Chapter 24: The army is designed to lure the enemy, capture the national division and set fire to Mount Qingcheng

At this time, Du Jiang was just sitting in the car, but he didn't know what to do. He had expected Du Yu to fight or surrender, but never expected that Picheng would become so extinct in a blink of an eye, but he didn't know what to do for a moment.

"Come here! I'll send me an order and send someone to the city to find out the truth."

At Du Jiang's order, a group of people were sent out from the team and carefully entered the city. After the soldiers entered the city, they saw that the shops on the street were closed, not like people. At this time, they were inquiring around the streets and alleys, but they could not find anyone for a moment. The people of Picheng seemed to have suddenly evaporated from the world, but this dead silence made them feel a little chilled. They had to continue fumble in the city, while shaking their heads and looking around, fearing that there would be ambushing soldiers in the dark corners of the alleys.

At a corner, the group of soldiers suddenly saw an old man on the street holding a broom and cleaning the street. They were overjoyed and rushed forward, surrounded the old man, and asked loudly:

"Old man, where have you all from Picheng gone? Why is it so depressing now? Where is Princess Nishiro? "

The old man surrounded himself in the face of this sudden Shu soldiers, but his face was not filled with fear. While sweeping the ground, he replied calmly:

"Ha! Why is it so depressing? I don't ask you, but you come to ask me? As a citizen of Shu, why are you here?"

Seeing this old man, the group of Shu soldiers not only looked calm and did not show any panic, but instead organized them to form a group:

"You old guy, I just ask if you know your princess whereabouts. If you know what, hurry up and say, where are so many gossips coming from!"

I only saw the old man sighing, shook his head and said:

"Princess? Princess? She had known that you would have been malicious to come, so she led the people out of Picheng. If you want to ask me where I am now, then I really don't know."

When the soldiers heard this, since they had found out the news, they naturally did not dare to stay in this dead city for a while. So they left the city and reported to Du Jiang:

"Report to the king, we have entered the city to inquire. The city is now empty and no one can follow. I met an old man who only said that His Highness the Princess had led the people of Picheng to escape to other places, and was not in Picheng."

At this time, the national teacher sitting next to Du Jiang heard the scout's report and said to Du Jiang with disdain:

"Your sister, you said that your sister is strong-willed, and I am afraid that she will fight with us to the death. Now it seems that the King of Shu doesn't even know his own sister very well! Isn't this? As soon as our army arrived and before the confrontation was fought, the princess led the people out and fled... Since they were fleeing with the people, the thieves must not be able to go fast. This place leads to Nanzheng, which is a natural obstacle, and even the natives of Qiang people dare not take the path easily. But this place goes east to Ba, and your sister is absolutely unable to escape. I heard that your sister Princess Jinoru has always had some friendship with the White Horse Qiang, so it is predicted that they must have gone out to the West Gate. The King can send an elite soldier to me, and I can definitely capture Princess Jinoru and the thief back together, and then the King of Shu will fall."

When Du Jiang heard that the national teacher was so confident, he nodded and agreed. He selected three thousand elite soldiers to deliver them to the national teacher and instructed him:

"The national master goes to capture the demon, be careful...but... remember not to hurt my sister... Otherwise, I will not be able to explain to the king of Ba Wang Yaerdan."

The national master waved his hand and replied to the King of Shu with great contempt:

"It's just a naughty person who doesn't know the destiny of heaven and does not know the current affairs. But... the King of Shu can rest assured that I will not let His Royal Highness make any mistakes."

Then, Du Jiang and the national army divided into two groups. The national army led the elite troops out of the west gate. When he drove out of the west gate of the city, he saw that the trajectory left behind by a large group of chariots and horses were everywhere on the ground. The national army thought that these traces must have been left by the people of Picheng when they fled.

"The track marks on the ground are so messy, and the horse manure looks pretty fresh. It seems that these Pi people won't go too far!"

So the national army drove three thousand elite soldiers and followed the direction of the tracks and chased towards Qingcheng Mountain west of Picheng.

......

Du Jiang led the army into the city for temporary garrison. As soon as the soldiers entered the city, they broke into the houses in private and searched for a lot of rice, grain, wine and food from the houses. For some reason, although the looted houses were empty, there were many clay and wine jars left. It seemed as if they were deliberately left for them, but the soldiers naturally couldn't care about that much. They picked up the wine jar and wine jar and ran out.

That night, Du Jiang rewarded the soldiers for their hard work, so he rewarded the three armies in Picheng. He took out the plundered wine and food without hesitation. The soldiers of the Shu army all ate and drank, and were drunk. Then he found idle houses in various places in the city and arranged these soldiers to live in courtyards. Although people were arranged to patrol everywhere on the street, most of them were drunk and tranced because they were drunk. So most of them actually hid in the corner and snored secretly.

