"Who is coming?" Li Mingyang first asked subconsciously, and then suddenly understood Yan Kuo's intention, and asked directly: "There is an enemy outside the city?"

Yan Kuo nodded: "I found that the thieves are moving closer to this side." ”

Yan Kuo and Li Mingyang did not hide it at all when they spoke, and Deng Lin heard it clearly on the side, but it was precisely because of listening to these words that he felt cold in his hands and feet: "There are thieves here? ”

Seeing Deng Lin's frightened appearance, Li Mingyang naturally knew that he was not afraid of the enemy's attack, but because he was responsible for guarding the stronghold outside Mingyuan City, otherwise he would not have the position of earl, if the stronghold was attacked, he was not afraid, but what he was afraid of was that there were thieves who could cross the stronghold and attack the city directly.

Li Mingyang stopped Deng Lin and said with a smile: "Don't be afraid, since I came here because I know the difficulty of your defense, the stronghold is not in a dangerous place, and there is no way for the thieves to cross the stronghold and attack the city directly." ”

"Yes, yes, the prince sees it. Deng Lin finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then immediately said: "I will go to the stronghold immediately and bring people back to help." ”

"No, just leave it to me. Li Mingyang stopped Deng Lin again, and then didn't explain too much, and walked out directly with Deng Lin.

As soon as he got out of the Viscount's Mansion, Deng Lin saw that there were a large number of monks outside the city entering the city, he just wanted to move but suddenly found that the clothes of those people were very familiar, and after a closer look, he found that it was the people in the famous sharp knife team in their Jinzhu army, and at least two thousand monks from the sharp knife team came here, Deng Lin finally understood why Lord Ghost King was so stable, just with this strong team to guard here, as long as it was not for the four groups of "thieves" wandering around the city to attack the city together, there would definitely not be any danger.

The people in Mingyuan City were not like Deng Lin who had participated in the original Central Plains Campaign, and suddenly saw so many monks entering the city, although they couldn't tell what kind of cultivation these people were for a while, but when they saw that there were at least hundreds of these people who seemed to be a little stronger than their Earl, they all became very confident. In fact, even if it was Deng Lin, if it weren't for the fact that he was Li Hong's descendant, he would have wanted to join the Sharp Knife team.

When all the monks of the Sharp Knife Clans entered the city, Deng Lin suddenly realized that just outside the city wall they were guarding, there seemed to be a magic circle.

"Lord Wang, where?" Deng Lin didn't know what the meaning of that magic array was, and not only asked suspiciously.

"Oh, there's a little bit of a killer hidden there, don't worry. Li Mingyang explained, in that magic circle, he naturally summoned an army of 10,000 true ghosts, of course, although it was less than 10,000 now, it still had a lot of numbers.

Thinking that Li Mingyang came with a sharp knife team, not a large army of monks from the Jinzhu Army, and thinking of a news he received just a few days ago, although Deng Lin tried his best to be patient, he couldn't help but ask: "Lord Wang, three days ago, we received some rumors here, it seems that the thieves on the side of the Liancheng defense line have been eliminated, and it seems that they have all been uprooted overnight, which of our adults did it." ”

The so-called Liancheng defense line is the original border between Shu County and Pingyuan County, because the border is very large, so a long border defense line was directly established on the border, and now Shu County is gone, Shu County has become Shu Road, but the pressure on the border line is still huge. However, Deng Lin learned the news of the total annihilation of the thieves on the Liancheng defense line from some merchants who came to do business a few days ago, although he was very excited, but he didn't dare to confirm it when he thought that there was no official news from the Heavenly Men County.

Li Mingyang was very surprised that Deng Lin could receive this news, but he didn't hide it, and said directly: "It was me and the two Yan adults who did it, after all, the thieves on the border are still the most tricky outside the Shu Dao, and we first dealt with the situation there before coming here." ”

Although he had been mentally prepared, Deng Lin still secretly smacked his tongue after hearing Li Mingyang's answer. Everyone knows that the so-called thieves are just some tacit names, so the thieves disguised by the regular army are actually the most tricky, their combat power is naturally much more outstanding than the thieves, but because of the name of the thieves, they can naturally use unscrupulous junior sister means, and the most headache is that they do not have a clear base, after all, they secretly have the support of the forces behind them, and naturally there is no need to build a mountain. Therefore, the biggest difficulty in fighting these thieves is that it is difficult to find their foothold and then wipe them out.

However, in the news received, the thieves outside the defense line of Shudao Liancheng were all wiped out, and the entire 50,000 so-called thieves were killed at least 40,000, and the whereabouts of the remaining monks were also a mystery, but everyone knew that there must be a lot of luck.

