The elderly officer looked at Yu Sheng's appearance and swallowed, gently pushed away the cold blade stuck on his throat a little. Seeing that Yu Sheng and the sergeant holding the knife had nothing to say, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

At this moment, he couldn't help but admire himself. If he hadn't let go of everything at the moment of death and said what he had just said, at this moment, he might have been dragged down and thrown into the wilderness and become the food for beasts.

"General, you may not know anything." After swallowing a saliva, the elderly officer whispered: "In the enclave, it has been unified for a short time. After just experiencing wars, the people were living in poverty. Later, they faced the expanded Qitian Empire, which was the power of the Eastern Prince's Mansion. This made everyone in the enclave self-injury. Later, slowly, the voice of surrendering Qitian came out from time to time. Our leader also had this idea and did not suppress such remarks. Therefore, this time, the Eastern Prince's Mansion sent troops to the enclave to surrender, and within the enclave, they were divided into two factions."

"The main battle is naturally to say that the enclaves cannot be desecrated by others, the dignity of soldiers cannot be trampled on, and the theory that they do not agree with unified enclaves cannot be given up." The elderly soldier said this, sighed softly and continued: "If he can really be as strong as Qi Tian, ​​he will fight, but these people, for their own interests, will push the entire enclave to the battlefield. How can a poor land like the enclave be the opponent of the Qi Tian Empire? Fighting is simply a dream!"

Speaking of this, the older sergeant was a little excited and moved a little harder. The black-armored sergeant behind him immediately grabbed his shoulders so that he could not move. The older sergeant recovered from his emotions and immediately knelt on the ground respectfully, and stopped talking.

Yu Sheng heard this and pondered for a moment. He really didn't know what happened inside the enclave. After a moment, he looked up and asked the elderly soldier: "What are you thinking? Why don't you take the initiative to fight?"

"Oh..." The older soldier sighed immediately after hearing this, and said, "I'm not afraid of the general's joke. I'm afraid, I'm really afraid of fighting." As he said, his eyes were blurred, his tone became more like muttering: "I joined the army at the age of seventeen. I've been in the army this year. I have been fighting on the battlefield for so many years and have seen life and death. Before, when the enclaves were not unified, all the cities were on their own. In order to seize territory and attack each other, I was constantly attacking. At the beginning, I was the most ordinary soldier at the bottom and the leader fought everywhere, and was in danger of danger. Later, the Lord of Wufeng City emerged and had the posture of unifying the entire enclave. Our leader was agile and surrendered to Wufeng City for only one battle. After that, I only had a few years of peace."

"Since Qitian expanded and arrived near the Black Stone Bridge, the enclave began to panic. If it weren't for the Lord Wufeng City, the enclave might have split again at that time. Later, when confronting the East Prince's Mansion, there was a start to fight openly and secretly inside the enclave."

"At that time, I was appointed as a defensive officer in Changxiangcheng. I had more than a dozen people under my command, all of whom were brothers from before. I got married in Changxiangcheng and had children. I thought I could finally live a normal life. Although I was a little poor, I didn't have to worry about losing my life."

"But in order to strengthen the leader's idea of ​​fighting, these pro-war factions often create panic in the enclaves, saying that it was done by the Eastern Palace to stimulate the leader and make him hate the Eastern Palace, hate Qitian, and give up the idea of ​​surrendering."

"I don't remember how many times I've been familiar with it

The man was called by the upper class and never came back. I don’t know how many times he saw the bloody man calling the door to death, and died under the city gate."

"In order to prepare for the war, the taxes are levied higher. The food I planted every year is not enough for the whole family to eat except for the tax. I can only go up the mountain to eat wild game. I don't know how many times I almost died of the mouth of the beast."

"Recently, the leader seemed to have figured it out all of a sudden. He said he wanted to surrender to the Eastern Palace. Maybe because the enclave's ability is really limited, and such high taxes can only support more than 100,000 troops. When I first heard this news, I was extremely glad that if the Eastern Palace really took over the Enclave, our lives would have been much better. But later, it was not like this."

"The subsequent order made all of us gather and wait for an opportunity to act. The order I received was to guard Changxiangcheng and not surrender when I saw the enemy."

"In order to ensure that our front-line soldiers do not surrender, they strive to kill the enemy, the generals responsible for assembling the sergeants forcibly took my wife and children away. I don't know where they are now..."

"General, please ask me why I don't take the initiative to fight... How to fight? What to fight? What to fight? What to fight in our enclaves to fight against the tiger and wolf army of the Eastern Prince's Mansion? We can't even have enough food, how to fight? I don't want to surrender, I just want to live, I just want to keep my family alive, I just want to live..."

"If you don't start a war with the Eastern Prince's Mansion, even if you rely on the Black Stone Bridge, the enclave can hold on for a long time. If the leader orders to appease all living beings, rest and recuperate, and let the long-standing enclave breathe a sigh of relief, then there will be a foundation for dialogue with Qitian."

