Long Chen led one hundred thousand Long family troops into the city. After entering the city, he immediately went out to calm the people and said that Daliang's army was back and everyone should not panic.
Wu Jian immediately sent an order to take over the city and fortifications. The Nanliang flag on the city wall remained the same, and everything looked normal.
at this time.
Xu Feng was leading the Black Armored Army in a large circle to the south of Zhongwu City.
He did not know that Zhongwucheng's soldiers and horses had withdrawn, and the Black Armored Army was on the march, and could not get in touch with the ghosts and Li Chengdao.
It was getting dark at night, and the army returned to the official road. Xuanjizi was bitten all over by mosquitoes.
"Walking along any mountain trail, I didn't see the Long Family Army at all."
Xuanjizi complained all the way.
Xu Feng ignored the mystery and continued to lead his troops north.
"You two go ahead and see what's going on in Zhongwucheng."
Xu Feng was very cautious. He was worried that after the defeat of Linhu City, Zhongwucheng would also be raided by the Long Family Army.
When marching and fighting, the waiting cavalry must explore dozens or even hundreds of miles ahead.
Hou Qi immediately headed north to investigate, while Xu Feng led his army slowly north.
The official road was easy to walk, and the spies quickly arrived at the south gate of Zhongwu City.
There is a brazier burning on the city, the flag of Nanliang is still there, and soldiers wearing Nanliang military uniforms are patrolling.
The spies arrived at the city and shouted: "Brother, is everything okay in the city?"
On the city, after hearing the shouting, Wu Jian came over immediately.
The Long family army are all from the Zhou Dynasty, and their accent is different from that of Nanliang.
Wu Jian looked at the city and shouted: "Are you the Black Armored Army?"
Wu Jian is an authentic Nanliang native and speaks with a very correct accent.
Hearing the sound, the spies shouted: "We are from the Black Armored Army. General Xu will be here soon. Open the city gate quickly."
Wu Jian was secretly happy and shouted to the spies: "Brother, it's dark at night and you can't open the door. You said it was the Black Armored Army. Let General Xu Feng come in person."
"When we see General Xu Feng, we will naturally open the door. If we don't see General Xu, no one can come in."
Such an answer was normal, and the spies did not have any suspicion.
On the contrary, if Wu Jian opened the door easily, it would be suspicious.
The spy immediately got back on his horse and ran south.
Returning to the Black Armored Army, the spy reported to Xu Feng: "General Xu, there is no problem in Zhongwucheng. The defenders have not retreated yet."
Xu Feng felt relieved. The defenders of Zhongwucheng were still there, which meant that the surrounding area was safe.
If Zhongwucheng is lost, Xu Feng must continue to march south and return to Qingren County via the trail.
Moreover, there is a risk of being ambushed along the way.
"Walk."
Xu Feng ordered the army to speed up and advance.
Inside Zhongwu City.
Wu Jian entered the commander's residence excitedly, while Long Chen was checking the classics and documents left behind.
Liu Feibai was very cautious and destroyed the key documents when he left. Long Chen only found some insignificant records.
"Sir, the Black Armored Army's cavalry has arrived. I guess the Black Armored Army will be arriving soon."
Wu Jian was a little excited. Gan Zhen heard this and said excitedly: "Sir, destroy the Black Armored Army in one fell swoop!"
After Linhu City won the battle, Long Chen estimated that the defenders of Zhongwucheng would choose to retreat. ⑧①ZW.????m
Once retreated, Zhongwu City will become an empty city and can be occupied.
At this time, Long Chen took a gamble.
He bet that the Black Armored Army would come back.
Linhu City was defeated, and Xianhe City was an isolated city. If Xu Feng stayed in Xianhe City, he would be waiting for death.
Xu Feng must abandon Xianhe City and retreat. He certainly cannot take the original official road, which will easily lead to an ambush.
If you don't take the official road, it's difficult to determine other trails, so Long Chen gave up the idea of ambush halfway and instead waited in Zhongwucheng.
