Chapter 1490 795 Catastrophe

In the hall, it was silent, the air seemed to be condensed, and there was not even a shred of wind outside.

Guan Yubai picked up the half remaining medicinal tea in the cup and took another sip slowly.

Mencor stared at Guan Yubai for a while, his heart lifted little by little, and a cold sweat broke out from the back of his neck. He was quite sure that Guan Yubai would be moved, even if it wasn't now, when Guan Yubai verified Xiao Yi's meeting with the envoy of Xiye, his heart would definitely sway...

After all, the collapse of the Guan family's entire family will be an eternal pain in Guan Yubai's heart, and it is a scar that can never be healed. It is impossible for Guan Yubai to serve one person wholeheartedly! Even if he stood in the position of Guan Yubai himself, he would feel that people are not doing it for themselves.

Menkor took a deep breath and persuaded: "Master Hou, I also know that this decision is not easy for Master Hou, but Master Hou, half of the country in the west night was taken down by you, only you. He is only worthy of being in charge of Xiye, so Shizi Xiao just intends to sit back and enjoy the success!"

"The 50,000 Southern Border troops under the Houye have long been convinced by the character and intelligence of the Houye. Presumably, when the Houye rises up, he will definitely respond with a hundred calls, and serve the Houye as the master... Even if someone dares to mutiny, it is enough to kill a thousand examples. How much more waves can be stirred up!"

"Also, the warriors under my Mengu clan are willing to serve the Lord Hou, Lord Hou, don't miss this opportunity, you can't wait for others to hide their bows, please think twice!"

Mencor deliberately increased the volume on the word "Zai", calmly reminding Guan Yubai of the downfall of the Guan Family Army nine years ago.

Guan Yubai's pupils shrank sharply, but the expression on his face remained the same, but those eyes were as deep as a pool of pitch-black water, as if they were about to suck people into them.

The hall was silent for a while, and the cold wind blew in the yard outside, making the branches and leaves sway endlessly, and the trees wanted to be quiet but the wind kept blowing.

Guan Yubai seemed to have heard the movement, and looked up at the swaying trees outside. It was the cold winter season, most of the leaves on the branches had fallen, and only a few leftovers were swaying in the wind...

Seeing Guan Yubai's intentions moved, Menkel felt that he had already persuaded the other party, and his heart finally let go. He knew that it was too late, and he did not continue to force Guan Yubai to make a choice, but changed the topic: "Hou Lord, regarding Zhongling City, I... will have a plan to offer at the end!"

He immediately changed his name to "The Last General" to show his loyalty, and at the same time Huo Di stood up, clasped his fists respectfully and pleaded for orders: "The Last General is willing to lead the remnants of our warriors who pretend to flee to Zhongling City on behalf of the Marquis, and wait for the Last General to wait. After infiltrating into Zhongling City, breaking the city from within the city will surely be twice the result with half the effort. When it is done, the city gate will be opened to welcome Lord Hou into the city..."

Guan Yu raised his eyebrows slightly, and looked at Mencor with deep eyes, "How sure are you?"

"Master Hou, Zhongling City is the territory of the Xizhuo clan. The chief of the Xizhuo clan, Sirius, is very happy. As long as the general expresses his surrender, he will definitely not be suspicious. It's just..." Menkor paused hesitantly, gritted his teeth, and continued worryingly, "The last general is afraid that once the Marquis occupies Zhongling City, Xiao Shizi will not be able to sit still. It is necessary to guard against others, Lord Hou, why don't you wait until you have captured Zhongling City, and then report this matter to Shizi Xiao? What do you think, Lord Hou?"

Guan Yubai smiled slightly and said unhurriedly, "That's all up to the patriarch."

done! Mencor was secretly delighted that this was finally done!

"Master Marquis, the final commander will set off immediately." Menkor clasped his fists impassively, and then strode out.

Next, there was a second wave of commotion in Longmen City. A horn that was unique to Xiye sounded, and thousands of Xiye soldiers under Menkell quickly gathered near the city gate.

More than an hour later, the thousands of "remainders" of the "remainders" of Xiye, led by Menkor, left the north gate of Longmen City, and went all the way north in embarrassment, bypassing the Daye valley beside Daye Mountain. I arrived outside Zhongling City that night.

Although the night has fallen, the wall of Zhongling City is illuminated by torches like day, and it also illuminates the front...

The people on the city wall saw Mencor and his group from a distance, and before they got close, someone asked loudly, "Who is coming?!"

