Fairy, Please Let Me Explain

Chapter 144 Breakthrough

Perhaps it was the resolute action from the soldiers. The moment Xu Yuan finished speaking, Captain Wang yelled outside the house:

"Come on!"

"Squeak—"

The old-fashioned wooden door was pushed open almost instantly, and the adjutant who was standing outside came to the front of the hall and knelt down, cupped his fists and said:

"General Wang, what are your orders?"

Lieutenant Wang got up, while briefly arranging the work:

"Immediately take someone to the City Defense Department to check the operation of the formations in the city, and inform He Xinchuan that the Second Battalion is ready to go out of the city to meet Li Shengwu at any time."

"."

The adjutant's eyes were a little stunned. Although he didn't know the reason for the period, he clasped his fists and accepted the order:

"yes!"

"Go down."

After the words fell, the adjutant didn't stop at all, and directly used the military skills, and galloped outside.

When Xiaowei Wang walked to the door, he stopped, and looked back at Xu Yuan in the room:

"Young Master Zhou, Wang is temporarily absent."

"Lieutenant Wang, please go ahead. My senior sister and I will go back to the inn first. If something really happens to the city defense formation, Captain Wang can send someone to inform me."

The night gradually deepened.

Two hours later.

Led by the general whom he had met before, Xu Yuan climbed the city wall of Shengshan County.

Compared with the 20-foot-high city wall of Jingjiang Prefecture, the city wall of Shengshan County can only be regarded as a small bumpkin.

Thirty feet by four feet, the aftermath of the previous battle remained on the hard bluestone, with pits and pits dug, and even some exposed patterns could be seen.

Following the general without saying a word, Xu Yuan could see that the burly middle-aged man's face was so gloomy that he could get out of the water.

Looks like something must have happened.

Shrouded by the phantom fog formation, there was no moonlight in the sky, and there was only the flickering light of the bonfire on the city wall.

After silently walking for a certain distance, Xu Yuan saw a few generals in military uniforms at the end of the city wall, and Xiaowei Wang was among them.

Several generals standing on the city wall saw Xu Yuan approaching, sized him up with their eyes, and then left in silence. Only Captain Wang greeted him head-on.

After standing still, Captain Wang is still straight to the point:

"Mr. Zhou, Wang will confirm with you again. Do you really have no direct evidence to prove that the Wanxiang sect wants to massacre the city?"

When Xu Yuan heard this, he shook his head lightly:

"It is impossible for the Wanxiang Sect to leave direct evidence for this kind of thing. You should not understand, Captain Wang."

Captain Wang was quiet for a moment, then heaved a long sigh:

"Indeed."

Xu Yuan looked out of the city sideways.

Standing on this side of the city wall, one can clearly see the Shengshan frontier army forming an army formation outside the city, slaughtering the monsters drawn from the phantom fog formation:

"Lieutenant Wang, how is the situation now?"

Captain Wang pondered for a moment, and also looked at the army formation over there:

"The number of monsters in the phantom fog formation has more than doubled compared to previous years."

"No, I mean the communication wafer."

Xu Yuan asked the question he was most concerned about.

If the communication wafer can still function, then he can shake people over.

Regarding his question, Captain Wang remained silent.

Seeing this, Xu Yuan sighed.

Judging from the other party's reaction, the communication wafer probably failed.

In other words, today's Shengshan County has completely cut off all contact with the outside world and has become an out-and-out isolated city.

However, Xu Yuan felt that if it was just the failure of the communication wafer, Captain Wang would not show such a look:

"There is also a problem with the city defense array?"

"Yes."

Captain Wang's voice was low, looking at the patterns on the city wall, he sighed helplessly:

"The aura pool of the guarding formation has been tampered with, and now the entire formation is only 20% charged."

"Where is the phantom fog formation?"

"There is a problem with the control pattern of the formation, and now we can't control the big formation."

"."

Xu Yuan frowned, pondered a little, and asked in a low voice:

"When Xu Xinyao was engraving the formation, wasn't the Shengshan frontier army the first choice to control the formation?"

