Chapter 474: Persecution
Sitting in the makeshift tent, Huang Yuanwu felt that his thinking had frozen.
The scout came with news again, and the mountain stream on the other side was confirmed, and a formation of the same specification was found, and a used trebuchet was also in the mountain stream.
After this sneak attack, Dongwangfu lost more than 200 people and completely annihilated the enemy, 1,700 people.
In this sneak attack, the enemy army was completely desperately attacking, without any discipline, but still broke through the defense line of the Dongwangfu camp and entered the camp.
Huang Yuanwu had personally dealt with these enemies, and he could clearly feel that the combat effectiveness of these enemies was obviously stronger than before.
If they were organized and had an absolute goal, these 1,700 people alone would be able to cause more than 200 casualties when they entered the camp.
When I went to check it myself, there were obviously energy fluctuations in that formation, and if it continued to teleport, the enemy troops that might be teleported from time to time would be only 1,700 people.
He didn't know what kind of opponent he was facing, but Huang Yuanwu could feel that this attack should be the same group of people as the last attack on the camp and the attack he had begun to encounter near the pass.
In fact, this is exactly the case, and the same marks were found on the enemy's body this time, as they were seen last time.
These people are not afraid of death, and the meaning of their existence is to warn themselves. From the beginning to the present, because of this warning, they dispatched tens of thousands of sergeants, and every time they fought, the other side was completely annihilated, and when facing the Dongwangfu army, which was several times their own and had superior combat power, they did not have the slightest timidity and faced death.
The same thing happened several times, so that Huang Yuanwu had to re-examine the current situation.
He was not afraid to face any enemy, but in the face of such an enemy who could not be touched and had subordinates who were not afraid of death, Huang Yuanwu still felt a trace of worry from the bottom of his heart.
He remembered Huang Zhengchu's words again, and his expression and tone, which were almost pleading, were full of a thick and strange atmosphere.
"Xu Xiuping......" Huang Yuanwu read out the name softly, Shi Uncle Xu Xiuping, he suddenly appeared and gave himself a warning, he just left, the enemy's sneak attack began, if there is no connection in this, Huang Yuanwu will not believe it.
"Pray for heaven...... What the hell is going on......" frowned, Huang Yuanwu felt that the suspicion in front of him was even thicker, and Xu Xiuping's sudden appearance added a touch of weirdness to this thick fog.
However, even after several attacks, Huang Yuanwu still decided not to retreat. It was impossible for him to give up all the preparations because of a few inexplicable attacks, because he knew very well that if he withdrew his troops now, the Dongwang Mansion would face only a dead end. Moreover, for all the soldiers, retreating at this moment is to lose the determination to win, which is the foundation of the East Wangfu army, once the order to retreat, the indomitable morale of the East Wangfu army will no longer exist.
Sitting still is definitely not Huang Yuanwu's way of doing things, he thought for a while, picked up his pen, wrote two letters, and sent scouts to send them separately.
Two letters, respectively addressed to Emperor Zhengchu of the Northern Prince, and Yang Qin, who now occupies the imperial capital. Since you can't figure out what happened, let the enemy tell him.
After doing this, it was already daylight, and Huang Yuanwu ordered the whole camp to be repaired, all the camps were put into combat readiness, and at the same time, patrols in the surrounding areas were strengthened, and the number of secret posts was doubled. Hidden enemies have the ability to depict and refine large teleportation arrays, which must be guarded against.
In the evening, Huang Yuanwu was closing his eyes in the big tent to recuperate, and the herald sent a letter from Pingjin City.
The letter was written by Yu Sheng, and in it he explained in detail what happened in Pingjincheng. It focused on Huang Yuchen, as well as about Xu Xiuping's sudden appearance and the fact that he might have met a few people at this moment. In the end, Yu Sheng asked in the letter whether to let Huang Yuchen go. And it shows that Liu Yuan has arrived in Pingjin City and is waiting to go to the imperial capital for reinforcements.
Huang Yuanwu put the letters of the rest of his life on the bookcase, and tapped on the letters with one hand, but his mind kept running.
According to Yu Sheng, things seem to be strung together.
Against Huang Yuchen's forces, it was confirmed that there was a down-and-out sect chasing the Sun Sect, this sect seemed to have been destroyed under the pursuit of the soldiers of the East Palace, but in fact, it was resurrected, and the two attacks on Huang Yuchen were led by the people of this sect, and his own uncle, Xu Xiuping, obviously knew the inside story. Behind the Sun Chasing Sect, it is now speculated that it may be the Red Rainbow Sect, but because there is no substantial evidence, although there is the words of the assassin Zuoxin, it cannot be absolutely certain.
The Red Rainbow Sect is a behemoth in the sect realm, with many cultivators and powerhouses, if they are really interested in Huang Yuchen, they can send higher-level powerhouses to come, just relying on Xiao Yibo and the rest of his life, they are not the opponents of these top masters at all. But they didn't do this, but continued to use the Sun-Chasing Sect and a few young disciples in the Sun-Chasing Sect, which was a bit intriguing.
