When the southern city was tight, there was no fighting on the eastern front.

Apart from the howling cold wind, the only sound left was the "click" sound of groups of soldiers patrolling the snow.

The distance between the gate tower of the east city and the south city is quite far, and the battle situation there can't be seen clearly, there can only be some gunpowder smoke and faint shouts and roars.

But even if they only heard these sounds, it was enough for the Habayashi guards and frontier soldiers in the east city to imagine the battle in the south city.

Some are afraid, some are grateful, and some are eager to try.

Standing on the top of the city gate, Xu Yuan looked at the expressions of the soldiers below with different expressions, and sighed slightly:

"Lieutenant Cang, do you think Qingyan's plan can be accomplished?"

"."

After the words fell, Lieutenant Cang, who was downcast, seemed not to have heard Xu Yuan's question.

Ever since he knew His Highness Wu Yuan's intentions, he has been thinking about some things.

Seeing this, Xu Yuan didn't urge him, knowing that the other party was probably thinking about the military situation.

After a while,

Lieutenant General Cang glanced at the smoke in front of him, and then at the somewhat flimsy protective formation on the dome.

The defense formation of Beifeng City is a large formation composed of small formations interlocking with each other. The collapse of the formation in the south of the city did not affect the operation of the formation here, but the overloaded operation of the formation pattern on the other side caused the rest of the formation. Part of the source energy has been withdrawn.

In other words,

Before Yun Qi is supplemented, the protection that this large city protection array can provide can basically be said to be zero.

At this point in his thoughts, Lieutenant Cang sighed:

"That barbarian king is not a fuel-efficient lamp. The battle situation is changing rapidly. I don't know if Cang will succeed, but at least there will be a princess in the south of the city."

Hearing this, Xu Yuan glanced at the Nancheng where the gunpowder was everywhere.

With the blessing of the Blood Origin Heart Falling Art, he could see the flesh and blood that had been frozen into ice cubes all over the inner city over there.

In the ancient wars of the previous life, basically 10 to 20 percent of the soldiers would be defeated, and if they insisted that 30 percent of the soldiers would not be defeated, they would be the elite. I don't know how the battle situation in this extraordinary world is.

Withdrawing his gaze, Xu Yuan said softly:

"As long as there is no defeat, then going out this trip will be considered a gain."

Lieutenant General Cang smiled lightly and said:

"Master Xu, I don't know if you have captured Cang, but I suggest you go back to the government office first."

"Go back to the government office?"

Xu Yuan raised his eyebrows, and subconsciously glanced at the thick smoke that obscured the sun: "Lieutenant Cang, what did you find?"

Lieutenant General Cang also looked at the smoke-screen sky outside the city:

"Mr. Xu, the war has progressed so far. Those barbarian tribal chiefs with brains and muscles have either died, or have become vassals of other large tribes under the leadership of that barbarian king."

After a moment of silence, Xu Yuan's reaction was quick:

"You mean that after learning that Li Qingyan raided the flank of the barbarian king's central army, they would not choose to send troops to help, but would directly attack the city from the east and west sides?"

"Yes, the chiefs of the few remaining tribes of the barbarians are well aware of the combat power of our elite fighters. Even if they urgently send reinforcements, the princess can directly transfer the troops from the southern city and return to the inner city."

Lieutenant General Cang seemed to know these barbarian old opponents very well, his eyes were solemn:

"They are all old foxes who have gone through thousands of battles. They have a keen sense of the changes in the battle situation. The princess dared to lead an army to attack the barbarian king's camp, which means that she brought nine out of ten of our Beifeng City's elite. The city is naturally empty. The biggest choice is to trust the barbarian alien king and directly lead his troops to attack the city."

"."

Listening to Lieutenant General Cang's analysis, Xu Yuan subconsciously glanced at the Habayashi Army who were waiting in formation below.

Yes, Li Qingyan is ready.

He used to think that the bosom-wrapped fiancée stayed in this battalion of Habayashi guards to support her, but now he saw that she was not planning to come back from the east gate at all.

However, are all the people who play tactics so deep?

I don't know if he can hold down this breast-wrapped woman in the future.

Well, I miss the second day of Big Bing Tuozi.

Seeing Xu Yuan's silence, Vice General Cang cupped his hands after finishing speaking:

"Young master Xu, Dongcheng will probably go to war soon, so I'm offended."

After all,

Without giving Xu Yuan time to react, he directly shouted in a low voice:

"Qu Li, Zhang Hong, you two escort Mr. Xu back to the government office!"

