in the edge

Chapter 105 Drumming, marching

Five days later, outside Yanzhou City.

Riding on the horse, Xiang Rong looked at the not-so-majestic city in front of him, full of thoughts.

He was a little curious about how this disciple left behind by Ruan Shantao was going to deal with him. You must know that he had just led his army across the river bank where it was easiest to deploy a line of defense, and also passed through the mountain forest where it was easiest to set up an ambush... From the beginning to the end, he always I didn't see any arrangement, as if the resistance of Yanzhou City didn't exist at all.

This is not like the style taught by Ruan Shantao. If it was his old friend, he would definitely rely on the environment and set up several lines of defense to kill as many grassland soldiers under his command as possible and drag them to death as much as possible. In the countryside of Yanzhou, Ruan Shantao himself will focus on marking and suppressing him and the fierce generals he brought with him.

After being weakened layer by layer, even if the vanguard army could reach the city wall, they would be drained of their last drop of blood by Ruan Shantao under the city wall.

If Da Chu's Overlord Halberd had not been used, this battle would probably have ended like this. Even though Ruan Shantao, who was sitting in Yanzhou, only had a bad hand, Xiang Rong never doubted the ability of his old friend. , if he didn't use some extra moves, he might not be able to beat him.

But now, there is nothing.

There is nothing, nothing along the way, lines of defense, ambushes, traps, traps... nothing.Along the way, let alone Nan Chen's soldiers, he has never even seen a horse riding a horse.Even at this moment, he had led his army to the city of Yanzhou, but he still didn't see any traces of guards on the city wall.

The huge Yanzhou City seems to have become an empty city at this moment.

This is not like Ruan Shantao's style, but Xiang Rong has already guessed what the other party is thinking.

"Are you trying to scare me?"

Xiang Rong sneered.

Indeed, the most frightening thing is the unknown, because no one knows what kind of danger is hidden here - if another general comes here, I am afraid that he will really retreat and set up camp at this moment. After all, not everyone is willing to take risks. , to face the fear of the unknown.

But Xiang Rong is not afraid of this.

As the last surviving member of the Chu royal family, Xiang Rong had a bold temperament.When he was still young, he dared to hide his name and went to Jiankang, the capital of the Southern Chen court, and even mixed into the Taixue as a student. After that, he traveled all over the world, and when he came to the border of Jibei, But it was much earlier than Ruan Shantao came to Yanzhou.After confirming the decline of the Southern Chen court, he even went to the Mobei royal court alone, and as a southerner, with his own ability, he won the position of the Mobei national teacher.

Such a daring person has long put life and death aside, it's just an empty city, how can he be scared?
What's more, he still has a reason to go to the city.

The Overlord's Halberd lodged in the spine has not drank blood for a long time, and it has been declining more and more. A blood sacrifice of sufficient scale is necessary to restore a little power to the divine soldier. He didn't even want to let go of Ruan Shantao's broken body after he turned into a monster.

That's still not very good. On the one hand, as he said, Ruan Shantao's will is not compatible with the Overlord's Halberd. If he insists on using it, he will just drink poison to quench his thirst. On the other hand, it is an old friend from the past after all. To take his body is somewhat disrespectful.

What's more, compared to Ruan Shantao's remnant body, isn't there a better target for the blood sacrifice?

"A city of more than [-] people... is a bit small, but it should be able to satisfy the Overlord Halberd a little bit, right?"

Thinking of this, Xiang Rong drew out the soft sword at his waist.

"Listen to my orders! Enter the city!"

"Enter the city!"

"Enter the city!"

Amidst the shouts of the messengers and the thundering drums of the wizards, two invisible sword lights shattered the city gate with a bang.

And Xiang Rong, with his [-] vanguard army, gradually marched into the city.

Several fierce generals armed with fierce weapons were dispatched by Xiang Rong to lead the troops to advance steadily. As the strongest force in the vanguard, Xiang Rong himself also led the army alone, at the main line of Yanzhou City. They were advancing on the road - but even after entering the city, the vanguard still didn't see any resistance.

They didn't even see anyone alive.

"……Um?"

Xiang Rong's brows suddenly frowned, he always felt that something was wrong.

Even if Yanzhou City wants to use empty city tactics to intimidate him, it can't hide all the more than [-] residents of Yanzhou City, right?

The battle has actually become so big...why didn't he receive any news before?
"Is there still no one to see?"

Xiang Rong inquired about the probing horses under his command.

And those scouting horse riders were also puzzled. As the first scouts, they had been around the city for a while, but they didn't even see half of the living people, let alone the southerners ambush.

In the houses on the side of the road, there are still a lot of food and clothing, and even leftover money. It is obvious that those people who originally lived in Yanzhou City left in a hurry, and they could even be called rough.

"It's almost like being kicked out."

This is the final answer from the Tanma Rangers.

"It seems like these southerners really abandoned the city and fled."

"Amazing! The national teacher is mighty!"

"Worthy of being a national teacher!"

"With the help of the National Teacher, those weak southerners will not even want the city!"

Hearing the rewards from the scouting horse rangers, many grassland generals couldn't help laughing, and they all praised Xiang Rong's achievements-this is indeed worthy of praise, you must know that this is the first time they have fought such a comfortable battle.Without a single soldier, the enemies were all scared away. They had never seen such a scene before.

Just for this point, Xiang Rong's status in their hearts has been infinitely elevated, and he can even be compared with the god-like Khan who lives in the depths of Mobei.

But only Xiang Rong couldn't laugh.

"wrong."

Xiang Rong's brows frowned tightly.

"No, no, no... no! The situation has changed! Get the other troops to withdraw! We must not divide our forces now!"

"Varied……"

All the grassland generals have not yet reacted. They don't know why the master's temperament suddenly changed.

It was clear that they were already on the verge of victory, and the entire Yanzhou City had fallen into their control. How could they suddenly...

"kill!!!"

At this time, there were harsh shouts of killing coming from the distant streets and alleys. They were the voices of the prairie soldiers.

Immediately afterwards, blazing flames pierced the sky.

"It's you!"

The familiar fire appeared in front of him again, Xiang Rong's eyes widened with anger, and he was filled with evil aura like an angry lion!

"how dare you!"

"You really dare to come in..."

In the streets and alleys in the distance, Du Chengfeng, who was riding on a horse, raised his eyes to look into the distance, and continued to wave the thick sword in his hand by the way.

The blazing blade of fire swept across, bringing up a large number of stumped limbs and arms, and fell among the ruins.

With just one blow, eleven prairie soldiers died on the spot.

But Du Chengfeng on the horse sighed.

"Not enough..."

Looking at the big knife in his hand, Du Chengfeng patted the blade lightly to comfort him.

"Don't worry, there is something."
