While the southern city was tight, there was no war on the eastern front.

In addition to the cold wind whistling over the entire eastern city, only the "click" sound made by the teams of soldiers patrolling and stepping on the snow remains.

The distance between the gate tower of the east city and the south city is quite far away, and it is impossible to see the battle situation over there, only some smoke and faint shouts and roars.

But even if they only heard these sounds, it was enough for these Yulin guards and border troops in the eastern city to imagine the battle situation in the southern city.

Some are scared, some are happy, and some are eager to try.

Xu Yuan stood on the tower of the city gate and looked at the different expressions of the soldiers below, and sighed slightly:

"Vice Admiral Cang, do you think Qingyan's plan can be realized?"

“.”

When the words fell, Vice General Cang, who lowered his eyes, didn't seem to hear Xu Yuan's question.

Ever since he knew His Highness Wu Yuan's intentions, he had been thinking about something.

Xu Yuan didn't urge when he saw this, knowing that the other party was most likely thinking about the military situation.

Half an hour later,

Vice Admiral Cang glanced at the smoke in front of him, and then at the somewhat thin protective array on the dome.

The Northern Closure City Protector Formation is a large array composed of small formations that are interlocking, and the collapse of the formation in the south of the city did not affect the operation of the formation here, but the overloaded formation operation over there has taken away the source Qi of the rest of the city.

In other words,

Before Yun Qi replenished it, the protection that this great protective array could provide could basically be said to be one out of ten.

At this point, Vice Admiral Cang sighed:

"That barbarian king is not a fuel-efficient lamp, the battle situation is changing rapidly, I don't know if I can succeed, but there is a princess in the south of the city, at least she will not collapse."

Hearing this, Xu Yuan glanced at the southern city where the smoke of gunfire was everywhere.

With the blessing of the Blood Element's Heart Fall, he could see the inner city over there covered with flesh and blood that had been frozen into ice.

In the ancient wars of the previous life, one or two percent of the soldiers had to be defeated, and if they insisted on three percent not being defeated, they were elite, and they didn't know what the battle situation of this extraordinary world was.

Retracting his gaze, Xu Yuan said softly:

"As long as you don't rout, then you will have something to gain when you go out."

Vice Admiral Cang chuckled and said:

"Gongzi Xu, I don't know if I have captured Cang, but I suggest you go back to the mansion first."

"Back to the house?"

Xu Yuan raised his eyebrows, and subconsciously glanced at the thick sun-covering smoke: "Vice General Cang, what have you discovered?" ”

Vice Admiral Cang also looked at the smoke screen that filled the outside of the city:

"Gongzi Xu, the war has been going on so far, and those barbarian tribal chieftains who are full of muscles have either died, or have become vassals of other large tribes under the leadership of that barbarian king."

After a moment of silence, Xu Yuan's reaction was very fast:

"You mean that after learning that Li Qingyan raided the flank of the Barbarian King's Chinese army, they would not choose to send troops to help, but would directly start attacking the city from the east and west?"

"Yes, now the chiefs of the remaining tribes of the barbarians, they know very well the combat power of my Great Yan's elite, even if they urgently dispatch people to reinforce them, the princess can directly transfer the troops from the south city back to the city."

Vice General Cang seemed to know these barbarian old opponents very well, and his eyes were solemn:

"They are all old foxes who have gone through thousands of battle formations, and they have a keen sense of smell for changes in the battle situation, and the princess dares to lead the army to attack the barbarian king's camp, which means that she has brought eight or nine out of ten elites from our northern closure city, and the city is naturally empty, and the most profitable choice is to believe in the barbarian king and directly lead the troops to attack the city."

“.”

Listening to Vice General Cang's analysis, Xu Yuan subconsciously glanced at the Yulin Army who was waiting below.

Yes, Li Qingyan is ready.

He previously thought that this breast-wrapped fiancée had left this camp to receive Lin Wei, but now he saw that the other party was not ready to come back from the East City Gate at all.

However, are the hearts of those who play tactics so deep?

I don't know if he will be able to suppress this breast-wrapped woman in the future.

Well, I miss the second day of the big ice mound.

Seeing Xu Yuan's silence, Deputy General Cang arched his hand directly after speaking:

"Gongzi Xu, Dongcheng is estimated to be going to war soon, offended."

Speaking of which,

He didn't give Xu Yuan time to react, and directly shouted in a low voice:

"Qu Li, Zhang Hong, the two of you escort Xu Gongzi back to the mansion!"

