Chapter 19 Attack!
"Ahhhh!!!"
As Zheng Tong screamed and fell from the sky, everyone inside and outside the city lord's palace was alarmed.
The prefect Wang Jie and his aide Liu Yisheng rushed out of the main hall and were shocked to see Zheng Tong covered in wounds and rolling on the spot in miserable condition!
"What happened? What happened? The deserters attacked?"
Wang Hui said, and then listened to the curses in Zheng Tong's mouth, he quickly understood, and his face was filled with anger.
"How arrogant! He is just a child, relying on the favor of his father and the favor of the officials to come here. Does he really think that he is a capable general? How can he be so unscrupulous! He has never fought a war,
First, learn how to be domineering!" As he spoke, Wang Jie's momentum weakened a bit, "It's just that he can send people flying from the city gate to here. This kind of martial arts cultivation is really unbelievable..."
"No matter how high your martial arts skills are, as long as you are a member of the imperial court, you must follow the rules." Liu Yisheng was furious when he saw his mastermind, and he took advantage of the situation and said: "This is a God-given opportunity. Daning's young general is so domineering. I think he is used to being arrogant in the capital and does not know the borders.
The dangers of the march and such a dandy's behavior are not suitable for making a fuss about. We can also take advantage of the situation to identify the remnants of the Western Army..."
"No!"
Before Wang Ji could say anything, Liu Yisheng's words were interrupted by an energetic voice.
Their hearts skipped a beat, and they followed the sound and saw a middle-aged man wearing dark clothes, with slightly white temples, a long five-willow beard, and a handsome appearance.
This person is none other than Bai Mubai, a great priest of Jincheng, who was born in the Tianzhu Sect of the Western Regions.
He came to Zheng Tong's side, checked the injury, and said solemnly: "It seems that the injury is serious, but it is actually just a flesh injury, mostly abrasions after landing."
Wang Jie's heart skipped a beat and he asked, "What do you mean by offering sacrifices?"
"You are confused. Someone who can send people here from the city gate is Yi Yu." Bai Mubai glanced at the two of them and pointedly, "This person uses his strength skillfully and can fly across the air."
To give someone away without serious injury, just this technique and strength, at least a martial arts master who has mastered Tongjin!"
"Tongjin!? The seventh level of martial arts!?" Wang Jie glanced at Bai Mubai.
"The level of martial arts is comparable to mine, but when it comes to Taoism, he is no match for me." Bai Mubai stroked his beard calmly, "However, even if he can't defeat me, he is still a master. Even if he is a playboy, he is still a playboy at the seventh level of martial arts."
, the destructive power is not ordinary! If I were you, I would not be offended easily, otherwise I would not even be able to sleep peacefully."
Wang Jie hesitated to speak, but still did not ask Bai Mubai to deal with the young general.
Consecration is different from that of subordinates, and cannot be forced.
the other side.
Zheng Tong was kicked away by Chen Yuan, but in the end the city lord's palace had no intention of holding him accountable, but it also had no intention of inviting him into the city. Instead, it arranged for someone to come over and lead Chen Yuan and his party to the barracks outside the city.
On the way, Chen Yuan asked Zhang Que about worship in the army.
Zhang Que nodded and said: "Our Northwest Army also enshrined three of them. Due to various reasons, the relationship faded and we no longer have frequent contact with them."
Chen Yuan asked again: "Are there any offerings in Jinzhou City?"
"Of course there are more than one," Zhang Que thought and said, "The most powerful among them is called Zhenren Bai. Not only does he come from a famous family, he also has profound Taoist skills and is tabooed by the barren people."
What kind of cultivation dares to be called a real person? Could it be that it is very powerful?
Thinking about it, Chen Yuan asked again: "Why would someone from a famous family join the army?"
Zhang Que said: "The frontier is not as rich as the Middle Earth. I heard that the sects in the Middle Earth often have thousands of hectares of farmland and countless tenants, and can support thousands of disciples! But in a bitter and cold land like the northwest, the sect is standing on the mountain, and there are all the people at the foot of the mountain.
Wasteland, homeless people everywhere, unable to retain farmers, limited resources, even powerful disciples cannot afford to support them, so many people come to the army and rely on the military's support to practice. Of course, there are also those who value the military's inheritance.
"
Chen Yuan secretly thought that since there are offerings in the city, when he has established his authority in the army, the soldiers have returned, and shaken the vitality of the city, he has to seize the opportunity. After all, leaking is a small matter, the key is not to be intercepted.
As they walked and talked, the group of people arrived at the joint camp, but at this moment, there were idle soldiers inside and outside the camp, either listless or laughing and having fun, and there was no atmosphere of being ready for success.
So, Chen Yuan raised his head and looked at the horizon again. It was the time when day and night were changing, the dark clouds were a little thicker, and the chilling atmosphere became clearer.
"There must be soldiers and horses approaching. The disaster is not far away. I don't know when it will happen, but we should find an opportunity to warn them in these two days."
Just as he was thinking about this, a group of soldiers suddenly ran over quickly and formed a row in front of Chen Yuan and others, blocking the way to the camp.
"General Zhenwu, right?"
A thick voice came from behind the soldiers, and then a broad-shouldered general walked out. He was very tall, with eyes like bells, thick lips, a beard all over his face, and a large scar on his left cheek.
This person came to Chen Yuan with a startled step and looked down at him.
Zhang Que whispered: "This is Jincheng's general Chen Tang. He has fought many tough battles and won more than he lost. He is at the sixth level of martial arts!"
"General Chen, what do you have to say?" Chen Yuan looked directly at the other party, his face... His face was very stiff and he could not make any other expression.
