Wen Zhong, Jia Fu, Pei Yuanqing, Yue Yun, Zhang Xian and Yu Hua all rode their horses on the long street.
The faces of the generals were filled with ecstasy. They captured Longyue City without spending a single soldier in this battle and completed the first step of Emperor Chu's deployment. They had lived up to the divine grace.
As the war horses were neighing in the wind, a figure suddenly appeared on the long street. He knelt down and raised his fists to salute, "The last general is carrying the Wei army's vanguard captain. I have seen all the generals."
See the situation.
Wen Zhong and others reined in their horses and focused their attention on the incoming man. Today's battle could be so simple because of this man's indispensable contribution.
If he hadn't disguised himself as an enemy scout and spread the news of the defeat of Feilong Pass into the city, the enemy forces in Longtang would not have abandoned the city.
"You have made great achievements today. When the war is over, I will definitely report it to His Majesty!"
"General, I have something else to report!"
"Well, what's the matter with you? Please tell me quickly!"
Wen Zhong raised his hand to signal the captain to stand up and asked.
"General, I heard with my own ears the deployment of the enemy forces in Longtang, and they are preparing to ambush our army in the Wild Boar Forest!"
"An ambush in the wild boar forest?"
Wen Zhong turned around and signaled that the general behind him brought up the military topography map, opened the map and browsed through it.
"The journey to the Wild Boar Forest is not too far. It can be reached in half a day through the Wild Eagle Peak. Since the enemy is willing to set up an ambush in the Wild Boar Forest, let them wait patiently!"
After hearing what Wen Zhong said, all the generals laughed wildly. Only the captain was confused and didn't know what they meant.
"Come here, pass on the order. The army will defend Longyue City. The defense of the four cities must not be taken lightly!"
Hearing Zhong Zong's order, he ordered the soldiers to pick up their reins and return to their horses, and quickly rushed down the long street.
"General, since you already know that the enemy has set up an ambush in the Wild Boar Forest, why don't you take them by surprise and attack them unprepared, and completely defeat the enemy in Longyue City?"
In the end, the captain couldn't hold himself back any longer and asked with a frightened look on his face.
"There is no need to pursue. I will guard Longyue City under His Majesty's orders. As for the Longtang enemy in Wild Boar Forest, let them fend for themselves!"
The words fell.
The generals picked up their reins, clapped their horses, and galloped towards the general's palace in the city.
The enemy troops of the Longtang Dynasty withdrew from Longyue City in light clothing and carried only grain, grass and dry food for five days at most. As long as they could not wait for the Chu army in the wild boar forest, they would lose all their grain and grass after five days. At that time, they would not attack.
break.
Wen Zhong felt that there was no need to mobilize troops and wait for five days. Maybe the enemy troops would come to their door automatically. Now that Longyue City was in their hands, the enemy troops outside the city had completely become homeless and alone.
Alone, time will break down their psychological defenses, and they will eventually become scattered and run away.
............
The golden crow sets in the west and the jade rabbit rises in the east.
Ye Ying Peak was shrouded in mist. Generals Hou Junji and Xin Wenli led their troops to set up an ambush on the peak to wait for the Chu army to arrive. This time, the two of them deployed carefully and believed that they would be able to severely damage the Chu army.
Time flew by, and in a blink of an eye, the ink-like night covered the sky and the earth. The two of them stood with their hands behind their hands, looking up towards Longyue City.
The void fell into darkness, and there was deathly silence between heaven and earth.
There was no sign of the pursuers coming. Hou Junji couldn't help but look anxious, and he had an ominous premonition in his heart.
one day.
Another day.
Four days passed in a flash.
Hou Junji sent dozens of scouts to Longyue City to investigate, and when they came back, they all gave the same answer.
"The city gates are closed and guarded to the death!"
It was not until this moment that Hou Junji accepted the fact. They handed over Longyue City to the Chu army and allowed the soldiers of the three armies to hide in the wilderness for four days.
Hou Junji stood up and glanced at Xin Wenli. The two of them walked towards the side of the mountain and came to the edge of the cliff. There were clouds and mist in front of them, the breeze blew by, and their shirts were billowing. They felt like they were in a fairyland.
"New general, the Chu army will not leave the city, what should we do next!"
"In the battle of Longyue City, you were at a disadvantage in defending the city. You will not be able to escape your guilt after returning to Longdu."
Hou Junji frowned, looking worried.
"General, the officers and soldiers of the three armies are short of food and grass. They can only hold on for one day at most. The general has been thinking about what to do next."
"If we can't find a place for the three armies to stay, we will be in disarray and finally think that we should go to Feilong Pass to join the commander."
Xin Wenli was still worried, but he knew that for the present, joining the army might be the best way. Staying at Yeying Peak would be a dead end.
"If you lose your city, how can you have the dignity to see the commander-in-chief?"
"Wait a little longer. When Miss Linglong returns, maybe we still have a chance!"
Hou Junji let out a long sigh, his face full of sorrow. Even now, he is still unwilling to give up Longyue City to the Chu army and looks forward to Xin Linglong completing the mission.
In the blink of an eye, another three days passed, and all the edible food on Yeying Peak was looted by 50,000 Longtang soldiers. Now some soldiers were beginning to think about quitting.
They thought it was better to stay at Yeying Peak and wait for death than to go down the mountain and escape. Many people began to make plans to make a move. During this period, some people escaped and were discovered.
Hou Junji killed more than ten people in a rage, which was a short-term shock. However, he knew that it would not be a long-term solution. If the soldiers of the three armies could not find a way to survive, they would eventually break into chaos.
At that time, it was not as simple as killing a few people.
At noon, the sun penetrated the branches and fell on the ground. The soldiers of the Longtang Dynasty leaned lazily on the ancient trees, each one drowsy, and their morale was extremely low.
now.
Even if the Chu army arrives in the city, it is unclear whether they can go down the mountain in their current state. Going into battle to kill the enemy is simply a weak shrimp, and their combat effectiveness is even worse.
Da da da~
Da da da~
The rumble of horse hooves suddenly came from the wilderness. Hou Junji followed the sound and suddenly stood up to look down the mountain. He saw only five fast horses galloping in the wilderness. He frowned and stretched his eyes slightly.
A look of ecstasy appeared on her cheeks.
"Miss Linglong is back, she has completed her mission!"
Hou Junji murmured, feeling very excited, and quickly rushed towards the foot of the mountain.
A little while.
The five men reined in their horses at the foot of the mountain. Xin Linglong looked around and found no trace of a fierce struggle at all, and there was doubt in her eyes.
Didn't the Chu army show up?
At this moment, Hou Junji led a hundred Xuanjia soldiers down the mountain, holding the sword at his waist and striding forward.
"Brother, long time no see, see you and stay safe!"
"Third brother!"
Nangong Shi jumped off his horse, ran forward and took Hou Junji into his arms. The two seven-foot-tall men hugged each other, which showed the deep affection between them.
"Third brother, Miss Linglong has informed me of everything. As long as the third brother says a word, the eldest brother will immediately follow his lead and never flinch back even a step."
Nangong Shi's voice was sonorous and powerful. He suddenly thought of something and then turned around and pointed at the three people on horseback behind him to introduce them.
"Third brother, the three of them are also my brothers. From now on, they will also obey third brother's orders!"
"Wei Bi, Zheng Lun, and Chen Qi, why don't you hurry up and see my third brother!"
Hearing the sound, the four people on horseback dismounted, strode forward, fisted in greeting, and looked at Hou Junji with a somewhat arrogant expression.
