After resuming some of the mobile forces, Shang Ji was a little helpless. Putting Wu Qi and them in that royal city, Shang Ji felt a sense of fear every day, and if he didn't get rid of this threat, he wouldn't even be able to sleep well.

However, Shang Ji also knew that with his own strength, he might not be able to help the Heavenly Soldier Group, so Shang Ji contacted Yan Huang again and proposed to form a joint army to attack the mysterious royal city.

Yan Huang immediately responded and readily agreed to Shang Ji's invitation.

However, just when Shang Ji and Yan Huang Blade were discussing specific matters, a jaw-dropping scene happened-the army and civilians in the mysterious king city all disappeared, and there was no one in the city at present, and the city was like a ghost town!

Since the last decisive battle, although the main force suffered heavy losses, the pursuit was not continued. But the surveillance of the mysterious royal city has not relaxed in the slightest.

Both Yan Huang and Shang Ji sent a large number of elite backbone elites to reconnoiter and spy out, on the one hand, to prevent the enemy from suddenly killing the horse pistol, and on the other hand, to test Wu Qi's existing forces.

It's just that as before, it is difficult for the scouts and scouts sent to get close to the royal city, and even if they are lucky enough to get in, they can't detect any high-value information. Although it has been doing useless work, the Chinese side has never given up its efforts, and the confrontation between the two armies on the intelligence front has never stopped.

According to the scout's report, just this morning, according to the previous plan, Thousand Illusions planned to continue to send elite backbones to secretly infiltrate the Mysterious King City. The scout team is cautious all the way, for fear of being discovered by enemy spies.

It was only very soon that they found that their caution was completely useless. The scout team made it all the way to the Mysterious King's City without encountering any obstacles.

After entering the city, the scene made their eyes even more shocked—the soldiers guarding the city and the residents of the city had all disappeared, and a royal city in Nuoda was empty!

The little leader of the Thousand Illusions who led the team immediately realized that something was wrong, and while informing Shang Ji as quickly as possible, he sent personnel to conduct further reconnaissance and exploration of the royal city.

Almost at the same time as Shang Ji, Yan Huang Sharp Blade also received similar news, and the atmosphere between the two instantly became a little awkward.

According to the original plan, the two armies joined forces, cobbled together five or six million troops, and spent a month or two to break through the mysterious royal city. After the breach, the two armies were stationed together, and the main buildings in the city were allocated according to their contributions during the breach.

It was originally planned well, but this sudden news disrupted the implementation arrangement.

An empty royal city, which means that whoever can lead the first to storm into the city will have priority in gaining control.

This temptation was too great, and Shang Ji and Yan Huang Sharp Blade couldn't sit still.

But fortunately, both of them are characters who have seen strong winds and waves, and they have not acted rashly for the time being.

After being silent for a while, Yan Huang Sharp Blade spoke: "General Shang, regarding this matter, I think it is better to be cautious. Why don't we send an elite army to go deep into the city and investigate carefully, so as to beware of any conspiracy and tricks of the enemy! ”

"General Wang's view is to seek the country, and he will think it is feasible. Why don't you and I each send 50,000 horses to form an advance force of 100,000 people to temporarily control the royal city, what does the general think? ”

"Yes, just do it according to the general's wishes!"

Yan Huang Blade hesitated slightly, and then decisively agreed.

In fact, both of them knew very well that this royal city could not be swallowed by one party alone, and it was best to occupy it together and share the results.

And there is another layer of concern at present, why did the Heavenly Soldier Group suddenly disappear? Will there be fraud in it? Is it an empty city plan or a suspicious military plan?

Before figuring out the inside story, no one dared to easily lead the main army into the royal city.

What if it's a trap?

Because of this incident, all the deployments were disrupted, and the troops that had been assembled for the expedition were again disbanded and returned to the camp, and a large number of supplies that were supposed to be transported to the front were left in place to await further orders.

The two armies that were urgently selected set out on the march after a thousand instructions. The Pingzhou side was led by Huang Zhong himself, while the Yanhuang side led the team by Yanhuang No. 6.

Huang Zhong is cautious by nature, perceptive, and has strong personal combat effectiveness, even if there is really any conspiracy, he can get out of the way.

After Huang Zhong and his army left, Shang Ji was not idle, on the one hand, he pacified the increasingly unstable rear as soon as possible, and on the other hand, he kept an eye on the front line, always paying attention to Huang Zhong's movements.

The distance between Wangcheng and Luofeng Pass, where Shang Ji was located, was not particularly far, and with the speed of Huang Zhong's department, it only took five days to arrive.

After arriving at the periphery of the royal city, Huang Zhong did not rush into the process, but first summoned the leader of the Thousand Illusions who first discovered the abnormality of the royal city.

"General, according to our reconnaissance in the past few days, the inside of the royal city is indeed empty. Even the most core city lord's mansion has been reconnoitred, and there is not a single soldier guarding it. There were no signs of large-scale battles in the city, as if all the soldiers and civilians in it had disappeared in a few moments. ”

"What is the condition of important buildings such as the city lord's mansion, barracks, treasury, and workshop?"

"The buildings are intact, but according to our investigations, the treasury is empty, and there are no reserves of supplies."

"Have you ever found a trap or something?"

"It has not been discovered, but the subordinates are seriously understaffed, and more than 99% of the area in the city has not been investigated, and there is no guarantee that there are no traps in other areas."

"Okay, I know, you go down and rest first!"

"Subordinates retire!"

After the interrogation, Huang Zhong turned to look at Yan Huang No. 6, who had been silent, and asked with a slight fist: "Dare to ask this general, what are your plans?" ”

"First send 10,000 soldiers into the city, carry out a detailed investigation of the whole city in all directions, and then make further plans according to the results of the investigation."

"10,000 soldiers, you and I will each give 5,000?"

"Yes!"

"Cross-probing, keep informed. Starting from the outer city, no one is allowed to enter the inner city, especially the area of the City Lord's Mansion, without the mutual permission of both parties! ”

"Agreed!"

Neither of them is a grinding character, and the conditions have been negotiated in a few words. After that, the two armies each sent 5,000 soldiers into the city lightly and launched a carpet reconnaissance of the mysterious royal city.

With the passage of time, Huang Zhong and Yan Huang No. 6 successively sent additional manpower to reconnoitre, and did not stop increasing troops until the number of troops entering the city exceeded 80,000.

The results fed back by the reconnaissance force were the same, and there was no abnormality.

Seven days later, the 80,000 troops had turned the royal city almost upside down, and finally did not find the expected trap.

"General Huang, now there is the City Lord's Mansion left."

Yan Huang No. 6 took a deep breath and said to Huang Zhong with a solemn face.

"Then let's go into the city!"
