After the fairy disappeared

There is a special operation in He Lingchuan tonight. Yuheng City has already announced a curfew and does not allow so many people to take to the streets at night.

From here we can also see the difference between Yuheng City and Panlong City.If a fire broke out in Panlong City on the night of the curfew, the residents would only stand at the door and take a look, then they would continue to stay behind closed doors after realizing that the fire could not reach their homes.

The operation to arrest the arsonists had also begun early.

The city defense army acted quickly. When the fire was extinguished, the guy who set the fire was also caught. He claimed to be a refugee from the east and crossed the border. Someone gave him three taels of silver to burn a big house, and also thoughtfully gave him a few oil bottles. These bottles It contains a fire talisman, which can ignite and explode as soon as it is opened.

After the thing is done, there are still three liang.

This guy was so blinded by money that he ignored the curfew and went ahead without knowing that it was the residence of the city guard.

Wen Daolun also came to express condolences to Zhao Linyang. The two of them were old acquaintances in Panlong City and had a good relationship.

"I'm afraid there won't be anything big going on tonight." Wen Daolun frowned, "In recent days, the divination of thunder has been common, which shows that a sudden change is imminent."

Zhao Linyang gave a thumbs up: "Old Wen, your fortune-telling skills are still very good."

At this moment, the soldiers rushed in from outside and whispered something into his ear.

Zhao Linyang's face darkened, and he immediately said to Wen Daolun: "Your hexagram has come true, and now something is going to happen."

He didn't have time to explain to the guests, so he strode out and gave instructions one after another.

……

The woodland south of Yuheng City.

Hong Ming, Fu Shanlie's adjutant, led hundreds of people to lurk in the darkness and could not move without lighting torches.

These are all the elites of Jin Yingguo and Fushan Lie.

The two thousand water bandits were arranged in the Long River to attract the Yuheng army's attack.In the end, the ones Fushan Lie dared to send here to perform tasks were still the most loyal men he brought from Bejia.

He only brought out a dozen of the elite members of the Xilian puppet army. After this battle, they would return to Bejia with him.

They had been lying here for most of the night, and many Jinyong people were yawning wildly.

Should I fight or not?It will be dawn in another hour.

At this moment, an owl flew in, carrying the latest message from Fushan Lie:
"He Lingchuan personally suppresses Longchuan, your action begins!"

"Work has started, work has started!" Hong Ming cheered up and called two Jin Ying messengers, "Tell your people and listen to our command arrow as a signal!"

Fu Shanlie's order spread quietly outside under the cover of night.

A quarter of an hour later, everything was ready.

Hong Ming took out a Thousand Thousand Knots from his arms.

There is an internal agent in Yuheng City who they had arranged earlier. As long as he breaks this grass knot, it will send a signal to the city to take action.

At that moment, the second large-scale battle of the night will begin!

But before he could break it, the spy in front suddenly rushed over to deliver the message:

"There are people from outside Yuheng City!"

Someone came suddenly in the middle of the night?Hong Ming was startled and rushed to the top of the mountain to check. Sure enough, he saw a group of cavalry slowly walking towards the south gate of Yuheng City.

The area below the city gate was very empty, and he could tell at a glance that the team numbered about six or seventy people.

The knights on horseback all wear dark red light armor and hold spears in their hands, looking majestic.The aura was different from that of the Yuheng City Army. Although they only numbered half a hundred, their arrogance was so arrogant that it seemed to be able to overwhelm hundreds and thousands of fine cavalry.

The leading general was also dressed in red armor, almost completely covered from head to toe, wearing a mask with a ghost face, and a monster squatting on each shoulder of the armor.

The armor was gilded and colorful under the light of the torch, making it even more mysterious and majestic.

Behind him was a large flag raised high, with only one word on it:

wind!
Without waiting for anyone else to react, several elite members of the Xilian puppet army blurted out:

"Red General!"

"This is the Red General from Panlong City, the butcher who captured our capital!"

After the destruction of the Xiliang Kingdom, the Xiliang puppet army still resisted for several months. They were repeatedly beaten by the Gale Army. When they saw this red-armored and masked figure, they were shocked. The unbearable past events came to mind, and they ran away with murderous intent. Half of it flew.

So impressed.At this moment, they didn't want to go any further.

When Hong Ming heard the name, he was dubious and looked at the leader carefully.

Dark red battle armor, scarlet cloak, ghost face mask, and a kestrel on his shoulder.

Although he had never seen the Red General on the battlefield, this iconic outfit had legends even in distant Bega.

It has always been paired with a thunderous name.

Is this really the Red General?

Why did the Red General appear tonight?

Someone from that team came to the city to shout.

Soon, Yuheng City lowered the suspension bridge and allowed the team to enter.

"Do you want to take action?" his subordinate asked Hong Ming.

The suspension bridge has been lowered. What a great opportunity!
Hong Ming was in a state of confusion.

attack?
Not to attack?

If you don't attack, you might miss a good opportunity. General Fushan has already ordered an attack on the city.

However, if the uninvited guest under the city gate is really the Red General... then he is a demigod!
Once the plan is launched, what should I do if it is blocked by such an evil spirit and fails to achieve results?

Bystanders saw the people in front of the city gate filing into the city, and they couldn't help but urge:

"Master Hong?"

