Chapter 105: Drumming, Marching
Five days later, outside the city of Yanzhou.
Riding on the horse, Xiang Rong looked at the not-so-magnificent city in front of him, and his thoughts were full of thoughts.
He was a little curious, how this disciple left behind by Ruan Shantao was going to deal with him, you must know that he had just led his army across the river bank where it was easiest to set up a defensive line, and also through the mountains and forests where it was easiest to set up ambushes...... From beginning to end, he didn't see any arrangement, as if the resistance of this Yanzhou City did not exist at all.
This is not like the style taught by Ruan Shantao, if it is his old friend, he will definitely rely on the environment to arrange several lines of defense to kill the grassland soldiers under his command as much as possible, and drag them to death in the countryside of Yanzhou as much as possible, and he and the fierce generals he brought will also be focused on by Ruan Shantao himself, and the inscription suppresses.
Under the weakening layer by layer, even if the vanguard army can reach the city, it will be under the city wall, and the last drop of blood will be drained by Ruan Shantao.
If you don't use Da Chu's overlord halberd, this battle will probably be like this, even if Ruan Shantao, who is sitting in Yanzhou, is only holding a bad card in his hand, but Xiang Rong has never doubted the ability of his old friend, and if he doesn't make some external moves, he is afraid that he will really not be able to fight.
But now, there is nothing.
Nothing, nothing along the way, defensive lines, ambushes, shadows, traps...... Nothing. Along the way, not to mention Nan Chen's soldiers, he had never even seen a horse ranger. Even at this moment, he had led his army to the city of Yanzhou, but he still did not see any traces of the presence of guards on the city wall.
The huge Yanzhou City seems to have become an empty city at this moment.
This is not like Ruan Shantao's style, but Xiang Rong has already guessed the other party's thoughts.
"Want to scare me?"
Xiang Rong sneered.
Indeed, the most frightening thing is the unknown, because no one knows what kind of danger is hidden here - if a new general comes, I am afraid that at this moment I am afraid that I will really retreat and set up camp, after all, not everyone is willing to risk their lives to face the fear of the unknown.
But Xiang Rong is not afraid of these.
As the last remnant of the Chu royal family, Xiang Rong was originally a bold character. When he was still young, he dared to go incognito, went to Jiankang, the capital of the Southern Chen Imperial Court, and even mixed into Taixue as a student, and after that, he traveled all over the world, and later came to the border of Jibei much earlier than Ruan Shantao came to Yanzhou. After determining that the decline of the Nanchen court had appeared, he went to the Mobei royal court alone, and as a southerner, he won the position of the national teacher of the Mobei by virtue of his ability.
Such a bold person has long put life and death aside, and it is just an empty city, how can he be scared?
What's more, he still has a reason to go to the city.
The overlord halberd lodged in the spine has not drunk blood for a long time, and it has become more and more declining, and a blood sacrifice of sufficient scale must be held to restore some power to the divine soldier - you must know that this divine soldier is even a little hungry, and even Ruan Shantao's broken body after turning into a monster does not want to let go.
That's still not very good, on the one hand, as he said, Ruan Shantao's will is not compatible with the overlord halberd, and he insists on using it just to quench his thirst, and besides, it is an old friend of the past after all, and it is a little too disrespectful to kill someone and take his body.
What's more, compared to Ruan Shantao's remnants, isn't there a better blood sacrifice target in front of him?
"A city of more than 100,000 people...... It's a little smaller, but it should also satisfy the Overlord Halberd a little, right? ”
Thinking like this, Xiang Rong pulled out the soft sword at his waist.
"Listen to me! Town! ”
"Into town!"
"Into town!"
Amid the shouts of the heralds, the sorcerers' earth-shattering war drums, two invisible sword lights smashed the city gate with a bang.
And Xiang Rong also led the 20,000 vanguard army under his command and gradually drove into the city.
Several fierce generals with fierce blades were assigned by Xiang Rong to lead all walks of life to advance steadily, and Xiang Rong, who was the strongest force in the vanguard army, also led the army all the way, advancing on the main road of Yanzhou City - but even if it had entered the city, the vanguard army still did not see any resistance.
They didn't even see any living people.
“…… Well? ”
Xiang Rong's brows suddenly furrowed, he always felt that something was not right.
Even if this Yanzhou City wants to use the empty city tactics to intimidate him, it can't hide the more than 100,000 residents of this Yanzhou City, right?
The battle was so big...... Why didn't he hear anything from him before?
"Or can't you see anyone?"
Xiang Rong asked his subordinates to explore the horses.
And those horse scouts are also puzzled, as the vanguard spies, they have been in the city for a while, but not to mention the southerners ambushing the soldiers, they haven't even seen half of the living people.
In the houses on the side of the road, there is still a lot of food and clothing, and even money left, it is obvious that the people who originally lived in Yanzhou City walked in a hurry, and even called rude.
"It's like being driven away."
That's how the rangers finally answered.
"It seems that these southerners have really abandoned the city and fled."
"Amazing! The national teacher is mighty! ”
"Worthy of being a national teacher!"
"There is a national teacher who comes out, and those weak southerners don't even want the city!"
Hearing such a return from the horse exploration rangers, many grassland generals couldn't help laughing, and they all touted Xiang Rong's exploits - this is indeed worth bragging, you must know that it is the first time for them to fight such a comfortable battle. Without a single soldier, the enemy was scared away, and they had never seen such a scene.
Just by this point, Xiang Rong's status in their hearts has been infinitely raised, and he can even be almost compared to the god-like khan who lives in the depths of Mobei.
But only Xiang Rong couldn't laugh.
"That's not right."
Xiang Rong's brows furrowed tightly.
"No, no...... Wrong! Things have changed! Get the rest of the group back! There must be no division of troops now! ”
"What......"
The generals of the grassland department have not reacted yet, they don't know why this national teacher's temperament has suddenly changed drastically.
Obviously, it is already a big victory now, and the entire Yanzhou City has already fallen into their control, how can it suddenly ......
"Kill !!"
At this time, there was a piercing shout of killing from the distant streets, which was the voice of the steppe armor.
Immediately after, the blazing light of the fire pierced the sky.
"It's you!"
The familiar firelight appeared in front of him again, Xiang Rong's eyes widened angrily, and his body was as angry as an angry lion!
"How dare you!"
"How dare you come in......"
In the streets and alleys in the distance, Du Chengfeng, who was riding on a horse, raised his eyes and looked into the distance, and continued to wave the thick knife in his hand by the way.
The blazing blades of fire swept across, bringing up large stumps of severed arms and falling among the broken ruins.
With just one knife, eleven steppe armor soldiers died on the spot.
But Du Chengfeng on horseback sighed.
"It's not enough......"
Glancing at the big knife in his hand, Du Chengfeng gently slapped the blade to show reassurance.
"Don't worry, there is."
