Chapter Seventy-Six: The Glory of the Soldiers, the Might of the Secret Guard
Time flickered, and two days passed in a flash.
At the same time, outside the city.
Gu Zheng, who was located on the east city wall, looked out of the city with indifferent eyes.
Two or three kilometers outside the city, the black-armored soldiers stood straight, looking like a black wave, ready to move, flooding the city wall at any time.
Looking at the black-armored army in front of him, Gu Zheng's face was solemn, he thought that Mu Zhenwu's army would only arrive tomorrow, but he didn't expect that they would come so quickly!
At the same time, he was glad in his heart, fortunately, he marched to Huangcheng and never advanced, otherwise, Mu Zhenwu didn't know what was going on with how he led the army to appear in front of him!
In fact, the warriors of Muzhen sent the cavalry first, and the foot soldiers took a day to arrive.
However, it was not out of Mu Zhenwu's conjecture that the Yaksha army only attacked but did not defend, and they all continued to attack after plundering the wealth in the city.
There are good and bad in this way, and the worst result of this only attacking but not defending is the present!
Mu Zhenwu rushed the battle line to the side of Huangcheng without any pressure, but the most important factor was that Gu Zhicang also made it clear that he wanted to fight in Huangcheng.
Mu Zhenwu, who was standing on the hill, looked forward indifferently, with a difference in his heart, and at the same time a little more dignified.
Huangcheng has been the capital of Cangguo for hundreds of years, and its geographical advantages are not to mention for the time being, so they have rebuilt the city wall for hundreds of years.
And its geographical location is known at a glance, it is located in a dangerous place, easy to defend and difficult to attack, plus there are now 40,000 Yaksha soldiers stationed, it may not be easy to capture it.
Moreover, the moat outside the city greatly reduced the mobility of the cavalry, which made the cavalry brought by Mu Zhenwu fall into a very passive position.
Unless the Yaksha soldiers in the city go out of the city to meet the enemy, they can only wait for the arrival of Xuan Li's foot soldiers.
Although there are divine cannons captured from them in the army, I heard from Guiyi that this big guy needs a lot of yuan stones to be useful, and at this moment Xuan Li is a yuan stone.
Now this big guy is no different from scrap iron, Mu Zhenwu plans to send someone to send this "scrap iron" back to Changning Capital first.
When Mu Zhenwu was still thinking about how to capture Huangcheng.
The young general with a beard on his side said in a deep voice: "General, Nagu is holding a war of attrition with our army with the help of the momentum of Huangcheng. ”
The speaker is one of the generals directly under the command of Mu Zhenwu, Sun Jue.
Fang Yong, who was also one of the generals directly under Mu Zhenwu, hugged his fists and said: "General, please hand over 10,000 iron cavalry to the last general, the last general will definitely be able to break through the city's defenses tonight and help the general lead the army into the city." ”
Sun Jue clenched his fists and said: "General, the last general is willing to lead 10,000 iron cavalry with General Fang to attack this city at night and break its defenses." ”
Mu Zhenwu turned around and said, "Don't worry, wait for us to thoroughly understand this city, and then it's not too late to send troops to attack." ”
He didn't know much about the city in front of him, and if he attacked rashly, it would not only be detrimental to them, but it might also cause them heavy losses.
The only way to do this now is to understand the city first, and then send troops to break through its defenses and attack it.
As the ghost Yi and Li Guanlan who know the city best, the two of them are not in the army at the moment, and both of them are with the foot soldiers in the rear.
And Xu Liuqing followed Chen Hengren downward to attack the 50,000 Yaksha soldiers who went south.
"Yes!" Fang Yong and Sun Jue glanced at each other and replied in unison.
Mu Zhenwu instructed: "Order the soldiers to retreat ten miles back and set up camp, and arrange for people to post here to prevent the enemy from attacking at night." ”
"Yes!"
Under the orders of the two, the army retreated ten miles in an orderly manner.
The general of the ancient position on the city wall, when he saw Mu Zhenwu's army retreating, his face became more solemn.
It seems that this Mu Zhenwu is not good at stubble, he has to deal with it carefully, otherwise, he will have to capsize in the gutter.
Ordering the Yaksha soldiers to guard the city walls, always observing the enemy's every move, and by the way, carefully checking the defenses, the ancient position left the city walls.
On the way back to the main general's mansion, the Yaksha lord general Gu held a stop and stopped, and from time to time he looked back at the city wall.
This can't blame him for being so cautious, but careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years.
In the previous battle in the Northern Imperial Palace, he had a lesson from the past, and all the Yaksha soldiers could see it, and he couldn't follow in the footsteps of Turmo.
In the blink of an eye, night fell, and in the tent, Mu Zhenwu stood quietly in front of the map, waiting for the news from the secret guard at any time.
That's right, at this moment, in the Huangcheng City, there are also dark guards with the Imperial City Division, which have about four or five hundred, and it is also the place where the secret guards invest the most.
Whenever there is a war, the secret guards of the Imperial City Division will take the initiative to provide the news of the enemy army to the main general of Xuanli.
Whether this battle to capture the city can reduce casualties and capture the city as quickly as possible depends on whether the secret guards can find out the enemy's easy situation.
As time passed, the night faded in a blink of an eye, the light of dawn shone on the earth, and on the wide flat ground, tents were erected like clouds.
After not receiving any news from the secret guards overnight, Mu Zhenwu couldn't help frowning and muttered to himself: "I hope their whereabouts are not exposed, otherwise, General Ben can only lead the army to storm Huangcheng." ”
Although the onslaught could also capture Huangcheng, it would cost them heavy casualties.
However, Mu Zhenwu still didn't want to attack, after all, they were all soldiers he brought out, and every family had relatives who needed their care.
"Forget it, I'm waiting for some time, look at Xiangzi, the foot soldiers in the rear are about to arrive."
Mu Zhenwu looked at the shred of sunlight outside the tent, and then began to think about how to take the city and leave all the yaksha in the city.
At noon, seeing that the Terran general was delaying the attack on the city, the Yaksha Lord General Gu Zheng, who was located on the first seat of the main general's mansion, frowned, and his heart was full of doubts.
Mu Zhenwu was so unusual that he vaguely felt a little uneasy.
"That Terran general hasn't attacked the city for so long, could it be that there will be someone in the city who will cooperate with him?" The Yaksha Lord Gu Zhi muttered to himself, thinking in his heart.
In fact, it's no wonder that he thinks so, after all, he is a general of the dynasty, and his combat experience is guaranteed to be richer than all the generals of the human race.
It is necessary to consider all the things that can happen in the city.
He is now the only commander of these 40,000 Yaksha soldiers, and he must fight his way out for the soldiers of his race.
At this moment, Gu Zhicang thought to himself: "Whether there is a combination of inside and outside, he must be cautious, and his heart is always on his throat." ”
If the boat capsizes in the gutter, not only will the gains outweigh the losses, but the army will be defeated.
After thinking for a moment, the Yaksha Lord looked up at Gu Zheng and said coldly: "Ah Leng Mo, I was going to ask you to lead a team of soldiers to patrol day and night, and if there are any suspicious elements, they will be killed immediately!" ”
"Finally, remember, it's better to kill one by mistake than to let go of a thousand, yesterday, Ben General has already sent someone to inform Commander Gu, I believe it won't be long before they will support us, so we have to defend before the commander."
He didn't know which Terran in the city would cooperate with the Terran generals outside the city walls, but he had to be fully prepared to prevent the unexpected.
"Yes! The last will not allow the lowly race to succeed. "This voice is full of murderous spirit, and I am afraid that the people in the city will suffer.
