There were eight high-ranking officers standing in front of him with a doubtful expression, but they didn't dare to ask about it. The army in the middle had dealt with them according to Murong Yu's instructions, and after they had killed off two soldiers who had shaken the morale of the troops, the others became more obedient.

Every day, he would bring five thousand cavalrymen to Peace City to scold King Xiao Yao, to rebel against him, to rebel against him. As long as he could think of any words to use, to assassinate the crown prince, to kidnap the eighth month of his pregnancy, to murder the Duke of Qin, to kill the Duke of Qin, to all sorts of other crimes, and even to the point of making up some lies, he would naturally not scold the prince himself. However, he did not know where he had found a few loud voices, and at the same time, a few men who were very good at cursing.

Mu Rong Tao was quite calm, perhaps because he wasn't scolding him directly, but those scolding words and those other things were all done by him. After all, the soldiers of the Central Army heard it and felt the increasing excitement and morale, while those of the people who had pledged allegiance to An Cheng were slightly lacking in confidence. They didn't know what to say back their scolding up, so it was better for them to just fight a battle, but Murong Tao didn't give an order, so everyone in An City could only stay put their weapons on.

Mu Rong Tao naturally had his own reasons for staying still. The last time Lan Ruo City suffered a terrible defeat, they must have come prepared this time, and they even cursed him continuously, clearly saying that they wanted to provoke him to leave the city, so he couldn't fall for the trap. He sent a messenger pigeon to Murong Hai, telling him to pay close attention to the movements in the city, but there was no response, so he could only stay in a stalemate for now.

But this time, he couldn't guess Lan Ruochen's intentions. It was true that Lan Ruocheng was scolding them on purpose, and had purposely put his life on the line in order to get rid of his shame. Therefore, Murong Tao was a bit hesitant, because Xi Qi's men wouldn't risk their lives for him.

With this hesitation, Lan Ruo City used this time to gather 150,000 troops near An City. This battle was indeed shameless, and he was only waiting for a signal, a signal to attack An City from all sides. Of course, he couldn't be too anxious, because compared to their anxious waiting, the responsibility of the people in An City was even greater.

Although he was willing to return to Bei Heng, his weapon talisman was confiscated by Murong Tao. Originally, Murong Yu wanted to go to Murong Tao to steal it, but he was afraid of alerting the enemy, so he could only accept Long Xiaotian's suggestion. Furthermore, as long as the person who produced the weapon talisman was Hua Tiankong, it would definitely be useful.

As expected, Mu Rong Tao did not completely trust them. He arranged for his men to live in the east side of the city, which was not too far away from An Cheng and the military aircraft camp, but there was one good thing about it. It was that they were close to the poor area of An City, and their families were not spread out for the time being, so their mission was to spread everyone out among the citizens of An City and incite them.

Murong Yu believed that as long as he did the right thing, the people would still stand on the Emperor's side. Even though Xiao Yao was a member of the royal family, and even though he was a noble prince, he was still a rebel. If he didn't have a position, then he was a traitor.

He was not afraid of the dangers of war, and if he wanted to fight, he would have to stun Murong Tao for a while. A few days ago, he had only taken advantage of a sudden attack and used his underhanded schemes and methods to coerce and lure people into taking down An City, but he would be happy for a short while. An City was a city that he would take back no matter what price he had to pay this time, otherwise, how could the morale of the Central Army be raised.

In the middle of the night, the sky was covered with dark clouds and there was no light from the stars or the moon. There was not even a trace of wind, and the armored soldiers were gradually getting tired, but Lan Ruo City was still very energetic.

They had been scolding him for the past few days, but he hadn't spoken the truth. Why did he suddenly say that he was going to attack the city in the middle of the night? Furthermore, he didn't have any ladders or vehicles, so how were they going to attack the city?

When someone asked, Lan Ruocheng smiled evilly: "We will naturally have the help of the heavens. Brothers, this is a good opportunity for us to achieve great deeds. We will first bring the five thousand elite soldiers to approach the city gate, the rest will wait for the signal to act!"

"What signal!"

"Zhang Wei, Qian Wu, Song Lianshan, Bai Zijian, listen up!"

"Your subordinate is here!"

"Pay close attention to the skies above Peace City. When the rockets rise into the sky, lead your army and rush into the city to reinforce them. If there is any delay, punish them according to military law!"

Everyone nodded in agreement. Zhang Wei, who had always been on good terms with Lan Ruocheng, could not help but ask, "General, could it be that we have arranged for a spy in An City?"

"That's right!" Lan Ruocheng laughed, "I'm not afraid of making it clear to you all now, but this Inner Disciple is very powerful. Everyone, you can rest assured that we will win this fight!"

"So that's how it is! General Ge Ming, since General Jiang is so confident, let's destroy that yellow haired brat's prestige tonight! " The coarse mine's Song Lianshan waved the long spear in his hand and spoke with ambition. These days, he had been holding his breath.

Lan Ruocheng said, "This time, we will definitely be able to take An City back, but we might not be able to capture that brat Mu Rong Tao. Lan Ruocheng said," This time, we will definitely be able to take An City back, but we might not be able to catch that brat Mu Rong Tao.

