Maybe it was the vigorous and resolute action from the soldiers, and at the moment when Xu Yuan's words fell, Captain Wang shouted outside the house:

"Someone!"

"Squeak-"

The old-fashioned wooden door was pushed open from the outside almost instantly, and the adjutant who was standing outside came to the front of the hall and knelt down, holding his fists and saying:

"General Wang, what do you command?"

Captain Wang got up, and briefly arranged the work in his mouth:

"You immediately take someone to the City Defense Division to check the operation of the various large arrays in the city, and inform He Xinchuan that the second battalion is ready to go out of the city to meet Li Shengwu at any time."

“.”

The adjutant was a little stunned in his eyes, although he didn't know the reason for the period, but he also directly clenched his fists and received the order:

"Yes!"

"Let's go down."

When the words fell, the adjutant did not stop, directly ran the exercises in the army, and galloped outside.

Captain Wang paused when he walked to the door, and glanced back at Xu Yuan in the room:

"Zhou Gongzi, Wang is temporarily absent."

"Captain Wang, please, my senior sister and I will go back to the inn first, if something really happens to the city defense array, Captain Wang can send someone to inform me."

The night is getting deeper.

Two hours later.

Under the leadership of the partial generals he had seen before, Xu Yuan climbed the city wall of Shengshan County.

Compared with the twenty-zhang tall city wall of Jingjiang Fucheng, the city wall of Shengshan County can only be regarded as a small dirt bag.

Three feet and four feet, the hard bluestone has the aftermath of the battle, the pits are dug and dug, and even the exposed formation patterns can be seen in some places.

Without saying a word, Xu Yuan could see that the burly middle-aged man's face was gloomy at the moment.

Looks like something must have happened.

Shrouded in the phantom fog formation, there was no moonlight in the sky, and there was only the flickering light of the bonfire on the city wall.

Walking out in silence for a distance, and running the exercises slightly, Xu Yuan saw several generals in military uniforms at the end of the city wall, and Captain Wang was among them.

After several generals standing on the city wall saw Xu Yuan coming, they looked at him with their eyes, and then left in silence, only Captain Wang greeted him head-on.

After standing still, Captain Wang still got straight to the point:

"Gongzi Zhou, Wang will confirm with you again, do you really have no direct evidence to prove that the Vientiane Sect wants to slaughter the city?"

When Xu Yuan heard this, he shook his head slightly:

"This kind of thing, it is impossible for the Vientiane Sect to leave direct evidence, and you shouldn't understand it if Captain Wang doesn't understand."

Captain Wang was quiet for a moment, and let out a long sigh:

"That's true."

Xu Yuan looked sideways out of the city.

Standing on the city wall on this side, you can clearly see that the Shengshan border army formed a military formation outside the city is slaughtering the group of demon beasts that drained out of the phantom fog array:

"Captain Wang, how is the situation now?"

Captain Wang groaned slightly, and also looked at the military formation over there:

"There are more than twice as many demon beasts in the Phantom Mist Great Array as in previous years."

"No, I'm talking about the communication wafer."

Xu Yuan asked the question he was most concerned about.

If the communication wafer can still work, then he can shake people over.

Regarding his question, Captain Wang was silent and did not speak.

Seeing this, Xu Yuan sighed.

Judging by the reaction of the other party, most of the communication wafers have failed.

In other words, today's Shengshan County has completely cut off all contact with the outside world and has become an out-and-out isolated city.

However, Xu Yuan felt that if it was just the failure of the communication wafer, Captain Wang would not show such a look:

"There's something wrong with the city defense array?"

"Yes."

Captain Wang's voice was low, looking at the formation on the city wall, with a helpless sigh:

"The aura pool of the Great Array of Protectors has been tampered with, and now the charging situation of the entire Great Array is only twenty percent."

"Where's the Phantom Mist Array?"

"There is a problem with the control of the formation, and now we can't control the big formation."

“.”

Xu Yuan frowned, groaned slightly, and asked in a low voice:

"When Xu Xinyao was engraving the formation, weren't your Shengshan border army the first to control the formation?"

