Chapter 221: Public Opinion?
Looking closely, the more than 100 enemy sergeants kneeling in front of Wufu Square were not all ordinary people who had no cultivation. Looking at the way they knelt on the ground, their legs were already trembling slightly, and many people were sweating on their foreheads.
Such a person can be called an ordinary person at most, but now he has clearly become the defender of this depression city, which makes Huang Yuchen a little surprised.
Not only Huang Yuchen, but Yu Sheng was also a little surprised in his heart.
Although the city is not big, the terrain is dangerous, and it is the last pass to enter the territory of Wufeng City.
But at such a critical position, why did the enemy arrange for these more than 100 old and weak soldiers to defend, did they not think that they could rush here from the very beginning?
Thinking of this, Yu Sheng paced forward and walked straight up the steps of the front hall of the Martial Mansion, and Huang Yuchen followed Yu Sheng to look at the group of enemy sergeants kneeling below.
Yu Shengyi stood on the steps of the front hall of the Martial Mansion, and the enemy sergeant kneeling in front of him obviously became more nervous, in the rumors, the general of the Eastern Palace, is a peerless demon who kills people without blinking, and if he falls into his hands, I am afraid that he will definitely die.
Every enemy sergeant who surrendered had this thought in his heart, and when he thought of his family and his peaceful life, an indescribable fear came over everyone.
The few people kneeling at the front, after standing still for the rest of their lives, beads of sweat the size of beans dripped down from their foreheads and hit the bluestone floor of Wufu Square, their bodies trembling like chaff, as if they were going to faint in the next moment. What's more, there was a water stain between his legs, and he was scared to pee.
Yu Sheng saw this scene, his brows furrowed slightly, he wanted to ask a little, but now it seems that he has not spoken, these people have been so scared that they peed their pants, if they open their mouths, they are really afraid that they will be scared to death.
Shaking his head helplessly, Yu Sheng said softly: "Send all of them to prison, they must not be beaten and scolded, and they will be taken care of." With that, the rest of his life walked into the martial arts.
Huang Yuchen stood for a while, he looked at the enemy sergeants in front of him who were shaking like chaff, and felt a little funny in his heart, but he didn't say that he followed Yu Sheng and entered the martial arts.
Hearing Yu Sheng's order, the two captains immediately stepped forward and ordered all the enemy sergeants to get up and enter the cage in the backyard of the Wufu in an orderly manner.
Two people, escorting hundreds of people, and each of these hundreds of people had a pale face, some of them could not even walk on their own, their legs were weak, and they had to be supported by their companions.
At this moment, let alone resist, they don't even have the courage to raise their heads.
After putting all the enemy troops in cages, the two captains turned around and left, returned to the troops, and arranged for a dozen sergeants to enter the prison and take care of the enemy sergeants.
After entering the cage, many enemy sergeants immediately let out a sigh of relief and locked them up, as if they would not be killed, and the atmosphere of fear relaxed slightly.
Yu Sheng entered the martial mansion, and immediately ordered all the sergeants to enter, and arranged for the defense to take care of the front and rear doors. Although Wacheng is not big, there are tens of thousands of people, but fortunately, the soldiers of the Dongwangfu are strictly disciplined, and they will not do anything to disturb the people without the rest of their lives.
After this toss, the sky has become a little cloudy.
Yu Sheng sat in the main hall of the slightly humble Wacheng Martial Mansion, his brows furrowed slightly. Huang Yuchen sat for the rest of his life, and he was also a little thoughtful.
Yu Sheng originally thought that it would not be so smooth for several captains to take the last pass city, and the enemy would at least arrange thousands of defenders to defend this place and send a few captains to infiltrate, also in order to have an internal response when attacking the city. But what happened now was beyond the expectations of Yu Sheng and Huang Yuchen.
The three captains not only infiltrated the city, but also easily took the city, and led the troops into the city for the rest of their lives without encountering any resistance. The enemy army seems to have completely abandoned the city and disappeared.
And looking at the frightened appearance of the defenders of Wacheng just now, it has to make people think more.
During the war, there were some rumors in the city and in the army, which was normal. But the administrators often stopped spreading rumors before they spread, in order to maintain the confidence and morale of the army and the people in the city. Now this situation is obviously the result of the spread of rumors, so that the defenders of Wacheng, looking at the soldiers of the East Palace, are like looking at the Nine Shadows Demon, and they have not resisted in the slightest, and they are about to collapse at the first touch.
Such a contrasting situation makes the rest of my life have to think more.
Huang Yuchen also pondered slightly, looking at the appearance of the defenders before, it was obvious that the rumors had reached the point of flooding, as long as the manager was not a fool, he would definitely stop this rumor at the beginning, and the current situation would never occur. But now this situation has appeared, so it seems that either the managers of the nearby city are fools, or the city has no administrators.
Yu Sheng frowned slightly, glanced at Huang Yuchen, and said, "What are you thinking?"