Now thinking back to Xu Xiuping's sudden appearance and disappearance, and thinking of the first time he saw this person, Huang Yuanwu's mind probably had a direction.
Uncle Xu Xiuping must be inseparable from this matter, and there must be some secrets between him and the Sun Chasing Sect and even the Red Rainbow Sect that he doesn't know. And he suddenly took his disciples to take refuge in the East Palace, which was definitely not as simple as he said.
Thinking of this, Huang Yuanwu couldn't help but show a sneer. Since he took over the Dongwang Mansion, many things have followed, making him feel a little overwhelmed, and all kinds of weird things have emerged one after another, so I want to keep targeting the Dongwang Mansion. Now the performance of this sudden appearance of the master Xu Xiuping also disappointed Huang Yuanwu.
Although he didn't know why these forces were staring at Dongwang Mansion and Huang Yuchen, one thing was absolutely certain. Without enough interest temptation, it is impossible to attract so many forces to stare at the East Palace, and now the situation, the East Palace seems to be embattled, but in fact, these forces have invisibly raised the status of the East Palace.
Huang Yuanwu stroked his beard lightly, and the smile on his face became even stronger.
The more they stared at the East Palace, the more important the East Palace. Whether it is in the aspect of praying for the heavenly emperor capital, or in the incident against Huang Yuchen, one or two can be seen.
No matter who the enemy was, they had never really made a move against the East Palace, whether it was the Tianqing City in the enclave, the North Palace, or the current Red Rainbow Sect, what they did against the East Mansion was to force themselves to do something.
It is still the case now, they asked Huang Zhengchu to beg him to withdraw his troops, and Xu Xiuping persuaded him to withdraw his troops, and they did not hesitate to use the teleportation array to dispatch the dead soldiers to make themselves feel that the other party's forces were extremely strong, and their purpose was only one. Let the East Wangfu withdraw from the chessboard of the current imperial capital and be a spectator.
Moreover, Huang Yuanwu faintly felt that now in Pingjin City, the sneak attack on Huang Yuchen was the same. They used Huang Yuchen's identity to attack several times, the purpose was to make themselves feel that the Dongwang Mansion was now embattled, and it was time to make a decision. The purpose of this is to make this final decision.
If nothing else, the same thing will happen several more times in the coming days, and the scale will be bigger and bigger each time. But Huang Yuanwu had a feeling in his heart that these people, no matter what their purpose was, they didn't want the East Wangfu to disappear. In other words, the East Prince's Mansion still has the value of existence, and they don't want the East Prince's Mansion to fall now, so although they may have the ability to destroy the East Prince's Mansion, they have always focused on sneak attacks, using this method to attack their own hearts.
"That's a good idea. Huang Yuanwu glanced at the letter that came from Yu Sheng's life again, and the measurement of these things in his heart had already had a result.
Immediately picked up the pen, Huang Yuanwu wrote a reply to the rest of his life.
"Gather the troops, strengthen the patrol defense, the enemy will move soon. Yuchen stayed in Pingjin City, and he was not allowed to leave the city until the matter was over. Liu Yuan immediately went to the imperial capital. ”
The letter is very short, but it illustrates the attitude of Huang Yuanwu now. The matter of the imperial capital is definitely not something that can be solved overnight, and the meaning of letting the rest of his life gather his troops is also very obvious, and the enemy will definitely think of other ways to harass the Dongwang Mansion, forcing himself to finally issue an order to withdraw his troops, gather his troops, and strengthen the defense of Pingjin City, which is conducive to dealing with any unexpected incidents.
After passing the letter, Huang Yuanwu sighed softly.
He has always had a feeling of being kept in the dark, his father left too suddenly, and he thought that there were many things that he hadn't explained to himself. He followed his father in battle, and he knew that his father had many secrets, but he never asked, and his father himself never mentioned them.
If you want to say that you know the secrets of the Eastern Palace, it may only be the relationship between Huang Yuchen and the Mixed Yuan Array. However, for now, this hybrid array is simply a chicken rib, and the formation is now dim, without energy fluctuations, and it looks no different from an ordinary ravine. But apart from the Mixed Yuan Array, Huang Yuanwu really couldn't think of any other things in the Eastern Palace, which were worth staring at by so many forces.
He has done what he can do, and he has thought of everything he can think of, and the rest is to unfold his own plan and fight back with his own means.
It doesn't matter if you don't know the enemy's purpose, Huang Yuanwu knows that the current Dongwang Mansion has outstanding combat power and occupies an absolute dominant position in the affairs of the imperial capital, whether it is Huang Zhengchu or Yang Qin, they now have to adjust their strategies according to their own intentions, which is also one of the reasons why they want to force themselves to leave.
Letters have been sent from both sides, and all that remains is to prepare for this meeting.
In any case, this time, we must find a way to figure out the whole story. What was Huang Zhengchu afraid of, and Yang Qin, in the end, had and relied on, and was able to stay in the imperial capital safely.
