Yipin Danxian

Chapter 176
Not long after Young Master Cheng Shuang left the city, the two riders followed and left Shangyong, but in the opposite direction to Cheng Shuang, headed north and circled the city.

Master Dong Sun and Dong Da came out of the city again, and they were ordered to report to Chu State with the letter of credence. On the way, they first chased Yanhua, who had set off early last night, and if they couldn't catch up, they went straight to Yingdu.

Being able to serve as the messenger is Xinjun's trust in Wu Sheng and his recognition of the abilities of the two of them - just last night, the original letter from Yangzhou Yin they brought back is still fresh in Xinjun's memory.

Just ten miles out of the city, someone shouted on the side of the road: "But shopkeeper Dong?"

Master Dongsun reined in his horse and stopped, and saw two figures on the side of the road, which could not be seen clearly in the night.But since he called out the name "Treasurer Dong", he thought he was an acquaintance, so he drove his horse closer.

This time, it was finally distinguished that it was Mo You, the alchemist of the Kui Kingdom, and Yuezhong, the alchemist of the Yu Kingdom.

"Why are the two alchemists here?" Dong Sun asked, and then said: "I have something important to do, so I won't be polite to the two alchemists..."

Mo You said anxiously: "The two of us made an appointment to visit Master Shen. When we stayed in the savage village outside Yutou City, we saw the army of the Yu Kingdom passing by and heading south. Arrive at Shangyong as soon as possible to help the eldest son ascend the throne. I don't understand what this means, but I know that the situation in Shangyong has changed in recent months, so I rushed all night to report to Master Shen."

Yue Zhongdao: "I don't know how safe Master Shen is. If there is a real danger of war, you must quickly ask Master Shen to leave the city. I heard that a gentleman should prevent disasters first and not hurt later, and should not stand under a dangerous pole. Things cannot be taken for granted.”

Master Dong Sun and Dong Da looked at each other in dismay. Both of them were the main force of the palace change tonight. When they heard about such a big event, they immediately knew that it was not good. However, Dong Da hurriedly returned to the city to report.

Qingyu was discussing with all the officials in the palace the ceremony to pay homage to the ancestors. When he first heard the letter, he couldn't help being shocked and angry. While asking Men Yin to close the city gates and Sima to recruit his followers and countrymen, he immediately discussed the strategy of retreating from the enemy.

The news that Dong Da brought back came from the two alchemists, Mo and Yue, but what the two alchemists knew was not accurate, but in connection with the changes in the city tonight, many things were self-evident.

The murlocs raised an army, and the exact scale was not visible in the dark night, but what the two alchemists witnessed with their own eyes in the village, there were eight chariots in front and behind.According to the military system of Yuguo, when troops are sent out, they are usually divided into three divisions: left, middle, and right. Each division has different formation methods of large, middle, and small. There are three soldiers and fifty soldiers.

When taking the initiative to send troops, it is usually the small and medium-sized vehicles, and only when defending the country will the large-scale vehicles be implemented.

They saw that the eight chariots with their own eyes should belong to the same division, that is, the ten chariots. Based on this calculation, the total strength of the murloc army should be around 2000 soldiers and [-] soldiers. Half of the main army, adding up the two, is about [-] people.

Although Yuguo has been strong in recent years, the limelight is higher than that of Yongguo, but its national power is still lower than that of Yongguo. Counting all women, children, old and young, the population of the country will not exceed 5000, [-] people less than Yongguo, and it ranks first among the four countries. second.

Such a small number of people, but sent [-] soldiers, it is absolutely impossible to come just to help a pair seize the throne, although the possibility of destroying Yong is extremely small-the state of Chu is in charge, and Yu Jun does not dare, but fighting After entering Shangyong, if you don't eat and wipe it clean, how can you retreat?
If the murlocs were really allowed to enter the city, Yongguo would suffer a heavy blow, and it would be impossible for at least ten years to recover.

Thinking of this, the former Chengshuang party members were all extremely angry, and everyone cursed at Chengshuang, Zhong Gu sighed: "It's a pity that Lu Sikong..."

Dianling Yongzang was even more enraged, he gritted his teeth and said, "It's a matter here, I will kill you in pairs!"

After researching and judging the strength of the troops, it is time to analyze the murloc's marching route. According to the two alchemists, the murloc army did not march directly to the west, but chose to go south. The intention is not difficult to guess.

At the border between the two countries, there are many savage villages, but there are few in the south. The murlocs must have chosen to detour to the south in order to deceive people.

With a gesture on the map, the murloc's marching route was immediately drawn, first going south to the northern border of the Lianshan Mountains, heading west along the Kuyeling Road, detouring around Matoupo, and entering the Little Yellow Plains.

The whole journey is eighty miles, and you can avoid all the savage villages in Yongguo and Lianshan. If you drive lightly, start before dusk, and you can reach Shangyong the next day.

It's four o'clock now, and there is not much time left.

"Has Yuan Qing finished recruiting sergeants yet?" Qing Yu was a little anxious.

"This is not a time of war. Last night, the people of the country were asleep. It may take two hours to get together." Yong Zifu replied.This is a way of comforting Qingyu. In fact, after another three or four hours, it may not be possible to gather all the soldiers.

The door Yin Yongji said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, all the guests were there last night, and most of them were still waiting outside the palace. I ask you to issue an edict and take them to the city first. Even if the murlocs attack the city, you can still be safe. Yu."

Although it was too late to summon the soldiers, there was also a benefit in the outer court last night. Most of the retainers were gathered on standby, and the guards were afraid of surprise attacks. Now we have the news in advance that there are more than [-] soldiers from the country to defend the city, and there are people on the city wall. The magic weapon for defending the city, as Yong Ji said, is not a big problem.

Qingyu also came to his senses, stabilized his emotions, and said bitterly: "It's a pity that I can't fight back!"

He is not an incompetent person, and he is also a soldier himself. Going out of the city to fight in the field is different from monks' fighting methods. When there is a well-equipped army formation, the death will be very ugly.

"Can you find a way to delay the murloc's progress?" Qingyu really wanted to go out of the city to fight back, hoping to buy some time.In terms of human population, there are more mediocre countries than fish countries, and in terms of combat ability, mediocre people are better than murlocs. It is a bit reconciled to be bullied by murlocs like this, and not to show the other party some color.

No one is willing to be bullied by Yu Guo, especially since they are invited by the eldest son, it is even more humiliating.

But how to delay the advance of the murlocs is a headache.

Zhong Gu stood up and said, "Your servant, please lead your disciples to stop the murlocs!"

This is the preparation to die, how could Qingyu be willing?Immediately refused: "The attack with thirty military chariots is already more than half of Yu Kingdom's troops, and most of Yu Jun's relatives are here. You have a high level of cultivation, but you are outnumbered. It is very dangerous. If something happens to you, it will be pain for mediocrity and pain for widows!"

Subconsciously looking at Wu Sheng: "What's your plan?"

Wu Sheng thought of something, thought for a moment and said: "Zhong Situ can go out of the city to stop him, maybe he can make Mr. Yu come back. I heard that when the Qin State attacked Zheng, Zheng Renxian came across Master Qin by chance. One plan is to bring cattle and sheep to Qin Shuai, claiming to be on behalf of Zheng Jun to reward the teacher, Qin Shuai thinks that Zheng Guo is prepared, so he withdraws his troops."

Wu Sheng really didn't know if this incident had ever happened, but fortunately, no matter what he said was right or wrong, he could use "I heard it" to cover it up, so he wouldn't be afraid to show his timidity.

"I tasted it" and "I heard it" are really good words!
