The Era of Generals

Chapter 863 Hope

"How long has this been the case?"

He Ji frowned and asked.

The scout hurriedly said: "It's been a while, almost half an hour."

"It wasn't obvious at the beginning, but they were obviously mobilizing their troops, otherwise there wouldn't be fewer and fewer people."

He Ji nodded, agreeing with his subordinate's analysis.

So the question now is, why are they mobilizing troops at this time?

Frowning and thinking, He Ji's eyes fell on the gate of Tianhong City.

Could it be that they want to take advantage of this opportunity...

He Ji's face froze, this is not impossible!

Naturally, he knew exactly what life the elite Xuanjia lived in Mohe Province.

Now that General Huang is not there, and someone from the Qingyang Empire has entered Tianhong City, Bao Buqi is now in addition to the Qingyang army that is clearly outside, there are other troops in charge of supporting him.

Then it is very possible that they chose to take advantage of this opportunity to escape.

Coupled with Feng Lei's inexplicable going out of the city to report, He Ji is absolutely convinced at this moment that the Xuanjia elites are probably thinking of such an idea!

"Quick, follow me!"

Thinking of this, He Ji became nervous.

He was quite quick-witted, he was shocked but not flustered, he greeted his subordinates, but paused again, and said urgently: "Forget it, just stay here and watch, and report to me immediately if there is any situation!"

It was only a cat's waist, and it disappeared in place extremely quickly.

Not long after, a loud arrow suddenly shot straight into the sky from outside the cave where He Ji was hiding.

"This is……"

The scout who stayed behind saw it and was shocked.

He is very clear about the meaning of this loud arrow, but it is calling all the scout troops scattered outside Tianhong City!

A collection of loud arrows?

At this moment, he was not the only one who was surprised, but all the scouts who heard the loud arrow take off.

What surprised them even more was that the lingering sound of the first sounding arrow was still there, and immediately after that, the second sounding arrow shot into the sky.

This loud arrow... has nothing to do with most of them.

The function of this loud arrow was to tell the scouting team who stayed on the periphery to hurry back and report to Huang Ren that there seemed to be drastic changes in Tianhong City.

What happened to Tianhong City?

This was a question that many scouts had in their minds, and at this moment, just as He Ji hoped, they rushed out of their hiding place and quickly gathered at He Ji's location.

As for He Ji...

He was looking up at the sky at the moment, and his ugly face showed his worry at the moment.

Fortunately, his waiting was quickly answered.

Not long after the second sounding arrow was lifted into the sky, there were also sounding arrows rising in two directions away from Tianhong City, echoing the sounding arrows he fired.

He Ji breathed a sigh of relief.

The secret whistle on the periphery is still there, which means that the Qingyang Empire should not have rushed to the vicinity, so they still have a chance!

After getting a response, he quickly greeted the other people in the cave and hurried to the assembly point.

at the same time.

"Grand...Master, we have already followed your order, and...please keep your promise!"

The person lying on the ground and trembling was the scout whom He Disciplinary Committee highly regarded.

Beside him, Meng Yang stared at him coldly, and said angrily: "Stop talking nonsense, I always count what I say, I don't need you to remind me!"

He Ji never expected that he thought his reaction was quick, but it was still a step too late. The scouts on the periphery had already been cleared away by Meng Yang and Guo Zi's team.

During this process, Chen Ze also saved a hand, telling Meng Yang and others to keep one or two alive for later use.

The result really did not exceed Chen Ze's expectations. These scouting teams had a special way of sending messages.

The loud arrow shot by He Ji spread to the outer secret sentry. Meng Yang and Guo Zi respectively asked about the enemy scouts they had captured, and then summarized the information they got to Chen Ze.

The scouts on both sides gave very consistent answers to the sound of the arrow, so this can also prove that what they said is the truth.

Then Chen Zecai asked Meng Yang and Guo Ziyan to shoot the same arrow to show that he had received it, and would follow He Ji's instructions to quickly go back to contact General Huang Renhuang.

Besides, on He Ji's side, the order for everyone to gather has been issued, and he is also frantically running towards the meeting place.

At this moment, he couldn't care about anything else.

After all, the gate of Tianhong City has not been opened yet, and the Xuanjia elites have not rushed out of the gate. If they gather now, it seems to be a little earlier in time.

But He Ji couldn't care less.

If he waited until the other side's city gates were wide open before he issued the assembly order, it would obviously be too late.

As far as the two sides are confronting each other head-on, the troops on hand are more than a notch inferior to the opponent's in terms of combat power, let alone wait until the opponent has left the city before he hastily assembled troops.

That would be even more useless.

The harm between the two powers is the lesser, at this moment, he would rather have a few people run out of Tianhong City, than let the Xuanjia's elite troops go out of the city in a big way.

Now he can only prevent one side, but on this side, he has to fight with his life!

I just hope that General Huang will come sooner!

While running fast, He Ji sighed in his heart.

The Xuanjia elites who thought they would never leave Tianhong City were far beyond their expectations, and now there is nothing they can think of except a desperate fight.

Fighting is impossible, and it can only be delayed. Now it is time to see whether General Huang's troops will arrive first, or they, the scouts who stayed behind, will be killed first.

I hope...it's the former.

He Ji sighed inwardly. Compared with this, he actually hoped that his judgment was wrong or that he had fallen into Yan Xukai's tricks.

The abnormality at the top of Tianhong City, I hope he just thought too much, or Yan Xukai was sneaking through Chen Cang, trying to take advantage of the gathering of scouts on his side to send people out secretly.

However, this time He Ji failed to do so.

Just as he assembled a large number of scouts, the gate of Tianhong City, which had been closed for a long time, was suddenly opened from the inside.

So, what He Ji saw was a well-organized army setting out from the gate of the city.

Are you really ready to leave like this?

Angry in his heart, He Ji didn't dare to neglect, and hastily arranged for his subordinates to run towards Tianhong City Gate.

Now he had to stop the opponent's army before they could get out of the city gate.

Otherwise, once He Wei sets up his battle in the vast terrain outside the city, he will have no chance!

Getting closer, He Ji could even see that He Wei, who was neatly dressed, was walking in the front with a serious face at the moment, and his sharp eyes swept left and right, and finally fell on himself.

"General Li, where are you going?"

He Ji opened his mouth and drank loudly.

In Fengqi Province, He Wei's pseudonym is Li Gui, He Ji is called General Li, and he hopes that the other party will not forget his identity!
