The next day, as soon as the sky was bright, an army of 100,000 with Liu Ting as the main commander approached the city. The chariot ladder bore the brunt of the battle, followed by the cavalry and infantry, dressed in iron armor, in orderly formation, black and pressing, like dark clouds covering the sun, and there was no edge in sight.

The sound of horses' hooves is like rain, the footsteps are like thunder, and they are pressed straight to Huaiyang City with the momentum of overwhelming mountains and seas, which is particularly eye-catching in the vast snowy wilderness, shocking, and even the ground under their feet will be shaken. From a distance, the flag fluttered, and on the black military flag headed by the leader, the big willow characters were extremely eye-catching.

However, this seemingly unstoppable army stopped advancing two hundred steps below Huaiyang City, and the soldiers led by it looked at the open city gates and were a little at a loss.

The city gate was wide open, and there was not a single soldier guarding the gate in the gate, and there was not a single soldier guarding the city gate except for the fluttering flags, and the whole city was dead silent, like an empty city.

The soldiers led by Liu Ting looked at all this in front of him, and suddenly felt suspicious in his heart, he had been in the army for many years and had experienced dozens of large and small battles, and it was the first time he had encountered this situation. Looking at the chariot ladder prepared for the siege, the eagle claw iron hook, it seems like a joke, and there is no need for it at all.

At this moment, suddenly a melodious piano sound came, each note was mellow and full, deep and distant, and clearly transmitted into the ears of the soldiers under the city, as if with a kind of magic, which made people not only revel in it, wash away the impetuousness in their hearts, and return to tranquility.

Hearing the prestige, I saw a young man wearing plain clothes and high hair on the high city tower, sitting in front of a guqin and stroking the qin.

The young man's face was calm and calm, his expression was focused, as if he did not see the 200,000 troops under the city, and only put all his thoughts on the piano in front of him.

Liu Ting stood on the high chariot, wearing armor, thick eyebrows, and his sharp eyes stared at the wide open city gate, and he couldn't tell what the situation was for a while. But one thing he can be sure of is that if something goes wrong, there must be demons, and there must be deception in this city!

"General, what should I do?" The deputy general at the head was also fully armored, riding on a war horse, and half-turned to ask Liu Ting, who was frowning.

Liu Ting waved his hand, said "Wait", closed his eyes, and listened carefully to the sound of the piano. I was secretly shocked: this young man who plays the piano seems to be plain, but in fact, every note is injected with internal force, which can be transmitted to everyone's ears so clearly.

Although Liu Ting is a military person, but he is also proficient in music, he is no stranger to this "Good Night Introduction", if there is anything greasy in this city, the young man who plays the piano will not be as calm as he seems, as long as he is restless, the sound of the piano will also be implicated, and the rhythm will be unstable, stagnation or mistone.

However, the time of a pillar of incense passed, and until the end of the song, the plain-clothed young man did not have a single wrong note. The sound of the piano stopped abruptly, and Liu Ting couldn't help but open his eyes and look at the young man on the city wall.

Shangguan Jiyue got up and left the case, and slowly crossed to the city wall, and the archers under the city immediately pulled their bows and arrows, aiming at her figure. As long as Liu Ting gives an order, she will immediately pierce her heart with ten thousand arrows and be shot into a hedgehog.

Seeing this, Shangguan Jiyue just smiled, looked down at the towering army condescendingly, and said loudly: "General Liu! My general has a special order to wait here for the general's arrival, and the whole city will be presented, General Liu, please enter the city! ”

Liu Ting narrowed his eyes, the bottom of his eyes was obscure, and he asked in a deep voice, "Where is Yu Wenjing?" ”

"My general has been waiting for General Liu in the city for a long time! I only hope that the general will not affect the innocent people in the city after entering the city! ”

"Do you think General Ben will take your word for it? This is clearly Yu Wenyi's plan to lure the enemy! If you want to lure me into the city, how could Yu Wenjing give up the city? ”

"General Liu is really worried!" With a clear male voice, everyone looked up, only to see a silver-robed young general standing in the wind on the city tower, with a tall posture, looking at Liu Ting with a light smile and continuing, "Father has indeed been waiting in the city for a long time, and now the wine and food have been arranged, and I am here to let the juniors welcome General Liu into the city." ”

"Yu Wenyi?!" Who is the silver-robed young general on the upper floor of this city if he is not Yu Wenyi? Liu Ting was stunned for a moment, then looked at the deputy general on the left, and hesitated, "Didn't he lead the troops to Songtao Ridge?" How did it come to be here? ”

"General Yu, the spies have reported that Yu Wenyi has indeed led a large group of men and horses out of the city secretly from the West Gate yesterday and went to the direction of Songtao Ridge!" The adjutant replied honestly.

"How is Songtaoling doing now? Can spies send messages back? ”

"There's no news yet."

"Revisit! Be sure to find out if Yu Wenyi has gone to support Songtaoling! ”

"Yes! Checkmate! ”

Ten miles outside the city of Huaiyang.

Under the gloomy gray sky, the mountain road is rugged, the trees are high and dense, and the dead branches and leaves under the feet are already a thick layer, and they are soft and soft to step on.

Wei Ying led a dozen people to hide in the half-human-high withered grass on the mountainside, staring at the quiet and narrow mountain road below the mountain through the gaps in the scorched yellow dead stems.

"General Wei, it's been a night, is it really useful for us to stay here? The brothers in the city are now at a stake! One of the subordinates who had been following Wei Ying for a long time couldn't help but ask.

"Shut up! This is the order of the old general, everything is under Qi Yu's dispatch! Wei Ying scolded and stopped talking.

In fact, he was also a little anxious, and the night passed, and there were no pedestrians on this mountain road, and not even a pigeon flew overhead.

At this moment, the sound of horses' hooves from far and near, "da-da-da" echoed in this quiet mountain forest, Wei Ying not only showed joy on his face, but also came!

Sure enough, after a while, a man and a rider turned the winding mountain road, which became clearer and clearer in the mist, and was galloping in their direction.

Wei Ying glanced at his subordinates, and the man immediately took the order and disappeared into the wild grass in the blink of an eye.

On the mountain road, the man rode his horse to the narrowest point in the depths of the mountain, and suddenly stopped his horse, and the horse under him could not help but raise his front hooves and neigh, before he fell down in a hurry.

It turned out that the huge trees on the road in front of him were lying horizontally, blocking the mountain road tightly, and there was a person sitting on the trunk of the thick and thin tree, this person was burly, with a fierce face, and a big knife on his shoulder, and looked at the man on the horse with evil spirit: "I opened this road, I planted this tree, if you want to pass by, leave to buy road wealth!" ”

If Shangguan Jiyue is like this, no matter how cold her temperament is, when she hears this rotten line, it is estimated that she will spit out a mouthful of old blood, and she will definitely be unable to help but complain: Big brother! Won't you change it to something fresh?

However, the figure on the horse was stunned for a moment, then quickly calmed down, took out a silver bag from his arms, and threw it at the feet of the burly man, without saying a word.

The burly man bent down to pick up the money bag on the ground, checked it in his hand, looked up to the sky and laughed three times, startling a few birds in the forest: "It seems that Lao Tzu is developed today!" ”