"."

Xu Yuan glanced at Lieutenant Cang in surprise.

Under the premise that the barbarians will attack the city, he knows that the other party will not let him stay on the gate tower. The fifth-rank cultivation base is indeed quite high among these elites of the six or seven-rank habayashi, but among the chaos army , a stray arrow fired from a machine or a siege by a barbarian squad can kill him.

But he didn't expect that the other party would take the initiative to help him pave the steps.

This lieutenant has a future.

Glancing at the two lieutenant guards who trotted over, Xu Yuan grinned and said:

"Lieutenant Cang, you understand me quite well."

Lieutenant Cang's expression didn't change:

"If you make a mistake, Cang can't do business for the princess, and the princess can't do business for Lord Xiangguo, please."

Xu Yuan pondered for a while, but still shook his head.

Lieutenant General Cang frowned.

Xu Yuan smiled and said:

"A gentleman doesn't build a dangerous wall, but isn't the wall still a dangerous wall?"

Lieutenant Cang looked puzzled:

"Master Xu, it doesn't make any sense for you to stay on this city wall."

Of course Xu Yuan knew it was pointless.

If he was on the southern city wall at the moment, it might still be meaningful.

After all, there is the Black Scale Army over there.

After brainwashing in Tian'an Martial Arts Hall and the Black Scale Army, a cult of personality has formed in the hearts of most of the Black Scale Army.

A cult of personality for his old man.

Even if he didn't do anything in the past, as long as he stood on the city wall, it would be equivalent to the prince's personal conquest against the black scale army, which could boost morale.

But in addition to a battalion of Habayashi Army in the East City, there are only 10,000 regular Zongmen frontier troops.

But the problem is, he dare not go back to the government office now.

Li Zhaoyuan is still staying in the government office.

Vice General Cang will not be against him, but this is not necessarily the case for Li Zhaoyuan.

Although Qin Weijiu instigated and Su Meimo carried out the bombing of the Zongmen's warehouse, it has not been determined whether Li Zhaoyuan was involved.

If the other party really cooperates with Qin Weijiu, they must want to get rid of him.

Even if he didn't know that he was the chosen heir of the Xiangguo Mansion, he would still want to get rid of him based on his soaring cultivation over the past year.

The barbarians attacked the city, and the third son of Xiangguo died suddenly, how pleasant it sounds~

after all,

The Xiangguo Mansion without an heir is the best Xiangguo Mansion.

Xu Yuan stared at Lieutenant Cang, and said seriously:

"Lieutenant Cang, not everything in this world needs a meaning. There are many things that I need to experience personally and see with my own eyes. Otherwise, the lives of these soldiers in the future will always be in the file in my cognition. A string of cold numbers."

"."

Lieutenant Cang's eyes changed for a moment, and he looked at Xu Yuan with softer eyes. He didn't say anything, but waved his hands to let the two lieutenants go down personally.

In the cold wind and the shouts of killing coming from the south of the city, time passed by every minute.

suddenly,

A hurricane suddenly blew up, but it wasn't a barbarian, but a slender figure in the prince's jade robe.

It was Li Zhaoyuan.

Seeing the other party, Xu Yuan's face remained unchanged, but his heart sank slightly.

Be quiet for a moment,

Xu Yuan didn't move, but Lieutenant Cang kneeled directly on the ground beside him:

"Second Highness!"

Li Zhaoyuan glanced at him, his voice was neither cold nor cold, with a trace of alienation:

"Vice General Cang, there is no need to be polite when the military situation is urgent."

Lieutenant Cang got up immediately after hearing the words, looked at Li Zhaoyuan's toes and cupped his hands and said:

"Now that the barbarians are about to attack the city, why are you here, Second Highness?"

Li Zhaoyuan's face with sword eyebrows and starry eyes is still serious:

"In the government office, I have already done everything I can do. The military situation is urgent. As a prince, I naturally have to do my part on the front line."

Xu Yuan glanced up and down at the second prince.

Although he had slapped this kid in the face, he actually didn't know the cultivation level of the second prince, after all, his father was walking in front when he slapped the face.

But looking at the other party's unfathomable aura, it should be a third-rank grand master at the last time.

Lieutenant Cang still lowered his head and cupped his hands:

"Your Highness, on the battlefield, you have extraordinary fighting skills, you are a body of ten thousand gold."

"Lieutenant Cang."

