Chapter 360: Breaking into the Enemy Camp Alone
Wu Jing's words immediately hit the soft underbelly of everyone, now the siege will not work, the other party has a young general who is suspected of being a martial king, in the case of no one can restrain him, it is difficult to say whether he can capture Pingcheng, his own losses will definitely be very large; it is even more impossible for the army to take the initiative to attack while waiting for Pingcheng, the difference between the strength of the other party and his own is huge, and it is impossible to leave Pingcheng to fight with his own side.
It is useless to attack, and it is useless to defend, so what should we do? Our troops are constantly accumulating, and now there are more than 80,000 people stationed in the battalion, and even if we do nothing, the amount of grain and grass consumed every day is still astronomical!
The result of the rebels' discussion was exactly the same as Ye Heng's guess, that is, to clear the wilderness, besiege Pingcheng, cut off all supplies in Pingcheng, send troops to harass from time to time, take advantage of it, retreat if it can't win, and never let Pingcheng recuperate in peace.
With the final decision, the rebels immediately went into action, arranging tasks for the various generals and preparing for the eventual capture of Pingcheng.
That night, the night was dark and the wind was high, and the rebel camp was quiet, and a black shadow appeared silently in the darkness. The black shadow was very agile and did not make any sound, and quickly traveled to and from all parts of the camp, and the sentinels placed everywhere did not notice his whereabouts at all.
That black shadow was Ye Heng, who slept until midnight and quietly got up, put on a night coat and touched the rebel camp alone. He did not notify anyone in advance of his action, but it was not an impromptu idea, but was conceived during the meeting yesterday.
The two sides have entered a stalemate, fighting not only for patience, but also for consumption, and whoever can't afford it will have to lose. So Ye Heng acted alone and came to look for the enemy's food. Soon Ye Heng found the storage place of the rebels' grain and grass, and after easily eliminating the sentries here, he used the two payment rings on his body to take away a large amount of supplies, and then retreated to Pingcheng.
This repeated several times, the enemy's supplies were almost emptied, only some dry horse grass was reserved, and finally a fire was set on fire, and the camp where the enemy stored supplies was ignited, the fire borrowed the wind, the wind helped the fire, plus Ye Heng secretly urged with spiritual power, and the enemy camp soon ignited a skyrocketing fire!
When the sentinels in the distance suddenly discovered that there was a fire in the camp, they immediately screamed in panic, and the rebel soldiers woke up from their sleep, Wu Jing rushed out of the tent with bare feet, and immediately shouted hoarsely to put out the fire.
"What the hell is going on, what the hell is going on!" Wu Jing stomped his foot and roared.
No one could answer his question, and the enemy camp was in a mess and began to put out the fire in a panic. It's just that the fire is too fierce to be controlled for a while, and it has a tendency to continue to spread.
Ye Heng had already hid in the distance, hiding in a big tree to observe the enemy camp, and soon he found the barracks of the iron-clad guards, and took advantage of the opportunity for them to go to fight the fire, quickly sneaked over, swept away their equipment, and then retreated to the dark again satisfied.
The sentry guards of Heijo soon discovered the anomaly of the enemy camp and immediately notified General Gao Lang. Gao Lang hurried to the city wall, and when he saw a sky-high fire burning in the direction of the enemy camp, and the light of the fire illuminated half of the sky, he laughed unscrupulously with excitement. His laughter was so loud in the silence of the night that it immediately woke up many people.
Li Quanquan appeared at the head of the city in full gear, and he couldn't understand what Gao Lang was crazy in the middle of the night, so he came to check it out curiously. When he followed Gao Lang's gaze and saw the fire burning in the enemy camp, he also looked up to the sky and laughed, and he couldn't stop shouting: "Burn well! Burn well!"
The laughter of the two generals woke up more and more people, and some people climbed the city walls, and when they found out about the fire in the enemy camp, they all gloated and laughed! Everyone pointed at the enemy camp as if they were enjoying the fireworks of a festival, and everyone had a happy smile on their faces.
Lan Jiayue came to the city with a solemn expression, found General Gao and asked quietly, "General, have you seen Ye Heng?"
It turned out that after Lan Jiayue was woken up, she didn't see Ye Heng when she came to the city wall, so she went to look for it as soon as possible. When he came to Ye Heng's room, he didn't respond for a long time, and he broke in in a hurry, and found that Ye Heng's bed was cold, and obviously he was not in the room for a long time.
Lan Jiayue was uneasy, and immediately launched her body to look around, but she still didn't find Ye Heng's figure, so she came to the city to ask General Gao.
Gao Lang was only happy, and after hearing Lan Jiayue's question, he was stunned at first, and asked rhetorically, "Brother Ye Heng is gone?"
Lan Jiayue nodded fiercely with red eyes. Gao Lang has a very good impression of this girl who has been following Ye Heng quietly and quietly, although she is a woman dressed as a man, everyone can see that she is a handsome girl. When Gao Lang saw her appearance, he immediately knew that Ye Heng was really missing, and he was in a hurry, and immediately let go of the noise and shouted: "Has anyone seen Brother Ye Heng? Brother Ye Heng, where are you!"
The people on the left and right looked at each other, and no one had ever seen Ye Heng. Just as everyone was anxiously looking around, someone suddenly shouted, "Look, what is that?"
In the night, a group of dark shadows were moving rapidly in the direction of Heijo, and the earth rumbled with a shock!
Everyone's eyes turned to it, and Gao Lang shouted: "Alert!" The soldiers immediately returned to the various defensive positions, their bows and crossbows wound, and their weapons clenched!
