Chapter 179: Entering the urn
Huang Yuchen's hands were fast and he kept carving the Lihuo Formation. When he heard the rumbling sound of horse hooves on the official road below, he had already completed six complete Lihuo Formation. The arrangement of the formation was no longer directed to the city, but instead turned a little, aiming at a clearing on the back door of the city.
The six complete fire formations were enough to deal with the subsequent battle. Huang Yuchen breathed a sigh of relief, stood up, and looked at the city below.
At this moment, Yu Sheng led the soldiers and rushed all the way to the city gate. He arrived at the city gate. Yu Sheng held up the seal of the enclave leader and asked the city guards to open the door.
Unexpectedly, the door opened.
Two middle-aged men who looked like officers respectfully guarded the door. Yu Sheng was not surprised to see this, so he immediately stepped forward and stopped a few feet in front of them.
The sergeants behind him were in the front row, with a long halberd in his hand, ready to charge at any time. If these two people were not good for the rest of their lives, they would rush up as soon as possible.
In the row behind, holding a long bow, pulling up the bowstrings full, and the arrow feathers shone brightly in front of the moonlight, aiming directly on the city wall.
The two officers looked at each other, hesitated to step forward, and knelt on one knee in front of the horse of the rest of their lives.
"The guard of Changxiangcheng, see the general." The two shouted in unison, holding their fists.
Yu Sheng lowered his head slightly, looked at the two kneeling in front of him, his face was as deep as water, and said softly: "What, are you the only two of you in Changxiangcheng?"
"Return to General." An old officer replied in a low voice: "There are 200 guards in the city, and they have given up all resistance at this moment. We have been waiting for the general here for a long time."
"Oh?" Yu Sheng raised his eyebrows and asked, "Have you been waiting for me for a long time?"
"That's right!" Another officer said: "The leader gave an order to wait for the generals along the way of Wufeng City. When he saw the leader's seal, he would see himself. I have been ordered to wait for the general here for more than three days."
"It's been three days." Yu Sheng repeated the man's words softly, then lowered his head and asked, "Have there been only two hundred defenders in your city? What about the others?"
"Return to General." said the older officer: "After receiving the order from the city lord, the rest of the defenders have rushed to Wufeng City. In order to welcome the general, they have arranged surrounding defenses."
"Okay, okay." Yu Sheng said with a smile: "In this way, let all the two hundred people in your city come out and stand before the city gate."
"Yes!" When the two heard this, they shouted immediately, and were about to get up.
"I'll let you go, you, continue to kneel." Yu Sheng lowered his head and glared at the older officer. This sentence scared the two of them to be stunned. The two quickly looked at each other. The middle-aged officer clasped his fists and turned around and entered the city gate, while the older officer continued to kneel in front of Yu Sheng's horse.
"First brigade, come forward and guard the city gate." Yu Sheng turned slightly and whispered to order from behind. Nearly a thousand soldiers from the first brigade who had been on standby behind immediately stepped forward, one group of them entered the city gate, and one group stayed outside the city gate, causing the entire city gate to be defensive.
During this process, Yu Sheng kept looking at the elderly officer kneeling on the ground in front of him. The man kept lowering his head. Yu Sheng could not see his face, but he could learn about his breath fluctuations with his powerful perception.
During the process of the First Brigade occupying the city gate, the aura of the elderly officer fluctuated greatly, up and down, and it was obvious that he had hidden something from the rest of his life.
And I know the hidden things for the rest of my life.
After a while, the middle-aged officer who had entered the city gate had walked out with two hundred unarmed soldiers and stood neatly in front of the city gate. Behind them were black armored cavalry with murderous aura. Each soldier's face was filled with deep fear, and some people's legs were trembling from time to time. But none of them escaped. Everyone stood in front of the city gate, waiting for the rest of their lives to speak.
"Return to General." The middle-aged officer stepped forward, knelt on one knee, clasped his fists with his hands, and said, "Two hundred defenders in Changxiangcheng, two officers, are all here. Please give me a lecture."
Yu Sheng looked around the two hundred enclave soldiers in front of him. Although they were wearing armor and steel helmets, they did not look like they should have the heroic spirit of soldiers. Instead, in front of Yu Sheng, everyone was trembling. Several of them were even shaking like sieves and could hardly stand. These people were obviously not soldiers, but ordinary people.
Seeing this, Yu Sheng smiled slightly, but showed no expression. He looked at the two officers kneeling in front of him and said, "You are disarming very quickly."
"Since I received the order, I was disarmed immediately and waited for the general to arrive." The elderly officer returned in a deep voice.
"Okay!" Yu Sheng laughed and turned around and ordered: "Everyone, come to the city!"
When the black armored cavalry behind him heard this, they immediately lined up and slowly walked into the city, bypassing Yu Sheng's position, but Yu Sheng was motionless. Without Yu Sheng's orders, the two officers who fell down in front of him did not dare to move.
