Chapter 39: Taken Away
Zhong Licong came to Shacheng with 50,000 soldiers and horses. They planned to camp on the edge of the oasis outside Zaisa, because there was water and grass there, which was suitable for garrisoning troops.
He sent someone to inquire that this was the source of water supply for Shacheng, and as long as he occupied this place, then the entire Shacheng would lose its water source, and even if he didn't fight, they would be defeated.
Zhong Li Cong sent spies to the oasis to find out how many guards there were.
Zhong Licong sat in his big tent, looking at the spy below who gave him the news, "How? ”
He knelt on the ground in awe, "Back to Your Highness, there are about 5,000 enemy soldiers and horses stationed in the oasis!" ”
Zhong Licong waved his hand to let him go down, he looked at a few of his henchmen, "Tonight's sneak attack, we must take their stronghold." ”
Winter nights are already cold to the bone, but this is a desert night, and it is even colder and colder, making people cold from head to toe, and people can't help but shiver.
Zhong Licong took 10,000 horses, secretly divided into three teams, and quietly marched towards the enemy troops stationed in the oasis.
Zhong Licong's plan was to copy from the three breads, leave them an exit, and then send someone to ambush them at that exit, so that even if they planted their wings, they would not be able to escape.
At this time, Ye Xi was sitting on a recliner, covered with a blanket beside him, holding an ambition in his hand, reading a book leisurely. Next to it was a large stove, with a charcoal fire burning in it, and the fiery red light shone on Ye Xi's face, like being drunk and flushed.
Xuanzhu sat on her left, and Lan Yun sat on her right.
She whispered and ordered, "Lan Yun, go get a pot of wine, and come over with a plate of snacks!" ”
Lan Yun nodded, and she went out. Soon after, she came back again, Ye Xi asked Xuanzhu to fetch the small table, and Lan Yun put the big wooden plate on it.
Ye Xi was about to reach out to pour the wine, Xuanzhu poured a glass first, only to see that the wine in the cup was still steaming, and he handed it to the other party.
Ye Xi smiled faintly at him, took the glass of wine, took a sip, then took a piece of pastry and took a bite.
Zhong Licong on this side led 10,000 soldiers and horses to attack the enemy guarding here from three directions.
The enemy soldiers were not living in tents, but in stockades, and they were stationed here all year round, so they built one stockade after another, forming today's big stockade.
At this moment, Deputy General Liang Chuan secretly sent someone to solve the two guards at the door.
At the gate of the stockade, another deputy general Liang Hu sent someone to shoot arrows with fire into the stockade.
Most of the people on the other side were still sleeping, and when the arrows entered the stockade, some people shouted, some people sneak attacked, the enemy army came, the enemy army called......
The guards who guarded the gate at night held bows and arrows and kept shooting at the people of Liang Hu's lieutenant general.
Liang Hu ordered, "Give them to Ben and kill them!" He sat down on his horse and pointed to the dozens of men guarding the gate.
Soon after, Liang Hu attacked the stockade, and the enemy generals on this side immediately led the remaining part of the men and horses to prepare to flee from the east, because only the east did not have the generals of the Rongjiang State.
The group fled in a panic, and before they even had time to think, they were surrounded by people.
When they fled to the east gate, at this moment, Zhong Licong was lying in ambush under the sand dunes, waiting for the best time.
The general who took the lead walked to the middle section of Zhong Licong's ambush, Zhong Licong gave his subordinates next to him a look, he nodded to show understanding, and immediately led the team to rush out.
Those soldiers stationed there were immediately frightened when they saw the soldiers of the Rongjiang Kingdom descending from the sky.
The general of Shacheng led the few hundred people who were left to fight with the regular troops of King Ming, and in only a quarter of an hour, they were killed without leaving a single piece of armor.
Zhong Licong killed all the hundreds of people, and then, with his own troops, came to the stockade where they were stationed.
He instructed Wang Kang, "Wang Kang, clean up the battlefield and take their corpses to burn!" Zhong Licong's face was ruthless and cold, and his expression was not shocked.
Shen Yunche rode a fast horse and rushed to Quanzhou City, sending people to inquire about the direction of Shacheng.
Zuo Qiu Xuhe and Shen Yunche came to Quanzhou City on the same day, but the two arrived one after the other. Zuo Qiu Xuhe also sent someone to secretly inquire about the direction of Shacheng.
The day dawned, and the tragic situation of the battlefield was also cleaned up.
Zhong Li Cong ordered Wang Kang to arrange the follow-up matters, and after he bathed and changed clothes, he lay on the bed and slowly fell asleep.
When Wang Kang stood at the door, ready to ask about the next arrangement, "Your Highness! He shouted.
Zhong Licong woke up, his voice was magnetic and hoarse, and it was intoxicating, and people couldn't help but indulge in it.
"What?"
Wang Kang replied outside the door, "Back to Your Highness, may I ask how to arrange it next?" ”
Zhong Licong put on his coat and opened the door, "Straighten out the soldiers and horses, and set off for Shacheng tomorrow!" With that, he closed the door and went back to sleep.
Wang Kang replied to the closed door, "Yes!" Then he left.
The first wave of people sent by Shen Yunche was not heard from, and in the end he had to send the second wave of people to investigate.
Zuo Qiu Xu and the people sent back one, but there was no useful news, he had no choice but to send a second group of people to find the route.
The next day, Zhong Licong led his troops to the gate of Shacheng and blocked the water surrounding the four gates of Shacheng.
At this moment, Batian received news yesterday, saying that the king led 50,000 soldiers and horses, ready to attack Shacheng, he first occupied the oasis, cut off the water source of Shacheng, and then attacked Shacheng, even if he didn't fight, the entire Shacheng would be cut off because of the water source, and the people in the whole city would be thirsty to death.
