Chapter 368: The Battle of Zhu'an

Ye Guan galloped his horse and went straight to the direction of Zongqiu Mountain, where Zhu'an City is located.

Acting in a play with Huang Yongning, he knew that he couldn't hide it from Tianqing City for a long time, and it wouldn't take much effort for them to learn whether this matter was true or not, but they didn't know whether Tianqing City's energy was focused on the movement of Dongwangfu, if not, then Ye Guan still had a few days.

Shen Tuyan's Qiuchang City has been like a nail in the hinterland of Zongqiu Mountain, the last time Ye Guan led the team to Zongqiu Mountain, only a city in Zhu'an, or an empty city, the people in the city were slaughtered by the mysterious robed people, and no one survived.

It was also after experiencing a few unbelievable things in Zongqiu Mountain, coupled with the mysterious death of hundreds of thousands of people in Zhu'an City, that Ye Guan's heart was in turmoil, and he hastily left a few words, and then rode his horse to Wufeng City, and at that time he had the intention of letting all the members of the Dongwang Mansion retreat.

Whether it is to conquer the city or rule the city, this is the business of the common people and ordinary soldiers, but it is inevitable that it is mixed with the power of Tianqing City. Originally, Ye Guan didn't think too much, Tianqing City has always had a good reputation in the outside world, it is a holy place for monks to cultivate, and many idle monks will try their best to enter Tianqing City to cultivate, because there is abundant natural power there, and before that, there was no unusual movement in Tianqing City.

Many additional conditions were added together, which made Ye Guan let go of his vigilance against Tianqing City, he originally thought that a transcendent existence like Tianqing City would not interfere too much in worldly affairs, and he took Huang Yuchen and the rest of his life to Tianqing City to meet Tian Shun, but in fact, he just worshiped the mountain gate, he never thought that Tianqing City would interfere too much in worldly affairs.

But after the events of Zhu'an City and this trip to Tianqing City, Ye Guan's thoughts have completely changed, and his previous feelings about Tian Shun, the lord of Tianqing City, have also completely changed.

Before, Ye Guan thought that there was also a power struggle within Tianqing City, and there was something unspeakable about this Tian Shun, and he wanted to reassure the Dongwang Mansion that in the process of occupying the enclave, at least Tian Shun would secretly help. But it turns out that Tian Shun's words at the beginning were just to stabilize the Dongwang Mansion and let the high-level officials of the Dongwang Mansion send the soldiers into the enclave and conquer the city.

And one of the purposes behind everything is probably to rely on the experience of the Eastern Prince's Mansion in governing the city and region, so that the people of the enclave can live and work in peace and contentment, and make it easier for the weird black-robed man in Tianqing City to harvest his life.

This may be one of the purposes, and the other purposes of Tianqing City, Ye Guan still can't figure it out, he just knows that he must complete all the things in the enclave in the fastest time, and then go back immediately with the sergeant, the water in the enclave is too deep, and it is not something that the ordinary sergeants of the East Wangfu can compete with.

Changhui City is about a day's journey from Zongqiu Shanzhu'an City, Ye Guan rode on a horse and galloped quickly, without stopping, and the scenery on the left and right swept backwards quickly.

From the hazy search in the early morning, until the scorching sun was in the sky, Ye Guan found a stream to let the war horse rest, and he leaned against a tree, sitting in the shade, his mind full of thoughts, thinking about what had happened recently.

Many things can't be explained, what is the big array on Zongqiu Mountain, and whether the caves and tombs I saw in the illusion are real. The strange thing that happened in Zhu'an City, the mysterious black-robed man, in the end

What kind of magic is used, and it can have such magical powers.

was thinking about it, when he suddenly heard the sound of a fast horse galloping on the official road behind him, Ye Guan's heart moved, and he immediately got up, stood on the side of the official road, and looked into the distance.

I saw that on the official road, a war horse galloped rapidly, and immediately a military academy appeared, which seemed to be the herald of the East Palace.

Seeing the herald, Ye Guan's heart tightened, and he immediately beckoned to the galloping fast horse, and the sergeant on the horse obviously didn't expect a person to suddenly appear on the side of the road, and immediately went to pull the reins.

The horse that was originally galloping was suddenly pulled the reins, and with a sudden stop, the horse lost its balance, the horse's hooves churned, and the strong forward inertia made the war horse and the sergeant on horseback rush forward, and they were about to fall to the ground.

As soon as Ye Guan's figure moved, the pale cyan aura instantly enveloped his whole body, and he rushed straight towards the war horse, and in just one moment, the pale cyan fighting qi directly wrapped the war horse and the sergeant. The powerful forward momentum of the war horse was wrapped in this soft energy, and it floated strangely in the air for a few breaths, and then it landed steadily, and the sergeant on the war horse held the horse's neck with both hands, his eyes were closed, and in his opinion, such a quick stop, immortal and seriously injured.

After a few breaths, he found that nothing had happened, so he opened his eyes and immediately saw Ye Guan standing in front of the horse with a calm face.

The sergeant didn't think about it, he immediately turned over and dismounted, knelt on one knee, and said, "I've seen Commander Ye." ”

Almost all the heralds in the army knew Ye Guan before, although it was the first time to follow Ye Guan to fight, but Ye Guan's love for soldiers like a son has been deeply rooted in the body and mind, before several teams of scouts disappeared in the vast jungle of Zongqiu Mountain, it was Ye Guan himself who went to explore the way, and finally let his captain Xu Bao find all the scouts who were lost in the illusion, and all the scouts were able to survive.