Of course, Long Chen was not sure that Xu Feng would definitely come.
He was betting that if Xu Feng returned to Zhongwucheng to meet Li Chengdao, the matter would be settled.
During the march, Xu Feng had no way of knowing the situation in Zhongwucheng.
Long Chen's bet was right, Xu Feng really came.
To do things, strength and luck are indispensable.
"Don't get excited, everything is going according to plan."
Long Chen immediately stood up, put on Nanliang's clothes and armor, and hung a three-foot sword on his waist.
Wu Jian and Han Ziping immediately took action and waited for Xu Feng to enter the city.
Soon, torches appeared in sight.
One hundred thousand black-armored troops marched holding torches, looking like a fiery snake snaking in the dark night.
When the leading troops arrived at the city, the young general shouted outside the south gate: "The black-armored army has returned to the city, open the door!"
Wu Jian lay on the city gate and shouted: "Brother, show us the voucher, otherwise we will not let you go. This is General Liu's order."
The young general did not argue and immediately raised the token, and the people next to him illuminated it with a torch.
Xu Feng looked up at the city from behind, feeling a little weird in his heart.
Xuanjizi was so exhausted that he didn't care about the situation in Zhongwucheng at all.
He just wanted to take a comfortable bath after entering the city, and then find a beautiful woman to vent his feelings.
After confirming the voucher, Wu Jian shouted to open the door.
The city gate slowly opened, and Xu Feng led the black-armored army into the city. It was very quiet inside and the streets were empty.
There is a curfew in Zhongwucheng, so it is not surprising that there are few people at night. Everyone is very tired.
Once inside the city, Xu Feng walked straight to the general's mansion.
"Is the Emperor still in the city?"
Xu Feng turned to ask the soldiers. He wanted to ask about Liu Feibai's army, but strangely, there was no one in Liu Feibai's army. They were only on the city wall.
"Um?"
Xu Feng suddenly stopped, Xuan Jizi was still walking forward, and the general beside him also stopped.
"What's wrong, General?"
The young general looked at Xu Feng doubtfully.
Da da da...
More than a dozen horses came running towards me. Judging by their armor, they were from Nanliang.
Xu Feng looked up and saw that the leader was wearing an ordinary captain's military uniform, and behind him were also dressed as low-level officers.
Xu Feng became more and more confused and asked: "Where is Liu Feibai!"
The visitor did not answer, but continued to approach...
"stop!"
The young general next to him stopped him and scolded him.
Suddenly, two dragon-shaped zhenqi condensed, one heading towards Xuan Jizi and the other towards Xu Feng.
Xuanjizi was wilting and had no place at all. Dragon-shaped Qi suddenly appeared. Xuanjizi was so frightened that he shouted: "Long Chen!"
Xuan Jizi had seen Long Chen's methods, and when he saw that this dragon-shaped Qi was Long Chen, Xuan Jizi was so frightened that he flew out of his mind.
boom!
Xuanjizi was in front, and his true energy exploded. Xuanjizi flew up from his horse, and arrows suddenly shot down. Wu Jian jumped down and went straight for Xuanjizi.
Xu Feng was behind, and when the dragon-shaped zhenqi hit him, Xu Feng was stunned for a moment.
He instantly understood that Zhongwucheng had been occupied by Long Chen and he had fallen into a trap.
"There's an ambush! Get out!"
Xu Feng shouted, the dragon-shaped Qi had already arrived. Xu Feng was furious and waved out a blast of Qi to meet him.
The true energy exploded, and Xu Feng was unable to match Long Chen's cultivation. He was knocked backwards and crashed into the black-armored army.
With one successful blow, Long Chen immediately pounced on Xu Feng, using a black long sword in his hand to kill all the generals who blocked his way.
These people have low cultivation levels and are no match for Long Chen.
Long Chen took action and fired arrows from the city at random at the black-armored troops on the street.
The ambush troops of the Long Family Army outside the city took action at the same time, firing random arrows and muskets, and the black-armored army was beaten dizzy.
