Chapter 39 Late Night Visitor It was late at night, the night was dark, the sky was covered with dark clouds, and not even a trace of moonlight could shine through.
In Huangqiu City, the lights were brightly lit, and in the military camp, everyone was sleeping in their clothes.
The city was illuminated like daylight, and crowds of people were surging to prevent the Duo army from raiding.
Under the cover of night, a black figure flew across the sky from the north of Huangqiu City.
The speed was so fast that one could barely make out its moving blur.
The strong one on the throne Only those with a strong throne can fly in the air so quickly The black figure flew effortlessly over the city wall, flashed past under the cover of night, and then swept into the main camp with lightning speed.
The figure flashed as smoothly as clouds and flowing water.
The lights in the military camp were brightly lit, and people patrolled constantly, but no one found any trace of him.
The black figure quietly went straight to Lin Zhennan's residence and pushed in the door without anyone knowing.
"Who?"
Wei Zhennan looked shocked, and the sword on his waist was instantly unsheathed.
The light in the room illuminated the face of the black figure clearly, but this person was Ling Jiannan, the leader of the Jiuhua Sect Sword Peak.
"Why, don't you even recognize me?"
Ling Jiannan said coldly.
"This is the Chief Ling of the Jiuhua Sect.
I didn't know that the Chief Ling came here late at night, and I missed the reception from afar.
Please forgive me."
Wei Zhennan sheathed his long sword and said respectfully.
"What's the current situation in Huangqiu City?"
Ling Jiannan asked.
Wei Zhennan replied: "Today the Duo army launched a large-scale surprise attack at night, thanks to the Jiuhua Sect disciples, otherwise Huangqiu City would have been occupied by the Duo army.
Now our army is on high alert, and the Duo army wants to capture Huangqiu City. possible."
"General Wei, for more than ten years, the Duo Kingdom has only caused trouble and provocation under Huangqiu City, but has never attacked the city.
Now the Duo Army is attacking the city in a large scale, which is absolutely unusual.
If the Duo Kingdom attacks with all its strength, General Wei But we can still defend this huge barren hill city."
"This" Wei Zhennan was speechless.
Ling Jiannan's eyes were slightly cold and he said: "I am here today to convey the instruction of Jiuhua Sect's headmaster, and to order Hao Jianfeng, a disciple of Jiuhua Sect's Qingyun Peak, to rush to the capital for help.
In the early morning of the day after tomorrow, the Duo army's food and grass will arrive at the capital.
Battalion, I order you to let Chief Ba Dao and nine Jiuhua Sect disciples go to cut off the Duo army’s food and grass and delay the Duo army’s offensive.”
"However, the Duo army's food and grass must be heavily guarded.
Although the leader of Ba Dao and his nine disciples are powerful, it is impossible to burn the food and grass in the midst of thousands of troops and escape safely.
I, the Second Guards of Huangqiu City, One hundred thousand, with all the soldiers in the city, plus Ling Shouzuo, Ba Dao Shouzuo and all the disciples of Jiuhua Sect, we will hold on to the reinforcements."
Before he finished speaking, Ling Jiannan's expression suddenly turned cold: "You dare to disobey General Wei and the orders of the headmaster of the Jiuhua Sect.
Don't forget that if the headmaster hadn't strongly recommended you in front of the king, the Lord of Huangqiu City would have It’s not your turn to take the position of general yet.”
Wei Zhennan's expression changed, and he was full of bitterness, and said: "Wei should sacrifice his life to repay the kindness of the master.
However, this matter is of great importance.
Should we invite the leader of Ba Dao to come and discuss it?"
"You don't have to tell me tomorrow.
But you have to remember one thing.
I'm here today and you can't tell anyone.
Otherwise, you should know what I'm doing."
Ling Jiannan's eyes were dark and he looked at Wei Zhennan coldly.
Being stared at by such eyes, Wei Zhennan felt as if there were two sharp swords pointing directly at his neck.
An icy chill instantly penetrated his whole body, and he did not dare to say anything more.
"As for how to make Ba Dao willingly lead nine disciples to attack the Duo army's food and grass, that's your business.

Do you understand?"
Ling Jiannan's sudden change of conversation was so cold that Wei Zhennan didn't dare to raise his head and quickly promised.
Ling Jiannan stopped staying.
Wei Zhennan felt a cold wind blowing.
