Chapter 36 The Demon Domain (6)

"It's raised by the dog girl, this is a magic trick! Magic trick!" Huang Guo cursed gritted his teeth, turned to see the battle between his subordinates and the Jin people. Although he couldn't capture Li Yun, it was also very refreshing to kill all his subordinates.
But he was immediately disappointed. In just a moment, another terrorist shaking. Li Yun's subordinates also escaped through the sudden gap on the wall. The collapsed wall not only hindered the thief army's pursuit, but also caused considerable casualties.
After the smoke and dust rolled up from the ground, they coughed and wailed everywhere. How could the reaction speed of the thieves be as good as that of Huangguo? Seeing that the entire wall was hit, many thieves came to escape, but were pressed under the wall with a sniffle, and a large amount of blood slowly oozed out of the soil. The exposed limbs could still tremble slightly, but people were sure to be unable to survive. Many people were hit by splashed stones, covered in blood, and fell to the ground and rolled around.
The victory that was almost certain to win suddenly turned like this. Huang Guo cursed and punched the ground, making the ground thud. But the people of Jin had already run away without any figures, and it was meaningless to get angry.
"Go away quickly!" When Huang Guo cursed, Lu Yao repeatedly urged everyone to run wildly.
Li Yun's subordinates were all very miserable at this moment. There were more than a hundred men of the army who followed him a while ago, but under the violent massacre of Huang Guo's troops, only more than 30 people were left, and each of them were injured. Among them, Bo Sheng's shoulder blade on his left was hit by heavy weapons such as iron vertebrae, which seemed to be broken, and his entire left arm was dragged around him. It was not until this time that he had the time to tear some fabric and fix his arm on his chest.
Although the injuries were extremely serious, the blood bravery in the bones of the Hu people in the northern border supported Bo Sheng, making him excited. He stared at his bloody eyes and said with a loud voice: "General Lu, I have already remembered your life-saving grace. But now is not the time to chat, so don't delay! Let's go out of the city to summon the soldiers of the beggar army and beat the thieves out!"
"Fuck, Lao Bo is right. Go quickly!" Li Yun said repeatedly.
So the group stepped faster.
Each lifang in Yecheng is square, surrounded by high walls, and there is no other way except the fangmen on all sides. Inside the lifang, there is also a square layout. The cross street connecting the fangmen divides the lifang into four pieces, and each piece has a cross lane through it.
Lu Yao and others had joined Li Yun's subordinates and advanced along the cross lane in the middle of Lifang. Their travel was extremely fast. At every corner, every gate, and the people leading at the front of the team would always make the most correct response, choose the smoothest path, and avoid any possible danger.
If you can look down from a high altitude, the entire Ye City is like a chessboard composed of countless straight lines, while Lu Yao and others are like a dripping ball. Countless chess pieces on the chessboard are rushing around, but they cannot stop the ball from being extremely agile. They easily cross all the blocks and go eastward, heading towards the city gate at the easternmost end of Ye City, Jianchun Gate.
Lu Yao and others came from afar and could not be so familiar with Yecheng. Li Yun and others were also ordinary. Most of them were refugees from Bingzhou and only came to Yecheng for half a year. Who knows this well about the dense alleys of Yecheng as dense as spider webs?
"I really didn't expect that the weird old man actually had this trick... Daoming, you have picked up the treasure!" Xue Tong ran beside Lu Yao with a little admiration.
"He is not an ordinary old man. Lu Zhi said..." Lu Yao stared at the person who was lying on Chu Kun's back not far away and constantly waving his arms to indicate the direction of his progress. He nodded and shook his head again: "He is the former magistrate of Ye County, and he is the confidant who assisted the King of Chengdu to run Yecheng. No one will be more familiar with Yecheng than him!"
In August of the ninth year of Jian'an in the Later Han Dynasty, Cao Cao expelled Yuan Shang and occupied Yecheng, and then used it as an important base for ruling Hebei. In the 13th year of Jian'an, Cao Cao changed Sikong to Prime Minister and established the Prime Minister's Mansion in Yecheng. In the 18th year of Jian'an, he built the Wei Dynasty's temple in Yecheng. In the war-torn era when heroes emerged in the late Han Dynasty, the Cao Wei regime fully managed Yecheng for more than ten years, not only focusing on the role of economic and cultural center, but also always attaching importance to the military fortification of Yecheng.
For example, on the west wall, there are three fortress groups that are difficult to attack; on the outskirts of the city, there are Wucheng Tunnels used to mobilize troops. These are all facilities of great military strategic significance. In the city, not only the palaces in the north of the city, but also the qili are all under high barriers; even the Lifangs where ordinary people live in the south of the city are surrounded by high walls, and each Lifang can be used as a solid stronghold.
