Chapter Twenty-Seven: Crisis

The soldiers of the Falling Moon Kingdom on the city wall tried their best to resist the attack of the War Demon Clan, and suddenly the War Demon Clan below the city wall sounded the sound of war drums and horns, and saw the gorgeous chariot at the back of the War Demon Clan rushing towards this side, followed by a large army of elite soldiers. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 There were more than 20 generals on the city wall, and one of the leading generals saw that the soldiers of the War Demon Clan were abnormal, and he stared at it, and the gorgeous chariot was the Battle Demon King, and he pointed to the Battle Demon King's chase: "Look, the War Demon King himself has gone into battle!" Another military general said: "No, is it possible that the War Demon King has been in a hurry for a long time?" The leading military general sneered: "This is better, we will shoot the War Demon King!" So he shouted: "Brothers, give me concentrated firepower and shoot the Battle Demon King!" Everyone's morale suddenly increased, and they shouted loudly, and the sharp arrows were shot at the chariot of the War Demon King.

Under the city wall, the War Demon King waved his spear to resist, and a group of people in front blocked their shields in front to protect the War Demon King. Suddenly, the War Demon King was accidentally hit by an arrow in the chest, sat on his back on his seat, and then quietly glanced at the guards beside him, and all the guards shouted: "The king has been hit by an arrow, the king has been hit by an arrow...... Evacuate ...... Protect the king......" At this time, the battle demon clan's formation was in chaos, the retreat horn sounded, and everyone held a sword in one hand to block the rain of arrows, and the other hand used a shield to cover the retreat.

On the city wall, all the soldiers of the Falling Moon Country were cheering: "Okay, I shot...... Good ......" took advantage of the great increase in morale, and all the archers increased their firepower. Seeing the situation, the leading military general said, "The War Demon Clan is going to withdraw its troops, go and tell the general!"

After a while, a group of people came out of the city tower, and the one who walked in front was a general who was nearly forty years old, wearing bright light armor, thick eyebrows and thin eyes, long nose bridge, short beard, dignified and elegant face, if he took off this armor, he would look like a scholar. Immediately beside him was a stout man of his age, dressed in black skin and gold soft armor, with a bearded face like a cloud hanging around his puffed nostrils and thick lips, and thick and slender eyebrows above his apricot eyes, which looked like a rakshasa.

The leading military general saw the two of them coming out, and greeted them and said, "General, just now the Battle Demon King personally went into battle, and he was hit by an arrow in the chest, and they seem to be withdrawing!"

The general in the bright light armor hurriedly walked to the edge of the city wall, looked down through the battlement, and saw that everyone in the war demon clan was in chaos, and retreated back in panic. He said solemnly: "Why do I think this is a little strange?" and ordered a few generals: "Stop firing arrows first, I want to see what they want to sell!" The generals immediately ordered everyone to stop firing arrows.

All the people of the War Demon Clan retreated and gathered, and they could vaguely see that on the gorgeous chariot in the distance, the general of the crew beside the War Demon King was there to beckon everyone to retreat. After a while, a man on horseback came out of the middle of their ranks, ran up to the city wall and shouted, "Let you go today, and fight again another day!"

On the city wall, the general who looked like a rakshasa said to another elegant general, "General Mu, should we go out and chase it?"

General Mu said: "Don't act rashly, be careful, I always feel that there is something wrong with their style!"

"Shall we just let them go?"

"They won't leave, we have to inform everyone to guard the city gates, be careful that they come back again, and give us a surprise!"

The Rakshasa general said, "Okay, let's wait and see!"

