Jiaohua

Chapter 160 The chess game is messed up
The rear-line troops are all ready to go, and the commanders of each battalion are boosting morale and forming troops.

There were actually less than [-] defenders in the city, and most of them were Dasu troops. They were also the ones who were dissatisfied with Zhao Yuan before, but no one dared to neglect in such a critical period.

Shen Lie went with him, there were no more civilians here, and they all gathered to the north of the city.

Large tracts of houses in the west of the city are being artificially destroyed, falling into the flood water, splashing water, and freezing cold.

Many soldiers galloped on horseback, constantly bringing news from the front line, asking all parties to prepare for the battle.

Some are encouraging and waiting for orders, and some are running in a row. On the ruins that have been destroyed over there, more than 30 soldiers are unloading machinery and building large-scale defense equipment.

The cold night wind was blowing, the lights were dazzling in the night, the horseshoes were galloping, and Shen Lie rode behind the soldiers, walking a little slowly because it was too crowded.

In the distance, there was the eager sound of war drums and overwhelming shouts of killing. From the sound, it seemed as if groups of people could be seen colliding with each other like ears of wheat in autumn. When the weapons exchanged, sparks flashed, and it was bright red and hot. of blood.

Stopping and waiting for a large army to run past, Feng Ze and Du Xuan looked solemn, looking at the tall and straight figure in front of them, they didn't know how to speak.

At this time, a general came to the front. After seeing them, he came to inquire and learned of Shen Lie's identity. The general reined in his horse and said, "It turned out to be Mr. Shen! Mr. Shen came here in person, thanks for your hard work!"

"It doesn't have to be like this, I should, Peifeng is lucky to have you." Shen Lie said.

"However, it's better not to go to the west city now," General Lang looked at them, "The general has already led his troops out of the city, and you may not be able to find him if you go there. Why don't you tell me about this matter, and you will go with your followers?" Tianbu Mansion, you must be tired from the journey, how about going to rest when you are tired?"

"I'm not lacking. I'll personally bring the news over so they can see me." Shen Lie replied.

General Lang looked at his delicate skin and tender flesh, but he was still a little worried. This old master of the Guo family and many masters of the Guo family cared about Shen Langjun, so it was not good for him to make a slight mistake.

"So, Mr. Shen, in fact, we have received news today that Jiang Shilang's luggage will be delivered immediately, so the soldiers are already relieved, and you don't have to go there in person."

Shen Lie really didn't like the persuasion scene of pushing back and forth like this. He frowned and said, "You don't need to persuade me any more. I know Jiang Shilang sent a lot of people over, but what I'm going to say now is the exact time. Don't worry , I won't cause any trouble over there."

General Lang saw that he was a little annoyed, so he had no choice but to say: "Well, then you go first, I still have business on me."

"En." Shen Lie replied.

Watching Lang Jiang leave on horseback, Du Xuan and Feng Ze withdrew their gazes, feeling depressed.

I thought he could persuade Shen Lie to stay, but I didn't want to just leave like this.

It's no wonder that Shen Lie's temper is really too stubborn and arrogant. The longer they stay with Shen Lie, the more passive they become, and all the initiative is in Shen Lie's hands.

For example, if the old master forbids Shen Lie to associate with Shen Yan, will it work? They can't persuade them not to talk, and they have to bite the bullet and escort Shen Yan to Chongyi obediently together.

As far as they are concerned, fighting with gold and iron horses, or defending cities and mountains and rivers, and calming the people, these are indeed the righteousness of the world, but they are not soldiers, not soldiers, their first priority is to protect the whole world. Shen Lie.

After the army passed by, the soldiers leading the way moved forward, and Shen Lie followed immediately. Du Xuan and Feng Ze were extremely reluctant, but they followed up bravely.

"The general just said that someone came to the city today and said that Jiang Shilang's luggage is coming, did it arrive today?" Shen Lie asked suddenly.

The soldier nodded upon hearing the words: "Yes."

Thinking of what happened in the afternoon, the soldier couldn't help but said again: "And the person who came to deliver the message was not Jiang Shilang's man, but a little girl."

"Girls?"

"Well, she said that the people sent by Jiang Shilang had all been intercepted and killed, and she saved one of them by accident."

Feng Ze said lightly: "Then this girl is really amazing."

"That's right," the soldier looked back at him, and hurriedly said, "This girl is really powerful. We don't know how she entered the city. I was running inside, and I couldn’t catch up with her. I saw her running at a very fast speed from a distance. I heard that she was in front of our general, and she didn’t have any fear at all. She jumped up and down, and even climbed up the light pole.”

"Pfft!" Feng Ze smiled, "That's all I said, it's so exciting to say so much."

"It can be seen that this girl is really powerful," Du Xuan said, "otherwise it would be impossible for you to appreciate her so much."

"Haha," the soldier raised his hand and scratched his head, "I appreciate it... I don't quite understand, anyway, after she came, we were at ease, and she was really powerful, not many people saw our general She will not be afraid, she is really not afraid at all, I heard that we are called by the general's name very loudly, even by first name and last name."

"Speaking of little girls, I also think of one," Du Xuan said, "You keep calling girls, how old is she?"

"It's about ten years old. I only saw it from a distance, but didn't look carefully."

Du Xuan nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

"It's good to have a message." Shen Lie said.

"Yes." The soldier replied.

Shen Lie turned his eyes to look at Wang Ze Shuihai in the streets and alleys, and suddenly felt that the world is really like chess, which is very strange.

He came all the way and saw the defensive measures in the city. Before that, he must have no intention of fully preparing for war. Irresponsible guess, maybe they were already prepared to abandon the city.

After all, Shen Lie still has some trust in Li Xiao's methods. This person will never do useless work, and if he dares to drag so much luggage with his family, he must be sure to take down Zhao Zhen.

Of course, if it weren't for the heavy rain that lasted ten days, maybe the rebels wouldn't have attacked in advance.

It is extremely unwise to attack the city on a rainy night. If the other party dares to do this, it does not seem to be forced, because although Wanshanguan is flooded, there are all possible roads in the world. Choosing to attack the city on a rainy night is simply a matter of course. He didn't intend to take Zhao Yuan seriously.

After all, Pei Feng has been imprisoned here for too long. Once the army's morale collapses, there is no army that can't be defeated.

This was supposed to be a good game of chess, but Jiang Shilang's special envoy was rescued and did not die under Li Xiao's knife. The little girl who suddenly came out was really wonderful, directly messing up the game that had been set. .

How could Li Xiao make such a big mistake?

This point, Shen Lie really felt a little unbelievable.

Not to mention, now Li Xiao even left all his belongings behind, discarded his helmet and armor and fled. I am afraid that he has never been so useless in his life.
