Chapter 178: Catching Turtles in the Urn [Fifth Update]

Huang Yuchen received Yu Sheng's secret order, handed the horse to the sergeant next to him, smiled and nodded lightly at Yu Sheng.

The order given to him by Yu Sheng was very simple, climb the mountain range next to him, arrange the formation, and wait for the opportunity to move.

The main purpose of their trip was to pass through the city, not to capture it, and if the city was too large to be easily passed, Huang Yuchen would use the fire array to launch a fire, descend the mountain, and attack the city directly. At the same time, Yu Sheng sent an army to attack and kill head-on, making the enemy unstoppable, and finally broke through the city gate and opened the road to Wufeng City.

This battle can only be quickly resolved, there are still 300 miles of official roads behind, and it is unknown how many ambushes there are on the main road, but there are still two cities that block the road.

The terrain of the enclave is special, with many mountains, and these cities are basically built in mountains or mountain streams, guarding the main transportation routes, which are unimpeded in peacetime, but can be used as barriers in case of war.

The city is usually separated by mountains, and between the city in front of you and the city behind it, there are endless mountains, and there are few plains. This undoubtedly weakened the combat effectiveness of the cavalry.

Yu Sheng's plan this time is also to test it, if Huang Yuchen can really achieve the kind of effect he wants, it will be easy to pass through the two cities behind.

"After a while, with the sound of the cannon as the signal, how long will it take for you to arrange the formation?" Yu Sheng saw Huang Yuchen smiling, knowing that he understood his intentions.

Huang Yuchen looked up at the sky, at this moment the moon was in the sky, it was almost late at night, he thought for a while, and replied softly: "Now go up the mountain, arrive at the position as quickly as possible, arrange the formation, no matter how you say it, it will take an hour." ”

Hearing this, Yu Sheng nodded slightly, looked back at his five guards, and ordered in a low voice: "You five, go with Adjutant General Ma, and be sure to protect his safety!"

"Honorable Order!" the five guards of the rest of their lives heard this and immediately received the order.

Huang Yuchen stopped talking nonsense, walked straight to the side, and after a few dodges, he disappeared into the forest on the side, and the five guards immediately followed.

On both sides of the city in front of you, there are hilly landforms, the mountains are not very high, nor are they towering, but there are many plants and trees on the mountains, and there are many trees.

Yu Sheng glanced at the location where Huang Yuchen and the others had disappeared, and his eyes were contemplative, but no new orders came out. All the sergeants lay quietly on the side of the road, without making a sound.

Although there is a map of the enclave, but there is not too detailed information, the city in front of you, how many people, how many defenders, how big the city, the geometry of the people, the rest of the life is not clear in my heart, and I can only wait for the scouts in front to come back, in order to bring some simple news.

Although the mountain road is rugged, it is not a problem under the feet of a few people who have cultivated to the highest level. Huang Yuchen and the others walked quickly, and in a quarter of an hour at most, they came to the position that they had discussed with Yu Sheng before.

On the hills, the city in front of you is in full view, and the surrounding jungle is lush, but there are no sentry scouts.

"It's kind of weird. Huang Yuchen said secretly: "The mountains on both sides are so close to the city, why don't you arrange sentry guards, you are really not afraid of others attacking with fire?"

Huang Yuchen stood on top of the hill, hiding his figure behind a large tree, and observed the entire city not far away.

The city in front of me is not too big, at most ten miles square. Reflecting the moonlight, Huang Yuchen's eyes narrowed slightly, carefully checked the layout of the city, and found that in this city, the streets were wide, there were not many houses, and the wide streets were empty, and there was a strange silence, which looked a little strange.

On the city wall, a few sergeants can be faintly seen, but there are only a few people, and there are no large numbers of sergeants stationed in the city.

Here, it looks like an empty city, and it is nothing more than a faΓ§ade.

Seeing this situation, Huang Yuchen couldn't help frowning slightly, looked at the several guards on the side, and said softly: "Big brother guard, please check the surrounding situation, this city is a little wrong." ”

Hearing this, the two guards nodded, one dodged and disappeared without a trace, but the remaining three guards had already stayed by Huang Yuchen's side to protect his safety.

Although there was something not quite right in the city, Huang Yuchen didn't think much about it, but according to the agreement between him and the rest of his life, he found a large open space on the side and began to depict the fire formation.

The Fire Separation Array is a relatively simple of the Five Elements Formation, which is used to invoke the power of nature and separate the fire attribute from it. The formation was opened, and the raging fire burned out of thin air, and what burned was the fire attribute of the force of nature, not the physical object.

The formation is simple, but it also requires four circles of charms. Huang Yuchen didn't use the spell he had just learned, because the spell spell technique consumed too much fighting energy and spiritual power, and if he really used the word trick to depict the fire array, he was afraid that the portrayal would be completed, and Huang Yuchen would be exhausted.

And the use of words to depict is perfect for Huang Yuchen.

His hands moved quickly, and in a few moments, the first round of charms that shimmered with a pale yellow light appeared on the ground.