“.”

Xu Yuan glanced at Vice General Cang in a little surprise.

On the premise of being sure that the barbarians would attack the city, he knew that the other party would not let him stay on this city gate, and the five-rank cultivation was indeed quite high among these ordinary six or seven-grade Yulin elites, but in the midst of the chaos, a stray arrow fired by a device or a siege by a barbarian squad could kill him.

But he didn't expect the other party to take the initiative to help him pave this step.

This lieutenant general, with a future.

Glancing at the two deputy generals who were trotting over, Xu Yuan grinned:

"Vice General Cang, you know a lot about this son."

Vice Admiral Cang's expression did not change:

"If you make a mistake, Cang can't give the princess an errand, and the princess can't give a deal to Lord Xiangguo, please."

Xu Yuan groaned slightly, but still shook his head.

Vice Admiral Cang frowned.

Xu Yuan smiled:

"A gentleman doesn't erect a dangerous wall, but isn't this wall a dangerous wall?"

Vice Admiral Cang's eyes were a little puzzled:

"Gongzi Xu, there is no point in you staying on this city wall."

Of course, Xu Yuan knew that there was no point.

If he was in the southern city wall at the moment, it might still make some sense.

After all, there's the Black Scales over there.

After the brainwashing of the Tian'an Martial Arts Hall and the Black Scale Army, a kind of personality cult has been formed in the hearts of most of the Black Scale Army.

A cult of personality for his old man.

Even if he didn't do anything in the past, as long as he stood on the city wall, for those black scale troops, it would be equivalent to the prince's personal levy, which could increase morale.

But in addition to a battalion of the Yulin Army in this eastern city, there are only 10,000 regular sect border troops.

But the problem is that he doesn't dare to go back to the government now.

Li Zhaoyuan is still staying in the mansion.

Vice General Cang will not be unfavorable to him, but this Li Zhaoyuan is not necessarily.

Although the bombing of the sect's warehouse was instigated by Qin Weijiu and executed by Su Succubus, it has not yet been determined whether Li Zhaoyuan was involved.

In case the other party really cooperated with Qin Weijiu's side, they would definitely want to get rid of him.

Even if he didn't know that he was the heir of the Xiangguo Mansion, with his cultivation that had skyrocketed over the past year, he would want to get rid of him.

The barbarians attacked the city, and the three sons of Xiangguo died violently, how pleasant it sounds~

After all

The Xiangguo Mansion without an heir is the best Xiangguo Mansion.

Xu Yuan stared at Vice General Cang and said seriously:

"Vice Admiral Cang, not everything in this world needs a meaning, and many things need to be experienced by myself and seen with my own eyes. Otherwise, the lives of these soldiers will always be a cold number on the dossier in my mind. ”

“.”

Deputy General Cang's eyes changed for a moment, and he looked at Xu Yuan's eyes softened a little, and he didn't say anything, but waved his hand to let the two deputy generals go down in person.

In the cold wind and the shouting from far away from the south of the city, time passed minute by minute.

suddenly

A hurricane suddenly set off, but it was not a barbarian, but a slender figure wearing the prince's jade robe.

It was Li Zhaoyuan.

Seeing each other, Xu Yuan's face remained unchanged, but his heart sank slightly.

Quiet for a moment,

Xu Yuan didn't move, but Vice General Cang on the side knelt directly on the ground:

"Second Highness!"

Li Zhaoyuan glanced at him, his voice was not cold, with a hint of detachment:

"Adjutant General Cang, there is no need to be polite when the military situation is urgent."

When Vice General Cang heard this, he immediately got up, looked at Li Zhaoyuan's toes and arched his hand:

"Now that the barbarian siege is imminent, why did you come here, Second Highness?"

Li Zhaoyuan's sword-eyed face was still unsmiling:

"In the palace, everything the king can do has been done, and the military situation is urgent, and the king, as the prince, naturally wants to contribute to the front line."

Xu Yuan glanced up and down at the second prince.

Although he slapped this kid in the face, he didn't actually know the cultivation of the two princes, after all, his father was walking in front when he slapped his face.

However, looking at the unfathomable aura of the other party, it should be a third-grade great master at the very least.

Vice Admiral Cang still bowed his head and arched his hand:

"Your Highness, there is an extraordinary cultivator fighting method on the battlefield, you have a golden body."

"Vice Admiral Cang."