Menkor hurriedly shouted: "I am Menkor, the head of the Mengu clan. Guan Yubai's army broke through Wenxi City, Gonglai City, and Longmen City. My Mengu clan only escaped three thousand of us. I want to see your Sires Patriarch, there is important military information to tell you, please welcome me into the city!"

After a while, the heavy city gate slowly opened a gap that was only enough for two people to run side by side with a loud rumbling sound.

A tall young general led a few personal soldiers out of the city to greet him in person, and welcomed Mencor and his party into the city. Following that, Mencor followed the young general to Sirius' mansion.

The mansion, which had fallen asleep, became brightly lit with Mencor's arrival. After a while, a tall, middle-aged general hurried to the hall.

In the hall, the rest of the idle people retreated, and only Mencor, who was described as a mess, was sitting on a high-backed chair and waiting. When he saw the middle-aged general, he immediately stood up and clasped his fists.

Then, they both looked at each other and smiled.

The middle-aged general patted Mencor on the shoulder and laughed: "Brother Mencor, you are still young!"

Menkor curled his lips proudly, and replied confidently: "That's natural! I have done everything according to the king's will, and now Guan Yubai probably thinks that he can easily take it without a single soldier. Zhongling City."

"Hahaha..." The middle-aged general laughed loudly, with a trace of disdain in his eyes, "It turns out that the officer and the young general are just like that!"

Mencor also sneered: "Maybe it was his father who was just building momentum for him back then!"

In the memories of many Xiye people, the official language has long been deified, but they have forgotten that he is only a mortal body.

Thinking of the thin and sick young man, Mencor's eyes flashed with contempt, and then he said, "Sires, how are you doing here?"

"You can rest assured!" Sirius raised his eyebrows proudly, "Bray's people went to the Dae Valley yesterday, and by tomorrow morning, Huo Lei should be almost buried! By then, everything will be ready, just owe East wind!"

"Daye Valley is the only way to get here from Longmen City. If Guan Yubai wants to get to Zhongling City, you must take this road." A gleam of light flashed in Menkel's eyes.

"That's good!" Sirius stroked his palms, squinting his eyes slightly, and a fierce flash flashed in his sharp eyes.

The Da Ye Valley stretches for several miles, and the widest part is only enough for three or four soldiers to go side by side. It is impossible for Guan Yubai's tens of thousands of troops to pass there in less than half an hour... At that time, once they detonate the mountain Huo Lei, Guan Yubai and his 50,000 Southern Border Army would never be able to escape!

The power of Huo Lei is as terrifying as the earth dragon turning over, and it can be blocked by non-human people. No matter how treacherous the official language is like a fox, it is impossible to fly!

This time, the official language is dead!

Sirius and Mencor looked at each other with ambition in their eyes.

If Guan Yubai, who didn't even kill the Dayu Emperor, died in their hands, it would be unbearable to think about it.

Once this tactic is successful, not only will the two of them take the lead, but their names will spread throughout the Western Night, and even go down in history!

Thinking of this, Mencor was already full of enthusiasm and excitement.

Now everything is just waiting for tomorrow!

The night sky above Zhongling City was still dark, and the moon and stars were sparse.

That night, Zhongling City stayed awake all night... It wasn't until the early morning when the moonlight gradually faded that someone came to report that the fire thunder had been set.

At the moment, Mencor sent a henchman out of the city and immediately rushed to the Da Ye Valley...

As time passed, the sky gradually became white, and suddenly, a firework shot straight into the sky like an arrow from the ground.

This is the signal agreed by Mencole and Guan Yubai before leaving, which means that everything is done.

When the signal lifts off, Guan Yubai's army will set off from Longmen City.

"The signal has been sent. After more than two hours, Guan Yubai and the Southern Border army should arrive at the Da Ye Valley." Menkel, who was standing on the city wall, put down his clairvoyance and smiled at Sirius next to him. road.

"Then, let's go back to the house and wait for the good news." Sirius turned around first and walked down the stone steps.

Mencor took another deep look at the Da Ye Valley, and followed him down the city wall.

After the two returned to the mansion, they sat in the hall drinking tea and waiting for news. They seemed to be leisurely, but their hearts were restless.

The first day is getting higher and higher, and the sky is getting brighter and brighter. Soldiers in the mansion come in and out, and people come to report from time to time:

"Patriarch, Guan Yubai's army has set off from Longmen City at Chen Shi!"

