Chapter 611
Ye Xiaofei looked around, not only did they have no food, they didn't have weapons for self-protection or hunting, and they didn't even have a flying ice Jiao, perhaps, those seriously injured still needed a safe and sheltered place to live. None of them have any.
"Moorish sacrifice," he paused, "and that city has everything we need." β
His voice was low, afraid of being heard, and although he stayed, his fear of the Terrans did not diminish in the slightest. Human cities seem to them to be forbidden places that cannot be approached.
The main priest's name is Moore, and when he heard this, he was shocked, turned his head to look at the human city in the distance, gritted his teeth, and said, "Elder Ye, I'll go into the city with you and ask for help." β
The Moorish priesthood understands that this is playing with life, but it is also the fastest way to close the distance between the two races and reduce the estrangement. If he can enter the human city and come out alive, the fear in the hearts of the Ice Clan will be greatly reduced. However, at this time, everyone was afraid of that city, thinking that it was a forbidden place for cannibalism, and once entered, there was only one way to die.
Ye Xiaofei was also shocked by his words, and in the short term, he didn't dare to bring any Ice Clan people into the city. He thought that as long as he had this proposal, there would be quite a few Ice Clan people who would leave the team and chase after the Nine Elders who had not gone far. The Moorish sacrifice was too bold.
"Moore Sacrifice, you are the backbone of the Ice Clan, and you can't take risks easily." He admired the courage and responsibility of Moore's sacrifice, and even agreed with this method from the bottom of his heart. But the hearts of the people have not yet settled, and if something happens to the Moorish sacrifice at this time, no one can afford to pay this responsibility and bear the unpredictable consequences.
"Elder Ye, I can wait, those who are standing can wait, but, the people lying on the ground are struggling on the death line every moment, they can't be delayed, they need to get treatment and food immediately."
Ye Xiaofei pondered for a moment and nodded in agreement. Without further ado, the two of them turned around and began to walk towards Yanmen Guancheng, which was completely opposite to the direction that the Nine Elders left.
The large number of personnel movements outside the city has already made the Yanmen Pass highly tense and vigilant. Two snow wolf knights have been released from the east and west gates of the city, ready to start a war at any time. The main general Xu Xiong and the deputy general Xu Hu sat on the city tower, scanning the audience, very puzzled by the strange behavior of the Ice Clan.
The main general, Xu Xiong, tilted his head slightly and said, "General Xu Hu, what kind of siege tactic is this?" I've been in the army for 40 years, how come I've never seen one? DID YOU KNOW? β
Where does Xu Hu know, take a closer look.
The main force of the Ice Clan is leaving, and there are not many people in the empty camp, but if you look closely, you can suddenly find people lying on the snow, is it an ambush?
"General Hui, according to the speculation of his subordinates, the other party is showing weakness to the enemy, tricking our army out of the city and opening the city gate. Don't be fooled. β
"Well, I also think it's better to keep the gates closed. Orders were given to all the gates of the city, which were to be guarded tightly, and no one was allowed to leave the city easily. β
The four heralds took the arrows and hurried away.
"Report, enemy forces are approaching." The lookout shouted.
The main general Xu Xiong was not surprised, but showed a smile that was really like this, and said: "I can't deceive it, and I'm starting to attack." β
Deputy General Xu Hu did not panic at all, and even said a little ostentatious: "The garrison of this city is 50,000, the material is sufficient, the city walls are strong, and it is even equipped with magic crystal cannons, general, even if there are no reinforcements, we can defeat this gang of thieves." Come on, push out the magic crystal cannon. β
The main general Xu Xiong nodded, Yanmen Pass City is the most important city on the entire border line, the core of the core defense line, at the beginning of the construction, a lot of effort was made, the city wall is not only tall, but also all strengthened with magic, and the resistance ability is more than ten times that of ordinary similar city walls. Only under the walls of the main city of Lou Lancheng, among the thirty-six cities in the entire Western Regions, it ranks second.
The order to roll out the magic crystal cannon scared the lookouts into trembling. If he really pushed out the magic crystal cannon, it is estimated that he would be killed by the two generals on the spot.
"Newspaper - report ββ, only two ββββ enemy army"
The main general Xu Xiong just drank a sip of liquor suddenly spewed out a mist, and the rich aroma of the wine overflowed.
"Ahemββββ what? Two people? Are you sure you're not a fleeing citizen? β
General Xu Xiong looked embarrassed after speaking, and even forgot to wipe the wine from the corner of his mouth. Aiming at the fleeing people with heavy weapons in the town, this matter spread out, and they didn't dare to go out in the future. At this time, the heart to kill the lookout is there.