In these lifangs, secret passages of the rushing gates are often reserved for unexpected attacks when the enemy is besieged. The outside of these rushing gates seems to be no different from the thick rushing walls, but the inside is hollow and only a layer of wall bricks is separated from the outside. Everyone just got out and retreated back into the lifang through the rushing gate. This situation falls into the eyes of Huang Guo, who knows nothing about this, and is naturally no different from magic.
What is even less known is that after Geng Ji, the young mansion of Jian'an in the 23rd year of Jian'an, and Wei Huang, Sizhi, rebelled in Xudu, the Cao Wei regime attached great importance to the safety of the land in his heart. At the rammed foundation part of the wall in Lifang, Yecheng, there was a wooden support every hundred steps. As long as the support was withdrawn, the wall would easily collapse.
This was a special arrangement to prevent the enemy from hijacking the nobles' detention center after the enemy's rebellion. The craftsmen responsible for completing this facility were then transferred to the border to serve. Among the officials in Yecheng, only Ye County Magistrate and Wei, etc., knew the secret. And Lu Zhi was the last Ye Ling who took office through normal methods. Since Lu Zhi, the power of the royal kings in the royal family has repeatedly fought around Yecheng, and several local officials died in desperation... No one can know this secret.
No one expected that the plotter of the Chengdu King Sima Ying had the opportunity to see the light of day again, and his familiarity with the terrain of Yecheng became the key to whether he could escape smoothly. Under his command, Lu Yao and others severely damaged the enemy and saved Li Yun and his party's lives without any effort. Without him, Lu Yao would have no way of imagined how dangerous it would be to march in this city that seemed to be a demon realm.
Lu Yao looked at Lu Zhi, who had wrapped his hair in a bun, his face flushed and extremely excited, and suddenly sighed heavily.
"What?" Xue Tong asked.
"I really never expected that I would meet the old subordinate of the King of Chengdu in Yecheng, alas..." Lu Yao suddenly slowed down. He patted Xue Tong on the shoulder: "You go first, I'll break the back."
Xue Tong naturally knew Lu Yao's experience. A few years ago, when the Eight Kings fought, the Lu clan from Jiangdong came to Luoyang from Lu Ji and Lu Yun, who all played for Chengdu Wang Sima Ying, but ended up being killed by the whole clan. I believe that Lu Yao still doesn't know how to face Lu Zhi. He nodded slightly to Lu Yao and strode forward.
Following him, the chariot leader Shi Yangheng and his subordinates were followed by Hu Liuniang and others. Ran Zhan was young and could no longer support his energy at this moment, so Lu Yao simply asked He Yun and others to take turns carrying him. The little baby was very stubborn and was unhappy at first, and he shouted that everyone would leave him behind to avoid dragging everyone down. Ding Miao was irritated when he heard this, and he smashed his chest and suddenly made Ran Zhan calm.
Lu Yao waited for everyone to pass by and said words of encouragement to everyone.
Even if they joined Li Yun's troops, the number of people in the group was only 100, and they all went far in a blink of an eye. Perhaps because this environment was so tense, no one seemed to notice that Lu Yao was left alone.
Lu Yao held his shoulders with his hands and stood quietly.
In the courtyard wall behind him, a vigorous old locust tree stood. Under the reflection of the raging firelight in the distance, the branches of the locust tree seemed to come alive, leaving ghostly shadows in the alley.
The shadow of the tree slanted horizontally, while Lu Yao did not move.
He just inhale deeply and exhale slowly.
As he took a deep breath, one figure after another appeared from the walls on both sides of the alley. These people were fully armed soldiers. Just as they appeared, dozens of longbows were bent like a full moon, and the arrows clasped on the strings emitted a cold light. Each arrow aimed at Lu Yao.
After all, they underestimated these bandits! Lu Yao sighed secretly. Although he had used the collapsed wall to cause serious losses to them, and although he had tried his best to increase the speed of his own movement to the highest level, they still rushed up. If such a group of warriors as fast as wolves, if they were allowed to entangle them, they would definitely die. But...
Lu Yao took a step back with his left leg and raised his gun in front of his right arm, as if dozens of strong bows and hard crossbows ready to be fired did not exist at all.
Wherever his iron spear was heading, the other end of the alley, and then a clanging sound of iron armor sounded, and a mighty Wuhan boy walked out slowly with an iron spear in his hand.
*******
The clicks, red tickets, and collections in the past two days have collapsed completely. Is it so sad that the update time has been changed to the night? It’s miserable...
In fact, today's chapter was completed at 5:00 pm, but maybe it was because of the cold, my mind was a little confused. For some reason, I actually thought it had been over... So I was still excited in the reader group that a new chapter would be released tomorrow morning. Only then did I realize that I had not paid off the public food for Tuesday... I was ashamed.
Chapter completed!