Seeing that the young man had no fear on his face, Chen Tang narrowed his eyes and grinned: "A bit brave! Then a certain family will be relieved." He turned his head and said to his soldiers: "Take the young general to the remnant army and let them
He takes care of those defeated troops so as not to cause any more trouble to a certain family!"
Chen Yuan's eyes flashed: "What do you mean by this?"
"What do you mean? The remnants of the Dingxi army still can't understand the situation. They are like barrels of fire. They fight with others at the slightest insult, which makes the army restless. Most of their generals are dead. Many batches of people have been criticized.
There is no remnant soldier who can take care of things."
Chen Tang glanced at Chen Yuan: "You should be the last group and have gone the farthest. I heard that they are here to pick you up? Then you, the commander, should take some time to restrain the remaining soldiers and obey the command of a certain family. Don't cause any more chaos.
Otherwise, hey, once a certain company takes action personally, it will not be so easy to talk about."
Zhang Que and others were furious when they heard this.
Chen Yuan stared at Chen Tang for a while, then nodded suddenly and said: "That's fine, I'm going to see the soldiers of the Dingxi Army. I just ask the general to mobilize his manpower and conduct more inspections, so that the old things in Dingxi don't fall on you.
.”
As soon as they left, Chen Tang curled his lips and said coldly: "I know how to bow my head, but I don't want to give in. When I left, I sarcastically said, I'm still too young to be calm! I can't become a general! He's just a baby general.
I won’t be looked down upon by the powerful generals of Dingxi. When I am disgraced and my majesty is wiped out, I can easily manipulate him and take him over to be a puppet to give an explanation to the small court of Daning.”
"General, how can you bear this anger? When you faced Zheng Tong just now..." Zhang Que walked behind Chen Yuan, looking puzzled.
"You think I'm bullying the weak and afraid of the strong?" Chen Yuan glanced at him, "Why don't you talk about yourself? One moment you are filled with righteous indignation, and the other you bear the humiliation?"
Zhang Que looked ashamed.
Before he could ask again, Chen Yuan said, "Don't worry, just wait. When disaster strikes, someone has to be there first." As he said that, he looked forward.
This is an open space on the side of the barracks. There are tall and short dilapidated tents. There are about two to three hundred people during the period when the soldiers were dispersed.
"Disaster is coming? What do you mean?"
Zhang Que was about to ask another question, but was interrupted by a shout.
"Zhangque!"
The person who called him was a strong man with a body like an iron tower and a face as black as coal. He strode towards him while shouting.
When he arrived, the man looked at Chen Yuan, then shook his head in disappointment and saluted coldly: "Dingxi Dutou, Luo Wu, I have met the young general."
Zhang Que was unhappy, pulled Luo Wu aside, and whispered: "Why are you so rude to the general?"
Luo Wudao: "What time is it? Everyone is humiliating us! Our Dingxi Army is in pieces, and we need people with prestige to step forward and gather the manpower, but what you brought is a half-grown child, what kind of battle can you fight? You want to
Do we place our hopes on these people?"
Coming again?
Chen Yuan raised his eyebrows and touched his face, feeling confused.
"When I was in the Dongxu Realm, I lived in seclusion for the first half of my life. How did I end up with this mysterious body of a corpse, and then came to this Jincheng and turned into a mocking face?" He immediately guessed that he was afraid that Jincheng was deliberately indulging.
What kind of rumors are there to suppress yourself and damage your prestige?
Zhang Que was angry at Luo Wu's words. He turned around and saw Chen Yuan sitting in a tent as if nothing was wrong. He said anxiously: "General, how can you let them talk nonsense? This is not good for you in the army.
of fame.”
"Are you tired of arguing with others? Even if I say that I have great abilities, some people must believe me. Don't worry, I don't like to be entangled and plotted by others. A thousand words and ten thousand words are not as good as an actual battle.
, isn’t this delivered to your door?” Chen Yuan shook his head and pointed into the distance, “Look.”
"What?"
Zhang Que and Luo Wu took advantage of the situation to look, and then their expressions changed drastically!
Then I saw dust flying in the sky, and the sound of killing was heard in the distance!
Chen Yuan said quietly: "The desolate people are deliberately plotting against the Dingxi Army. They can't just watch you being absorbed by this golden city, so they deliberately let it go. When you are almost gathered, the last batch of people return to the team, feeling relaxed and sighing.
The time is just right to take action! But even I didn’t expect it to be so fast and urgent!”
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"
There were shouts everywhere in the barracks, and the scattered soldiers hurriedly looked for their armor.
"Where are the scouts? Why didn't you come to report?" Chen Tangqiang calmed down, "Why are you panicking! It's all part of a certain family's plan. Hurry up and gather your troops and enter the city. Let's defend the city..."
Boom!
Before he finished speaking, there was an explosion and the whole camp shook.
"Ho ho ho—"
There were howls and screams coming from outside!
"What's wrong?"
Chen Tang felt bad and stood up with excitement.
A soldier stumbled in and said with trembling lips: "General Qi, die...die...live..."
"What the hell!" Chen Tang grabbed the other party's collar and said, "Speak clearly!"
"Living dead! Suddenly many living dead appeared in the barracks. They can't be beaten to death! They bite everyone they see! You can't stop them!"
"Special code!" Chen Tang was stunned, and then he remembered the fate of the Dingxi Army, "The Dingxi Army can't withstand it, let alone a certain family? Isn't this the end?"
He suddenly remembered what Chen Yuan said not long ago.
"Did that kid really hit the mark? This is too weird!"
