Chapter 470: Chain Meter
"General, Wulong County is ahead."
The vanguard officer ran to Qu Yi's side, pointed to the city in the distance and said.
Qu Yi looked up and saw a big city towering toweringly. The city wall looked dilapidated, like the traces left after the war.
"Not good, is it still a step late?" Qu Yi frowned, "Go, hurry over and have a look!"
Walking to the front, I saw that the suspension bridge of the moat had been destroyed, and it was built crookedly on both sides of the moat. The city gate not far away was ajar, and on the ground, there were faint bloodstains, which had not been washed clean.
"General, what should we do?"
The scene in front of him was really beyond Da Jun's expectation.
"Go into town and have a look."
"This..." the vanguard officer hesitated, and said: "General, in order to prevent fraud, let the last general lead the vanguard to go and investigate!"
"Also!"
Qu Yi has experienced many battles, and he is not a reckless person.
The vanguard officer took two hundred cavalry and was about to cross the moat. Just at this time, the half-covered city gate suddenly opened from the inside, and a team of more than ten people walked out, led by a civil servant.
Seeing this, the vanguard officer reined in the horse's head.
The civil servants led the team across the moat, rushed to the army, got off their horses, clasped their fists and said, "Du Sijing, a subject of Wulong County, pays homage to the general. If you are far away, please forgive me!"
In the northern part of Zhaoqing County, when the lords went to war abroad, they would leave behind an important minister to guard their homes. These important ministers are all registered in Qu Yi.
After thinking about it for a while, Qu Yi was convinced that the other party was indeed a subject of Wulong County. He didn't get off his horse either, pointing to the blood on the city gate and asked, "Lord Du, what's going on? You sent out a distress signal, where are the enemies?"
"It's a long story, so please go to the city to tell the story."
"Alright, lead the way!"
After confirming Du Sijing's identity, Qu Yi basically let go of his vigilance. He never expected that the Du Sijing in front of him had already taken refuge in Shanhai City.
Entering the city this time is a road of no return. Unfortunately, Qu Yi didn't know it yet.
Of course, 50,000 troops cannot all enter the city. Qu Yi accompanied two hundred guards, and the rest of the soldiers set up camp outside the city.
Du Sijing rode a war horse and followed Qu Yi, seeing the other party enjoying the street scene on both sides with great interest, enjoying the welcome of the people on both sides of the street, he felt sad for Qu Yi.
Marquis of Lianzhou's scheme is really terrible. Even the smallest details have been considered.
Whether it's the dilapidated suspension bridge, the bloodstains on the city gate, or the welcome people lining the road, everything is carefully arranged.
The purpose is to make Qu Yi completely let go of his vigilance.
After such a delay, it was almost noon.
Du Sijing hosted a banquet in the Lord's Mansion to entertain Qu Yi and his party.
At the same time, Du Sijing also arranged for people to deliver wine, meat and meals to the sergeants stationed outside the city. The 50,000 iron cavalry traveled all the way, and they were already hungry, so they were naturally happy to be entertained with such good wine and meat.
There are military disciplines in the army. According to the rules, the army stationed outside the city cannot accept the food and wine sent from the city. If they want to eat, they can only eat the dry food and drinking water brought along with them.
As for drinking, it is even more impossible.
Helpless, Du Sijing was too enthusiastic, and said with certainty that this was the wish of the people in the city. I hope the general will not refuse, otherwise, the people will feel sorry and think they are looking down on them.
Hearing this, Qu Yi couldn't resist, so he could only nod his head in agreement.
Now that the lord general agreed, the 50,000 soldiers naturally opened their bellies to eat and drink. All the hardships of traveling all the way were melted into the food and drink, and there was nothing left.
The same is true for Qu Yi himself, drinking fine wine, biting chicken legs, and eating extremely vulgarly.
"Tell me? What's going on here?"
Koji is fairly competent and has not forgotten his duties.
"Don't hide it from the general." Du Sijing complained while toasting graciously: "The day before yesterday, an army of more than 2,000 people suddenly attacked Wulong County. We waited for a desperate resistance before we could beat them back. It was already a casualty." It was terrible. Unexpectedly, the leader of the enemy army clamored, saying that they were only a forward force, and that a large army would come to conquer Wulong County in a few days. I dare not neglect, so I asked the general for help."
Qu Yi nodded, "I see. What is the origin of the other party?"
"I don't know the exact origin. They are wearing black armour, and they don't have flags, which is very strange."
"Hei Jia?" Qu Yi also had no way out, and said carelessly, "Whoever he is, if he dares to commit another crime, they will never return."
"On behalf of the people of the city, I thank the general!"
Hearing this, Du Sijing hurriedly stood up and thanked him.
Qu Yi waved his hand, he is a big bastard, he can't stand such red tape.
When the wine was hot, suddenly a servant came in.
"My lord, I have a guest to see you!"
"Let him wait, didn't you see that I was accompanying the general?"
Du Sijing was furious.
"However, that person seemed to be in a hurry and said that he must present himself to an adult."
"not see!"
Du Sijing was firm.
"Hey," Qu Yi said at this time, "Master Du, you can go yourself, it's okay."
"Then," Du Sijing hesitated for a while, and said, "General Haihan, I'll go back as soon as I go."
Qu Yi waved his hand impatiently, grabbed a chicken leg, and started to chew.
