Chapter 1056

Fu Shanlie's gaze fell on Hong Ming. When he was away, the adjutant had command authority.

If something went wrong, Hong Ming would have to take the blame.

"The troop behind her is disciplined and murderous, different from the Yuheng Army; you can't grind out such an army without years of battlefield slaughter." Seeing the murderous glint in his superior's eyes, Hong Ming hurriedly explained, "If we launched rashly, I was afraid, I was afraid of ruining the General's plan!"

"Ruined my plan?"

Fu Shanlie suddenly punched him in the shoulder, sending him flying a zhang away: "You've already ruined my plan!"

"Even if she is General Red, these dozens of people can't fly into the city." He suppressed his anger, "The Yuheng City drawbridge was lowered just now, and you actually let go of this great opportunity?!"

Everyone lowered their heads, not daring to speak.

"Trash!" Fu Shanlie pointed at their noses and cursed, "When things are abnormal, there must be demons; how could General Red abandon the northwestern front line and run here in the middle of the night to call for the gate?"

The subordinate who had spoken earlier stammered: "Perhaps, perhaps Yuheng City asked Panlongcheng for help?"

They could ask the Jin Tao Kingdom for help, so why couldn't Yuheng City ask Panlongcheng for help? Speaking of which, the relationship between these two cities is even closer, right? "Ask for help?" Fu Shanlie slapped him on the head, his eyes flashing with murderous intent, "If the one surnamed He could get General Red to take action, why isn't he guarding the city here, and General Red leading the troops to sweep Longchuan!"

General Red would be the boss if she came, of course she would be in charge of the battle situation; how could she guard the home for He Lingchuan in Yuheng City! The subordinate was slapped dizzy, and the others suddenly realized; no wonder they felt something was very wrong just now.

"Besides, why is this 'General Red' wandering around on the city gate for no reason? Isn't it just to let you see her clearly?" Fu Shanlie was furious, "Blind and heartless, falling for such a simple trick!"

He Lingchuan is away; what a great time to attack? And these idiots wasted it! Hong Ming said cautiously: "Then now?"

Attack now? Fu Shanlie looked carefully at the dark red figure on the Nanchengmen again.

Although he scolded his subordinates, could this General Red be the real one?

It was still possible.

After all, General Red's legs are on her own body; who cares where she wants to go?

If she just happened to arrive at a coincidental time... are there few coincidences in this world?

Even Fu Shanlie's own birth was an absolute coincidence.

He actually believed in coincidences more than anyone else, but he couldn't afford to wait any longer.

He could already smell the scent of the Emperor's Flowing Nectar. Once the spiritual nectar descends from the sky, it's not good news for his side.

"Attack, order the attack immediately, don't delay for even a moment!"

"Yes!"

Hong Ming didn't dare to be slow, grabbed the thousand-knot grass knot from his bosom, and snapped it.

The general attack begins!...

Inside Yuheng City.

After the Zhao residence explosion, the residents watching the excitement had all gone home and continued to enforce the curfew.

The streets returned to order.

And after a patrol group had just passed Bai Lu Street, more than thirty people suddenly emerged from two inns and a back alley of a private house at the East City Gate, striding toward the Dongmen, all wearing City Guard uniforms.

The fluorescent spore streetlights were very bright, and the East City Guard team saw that these people were unfamiliar and their movements were suspicious, so they immediately shouted: "Stop, all stop, anyone who approaches will be killed without mercy!"

As soon as they shouted, these people pulled out weapons and rushed toward the city gate.

Before they arrived, dozens of Explosive Copper Talismans were thrown onto the wall.

With a series of bangs, they exploded one after another with smoke.

Every city gate of Yuheng City had external defensive formations, escape-prevention formations, and formations protecting these large formations.

Without first destroying the formations from the inside, it would be very difficult for external enemies to break through the city wall.

"Enemy attack!"

The East City Gate captain ran to the top of the city in three steps, looked outside, and his expression changed drastically:

Countless torches snaked out from the forest, and a massive army gathered here.

Judging by the number, there were no fewer than two thousand!

The rain of arrows flew like locusts toward the top of the city.

Attacking from inside and outside.

The East City Gate captain didn't dare to hesitate; while ordering his men to hold off the enemy attack, he shot a red fire signal arrow into the sky and rang the alarm bell at the same time.

The Dongmen exploded, and the alarm bell rang, which could be heard throughout Yuheng City. But according to regulations, he still had to fire this signal arrow to warn of an enemy attack.

The sound of explosions, the bell, and the red fire signal appeared one after another, and City Governor Zhao Linyang immediately sent City Guard reinforcements to the Dongmen.

He Lingchuan went out to suppress bandits and left eight hundred guards in the city, which was reasonably sufficient. He Lingchuan's adjutant, Chao Qian, threw down his security task and sent two hundred reinforcements to the East City Gate; Zhao Linyang was dissatisfied: "With this little manpower, how is it enough?"

During their conversation, two more smoke signals rose from the East City Gate.

That was the signal that the enemy attack had intensified; Chao Qian shook his head: "The remaining men must guard the Nanchengmen."

Other city gates also had to have men guarding them.

Now Chao Qian had also figured it out; the enemy had sent more than thirty elites to sneak into Yuheng City before dark to lie in ambush. The descent of the Emperor's Flowing Nectar was the signal for them to take action.

These thirty-plus people were very fierce and had long since scouted the terrain, seizing a small section of the stairs to put up a desperate fight, using both formations and flying arrows; the army outside the city attacked the city with all their might, coordinating from inside and outside, with great momentum.

More than four hundred guards had to hold off the attack of more than two thousand people relying on the formation-enhanced East City Gate.

Fortunately, Zhao Linyang and Wen Daolun had already arrived and were directing the defense.

Just at this moment, it began to rain in the sky. The rain was fragrant and a little sticky.

Both sides of the fierce battle were a bit stunned:

The Emperor's Flowing Nectar is here? Choosing this very night, it really knows how to pick its time.

Some of the soldiers transporting supplies in the city couldn't help but look up to catch a few mouthfuls of spiritual rain, and their running speed slowed down.

The supervisor rushed over and whipped them on the back:

"Hurry up, hurry up, who told you to be lazy?"

Yuheng City originally only had the noise of the Dongmen, but once the Emperor's Flowing Nectar arrived, the whole city boiled over.

The inns and private houses near the Dongmen originally had their doors tightly closed, but at this moment, they opened their doors one after another, and more than three hundred merchants and residents strode out, their eyes red as they rushed straight to the Dongmen! Men grabbed fire pokers, women carried rolling pins, porters dragged shoulder poles, and teenagers held the family washbasins... all were weapons picked up at random.

These were all ordinary civilians of Yuheng City.

The guards in battle roared at them: "What are you doing! All retreat, it's dangerous here!"

However, the civilians didn't hear them, their eyes straight as they joined the battle—

Their target was actually the East City Guard team! They helped the enemy beat their own people.

These civilians had no method in their fighting, but they were immensely strong and didn't know pain. A red-eyed teenager was hit on the nose by the hilt of a guard's knife, blood streaming down, but he didn't cry out in pain or flinch, instead using all his strength to hug the guard tightly, his white teeth going to tear at the man's throat.

Meng Shan rushed over and punched him against the wall.

With a thud, the teenager was knocked unconscious and finally stopped moving.

The sudden defection of the civilians made the East City Guard team flustered.

These were not enemies, but neighbors from the surrounding area, some of whom were old acquaintances of the guards, meeting and chatting and greeting each other on normal days; how could the guards bring themselves to attack?
