Zhou Dewei traveled all the way, and he had doubts in his heart. It wasn't until I came to the military service city that I let go of my worries a little. I thought there was going to be a big battle, but I didn't know that there was an empty city in front of me, and from what I saw in front of me at this time, it had been empty for a long time, otherwise how could they break through the city so easily.

Military Service City, as the name suggests, is a city that the soldiers of Longshou County take turns to defend. It's just that unlike ordinary cities, most of the residents here are soldiers and their families, and there is no fixed inhabitation. It is often rotated once a season, so there are few soft here, only the Zhan Banner that symbolizes the military system, waving in front of the people's house.

At this time, the soldiers led by Zhou Dewei have all been integrated into the city's houses, and the cold that wants to come all the way has made his mother a little unbearable. It's just that Zhou Dewei still stood in front of the city gate and didn't move, and there were still a few white-clothed people from Penglai Immortal Mountain standing beside him, who were also silent.

Zhou Dewei watched the soldiers' actions coldly, without any orders. When there were no more soldiers in front of him, he turned around and walked to the city gate and asked softly, "What do you think?" "There are scars of swords and axes on the city gates, and they are impressive. Zhou Dewei raised his hand to cover it, the touch was still fresh, not as if it had been dusty for a long time, but a new injury that had only been added in recent days.

Hearing what Zhou Dewei said, the person who was the leader of Penglai Immortal Mountain smiled faintly, "Even if there is a difference here, the general doesn't need to worry." ”

"What do you mean by that?" Zhou Dewei did not look up, but he meant something. As soon as he entered the city, he had already noticed that although it was still daylight in front of him, it was actually a cold night, and it was just that this group of people in white had used a trick to disturb his senses. He can't debunk it, and the two parties are in the same boat at this time, but now that he knows it, he has a little more heart. But the soldiers under his command didn't know it.

The man in white dusted off the dust, looked up at the sky, and with a casual move, the originally clear sky was instantly shrouded in dark clouds, almost like a torrential rain. Zhou Dewei tugged at the corners of his mouth and showed a sneer, but he didn't say anything, just observed the scars on the city gate, waiting for the man's answer.

The white-clothed man in Penglai Immortal Mountain began to walk towards the city wall, and Zhou Dewei straightened his waist and looked back, with a puzzled look in his eyes. It wasn't until those people stood still that the leader said in his usual "immortal tone": "As far as we can see, this was left a few days ago, but I don't know if it was done deliberately or out of necessity?" ”

"Oh? What is deliberate? Why is it a last resort? Zhou Dewei suddenly became interested, but his right hand was already pressed on the handle of the knife at his waist, as if he was alert.

The people of Penglai Xianshan turned a blind eye, and the few white-clothed people standing at the city wall suddenly struck towards the city wall, Zhou Dewei only heard a bang in his ears, and the soldiers also came out with their swords, full of surprise.

Zhou Dewei didn't know why these people were there, so he could only explain, "You don't have to worry, the vision is an immortal magic, and it has nothing to do with the military situation. ”

Hearing Zhou Dewei's words, although the soldiers still had doubts, they still retreated in a huff. At this point, there is nothing more worthwhile for them than to rest. After Zhou Dewei calmed everyone, he turned around and looked over again, but the feet of those people were all covered with ashes, and their internal breath was still stable, and it seemed that all of them were masters of internal cultivation.

Zhou Dewei remained silent, but quietly walked to the person who was the leader. The latter took a few steps back at will, and after keeping a sufficient distance from Zhou Dewei, he spoke: "General, please look, there are also traces of slashing and axes and siege fire on the city wall. And the people who were in the city before deliberately covered it up and wanted to come and go in a hurry. ”

Zhou Dewei's heart was suddenly shocked, and he said in a deep voice: "Then according to what the immortal master said, the people in the city have not gone far?" ”

"If it's true, maybe it's still in the city." The person headed by Penglai Immortal Mountain shook off the dust again, and pointed in a few directions at random, as if hinting at the difference in these places.

Zhou Dewei didn't know, but he couldn't make up his mind for a while. According to his judgment, he must not be so reckless. But one came to the army and was tired and had to rest here, and the other came to try the true strength and purpose of these people. In this way, you will be able to win.

At this time, there is nothing unusual in the city, except for the dilapidated houses, the city gates, the long streets are empty, and the wine shops and tea shops are also pierced by the night wind, this is just an empty city that has been abandoned for a long time. Judging from what the soldiers saw, there were no ordinary tables and chairs in the houses, and not even a single tea cup was left. Fortunately, the Tang soldiers had the habit of carrying stoves with them, so they quickly settled down without much impact.

But Zhou Dewei felt that a long-planned war was about to begin......

The white-clothed people of Penglai Xianshan did not stay here for long, and under the orders of the leader, the two suddenly left the city, while the rest of the people scattered into the city and disappeared. Seeing this, Zhou Dewei snapped, "Immortal masters, what does this mean?" ”

It was during the sharp period of the war between the two armies, and the white-clothed man of Penglai Immortal Mountain appeared very strangely, and he made an unusual move at this time, which really has to make people suspicious. When entering the city, Zhou Dewei had already laid an ambush outside the city, just in case there was a change. And what I saw at this time, it seems that there was nothing wrong with the original caution.

