Chapter 249 The Battle Situation Pauses

  When the southern city is tight, there is no war on the eastern front.

  In addition to the howling cold wind over the entire east city, there is only the “click” sound of the teams 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 over there can’t be seen clearly, only some gunpowder smoke and faint shouts and roars can be heard.

  But even hearing these sounds is enough for the Habayashi guards and frontier soldiers in the east city to imagine the battle in the south city.

  Some people are afraid, some are glad, and some are eager to try.

  Xu Yuan stood on the city gate and 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 lowered his eyes, seemed not to have heard Xu Yuan’s question.

  Since he knew His Highness Wu Yuan’s intentions, he has been thinking about some things.

   Xu Yuan didn’t urge him when he saw this, 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 North Sealing City Defense Formation is a large formation composed of small formations interlocking with each other. The collapse of the south formation did not affect the operation of the formation here, but the overload on the other side However, the movement of the formation pattern has withdrawn the rest of the source qi.

   In other words,

  Before Yun Qi makes up for it, the protection that this large city protection array can provide can basically be said to be zero.

  Thinking so far, 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 the words, Xu Yuan glanced at the southern city where the gunpowder was everywhere.

  Under the blessing of the Blood Origin Heart Fall Art, he could see the flesh and blood that was frozen into ice cubes all over the inner city over there.

  In the ancient wars of the previous life, if one or two percent of the soldiers died, they would be defeated. If they insisted that 30 percent of the soldiers would not be defeated, they would be the elite.

  Withdrawing his gaze, Xu Yuan said softly:

  ”As long as there is no defeat, then 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 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 reacted quickly:

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

  ”Yes, the chiefs of the few remaining tribes of the barbarians are well aware of the combat power of our elite fighters. Even if emergency dispatchers go to reinforce, the princess can directly transfer the troops to fight back from the south city In the city.”

   Lieutenant General Cang seems to know these barbarian old opponents very well, his eyes are dignified:

  ”They are all old foxes who have gone through thousands of battles, and they are very sensitive to changes in the battle situation. The elite, the city is naturally empty, and the most profitable option is to trust the barbarian 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 waiting below.

  Yes, Li Qingyan is ready.

  He previously thought that the bosom-wrapped fiancee stayed in this battalion of Habayashi guards to support her, but now she saw that the other party was not planning to come back from the east gate at all.

  However, are the hearts of those 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 the big ice dumpling.

  Looking at Xu Yuan’s silence, Vice General Cang cupped his hands after finishing speaking:

   “Mr. Xu, Dongcheng will probably go to war soon, so I’m offended.”

  Speaking,

  He didn’t give Xu Yuan time to react, and 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. , but in a chaotic army, a stray arrow fired by a weapon or a siege by a barbarian squad could kill him.

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

  This lieutenant general has a bright future.

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

   “Lieutenant Cang, you know me quite well.”

   Lieutenant General Cang’s expression did not change:

   “If you make a mistake, Cang can’t do business for the princess, and the princess can’t do business for Mr. Xiangguo, please.”

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

  Deputy General Cang frowned.

  Xu Yuan smiled and said:

  ”A gentleman does not build a dangerous wall, but isn’t this wall still a dangerous wall?”

   Lieutenant General Cang looked puzzled:

   “Young Master Xu, it doesn’t make any sense for you to stay on this city wall.”

  Of course Xu Yuan knew it was meaningless.

  If he is on the southern city wall at the moment, it may still be meaningful.

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

  After the brainwashing in Tianan Martial Art Museum and the Black Scale Army, a cult of personality has formed in the hearts of most of the Black Scale Army.

  The personality cult of his daddy.

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

  But there are only 10,000 regular Zongmen frontier troops in Dongcheng except for one battalion of Habayashi Army.

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

  Li Zhaoyuan is still 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 the bombing of the Zongmen warehouse and Su Meimo carried it out, 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 they don’t know that he is the chosen heir of the Xiangguo Mansion, they will still want to get rid of him based on his soaring cultivation level in 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 be in my mind. There will always be only a string of cold numbers on the file.”

  “.”

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

  Amidst 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 was not a barbarian, but a slender figure wearing a prince’s jade robe.

  It is Li Zhaoyuan.

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

  Be quiet for a moment,

  Xu Yuan did not 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.”

  Deputy General 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:

  ”I have already done everything I can do in the government office. 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 second prince’s cultivation level, after all, his father was walking in front when he slapped him in the face.

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

   Lieutenant General Cang still lowered his head and cupped his hands:

   “His Royal Highness, you are an extraordinary cultivator fighting on the battlefield, you are a body of gold.”

   “Vice General Cang.”

  Li Zhaoyuan interrupted him by raising his hand, looking at the patrolling soldiers below with complicated eyes, with a serious tone:

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

  ”.” Xu Yuan almost froze.

  ”.” Hearing this, Lieutenant Cang with his head down had a weird expression.

  Silence for a moment,

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

   “Cough, the Second Highness is worried about the soldiers, and Cang will remember it in his heart.”

  The words fall,

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

  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 restrained 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, this king will immediately arrange for guards to take you back to the mansion.”

  Xu Yuan hissed immediately when he heard this.

   is broken.

  This guy, wouldn’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 Deputy General Cang here?”

  Paused for a moment, he turned and asked:

  ”But 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 is too weird, it’s hard for Xu Yuan not to think about it.

  The other party wants to establish prestige in the Dayan Army, Xu Yuan really knows.

  But the problem is that if you really want to establish your 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 more dangerous, but greater risk means greater reward.

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

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

   “The imperial sister and Yuan Commander are already in charge over there, so I don’t need to go anymore.”

