fire stretched from left to right in front of Yelu Shenxuan.
The endless fire dragon rises from the sky and the earth.
Then there were noisy shouts from the city wall.
The guards around Yelu Shenxuan immediately became nervous.
After all, they were only a few hundred meters away from the Crescent Gate city gate at this moment. If the city gate were wide open at this moment, it wouldn't take more than a few hundred elite cavalry to chase them down and kill them.
"Prince, it's time to go."
One of the guards reminded me.
Yelu Shenxuan shook his head and said, "Don't worry, let's take another look."
"Let me take a closer look at how capable the Crescent Pass, which has blocked our Liao cavalry for decades, is."
The guard looked anxious and said: "But if the Qin army leaves the city, the risk is too great for us."
"They don't dare to leave the city easily."
Yelu Shenxuan said with confidence: "After dealing with the Qin people for so many years, don't you know that they have long been accustomed to hiding within the protection of the city wall and never dare to take the initiative to attack easily?"
"What's more, it was late at night, the surroundings were dark, and our Liao army suddenly withdrew again. They were the ones who were anxious. They didn't know what we wanted to do. At this juncture, they heard that the prince of Liao was coming.
, won’t you be suspicious and hesitant? What if this is a trick and you want to deceive them into opening the city gate, what will you do then?”
Yelu Shenxuan chuckled lightly, his eyes full of contempt, and said lightly: "Qin has been weak for so many years, and the courage and pride in his bones have been completely wiped out. The guard on the south city gate at this moment will definitely not easily open the city gate to send troops.
, would rather watch us leave than risk the city gate being lost and open the city gate to pursue us."
"After all, he just missed an opportunity when we left. But if the city gate is tricked into opening, all nine of his family members will be beheaded."
Yelu Shenxuan's words became a prophecy.
Although there were crowds of people at the south city gate, the gate was indeed closed and not opened.
On the city gate tower, the guard who was guarding the south gate at this time was named Hu Tai. He was a professional soldier born and raised in Yueyangguan. Two generations of his family had been in the army. It was passed down to him, and he finally held the position of general.
body.
At this time, his brows were deeply furrowed, and his eyes were fixed on the darkness ahead. Several figures could be vaguely seen standing there, but he couldn't see exactly how many people there were or who they were.
"General Hu, what should we do?" one of his subordinates asked.
Hu Tai frowned, feeling that it was very difficult.
If he had heard Yelu Shenxuan's words at this time, he would probably admire that what he was thinking was completely predicted by Yelu Shenxuan, and it was accurate.
Even though he knew that if Yelu Shenxuan was really coming in person, he did not dare to open the city gate easily.
After all, the fact that Yelu Shenxuan suddenly broke away from the large army and ran to the Crescent Pass was unbelievable. If something went wrong and he fell into the Liao army's plan, he would probably be doomed.
Not only him, but the entire Yueyangguan will suffer disaster.
He would never have the guts to make this decision.
"Has the identity of the man who just claimed to be a scout of our army been verified?" Hu Tai asked.
The subordinate shook his head, glanced at the location of the scout's body, and said, "It's too far away to see clearly, but judging from his clothes, he is indeed my sergeant from Crescent Pass."
