Chapter 177 Yuanli (1)

The horse was not stopped, and the feet were not stopped. Ling Duanshang and his party finally walked out of Xuyuan Mountain at dusk on the second day, but the soldiers and generals in the army were still moving forward like walking corpses. When they reached the vicinity of Yishan Village, they saw the smoke rising from the cooking stove. Seeing the smoke, the soldiers and generals felt relieved. Finally, after Xu Guang's order, the entire army stopped moving forward and rectified and rested here.

Since there was no tent, Ma Lian and others went to the mountain village to borrow a private house. The rest lasted for a day and two nights. General Ma said he would not leave immediately, and would rather delay the military and sleep well.

After Ling Duanshang got the tiger blood, the materials for drawing talismans were complete, but he was in the military camp with many eyes, so he naturally would not be stupid enough to practice drawing talismans.

The next morning, the sky was still waiting for dawn. With the villages in this small mountain village, the Huiyang City army finally set off on its way.

This mountain village is located on the outskirts of the north of Xuyuan Mountain, and is still more than 600 miles away from Yindu. In order to ensure that the soldiers under his command have sufficient energy, this marching will give up on the road overnight, but will marching in the daytime and rest in the evening. Therefore, the 800-mile journey of Huiyang Army took nearly six days to reach dozens of miles outside Yindu City...

When he arrived here, Ling Duanshang did not see the smoke of gunpowder or the sound of killing on the battlefield, nor did he see a corpse, and even the crows wandering on the battlefield to peck at the rotten corpse. As close as Yindu, there was silence everywhere.

"Report——" The scout ahead rode a horse and tied the reins in front of Ma Lian, dismounted and knelt down and said, "Report to General, there is no one guarding Yin in front, and there is no sound in the city, including the west side, there is no sound!"

The city of Yindu faces westward, with Huiyang Army to the east, and the west is a boundary between Qing and Wei. After crossing this river, it is the boundary between Qing and Qing.

"Where are you investigating the situation?" Xu Guangzhe immediately stepped forward and looked at the scout.

"Sir, the young man has just wandered around the outside of the city for nearly a stick of incense."

Ma Lian's face shook and said angrily: "Why don't you go into the city to investigate?"

The scout turned pale when he heard this, and his head lowered and said anxiously: "General, I dare not! There seems to be no one in the city. I am afraid that there will be some monsters and monsters that will break into the city and eat up all the people inside!" At the end of the conversation, the scout seemed to remember the scene of the two demons fighting in Xuyuan Mountain, and his whole body trembled like a sieve.

"Bad!" Ma Lian saw that he was so drooling, cursed, turned to look at Xu Guang and said, "Person Xu, this Yin is so strange. According to my general's opinion, we should just stay a hundred miles away and wait for another army to arrive before making a long-term plan."

"General!" Xu Guang clasped his fists and said, "It has been 26 days since our Huiyang army arrived here, and it has been five more days longer than the plan. I am afraid that all the southern troops will arrive the latest. It may be inappropriate to wait for other troops here. In the opinion of the general, the general will go to Yindu City to investigate and make plans!"

Unexpectedly, Ma Lian shook his head repeatedly after hearing this: "Person Xu, you can't go! I still have to rely on your protection for my life. So, I will send Duan Jian and Ren Wufei, who are skilled in martial arts, to temporarily serve as scouts and go to Yindu to explore!" Ma Lian's tone was tough, and Xu Guang could no longer refute.

"Duan Jian, Ren Wufei, I will let you wait for the two of you to explore Yindu City!" Ma Lian turned around and looked at the two behind him. Since experiencing the incident in Xuyuan Mountain, Ma Lian has gathered among the powerful generals by his side to help him at any time...

Ling Duanshang and Ren Wufei rode their horses to a little outside the city, looking at the empty space inside the east gate of Yindu, Ren Wufei couldn't help but wonder.

"Sir, this city is indeed a bit weird! No one guards the city!"

Ling Duanshang did not say anything, and his eyes looked into the city through the gaps in the city gate, stopped the horses from galloping, and instead trotted, gradually approaching the city gate. When he was close to a hundred feet, Ling Duanshang tied the reins and waved his hand to stop Ren Wufei's move forward.

"Sir?" Ren Wufei asked a little puzzled.

"A hundred feet apart, Wei, Qing, and Yan's longbows are the longest range!" Ling Duanshang said without looking back, staring at the top of the city wall, constantly moving from left to right, and from right to left, just not moving forward.

After a while, Ling Duanshang's voice came from Ren Wufei's ears: "Go forward ten feet slowly. If there is no abnormality, go to the city gate at full speed!"

The two of them drove the horses forward ten feet slowly. After not finding anything unusual in the city, they shouted softly and slapped the horse's belly and ran forward. They arrived in a short distance of dozens of feet, and nothing happened until the city gate.

Ren Wufei's eyes fell on Ling Duanshang, who was as calm as an ancient well in front of him, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "This sword is not an ordinary brave and unscheming reckless man. He stopped, slowed down, and rushed. Even ordinary generals could not know these three steps, but they didn't know where he was practicing!"

With a dull sound, the heavy city gate was pushed open by Ling Duanshang. Ren Wufei heard Ling Duanshang's uniform breath and another look of surprise appeared on his face. Since Yindu is located in a dangerous place and is the only fortress leading to the Wei Kingdom, these city gates are all extremely thick, embedded in pig iron, wrapped in thick wood, and edges of copper leather. Generally, it is necessary to open this door, which is probably five strong soldiers. But at this moment, this sword actually pushed the door open with one hand and its breath is stable. Then the mellow true energy in his body is probably at a high level!

After Ling Duanshang slowly pushed open the city gate, the two rode into the city on horseback.

The sight of the street is a wide and unobstructed street, and you can see the west gate nearly ten miles away at a glance. In order to facilitate the mobilization of soldiers, the construction of Yindu is completely a militarized city. The two main roads intersect into a cross in the center of the city, and can be connected by five war horses in parallel, without any obstacles in the middle. There is only one general's mansion in the city, which is located in the north of the city.

As we walked along, the city was empty and there was only the light breeze whizzing past, and some residue was quickly rolled up and left.

"Not our army, no Qing State's army, and no one inhabited even a livestock!" Ren Wufei looked around and murmured, "Did it be that as the scout said, some monster came here to swallow the whole city's people?" Seeing Xiao Suo, even he couldn't help but think of this.

Ling Duanshang shook his head slowly and said, "No! There are no traces of fighting here, there is no blood, and the house is not damaged..." Ling Duanshang swept away the somewhat silent Yindu, frowned, and said, "Go to the General's Mansion!"

The horse galloped, and in just a cup of tea, the two of them had arrived at the General's Mansion. A plaque was hung on it, clean and clean, as if it had been taken care of it. Ling Duanshang did not step into the mansion, but a little under his feet, and he jumped up and landed on the wall and looked inward.