Seeing this, Du Sijing got up and left. This time, I never came back.
The place where the banquet was held for Qu Yi was a small courtyard in the east of the Lord's Mansion. The guards brought by Qu Yi were stationed in the courtyard of the small courtyard.
As soon as Du Sijing left, hundreds of crossbowmen suddenly appeared on the high walls around the courtyard. Each crossbowman holds a god arm crossbow and shoots a round of shots at the sergeants in the courtyard.
Immediately, the sound of screams can be heard endlessly.
"what happened?"
Qu Yi was also alert, and immediately rushed out with a weapon in his hand, before he could wipe off the oily shine from the corners of his mouth. Under the sudden attack, Qu Yi's personal guards had already suffered heavy losses, and there were less than fifty people left.
"It's been tricked!"
Qu Yi's heart trembled, and his face suddenly turned pale.
Unfortunately, he understood too late.
"Follow me out!"
Qu Yi knew very well that staying in the courtyard would lead to death. The only way to survive is to rush out of the Lord's Mansion and join the army outside the city.
Although the hope is slim, Qu Yi still wants to give it a go. He was full of courage, and under the protection of the remaining personal guards, he rushed towards the gate of the courtyard.
At this moment, the gate of the courtyard suddenly opened from the outside, and a group of armored soldiers rushed in. Without saying a word, they directly slashed over with knives.
The sergeant who rushed in was Ouyang Shuo's personal guard, two hundred guards.
The two guards fought hand in hand.
Qu Yi's personal guard was naturally no match for Shen Wuwei.
The only difficult one was Qu Yi himself, anyway, he was also a king-level warrior.
Qu Yi's opponent was none other than Ouyang Shuo.
"Who is coming? It's so despicable to report your name."
Qu Yi and Ouyang Shuo fought together, but they still did not forget the usual words.
Ouyang Shuo held the Heavenly Demon Spear, and it was not difficult to deal with Qu Yi's attack. He said with a smile, "Listen well, I am the Marquis of Lianzhou."
"what?"
When Qu Yi heard this, he was shocked again, knowing that there was no way out.
The prestige of Marquis of Lianzhou is well known in the entire Lingnan province. As a general of the Allied Army, Qu Yi naturally knew about it. The other party appeared in Wulong County, and the consequences were self-evident.
"Master Hou, the final general is willing to surrender!"
At the critical moment, Qu Yi is "flexible and stretchable".
Hearing this, Ouyang Shuo smiled coldly and said, "Unfortunately, this Marquis will not accept it."
"you!"
Qu Yi immediately blushed, humiliated.
"In that case, let's take your life!"
Qu Yi is also a bloody man, so he simply gave it up.
The two fought together and played brilliantly.
It's a pity that the current Ouyang Shuo is no longer Wuxia Amon, who is fearless in the face of a king-level general. The two fought for less than fifty rounds, and Qu Yi died under Ouyang Shuo's gun.
Ouyang Shuo never thought about conquering Qu Yi. Qu Yi is proud of his achievements in history, and he is not the talent that Ouyang Shuo likes. Second, Qu Yi surrendered under such circumstances, and his loyalty was hard to guarantee.
Therefore, Ouyang Shuo chose to simply kill Qu Yi and gain a general soul.
In less than half an hour, the remaining Koji guards in the courtyard were wiped out.
Needless to say, this is all a bureau. The moment Qu Yi received the distress signal, the fate of him and his 50,000 cavalry was already sealed.
Apart from encircling and suppressing Qu Yi in the city, outside the city, Lin Yi's imperial guard regiment may have entered the hastily built camp of 50,000 cavalry.
The 50,000 army, laboring on an expedition, is eating and drinking, and there is no defense at all. Not to mention, some ingredients were added to the food, which made the soldiers feel weak.
Facing an ace troop like the Imperial Guards, with 50,000 cavalry, it is estimated that they can only surrender obediently.
After finishing Qu Yi, Ouyang Shuo returned to the meeting hall of the lord's mansion with his personal guards. After waiting for less than an hour, Lin Yi came to report.
"I report to you, that 50,000 cavalry have been routed, and 12,000 were killed. The rest, except for a few who escaped, were all captured and held in the military camp inside the city."
Lin Yi's efficiency is still so high.
"Not bad." Ouyang Shuo nodded in satisfaction, "According to the plan."
"clear!"
Lin Yi turned around and left to arrange follow-up matters.
Naturally, Ouyang Shuo would not be satisfied with just winning 50,000 cavalry. His goal is to capture Tianshuang County and cut off the Allied food road.
Tianshuang County was originally a fortified city, and there was a large army stationed there.
If you attack by force, I'm afraid it won't get you any favors.
Although the imperial guards fought bravely, it was useless without siege equipment.
For this reason, it can only be outsmarted.
That's why Ouyang Shuo set up a chain plan.
Taking down Qu Yi's army is only the first step of this plan. In just two hours, the Imperial Guard Division had already replaced all the previous Mingguang armor with the armor of Qu Yi's army.
In addition, identity tokens, flags and other items have all been replaced.
Ouyang Shuo just wanted to make a time difference.
The news of the annihilation of Qu Yi's army definitely did not reach the ears of the allied forces so quickly. The Imperial Guard Division disguised themselves as Qu Yi's army and immediately marched towards Tianshuang County.