On the upper floor of Jufeng Guancheng, Huai Chong, Mo Xiaofeng and others stayed to help Ying Zhong defend the city. Ying Zhong sent a man to Jushui Pass as soon as possible, and he must ask for 5,000 elite soldiers. In the city tower, several people were sitting there waiting for the arrival of five thousand elite soldiers, but it was not the hour, but there was no movement, Ying Zhong was anxious, and went out to see the outside situation for a while, and then turned around in the city tower for a while. Huai Chong got up and said to Zhong: "General Ying, it's already past noon now, why haven't the reinforcements come yet?" Ying Zhong said: "Jushui Pass is only thirty miles from here to Jushui Pass, and it stands to reason that it should come, but don't make any more stubble!" Huai Chong said: "Could it be that they are unwilling to send troops?" Ying Zhong said: "No, Jushui Pass will gather wind with us." The two levels of Julei have always been of the same mind, both are against the king of Lanye County, if any of our levels are broken, then our entire force will be weakened, when we are exhausted, the king of Lanye will eat us one by one, so they will definitely not leave us alone, what I am most afraid of is whether the side of Jushui Pass will also be besieged!. ”

Mo Xiaofeng interjected from the side: "In this way, the King of Lanye County simply wants to use this demon army to attack and weaken your power, even if you repel the demon army this time, I am afraid that the King of Lanye County will definitely not let you go afterwards!"

Ying Zhong listened to what he said, sighed and said, "That's right!"

Huai Chong asked, "How many troops does the Lanye County King have now?"

Ying Zhong said: "Now the king of Lanye County is in charge of all the soldiers and horses in the southwest, there are as many as 120,000, but among them, there are our wind, fire, thunder and water four passes and the south city, and to the west there are the west wing city and the hidden pass, adding up to at least 70,000 troops who do not obey his orders, so he can really wield at most 50,000, if not, I am afraid he would have rebelled a long time ago." ”

Huai Chong said: "So it is certain that the king of Lanye County wants to use this demon army to attack and weaken your power, and if the demon army invades the royal city, he can wave all his soldiers and horses to join the demon army to seize the throne of the king, or sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight and then reap the benefits of the fisherman." ”

Ying Zhong said: "Actually, we all know that the king of Lanye County has coveted the king's position for a long time, but he has military power, so there is no way to take him all the time!"

Mo Xiaofeng said: "In this way, we don't have to wait for reinforcements any longer, since the King of Lanye County wants to deal with you, he will definitely cut off the contact between all of you, let you disperse, and then break them one by one, so he will not easily let you get in touch with each other, if my expectation is correct, the people we sent may have suffered misfortune on the way!"

Ying Zhong said: "Could it be those mysterious people in black again, they must be the killers raised by the king of Lanye County?" Mo Xiaofeng said: "There is this possibility!" Ying Zhong frowned and said, "How is this good!"

Mo Xiaofeng said: "General, we have to guard against it now, I think we should send all the people and grain and grass near the pass to a safe place as soon as possible, if a large number of demon troops attack, we can't hold the city, and the people won't suffer!"

When Zhuang Han heard this, he said unhappily: "Second Young Master, you are planning to fight to the death, this is not like your style!" Mo Xiaofeng smiled silently, Tang Lie patted Zhuang Han on the shoulder and said: "What kind of mouth do you have, when have you seen the second young master let us go to death!"

Huai Chong said: "I think that's okay, it's very difficult for us to get reinforcements right now, we might as well see how the Lanye County King will deal with it if the demon army attacks Lanye City!"

Ying Zhong nodded, sighed and said, "Actually, what you said is also reasonable, just don't do it, just do it!"

So Ying Zhong instructed his subordinates to quickly escort all the people in the vicinity to the mountain, and then hide the grain and grass.

The demon army outside the secluded pass had just retreated, and the general who looked like a rakshasa and the wooden general were still standing at the battlements above the city wall, and it was vaguely seen that tens of thousands of troops were coming from not far away. He thought it was the demon army attacking again, and pointed to the 10,000 army and said, "General Mu, you see they are back again!" General Mu looked at it and said, "How do I think they don't look like the army of the demon clan!"

The army in front of him gradually approached, and General Rakshasa saw the lineup of those people clearly, pointed at them and shouted: "General Mu, that's General Jufeng Guan Wusa!" General Mu smiled and said: "Hey, they are here, now we can rest assured, hurry up and open the city gate, and prepare to welcome!"

So the gates opened, and a crowd stood at the door.

From afar, Wu Sa saw that there were no enemy troops around the city walls, but the ground was in tatters, leaving traces of fierce battles. He led the army to the city wall and shouted to the city gate: "General Mu, General Zuo, what the hell is going on?"

