Chapter 418 The invasion of the army

"Who is coming?" Li Mingyang first asked subconsciously, and then suddenly understood Yan Kuo's intention and asked directly, "Is there an enemy outside the city?"

Yan Kuo nodded: "I found that the thief was approaching this way."

Yan Kuo and Li Mingyang did not cover up at all when they spoke. Deng Lin listened clearly, but it was precisely because of these words that he felt cold: "There are thieves coming here? Lord, I'll deal with this matter right away.

Seeing Deng Lin's frightened appearance, Li Mingyang naturally knew that he was not afraid of enemy attack, but because he was responsible for guarding the stronghold outside Mingyuan City, otherwise he would not have the position of count. If the stronghold was attacked, he was not afraid, but he was afraid that some thieves could cross the stronghold and directly attack the city.

Li Mingyang stopped Deng Lin and said with a smile, "Don't be afraid. Since I came here because I know the difficulties of your defense, the stronghold is not dangerous. There is nothing the thief can do if he wants to cross the stronghold and attack the city directly."

"Yes, yes, the prince sees it clearly." Deng Lin finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then immediately said, "I'll go to the stronghold immediately and bring people back to help."

"No, just leave it to me." Li Mingyang stopped Deng Lin again, and then stopped explaining too much and took Deng Lin out directly.

As soon as Deng Lin left the viscount's mansion, he saw a large number of monks entering the city. He just wanted to leave, but suddenly found that the costumes of those people were very familiar. When he took a closer look, he found that it was the people in the famous sharp knife team in their Jinzhu army. At first glance, there were at least 2,000 sharp knife team monks coming here. Deng Lin finally understood why Lord Ghost King was so stable. With this strong team guarding here, as long as the four groups of "thieves" wandering nearby came out to attack the city together, there would definitely be no danger.

The people in Mingyuan City did not participate in the original Central Plains campaign like Deng Lin. Suddenly, they saw so many monks entering the city. Although they couldn't see what their cultivation were for a moment, at least hundreds of these people seemed to be stronger than their count, and they all became Very confident. In fact, even Deng Lin is not like this. If it hadn't been for Li Hong's direct line, he would have wanted to join the sharp knife team.

When the monks of a sharp knife team entered the city, Deng Lin suddenly realized that there seemed to be a magic circle outside the wall they guarded.

"Your Majesty, where?" Deng Lin didn't know the meaning of the existence of the magic circle, but also asked doubtfully.

"Oh, there is a little killer hidden there. Don't worry." Li Mingyang explained that in that array, he naturally summoned 10,000 real ghosts. Of course, although it is less than 10,000 now, he still has a lot of troops.

Thinking that Li Mingyang came with a sharp knife team, not a large number of monks of the Jinzhu Army, and thought of a message he received a few days ago. Although Deng Lin tried his best to be patient, he couldn't help asking, "Your Majesty, we received some rumors here three days ago, as if rumored that Even the thieves on the other side of the city defense line have been eliminated, and it seems that they have been uprooted overnight. Did any of us do it?

The so-called Liancheng defense line is the place that originally borders Shu County and Pingyuan County. Because the border area is very large, a long border defense line has been directly established on the border. Now that Shu County is gone, Shu County has become Shu Dao, but the pressure on the border defense line is still huge. However, a few days ago, Deng Lin learned from some businessmen who came to do business that the thieves on the Liancheng defense line had been completely annihilated. Although he was very excited, he did not dare to confirm that there was no official news from Tianren County.

Li Mingyang was very surprised that Deng Lin could receive this news, but he did not hide it. He said directly, "It was done by me and the two Lord Yan. After all, the thieves on the border are still the most difficult outside Shu Road. We first dealt with the situation there before we came here."

Although he was also psychologically prepared, Deng Lin still smacked secretly after hearing Li Mingyang's answer. Everyone knows that the so-called thieves are just some tacit calls. Such thieves disguised as regular troops are actually the most difficult. Their combat effectiveness is naturally much better than those of thieves, but because of the name of thieves, they can naturally use their unscrupulous means, and it is the most troublesome. That is, they don't have a clear base. After all, they secretly have the support of forces behind them, and naturally they don't need to build a hill. Therefore, the biggest difficulty in fighting these thieves is that it is difficult to find their foothold and then annihilate them all.

However, in the news received, the thieves outside the defense line of Shudao Liancheng were completely annihilated. At least 40,000 so-called thieves were killed, and the rest of the monks were also mysterious, but everyone knew that it must be more or less auspicious.