"Report, they came out of the Ice Clan camp with steady steps, one old and one young. It's coming towards us. β
"Oh? And this kind of weirdness? β
The main general and the deputy general suddenly climbed to the third floor of the city tower curiously, and sure enough, they saw two figures walking slowly, not like they were going to make trouble, they looked more like tourists.
ββββββ
Ye Xiaofei pointed to the towering city wall and introduced: "That is a battlement, concave and convex. When the war was fought, the warriors hid behind raised walls. Attacking through a recessed gap can greatly protect the safety of soldiers. The one with each of the five battlements protruding from the wall is called a wall hook. Inside is a retractable hollow pipe, which can spray flammable liquids, generate pressure through the magic array, and can spray up to a hundred meters, divided into two types: water jet and scattered strafing, which can form a huge sea of fire. It is said that alchemists have developed a liquid that can burn purple flames, which is very powerful. β
The Moorish priest nodded again and again, looking at the killing buildings created by the humans in amazement, and the unknown attack of the Ice Clan people will inevitably suffer huge casualties.
"Huh? There are still magic crystal cannons in this city? β
With sharp eyes, he immediately stared at the magic crystal cannon pushed back on a fort, and it was also a large magic crystal cannon, with a killing range of more than three hundred meters. It's a killing machine that kills with one shot.
"The black pipe?" The Moorish priest was puzzled. He followed Ye Xiaofei's gaze, only to see a black hole, and the figure of the magic crystal cannon had retreated.
The wall of Yanmen Pass is 66 meters high and the width is unknown, and the three-story tower is 31 meters high. The overall height is ninety-seven meters. There are a large number of crossbows and catapults to defend the city, and there are even a large number of magic crystal cannons. The city was densely packed with highly guarded warriors. Most of the soldiers are white full-body armor, and a small part are bright red armor soldiers, white front and red back, I don't know if it has a special effect. In addition to warriors, there are also magicians with magic wands.
"Stop coming, report your name."
Under the amplification magic array, a full-bodied warrior made a deep voice.
"What is he talking about?" The Moorish sacrifice was puzzled and completely incomprehensible.
The Ice Clan have been isolated from the world for thousands of years, and the language of the Terrans is naturally unknown. It is not surprising that two hostile races can trigger a fire and a race war. Therefore, if you want to bring the Ice Clan into the human world, you must have a guide.
"Ben General, Ye Xiaofei!"
In just five words, like a storm surging over the city, it slapped fiercely on the battlements, and a huge sound passed through the city wall and fell inside and outside the city wall. Ye Xiaofei shook his hand casually, and a golden light climbed onto the city wall, and landed on the thick city wall with a bang.
"Protect the general, there is a hidden weapon ββββ"
There was ββββ sound of a sword coming out of its sheath, and even a fool slashed at the purple gold order, and the token didn't do anything at all, but instead popped out a small hole in the blade.
Squeak, squeakββββ rows of warriors appeared in the battlements, bows full moon, sharp arrows locked below.
"Wait!"
General Xu Xiong pushed away the guards in front of him, stopped the archer's actions as soon as possible, stared at the Bauhinia Order on the ground, and remained motionless.
General Xu Hu next to him was also stunned, and said dumbfoundedly: "This is?" General order? β
General Xu Xiong pounced, picked up the general's order, and hurriedly turned around and entered the city tower, wanting to verify the authenticity of the token, the empire has a special method. As a border city, it will naturally not be without.
Thirty seconds later, Xu Xiong jumped directly from the third floor of the city tower to the city wall, behaving less like a respected old man, more like a hairy young man.
"Open the city gate and greet General Zhenbei!"
The soldiers guarding the city gate were stunned for three seconds before they understood the meaning of this sentence and hurriedly opened the city gate.
ββββ
"Are they going to kill us?" The Moorish priest looked worriedly at the sharp arrow hanging above his head.
"No, they will greet us."
Ye Xiaofei thought to himself, there were only two accidents, either the empire really abolished his position as general of Zhenbei and wanted him. Either the city has rebelled, and the identity of the general of Zhenbei does not work. Otherwise, with the iron law of the empire, he is the second largest general in the entire Western Regions, snub himself, get him a few sets of small shoes when he turns around, and suffocate him.
Squeak squeakββββ
The heavy city gate slowly opened, and a group of red-armored soldiers stepped on powerful steps, sonorously coming. The Moore priest hurriedly turned sideways slightly, hiding behind Ye Xiaofei. Although he is a high-level member of the Ice Clan, his strength is not very good, and unlike the elders, who have been on the battlefield for a long time, plus these red-armored soldiers are indeed a bit of a tiger man.
After the red-armored soldiers finished lining up, several generals in full armor walked in unison and saluted in unison.
