The city broke suddenly, but after all, the city was broken.

The Templars broke into an urn and held the gates firmly, and the defenders of the Rantium tried to recapture it several times, but failed.

When Siboro heard the news, he personally mounted his horse to check it, and when he came to the direction of the urn city, he used a clairvoyant mirror to check it. There was already a sea of corpses and blood in the urn city, and I don't know how many people died, this was the fiercest battle, and the Templars paid a great price to take down this place.

Now that the city had fallen, the gates it connected to were in jeopardy, and from the clairvoyant mirror, Siboro could see that most of the gate guarded by the Rantham garrison had fallen into the hands of the Templars.

"Blow the trumpet!" Si Boluo made up his mind that a fortified city like Lan Ting could not be broken by saying that it could be broken, and there might not be such a good opportunity next time, even if it might be the enemy's trick to lure the enemy, but he believed that the Templars would always be better than a siege battle if they broke into the city.

As long as Lan Ting is taken before the Northwest Army led by Zhao Fu returns, then there will be no variables in this game. And once the city gate is taken, they may not be able to take the Lanting in a few days, with their numerical advantage.

The sound of the trumpet was majestic and long, calling not only the retreating Templars back, but also to the Lord's Mansion.

"The surname is Xia! You say, how could something happen to the South Gate? If you don't give me an explanation, even if the old town guard comes back to life today, I will kill you in front of him! Ma Xiong pointed to Xia Yingyang's face and questioned him, the south is the area where Xia Yingyang is deployed, but this experienced veteran of the battle formation was broken through the city gate today.

Feng Yu had already returned to the City Lord's Mansion, he was relatively calm, or curious, he wanted to hear what Xia Yingyang had to say. It stands to reason that the safest should be the south gate that Xia Yingyang is responsible for, no one expected that this south gate would be broken like this.

"We can't let them go." Xia Yingyang's answer was very simple, the people of the Holy Sect want to leave, and I don't want them to go.

"You did it on purpose." Feng Yu groaned: "Why? ”

"The people of the Holy Religion should not go." Xia Yingyang did not answer Feng Yu's question directly, but went around in a circle.

Yes, why should the people of the Holy Religion go? Feng Yu also began to ask himself this question. The execution of the Holy Cult's attack this time was extremely strong, stopping all the messengers and scouts, and even the carrier pigeons were spared. Since a long time ago, Lan Ting City has lost contact with the outside world, and they don't know the situation outside at all. However, Lanting's geographical location is remote, and letters are delivered every month except for caravans, and few people will turn back and choose to go to Lanting, the border of the empire. If they didn't guess wrong, even the imperial capital didn't know that Lanting City had been besieged for nearly two months. After all, the Holy Sect's concealment method this time was extremely good, and they suddenly appeared under Lanting City, and they did not prepare the Lanting defenders at all.

"The Holy Church Card is at a good time, and the messenger has just sent the letter from that city, and they are here, right?" Feng Yu suddenly thought and asked one of his subordinates to participate in politics.

"Yes, as soon as Lao Wang left with a cart of letters that day, people from the Holy Sect suddenly appeared, and we haven't been able to send other letters after that."

"The Holy Sect doesn't want to fight a tough battle this time." Feng Yu nodded, and then said to himself: "Then why did they withdraw their troops?" ”

Is it because two months are approaching and you are worried about imperial reinforcements? No, even if the imperial capital found out that it had cut off contact with Lan Ting, it would only send someone to inquire and inquire about the news first, and would not immediately send troops. Even if there is definite news, it will take a while to recruit troops and horses, and once it comes back and forth, I am afraid it will take more than two months. Therefore, there is no reason for the Holy Church to withdraw its troops at this point in time.

"Now the news of the Holy Sect is better than ours, I personally went outside the city to check it out, and the Holy Sect really has plans to withdraw from the army." Xia Yingyang continued.

"The Holy Sect doesn't want to fight a tough battle, they just want to secretly gnaw Lan Ting down, and they withdraw their troops...... Unless......" Feng Yu continued to speculate according to Xia Yingyang's train of thought.

The two veterans calculated on the side, leaving Ma Xiong aside, Ma Xiong also tried very hard to digest the words of these two people at first, trying to find something from this word that he could understand, but the result was still a glorious failure.

"What the hell are you talking about?" Ma Xiong didn't understand, so he simply didn't listen, he moved a stool and sat on the side sulking.

