Ye Guan said a word, and the four generals who listened to it felt chills in their hearts.

There is no need to listen to the report of the scouts about the changes in the head of Zhu'an City, and now in the camp, you can still vaguely hear the sound of drums coming from the city, and the figure of the sergeant on the head of the city is shaking, as long as you board the sentry, you can see it clearly.

But now Ye Guan said that all this was an illusion, which made several of them unable to accept it for a while.

"Commander Ye...... You ......" Kou Long looked at Ye Guan with a puzzled look on his face, and clenched his hands into fists. That meaning was obviously a little unacceptable, after all, Ye Guan's words were a bit shocking, they had never seen such a huge trick, let alone an ordinary sergeant. Besides, the rumored blinding method does not include the sound, if the scene of Zhu'an City seen is an illusion, then how to explain the sound of the drum?

If Kou Long wanted to ask, Ye Guansheng glared back. Now Ye Guan's mood is extremely bad, he has a feeling that people are playing with applause, but he has no means to crack it. This situation had never happened in his previous military career and his subsequent career as a city lord. Especially seeing the changes in Zhu'an City with his own eyes this time made Ye Guan's heart tense even more.

"I know you have doubts, and so do I. Ye Guan glanced at the four generals and said in a low voice: "But this is what I have seen with my own eyes, I have entered Zhu'an City twice, both times are empty cities, the soldiers in the city wave their flags and shout, and the drums shake the sky, but I stand under the city wall, but I am not attacked by any kind, so it can be seen that even if it is difficult to accept, all this I see in front of me is an illusion." ”

When the four of them heard this, they fell into deep thought and stopped talking.

What Ye Guan said was really shocking, but in their hearts, they still preferred to trust Ye Guan, and the sergeant reported that Ye Guan had indeed returned from the direction of Zhu'an City.

"Quickly send an order, the two armies will each send a hundred elites to Zhu'an City with me to find out the truth and truth!" Ye Guan was a little impatient in his heart, he was now eager to know everything that happened in Zhu'an City, why such a city built like a fortress suddenly became an empty city.

Several generals no longer hesitated, and then clasped their fists with their hands to Ye Guan and retreated.

Among the 20,000 troops on this expedition, a considerable number of elites have the qualifications to cultivate Dou Qi, but only a handful of them are at the level of monk or above. Ye Guan asked for 200 people, and the monk rank or above required more than 200 centurions to follow Ye Guan on the expedition.

Soon, one hundred members of the Wolf Army and one hundred Guards stood neatly outside Ye Guan's tent, with black helmets and black armor and spears in their hands, quietly waiting for Ye Guan's order. The commanders of the two armies, Ding Jiang and Kou Long, stood in front of the sergeants, also fully armed, and they planned to go to Zhu'an City with Ye Guan.

Ye Guan frowned slightly, slowly walked out of the tent, saw Ding Jiang and Kou Long as the leader, and asked softly: "Everything in your army has been arranged? Things are weird, I can't guarantee that there won't be any accidents." ”

After Ye Guan said something, Kou Long and Ding Jiang laughed, Ding Jiang said: "Commander Ye said that he laughed, we were originally soldiers on the battlefield, and life and death have long been put aside. ”

"That's right, Commander Ye, you don't have to worry too much. Kou Long smiled, then glanced back at the hundred guards behind him, and asked loudly, "Brothers, aren't you?"

"Yes!" shouted the hundred centurions of the Guards in unison. And the wolf army on the side, everyone was expressionless, as if they were not about to go on the expedition.

Ye Guan nodded lightly and said softly: "All the staff get on the horse, go straight to Zhu'an City, do all the protective measures, break through the fog, and enter Zhu'an City!"

With that, Ye Guan took a step forward and walked straight forward.

Behind him, two hundred elites followed closely behind, and their steps were uniform.

The war horses had already been prepared, and they were arranged at the exit of the camp, and everyone got on their horses one after another, led by Ye Guan, galloped on their horses, and went straight to Zhu'an City.

Without any superfluous orders, two hundred and three war horses galloped away, on the flat ground in front of Zhu'an City, like two hundred and three sharp swords, heading straight for Zhu'an City.

On the city of Zhu'an, the figures are crowded, and when you look up, you can immediately see the figures in the city. The shining bow and crossbow emitted a dazzling silver glow in the sunlight, and the sound of drums was unnoticeable, and the sound was like thunder.

Without the slightest hesitation, everyone followed Ye Guan and went straight to the gate of Zhu'an City, without slowing down, and went straight into the range of the crossbowmen.

It was no different from what was expected, everyone seemed to have broken through a fog and directly entered within ten zhang of Zhu'an City, without receiving any attack. The gates of the city, which were closed in front of them, suddenly opened widely, and a group of people drove straight into it without encountering any obstacles.

After passing through the corridor of Zhu'an City and entering the interior of the city, Ye Guancai grabbed the reins of the horse, stopped, and looked back at the sergeant behind him.

All the sergeants, including Ding Jiang and Kou Long, had shocked expressions on their faces. Even the centurion of the Wolf Army, who had experienced a hundred battles and countless battles, was full of shock and incredulity on his face at this moment.

In this way, they broke through the defenses of Zhu'an City and entered the city. Everything was like a dream.

At this moment, in Zhu'an City, it is extremely quiet, and no sound can be heard, only the neighing of the war horse under the crotch and the sound of the horse's hooves stepping on the ground from time to time. Above the city, there was no one, and the deafening sound of drums suddenly disappeared.

