Under the escort of the Chuxi River, everyone entered the large array safely, and soldiers inside immediately opened the city gate to greet them!

At the same time, on Chengtou Mountain, because of the arrival of more than ten array mages, the cracks in the large array were finally repaired, and the cloud beast was once again kept out of the large array.

After a fierce artillery bombardment, a rain of arrows, and the injury of the golden-backed praying mantis, the beast tide lasted for several hours and finally retreated temporarily, and the soldiers and civilians of Xiliang County finally had another chance to breathe.

At this moment, in the Xiliang County Guard's Mansion, Xiang Yungao sat in the hall, on both sides there were Beishan County Taishou Bi Hongzhang, Dongling County Taishou Chu Xihe, and Xiliang County Taishou Meng Yuezhang who had just finished commanding the battle from the front line and immediately returned after hearing the news.

On the other side sat Ma Chou, Zhu Kai, who was ridden by the snow wolf, and Qi Haowei, the commander of the Futu Iron Cavalry.

Everyone sat in the lobby, looking at Xiang Yun with a bloodstained body and a heroic face, Chu Xihe and Meng Yuezhang couldn't help but glance at each other, and there was something unbelievable in their eyes.

Especially Chu Xihe, who has seen Xiang Yun's momentum outside the city, as well as the palm that is ready to go, has a deep understanding of Xiang Yun's strength.

And when they heard about it, Xiang Yun led the Snow Wolf Rider and the Futu Iron Rider all the way to the northwest, and their eyes widened in surprise.

They naturally knew the situation in the northwest land today, the cloud beasts were rampant and dangerous, Xiang Yun and they were able to kill all the way here from the southeast, and the hardships and dangers during this period can be imagined.

Then, when it was said that Bi Hongzhang's Beishan County was destroyed, and there were only more than 1,000 soldiers and civilians in the hundreds of thousands of cities, Chu Xihe couldn't help but sigh and comfort.

"Old man Bi, don't be sad, no one wants to see Beishan County being attacked, but this beast tide is strange and dangerous, even we can't prevent it, since there are still people alive, it's a blessing!"

Bi Hongzhang nodded with a wry smile, then looked at Xiang Yun, and couldn't help but be grateful.

"I, Bi Hongzhang, was able to bring the remnants of the soldiers and civilians in the county to come here alive, all thanks to His Royal Highness the Prince to bring troops to the rescue, along the way, thanks to His Royal Highness and all the soldiers, I took good care of the soldiers and civilians of Beishan County, Bi is grateful!"

Bi Hongzhang said that he got up again and bowed deeply to Xiang Yun, Xiang Yun hurriedly got down and helped the Taishou up when he saw this.

"What do you mean by this, we have lived and died together along the way, and we are all relatives and brothers who have passed our lives, so why do you need to say thank you. In Xiang Yun's view, it was his duty to rescue Bi Hongzhang and others.

"Your Royal Highness is right, but my Bi Hongzhang is a person who admits death, His Royal Highness is willing to work so hard for the soldiers and civilians of my Beishan County, and saved our lives, from now on, my Bi Hongzhang's life is His Royal Highness, as long as His Royal Highness says a word, Bi will not give up!"

As soon as these words came out, Chu Xihe and Meng Yuezhang on the side all showed surprise, and the two glanced at each other, with deep meaning in their eyes.

The significance of making such a promise is extraordinary, and more importantly, Bi Hongzhang said that he gave his life to Xiang Yun instead of Fengyun Kingdom, and the two Taishou are human spirits, so they naturally understand the meaning.

Later, Xiang Yun learned about the casualties in the process of entering the city through Ma Chou and other generals, although it was only a short time to charge outside the city, but the casualties of the army were heavier than before, and the Futu Iron Cavalry was now 3,000 people, only more than 2,000 people remained, and the rest of the nearly 1,000 people were killed.

And the snow wolf rider lost more than 20 people, the sacrifice is not big, after all, they rushed to the front, it stands to reason that it should be the most dangerous, which shows the strength of the snow wolf rider's combat effectiveness.

After learning about the casualties of the army, Xiang Yun looked at Meng Yuezhang and Chu Xihe, and asked about the current situation in Xiliang County, and it could be seen that there was a lingering worry between the two of them, obviously the situation was not as good as imagined.

