Chapter 179: Into the urn

Huang Yuchen's hands flew quickly, and he kept depicting the fire formation, and when he heard the rumbling sound of horses' hooves on the official road below, he had already completed six complete fire formations, and the arrangement of the formation was no longer going straight to the city, but was a little off, aiming at a clearing at the back door of the city.

Six complete fire formations were enough to deal with the next battle, Huang Yuchen breathed a sigh of relief, stood up, and looked at the city below.

At this moment, Yu Sheng led the sergeants, all the way to the city gate, and when he reached the city gate, Yu Sheng held high the seal of the enclave leader, asking the city defenders to open the door.

Unexpectedly, the door opened.

The two middle-aged men who looked like officers respectfully guarded the door, and Yu Sheng was not surprised when he saw this, so he took a few steps forward and stopped a few feet in front of the two.

The sergeants behind him, in the front row, with halberds in hand, were ready to charge at any time, and if these two were not good for the rest of their lives, they would rush forward at the first opportunity.

In the back row, holding a longbow, the bowstring was fully drawn, and the arrow feathers shone in the moonlight, aiming straight at the city wall.

The two officers glanced at each other, hesitated forward, and fell to one knee in front of the rest of their horses.

"The general of Changxiang City, see the general. The two shouted in unison, their hands clasped into fists.

Yu Sheng lowered his head slightly, looked at the two kneeling in front of him, his face sank like water, and said softly: "What, is there only the two of you in this Changxiang City?"

"Back to the General. An officer who seemed to be older replied in a low voice: "There are 200 defenders in the city, and all of them have given up resistance at this moment, and the two of us have been waiting for the general here for a long time." ”

"Oh?" Yu Sheng raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and asked, "How long have you been waiting for me?"

"Exactly!" said another officer, "The leader has ordered all the cities along the Wufeng City to wait for the general, and when he sees the leader's letter, he will see him as if he were himself." The two of us have been ordered to wait here for more than three days. ”

"It's been three days. Yu Sheng repeated this man's words softly, then lowered his head and asked, "Have you always had only 200 defenders in your city, and what about the others?"

"Back to the General. The older officer said: "After receiving the order of the city lord, the rest of the defenders have rushed to Wufeng City to arrange the surrounding defenses in order to meet the general. ”

"Good, good. Yu Sheng smiled and said, "In this case, let all the two hundred people in the city come out and stand before the city gate." ”

"Yes!" the two of them immediately shouted, and they were about to get up.

"I'll let you go, you, keep kneeling. Yu Sheng looked down and glared at the older officer. This sentence frightened the two of them for a moment, the two quickly glanced at each other, the middle-aged officer clasped his hands into fists, turned around and entered the city gate, and the older officer continued to kneel in front of the rest of the horse.

"The first brigade, come forward and guard the city gates. Yu Sheng turned his head slightly, and whispered to the next order. Nearly 1,000 sergeants of the First Brigade, which had been on standby in the back, immediately stepped forward, one group entered the city gate, and one group stayed outside the city gate, leaving the entire city gate defense.

In this process, Yu Sheng kept looking at the elderly officer kneeling on the ground in front of him, this person kept his head down, Yu Sheng couldn't see his face, but with his powerful perception, he could know his aura fluctuations.

In the process of the occupation of the city gate by the first brigade, the aura of the older officer fluctuated greatly, up and down, and it was obvious that he was hiding something for the rest of his life. And this concealment is well known for the rest of his life.

After a while, the middle-aged officer who had entered the city gate before walked out with two hundred unarmed sergeants, standing neatly in front of the city gate, and behind them was a murderous black-armored iron horseman. The face of each sergeant was filled with deep fear, and someone's legs trembled from time to time. But no one fled, and everyone stood in front of the city gates, waiting for the rest of their lives to speak.

"Back to the General. The middle-aged officer stepped forward, knelt on one knee, clasped his hands into fists, and said, "There are 200 defenders of Changxiang City, and two officers, all of them are here, please give a lecture to the general." ”

Yu Sheng looked around at the two hundred enclave sergeants in front of him, although they were wearing battle armor and steel helmets, they didn't seem to have the heroic spirit that a soldier should have, but in front of Yu Sheng, no one was trembling, and a few of them were even shaking like chaff, and they could barely stand. These people, apparently, are not sergeants, but ordinary people.

Seeing this, Yu Sheng smiled slightly, but remained silent, looked at the two officers kneeling in front of him, and said, "Your disarming speed is very fast." ”

"As soon as he received the order, he immediately disarmed, only waiting for the arrival of the general. The old officer, replied in a deep voice.

"Okay!" Yu Sheng laughed and turned around and ordered, "Everyone, enter the city!"

When the black-armored iron cavalry behind him heard this, he immediately lined up in a vertical line, and slowly entered the city, bypassing Yu Sheng's position, but Yu Sheng was motionless, without Yu Sheng's order, and the two officers who knelt down in front of him did not dare to move.

