In order to ensure safety and prevent accidents, the sentry captain sent 30 signal soldiers at one time, divided into three teams, to rush back to Icheon Castle from three different routes. Two of the teams took the main road, which was very fast, and it took about 20 minutes to arrive. There is also a path that is less well known and twice as far as the distance.

Sure enough, on the way back to Icheon City, the two teams of signal soldiers who were taking the main road encountered an ambush and were completely annihilated. In other words, enemy scouts and vanguard units have already infiltrated the city of Icheon.

Fortunately, a group of signal soldiers who walked the small road successfully reached Icheon Castle.

The city lord of Icheon City successfully got the news of the border incident, and without any further delay, he immediately ordered the whole city to be on alert and prepare for defense. At the same time, the castle lord also sent 10 teams of reconnaissance guards, each team of 100 people, to investigate the surrounding anomalies and inform the surrounding cities of the enemy attack information by the way.

The deputy city lord said uneasily: "City lord, do you want to report the situation to Wangcheng?" ”

"Don't worry, at present, we have confirmed the situation of the enemy army with our own eyes, and we don't know which force is attacking, so we don't have to alarm the central government for the time being." The city lord said calmly.

An hour later, one of the scouts returned to Icheon Castle without incident, and they reported to the city lord in a panic, "It's not good, it's Ao Lie who is attacking this time. ”

"Ao Lie? Are you sure? The city lord shouted in shock.

"That's right, it's Ao Lie's banner, they dispatched at least 500,000 troops this time, attacking Icheon City, Xuan'en City, and Sufeng City at the same time, the scale is unprecedented."

"It's actually Ao Lie, and he actually fought without declaring it." The city lord suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, not knowing what to do.

"City Lord, calm down, for now, let's send a signal corps to report this situation to the central government."

"Well, you can do it quickly."

After everyone left the office, the city lord slowly got up and came to the window, looking at the glass outside the floor-to-ceiling window, thoughtful and sad.

He recalled the history of his struggle, and finally climbed to today's position step by step, but he didn't expect that the position of the city lord was not yet hot, and a big war came.

At present, there are only 20,000 troops in Icheon City, and it is impossible to resist Ao Lie's army. Under normal circumstances, no city lord is allowed to abandon the city and flee unless there is an order from the central government to abandon the city and evacuate. At present, the army of Ao Lie is menacing, and at the current speed, it will definitely be in the afternoon to attack the city of Icheon. Before that, the central government didn't have time to get the information here. And even if the central government got the information, it would not be possible to order the abandonment of the city. After all, only by holding on to resist can you buy time for other cities to prepare and defend.

"Alas, it seems that my old life may be explained in this city like this." The city lord of Icheon City looked up to the sky and sighed.

Two hours later, the army of Ao Yeol reached the east gate of Icheon Castle, and the siege force carried out a three-hour onslaught on Icheon Castle. After losing tens of thousands of troops, Ao Lie's army successfully broke through the city.

After the city was broken, the defenders, under the leadership of the lord of Icheon Castle, still put up a desperate resistance.

The birdman Wei Jing descended from the sky, seized the opportunity, captured the city lord, and flew high into the air with him. The city lord's hands were clenched by powerful claws, and he couldn't move. And in the high sky, it is the area where the birdman Wei Jing is best at, so the city lord is powerless to resist at all.

Thousands of meters above the sky, the birdman Wei Jing threw the city lord down.

The city lord's descent speed is getting faster and faster, and this set of intermediate armor on his body is simply not enough to withstand such an impact. Unless you just descend to a meadow or wetland, you will have less luck.

The city lord glanced down and shook his head helplessly.

"It seems that God does not favor me either."

With a dull thud, the city lord slammed into the ground, and the huge impact knocked out a crater. When the smoke and dust slowly cleared, the scattered armor was splashed with the blood of the city lord.

Birdman Wei Jing descended to the ground and came in front of the city lord.

The castle lord's internal organs were exposed, but he still had a breath of relief. He couldn't speak, but his unyielding eyes seemed to tell Wei Jing: "Lao Tzu, I won't obey you." ”

"It's a hard life." Wei Jing sneered, pulled out his dagger, and cut off the city lord's head.

The death of the lord of the castle greatly demoralized the defenders, who scattered as they resisted. When the situation was out of control, the deputy city lord gave a decisive order and the whole army retreated.

In the end, of the 20,000 defenders, as many as 10,000 were killed or wounded, and only 5,000 soldiers successfully evacuated.

At this point, Icheon Fortress was lost, and this siege lasted less than five hours.

After that, Ao Yeol's army took advantage of the victory to attack and continued to connect the small towns attached to Icheon City. At nightfall, a total of 20 large and small castles in Icheon City were lost.

At the same time, Xuan'en City and Sufeng City were lost one after another.

On the first day of the attack, the Ao Lie forces captured three cities and captured about 50 large and small cities. The loss of the three cities also means that the related industries and resources of the three cities have all fallen into the Ao Lie forces.

Ao Lie reorganized the army overnight, replenished armaments and supplies, and continued to advance eastward in the early morning of the second day.

In the eastern city of the east of the river, the central city issued an urgent order to the whole territory, all cities took advantage of the advantage of defending the city to make a desperate resistance, and only evacuated according to the situation after the city was broken, and immediately replenished into the nearby city.

On the other side, the city of the north and the city of the shade of the mountain.

Su Kou arrived overnight and met with Jiang Feng.

In the office of the military camp base, Su Koye reported to Jiang Feng the battle report from the south.

Jiang Feng was not very excited or angry after hearing this, but drank the tea very calmly: "Ao Lie really took action." ”

"Why are you so calm? We have lost three cities, the city lord of Icheon City, the city lord of Xuan'en City, and the city lord of Alkaliphong City have all been killed, can you swallow this breath? Su Koye asked unhappily.

"They are great, I will posthumously crown them as pioneer martyrs, and their families will be treated well."

"Aren't you going to do something? Do you want to let Ao Lie Hu come? ”

"We have already occupied one-third of the territory of the Northern Underworld, and if we go south at this time, the city of the Northern Underworld will be recaptured by the zombie clan, so we can't leave now."

"I know it's not time to leave, but we can't do nothing."

"You don't have to worry too much, Liming will deal with Ao Lie." Jiang Feng said calmly.

"Are you hiding something from me? How can Li Ming handle this matter alone? Su Ko said unhappily at night.

"It's not that I deliberately hide from you, it's that you didn't ask before."

"Then you say, if you can't reassure me, I will be very unhappy in this battle of the Northern Underworld, after all, the backyard is in a state of fire now."

"If Ao Lie does something, Li Ming will lead the Wudang Flying Army to attack overnight and surprise attack the hinterland of Xichuan."

"Let Li Ming lead the Wudang Flying Army? Does she have the ability? Surprise attack on the hinterland of Xichuan, do you want her to attack Ao Lie's capital? No kidding, the Wudang Flying Army is not a professional siege army, it is barely possible to hit small and medium-sized cities, but it is impossible to fight the capital. Su Koye questioned.

"Who said that he was going to attack the capital, Liming was going to attack the treasure trove city of Ao Lie, Wenchuan."
