Two options.

The door was locked, the soldiers landed in the city, and in the face of thousands of Yan cavalry who were lightly armed and hurried, and did not even carry siege equipment, it was only a trivial matter to want to hold the Red City, and it was almost certain that this battle would be won without a fight...... Yan Qi didn't even try, and when he saw that the Red City was heavily garrisoned, he was surprised and turned his horse away; If the four gates are opened to lead the Yan army into the city, the city guard is sure that the invading Yan cavalry will be annihilated, but if the city starts, it will inevitably affect the people, but more importantly, does Nan Li dare to do this?

The Yan army only mobilized a large battalion, not to destroy Nanli, but more like a prestige...... In this case, the first option is decent, anyway, the bridge is over. Dan Nanli was slapped in the face, gritting his teeth and enduring it was indeed too wretched; But the second option, waving his hand and slapping Dayan, the Jingtai Emperor in Zou Cheng may not be regarded as 'everyone ties'.

Even though he knew that there was not much time and could not be delayed, Prime Minister Zuo was still undecided, until Song Yang stepped forward and said something in a low voice that only he could hear, and Lord Hu suddenly woke up, made up his mind, and said to the city guard: "The revenge of the broken bridge pass must be avenged." Open the door, turn off the lights, pretend to be a corpse to lure the enemy, the enemy is about to live, and ordinary soldiers let go and kill! ”

The city guard's eyes flashed with joy, and he immediately ordered the captain behind him: "Mention the death row prisoners in the prison and the Yan people in the city, all of them will be strangled after changing their clothes, remember, it is a strangulation, and you can't see blood and injuries!" "The dead city needs dead people to dress up, there is no innocent in wartime, the Yan people in this city were first killed by Yan Guoshe, and then killed by Nanli!

Master Hu turned his head and nodded to Song Yang: "Thank you, Mr. for your advice." ”

What Song Yang said just now is only two words: antidote.

The rain has not stopped, Zheqiaoguan and Hongcheng are both 'epidemic areas', and the fact that the Yan army dares to come shows that they are not afraid of this 'waterlogging epidemic', and the reason for this is that they have taken medicine that can fight the plague in advance.

Thinking deeply, what happened today is not just the battle between the two city gates, but the appearance of a terrible 'big killing weapon' in the hands of Dayan, no matter from which angle you think about it, Nan Li must find a way to restrain it, and must find an antidote, otherwise the future will really not be sent.

Capture the enemy generals, search for antidotes...... Nanli people didn't know that Jingtai's dog was dead, so they naturally couldn't figure out why Dayan suddenly attacked Zheqiao and Hongcheng, but Song Yang, Zuo Chengxiang and others could probably guess that in this tragedy at the border pass, at least the purpose of Yan Ren's 'drug test' was hidden.

Song Yang did not take credit: "I don't remind you, Master Hu will also think of it." ”

Prime Minister Zuo was not polite, and asked another thing of concern: "The epidemic has raged at Zhiqiao Pass... This one... I have to get an antidote, or how long will it take......"

The wording was not good for a while, but Song Yang could understand what he meant, and replied: "If the rain doesn't stop, the epidemic poison will not dissipate." If the weather is clear, it will only take six hours, and the epidemic will be self-defeating, and it will be okay to go to that place again. ”――

The seven camps of Yannan are all marked by the word 'seizing', and you can easily see Yan's thoughts about Nanli from the word camp. Among the seven battalions of soldiers and horses, the most elite one is the 'Mountain Capture Battalion' closest to Nanli.

More than half a month ago, a Yanren caravan suddenly arrived, and the leader of the caravan looked like a dough dough, but he held the holy decree in his hand and hid the tiger talisman in his arms. The commander of the mountain battalion did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly asked the secret envoy to take a seat and bowed down to receive the order. But after the secret envoy explained his intentions, Jiang was stunned...... Do you want to take the mountain battalion to prepare for battle, and attack the Zheqiao Pass with a single army, and there are no supplies, backups, and baggage deployment?

With his big battalion, no matter how elite the soldiers under his command are, it is a fool's dream to want to storm the Folding Bridge Pass, this is not the end, the secret envoy actually wants him to take the Red City after the Folding Bridge Pass.

But the tiger talisman represents military power, and the words of the secret envoy are military orders, and Jiang Case has no room to speak except for receiving orders loudly. In the end, the secret envoy confessed, "Don't be impatient, wait for my order, this matter is confidential, and it must not be disclosed to the outside world so as not to leak the news, even the chief officer and general of the seventh battalion of your family are not allowed to say it", and returned to the caravan and set off for Nanli again.

