Chapter 786: A Narrow Road Encounter

"Dashuai, we've been circling the city wall for a long time, where are we going?"

On the official road, Tianqiwei had already circled the southern wall of Changxing City for a long time, but he had never entered the city, Cao Siyuan couldn't help it, and asked the voices of many people.

Xu Rui sat on the war horse and did not answer, but waited for Li Kuang's war horse to come from a distance, merge into the ranks of the Apocalypse Guard's march, and then came straight to him.

"Did you find it?"

Xu Rui asked Li Kuang.

Li Kuang nodded: "Jinyi Wei has found out that King Han went directly out of the south gate under the escort of Wang Yi's army and headed southwest!" ”

"Ran away?!"

Xu Rui frowned when he heard this.

Li Kuang said: "It's gone, I heard that they went out of the city directly and didn't stop, and immediately stayed away from Changxing City, now is the critical time to seize the heir, King Han actually took Wang Yi's army from the side of the King of Liao and abandoned Changxing directly, there is a thick weirdness in it, could it be some conspiracy?" ”

Xu Rui sneered: "It's not strange that something strange happened to them, if it can really make ordinary people figure it out, then it's a strange thing." ”

"But King Han has run away, what should we do, do we enter the palace to fight?"

Li Kuang asked.

Xu Rui was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then suddenly looked back at the majestic Changxing City, and sighed for a long time and said, "That's it, let's leave a breath of vitality for this country, let's go chase another mouse!" ”

"Another mouse?"

Li Kuang looked at Xu Rui in confusion.

Xu Rui sneered: "Today's Changxing Rebellion is caused by those two rats, they want to escape after doing a good deed, how can there be such a good thing in the world?" Ordered the army to immediately divert to the northwest! ”

"Northwest?"

Cao Siyuan, who had been silently listening to the conversation between the two, was suddenly puzzled: "Dashuai, King Han fled to the southwest, why should we go to the northwest, do we just give up Changxing City and go outside?" ”

Xu Rui sneered: "Of course not, because the northwest is the only place where another mouse can escape!" ”

"What?"

Cao Siyuan and Li Kuang were both confused and didn't understand what Xu Rui was talking about.

At this moment, Xu Rui's gaze swept nearby, and suddenly his face changed, and he shouted: "Stop, stop the whole army!" ”

Everyone was stunned, not knowing why Xu Rui suddenly ordered the army to be stopped, but as soon as he gave his military order, the efficient herald system of the Apocalypse Guard immediately worked, and tens of thousands of Apocalypse Guards stopped on the official road in just a moment.

And just when the Apocalypse Guard stopped, a large number of soldiers suddenly killed in the dense forest on the right side of the army, and countless flags were also raised on the city towers on the left and right, and a large number of soldiers showed their heads.

Apparently someone had set up a killing array here, and if it had been discovered any later, the Apocalypse would have crashed headlong into the enemy's encirclement, and it would have been dangerous at that point.

In the face of the sudden enemy, the Apocalypse Guard was shocked.

This time the army moved with Xu Rui, and did not send scouts to explore the way, but I didn't expect to almost step into someone else's trap.

However, the Apocalypse Guard has long been well-trained, and when he encounters a sudden enemy, he does not have the slightest panic except for the initial shock, and without Xu Rui's order, he immediately relies on the official road to set up a defensive formation, as long as the enemy dares to attack, he can immediately start to fight back.

"Who is so bold as to dare to ambush us here?"

Li Kuang asked in astonishment.

Cao Siyuan said in a low voice: "Look at the banner on the city tower, it should be the left guard of the tiger." ”

"Tiger Guard?"

Li Kuang was slightly stunned: "Didn't the Tiger Ben Zuowei just change the commander, it seems that he is the eighteen-year-old general Long Yun who followed His Royal Highness King Su into Beijing?!" ”

Hearing this name, Xu Rui immediately recalled the stubborn figure who was rescued by himself from the Pony Mansion a few years ago.

King Su had specially mentioned this person to him before, and he had a high opinion of Long Yun, saying that he could see Xu Rui's shadow from his body, which left a deep impression on Xu Rui.