"How likely is it?" Feng Yu ignored Ma Xiong, now was not the time to take care of Ma Xiong's personal emotions, he stared at Xia Yingyang and asked, at this time, every second was the life of the soldiers guarding the city.

"Seventy percent." Xia Yingyang was not very sure, so he added one.

"Humph! Ma Xiong. Feng Yu thought to himself, you estimate that even three CD did not shrink the defensive line, evacuate the residents to the north, and vacate a no-man's land from the south gate to prepare for street fighting. ”

"Huh? Ah, oh, good! Ma Xiong came back to his senses, he only heard Xia Yingyang say seventy percent, although he couldn't understand what the two were saying, but it was probably good news, and he went directly.

A large number of residents have been moved out of the area south of the city, Ma Xiong and his men have begun to set up defenses, and the street fighting in the city is much more difficult than defending the city, and if you don't prepare in advance, you may not be able to hold it for even a day.

In a courtyard in the west of the city, Xie Xiyan was vacating the house for a large number of residents who had taken refuge, while Xu Lingling was asking others to prepare some food for the residents. Although there was a reserve of dry food in the city, she still urged the gang to try to let every resident who had taken refuge here drink a sip of hot soup.

"The saint is really kind." A Templar praised them as both members of the Lan River Empire, and that having become a Templar of the Cross Cult did not mean that they would be separated from the Empire. Most of them joined the Holy Cult as Templars in the name of the Holy Maiden, and this time the Holy Cult and the Empire fought, which also made them very uncomfortable. They are Lanhe people, and from the bottom of their hearts, they must support the Empire, and they are now Templars under Xu Lingling's command, and this dual identity torment has put great pressure on them.

"Shh Xie Xiyan was about to report something, and happened to pass by and heard the Templar talking, he hurriedly told the guy to shut up: "It's Miss." ”

"Yes, yes, it's Miss Kindness." The Templar reacted very quickly, and he immediately changed his words, and now he was used to calling the Holy Maiden, but now he was prone to slipping out of his mouth if he was not careful.

"Miss." Xie Xiyan found Xu Lingling: "There is a pregnant woman who is about to give birth, is it ......?"

"Huh? I'll go take a look. Xu Lingling smiled at him as a thank you for his special briefing, this kind of behavior has become her habit, not deliberate, for her this is just a kind of etiquette.

"I'll show you the way."

Soon they came to the courtyard, where the woman was in labour, and there was no midwife among them, and the woman's cry could be heard outside.

The woman's husband and her family gathered around her to cheer her up, but the situation did not seem to be too rosy.

After a long time without a smooth delivery, Xu Lingling watched outside the house for a while, and then prepared to make a move.

"Miss!" Xie Xiyan stopped her, he knew Xu Lingling's temperament, and he would definitely not let this kind of thing go, but Xu Lingling hadn't learned that, and all she could rely on was the divine skills of the Holy Sect......

"You can't see death without help." Xu Lingling also knew that her identity would be exposed, but as she said, she couldn't die without help.

Xu Lingling stepped into the room, she didn't give any explanation, just gently put her hand on the belly of the woman whose voice was getting quieter, and a simple and soft warmth flowed, and it didn't take long for the baby to fall to the ground.

Maybe her face was too perfect, or maybe the holy aura of her body was too strong, and everything went smoothly, but it was very fast, and the people in the room did not react.

"Mother and child are safe." Xu Lingling congratulated the people in the house.

Xie Xiyan had been watching the situation in the room from the side, his hand had been on the hilt of the sword at his waist, once the people in the room tried to do something wrong to Xu Lingling, he could immediately stop it. Fortunately, nothing went badly, and the people in the room preferred to take it as a miracle, and their joy dispelled the doubts that should have arisen.

Xie Xiyan breathed a sigh of relief, he looked at Xu Lingling with a little reproachful eyes, but saw her sticking out her tongue at him, and her appearance suddenly became cute.

"Don't die without help!" Xu Lingling also had the feeling of escaping, although Xie Xiyan's eyes at this time made her a little scared, but she knew that this person really cared about herself, she hurriedly told him, at least in terms of identity, she could still suppress him, otherwise she was worried that she would be nagged by this person again.

Xie Xiyan had nothing to do with Xu Lingling like this, he smiled helplessly, and let Xu Lingling go. In his heart, he was even more determined, he didn't care which side he should stand on, whether it was the Holy Sect or the Empire, he didn't stand.

He only stands with Xu Lingling, and only where Xu Lingling is there is light, which is called faith.