Li Zhaoyuan raised his hand to interrupt him, looked at the patrolling soldiers below with complicated eyes, and said in a serious tone:

"This king needs to see with his own eyes these soldiers who died for the Great Yan, otherwise, in the future, they may only be a series of names without warmth in my heart."

"." Xu Yuan almost froze.

"." Hearing these words, Lieutenant Cang, who hung his head down, had a strange expression on his face.

silence for a moment,

Lieutenant General Cang coughed lightly, and arched his saluting hand forward:

"Hey, Second Highness is worried about the soldiers, and Cang will keep it in his heart."

words fall,

Lieutenant General Cang straightened up and looked out of the city without looking sideways.

And at this time,

Li Zhaoyuan turned his eyes to Xu Yuan and asked:

"Third Young Master, don't you go back to the government office to rest?"

Xu Yuan suppressed his smile and said:

"As for me, I want to see what the front line looks like."

Li Zhaoyuan persuaded with concern:

"War is not a child's play. Safety is the most important thing. If the third son is willing, I will immediately arrange for guards to take you back to the mansion."

When Xu Yuan heard this, he immediately "hissed" in his heart.

broken.

This guy, doesn't he really want to play the trick of "the barbarians attack the city, and the three sons of Xiangguo die suddenly"?

Facing the other party's sincere eyes, Xu Yuan shook his head,

"Thank you for your concern, isn't there still Vice-General Cang here?"

After a moment's pause, he turned back and asked:

"However, Second Highness, if you want to remember the importance of the lives of soldiers, why don't you go to Nancheng? You should be needed more there."

The reason why Li Zhaoyuan came here was too weird, it was hard for Xu Yuan not to think about it.

Xu Yuan really knew that the other party wanted to establish prestige in the Dayan army.

But the problem is that if he really wants to establish his prestige, wouldn't it be a better choice for Li Zhaoyuan to go to Nancheng now?

Not only is the military situation in Nancheng more urgently in need of high-level cultivators, but Li Qingyan is also there.

The danger is to be more dangerous, but greater risk means greater reward.

Li Yunqing's sixth son might not dare, but Li Zhaoyuan definitely dared to take the risk.

The expression on Li Zhaoyuan's face couldn't see the slightest clue, and he replied without thinking:

"The emperor's sister and Commander Yuan are already sitting there, so I don't need to go there anymore."

"Ah"

Xu Yuan chuckled noncommittally, and suddenly turned his sideways eyes to Lieutenant General Cang and asked:

"Lieutenant Cang, do you have the habit of controlling the formation by rushing to the front, or sitting in the rear?"

The records of the Xiangguo Mansion's internal reference about the military formation basically require generals to be in charge of the central army. Even if the general who is the eye of the formation is injured, it will affect the maintenance of the military formation, and in case of death, the entire military formation will collapse directly.

But before in Vientiane City, Xu Yuan saw that Yuan Hao's way of fighting was that the general rushed directly to the front.

Lieutenant Cang's voice was flat:

"Cang's practice in the military formation is not as good as that of Her Royal Highness, and he usually sits in the middle army."

Xu Yuan nodded upon hearing the words:

"That's good."

If Lieutenant Cang liked to rush to the front as much as Yuan Hao, then he would really have to shake people and run away.

Although it is not sure whether Li Zhaoyuan wants to do something to him, but this thing cannot be gambled.

Lieutenant General Cang said softly:

"Master Xu, don't worry, as long as the last general is still alive, you will definitely not make any mistakes."

"Thank you."

Xu Yuan smiled easily, and turned to look at Li Zhaoyuan who was beside him:

"Second Highness, is this your first time on the front line?"

"yes."

Li Zhaoyuan looked back, with a faint smile on his lips:

"The third son should be the same, but why does this king feel that you don't seem to be nervous at all?"

Xu Yuan spread his hands, very bachelor:

"I'm used to being idle, and I don't have the habit of being nervous."

After a pause, he stared at him again and smiled:

"Although I'm not nervous, I cherish my life. The Second Highness has to take care of me for a while. So many people see His Highness standing next to me. If it's dangerous, it's unreasonable for you not to help me."

At the end, Xu Yuan slightly accentuated his tone.

"."

Li Zhaoyuan's eyes narrowed slightly.

Xu Yuan looked at him with a smile.

Li Zhaoyuan took the lead to look away, and said in a low voice:

"There should be other Blackscale Guards in the city, right?"

