In the Lu Ye City forest, the sunlight was blocked by layers of leaves, leaving only traces on the ground.
There are taller bushes growing on the ground, blocking the view and making Luye City Forest look even more mysterious.
There was a "creak", a fallen leaf was trampled to pieces, and a green figure emerged from the woods.
I saw this man hunched over and looking around.
After checking that there was no danger at all, he imitated a bird call.
A group of Guanbei soldiers behind him wearing green armor and holding weapons heard the sound and followed quietly.
Come up.
Since Wei Zeng led his army into the Luye City Forest, a large number of demon cultists and Guanbei soldiers have also sneaked into this forest.
Their purpose is to use the cover of the forest to make Wei Zeng hate it.
Lu Yecheng Forest is the base camp of the Demon Cultists.
Now the Demon Cultists lead people to sneak in the forest, just like birds flying into the sky or fish swimming in the water without any hindrance.
The Yanbei army, which has been marching forward cautiously, is the prey in the eyes of these demon cultists.
Scattered demon cultists have been harassing the Yanbei army continuously, making the Yanbei army restless.
After a large number of demon cultists found out about Wei Zeng and several of his generals, they surrounded them and carried out a sneak attack, trying to surprise them and kill the Yanbei army's generals.
The current group of demon cultists was led by Wang Qinwei.
He had already found out about Wei Zeng and planned to concentrate his efforts on capturing Wei Zeng.
"What's going on with the enemy?
Have they noticed us?"
Wang Qinwei asked a man in Tsing Yi who came back.
"The enemy is still moving towards Luye City, and they have not discovered us.
Now that Wei Zeng is walking ahead with tens of thousands of horses, we can sneak over and surround him."
The man in Tsing Yi replied.
"What about the rest of the enemy army?
The last sneak attack on Wei Zeng failed because other people came to rescue us.
We can't make that mistake again this time.
If other enemies are too close to Wei Zeng, we still have to find ways to kill them.
It's better to divert some of them," Wang Qinwei said.
"In order to besiege Wei Zeng, we have sent people to sneak attack the enemy's left army.
Now the enemy's left army is still chasing our people in circles in the forest.
As for the enemy's right army, it is some distance away from Wei Zeng and it is too late.
Support."
The man in Tsing Yi replied.
"Very good, this time is a God-given opportunity.
We have gathered all the elites of the Guanbei Army this time.
As long as Wei Zeng is surrounded, it will be difficult for him to fly.
But after the last sneak attack, doesn't Wei Zeng have no defense at all?
"Wang Qinwei still has some doubts.
"Of course he is prepared.
He will now search a few hundred meters to the side before marching.
The number of sentry posts has also increased significantly.
But this forest is our territory, and he wants to be prepared for us.
That is nonsense."
Qing Yi The man replied, looking very confident.
"If there is no problem, let the large forces surround him.
Xiang cuts off Wei Zeng's retreat and then launches the attack.

Wei Zeng must not be allowed to escape."
Wang Qinwei felt that this was a good opportunity to attack Wei Zeng, so he ordered the large forces to attack.
Now under Wei Zeng's commanding flag, a man in battle armor was commanding the troops to advance forward.
From the back, this man looked very similar to Wei Zeng, but only from the front did he recognize that this man was Yu Chaogui.
Jiang Luqing wanted to lure the enemy into action, but of course it was impossible for Wei Zeng to take this risk, so Yu Chaogui took on this important task.
Along the way, the various units of Yanbei's army deliberately distanced themselves and created loopholes to attract the enemy to attack.
When the enemy attacked, other units deliberately acted as if they were pursuing them, causing the Chinese army to suddenly appear.
All this is to lure the main force of the demon sect to come for a sneak attack.
Many men and horses were lying in ambush nearby, waiting for the enemy to take the bait.
Yu Chaogui pretended to be Wei Zeng and marched all the way, always being cautious.
I don't know when the enemy will appear, and I don't know when it will be a life-and-death battle.
Yu Chaogui's heart is always hanging on.
Suddenly he heard several birds chirping nearby, which sounded like partridges or cuckoos.
Yu Chaogui felt a warning sign in his heart and stopped his horse to look around.
A skylark's violent voice was heard, and there were loud shouts of killing all around.
A large number of demon cultists sprang out from the surrounding dense forests and went straight to Wei Zeng's Chinese army banner.
"The enemy is indeed coming, brothers are fighting and retreating at the same time."
General Yu Chaogui covered his face and retreated under the cover of soldiers.
The devil cultists came prepared this time.
Those sent were all elites from Guanbei, and their number was several times that of Yanbei's former army.
Their traces were scattered throughout the dense forest for several miles.