After spending so much time with him, everyone had gotten to know a lot about his character. He was a casual man, but now he had brought out the Grand Preceptor's entire being to express his determination. In fact, as long as they were in the army, who wouldn't want to win the war?

These past few days, they had been cursing as they assassinated the city while sending out the hidden sentries outside the city. In the past few days, there had been no one who dared to come half a mile away from the city, so as long as they were careful, they could sneak a mile away from the city gate without being discovered.

Not long after they arrived, the west side of An City and the north side of the city started to light up in flames. The people of Long Xiaotian had made their move, while Murong Yu had been following beside Hua Tiankong the entire time, and when he saw the light, he immediately brought him to the camp of the city guards. Murong Tao was also very careful, he divided the city guards into three sections, and Murong Yu could only accompany Hua Chaotian to the place closest to the south side of the city gate, where there were only around five thousand people.

While the rockets were being sent out, the Black Words Battalion quietly took care of the warlords and captains of the south gate that were on duty tonight, and the remaining soldiers turned into scattered sand. The five thousand soldiers led by Hua Tiankong and Murong Yu quickly arrived at the south gate.

Murong Tao was caught off guard and wanted to fight for his life, but he found that the army was engulfed in flames and the stables had become even more chaotic. Many war horses had their tails set on fire and started to charge forward recklessly, many of them taking advantage of the chaos and shouted, "The imperial army has entered the city, General Hua has rebelled! The city's garrison is rebelling again! "

Tuo Baku rushed over and said, "Young master! Looking at the situation, Lan Ruo City came prepared. I said that guy Hua Tian couldn't be relied on, but he was able to turn the tables on the king just because he was willing to submit to him. Look at this … "What a mess this is, I don't even know where to start, even in the dark …"

While they were talking, one of the soldiers came over and reported urgently, "General Tuoba, General Tuoba, the Northern Heng Soldiers will kill the moment they see us, the soldiers of the two battalions sleeping in the north of the city have already been killed …"

"What?" Young prince, what's going on? "My soldiers …" Tuo Baku widened his eyes in anger. He no longer had the time to talk to Mu Rong Tao and quickly went to find his men. It seemed like he wouldn't be able to help him fight anymore.

If Murong Tao had wanted to do something in the beginning, after hearing the report, he could only give up on that idea. After all, it was only Lan Ruo City's strategy to kill the soldiers of the Xi Qi army, and it wasn't a secret that the Central Yuan soldiers would love to kill them. It was useless to explain that it was a trick of the Lan Ruo City.

In fact, other than the men from Black Tiger Mountain, there were also many martial artists who had been hired by Lan Ruo City. The soldiers of Xi Qi and the soldiers of Bei Heng were dressed differently, so it was not easy for them to be mistaken even at night. Furthermore, they had already figured out the situation during the day, and these people were fighting in the dark while running.

In fact, a thousand or two thousand people had died in such a war was not a lot, but the most frightening thing was that in such an environment, and in addition to that, there were people who kept yelling at the people to kill all the Siqi dogs and chase out the monsters. They seemed to have come specifically for ShiYan's people, and those people naturally had other ideas.

They were only here to help the Carefree King and not for the invasion of him. If all of them were to go against him, then the one hundred thousand people they had to deal with in the depths of the city would be nothing. Therefore, under the persuasion of a group of Western Qi generals, Tuo Baku and Zhong Yuan decided to retreat.

Mu Rong Tao immediately knew that once the 100,000 people of Tuo Baku left, he would not be able to control the situation in An City. Therefore, he could only pull back his troops and fiercely order them to retreat, so all of the rebel army retreated from An City and defend Ping City!

In this battle, Mu Rong Tao had lost a city, 10,000 soldiers, as well as many war horses and military supplies. Of course, he could still run fast, otherwise, when the people of Lan Ruo City arrived, more would die. When Lan Ruo City had chased them for 50 miles, they would have killed and captured a large group of soldiers who were in a panic.

Finally, he was able to get rid of his previous shame. Not only that, it was also a battle to bring honor to his ancestors! There were less than a hundred casualties in the Midway Army of Lan Ruo City. What kind of surprise attack was this, taking down such a large city with less than a hundred casualties. The Emperor must have been able to relax a lot by sending a report to Jincheng that night. A war couldn't be considered to be that bad. To have so few casualties was to be considered the worst.

Of course, the martial artists and guards of the Black Tortoise Regiment and the people of the Black Tiger Mountain Tribe that Lan Ruo City had recruited all contributed greatly. However, Yu Qing, the strategist that had been assigned to this task, was one of the ones hired by Lan Ruo City and Lan Ruo City.

"Brother, this time it's really all because of you!" I must do this again. Although I am outside the city, even more nervous than you are inside the city, the feeling of waiting will not be pleasant! " Although Lan Ruocheng complained, he was smiling like a flower.