The general who looked like a rakshasa was Zuo Shan, who was guarding the secluded pass, and he said to Wu Sa: "General Wu, you are too late, the demon army has already defeated us!"

Wu Sa was very surprised and said, "How is this possible, you can't be playing tricks on me!"

General Mu said, "The War Demon Clan has just retreated, and I have sent someone to inform you!"

Wu Sa said: "How did you repel the demon army?"

General Mu said, "You come in with us first, and I'll tell you slowly!" Wu Sa said, "Okay!" and followed them into the city.

Wu Sa, Zuo Shan, and General Mu entered the city tower, and the three of them sat down.

Wu Sa asked General Mu: "General Mu, your total is only 30,000 people, how can you defeat the 50,000 army of the War Demon Clan, aren't you afraid that they will pretend to be defeated, and then attack your West Wing City while you are unprepared?"

General Mu said: "So I can't leave now, maybe they just want me to think that they are going to attack the West Wing City, so that they can withdraw from the Youguan, and then they will turn back and attack the Youguan again!"

Zuo Shan said: "Don't worry, Wusa, the Battle Demon King actually went into battle in person just now, and he was hit by an arrow in the chest, I'm afraid that now his life is difficult to protect, where do you still have the heart to attack this pass and occupy that city, besides, aren't you worried that they will attack your Jufeng Pass?"

"Oh!" Wu Sa said, "Did you see with your own eyes that the War Demon King was hit by an arrow?"

Zuo Shan said: "That's still fake, we saw him hit an arrow with our own eyes, and he almost died!"

Wu Sa nodded and said: "If that's the case, I'll be relieved, but I'm worried that my third brother will go to help General Suoyin attack Stop Flame City, in case he encounters their main army, I'm afraid it will be more than lucky!"

"What?" General Mu was stunned for a moment and said, "Suo Yin, have they gone to attack Flame Stopping City?"

Wu Sa slapped the table and said: "Suo Yin, this fool actually listened to the words of the King of Lan Ye County and went to attack Flame Stopping City...... He told him all the news he got from the mouth of the Heart-Eater Clan's Soul Snatching King, and told them all the news, and said: "I was worried that Suo Yin was in danger, so I sent my third brother Bohuan to rescue him, I don't know what happened now, I have to hurry up and see!"

General Mu said: "Since this is the case, then without further ado, it is important to save you General Suoyin and your third brother, I will not keep you!"

Wu Sa said: "I have to leave quickly, you guys guard the secluded pass here first, and we'll meet again another day!"

Zuo Shan patted Wu Sa on the shoulder and said, "Brother, be more careful!" Wu Sa said: "Okay, don't worry, I'll leave first!" After speaking, he hurriedly walked out.

In the Jufeng Gate Tower, Mo Xiaofeng and the others have been waiting for reinforcements to arrive. It was already sunset, and suddenly a guard came in from outside, looking at his expression, it seemed that he was in a hurry, and just said: "General Qiqi!" Ying Zhong hurriedly stood up and said: "What, are the reinforcements coming?"

"No," the guard said, "General, news has just come from Youguan that the War Demon King has been wounded by an arrow, and the army of the War Demon Clan has retreated!"

"Oh!" everyone was shocked by this.

Ying Zhong asked again: "How are General Wu and General Bo?" The Shou said: "I don't know this, they didn't say it!" Ying Zhong said: "Fortunately, they didn't say it, it proves that they are all safe!" and waved his hand again: "You go down!"

After the guard left, Mo Xiaofeng stood up and said, "I think there must be fraud in this, we have to guard against it!" Ying Zhong said: "I also feel that something is wrong." Huai Chong said: "How can the War Demon King be easily injured, I have seen him duel with my second senior brother Non-Demon Ancestor, I know that he is wearing a treasure armor, called Henggong Red Scale Fan Shield Armor, which is extremely hard and invulnerable, if you want to hurt him, unless you shoot him in the head, how can he be injured!"

Ying Zhong said: "I see, the Battle Demon King generally doesn't haunt easily, he has such a treasure armor body, I really don't know!"