"Two hundred people, immediately divided into four teams, one team occupies the city wall, one team occupies the Wufu, and the other two teams search in the city, if you see any living people, bring them to me!" Ye Guan ignored the horror on everyone's faces, and immediately ordered, his voice was loud and solemn, which immediately shocked the hearts of all the sergeants, and then divided into a team of four or fifty people, scattered in all directions, and quickly disappeared into the streets and alleys of Zhu'an City.

Kou Long and Ding Jiang did not follow the team to set off, but rode on both sides of Ye Guan, their faces solemn and their hearts shocked.

By this time, they already knew that this expedition to Qiuchang City was not a simple siege battle, and the obstacle that they had just broken through was not something they could easily see.

Watching a group of sergeants go straight to the city wall, Ye Guan knocked the horse's belly lightly, slowly moving forward, frowning slightly, carefully recalling the previous events.

When he looked at Zhu'an Castle from the trunk of the tree outside, he found that Zhu'an Castle was empty, and there was no illusion at that time, so he jumped on the head of Zhu'an Castle and inspected the city walls and watchtowers, but he did not find anything wrong. It wasn't until he opened the gate, except for the city gate, and then turned back, that this illusion appeared. In this way, Ye Guan rode his horse into the city gate and road, dismounted and carefully observed the suggested device used to open the door, trying to see any clues in it.

The two generals, Ding Jiang and Kou Long, followed closely behind Ye Guan, and when they saw him dismounting, they also turned over and dismounted, walked to Ye Guan, and checked the improvised device together.

"After I opened the city gate, I went out of the city through the main gate and reached the small slope ahead. As he spoke, Ye Guan pointed to a small slope not far from the city gate, where he had dismounted before, and said softly: "Look back, the illusion will appear." ”

"I've never heard of any illusion working in this way. Kou Long frowned slightly, stretched out his hand and moved the proposed device in front of him, but did not find anything abnormal, and said softly: "This illusion is said to be a trick, but you can still clearly hear the sound of drums, Lord Commander, have you ever been to the city before, have you seen the drums?"

Hearing Kou Long say this, Ye Guan was slightly stunned.

Before, things were blatant, and the sense of horror occupied his mind, and he didn't realize it.

He inspected the city walls and watchtowers, and saw only in them a huge bronze bell, and on the top of the city there was no beating, not even the most ordinary drums. Where did the deafening drum beat come from?

Thinking of this, Ye Guan was even more confused in his heart, what was happening in front of him had already far exceeded his imagination, and with Ye Guan being so well-informed, he couldn't understand what was happening at all.

"It doesn't look like there's a mechanism here. At this moment, Ding Jiang on the side carefully inspected the entire city gate, including the simple device and the various mechanisms on the city gate, and said softly: "There are no mechanisms, and I can't feel any energy fluctuations, even if someone casts a blinding magic formation, the formation is not here." ”

"Go up!" Ye glanced at Ding Jiang, and no longer checked the city gate, turned straight around, went straight up the stairs on the side, and soon arrived at the watchtower above the city gate, looking at the huge bronze bell and bell pestle in front of him, his thoughts were flying.

The walls of the city were occupied by their own sergeants, and there were several sergeants in the watchtower who were checking around, each of them looking a little puzzled and unsure of what was going on.

Ding Jiang and Kou Long followed Ye Guan up, glanced at the huge bronze bell in the center, and then saw the bookcase on the side, as well as the unfinished letters on the bookcase, and couldn't help frowning slightly.

"The people of this city, as if suddenly received some irresistible order, retreated. Ding Jiang stepped forward and looked at the letter on the desk, picked up the half-written letter and handed it to Kou Long, who saw it and frowned even deeper.

"This letter clearly describes the advance of my army in the Eastern Palace, but it is still here halfway through it. Kou Long handed the letter in his hand to Ye Guan, who waved his hand, indicating that he already knew.

"If this is in a normal army, it is impossible to happen. Ding Jiang said: "At the moment of the great enemy, what he wrote is clearly a report document, if this letter is not written and reported, it is the crime of delaying the military situation, no matter what the force, for the military scribes, this is the top priority, if it is not for any emergencies, the information will definitely not be still here." ”

"Unless......" Koron's eyes twinkled, as if something had suddenly come to mind.

"Unless this is meant for us to see, they would have withdrawn a long time ago, right? Ye Guan turned his head, glanced at Kou Long, and whispered this sentence. After finishing speaking, he turned around again and looked intently at the bronze bell in front of him.

"Yes. Kou Long nodded and said, "There is only one possibility, but this is in Zhu'an City, and it doesn't make sense." It is counterintuitive why they abandoned such a strong city and retreated. ”

Ye Guan didn't pay attention to Kou Long anymore, and after taking a few glances at the bronze bell, he took a few steps forward, came to the huge bell pestle, and his whole body was full of fighting air, grabbed the rope of the bell pestle, and with all his strength, he pushed it suddenly.

“?? ......”

The deafening sound of the bell rang out, and the sound was very loud, spreading from the watchtower to the surrounding area, and it was transmitted far away.

With the huge sound of the bronze bell, the originally cloudless sky suddenly rose in all directions, and black clouds covered the sky and the sun, as if a storm was coming.

Feeling the change of light in the house, Ye Guan frowned, and as soon as his figure moved, he immediately appeared above the city.

At this moment, the wind was blowing, rolling the black clouds in the sky, and above the sky, the black clouds were rolling, and lightning and thunder were roaring. The fierce hurricane blew the battlements everywhere, making a ghost crying wolf howl, and for a while, the entire Zhu'an City was shrouded in a terrifying black cloud.

Ye Guan looked up, and in the black clouds, there seemed to be a pair of eyes staring at him.