I didn't expect this person to set up an ambush here today.

"Great marshal, the Tiger Ben Left Guard doesn't know the height of the sky, and he dares to ambush our army here, just use the new artillery to let them taste the power first!"

Cao Siyuan's face sank and said with a sneer.

"Wait!"

Xu Rui frowned and waved his hand to stop, his eyes jumping back and forth on the soldiers of the Tiger Ben Left Guard in the city and the forest, as if thinking about something.

At this moment, a loud shout suddenly came from the city tower: "Enter the city!" ”

At the sound of an order, the commander of the Tiger Ben Left Guard, who was hiding in the woods, immediately gave up the attack formation and walked towards the city gate in a neat line, as if he had originally entered the city.

The scene in front of him suddenly stunned the Apocalypse Guards.

"Which one is this?"

Cao Siyuan asked in amazement.

Xu Rui said: "All the gates of Changxing are controlled by King Han, but this gate is the only one that does not see the defenders of the city gate, and the marshal will notice something strange and order the army to stop."

But you also saw what happened next, the tiger guard was divided into two, one part was hidden in the dense forest, and the other part was hidden on the castle tower, if it was really intended to ambush, who would use this formation? ”

Cao Siyuan understood it at a glance, and suddenly said: "The marshal said that they were about to enter the city, but they happened to meet our army, and they were worried that they were coming at them, so they would ambush them on the spot?" ”

Xu Rui nodded: "At present, the situation in Changxing City is chaotic, and it is difficult to distinguish between friend and foe, and the left guard of the tiger should have seen the smoke and dust raised by our army on the official road from a distance, so he will temporarily make a defensive posture." ”

Cao Siyuan muttered: "If our army is really coming at them, there is a chance that they will enter the city immediately, then they will be attacked at both ends, and the brave will win when they meet on a narrow road, this Longyun kid is still a little anxious." ”

Xu Rui remembered the figure of the twelve-year-old boy again, shook his head and said: "It's a misunderstanding, don't worry about them for the time being, after the Tiger Guard enters the city, we will immediately turn around and march to the northwest and march sixty miles!" ”

"Yes!"

The Apocalypse Guard and the other soldiers obeyed the order in unison.

On the other side, after the Tiger Ben Left Guard entered the city, the young commander made Long Yun not leave, but instead stood at the head of the city and sent the Apocalypse Guard to turn around, until the army disappeared from his field of vision.

"Dashuai, it's time to go, we've been delayed for too long."

The deputy general couldn't help but remind behind Long Yun.

Long Yun turned around, without any superfluous expression on his face, and walked down from the city tower without saying a word.

The adjutant general scratched his scalp, hurriedly followed, and muttered: "Boss, it's strange, King Han obviously made an appointment with the prince to let our army enter the city from the north gate three hours ago, but why did our army wait for a long time, but the north gate has not been opened?"

It took us more than half a circle around Changxing City to find such an unguarded city gate, and it was delayed for so long at once, so we had to blame the prince. ”

"King Han has a different heart, King Liao is in danger!"

Long Yun opened his mouth lightly, concise and to the point, and cherished words like gold.

The lieutenant general was obviously accustomed to the rhythm of his speech, and led a war horse for Long Yun to ride on.

After finally entering the city, Long Yun was about to gather a large army to kill the palace city, but suddenly saw three people hurrying towards the city gate.

"Despicable and shameless, the dignified Great Wei actually laid a trap at the city gate, so many people intercepted and killed me and the other three people?!"

When a woman saw a large number of tiger guards blocking the city gate, she was immediately furious, pointing at Long Yun and shouting.

Long Yun frowned, looked at the three of them carefully for a moment, and then recognized that the three were none other than Ning Qian, the sword god of the East China Sea, as well as his daughter Ning Xianru and his only remaining apprentice, Lu Kang.

"You, the real one, get out of the way, or you won't be able to save your dog's life even if there is a large army on your side!"

Just as Long Yun was groaning, Ning Xianru suddenly pulled out his long sword and pointed at Long Yun and said coldly.