"Patriarch, Guan Yubai's army arrived at the Yizhong River at this time, and it is still forty miles away from the Daye Valley!"

"..."

"Patriarch, Guan Yubai's army should be about to enter the Da Ye Valley!"

When they heard this report, Sires and Mencor's eyes lit up, and the two of them almost couldn't wait to stand up at the same time.

Sirius greeted with a smile: "Brother Mencor, let's go, it's time for us to see a good show."

At this moment, the sun outside has risen to the middle, and the surroundings are bright.

The two patriarchs strode out of the mansion, got on their horses, and galloped away in the direction of the South City Gate.

Before they reached the city gate, they felt that the ground seemed to vibrate slightly. Sirius stopped the horse first and looked down, only to see the dust on the ground flying with the vibration of the ground. Quickly, I heard a muffled thunder in the sky, and the roaring sound of the sky came in an endless stream, mighty, and even the surrounding houses seemed to be shaking...

Sirius and Mencor exchanged glances. They both knew that it was not the Earth Dragon turning over, nor the rolling thunder, but the explosion of the fire thunder in the Da Ye Valley, causing the earth to move!

"That's great, the fire thunder has been detonated!" Menkor smiled and patted his palm with joy, "This fire thunder is indeed well-deserved! Even two years ago, two years ago, the dragon of the Imperial City turned over and dumped half of the city's houses. Such power!" He finally lived up to the fact that he was begging for pity at the official language during this period of time!

Sirius raised his head and laughed loudly: "That's natural! This is a fire thunder used to open a mine, and its power has tripled, so it is easy to raze a city to the ground. This time, the official language died in vain. deal!"

With that said, Sires looked at Mencor and said with a cup of hands, "Brother Mencor, you have done a great job this time!"

"Overwhelmed." Mencor clasped his fists politely, "If it wasn't for my brother's fire and thunder, it wouldn't have happened."

At this time, a Xiye soldier hurried over and said to Sirius, "Patriarch, the 20,000-strong army has been assembled and ready for orders."

Sirius responded with a loud voice and asked proudly: "Brother Menkel, do you want to accompany me to exterminate the remnants of the southern border?"

"That's natural!" Mencor hurriedly said, followed by a sneer, "Maybe I'm still 'fortunate' to collect the body for the general officer! What do you think if his whole body is given to the king?"

When he said this, Sirius was also moved. The king hated the official family the most in his life. If they could present Guan Yubai's body, then their errand this time would be considered perfect!

Sirius nodded in agreement: "Okay! Brother Menkel, today we will personally lead the troops to clean up those remnants of the southern border!"

The two exchanged glances, both in high spirits.

The military order was quickly passed on, the horn sounded, the drums rumbled, and the army of 20,000 Xiye rushed out of the gate of Zhongling City.

Where the 20,000 soldiers passed by, flags were flying, and smoke was billowing.

After traveling for more than 20 miles, I saw the valley in front of me shrouded in smoke, like a large gray fog, and I could only vaguely see the peaks on both sides looming in the "gray fog"...

The closer you get to the ground, the thicker the "mist" formed by the dust, and wherever your eyes can see, apart from dust, it's still dust...

Seeing how the Da Ye valley was completely different from when he passed by yesterday, Menkor only felt more relaxed. The army followed suit.

The ground of the valley is full of large and small rocks and gravels, which are not conducive to the walking of horses. The army immediately abandoned their horses and walked slowly, walking slowly among the dust and mist... The deeper the valley, the thicker the dust and mist all around, and the smell of smoke and gunpowder that came to the face, this is the trace left by the explosion of fire and thunder...

However, Menkor felt a thump in his heart, vaguely feeling that something was not right, and subconsciously slowed down.

"Brother Mencor..."

Sirius looked at Mencor suspiciously. Before Mencor could speak, he heard the sound of "boom, huh" coming from all directions, and black iron arrows like a dense swarm of wasps shot through the dust mist and shot at them. Come.

"what!"

Immediately afterwards, there were screams of screams coming from behind, as well as the sound of soldiers falling to the ground, the sound of iron arrows hitting their shields... All kinds of sounds were mixed together, and the valley was suddenly chaotic!

Mencor's face was sinking. At this moment, he already knew what was wrong. There was no blood around here.

The fire and thunder detonated, and the boulder rolled down. If the Southern Border Army really fell into a trap, then even if the corpses were not at the entrance of the valley, they should have smelled the strong smell of blood coming with the wind.

However, it's too late!