Huang Yuchen was slightly stunned, and then replied: "It's nothing, I just think that those sergeants outside are a little weird with fear, if you rely on rumors alone, I'm afraid it won't be able to cause such an effect." ”
Yu Sheng nodded lightly, he naturally thought of this, but he couldn't guess why the defenders of Wacheng were so afraid of the East Palace.
"I don't know what happened, we entered Wacheng, we thought there would be a bloody battle, but we didn't want the defenders here to have no combat power, and they were all old and weak soldiers, and there was no elite soldier. The last pass in front of Wufeng City should have been heavily guarded, but now it is like an empty city, which is very strange. Yu Sheng said, pondering slightly, he really couldn't figure out why the enemy did this. Is it to accumulate combat power to defend Wufeng City?
"According to the general's original plan, tomorrow, we can follow the official road of the enclave and enter the Wufeng City Plain. Huang Yuchen said softly: "But now this kind of strange incident in the Wacheng Pass, we have to think about it in the long run." ”
"That's true. Yu Sheng nodded and said: "It is not ruled out that before entering the Wufeng City Plain, there will be a possibility of encountering ambushes on the way, for the sake of caution, we will not take the big road." ”
The two had a brief conversation, and neither of them understood what the situation was, but there were pursuers behind them, and Wufeng City was close at hand, so they could only move forward. At this time, you can only choose the most secure strategy.
"The city is not big, so there shouldn't be any danger today. Yu Sheng said: "You hurry up and repair, and then enter the Wufeng City Plain, waiting for us, I'm afraid it will be a bloody battle." ”
Huang Yuchen sighed lightly, nodded, and then stood up and walked to the back of the front hall.
Generally, after the antechamber of the martial arts, there will be a bedroom for the sergeant to rest, and this kind of bedroom is generally used by people at the level of the city lord or captain. Huang Yuchen walked to the nearest bedroom and pushed the door in.
The furnishings in the house are very simple, Huang Yuchen looked left and right, and saw that there was nothing special in this bedroom, so he walked into the room, sat down cross-legged on the wooden bed.
The situation, he can no longer distinguish now, and when it comes to the last critical moment, both sides will be more nervous. Huang Yuchen can't do anything now, and he can only try to trim himself and fight hard to kill the enemy in the following battles.
Huang Yuchen didn't have the slightest good impression of the enclave, and this kind of place that didn't treat the people as people made him very angry. Although Huang Yuchen wanted to directly enter the enemy camp and kill all his main generals, he did not have the strength and must not do so.
Closing his eyes and running the Dou Qi in his body, Huang Yuchen slowly settled down, and the power of nature in the surrounding air slowly entered his body, through special acupuncture points, entered the meridians, condensed into the Dou Qi viewpoint, converged into the original meridian long river, and disappeared.
After Huang Yuchen entered the back, Yu Sheng also stood up, he found four captains, and gave orders one by one.
Immediately, the back door of Wacheng opened, and the three teams of sergeants galloped away in different directions. There were seven sergeants in each team, and they went in different directions.
There was no resistance at all in Wacheng, which made Yu Sheng very puzzled. However, it is necessary for the troops to advance, so they can only be cautious and send scouts to explore the way forward.
For a strong martial artist like Yu Sheng, a day of galloping on a horse can't consume much physical strength at all, and at this moment, Yu Sheng is full of energy, his heart is disturbed, and he doesn't want to meditate and breathe. After sending out the scouts, he left the martial mansion and looked around in the city.
At this moment, it is already three poles of the sun, and it should be the time when the people are busy, but it is very strange that there are few pedestrians on the streets of Wacheng. Even when he saw pedestrians, he looked hurried, and he didn't dare to look at Yu Sheng, and his steps were fast.
Yu Sheng wore the general's armor and walked down the street, looking at the hurried pedestrians, his brows furrowed slightly.
According to the previous information, there are about more than 10,000 people in Wacheng, which is not a small pass city in Wacheng, which is not a few, but the sun is three poles, and the streets are very deserted, which makes Yu Sheng frown a little.
"This thing looks a little weird, I don't know if it's because of rumors, or if the enemy army deliberately did it, so that the people are hostile to the East Wangfu and can't be integrated. Yu Sheng walked down the street, looking at the closed shops on both sides of the street, thinking a little.
After inspecting the defenses of the two gates in front and back, Yu Sheng returned to the Martial Mansion.
He wanted to grab a few people and ask for clarification, but after thinking about it, he gave up the idea. Originally, the people of Wacheng were very afraid of the soldiers of Dongwangfu, and if they wantonly arrested people again, their negative image would be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
Dongwangfu wants to take the enclave, not to plunder the resources of the enclave, but to use the enclave as a base camp to operate. And the foundation of the great depth of the rear is public opinion.
Yu Sheng thought about it a little, as if he understood the enemy's strategy, whether it was to force the people to go to the battlefield, or to let the rumors overflow, it seemed that they were all aimed at the Eastern Palace. If the negative image of the East Wangfu is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, even if the enclave is really occupied in the future, the people's hearts will not gather, and it will not be able to achieve the expected effect at all.
Thinking of this, Yu Sheng's brows moved slightly, and a trace of essence appeared in his eyes.