Three days ago, when the secret envoy returned to the camp from Nanli, he still let the army wait, and the relevant military envoy did not interfere, and all the preparations were handed over to Jiang Case. Until the rainstorm hit early yesterday morning, the secret envoy showed joy on his face, took out the hourglass that had been prepared long ago and began to calculate the time, and at the same time Jiang Case asked: "How many soldiers are there in total?" ”

Jiang's case reported truthfully: "Two thousand people stayed in the camp, and 18,000 elites went out at any time." ”

The envoy nodded, and instructed his entourage: "18,000 people, go and do it." Then he looked at Jiang Case again: "You need to take medicine before going on the expedition, and you need the general's cooperation in this matter." ”

The envoy's retinue unloaded a box of cargo from the caravan caravan, which was full of yellow spicy powder. The powder was dissolved in water and distributed among all the soldiers who participated in the battle...... When the last grain of sand in the hourglass fell, the military order was immediately issued, and the mountain capture battalion was launched, and it went straight to the bridge pass!

Jiang never dreamed that it would be such a situation: Nan Lixiong closed the iron gate and hidden, and a corpse with his hands choking his throat and blood-red eyes lying in the mud...... This is true as far as the eye can see, all over the city. The thunder in the sky, the heavy rain around him, and the rumbling footsteps of a large group of military horses around him were completely chaotic, but Jiang Case only felt silent, as if he was in the underworld.

But soon, the astonishment turned to ecstasy, and the fear turned to euphoria. It turned out that everything had been arranged for a long time, and his Jiang case was just a coincidence, and he received a great achievement from the sky!

According to the prior preparations, the army of the mountain capture battalion turned into a small team, and under the leadership of the commander, they interspersed the streets and alleys to plunder the whole city.

The secret envoy also sent this team deep into the city, and Jiang Case understood that this was not something he should know, so he only ordered his subordinates to fully cooperate. Soon after, the report came, the military flag of Zhiqiao Pass had been torn from the city, and the Nanli military seal in the pass was also found from the military garrison, and at this time, the team under the command of the secret envoy also turned back, and they brought back a package, which looked not small, enough to fit half a person.

The most important things have been found, and the secret envoy was unwilling to wait any longer, and whispered a few words to Jiang's case...... Soon the military order was handed down, the Capture Mountain Battalion was divided into two, the cavalry department gathered around the main general, left the Folding Bridge Pass and hurried to the Red City at full speed, and the infantry brigade stayed in place to continue the search.

The city guard of Hongcheng had an estimate of the cavalry of the Yanduoshan battalion, and his guess was extremely accurate in terms of quantity, the battalion was no more and no less, there were exactly 6,000 cavalry; However, in terms of quality, the Red City City Guard underestimated the other party - among the mountain seizing elite cavalry, there were also a thousand spear heavy cavalry.

It's underestimated, but it's also overestimated. Needless to say, the terrible thing about the heavy cavalry is that they are not good at rushing and attacking, they are all left in the camp and not brought out, and the Yan cavalry that pounced on the red city is only 5,000 people.

During the hurried journey, Jiang Case was in high spirits, and the rangers on the flank of the garrison reported several times, and found that there was a hidden Nanli outpost on the way, but he didn't pay attention to it, and he didn't have to pay attention to it, even if the outpost sent a letter to inform the Red City, what could it do? The Red City is already dead!

Before dawn arrived, the red city was in sight.

There are corpses everywhere inside and outside the north gate of the Red City, and the rainy night is filled with endless desolation, and the tragic situation of the epidemic is raging.

First, the sentry captain team entered the city to investigate, and after a while, the signal was sent back, there was nothing abnormal near the city gate, there were no living people but dead bodies, and then the sentry captain galloped to the depths of the city to investigate, but Jiang did not wait... When he was breaking the bridge, he had carefully investigated the secret envoy at the sentry point, and the secret envoy had already shown disdain at that time, and the more careful the mountain camp was, the more he seemed to be unable to trust the secret envoy.

The Folding Bridge Pass is enough to prove that the means of the secret envoy are good, and the Red City in front of him is exactly the same as the Folding Bridge Pass, the situation is very clear, there is really no need to explore it again, General Jiang gave an order, and the brigade entered the city.

It's still broken into pieces, and it's still the secret envoy team acting alone, but this time, it's ...... Not long after entering the city, a cannon trumpet shook through the dead city, bows and crossbows covered the night like locusts, and countless Nanli Jian soldiers held sharp blades in their hands, appearing out of nowhere, swarming to kill, and in a blink of an eye, the sound of shouting and killing resounded throughout the red city!

