Chapter 280: Qiu Chang's Array
Thinking that he would face the frontal attack from the Eastern Prince's Mansion soon, Shen Tuyan was a little frowning. He could not have thought that things would develop to this point.
At first, he was involved in the enclave trend and just wanted to improve his position and strive for more benefits. This was the case when he surrendered to Liu Tianyi at the beginning, and later advocated hostility to the Eastern Palace.
But now, thinking about the benefits that the man promised him, Shen Tuyan always feels a little loss.
He did not expect Liu Tianyi to surrender suddenly, nor did he expect that the 100,000 elite soldiers in the enclave would be so vulnerable, nor did he expect that Tian Yuanbai, who was the second person in the enclave, would suddenly withdraw his troops and directly withdraw from the Wufeng City area. This made all his previous plans fail.
Now, the war in the entire enclave has burned to the Qiuchang City area, and Shen Tuyan may have to bear the anger of the entire Eastern Prince's Mansion.
After returning to the garrison to collect information, he realized that after the Eastern Prince's Mansion entered the enclave, the only one who actually started a war with the Eastern Prince's Mansion was Shen Tuyan. He killed the soldiers of the Eastern Prince's Mansion and besieged the generals of the Eastern Prince's Mansion, intending to wipe out them all. Now that Shen Tuyan thinks about these things, he feels a headache.
The original plan of the enclave was to introduce the senior management of the East Prince's Mansion to Wufeng City to lure and kill. Some of the troops of the East Prince's Mansion were introduced into the enclave, drag the army to death with the depth of the enclave, and then concentrate superior forces to regain control of the Black Stone Bridge. As a result, the East Prince's Mansion could only suffer a loss. As long as the Black Stone Bridge is controlled, it is impossible for the East Prince's Mansion to attack the Black Stone Wall head-on.
Originally, this plan seemed perfect, and the Dongwang Mansion was not prepared at all. But unexpectedly, Liu Tianyi lived in Wufeng City and was the leader of Wufeng City. He was actually occupied by only two thousand soldiers of the Dongwang Mansion, and he had not spent a single soldier. Tian Yuanbai, who was responsible for the defense in front of Wufeng City, suddenly retreated and went back to guard his Leyang City. What's even more annoying is that Liu Tianyi's younger brother Liu Tianyang, holding 40,000 elite soldiers, surrendered without fighting, and led all the soldiers to surrender to the Dongwang Mansion.
All plans have failed, and only I am stupid enough to deal with the Eastern Prince's Mansion, and even forcefully conscript the people to eliminate the enemy's strength while meeting the conditions of that person.
Shen Tuyan had a good plan. If Changxiangcheng could not siege the Dongwangfu army to death, then he just needed to pursue and chase the Dongwangfu army into the Wufengcheng area. He would inevitably fight against Tian Yuanbai's army. If the Dongwangfu army and Tian Yuanbai's army fought, with the combat effectiveness of the Dongwangfu cavalry, it might cause a large number of casualties to Tian Yuanbai's troops. If this is the case, it would be very beneficial to him.
Not only can he complete the conditions of that person, he will also invisibly have an ally in the enclave. Once Tian Yuanbai fights with the Eastern Palace, he will definitely not give up according to his principles of dealing with things. At that time, he will say a few more words on the side and provoke a full-scale war between the Eastern Palace and the enclave. At that time, no one will investigate the matter of forcing the people to conquer the people.
By completing the conditions of that person, you can get the rewards you want to be rewarded and go to war with the Eastern Palace head-on. The entire enclave will rely more places on you and your status will be greatly improved. And the threat brought by that person will be self-defeating.
But man's plan is not as good as the heaven's plan. Shen Tuyan never expected that the battle between the enclave and the East Prince's Mansion would collapse at one touch. Liu Tianyi surrendered in Wufeng City. Tian Yuanbai withdrew to Leyang City. Liu Tianyang surrendered without fighting. Wufeng City issued a surrender order, and the enclave returned to a state of loose sand again.
But I couldn't go to Wufeng City. The reinforcements from the Dongwang Mansion entered the enclave and could no longer fight head-on. I could only retreat back to Qiuchang City in shame and wait for the Dongwang Mansion to attack.
Shen Tuyan knew clearly that there had been a deep hatred between him and the Eastern Prince's Mansion, and this hatred could only be washed away with blood.
At this moment, Shen Tuyan sat in the front hall of the city lord's mansion, looked at the afterglow of the setting sun outside, sighed softly, and closed his eyes.
He knew that his value for that person has been demoted to the lowest level. At this moment, he could only defend Qiuchang City to the death, and to defeat the Eastern Prince's Mansion with a slight possibility, so there was room for maneuver.
The backyard of Qiuchangcheng, a hidden courtyard.
A barrier with a slight ray of light wrapped the entire courtyard, and from time to time, azure blue halos radiated.
There was no one around the courtyard, and there was silence.
In the courtyard, except for the surrounding courtyard walls, all the buildings inside have been demolished. On the ground, six huge circles are deeply portrayed on the ground, flashing blue fluorescence from time to time.
