Chapter Two Hundred and Twenty: The Fire of Hatred
Facing the hazy night, Deputy General Cui Chi, led 16,000 cavalrymen, bypassed the enemy's camp and went deep into the enclave. Following the official road, he headed straight to Wufeng City.
After Sha Shaoyuan sent the letter, he was calm. In any case, the enemy before the city wall did not attack, which was a blessing in disguise. If such a number of enemy troops really attacked the Black Stone City Wall, it would be really difficult to defend with the previous six thousand soldiers.
Now, reinforcements from the Eastern Prince's Mansion have arrived, with more than 30,000 soldiers defending the city. Even if the enemy attacks now, Sha Shaoyuan is no longer afraid.
One day, peace and nothing happened.
The people of Baiyuan City did not even notice that the city had changed hands. During the whole day, the rest of their lives were in peace.
As night approached, all the soldiers gathered in front of the Wu Mansion. At this time, the people in Baiyuan City suddenly appeared. The soldiers in the Wu Mansion had changed at some point, and they ran back home like they ran away, staying behind closed doors.
The two hundred people who followed Yu Sheng's troops to Baiyuan City have been resettled and temporarily lived in Baiyuan City. After the war has subsided, they will return to Changxiang City. As for their families, Yu Sheng can do nothing.
The soldiers under his command were full of plans, with more than 2,700 people. Even if these soldiers alone could reach Wufeng City, the Yu Sheng was not sure how much effect they could have. He also had no energy to take care of others.
After a day of renovation, all the soldiers were full of energy, and the minor injuries suffered by the body were almost recovered with the assistance of healing medicine, which basically did not affect their movements. Yu Sheng and Huang Yuchen stood in front of the gate of the Martial Palace and turned over. Yu Sheng waved his hand, and all the soldiers got on the horse neatly and headed straight to the back door of Baiyuan City.
Yu Sheng's troops quickly left Baiyuan City, and all the people looked surprised.
Of course they knew that the army of the Eastern Prince's Mansion entered the enclave. The entire enclave entered a state of combat. In Baiyuan City, many young and middle-aged people were forcibly pulled to join the army.
It is rumored that the army of the Eastern Palace killed people like Ma, and had no mercy on the people in the enclaves, and was a despicable and shameless invaders. The soldiers of the Eastern Palace were portrayed as demons like Ma, with no humanity at all.
But the rumors are worse than seeing it. The soldiers of the Eastern Palace Mansion who entered Baiyuan City today were the soldiers of the Eastern Palace. They had clearly occupied Baiyuan City, but they did not hear any shouts of killing last night. Everything went silently, so after a day, no one realized that Baiyuan City had changed hands. When the Eastern Palace army retreated, they suddenly realized it.
However, the army of the Eastern Prince's Mansion entered Baiyuan City without disturbing any of the people, nor did they burn, kill, looting, but just silently repaired and left quietly. This was a far cry from the rumored demon army.
The news that the Eastern Prince's Mansion occupied Baiyuan City spread like wildfire and was spreading among the people. The people were talking about it, and they all felt that the rumors could not be believed.
After Yu Sheng's troops retreated, a brave people entered the Baiyuan City Martial Palace. In the dungeon, the imprisoned Baiyuan City defenders appeared, and all the defenders were released. The people received news that the Baiyuan City defenders were captured by the Eastern Palace, but no one was killed.
Now, the rumors about the East Prince's Mansion have been self-defeating. None of the people in Baiyuan City believe the previous rumors about the East Prince's Mansion.
At night, Shen Tuyan led a large group of troops to Baiyuan City. At this time, all the defenders of Baiyuan City had returned, and Shen Tuyan successfully entered the city.
Under Shen Tuyan's inquiry, no soldier mentioned the incident of being captured last night. Everyone said that they had never seen the army of the Eastern Prince's Mansion.
They said this with two meanings. First, if they did not even resist at all, they would be taken down by the Eastern Palace by the Eastern Palace, and Shen Tuyan knew that none of the thousand soldiers guarding the city would be spared and would definitely be executed by military law. Secondly, it was also because the Eastern Palace army entered the Northern Palace, and did not kill a defender or disturb a commoner.
For his own wealth and life, he was also grateful to the army of the Dongwang Mansion. All the soldiers guarding the city, including the acting city lord, kept their mouths closed and kept silent about the affairs of the Dongwang Mansion army.
Shen Tuyan frowned slightly. None of the nearly a thousand defenders saw the soldiers of the Eastern Prince's Mansion, and he absolutely did not believe this. Although he was arrogant, he was definitely not stupid. He followed the war horse hoof prints along the way. If the Eastern Prince's Mansion army had not entered Baiyuan City, it would be absolutely impossible.
Therefore, Shen Tuyan used cruel means to target every soldier guarding the city. In the end, someone finally couldn't bear it and revealed what happened to him last night.
What happened next seemed natural.
Shen Tuyan killed all the defenders overnight, leaving no one left, and the charge given was to surrender to the enemy.
After killing thousands of defenders, Shen Tuyan did not allow all soldiers to rest, so he immediately set out and followed the official road to pursue Yu Sheng's troops again.
After this incident, all the people in Baiyuan City saw it, but they dared not speak out.
In Shen Tuyan's army, a large number of soldiers were heartbroken when they saw this scene.
The seeds of hatred that have long been buried in the heart took root and sprouted in the heart after this scene.
Yu Sheng led his troops and galloped straight to the next city, knowing nothing about Baiyuan Chengsheng behind him.