Ye Guan snorted and said, "Seeing that you are so anxious, but what is the urgent military situation?" Ye Guan stopped this herald, firstly, because the direction he came from was the direction of Zongqiu Mountain, and there were only two areas in the direction where this official road led to a large number of garrisons from the Eastern Wangfu, one was Zhu'an City, and the other was the Black Stone Bridge, that is to say, the news brought by the herald was either from Zhu'an City or from the Emperor Yuanwu of the Eastern Palace. At this moment, he has torn his face with Huang Yongning on the surface, if it is news from Zhu'an City, he must know first, and he must do a full set of acts.

"Leader Hui Ye. The sergeant hurriedly said: "Zhu'an City was attacked, and the sergeants under Qiu Changcheng launched an attack on Zhu'an City, and the battle was in full swing. ”

Ye Guan heard this, his heart moved, Zhu'an City was attacked, then it must be Shen Tuyan's troops, it was really interesting, he didn't go to look for his bad luck, he came to the door by himself, thinking so in his heart, he asked: "How many people?"

"No less than fifty thousand, well equipped. The sergeant returned: "When the subordinates left the city, they had already launched a second attack, all the siege equipment was readily available, General Ding Jiang was directing the defense, and General Kou Long retreated to the military camp outside the city. There were now fifteen battalions of sergeants defending inside the city and five battalions in the barracks outside the city. ”

Ye Guan frowned slightly, quickly considered the information he had obtained, and immediately said to the sergeant: "Give me your war horse, I am about to go back, my war horse is being repaired, wait for it to drink."

After the water is full and the grass is full, you can ride back by yourself, don't go to Wufeng City, we will handle this matter by ourselves. With that, he took a few steps forward, turned over his horse, and without waiting for the sergeant to say anything, he rode his horse and galloped away.

The sergeant saw that Ye Guan had already mounted his horse and galloped away, so he got up, walked to the side of the official road, and saw the war horse grazing, and his heart was a little relieved, so he leaned on a big tree to rest, and the look on his face was very relaxed.

Ye Guan got the news of Zhu'an City, and he didn't stop, he rode on the war horse and galloped quickly, the place where he repaired was not far from Zongqiu Mountain, and he only needed to gallop for two hours to arrive. But after only running forward for half an hour, the war horse under the crotch was obviously physically exhausted, and the speed slowed down, Ye Guan had to dismount, tied the horse to a tree on the side, let it rest on its own, and waited for the sergeant behind to come up, and it would inevitably be discovered. And he ran his fighting spirit, followed the official road, and walked away.

Ye Guan's wind fighting spirit is known for its speed, and it can be run without a shadow in an instant when it runs at full strength, and the speed of long-distance running is not slower than that of a war horse. In addition, now that there is no hidden disease in Ye Guan's body, he gallops with all his strength and is even faster than a war horse. His figure only flashed on the official road, and then disappeared, extremely fast.

The reason why he came out to ride a war horse this time was that a large part of the intention was to let the soldiers of the East Wangfu see him ride away, you know, in the army outside Changhui City, there are not only the soldiers of the East Palace, when Huang Yongning withdrew from Wufeng City, he took all the defenders in Wufeng City away, which inevitably had the eyeliner of Tianqing City.

However, Tianqing City is secretive, and its members' cultivation is unfathomable, and it is unknown what other means they have to listen. Ye Guan did this, but also tried to make things more real, the more channels Tianqing City had to get news, the more it would prove that he and Huang Yongning really tore their faces, which was very important to the plans of the latter two.

The official road is deserted, and there are no pedestrians. This large area is already under the control of the East Wangfu, only the Zongqiu Mountain area is not, so the surrounding cities have almost given up going to the Zongqiu Mountain area, and there are many rumors here, usually it is inaccessible, and the remaining five cities in Qiuchang City are self-sufficient most of the time, and few come out to do business.

The Shen Tu Yan family controlled the five cities of Qiuchang, so they could rank in the top three in the enclave forces, and the special terrain of Qiu Mountain also played a key role.

Moreover, there are many terrifying legends circulating in Zongqiu Mountain, and when the enclave is in turmoil, there are almost no other cities eyeing Qiuchang City, which also makes the Qiuchang City area have been relatively peaceful and well-developed.

Entering the Zongqiu Mountain area, there are two roads before and after, Ye Guan chose the direction of Zhu'an City last time, which is closer to the main cities of the enclave such as Wufeng City and Changhui City, and if there is any problem, it is more convenient to retreat. In the other direction, it leads directly to the Black Rock Bridge, and all the cities on that road are also under the control of the Eastern Palace. If Shen Tuyan sent a sergeant to occupy the city, Sha Shaoyuan, the garrison general on the Blackstone Bridge, would be notified as soon as possible and immediately send troops to clear it.

Shen Tuyan could only drive the soldiers of the Eastern Wangfu out of Zongqiu Mountain, and this time he launched an attack on Zhu'an City, which may also be the purpose.

Ye Guan thought of several possibilities in his heart, and his footsteps did not stop, and in the evening, he entered the vast mountain range of Zongqiu Mountain.
