Chapter 369: Entering the camp

When Ye Guan approached the Zhu'an City, he saw the thick smoke rising in the distance in the afterglow of the sun that was about to fall. It must be the situation on the battlefield of Zhu'an City.

Ye Guan frowned, accelerated his pace, and passed the road as fast as possible, heading straight to the temporary military camp in front of Zhu'an City.

When I saw the military camp from afar, I found that the military camp was on guard at this moment. Even though this direction was not the area where the enemy attacked, all the soldiers were still eyeing each other. Each of the soldiers responsible for the defense of the camp was fully armed, and four crossbowmen were occupied on the sentry towers on both sides. This was the alert for combat.

Before Ye Guan flew to the barracks, he slowed down and walked towards the barracks step by step. It was not that he was unable to enter the barracks without anyone noticing, but that doing so would be of no benefit to the war.

The sergeant standing on the mail tower soon found Ye Guan paced alone, and immediately issued an alarm. All the sergeants responsible for the guards in front of the battalion immediately entered combat readiness, and the sword was unsheathed and the bow was stern. The sergeant captain responsible for the guards stood after resisting the horse, holding a long sword in his hand and looking at Ye Guan. After Ye Guan walked a few steps, he could see clearly that this was a half-bian in a long robe. His brow frowned slightly and he didn't think about this person at all. He immediately said loudly: "Stop, go ahead, shoot the crossbow!"

Ye Guan immediately stopped when he heard this, looked up at the soldiers in front of him, nodded slightly, looking at the appearance of these soldiers, well-trained and morale, it seemed that the war ahead had not suffered any losses. Ding Jiang Shoucheng also had some tricks, smiled on his face, looked at the garrison captain in front of him, and said, "I am Ye Guan."

The garrison captain was obviously stunned when he heard this, then blinked and looked into the distance as much as possible. The sunset was setting, the light was a little dark, a little distance away, and it was not clear. He could only see that the person in front of him was an old man and could not see his face clearly. The officer was not sure, so he shouted: "Do you have any certificate?"

"The token is here." Ye Guan said, then took out his city lord token from his arms and threw it far forward. The token passed far away in the air and landed straight in the arms of the officer. The garrison officer picked up the token and looked at it. His face changed immediately. He was stunned at first, then was overjoyed, and then he immediately ordered the soldiers on both sides: "Hurry to open the horse, General Ye will come back." He took the long knife back into his sheath, held the token in both hands, and ran towards Ye Guan.

The soldiers around him had not yet reacted, but saw his commander running forward with the token in his hands and kneeling straight in front of the old man on one knee. Then he immediately understood what was going on. The barracks of the barracks were immediately opened, and all the soldiers removed their fighting posture, became respectful, and stood upright on one side.

"I have no eyes and cannot recognize the general. I also ask the general to be atonement." The garrison captain knelt in front of Ye Guan with the token in both hands and said loudly.

Ye Guan chuckled, took back the token, reached out to help the officer up, and said, "It's okay, you've done a good job. When you see suspicious people in war, you need to ensure the distance of one arrow." As he said that, he gently patted the officer on the shoulder, stopped talking, put the token back in his arms, and walked towards the barracks with great strides.

All the soldiers in charge of the garrison stood respectfully. Ye Guan walked by, and they looked squinting, but they were excited. Ye Guan's position among the soldiers of the Eastern Palace was unparalleled. When he was in the army, Ye Guan was the most popular general and the most successful. After he retired, Liu Yuan and Yu Sheng were only given. Ye Guan's reputation in the army was spread by his extraordinary wisdom and wisdom. Of course, this was more or less exaggerated, but Ye Guan was like a military god in the hearts of many soldiers of the Eastern Palace, especially the new recruits.

Ye Guan walked into the military camp with great strides. Now it was not the time to comfort the soldiers. He came back and wanted to understand the situation of the war as soon as possible. He walked quickly. Ye Guan walked to the military camp tent with a familiarity. He came over all the way. All the soldiers were stunned when they saw Ye Guan, and then stood solemnly, feeling extremely excited.

There were two soldiers on duty in the tent before. When they saw Ye Guan coming, they were obviously stunned at first, and then they were overjoyed and immediately wanted to salute. Ye Guan stopped him from his eyes. Ye Guan did not let anyone inform him and walked straight into the tent.

At this moment, in the big tent, Kou Long was sitting behind Shuai's case, frowned, looking at a drawing on Shuai's case, not knowing what he was thinking, but he was not alert to Ye Guan's arrival. Ye Guan didn't make any noise, his body was already light, and he walked behind Kou Long in a few steps and looked at the picture through the candlelight on the case.

At first glance, this picture is a detailed road map near Zhu'an City. I don't know where Kou Long got it, but now there are many drawings on it. Kou Long was looking at the map and his brows were frowning.

Ye Guan didn't make a sound. Looking in detail, Zhu'an City suddenly appeared in the middle of the drawings. Several origins were marked near the city wall. They should be the garrison. Outside the city wall, there should be more ink marks, and there should be the place where the enemy gathered.