Li Zhaoyuan raised his hand to interrupt his words, looked at the soldiers patrolling below with complicated eyes, and said in a serious tone:

"This king needs to see with his own eyes these soldiers who died for the great flames, otherwise, in the future, they may only be a string of names without temperature in the hearts of this king."

“.” Xu Yuan almost didn't hold back.

“.” Hearing this, Vice Admiral Cang, who was hanging his head, had a somewhat strange expression.

Silence for a moment,

Vice Admiral Cang coughed lightly, and arched his saluted hand forward:

"Cough, Your Royal Highness is worried about the soldiers, and Cang remembers it in his heart."

Words fall,

Vice Admiral Cang straightened up and looked out of the city without squinting.

And at this time,

Li Zhaoyuan turned his eyes to look at Xu Yuan and asked:

"Third son, don't you go back to the mansion to rest?"

Xu Yuan restrained his smile and said:

"As for me, I want to see what the front line looks like."

Li Zhaoyuan persuaded with concern:

"War is not child's play, safety is the most important, if the third prince is willing, this king will immediately arrange for the escort to send you back to the palace."

When Xu Yuan heard this, he immediately "hissed" in his heart.

It's broken.

This guy doesn't really want to play a trick of "barbarians attack the city, and the three sons of Xiangguo die violently", right?

Facing the other party's sincere eyes, Xu Yuan shook his head,

"Thank you for your concern, isn't there still Vice Admiral Cang?"

After a moment's pause, he turned to ask rhetorically:

"But Second Highness, if you want to remember the importance of the lives of soldiers, why don't you go to the South City? You should be needed more over there. ”

This reason why Li Zhaoyuan came here is too weird, and it is difficult for Xu Yuan not to think about it.

The other party wanted to establish prestige in the Great Yan Army, and Xu Yuan did know it.

But the question is that if you really want to establish your prestige, isn't it a better choice for Li Zhaoyuan to go to Nancheng now?

Not only is the military situation in Nancheng more urgent and needs high-level cultivators, but Li Qingyan is also there.

The danger is to be a little more dangerous, but more risk means more reward.

If you are Li Yunqing, the sixth child, you may not dare, but Li Zhaoyuan will definitely dare to take this risk.

The look on Li Zhaoyuan's face didn't show the slightest clue, and he replied directly without thinking:

"There is already the imperial sister and the Yuan commander sitting in the town, and this king doesn't need to go anymore."

"Huh"

Xu Yuan chuckled noncommittally, and suddenly looked sideways at Vice General Cang on the side and asked:

"Adjutant General Cang, is your habit of controlling the military formation to rush to the front, or to sit in the rear?"

The records of the military formation of the internal staff of the Xiangguo Mansion basically require the general to sit in the middle army, and even if the general who is the eye of the formation is injured, it will affect the maintenance of the military formation, and in case of death, the entire military formation will collapse directly.

But before in Vientiane City, Xu Yuan saw that Yuan Hao's way of fighting was that the main general rushed directly to the front.

Vice Admiral Cang's voice was flat:

"Cang's cultivation of the military formation is not as good as that of Her Royal Highness the Princess, and he is generally in charge of the Chinese army."

Xu Yuan nodded when he heard this:

"That'll be fine."

If Vice General Cang likes to rush to the front as much as Yuan Hao, then he really has to shake people and run away.

Although I am not sure if Li Zhaoyuan wants to do anything to him, this thing cannot be gambled.

Vice Admiral Cang said softly:

"Xu Gongzi, rest assured, as long as the last general is still alive, you will definitely not make any mistakes."

"Thank you."

Xu Yuan smiled easily, and turned to look at Li Zhaoyuan on the side:

"Second Highness, this is your first time on the front line?"

"Yes."

Li Zhaoyuan looked back, and a faint smile tugged at the corner of his lips:

"The third prince should be the same, but how does this king feel that you don't seem to be nervous at all?"

Xu Yuan spread his hands, very single:

"I'm used to being idle, and I don't have the habit of being nervous."

After a pause, he stared at him again and smiled:

"But although I'm not nervous, I'm a person who spares my life, the Second Highness will have to take care of me in a while, so many people have seen His Highness next to me, if there is danger, you can't help me."

At the end, Xu Yuan slightly accentuated his tone.

“.”

Li Zhaoyuan's eyes condensed slightly.

Xu Yuan looked at him with a smile.

Li Zhaoyuan took the lead in looking away and said in a low voice:

"There must be other Blackscale guards in the city, right?"

