Chapter 357: Change
In the middle of the night, the originally silent mausoleum city erupted into a torrent-like sound at this time. Shouting, running, in the opportunity created by Xiang Yu's top force to stop Bai Qi, 250,000 soldiers rushed to the city gate with all their strength and ran out.
All of a sudden, because of the huge flow of people, the originally huge city gate turned out to be narrow. "Discipline! Discipline! Don't crowd! "The officers who originally belonged to the 250,000-strong army were running and guiding the order of everyone's movements, preventing the soldiers who were running excitedly from crowding at the city gates.
So the running soldiers began to pay attention to order, and rushed out of the mausoleum city in waves and quickly. The soldiers were running as fast as they could, but this was an army of 250,000 men, and it would take a long time for them all to break out of the city gates. On the other side, Xiang Yu and Bai Qi competed vigorously, and he tried his best to suppress Bai Qi in place, trying his best to delay the time for the 250,000 troops to leave the city. Of course, Bai Qi was also trying his best to impact Xiang Yu's strength, but in a short period of time, he obviously couldn't take the lead.
But in any case, how could Bai Qi accept that this mighty army of 250,000 people, who had been preparing for three years and had been bloodlessly cracked by Xiang Yubing. He was puzzled in his heart, how did Xiang Yu do all this! That's an army of 250,000 men! How could Xiang Yu have thought of moving all the destroyed cities to prove the current truth of the inner country to the soldiers......
The city cards are lying down, the evidence is ironclad, and there is no room for justification! And now, the 250,000 troops are rushing out of the city one after another, but he is forcibly stopped by Xiang Yu, there is nothing to do, and there is an uncertain roaming stare next to him, and even the ghost leopard can't make action.
Bai Qi's face was gray under the battle helmet, and the anger accumulated silently in the bottom of his heart, but he could not explode. And Xiang Yu had a resolute look on his face, and under the strong pressure of the Deception Blade, he did his best not to let Bai Qi cross an inch. At this time, he took a breath of relief in his heart, this move was successful, the twenty-five major armies finally believed in him and rushed out of the Lingcheng, so that their big battle in the Lingcheng was avoided, and at the same time, they also had more military strength, which could alleviate the crisis that was about to break out in the border city, as long as he could intercept Bai Qi and let the 250,000 soldiers all rush out of the Lingcheng, tonight's battle would be a complete victory!
But is it really that simple? The sound of iron cavalry charging from far away from the city, but it was drowned in the noise of 250,000 soldiers, and no one noticed. Until the warrior in the gold armor raised the sword of oath in his hand and led a group of troops across the battlefield, breaking Xiang Yu's decision that they would succeed tonight-
"The last general Arthur is late with his troops, please forgive the marshal!" It's Arthur! He rushed to the battlefield with a murderous iron army! The moment they heard the shouting, Xiang Yu and Bai Qi, who were still struggling to compete, were both shocked. I saw Arthur rushing to the intersection on horseback, jumping high on horseback with his vigorous skills, jumping straight past the large number of soldiers crowded at the city gate, and landing heavily under the gate of the mausoleum. Then the cloak was shaken, the eyebrows were sharp, and the whole person turned around suddenly, holding a sword in his left hand and a shield in his right hand, calming down the city gate, facing the hundreds of thousands of soldiers crowded at the city gate.
And Arthur's sword and shield slashed, and without saying a word, he silently commanded the army that came with him to rush through the heavy siege of the soldiers from the street along the city gate, tearing a hole in the crowded crowd of soldiers with the sharp blade, and forcefully invading and forcibly disrupting their formation out of the city. With a fierce murderous aura, 50,000 Praetorian Guards rushed away the hundreds of thousands of troops who wanted to flee from the city at lightning speed, rushed to the city gate, followed Arthur's steps, and built an impregnable iron fence under the gate of the city with iron armor and blades.
Arthur clenched the sword and shield in his hand, frowned, looked at the hundreds of thousands of soldiers in front of him with extremely serious eyes, and shouted in a complex voice: "Without the marshal's order, no one is allowed to leave the city without permission!" Glancing sideways at Arthur, who suddenly arrived, Xiang Yu couldn't help frowning, and the raging flames in his heart were half suppressed by the sudden variables. He secretly hated in his heart, why did he ignore Arthur? Since Bai Qi has already arrived in Lingcheng, it is inevitable that he will not come alone, and there will be reinforcements behind him.