Through the drawings, a simple battlefield division appeared in Ye Guan's mind. Judging from the drawings, the war is not going smoothly now, and the number of enemy troops is far greater than that of our own. Judging from the markings, there are definitely more than 50,000 troops. There are several places in the markings that are used as more important markings, and there should be an ordinary area where competition occurs.

The main direction of the enemy's attack was another gate of Zhu'an City. Because Zhu'an City was built between two high mountains, there was no road left and right, and it was impossible to detour, the enemy could only attack head-on. Zhu'an City can be said to be easy to defend but difficult to attack, and the city walls were strong, so it must have been extra reinforced by Shen Tuyan before. If it weren't for the mysterious man from Tianqing City who suddenly appeared to harvest the lives of Zhu'an City, Ye Guanxiang would have led the team to take down Zhu'an City, it would have been a lot of trouble.

Now that the enemy is attacking, they will definitely encounter such problems.

Ye Guan was silent, thinking quietly, looking at the drawings in front of him, and analyzing the possible movements of the enemy.

Shen Tuyan's troops must be more familiar with the bad situation near Zhu'an City than the Dongwang Mansion troops, and are more familiar with the situation in Zhu'an City. The Dongwang Mansion has only been occupying Zhu'an City for a few days. Even if he has experience, it is impossible to cover everything in such a short time. It is no longer appropriate to be able to resist the opponent's attack when facing an enemy army that is several times more than oneself.

Looking at the drawings in front of him, the first thing Ye Guan thought of was to defend the left and right mountain tops. Later, he found that the left and right mountain ranges were still a little far from Zhu'an City. Even if they occupied the commanding heights of the mountain, they could not make an effective attack on Zhu'an City. At least it was not feasible in the front. Then Ye Guan thought of the back mountain where he had entered Zhu'an City before, where the trees were lush and were very suitable for raids. When he came out, he jumped straight to the top of Zhu'an City through several nearby big trees.

But after thinking about it, I felt that this was unlikely. I jumped onto the top of the city because of the blessing of the wind and fighting spirit, and there was no danger. If an ordinary soldier had probably not been able to climb the towering tree, let alone jump onto the top of the city with such a dangerous move.

However, even so, Ding Jiang and Kou Long still defended this aspect. Looking at the map, garrison soldiers were arranged in the city walls and cities behind to prevent the enemy from raiding from the mountains behind.

When Zhuan City was originally designed, it must have thought of this. Shen Tuyan could build the city wall very close to the giant trees in the mountain range behind, so that he would not be afraid of someone entering the city from this place. It is more than ten meters higher than the city wall, plus the height of the mountain range and the height of the trees, even if ordinary people climb up, it is not easy for monks to sneak attack the city wall to reach the top of the tree. Just set traps or arrange ambushers near the city wall near the mountain range, and a few will die.

As for defense from top to bottom, there is no need to consider this. The woods near Zhu'an City have at least hundreds of years, and the trees are thick and lush. It will take a long time to cut down these trees. If you want to transport long-range weapons to the mountains and then let the soldiers climb up the trunk to sneak attack the city wall, this is simply half the result with twice the effort.

Ye Guan entered Zhu'an City at that time, located in a corner of Zhu'an City. It was inconspicuous compared to the entire Zhu'an City wall, and there would not be too many defensive personnel arranged here. Just arrange a lookout hand from a distance. If you see someone calling the police in time, there will be no possibility of breaking through here.

The only way to break through here is to use fire.

If Shen Tuyan is really crazy, he will take it back to Zhu'an City and burn the mountain with fire. Ye Guan really doesn't have a good response plan. The surrounding trees are endless, and the entire Zongqiu Mountain is connected by trees. If Shen Tuyan prevents fire, the fire may not be controlled, and eventually ignite all the trees in the entire Zongqiu Mountain Range. This is a way to burn both jade and stones. Until the last moment, I believe Shen Tuyan will not use such a method.

However, Ye Guan thought for a moment and said softly: "You send a brigade first to cut off all the trees in the mountains behind you to prevent the enemy from attacking with fire."

A sudden sentence immediately scared Kou Long. The sound was still coming from behind him. Without thinking, he grabbed the long sword on the table and slashed it backwards. This was an instinctive action in the battlefield for many years. This action was not considered by the brain at all, and it was completely subconscious.

A strong wind came, and Ye Guan just raised his hand gently and dragged Kou Long's arm, making the long sword unable to be cut off. His arm was stopped. Kou Long looked at the person and was shocked at first sight. He quickly retracted the long sword, took two steps back, and looked at Ye Guan again, not convinced him, and murmured: "Ye...General Ye?"

"What?" Ye Guan stood there, looking at Kou Long with a calm expression, without any joy or worry.

"Last general, please see General Ye!" After confirming that the person coming was Ye Guan, Kou Long was overjoyed and immediately knelt on one knee and saluted Ye Guan.

"Don't be so polite, during the war." Ye Guan stopped looking at Kou Long, turned his eyes to the map again, and while looking, he said, "You will tell me in detail about the current situation."
