Call of the Deer

Chapter 476 Empty city tricks, fighting wits and courage

Outside Lingnan City, the atmosphere is tense, with [-] coalition troops patrolling day and night, fearing that Xue Rengui from Hancheng in the west and Long Qie from Huancheng in the east will lead their troops to attack;

At this moment, the defenders of Lingnan City are guarded by Liu Yu's general Gan Mao and Cangzhou King's general Niu Fu!

"Brother Niu, you said that Xue Rengui and Long Qi are aggressively attacking, how should we defend?"

Gan Mao stood on the city wall, looking towards the north, with a worried expression on his face, looking at Niu Fu;

"My lord ordered you and me to guard Lingnan City to the death. Now Lingnan City is just an isolated city. It seems that you and I may become outcasts."

Niu Fu's face was miserable, he looked towards the north, his arms trembled, and finally heaved a long sigh, feeling like a hero's twilight!

"Hehe, Brother Niu, I am lucky to have met you once. The best fate of a soldier is to die in battle. In the final battle, you and I will do our best."

Gan Mao patted Niu Fu on the shoulder. Although he was lost, he was old and strong, and there was a kind of light in his eyes that he regarded death as home.

"As it should be, the lord will treat you and my family kindly. I will try my best to delay and buy time for the lords."

Niu Fu's wife and children were all in Cangzhou, and now that they were killed in battle, they had an explanation to Dong Cheng, and Dong Cheng would surely not embarrass his wife and children.
Gan Luo, Gan Mao's son, is highly valued by Liu Yu, and now he can only fight to the death to buy time for Liu Yu.

Outside the east gate of Lingnan City, Gao Ang led an army of [-] troops, stationed here, waiting for Xue Rengui's arrival
"General, there are 2 guards in the city, 8000 guards at the north gate, 5000 guards at the south gate, and [-] guards at each of the east and west gates."

The scouts sent out came to report, and when they heard the words, they frowned slightly;
"Huh? What's going on here? Where are those dog thieves going south?"

Gao Ang was puzzled in his heart, he couldn't understand where the 15 troops had gone, and fell into silence for a while.
"Report, report to the general, General Xue is already thirty miles to the west"

Outside the east gate of Lingnan City, Long Qi led an army of [-] troops and stationed there. His heart was itching, and he was already planning to storm the east gate.
"Report, general, the military adviser Fei Ge sent a letter, ordering you to attack immediately. You must break through Lingnan City before Xue Rengui arrives. This is the military adviser's letter."

Just when Long Qi was hesitating, Jing Xiang suddenly sent a letter from Fei Ge!
"Oh, it's good that the military adviser sent a letter. I'm really afraid of missing the military adviser's business, so I dare not attack for a while, otherwise I would have broken the south city of Laoshiziling long ago."

Seeing Jingxiang's hand order, Long Qi was overjoyed, his eyebrows danced, and he slapped his thigh, planning to attack the city
Dianzhou Huancheng, the defense in the city is extremely empty at this time, only Yang Zhi and his thousand soldiers under his command;
All the soldiers were anxious, for fear that suddenly a large group of people would rush into the city and cut them down to the ground.

Only Jing Xiang, holding a feather fan, stands proudly on the top of the city, looking towards the direction of Lingnan City;
"Looks like it's time for the dragon to attack the city. Xu Shiji, Wang Meng, Li Ru, Fan Zeng, Wen Zhong, I expect you to be very resourceful. Jingmou also knows that you will not go south by sea."

With Jingxiang Zhizhu in his hands, it seems that he already has a countermeasure!

"I just hope that Xue Rengui can understand it sooner and defend Hancheng before the reinforcements arrive, otherwise I'm afraid he will go back to the mountain."

When talking about the defense battle of Hancheng, Jingxiang's face became serious, and he also knew that the defense battle of Hancheng was the key point of this victory;

"Report, report to the military division. According to the report from the scouts, an army was found fifty miles outside the west city gate, with a number of [-]."

At this moment, the spies sent out came to report in panic, and Yang Zhi's face changed drastically when he heard this;

"Military division, [-] troops are coming to attack, what should we do? How can we defend this Huancheng?"

Yang Zhi was originally a martial artist, how could he have the ability to face a mountain collapse without changing his expression, he panicked suddenly, he almost knelt down in fright!

"Hehe, it's okay, Jingmou has his own strategy to defeat the enemy, don't panic, you should find two boys and bring over the zither from my study."

Facing the panic-stricken Yang Zhi, Jing Xiang naturally would not despise him. No one can remain calm in this situation!

"Military division, don't worry, Yang Zhi will definitely protect the military division, and the military division should retreat as soon as possible."

Although Yang Zhi trusted Jing Xiang, he didn't dare to joke about Jing Xiang's life, and looked at Jing Xiang hesitantly.