Mo Xiaofeng said: "So, they deliberately feint, so will the next target be us or West Wing City?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the guard ran in again and said loudly: "Report, general, the army of the War Demon Clan has been found thirty miles away from the city, and it is rushing towards us!"

"Ah!" Everyone didn't expect the Battle Demon Clan to be so fast, Ying Zhong said to Mo Xiaofeng: "Sure enough, you said it, what can I do?"

Huai Chong said: "General Ying doesn't need to panic for the time being, we still have the Soul Pulling King as a hostage, they don't dare to act rashly!"

Ying Zhong said: "You still don't know about the War Demon King, he is a cold-blooded person, he can do anything to achieve his goal, sacrificing a soul-ripping king, it is insignificant to him!"

Mo Xiaofeng said: "Isn't he afraid of causing the anger of other demon kings?"

Ying Zhong said: "The War Demon King is one of the best demons among the demon kings, and he is also the one with the most soldiers and horses among the twenty-six demon clans, even the Tai Evil King is afraid of him, even if other demon kings dare to be angry, they dare not speak, Brother Mo, you are resourceful, you can help think of a way!"

Zhuang Han was anxious, and reprimanded: "Why don't you think of a way, it's just a matter of growing others here to destroy your own prestige, and give us the second young master a problem, I think we have no other way than to defend the city!" Huai Chong pushed him and said: "Hugh is rude!" Zhuang Han stopped making a sound.

Mo Xiaofeng smiled slightly and said, "You don't have to be anxious, in fact, when I asked you to dismiss all the people nearby, you had already thought of a countermeasure, but I don't know if General Ying dares to do it!"

"Oh!" Ying Zhong said, "What do you say about countermeasures first?"

Mo Xiaofeng said: "Actually, the reason why I asked you to dismiss the people and transport away the grain and grass is that I didn't plan to let you guard the Jufeng Pass!"

"What?" they were puzzled, and Ying Zhong said, "What do you mean by that?"

Mo Xiaofeng said: "I am not from your Falling Moon Country, originally your affairs, I can't interfere at will, so I just offer you a plan today, whether you need it or not depends on General Ying's decision!"

Ying Zhong knew what he meant, but he just wanted to leave a back hand for himself to shirk in case of failure, so he said: "Okay, you just say it, whether it is success or failure today, I will bear it!"

"Okay!" Mo Xiaofeng said: "My idea is this, the army of the War Demon Clan is more numerous, but they have been fighting for a day and a night, and they are already sleepy and tired, and now it is almost time to Shen, when they come to Jufeng Pass, I am afraid that the sun is about to set, after they attack Guancheng, they will definitely not attack Julei Pass immediately, but will rest here for one less night to recuperate, so we might as well let Guancheng out in advance, and wait until night to sneak attack Guancheng!"

Ying Zhong listened and said, "But all of us now have only 3,000 people, how can we sneak attack their 50,000 army?"

Mo Xiaofeng said: "We can contact Youguan and General Wusa's men and horses to rush back, gather somewhere, and then we will surround Jufeng Pass together!"

When Ying Zhong heard him say this, it was also a good plan, and his heart suddenly became much clearer, and he said: "That's right, this is really a good way, I will arrange the organs up and down the Guancheng, so that if they enter the Jufeng Pass, it will be equivalent to coming to die!" After speaking, he smiled excitedly, and said: "By the way, I'll call the people from the Julei Pass again!" Mo Xiaofeng said: "No!" Ying Zhong said: "Why is this?"

Mo Xiaofeng said: "You'd better send someone to the area around the Gathering Thunder Pass to secretly investigate, because it is very likely that the Gathering Thunder Pass has been occupied by the King of Lanye County!"

Ying Zhong said: "How is this possible, the envoy of the Youguan has been to the Gathering Thunder Pass, if it was occupied by the King of Lanye County, it should have been killed a long time ago!"

Mo Xiaofeng smiled and said, "Do you really believe in that messenger?"

Ying Zhong's brows suddenly tightened: "What, you mean that there is something wrong with the envoy?"

Mo Xiaofeng said: "I'll explain this to you later, the War Demon Clan is about to attack, please act in a hurry with the general plan!"

"Well, okay!" Ying Zhong no longer hesitated.
