Chapter 254 Bing Linhouting County
Standing alone on the slightly dilapidated city gate tower, the barbarian king Yi heard the loud cheers of the holy people.
The capture of this huge city that has prevented the saints from going south for thousands of years has made all the saints almost crazy.
Countless people shouted his name, and his name resounded throughout Beifeng City.
But there was no joy on the face of the barbarian Yi Wang, and he stared blankly at the endless Great Yan army camp in the distance.
The violent snowstorm didn't hinder his sight at all, and he could even see the patterns of the stone bricks on the simple camps.
"Crack—"
"Crack—"
The footsteps of stepping on the snow came suddenly, and a low and hoarse voice sounded beside the barbarian king Yi, with a smile:
"King, don't you want to celebrate? Now many people of our holy clan have already ranked you with the ancestor gods."
The barbarian king turned his eyes back:
"Zayer, the ancestor gods don't exist. The so-called ancestor gods are just a sustenance fabricated by our saints in the impenetrable snowfield."
"." Zayer's ferocious face with a smile froze for a moment.
The barbarian king Yi withdrew his gaze and continued to look at the Dayan camp outside the city, his voice was emotionless:
"You came to see me, what's the matter?"
As a person who grew up with the barbarian Yi Wang, Zaye saw that the other party was very worried, so he restrained his smile, and the solemn report:
"The various tribes of the Holy Clan have taken over the Beifeng City, and the gains and losses have been counted by the high priest. Please take a look."
The barbarian king Yi took it without looking at it, and directly ordered:
"If you have nothing else to do, Zaye, go down first, and leave me alone for a while."
Seeing this, Zaye quickly said in a deep voice:
"King, there is one more thing."
"explain."
"Da Yan sent an envoy to see you."
“.”
The barbarian Yi Wang was silent for a moment, and finally there was a touch of relief in his blue eyes:
"Bring him here."
The cold wind is like a knife, and it hurts when it stabs people's faces.
Wrapped in a thick fur coat, Xu Yuan looked at the wind and snow outside the cave, and the military briefing in his hand suddenly ignited with blood and turned into a handful of ashes.
Lou Ji gave him the latest briefing,
The city was closed to the north and fell completely. Wu Yuan took a few remnants and went north to Houting County.
Looking out from the cave, the waterfall-like blizzard buried everything in the wild under the boundless white.
The cave where Xu Yuan and Lou Ji are now is the contact point established by the Blackscale Guard in the snow field, and it can also be said to be a safe house.
It is equipped with a spiritual avoidance array to prevent the detection of mind and soul, and a communication crystal for long-distance communication.
The northern border has been raging with war for many years, and the success or failure of a war depends largely on the amount of information obtained by both sides.
The establishment of this kind of contact point can enable scouts or high-level practitioners to report the detected enemy situation to the rear camp at the first time.
Of course, this kind of thing is not unique to the Black Scale Guard. Many forces have built such caves or basements in the snow fields in the north.
It's a pity that these contact points were basically destroyed when the barbarians went south last time.
It’s not that the barbarians have good hands and eyes and can accurately find out the location of these contact points in the vast snowfield, but it’s simply because all parties in the Great Yan are playing tricks on each other to give the barbarians accurate reports.
According to Lou Ji, their Black Scale Guard used to have nearly ten contact points in various places in the snow field, but now there are only two left.
One is in the mountains next to the Beifeng Plain, and the other is where Xu Yuan and the others are now, in the mountains a hundred miles away from the northeast of Houting County.
"Long Sky."
With a soft call, Xu Yuan looked back after hearing the words.
A plump figure walked out slowly from the shadow of the cave with a slender waist and plump buttocks, and said with a soft smile:
"That little girl Wu Yuan doesn't seem to touch what you left behind."
Xu Yuan regained consciousness upon hearing the words, looked at Lou Ji and smiled slightly:
"Although there is a lot of information missing, Li Qingyan is a smart woman, she should be able to see something."
Lou Ji bent her eyes and smiled when he heard his praise for her:
"It seems that these days, Chang Tianyou gets along with her fairly happily?"
Xu Yuan subconsciously recalled the seductive tricks of that bad woman, smiled lightly and shook his head:
"It's not bad, a very powerful woman."
paused,
Xu Yuan glanced into the darkness behind Lou Ji and asked:
"Sister, has the sect reached an agreement with the barbarians?"
“.”
After pondering for a moment, Lou Ji embraced her chest with both hands, raised a slender index finger and tapped her fair chin, a pair of green pupils glowed like a snake letter:
"Well, an agreement should have been reached, but the two sides do not have a basis for mutual trust, and they are still deadlocked up to now."
"The basis of mutual trust?"
Xu Yuan murmured, thinking about the cause and effect in his heart, and was a little speechless.
Even if the Zongmen wanted to let the barbarians go north by way, the barbarian king did not dare to trust the Zongmen.
The barbarian Yi Wang didn't know that the sect didn't have Yunqi bombs.
