The army of Dongwangfu in the enclave this time is composed of three parts, the first batch of 6,000 sergeants stationed in the enclave are the Dongwangfu Tiger Army, mainly responsible for the defense of Dongwangfu and the defense of the Blackstone Bridge, with a total of 40,000 people, most of whom were taken to the front line by Dongwang, leaving only a small number to stay in Dongwangfu. This time, in addition to the 6,000 Tiger Ben Army sent before, the Tiger Ben Army sergeants who returned later were all protected near the Dongwang Mansion and did not go on the expedition.

The second batch of supporters is the former retired veterans recruited by Xiao Yibo, and they have a new number, the Blue Wolf Army, all the sergeants are composed of retired veterans, and the general is Sha Shaoyuan, who is stationed at the Black Stone Bridge at the moment, and now most of them follow Huang Yongning and enter the enclave, and Ye Guan's subordinates have no blue wolf army sergeants.

The third group of troops led by Huang Yongning was composed of the Dongwangfu Guards and the Chiwolf Army, with a total of 50,000, and half of the two armies stood in each. The Guards and the Wolf Army were divided into two different legions in the East Palace, the Guards were previously commanded by Huang Yuanwu, and the Wolf Army was commanded by Huang Yongning, but this time the troops were divided into two ways, and the Huang Yuanwu Guards were handed over to Huang Yongning, and these two troops were the absolute main force of the East Palace.

And the 20,000 sergeants led by Ye Guan this time are the elite of the Guards and the Wolf Army, a hundred battles of heroes, any sergeant is experienced in a hundred battles, can be described as a tiger and wolf division.

Such an army naturally has the best generals, and the four generals assigned to Ye Guan by Huang Yongning this time are also the mainstays of the Eastern Palace.

And Ye Guan, needless to say, is one of the four city lords of the East Palace, and his status is transcendent. Before, the emperor's family wanted to canonize Ye Guan as a second-rank general and live in the imperial capital, but Ye Guan refused and chose to stay in the East Palace, and he did not receive the title of second-rank general.

Huang Yongning's arrangement shows the importance of the battle of Qiu Changcheng to the Eastern Palace.

Ye Guan is amiable on weekdays, but everyone knows that Ye Guan must not be regarded as an uncle next door. The shadow of the famous tree, when these four generals entered the East Palace, Ye Guan had already retired and became the city lord of Wuxing City, and their battlefield road was to listen to the legend of the four city lords of the East Palace, so they naturally respected Ye Guan.

However, in the face of the first tough battle after entering the enclave, and this time it is likely to be the candidate who decides the vanguard, and the commanders of the two armies want to be the vanguard, so they mix a few words with each other in front of Ye Guan.

At this moment, the four generals saw that Ye Guan's eyes were slightly closed, his face was expressionless, and he looked like an old god was there, and they didn't dare to take a breath.

For a long time, no one in the tent spoke, and the four generals all looked at Ye Guan intently, waiting for Ye Guan to speak.

"What's the matter, don't make any noise?" Ye Guan opened his eyes and glanced at the four generals present, his voice was very soft and his tone was soft, but when he said it, the four generals bowed their heads one after another.

"Our words are rude, Chief Ye must not blame. Ding Jiang was the first to speak, and the matter was caused by him, so he hurriedly stood up, clasped his hands into fists, and saluted Ye Guan.

"It's me who is reckless, and I ask President Ye to calm his anger. Kou Long and Ren Zijin also got up one after another and saluted Ye Guan with their fists.

Ye glanced at the three people who got up, smiled, and asked, "When did I say that I would blame you, and I didn't get angry, a few generals should also take a seat." ”

"Commander Xie Ye. Hearing Ye Guan say this, the three generals sighed in their hearts and sat down one after another.

Ye Guan didn't directly lead them before, and they didn't know Ye Guan's temper, but they heard that Ye Guan was kind and kind-hearted, and had a gentle temperament, but a few people didn't have the slightest disrespect.

"I came to you this time, not to choose the vanguard to fight, but to discuss some things with a few people. Ye Guan smiled and said softly.

Several generals were stunned when they heard this, looked at each other, and Ding Jiang clenched his fists and said in a deep voice: "If there is anything important, please ask General Leader Ye to come." ”

Ye Guan nodded lightly and said: "Last night, I sent three teams of scouts to investigate from the ridges on both sides of Zongqiu Mountain and the official road in the middle, and Yan Ming had to be extra careful before, so I asked them to take off their armor and stay on the horses to go into battle lightly, but I didn't want these three teams of scouts to return all night, and there is no news about Dao now, the four generals, what do you think about this matter?"

As soon as Ye Guan's voice fell, the four generals immediately frowned slightly.

As the active officers of the East King Mansion, of course they know what level of the East King Mansion Scout Camp is, the three teams of scouts have no news at the same time, it has never happened before, even before the imperial capital, the scout camp can bring back the movements of the other Three Kings Camp, not to mention an enclave.

"There's something weird about it. The other three didn't speak, Tu Xingping spoke first, and said softly: "In the previous battle, no matter what the situation was, even if the scouts were ambushed, there was never a situation where several teams of scouts did not return, but Commander Ye said that none of the three teams of scouts had returned, and there were probably a large number of ambushes or traps in front of them. ”

"Ambush trap?" Kou Long shook his head on the side, and said: "I don't think so, you just said, even if they encountered ambushes before, the brothers of the scout camp also had a way to get out and bring the news back, but this time there was no one to return, I think, I am afraid that the front is not only as simple as the enemy ambush, it may be something that we don't understand." ”

Although Kou Long and Ding Jiang are a little difficult to deal with, in business, the two can still cooperate sincerely, and there will be no mutual dislike and tearing each other down.

