Chapter 156: Cunning Sword Sect Great Elder
Time is a runner of a tendon, it always runs forward, tirelessly forward, never stopping.
One, two, three...... Yang Zhen persistently rode his horse to Poplar City.
On the afternoon of the first day, he received a communication from the Moon of Annihilation, in which the Moon of Annihilation told him that the city of Kunwu he had guarded had been lost.
At noon the next day, Yang Zhen received a call from the poisonous wolf Ximen on his mobile phone, and on the phone, the poisonous wolf Ximen reported to him that he had lost another city. Ever since he was taken away by Ning Wume, the third elder of the Huashan Qi Sect, he obeyed Yang Zhen's orders, gathered his rout, and retreated to the Three Arrows City in the south of the Four Horse City.
As a result, yesterday evening, Ning Wuwu led a large army to attack the city of Three Arrows again, and this time, he still did not hold it.
Not only did he not hold it, but he was also cut off by Ning Wume's sword.
To put it simply, this time he not only lost the city, but also his head.
These two pieces of bad news did not make Yang Zhen change the direction of going to Poplar City.
But another message he received on the morning of the third day finally made him change his direction.
Zhao Jian of Cancer City reported to Yang Zhen in the communication.
"Door Master! I just got the news that Wang Ping has led an army of 8,000 out of the city and is coming towards my Cancer City. ”
Wang Ping has already left Poplar City, if Yang Zhen continues to pounce on Poplar City, he will definitely pounce on the air, if his goal does not change this time, it is still Wang Ping, he must change the direction of progress.
The target that Yang Zhen wanted to kill this time did not change.
So, he changed direction.
- Cancer City!
…… On the evening of the fourth day, Yang Zhen received another piece of bad news.
Ren Feng was killed by Haiyan, the protector of the Huashan faction.
The news was said by Ren Feng after he was killed, and he personally called Yang Zhen on his mobile phone.
Haiyan - the only protector of the Huashan faction.
The status is second only to Zhou Yaoyang, the head of the Huashan faction.
Ren Feng told Yang Zhen on the phone that Hai Yan didn't kill him when he led the army to attack the city.
Instead, he was alone and killed him in the backyard of the county government.
When he heard this report, Yang Zhen's pupils shrank.
Haiyan's behavior made the word "revenge" jump out of his mind.
He Yang Zhen was alone, constantly killing the masters of the Huashan faction, and now Hai Yan was also alone to kill Ren Feng, how similar is his surname to what he Yang Zhen has done in the past few days?
Could this be Huashan's counterattack to his Yang Zhen's attack and killing?
There was already such a speculation in his heart, but Yang Zhen still did not change his original plan.
is still the same reason, the masters under him are all players, and the masters of the Huashan faction are almost all virtual characters.
Even if the masters under him are killed ten times and hundreds of times, they can still be resurrected, but the masters of the Huashan faction are one less if they die, and it is impossible for them to come back from the dead.
…… Early in the morning of the fifth day, Wang Ping and his army of 8,000 appeared outside the north gate of Cancer City.
Didn't go to the other three gates of Cancer City separately.
Why?
Maybe it's because Wang Ping has only 8,000 people under him for the time being! If 8,000 people still have to divide their troops, will the strength of the siege be enough to break the city?
Or perhaps, he thinks that there is no need to divide the troops at all, coordinate the siege of the city, gather troops all the way, and then attack the city.
Or something else.
Anyway, Wang Ping and his eight thousand Huashan disciple soldiers, when the soldiers came to the city, they were all displayed on the open ground outside the north gate.
…… The enemy had already approached the city, and Zhao Jian had naturally gathered troops in the city a long time ago.
Neither of the warring sides knew that on the top of the highest pagoda in the city, a man in black was sitting on it, drinking and watching a play.
He is none other than Yang Zhen!
The pagoda was thirteen stories high, and he sat on it, and the people below the pagoda could not see him, even if they looked up, they could not see him, but he sat on the top of the pagoda, but he could see the situation inside and outside the city gate.
Cancer City, the name begins with the word "giant", but in fact, it is not very large.
Yang Zhen sat on the top of the tower, and his eyes could see the situation inside and outside the city gate in the four directions of southeast, south, west, and north.
Although, a very important reason is that his eyesight is not weak, but the small size of Cancer City can also be seen from this.
Because Wang Ping put all the 8,000 soldiers and horses outside the north gate, Zhao Jian, who was guarding the city, naturally gathered the best troops to the north gate.
Only one or two percent of the troops remained to guard the other three gates.
Even so, the guards he gathered at the north gate were only a thousand people.
When he first came down from Huo Mountain, he had more than 4,200 people under his command.
However, until now, before he fought a battle with the Huashan faction, the number of troops had been reduced by nearly three-quarters.
Such a number of attritions, if placed on other people, I am afraid that they would have been beheaded a long time ago.
How incompetent must it be to make only a thousand of the more than 4,000 men under his command without fighting a war?
However, Yang Zhen knows the inside story. Therefore, Zhao Jian was not removed from his position because of this.
If it weren't for the huge disparity between the strength of the Huashan Sect and the Eagle Claw Sect this time, how could those outer disciples who had already joined the Eagle Claw Sect become deserters on the eve of the Great War?
At this moment, it was not easy for his subordinates to gather so many outer disciples.
The war soon began.
The big war between the Jianghu sects is different from that of ordinary armies.
But after seeing more than a dozen ladders on the city wall, one by one will be light work, and the good hands who can fly the eaves and walk the wall will begin to fly to the cloud ladders, and often, the guards on the city will be a little careless, and they will be swept to the city wall by the light hands of Huashan.
Then there was a bloody storm on the city wall, and it was difficult to defend the Eagle Claw Gate, but the offensive on the Huashan side was like a tide.
Perhaps because of the psychological advantage in numbers, the Huashan faction attacked with great vigor, and batches of good hands who could do light work rushed to the city wall on the ladder.
Seeing that the war was about to heat up, Yang Zhen still didn't move, and still sat on the top of the pagoda leisurely and watched as if it were lively.
It's just that the action of drinking is getting less and less, his eyes are slightly narrowed, and he looks at the bloody battle at the city gate without blinking.
The battle at the North Gate was at a stalemate for a while.
Yang Zhen, who was sitting on the thirteen-story tower in the city, finally saw Wang Ping's cunning move.
At such a time, he actually sent hundreds of cavalry to quickly rush towards the west gate.
The west gate was empty, and Yang Zhen was sitting on the top of the tower, and he could see that all the guards there were combined, and I was afraid that they were no more than a hundred.
Can such a man guard the West Gate?
The answer was not long in coming.
It was no longer possible to divide the troops in the city to support the West Gate. For the time being, no one knew that the situation over there was going to be so critical.
Only Yang Zhen could see clearly from the pagoda, and as soon as the hundreds of horsemen arrived there, they threw their claws towards the city gate tower one by one, and quickly flew up to the city head one by one.
Even if someone's flying claw rope was cut off by the city guards, they wouldn't be able to kill those hundreds of martial arts guys.
In just a few moments, these people climbed the tower of the West City one after another.
Simon is irretrievably lost.
However, Yang Zhen still did not make a move.