'The Yan thieves poisoned and wanted to kill the whole city, but fortunately Prime Minister Zuo and his subordinates saw through the conspiracy, and the Red City was saved'; 'The Zhiqiao Pass in front was not so lucky, and the whole army was wiped out'; 'The Yan people got carried away and were rushing to the Red City'. A series of news had already spread among the Nanli army, and after learning the truth, the soldiers were shocked, angry, and hateful, and they used their commanders to motivate morale, and there was only one thought in their hearts: Yan people came well.

There is no defense against the mountain, and the red city is prepared; The Yan people panicked, and Nan Li was full of morale; The cavalry is not good at street fighting, the city is familiar with the terrain, and the number of people is three times different, the formation of the Yan people is scattered, the physical consumption is exhausted, and the first to be attacked by the rain of arrows...... It was a complete one-sided slaughter.

There is silence and darkness here, and there is a clear fire purgatory! Jiang Case was shocked, and turned his head to look at the secret envoy beside him: "Don't worry, my lord, the last general will escort the imperial envoy out of the Red City!" After speaking, he was about to call the remnants of the surrounding soldiers to break through, but the secret envoy shook his head indifferently: "You can't retreat." There is one thing that must be brought back, please cover with the general. ”

The secret envoy raised his hand and showed the tiger talisman again, and said coldly: "Jiang case listens to orders." Gather the rest and storm the Red City Army. After speaking, he turned over and dismounted, turned back and whispered to the few relatives he brought: "Come with me!" ”

A few relatives around him were always dressed in merchant clothes, and they didn't need to be disguised at this time, so they followed the secret envoy and rushed towards the center of the city together.

Jiang Case shouted: "The military order is the head, the good brother will kill with me, and the soldiers will enter the army of the Southern Barbarians!" "Hundreds of Yan cavalry, the most elite soldiers in the mountain camp, shouted in unison to follow the main general to the army in the other direction to kill...... The city was in a scuffle, roaring and screaming mixed together, Lord Hu and the city guard sat firmly in the military garrison, listening to the incoming battle reports, when they learned that the remnants of the Jiang case were sorting out the remnants of the army and marching towards the army garrison, the city guard of the red city said to Prime Minister Zuo: "Don't worry, with them, there is no chance to see the wall of this big house." ”

Master Hu showed a cold smile, "The mad dog who jumped over the wall, forget about killing it, just remember to keep the dog's head." Then his smile became gentle again, and he said to the city guard: "The general has made great achievements in this battle, and the old man should report to the Son of Heaven to ask for merit for the general." ”

"I don't dare to take credit for the things that are within the division, not to mention that if it weren't for the prime minister's entry into Hongcheng, the last general would have already returned to Huangquan."

Master Hu smiled: "The general is humble, Song Yang and you have their own merits, and they cannot be erased." And when he mentioned Song Yang, he suddenly realized that he had left his side, and he didn't know when he left or where he was going.

And that Shi Xiaoxiao is not there, he should have left with Song Yang. Lord Hu frowned: "Please inform the brothers and sisters in the city, pay attention to Shi and Song, and be a wizard of the dynasty, and not be injured by the war." ”

The city guard immediately issued an order, in addition to searching for the two strangers, he also ordered that the soldiers in the city should step up the encirclement and suppression of the enemy's leader, and the other party was coming for the army.

While the two dignitaries in the Red City were talking, the Great Yan Secret Envoy took advantage of the cover of the night and the building to leap around and approach the center of the Red City. Although the number of people in this line is small, all of them are vigorous, and they are silent and sneaking like the wind, obviously with profound cultivation.

However, no matter how carefully you avoid the enemy army, you will inevitably encounter the Nanli soldiers head-on several times, rush to kill, and escape...... With his outstanding martial arts and the outlaw division of Nanli's soldiers who shifted the focus to the Jiang case, the secret envoy finally had no danger, and while the manpower around him continued to be damaged, he finally came to his destination:

The most prosperous street in the Red City where Shi Xiaoxiao's temple is located, where Song Yang detected the precursor of waterlogging.

The fierce battles in the city are basically concentrated in the two places where the North Gate and the Jiang Case are located, which are far away from here...... The merchants and servants in the shop had already evacuated, and the empty long street revealed a strange depression, and the secret envoy quickened his pace and went straight to the tree where he had found the body of Imperial Doctor You in half, but just as they ran to the place and had no time to dig, a voice suddenly came from overhead: "Don't look for it, it's not here." ”

When the words fell, the sword flashed and rolled down from the canopy!

A short knife with a dark red color, rounded arcs, and a slender blade.
