Chapter 262: How did it come so quickly?
The sky had not yet dawned, and Yan Xi, who was resting in the guest room of the City Lord's Mansion, was awakened by the feeling of shaking the mountains for a while. opened his eyes and looked at the soft collapse in the room, Xiao Zhihan, who was supposed to rest here, had already gotten up and left.
Quickly put on his clothes, shoes and socks, picked up a handful of water from the washbasin, wiped his face, and cleaned up briefly, Yan Xi opened the door and walked out.
Because of Xiao Zhihan's previous strategy, all the people in Wan'an City were sent into the mountains that stretched for thousands of miles behind Wan'an City in advance, and the people who served in the City Lord's Mansion were naturally among them. Yan Xi came out of the room and walked out of the City Lord's Mansion all the way, but he didn't see half a figure in the City Lord's Mansion.
The street was empty, with doors and windows closed, garbage piled up on the corners that hadn't been cleaned up for days, and a few notices that had been posted on the walls were blown up by the wind and drifted in the air. Everywhere you look, there is a scene of depression.
If it weren't for the familiar environment in front of him and some faint voices from the side of the city tower, Yan Xi even had the illusion that he had crossed over again.
The feeling of shaking the mountains that woke her up came again, and Yan Xi suddenly had a bad premonition in her heart. didn't have time to think about it, Yan Xi rushed towards the location of the city tower.
On the tower, there are less than a thousand soldiers, holding longbows, drawing arrows and strings, aiming at the bottom of the tower, just waiting for the enemy to enter the firing range, the sharp arrows will whizz away, penetrating the enemy's throat.
Standing on a high place, the feeling of the earth shaking became more and more intense. Yan Xi walked to the city wall with a bad face and looked into the distance.
I saw a black oppressive piece in the distance, which was advancing towards Wan'an City little by little. It's like the dark clouds that overwhelm people before the storm. Wherever the dark clouds passed, dust swept up in an instant.
Yan Xi squinted her eyes and looked carefully. I saw that the one who was dusty was clearly a group of elephant soldiers who were opening the way. These elephants, though not as large as the giant elephant that Hadmi rode that day, were not too far behind. There were hundreds of them.
Immediately behind the elephant soldier was a group of wolf soldiers. In the hands of each wolf soldier, there is a hungry wolf with red eyes. Those hungry wolves opened their mouths and bared their teeth, saliva dripping from their fangs, and they couldn't stop their hearts from trembling after just a few glances.
After that, there was a black oppression, and nothing could be seen except for the occasional tiger roar. Even Yan Xi, who has excellent eyesight, can hardly see what is hidden behind the thousands of elephant soldiers and tens of thousands of wolf soldiers.
But it is precisely because she can't see it that Yan Xi is more sensitive to the insight of danger. Looking behind the wolf soldier, Yan Xi inexplicably felt a chill in her body, and the hairs on her arms stood on end, as if she was silently warning her that there was a shocking danger hidden in that invisible place.
Flocks of crows hovered in the sky, and one wail after another came out of their mouths, as if they had seen the sea of corpses and blood in the near future, and sang funeral songs in advance for those who were about to be buried here.
Yan Xi's face sank, and he took his eyes off the Southern Xinjiang army that was getting closer and closer under the city tower, and walked towards Xiao Zhihan.
Walking to Xiao Zhihan's side, Yan Xi asked in a low voice, "How did they come so fast?" ”
According to their previous calculations, the army of the king of Nanjiang should be two or three days before it arrives under Wan'an City.
Xiao Zhihan looked at the southern Xinjiang army under the city tower without saying a word, and his face was a little gloomy.
Liu Shaoqing, who was standing beside Xiao Zhihan, and several Wan'an City guards, their faces were so white that they could hardly see blood.
"My God, has this king of Southern Xinjiang received all the fierce beasts in Southern Xinjiang under his command? How can this be fought! I'm afraid that before we have time to swing our swords, we will be torn apart by these fierce beasts! Looking at the fierce beasts in the distance who were willing to be driven by the soldiers of the king of southern Xinjiang, a general with a scar on his face said with a suffocated face.
"Are there wolves behind those elephants? I guess I've been hungry for a long time! Is this the king of Nanjiang planning to let the people of Wan'an City make lunch for these hungry wolves of his? Another general with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks couldn't help but tremble as he looked at the southern Xinjiang army that was getting closer and closer under the city.
Even Liu Shaoqing, who poured chicken soup and chicken blood into the soldiers of Wan'an City all day long, looked at the army getting closer and closer under the city tower with his mouth half-open at this time, and was speechless for a long time.
At this moment, he was only glad that Yan Xi went to him late at night that night and forced him to agree to Xiao Zhihan's plan. If he is stubborn and leaves all the 20,000 soldiers in Wan'an City here to defend it, once he faces the group of fierce beasts under the city, he is afraid that they will not be able to last even an hour.
After all, only 20,000 people were sent to the mouths of nearly 100,000 fierce beasts, I'm afraid it won't even be enough to stuff the teeth!
A fox cry sounded, Yan Xi turned her head to look, and saw Da Bai, who followed her up to the city tower, and the fox fur on her whole body stood up at this time. Around the little fox's body, there was a faint sense of fear. Seeing Yan Xi looking at it, Da Bai rushed towards Yan Xi without thinking about it, and the fox's head desperately drilled into Yan Xi's arms.
