Chapter Ninety-Seven: Crisis

In the battle of Shengjue Valley, the dragon drive army wiped out hundreds of thousands of troops in East Turkistan, and then subdued the two fierce generals Yueji and Chopper, and the successive victories made everyone full of fighting spirit. Because Yuri lacked the help of Hidden Ji and others, he could only retreat in the city every day, and no matter how the dragon drive army called in front of the castle tower, he would not fight.

On this day, there was good news from Dongling Pass, under the command of Marshal Qian, the hundreds of thousands of invading East Turkistan troops were also defeated, and retreated to a place ten miles outside the city gate, not daring to fight again.

Wang Tianhao looked at the situation in front of him, and couldn't help but say with a sigh of relief, "Yuchen, it seems that you and Xiaoxue don't need to play this time, the East Turkistan army has long lost morale, I don't think it will last long, and they will retreat on their own." ”

Of course, Ye Yuechen was also very happy, but in addition to being happy, he always felt depressed in his heart, and he didn't feel the joy of winning the battle at all. At this time, sitting on the ground in the room had been silent for a long time, Yan'er, Murong Xue and Wang Tianhao all felt very strange and asked the reason, but Ye Yuechen couldn't say it himself, and always faintly felt that something was going to happen.

"Chopper, do you know where the group of Hidden Queens went?" Ye Yuechen asked the two behind him. Since they followed Ye Yuechen, it was like becoming his personal bodyguard, guarding him all the time.

"Back to the king, this is unknown, the whereabouts of the people of the Heavenly Demon Sect have always been erratic, we don't know when he left the army, and I heard Yuri talk about it later. ”

"That's right, I think maybe my worries have something to do with the Heavenly Demon Sect. They were originally in league with the East Turkistan army, but they have not appeared on the battlefield until now, which makes me the most uneasy, I don't know what kind of conspiracy they have. As soon as he thought of this, Ye Yuechen's expression became even more solemn.

When they saw him like this, they did not know what to say, so they sat on the ground with him to pass the time. At this moment, Qin Tuo walked towards everyone with a few people with a panicked expression.

"General Qin, what's wrong, is something wrong?" Ye Yuechen hurriedly got up and asked, thinking to himself that his worries had really come true?

Qin Tuo swallowed a mouthful of saliva, it seemed that he was in a bit of a hurry. "Oh no, there is an urgent report from Mobei Pass, and the city has been lost. The East Turkistan army is advancing towards Yanjing. ”

"The Mobei Pass in the northwest is lost, isn't the defense there the strongest among the three passes, and there is also the protection of the moat, the East Turkistan army is only about 200,000, how can it be so easy to capture the Mobei Pass?" Ye Yuechen was extremely shocked.

"The specific situation is not clear, General Jing Yu has already evacuated with the army, and I am also going to support with the Royal Praetorian Guard, which will be completely in the hands of Marshal Xi, so I specially came to tell you. ”

"It must be someone from the Heavenly Demon Sect who has joined the battle!" Ye Yuechen only thought of this possibility, so he said to Qin Tuo, "General Qin, I'll go with you, if that's the case, we also have the means to deal with it." ”

Of course, Qin Tuo knew what Ye Yuechen meant, and immediately nodded.

"Chopper, Yueji, I order you to follow Marshal Yu for the time being, and everything will follow his orders from now on, understand?"

"Yes, King!" Although the two of them didn't have a good impression of Xiyan, they didn't dare to disobey Ye Yuechen's orders.

After Ye Yuechen and Murong Xue said goodbye to everyone one by one, they rushed to Jiezhou City with Qin Tuo. It was a military stronghold of the Dragon Drive Empire, and after Yushu Castle, it entered the territory of Suzaku Castle. Jing Yu was about to retreat there, and Qin Tuo decided to rush there with the Royal Praetorian Guard and 200,000 dragon drive troops to meet them.

Just as they were leaving, Yuri also received news from Hidden Hime, and Wantong Pass and Longli Town, which were originally very quiet, suddenly became lively, and the war broke out again.