Once someone discovered Wei Zeng's handsome flag, a burst of bird chirping attracted all the demon cultists.
Wang's personal guards personally led people to block the retreat of the front army, waiting for Wei Zeng to arrive and seal the encirclement.
Looking at the Yanbei army retreating in panic.
The royal guard was very proud.
When Wei Zeng's handsome flag appeared, Wang's guards blocked the front with others, wanting to see the last frightened look of their prey.
"Wei Zeng, if you are going to run away this time, you should just obediently bring the head here.
Although I lost to you a few years ago, I also let you have a bad luck four months ago.
But you laugh best when you laugh in the end.
You can't escape from my grasp after all."
Wang Qinwei stopped Wei Zeng's Chinese army flag and said to the people inside.
"You're right, you laugh best when you laugh last.
Look who I am."
Yu Chaogui pulled off the mask, revealing his face.
"You are not Wei Zeng, I know you.
You are Wei Zeng's favorite general, your name is Yu Chaogui.
No, I have fallen into a trap, retreat quickly."
After seeing Yu Chaogui's face clearly, Wang Qinwei realized that he had fallen into a trap. , hurriedly issued an order to retreat.
But the two armies were already fighting together, and the demon cultists were chasing them all the way.
They had already started to fight, but when they heard the retreat order given by the royal guards, they seemed at a loss.
"Now that you are here, don't even think about leaving.
You devil cultists should go see your main god, why stay in the human world?"
Wei Zeng appeared and said to the personal guards of King Zao who were trying to escape.
"Wei Zeng, since you dare to show up, I will take you as my back-up today even if I die."
Seeing the enemy troops coming from all directions, Wang Qinwei knew that it would be difficult to escape, so he took out his weapons and attacked Wei Zeng.

Wei Zengli ignored him and ordered the archers to shoot at the Wang's guards who were rushing towards him.
During the charge, Wang's personal guard was shot into a hedgehog, fell off his horse, and died immediately.
The demon cultists who lost their command fled in all directions under the attack of Yanbei's army.
However, Wei Zeng had already arranged for manpower to intercept them everywhere, causing heavy casualties to the fleeing demon cultists.
"Wei Zeng, we have now defeated the ambush enemy, what should we do next?"
Sajiali asked her men to continue chasing the enemy, and Wei Zeng came up and asked.
"Of course we are advancing towards Lu Ye City.
The enemy suffered a big loss this time.
We must not dare to attack again.
We will be much smoother on the way forward.
Don't worry about those scattered enemies.
Once Lu Ye City is captured, we will slowly deal with them later.
It’s not too late,” Wei Zeng replied.
"It seems that you want to completely defeat Shui Qingliu in one go.
But Luye City is a big city.
It will not be easy for us to conquer it.
You must be prepared for a long-term siege."
Sajiali reminded.
"Of course I know this, but if the Devil's Cult cannot be eradicated, I will never retreat.
From a public perspective, the Devil's Cult is entrenched in Guanbei and is a big threat to Shifeng City.
Only by completely annihilating them can we ensure that there is no enemy in our rear.
Worry.
Personally speaking, the hatred between me and the Demon Sect has not lasted forever, and it is time to end it now," Wei Zeng said decisively.
After cleaning up the battlefield a little, Yanbei's army continued to advance north, encountering much fewer obstacles along the way.
A few days later, they arrived at Lu Ye City and surrounded and blocked Lu Ye City.
Shui Qingliu has always been confident and calm, although he is a little angry because of successive failures.
But he always believed that as long as he planned well, he would definitely be able to defeat Wei Zeng.
Now that Lu Yecheng was under siege, Shui Qingliu could no longer remain calm due to the deep sense of crisis.
Lu Yecheng can be said to be the headquarters of the Demonic Sect.
If Lu Yecheng is lost, it means that the Demonic Sect is facing destruction.
"I didn't expect that it would reach this point and let Wei Zeng fight at the door of his house.
But it's not over yet.
It's not that easy to capture Lu Ye City."
Shui Qingliu said angrily as he looked at the Yanbei army below the city.
"Lord Demon Lord, you'd better leave Lu Yecheng.
We will risk our lives to escort you out of the city."
An Qianwei said worriedly.
"I won't leave.
Today's Guanbei is my world.
How can I hand over the country to others?
Beware of those officials and wealthy businessmen.
Anyone who dares to collude with the enemy will be killed without mercy.
I will personally guard this place.
Wei Zeng can take me As long as Lao Zuo leads the cavalry, I will take back the lost land bit by bit," Shui Qingliu said stubbornly.
"But Mr.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
Demon Lord is the leader of the sect.
If you make a mistake, the whole sect will be over.
I will fight to the death and defend Lu Yecheng.
