Chapter 398: Wandering Again
In order to enter the city as soon as possible, in case there is a change in the city, and in order to boost the morale of the soldiers entering the city and improve their combat effectiveness, Chen Yang used spiritual power in advance, releasing countless paper figures, coupled with the yin wind, turned into a terrifying yin soldier.
The patrolling soldiers raised the alarm, but did not wake the soldiers who were lying on the ground, they had been fighting for a day, and with the siege of the city, they relaxed their vigilance, and were now in a state of deep sleep.
Heizi took a thousand soldiers, carrying a sledgehammer, and opened the way in front, and when those soldiers woke up from their sleep, the six thousand soldiers led by Chen Yang pulled the grain and had already reached their middle.
The extremely fierce battle began, and the 4,000 soldiers around the grain transportation team rushed forward quickly to protect the grain.
The soldiers of all nations in front of them saw the overwhelming Yin soldiers in the dark night, all of them were terrified and cold, where did they dare to resist, and they began to retreat in a swarm, and tens of thousands of elite soldiers were scattered and trampled seriously.
The military situation quickly reached the ears of General Han, and as soon as he organized the army to prepare to intercept it, he was stopped by the defenders who rushed out of Pengcheng, and the four gates in the dark were full of defenders rushing out of Pengcheng, and the shouting of killing was terrifying.
Under the cover of night, the team led by Chen Yang approached the east city gate, and one after another burning arrows rose into the night sky, and the defenders of Pengcheng retreated rapidly, and the defenders of the city began to fire ten thousand arrows at the city after seeing the second wave of burning arrows rise into the air, blocking the pursuers of all countries.
After an hour's rapid sneak attack, General Han's soldiers lost a lot of money, until Chen Yang had transported a large amount of grain into the city, and General Han sighed helplessly.
He didn't expect that Chen Yang's large army was hidden under his nose, and he dared to go out of the defenders in Pengcheng, and entered the city with the gates open in all directions, so he simply didn't take his 200,000 army in his eyes.
The Mandate of Heaven is very ten, General Han looked at the dead corpses under the walls of Pengcheng, and ordered the soldiers to retreat and no longer attack the city, and the defenders of Pengcheng who have no food and grass can hold on, not to mention that now that there is food, their morale must be high, they retreat in the city to defend it, and they will not be able to get any benefit from fighting again.
The secret letter of the king was also sent to General Han, saying that he had received news from the capital of the Han Empire, and that Prime Minister Zhou Cheng's suggestion to the Son of Heaven was to let the two tigers of Wanguo and Zhang Chuguo fight, and they just sat on the mountain to watch the tiger fight and reap the benefits of the fisherman.
At the same time, General Han was ordered to guard his strength, besiege Pengcheng without attacking, and wait for the opportunity to recover Pengcheng. Wan Wang asked General Han to lead most of the soldiers back to defend Wancheng, and he wanted to go to the capital of the Han Empire to meet the Son of Heaven.
Faced with the situation of losing troops and losing generals, General Han had to leave 50,000 elite soldiers to push across the big river outside the west gate to stop, so as not to let the defenders of Pengcheng enter the west and endanger Wancheng of all countries, and the rest of the soldiers returned to defend Wancheng to ensure the safety of the city and the stability of the city when Wanwang was not in Wancheng.
Seeing General Han's withdrawal, the soldiers in Pengcheng rejoiced, with grain and grass, and without the pressure of the army, after more than 20 days of fighting, Pengcheng finally calmed down.
But the good times didn't last long, the princes and kings of Zhang Chu, that is, the father of Princess Mingyue, sent his henchman Chu Qing to give an order, let Mingyue return to Zhang Chuguo, release the prince of Chu, and let him be the lord of Pengcheng and guard Pengcheng.
Faced with her father's order, Mingyue reluctantly released Prince Chu from the dungeon and handed over the position of city lord and military power to him again.