Although the materials for building the formation were provided by the Wanxiang Sect, in matters such as the lives of the people in a city, the fourth sister should not be so stupid as to hand over such a principled issue to the Zongmen.

Captain Wang was silent for a moment, then said:

"According to the formation drawing given by Ms. Xu, our frontier army in Shengshan County is indeed the number one in controlling the formation."

"So the blueprint has been changed secretly?" Xu Yuan squinted his eyes: "Xu Xinyao should not make such a low-level mistake."

"boom!"

Captain Wang slammed his fist on the battlement, clenched his fist tightly:

"They should have done something after Miss Xu left!"

"After leaving?" Xu Yuan raised his eyebrows.

Wang Xiaowei's tone was a little helpless:

"Miss Xu's third brother had an accident, and Ms. Xu had to leave before the phantom mist formation was completed. It was probably during the period when the construction was finally completed that the formation masters of the Wanxiang sect secretly changed the formation diagram left by Miss Xu. .”

"."

Xu Yuan sighed:

"Even if she doesn't leave, the result will be the same. As long as the Wanxiang Sect doesn't give up the plan to create ghost fog, it's just the difference between earlier and later."

After speaking, Xu Yuan changed the subject and asked straightforwardly:

"So, Captain Wang, what are you looking for me for now?"

"."

Be quiet for a moment,

Captain Wang rubbed his hands together, his loud voice became hesitant:

"May I ask Mr. Zhou, you and your senior sister, can you help me in Shengshan County? We will pay you."

Xu Yuan was not surprised by Wang Xiaowei's request.

Now there is no help in the isolated city, and there is a third-rank grand master to help Luezhen. Under the current situation, it is tantamount to sending carbon in the snow.

But Xu Yuan didn't rush to agree, looking at the bloody Shengshan border troops outside the city, he said in a low voice:

"Lieutenant Wang, are you planning to defend the city?"

"."

This question seemed to stop Xiaowei Wang. He looked at him and said with a little hesitation:

"The mouth of the phantom fog array is getting bigger and bigger. Now, thousands of monsters will flow out every hour. According to this speed, tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, more than three thousand monsters will be diverted from it every hour. , the army array can’t kill them, so they can only rely on the city wall array to defend.”

Xu Yuan shook his head lightly and asked:

"Captain Wang, do you think you can hold on?

"Or, do you think the Wanxiang Sect will let you guard Shengshan County?"

"." Captain Wang was silent.

Xu Yuan sighed and said in a low voice:

"Lieutenant Wang, do you know what the only advantage the Shengshan Frontier Army has over the Wanxiang Sect is now?"

"."

After a moment of silence, Captain Wang probed:

"City defense formation?"

"of course not."

"what is that?"

"Poor information."

Xu Yuan looked at Captain Wang, and paused every word:

"The Wanxiang Sect doesn't know that you already know about their plan to create ghost fog in Shengshan County."

talking,

Xu Yuan looked at the puzzlement in the eyes of the burly middle-aged man in front of him, smiled and said:

"Lieutenant Wang, the information gap is very important."

"If the Wanxiang Sect knew about this, they would never boil the frogs in warm water as they do now. Instead, they would put all the monster beasts in the phantom mist formation in one go."

Xu Yuan raised his finger and pointed to the army formation outside the city:

"Just imagine, tens of thousands of monsters trapped in the phantom fog burst out of the fog at once. Can you, the Wansheng Mountain frontier army, hold it?"

Captain Wang clenched his fists slightly, looked at the young man in front of him, took a deep breath, and said:

"You mean, we have to break out?"

Xu Yuan didn't speak, but it was basically the same as acquiescing.

It is inevitable that you can't keep it.

Whether you do mental calculations or not, you have no idea how many backhands the Wanxiang sect has left behind.

The monsters in the first round may be just one of them.

It is possible to blow up the city wall, cause civil strife, and high-level cultivators sneak into the city to create chaos.

But breaking through means giving up the 400,000 people and refugees inside and outside Shengshan Mountain.

Silence spreads gradually in the cold wind on the city wall

Order today, make up tomorrow