It was close to Pingcheng, and I only heard the shouting from the other side: "Open the city gate, I am Ye Heng!"
"Hurry up and open the city gates!" Gao Lang immediately ordered, and led the city generals down to greet him.
As soon as the city gate opened, it didn't take long for a team of healthy horses to rush in, and a person sitting on the back of the leading horse was Ye Heng. Under the cover of the firelight, Ye Heng's face was pitch black, and he was grinning at this time and showing his big white teeth. Odd books
"General Gao, I've sent you a horse!" Ye Heng shouted.
"Good girl, Brother Ye Heng, where did you get so many horses, they are all good horses!" Gao Lang looked at the black horses in front of him and shouted excitedly. All the surrounding generals surrounded them, and went directly to take the reins of these horses, and kept looking up and down.
"It's a pity that the people who stole the Iron Guards are limited in manpower and only bring back so much. Ye Heng jumped off the horse and replied regretfully.
Li Quan glanced over, estimated that there were a hundred horses in this group, and said with emotion: "Brother Ye Heng, there are a lot of sincerity!"
Lan Jiayue saw that Ye Heng had returned safely, and finally let go of her hanging heart, quietly came to his side, looked up and down, and saw that Ye Heng was fine, smiled at him slightly, and stood quietly behind him.
Ye Heng nodded to her and said to Gao Lang: "General Gao, close the city gate, there are chasing soldiers behind, be careful to take the opportunity to attack the city!"
"Close the gates and be on guard!" Gao Lang immediately ordered in a loud voice.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for a group of cavalry to chase after them, gathered under the city and shouted at the soldiers on the city: "Shameless villain, stealing our army's war horses, be shameless!"
"You idiot, what kind of face do you have to ask for guilt in front of you who betrayed the Empire and slaughtered your colleagues? What thieves, these horses belong to our Shuntian Empire!Crossbowmen, release arrows!" Gao Lang scolded outside the city, and ordered them to be shot.
"Boom!"
Sharp arrows rained down, and immediately someone fell to the ground. These pursuers were all iron-clad guards, and they were actively fighting the fire, when they suddenly heard a loud sound of hooves, their horses rushed towards the outside of the camp, and immediately called their comrades to chase after them. The situation was urgent, so they didn't care about going back to the camp to put on their equipment, catch up with a few war horses that did not leave, and urge the horses to chase after them.
Along the way, he continued to give orders to the war horses that fell behind, which saved a lot of losses, but the departing war horses in front had already run away and could not see their figures, and could only hear the rumbling sound of horses' hooves. Unwilling to lose their horses, they continued to chase after them to the bottom of the city, where they were immediately killed and wounded in the face of a rain of arrows and a lack of protection from their equipment.
At this time, the gate of Pingcheng was wide open, and a group of cavalry rushed out of the city and rushed towards the iron-clad guards. Although the iron-clad guards did not wear armor, they did not panic at all, and someone shouted "Queue", and the scattered troops immediately formed a neat formation, each drawing out his personal weapons, all of which were sabers more than three feet long of the same standard.
"Kill!"
At the sound of an order, the ironclad guard actually charged. Since its establishment, the Iron Guards have rarely been defeated, even if they are not guarded by armor, even if they are blocked at the foot of other people's cities, even if there is no backup, they still do not have the arrogance to go to them first.
Ye Heng led the five hundred cavalry that had just been selected yesterday, shouted "rush", and rushed towards the iron-clad guards.
By Ye Heng's side, followed by the snow wolf wearing a white light armor, her eyes were full of killing intent, her face was cold, and she was holding a long sword out of her sheath. Tonight, she didn't find Ye Heng for the first time, Lan Jiayue's heart panicked for no reason, and she suddenly found that she was so dependent on Ye Heng. No one knew how helpless she was when she couldn't find Ye Heng, and no one knew how ecstatic she was when she saw Ye Heng return safely, but she didn't show it, just quietly stayed by his side. Only by his side will her heart be at ease.
However, as soon as the snow wolf's heart settled down, the iron-clothed guard actually chased after her, and she couldn't help but rise up with monstrous killing intent! These people were chasing Ye Heng, hunting down the people she cared about the most in this life, and hunting down the people she wanted to entrust her life!
"No matter who it is, as long as he dares to be unfavorable to my wolf king, I will kill whom!" the snow wolf roared in his heart, and suddenly jumped up from his horse and soared into the sky!
"What is she doing here?" Gao Lang, who was standing on the city wall watching the battle, muttered puzzled after seeing Lan Jiayue's actions.
"Gao Lang, this woman next to Brother Ye Heng is not simple! I guess she must be Ye Heng's lover, these people chased and killed Ye Heng and offended her against her scales. Women who are crazy about love are the most terrifying, and these iron-clad guards are going to be unlucky!" Li Quan stared at Lan Jiayue with blazing eyes and said slowly.
"Could it be that she is even more powerful than Brother Ye Heng?" I am worried that she will be in danger!" Gao Lang said sincerely, even he didn't notice that his conversation with Li Quan had become very natural, and there was no previous hostility.
"She may not be better than Brother Ye Heng, but she is also not easy to mess with, I don't believe you look at it carefully. Li Quan said confidently.
"I hope it's as you say!" Gao Lang said, still a little worried.
"Don't worry, she won't be in danger, even if she is in danger, with Ye Heng by her side, she will never have an accident, this is a man's most basic responsibility to his own woman, Ye Heng will not let his woman put himself in danger. Li Quan seemed to know Ye Heng very well, and said with great certainty.
