low-key is king

Chapter 255 Chapter 250 No ambush?
Golden Wind Country, Southwest, Breaking Sun City!

This is a border city of the Golden Wind Nation. Its status is similar to that of Xuanyang Nation's northern border city, but it looks a bit more majestic. Twenty thousand soldiers are stationed in the city all the year round, which shows that the capital of the Golden Wind Nation attaches great importance to this city.

This time Ning Taiping mobilized a lot of troops in order to conquer the Xuanyang Kingdom, but he did not mobilize many troops from these big border cities. It seems that he is still guarding against the counterattack by the other side.

The importance of Duan Sun City can be seen from its name, that is to stop Xuanyang Kingdom from wanting to invade Jinfeng Kingdom.

Of course, this name was not chosen by Ning Taiping.

Many years ago, the national strength of the Golden Wind Country was not comparable to that of the Xuanyang Country, and there were several heroes in the Xuanyang Country.

At that time, Duanri City was not called this name, but changed its name after Jinfeng Kingdom drove the army of Xuanyang Kingdom out of Jinfeng Kingdom, and the purpose was clear at a glance.

Since then, Duanri City has become a strong city blocking Xuanyang Kingdom, and after Ning Taiping ascended the throne, the one who took the initiative has become Jinfeng Kingdom, and the word Duanri has another meaning.

After all, the word Yang in Xuanyang Kingdom means day.

The guard of Daybreak City is named Ding Chengyi, a martial artist who has just entered the fifth realm. He is not from the lineage of Marshal Xiao Lie, but a confidant trained by the monarch Ning Taiping himself.

This time Ding Chengyi received the order to directly lead [-] soldiers out of Sunbreaker City after the other army had obtained the results of the battle. From then on, the troops were divided into two groups and reunited in the capital of Xuanyang Kingdom.

Ding Chengyi kept receiving news about the battle situation of the army on the East Road. He was really surprised by the battle in Beilin City.

Fortunately, since then, the Golden Wind army has been in full swing, and even broke through the five strong cities of Xuanyang, which made him a little impatient.

In the early morning of this day, Ding Chengyi patrolled the various armies as usual. After boosting their morale, he had just returned to his central army hall when he heard a rush of footsteps from outside.

"Report!"

The person who came was the messenger of Duanri City, before the person arrived, he arrived first, and then the figure flashed, and the person came quickly and fell to the ground with a bow, and said loudly: "My lord, there is a Xuanyang army outside the south gate of the city." Shout out!"

"what?!"

Hearing this military report all of a sudden, Ding Chengyi's shock was truly extraordinary. He jumped up as if a spring had been installed under his buttocks, his face full of disbelief.

"Xuanyang army, how many are there?"

Ding Chengyi stepped over a few steps, grabbed the messenger's shoulder and yelled, the strength in his hand was not well controlled for a while, causing the messenger's face to show pain.

"Look... it looks like there are only about two thousand!"

The orderly didn't dare to cry out, but he didn't lose his mind at this time. He used the ambiguous word "looks like", and he knew that the general should understand what he meant.

"With a mere 2000 troops, how dare you attack me to break Sun City?"

Ding Chengyi was indeed not an idiot, he sneered when he heard the words, and heard him say: "These Xuanyang barbarians are bold, they must be trying to lure this general out of the city, there must be an ambush outside!"

"It must be so!"

The messenger who let go of his shoulder rubbed the sore spot, and agreed with admiration. In fact, he had already scolded Ding Chengyi several times in his heart, and his shoulder was almost crushed by this bastard.

"Go, go and see!"

Naturally, Ding Chengyi didn't know what the messenger was thinking. He put on the general's armor and walked out of the palace door majestically.

At this moment, the generals in Duanri City naturally got the news. When Ding Chengyi's figure appeared on the south gate wall, dozens of people were already surrounded by him.

Ding Chengyi, who was condescending, looked at the Xuanyang soldiers standing in formation outside, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, presumably he had seen through the strategy of the army outside the city.

"Really only 2000 people?"

A lieutenant next to him silently counted the Xuanyang soldiers below him, couldn't help but speak out, and then saw a few eyes cast towards him, as if they were looking at a fool.

Don't look at this guy who has already sat in the position of lieutenant general, but that's all because of his bravery and meritorious service. As for his brain, he's a little hard to use, and has always been criticized by many people in Sunbreaker City.

"Have all the scouts been sent out?"

Ding Chengyi didn't bother with the weak-minded lieutenant general, but asked a subordinate who was dressed as a scribe next to him. This is the chief staff officer in his army, and his mind is naturally far from that of the lieutenant general.

"Don't worry, general, this time I have sent two hundred scouts. I believe that definite news will come back within half a day at most!"

The middle-aged scholar gently shook the folding fan in his hand, looking confident, and seemed to have seen through the details of Xuanyang's "army" outside the city.

The opponent's real army is definitely not just 2000 people.

There are many mountains outside Duanri City. From the point of view of Ding Chengyi and his staff, the other party just wanted to use these 2000 people as bait to lure Duanri City's defenders out of the city to fight in the field. city.

