When Ling Hujue walked down the city tower with Xiusi and others, the follow-up troops had already arrived, and rows and rows of heavy cavalry poured into the city gate solemnly and quickly, and the sound of hooves was as light as bursts of thunder.

Ling Hu Jue sighed softly, and looked firmly and indifferently at the enemy's retreat - the West Gate, where, at this time, there were all kinds of magic arrows flowing sporadically in the night sky, and you could faintly hear the panicked screams of those defeated enemy troops after being blocked. So, a grim smile appeared on his handsome face, and he turned his face sideways and said, "Look at this situation, we have succeeded in this first step." β
"Marshal Linghu really didn't look at the wrong person. Once again, Lacey admired Linghu's meticulous deployment, and as a member of the Purple Heart Clan, he had shared the idea from an early age that wisdom was always the most ferocious weapon on the battlefield. He sighed with emotion and said, "Today I really realized the sentence in the book of war -- a good fighter must move like a mountain, guard like a rock, advance like a storm, and lie like an abyssal sea. in order to survive a hundred battles. General Linghu, admire, admire. β
Ling Hu Jue politely shirked and said, "General Reis, you are polite, it is up to people to plan things, and it is up to heaven to make things happen, I just do my duty." At this, he paused, as if remembering something, and asked, "General Lacey, you must know more about the Liulai Empire than I do, and I will ask you about someone, the Black Knight Gengna, have you heard of it?"
As if he had been slammed in the chest with a heavy fist, Lacey's expression was a little unnatural, and he said in surprise, "Of course I've heard of it, how could the general suddenly ask about this person?"
From Reis's expression, Ling Hu Jue already understood that this black knight Gengna was not simple, so he told Gengna the situation of fighting Gengna as it was, and finally added, "I really didn't expect that there would be such a master in such a remote town." β
Lacey quietly listened to Ling Hu Jue's words, the expression on his face changed from the original surprise to nervousness, his eyes were a little dull, and his wheezing was a little muddy, "What? You met Geng Na, this--how is this possible?" Speaking of this, Lacey paused, he noticed that the tone in which he spoke like this was a little disrespectful to Ling Hu Jue, so he changed to a lower tone and continued, " Black Knight Gengna is a rising star among the generals of the Liulai Empire, don't look at his young age, but he was born in a legendary family, his grandfather is the most famous marshal of the Liulai Empire - "Black Shuai" Geng Sai, in the past two years, he has also begun to be reused by the military of the Liulai Empire, and has been serving in the Royal Whirlwind Cavalry Legion of the Liulai Empire, and there are several young good deeds who have called him and the blood knight Frankfurt, the magic knight Orlando, and the god knight Ray Allen and called the four knights of the Liulai Empire. You say, he ββββββ how could he come here?"
Ling Hu never thought that this black knight Gengna would have such a big background, and he could sit side by side with Frankfurt and others, you must know that these people are all difficult characters in the Mingsi Empire. "First the princess of the Ghost Ninja Clan, and now the ace knight of the Liulai Empire, could there be any connection between this?" Ling Hu Jue's heart couldn't help but rise like a cloud of worry and depression, he realized that Gengna's appearance must have some special reason, maybe it was related to the war in front of him. Standing beside Ling Hu Jue and not speaking, Mans, who closed her eyes and recuperated, obviously realized this, she opened her eyes, and stared at Ling Hu Jue with eyes that were obviously much dimmer than usual, but she didn't ask. She knew that what Ling Hu Jue needed now was not a question, but an answer.
Lacey obviously didn't know as much about Ling Hujue's character as Mans, he secretly sighed and asked softly, "General Linghu, will there be any changes in the military situation?"
Linghu didn't speak, but his mind was spinning rapidly: what was the reason for Gengna's appearance here? Could it be that the Liulai Empire had other combat strategies? Could it be that the Sand Fox Battalion was already aware of our actions? Linghu Jue pondered deeply, and the chaotic questions surged through his mind like weeds. But there are so many problems that make him more determined to take the Sand Fox camp faster. "So, Theseus, give the order that all the cavalry assemble outside the west gate in half an hour, and that Lacey and I go first. β
"Yes, Boss, but I don't know what to do with the captives?" the corners of his mouth moved forward, and the tone of Theseus was still full of indomitable spirit. I saw that at the entrance of the alley in front of me, on both sides of the street, one after another of the Liulai soldiers who had been unarmed and tied together, were escorted out, looking at their dejected appearances, I am afraid that I still can't figure out where these cavalry of the Mingsi Empire came from.
