Chapter 342: Advance and Retreat

ยท

When Xi Shangjue rode to the front of the army, he found that the situation was inexplicably strange, and he couldn't explain it for a while.

"What's wrong? Why did it slow down? "Sishanjue looked down at the battle on his horse, and noticed that the advance of his troops was slightly sluggish. The cries of the civilians gradually faded away, and not only that, but also the sporadic resistance that had been encountered.

The team leader will come forward to explain.

After a number of houses were burned, no one was found in the houses. Obviously, I killed a lot of people at first, but gradually I broke into all the empty houses. Those guards too, if they were killed, it would be too early to kill, if they fled...... Now that the four gates are raising troops at the same time, where can the people and the guards flee to?

Xi Shangjue is a battle-hardened veteran, and his intuition is so sharp that he suddenly feels that something is wrong.

Jumping up, picking up the eaves of the house with one hand, climbing higher and higher. On the top of the third floor, the hot evening breeze ruffled his cloak. The commercial city in the northwest is still quite large, and a towering city wall encircles the city. Although the four gates were due south and north, so the fire in the corners would be a little slower, but when he stood high and looked far, he soon found that the four corners were only in the northwest direction, and there was no spark.

With a bang, Xishangjue roared: "What is the northwest place in the city?" โ€

"Lord Hui, it's where the black street is."

Black Street?

There will be black streets in the slightly larger towns of the Starfall Continent, which is a local characteristic, and it can't be cleared or eliminated, of course, there will be here.

I asked for details again, and it seemed that the reason why the black street had not caught fire so far was because there were a large number of former mercenaries and ruffians resisting, and it was not the target of the aristocratic army, so it was not able to fall for a long time.

Xi Shangjue frowned deeply. Are you thinking too much? I thought that the black street was a hindrance from it......

"Oh no, sir!" Suddenly, a soldier rushed to Xishangjue in embarrassment, staggering and falling to his knees.

"What's the panic?"

"Great, great! Barracks, barracks, ......! โ€

"Say it! What happened to the barracks? โ€

"Army!" The soldier who reported the news ran out of breath and slowed down before continuing to speak, "...... The barracks were attacked! โ€

Boom, a thunderbolt from a sunny sky swept through Xi Shangjue's heart. When he heard this, he couldn't help but take a half step back in shock.

The armies of the various nobles were camped outside the gates of the northwestern commercial city, and of course the Western Shangjue was no exception. Although the importance of the military camp at this time was not as important as that of the expedition, and even if it was lost, it was possible to get food and grass from the city on the spot, but it was not something that others could attack at will.

This time, Xi Shangjue left 20% of his troops to garrison the barracks, but it was just some ordnance, camp tents and other things, to be honest, he was originally used to prevent the other three nobles from stabbing in the back, so as to leave a way back for his main army. The barracks themselves weren't important, but it was the back road for him to retreat!

Cut off!

"Attacked by whom?" His eyes widened, and he lost his usual composure. The guards in the city are already insufficient in number, and it is impossible to play an empty city plan, and in addition to this, it is the betrayal of the other three nobles? Rain culvert bed personally dispatched? The servants of the rain culvert bed?

"It's the Lord of the Source Phoenix!"

"What? Who, who do you say? โ€

"It's the son-in-law of the Teleportation Emperor, the new lord, the one who just caused the people to rebel a while ago!"

โ€œโ€ฆโ€ฆ How could it be him? โ€

What's going on now? Xi Shangjue can no longer be described as just confused at this moment. That skinny knight? What, why, how, ah?

No, wait!

Xi Shangjue took a few steps back and asked, "Himself?" Are you still following Yu Hanbed or other celestial mage's henchmen? โ€

"On his own, with ......"

"With what? Mobs? โ€

Xi Shangjue knew that the Yuan Huang Xia Jue had just been promoted, not to mention his own private soldiers, and even the mansion was in the village, and the decoration fee was still paid by his father-in-law. Is it leading a mob attack? Where else does he have soldiers?