"But……"

Speaking of this, the elderly officer looked up with tears in his eyes. He looked at the Yu Sheng and said in a trembling voice: "General, can you still survive until now?"

The rest of his life did not speak. He quietly listened to the officer who was over 50 years old and told his story, which made him feel a little moved.

Before this, he had only one attitude towards the enclave, that is, the enemy. He never showed mercy to deal with the enemy for the rest of his life, and would not consider what the enemy thought and what he had experienced.

But now the person in front of him is different. From the beginning, this person seemed to have no desire to fight. He knelt on the ground and cried, just like an old man who lost his relatives, lonely and helpless.

After a while, Yu Sheng sighed softly. He did not answer the officer's order, but whispered: "I won't kill you after doing what you should do."

When the elderly officer heard this, he was slightly stunned. He immediately reacted, reached into his arms, took out a fireworks soaring into the sky, looked at Yu Sheng, and said in a trembling voice: "General, this fireworks are to inform the ambushing troops in the rear. The soldiers of the Dongwang Mansion have entered Changxiang City. When they see this fireworks, they will immediately rush over."

Yu Sheng nodded and said, "I know."

"There are two fireworks in total. Only when they are inspired at the same time will they believe that if only one is inspired, they will think that if the plan is discovered, all the staff will retreat to the city behind. They know that the general's purpose is Wufeng City, and the city along the way is full of soldiers."

After hearing this, Yu Sheng looked at the sergeant beside him. The sergeant stretched forward with one hand, and a fireworks soaring into his hands.

"Stimulate, let them come." Yu Sheng's eyes suddenly changed, his eyes were cold, and he said, "Don't let me go to them one by one, let them think I'm a turtle in the jar, come all over, save yourself

Have my business!"

When the soldiers behind him heard this, they responded softly, picked up fireworks, and nodded in the black-armored cavalry escorting the elderly sergeant. The cavalry relaxed his hands and took the opportunity to pull the elderly sergeant from the ground.

The elderly officer looked at the sergeant holding fireworks, nodded slightly, and the fireworks soared into the sky, and suddenly opened the lead.

"Sher...bang!"

Two loud noises were deafening, and the fireworks that rushed into the sky burst into pieces. The white fire suddenly appeared, forming two white rings in the air, illuminating everything around.

In an instant, the light brought by the fireworks disappeared.

Yu Sheng glanced at the elderly officer and ordered the soldiers next to him: "Go to the city lord's mansion, find a house, lock him up first, and let him go after the battle."

"Thank you, General!" When the elderly officer heard this, he immediately knelt on his knees and kowtowed heavily to Yu Sheng. Then, he was escorted by two soldiers and entered the city lord's mansion in front of him.

Before, two sergeants had searched the entire city. In this city, except for two hundred innocent people and these dilapidated houses, there was no valuable item. I think it was certain that the enemy would not leave anything for them even if they were led into the city.

Yu Sheng had a new view on the entire enclave situation in his heart, but the most important thing at this time was to defend this thin Changxiangcheng.

He didn't know how many people the enemy had ambushed near this place. After investigation, except for the back of the city, there were no traces of the enemy hiding in the other three directions. If the enemy attacked, it would definitely be at the city gate behind.

At this moment, the figure around him moved slightly, and a light red light flashed and landed beside Yu Sheng. Yu Sheng looked closely and found that he was one of the guards he had sent to protect Huang Yuchen before.

Before the attack, Huang Yuchen sent a guard back to report the news he discovered. His news was consistent with the scouts he sent, and Yu Sheng ordered the attack.

At this moment, another person came over, Yu Sheng frowned and asked, "What, is there any news?"

"I just went back to the city lord and went to explore the front and found the enemy's camp. Thirty miles away in the mountain stream, all of which were enemy troops, with about 10,000 people." The guard knelt on one knee and quickly told the news of his investigation.

When Yu Sheng attacked Changxiangcheng, Huang Yuchen had already sent the guard out for investigation. After waiting for a long time, he finally returned and brought this news. Huang Yuchen asked him to tell Yu Sheng that the straight line distance between the mountain and the city was not too far. The guard only took a very short time to reach Changxiangcheng.

"Okay!" Yu Sheng's eyes narrowed when he heard this, and he looked at the guard again, asking, "What's the matter with Deputy General Ma? Are you ready for what he has prepared?"

"Deputy General Ma asked his subordinates to inform the city lord that everything was ready and that everything was foolproof!"

"Okay! So good!" Yu Sheng laughed and said, "Go back again and protect Deputy General Ma. His life is very important, and you must not be careless!"

"Sir, obey the order!" The general agreed, and his whole body turned into a faint red light, flashing and disappearing.

Yu Sheng looked cold and his tone was low, and he shouted softly: "All soldiers, prepare to fight!"

"Ode to the Lord!"