Because these were all the news from some businessmen before, although Deng Lin was subconsciously willing to believe it, after all, he could not be verified. Now that the news is true, Deng Lin can only sigh with the mysterious methods of Lord Ghost King. As for how he did it, Deng Lin knows that even if he asks, it must be Ask for nothing.

While Deng Lin was thinking about these things, he suddenly heard the exclamation of some monks around him. There are not many monks in Mingyuan City. After all, there are not many monks in many cities in Tianren County now, but at this time, his men exclaimed so unbearably there, which naturally attracted Deng Lin very much. Heart. But before he scolded those people, he was directly stunned on the wall.

On the plain outside the city, a large number of monks have begun to appear. Deng Lin is naturally a veteran of many battles. At a glance, he can tell that the number of monks coming from afar must be extremely large. Sure enough, after looking carefully for a while, he couldn't help but be stunned: "How come, how come there are so many?"

Now he doesn't blame his men for panicking. Now the number of enemies coming from afar is at least 20,000, and it is even obvious that the number of enemy troops is still increasing. How can they not panic when they see such a situation? There are a lot of thieves here, but no matter what, those thieves have been sporadically harassing the mining of spiritual veins here. However, they didn't expect that they would attack the city, and they didn't want to attack the stronghold, but the Mingyuan City.

Seeing this situation, Deng Lin immediately took a peek at Li Mingyang and said secretly, "Is the Ghost King really a fairy? How could he guess that these 'thieves' would make a big move? As soon as the talents of the sharp knife team entered the city, a large number of enemy troops came?"

The expression on Li Mingyang's face was very serious. Seeing that the number of enemy troops had reached 30,000, Li Mingyang was somewhat surprised.

He was not surprised that these thieves would jump over the wall in a hurry. After he rushed to Pingyuan County first with a sharp knife team and defeated the four groups of thieves sent by Pingyuan County one by one, he believed that in addition to the Pingyuan prince would be deterred, the prince of Lanhai would certainly be shocked by the mountain. After all, what their thief tactics are most afraid of is Li Mingyang's elite tactics. The terrible thing about the sharp knife team is that no matter how many sentry monks you have, they will certainly not be able to fully grasp the movements of the sharp knife team. Even after discovering the people of the sharp knife team, they may have been eliminated before they can secretly move away. .

All the thieves sent by the Prince of the Plain were uprooted, especially one by one, which naturally gave Prince Lanhai the idea of changing tactics. Now it seems that they must no longer intend to disperse, but are ready to start a group battle. Anyway, these thieves claim to be united. Already, it has nothing to do with him, Prince Lanhai.

Just thinking that they had united with so many so-called thieves without scruples, and even directly crossed the stronghold to attack Mingyuan City, Li Mingyang's anger suddenly increased. If you don't unite, just a group of thieves to harass Li Mingyang will not get angry. After all, Guo Yunshan also said that the confrontation between big forces and big forces is so entangled that there may never be any chance of decisive battle, but the secret small actions must be continuous.

But small actions are bearable, and now these people have gathered 30,000 troops to brazenly attack Mingyuan City, which is not just a small move. In particular, they chose to attack Mingyuan City instead of attacking strongholds, which is of different significance.

If it's just attacking strongholds, it's not unbearable. The strongholds are originally used to compete with each other. The bad point is that it is that it is a killing field, just depends on who can withstand consumption. But the other party came directly to attack Mingyuan City, which means that they have begun to invade. Even if they don't want to admit that they are under the guise of thieves, the fact that 30,000 monks invaded is here. Li Mingyang is too lazy to play such a snake with them.

30,000 monks, it is absolutely easy to conquer Mingyuan City, and once Mingyuan City is destroyed, with the current distribution of troops in Tianren County, they can't stop the advance of these monks in a short time. If I didn't come here in advance, but came to support after getting the news that Mingyuan City was destroyed, by then these so-called thieves may have broken several cities in a row and then left.

If this is really the case, and not to mention how many losses Tianren County will suffer, the most important thing is that the rumors of empty troops in Tianren County have been completely confirmed. In this way, it is very likely to cause other Central Plains bosses who have been staring at each other to fight. At the beginning, the sudden rise of Changyun County by the king of Shu caused such a great turmoil, not to mention that now he has completely unified Tianren County.

Thinking of this, Li Mingyang suddenly gritted his teeth and said, "It seems that you are going to tear your face."