Although the materials for the construction of the formation were issued by the Vientiane Sect, in such a matter as the lives of the people of a city, such a principled issue should not be stupid enough to be handed over to the sect to control.

Captain Wang was silent for a moment and said:

"According to the formation drawings given by Miss Xu, our Shengshan County border army is indeed the first to control the formation."

"So the drawings were secretly changed?" Xu Yuan narrowed his eyes: "Xu Xinyao shouldn't make such a low-level mistake. ”

"Bang!"

Captain Wang smashed his fist on the battlements, his fists clenched very tightly:

"They should have moved after Miss Xu left!"

"After leaving?" Xu Yuan raised his eyebrows.

Captain Wang's tone was a hint of helplessness:

"Miss Xu's third brother had an accident, and the Phantom Mist Array had not yet been completed, so Miss Xu had to leave first. Most of the time, during the period when the final construction was completed, those formation mages of the Vientiane Sect secretly changed the formation map left by Miss Xu. ”

“.”

Xu Yuan sighed:

"Even if she doesn't leave, the result will be the same, as long as the Vientiane Sect doesn't give up the intention of creating ghost fog, it's just a difference between an earlier time and a later time."

As he spoke, Xu Yuan changed his words and asked bluntly:

"So, what are you trying to do with me now?"

“.”

Quiet for a moment,

Captain Wang rubbed his hands, and his loud voice became a little hesitant:

"May I ask you and your senior sister Zhou Gongzi, can you help me in Shengshan County? We will pay you. ”

Xu Yuan was not surprised by Captain Wang's request.

Now that the lonely city is helpless, there is a three-rank great master to help sweep the formation, which is tantamount to sending carbon in the snow in today's situation.

However, Xu Yuan did not rush to agree, looked at the bloody Shengshan border army outside the city, and said in a low voice:

"Captain Wang, are you going to defend the city?"

“.”

This question seemed to stop Captain Wang, he looked at him, and said with a slight hesitation:

"The mouth of the Phantom Mist Array is getting bigger little by little, and now a thousand demon beasts will be drained out every hour, according to this rate, tomorrow or even the day after tomorrow, there will be more than three thousand demon beasts diverted from it every hour, and the military array can't kill it, so it can only rely on the city wall array to defend."

Xu Yuan shook his head lightly and asked:

"Captain Wang, do you think you can hold it?

"Or, do you think the Vientiane Sect will let you hold Shengshan County?"

“.” Captain Wang was silent.

Xu Yuan sighed and said in a low voice:

"Captain Wang, do you know what the only advantage of the Shengshan Border Army over the Vientiane Sect is now?"

“.”

After a moment of silence, Captain Wang took a tentative look:

"The Great Array of City Defense?"

"Of course not."

"What's that?"

"Poor information."

Xu Yuan looked at Captain Wang and paused word by word:

"The Vientiane Sect doesn't know yet, you already know about their plan to create a ghost mist in Shengshan County."

Saying,

Xu Yuan looked at the puzzlement in the eyes of the burly middle-aged man in front of him, and smiled:

"Captain Wang, poor information is very important."

"If the Vientiane Sect knew about this, they would never boil the frogs in warm water like they do now, but directly put all the demon beasts in the Phantom Mist Great Array into it."

Xu Yuan raised his hand and pointed to the military formation outside the city:

"Just imagine, the tens of thousands of demon beasts trapped in the Phantom Mist Array rushed out of the fog at one time, can you, the border army of Wansheng Mountain, hold it?"

Captain Wang clenched his fists slightly, looked at the young man in front of him, took a deep breath, and said:

"You mean, we're going to have to break through?"

Xu Yuan didn't speak, but it was basically equivalent to acquiescence.

It is inevitable that it cannot be kept.

Whether you have mental calculations or not, you don't know how many backhands the Vientiane Sect has left.

The first round of monsters may be just one of them.

Blowing up city walls, causing civil strife, and high-level cultivators infiltrating the city to create chaos can all happen.

But to break through the siege means to give up the 400,000 people and refugees inside and outside Shengshan.

Silence, gradually spreading in the cold wind on the city walls