Meng Yuezhang was the first to speak: "Back to His Royal Highness, now my Xiliang County, together with the military and civilians, the officials, officials, officials, and public officials in the county, have a total of more than 2.8 million people, including more than 700,000 registered soldiers and militiamen. ”

Hearing this huge number, Xiang Yun couldn't help but be a little surprised, a county town actually accommodated nearly three million people, this number is indeed not small, the 'Chang'an City' in the previous life was claimed to be the world's first city at that time, but it was only one million people.

However, thinking about the outbreak of the beast tide, people from all over the country must have flocked to the county town to seek refuge, not to mention that there are soldiers and civilians from the two counties gathered here, and naturally there are a large number of people.

Bi Hongzhang said with envy: "Chu Dalang, you have an army of more than 700,000, no wonder Xiliang County can be impregnable!"

"Hey...... In front of His Royal Highness the Prince of the World, don't call me by my nickname!" Chu Xihe was a little annoyed, and this Bi Hongzhang shouted 'Da Lang Da Lang' one by one, which made him feel panicked.

Meng Yuezhang smiled bitterly: "Bi Taishou, you can say that you are wrong, in the face of this endless beast tide, what is the use of having more people, once these beasts attack the city, no matter how many people are just their rations." ”

"My Xiliang County has been able to hold on to the present, relying on the cloud crystal cannon, the god-destroying bow, the meteor crossbow that have been stocked in the county for many years, and the big protective array that the prince personally laid out back then. ”

Xiliang County has been an important frontier in the northwest since the founding of the Fengyun Kingdom, after all, the invisible threat of the adjacent Silver Moon Forest has always been there.

Therefore, since the founding emperor Xiang Mingyuan, Fengyun Country has hoarded a lot of cloud beast crystals and cloud crystals in Xiliang County, and a large number of heavy city defense weapons, so that when the beast tide broke out, although Xiliang County was on the cusp, the county town could still stand.

"Meng Taishou, how long do you estimate that the county seat of Xiliang County will be able to hold on?" Xiang Yun directly asked the most critical question.

Meng Yuezhang and Chu Xihe glanced at each other, and after a little estimate, Meng Yuezhang replied: "Seven days, seven days at most!"

"What!" Bi Hongzhang said in surprise: "You Xiliang County have so many stocks of weapons and ammunition, how can you only last for seven days?"

Chu Xihe sighed and said: "Don't you know, these cloud beasts are attacking the county city day and night endlessly, even if there are more resources, they can't withstand this kind of consumption, and the biggest problem is not the combat readiness resources, but the more important thing is that there are more than two million mouths in the city, where is there so much food distributed to so many people in Xiliang County?"

"Isn't there still a cloud beast, the cloud beast that was killed should be used as food backup. Bi Hongzhang asked.

"Hmph, these cloud beasts are very cunning, once the war is over, they will take away the corpses of the same kind, where will they be left to us, there is already a shortage of food in the city, Lao Meng and I are helpless now, seven days is already a conservative estimate, if the number of cloud beasts in the next wave increases, the pressure increases, this time will be shortened. ”

"This ......" Bi Hongzhang's face turned pale for a while, he thought that he would be able to get shelter when he came to Xiliang County with the soldiers and civilians of Beishan County, but he didn't expect that the county seat of Xiliang County was about to be unable to support it.

"Hey......" everyone sighed again and again, and the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became solemn.

After Xiang Yun learned about the situation in Xiliang County, he was also worried, but he still asked the question he was most concerned about, "Meng Taishou, do you know what the situation in Qin Feng City is now?"

"Qin Feng City!" As soon as they heard these three words, everyone immediately reacted, Xiang Yun was the city lord of Qin Feng City.

Meng Yuezhang said with a sad face: "His Royal Highness, the official of Qin Fengcheng...... I really don't know. ”

"Oh...... you are the county guard of Xiliang County, how could you not know the situation in Qin Feng City. ”

Meng Yuezhang said a little helplessly: "Has Your Highness forgotten that when the prince gave Qin Fengcheng to you as a fief, Qin Fengcheng was separated from my Xiliang County, this is still your request, and then the lower official withdrew all the reports in Qin Fengcheng." ”

"This ......" Xiang Yun was also a little embarrassed for a while.

