Chapter 608: Pessimistic Phoenix
The lights in the barracks of the city tower in Phoenix City were bright, but it was as oppressive as death. Everyone's hearts seemed to be pressed against a boulder, and the Daredevil army immediately came to the city, and what awaited them might be the destruction of the city.
In the main account barracks, General Zhaoyi stared at the map around Phoenix City, but the beautiful phoenix eyes were already covered with bloodshots. She'd been staring at the map for a long time, but Phoenix was a lonely city at the moment. There is no geographical advantage, no terrain to rely on, not even a position to block the Daredevil army.
All you can rely on is this vast Phoenix. But can Phoenix withstand the Daredevil's frenzied bombardment?
Zhaoyi sighed softly and shook his head silently, if the rune enchantment could resist the divine artillery, then the previous Qingshan City would not be breached, and the next one would be Phoenix City. Zhaoyi estimated that the Daredevil Army would be in the city at the latest, and she hadn't thought of any effective way until now.
"General Zhaoyi, is there really no way?" asked Xuanzhou Taishou Xun with a look of anticipation.
Xun Jian is already very old, and his hair is all white in his sixties. And this year is also the last year of his term, as long as this year is over, he can return to his hometown next year. Xun Jian's only hope is that everything will be safe during his tenure. But unexpectedly, at this moment, it is not guaranteed at the last moment.
Phoenix City cannot be lost, and it is even more impossible for Xun Jian to lose. He is the envoy of a state, and he is a feudal official. Once Phoenix City was lost, Xuanzhou was declared to have fallen. And the imperial court lost Xuanzhou in his hands.
For the imperial court, this is a shame that will go down in history, and for him Xun Jian, he will be a sinner who will be stinking for 10,000 years. Although Xun Jian had no merits in his life, he was also conscientious and did not make any mistakes. And in the last year of his term, he was unwilling to carry all this inexplicable pot on his back, and he was unwilling!
"There's no terrain to lean on, there's no chance of winning. We retreated from Yokiyo Mansion to Phoenix, and now there is no way back. If you retreat, you will hand over Xuanzhou to others. So tonight, we have no choice but to fight to the death!"
"Hey—life and death are nothing, but honor and disgrace are greater than heaven. If Phoenix City is broken, the old man can only die in the city, and when the time comes, I hope that General Zhaoyi will say a word to Princess Changle that Xun Jian has failed the emperor, but it has not disgraced the court. Xun Jianai was born in Phoenix and died in Phoenix!"
"It's too early to talk about life and death, our only hope is that the princess will come back as soon as possible, as long as the princess can return to Tongsha Castle before dawn, the Daredevil army will retreat without a fight. Therefore, our mission must be to stop the Daredevil Army, as long as we can delay it for two days, Phoenix City will be saved!"
"I think it should be okay to hold on for two days!" Zhaoyi's voice had just landed, and a voice sounded from outside the door. This is a military aircraft powerhouse, and it makes people come to the door silently and let people hear their conversations? Zhaoyi's face instantly turned dark.
The door opened, and Ning Yue and Twilight slowly stepped into the room. In an instant, Zhaoyi's face changed suddenly, and his eyes trembled with surprise.
Although Zhaoyi had never seen Ning Yue, the black phoenix had already brought back Ning Yue's portrait when she returned. All the generals of the Phoenix Army saw Ning Yue's appearance, and naturally Zhaoyi recognized Ning Yue at the first time.
The Heavenly Shogunate is titled God Catching Ghost Fox, the only son of Princess Jiaoyang. The jade tree is in the wind, and it is amazing. At a young age, he has already reached the realm of martial arts and has become one of the few people in the world, and what is even more rare is that their young master is also resourceful, and the branch of the Xuanyin Sect that is hidden deep under the rain and clouds in the barren state is wiped out in an instant.
Everything about Ning Yue showed the world that he was extraordinary, and the better Ning Yue was, the more urgent the Phoenix Army was for Ning Yue. They have waited far too long, like fanatical believers waiting for their king to return. turned all the nostalgia for Princess Jiaoyang into missing Ning Yue.
"Who are you?Who let you in?" Xun Jian suddenly stood up and drank to Ning Yue. Although Ning Yue was wearing a flying fish suit, Ning Yue was so young. In Xun Jian's old-fashioned consciousness, he would not have thought that there was a kind of person who could not be measured by age.
Therefore, Xun Jian took it for granted that Ning Yue was a bronze medal in the Heavenly Shogunate...... At most, the silver medal can't catch any more!
"Zhaoyi, the general of the Phoenix Army, under him, meet the young master. Why is the young master here?Is it that the imperial court has already received our request for help?" Zhaoyi's knock suddenly made Xun Jian open his mouth wide with a look of hell.
It is no longer a matter whether the court has received a request for help, the most important thing is what is the young master? Zhaoyi is the general of the Phoenix Army, and the one who can make it bow down is Princess Changle in addition to the emperor. Who is this young man in front of him? Why can General Zhaoyi be seen? Could it be that the Phoenix Army also wants to emulate the Daredevil Army?