Huang Yuchen rode on the horse and followed Yu Sheng. The strange events and secret old man he encountered in the Martial Palace of Baiyuan City had troubled him for a long time and made him think for a long time. But in the end, he did not analyze the reason. The old man who suddenly appeared did not do anything to him, so he simply put it aside and stopped thinking about it.
However, the strange state he suddenly entered before, and his inexplicable emotional venting still shocked Huang Yuchen.
He had never heard of any kind of magic or formation that could control other people's emotions. If such magic really exists, it would be learned and used in the court, and it would be terrifying to think about it carefully.
The night is getting deeper.
The black-armored iron cavalry rode on the black horse and galloped along the official road of the enclave. Under the bright moonlight, it flashed quickly on the road like a fast-moving dragon.
After leaving Changxiangcheng, I have never encountered any obstacles along the way. Yu Sheng’s plan was very successful. The enclave sergeant who blocked the black armored iron cavalry was now left far behind.
Going forward, we arrived at the last pass city before Wufeng City. According to the arrangements of the rest of our lives, if nothing unexpected happens, the city ahead has been taken down by several captains.
After galloping all night, when fish belly white appeared in the east, the black-armored iron cavalry team came to a city.
The city wall is not high, only about six or seven feet away. On both sides of the city, the mountains are towering. The entire city wall is sandwiched between the mountains, only one mile square.
Yu Sheng ordered the troops to stand on time, and he rode his horse forward, and when he arrived at the city, he looked up and looked up. The light was very dark and it was not appropriate to see. But after a moment, the city gate opened with a creak, and a black shadow flashed in front of Yu Sheng and knelt on one knee.
"General, the matter has been completed, please let the general enter the city." The person who came was none other than the captain of the second team of the Black Armored Iron Cavalry.
Yu Sheng glanced at the captain and asked softly: "How many defenders and people are there in the city?"
"This is a small city. There are only more than 200 defenders in the city, and there are no monks. There are less than 10,000 people. At this moment, this city has been taken down and we are just waiting for the general to come." The captain replied in a low voice.
Upon hearing this, Yu Sheng nodded, waved behind him, signaling all the soldiers behind him to enter the city, and under the guidance of the captain, he entered the city.
Huang Yuchen walked at the front of the team. He looked at the somewhat dilapidated city in front of him, followed Yu Sheng and slowly entered the city. Before entering the corridor of the city, Huang Yuchen looked up and saw that the name of the city was written above the city gate: Wacheng.
"The name of this city is really appropriate. There are towering mountains on both sides. The place where this city is located is really like a depression." Huang Yuchen thought to himself, following Yu Sheng and entering the city.
The city of Wa is just a pass, and cannot even be called a city. It is built in danger and is a checkpoint used to resist the invasion of the outside world. It is also an affiliated city of Wufeng City, within the sphere of influence of Wufeng City.
There is no mansion in the city, and there are few shops on both sides. The dirt road in the middle seems a bit dilapidated, but it is also paved with bluestone. This should be the road to mobilize troops.
On both sides of the road, except for a small number of shops, there are large areas of ordinary houses, which should be the residences of ordinary people.
Wacheng is different from Changxiangcheng. Wacheng is just a pass, and most of the people living in it are the families of soldiers stationed here, as well as some ordinary people who serve the troops. Almost no one in this city relies on farming for a living, and all the supplies come from Wufeng City.
After entering the city, Huang Yuchen looked back at the not-too-high city wall behind him and thought to himself: How can such a pass play a role in defending against foreign enemies?
The city of Wacheng covers an area of not much, only a few miles in square footage. Without going far forward, we reached the center of the city, and it is also the only building in the city that can be seen in the past, Wacheng Martial Arts Mansion.
The Martial Palace is generally used to station soldiers guarding the city. The general Martial Palace can accommodate thousands of soldiers to enter at the same time. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a military camp.
Yu Sheng rode his horse to the gate of the Wu Mansion. When he saw that the gate of the Wu Mansion was open, he turned over and dismounted and entered the Wu Mansion. Huang Yuchen followed Yu Sheng and entered the Wu Mansion. The other soldiers were on standby, and without Yu Sheng's orders, they would not act without permission.
After entering the Martial Palace, I saw a crowd of people kneeling in the square before the front hall of the Martial Palace. Looking around, there were at least hundreds of people. Some of them were dressed in disheveled clothes and some were wearing armor. But the same thing was that everyone was dejected and looked fearful.
In the front hall, the two of them stood with their hands behind their backs, with a serious expression. They looked at the people kneeling in front of them. When they saw Yu Sheng coming, they immediately stepped forward and knelt on one knee in front of Yu Sheng.
"The last general, I have seen the general." The two said in unison. These two were the other two captains secretly sent out by Yu Sheng. At this point, all four captains of the Black Armored Iron Cavalry returned to the team.
Yu Sheng nodded gently, raised his hand slightly, signaled the two of them to get up, tilted their heads, with the intention of inquiring.
Seeing this, a captain immediately said: "These defenders are all old, weak and disabled soldiers without force. The three of us gave up their weapons and surrendered with some means. I ordered them to kneel in the front hall of the martial arts palace and wait for the general to come and fall together."
"I see these people looking scared. What's the reason?" Yu Sheng turned around and looked at the enemy soldiers kneeling beside him and asked softly.
"Hehe." Another captain smiled softly and replied: "I don't know where they heard from us. They thought that the people in the Eastern Prince's Mansion were all murderous demons. In addition, we all used fighting spirit, so we were scared."
When Huang Yuchen heard this, he frowned slightly and looked at the soldiers in front of him, feeling a little surprised.