Meng Yuezhang continued, "After the beast tide broke out, Xia Guan also sent people to Qin Feng City to investigate the situation, but they were all swallowed up by the beast tide, and no one returned, and not even one of the cloud beast eagles released came back, so I was afraid that it would ......."

Meng Yuezhang didn't continue, but looking at his heavy face, he already knew what he was thinking, such a huge beast tide, even a huge city like Xiliang County, it was difficult to protect himself, not to mention a small Qin Feng City, I am afraid that it had already been swallowed by the beast tide!

"No, it is impossible for Qin Feng City to be broken!" Xiang Yun said categorically!

When everyone heard this, they looked at each other, and Meng Taishou said with relief: "Your Royal Highness, Your Highness knows that Your Highness has put a lot of effort into Qin Feng City, but if a catastrophe occurs today, it is inevitable that a city will overturn." ”

Xiang Yun shook his head firmly, although this beast tide outbreak was unprecedentedly powerful, but Qin Feng City had Lao Liang Tou, and the woman in black who he met in the tavern at the beginning, both of them were on the side of Fengyun Country, with their two strong people, Qin Feng City would not be destroyed if he said it.

Seeing this, everyone also showed helplessness, just as Xiang Yun was still obsessed, but Xiang Yun's next sentence immediately startled the three county guards.

I saw Xiang Yun say to the three of them: "Three Taishou Lords, I will leave for Qin Feng City early tomorrow morning!"

"Ah......h

Bi Hongzhang immediately dissuaded: "Your Royal Highness, this is absolutely unacceptable!"

"Yes, His Royal Highness, now that the entire northwest border has fallen into the beast tide, wouldn't it be ...... if you went north at this time" Meng Yuezhang also persuaded bitterly.

Chu Xihe shook his head again and again: "I can't do it, I can't do it, this move is tantamount to self-destruction!"

Seeing the three people who were strongly opposed, Xiang Yun smiled and looked at the three people: "Three adults, do you think that if we stick to this place and face this cloud beast tide, what are our chances of winning?"

"This ......"

The three of them were speechless for a while, even Chu Xihe, who was a master of the Earth Cloud Realm, couldn't speak at this moment, everyone knew that according to the current situation, if there were no material resources or reinforcements, the county would inevitably end up being ruined.

Xiang Yun continued: "Instead of sitting still, it's better to give it a go, this time I go to Qin Feng City, I have to investigate the root cause of the outbreak of this beast tide, if it is lucky to turn the situation around, it will be a great luck, if not, it will only be a death." ”

"It's just a death!" a simple sentence, but it made the hearts of the three county guards shake.

"But ......" The three of them still wanted to persuade, but Xiang Yun said firmly: "You don't need to persuade again, I have made up my mind!"

The three of them couldn't persuade them, and seeing that Xiang Yun insisted on doing so, Meng Yuezhang finally proposed to send an army of 100,000 plus Chu Xihe, a master of Diyun, to escort Xiang Yun all the way, but he resolutely refused to this cloud.

"You don't need to send me anyone, I just need to bring more than 200 soldiers from the Snow Wolf Rider. ”

Seeing that everyone was about to raise objections, Xiang Yun explained: "There are so many soldiers and civilians in Xiliang County now, their life and death are the most important, you must not arbitrarily transfer troops in the city, and Chu Taishou is the only Diyun master in the city, and you must sit here." ”

"As for the Qi commander, you can lead the brothers of the Futu Iron Cavalry to help the three Taishou guard guard Xiliang County!"

After all, the Futu Iron Cavalry was not as good as the Snow Wolf Cavalry, and they fought all the way, with more than thirty percent of the casualties, and they obviously couldn't continue to charge, so Xiang Yun chose to leave them in the city.

He had already made up his mind, the journey from Xiliang County to Qin Feng City must be more difficult and dangerous than any previous time, no matter how large the army was, how could it withstand the devouring of the beast tide, but a small elite army was the best.

In the end, Xiang Yunli overrode the public opinion and decided the matter!