Now that Arthur has arrived with the Praetorian Guard, they may be completely disrupted again tonight. And after Bai Qi saw Arthur and the Praetorian Guards, the four eyes hidden under the battle helmet instantly brightened. Previously, he and Arthur entered the back gate of the mausoleum together, but because he found that there was an accident in the city, he rode the ghost leopard first, and sure enough, there was a chaos at the front gate of the mausoleum. When he was alone, he was suppressed by Xiang Yu and couldn't act, but now that Arthur finally arrived with his troops, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
"Arthur! Block the exit, seal the gates, and never let anyone escape from the city! Bai Qi shouted at Arthur, and then his arms suddenly lifted his strength, desperately against Xiang Yu, dragging his gaze and attention back to Arthur. Xiang Yu! Arthur has arrived with his troops, and your plan is nullified! Bai Qi stared at Xiang Yu and said in a deep voice, and at the same time, the demon blue and murderous aura burst out all over his body, suppressing Xiang Yu and not giving him any chance to get out.
Now the situation is obviously reversed, it is no longer Xiang Yu suppressing Bai Qi and creating opportunities for the soldiers to go out of the city, but Bai Qi is intercepting Xiang Yu with all his strength and not allowing Xiang Yu to have the spare strength to do other actions. With Arthur and 50,000 Praetorian Guards here, he is not afraid that these 250,000 scattered soldiers can escape from the city, as long as he can delay the factor of the overlord of Chu, which may explode at any time, the situation will be stabilized tonight.
Bai Qi's four eyes hidden under the battle helmet diffracted a cold murderous aura, and his heart was secretly silent: "There is a turning ......" The moonlit night was misty, and under the gate of the mausoleum city, the 250,000 soldiers who were originally neatly arrayed and anxiously wanted to leave the city quickly were disrupted by the sudden change. Arthur led the Praetorian Guard out of the air, intercepting their only way out of the city with his blade of iron. Tens of thousands of the 250,000 soldiers had already rushed out of the city, but most of the remaining people were still crowded behind the city gates, and now they were blocked by Arthur's army, and they immediately panicked and scattered in a mess, not knowing what to do.
The tens of thousands of people who had already fled the city saw that the compatriots behind them were all stopped in the city, gasping for breath and rejoicing, but also feeling anxious and uneasy for them. The people who remained in the city were even more panicked and at a loss, seeing that the way out was intercepted and powerless to crack it, the 200,000 people suddenly panicked like countless ants, crowded at the gate of the city on top of each other, desperately trying to squeeze out, thinking that they could get away with squeezing out a way to live. Arthur's Praetorian Guards resisted with all their might, sealing the gates of the city so that no one could escape again, and more and more Praetorian Guards rushed to the front gates, and they followed Arthur's footsteps and stopped all the desperately crowded soldiers inside the gates.
The 250,000 interdependent soldiers were divided between the two sides of the city gate, anxiously eagerly waiting outside the city, desperately fleeing inside the city, and resolutely blocking in the middle. Under the city gates, there was chaos. Xiang Yu's eyes were solemn, the current scene was obviously not what he wanted to encounter, and if it continued like this, the situation would only become more and more uncontrollable.
Bai Qi's eyes deepened, the situation at the moment was in his favor, as long as Arthur led the army to block the city gate, these hundreds of thousands of soldiers would not be able to get out, and the situation was chaotic, and the soldiers were in chaos, and it was impossible for Xiang Yu to use them as a force in a short period of time. The rest is the strength of Bai Qi and Xiang Yu - "Get out of the way!" Who are you? Why stop us? "Are you also white soldiers? You've all been deceived by that bastard! You, like us, have been deceived by him! β
"He and Yingzheng are both big devils, killing our relatives, ruining our country, and then using us!" "Don't believe them! They are sinful demons! Your family must have been harmed by them! Don't believe it! Don't listen to them! β
"I don't believe you look at the city signs on the ground! So many cities have been destroyed by them! "Do you hear me! Don't listen to them in vain, rush out with us! Abandon the darkness and turn to the light with us! "Did you hear that? Get out of our way! Let's get out! "The 200,000 people who were still trapped in the city were excited, crowded, pounded, roared, hoarse, blood and tears, but no matter how they could break through the iron wall built by Arthur's army. They slashed their blades, unable to break through the iron armor and strong shields of the Praetorian Guard. They roared with anger in their hearts, unable to break the full force of the Praetorian Guard. Their countless voices shouted the truth that they had just learned, and wanted to wake up these Praetorian Guards and join them in betraying Yingzheng Baiqi, but the Praetorian Guards were unmoved.
Of course, they were unmoved, the Praetorian Guards were all Janissaries who had been cultivated by the royal family since childhood, and they had no fetters of their families' homeland, only the imperial power and His Majesty who were loyal to them. Therefore, no matter how hard the soldiers tried, they could not break through the absolute interception of Arthur and the Praetorian Guard, but despite this, they were still desperately colliding...... If they don't fight, what can they do?