Huang Yuchen's hands did not stop, his face moved slightly, and he continued to depict the second circle of curse marks.

The principle is simple, but there are a lot of spells used, but the effect is not very good, it belongs to a relatively low-level of the Five Elements Formation, and generally speaking, almost no one uses it. The first is that this formation is too laborious and cumbersome to portray, and the second is because the role that this formation can play is really not much, what role can a magic circle that burns out of thin air play in the battlefield?

And the reason why Huang Yuchen chose to leave the fire array was mainly because he was too unfamiliar with the other formations, although the spells used by the fire formation were complicated, but the principle was simple. The Fire Formation is one of the several formations that he has been studying the formation depiction with all his heart a few days ago, and he is now proficient in using it, and he is proficient in operation. And at present, against this city, the fire array can play an unexpected role.

In a short time, the four circles of charms needed to leave the fire array had all been carved and printed on the ground, shining with a pale yellow light, which looked very wonderful.

The three guards standing behind him all showed a look of surprise on their faces, of course they had seen Huang Yuchen before, Huang Yuchen was very skilled in cracking the formation, but cracking the formation and carving the formation were completely different, otherwise the formation master would not have such a high status in the army.

What several guards didn't expect was that Huang Yuchen looked young, but he was really a formation talisman master who was proficient in using formations, and coupled with the strength that Huang Yuchen had shown on the battlefield before, several people couldn't help but be impressed.

Huang Yuchen looked at the completed formation in front of him and let out a sigh of relief. The formation has been carved, and all that remains, as long as a spell mark is punched in, the flames will immediately rise into the sky.

raised his head and looked at several guards, and at this moment, the three guards in front of him were looking at him with surprised eyes, which made Huang Yuchen slightly stunned, and then smiled and didn't say anything. After taking a few steps to the side, he continued to carve the second fire formation.

According to the agreement with Yu Sheng, this time it will take about four fire formations to have the corresponding effect, and in terms of Huang Yuchen's total fighting spirit, four fire separation arrays will be depicted, and they will be captured.

Huang Yuchen had just finished the second fire formation when the two guards who had just gone out came back softly, and one dodged and landed beside the other three guards. Huang Yuchen heard the sound and looked up, the two guards were both flat, and they also looked at Huang Yuchen.

"I've looked around, but there's no trace, and I haven't found anyone. Seeing Huang Yuchen's questioning look, one of the guards immediately replied.

Hearing this, Huang Yuchen stopped the movement in his hand and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

There is no one in the city, and no one in the mountains, so where are the enemy troops guarding this place?

After thinking about it carefully, Huang Yuchen suddenly had a flash of inspiration, looked at the guard in front of him, and said, "Brother Guard, please go again, go to General Yusheng, and explain the current situation to him." According to my analysis, the enemy may have hidden an ambush in the mountains behind the city, and after we attack the city, we will catch turtles in the urn!"

When several guards heard this, they were stunned, and one of the guards nodded immediately, and immediately dodged and disappeared into the jungle on the side.

Huang Yuchen looked at the remaining sergeants and said softly: "We are on the hills, we can directly cross the city, and please take a trip to the jungle behind the city." ”

"Good!" one of the guards nodded immediately, glancing at his companion beside him, and in an instant, the two guards dodged away and quickly disappeared.

Huang Yuchen exhaled lightly, stopped speaking, and continued to portray the remaining two fire formations that had not yet been completed.

At present, the enemy army may only use this method to lure their own side into the city, and then the army will immediately surround it, besiege all the cavalry in the city, and catch turtles in the urn, so as to achieve the greatest results. While weakening their own combat effectiveness, it also ensures their combat effectiveness to the greatest extent.

Now that I think about it, I saw the bleak scene in the city before, and if I continue to postpone according to this idea, everything will be in order.

Although he could see it clearly, Huang Yuchen did not stop depicting the action of leaving the fire array, and the formation quickly depicted down, this fire formation may play a vital role in the battle for a while.

At the same time as Huang Yuchen was carving the formation, Yu Sheng also received news from the scouts.

A group of scouts went out and divided into two groups, one group approached the city, and one group climbed the hill to carefully observe the enemy's disposition.

The hill they climbed was opposite Huang Yuchen, separated by the entire city, and they had a panoramic view of everything in the city.

Not surprisingly, Yu Sheng got the same news as Huang Yuchen.

This city is very empty, let alone 4,000 troops, I am afraid that if a large brigade is sent, it can be easily breached.

If the enemy acts like this, there is only one possibility to lure them into the city and catch turtles in the urn.

Yu Sheng saw soberness clearly, with a hideous smile on his face.

There was no trace of the enemy on either side of the hills or in the city, so there was only one possibility, the enemy here must be in the mountains behind the city, waiting for their own side to enter the city, so as to surround the city and weaken their cavalry.

"Okay! If you want to fight a siege war, Lao Tzu will play with you. ”

After getting the news that the city's garrison was lax, Yu Sheng no longer hesitated, and immediately ordered all the staff to open and go straight to the city in front.
