Chapter 542: Capture the thief and capture the king first



It lasted for about half an hour, and the movement outside gradually became smaller.

Su Ruoxi flew to the roof to check the situation outside, only to see that the soldiers who attacked the City Lord's Mansion all fled in the direction of the north gate, as if something big had happened.

As soon as she saw this scene, she knew that it must be Xuanyuan Yumo's people who were besieged.

Su Ruoxi did not rush over, but stood on a high place and watched.

The night sky was lit up by the flames of war, and the entire Moon City was plunged into a scuffle.

The 100,000 troops of Xuanyuan Yumo who attacked the city were trapped in the city, and the fighting between the two armies continued until dawn.

When the sun rose, the smoke of gunpowder refused to disperse, and the pungent and unpleasant smell filled the air.

Su Ruoxi saw in front of her eyes how Xuanyuan Yumo's army was defeated, and how they escaped from Moon City in embarrassment.

Mu Zihan led people to take advantage of the victory to pursue, and fought another battle outside Yuecheng City, while Xuanyuan Yumo's people lost more than half.

Su Ruoxi came out of the City Lord's Mansion with Tianyu and was shocked by the scene in front of her.

The entire Moon City was full of corpses, and the ground was stained red with blood.

After the war, Moon City became a mess, and it will probably take at least a year to recover.

"Tianyu, let's go take a look outside the city!"

Su Ruoxi rode the fire cloud and came out of the moon city all the way.

The fighting outside the city had subsided, and Su Ruoxi saw that their men were cleaning up the battlefield.

She casually inquired with someone and learned that Cangyue's army had retreated to the canyon, and Mu Zihan led the army to chase after her.

I'm afraid, now the two armies are fighting in the gorge.

After learning the news, Su Ruoxi immediately rushed towards the canyon where the Cangyue army was stationed.

This time, Cangyue sent an army of 300,000, and there were still 100,000 left in the canyon, and Mu Zihan chased after him so rashly, and it was difficult to determine the outcome of the battle.

When she rushed to the top of the canyon, she saw that the people of the two armies in the canyon were still fighting.

In the chaos, she couldn't find Mu Zihan's figure at all.

Su Ruoxi stood on a high place and looked down, quickly looking for Mu Zihan's figure.

Suddenly, Tian Yu pointed to the depths of the canyon and exclaimed, "Sister, look what is over there!" ”

Su Ruoxi looked for prestige, and in the depths of the canyon, there were many things like cannons.

She had seen that thing, it was these cannons that directly destroyed the entire Guogong Mansion.

Seeing that hundreds of such cannon barrels were placed in the canyon, Su Ruoxi immediately realized the danger.

If they continue to fight like this, once Xuanyuan Yumo launches artillery fire, I'm afraid that many of their people will die.

Thinking of this, Su Ruoxi immediately handed over a token to Tian Yu and said to Tian Yu: "Tian Yu, take this to give the order and let everyone retreat!" ”

This token was given to her by Mu Zihan at the beginning, and it can mobilize soldiers and horses, and now it just comes in handy.

She wanted to find Mu Zihan in case Mu Zihan fell into Xuanyuan Yumo's trap.

Tian Yu took the token and acted separately from Su Ruoxi.

From the top of the canyon, Su Ruoxi took a detour to the depths of the canyon.

Sure enough, as she expected, she was in the depths of the canyon and saw that Mu Zihan was surrounded by enemy troops, and she couldn't get out at all.

The guards around Mu Zihan were all killed, but the soldiers outside couldn't come in to help.

Seeing this scene, Su Ruoxi didn't think much about it, and flew down directly from the top of the canyon and landed beside Mu Zihan.

She drew her sword and killed the two closest soldiers, and killed the enemy with Mu Zihan.

"Why are you here?"

Seeing Su Ruoxi, Mu Zihan immediately frowned, it was very dangerous here, and he didn't dare to guarantee her safety at all.

"There is an ambush here, I have already asked Tianyu to give the order to withdraw the troops, let's withdraw quickly!"

Su Ruoxi's simple explanation, without her saying more, presumably Mu Zihan could also realize that the situation was not good.

"Good! Let's withdraw! ”

With Su Ruoxi by her side, Mu Zihan didn't dare to hold on more, for fear of hurting her, so she could only order a retreat.

However, as soon as they retreated to the mouth of the canyon, there was a sudden loud noise, and the earth trembled violently.

Su Ruoxi looked up and saw that a huge crater had been blown out a hundred meters in front of him, and hundreds of soldiers had all been blown away, and even some of the corpses had turned into pieces.

She knew that it must have been Xuanyuan Yumo who ordered the cannonballs to be fired, wanting to block all their people here.

Before she could think about it, there were a few loud bangs, and the entire canyon looked like it was about to collapse, with rocks flying and flames blazing.

In just an instant, their people were injured a lot.

Seeing this scene, Su Ruoxi secretly gritted her teeth and asked Mu Zihan to lead the army to retreat, while she returned to the canyon.

She was going to stop Xuanyuan Yumo, she couldn't watch so many people die.

Mu Zihan wanted to stop it, but the scene was too chaotic, and before he could hold Su Ruoxi's hand, Su Ruoxi had already run away.

Su Ruoxi returned to the canyon, flew to the sentry of the camp, broke a big flag and waved it at Cangyue's army.

Xuanyuan Yumo sat quietly on the high platform in the distance, and he saw Su Ruoxi rushing over, but he didn't pay attention to it at all.

His army has killed so many people, how can he be worthy of his dead soldiers if he doesn't let Mu Zihan pay a price.

Fighting a war is so cruel, it doesn't need any sympathy, just the outcome of winning or losing.

Seeing that Xuanyuan Yumo was indifferent, he continued to order people to fire cannons.

Su Ruoxi dropped the flag and ran straight towards Xuanyuan Yumo.

She ran to the high platform as fast as she could, and before Xuanyuan Yumo had time to dodge, she had already inserted Xuanyuan Yumo's throat.

Seeing this, the others drew their swords and surrounded her.

"Get out of here! Or I'll kill him!" ”

She has no choice, and now is not the time to talk nonsense, if she delays for a quarter of an hour, hundreds more people will die.

"Stop! Whoever dares to try a cannonball again, I promise to kill your emperor! ”

Drunk by her like this, all the troops in the camp did not dare to act rashly.

"It's a pity that you want to kill me?"

Xuanyuan Yumo narrowed his eyes in disappointment, he was defenseless against her, so he let her choke his throat so easily.

"Let your people withdraw their troops and withdraw from the territory of Moon City, and I will let you go!"

She didn't want to see people on both sides continue to fight, whether she won or lost, so many people died was not what she wanted to see.

"Humph! Do you think it's possible to withdraw troops now? ”

Xuanyuan Yumo snorted coldly, obviously unwilling to agree to her request.

Su Ruoxi didn't think about the possibility or impossibility, she only knew that Xuanyuan Yumo's life was more important than anything, and if she caught him, she could threaten the entire Cangyue.

"I'll give you half a pillar of incense time to think about it, or we'll all end up together!"

She knew that if she killed Xuanyuan Yumo, she would definitely not be able to escape.

Even so, she wants to give it a try!

After speaking, Su Ruoxi stuffed a poison into Xuanyuan Yumo's mouth and forced him to eat it.
