Chapter 1043 The Late City Guard
When he saw Cai Qiyong leading the army, he wondered where He Lingchuan had gone.
It seemed that Commander He was not leading the troops properly, but was lurking in the city and taking a single-unit combat route.
Ordinary people did not know the inside story, but Wen Daolun knew very well that Yuheng City once had two secret passages leading out of the city. One was dug by the original government for transporting troops and escaping; the other was secretly dug by the rich households in the north city, and no one knew how long it took them.
Anyway, when the Dafeng Army captured this place, the owner of the house escaped through the tunnel.
Yuheng City openly blocked the official passage, but left a more secret private tunnel to deal with emergencies.
He Lingchuan quietly returned to the city through that secret passage and saved Wen Daolun in a critical moment.
He planned to fight on two fronts from the beginning. The Yuheng Army brought to Longchuan had gathered many times along the way, and there were far fewer people than it seemed on the surface. Although there were people coming and going in Longchuan, and it seemed lively, half of them were former bandits and aboriginals.
He also left a thousand elite soldiers to ambush in the north of the city.
The order Cai Qiyong received was to choose an opportunity to support Yuheng City.
Fu Shanlie dared to attack Yuheng City, most likely he was sure of attacking from both inside and outside. So He Lingchuan left 800 people to Cai Qiyong, and he took 200 elite soldiers to enter the city through the tunnel to solve the internal problems.
Sure enough, the city was also in a mess.
During the conversation between the two, Meng Shan waved a mace to deal with another giant mantis.
But this thing instantly recovered its agility and rushed to Meng Shan's head.
Meng Shan waved the mace to smash its brain, but the thing suddenly scattered in front of him and turned into thousands of small insects, and went to bite his head and face.
These are not beetles, but mantises that have shrunk dozens of times, each of which is only as long as the tail finger, but they have everything they should have, including weapons.
Meng Shan roared forward, and his Qi Jin bounced a large number of strange insects away, but dozens of them circled around and bit his neck.
A few of them rushed towards Wen Daolun.
Wen Daolun hurriedly pinched his fingers and burned these insects.
He Lingchuan stepped forward and slashed a few swords to kill the insects surrounding Meng Shan.
He didn't need to kill them one by one, as long as the sword energy reached, the strange insects would fall in pieces.
Meng Shan felt dazzled, and the surrounding cold light flashed, and then-there was no more.
Uh, he didn't see clearly.
Is the commander's cultivation progressing so fast? Two years ago, he could still pin the commander to the ground and beat him up.
He Lingchuan tilted his head: "Old Wen, follow me, don't leave me too far."
The Jin Tao army outside the city was attacked from all sides, and with the interference of Emperor Liujiang, it was like the sandwich of a cookie. Once they couldn't bear the pressure, some soldiers began to flee.
When Emperor Liujiang came, most people were irrational. Coupled with the stimulation of the battlefield environment and the pressure of the predicament, the psychological defense line was easily collapsed.
The Yuheng army seized the opportunity to expand its advantage, and after a few rounds of collision and cutting, it quickly completed the grand meeting of the two armies inside and outside!
This also means that they cut the Jin Tao army in half vertically.
East of Yuheng City, the battle is determined!
After He Lingchuan made sure that the surroundings were safe, he waved his hand to call over a team of guards and pushed Wen Daolun to the center of the team: "Okay, you are safe! I'll go first."
This guard team has more than a hundred people, and Wen Daolun is safe under the protection of abundant Yuanli.
Seeing that Jin Tao's army was about to lose, He Lingchuan sent 300 people to the South Gate to support Liu Tiao.
He wanted to meet Fu Shanlie.
That was the main battlefield of this battle.
After he left, Wen Daolun continued to command the East Gate Battle.
So far, Yuheng City has acted according to the established tactics, first repelling Jin Tao's attack.
Pick the soft persimmon first. The army that Fu Shanlie borrowed from Jin Tao could add icing on the cake, disrupt Yuheng, and cooperate with the inside and outside, but it couldn't fight a siege alone.
The elite of Jin Tao's team couldn't stand it, and the whole army fled to the west.
As the saying goes, a defeat is like a mountain collapsing. This escape is unstoppable, and no commander or general can stop it.
Wen Daolun was about to follow the army out of the East Gate, when someone suddenly called his name from behind.
When he turned around, he saw Zhao Linyang running out of an alley, covered in blood.
"Zhao Chengshou, what's going on?"
Zhao Linyang ran closer and pointed into the alley: "I just heard a cry for help from inside, and when I went in, I saw a giant insect eating people. My guards were defeated."
Giant insect? Wen Daolun immediately sent more than ten people into the dark alley.
"How is the battle going?" Zhao Linyang walked side by side with him naturally, and dozens of guards surrounded them in the middle.
"The overall situation of the East Gate has been decided. Cai Qiyong has gone to pursue Jin Tao's army. We must kill more of them before they escape back to the country."
Jin Tao has caused a lot of trouble to Yuheng City in the past year, so the Yuheng Army will definitely beat the fallen dog and vent their anger.
At this time, a loud noise came from the dark alley in the west, and no one knew what the explosion was.
Wen Daolun subconsciously turned his head to look.
This turn of his head exposed the back of his neck to Zhao Linyang.
Zhao Linyang approached and opened his mouth as if to speak, but suddenly someone squeezed over and patted his shoulder:
"Old Zhao!"
He turned around and saw that it was He Lingchuan who had returned.
"I encountered something. Old Wen will temporarily take charge of the East Gate. You come with me." At this point, He Lingchuan sniffed a few times and frowned, "What's the smell?"
Wen Daolun asked curiously: "What's wrong with Commander He?"
"There's something going on in the Central Division. You go about your business."
Zhao Linyang had no objection and followed He Lingchuan out of the line.
The two men turned the corner, and the two hundred elite soldiers who stayed here immediately followed.
Wen Daolun watched the two men leave, and he always felt that something was strange, but he couldn't put his finger on it.
Forget it, the war is more important.
On this side, He Lingchuan and Zhao Linyang quickly rushed to the South Gate.
Because of the Emperor Liujiang, the horses were out of control, and everyone could only run.
He Lingchuan asked Zhao Linyang: "Old Zhao, what does the giant insect you saw in the dark alley look like?"
It turned out that he had not left, and listened carefully to the conversation between the two.
Zhao Linyang seemed to think about it: "It's about the same size as a human. From the back, it looks like a person wearing a cloak."
"Then how did you find it?"
"It fell to the ground and ate a civilian."
"You have studied monsters, can you tell what kind of monster it is?"
Zhao Linyang shook his head: "No, I don't know much about monsters."
He Lingchuan said curiously: "Huh, did I remember it wrong?"
"You remembered it wrong."
He Lingchuan let out a long "oh" and stopped entangled in this topic.
On the way, when passing through the civilian area, there were often people making trouble because of Emperor Liujiang, and He Lingchuan would casually assign one or two soldiers to mediate the dispute.
After running more than a hundred steps, Zhao Linyang gradually fell behind.
Every time he slowed down, He Lingchuan would stop and wait for him: "Old Zhao, your physical fitness is not good enough. Come back and train with my army?"
