The next morning, Zhong Langyu explained the situation last night and his civil and military skills. Several generals were incredulous. The people in the Qiankun Cult were so powerful. How did they know that our commander-in-chief had switched contracts? What's even more terrifying is that they actually found Dashuai Zhong's hiding place accurately. If the people of Qiankun Cult do not have the ability to predict the future, then there must be a traitor, otherwise they cannot explain this strange thing.
Zhu Xun's face was gloomy: "Commander, the situation is already very critical. I suggest that the commander accept the Qiankun Cult's request and withdraw the team from Luo City."
Everyone in the audience was shocked when these words came out, and Shu Danwei's eyes widened: "Mr. Zhu, why did you say such a thing? Do we really want to give up Luo City?"
Zhu Xun shook his head: "It's not about giving in. I'm retreating in order to advance. Now that the enemy is in darkness and we are clear, we can only make this choice when the commander's safety cannot be guaranteed. Of course, we are not withdrawing our troops to Dayou." We are only stationing our troops on the edge of Luo City, but we want to see who will take over Luo City. When the time comes, we will wave our army, and Luo City will not be easily accessible!"
Zhong Langyu pondered for a moment: "What I am most afraid of is that the Qiankun Cult people are on the same side as Yuliguo. If that happens, it will not be so easy for them to build city defenses and we attack again."
Zhu Xun chuckled: "Don't worry, Commander. When the army withdraws, we can leave the soldiers disguised as ordinary people. When the time comes, we will cooperate internally and externally, and it will not be difficult to eliminate these evil cults."
Yu Hai also agreed with Zhu Xun's view: "Commander, I will see if Mr. Zhu's suggestion is feasible, otherwise your safety cannot be guaranteed. If the assassin no longer shows mercy, the consequences will be disastrous!"
Yu Hai's words moved Zhong Langyu: "Okay! All generals return to camp immediately and prepare to evacuate. You spread the word and say that our Dayou army is about to leave Luo City and join Kyoto."
Several generals had no choice but to hold their fists in despair: "I will obey your orders."
Zhong Langyu returned to his residence and immediately informed Xi Ruoxuan of his decision. Xi Ruoxuan was also shocked when he heard this, but he couldn't think of any way to protect Zhong Langyu, so he had to pack his bags.
Murong Xiaotian said goodbye to Zhong Langyu and left the Zhennan Palace. Even He Jingyan left in a pretentious manner. The loss in Xi Ruoxuan's heart cannot be described in ordinary words. She wanted to retain them, but she couldn't open her mouth and could only watch them leave. You all go! Let's go! Just pretend that I, Xi Ruoxuan, don’t know you.
The 300,000-strong army marched out. The movement was so great that the entire Luo City was almost deserted. Some people also left because of fear. For a time, there was a chaos inside and outside Luo City.
Xiruoxuan and Cuiyun sat in the carriage. As the army slowly evacuated, it took a whole day to finally get Luo City out. Situ Hainan, the leader of the Qiankun Sect, was overjoyed when he heard that Zhong Langyu had abandoned the city and immediately flew to report to King She Hemiao of Youli. When She Hemiao heard this, he was also overjoyed. He immediately ordered the Qiankun Sect to enter the city as soon as possible and take over the city's defense.
After receiving the imperial edict, Situ Hainan immediately ordered his followers to assemble immediately and then march to Luo City. Luo City was already a ghost town at this time. Except for a few ordinary people, it was almost in ruins. Of course, there are also items that cannot be removed in time and buildings that cannot be demolished. Situ Hainan sat in front of the commander-in-chief of the Zhennan Palace and laughed loudly at the guardian altar leaders: "Everyone, this time my leader was able to capture Luo City easily, all of you are indispensable. I will definitely report it to the emperor and give it to you." Please take credit!”
All the believers chanted: "The leader is wise, the emperor is wise."
The guards came to report, and the deputy leader He Jingyan arrived. When Situ Hainan heard this, his face suddenly shone brightly: "Quick, please!"
He Jingyan also had a cheerful expression on his face. He walked quickly to Situ Hainan and said, "I'm here to see the leader!"
Situ Hainan quickly put his hands together: "Oh! Your Majesty, the Third Highness, I don't dare to take it! If His Highness hadn't taken action this time, how could I have achieved great success!"
He Jingyan waved his hand: "Master, you're welcome. Your Highness is just doing my best on Weibo. Without the support of the master, how can I achieve great things by myself!"
Situ Hainan admired He Jingyan's character very much. He was not like the other two princes. The eldest prince was domineering and the second prince was sinister. Only the third prince was humble. What was even more rare was that he had many talents. I heard that he had passed away in his early years. Because of the advice of a foreign expert, Situ Hainan has always been optimistic about him and wanted to help him ascend the throne of the emperor. Helpless, Emperor She Hemiao was too partial to the eldest prince She Jingteng, almost to the point of doting on him. As long as She Jingteng wanted, the emperor would not refuse, and he spoiled the eldest prince to have a very bad temper. If anyone dared to contradict him, he would be beaten half to death, or even quartered to pieces. Therefore, the monarchs and ministers of Yuli Kingdom were very fond of this prince. Afraid, dare not provoke him easily.
