Chapter 859: Attacking the Heart
() Liu Xiaoyu suddenly thought of a question and asked urgently: "This time, who is the Dongfang family sending to lead the troops?"
You must know that although the coast of Wanzhou blocked the invasion of the Dongming Kingdom, after the defeat of the main force of the Dongming Kingdom, many Dongming ninjas were sent to continuously attack and harass in Wanzhou, delaying the battle indefinitely and containing a large part of the military strength of the Dongfang Family.
Therefore, it is impossible for the Wanzhou Dongfang family to come out to help Mu Yuntian, Wanzhou's war against Dongming has been taught to Dongfang Shu and Dongfang Jie, and the three swords of heaven, earth and man are still not moved. The leader who assisted Mu Yuntian in his march to Liangzhou was Dongfang Xing, the elder of the Dongfang family, who had contact with Shang Zhengyu, Ziqi, Chu Linxu and others in Minhua before, and was no stranger.
However, since only part of the army was dispatched, it would not be Dongfang Xing who personally led the army.
The black-clothed sentry replied: "It's really not Dongfang Xing, it's a woman named Dongfang Ling who leads the troops." ”
Dongfang Ling...... I know this man. Seeing that Hou Feng was a little curious, Liu Xiaoyu immediately explained: "This person is the same generation as Dongfang Jie and others, but he is a few years younger, and he is also the backbone of the younger generation of the Dongfang family. He once participated in the naval battle with Dongming under Dongfang Jie, and he was extremely brave and did not lose to men. She is also Dongfang Xing's daughter. ”
"I see, but after all, it's a woman. Hou Feng sneered: "Women are very prone to indecision at critical times, so in my opinion, there is nothing to worry about." We should now think about how to stop the army from attacking Qiuxi Gorge, and in my guess, I am afraid that they will turn today, rectify or test tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow should officially attack. ”
"Maybe a general attack will be launched tomorrow! Don't be careless!"
Liu Xiaoyu has always had a thick dark cloud lingering in his heart. He is already at the peak of his artistic conception, and when he has cultivated to this extent, he will have more intuition than ordinary people in the dark. Liu-Xiaoyu's intuition has been reminding Liu-Xiaoyu to be careful, but it is extremely vague, and Liu-Xiaoyu does not know where this danger will come from after thinking about it.
He eventually blamed everything on the attack on the Qiuxi Gorge by the Great Army.
"Perhaps, it is really going to be officially launched tomorrow. ”
Liu Xiaoyu secretly thought in his heart, this thought together, and then the intuition in his heart, immediately made him believe seven or eight points.
"No, we have to do something. Liu Xiaoyu suddenly spoke, he stared at Hou Zhao and said: "Let's go now, first go to the vicinity of the barracks to investigate, if the conditions allow, we will burn their grain and grass tonight!"
Hou Feng was stunned for a moment: "Second brother, will it be too urgent now, we haven't heard the details of the military camp yet!"
"Can't wait. Liu Xiaoyu shook his head and frowned: "I'm afraid that they will attack Qiuxi Gorge tomorrow." There are only more than 20,000 people in Lianshan, and the other party has more than 70,000 or 80,000 people combined.
It is also bound to suffer heavy losses, and can only withdraw from Qiuxi Gorge. ”
"We can't afford to bet on this outcome!"
Listening to Liu Xiaoyu's words, Hou Feng also had a solemn face, indeed, if Qiuxixia is lost, it will be a failure, and this risk must be taken!
Hou Zhao did not hesitate, immediately took the case, and said: "Second brother, I listen to you, we will do what you say!"
Liu Xiaoyu nodded, and then his gaze swept over the people below, his face instantly straightened, and he said sharply: "Pass the order, everyone prepare, set off in half an hour, and the target is Qiuxi Gorge!"
On a hill to the east of Qiuxi Gorge, Shang Zhengyu was standing here with his son Wan Yanjing, Su Mengxiao, Yu Rouwei and Du Feiyan, overlooking an open field in front of them by the moonlight.
This is the battlefield chosen by Shang Zhengyu!
In the grove behind Shang Zhengyu's six people, there were more than 2,000 light cavalry hidden, half of which were the Yunzhou army led by Mu Zheng himself, and the other side was led by a slender figure who seemed to be a little delicate, but the majestic battle intent exuded from that body had been integrated with the generals behind him, so that people did not dare to underestimate it.
It's really Dongfang Ling of the Oriental family.