Ding Jiang frowned, looked at Ye Guan, and said softly: "Commander Ye, with my understanding of the scout camp, not to mention that the three teams of scouts disappeared at the same time, even if a team of seven people, even if they entered someone else's ambush, they still have time to stir up the sky and send out a warning message. ”

Ye Guan supported his cheek with one hand, his eyes were slightly downcast, and the analysis of several generals was not much different from his own heart. He looked up at several generals, nodded slightly, and said: "Ye Mou said that Ye Mou is clear, and it is naturally impossible for the scout team to disappear out of thin air, Gu Ye guessed that forty miles ahead, there may be a large number of killing arrays." ”

Ye Guan emphatically said the word killing array, word by word. When the four generals heard Ye Guan's words, they all showed surprise, of course they knew about the killing array, but this thing rarely appeared, and there were even fewer people who could arrange it, they had never seen the killing array on the battlefield before, and they had heard about it, but they didn't know what was so strange about this killing array, they had only heard that the killing array could kill people invisibly, which was very weird.

"Commander Ye, this killing array ...... What's so weird about it?" Koron retracted his surprise and looked at Ye Guan. Of course, he couldn't believe Ye Guan's words, but a few people had only heard about the killing array, but they didn't know the specific purpose of the killing array.

"Killing Array......" Ye Guan sighed lightly, and said in a deep voice: "There are two kinds of killing arrays, what I suspect this time is the assassination array, this formation kills people invisibly, hides very deeply, and is specially designed to deal with those who are self-cultivating, if a cultivator touches the formation mechanism, the formation will explode in an instant, locking the target with fighting energy in the surrounding meridians, killing with one blow, and there is no sound, and it is impossible to prevent." ”

"My scout camp scouts, at least there are cultivators at the advanced level, if you really encounter a killing array, there will be death and no life. ”

After Ye Guan said this, his face was solemn. The four generals all frowned.

"Commander Ye. Ding Jiang on the side said: "I heard that the layout of the killing formation is very difficult, and it is more than ten times more difficult than the ordinary formation.

"Putting aside all the impossibilities, the rest is the truth, no matter how unbelievable. Ye looked at Ding Jiang and said softly: "This time, my Eastern Palace's elite combat power was gathered to concentrate on dealing with Qiuchang City, just guessing that there are likely to be hidden masters in this Qiuchang City." ”

When Ding Jiang heard this, he stopped talking, but his heart was a little confused. What Ye Guan said was beyond his imagination, and this was not something that ordinary sergeants could deal with at all.

Ye Guan looked around at the four generals, and several of them frowned slightly at the moment, and their hearts were heavy. Ye Guan's words, of course, they believed that as the absolute commander of this campaign, Ye Guan had no reason to deceive his generals with words, which was meaningless.

"I came to you just for the killing array that may exist, how many of you, is there a way to crack it?" Ye Guan asked softly to a few people.

The four generals were in a state of flux, thinking about how to deal with it.

Ding Jiang first raised his head, looked at Ye Guan, and said, "Chief Leader Ye, you just said that this killing array is aimed at cultivators?"

"Exactly. Ye Guan replied: "I have discussed this kind of formation with Ning Yi before, and there will be no mistake in the plan." ”

"If it's just for cultivators, we can send non-monk troops to go and destroy all the formations, so won't it be solved?" Ren Zijin followed Ding Jiang's words and put forward his own suggestion.

"No, you can't. Before Ye Guan could reply, Tu Xingping on the side vetoed Ren Zijin's proposal, and said: "If the enemy army really has the ability to arrange such a formation, it is impossible to leave only the formation in it, there must be other back-ups, if there are no elite troops to follow, it is no different from sending them to death." Moreover. Saying that, Tu Xingping looked at Ren Zijin and said: "The elite dispatched by my Dongwang Mansion this time, among them, there are very few who have no cultivation at all, and the soldiers of a hundred battles at least have a basic level of using fighting energy, and Commander Ye said that as long as there is fighting energy in the meridians, it will trigger a killing array to attack and kill." ”

After Tu Xingping finished speaking, Ren Zijin frowned and was silent.

"What General Tu said is right. Ye Guan said softly: "It is impossible for the enemy to just put the killing array in it to block the way, there may be other backhands behind it, the matter is a little tricky, please speak freely." ”

"If you order the sergeant to burn the mountain, you can destroy the formation spell, even if you can't destroy it, you can also mess up the deployment behind it, if you get rid of the other back hands, and then deal with the killing formation, it will be much simpler. Koron thought for a moment and made a suggestion.

As soon as Kou Long's voice fell, the other three generals' eyes suddenly lit up, and they felt that Kou Long's idea was feasible, if Zongqiu Mountain was directly ignited, even if the enemy had any backhand, there was no way to use it, after getting rid of the enemy's backhand, and then using the uncultivated sergeant to find the destruction and killing array, this game could be solved.

When Ye Guan heard this, he thought about it for a while, but said: "The plan is feasible, but it takes too long, and it is very easy to be cracked by the enemy, at this moment, I don't know the location of the local killing base, if the fire is directly burned against the mountain, the fire is too small to be effective, the fire is too big, it may ignite the entire Zongqiu Mountain, and then it will inevitably threaten all the people in the five cities of Qiuchang, even if my Dongwang Mansion occupies Qiuchang City, it is meaningless." ”

What Ye Guan didn't say was that there was probably a great power to cultivate death qi behind this, and if it really ignited Zongqiu Mountain, it was likely to cause great casualties, which would hit the enemy's hands.

Hearing what Ye Guan said, the four generals fell into contemplation again.

"Therefore, I intend to go and find out for myself. While the four of them were pondering, Ye Guan suddenly said.