At this time, Charles also hurried over from a distance with a group of cavalry, and everyone could not hide the excitement and joy on their faces, it is no wonder that after so many years in the army, it is the first time that they have occupied a city so lightly.
Xia Erce rode to Ling Hu Jue, turned over, and saluted Ling Hu Jue, "The last general will see the general." The garrison of the enemy army in Dinghai has been occupied by us, and the soldiers who want to retreat from the west gate have also been routed by us, and they are still guarding there, and now the whole of Dinghai has fallen into our hands. β
Looking at the group of heroic young people in front of him, Ling Fox's lips began to soften, and he called them all to him with a smile, "Okay, very good, you all did a very good job, clean, neat, worthy of being soldiers of the Mingsi Empire." β
Every cavalryman's heart blossomed, and no one thought that Linghu Jue, who was usually unsmiling, would praise their exploits so approachably. Charles, in particular, blushed even more, and said shyly, "General, don't talk about it, if you want to talk about merit, I think it's better to give it to Tefaro, you didn't look at their arrows, that's accurate--" After speaking, he shook his head, looking incredulous.
"Heheββββββ. Ling Hu Jue smiled, that smile was as natural as a blooming epiphany in the night. Yes, he was really glad to have people like Tefaro, Theseus, and Charles in front of him. "Alright, let's not talk about that, Charles, are there any of these captives who have a higher position. β
"Yes, there is one, it is the commander of the enemy's thousand horsemen, cough, this guy, when we rushed into the camp, he slept very soundly, looking at his appearance, eighty percent of him drank too much, and when I came out, I was asking someone to pour cold water on him. Charles replied dryly.
"Well, wake this man up, and bring him to me outside the West Gate. I imprisoned the rest of the captives, put more men to watch them closely, and after a day I let them go. β
"Yes. Charles complied with the command, and led the others on their horses, judging by the way they rode their horses, they were more upright than before, and it was evident from this battle that every warrior was confident in their future, believing that their heroes would bring them flowers and glory.
"Boss, what about the soldiers who stayed behind to watch over the captives?" Theseus's face was full of excitement with a hint of melancholy.
Ling Hu Jue replied calmly, "It doesn't matter, it will take at least two days from the Tiger Prison to here." After a day here, they escorted the wounded warrior back to Crow City. β
"So what do we do now?" Lacey was obviously much calmer.
"Gather your troops first, and then wait until I see the Thousand Cavalry Commander. Ling Fox's expression returned to his usual indifference, as if the tip of the iceberg had just melted, and it immediately covered the ice and snow.
Outside the west gate, the sky was already slightly bright, and Ling Hu Jue sat quietly on a stone far from the camp, and to his right was the still dark woods, and the branches of the trees were shaking, like heavy ghost hands, bringing a trace of late autumn coolness. He leaned over and studied the map of the Shuffleboard's camp and the terrain around it.
The camp of the Sand Fox Battalion was not built according to the standard specifications of the ordinary regular army, although it was protected on all sides. However, there were several rows of trenches with sharp logs as obstacles, about three meters apart, to block the charge of the heavy cavalry in front of them. Outside the camp gate, there is a two-meter-high earthen wall, which is lined with arrow stacks and spear piercing holes at intervals. The four corners of the inner layer are used as barracks tents, and in the middle is a large open space for ordinary training and emergency assembly.
Linghu Jue used his fingers to make various attack formations on the map, looking for the best entry point, hoping to achieve the best attack effect with the smallest force. He muttered to himself, "Even if nothing goes wrong, it will take at least two hours for the Fire Phoenix Legion and the Wild Lion Legion to arrive, can we hold out until they arrive?
Thinking about it, thinking about it, Ling Hu Jue turned his eyes to another map, and on that map, it was obvious that there was a valley about eighty miles away from the big camp of the sand fox, which was a side camp of the enemy, stationed a cavalry regiment of about 50,000 men that had just been transferred by the enemy army for less than two months. ---Looking, watching, thinking, thinking, Ling Hu Jue had a new idea in his heart, but no one thought that it was this idea that changed his life.
