Chapter 300: Blur
Standing quietly in the corridor of the city wall of Zhu'an City, looking at the tall city wall in front of him, Ye Guan had an extremely bad feeling in his heart. This Zhu'an City is afraid that it is an empty city.
But from the analysis of the clues seen before, in the previous Zhu'an City, it must have been prepared to deal with the attack of the East Palace. Not to mention anything else, just with the walls of Zhu'an City and the countless materials on the city's head, it is definitely not an easy task for Dongwangfu to take Zhu'an City. But the strange thing is that now there is no one on the wall of Zhu'an City, as if everyone has suddenly disappeared.
The weapons used by the sergeants were still on the city walls, but the people were gone.
Ye Guan has experienced a hundred battles, and he has personally fought no less than a hundred siege battles, and the cities occupied by the army are even countless, but he has never seen such a situation once. The sergeant at the head of Zhu'an City seemed to leave calmly, without taking anything with him. The order seemed to have been given suddenly, and all the sergeants did not question it, and carried it out immediately.
Yesterday, there was a battle outside, and the enemy sergeant who was responsible for defending the wooden wall behind him retreated, and the direction of the retreat was this Zhu'an City, but now, Zhu'an City was empty.
Last night, the scout reported that when I looked at the head of Zhu'an City, I couldn't see a single figure except for the flag at the head of the city. Didn't the team of enclave sergeants that appeared before enter this Zhu'an City?
Ye Guan frowned, walked forward slowly, and went straight to the city gate.
Since the city wall is no longer guarded, then there is no point in the trebuchet he ordered before, it is better to open the city gate at this moment, welcome all the soldiers into the city, and occupy Zhu'an City immediately.
Before walking to the city gate, Ye glanced at the bolt above the city gate, and then looked aside, two improvised devices came into view. Because the gate was too high, it was impossible to open and close the gate directly, so this simple device was installed, with a thick rope attached to the roller and a mechanism linked to the rope end. Open the device and pull the mechanism open, and the gate will be opened.
Ye Guan walked to the device, took a breath, put his hands on the device, and was about to exert force, but suddenly felt that something was not quite right.
Ye Guan immediately stopped the movement in his hand, frowned, and carefully felt the movement around him, but suddenly found that this feeling was very familiar, and after thinking about it carefully, he found that this feeling that enveloped his whole body had been experienced before. This is clearly an extremely strong feeling of the power of nature, Ye Guan had this feeling in Tianqing City before, and Wufeng City after the formation was arranged in the back, he also had this feeling.
The familiar feeling came to his heart, making Ye Guan's heart condense.
The same convergence formation appeared in three different places, and these three places were all cities, and in the same way, the concentration of natural power gathered by the aggregation formation was also similar.
Carefully feel the touch of the strong power of nature to moisturize the skin, and a tingling sensation comes, indescribably comfortable.
Ye Guan frowned, and his hand to open the city gate also stopped.
This fact is too weird, Ye Guan suddenly felt that he understood something in the dark, and it felt as if it was right in front of him, and he could reach it.
After a little thought in his heart, Ye Guan still stretched out his hands and opened the device in front of him.
There was a clicking sound, and the gate of Zhu'an City slowly opened. Ye Guan walked straight out of the city gate, his body shook, and went straight to the direction where he had dismounted before.
The city gate was opened, and several sergeants who were waiting for Ye Guan in the distance were shocked, and immediately two of them rode back and went straight to the direction of the military camp to report, and the remaining few people stayed in place, waiting for Ye Guan to return.
Ye Guan's speed was extremely fast, and the distance of several miles came in a blink of an eye, and when he came to the place where he dismounted before, he saw several sergeants looking in the direction of the city gate, and they were dumbfounded. Ye Guan was confused in his heart and turned back again, and the situation he saw when he looked back this time really frightened Ye Guan.