"As for the two hundred disarmed sergeants, disband them on the spot. The black-armored iron horseman was entering the city, and Yu Sheng looked at the two hundred people who were already frightened and bloodless in front of him, and these people were relieved when they heard this, and they knelt down one after another, and buckled their heads to Yu Sheng, and when all the soldiers had entered the city, these people immediately followed behind, entered the city, and then scattered the birds and beasts.

At this moment, the sergeants of the 1st Brigade were still standing in front of the city gate, not moving an inch.

"Two generals, come with me into the city. Yu Sheng whispered to the two officers in front of him, without looking back, and rode straight into the city.

The two officers glanced at each other, and they saw a hint of excitement in each other's eyes.

immediately got up, followed the rest of his war horse, and entered Changxiang City.

Entering the city, Yu Sheng sighed secretly.

This Changxiang city is really a poor and remote place, there is not a single tall building in the city, all the buildings are all one floor, and there are few blue bricks, most of which are made of wood. The road is wide, but it is completely dirt. If you look ahead, you can see the other side of the wall.

There are shops on both sides of the street, but they look very shabby, and there is nothing good to think of. The streets were very dirty, with leftover food scraps, household garbage, and worn clothes thrown everywhere.

It seems that this place went through a retreat not so long ago. At this moment, the city is bleak, the city is empty, and there are not many people.

Seeing this, Yu Sheng didn't say anything, and walked straight along the main street, in front of him, there was the only building in the city that looked in the past, and this place should be the city lord's mansion of this city.

After Yu Sheng entered the city gate, the remaining sergeants of the first brigade entered the city behind Yu Sheng, and quickly closed the city gate, a small number of them followed Yu Sheng to continue to move forward, and most of the sergeants of the first brigade immediately climbed the city wall and prepared to defend.

They are veterans of a hundred battles, and they don't need orders for the rest of their lives, so they naturally know what to do first after occupying an empty city.

The first brigade quickly occupied the city wall, which surprised the two officers who followed Yu Sheng, but they did not show anything.

The rest of his life rode his horse and came to the gate of the city lord's mansion, and both sides of the main street were occupied by the black armored iron horsemen.

Yu Sheng stopped his horse, looked at the group of sergeants in front of him, and immediately ordered in a loud voice: "The first brigade will hold the city wall when it comes, the second brigade will be responsible for leaving the city wall, and the third and fourth brigades will quickly search the entire city to ensure that nothing goes wrong." ”

When the order was given, no one answered, but all the sergeants immediately moved and quickly deployed according to the arrangement for the rest of their lives.

The second brigade of nearly 1,000 sergeants parked their horses under the city wall, and immediately climbed the city wall behind them, and quickly began to deploy. The other two teams of sergeants immediately began to inspect the city, knocking on every house and searching the city.

Yu Sheng's order made the faces of the two officers change greatly, and they immediately knelt on one knee and asked Yu Sheng loudly: "General, what do you mean by this?"

"What do you mean?" Yu Sheng heard this, smiled, and said: "The border is important, leave me an empty city, you two coax me into the city, and let the people in the city serve as the soldiers guarding the city, are you really stupid for me?"

As soon as the words fell, the red fighting energy of Yu Sheng's whole body surged, and suddenly turned into a red flash and disappeared on the horse's back. In the next moment, the two officers only felt a chill in their necks, and Yu Sheng appeared behind the two of them, and there were two more short knives in their hands at some point, which were proportional to the necks of the two of them.

The cold blade stimulated all the senses of the two, and the hairs stood on end, and the two of them were immediately stunned on the spot, not daring to move.

"The fireworks in the hands of the two of you, you can only move when I tell you to move. Do you understand?" Yu Sheng's tone was cold, and the two officers who listened immediately nodded lightly as if they were falling into an ice cave. The short knife at the neck exudes a little bit of coldness, and with a slight movement, the two of them will die on the spot.

The third and fourth brigades quickly searched this small city, and only 200 people were found in the city, and these 200 people were the 200 people who served as sergeants before. At this moment, they were all brought to the city lord's mansion and knelt down one after another.

"My lord, we were forced!"

"If we don't pretend to be sergeants, our families will die!"

"My lord, spare my life, my lord, we are forced!"

Two hundred people knelt in front of the city lord's mansion, wailing all over the place for a while, especially when they saw that the two officers had been restrained for the rest of their lives, and the matter of pretending to be a sergeant had obviously been discovered by the other party. The emotions hidden in my heart immediately burst out, crying bitterly.

There were a group of people kneeling down in front of him, all of them wailing, and the rest of his brows were furrowed when he listened, he glanced at the sergeant on the side, and immediately two people stepped forward, drew the long knives at their waists, and subdued the two officers for Yu Sheng.

"Don't make any noise!" handed over the two officers, Yu Sheng immediately roared, this voice was strengthened by the fighting spirit, like a thunderbolt, after the roar, the two hundred people in front of him immediately stopped wailing, and looked at Yu Sheng, their eyes full of fear.

"Come out and tell me what the hell is going on. The city lord's mansion was quiet again, and he didn't speak until he spoke.

Among the 200 people, a middle-aged man stood up, knelt on his knees, walked a few steps, and when he reached the front, his voice was crying, and he said to Yu Sheng: "My lord, let us call the shots, we are all forced!"