The two immortal masters who floated out of the city were blocked, and the white-clothed people in the city suddenly stopped and looked back. It's just that the softness in his gaze turns cold, and the sleeves of his coat hunt in the wind. The person headed by Penglai Xianshan still didn't make the slightest move, but the originally kind eyes suddenly turned cold, and there was no trace of kindness on his cheeks.

Zhou Dewei suddenly felt that something was wrong, and quickly drew his sword and shouted forward, "Prepare for war!" But when this sound started, there were already gongs and drums in the city, and those white-clothed people who called themselves Penglai Xianshan did not retreat but advanced, and began to rush towards Zhou Dewei. What made Zhou Dewei's back chill was that in the originally empty houses, the shouts of killing were loud, and a group of unsuspecting soldiers became the souls of others.

And he had no time to care about it at this time, and the Pu knife in his hand turned sharply and slashed around. And this overnight change was done by the old Xie Ge in Longshou County. Penglai Xianshan comes from overseas, which originated in the Later Zhou Dynasty, so although it is involved in the Later Tang Dynasty, it is still the same as the branches.

In this way, under the guidance of Xie Ge Lao, this group of people who do not eat fireworks in the world also began to do the business of killing people and overselling goods. And there were ambushes in the city here, and the initial temptations were just to dispel Zhou Dewei's doubts, so that they could throw themselves into the net.

But Zhou Dewei is not an easy person to take the bait. Whoever pays attention to it has made him all the way to today. Therefore, this situation was also in his guess, but he had a little luck, but unexpectedly, these people suddenly turned their faces, and did not leave Zhou Dewei a chance to react at all. In the aftermath of the initial riots, the soldiers showed unusual fighting and a desire to survive. This is the result of years of indoctrination by Zhou Dewei, and it is also the belief he has always adhered to. Several people flew out of the houses, and the silent long street was suddenly filled with shouts and shouts of killing, as well as cursing and spitting, and one after another wails sounded in the ears.

If it was just like this, Zhou Dewei felt that it was no big deal, but dozens of torches suddenly appeared at the head of the city, and suddenly lit up the ink night, accompanied by the sound of monstrous drums, an empty city instantly turned into a killing city.

Zhou Dewei fought and retreated, blocking the fierce offensive from all directions, it was too late to look back, but he did not forget to order, "Kill those who see the enemy!" Kill! Kill! ”

The soldiers danced at the sound of the sound, and the swords in their hands were full of life under the reflection of blood and torches, and slashed at the enemies who were constantly emerging from under the houses. Zhou Dewei had been forced into the long street at this time, avoiding the surprise attack of the few white-clothed men, and he had to guard against the enemy troops crowded around. At this time, a group of ambush soldiers outside the city was blocked by those two people, and it was a stalemate for a while.

The drums at the head of the city were thundering, and Zhou Dewei's mind turned sharply and shouted: "Quickly disperse the four gates, and break through first!" The soldiers woke up like a dream, no longer entangled, and fought and retreated, rushing straight in the direction of the city gate. And how could the enemy troops lying in ambush in the city give them a chance, a series of sharp whistles sounded, and arrows were lit on the torches, and they shot towards the running crowd.

When did Zhou Dewei suffer such a loss, but he had to swallow this grievance at this time, and he also turned around and withdrew towards the city gate, if he didn't go out quickly, I was afraid that he would be buried here. Thinking about attacking Longshou County, but unexpectedly, the horses in the military service city horse stumbled, and a wave of anger rose in his heart.

The Pu knife in his hand also accelerated the offensive, and actually forced the white-clothed people to retreat.

Xu Shi's strong hope of survival played a decisive role, and after paying the price of losing his troops, a group of soldiers came out of the four gates and gathered towards the way they came. Zhou Dewei also took advantage of the chaos and disappeared from the sight of the ambush soldiers. But for some reason, this group of ambush soldiers did not take advantage of the victory to pursue, but stayed in the city to stand by.

The man in white who was the leader didn't really make a move from beginning to end, just stood in a hidden place and watched coldly. It wasn't until the battle situation was decided that he raised his hand to summon the rest of the white-clothed people in front of him, and said coldly: "How is the battle situation at this time?" ”

"The army led by Zhou Dewei all retreated, and he did not lose too many troops in a shock, and he was afraid that he would make a comeback within half a day." A man in white reported truthfully.

The leader laughed softly: "In this way, Zhou Dewei does not dare to come again, and the other two cities are also concocted in the same way, and they will definitely kill him by surprise." ”

"What about Xie Ge Lao?" A man in white asked.

"It's okay, Xie Zhi's order only made us block for half a day, and we just did our best. As for the rest of the matter, I don't have to worry about it. After the leader finished speaking, he did not look back. Instead, he ordered a few people to clean up the battle and disappeared into the night.

Zhou Dewei led the crowd to run for dozens of miles before stopping, and at this time, the crowd was like frightened birds, and they had long lost their original arrogance. But the more Zhou Dewei thought about it, the more angry he became, and he didn't know why there was such a thing, but at this time, regret was useless, and he could only pour out all his anger on Longshou County.