He looked up and saw that the door of the house was open.
There was Ling Jiannan's figure there, and he didn't know where he had gone.
Wei Zhennan took a deep breath of cold air to soothe his tense nerves.
Then he realized that the clothes on his back were soaked with cold sweat at some point, and the cool breeze blew, making him feel cold.
Pushing the door open, Wei Zhennan frowned.
He wanted to burn the Duo army's food and grass in the midst of thousands of troops.
It was not easy.
It was really a narrow escape.
Could it be that the headmaster of the Jiuhua Sect and Ling Jiannan intended to put Ba Dao and the nine Jiuhua Sect disciples to death?
Wei Zhennan was suddenly startled, but he didn't dare to think about it anymore.
The next morning, inside Huangqiu City, there was the main hall of the army.
Wei Zhennan is in the upper seat.
The leader of Ba Dao and ten Jiuhua Sect disciples including Qin Yu, Chang Sheng, Lian Meng, Die Wu, Hao Jian Feng, Jian Wu Feng, Kuang Dao, Qi Hao, Yao Chen and Shi Youming are sitting on the right side.
Arrange left and right.
Wei Zhennan stood up, cupped his hands and said: "Yesterday, the Duo army launched a large-scale attack, and our army was caught off guard.
The leader of Ba Dao and the elite disciples of the Jiuhua Sect took action in time to stabilize the situation.
Then the great wizard of the Duo country cast a spell, and we Huangqiu City is in danger, but fortunately Shu Peak disciple Diewu and Qingyun Peak disciple Changsheng used the wind and fire techniques, and our army was able to win a great victory.
On behalf of all the soldiers of Huangqiu City, I thanked the Chief of Ba Dao and all the Jiuhua Sects. disciple."
"General Wei is serious."
Ba Dao said.
Wei Zhennan sat down and said with a serious expression: "According to reports from spies outside the city, there were only a few thousand fires in the Duo army's camp the day before, but now there are more than tens of thousands.
The country of Duo mobilized a large number of troops and gathered outside Huangqiu City.
Now I’m afraid it’s more than 300,000.”
Hearing this, everyone's expressions darkened.
The soldiers of the Duo Kingdom were already brave and good at fighting.
For decades, the defenders of Huangqiu City had been able to maintain a stalemate with the Duo army by relying on the high walls and strong city walls as well as their numerical superiority.
But now the number of Duo soldiers has exceeded half of the defenders of Huangqiu City, and everyone's heart is heavy.
"In yesterday's battle, our army suffered more than 10,000 casualties.
Our army was always vigilant, and the soldiers were sleeping in their clothes, not daring to slack off at all.
Our soldiers were tired, while the enemy's army was waiting for work.
Comparing the two, I don't need to say more about the advantages and disadvantages.
Said, "I have called you here today to discuss the strategy of retreating from the enemy."
A general said: "General, the war in Huangqiu City is tense now, why not report it to the king and ask the king to send troops to help."
"The capital is far away from Huangqiu City.
It takes at least two days to leave.
It will take another three days for the king to send troops to help.
Then Huangqiu City may have been occupied by the Duo army."
Wei Zhennan said.
Another general said: "General, Gong Sun Zan, the lord of Muhua City, commands the three counties of Cangjiang and has many soldiers and generals.
Why not ask him for support."
"This is a good idea, but although Muhua City is the closest to Huangqiu City, it takes three days to get back and forth.

Who can guarantee that the Duo Army will not launch a general attack during this period," Wei Zhennan said.
All the generals were silent and had no choice but to do anything.
At this moment, a young general in white robe suddenly stood up.
It was Wei Zhennan's son, Wei Zheng.
"Commander Father, the 300,000-strong army of the Duo Kingdom gathered outside Huangqiu City.
The loss of food and grass was huge in one day.
If we can catch them by surprise and burn the Duo army's food and grass, it will definitely buy our army some time."
Wei Zheng said.
Everyone nodded in agreement, but the Duojun camp was thousands of miles away, and who knew where the food and grass would be placed.
If they acted rashly, they would be unable to help but burn the food and grass, and there would be no return.
"Report" The shout of a messenger suddenly came from outside the hall, and immediately a soldier quickly rushed into the hall.
"Report to the general, spies outside the city have come to report that they have discovered that the Duo army's food transport troops will pass by Duanhun Cliff at the second watch tonight":