Because these were all news from some businessmen before, although Deng Lin subconsciously wanted to believe it, but after all, he couldn't verify it, but now that he thought that the news was true, Deng Lin could only sigh at the mysterious and unpredictable methods of the Ghost King, as for how he did it, Deng Lin knew that even if he asked, it would definitely be in vain.

Just when Deng Lin was thinking about these things, he suddenly heard the exclamation of some monks around him, there are not too many monks in Mingyuan City, after all, there are not many monks in many cities in Tianren County now, but at this time, his subordinates are so unbearable to exclaim there, which naturally makes Deng Lin very unhappy. But before he could reprimand those people, he was stunned on the city wall.

On the plain outside the city, a large number of monks had already begun to appear, and Deng Lin was naturally a veteran of a hundred battles, and he could tell at a glance that the number of monks coming from a distance must be extremely large. Sure enough, after looking at it carefully for a while, he couldn't help but be stunned: "How come, how can there be so many?"

Now he didn't blame his subordinates for panicking, now the number of enemies coming from a distance was at least about 20,000, and it was even obvious that the number of enemy troops was still increasing, how could they not panic when they saw such a situation. There are already a lot of thieves here, but no matter what, those thieves have only been sporadically harassing the mining of the spirit stone veins here. But they didn't expect that they would attack the city, and they were not going to attack the stronghold, but to attack Mingyuan City.

Seeing this situation, Deng Lin immediately glanced at Li Mingyang again, and said secretly in his heart: "Could it be that Lord Ghost King is really an immortal, how could he guess that these 'thieves' would make a big move, and the talents of the Sharp Knife Clan's team had just entered the city, and a large number of enemy troops came?"

The expression on Li Mingyang's face was very strict, and Li Mingyang was somewhat surprised to see that the number of enemy troops had reached 30,000.

He was not surprised that these thieves would jump over the wall in a hurry, he was the first to rush to Pingyuan County with the sharp knife team, and after defeating the four gangs of thieves sent by Pingyuan County one by one, I believe that in addition to the King of Pingyuan County will be shocked, the King of Lanhai County will definitely be knocked on the mountain and shake the tiger. After all, what their thief tactics are most afraid of is Li Mingyang's elite tactics, and the terrifying thing about the Sharp Knife Clan is that no matter how many of your outpost monks there are, they will definitely not be able to fully grasp the movements of the Sharp Knife Clan, and they may even be wiped out before they can secretly transfer away after discovering the people of the Sharp Knife Clan.

The thieves sent by the Plains King were all uprooted, especially when they were broken one by one, which naturally gave the Lanhai County King the idea of wanting to change his tactics, and now it seems that they no longer plan to disperse, but are ready to start a group battle, anyway, these thieves claim to be united, and it has nothing to do with him Lanhai County King.

Just thinking that they had already united with so many so-called thieves without any scruples, and even directly crossed the stronghold to attack Mingyuan City, Li Mingyang's anger suddenly increased. If you don't unite together, just a gang of thieves to harass Li Mingyang, you won't get angry, after all, Guo Yunshan also said that the confrontation between the big forces and the big forces is so entangled, and there may never be any chance of a decisive battle, but the small actions in the dark must be constant.

But small actions can be tolerated, but now these people have gathered 30,000 troops to attack Mingyuan City, which is not just a small action. Especially when they chose to attack Mingyuan City instead of attacking the stronghold, the meaning was even different.

If it's just an attack on a stronghold, it's not intolerable, the stronghold is meant to fight for each other, and it's hard to say that it's a killing field in the first place, just to see who can withstand attrition. But the other party came directly to attack Mingyuan City, which means that they have begun to invade, even if they don't want to admit it, they are under the guise of thieves, but the fact that 30,000 monks have invaded is here, and Li Mingyang is too lazy to play with them such a means of thinking of a snake.

With 30,000 monks, it is definitely easy to conquer Mingyuan City, and once Mingyuan City is broken, with the current distribution of troops in Tianren County, it will be impossible to stop the advance of these monks in a short period of time. If he hadn't come here in advance, but had rushed to support after getting the news that Mingyuan City had been destroyed, by then maybe these so-called gangs of thieves had already broken several cities in a row, and then left with a swagger.

If this is really the case, not to mention how much loss the Celestial County will bear, the most important thing is that the rumor of the emptiness of the troops in the Celestial County has been completely confirmed. In this way, it is very likely to attract other Central Plains bigwigs who have been eyeing each other to make a move, and the sudden rise of Changyun County under the King of Shu caused so much turmoil, not to mention that now he has completely unified Tianren County.

Thinking of this, Li Mingyang suddenly gritted his teeth and said, "It seems that you are planning to tear your face." ”