"The biggest contributor this time should be the brothers of Black Tiger Mountain. Brother Long, thank you for your hard work!" Murong Yu cupped his hands toward Long Xiao Tian. In terms of work and killing, other than the Black Tiger Guards of the Black Tiger Army, it was not an easy task to create chaos throughout the city without harming the common people.

Long Xiaotian was impressed by Mu Rong Yu's plan, "Everything depends on Brother's brilliant plan. If we didn't focus on killing those Western Qi warriors, the Western Qi soldiers wouldn't have retreated so quickly. That way, Mu Rong Tao would be able to fight again!"

"Brother Long, you're too kind. It seems that we coordinated well in this battle. Ruo Cheng was very considerate. If it wasn't for the fact that his men were there in time, the few fires that Murong Tao left behind would have been unbearable."

"Hehe, I knew that brat would have some tricks up his sleeve. Those who aren't able to do so will have to find a way to destroy them when they leave. Fortunately, there is no wind today and the fire is spreading fast, otherwise, we would have to clean up a lot of mess." Lan Ruocheng was quite proud of himself for being able to think of such a thing.

The three of them praised each other. Finally, they looked at each other and gave a smile. They clapped. Everything was said and done. It was a great pleasure for a man to be able to fight like this!

This battle had been defeated in an inexplicable way, and also in an extremely ugly way. Ping City was smaller than An Cheng to begin with, so no matter how you looked at it, it couldn't compare to An Cheng. Moreover, An Cheng lost, it would be even harder to take down the city.

Therefore, he could only hate Murong Hai for doing something unfavorable and not show his dissatisfaction. He had personally fought with Lan Ruocheng once in the city, so he did not pay much attention to Lan Ruocheng's deployment, which was why he had underestimated his opponent. How could Lan Ruocheng come up with such an absolute plan in such a short amount of time, with so many aspects working together, he must have a great expert to guide him to this person.

"Young prince, the scouts found out that Lan Ruocheng had hired a scholar surnamed Yu to be his advisor. He used the Black Tiger Army to rebel against Hua Chao, and even the tactics for the war of words were thought out by him." Right now, it was as if Mu Rong Tao had just eaten gunpowder, and if he wasn't careful, he would explode. He didn't even dare to approach his personal bodyguard.

"Military Advisor Yu?" Where did this person come from? Have you heard of him before? "

"That person's full name is Yu Qing, but no one has heard of him. I've only heard that Lan Rui City used to have a wide range of acquaintances, and was well acquainted with the Three Sects and Nine Streams. The Black Tiger Stronghold might have some connections with him in the past, so …"

"Humph!" A bunch of bastards! What had he been doing for a long time? This king has long told you all to investigate the Black Tiger Village thoroughly. Who swore that the Black Tiger Village had nothing to do with the imperial court! " The unlucky teacup was shattered into pieces from the impact.

The personal guards below the arena didn't dare move a muscle or retort. The Black Tiger Camp had nothing to do with the imperial court anyway, who would have guessed that Lanruo City knew so many martial artists? Previously, they only found out that he was the son of the Grand Preceptor.

"Check again!" Send the order out, get everyone in the scout's camp to investigate that Yu's background thoroughly. Also, do not blame this king for being merciless when there are any mistakes in Lan Ruo City's plans! " Mu Rong Tao said viciously. This attack was too much for him.

"A bunch of useless things!" After the janissaries left, Mu Rong Tao was still cursing. Although there were a few of his trusted aides in the tent, they all lowered their heads, not daring to make a sound. They had really lost too miserably this battle.

"Brother Wang, please calm your anger. It's the fault of those in front of us for not cooperating well. If we had attacked Dingcheng first, we wouldn't have been successful in the surprise attack …" Now, only he dared to speak. This blue-clothed young man was his younger brother, Murong Lang, who was a year younger than Murong Tao. He was originally stationed in Ping City, and only he knew that Lin Yi Hai, who was standing in front of him, was their older brother, Murong Hai.

Mu Rong Tao slammed the table fiercely and said, "That's right! If he did not shirk us, we would have attacked Dingcheng in one go. Now that we have fought our way to the riverbank of the river, losing our peace would be a great shame and humiliation! "

"In my opinion, he probably doesn't want to see Brother Wang go too smoothly!" Of course, this was also the truth. However, Mu Rong Hai didn't expect that An Cheng would be taken back by Lan Ruocheng in just one night. An city being taken back was not a small disaster for the Carefree King. The morale of the army had risen. If their own people lost their confidence, the people of ShiYan's army might waver a little. In short, it would be very troublesome.

Mu Rong Tao's face was as black as the sky before the storm. He remained silent for a while before saying, "Send him a letter and pressure. Also, send a letter to father. If I can take down An City once, I will think of a way to take it over again!" Let him not worry! "

"Young prince, in this subordinate's opinion, strategist Yu is a huge threat to us. We still have people hiding in An City. How about we kill him like we did in the past?" A trusted aide finally mustered up the courage to come up with an idea.

After thinking for a while, Mu Rong Tao said, "Let's find out his background first. There aren't many people hiding around. We must use them on the blade!"
