Chapter 29: The Great Array of the Seven Turns of the Stars (3)
As Xiong Zhuangzhuang said, of course, it was impossible for the Three Fierce Men to be confused by Yun Tianjia's empty city plan for too long.
In fact, only half a day after Yun Tianjia withdrew from the bunker, Fu Rengu realized that something was wrong.
As a sorcerer who is engaged in exorcism and soul refining, he has the most keen perception of the rise and fall of yang energy.
He found that the yang energy inside the earthen fort was too weak, and it was getting weaker and weaker.
Yang Qi is weak, there are only two possibilities, either the person is gone, or the person is dead.
Obviously, there weren't many dead people in the bunker. For they had thrown stones into the bunker for a day, and they did not hear a decent scream of death.
However, Dugu You was not in a hurry to attack the earth fort, and for the sake of prudence, he still maintained the posture of besieging but not attacking.
He knew that when people left, it was natural that there was a tunnel in the earthen fort to connect to the outside. Whether the tunnel was dug early or improvised, it was impossible to dig too long, and the exit of the tunnel must be located in the mountains not far from the city.
There are thousands of officials, soldiers and civilians in the earthen fort, and they support the old and the young, drag children and daughters, bottles and cans, chickens and dogs, no matter how hidden they are, they will definitely show clues.
He believed that the sentinels would hear from him soon.
On the one hand, Dugu You stepped up contact with the sentinels, and on the other hand, he sent people to urge the snake Xuanlu to return to the camp.
Surround the point to send reinforcements, but the points are gone, and the reinforcement has become an empty word.
Fu Rengu waited patiently for another day, but did not receive any valuable reply from the sentinel, so he couldn't sit still, and proposed to break through the earthen fort to see what was going on.
Dugu was calm and abnormal, and said: "There is no trace of the official army in the east, north, and south, and I think eighty percent of them fled west." The west valley is dense and forested, known as the 'immortal tomb' in ancient times, it has always been a forbidden place for mountain people, there are many officials and soldiers, it is impossible to go too far in such a place, what is there to worry about?
Moreover, the west side is the direction of our base camp, and when they go there, they are not throwing themselves into a net and killing themselves? Wouldn't it be better for us to gather the soldiers and horses of the hematoma and snake scales, and then go and kill them cleanly? Why rush and risk attacking the earthen fort? If there is an ambush inside, we will not suffer a dumb loss!"
Fu Rengu does make sense to think about it.
The best thing for the Three Murder Sects is mountain and jungle warfare, whether it is his ghost servant, the crazy beast soldier of Ruan Bei, the deputy master of the sect, or the zombie of the snake scale, once he enters the mountain forest, it is like a dragon returning to the sea, and it can exert exponential power.
Therefore, they are not afraid that the officers and soldiers will escape from the bunker, but they are afraid that they will hide in the bunker and not come out.
Two days later, a small leader panicked and reported that a group of officers and soldiers had been found in the northwest, and that dozens of brothers had died at their hands when they heard the news that dozens of brothers had died in the team that had gone to intercept them.
Dugu Yu exclaimed: "What? The official army was found in the northwest? Could it be that their reinforcements came? How did they bypass the ambush circle of the snake scales?"
