Chapter 939: Young and Old
Huang Yuchen's heart moved, and he immediately said to Zhuang Lexian beside him: "Go!"
Immediately, the two of them unfolded their bodies and went straight to the depths of the jungle.
After about half a column of incense, deep in the jungle bushes, a group of five feeders were standing in the snow.
And at their feet, lay a corpse.
Huang Yuchen walked a few steps closer and looked down, this was the body of a sergeant, judging from the armor he was wearing, it was a sergeant praying for heaven.
If nothing else, this must be one of the Mingyuan City Divisional Flying Troops.
Huang Yuchen immediately checked the surroundings, but found no other traces, only the corpse of a single person, lying alone in the snow.
His brow furrowed immediately, a little unsure of what was going on.
Zhuang Lexian squatted down, the dead air in his hand rolled out, enveloping the entire dead body, and after a while, Zhuang Lexian got up and said to Huang Yuchen: "It's been two days since I died." ”
Huang Yuchen was stunned when he heard this, two days?
Two days ago, he was still in Ekang City, and Yin Cai had just brought back the troops of Ekang City.
According to the speed of the Shifei army, it is impossible to reach the vicinity of Yifeng City so early, this must be the scout of the Shifei army.
Because Huang Yuchen and the others were walking through the jungle when they were in a hurry, they deliberately avoided the main road, but they did not find any trace of Shi Fei's army.
Therefore, Huang Yuchen estimated that Shi Fei's large army may not have reached the vicinity of Yifeng City.
But this time is a little wrong.
He frowned, and then immediately ordered all the breeders to search in the direction of Zhangyang City along the main road, and report back immediately if they saw the footprints of the dense brigade.
The twenty feeders immediately took the order, while Huang Yuchen crouched down to check the details of the corpse.
This person's face was already blue, frozen by the severe cold weather, his body was extremely stiff, and his eyes were dull, but on the surface, there was no external injury in sight.
"How did he die?" Huang Yuchen turned his head and asked Zhuang Lexian.
Zhuang Lexian shrugged his shoulders and said, "There are no external injuries, I don't know how I died, maybe I froze to death." ”
Huang Yuchen then began to rummage through the contents of the corpse, and found a small package under his armor.
When the package was opened, it was found that the dry rations and jerky of the marching army were found inside, and there was a water bag on the side of the package, which, when opened, was clearly filled with spirits.
To maintain the temperature of the body, jerky and spirits are indispensable for marching in such weather.
Especially for scouts, maybe the liquor is more important than the food. In order to hide their figures, it is impossible for them to light a fire at night, and looking at the situation of people, they have not cultivated themselves.
For ordinary people, it is extremely dangerous to travel through the vast snowfield, so the scouts of the Prayer Troops will be equipped with such supplies when the harsh winter comes, so that they can travel long distances.
"I didn't freeze to death. Huang Yuchen sniffed the liquor in the kettle, there was still most of this liquor left, and it was obvious that he had not been out of the army for long.
It is likely that he died shortly after leaving the unit, inexplicably, and his scout teammates did not care about his body.
"No matter how he died, this must be Shi Fei's person anyway. Zhuang Lexian said: "It may be that he died of illness, or it may be that people were poisoned, is this kind of thing still rare?"
It is indeed possible that the army is also a river and lake, and there are also grievances in it, and it is possible that someone poisoned his food, or killed this person in other ways, and threw his body here.
However, there is also a problem with this statement, if Shi Fei's troops are further behind, this corpse will definitely be found, and when the time comes, it will be inseparable from the people accompanying him.
If it's a vendetta, why not hide it a little deeper?
Besides, almost all the surrounding areas have been searched, except for this corpse, there is no other abnormal situation, and no trace of the scouts of Mingyuan City has been found, what is going on?
Huang Yuchen frowned slightly, he suddenly thought of a possibility.
It is possible that this was done by people in Yifeng City.
They may have discovered the scouts of Mingyuan City a long time ago, so they disguised the city as an empty city and placed a corpse here to deter the enemy army.
The reason why you didn't kill all the scouts here was to pass it on to Shi Fei: We already know your purpose, if you are brave enough, you will attack!
Leaving the corpse and the empty city is likely to cause Shi Fei to stagnate, and its ultimate goal is to delay time.
"This is for Shi Fei, let's go first and erase the traces!" Thinking of this, Huang Yuchen quickly said to Zhuang Lexian, and then jumped up and stood on the trunk of the tree on the side.
Zhuang Lexian was a little unsure, but he also jumped on the tree trunk with Huang Yuchen, and Huang Yuchen encouraged his whole body to push down.
The cold air was pushed, turning into a gust of wind in the small area below, ruffling the snow on the ground and erasing all traces.
After removing the power of the Yang Chakra, looking at the situation below, the sergeant's body was naked, but the traces around it had been completely erased.
"What do you mean?" Zhuang Lexian asked a little unincomprehensibly about Huang Yuchen's approach.