On the city wall that had been empty before, it was now full of enemy sergeants, and Huo Huo's long knife reflected a dazzling light under the sunlight. The city gate, which had just been clearly opened by himself, was closed again at this moment, and the deafening sound of drums was heard, stirring all around.
Ye Guan was shocked in his heart, and then said to several sergeants: "Go back immediately and tell the four generals not to act rashly!"
After giving the order, Ye Guan's figure shook again and went straight to the direction of the city gate.
"Your Excellency the Commander-in-Chief!" a sergeant was immediately shocked when he saw Ye Guan going straight to the city gate, but before his words fell, Ye Guan's figure had turned into a green light and ran out of a very long distance. The sergeant then frowned, turned his horse's head, and said loudly, "Go back to the camp!"
A few horses left in the dust and went straight to the barracks. A few people have the intention of following Ye Guan to step forward, but Ye Guan has ordered before, and even if a few people ride horses, they can't catch up with Ye Guan's footsteps at all, if Ye Guan really goes to the city gate, with his strange body method, the bow and crossbow will not hurt him in the slightest, if he goes a few people, it will become a burden to Ye Guan.
Several sergeants immediately returned to the camp and reported what they had seen to the commander, and the four generals soon got the news.
Immediately, the entire army of Dongwangfu entered a state of combat readiness, and the sergeants preparing for the trebuchet moved faster.
Speaking of Ye Guan, his figure moved forward quickly, and after a short time, he arrived near the city wall, looked up, but saw that above the city, the figure was shaking, and the sound of drums was endless, but Ye Guan stood in place, but he didn't see any enemy probe, and he didn't encounter any attack.
As soon as his mind moved, Ye Guan took a few steps forward again, and at the same time invoked the fighting qi in his body, ready to use his body to dodge the bow and crossbow at any time.
Ye Guan slowly walked forward, his eyes did not leave the city for a moment, but he took a few steps forward, and he had already entered the range of the enemy, but as if no one had seen him, no arrow feathers were shooting at Ye Guan, and on the city wall, he only saw the figure shaking, but he did not see anyone looking down.
Seeing such a situation, Ye Guan's heart moved, and the fighting spirit of the invocation immediately exploded, turning into a green mang, and went straight to the city gate.
The speed was extremely fast, and when Ye Guan was about to get to the city gate, something strange happened.
The originally closed gate was suddenly completely opened, and this action was only in a moment, Ye Guan only felt a flower in front of him, and the city gate was wide open.
Such a change made Ye Guan frightened in his heart, and immediately stopped, and the fighting qi of his whole body surged out, protecting his body, and at the same time, a ball of cyan fighting qi quickly formed a miniature hurricane in his right palm, ready to be activated at any time.
The gates of the city were wide open, and they were empty.
The earth-shattering drumming sound that echoed in my ears suddenly disappeared. Ye Guan was stunned on the spot so suddenly, and there was such a big contrast before and after, so he didn't figure out what was going on for a while.
Looking up, he saw that above the city at this moment, there was no crowd, and then he looked at the city gate, and at this moment Ye Guan could even see the situation in the city through the road. The two rows of spears were still neatly placed in the corridor, and everything was exactly the same as what he had seen before.
After being stunned for a while, Ye Guan suddenly understood something, withdrew the spell and body protection fighting qi in his hand, his figure shook, and he dodged and entered the city.
When I went up to the watchtower, the situation in front of me was the same as what I had seen before, and when I came to the city wall again, it was still empty.
At this moment, Ye Guan suddenly understood that the crowd of people on the city wall he suddenly saw outside the city, as well as the sound of drums that shook the sky, were all illusions.
Thinking of this, Ye Guan couldn't help but be horrified.
Dreamland......
He had never seen anything like it before. I saw that there was no one before, and when I entered, I saw that there was no one, but when I opened the door and came out to look again, I saw another scene. Not only the scene, but also the earth-shattering sound of drums, what is going on?
