Chapter 428: The Rebels Change
The silver mang disappeared in Ye Heng's mind, making him feel that his strength had become much stronger; the purple divine dragon returned to his body, Ye Heng felt that his Heavenly Wolf Clan's bloodline instantly became stronger, but he didn't bother to check his own changes, and immediately talked to the old priest.
"I'll talk about it later, there's a war going on outside?" Although the old priest wanted to talk to Ye Heng very much, when he found that the swords inside and outside Pingcheng were unsheathed and the swords were tense, he immediately asked.
"Chen Shuizhou's army betrayed the Shuntian Empire at the instigation of the Taiyin Sect, and now controls two states, Pingcheng is the last remaining city in Guping Prefecture, and we are guarding here. Ye Heng briefly introduced the battle situation.
"Are you sure you won, then?" asked the old priest.
"Yes, the turnaround is likely to be tonight!" Ye Heng replied confidently.
"Then you go and get busy with your business, I just absorbed too much soul power, I have to hurry up and refine, let's have a good chat when I go back." The old priest put his mind at ease, it seemed that he didn't need to continue to make his own moves, and decided to let Ye Heng deal with the affairs of Pingcheng by himself.
Ye Heng nodded and said, "Then I'll go......!"
"What's wrong?"
"It's good that you're awake!" Ye Heng said with a smile.
The awakening of the old priest not only helped Ye Heng solve Chu Si and help him get through the life and death mark, but also made him feel an unprecedented sense of security, just like a wandering child who finally came home, and his empty heart was filled with warm warmth in a blink of an eye.
"I'm also very pleased to see you grow up to this point!" said the old priest with a smile.
"Teacher, then I'll go. Ye Heng said again.
The old priest waved his hand, and Ye Heng's divine sense withdrew from his body. When his eyes returned to clarity, Snow Wolf immediately felt that the current Ye Heng was very different from before, and hurriedly asked, "Wolf King, are you okay?"
"Wolf Nier, I'm fine, and it's even better than before!" Ye Heng shook her slender hand and said with a smile, looking at the snow wolf's eyes full of tenderness. Seeing the truth in adversity, how did the snow wolf treat him, Ye Heng knew very well in his heart, if he had a wife like this, what more could the husband ask for?
"Let's go back to the city, it's safe in the city. The snow wolf glanced at the rebels outside the city and said softly.
"Okay, let's go back first, but soon we will attack the city again!" Ye Heng said with a smile, and after speaking, he pulled the snow wolf and jumped onto the city wall.
"City Lord, how are you?" As soon as Ye Heng and the snow wolf appeared at the head of the city, Gao Lang immediately stepped forward and asked.
"I'm fine. General Gao, immediately reorganize the army, soon we will counterattack, this time we must completely defeat the rebels!" Ye Heng said loudly.
"City Lord, we have just retreated to the city, and we are about to attack again, is it too hasty?" Gao Lang asked puzzledly, if he didn't know that Ye Heng would not harm the Pingcheng Army, his way of commanding was simply nonsense, according to Gao Lang's temper, if someone else said so, it would be strange if he didn't scold his mother.
"Hehehe, General Gao, our reinforcements are about to arrive, understand?" Ye Heng laughed happily and told Gao Lang the reason for this arrangement.
"City Lord, what you said is true, that's great!" Gao Lang jumped three feet high excitedly, happy like a child.
"You go and arrange it, as soon as the reinforcements appear, we will go out of the city, attack from both sides, and catch the rebels off guard!" Ye Heng urged.
"Okay, I'll arrange it!" Gao Lang immediately jumped off the city wall, regrouped his army, and prepared to attack the rebels again.
Zhang Rui saw that Chu Si did not appear for a long time, and knew that he must be more than lucky, and he didn't know what to do for a while. Finally, the army was ordered to return to the camp to rest and not attack Pingcheng again. After all, after attacking the city for two days and one night, there was another fierce battle just now, and the soldiers were already exhausted, not to mention that he himself had no confidence in victory.
Although Wu Haoren, the leader of the Taiyin Sect, had to obey his orders, it would be unwise to do it knowing that he could not do it. Of course, Heiseong still has to fight, but the current state of the army is really not conducive to continuing the war, so let's let the army rest for a night before making plans!
The rebels had just retreated to rest in the camp of General Yang Ziang, stationed in the south of the city, where he was secretly meeting with several of his cronies.
"General, we all listen to you, I don't want to fight this battle in the first place, it's too much!" said one of his cronies.
"That's good, it's going to change later, we'll act tonight!" Yang Ziang immediately made a decision and said, "You guys go back and act separately, you must be careful, you must not be discovered by Zhang Rui's people!"
Everyone agreed and quietly retreated, and then Yang Linfeng said to his father: "Dad, will others think that we are capricious villains by others when we do this, so what should we do if we are not accepted?"
"Linfeng, this kind of suspicion may be shared by others, but this person will never be! You can rest assured, how can Dad drag you to death? There are some things that are not convenient to tell you now, and you will naturally understand when you get there. Yang Ziang said solemnly.
Yang Linfeng relieved himself and said, "Dad, then I'll go and prepare, and I'll leave the matter to me." ”
Yang Ziang nodded silently, and watched his son leave, and then muttered to himself: "My Yang family has been loyal and good for generations, even if I have been unjust and framed, how can I really defect to the enemy and commit treason! After tonight, we can face everyone with our heads held high!"