In order to protect herself and protect the lives of Chen Yang and others, Mingyue knew the consequences of releasing Prince Chu, so she followed Chen Yang's advice, put Chu Qing, the general who came to give orders, and left Pengcheng a day early.
Prince Chu came out of the dungeon and regained control of the army, wanting to kill Mingyue and Chen Yang and others again, but Mingyue had already left Pengcheng for a day. The enraged Prince of Chu immediately sent Chu Qing to lead 10,000 horses in pursuit, and he wanted to kill them all no matter what.
Princess Mingyue, escorted by Chen Yang, Heizi and the disciples of the Eight Hundred Heaven and Earth Sect, left Pengcheng and headed for Zhang Chuguo's royal city. Princess Mingyue, who was in a low mood along the way, had a gloomy face, which made all the generals accompanying her also depressed, and no one dared to speak.
Pengcheng is only 600 miles away from Zhang Chuguo's royal city, and it will only take ten days to reach the royal city at most, but Mingyue was depressed and stopped and stopped, so she delayed the trip.
Chen Yang knew that Prince Chu would not give up and would definitely send troops to chase and kill, so he arranged a probe horse on the road to keep abreast of the news of the pursuing soldiers.
When passing through a high mountain called Wolong Mountain, Chen Yang told Mingyue about the pursuit of the prince of Chu behind.
Mingyue was even more chilled when he heard this, he knew what kind of person Prince Chu was, and he knew that he could do such a thing without thinking about it.
Fortunately, he followed Chen Yang's advice and put General Chu Qing, who was under house arrest, otherwise, it is unknown whether he would be able to get out of Pengcheng.
"What are your plans? You want to ambush them in Wolong Mountain, do you still have to kill each other?" asked Mingyue.
He knew that Chen Yang must have an idea, otherwise he wouldn't have told him the situation at this time. In order to survive, there is only one way to repel the pursuers, not to mention that they have a team of less than a thousand people here, and the pursuers are ten times as many as them.
"No, let's find a place in the mountains to hide, send a small group of people to dress up as you and me, and quickly advance towards the royal city, and when we arrive in the royal city, we will disperse and hide, waiting for the arrival of Her Royal Highness the princess, and when we arrive in the royal city, it should be safe." Chen Yang said.
"It's best not to kill each other, who will go to the royal city in disguise as you and me?" Mingyue heard that she didn't kill people, and she felt a little more relaxed and asked.
"I think about it this way, whether it will work or not will have to be decided by Her Royal Highness the princess in the end. Chen Yang said.
"Tell me about your plans!" Mingyue said.
"Let the three guards of rain, thunder, and lightning lead most of the people to the royal city, and I, Heizi, Qinglong, Xuanwu, Suzaku and others, will lead about a hundred people to escort the princess, and the three guards are in the light, and we are in the dark. Chen Yang said.
"This can't be done, there are too few of you, if something happens to Her Royal Highness the Princess, how can I get back to the King of Chu?" said the rain guard.
"Escort Yu, do you think that our eight hundred can withstand the ten thousand elite soldiers of Prince Chu?" Chen Yang asked.
"I know that the Lord of the Chen Sect is resourceful and has super spiritual power, and he can let Her Royal Highness the princess take risks, but I still don't feel at ease. The rain guard said.
"As long as you are fast and don't let Prince Chu's pursuers catch up, when you arrive at the royal city, you are scattered and hidden, and Her Royal Highness the princess will have nothing to do. Chen Yang said.
"Escort Yu, just obey Chen Yang's arrangement! I don't want to go to Wangcheng so soon, my father is too indulgent to Prince Chu, and Pengcheng will have to be destroyed in his hands sooner or later. I happened to be walking around, with Chen Yang's protection, and I was a wandering called Huazi, what are you afraid of?" Mingyue said.
"Then we will accompany Her Royal Highness the princess to be called Hanako again!" Kuroko smiled.