Huang Yuchen immediately told Zhuang Lexian his thoughts, and then said: "If this is the case, the war has actually begun." ”
"Starting from Yifeng City discovering the scouts of Mingyuan City, no, starting from Mingyuan City sending scouts!" Huang Yuchen squinted his eyes, looked at the long-dead sergeant below, and said: "With such a scheming, this general of Yifeng City is not an idle person. ”
"I don't see that you're talking about so many twists and turns, it's too much brain-taking. Zhuang Lexian said disapprovingly: "If it were me and I dared to come to attack my city, I would kill them all, and then put them all here for them to see." ”
"If you have absolute faith, you can do that. Huang Yuchen said softly: "But the current situation in Yifeng City is almost transparent, he can only accommodate so many defenders, and besides, you and I can know about the withdrawal of the main force of the Western Palace, so it can be seen that it is not a secret." ”
"To deter Shi Fei, the most important thing is to attack the heart, and this is the purpose of deliberately setting up these suspicious arrays. Let Shi Fei not be sure whether Yifeng City is an empty city or not, so he hesitated. ”
"How could you hesitate. Zhuang Lexian asked: "Is it an empty city, if you fight it, you will know?"
"It's so easy for you to be a soldier. Huang Yuchen glanced at Zhuang Lexian, he seemed to be a fool.
"The first army to attack the heart, the second to attack the city, the last time to attack the city, the siege has a price, and it is a direct price, before any leader orders the siege, he must think about what may happen later. ”
"If during the siege of the city, the Xiwangfu suddenly comes back to help, Shi Fei may be wiped out. If the defenders of Zhangyang City got the news and came to the rescue, his division might also fall into the embarrassment of being flanked in front and rear, or it would be possible for the whole army to be annihilated. ”
"That's what the defenders of Yifeng City are thinking about now, delaying as much time as possible, so that these conditions are ripe to defeat Mingyuan City Shifei. ”
"You just saw this corpse, and you thought so much?" Zhuang Lexian glanced at Huang Yuchen, and suddenly felt that this kid was a bit like a monster.
He Zhuang Lexian saw an ordinary corpse, but he was dressed neatly, but in Huang Yuchen's eyes, what he saw was the mutual pull of several forces.
Under this simple action, there is so much truth?
"The rest is all speculation, and it is all based on the fact that this corpse was put by the people of Yifeng City. Huang Yuchen said softly: "It may also be wrong, but what Shi Fei is most afraid of is this, whether it was done by Yifeng City or not, Shi Fei will hesitate when he sees this corpse." ”
"If he's coming. Zhuang Lexian said: "If people don't plan to come at all, isn't it in vain?"
"He will definitely come!" Huang Yuchen's eyes were firm, and he said: "Although I don't know what caused him to delay for a day, he will definitely come to this Yifeng City, and it is bound to come." ”
"These means may delay him for a while, but Shi Fei will eventually order an attack, as long as he starts attacking, we still have a chance!"
After Huang Yuchen learned about the defense of Yifeng City and the scouts sent by Mingyuan City, he was even more determined in his thoughts.
may be talent, in this kind of thing, Huang Yuchen is often very sharp-minded, and can guess the thoughts of the people behind him in many details that are easy to ignore.
This is also what Zhuang Lexian admires most about him.
At this age, Huang Yuchen already has such a keen sense of smell, can perceive the minds of others, and has advanced cultivation and already has martial artist combat power, and is also proficient in formations, such a young man is also a top existence in any place.
But the current Huang Yuchen is in such a predicament.
I have to sigh that creation makes people, such a young talent, no wonder so many forces are staring at him.
Zhuang Lexian didn't speak, he just glanced at Huang Yuchen, and sighed a little in his heart.
The mind and courage of a seventeen-year-old boy who can see things so thoroughly, analyze the Tao and dare to act on it alone is rare.
If so many things hadn't happened to Qitian, if it hadn't involved the teleporters and the Spring Lake Yongcheng, maybe Huang Yuchen's road would have been much easier to walk now.
"Let's find a place to hide first, and wait for Shi Fei's army to come. Huang Yuchen said a word to Zhuang Lexian, and then jumped straight up and swept deeper into the bushes.
Zhuang Lexian followed behind Huang Yuchen, he looked at Huang Yuchen's back, and his heart became more and more determined to follow this young man.
"Huang Yuchen, it's really interesting, I want to see how much of a storm you can make. ”
Zhuang Lexian said secretly to himself in his heart, followed behind Huang Yuchen, found a very hidden foot of the mountain, and the two stopped.
"We are small in number, so it's easier to hide. Huang Yuchen whispered to Zhuang Lexian: "It's just that after Shi Fei's men and horses appear, you must not act casually, so as not to startle the snake." ”
"Then when are we going?" Zhuang Lexian asked casually.
"Wait until they have gathered their forces and begun to siege the city. Huang Yuchen said: "Once the momentum is strong, then it will decline, and then it will be exhausted, and we will do it to Shi Fei when they start attacking the city for the second time." ”
"How do you know he's going to hit a second time, maybe he'll take it the first time, or maybe he'll not hit it once. Zhuang Lexian became more and more interested in Huang Yuchen's ideas.
"No, it won't. Huang Yuchen affirmed: "Yifeng City is too important to Shi Fei, but Mingyuan City is equally important to him. ”
"I can't take it the first time, it's because of the foreshadowing that Yifeng City did before, but even if it is so foreshadowing, they are too few in number, and they must not be Shi Fei's opponents, so Shi Fei will definitely fight the second time. ”
"If he fails the second time, Shi Fei will go back to the version division, and he won't be able to bear the greater loss. ”
"You calculated him as if you were directing. ”
Zhuang Lexian looked at Huang Yuchen and laughed softly.
