Chapter 19: I Raise a Villain in Troubled Times (19)
Yuyang is located in a dangerous position, with steep cliffs on one side and dense mountains and forests on the other, and has a natural advantage in defending the city. As long as Yuyang is broken, the plain behind the city is like fish on a chopping board for the Xingjia army.
Xinghua rode his horse and looked at the firelight on the city wall of Yuyang, and his eagle-like eyes flashed with the light of ambition. He has been staring at this piece of fish meat for a long time, but unfortunately although he has a lot of soldiers in his hands, it is still too far to bite the hard bone of Yuyang. He tried to let people buy Yuyang's integrity, from 300 gold to 3,000 gold, but the integrity ignored it.
This time, a strategist offered a plan to let him drive the refugees to Yuyang, but when Yuyang opened the city to welcome the refugees, let the vanguard team take the opportunity to kill into the city. Even if you can't break the city, you can take advantage of the chaos to ambush people in the city, and when the main force comes, the inside and the outside should be combined, open the city gate, and let the Xingjia army commander drive straight in.
Although there were some flaws in the strategy, the vanguard team led by Li Shouyue folded in Yuyang. But the scouts who fled back came with news that Yuyang's city gates had been broken. If you don't attack Yuyang at this time, when will you wait?
Xinghua immediately ordered the camp to be pulled out, and the whole army was in a hurry, and it was bound to take Yuyang.
"Smack!"
Xinghua whipped the horse fiercely, and the ambition in his eyes could not be contained. As long as you can take Yuyang, you can attack and retreat, and you can defend, are you afraid that you can't win the Central Plains?
The war horse struggled forward in pain. Xinghua soon saw the city gate of Yuyang, and even at night, the damage to the city gate was still clearly visible. He didn't even have time to think about how the gates were broken, and the ecstasy of destruction drove him to raise his whip and order: "All the army obeys!" ”
The shouts drowned out the sound of arrows breaking through the air, and in the thick of the night, no one saw anything speeding towards them.
The young general sat on horseback with his head held high, and before he could utter the next command, his pupils suddenly dilated. Arrows shot from nowhere pierced his throat with the force of thunder.
"Lord!"
There was a riot in the Xingjia army.
Yuyang City Tower.
An arrow was shot, and Ye Shenyu slowly let go. The tight bow and arrow made a soft "click" sound, and it was broken in two. Ye Shenyu frowned slightly, there are almost no people who practice martial arts who don't cherish weapons, and it is definitely not her intention to use the bow badly.
She walked up to the soldier who had lent the bow and arrows with the broken bow and explained, "I accidentally pulled it." ”
The soldier took the bow and arrows sluggishly, and had no intention of paying attention to the broken bow. The Xingjia army under the city suddenly stopped marching, and even caused a commotion, who did the goddess shoot?
It can't be the leader of the Xingjia Army, Xinghua, right?
Not only him, but even Gao Wenbin looked at the Xingjia army in chaos under the city, thinking for a moment that he couldn't have shot Xinghua, right? Then he felt that it was impossible, two armies were facing each other, and the commander of one army was shot to death so easily, how could he fight?
But at this time, if you don't take advantage of the chaos to kill the Xingjia army, where is the chance?
Gao Wenbin only changed his mind, and immediately ordered the city gate to be opened, and personally led the army to attack, and shouted "Xinghua is dead" while leading the army to kill the enemy.
As soon as the Xingjia army, which was already in chaos, heard that Xinghua was dead, they directly dispersed half, some walked forward, some retreated, and even trampled on each other.
Ye Shenyu, who was originally going to go down to help, stepped on the city tower, carrying a knife in one hand, and looked down to find that she was not needed at all - an army of tens of thousands of people was scattered by thousands of Yuyang defenders, and almost all of them were wiped out.
Ye Shenyu: [Win? All the defenders on the city tower rushed down with Gao Wenbin, and she had no one to ask, so she had to ask the system.
Somehow the system is wrong, the mechanical voice reveals that there is no love: [Don't ask me. Do you remember that your mission was a raider? It's not for you to play the destiny of heaven and unify the Central Plains!
[Remember.] Ye Shenyu said calmly, [I'm still alive. If Xie Qun wasn't the target of the mission, she would have been cut down a long time ago.
The system choked for a moment: [......]
Approaching midnight, the battle under Yuyang City finally ended. The Yuyang defenders, who had won a great victory, packed up their spoils and retreated to the city. Ye Shenyu, who was guarding under the city tower, also collected the knife and turned around and went down the city tower.
The city gate was brightly lit by torches, and Ye Shenyu had just walked down when he saw Gao Wenbin and Gu Zhi head-on. Ye Shenyu, who thought that he could finally take the groom to Huainan to eat at the restaurant, had not yet shown a relaxed expression, when he saw Gao Wenbin striding up to her with an excited face and kneeling down directly.
"God bless Yuyang, send the goddess to save me. We are blessed with the grace of the Divine Maiden, and we hereby swear to serve the Divine Maiden as the Lord, and we are at our disposal for the dispatch! ”
As soon as he knelt, Gu Zhi behind him and the defenders next to him all knelt down.
"Swear to serve the goddess!"
Ye Shenyu stood in place, and a clear look of confusion appeared on his face, which had always been rarely emotional.
The system seemed to see a big question mark on her head. I don't know why, although this result is more than 108,000 miles away from the expectations in my heart, a twisted pleasure actually rises in the system's heart: I want you to toss blindly!
Isn't that stupid!
Ye Shenyu didn't know what her system was thinking, and her confusion didn't last long. She didn't care about the kneeling defenders, not even Gao Wenbin, but walked up to Gu Zhi and asked calmly, "When are you going to Huainan?" ”
Gao Wenbin hurriedly said: "Ye ...... Goddess, we ......."
Gu Zhi pushed him on the side, intercepted his words, raised his head and said to Ye Shenyu: "Lord Goddess, I just came out of the house, and I need to clean up before I can follow you to Huainan." ”
"The goddess must be very tired today, so she should also rest."
Gu Zhi carefully observed Ye Shenyu's expression, and saw that Ye Shenyu was unmoved, and said: "Go to Huainan for a long time, the two little sons should also have a good rest." Ye Shenyu didn't know what her system was thinking, and her confusion didn't last long. She didn't care about the kneeling defenders, not even Gao Wenbin, but walked up to Gu Zhi and asked calmly, "When are you going to Huainan?" ”
Gao Wenbin hurriedly said: "Ye ...... Goddess, we ......."
Gu Zhi pushed him on the side, intercepted his words, raised his head and said to Ye Shenyu: "Lord Goddess, I just came out of the house, and I need to clean up before I can follow you to Huainan." ”
