Regarding Ye Yunyang's so-called sixth sense, Ying Qi was skeptical.

In her opinion, Yancheng has complete fortifications, and the enemy's strength has been greatly reduced after the two battles of Longcheng and Kaiyang City, and he should not attack Yancheng in a big way until his troops are replenished.

Of course, in order to prevent the enemy from launching a sneak attack, it is necessary to be careful.

Order in the city is fairly stable, and the refugees in the two cities have basically been properly resettled.

At three poles in the sun, a rapid horn suddenly sounded at the south city wall.

"What's going on?" Ye Feng asked.

A herald walked in, knelt down and clasped his fists, and said, "Lord Qiqi, a large number of demon beasts have been found outside the southern city wall, and the preliminary estimate is that there are thousands of them. ”

"What?" Ye Feng's eyes widened.

The herald continued, "There are more demon beasts converging towards the same position, and signs of orcs gathering are seen in the distance. ”

Ye Feng was taken aback, since the last battle of Yancheng, he had focused all his attention on the orcs, and then ignored the demon beasts that had been raging for half a year.

It's no wonder that at the same time that the orcs were born, the demon beasts disappeared for a while, and many people subconsciously thought that they were almost wiped out, and they were not a threat to the human race, and they only needed to deal with the orcs with all their might.

The herald continued to kneel on the ground, waiting for Ye Feng's instructions.

Ye Feng's mind has been completely messed up, more than 3,000 orcs plus thousands of demon beasts, in terms of strength, they are not weaker than 10,000 wolf knights, are they going to attack the city?

What to do?

Seeing this, Ye Yunyang opened his mouth and said: "Let the soldiers on the city wall prepare to defend against the enemy, our various fortifications are complete, and the enemy will not return!"

"Yes, young marshal. The herald stood up and left.

Ye Feng took a deep breath, looked at his son and said, "We ignored the demon beast. ”

Ye Yunyang nodded: "No wonder I always had an ominous premonition before, I always felt that the orcs would not give up, let alone retreat, with the addition of the demon beasts, a new force, no matter in terms of strength or combat effectiveness, all of them have met the requirements of the siege." Father, let's go to Nancheng and have a look, knowing ourselves and knowing each other can win all battles. ”

Ye Feng stood up and said, "Okay, go to Nancheng!"

Before leaving the mansion, Ying Qi came to Ye Yunyang's side and whispered, "Your feeling is right, I shouldn't take it seriously." ”

He smiled and shook his head: "It's okay, what can I do when it's serious?" I just feel that the danger is not far away, but I can't tell what the danger is, the city is already on the highest level of alert, in fact, even if I know in advance that the demon beast will appear, at most I will make some adjustments to the deployment of troops, which will not play a big role." ”

Ying Qi nodded lightly in agreement.

Yancheng's current situation is that all the defensive deployments that can be made are in place, and the only thing left is to obey the mandate of heaven and do his best.

Several people climbed the south city wall together, and in the open space ten miles away, demon beasts gathered from all directions, mainly four groups of wild apes, toothed beasts, wild wolves and wild boars, plus white-fronted hanging tigers, flaming lions and alligators, and so on.

Ye Yunyang picked up the telescope and said while doing mental calculations: "A rough estimate is that there are eight to nine thousand heads, and I believe that they will eventually gather 10,000 troops." ”

Ying Qi looked at the other side and said, "There are still about three thousand five hundred orcs, and they have completed the assembly, and compared with last night, the strength of this group of people is greatly reduced." ”

In the battle of Kaiyang City last night, Ye Yunyang and Pu Lao joined forces to destroy a total of hundreds of orcs above the Golden Body Realm, coupled with the results of the master group, the orcs lost almost all the masters of the Golden Body Realm and the Yaokong Realm, and the Tongyuan Realm was also consumed a lot.

But even so, their overall combat effectiveness is still above the defenders, and as long as there are no major tactical problems, it is not a problem to break through the city.

Hundreds of elephants rolled out the siege engines and moved along with the other orcs towards the gathering place of the monsters.

"They are really going to attack the city!" Ye Feng said in a deep voice.

"Not necessarily!" Ye Yunyang disagreed, and said: "If I were the leader of the orcs, I would order my subordinates to surround but not fight, and wait until the will of the defenders was broken, and then attack the city." ”

Lu Zishuo said suspiciously: "What the young marshal said is reasonable, but can those orcs think so far-reaching?"

Before Ye Yunyang could speak, Ying Qi said first: "Don't forget how they fought the battle between Dragon City and Kaiyang City, first attacking the east and west, and then killing two birds with one stone, causing us to be caught off guard and lose two cities overnight." ”

Lu Zishuo nodded: "Makes sense." ”

Sure enough, after the orcs and demon beasts joined forces, they did not rush to attack, but put down their weapons and sat on the ground.

