Chapter 676 It’s better to come sooner than to come sooner
Outside Blackstone City, traces of centaur mercenaries suddenly appeared!
This news reached Yan Sheng’s ears almost as quickly as possible, causing his expression to change instantly.
At this moment, Yan Sheng's face looked uglier than if he had eaten a fly!
【What's going on? The centaur mercenary on the opposite side appeared here at this time by coincidence? ! Could it be that there are spies in Blackstone City? ! 】
This thought quickly flashed through Yan Sheng's mind, but when he calmed down and thought about it later, he found it impossible.
He had just received the letter from Fei Ge and made the decision to send troops. He hadn't even issued the order yet. How could the other party know?
And this is indeed the case. Zhou Xu and the others did not know anything about Yan Sheng's domestic situation. He just estimated the time and made a rough arrangement.
At this point I can only say, ‘It’s better to come early than to come by chance’!
Now that centaur mercenaries appear outside Blackstone City, they have a great impact on Yan Sheng.
He received the flying pigeon message from Long Potian and was now preparing to send troops to Xishan City to quell the rebellion.
Now that the centaur mercenaries appear like this, how can he dare to act rashly?
Facing the high wall of the city, the Centaur mercenaries themselves did not have much ability to siege the city, but the appearance of the other party was a signal to him.
That is the large force on the opposite side, which is very likely to attack the city!
The centaur mercenaries just relied on their stronger mobility to arrive first as the vanguard.
Some time has passed since the initial defeat, and he doesn't know what the situation is like on the other side now, or whether there will be additional troops in the future.
If he sends troops to support Long Potian at this time, it will cause the garrison strength in Black Rock City to decrease. When the large forces from the opposite side arrive, if Black Rock City falls, the situation will be too bad.
Don't forget, the Xishan City behind has been occupied by a guy who calls himself Liu De, and has declared independence and restored the country's title of Jingguo.
Under this premise, if Blackstone City falls again, they will have to make a large circle from the periphery of the territory and rush to the border city on the other side to settle down.
What is even more terrifying is that there are centaur mercenaries on the opposite side. During this movement, they will most likely be attacked by cavalry.
Just thinking about it, Yan Sheng's entire face was as black as the bottom of a pot.
Of course, he can also bet that the other side just sent a group of centaur mercenaries to put pressure on him, and his own large force has no intention of launching an offensive.
But does he dare to bet?
He cannot afford the price of losing this bet!
To be honest, the centaur mercenaries from the opposite side are now wandering around Black Rock City. If there is a large group of troops mobilized here in Black Rock City, they will not be able to escape the eyes of the opposite side.
When the time comes, once the centaur mercenaries confirm that a large group of soldiers have left Blackstone City, they will definitely send a message back immediately.
I think once they enter this situation, even if the large force on the opposite side doesn't intend to move in the first place, they won't mind making a move after that.
Invisibly, he was grabbed by the throat and unable to move!
In Yan Sheng's view, the situation that was already terrible, but now because of the opponent's single-handed operation, he was surprised to find that it could be even worse!
“Go and get that castrated guy!!”
After venting his anger, Yan Sheng quickly ordered to convene the city's subordinates for discussion.
This time, in Yan Sheng's view, the situation was obviously quite serious. Even Xie Liancheng, who had not been called to discuss matters in the past, was called over this time.
However, Xie Liancheng was not very formal at the meeting. He maintained his awkward state, crossed his legs, and slumped there in a daze.
The meeting hadn't even started yet, and he was already there waiting for it to end. The muscles in the corners of Yan Sheng's eyes twitched as he watched.
Fortunately, Yan Sheng knew in his heart that arguing with this fool would only cause trouble for himself.
The purpose of Yan Sheng's meeting this time is also very simple, just to discuss one issue, how to break the situation!
The subordinates in the hall were discussing and discussing, but could not come up with a result. It's not that they are all a bunch of losers, but because the current situation is really too bad.
To a certain extent, it is not an exaggeration to say that he was forced into a desperate situation.
What is a desperate situation? It is a desperate situation when you are cornered and have no other options.
If they could figure out a way, it wouldn't be a desperate situation.
But looking at the gloomy look on their Majesty's face at this moment, if they don't come up with a countermeasure today, their life will probably be difficult.
Thinking of this, after exchanging glances with each other, a group of subordinates cautiously came up with an idea...
"Your Majesty, why not send a cavalry first to contain the insurgents outside the city? Centaur mercenaries, we will look at the situation later and deal with it step by step."
While making this proposal, the eyes of all the subordinates fell on Xie Liancheng, who was looking away.
There is no need to say more. After all, they are not fools. They still have some idea of the strength of their domestic cavalry.
Facing the centaur mercenaries, sending out their little cavalry is not much different from sending them to death.
But if the general Jie Liancheng is allowed to lead the troops, in such a small-scale battle, with the bravery of one person, he may not be able to turn the tide!
Slumped on the chair, Xie Liancheng blinked twice quickly when he was suddenly CUE.
【Good guy, I was just thinking about how to find a chance to leave the city, and this opportunity just came to my door? 】
However, he is not stupid. He knows that Yan Sheng is suspicious by nature and is suspicious of himself. At this time, he must not reveal any flaws and let the other party see the clues.
While Xie Liancheng maintained his careless look and thought about what to do, Yan Sheng's eyes fell on him.
How could Yan Sheng not know about this situation?
"What did the general say?"
"Huh?"
"..."
Jie Liancheng's "Ah" sound was Chunchun's response, but when it fell into the ears of Yan Sheng and the others, it had a completely different meaning.
[Good guy, Jie Liancheng is not listening to us at all! 】
Including Yan Sheng, this thought flashed through the minds of everyone present at the same time.
Facing the black thread hanging from his head, Yan Sheng patiently told the matter again.
After hearing this, Xie Liancheng agreed directly without thinking.
"Okay! I've been very bored recently, so I just wanted to find them to stretch my muscles!"
Between words, Xie Liancheng didn't take the Centaur mercenaries seriously at all.
But this arrogance inexplicably made Yan Sheng and the others feel at ease at this moment.
Xie Liancheng is a bastard. He is usually a bit of a jerk, but aside from his temper, his strength is still very reliable!
Update is here, thanks to book friend ‘Deep Blue Miying’ for the reward!
