"The whole army retreated a mile and camped on the spot. The murderous intent in Yue Wuchen's eyes gradually disappeared, and he looked at the scorched earth in front of him and said lightly.

"Yes!" the Blood Moon army began to retreat.

"Gather all the generals to my tent and discuss how to take this city. Yue Wuchen said in a cold tone, turned the horse's head and left.

......

"Phantom of the Seven Gods!" In the room, Yang Yan's tightly closed eyes opened suddenly, a bright light flashed, and a light and shadow catapulted from his body at a distance of five steps, the outline was the same as his, and it gradually dissipated after five breaths.

"There's still some lack of heat. Yang Yan shook his head slightly, during this time, he didn't even pay attention to the war in the outside world, concentrated on cultivation, and spent most of his time on the cultivation of "Soul Forging Technique" and "Seven Gods Phantom", the soul power gradually increased imperceptibly, and the "Seven Gods Phantom" also made a lot of progress, but the phantom cast was still not an entity, and it could not reach the point of being fake.

Moreover, he vaguely felt that he seemed to have encountered a bottleneck, maybe he still needed some opportunities to really get started with the Phantom of the Seven Gods, and it was no longer meaningful to continue to practice in retreat.

"The half-moon period should not have come yet. Yang Yan turned his head and glanced out the window, the light was slightly dazzling, it should be noon, but I don't know what day it is.

He was so engrossed in his cultivation that he could barely feel the passage of time, but he didn't think it would be too long.

Knock knock!

At this moment, a hurried knock on the door sounded, and Lin Zixiao's somewhat anxious voice came in: "Your Highness!

Yang Yan's eyes condensed slightly, under normal circumstances, no one would disturb himself when he was cultivating, let alone the personal guards, and even if the Thunderbolt Fire Spirit Bead was buried outside Changzhou City, but those were one-time consumables, and the number was not much, it was impossible to stop the pace of the Blood Moon Army's attack, and during the time he was in retreat, it must have been more than one or two attacks by the Blood Moon Army, and no one had alarmed him.

Now, Lin Zixiao personally disturbed, and his voice was quite eager, obviously, this attack of the Blood Moon Army was extraordinary.

Opening the door, Yang Yan saw that Lin Zixiao's face was anxious, and the matter was probably more serious, so he asked lightly, "What's the matter?"

As if it was His Royal Highness's calm in the face of danger, or Yang Yan's several performances had already conquered their proud hearts, Lin Zixiao unconsciously felt a little relieved, and his face eased a lot.

"They swept away all the Thunderbolt Orbs that had been planted outside the city, and now the Blood Moon Army is launching an all-out attack on us from all sides, the offensive is fierce, the number of casualties of our army has risen sharply, and even some of the generals are demoralized, and the situation is very unfavorable for us. Lin Zixiao took a deep breath and said quickly.

A hint of surprise flashed in Yang Yan's eyes, Yue Wuchen actually launched a full-scale attack on Changzhou City so quickly, and it was a frontal attack, this is not like his style.

Or did Yue Wuchen already have insight into their details and was very sure that he was ready to capture Changzhou City in one go?

"How many days?" asked Yang Yan.

There was no beginning or end to this, but Lin Zixiao seemed to know what he was going to ask, and said directly: "Your Highness has been in retreat for ten days, if it weren't for the need for you to preside over the overall situation, the end would not disturb Your Highness's cultivation." ”

Hearing this, Yang Yan couldn't help but be secretly speechless, he thought that it would be four or five days at most, but he didn't expect that this retreat would be ten days later, counting the day before the retreat, there were only four days left before the half-moon period.

But in this way, it is almost time for them to arrive, and the plan can begin, and it seems that there is nothing bad about it.

"Let's go. Yang Yan said lightly, and Lin Zixiao followed him towards the city tower.

......

Boom Boom Boom !!

At this moment, Changzhou City was attacked by an unprecedented fierce attack, and under the four city walls, there were dense Blood Moon soldiers wearing blood-colored armor, or climbing siege ladders, or stacking human ladders through the powerful jumping ability brought by cultivation, they were like the desert bloodthirsty ants encountered by Yang Yan and his party on the periphery of the chaotic river basin when they went to the place of trial, frantically rushing towards the city, wanting to submerge Changzhou City, and then gnaw on the scum left.

Behind the frantically attacking Blood Moon army were catapults, not afraid of hurting their own people, and bombarded the city with great frenzy, and there were already many cracks in the strong walls.

The defenders of Tianyang naturally would not easily let the Blood Moon army succeed, they fought fiercely with the Blood Moon soldiers who tried to climb up the city, arrows, wood and stones rolled down one after another, and the Blood Moon soldiers who were lucky enough to climb the city were quickly cut down under the city, and for a while, the screams came and went.

The two sides are scorched together, stalemate, and the casualty figures are soaring.

The four towers of Changzhou City can see the general battle situation in all directions, but Yang Yan directly climbed the north gate tower.

The reason is very simple, Yue Wuchen is at the north gate, the Blood Moon army has the most troops at the north gate, the most courageous battle, and the most fierce offensive, and the Tianyang soldiers at the north gate resist extremely hard.

In addition, Yang Yan did not show up for ten consecutive days, even if the situation was so severe, the soldiers did not see their trusted Royal Highness the Seventh Prince, and it was inevitable that they were a little disappointed and panicked.