"Okay, just do what I say, Jingmou has his own strategy to defeat the enemy, you don't need to ask!"

Jing Xiang rolled his eyes and glanced at Yang Zhi lightly.

Jing Xiang said so, Yang Zhi naturally did not dare to continue to disobey, he could only obey, but his heart was fluctuating, not at all stable.

Three hours later, Liu Yu and Chen Baxian led an army of [-] soldiers, with Xiao Mahe as the vanguard, approaching the city of Huancheng.
I saw that the gate of Huancheng was wide open, and pedestrians in the city were walking back and forth in an endless stream, without any sense of tension at all when the army was approaching the city.

Now Xiao Mahe was puzzled, looking at the wide open city gate, wondering what this meant, could it be that the enemy knew they were coming, and had already fled away?

"General, what do you think he is doing?"

Lieutenant General Xiao Moha seemed to hear a faint sound of zither, looked up, and saw Jing Xiang on the top of the city, was shocked, and hurriedly pointed in the direction of Jing Xiang
"Huh? Someone seems to be playing the piano?"

Xiao Mahe is in a mess now, all the soldiers are approaching the city, the fire is imminent, these people don't know how to escape, but still have the leisure to play the piano, isn't this the old birthday star who eats arsenic and hates his life?

"General, how about we take the opportunity to rush in and kill him by surprise, what does the general think?"

Seeing this, the deputy general showed a cruel smile on his face, a little eager to try;
This scene made Xiao Mahe a little afraid to act rashly, so he could only send someone to send a message to Chen Baxian and Liu Yu.
Soon, Chen Baxian and Liu Yu led the army to the front of the city, looking at Jing Xiang who was burning incense and playing the piano on the top of the city, his face changed slightly.

"Brother Liu, look at the person at the top of the city, it seems that Jing Xiang, the counselor under Bei Minghao's command, does not know what the hell this person is doing, he dared to open the city gate wide, isn't he afraid that I will kill him and chop his head off?" fall?"

Chen Baxian looked at Liu Yu with some doubts, he really didn't know how brave this Jing Xiang was, playing the piano in front of him, looking calm and breezy!
"Brother Chen, don't be impatient for the time being. This Jingxiang has set up a suspicious array, and I don't know what is true or false in the city. I can't be rash. If there are heavy troops in the city, I will go in rashly. Ambushed."

Liu Yu was originally a suspicious person, so he hesitated for a while, looking at Jing Xiang on the city wall with a solemn expression.
"Let's wait until I ask the last question!"

"The people in the city are Mr. Jingxiang Jingzizhen?"

"Hehe, it turns out to be the King of Suzhou. I have been waiting for you for a long time. The city has already prepared a banquet. Please come to the city for a while!"

Jing Xiang looked indifferently, looked at Liu Yu below lightly, and said with a light smile!

"Thank you, Mr. Zizhen, for your kindness. Mr. Liu passed by here, and please ask Mr. Zizhen to let me pass by."

Liu Yu was taken aback when he heard the words, with a look of fear in the corner of his eyes, and said seriously!
"It's okay to raise your hand. The king of Suzhou is going to go south to the East China Sea. Jingmou will not stop him, but he must promise that he will not be with Li Shimin in the future. Otherwise, please redeem Jingmou and refuse to agree."

Jing Xiang shook his feather fan lightly, and said lightly, it seemed that Liu Yu refused to agree, and immediately rushed out of the city?

"This is as long as Mr. Zizhen allows Liu to live, and Liu promises not to associate with Li Shimin in the future."

The jealousy in Liu Yu's eyes was even worse, after thinking for a while, he agreed to Jing Xiang's request.
"Okay, King of Suzhou, remember what he said, otherwise my lord will definitely send troops to conquer Suzhou. I think you should know that my lord has this ability."

Suddenly Jing Xiang's face changed, became very cold, and said in a rather unfriendly tone!
"Mr. Zizhen, don't worry, Liu will keep his promise"

The corners of Liu Yu's eyes twitched, and he became even more jealous of Jingxiang, and then looked at Huancheng, as if Huancheng was a giant beast with its mouth open.
"Since this is the case, then Jingmou will not stop it, the king of Suzhou can do it himself."

Jing Xiang still looked indifferent, as if he was just discussing with Liu Yu
"Thank you Mr. Zizhen for your kind hand, I will take my leave."

Seeing Jingxiang let him go, Liu Yu's expression immediately eased a lot, he bowed his hands to thank him, and then led the army to leave.

"Brother Liu, what is the meaning of this? Why don't you attack the city? The city is so empty. This Jingxiang is Bei Minghao's right-hand man. Killing this person, but breaking Bei Minghao's arm, how can Brother Liu let it go like this?" Good opportunity?"

Chen Ba first saw that Liu Yu didn't seem to be planning to attack, so he hurriedly asked and ordered Liu Yu to attack the city!