Living in an era when their homes and countries are barren and displaced, the only thing they can do may be to hold on to the remaining hope in front of them and rush forward desperately. As for whether they can rush or not, where do they dare to think about it? Arthur looked at the crowd and chaos of the 200,000 soldiers in front of him with complicated eyes, sighed silently, and then ordered the Praetorian Guards to pull the switch and close the gate of the mausoleum city. A heavy voice sounded, and the huge city gate closed inch by inch under the anxious gaze of hundreds of thousands of people inside and outside. The 200,000 soldiers who remained inside the city roared in despair, and they rushed out with all their might, but the calm and rigid Praetorian Guards stopped the pass, which was incomparably narrower than hundreds of thousands.
Xiang Yu also erupted in a last-minute roar, how could he be willing to fall short after all his efforts? He must rescue the 200,000 soldiers in this city, so the torrent of domineering energy poured out with his roar, and frantically rushed against Bai Qi who blocked him, but Bai Qi had already made full preparations and intercepted Xiang Yu with all his strength, so as not to let him have the slightest chance to interfere with the city gate surrounded by Arthur's army. It wasn't until the gates finally closed, with a heavy thud, that everything seemed to settle for the night. The gates of the city were closed, the Janissaries in front of them, and the 200,000 people trapped in the city were in despair, and the crowd that stretched for several streets was now only uneasy and panicked. It's a big deal! The soldiers subconsciously grabbed the blades in their hands, and some even rushed into the siege vehicles and super soldier mechas, and they were desperate to do the last sleepy "Don't be impulsive, everyone! All calm down! I'll lead you out of the city! Believe me! Xiang Yu naturally sensed the movements of the soldiers, and immediately roared.
He can't let the 200,000 soldiers trapped in the city break out into a large-scale riot stimulated by the predicament, he can't let them fight with the Praetorian Guard now, even if they really want to fight, they must start a war under his command, and if they let them riot now, the situation will be completely out of control - after all, it is 200,000 people! Moreover, it is still 200,000 people with complete arms, if such a large number of soldiers are allowed to riot in such a narrow place, the consequences of magic guide soldiers, siege vehicles, and super soldiers will be extremely terrifying. Bai Qi was silent, but he resisted with all his strength, forcing the cold light of the dark golden sickle towards Xiang Yu's face, not giving him any chance to get out. Of course, Bai Qi didn't want these 200,000 people to riot, but at the same time, he also knew that as long as Xiang Yu was dragged by him, the situation would gradually ossify, and the stalemate was a good foregone conclusion for him.
ββThe 50,000 soldiers who had already left the city stood scattered outside the mausoleum, their eyes fixed on the closed city gate, and their expressions were anxious. The gate of Lingcheng was closed, and they had no way of knowing the situation in the city while standing outside, and while worrying about the compatriots trapped in the city, they were more at a loss, after all, Xiang Yu was also trapped in the city.
With no one to lead, how do this group of 50,000 stragglers know how to deal with it at this moment? At this moment, a hole was suddenly opened in the grass outside the city, and a big gray wolf jumped out of the hole, howling and running in front of everyone's eyes. Just as the soldiers were startled by the sudden gray wolf that jumped out, a woman wearing tight scale armor and a short red skirt rolled over from the gray wolf's back, and her cold and sharp gaze skimmed over the crowd and landed directly on the closed city gate, and then asked in surprise: "What's the matter?" Why are the gates closed? Mulan's cold gaze swept over, and although the soldiers were surprised and puzzled, they saw that the person who came did not look like a bad person, and it seemed to be their companion, so they did not dare to hesitate, and immediately told the woman about the situation in the city that had been reversed.
"What about the King of Chu?" Just as the soldier finished speaking, without waiting for Mulan to ask another question, a silver-haired man flew down from the gray wolf's back with an ancient book in his hand, and the soles of his feet were suspended in the air, and came to Mulan's side, the soldier asked. "The king of Chu is still in the city, and Bai Qi has been holding him back...... He couldn't get out. The soldiers looked at the man flying into the void and subconsciously replied. Worst! Zhang Liang frowned slightly, and sighed softly, "After all, I missed a step, and the development of the plan did not go as smoothly as expected......
"Now that the city gate is closed, Arthur and the Praetorian Guard are blocking the pass, 200,000 soldiers who know the truth are trapped in it, and the king of Chu is restrained by Bai Qi, if this continues, the situation in the mausoleum will be deadlocked...... The situation is not in our favor......" "So what should we do...... Liangliang. Mulan looked at Zhang Liang, waiting for him to choose a strategy to break the enemy.
Zhang Liang pondered for a moment, and then a cold light flashed in his eyes, then he raised his head, looked at Mulan, and said firmly: "Directly implement the backup plan!" "Direct implementation plan?" Hua Mulan was obviously startled, and then asked in surprise, "But those 200,000 awakened soldiers are still inside!" They want to come out! β
