Chapter 34: The Breaking of the City

Between Laiyun City and the Wolf's Tooth, there is a huge plain, called the North Pastoral Plain, and the once lush grassland has become barren in the chaos of war and displacement. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

And on such a barren plain, there is a team still running.

They were stout, bare-chested and shoulder-barre, with some strange ornamentation.

The three of them rode a fierce beast that no one had ever seen before.

"Princess. This trip is high and the road is long. The clansmen are already exhausted, and they are afraid of forcibly attacking the city at this time...", the tall man on the left said with some hesitation.

"Time is pressing, and the Terrans will not expect us to attack the city directly, this time we will definitely be able to take Laiyun City if we are not prepared. The girl in the middle said this, but her brow furrowed, and it made people feel that even she herself had little confidence in her words.

The tall man's brows furrowed, he also knew that time was pressing, but forcibly attacking the city would outweigh the losses. But because of the worry in the girl's heart, she didn't say a word of opposition after all.

But at this moment, the man in the black robe to the right of the girl suddenly let out a disgusting hoarse laugh.

"Princess and General Mo, my Nine Infant Department has already inserted a dark line in Laiyun City, and this trip will be unhindered!"

Zhenxiguan hurriedly ascended to the top of Laiyun City, and he frowned as he looked at the beacon fire that was burning brightly. Asked aloud, "Who told you to light the beacon fire?"

Several soldiers on the beacon tower were full of anger on their faces, and they all stood aside resignedly, bowing their heads and not daring to respond.

Zhenxiguan's brows furrowed even deeper, and he was about to reprimand the soldiers, but at that moment, a rickety figure slowly walked up.

"General Zhen, don't be anxious. It was the beacon I commanded them to light. "That's the old lady of Laiyun City. He was quite old, and he was a little trembling when he walked, and he needed the support of an attendant to climb the high walls of Laiyun City.

"There is information from the scouts in front, saying that the barbarian army is approaching, and it looks like it should be coming straight to Laiyun City, and I lit the beacon fire, but also to let General Nan and General Gu bring troops to help, and it will be a matter of joint attack inside and outside!" The old man said, perhaps because he had just walked through such a long staircase, his voice was a little faint and a little intermittent.

After listening to the old man's explanation, the expression on Zhen Xiguan's face did not relax at all, and after staring at the old man for a long time, he turned his head to look at the soldiers, and said in a cold voice: "Put out the beacon fire! From now on, without my order, who is vainly mobilizing troops and horses, will not be allowed to be killed!"

The guard beside the old man was not angry and was about to go up to argue with him, but the old man shook his head and stopped him.

"City Lord, this barbarian army is coming, why don't you recall the prince and the trapped-camp in Xitoubao! This town Xiguan treats you like this, it is clearly a personal vendetta and harboring evil intentions!" The guard was puzzled.

The old man shook his head again and said, "What happened back then, it was my Yuan family who was disappointed by God..." But no one noticed that before leaving, a bloody light flashed in the old man's eyes.

West Castle.

The 700 soldiers under the trapping camp and Yuan Dongkun had been assembled, but the beacon fire that was burning was suddenly extinguished.

If the beacon is burning, it means that the enemy army is approaching and asks for support.

However, this beacon fire was suddenly extinguished again, but what did it mean?

Su Changan couldn't help but be a little puzzled, could it be that Zhenxiguan had already defeated the enemy army, or had the barbarian army completely broken through Laiyun?

Neither of these conditions should have happened in such a short period of time.

So what happened to Lai Yun?

Su Changan is unknown.

But at this moment, Gu Yalang, who was dressed in armor, was slowly walking over with a piece of letterhead.

"General, the scouts have sent in. With that, Gu Yalang handed the letter in his hand to Su Changan.

Su Changan hurriedly took the letter and swept the contents on it, and then frowned.

The content of the letter is roughly that the barbarian army is still on the road and has not yet attacked the city. It's just that because of the night and the fact that their night crows are cruising around, they don't dare to get too close, but they just take a general look, and the barbarian army is about five thousand, and most of them are strong, and they should be the elite of the elite.

Su Changan put away the letter, turned his head to look at Gu Yalang, and asked what he meant.

Gu Yalang also groaned slightly, and after a while, he said: "The barbarian army arrived in Laiyun a few days faster than we thought, they must have accelerated their march, and after leaving Langya Mountain, they attacked Laiyun non-stop. In this way, the soldiers must have been exhausted, and Laiyun City was no better than the West Fortress, where the walls were thick and high, and it was not easy to take it. I guess the town god general is also aware of this, so he extinguished the beacon fire, wanting us to lead the troops and strike again at a more critical moment, cutting off the back road of the barbarians, and forming a front and rear attack. ”

When Su Changan heard this, he also secretly felt reasonable. Now the situation of the barbarian army is unknown, and Laiyun City has also extinguished the beacon fire, obviously they don't need to attack now, rash action, not only can't help, but also affect the plan of Zhenxi Pass, so standing still is the best choice now.

"Yes. Su Changan nodded, and then said to Gu Yalang: "General Gu, you let the scouts probe again, although it is to report the situation ahead, my side will rectify the soldiers and be ready to attack at any time!"

"Okay!" Gu Yalang nodded, then turned to leave.

Such a decision will naturally have different reactions in the ears of different people.

For example, those soldiers in the trapped camp were already afraid to go to the battlefield, so they naturally breathed a sigh of relief.

But the soldiers from Laiyun City began to be dissatisfied, after all, most of them were natives of Laiyun City, their parents, wives and children were all in Laiyun City, and now the barbarian army was about to attack the city, how could they call the shots, and all kinds of dissatisfied voices sounded for a while.

Even that Yuan Dongkun came out of the crowd at this moment, and said to Su Changan: "There are relatives such as me among General Laiyun, and I ask the general to think twice about going to help." ”

Laiyun City is too late to have a son, so he naturally loves Yuan Dongkun, and Yuan Dongkun has a very good relationship with his father, and now that his father is in Laiyun, he is naturally anxious as a son.

But before Su Changan could reply, there were bursts of scolding from the trapped camp.

"If you want to die, you will go by yourself, why do you want to pull us!"

"Yes, you can guard your wives and children, what does it have to do with us!"

As soon as these remarks began, the soldiers in Laiyun City naturally couldn't sit still, and began to scold the soldiers in the trapped camp, and for a while there was a lot of noise in the army, and the two sides fought for each other.

Just when Su Changan's face was about to attack, the beard in the crowd suddenly walked out and shouted: "What is the noise! General Nan said that he was leading troops to wait for battle! If you rush forward now, not only will you not be able to help, but it will ruin General Zhen's strategy! And you! You are all as cowardly as dogs! What kind of man does you look like! If anyone dares to say anything like that, General Nan will not be allowed to speak, and I will behead you on the spot!"

I have to say that Hu Bu is a veteran who has been in the military field for many years, and he said it with a lot of energy, and gave a hammer on both sides, and finally calmed down the infighting.

But the infighting had only stopped for a quarter of an hour, and Gu Yalang's figure appeared in front of everyone again.

Unlike the last time, this time, he walked fast, with undisguised anxiety and haste in his expression.

"Oh no! The scout came with the news that Laiyun City had been broken and the barbarian army had entered the city!"