   “Oh”

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

   “Lieutenant Cang, is your habit of controlling the army array at the front or at the rear?”

  The records of the internal reference of the Xiangguo Mansion about the military formation basically require generals to sit in the middle army. will crash immediately.

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

   Lieutenant Cang’s voice is 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 when he heard the words:

   “That’s good.”

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

  Although it is not sure whether Li Zhaoyuan wants to do something to him, this is not a gamble.

   Lieutenant General Cang said softly:

   “Don’t worry, Mr. Xu, as long as the general is still alive, you will definitely not make mistakes.”

   “Thank you.”

  Xu Yuan smiled relaxedly, and turned to look at Li Zhaoyuan who was aside:

   “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 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.”

  Paused, he stared at him again and smiled:

  ”Although I’m not nervous, but I’m a life-threatening person. The Second Highness has to take care of me for a while. So many people have seen His Highness standing next to me. If it’s dangerous, you can’t justify it if you don’t help me .”

   At the end, Xu Yuan slightly emphasized 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 Black Scale Guards in the city, right?”

  Xu Yuan also looked at the smoke screen blocking the line of sight in front of him, and said with a smile:

  ”There are indeed, but where they are now, I don’t know.”

  Li Zhaoyuan’s voice is flat and soothing:

   “Hey, 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

  Because there is no war colossus in the east, the barbarians let the warriors of the tribe throw countless iron thorns at the first time when they attacked the city. A ladder for barbarian soldiers to use.

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

  Countless barbarian soldiers took advantage of the effect of this mist to attach themselves to the agile ants.

  Although the large defensive array in the sky has been somewhat faintly visible due to the insufficient supply of source energy, it still continues to provide shelter for the defenders of the Great Yan on the city wall, and all kinds of defensive equipment are directed towards the city. A blind shot in the mist below.

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

  In the mist below the city, from time to time, a group of condensed monster totems will 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 city, but his tall body of Zhang Xu was directly cut in two by a Habayashi soldier.

  But followed by the second barbarian, the tenth barbarian, and the hundredth barbarian!

  This is the first time Xu Yuan has seen the barbarian ethnic group with his own eyes.

  Human form, but ferocious and terrifying, it has a kind of uncanny valley effect at first glance.

  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 knife was ruthless when brandished.

  As much as you come up, as much as you kill.

  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 freezing temperature.

  But very soon, the great array of defenses in the sky seemed to have exhausted the source energy due to the impact of the totems in the mist, and the frequency of releasing attacks gradually slowed down. First casualty.

  And once it starts, the casualties can no longer be stopped.

  The barbarians under the city seem to be endless, and if you kill one, you can jump up 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 caused their flesh and blood to fly.

  Xu Yuan saw a barbarian leader whose aura was no weaker than his and wanted to shake the crossbow arrows hard, but his body was beaten and disappeared instantly, 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 hot 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 flying all over the sky.

  Standing on the top of the city gate, Xu Yuan silently looked down at the war that belonged to the extraordinary world below.

  Under the tide of barbarians,

  A series of expensive array 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 of the south of the city was exchanged for the crisis in the east and west cities.

  Time seems to have no concept at this moment.

  Only splashes of blood and death permeate the city walls

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

  Whoever collapses first loses.

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

  The next moment,

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

  Daoyu suddenly appeared, with a radius of hundreds of feet, the sky was filled with thunder!

  In an instant,

   Hundreds of tall barbarian soldiers fell to the ground and turned into coke.

  Seeing this scene,

  Xu Yuan’s pupils shrank suddenly.

  It’s broken, he slapped a 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 is a superhuman power, he doesn’t believe that the other party dares to be so ostentatious in a war of this scale.

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

  As Xu Yuan thought,

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

  The moment the tough city wall touched the python’s body, it immediately turned into dust and invaded Li Zhaoyuan’s sky-filled thunderfield.

  It’s a pity that the moat formation that had almost stagnated above the sky resurfaced 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 two princes wanted to do.

  Deliberately restraining the source energy of the large formation that protects the city, he made a move at a critical moment, and with the protection of the large formation, he used his own strength to defeat the morale of the barbarians in one fell swoop.

  The barbarian general who controls the totem of the army formation 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 Dao of Thunder converges in an instant, the thunder light reflecting the bright sky gradually turns into a frightening purple, and the speed of Li Zhaoyuan’s body suddenly increases sharply again!

  At this time, an invisible and overwhelming pressure fell on the large defensive formation in the sky.

  The moment the phantom of the tortoise shell was 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 between.

  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, who was still shining with thunder, and asked with a smile:

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

  Li Zhaoyuan also answered very honestly:

  ”It’s natural. I don’t dare to mess around in this kind of army formation. The morale of the barbarians should be broken. The next thing will be left to Lieutenant Cang.”

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

   Soon after,

  Excited exclamations on the city wall entered Xu Yuan’s ears:

   “The barbarians are back!”

   “The barbarians are back!”

   “Second Highness Chitose!”

   “Second Highness Second Highness Martial Luck Prosperous!!”

  “.”

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

   “The Second Highness has gained a lot, and his cultivation is so deep, it really makes Chang Tian frightened.”

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

   “Third son, you are welcome. This time, the king has borrowed some external force.”

  Pause for a moment,

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

   “The imperial sister has already entered the city, she… Let me 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 dome, and said with a warm smile: “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, you are out of your league.”

  Speaking,

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

   “Vice General Cang, I will go down with the Second Highness to meet Qing Yan first, take care.”

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

   came together outside the huge barracks that belonged to Li Qingyan,

   Before the two could speak to the guards 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.

   or?