Dongfang Ling saw Shang Zhengyu again for the first time in so many years, because of a misunderstanding, she was used to almost trap Shang Zhengyu in injustice, so that she felt a little strange in her heart when she saw Shang Zhengyu now.
Dongfang Ling silently looked at the Shang Zhengyu in front of her, who was discussing strategy with everyone, and the curiosity in her heart became clearer and clearer.
"This is Brother Jie's sword grinding stone, but looking at the cultivation, it seems that it is even more prosperous than Brother Jie. Dongfang Ling said secretly in her heart.
When Shang Zhengyu saw Dongfang Ling coming, he nodded and smiled at him, and said hello.
Naturally, everyone gathered here at such a late night to greet each other, in fact, after Yan Jing reported that she had discovered the canyon villa, Shang Zhengyu discussed with General Mu Yuntian and began the layout.
Everyone agreed that the canyon was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and there must be a secret passage leading to an unknowable place, which might not be able to wipe out all the people of the Heavenly Dao, and it would be a pity if a few important people ran away. So Shang Zhengyu and Mu Yuntian discussed again and again, and decided to lure out those shrunken guys!
Shang Zhengyu guessed that the purpose of these people must be the same as Lin Yan and Leng Yuanxiao, to cooperate with Lianshan to defend Qiuxi Gorge, so the old general Mu Yuntian repaired a letter and sent it to Dongfang Xing, asking him to cooperate with him to act in a play.
That's right, the army marching into Qiuxi Gorge was a scene directed by Mu Yuntian and Dongfang Xing, in order to force out the Hetian Dao people in the Gorge Villa.
During this period, several masters such as Shang Zhengyu, Ziqi, and Wanyanjing had been ambushing nearby, and finally let them catch the whereabouts of those sentinels.
Some sentinels are all potential realm cultivators, and Shang Zhengyu is a master of artistic conception, and it is too easy not to be discovered under their noses. Mu Yuntian deliberately made the illusion of attacking Qiuxi Gorge, and for this reason, he also asked Mu Zheng to take people out of the camp in the evening to provoke, making a sufficient gesture.
By the moonlight, Mu Zheng swept the open ground below his eyes, and couldn't help asking, "Brother Shang, and how do you know that they will definitely go here." ”
"Simple. Shang Zhengyu said with a smile: "We are here today, those spies with strange whereabouts have been walking this route, obviously very familiar with this road, and it is okay to walk so many times during the day, most of the people inside will subconsciously choose this road, because they will feel that this road is safe." ”
"Awesome. Dongfang Ling couldn't help but praise Shang Zhengyu: "Brother Shang, I can't see that you are strong in kung fu, and you also have a set of marching and fighting." ”
Su Mengxiao listened to Dongfang Ling's words, stroked her beard lightly and smiled from ear to ear. Anyway, he is also his future uncle, and now he looks at Shang Zhengyu more and more.
Yu Rouwei suddenly asked, "Husband, but what if they don't take the bait tonight, how do you know that they will definitely come out tonight." ”
Shang Zhengyu's eyes lit up: "This is a gamble." Although I don't know why for the time being, but in any case, they definitely don't want Qiuxi Gorge to be broken by us so quickly, and it can be seen from Lin Yan's risk of death to attack General Mu Yuntian, the gains and losses of Qiuxi Gorge are extremely important to them. ”
"If that's the case, then if we put on a gesture and they'll take the bait. ”
Shang Zhengyu didn't say a word, that is, when he felt the meaning of life and death from Situ Yan in Shenxiao Mountain, although his cultivation did not increase, he made great progress in his innate spiritual sense.
And the innate spirit sense told Shang Zhengyu very definitely this time that the other party would definitely take the bait!
As he was speaking, Su Mengxiao, who exuded internal strength to probe the surroundings, suddenly said softly, "Huh?", and then, Shang Zhengyu also immediately noticed that there were signs of a large number of activities in the woods on the other side of the open field.
Su Mengxiao immediately signaled to the others, and everyone immediately stopped making a sound, and Mu Zheng and Dongfang Ling also quickly retreated to their respective teams, and everything was quietly going according to plan.
This time, Liu Xiaoyu mobilized everyone in the villa, a total of more than 100 masters. In addition to the three masters of artistic conception, Liu Xiaoyu, Hou Feng and Lin Wu, there are still ten subordinates in the early stage and middle stage of artistic conception, and the rest of them are also several potential realm cultivators.
As for the already scarce mortal realm subordinates in the villa, Liu Xiaoyu directly asked them to stay in the villa.