Da Bai is an animal, and his perception of danger is even more sensitive than Yan Xi. What's more, Da Bai is still a naturally timid fox, and the fear in his heart has long made him forget the majesty of the last time he faced Hadmi.
Seeing that Da Bai didn't run away for his life this time, Yan Xi rubbed its head with relief and protected it tightly.
Fang Qi, who was strictly protected by several personal guards, looked at the southern general's army under the city tower, and a little excitement crossed his eyes. His face pretended to be afraid, and he said to Yan Xi full of complaints, "Until now, you are still protecting this fox, if it weren't for it, how could Wan'an City fall into such a predicament!" ”
As soon as Fang Qi's words were finished, the soldiers on the city tower, who were less than a thousand people, at least generally looked at Yan Xi with a little dissatisfaction in their eyes.
Yan Xi glanced at Fang Qi coldly and did not speak.
At this juncture when the war is about to begin, if she and Fang Qi are in conflict, it will only be the supreme commander here, Xiao Zhihan, who will be embarrassed.
"Don't have anything to say?" Fang Qi continued to say defiantly, "Isn't this fox of yours very capable on weekdays? Now let's do something about it! Isn't it going to get bigger? You make it bigger, go and roar in front of the beasts downstairs, and maybe you can scare them back! ”
Saying this, Fang Qi's face showed a hint of curiosity, as if he really wanted to try to see if Da Bai could scare those fierce beasts of the King of Southern Xinjiang back. He tilted his head and said to one of the guards beside him, "You, go and throw that fox down." ”
The guard nodded, and walked towards Yan Xi's position.
Although Da Bai couldn't speak, he was also a spirit fox who only understood human nature, so he naturally listened to all of Fang Qi's words. At this time, seeing the guard coming over, the big white bared his teeth and roared at the guard, and the fox body suddenly burst out of Yan Xi's arms, and pounced on the guard's face door with lightning speed.
Before the guard could react, it was dark in front of him. Then, the body received a powerful force of impact and fell backwards violently. Before he could recover from the pain from the back of his head hitting the ground, he felt a chill on his neck. The guards who were thrown to the ground by Da Bai were startled, and they only felt that there was a murderous aura enveloping him. As long as he dared to move, his life would be immediately taken by the owner of this murderous intent.
"Dabai, come back!" Yan Xi's voice came, and he was about to scratch the big white of the guard's neck on the ground with his sharp fox claws, but he reluctantly let go of the fox claws and walked towards Yan Xi's side.
The guard lying on the ground saw the light in his eyes again, and his body was light. But the murderous aura that surrounds him still looms.
"How dare you condone this fox!" Fang Qi's face turned pale from being shocked by Fang Cai's scene, and his fingers trembled slightly. At this time, seeing that Da Bai was called back by Yan Xi, his face changed, and he glared at Yan Xi and scolded angrily.
Seeing the big white bared teeth grinning at him, Fang Qi couldn't help but take a step back.
Yan Xi's fox is so weird, not only can it get bigger and smaller, but it's also so fast! If this fox wants his life, even if he has the protection of these guards by his side, it is estimated that it will be difficult to hide!
Looking at the fear in Fang Qi's eyes, Yan Xi sneered and said to Fang Qi, "Fang Jianjun, Da Bai is a little wild, it's better not to provoke it!" If its ferocity is provoked, even if I am here, I may not be able to contain it. ”
"You ......" Fang Qi heard the intimidation in Yan Xi's words, stretched out his hand and pointed at Yan Xi, blowing his beard angrily and glaring.
However, Yan Xi ignored him, and his eyes had already been taken away from him, and he had already shifted his gaze to the Southern Xinjiang army that was getting closer and closer under the city tower.
"What are those on the ground?" There was an exclamation from the castle tower, and all eyes were looking down the castle tower.
I saw that under the feet of the elephant soldier, there was also a black oppressive patch, and it was crawling forward rapidly.
"It's snakes, and they're all snakes!"
Seeing what was under the feet of the elephant soldiers, the castle tower instantly boiled. A few generals who knew Xiao Zhihan's strategy in advance could barely suppress the panic in their hearts, but those soldiers who didn't know anything about the Evil Ghost Cliff instantly panicked.
"Everyone calm down, you are the guards of Wan'an City, and you are guarding the people of Xiao Guo behind you. It's just some inhuman beast, where is it worth fearing! Liu Shaoqing stood up and loudly controlled the order on the city tower. Think of the fathers and villagers in the family, they are still waiting for us to fight for their hope of survival! …… Brothers, hold your longbows tightly, aim at the throats of these beasts, and use their blood to avenge our robes who died on the battlefield! ”
"Kill! Kill! Kill! Listening to Liu Shaoqing's blood-boiling words, the soldiers on the city tower let out an angry roar. Although there were less than a thousand people, the shouting and killing sound came from one place, causing the southern Xinjiang army that was constantly moving forward to pause for a moment.
The soldiers on the city tower drew their longbows in their hands, and the arrows were tightly aimed at the beasts driven by the soldiers of southern Xinjiang under the city tower, and when they entered the shooting range, hundreds of arrows shot out violently, and almost none of them missed.
After the front team shot out the arrows in their hands, the rear team immediately switched, and hundreds of arrows attacked the southern Xinjiang army from the towers of Wan'an City.