The surrounding natural forces slowly gather towards the formation. Every half moment, all the formation circles of the formation will light up at the same time, and a blue halo suddenly appears, and then quickly returns to calm.
Due to the formation's penetration, the natural power around the courtyard is much richer than that in other places. Standing outside the courtyard, ordinary people can feel refreshed.
Shen Tu Yan retreated from his left and right deputy generals, and slowly walked out of this remote courtyard, feeling the strong natural force radiating from the courtyard in front of him, looking at the barrier that flashed from time to time, he sighed softly.
As things have developed to this point, who can I blame?
If you blame me, you can only blame yourself. Two months ago, you easily accepted the temptation of that person and asked him to set up a formation in the mansion.
When he opened his eyes again, a ruthless light suddenly burst out from Shen Tuyan's eyes. He stopped sighing and turned around and left the courtyard and returned to his study.
Because of his greed and desire, he wanted to go further, so he slowly fell into the trap of desire and could not extricate himself. But now, he wanted to retreat, but it was impossible.
He had tied himself to the chariot with his own hands, but until now, he didn't know who this chariot belonged to.
But no matter what, Shen Tuyan had no way out. He retreated only to a deep abyss and had no place to bury him.
...
One day later, Ye Guan, with Huang Yongning's military talisman, led Xu Bao, the centurion of Dongxuan City, to lead 20,000 soldiers in the garrison outside the Wufengcheng Basin, and was moving towards Qiuchang City.
Riding on the war horse, Ye Guan was wearing a long blue gown, and his fairy-like appearance did not look like he was going to fight, but he thought he was going to visit his old friend. However, the black armored dragon following behind him emitted a terrifying and strong evil aura, which was in a strong contrast with Ye Guan's aura.
Xu Bao looked at Ye Guan from time to time. He was a little confused. Such a fairy-like and traitorous Ye Guan, who looked like a kind elder, was an absolute authoritative figure in the Eastern Palace. A decision may bring about life and death of tens of thousands of people, which made Xu Bao very confused.
"What kind of person is Lord Ye..." Xu Bao thought in his heart, and quietly turned back. Behind Ye Guan, several generals who followed the army to fight with the army. Among them, the captains of each brigade followed their respective brigades, and were considered senior generals of this expedition. Behind Ye Guan were the lieutenants and generals who were directly titled by the Empire. These people were fighting on the battlefield for many years and had countless military achievements. Each of them was a good general who had experienced many battles. In any place in the empire, they were all people who called the wind and rain, but they were willing to follow Ye Guan's command and obey the order.
Although Xu Bao has been in the Eastern Palace for seven years, he has never really been on the battlefield. Even so, he understands that the positions of the generals behind him in the Eastern Palace are the mainstay. Such a person also obeys Ye Guan's orders, but Xu Bao is even more confused.
Ye Guan always looked at the sergeant with a friendly look, and rarely got angry. No matter what happened, Ye Guan's face was always calm and confident. It seemed that anything could be easily resolved in front of him.
Long before Ye Guan became the personal guard of the East King, he was also a general who fought on the battlefield, both civil and military, and could be said to be invincible. At that time, most of his subordinates were now generals led by the East King's Mansion. After Ye Guan was seriously injured and retreated from the front line, many of his former subordinates wanted to retreat with Ye Guan, but were stopped by Ye Guan. Later, the construction of Wuxingcheng was almost completed by Ye Guan alone. He reorganized the team and carried forward Wuxingcheng.
Ye Guan's deeds were widely circulated in the Eastern Palace. When everyone heard Ye Guan's name before, everyone felt respectful. At first, Xu Bao felt this way when he saw Ye Guan. But after contact, Ye Guan's feeling changed a little. He was not like the high-level official of the royal palace as admirable as the legendary one, but more like an elder in a clan. He gave people the feeling of spring breeze, which was very comfortable, making people willingly obey his orders. As long as he was with Ye Guan, he would involuntarily want to listen to him.
This felt very strange. Xu Bao thought about it, then secretly glanced at Ye Guan again, and a smile hung on the corner of his mouth.
Ye Guan seemed to have a feeling, and also looked back at Xu Bao, smiled softly at Xu Bao, making Xu Bao's heart feel like spring breeze.
But Ye Guan is not in a good mood now. Because he has not found a way to crack Qiu Changcheng, nor has he figured out the intentions of the person behind Shen Tuyan.
The practice of death energy that he had thought about before was just a unilateral imagination and there was no evidence to support it. Ye Guanxiang considered as many things as possible, but he was surprised to find that there were too few things he could think of about this matter.
Ye Guan was also worried about this expedition. Not to mention his predictions about Shen Tuyan and the entire Qiuchangcheng area, even if there was no one behind him, it would not be easy for him to directly capture the five cities of Qiuchangcheng with only 20,000 soldiers.
Although his heart was confused, Ye Guan looked very worried and confident as usual. After seeing the generals and soldiers on both sides, they didn't think they would face any difficult problems.
Many generals and soldiers were very eager to follow Ye Guan to fight. Ye Guan has a very high reputation in the army and is known to be unparalleled in wisdom and strategy. Even the current military advisor Zhimo Ning Yi is slightly inferior to Ye Guan.