"Yanmen Pass, the general who guards the city, Xu Xiong, together with the deputy general Xu Hu and other main generals, see the general of Zhenbei!"
It wasn't until this moment that Ye Xiaofei was completely relieved. He is not wanted by the Empire, and it seems that the matter of stealing the lightning ship was suppressed by the general Zhao Gou, and the Empire still does not know. Otherwise, he will be greeted by ten thousand arrows, not by a sandwich.
"The generals have worked hard to guard the borders of the empire, and they have worked hard." The crisis is over, the mood is happy, and he is not dignified and seems approachable.
"The general stuck to Loulan City, turned the tide and thwarted the rebel conspiracy, and the thirty-six cities in the Western Regions were able to be safe and sound. In front of the great general, we are simply insignificant. β
"Haha, General Xu Xiong praised it. Well, I've forgotten about the point of the arrow at me just now. β
"Thank you, General, please inside."
Most of the border cities of the empire did not have city lords, and the military, political and security departments were also managed by the local supreme governors, of course, money and food were managed by special personnel sent by the imperial capital, directly responsible to the imperial capital, and not under the management of local military governors. Of course, there are not many military governors who dare to take care of them, otherwise these people will blow the wind in their ears to the imperial capital, and if the local governor is not hard enough in the background, he will be easily replaced by the imperial capital.
For example, so-and-so has recently been abnormal, and there are signs of mutiny. If no one speaks, they will almost step down.
Ye Xiaofei followed Xu Xiong to the city tower and sat down as the guest of honor.
"General, please be seated."
The left is respectful, the right is subordinate, Ye Xiaofei is not deeply involved in officialdom, and this unspoken rule is still understood. Xu Xiong is the director of the city and should be on the left. Let him sit on the right. He gave way to the left.
Ye Xiaofei waved his hand slightly, walked straight to the right seat, and said at the same time: "If you are not in your position, you don't know its politics." General Xu, please take a seat. β
As soon as his words fell, Xu Xiong was slightly stunned, but there was a sigh from his subordinates. In their opinion, this is pushing, and they don't want to get into trouble.
Xu Xiong's expression darkened, but he quickly covered it up again.
"General, please, I don't know who this is?"
He was referring to the Moore Sacrifice of the Ice Clan who was following behind Ye Xiaofei.
Ye Xiaofei groaned slightly, and solemnly said with the excuse that had already been prepared: "The great rebellion that affected the thirty-six cities in the Western Regions, the empire was very angry, and found that the Titan Giant was involved in it, hiding in the northern frontier, and he would have been ordered to kill it. Fortunately, with the help of the Ice Clan, they successfully slew the Titans. They admired the strength of the empire and were willing to submit to it, so I brought them back and proclaimed the majesty of the empire. β
"I see," General Xu Xiong nodded slightly, turned his head to the lieutenant general, and said, "What are you waiting for?" Lift your guard, see what the Ice Clan people need, and send them over quickly. β
Deputy General Xu Hu understood that Xu Xiong was well-intentioned, but he also said that he would not let the Ice Clan people enter the city easily, after all, Yanmen Pass is too important, and once it falls, it will inevitably become a sinner through the ages.
Ye Xiaofei naturally heard the subtext, but he didn't know it, and let Xu Hu leave the arrangement, as for lifting the guard, naturally it would not be lifted completely.
"General Xu, the Ice Clan has traveled a long way, the food has run out, and they have been attacked by a powerful group of fierce beasts, and there are many wounded. Can there be a pastoral doctor to rescue her? β
"This!"
Pastoral medicine is a very precious resource, where will a good pastoral doctor come to the border to endure hardships, any city can eat and drink spicy, naturally, Yanmen Guancheng pastoral medicine is in short supply, and even become a baby pimple. Send out all the pastoral doctors?
"Well, since the general needs it. Someone came, and all the pastoral doctors were mobilized to go out of the city to treat the wounded. β
"My lord, medicine ββββ"
A kind reminder from others made Xu Xiong's face tangled all of a sudden.
"General Xu, are you in trouble?"
Ye Xiaofei was very puzzled, a non-combat unit like a pastoral doctor, went out to save people instead of fighting, how could it seem that he had stumped a border city general, which made him look entangled.
"Don't worry, general, there is no problem."
General Xu Xiong ordered again, this time to no one objected, but the expressions of the men sitting below began to become unnatural.
"These guys, how do you give me the feeling of being a fat man with a swollen face?"
He had doubts in his heart, but his face did not show the slightest hint.
"General Xu, I will immediately go back to the camp to arrange, and together with the pastoral doctor, I will start the rescue immediately."
If you want to know the answer, you can't get the answer from these people's mouths, and it is very unrealistic for the dignified border city general to let him say his embarrassment in front of him.
"General, leaving so soon?"