Xu Yuan also looked at the smoke screen blocking his vision, and said with a smile:

"There are indeed, but where they are now, I don't know."

Li Zhaoyuan's voice was calm and soothing:

"Heh, the third son is Xu Gong's most beloved heir, and Xu Gong is the pillar of our Great Yan Kingdom. This king will naturally protect the third son."

Not long after Li Zhaoyuan finished speaking,

The barbarians in the east of the city, who endured the bombing of monsters, finally started their attack on the east city

Since there was no war colossus in the east, the barbarians had their warriors throw countless iron thorn cones at the first moment of attacking the city. These iron thorns were deeply embedded in the city wall, forming a ladder on the surface of the city wall for the barbarian soldiers to borrow.

The smoke released by the sun, at this moment, became the best cover for these barbarians to attack the city.

Numerous barbarian soldiers took advantage of the effect of the fog to attach themselves to the nimble ants.

Although the large defensive array in the sky has been partially visible due to the insufficient supply of source energy, it still continuously provides shelter for the defenders of the Great Yan on the city wall, and all kinds of defensive equipment are directed directly into the mist below. shoot.

From time to time, you can hear the painful wailing from the city.

And in the mist below the city, from time to time, condensed monster totems would be shot out towards the sky in a large formation.

Every impact will make the moat sway for a moment.

After a stalemate over a cup of tea,

The first barbarian jumped onto the top of the wall, but his tall body of Zhang Xu was cut in two by a Yubayashi soldier.

But then came the second barbarian, the tenth barbarian, the hundredth barbarian!

This was the first time Xu Yuan had seen the barbarian ethnic group with his own eyes.

Humanoid, but ferocious and frightening, it has a kind of uncanny valley effect at first glance.

And the Habayashi army, which formed an army formation and stood on the city wall, seemed to have adapted to the opponent's appearance, and the standard ancient ingot long sword was ruthless when wielding it.

How many come up, how many kills.

It was almost a one-sided massacre.

The black blood of the barbarians gradually stained the city wall, steamed up and dissipated in an instant, and quickly turned into solid ice in the bone-chilling temperature.

But very soon, the defensive formation in the sky seemed to have exhausted its source of energy due to the impact of the totems in the mist, and the frequency of releasing attacks gradually slowed down, and the defenders of Dayan finally suffered their first casualties.

And once it started, the casualties couldn't stop.

The barbarians below the city seem to be endless, and if you kill one, you can jump up to two.

Those barbarians who built a bridgehead on the city wall tried to expand the results of the battle, but the crossbow arrows arranged at different heights directly made their flesh and blood fly.

Xu Yuan saw a barbarian leader whose aura was no weaker than his and wanted to shake the crossbow arrows, but his body disappeared in an instant, leaving only a pair of legs standing in place.

I also saw a Habayashi Yajiang being hit by a totem phantom and instantly exploded into blood foam.

The scorching red and black blood was continuously splashed, and then rapidly cooled and frozen under the freezing temperature, and was finally shattered by the intertwined source energy of both sides, turning into ice balls and flying all over the sky.

Standing on the top of the city gate, Xu Yuan silently watched the war that belonged to the extraordinary world below, his breathing changed from calm to rapid, and finally returned to normal from rapid.

In tide-like numbers of barbarians,

Frames of expensive formation ballistas were destroyed, one by one desperate Habayashi soldiers fell in a pool of blood, and the area occupied by the barbarians on the city wall began to spread step by step.

This is the price, the price for Li Qingyan to put all his eggs in one basket and concentrate his forces to fight a decisive battle.

The advantage in the south of the city was obtained in exchange for the crisis in the east and west cities.

Time, at this moment, seems to have no concept.

Only splattered blood and breath of death filled the walls

At this point, they are already competing for the willpower of the generals and soldiers of both sides.

Whoever collapses first loses.

Xu Yuan clenched his fists slightly, but suddenly found that Li Zhaoyuan beside him suddenly disappeared.

next moment,

A dazzling white thunder light almost illuminated the sky covered by snow clouds, and the powerful aura that belonged to Yipin Transformation began to wreak havoc on the city wall seemingly unscrupulously.

The Dao Domain suddenly appeared, with a radius of hundreds of feet, and suddenly the sky was filled with thunder!

in an instant,

A hundred tall barbarian soldiers fell to the ground and turned into coke.

see this scene,

Xu Yuan's pupils suddenly shrank.

Bad, he slapped the face of a degenerate prince in the palace before.

But the next moment, Xu Yuan raised his eyes to look at the large formation above the sky.

