Chapter 321: Traitor
After Dugu Sword assassinated Lexa with one sword, the single Dujian stood in front of the city gate, his blood condensed into a sword, even if he didn't move at all, no one dared to step forward.
"Good!"
On the city tower, the white father-in-law and the soldiers guarding the city saw the divine power of Dugu Sword, and shouted happily, although the casualties were heavy, but the momentum did not decrease but rose, and the cheers of the soldiers made the rebels even more frightened.
As soon as the main general died, the remaining rebels all hesitated, and some even threw away their weapons in fright.
In the hearts of the rebels, Dugu Jian was too terrifying, he killed Yingye with a single sword, and in less than an hour, he killed nearly 5,000 soldiers, proving to everyone the lethality of a strong warrior.
"Who else!" Dugu Jian roared at the crowd, causing the remaining rebels to completely lose their courage.
"Surrender, we surrender!" When one person said the voice of surrender, the rest of the people followed suit, and soon the east-west alliance army laid down their weapons and knelt on the ground, waiting for the fall of Dugujian.
"Whew!" Dugu Jian finally breathed a sigh of relief, he was actually strong on the outside, and the true qi in his body had long been exhausted, and he could still stand with the support of his tenacious will.
After all, Dugu Sword's cultivation is not comparable to the Northern Thunder, and killing five thousand soldiers with a single sword is already his limit, if the rebels hold on for a while, I am afraid he will die of exhaustion.
Bai Gonggong also seemed to see the state of Dugu Jian, and hurriedly arranged for someone to collect the rebels' weapons and detain the rebels outside the east gate, and because the rebels lost their courage, Bai Gonggong successfully surrendered more than 10,000 soldiers with his weak troops.
The east gate stopped, and Mu Qingyun at the main gate soon got the news, he had been working at the main gate for a long time, and he was already impatient, and now there was bad news from the east gate, which made him even more upset.
Mu Qingyun didn't expect that King Yan would resist his 30,000 soldiers with only 2,000 recruits in his hands, and now King Yan used peerless magic skills to freeze the main gate, so that he had no chance at all.
"Retreat!" Although reluctant, Mu Qingyun still gave the order to retreat, and after the southern army scattered nearly 2,000 corpses, he retreated a mile and rested in place, Mu Qingyun was ready to fight again tomorrow.
Qiu Yan, who was standing on the city tower, saw the southern army retreating, and at the same time breathed a sigh of relief, in this offensive and defensive battle, the defenders did not fall to the advantage, their own limited strength consumption was huge, Qiu Yan himself was too wasted, his face was pale, if Mu Qingyun insisted for a while, I am afraid that Yecheng would be broken.
However, the situation is still extremely ineffective against Qiu Yan, the defenders have reached the limit, but the southern army still has more than 20,000 troops undamaged, and the strength and weakness can be seen by a discerning person at once.
After the southern army retreated, Qiu Yan did not rest, but began to deal with the aftermath, clean up the battlefield, repair the city wall, and properly arrange the collected soldiers.
After a day of defense, the defenders had less than 2,000 soldiers of 3,000, and almost all of them were wounded, but because of Qiu Yan and Dugu Jian's might, the morale of the defenders was also great.
However, the materials used by the defenders for defense have been dwarfed, and the fire oil and arrows have been consumed dramatically, so Qiu Yan has no choice but to collect household vegetable oil from the people in the city, and use all the wood that can be used to make arrows.
Although the people in the city were panicked, they could see Qiu Yan, the fake king of Yan, desperate for himself, personally going into battle to kill the enemy and resist the southern army, and he was stable for a while, and there was no chaos, but there was some change on the minister's side.
The few people of the guards saw the offensive and defensive battle between Qiu Yan and the southern army today, and no one had confidence in Yecheng, the southern army had obvious advantages, and the destruction of Yecheng City was only in the maki.
"We can't defend Yecheng to the death, otherwise we will all be doomed!" The matter has completely exceeded the expectations of the guards, and now Yecheng is powerless to return to the sky, but all they want to do is to protect themselves.
"Mu Qingyun, this bastard, turned his face and didn't recognize anyone, and he refused to let him quit!" Behach said hatefully.
Before Mu Qingyun came to Yecheng, Yan Wei contacted him, hoping that he would temporarily withdraw from the army, and Yan Wei said that he would find a way to take Yecheng and then lead the southern army into the city.
Unexpectedly, Mu Qingyun directly rejected the proposal of the guards and sent troops to attack the city.
Mu Qingyun is now in power, how can he care about the guard.
"How do we handle ourselves now?" Hong Guang was embarrassed.
"Why don't we go and beg Mu Qingyun, hoping that he will give us a way to live!" Murong Yi, as a member of the royal family, did not think about protecting the country at this time, but wanted to shamelessly beg the rebels, and Hong Guangbi immediately showed a mocking sneer.
"Lord Murong doesn't have to work in vain, Mu Qingyun suffered heavy losses in the siege today, I'm afraid he already hates the Murong clan to the core, even if he has the heart to let you go, I'm afraid his soldiers won't let you get your wish!"
Murong Yi panicked when he heard this: "Then what should I do?"
After hearing Hong Guangbi's mocking words, Yan Wei did not panic like Murong Yi, but said calmly.
"I'm afraid that our people are the same as Lord Murong, can you, Lord Hong, also escape?"
"Mu Qingyun now makes it clear that he wants to be the emperor himself, and the first thing he will do after coming to power is probably to attack us who are very rich and raise military funds!"
Several people began to panic, and now there were only two paths in front of them.
The first is to help King Yan resist the southern army, but looking at the posture of today's offensive and defensive battles, it is only a matter of time before the southern army breaks through the city.
The second is to help Mu Qingyun become the emperor, maybe he can spare their lives for the sake of Conglong's merits, but this road is still risky, once Mu Qingyun turns his face and denies people, I am afraid that these corrupt officials will be doomed.
"Mu Qingyun rejected us before, and now that we help him, will he be grateful?" Murong Yi said worriedly.
Behaqi replied: "At this time and that time, Mu Qingyun underestimated the enemy before, thinking that he could easily take Yecheng, but he didn't expect Yecheng's counterattack to be so strong!"
"Now if he wants to take Yecheng, he will definitely suffer heavy losses, what can he do to resist the Northern Thunder of the Hui Army!"
"It's still the old man who can see it through!" Yan Wei smiled: "It's just that how can we help Mu Qingyun take Yecheng?"
A few people quickly made up their minds to help Mu Qingyun, after all, King Yan had long had the intention to deal with these corrupt officials, no matter how King Yan won or lost, they would not end well, since this was the case, it was better to gamble on Mu Qingyun's character.
Behachi lowered his head and thought for a while, before he said slowly: "Today, I see that the defenders can defend the southern army, all thanks to Your Majesty's miraculous skills, as long as Your Majesty has an accident, the southern army will definitely be able to break through Yecheng!"
"Your Majesty's martial arts are really amazing, how can we kill him!" The guard asked.
Today, Qiu Yan showed a small hand on the top of the city tower, and immediately shocked both the enemy and us, and the guards didn't have the ability to kill him.
Behachi said with a smile: "There is no need to kill Your Majesty, as long as we can delay him for a while and make him too late to defend the city, Mu Qingyun will naturally help us solve the rest of the matter!"
Several people discussed countermeasures with a wicked smile on their faces, just waiting for Mu Qingyun to attack the city again tomorrow.
