Chapter 108: Ambush

The city walls of Jiangcheng are famous for their solidity, and the city walls are made of large bricks, with a smooth surface and a tight structure. The top of the city wall is two zhang wide, and the outer side is a zigzag battlement, and there are shooting ports and lookout ports on the city wall.

The outer wall of the city wall is steep, the inner wall is slightly gentle, and the whole wall stretches straight into the distance like a long gray dragon, disappearing into the green trees and tall buildings. The terrain of the surrounding city of Jiangcheng is flat, the whole city wall is square to enclose Jiangcheng City, and there are four exits in the southeast, northwest and southeast in all directions.

Lingwu Zhenren descended from the south gate at this time, and Xu Wei and Zhao Meng followed each other with their swords. Crunch ...... Crunch ...... The heavy city gate was slowly pushed open by the soldiers, and Lingwu Zhenren, who was holding the descending book and the seal, slowly walked out of the city gate.

He faltered so far that he didn't seem to have the strength to lift his feet. Lingwu Zhenren staggered in front alone, and Xu Wei and Zhao Meng followed far behind. Xu Wei looked at the back of Lingwu Zhenren and secretly estimated that he couldn't hear it when he whispered at this time.

Xu Wei glanced at Zhao Meng, and Zhao Meng took two steps towards Xu Wei knowingly. Xu Wei lowered his voice and said, "Look at it, if he shows his cowardice, kill him first." Zhao Meng nodded, followed Lingwu Zhenren, and the two stood still under the city gate.

Xu Wei began to walk back, and he returned to the ranks of the cavalry team in the urn city. He came to his jujube red horse, turned over and got on the horse, and his own soldiers hurriedly came over and handed over Xu Wei's weapon, the Jiuqu gun.

At this time, a small army at the head of the city of Wengcheng saw a lot of smoke and dust in the distance. "It's coming, it's coming." Xiaojun shouted, ran to the direction of Wengcheng and said to Xu Wei: "General, they are here." Sure enough, there was a faint rumbling drum in the distance.

In the distance, I saw the red flag fluttering, and the black-armored and red-robed Huoyan soldiers stepped on the drums, and the fiery red robes fluttered high. In front of them were a large number of cavalry, and these cavalry armor was as beautiful as a parade procession. The Chinese army waved Wei Dongfan's handsome flag, and it turned out that this time it was Wei Dongfan who personally led the troops, and Baili Zhen also followed him.

In the urn city, Xu Wei ordered: "Prepare." As soon as the words fell, the crossbowmen pulled their strings and arrows, ready to attack. Xu Wei also clenched the gun in his hand and prepared to fight.

Wei Dongfan was still unaware of all this at this time, and he rode on his horse proudly. Yesterday he received a letter from Lingwu Zhenren asking him to surrender, and he didn't suspect it at all. After all, since the Northern Expedition, the White Lotus army has been overwhelming along the way, and it can be said that it must be attacked and won. In particular, the Fourth Army Tianquan Army, especially the Huoyan soldiers, has the most outstanding achievements.

Now, is there anyone who doesn't know how powerful the Huo Yan soldiers are? Wei Dongfan thought exactly that, especially the battle of Phoenix Slope that he had just fought. This battle completely crushed the Tujiao Elite Tax, and it was impossible for him to have any doubts.

Therefore, as soon as he received the letter that Jiang Cheng was willing to surrender and that Lingwu Zhenren would personally submit the surrender letter to Wei Dongfan, he accepted it almost immediately. If he can win Jiangcheng without a fight, and can personally accept the martial spirit real person of the Tujiao after surrender, then he must be the first hero of the Northern Expedition. may even have the qualifications to compete with Cheng Shaoqing in the future.

However, although Wei Dongfan is crazy, he is not stupid. He sent his cronies selected from his Tianquan army as the vanguard of the front army, and entered the city first. If the other party is cheating, then he is in the Chinese army, and it is too late to run.

The forward elite cavalry came to the city gate, and the young general led by him raised his whip and drove the Lingwu real person who offered the book and table aside. Lingwu Zhenren and Zhao Meng had no choice but to retreat and let Bailian's cavalry enter the city. One by one, these cavalry flaunted their might and entered the cavalry. You must know that since the Northern Expedition, it has always been the Huo Yan soldiers who have played the vanguard, and today it is finally their turn to show their faces, so they can't wait to raise their nostrils as high as they are.

The White Lotus Spirit rode into the urn city, and saw the Houtujiao cavalry lining up on both sides, as if welcoming them into the city. The cavalry was even more formidable, and they kept their heads held high. The entire front army entered the city in full force after a while, and Wei Dongfan's Chinese army also came to the city gate. At this time, to everyone's surprise, Wei Dongfan suddenly shouted: "Stop advancing." ”

The Chinese army stopped like this, and Zhao Meng, who was following behind Lingwu Zhenren, panicked all of a sudden. His heart was almost jumping out of his throat at this time.

What's going on? Is it where it was exposed? Could it be that Wei Dongfan saw it?

I saw Wei Dongfan touch his beard and said, "You! Come to me. It turned out that Wei Dongfan wanted to further show his authority, and he wanted Lingwu Zhenren to hold the descending book in front of him.

Lingwu Zhenren was so frightened that his face was like ashes, but he didn't dare to disobey. He shook three steps, only to feel that the tray in his hand weighed a thousand catties, and finally moved it in front of Wei Dongfan. Looking at Wei Dongfan's arrogant face, Lingwu Zhenren knelt down, and Zhao Meng also knelt on the ground.

Wei Dongfan was very satisfied at this time, he was not in a hurry at all, but looked at the two people kneeling in front of him with great interest. It turns out that this is the famous Lingwu Zhenren, and it is said that in the Five Elements Sect Alliance, this Hou Tu Sect is very powerful. Now it looks like an inconspicuous little old man, and if he doesn't wear such fancy clothes, then it won't be inconspicuous to throw in the crowd.

After enjoying the privileges of the victor, Wei Dongfan felt a little bored. He raised the whip in his hand. Lingwu Zhenren stood up and began to walk in front of him. And Wei Dongfan rode a horse and followed him not far behind. Wei Dongfan knew that this was the time when it was most likely to cause problems, so in this way, it also meant that Lingwu Zhenren was taken hostage. As long as there is a slight change, he can kill the Lingwu real person first.

Entering the city like this, Xu Wei also scratched his head secretly when he saw this posture. In the current situation, it is almost impossible to let the ambush soldiers kill Wei Dongfan without hurting the Lingwu real person.

Fuck it, Xu Wei turned his heart sideways and looked at Zhao Meng. That means things have to be done, and you're ready to hit backhand. Zhao Meng and Xu Wei have been fighting together for many years, so they naturally understood the meaning of this look, so they nodded slightly.

The group continued to slowly walk towards the depths of the urn city, Xu Wei clenched the gun in his hand, and silently said in his heart: Closer, closer. Wei Dongfan followed behind Lingwu Zhenren, and the horse walked very slowly, and he had just entered the city not far from this time. If you start at this time, you will definitely scare the other party away, and that's the end of it.

Xu Wei kept thinking in his heart: get closer, hurry, go faster. And Lingwu Zhenren really couldn't get up soon, he stood with the tray for a long time, and with the extreme panic in his heart, he was already overwhelmed. Jiang Cheng is wearing such a costume in such a hot weather now, which makes him sweat layer after layer, and now he is almost dehydrated.