After a while, three tiger men came escorted by a team of wolf knights, they stood three miles away from the city wall, and the tiger men led by them shouted at the top of their voices: "Listen to the soldiers and civilians in the city, we are only targeting Ye Feng and his wife, you are all innocent, if you don't want to die, open the city gate immediately to welcome us in, or secretly run out and surrender to us, to ensure the safety of you and your family! If you refuse to surrender, when the city is broken, the chickens and dogs will not be left, and you will be given three days to think about whether you are dead or alive!"

With that, they walked away, leaving a group of men looking at each other on the walls.

Ye Feng was very surprised and said, "Orcs actually know how to fight psychological warfare, is their intelligence so high?"

Ye Yunyang shook his head: "Not every orc is so smart, as long as there is one smart one, one person gives orders, and the other orcs do things according to orders." Father, things are getting worse, you need to plan ahead. ”

Ye Feng frowned: "What do you mean?"

He said solemnly: "Although the Ghost Face Legion has millions of people, it is only a lone army after all, and it is operating in the territory of Great Qin, so what can you do if you occupy the base area? ”

Ye Feng thought about it carefully and said, "Your words are very reasonable, but it is not suitable to retreat now, even if you want to leave, you have to finish this battle." ”

It is true that now the retreat will be pursued by the enemy, the army is better, and the people are bound to suffer.

Ye Yunyang nodded and said, "Since my father has agreed, I will immediately send someone to inform the Emperor of the Han Dynasty and ask him to prepare for the reception, we will first destroy the enemy in front of us, and then retreat to the Great Han." ”

"Good. Ye Feng took a deep breath and said, "I will seize the time to do the ideological work of the soldiers, so that they will willingly leave with us." ”

When the news reached the imperial capital of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Liu Qi said happily: "Okay, the Ghost Face Legion is coming to join the Han Dynasty, and I welcome it with both hands! Prince, you personally supervise this matter, and you must make the soldiers of the Ghost Face Army feel at home." ”

The crown prince Liu Rong clenched his fists: "Father, rest assured, the sons and daughters will definitely do this beautifully." By the way, the people sent into the ancient ruins have found a lot of Xuan bones, and the first batch will be transported back to the imperial capital immediately, how to distribute them?"

The emperor didn't think about it and said: "As before, first distribute it to high-ranking people, help them quickly improve their strength, and strive to create a large number of masters in a short time, so that we can have the strength to fight against the orcs." ”

"Understood. ”

......

Early the next morning, Ye Feng took Ye Yunyang and others to the city wall to supervise the process of changing shifts of the defenders.

With a tired soldier on his face, he left his post and replaced him with a group of energetic soldiers.

Lu Zishuo trotted over and hugged his fist at Ye Feng: "Ye Shuai, a group of people came to Shuai's mansion, they claimed to be the squires of Kaiyang City, and asked to see you. ”

"Squire, what are you doing when you see me?" Ye Feng was a little puzzled.

"Thank you for saving your life. Lu Zishuo said with a smile: "They came with wine and meat, saying that if you hadn't given the order to retreat in time the night before yesterday, they would have all died under the butcher's knife of the orcs, plus you took so much care of them after arriving in Yancheng, so I came to thank you." Don't stare at it, because it's a good thing, and it can't be stopped, so I'll tell you quickly. ”

To be supported by the people is a great honor for an army and a commander.

Ye Feng smiled: "Okay, then go back and have a look." ”

He was worrying about how to take away the original inhabitants of the Three Cities, these people were more homesick, and if they didn't leave, they would definitely suffer from the poison of the orcs.

This is a good opportunity for the people to thank themselves and find an opportunity to propose to them the idea of transfer, which should be embraced.

Ying Qi was also very happy, like Ye Feng, she thought that being able to get the support of the people showed that the Ghost Face Legion had a good reputation, and it was something to be happy about.

Seeing Ye Yunyang's suspicious expression, she asked, "What's wrong, is there anything wrong?"

"I have a question. He turned his head to look into Ying Qi's eyes and said, "From the day you were stationed in the three cities, what is the attitude of the people in the city towards the Ghost Face Legion?"

"It's not bad!" Ying Qi replied: "Uncle has formulated a new system of official management, as well as a series of new systems such as taxation and city defense, and the people have benefited, so they will support us." ”

Ye Yunyang asked again: "Are you sure you really support it, not have to support it?"

Ying Qi's face changed: "What do you mean, what do you mean by having to support?"

He said in a flat tone: "Because you have an army of more than one million, the people can't afford to provoke them, so they make a look of support, for fear of offending you." Tell you the truth, is there such a phenomenon?"

"Well...... "Well," Ying Qi said hesitantly: "...... There will definitely be, and while the new system is good for most people, it is also bad for the interests of others, and they are honest because we have soldiers. ”

"Understood. Ye Yunyang nodded, and quickly followed Ye Feng and Lu Zishuo in front.

Ying Qi's brows furrowed deeper and deeper, and she shouted, "What do you understand? You understand, I don't understand yet, tell me, what are you suspecting?"

Ye Yunyang didn't answer, thinking that there must be a ghost in the so-called thanks!