The sound of the iron arrows breaking through the air was incessant. There were more and more Xiye soldiers falling beside Sires and Mencor, and the smell of blood around them also became stronger and stronger, mixing with the smell of smoke and gunpowder. , creating a disgusting odor.

Mencor hurriedly shouted: "The plan is in! Retreat! Everyone, retreat to Zhongling City!"

Next, the valley was chaotic, surrounded by flying dust, and I couldn't see where the iron arrows were flying from. I could only blindly raise my shield to block the iron arrows flying in all directions.

It was a massacre!

The Xiye Army has absolutely no backhand strength, let alone backhand. All they can do is block, escape, leave this valley as soon as possible, and escape to a place with a wider field of vision...

In the chaos, the Xiye Army finally withdrew from the valley after half an hour, but thousands of iron arrows from the rear continued to shoot...

The two patriarchs fled all the way with less than 10,000 remaining soldiers, even if they left the range of the iron arrow, they did not dare to relax.

They must return to Zhongling City as soon as possible, and must not let the Southern Border Army catch up!

They must defend Zhongling City, otherwise they will be defeated!

In this urgency, Sires and Mencor were galloping ahead, just thinking, hurry up! Hurry up!

The sun slanted west at an unknown time, and the city walls of Zhongling City appeared far on the horizon.

Sires and Mencor's faces loosened slightly, their horses caught their belly, and the whip slammed on the horse, and the horse's hooves galloped faster, followed by a group of messy cavalry, followed by a large army. Infantry, the queue has long since become distraught...

However, when they arrived less than a mile away from Zhongling City, Sirius was the first to realize that something was wrong.

He quickly restrained the horse rope, and the brown horse under his crotch raised its front hooves with a neighing sound. Sirius stared blankly at the top of the city wall and blurted out: "No! This is not my flag, This is not the flag of my Xizhuo clan!"

The flags of the Xizhuo people are not silver and white!

Mencor, who was beside him, widened his eyes, and suddenly thought of something.

"Impossible... This is absolutely impossible." Menkor murmured, and with almost trembling hands, he took out a clairvoyant from his arms and looked at the silver-white flag flying on the city wall.

On the flag, a dragon and phoenix danced the word "official" into his pupils through clairvoyance.

"Official language white... Really official language white!"

Mencor recited in awe, still looking at the word "official" on the flag, feeling as if he was in a never-ending nightmare.

At this moment, a majestic shout came from the direction of the city wall in front:

"Many thanks to the West Night King handed over to Zhongling City, but we are disrespectful!"

Thousands of voices, no, maybe tens of thousands of voices overlapped together, shouting the same sentence repeatedly, each one louder than the other, like a curtain of waterfalls flying down three thousand feet, making it vibrate for miles around. , The shock made people dizzy, and it was like a dream.

Those words came straight at him like a thousand steel needles, and Menkor felt a sip of old blood in his chest and a sweetness in his throat.

"How is this possible?!" His voice became hoarse without realizing it, and he said through gritted teeth.

However, the truth was cruelly placed in front of them.

They got it!

It turned out that the trap in the Da Ye Valley was just a cover-up for Guan Yubai. His real purpose was to take advantage of the emptiness of Zhongling City and take advantage of the generals.

Whether it's Mencor or Sirius, they can't understand, Guan Yubai can see through their plans of fire and thunder, but how did his army get around Zhongling City? !

How did Guan Yubai conquer Zhongling City in less than a day? !

Although they took away 20,000 troops, there are still 10,000 troops in Zhongling City, and Zhongling City is easy to defend and difficult to attack...

However, they never got an answer.

They didn't even have time to say "withdraw", and they had already seen the black iron arrows that symbolized death shot at them in an airtight manner...

Mencor's eyes widened to the extreme, and his eyes were filled with unwillingness.

Why is this happening?

Could it be that the official language is really helpless? !

Are you going to be buried here today?

No, he is not reconciled!

Mencor grabbed one of the personal soldiers beside him and tried to use him as a shield, however, it was too late.

"Whoa..."

Several iron arrows approached in an instant, and shot through his head, neck, and chest at almost the same time...

But in the blink of an eye, Mencor turned into a hedgehog full of iron arrows, and fell straight down from the horse.

Mencor, who was at the front of the queue, died, and Sires died, but the iron arrows did not stop because of this, and they continued to fall like a rainstorm. The iron arrows were dyed in the golden-red afterglow of the setting sun. bloody luster...

Murder is in the air!