The second prince, She Jingshan, is cunning. Although he has a kind face and always smiles when he sees you, if you mess with him. He will try every means to get back at you, so people are even more afraid of this second prince. The eldest prince is overbearing, superficial and direct; the second prince is secretive and a typical villain. This third prince is the only one who is upright, but he also has a fatal weakness. He was born by a palace maid, so it is almost impossible for him to inherit the throne.
However, Situ Hainan still had confidence in him. He knew that if the situation fell to the first two princes, the country would be destroyed sooner or later. Only the third prince could inherit the throne and the country would have hope.
Situ Hainan pointed to the side: "Your Highness, please take a seat. I hope your Highness can give you some advice on how to deal with this next."
He Jingyan, in fact, his real name is She Jingyan, but he changed his last name just to hide it from others. Because Yuliguo's national surname was She, if his own surname was also She, it would be very confusing to outsiders, so he simply changed his surname to others to better protect his identity.
"Don't take this advice seriously. My Highness has an idea. Zhong Langyu's departure this time is definitely not true. If I'm right, a war is imminent!"
Situ Hainan slapped his thigh: "Your Highness really spoke to my heart. I have the same thoughts as Your Highness. Zhong Langyu will definitely come to attack the city again, so on the one hand, we must prepare for war immediately, and on the other hand, we must quickly report to the Emperor to send troops."
Before Situ Hainan finished speaking, Tan Ma came to report that a large number of Dayou's soldiers had appeared outside the city. Situ Hainan and She Jingyan looked at each other and thought to themselves that Kuang Langyu was so fast!
Situ Hainan immediately ordered the drums to be beaten to gather the generals, and a war was about to begin. As expected, Zhong Langyu made a comeback. He adopted Zhu Xun's suggestion to retreat in order to advance, first giving up Luo City, and then engaging in a decisive battle with the Qiankun Sect.
Everything happened so suddenly, the soldiers outside the city began to attack the city. The followers of the Qiankun Sect kept smashing down the city tower with bows, arrows and stones. After all, they lacked experience in defending the city, and soon many city walls were in danger. Situ Hainan and She Jingyan were busy non-stop. An hour passed before Dayou's army retreated slightly.
Situ Hainan took advantage of the opportunity and kept sending Tanma to Yuli to ask for reinforcements. King She Hemiao of Yuli also knew that the matter was urgent. Without thinking, he immediately mobilized an army of 200,000 troops, led by General Zhou Yan, to quickly reinforce Luo City.
After taking a short rest outside Luo City, Qian Langyu continued to attack the city. Generals such as Shu Shanwei, Yu Hai and Zheng Fu led their soldiers to rush upward desperately. They hated these bastards from the Qiankun Sect so much. How dare you use despicable means of assassination to force us to withdraw, and now we have finally lured you out. If I don't give you a hard beating, I will be sorry for our commander, kill him!
The Qiankun Sect finally couldn't hold on anymore, and the reinforcements from the base camp were slow to arrive. It was really difficult for them to rely on these believers alone. Although these believers are good at martial arts, in terms of experience in defending the city, they are really not as good as these regular troops. The soldiers attacked the city in various ways. Sometimes they climbed up ladders; sometimes they drove ladders to shoot arrows at the top of the city. Some soldiers under the city tower kept banging against the city gate with big logs, and the believers of Qiankun Sect were very busy. At this moment, there was a sudden cry in the city, and the soldiers who were ambushing in the city suddenly took action. They killed the Qiankun cultists guarding the city gate and opened the city gate. Outside the city, Dayou soldiers swarmed in, and there was another melee. Seeing that the people of Qiankun Sect couldn't support it any longer. In desperation, She Jingyan put on his mask again. He planned to fight into Dayou's army alone, take Kuang Langyu hostage, and force Dayou to retreat.
However, he was wrong. Dayou's soldiers were so numerous that She Jingyan's hands were so weak that he could not advance even half a step, let alone get close to Kuang Langyu's handsome car.
Sitting in the handsome car, Kuang Langyu calmly directed the melee. He had to admire Zhu Xun's strategy. If you don't withdraw from Luo City first, Dayou's army will not be able to find these believers at all. Let's kill them! I don't believe that my 300,000 soldiers can't deal with a mere tens of thousands of believers!
The followers of Qiankun Sect finally began to retreat. They fought and retreated, and Dayou's army pressed forward step by step. Just as they were about to force the followers of the Qiankun Sect out of the city, suddenly, a soldier next to Quan Langyu rose into the air, and he controlled Quan Langyu in one fell swoop.
Kuang Langyu took a closer look and was so surprised that he could hardly close his mouth, congratulations to Jingyan! Is he really from the Qiankun Cult? Is he really the masked man
Wasn't She Jingyan unable to kill him just now? Yes! It can't be killed by killing. But he had a way. He ran into the rebel army and pulled off the clothes of a Dayou soldier's corpse, then took off his mask and pretended to be Dayou's soldier. There were more than 300,000 people in Dayou's army, and it was impossible to know everyone, so She Jingyan quickly infiltrated into Dayou's army. He consciously approached Kuang Langyu's handsome car, and finally he seized the opportunity and pressed his sword against Kuang Langyu's neck.
"Let your army retreat quickly, otherwise my sword will show no mercy!" She Jingyan grabbed Kuang Langyu with his left hand and held the sword horizontally with his right hand, looking very scary.
