Chapter 590 Monsters cannot be trusted [ask for monthly tickets! ]
“Ling Sansi!”
Yangren certainly did a lot of homework on the many great generals of Yin Kingdom's Wu'an Hall. As a newcomer who had recently taken over the Three Guards of Longyuan, Ling Sansi was naturally also the focus of attention.
During this war, he has been staying in the Divine Capital. Now that he has appeared at Tianxia Pass, it naturally means that the reinforcements from Longyuan City have arrived.
"They come so fast!" After seeing what happened on the field, all the generals of Yangren were shocked.
The soldiers of the Yin State who attacked from both sides were like tigers and wolves. They had ambushed from behind, and the Yang army was caught off guard and was quickly thrown into chaos.
Especially after knowing that the reinforcements from Yin State had arrived, the confidence to bully the weak suddenly disappeared and morale immediately weakened.
The vanguard troops that entered the city were not followed by any other troops. When they were about to open the city gate, several terrifying demon kings suddenly jumped out. The Yang people were very familiar with these demon kings. They were the ones who had appeared on the battlefield before to intercept a large number of Yang troops.
At first, when they were suspicious, no one showed up. Just when they thought they were sure there was no one, they suddenly appeared. This psychological manipulation scared the Yang army to death.
In addition to the four huge demon kings, there were also the strong men in Yin’s army, who rushed out together and quickly wiped out the vanguard of the Yang people who entered the city.
And none of the people who entered the city came out, which further confirmed that Yin’s army had an ambush.
"Retreat!" The commander of the Yang army made a prompt decision and immediately changed the direction of the army and charged backwards.
They had suffered too much when facing Tang Wei. If suffering a loss is a blessing, then all the generals of the Yang army would have been as blessed as the East Sea.
So when he discovered that there might be a fraud, the commander's first reaction was to leave quickly, and no one questioned this decision. Although he thought that the Yin Army of Longyuan City was unlikely to come to support so quickly, it was not surprising to think that the opponent was Tang Wei, so he made some arrangements in advance.
The Yang people outside were thrown into confusion by the Yin army that had come from behind, and had long wanted to escape. When they heard the order, they immediately scattered and fled. The Yin army on both sides chased them, beheading countless people along the way.
A siege that was destined to be successful turned into a clean and decisive defeat.
After fleeing for more than a hundred miles, the main generals of Yang Army stopped and reorganized their troops. Then they all thought of the same thing.
It seems that there aren't many Yin troops ambushing us?
At first, several thousand people rushed down from the mountains on both sides, adding up to just over ten thousand, but they made a great noise.
I thought it was just the beginning, and there should be a large number of troops behind. Now I think it seems to be the end. In the end, there were still only those tens of thousands of people chasing after them, but after the general trend of defeat was formed, the Yang army was more likely to be hit by their own brothers.
Could it be...
Are there only this many people in Yin’s army?
"Impossible." Commander Long Li said, "Ling Sansi led a large army to support us and ambushed us."
The reason for failure can only be this, no matter what.
Otherwise, they will be humiliated again in front of the Canglong Tribe and Huanshen Peak.
……
At Tianxia Pass, after a great victory, the soldiers returned to the city cheering.
But the commander Tang Wei stood on the top of the city wall, still looking serious. Due to the limited number of people, although the siege of the Yang army was thwarted this time, the results achieved were not great, and the Yang army was not completely dispersed. As long as the Yang army rested for two days, they would still be able to attack the city.
This is also why he said that Tianxia Pass can be safe for three days.
We agreed on three days, not a day less, and it would be difficult to add more.
After Ling Sansi led his army back, he landed on the city wall and said with a smile, "Bashan Hou is very smart. The Yang army really thought that I brought a large number of reinforcements from Longyuan City and they didn't dare to fight at all."
It turned out that after the defeat yesterday, Tang Wei sent a letter back to Longyuan City, asking Ling Sansi to come for support.
Just him alone.
If he led tens of thousands of troops to support, it would affect the defense of the capital city and the speed would be very slow. However, there was only Ling Sansi, the Grand Master, who arrived at Tianxia Pass alone with his mount in just half a day.
Ling Sansi arrived before daybreak. The Yang people's army had gathered early in the morning and he arrived just in time.
Tang Wei had already asked someone to make Ling Sansi's flag, and disguised all the Yin troops that were still capable of fighting in Tianxia Pass as reinforcements brought by Ling Sansi.
As expected, the Yang people were fooled. When they saw that it was Ling Sansi who led the troops to ambush, they immediately thought that he was bringing people from Longyuan City and must be a large number of reinforcements, so they fled in panic.
If the Yang people knew that these were the last tens of thousands of fresh troops in Tianxia Pass, they would definitely fight to eliminate them at all costs, and then they would face the city gate that they could take whatever they wanted.
They were now cautious enough when facing Tang Wei, but unfortunately their caution also fell into his calculations.
After a brief cleanup of the battlefield, Tang Wei ordered his men to send out several experts to escort the captured Xiao Ting back to Longyuan City.
Xiao Ting was responsible for sending spies to Kyushu all year round. He might know a lot of secrets and needed to be brought back for careful interrogation. After the order was issued, a heavily sealed prisoner carriage, pulled by two fast horses, set off from Tianxia Pass.
Although the magic power of the mystic is strange, as long as they are properly restrained, they are easier to deal with than warriors. The prisoner car completely isolates the divine thoughts. Even if Xiao Ting is very strong in mystic skills, he is not in the immortal realm after all, and he does not have the ability to break through by force.
He also had many seals on his body and sat in the prison cart, dying. He could only watch helplessly as the cart drove south.
Just as the escort team arrived at the edge of Liangzhou, a black wind suddenly blew up from the ground, and in an instant the sky became dark, sand and rocks flew everywhere, making it difficult to see.
The practitioners in the team realized that something was wrong and were about to approach the prison cart when they heard two loud bangs. Several demon puppets jumped out from the ground, picked up Xiao Ting's prison cart, and quickly flew into the air.
The escorting masters tried to stop them, but were stopped by the magic puppet in mid-air. Tu Shan's figure appeared in the black wind. He waved his hands repeatedly and easily repelled a strong man in the army with one palm.
Then she turned around and lightly caught up with the demon puppet that had just escaped.
But in just a moment, the prison van was easily hijacked.
After landing in the distance, she flipped her hand to break the prison car and released Xiao Ting.
"Demon Queen!" Xiao Ting's eyes sparkled. He had thought that he would be imprisoned in a deep prison and tortured in the capital, but he was rescued halfway. He was really surprised.
Looking at the weak Xiao Ting, the Mountain Slaughtering Demon Queen smiled: "Back then, the Wind Priest valued us demon cultivators, so I naturally have to return the favor and protect the Wind Priest. After all, we are different from those monsters."
"Heh..." Xiao Ting showed a trace of self-mockery, "It is said that those who are not of my kind must have different hearts. Monsters are indeed untrustworthy. Mountain-slaying Monster Queen, you saved me and brought me back to Jiuyang this time. From now on, you will be the person I can confide in the most!"