Xu Yuan also looked at the smoke screen in front of him blocking his vision, and said with a smile:

"Yes, but where they are, I don't know."

Li Zhaoyuan's voice was flat and soothing:

"Oh, the third prince is the most beloved heir of Duke Xu, and Duke Xu is the pillar of my Great Yan Kingdom, so this king will naturally protect the third prince."

Not long after Li Zhaoyuan's words fell,

The barbarians in the east of the city, who had endured the bombardment of demon beasts, finally began to attack the east city

Since there was no war colossus in the east, the barbarians made the wrestlers of the clan throw countless iron spike cones at the first time of the siege, and these iron thorns were deeply embedded in the city wall, forming a ladder on the surface of the city wall for the barbarian soldiers to borrow.

The smoke released by the obscure sun became the best cover for these barbarians to attack the city at this moment.

Countless barbarian soldiers took advantage of the effect of the mist, and the swift ants attached to them.

Although the sky city protection array was already a little looming due to the lack of supply of Yuan Qi, it still continued to provide shelter for the Great Yan defenders on the city wall, and all kinds of city defense equipment shot directly into the fog below.

From time to time, you can hear the cry of pain coming from the city.

And in the fog under the city, from time to time, a condensed demon beast totem would shoot out and rush towards the sky.

Every impact will make the moat sway for a moment.

After a stalemate over a cup of tea,

The first barbarian jumped onto the city, but his tall body was directly slashed in two by a feather forest soldier.

But then the second barbarian, the tenth barbarian, the hundredth barbarian!

This was the first time Xu Yuan had seen such a group as a barbarian with his own eyes.

Humanoid, but hideous and terrifying, at first glance, there is a kind of uncanny valley effect.

And the Yulin Army, which formed a military formation and waited on the city wall, seemed to have already adapted to the appearance of the other party, and the standard ancient ingot long knife was waved fiercely.

How many come up, how many kill.

It was almost a one-sided slaughter.

The black blood of the barbarians gradually blackened the city walls, steaming hot, and then dissipating in an instant, quickly turning into ice in the freezing temperature.

But soon, the sky protection array seemed to have drained the source qi due to the impact of those totems in the mist, and the frequency of unleashing attacks gradually slowed down, and the Great Yan defenders finally suffered their first casualties.

And once the beginning begins, the casualties can no longer be stopped.

The barbarians under the city seem to be endless, and if you kill one, you can jump up to two.

The barbarians who had built bridgeheads on the city walls tried to extend their gains, but the crossbow arrows of different formations were arranged in different heights, and they were directly sent to the blood.

Xu Yuan saw a barbarian leader whose breath was not weaker than him and wanted to shake the array pattern crossbow arrow, but his body was beaten and disappeared instantly, leaving only a pair of legs to stand in place.

I also saw a Yu Lin Ya being hit by a totem phantom and instantly exploded into blood foam.

The scorching red and black blood continued to splash, and it continued to cool and freeze rapidly in the icy temperature, and was finally shattered by the intertwined source qi of the two sides, turning into ice ballast and flying all over the sky.

Standing on the tower of the city gate, Xu Yuan silently looked at the war that belonged to the transcendent world below, his breathing went from smooth to short, and finally recovered from rapid to normal.

In the tidal numbers of barbarians,

One after another valuable array crossbow carts were destroyed, one by one the desperate Yulin soldiers fell in a pool of blood, and the area occupied by the barbarians on the city wall began to spread step by step.

This is the price, the price of Li Qingyan's desperate attempt to concentrate his forces to fight a decisive battle.

The advantage of the south of the city was exchanged for the crisis in the east and west.

Time, at this moment, seems to have no concept.

Only the splashes of blood and death permeated the walls

At this point, it is already a complete competition of the willpower of the generals and soldiers on both sides.

Whoever loses first loses.

Xu Yuan clenched his fists slightly, but suddenly found that Li Zhaoyuan beside him had suddenly disappeared.

The next moment,

A dazzling white thunderbolt almost illuminated the snow-covered sky, and the powerful aura that belonged to the Yipin's transformation began to seem to rage unscrupulously above the city walls.

The Dao domain appeared at a glance, and the thunder was all over the sky in a hundred miles!

In the twinkling of an eye

A hundred tall barbarian soldiers fell to the ground and turned to charcoal.

Seeing this scene,

Xu Yuan's pupils shrank suddenly.

Oh no, he slapped a mortal prince in the face in the palace before.