"The imperial court didn't receive your letter for help so quickly, after all, the emperor couldn't have imagined that Luo Tiancheng would directly attack Xuanzhou with a false shot. However, General Gongziyu is worthy of his name as a wise general, and he expects that the enemy's first opportunity has been calculated to Luo Tiancheng's move, so please ask me to come to help. ”
"With the young master here, Phoenix should be worry-free. Zhaoyi can finally breathe a sigh of relief!" "Zhaoyi is not slapping Ning Yue's sycophants with this, because she knows better than anyone that Ning Yue is an out-and-out martial arts master, and her young lady is also an out-and-out martial arts master. Two martial arts masters are enough to be worth thousands of troops. With such help, what kind of enemy can't deal with?
"Wait!" Xun Jian on the side suddenly interrupted the conversation between Ning Yue excitedly, "Since Gongzi Yu had already calculated that Luo Tiancheng would attack Xuanzhou, why didn't he inform the imperial court in advance, and why didn't we receive a little reminder in advance? Don't you know that more than a dozen cities in Xuanzhou have been destroyed, and how many families have been broken and their wives have been scattered?"
Ning Yue frowned slightly, did this old man eat gunpowder? As soon as he came up, he questioned aggressively? Although he was unhappy in his heart, there was a faint smile on his face, "Dare to ask this old gentleman is Lord Xun Jian of Xuanzhou Jiedu?"
"It's this official, boy, what position do you hold in the Heavenly Shogunate?" Xun Jian raised his head slightly, and asked with a proud face.
"Oh, in Xia Bucai, the Heavenly Shogunate is titled the God Ghost Fox ......" Ning Yue looked at Xun Jian's gradually stiffened face with a smile, and the smile on his face suddenly retracted, "Reminder? Even we only learned about the Dareddemon Army's wolf ambitions in the middle of the night last night." Gongziyu also learned about the Daredevil mutiny this morning, do you think we have time to remind you?
Or do you think General Gongziyu can tell the court without a little evidence and just guess that the Night Demon Army will attack Xuanzhou? What if the Night Demon Army does not attack Xuanzhou but takes Lizhou directly?"
"This ......" Xun Jian's face suddenly turned dark, but he was embarrassed to say a word.
"Gongziyu can think of the pressure encountered in Xuanzhou, and it is good for me to come thousands of miles to the rescue. You must know that General Gongziyu's responsibility lies in leaving the state. Not much to say, I don't know anything about war, and I'm a soldier here. General Zhaoyi has any arrangement, just say. ”
"Young Master, can you destroy the Night Demon Army's artillery position?" Zhaoyi asked with a look of anticipation in her eyes.
"I'm afraid this is difficult! The Night Demon Army not only has artillery, but also the Xuanyin Sect Master and the Water Moon Palace Lord accompanying the army. The martial arts of the two of them are unpredictable, and the destruction of Qingshan City is also the handiwork of the Xuanyin Sect Master. Therefore, if the Xuanyin Sect Master and the Water Moon Palace Master obstruct it, even me and Duxue may not be able to destroy Luo Tiancheng's artillery. Saying...... Doesn't the Phoenix Army have artillery?"
"Yes, but not much! after all...... It's no secret that the imperial court has been guarding against the Phoenix Army!"
"If you have it, why don't you return fire with artillery?" Ning Yue asked with some puzzlement.
"But...... No way!"
"Why?"
"The management of artillery is very strict, and the artillery is sealed in a special warehouse in the military camp on weekdays, and only the princess can open the warehouse with a Fuhu in her hand, and no one else can get close. The artillery depot has its own defensive enchantment, and anyone who comes close will be attacked by the enchantment. So ......"
"Can you forcibly break the barrier?" Ning Yue asked with a frown.
"No, I thought about that when I was designing the enchantment. Once someone forcibly breaks the barrier, the moment the barrier is broken, the self-destruct mechanism will be detonated. When the time comes, not only will we not be able to get artillery, but we will ......"
"Damn, which bastard thought of it!" Ning Yue suddenly jumped up, should the protection of the artillery be so ruthless? Except for Princess Changle to open it herself, there is really no one who can extract the artillery.
"And...... Even if we can extract artillery, far water will not be able to save close fire. The artillery warehouse was hidden in the barracks of Tonsha Castle. Phoenix doesn't have it either. Zhaoyi's last words suddenly made Ning Yue hold the grass in her throat.
With a long breath of turbidity, Ning Yue gently pulled out a chair and sat down, "Then it seems that I can only do my best!"
"No...... Oh no......" As soon as Ning Yue's words fell, there was another rush of footsteps outside the door. The visitor suddenly slammed down the door, and a figure rushed into the room and screamed.
Ning Yue and Zhaoyi's brows furrowed suddenly, but they didn't have a seizure. However, the person who came was slightly stunned after seeing Ning Yue and Qian Duxue, and opened his mouth, "Who are they?"
"It doesn't matter who they are, General Duan, didn't you lead the scouts to investigate the movements of the Night Demon Army? What? Could it be that the arrival of the Night Demon Army was advanced?" Zhao Yi asked coldly with a glint in his eyes.
However, Ning Yue looked at this Duan-looking general with a curious expression, and he was also the main general of the defenders who had heard that he had personally led people to investigate the movements of the Night Demon Army. In other words, it's no wonder that he dared to personally explore the Night Demon Army, and his cultivation was actually good. In Ning Yue's eyes, this General Duan's talent really shouldn't have such cultivation at this age. Obviously, this is a shit luck encounter.
"No! the Daredevil are not coming...... "The foreheads of the three of them urged the black line in unison. Don't you come? What's wrong?
