Chapter 392: The generals are scattered and the empty city is broken
Ji Chengyun paced around the mansion restlessly, and letters sent by the imperial court to ask questions came one after another, but as far as he knew, Yuan Ye and Guo Yewang had not been to the court for several days, and they had not even appeared in front of people, Yuan Chen sent people to search the prince's mansion, but there was not even a ghost in the mansion, could it be that they really ...... No, it won't be that fast, right?
"Could it be that they ......" thought, thinking about it, the more Ji Chengyun thought about it, the more uneasy he became. Looks like they're already enforcing the final terms of the "Demon Pact", no! he must join their queue as soon as possible, he doesn't want to suffer with the rats!
At this moment, there was a knock on the door, and the voice of Ling Feiniao was heard, and Ji Chengyun summoned him in.
"General Ji, according to the report of his subordinates, the mysterious troops under the command of Mr. Xia did not attack Gaigano City at all, but dismissed the troops halfway, led three people, turned in the opposite direction, and should have gone to Tryan City. Ling Feiniao said worriedly, "I'm afraid that this incomprehensible move has ulterior motives, this time, I'm afraid we won't come back, and we are still being crushed by Haring, we can't sit still!"
"Alright, it doesn't matter! The 'Black and Gold Knights' are gone, and we don't have the strength to control the situation anymore. As Ji Chengyun spoke, his eyes were very resentful.
"What's more...... Sutlon has already sent troops from the city of Guegano, and the two wings of the war cavalry are like dragons and tigers, and we ......"
"Don't say it again!" Ji Chengyun waved his hand, took a deep breath, and hesitated for a long time before he spoke gloomily, "Ling Feiniao, you don't care about us, go back to the Demon Realm." ”
"Huh?" Ling Feiniao was stunned, "General, are you laughing?"
"I'm serious!" Ji Chengyun actually pointed to the door and shouted, "This matter has nothing to do with you, don't say any more 'swear to follow me', I don't like to hear it! What to do, what not to do, I Ji Chengyun knows it in my heart, no one needs to remind me!"
"General Ji......" Ling Feiniao was shocked and couldn't come back to his senses for a while.
"We're about to have a catastrophe coming...... Ji Chengyun sighed, his expression was extremely unnatural, "Listen, Ling Feiniao, you have to go back to the Demon Realm, only by finding that demon and canceling that contract can you get a glimmer of life!"
"You mean...... The final terms of the demon contract have already begun to be executed?" Ling Feiniao was suddenly terrified, every clause of that contract, he was clear, if the final terms were implemented, how terrifying it would be!
Before the night fell, Ji Chengyun and Ling Feiniao both disappeared into Kaolan City, and just before the guild army arrived in Kaolan, the main generals all ran away.
If Ji Chengyun's guess is right, Yuan Ye and Guo Yewang must be in that place at this moment! For Ji Chengyun, the only way out is to meet Yuan Ye and walk together, only in this way can he get the protection of the devil! He is not afraid of death, but he does not want to die! He will not give up the desire to live, even if that day, he will become a demon!
The guild army quickly lined up and surrounded Kaolan City on all sides, but Kaolan did not give any response, no matter how much he scolded, there was never a single figure on the city.
Su Tren felt strange, and returned to the camp and asked Guo Xing: "The reaction in the city is too strange, isn't it? ”
"That's someone telling us something. Guo Xing thoughtfully, "Tonight we will first station down to observe the situation, and early tomorrow morning, if the enemy army comes out of their heads, we will attack the city with all our might." ”
Before Xia Yanfeng left, he left a bag of tips for Haring, the acting coach of Kaolan City, and asked him to wait until the guild army came to attack. Haring thought it was a clever plan left by Mr. Xia to retreat from the enemy, but he didn't want to be so stunned that he couldn't speak on the spot after he secretly opened the bag, and stood there for a long time before he recovered from the shock.
In the bag, there is a letter composed of "magic rune paper", this kind of letter that relies on magic elements to keep the text visible, can only be kept for five minutes after seeing the light, and after five minutes, the element dissipates, and the text is no longer visible, which also shows that Xia Yanfeng can't completely trust anyone.
I saw that the letter read: "Harlem, if the enemy army arrives, he will quickly lead the whole army to abandon the city and flee that night." Ben Shuai knew that Ji Chengyun would leave, and the black cauldron of Kaolan would be carried by you, and Kaolan would not be defended. If you surrender, with Sutrun's personality, you will be killed, and the commander can't bear to suffer the loyal and righteous people under his account, so you can abandon your banner and temporarily go to the city of Kena, which is a neutral faction, and report the name of Guo Xing, and the city lord Yu Viking will not dare to harm you. The members of the Commune of Kaulan should also disguise themselves as civilians and migrate with the army, and Yu Viking will not be suspicious of your origins when he sees you in exile with civilians. At the moment, there is a catastrophe sweeping the human world, you are Ben Shuai's soldiers, so Ben Shuai firmly believes that you will trust Ben Shuai, and we will meet again one day. ”
Haring was deeply shocked and restless. He didn't know what to do, but in the end, he still made up his mind! Mr. Xia is their god, even if their god is at the end of the earth, they will always be the servant of the god!