Zhong Licong sent people to be stationed under the city gate, surrounded it, and did not send people to attack the city, his plan was to let those people in the city mess up by themselves, and then he could take Shacheng without much effort.
When Shen Yunche and Zuoqiu Xuhe's people inquired about the route of Shacheng, they rode to Shacheng.
When the people of Shacheng heard that the army was approaching the city, they really made a commotion, and many people clamored to leave the city.
Batian told the priests to watch the city gate and not let the people go to the city gate to make trouble. All the people who made trouble were arrested and put in prison.
Zhong Licong received the news from the secret agents in the city, hooked his lips and sneered, "Interesting, I didn't expect to come so soon!" ”
Zhong Licong smiled lightly, "Let them go!" But the surveillance is to continue. ”
Zhong Licong thought to himself, Shen Yunche and Zuo Qiu Xu came very quickly, so it can be seen that they have planted a lot of eyeliner in Rongjiang Kingdom.
Zhong Licong sent people to shout under the city gate every day, "Batian, come out and surrender!" If you come out and surrender, His Royal Highness King Ming may bypass you for the sake of the people of Shacheng.
Batian, go out of the city and surrender, otherwise His Royal Highness King Ming will raze your sand city to the ground.
Folks, people of Shacheng, go out of the city and surrender! Our Highness is generous and benevolent, and will never touch the people of Sand City in the slightest, so go out of the city and surrender! Zhong Licong kept sending people to fan the flames, so that the people in the city began to make a big fuss.
Zhong Licong told him to shout again every other hour.
Ye Xi heard Xuanzhu say the news outside the city, she still looked like she was not in a hurry, anyway, she knew that she would go out early and leave this big cage.
She sat in the yard during the day, basking in the sun, and at night she lay in her room, sitting by the stove, chatting with them.
That night, Ye Xi sat by the fireside as usual, roasting the fire and telling them stories.
There was a commotion outside, and Ye Xi motioned for Xuanzhu to go out and take a look, what was going on?
As soon as Xuan Zhu walked to the door, he was stopped by someone, and the guard on the left said, "Master Xuan, the three gang leaders of my family have an order, and there are gangsters who sneak in, you must not step out of the door for half a step!" ”
When Xuanzhu heard this, he guessed that it seemed that this matter was related to his own young lady, otherwise he would not have ordered like that.
Xuanzhu guessed that it was estimated that the Ming King of Rongjiang Kingdom came to save his young lady, or the prime minister of Rongjiang Kingdom sent someone to save Miss.
At this moment, Ye Yi rode a horse and rushed to Shacheng overnight, preparing to join King Ming and save his sister together.
The person who broke into the sand gang tonight was Shen Yunche, and he sent someone to inquire where Ye Xi was being held, so he was desperate to take her away.
It's a pity that someone found out in secret, but fortunately, he had a plan to divide his people into two parts, one to disturb the enemy's sight, and the other to save Jing'er.
Xuanzhu went in and told Ye Xi about the situation outside, Ye Xi also guessed the cause and effect, she was a little worried in her heart, after all, the defense of this sand gang is still quite tight, and it is not so easy to break through.
As Zuo Qiu Xuhe, desperate, he also broke into the sand gang, he did the opposite, sent someone to arrest Batian's youngest daughter, and prepared to use his daughter to threaten the other party.
Batian was discussing tomorrow's battle with Saitian, and overheard a report from outside, "The big gang leader, the third gang leader, the fourth gang leader, Miss Wan'er is gone!" ”
Hearing the news, Batian finally lost his sense of proportion, his impatient face, grabbed the other party's collar, and his face was full of fierceness, "What did you say?" Again, what's wrong with Wan'er? ”
That person was the guard guarding Miss Wan'er, and he looked frightened, "Return, go back to the big gang leader, Miss Wan'er, she, she was kidnapped!" As he spoke, he knelt on the ground, bowing his head, not daring to look at the other man's face.
Batian's face was furious, "Damn! He was so angry that he slashed over, so that the other party's body and head were directly separated.
He ran out and immediately sent someone to inquire about his daughter's whereabouts.
Shen Yunche here was as light as a swallow, dodging the layers of guards in the dark, as well as the guards on the bright side, a sweeping flying shadow, and jumped in through the window.
Shen Yunche pointed Xuanzhu and Lan Yun on the acupoints with lightning speed, and before Xuanzhu could see how the other party did it, he was ordered dumb acupoints and fixed acupoints.
Ye Xi looked at the other party in a black night suit, the figure was a little familiar, she glanced at the other party's eyes, and understood who the other party was?
She didn't speak, she looked at him indifferently, and Shen Yunche said to her with her mouth, come with me! I'll get you out!
Ye Xi's expression was as flat as water, and she shook her head to say that she didn't need to.
Shen Yunche saw Jing'er's cold expression of wanting to clear up with him, he was extremely uncomfortable in his heart, he didn't care whether she agreed or not, stretched out a hand and tapped her acupoint.
He picked her up and ordered another secret guard to pick up Xuanzhu and take it away with him.
Ye Xi stared, his face full of anger, but he couldn't speak, he could only stare dryly.
Shen Yunche carried Ye Xi on his back, the speed was still so fast, and the light skill was unfathomable, and after a while, he ran out of the city.
She was greeted outside the city, and when he arrived, he put her on his horse. At the moment, he didn't solve her acupuncture, because once she untied it, she would definitely run away.
He has no time to mess with her now, so he can only wronged her to stay like this first, and when she leaves Shacheng and returns to Chengguo, she can do whatever she wants.