Zhang Rui had been restless and restless in the camp, and he had a sense of foreboding, not to mention that there were still nearly 50,000 troops in Chen Shuizhou, and the strength of the troops was many times that of the Pingcheng army, but Pingcheng might really not be able to defeat it! The helpers of the Taiyin Sect could no longer be counted on at all, and there was not one in ten elite troops in the army, and now the morale was low, the food and grass were insufficient, and there were more and more unfavorable factors. Zhang Rui is racking his brains to figure out how to bring down Pingcheng.
The sky was getting darker and darker, and nearly two thousand people had gathered inside the north gate of Heijo. These people were arguably the last of the fighting forces in Heiseong, and they were all excited when they received the order to continue the attack on the rebels. It's just that after the assembly, the city lord did not immediately order to go out of the city, but let everyone eat and drink first, and then rest in place.
By the end of the day, the rebel camp had become quiet, and most of them, except for the soldiers in charge of the guard, were already asleep. The continuous siege had exhausted them, and they could finally rest, and many of them fell asleep with their pillows on their heads, snoring louder and louder.
In the southern part of Pingcheng, Yang Ziang's station is also quiet, but the lighting here is obviously less than in other places, and it is even darker. Suddenly, several figures flashed from all over the camp, killing all the spies who were spying on them cleanly.
Yang Ziang walked out of the tent at this time, looked around, and strode towards the south, although he walked quickly, he did not make a sound of stampede, which shows that his kung fu is not weak. Soon, figures continued to appear behind him from the shadows, and these people were supposed to be his personal guards, protecting him all the way south.
After that, the heavily armed soldiers crept out of the tents and slowly retreated into the shadows. Some soldiers came to the stable and pulled out the war horse, the four hooves of the war horse had already been wrapped in cotton cloth, and left the camp quietly with the master.
Yang Linfeng took the Dragon and Tiger Battalion to hide around the camp and was engrossed in guarding, until the 20,000 troops quietly and without danger, they all left the hiding place and chased after the army.
At this time, Zhang Rui was still kept in the dark and knew nothing about Yang Ziang's departure. Although he arranged for people to monitor Yang Ziang, he did not do it very secretly, and Yang Ziang had already noticed it, but he wasted a few lives in vain, and in the end he did not get useful information.
It was nearly midnight, Zhang Rui still couldn't think of a way to take down Pingcheng, at this time he still didn't feel sleepy, paced out of the camp alone, looked at Pingcheng in front of him, sighed helplessly, and began to stroll in the camp.
When the soldiers standing guard saw Zhang Rui, they immediately saluted him. Zhang Rui nodded in response, continued to walk aimlessly, unconsciously walked around Pingcheng for half a circle, and when he came to the south of the city where Yang Ziang was stationed, he suddenly felt very wrong.
Zhang Rui looked around, and finally found the reason why something was wrong, it turned out that there was no one to guard here, he walked all the way, and there was no sound when he arrived here, which was completely unreasonable. How could Yang Ziang make such a low-level mistake? Zhang Rui's heart immediately froze, and he secretly prayed that nothing would happen!
Zhang Rui entered a nearby camp tent and found that it was empty! A stream of cold air poured from the top of his head to the soles of his feet, Zhang Rui hurriedly withdrew, and came to another camp tent to check.
Zhang Rui went crazy and looked at six camp tents in a row, and found that all the people inside were empty, and there was no one in the building, so he couldn't help but be in a hurry, ran out of the camp tent and shouted: "Urgently assemble! Hurry, urgently assemble!"
Zhang Rui's voice was particularly loud in the silent midnight, and the person in charge of the guard immediately notified everywhere, and after the sleeping soldiers were woken up, many people got up and angrily scolded the people who woke them up. However, scolding and scolding, making trouble, and the military order is like a mountain, everyone still quickly dressed and immediately went outside to gather, but many people were still confused and not sober.
They can't be blamed for this situation, after all, they are too tired in the past two days, and they have just slept for a long time, so they have to gather urgently, and it is already very good to be able to get up.
The movement of the rebels was too great, and it immediately alarmed the Heijo side.
"Could it be that they found out?" Ye Heng jumped on the city wall in surprise to check, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he found that the rebels were not fighting with anyone. Then he became nervous again, and said to himself, "Why haven't they come yet?"
"City Lord, the reason for the urgent assembly of the rebels has been found! The herald in the south of the city said that after the rebels gathered, no one appeared in the south of the city, and all the troops that were stationed there disappeared, and the assembled rebels were moving there. It didn't take long for Gao Lang to run up the city wall and report to Ye Heng.
"God help me!" Ye Heng slapped his thigh excitedly and said loudly.
Yang Ziang in the south of the city did not storm Pingcheng in the past two days, and sometimes even only feints, so their army was the most intact. Whatever the reason, since they disappeared, it was a great thing for the defenders of Pingcheng, and it also reduced the difficulty of defending the city.
"General Gao, be ready to fight at any time!" The enemy army is definitely in turmoil now, and has no intention of fighting, let them toss first, and then we will catch them off guard!" Ye Heng said confidently.
"City Lord, the warriors have been ready for a long time, now just wait for your order, we will immediately rush out and kill them without leaving a piece of armor!" Gao Cheng said excitedly, seeing the panicked appearance of the rebels, he was confident enough to win more with less and achieve victory.
"Don't worry, wait!" Ye Heng said patiently. Then he looked to the north and looked expectantly.
"Brother Ye, don't look at it, are you waiting for me?" It didn't take long for a voice to come from Ye Heng's right side. The voice was far away at first, and after finishing speaking, a black figure had already appeared in front of Ye Heng.