"As for these two hundred disarmed soldiers, let's disband on the spot." The black-armored Iron Cavalry was entering the city. Yu Sheng looked at the two hundred people who were already scared and bloodless in front of him. When these people heard this, they felt relieved and knelt down and bowed their heads to Yu Sheng. When all the soldiers had entered the city, these people immediately followed behind and entered the city, and then scattered birds and beasts.
At this moment, the first brigade of soldiers was still guarding the city gate and had no incision.
"Two generals, please come to the city with me." Yu Sheng whispered to the two officers in front of him, without looking back, and rode his horse straight into the city.
The two officers looked at each other, and they saw a hint of excitement in each other's eyes.
He immediately stood up and followed Yu Sheng's war horse and entered Changxiang City.
Entering the city, Yu Sheng sighed secretly.
This Changxiangcheng is really a remote place. There is no tall building in the city. All the buildings are one floor, and there are few blue bricks. Most of them are made of wood. Although the road is wide, it is completely dirt road. Looking forward, you can see the city wall on the other side at a glance.
Although there are shops on both sides of the street, they look extremely simple and there is no good thing. The streets are very dirty, with leftover food residues, domestic garbage, worn-out clothes, and thrown everywhere.
It seems that this place has gone through a retreat not long ago. At this moment, the city is bleak and the city is empty and there are not many people.
Seeing this, Yu Sheng said nothing and walked straight along the main street. In front of him was the only building in the city that I could see before. This place should be the lord's mansion of this city.
After Yu Sheng entered the city gate, the remaining soldiers of the First Battalion entered the city behind Yu Sheng and quickly closed the city gate. A small number of them followed Yu Sheng to continue to move forward. Most of the soldiers of the First Battalion immediately climbed the city wall and prepared to defend.
They are veterans of war and do not require the rest of their lives.
Naturally, I know what I need to do after occupying an empty city.
The first brigade quickly occupied the city wall, which surprised the two officers who followed Yu Sheng, but they did not show any performance.
Yu Sheng rode his horse and came to the gate of the city lord's mansion. Both sides of the main street were occupied by black armored iron cavalry.
Yu Sheng stopped the war horse, looked at the soldiers in front of him, and immediately ordered loudly: "The first brigade, guard the city wall when he came, the second brigade is responsible for leaving the city wall, the third and fourth brigades, quickly searching the entire city to ensure that there is no accident."
The order was issued, and no one replied, but all the soldiers immediately started to move and quickly arranged according to the arrangement of the rest of their lives.
Nearly a thousand soldiers of the second brigade stopped their horses under the city wall, immediately climbed up the city wall behind the city and quickly began to lay them out. The other two brigades of soldiers immediately began to patrol the entire city, knocked on each house, and searched in the city.
Yu Sheng's order changed the faces of the two officers. He immediately knelt on one knee and asked Yu Sheng loudly: "General, what do you mean?"
"What do you mean?" Yu Sheng smiled and said, "The border is in need, leaving me an empty city. You two coax me into the city and let the people in the city act as soldiers guarding the city. Do you really think I am stupid?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Yu Sheng's red fighting spirit surged out, and suddenly turned into a red flash and disappeared on the horse's back. The next moment, the two officers felt a chill in their necks. Yu Sheng appeared behind them, and there were two short knives in their hands, which were proportional to their necks.
The cold blade stimulated all the senses of the two of them, and their hair stood upright. The two were stunned on the spot and did not dare to move.
"You can only move when I let you move the fireworks in your hands. Do you understand?" Yu Sheng's tone was cold, and the two officers who heard it were as if they were falling into an ice cave, and immediately nodded slightly. A short knife on their necks emitted a little cold light. With a gentle movement, the two of them would die on the spot.
The Third and Fourth Brigade quickly searched the small city. Only two hundred people were found in the city, and these two hundred people were the two hundred who had served as soldiers before. At this moment, they were all taken to the city lord's mansion and knelt down one after another.
"Sir! We were forced!"
"If we don't pretend to be soldiers, our family will be dead!"
"Sir! Give up your life, sir! We were forced!"
Two hundred people knelt in front of the city lord's mansion, and wailed everywhere for a while, especially when they saw that the two officers had been restrained by the rest of their lives, and the fact that they pretended to be soldiers had obviously been discovered by the other party. The emotions hidden in their hearts immediately burst out and they cried bitterly.
There were people kneeling in front of him, and everyone was wailing. Yu Sheng frowned when he heard this. He winked at the sergeant beside him. He immediately stepped forward, pulled out the long swords from his waist, and subdued the two officers for Yu Sheng.
"Stop quarrel!" After handing over the two officers, Yu Sheng immediately roared. The sound was strengthened by the fighting spirit, like thunder. After the roar, the two hundred people in front of him immediately stopped howling and looked at Yu Sheng, with fear in his eyes.
"One comes out and tell me what's going on." The city lord's mansion calmed down again, and Yu Sheng spoke.
Among the two hundred people, a middle-aged man stood up, knelt on his knees, walked forward a few steps, and reached the front, his voice was crying, and he said to Yu Sheng: "Sir, make the decision for us, we are all forced!"