Ye Guan's thoughts were running rapidly, and he only felt a splitting headache. Looking at the empty city wall in front of him, from the top of the city wall, he could even vaguely see his own camp in the distance.
"What kind of illusion is this!Damn! Damn the illusion formation!" Ye Guan opened his mouth and scolded angrily, he was angry in his heart.
In the past few days, Ye Guan has been choked by the illusion formation. And the illusion I saw this time actually shrouded the entire Zhu'an City.
No longer passing through the city gate, Ye Guan's figure moved, jumped straight down from the city wall, looked back at the city, and slowly retreated.
Although he was annoyed in his heart, but Qingming was still there, Ye Guan wanted to use this way to calculate the scope of this formation, and what position he saw, and only then did a figure appear on the city wall.
Five zhang, ten zhang, fifteen zhang...... Until fifty zhang, Ye Guan slowly moved back, and the city was still quiet, until Ye Guan retreated slowly and walked back to the place where he had dismounted before, the city was already quiet, the gate was open, and there was no vision to hear the sound of drums.
After seeing the traces of horses' hooves on the ground, Ye Guan suddenly had doubts in his heart, his brows furrowed, he couldn't figure out what was happening in front of him, he said it was an illusion, but it was not like an illusion, it was virtual and real, such a situation had never been seen before, and he had never even thought about it.
Surprised in his heart, Ye Guan turned his head to look in the direction of the camp, and at the moment when he turned his head, there was a sudden sound of drums in Zhu'an City behind him, and then he turned around, but saw the flag on the head of the city, the figure was crowded, and the originally wide open city gate was closed again, and the entire Zhu'an City was full of solemnity.
Seeing this situation, Ye Guan only felt that his scalp was numb, and a strong sense of incongruity appeared, which made him extremely uncomfortable.
"Damn!" Ye Guan frowned, closed his eyes tightly, exhaled a long breath, turned around and left, and walked straight in the direction of the camp. As we got closer to the camp, the sound of drums faded away, and it sounded like it was coming from within Zhu'an Castle, without any doubt. But Ye Guan knew in his heart that he personally climbed the first two times of Zhu'an City, and Zhu'an City was clearly an empty city.
Back in the camp, Ye Guan looked angry, and went straight back to his camp tent, sitting on the couch, his brows furrowed.
The four generals immediately arrived at Ye Guan's camp, and when they saw Ye Guan's angry face, none of them dared to ask immediately, so they all stood quietly aside, waiting for Ye Guan to speak.
After a long time, Ye Guan felt that the nameless fire in his heart had dissipated a lot, and then he opened his eyes and looked at the four generals in front of him, and the expressions on his faces returned to normal, and his face was pleasant.
It's just that he has been questioning in his heart, what is the situation in this Zhu'an City, it is said to be an illusion, but it is not like an illusion.
"Commander Ye...... Zhu'an Cheng ......" Ding Jiang clenched his fists with both hands and stepped forward, wanting to ask something, but he hesitated. He wanted to ask about the situation in Zhu'ancheng, but when the words came to his lips, he couldn't ask.
The other three generals also stopped talking, with some expectation in their eyes, and looked at Ye Guan.
"Order, stop the manufacture of trebuchets, and select two hundred elites, who need to be of the rank of monk or above, to follow me into the city. Ye Guan glanced at the four generals in front of him and ordered softly.
Ye Guan ordered, and the four generals were immediately stunned on the spot, looking at Ye Guan in confusion. Not only had the order been given before, asking the sergeants to build trebuchets with all their might, preparing to attack the city, but now they had to order the construction to be stopped, so that the order could be changed overnight, which would directly affect the morale of the troops.
"Commander-in-Chief......
"I've been to Zhu'an City, it's an empty city, and the well-guarded appearance of Zhu'an City I see now is clearly just illusion. Ye Guan interrupted Ding Jiang's words, and his tone was unquestionable.
The four generals, their pupils constricted, and they couldn't believe what Ye Guan said.
