Chapter 131: Capture the thief first and capture the king first
At this time, an old soldier from Western Shu whispered to someone next to him, "This is truly a ghost! What on earth did the people of Tianqi use to burn so many of our corpses? It also made such a loud noise that the ground was shaking.
Fortunately, I was slow to move forward, as the tall man in our tent ran faster and was caught in the crossfire, getting blown into pieces."
"Don't you smell alcohol? Nothing else can catch fire that quickly."
"What about that sound? That noise is louder than thunder. Could alcohol have caused that?"
"..."
"Do you think this is really a punishment from heaven?"
As the old soldier finished speaking, the person who had just spoken glanced at Long Shang and Gu Lingyue, and quickly said to him, "You don't want to live anymore? Don't say that casually. Have you forgotten those people who were killed guarding the food yesterday?"
Upon hearing this, the old soldier also looked at Gu Lingyue and Long Shang, as if he understood something.
He chuckled, "Brothers, I was just talking nonsense just now. Don't take it seriously, don't take it seriously, haha."
Long Shang looked indifferent and didn't say anything. Instead, Gu Lingyue smiled and said, "Did this old man say anything just now? I didn't hear it. Why don't you say it again?"
Upon hearing this, the old soldier knew that the two people in front of him would not say anything nonsense, and he instantly felt relieved and felt a little grateful to them.
"It's not an important matter, so it doesn't matter if you didn't hear it."
Soon, everyone packed up the tents. Because of what Gu Lingyue had said just now, the old soldier invited Gu Lingyue and Long Shang to go with him.
He was driving a horse-drawn carriage, which was loaded with pots and pans, but it was barely big enough for people to sit.
Only then did Gu Lingyue realize that they were the kitchen soldiers. The reason they were walking so slowly was because the Prince of Western Shu was ill, and they were decocting medicine for him and helping to clean up the tents.
Now they are going to chase Kou Dan to give him medicine.
Gu Lingyue agreed immediately, and she and Long Shang sat on both sides of the carriage respectively. The old soldier whipped his horsewhip and chased after the main force.
At the same time in Youzhou City.
Tang Minghan was extremely anxious.
Yue'er and the other two didn't come back all night, and no news was sent back, so he wasn't worried that it was fake.
Tang Zhenhong knew that Gu Lingyue and Tang Wenle had dealt with corpse soldiers before, so he was relatively unsure. However, when he thought about the fact that they had to burn those corpse soldiers under the noses of the other side's 300,000-strong army and get food, he suddenly became irritated. He should have gone by himself earlier.
At this moment, he looked at Tang Minghan who was swaying back and forth in front of him and yelled at him, "Can't you just stay still for a while? You're making me dizzy."
"..."
Tang Minghan looked confused.
When did his father start to have dizziness? Is it because he is old and his eyesight is blurry?
He was about to ask, but seeing the worried look on Tang Zhenhong's face, he changed his tone and said, "How about I take someone to greet them?"
Tang Zhenhong thought about it and felt that this was the only way, so he nodded.
"Report~" At this time a soldier ran in hurriedly.
"What's the matter?" Tang Minghan raised his head and asked, with a tired look on his face.
"General, something terrible is happening. The Western Shu army has surrounded the entire Youzhou City."
Tang Minghan's face changed drastically.
Could it be that Yue'er and the others' plan failed and they were captured, so they came here to negotiate terms?
He subconsciously looked at Tang Zhenhong, "Dad..."
"Why are you panicking?" Tang Zhenhong, who had looked worried just now, now looked calm. He said to the soldiers, "Aside from the Western Shu soldiers, are there any other corpse soldiers?"
Yes, how could he forget about this in his hurry? Tang Minghan thought to himself and turned to look at the soldier.
The soldier shook his head. "There are no zombies, only the army of Western Shu."
Hearing this, Tang Zhenhong felt relieved.
Yue'er and the others' plan should have been successful. As for why they didn't come back, I think they were delayed by something, or maybe they were hiding food.
"Let's go and take a look."
Tang Zhenhong stood up and walked outside.
As long as Yue'er and others are not in their hands, he is not afraid of them.
Tang Minghan hurried to catch up.
After reaching the city wall, they saw that the area ten feet away from the wall was densely packed with soldiers from Western Shu.
At this time, a man who looked like a general came riding over on horseback. He pulled the reins and stopped the horse.
Then he sneered at the people on the city wall, "Tang Minghan, you finally dare to show your face. You cowardly little bastard, you only dare to do sneaky things. If you have the guts, come down and fight me for three hundred rounds."
This man had a very loud voice, and coupled with his tall and strong figure, his voice was deafening.
The provocation of the people of Western Shu had no effect on Tang Minghan at all.
He was just worried and confused just now, but when it comes to fighting, he is still not afraid of Western Shu in the absence of corpse soldiers.
Then, he sneered at the Western Shu generals below, "Oh, if you have the guts, then attack us. How can you be considered a hero if you can only show off your rhetoric?"
At this time, Tang Zhenhong had already arranged soldiers to guard the city gates and had also made arrangements on the city walls, waiting for the attack of the Western Shu army.
The Western Shu general was furious upon hearing this. "If that's the case, then prepare to die! This general will take your head as a sacrifice today!"
After he finished speaking, he waved his hand, and the soldiers behind him immediately carried ladders and pushed battering rams to attack the city walls and gates. The catapults behind them also continued to throw stones at the city walls.
Tang Minghan ordered his soldiers to cut down the enemy's ladders, and then shoot arrows at the Western Shu soldiers pushing the battering rams. Any enemy who climbed up the city wall would be killed instantly.
At this time, Gu Lingyue and others also arrived at the foot of Youzhou City.
As soon as they arrived, they saw the Western Shu soldiers attacking the city.
A cold light flashed in Long Shang's eyes, and murderous intent with a bloody smell emerged.
This made the old soldier from Western Shu shu shudder all over and he couldn't help swallowing.
Who is this person? His aura is so terrifying, even more terrifying than their Crown Prince.
Seeing this, Gu Lingyue reached out and pulled Long Shang's hand, then smiled at the Xishu veteran, "Don't be afraid, he's just excited because he saw those brothers attacking the city wall."
"I see." The old soldier nodded awkwardly. "Young people are full of vigor and vitality, which is good."
As he spoke, he took out a water bag and looked towards the front of the army.
After all, Western Shu had an army of 300,000, and not all of them went up to attack the city. More than half of the Western Shu soldiers were still on standby.
There were so many people that he couldn't see where their prince was for a moment, but thinking that he must be in front, he prepared to walk forward.
But no matter how long he kept asking people to move, no one moved.
Gu Lingyue and Long Shang exchanged a glance, then she smiled and said to the old soldier from Western Shu, "Old man, if you trust me, how about I help you deliver it to the Crown Prince?"
The old soldier hesitated for a moment after hearing this, but finally shook his head. "Thank you for your kindness, young man. It's not that I don't trust you, but this medicine is for the prince, so I can't be careless. I'll do it myself."
Gu Lingyue didn't force it after hearing that. She looked towards the city wall.
Fortunately, the people of Western Shu haven't gained any advantage yet, so she doesn't have to worry for the time being.
However, if we want to end this battle quickly, we have to capture the leader first.
At this time, Kou Dan must be surrounded by heavy troops. If he wants to get close to him, he has to start with this old soldier.