The little leader said: "There are only about a hundred of them, and many of them are bandaged, wounded, and disabled, and the one who took the lead is a Xuanhua giant axe, which is the short muscular man who brought people to charge and kill our camp a few days ago." They came out of the mountains and forests to the west, trying to sneak around Hanyuan County, only to be discovered by our rangers. They were afraid of revealing their whereabouts, so they desperately chased the rangers and slashed and killed. A group of patrolling brothers went up to intercept them, but instead they stopped them, but they lost most of them and retreated. The enemy did not pursue it any further, but went to the northwestern mountains and forests. ”
"What are you doing in a panic? That's not reinforcements, it's a breakout team sent out by the officers and soldiers to find foreign aid. Fu Rengu's fingers tapped on the tabletop and said, "From this point of view, they are indeed hiding in the mountains and forests in the west, and it is estimated that life is very difficult and they can't stand it anymore." ”
Dugu You frowned and said, "I don't know what the hell is going on with a big hematoma, I haven't come back for so long." In this way, I sent someone to send him another letter, saying that the remnants of the officers and troops had fled to the mountains and forests, and it was a good time to encircle and annihilate, so that he would leave a small part of the men and horses to continue the ambush, and I would immediately personally command the main force to join us. In addition, it should be time for Ruan Bei's crazy beast soldiers and beast generals who are reared in the mountains and forests to come in handy. ”
The living king of Hades Fu said: "I don't care how you dispatch troops, I must take this earthen fort today!" Without saying a word, he sent people to slam open the gate of the earthen fort with great fanfare, and when he went in, he saw that it was empty and there was no one in sight.
Under Duguyou's meticulous search, the secret passage of the Zhongbao Hall was discovered without accident, and the soldiers who entered the secret passage to search soon returned to the ground in despair, wounded and poisoned.
There are hidden weapons buried everywhere in the tunnel, the middle collapses, the exit is sealed, and it is impossible to find the enemy along the tunnel. However, it was certain that the tunnel did lead due west, thus confirming their previous suspicions.
......
Besides, Wang Yuting, Zhong Dinghe, and the withered leaf monk were separated from Yun Tianjia and others on that day, and followed cautiously with the wounded, walking slowly, and when they arrived at Hanyuan County, they suddenly saw the trace of the sentry sent by the Spiritualist Sect, and hurriedly took the car to hide in the mountains and forests on the side of the road.
The sentry was also careless, and he didn't expect to run into the officers and soldiers as soon as he left the city.
But stupid people have stupid blessings, and fortunately, Wang Yuting was determined to let him keep that little life.
The road is not to be walked.
Wang Yuting and others decisively abandoned the carriage, carried the wounded, and walked along the mountain path as close as possible to the county seat of Hanyuan.
The withered leaf Zen master used the soul technique 'Shadow Withered Leaf Butterfly' to find out the situation in the earth fort, and everyone briefly discussed, and decided that Wang Yuting would ride back to Huazhou Mansion alone to ask for help, while Zhong Dinghe and Withered Leaf would take people to continue to hide in the mountains, waiting for the opportunity.
Two days later, Wang Yuting came back with fifty elite veterans, saying that Fengzui Pass had been lost, and Huazhou Mansion and the Zhaoyao Army could not send more reinforcements no matter what, and everything had to rely on themselves.
Just these fifty people, he still sold an old face and begged hard.
These fifty veterans are all fourth-order soul venerable cultivators or above, and they are the personal soldiers of Pu Wenjie, the assassin of Huazhou, who looks after the family, saying that there is not much or too little, and that they are not enough to charge the battle, and they are more than enough to protect themselves.
Wang Yuting thought about it again and again, and did not take the risk to save the earth fort, but continued to lurk, prepared the steel to be used on the blade, and took action at the critical moment.
A group of people silently fed mosquitoes in the mountains for a few days, and this morning, they suddenly found that the people in the earth fort had gone to the empty building, and all the officials and civilians in the fort were transferred away through the secret passage.
The earth fort is guarded by a formation, and the "Shadow Dead Leaf Butterfly" cannot enter the interior to investigate what it is, and the exit of the secret passage is far away from the detection range of the dead leaf monk, so where Yun Tianjia and they have gone is difficult to find out for a while.
Everyone walked in the mountains for two days without a clue, and only then did they get in touch with Yun Tianjia and the others.
Yun Tianjia sent people to secretly take Wang Yuting, Zhong Dinghe, Withered Ye and others back to the camp, and ordered Xiong Zhuangzhuang, Hong Liang, and Zhang brothers to lead a hundred elites, pretending to be wounded, pretending to sneak through the siege and looking for reinforcements.