"Childe. Manss walked over quietly, her pear-white complexion accentuating her beauty, "Charles brought the Thousand Riders with him. β
Ling Hu Jue raised his head, his eyes full of pity and apology, "Mans, you are tired again. β
Manss lowered her eyes, peeking through the gaps in her eyelashes that hadn't yet closed completely, and she saw a face full of concern. In an instant, she was satisfied, she knew that from the day she rebelled against her people, her life was linked to the face in front of her. The sun, the air, and life seem to be secondary to her in the future, and the important thing is that she can be with him. But due to the long-term cultivation of dark true qi, Mansi understood that her temperament could not change much, and she could never be like an ordinary person, and only when she was by his side, she always had a gentleness and shyness that even she could not imagine. Is this all God's arrangement?
Manss didn't dare to think about it anymore, she already felt the slightest tremor in her heart, like a light wind cutting across the water, rippling layers of waves. She could only suppress the ripples in her heart, and asked Linghu Jue softly who had already stood up, "Childe, why didn't I see the Demon Moon?"
Mans, you're really careful. Linghu Jue praised in his heart. From the day he arrived at Dinghai, Moyue was ordered by him to go to a special place and carry out a special order. No one knew about this matter, but Linghu Jue didn't want to hide it from Mans, he smiled softly, "Demon Moon, it went before us. With that, he walked towards the camp, and before he could forget it, he gave Manse a hand.
The interrogation of the commander did not provide any valuable clues to Ling Hujue: Geng Na had come to the customs office alone yesterday morning, and as soon as he arrived, he muttered to Major General Birmingham, the guard of Shanhaiguan, for a long time, and in the afternoon, Major General Birmingham rushed back to Tiger Pass.
"Is there any special move in Gengna, or what do you order you to do?" stared at the thousand cavalry commander who was in a cold sweat and trembling in front of him, and said calmly and almost majestically.
"No--no-that--" Ling Hu's eyes were like two sharp swords, stabbing into the heart of the thousand horsemen, making him start to speak a little incoherently, no wonder, a person who has just woken up drunk, seeing a bright blade on his neck, no one's reaction will be natural.
"Think about ββββββ again. Linghu Jue admonished.
The thousand cavalry touched the corners of his lips with trembling hands, which was his habit, and then looked at Ling Hujue with fearful eyes, and the two of them who were sitting on the side, Reis, Hughes, and others, as if they were racking their brains, and finally suddenly cried out, "Yes-yes-I remember, yesterday I met Francie walking towards the outside of the camp with a letter. I asked him what he was going to give? He said to help General Genner deliver a letter to a place. β
Ling Hujue's eyes lit up, and he asked, "Where are you going?"
"I didn't ask, and he didn't say. Soon back though, this place should be in town. β
"In the city?" Ling Fox said sensitively, and then asked, "Is there anything else?" β
The captain of the thousand horsemen cried with a sad face, and said in an extremely helpless tone, "No, really no." β
Seeing that he couldn't ask anything, Linghu Jue waved his hand at the soldiers with knives on both sides and took him out. Seeing that the thousand cavalry commander was taken out, Xiusi, who was sitting on the side, couldn't wait to say, "Boss, the team has been assembled for a long time, can we get out?"
The expression on Ling Fox's face became cold, he already had a premonition that Gengna's arrival was just the beginning of a certain plan, but whether he was the prey of this plan or not, he didn't know for the time being. Pointing to the map on the desk in front of him, Ling Hu Jue beckoned Reis and Xius to come over, and said, "You lead the troops, and in two days, rush here to wait for me." After speaking, he pointed to the corner of the map, which was a hill less than 2o miles from the Sand Fox camp that did not even have a name.
"Wait for you, General Linghu, where are you going?" asked Reis sensitively.
"I'm going. Ling Hujue's finger moved a little more to the map, unusually hard, full of confidence.
Lacey immediately had no words, this place had to go, and no one could go except Ling Hujue, because he had a scorching flame.
"So it was decided, and you went out at once. "Ling Hu's words are irresistible. "Yes. Reis and Hughes replied with the same solemnity and confidence.
At night, the dawn began to be revealed.