Lin Zixiao thought about it again and again, but decided to tell all the things he had hidden before on the way to Beicheng Tower, and Yang Yan knew that the current situation was far more severe than he said, not to mention that some generals were demoralized, and the morale of the entire Tianyang army was a little depressed, and there were even rumors that shook the morale of the army.

"What rumors?" Yang Yan said lightly.

"Hmph! The enemy army has attacked the city in a big way, and our Highness has not even seen a single figure, so maybe he is already so frightened that he is already hiding. ”

Before Lin Zixiao could speak, a small whisper came into the ears of the two, Yang Yan's face did not fluctuate in the slightest, but Lin Zixiao's face was angry, and he wanted to walk towards the person who slandered His Highness.

Yang Yan stopped him directly and didn't say a word, but the meaning was obvious, and he wanted to continue listening.

Lin Zixiao looked at the few soldiers who were still whispering and unaware that the protagonists of their discussion were behind them, and sighed secretly, if he had done it in the past, he would only have reprimanded them, after all, he would have to keep them to resist the attack of the Blood Moon Army, but His Highness's actions let him know that this matter could not be good.

"Your Highness shouldn't be such a timid person, don't forget that we can fight here all thanks to His Highness's resourcefulness, and dare to think and do, it is said that His Highness has been in retreat and cultivation for several days, and it is estimated that he doesn't know that the enemy has attacked wildly, so he hasn't gone out yet, don't talk nonsense!"

However, everyone sneered and said, "Hehe, you don't pretend to flatter there, and Your Highness can't hear it, even if Your Highness has the courage to do so, it's just a thirteen-year-old child, and in the face of the crazy attack of the 330,000 Blood Moon Army, isn't it scared?"

"That is, it was a stinky move to choose to attack Changzhou at the beginning, knowing that the surrounding cities were still in the hands of the blood moon, and he took the initiative to drill into the encirclement, and he did not evacuate immediately after the night attack took Changzhou and stayed here, now it's okay, the blood moon army is attacking the city on all sides, we resist with our lives, but the others are gone, hehe!"

"I don't think he's in retreat, but he knows that something is wrong and has fled, the world is royal, even the prince is so scared that he ran away, but he left us here as cannon fodder, what kind of war are we fighting!"

"But there are always many people who are willing to be royal eagle dogs, blindly trusting the unreliable Seven Princes, and still fighting for him, if we don't fight, we will definitely be killed by them first, and the blood moon is brutal, even if we surrender, I am afraid that it will be difficult to escape death after the city is broken. Someone said worriedly.

"It's not necessarily, although the blood moon is good at slaughtering the city, it hasn't killed all the people in the city, if we show enough sincerity, we may not be able to ......," said the man who spoke at the beginning with a confident face.

"Not necessarily what?" A faint voice came from behind him, unable to hear joy or anger.

"It may not be impossible to survive, and it may even be reused. The man said expectantly.

"What sincerity do you want to exchange for?" the same voice came, and still couldn't hear the joy or anger.

"Of course it is......" The man said happily, as if he had seen the scene of being treated well after surrendering, and a hint of something bad flashed in his heart, pulling him back to reality, and then he realized that something was wrong.

Although this voice was somewhat familiar, it was not at all from any of them, and although the tone was flat, it was not angry and arrogant, which only the superior could have.

What's more, the other few people actually didn't say a word, even if the shouting and killing sound around them shook the sky, they weirdly felt that it was extremely quiet, and there was no one behind him at all, but now he felt two breaths, one of which was even more powerful to suffocation, but it was Lin Zixiao who became more and more angry the more he listened, and couldn't help but release a trace of breath.

The man's face changed suddenly, he stiffly twisted his neck and looked back, and suddenly his face was as pale as paper, and sweat was like rain: "Your ...... Your Highness!"

"Participation...... See His Royal Highness!" The rest of the people gritted their teeth, knelt on the ground, trembling all over, if it weren't for Yang Yan's sudden voice, Lin Zixiao released a trace of breath, and they didn't know that His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince was actually standing behind them, thinking of the previous conversation, they only felt that their hearts were dead.

"If there's anything else you want to say, just say it, this prince is listening here. Yang Yan didn't even look at them, his tone was extremely flat, but those people seemed to have come to the ice and snow naked, enduring the invasion of the blizzard, their faces were pale, and their hearts were full of fear.

"......" Several people gritted their teeth and said nothing, but the person couldn't bear the invisible pressure first, and fell at Yang Yan's feet with a pop, and said tremblingly: "Xiao...... The villain was confused for a while, and was confused by rumors before he offended His Highness, and begged His Highness to see that since the villain's Northern Expedition, there is no merit and hard work before and after the saddle, spare the villain's life, and the villain will definitely go to the soup to repay His Highness's great kindness!"

"Who is it?" Yang Yan didn't look at him, but his flat tone pierced everyone's hearts like the sharpest blade.

“......”

That person was a school captain, who had just entered the Spirit Yuan Realm as a cultivator, but he was trembling under Yang Yan's words, and cold sweat was dripping, he naturally knew what Yang Yan was asking, but if he said the person behind the scenes, would he still have a way to live?

After all, I have been with Yang Yan for two months, and I know a little about the character of His Royal Highness, and I know that he is the most intolerable betrayal, and if he knows everything, it is impossible to let himself live.