But just because there are mountains outside the south gate of Duanri City, the scouts sent from the city are like a group of fish entering the sea, and the other party can't easily detect it at all. As for whether there is an army ambushing, it will be clear at a glance after a while.

"Ding Chengyi, quickly open the city and surrender, leaving you as a dead body!"

While the generals were discussing on the city wall, there was a shout of shouting from the formation below, and the generals of Duan Ri City felt a little strange to that one.

These two thousand-man teams are naturally the Shenji Battalion formed by Lu Xun.

Although the Shenji Camp only has 2000 people, the leader is Guan Xu, who is known as Xuanyang Confucian General, and is also the favorite disciple of Prime Minister Zhao Qidong.

When he was in Dongyuan City, it was Zhao Qidong who took the risk and entered the city to persuade Guan Xu to go anyway. Afterwards, Guan Xu was also reused by Zhendong King, and now he is the ruler of Shenjiying.

Today's Guan Xu has broken through to the level of the first five realms.

As for the one who yelled just now, it is Ancient Banner, a Martial Artist of the Four Realms. He was the captain of the personal guard in the Zhendong Prince's Mansion for a while, and now he was transferred by Lu Xun to the Shenji Battalion to assist Guan Xu.

Guan Xu is a Confucian general, so naturally he would not yell in front of the battle, but at this time, a figure like Gu Qi is needed to charge the battle, and his words are naturally extremely provocative.

In fact, only these 2000 people came to Duanri City this time, and the Golden Wind army was not a vegetarian. The strength of other parts of the Xuanyang Kingdom was very tight, and we had to focus on dealing with the main force of the Golden Wind Kingdom.

And perhaps it was also because of this that the defenders of Sunbreak City underestimated the enemy and prepared for the next battle.

"Have you released all the scouts from Duan Sun City?"

Guan Xu didn't care about Gu Qi's loud provocation, but asked someone next to him in a low voice.

This person is also an old acquaintance, but Hua Guang, the fourth-rank poison master of the Lord's Mansion of Watanabe City.

The leadership of Shenji Battalion is all the elite recruited by Lu Xun. It goes without saying that a fourth-grade poison master can play a role, but what Lu Xun values ​​more is Huaguang's adaptability.

If this person was just an idiot, he wouldn't have escaped with his life repeatedly in Lu Xun's hands.

Lu Xun is not pedantic, even if Huaguang offended him, but now that he is controlling him, of course he can make the best use of it.

This guy is a smart guy, so he shouldn't do anything irrational, right?
Guan Xu's questioning at this moment is almost exactly the same as Ding Chengyi's questioning on the city wall just now, the only difference is the difference between "come" and "go".

If these words were heard by Ding Chengyi, I don't know how he would feel. It seems that Duan Richeng's response is all under the control of this Confucian general of Xuanyang.

"The general predicts everything like a god!"

Huaguang is no longer the high-ranking master of the Lord's Mansion of Watanabe City. He knows that Lu Xun attaches great importance to Guan Xu, so he doesn't mind flattering him.

Guan Xu didn't care about these things. After getting the answer he wanted, he began to close his eyes and meditate. After all, it would take some time for those scouts to pass the news back.

Guan Xu in front was still yelling and cursing, and after a short silence on the city wall, there was also a voice of cursing.

It turned out that the lieutenant general, who was more than brave and lacking in mind, didn't hold back, and Ding Chengyi didn't stop him. No matter how he didn't care about the other party's scolding, it was still uncomfortable to hear.

Time passed by every minute and every second, and the early morning sun quickly rose to the center of the sky. When noon approached, a figure finally appeared on the wall of the south gate of Duanri City.

The appearance of this figure made Ding Chengyi and others move their eyes slightly, but they did not see a certain Xuanyang Confucian general under the city gate, and raised their eyes slightly.

"How? Is there an army ambushing? How many people are there?"

The middle-aged staff member dressed as a scribe couldn't wait, so he asked directly. It seemed that he got an affirmative answer, which showed his strategizing and exhaustive strategies.

Ding Chengyi and the others naturally thought the same way. They never believed that a mere two thousand soldiers from Xuanyang would dare to attack the city, and what was more, they were attacking Duanri City, which was easy to defend and difficult to attack.

But after the middle-aged scribe's voice fell, the old scout that everyone was staring at had a very strange look on his face, and he seemed to have no idea how to word it for a while.

"You said it!"

The somewhat reckless lieutenant general was full of impatience, if the scout was not quite senior, he would have slapped him in the face, telling you to dare to show off at such a time.

"My lord general, no... no ambush!"

The lieutenant's shout brought the scout back to his senses at last, and he took a deep breath, and the words he said immediately made the entire south gate of Duanri City instantly quiet.

"impossible!"

The middle-aged scribe was a bit unacceptable for a while, but after he said this, he obviously saw the old scout cast a gloomy look at him. Did he not believe me or what?
This old man in the army who has been a scout for decades is one of the most elite scouts in Daybreak City.

He believed that he would never be wrong, at least in the mountainous area to the east within [-] miles of Duan Ri City, there would be absolutely no enemy ambushes.
