On the third day of the meeting, after a series of tense deployments, Emperor Yan finally gave the order for a general attack. I saw www.biquge.info horn of battle sounding again and again in the big mountain city, and the soldiers lined up in a phalanx under the orders of their respective commanders, and walked out of the city with high spirits. As the commander-in-chief of this time, Emperor Yan also went out with the army and joined the first legion of the war dragon. This undoubtedly increased the morale of the troops, whether it was the archers with bows and crossbows, the cavalrymen with their legs straddling their horses, or the infantry with spears and iron shields, there was a raging fire in their eyes, which was the unyielding fighting spirit and the determination to defend their homeland to the death.

Due to the months-long war, most of the backbone of the Yan Army's escort force has been lost, and some of them have defected to the rebels, so there is not much combat power that can be put on the table now. In order to balance the strength of the various legions, Haodong deliberately dispersed the members of several groups into various legions, although the number was small, but it formed a combat force that should not be underestimated. In this process, only Ma Liang declined Haodong's kindness, saying that he was used to bringing his own soldiers, and it would be uncomfortable for someone to join.

At this juncture, there were some discordant sounds. Since yesterday morning, Zhu Jue has lost contact with everyone, and Qiushui and others have searched the entire mountain city, but they have not found any trace of him. Cao Ming also specially questioned the soldiers who were keeping vigil nearby, but he did not get a trace of effective clues. War is imminent, like an arrow on the bow, and it is impossible to stop because of one person. Therefore, although Qiushui and the others were worried, it was to no avail, and they had to focus on the overall situation.

Qiushui walked at the front of the line with his head down, his whole face full of worry. Lin Lin on the side patted him on the back and comforted: "Don't worry, Zhu Jue is so powerful, there will definitely be no accident." I think he must have something to do, so he said goodbye. ”

At this time, Shao Yi also walked over and said in a sarcastic tone: "In my opinion, that Zhu Jue must be a death-fearing ghost, and when he saw that the war was about to start, he patted his ass and ran away." ”

When Qiushui heard this, he suddenly became angry, rolled up his sleeves and wanted to do it. Lin Lin hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop him, and then deliberately said to Shao Yi with a sharp voice: "Brother Shao Yi, I don't know if your injuries are healed? ”

Shao Yi was poked in the sore spot, his face was red and white, and he snorted and returned to his team. Seeing Shao Yi deflated, a smile finally appeared on Qiushui's gloomy face.

After the army successfully crossed the Wangzhi Canyon, it was dispersed into four legions to act separately, among which the first army of Yandi and Zhanlong attacked from the front, the Yu army and the third army led by Haodong and Ma Liang respectively took small roads to flank from the east and west, and He Shan's fifth army was responsible for going around the rear of the enemy to intercept and outflank those who tried to escape.

After clarifying the tasks of all parties, tens of thousands of soldiers let out a roar that resounded through the sky, and then dispersed and quickly marched towards Manchester City.

At this moment, there are still 3,000 soldiers stationed in Dashan City. They all belonged to the Second Army of the Yan State, and since Lu Zhong was dead, and the other generals had led their troops to the battlefield, He Shan specially appointed his subordinate Li Gang as a temporary general, responsible for commanding the army in Dashan City, and doing a good job of supporting the front line.

Li Gang looked a little lost at the moment, he had been serving as a deputy by He Shan's side for nearly ten years. In the past, when he was in the escort team, he was also a well-known figure, and he could enjoy the revered gaze of others everywhere. However, since following He Shan, things have changed. He Shan is a rather conceited person, he always says everything, he has to make his own decisions about big and small things, and it is difficult to listen to other people's suggestions. In this case, his talents are buried and he can only do something inconsequential. The outbreak of the war was a catastrophe for most people, but he saw a glimmer of hope. As long as you can make great contributions on the battlefield, you will be able to gain the appreciation of He Shan and even Emperor Yan, thus changing the situation that has always been taken seriously.

However, after the war broke out, his Fifth Army was assigned to the south, where the rebels were weakest. Compared with the fierce battles on other battlefields, the few encounters he experienced could only be regarded as small fights, and he had no chance to show his skills at all. Finally, he looked forward to the decisive battle, but he was left in Dashan Castle and could not go to the front line to kill the enemy. Although he became a temporary general, he did odd jobs, which made him feel a little desperate in his heart.

He wasn't the only one who felt hopeless at the moment. After more than two hours of travel, the First Army reached Manchester City first at lightning speed. However, the scene in front of him made everyone wonder if they were dreaming. I saw that the gate of the city was wide open, and it was empty, and there was not a trace of human figure in sight.

"Isn't this an empty city plan?" said the war dragon with a frown. Emperor Yan couldn't be sure for a while, but he had already brought troops here, so there was no reason not to go in. Under his orders, thousands of troops entered the city. The city was unusually quiet, and under the light of the raging fire, white tents came into view. As far as the eye can see, most of the buildings in the distance are dilapidated and dilapidated, and no one could have imagined that just a few months ago, this was an extremely prosperous city.

The war dragon bent down, picked up a torch on the ground, and gently touched it with his hand. Judging by the residual heat above, there should have been someone here not long ago. This is strange, even if the rebels learn of their expedition in advance and choose to flee, the roads around them have been blocked, unless they flee back to the north before He Shan, they will definitely run into Haodong or Ma Liang's team. However, they had already discussed that if they encountered rebels on the way, they would send a signal to the other armies. And judging from the experience accumulated by Zhan Long's long-term confrontation with the rebels, Ye Peng is obviously not a character who will obediently return the city in his hands, let alone an important strategic location like Manchester City.

"So what's going on in front of you......" Looking at the empty Manchester City, the war dragon looked very puzzled. Judging by the intelligence, at least yesterday the rebels were still stationed in the city, and it is not known how they managed to escape from the siege without knowing it. From another point of view, if they want to give up the fat in their hands, there must be something more attractive to them. And that thing should be very easy to get.

The Yan Emperor Tiger on the side was shocked, and he seemed to have thought of something. He and Zhan Long glanced at each other, only to see that Zhan Long hurriedly turned around and shouted, "Pass my order and return to Dashan City quickly!" There was a rare hint of panic in his voice.