Hong Ming clenched his fists and had several opinions fighting back and forth in his mind. In the end, conservativeness prevailed.

"Don't be busy for a moment or two, send an owl in to find out if it is the real Red General!"

...The suspension bridge slowly retracted, and General Red entered Yuheng City.

The open space inside the south gate of the city was full of people, but no torches were lit, and the soldiers were waiting in the dark.

Outside the city, dozens of people including the Red General crossed the suspension bridge in no hurry;
In the city, everyone is fully armed.

If the ambushes outside ignore the threats and take the opportunity to attack, the battle in Yuheng City will begin immediately.

But until the drawbridge was raised, there was still silence outside the city.

Everyone in the know breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhao Linyang strode forward to greet him, followed by Wen Daolun. Both of them bowed to General Xiang Hong:

"General!"

In fact, Wen Daolun was quite confused and couldn't figure out why General Red suddenly appeared in Yuheng City.

At this time, shouldn't she be on the northwest front line against Xianyou?The journey from there to Yuheng City is a bit long.

"No." The red general's deep voice came from under the mask, "You two, please come forward."

Zhao Linyang stepped forward as instructed, but Wen Daolun couldn't help being surprised.

This voice... this is not the voice of the Red General!

But Zhao Linyang secretly pulled him.

Wen Daolun was stunned and quickly stepped forward.

The three of them gathered together, surrounded by soldiers from the Gale Army.

They heard the "Red General" in front of them say in a tight voice: "There is an ambush outside the city. Lieutenant of Fushan is planning to divert the tiger away from the mountain and prepare to sneak attack on us!"

"Commander He determined that the fire just now was caused by spies in the city. When the war breaks out, they will definitely cooperate inside and outside."

Wen Daolun remembered that this was the voice of the female warrior beside He Lingchuan, Liu Tiao!

Zhao Linyang did not show any surprise on his face, but kept nodding: "Yes... yes... I understand."

Wen Daolun understood it at a glance, and Zhao Linyang also received the news and was cooperating in the acting.

Immediately afterwards, Zhao Linyang called several generals over and explained in a low voice.The latter nodded and went to handle it himself.

After a while, the number of guards at the south gate of the city increased visibly.

General Red and Zhao Linyang, surrounded by the guards, climbed onto the high wall of the south city gate.

This move is to let the enemy troops inside and outside the city see her more clearly——

If there really is an ambush in the Shenchen Mountains outside the city gate.

It was quieter and more open at the city gate. Wen Daolun asked the "Red General" in a low voice: "Where is Commander He?"

"He has other plans."

"What if the enemy is afraid of the 'Red General' and retreats?"

"Commander He said that is the best. To defeat the enemy without fighting." Liu Tiao smiled and said, "We will definitely capture Takikawa tonight. Even if Fushan Retsu goes back, he will have no stronghold and can only leave here."

He Lingchuan asked her to pretend to be the Red General to have a shock effect.

If Fu Shanlie can be scared away - although the chance is very small - the military disaster in Yuheng City tonight will be invisible;

If not, you can also delay the enemy's attack to buy He Lingchuan more time to get on his way.

Zhao Linyang nodded: "That's the best."

It’s not that he strengthens the enemy’s ambition and destroys his own prestige, but Panlong City has not killed General Bejia so far. Is Commander He going to kill this beast first?
Wen Daolun was not so optimistic: "It is not Fushan Lie's character to retreat without firing an arrow."

He has been a city guard here for more than half a year. Even if he is not in charge of the army, he has some understanding of Fu Shanlie's methods.

Willow pointed forward: "If there is an ambush ahead, Yuheng City will be the home of tonight's battle."

Zhao Linyang whispered: "You guard the south gate, and I will go down to arrange the east gate and north gate."

Wen Daolun also came to help: "I'll go down with you."

……

Hong Ming and others hid in the dark jungle and observed the figures on the south city gate.

Suddenly, a black shadow appeared silently in the forest behind, approaching quickly.

"Who!" Everyone immediately became more vigilant.

However, Hong Ming immediately stepped forward and whispered:

"General!"

The person who came was none other than Fushan Lie.

Although Yuheng City sent secret troops to guard the waterway in and out of the northern part of Takigawa, they could not stop Fushan Retsu, who was proficient in water escape.

He sneaked out of the encirclement of Yu Heng's army, then used his escape technique to go up the river, then took a horse and ran all the way here.

"What's going on!" He asked right away as soon as he stopped, "Didn't I give the order to start the war?"

After he confirmed the identity of He Lingchuan in Longchuan, he immediately ordered the owl to fly to deliver the order.He thought that the fighting here was already in full swing, but he didn't know that when he rushed to the city after all the hard work, he saw silence!
There was no fight at all!
What happened, and why did his arranged plan go haywire?

Hong Ming knew that he would definitely get angry, so he quickly pointed to the top of Yuheng City: "General, General Red is here."

"Who?" Fu Shanlie was startled, thinking he heard wrongly, and raised his voice several times.

"The Red General of Panlong City." Another subordinate came over and said, "We just saw with our own eyes that she arrived at the south gate with dozens of people."

Fushan Lie looked intently and saw several people wearing dark red armor on the gate tower of Yuheng City. One of them was wearing a ghost face mask and a hunting cloak.

The others crowded around her.

"That's the Red General? How are you sure that's the Red General?"