It is better for Mr.
Demon Lord to leave.
I can guarantee that Lu Yecheng will be safe and sound before Lao Zuo comes. " An Qinwei advised.
"Lao An, I know you are loyal, but I can't leave this time.
Guys, do you have the confidence to defend Lu Ye City?"
Shui Qingliu shouted to the people on the city wall.
The demon cultists responded.
They all expressed their loyalty.
"People's hearts can be used, haha.
Guys, the Zuo Guard has led the cavalry here.
As soon as the Zuo Guard arrives, the enemy will have no choice but to flee.
Once the enemy is defeated, I will give each of you promotions and titles. " Shui Qingliu said with a smile.
The demon cultists cheered again.
An Qinwei was still worried, but after seeing this, he did not try to dissuade him any more.
Under Shui Qingliu's instructions, he arranged for defense.
"If you don't die, Wei Zeng will be reborn.
It's time to end the hatred between us."
Shui Qingliu looked outside the city and said secretly.
Wei Zeng looked at Lu Yecheng and his heart was filled with excitement.
"The devil cultists are the scourge of Guanbei.
This time I will wipe you out.
Lian'er, I promise you to avenge you, and I will do it soon.
Once Guanbei is pacified, I will go west and eliminate Zhang Leng. , and then go to Kansai to pick you up personally.”
Winter in Guanbei comes very early.
The north wind starts to howl in the month and the weather starts to turn cold.
The north wind howled all night, and all the green leaves that were originally hanging on the branches fell to the ground.
Amidst the howling north wind, all the forests in Luye City became bare.
The withered yellow color contrasted with the pale color of the sky, showing a sense of solemnity.
Under Luye City, Yanbei's army has laid siege to the city.
The camp is working day and night to build siege equipment.
The sentry posted by Wei Zeng outside the camp is also always aware of the enemy's movements to guard against sudden attacks by the enemy.
"Is it possible for us to capture Lu Yecheng before winter comes?
The winter in Guanbei is very cold, and I am afraid that the soldiers will not be able to bear camping in the wild for a long time.
If heavy snow falls and blocks our logistics supply, I am afraid that we will only have to retreat.
Is there any way to go?"
Wei Zeng asked.
Wei Zeng wanted to eliminate the Demonic Sect, but Lu Yecheng was also a dangerous city and it would not be easy to conquer at once, so Wei Zeng summoned the generals to discuss countermeasures.
"Lu Yecheng is too dangerous.
If we attack by force, we will definitely pay heavy casualties.
The Devil's Sect still has strength.
If we give them a chance to counterattack, we may be in a dangerous situation.
Therefore, the attack is definitely on the lower side.

If we want to defeat and capture For Luye City, firstly, the enemy will be besieged for a long time, and they will surrender when they run out of food and military morale; secondly, they will find ways to eliminate the enemy's effective forces, and when the enemy understands that resistance is futile, they will naturally surrender," Jiang Luqing replied.
"Luye City is a big city.
The food and grass in the city can be used by tens of thousands of troops for a year.
Are we just going to waste it with the enemy?
And since we besieged the city, the enemy has not been able to hold on.
How can we eliminate their effective strength?
These two methods are both It won't work."
Wei Zengyi frowned and objected.
"The enemy still has tens of thousands of troops in the direction of Hebingcheng.
If Lu Yecheng is besieged, the people from the direction of Hebingcheng will definitely come back to support.
Finding a way to eliminate these reinforcements will greatly weaken the morale of the demon cultists."
Jiang Luqing replied.
"It's a good idea to attack the enemy's reinforcements.
As long as the enemies in Lu Yecheng are isolated and helpless, it will definitely destroy their determination to resist.
Send people quickly to find out the movements of the enemies in the north and find the opportunity to give them a good beating."
Wei Zeng agreed. road.
"We have already inquired about the enemy's movements in the north.
However, according to reports from those who came back, there are a large number of cavalry in the north, and they are heavy cavalry, numbering tens of thousands.
It seems that they are not easy to deal with."
Yu Chaogui replied.
"Heavy Cavalry A few months ago, the enemy instigated the Zhantu people to attack our rear.
Thinking that the devil sect and the Zhantu people have colluded together, it is not surprising that they can get a large number of war horses.
However, the dense forest of Luye City is our barrier, and the cavalry Fighting in dense forests will increase your combat effectiveness If they are greatly weakened, it is not impossible to find the right opportunity to defeat them.
"Yu Chaogui, please find out the movements of the enemy's cavalry.
Don't be caught off guard by the enemy's cavalry."
Wei Zeng knew what the cavalry meant in infantry battles, and he didn't.
If you dare to look down upon him, let Yu Chaogui personally lead people to take precautions