Late at night, in accordance with Xia Yanfeng's secret order, Haring resolutely decided to move the city. However, the Guild Army has already cast an all-round encirclement network against Kaolan City, but even if Xia Yanfeng is not there, he has calculated that the Guild Army will adopt the tactics of large encirclement, so he has designed a top-secret escape route for Haring and the others!
The four gates opened at the same time, and the magic cannon sounded, and after a bluff, the northwest corner where the guild army's weakest defense was swung open, causing panic among the guild army.
"The enemy army has rushed out of the city to sneak attack!" For a while, the guild army was boiling!
When the news reached the big tent, Su Trun couldn't help but be surprised when he heard that the Zhongguo army was attacking out of the city. Don't they want the city and their lives? If they hold on, maybe the battle will still have to be fought, and once they can't hold their breath, then Kaolan City will be lost in an instant! This Mr. Xia is so shrewd, it is impossible not to think of this, what happened to them?
"Mr. Xia is no longer in the city. Guo Xing smiled mysteriously and said something that stunned Sutrun.
"What? Mr. Xia is not in the city? How is it possible?"
"Don't worry about so much, don't pay attention to the enemy troops rushing out of the city, tonight, our whole army will enter the city!" Guo Xing said with a smile.
Suthren did as he said, so he issued a strict order to siege the city, and everything really went unusually smoothly as Guo Xing said, and the resistance of the guild army encountered by Haring's vanguard troops was also scattered and careless, fighting all the way, and there were not many deaths under his men. All climbed the back mountain, the troops shouted and embraced, Haring took the lead, the members of the commune were in the middle, from the back mountain to the dense forest in the northwest direction, and galloped in the dense forest for a while, and then out of the forest, all the way to the plains and wilderness, unimpeded, and the guild army seemed to be really useless to encircle and suppress them, Haring's resistance was like a decoration, he had to marvel at the clever calculation of "Mr. Xia", but he didn't know Xia Yanfeng's intentions.
Xia Yanfeng's original intention was to let them rush out and throw themselves into the net and send them to death collectively, although he was reluctant to give up Haring's life, but the matter on the side of Kaolan City must be concealed and cannot be done, in order to deal with the relevant personnel, he can only do this. Of course, going to Kena City is naturally a promise that Xia Yanfeng may never be able to fulfill, and the reason why they were able to escape was because Guo Xing saw through Xia Yanfeng's mind and didn't take these people into account at all, how they are, whatever they want.
Early the next morning, the castle of Kaolan City was already covered with the banner of the Human Guild, and the Kaolan Fortress, which had caused the guild army to be the most humiliating since the expedition, finally fell into the hands of the Guild in this incredible night. The strange thing is that the city of Kaolan that night was completely empty, unlike the "empty city" last time, there are no more traps and weirdness in the city, only the old, weak, sick and disabled women and children of every family, even the young and strong men are all missing, and the stable is empty as usual, there is not a single war horse left, there is nothing in the grain and grass, not even half a straw left, it can be said that the army of Kaolan is like moving, and the entry into the city is too smooth, right? Don't say that Mr. Xia, even Ji Chengyun and even the Black Gold Knights are all gone.
"Say, where have the men in each of your households gone, and where have your generals gone?" A woman who sold vegetables was caught on the street, and Lu Ziqi tortured her.
"I ...... I...... I don't know......" The woman was so frightened that she was speechless and broke out in a cold sweat.
"Don't you say yes, you don't even know where your man is, do you?" Lu Ziqisen smiled coldly.
The woman still shook her head vigorously, Lu Ziqi couldn't ask no matter how she asked, and the woman still pleaded with pity: "General...... Could you please let the little girl go home...... The little woman has an old mother on top and a ...... below."
"Click......" The moment the sword was unsheathed, a cold light flashed, and Lu Ziqi's face was bloody, holding the sword in his hand, leaving a bloody mark on the woman's neck, and the woman fell down with a glare.
Rather than waiting for the day when you can't accept the fact that your man splits his legs and runs to commit suicide by throwing himself into the river, it is better to kill you, a waste woman who can't control men, now, so that your man can rest assured and bold to mess with flowers and grass outside. Lu Ziqi muttered to himself, his smile was so cruel for the first time, and his brain seemed to be particularly sensitive to the words "splitting legs" and "women don't know where men are".
At this time, Lu Ziqi's subordinates brought another gray-haired old man, he was just about to interrogate, but a powerful aura had already passed through the door, looking at the person who entered the room in front of him, Lu Ziqi bowed respectfully and said, "Big brother!"
"No need to ask, those people have always done things mysteriously, how can ordinary people know?" Guo Xing squinted at the corpse of the woman lying in a pool of blood on the ground, and said coldly, "Most of the men in the audience have been confiscated, and the large army has abandoned the city and fled, no matter what the reason, this is a group of cowards!"
"My son is not a coward!" the old man coughed dryly, as if he was showing signs of rage.
"Smack!" the slap sounded, and the old man's face was red and swollen, and he fell to the ground.
"Which turn is here to get your old thing to speak!" Lu Ziqi put away his slap and looked at him angrily, "Bark! You old puppet continue to bark! Try barking again! Dare to be disrespectful to the eldest brother, you want to be slaughtered, right?"