However, the next moment, Xu Yuan raised his eyes to look at the protective array above the sky.

Even if Li Zhaoyuan was a mortal powerhouse, he didn't believe that the other party would dare to be so ostentatious in a war of this scale.

Because the next moment when the high-level cultivator made a move was a bombardment from the military array.

And just as Xu Yuan thought,

As soon as Li Zhaoyuan's Dao Domain unfolded, and before the move stopped, a giant python phantom suddenly rushed out of the smoke screen!

The moment the tough city wall touched the python's body, it immediately turned into powder, invading Li Zhaoyuan's thunder domain, and the thick thunder arc hit the giant python's phantom but couldn't stop it.

It's a pity that the protective array above the sky, which was already almost stagnant, resurfaced at this time.

Li Zhaoyuan's body instantly condensed a thick layer of shield.

The shield collided with the giant python, the two Yuan Qi intertwined and wrestled, and the huge shock made the entire Dongcheng tremble slightly!

Xu Yuan stabilized his body and instantly understood what the two princes wanted to do.

Deliberately converged the source qi of the great array of the city, he made a move at a critical moment, relying on the protection of the large array, and used his own strength to defeat the morale of the barbarians in one fell swoop.

The barbarian general who controls the military array totem below will naturally not be slower than Xu Yuan.

After Li Zhaoyuan killed nearly a hundred more barbarian soldiers, a giant turtle shell phantom condensed in front of the thunder arc that Li Zhaoyuan had turned into.

The Thunder Dao Domain converged in an instant, and the thunder in the bright sky gradually turned into a terrifying purple, and the speed around Li Zhaoyuan's body suddenly surged again!

And the protective array in the sky also descended an invisible pressure at this time.

The moment the tortoise shell phantom was intertwined with the thunder arc and heavy pressure, cracks appeared one after another, and then spread rapidly, shattering in a few breaths, directly turning into bits of starlight and disappearing into the air.

Just when Xu Yuan thought that Li Zhaoyuan would continue his solo show, he suddenly regained his momentum and flew back to the city gate tower.

Xu Yuan looked at Li Zhaoyuan, who was still flashing with bursts of thunder around him, and asked with a smile:

"Second Highness, the Great Array of City Protectors is completely out of Yuan Qi reserves?"

Li Zhaoyuan also replied very honestly:

"This is natural, this king doesn't dare to mess around in this kind of military formation, the morale of the barbarians should collapse, and the next thing will be handed over to Deputy General Cang."

After this change, the offensive and defensive situation on the city wall changed shape again.

Soon after,

Excited exclamations from the city wall came into Xu Yuan's ears:

"The barbarians have retreated!"

"The barbarians have retreated!"

"Second Highness Chitose!"

"Second Highness, Second Highness, Martial Luck Prosperity!!"

“.”

Listening to these shouts, Xu Yuan looked back at Li Zhaoyuan and arched his hand:

"Your Royal Highness has gained a lot, and the cultivation is so deep, it really makes Changtian panic."

Li Zhaoyuan still had the same indifferent look as before, his face was slightly pale, and he smiled slightly:

"The third prince doesn't have to be polite, this time the king has used some external forces."

After a moment's pause,

Li Zhaoyuan seemed to hear something, glanced sideways in the direction of Nancheng, and said with a chuckle:

"The royal sister has already entered the city, she. Let me take you over, the third son. ”

Xu Yuan didn't move when he heard this, and grinned:

"Oh? How did you get in touch? ”

"The Great Array of City Protection, our royal family can control the Great Array, and naturally we can communicate through it in the city."

Li Zhaoyuan pointed to the top of the dome, and said with a warm smile: "Of course, the third prince can also ask Vice General Cang to arrange someone to send you over." ”

Xu Yuan glanced at the other party deeply and smiled:

"Look at what you said, Second Highness, you are outside."

Speaking of which,

Xu Yuan looked sideways at Deputy General Cang, whose face was pale because of the backlash of the military formation, and said loudly:

"Vice General Cang, I'll go down with the Second Highness to see Qingyan first, take care."

Dragged by Li Zhaoyuan with Yuan Qi, Xu Yuan and the others quickly arrived at Nancheng, the military camp where the Yulin Army was located.

came to the huge barracks that belonged to Li Qingyan together,

Before the two of them could speak to the guards outside the door, Li Qingyan's rustling voice came from the barracks:

"Second brother, wait a minute, the colt will come in first."

It's a little late, it's a little longer than 6k, and it's finished

or？