Besides, the national teacher, who was dressed in a very strange manner, led three thousand elite soldiers to chase the carriages. Out of caution, the national teacher also carefully observed the road along the way. Along the way, he keenly realized that the pits left by the princess and her party used to bury pots and make rice were becoming less and less. He also saw that there were more and more bowls and stoves discarded by them along the way, so he became more and more confident:

"These thieves seem to be at the end of their journey. Judging from the abandoned Bozhao here, they must have only two or three left in ten."

So he stood up and inspired the soldiers and shouted:

"Hurry! These thieves knew that our Shu army was powerful and were already scared. Those who wanted to make more military achievements would hurry up and hurry up! Today, they would definitely catch up with the princess and her party overnight and catch them off guard. When the task was completed, I will report to the king and all of you to be promoted!"

After hearing what the national master said, the soldiers in Shu became even more excited and rushed to the foot of Qingcheng Mountain with murderous aura. That night, the national master's team drove into a mountain path. I saw bamboo forests on the hillsides on both sides of the path. When the soldiers saw this scene, they couldn't help but slow down and began to worry.

Just as the Shu soldiers were hesitating, they heard someone shouting on the hillsides on both sides:

"put!"

Suddenly, several fire tornados were sprayed out from the hillsides on both sides of the path! The bamboo forest sprayed by the fire tornados instantly turned into a sea of ​​fire.

"What is this! How can these flames be sprayed out? How... how... how is this possible!"

The national savage was really frightened by the sudden fire dragon. At this time, another fire dragon shot from all directions. The Shu soldiers who were ejected by the fire tornado were even screaming and fleeing. The horses originally tied to the chariot were also frightened, tied with reins, pulled the chariot and ran around, were crushed to death by the chariot, and countless people were injured by the fire.

In desperation, the soldiers who still had the strength were about to find a way to break out on the hillside. At this moment, fires suddenly appeared from the hillside, and bundles of fireballs rolled down from the hillside. The Shu soldiers instinctively wanted to use their long spear to block the fireball. But suddenly found that the vines on the fireball were covered with a kind of oily liquid, and when they splashed on their bodies, they would instantly catch fire all over their bodies.

I saw hundreds of crossbowmen who were originally hidden on the hillside suddenly appeared, and there were waves of arrows shooting from the hillsides on both sides, and the rolling wood and rocks also rolled down the hillside. The Shu soldiers were not careful for a moment, and countless casualties were killed or injured.

Seeing that something was wrong, the national master knew that he had been tricked! He also tried to shout that everyone should not panic and suppress his position. But at this time, the Shu soldiers were already in chaos. The national master had no choice but to flee back under the cover of hundreds of remaining guards around him. However, without expecting that after taking a few steps, he heard another group of people coming to face not far ahead. The leader was none other than Princess Nishiori's personal bodyguard Zijuan, and her white cavalry elite.

"Demon! Where can I escape? General Zijuan has been waiting here for a long time!"

As Zi Juan said, she raised her white horse Qiang cavalry on both sides and rushed into the formation to fight with the remaining Shu soldiers. At this time, the Shu soldiers were not the opponent of Zi Juan's white horse Qiang cavalry. She killed the remaining Shu soldiers in a big defeat and lost, and fled in all directions. Zi Juan ordered people to surround the national teacher and others. Seeing that the situation was over, the Shu soldiers who remained in the formation had to surrender one after another.

When the war was about to end, it was dawn. At this time, Wu Weiyi and everyone took everyone to tie the captured Shu people to a place in the camp. After everyone searched the captives, they did not see Du Jiang. Everyone shouted that it was a pity. But the strange dress of the national master made Wu Weiyi a little suspicious. So he led the national master out alone and asked him loudly:

"Who are you! Why do you wear such a weird mask?"

The national master sneered and replied:

"Just! You ignorant straw dogs deserve to know my identity?"

Wu Weiyi walked up and took off the bronze mask of the national teacher. He saw that this man not only dressed strangely, but also had a very distinctive face. He had clear edges and straight noses, and he looked like he was not a Middle-earth man.

Wu Weiyi thought that since this person was respected as the national teacher, he must be an extremely important person who served Du Jiang. Perhaps he would have some connection with the Zoroastrian Vulcan Sect?

So he turned around and said to Princess Du Yu:

"Princess, since this demon is Du Jiang's confidant, I think there must be some secret matters that are unspeakable. Why don't you hand this person over to me? Wu will definitely find out the details of this matter."

Du Yu nodded and said softly:

"If Mr. Wu had not been in charge of command and planning this time, how could he have achieved great victory today! Sooner or later, we will be captured by this thief. Now we have to trouble Mr. Wu to interrogate him on his behalf. My daughter is really sorry... However, since Mr. Wu intends to punish this person, then I will leave it to Mr. Wu for his disposal."

Wu Weiyi bowed to the princess with his fists, then turned around and walked towards the national master. He sent someone to tie the national master up with his backhand and led it into a bamboo forest that had been burned to ashes. Wu Weiyi threw him to the ground, leaned down and asked sternly in his ear:

"Speak quickly! What exactly are you from? Is the Zoroastrian God Cult related to you? What are your plans? Tell me!"
Chapter completed!