Even if Li Zhaoyuan was a strong man, he didn't believe that the other party dared to be so ostentatious in a war of this scale.

Because the next moment the high-level cultivator made his move was the bombardment from the army formation.

And just as Xu Yuan thought,

Li Zhaoyuan's Dao Domain had just started, and before the moves stopped, a phantom of a giant python rushed out of the smoke suddenly!

The moment the tough city wall touched the python's body, it immediately turned into dust and invaded Li Zhaoyuan's sky-filled thunder field. The thick lightning arc hit the giant python's phantom, but it couldn't stop it at all.

It's a pity that the defensive formation that had almost stagnated above the sky reappeared at this time.

Li Zhaoyuan's body instantly condensed a thick layer of shield.

The shield collided with the giant python, and the two sources of energy intertwined and wrestled, and the huge shock made the entire East City tremble slightly!

Xu Yuan stabilized his figure and instantly understood what the second prince wanted to do.

Deliberately restraining the source energy of the big formation protecting the city, he made a move at a critical moment, relying on the protection of the big formation, he used his own strength to defeat the morale of the barbarians in one fell swoop.

The barbarian leader who controls the totem of the army array below will naturally not be slower than Xu Yuan.

After Li Zhaoyuan killed nearly a hundred barbarian soldiers, a phantom of a giant tortoise shell condensed and blocked Li Zhaoyuan's lightning arc.

The Thunder Dao domain converged in an instant, and the thunder light reflected in the bright sky gradually turned into a frightening purple, and the speed around Li Zhaoyuan suddenly increased sharply again!

And at this moment, an invisible pressure of ten thousand junctures descended from the protective formation in the sky.

The moment the phantom of the tortoise shell intertwined with the lightning arc and the heavy pressure, cracks appeared one after another, and then spread rapidly, and shattered in a few breaths, directly turning into dots of starlight and disappearing in the air.

Just when Xu Yuan thought that Li Zhaoyuan would continue his solo show, he suddenly stopped and flew back to the gate tower.

Xu Yuan looked at Li Zhaoyuan whose body was still shining with thunder, and asked with a smile:

"Second Highness, has the Great Guard Array completely run out of energy reserves?"

Li Zhaoyuan also answered very honestly:

"Naturally, I don't dare to mess around in this kind of army formation. The morale of the barbarians should be about to collapse. The next thing will be left to Lieutenant Cang."

After this change, the offensive and defensive momentum on the city wall changed again.

Shortly after,

Excited exclamations on the city wall reached Xu Yuan's ears:

"The barbarians have retreated!"

"The barbarians have retreated!"

"Second Highness is a thousand years old!"

"Second Highness Second Highness Wu Yun Changlong!!"

"."

Hearing these shouts, Xu Yuan looked back and cupped his hands at Li Zhaoyuan:

"The Second Highness has gained quite a lot, and Chang Tian is really terrified that his cultivation base is so deep."

Li Zhaoyuan still had the indifferent expression before, his face was slightly pale, and he smiled slightly:

"Third Young Master, you don't have to be polite. This time, the King has used some external force."

pause for a moment,

Li Zhaoyuan seemed to hear something, glanced at the direction of Nancheng sideways, and said with a light smile:

"The emperor's sister has already entered the city. She asked me to take you there, Third Young Master."

Xu Yuan didn't move when he heard the words, but grinned:

"Oh? How did you get in touch?"

"The big formation protecting the city, our royal family can control the big formation, so we can naturally send messages in the city through it."

Li Zhaoyuan pointed to the top of the dome, and then smiled warmly: "Of course, the third son can also ask Vice General Cang to arrange someone to take you there."

Xu Yuan took a deep look at the other party, and laughed:

"Look at what you said, Second Highness, it's out of your sight."

After all,

Xu Yuan looked sideways at Lieutenant General Cang, whose face turned pale due to the backlash of the army, and said loudly:

"Vice General Cang, I'll go down with the Second Highness to meet Qing Yan first, take care."

Being dragged by Li Zhaoyuan with Yuan Qi, Xu Yuan and Xu Yuan soon arrived at Nancheng, the barracks where the Habayashi Army was located.

Together they came outside the huge barracks belonging to Li Qingyan,

Before the two could speak to the guard outside the door, Li Qingyan's rustling voice came from the barracks:

"Second brother, wait a moment, the son-in-law will come in first."

It's a bit late, it's 6k longer, and the code is finished.
