(2) Soldiers are coming to the city
As everyone knows, just when Xuanyuan Xing and Yu Yue were playing, Wanqiu City, where they were temporarily staying, was already in danger.
Ninety miles northwest of the lake, at the end of the vast plain, a city stands majestically, with a radius of ten miles.
The buildings in the city are lined up, the market is prosperous, and the people are peaceful during the shuttle.
The outer city wall is about eight zhang high, twelve zhang thick, is built for 10,000 catties of bluestone, is solid like gold, indestructible.
The city wall is divided into three gates, and the top of the middle round gate is engraved with two golden characters of "Wanqiu".
The walls are covered with pennants, and there are many soldiers under it, holding spears, full of energy, all concentrating on the distance.
Suddenly, a black swift of about two meters flew by and stopped at the head of the city wall.
A soldier flew down from the back of the swift and went straight to the lookout of the city gate.
"Madam, General Zhu, the 50,000 horses in Lanling are less than ten miles away from Wanqiu, and most of them are light cavalry, but the Bird Silver Armor Army has more than 3,000 people, and the marching speed is extremely fast, and the generals are coming to my Wanqiu City in less than a quarter of an hour. ”
"Fifty thousand horses!" "Three thousand silver armor!"
As soon as the words of the swift soldiers fell, they attracted a lot of discussion from several generals at the lookout, as if they had a sense of foreboding.
"General Zhu, what do you think?"
The woman standing at the front of the lookout leaned over and whispered to the old man next to her.
The tone was soft and gentle, without the slightest hint of harshness, but the generals who were talking about it just now were suddenly silent, and their eyes were all focused on the woman who asked the question.
Look at her eyebrows like ink, and her eyes are full of kindness.
The plain white dress is decorated with gold silk embroidery, showing grace and luxury, but also gentle and elegant, although more than 30, but the charm is still the same.
The most conspicuous place is her bulging abdomen, and at a glance, you can see that she is pregnant with Rokka.
"Madame, the battle report the day before yesterday, the 150,000 troops of Lanling are bypassing the Inner Spirit Domain, preparing to merge with the two armies of Chiyan and Qizong, and now 50,000 horses have penetrated deep into my Xuanyuan territory and suddenly appeared outside Wanqiu City, which is really a bit strange!"
The white-haired old general Zhu had a solemn face with his beard in his hands.
"The most tricky thing is that the prince led heavy troops to Luoshen Peak to face the battle, leaving less than 6,000 soldiers defending the city, most of them are ordinary armor soldiers, less than 1,000 soldiers who have cultivated to the Bronze Armor Yuan Realm, and less than 100 generals who have cultivated to the Silver Armor Yuan Realm. ”
"The general is willing to go out of the city with me to find out!"
The woman looked out of the city.
A few miles away, you can vaguely see a large group of people and horses moving fast, and you can faintly hear the roaring hooves!
"Madame!"
Anxious cries came from the staircase of the inner wall, and the woman in a short skirt walked straight to the lookout, she took the woman's hand, her face full of anxiety.
"Susu, you're here. ”
The woman greeted her with a smile.
"It just so happens that I have something to look for you. The Lanling army will be under the city in an instant, your speed is fast, take a detour from the back of the city to pick up Xing'er back, he has been naughty all day, and he has to celebrate his birthday tonight. By the way, don't tell him about the war, this kid is very weird, I don't want him to worry, I just want him to have a peaceful birthday. ”
"Xing'er is accompanied by Lu Zisong, I'm not worried, but the situation is ······ now"
Before Su Su could finish speaking, the woman grabbed the conversation: "Don't worry, in the past ten years, I have experienced a lot of wars with the prince, and this is not difficult for me." ”
Seeing that Su Su was still worried, the woman took Su Su's hand, pretended to be relaxed, and continued: "Don't worry, don't worry, when you come back, they will be repulsed a long time ago!"
At this time, the Lanling army had already entered the open area in front of the city, the roar of the war horses and spirit beasts galloping was deafening, and the dust splashed under the hooves rolled forward, like a huge sandstorm swept forward.
The woman raised her head to the sky and called loudly, only to hear the sound of cranes and phoenixes resounding through the sky.
A giant bird with a dark purple body and a slight yellow halo broke through the clouds, spread its wings vigorously, and circled down.
"That's it, Chongming Luanniao!"
"Yes, yes, Chong Ming Luan, Chong Ming Luan!"
All the soldiers at the head of the city raised their eyes and looked at each other, and let out bursts of exclamation.
Yes, the giant bird that swirls in the air, the name is "Chongming Luan", which is a vein of ancient spirit beasts, with double pupils, four wings, and six tails, and its flight speed is no less than that of a blue bird, and its attack is better than that of an eagle eagle.
Although the soldiers at the head of the city had long heard that the mounts of the God of War couple had the blood of ancient divine beasts and were very accessible, there were very few people who had actually seen them, or had seen them so closely.
What's more, most of the soldiers in these cities are ordinary ironclad soldiers, looking at such a spirit beast, they are naturally full of surprises.
The woman nodded to Su Su, then took off into the air, stood on Chong Mingluan's back in an instant, and flew out of the city.
Old General Zhu rode a huge spirit beast, went out from the main gate, and followed closely.