"Not a mob, and ......!"

"Could it be that he is leading the army of the Teleportation Emperor? Damn, robbing while the fire is on, this is not like the style of that old slippery head! โ€

Sishanjue did not respect the prophet as much as others. Although he also respected, he was far from the point of loving the house and Wu, and he did not take the righteous brother of the prophet of the Teleportation Emperor and the apprentice of the prophet of the Yuanhuang Xia Jue in his eyes.

"The Teleportation Emperor, this old slippery head, how dare you!" Xi Shangjue gritted his teeth, "When Benjue relieves his breath, let's slowly settle this account!" โ€

"Not either!"

"Isn't it?" Xishangjue was stunned, "The army that is not led by the mob or the Teleportation Emperor is anything else?" A herd of cows that are going to top the dead, haha! โ€

Xi Shangjue really smiled.

When the herald arrived, he couldn't laugh, but broke out in a cold sweat: "Big, great...... He led more than 30,000 Fire Clans...... People ......"

"Oh, I know that a new knight can't make any waves." Xi Shangjue smiled disdainfully, nodded, turned the horse's head and was about to continue to command the battle, when suddenly it seemed that he had finally moved the words just now from his ears into his head with difficulty, "? What! โ€

"More than 30,000...... Fire Clan ......"

"Impossible......"

Suddenly, his eyes went dark, his body leaned to the side, and he almost fell off his horse. Pulling the reins tightly, his face turned green and his eyes widened.

30,000 Fire Clan?

This is no longer a trivial matter of whether Xi Shangjue himself can survive or not, but the level of national aggression, involving the survival of the entire Starfall Continent. The Fire Clan warriors are not only better than the soldiers of the Starfall Continent in terms of individual combat effectiveness, but they are also good at crushing everything with extremely offensive crowd tactics. No one can guarantee that there will only be 30,000 people who invade late at night, and the last time the daughter of a great general came to ask for someone, she led more than 100,000 people, and this time it is absolutely indispensable.

Why? Why would it!

Of course, the changes that happened in the Fire Clan a few days ago also reached the ears of the nobles of the Starfall Continent. Hongyang Minbo usurped the throne successfully, the general, the moon and the moon were all in different places, the fire dance Bichi was nowhere to be found, and the three generals of the fire clan capital were all lost. Hongyang Minbo had lost nearly half of his army, and it was difficult to beware of other Fire Clan warlords taking advantage of the situation, so how could he still have the strength to invade overseas?

Therefore, the result of the discussion of the four nobles was that the Fire Clan was not to be afraid and was excluded from the scope of consideration. Despite this, no one knew about the close relationship between Hongyang Minbo and the Heavenly Mage, and the scout's stalking did not dare to relax in the slightest. I didn't receive any information about the Fire Clan's army crossing the sea.

Take the portal? There are too many people to be impossible and too conspicuous.

Could it be that the Celestial Mage used magical teleportation magic...... That woman can teleport even an army of tens of thousands? It's so rebellious, I don't believe it!

Whether Sishangjue believed it or not, the city gate soon burst into flames, which was the location of the barracks. Set fires, no one is more skilled than the Fire Clan army.

Xishangjue panicked and shouted, "The whole army stops fighting!" Immediately go full speed ahead, evacuate from the East Gate, and defend the royal city! "His decision was very wise, and now the city is full of fire, which makes the already brave and warlike Fire warriors even more powerful. Absolutely can't beat it!

"Urgent!" At this moment, the soldier in charge of communication magic galloped all the way, and before he could reach his horse, he shouted hoarsely, "My lord! Traces of 30,000 Fire Clan were found outside the East City Gate, cutting off the retreat of the army on the eastern side! They are asking for help! โ€

What the!

How can it be!

"Urgent! Thirty thousand Fire Clan appeared outside the North Gate! โ€

"Urgent! Thirty thousand Fire Clan appeared outside the South Gate! โ€