"Hehe, Brother Chen, this Jingxiang is known as a conspiracy, how could he put himself in a dangerous place, there must be ambushes in the city, the so-called false and true, the real and the false, the soldiers are not tired of deceit, maybe Jing Xiang set up suspicious formations just to lure me When the army enters the city, how can we attack rashly?"

"And you also know that this person is Bei Minghao's right-hand man. If we kill Jingxiang, how will we face Bei Minghao's anger? Do you think Li Shimin will help?"

Liu Yu glanced lightly at Chen Baxian, and said coldly.

"Brother Liu said that it was Chen's thinking that was too simple."

Chen Ba smiled awkwardly, looking quite embarrassed, but he didn't think about it that much!
"Then what should I do?"

"I'll go east to Luoyungang. If Jing Xiang pursues it, Huancheng will be empty. If I don't pursue it, there will be heavy troops in the city. I'll leave immediately."

Liu Yu strategized and reprimanded Fang Qiu, as if he had already seen through Jing Xiang's trick!

"Why? You mean."

Chen Baxian seemed to have realized something, and his face revealed a look of sudden realization.
"That's right, if Jing Xiang had a ghost in his heart, he would send troops to chase after him."

"Okay, then according to what Brother Liu said, I'll leave later and see Jingxiang's reaction."

Chen Baxian also agreed with Liu Yu's intention, intending to follow Liu Yu's lead.
Soon, Liu Yu and Chen Baxian's [-] troops hurriedly left Huancheng and headed towards the East China Sea
Seeing this, Jing Xiang on the city wall also heaved a sigh of relief, and ordered Yang Zhi to make some noise in the city, making Liu Yu mistakenly believe that what he thought was true.
Sure enough, Liu Yu showed a look of rejoicing after hearing the scout's report.

"Brother Liu, what's the matter? Is it because of Jingxiang's suspicion?"

"No, this Jing Xiang is really cunning, he really is showing the enemy his weakness, please enter the urn, fortunately Liu is careful, otherwise he might be ambushed by this thief."

Liu Yu patted his chest, heaved a sigh of relief, and said bitterly
Soon, Liu Yu led his army to head towards the East China Sea.
ps: Dear book friends, this is the end, I hope you can give me a lot of support, the recommendation ticket and the monthly ticket are all given to me. Today, my brother joins the army and congratulates me. There are many people in the family, so there are so many updates. I hope everyone can understand and wish everyone blessings My brother can have a good future in the military.)

The moon and stars were sparse, and Xia Chan twittered. In the dark mountain forest, a group of people groped in the darkness, holding hands, and crawled forward.

The leader of this group of people is Ling Yun. Ling Yun is wearing red flame armor and holding a wind and thunder gun, walking in front of them.

And their goal is the nearest Huxiao Village, the owner of Huxiao Village is named Hu Ba.

As the name suggests, Hu Ba is domineering and cruel, full of evil, causing disasters in the village, taking many lives on his hands, harming many women from good families, and being hunted down by the government.

However, this person is quite powerful, relying on his own strength, he established the Huxiao Village, where he is domineering.

Soon, a group of more than a thousand people touched the foot of Huxiao Mountain. They held their breath and followed Ling Yun quietly.

Everyone looked up the mountain, and saw that in the cottage, a group of bandits Hu Tianhai were eating and drinking, and there were many crying girls dancing in the middle of the crowd, singing and dancing.

"Hey, these thieves will enjoy it. I'm exposed to the wind and sun here. It's really unreasonable for people to drink flower wine and listen to music in the village."

When Ling Yun saw this Hu Ba watching the girl dance in the village, he ate everything he had, and his heart was filled with emotion.

"Hmph, later I will act for the heavens and kill this dog thief."

Ling Yun gritted his teeth and looked at Hu Ba surrounded by women in front of Juyi Hall, secretly making up his mind.

The good times will always pass, but within an hour, a group of bandits fell to the ground drunk, wailing and sleeping, their mouths had already started talking in their dreams, and their sleep was very restless.

"Action, Li Gang, take a team and follow me to the village quietly."

"Mahou, bring other people and surround Huxiao Village for me, don't let them go, or I'll ask you!"

Afterwards Ling Yun led a hundred masters to kill the bandits of Huxiao Village who were guarding the gate of the village, and hurriedly tiptoed into Huxiao Village.

At this time in the cottage, almost all the bandits were drunk and fell asleep on the ground, while Hu Ba also fell asleep lying on the table.

When those girls saw Ling Yun and his party coming in, they thought they were from Huxiao Village, and they curled up in fright, terrified, not daring to speak out.

Ling Yun touched Hu Ba's face, picked up his long spear and was about to stab him down, when suddenly Hu Ba woke up with a start, leaped back, narrowly avoiding Ling Yun's sure blow.