In case when they detour, the Zongmen suddenly throws a "Cloud Qi Bomb" without paying attention to martial arts, then all the snow clouds will be dispersed, and the barbarian side will have to fight a decisive battle with the Zongmen in the wild.
And fight the field battle with the Yan elite.
ponder a little,
Xu Yuan exhaled a breath of white mist, looked at Lou Ji and asked:
"Sister, how long would it take you to drive from Beifeng to Dali Mountain?"
Lou Ji didn’t even think about it, so she went directly to:
"If you don't cover up your breath, you can go all out for half a day, but if you want to cover up your breath, it will take at least two days, or even longer."
"Two days?"
Xu Yuan lowered his eyes and murmured, then smiled and said, "It has been almost five days since the barbarian soldiers came to the city. That barbarian Yi Wang should be very clear that he has not enough time left, and must make a choice as soon as possible."
Lou Ji looked at Xu Yuan with a smile in her eyes when she heard the words, and then said:
"Oh? What choice?"
Xu Yuan exhaled a mouthful of white mist with a smile, looking at the snow outside:
"Should I choose to put all my eggs in one basket and defend Beifeng City to the death, or choose to trust the sect completely and go to Houting County to trap Marquis Wucheng and Mr. Zong to death in the northern border."
Speaking of which,
Xu Yuan's eyes showed a hint of amusement, but he didn't continue talking.
As a senior intelligence worker, Lou Ji was naturally able to keenly observe the changes in Xu Yuan's expression, and she was slightly dissatisfied and grabbed the soft flesh on his waist:
"Chang Tian, finish talking if you have something to say, and I want to keep something with my sister?"
Xu Yuan gasped in pain in his waist, and quickly took a step back:
"Stop, stop, stop, I said, I said, it's just a possibility."
"Heh" Lou Ji chuckled and let go of her hand.
Xu Yuan rubbed his waist and said with a helpless smile:
"The barbarian king is a lunatic, and the behavior of a lunatic cannot be speculated by common sense."
“.”
Lou Ji's eyes flickered slightly, and she understood instantly, and said softly:
"Chang Tian, what do you mean to say that the barbarian Yi Wang is very likely to choose neither path?"
Xu Yuan nodded and asked:
"Sister, what do you think of the protection ability of the camp built by the elite of the Zongmen in the north of Beifeng City?"
Lou Ji recalled a little after hearing the words, bent her eyes and said with a smile:
"It's all silver-like pewter gun tips."
Pause for a moment, Lou Ji changed the topic:
"But Chang Tian, although these sects are disgusting, they still have many capable people in their army. The barbarian king should not choose to take risks."
Xu Yuan shook his head, grinned, and asked:
"It would be a surprise if they dog-eat-dog. If not, why don't we come as planned? Yuan Hao has already gone to the north of Houting County to wait. Knowing that he can kill people, that psychopath is very excited."
While talking, Xu Yuan rubbed his arms, shivered, turned and walked towards the inside of the cave:
"It's really cold here"
Lou Ji looked at his back, and followed him slowly with lotus steps:
"Changtian, that old guy Zong Qingsheng said that Wu Chenghou's Beifeng Army didn't come down with him."
Xu Yuan paused and turned his eyes:
"Mr. Zong didn't persuade him?"
It is indeed a technical job to persuade Wu Chenghou to go south without exposing Tianxun Yuanjing.
But for people at the level of Zong Qingsheng and Wu Chenghou, all behaviors can basically be understood as "war sense".
After all, Zong Qingsheng relied on this "sense of war" to ambush him in advance and helped Li Qingyan break the siege of Dali Mountain.
Thinking, Xu Yuan hesitated and said:
"If we only rely on our 150,000 black scale army, it should be difficult to maintain the defense line in Houting County."
Lou Ji raised her hand and squeezed Xu Yuan's serious face when she heard the words, and said with a smile:
"Don't worry, sister, I only said that Marquis Wu Cheng didn't go south, and I didn't say that his Beifeng army didn't go south. The Beifeng army was stationed in the four towns of Xueyuan. He sent two of them to go south with Zong Qingsheng and arrived in Houting County. The area will be handed over to Wu Yuan's command."
Xu Yuan's mind was slightly relieved, but there was a trace of doubt in his eyes.
It seems that Mr. Zong succeeded in persuading that Wu Chenghou, but if this is the case, why did Wu Chenghou still keep two towns of soldiers and horses in the northern snowfield.
The southern side is going to concentrate its forces for a grand strategic decisive battle. The reason why the lion fights the rabbit is also to use all its strength. Wu Chenghou should understand better than him.
Lou Ji said softly:
"Chang Tian, don't think too much, Wu Chenghou must have his reasons for doing this, we just need to do our own thing well."
Be quiet for a moment
Xu Yuan exhaled, walked to the table inside the cave, sat down, and asked:
"Then how long will it take for our people to reach the north of Houting County?"
"It has arrived."
"What?"
"Well, the black-scale cavalry and the Beifeng cavalry are a little faster than the heavy infantry~"