Qin Tuo led everyone to hurry non-stop, and finally arrived outside the city of Jiezhou after a day and a night.

Looking at the city wall that was intact for the time being, Qin Tuo finally breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Great, it's good that I arrived in time." ”

"Who?" the defenders on the wall saw a large number of troops approaching, and drew their bows and arrows to the fullest.

"It's me, Qin Tuo!"

A leader-looking defender's eyes widened at this time, and after carefully identifying it for a while, he said, "It's really General Qin, open the city gate quickly." ”

A total of 250,000 dragons drove the army into the city of Yushu, which was now peaceful and undamaged by the war.

The defending generals seemed a little baffled, because they hadn't received any news that a large army would be stationed here, so they asked, "General Qin, why did you bring a large army here?"

"Why, didn't you hear the news that the military situation in Mobei Pass was urgent?" Qin Tuo asked rhetorically.

"I haven't heard of the military emergency. ”

"What?!" Ye Yuechen and Qin Tuo called out almost at the same time.

"Bring me the map. Qin Tuo thought for a while and hurriedly ordered.

The general defending the city hurriedly took out the map and spread it on the ground. Qin Tuo looked at the map carefully, and suddenly shouted loudly, "It's not good, it's a trick." ”

"What's going on?" Ye Yuechen and Murong Xue looked stunned.

"Look. Qin Tuo pushed the map to the side of the two and said what he thought.

On the map, Mobei Pass, Wantong Pass and Jiezhou City form a triangle, Longli Town and Feihuang City are located in the southeast of Wantong Pass, Yuzhou City is located in the easternmost part, and behind it is Yanjing Zhuque City. And in the middle of Wantong Pass and Mobei Pass, there is an inconspicuous small place - Baiyang Town.

The distance from Baiyang Town to Mobei Pass and Longli Town is not far, but it is not close to Jiezhou City, and the purpose of the East Turkistan Army is very clear, that is, to separate Qin Tuo and Xiyan, and then break them individually.

"Oops, that's a big carelessness. Qin Tuo patted his head and said regretfully.

"General Qin, what should we do now?" Ye Yuechen asked anxiously.

"It's too late to go back now, and if Yushu Castle is breached, Yanjing will be in danger, so I can only hope that Marshal Yuyan can withstand the attack. At present, only the battle situation at Dongling Pass is in favor of our army, and I will immediately inform Marshal Yu Jian of the battle situation to see if he has any good ideas. ”

Ye Yuechen also nodded, now it can only be like this.

At this moment, the defenders of the city suddenly shouted, "There are enemy troops!"

Qin Tuo and Ye Yuechen got up and took a look, only to see that outside the city tower, the dense East Turkistan army had already approached the city, led by two burly men, holding big swords and riding on the backs of two wild bulls and beasts. This wild bull beast Ye Yuechen still heard it from Yue Ji's mouth, and their mount is also this thing, but it is one size bigger than the one in front of him.

Ye Yuechen's eyes were sharp, and he saw that there was also a person in black clothes and a veil in the East Turkistan army, and at this time he was sitting on a sedan chair carried by eight people, looking at everything in front of him with cold eyes. Ye Yuechen couldn't help but shudder, he had a bad premonition.

"Which of you dares to come out and fight?" the two leaders of the brute beast called out to the formation.

At this time, the strongest people in Jiezhou City were Qin Tuo and Ye Yuechen, and of course this kind of thing belonged to them.

Seeing that Ye Yuechen was about to fight, Murong Xue held his arm worriedly, and said softly, "Brother Yuechen, be careful. ”

Ye Yuechen and Qin Tuo rode out of the city on horseback respectively, because Ye Yuechen did not have his own weapons, so he casually took a long sword and straddled his waist, when he approached the wild bull beast and the two East Turkistan big men, Ying Xue suddenly raised his head and hissed, the sound was like a horse, and like a dragon, after the wild bull beast heard the sound, it slowly retreated!
