Xu Huaigu left Xingqing as promised, and took Pingcui's mother and daughter with a group of five people to leave Xingqing.

As for where Pingcui's mother and daughter should be placed in the future, Xu Huaigu actually didn't know in his heart, so he could only see that in order to take care of Pingcui and the two, Xu Huaigu did not take the sword, but hired two carriages, and slowly went north along the road, preparing to go to Qingfeng Valley to fulfill the agreement with Xie Qingyun.

As soon as Xu Huaigu and the others left, another five days passed, and they had reached the border of Dayu and Yamato, and were preparing to enter Yamato through the mountain road.

Several people are uncomfortable in their hearts, so I won't show it here for the time being, and look at Xingqing's current situation. Now the midwinter is deep, the small year has passed, it is the twenty-eighth month of the lunar month, two or three days ago.

However, the people of Xingqing City may not have the intention of celebrating the New Year, and every household closes their doors and windows, hoards grain and rice, and curls up at home like rats in winter.

The army of the demon clan has already reached ten miles outside Xingqing City, but Lin Cangyang's heavy troops are also stationed here, and Dayu Country has no way to retreat, only to fight in the end.

On the night of the 28th day of the lunar month, the demon army officially launched a general attack, and there were 800,000 demon clans who came to attack, which was an unprecedented and amazing number.

This is the entire strength of the demon clan to cross the Ling River, and the gluttony is also desperate, this battle will not succeed, and even he will not be able to go back to the demon domain to explain.

Therefore, he did not dare to ignore it, so he personally went to the camp on the front line to command, and sent all his demons out, so that they surrounded Xingqing from all sides, and they must take the last city of this great surplus country.

However, Lin Cangyang tightened his last strength, and desperately gathered an army of 1.2 million and stationed it around Xingqing City.

A dead order was given from above to defend, and no half step back was allowed. Those who are cornered are also terrible, and the combat power of this last army should not be underestimated.

The two armies fought, the battle outside Xingqing City was raging, the raging fire burned for two days and two nights, the dead and wounded on both sides were innumerable, the corpses were all over the field, and the water was dyed into a river of blood.

Bleeding, but that's it. That Qi Shui Shen Ning Qiu really kept the contract, and watched countless soldiers die, but there was no trace of waves on her river.

After two days of fierce fighting, it was already the 30th day of the lunar month, which was Chinese New Year's Eve. It stands to reason that each family should be having a reunion dinner at this time, the children are laughing and laughing, playing and setting off firecrackers, and the peach charms hanging at the door of the house should also be replaced.

But because of this war, there were few lights in Xingqing City, and it was cold and silent. Lin Cangyang stood at the height of the palace hall, and in front of him were hundreds of civil and military officials, standing bustling on the steps.

Even if he didn't deliberately go to liquidate, Lin Cangyang could see at a glance that the number of people in front of him was much less, and many people ran away in advance.

Although the city gates were strictly controlled, these officials were not as good as ordinary people, so there was still a way to escape.

And those who remain are the ones who are willing to live and die with the Great Yu Kingdom. Run, let them run, but delay the time of death.

Lin Cangyang's heart was cold. Baiguan looked serious, stared closely at the bottom of the stairs, anxiously waiting for the news of the fast horse on the front line, and did not dare to relax for any time.

An official in court uniform hurried up the stairs, and the crowd rushed forward to ask him for information, and the man shook his head, indicating that he did not know the situation at the front.

He climbed the stairs straight, walked in front of Lin Cangyang, and saluted, "Your Majesty, it has been done according to your orders." Lin Cangyang nodded slightly and said, "As soon as it is the New Year, act immediately." The man nodded his head in agreement, and then retreated into the crowd.

Someone next to him whispered to him what His Majesty wanted him to do, but the man only shook his head, unwilling to speak.

Lin Cangyang straightened up, looked at the firelight in the distance, and was in a trance. There was a hurried sound of horses' hooves, from far and near.

Before the horse could stop, a wounded soldier quickly turned over and dismounted, and ran anxiously up the stairs.

The civil and military officials immediately cheered up and looked over, this is the front-line intelligence. The soldier gasped for breath, and before he had climbed a few steps, he fell to his knees on the stairs and shouted with all his strength: "Report, there is a fire dragon attacking in the east, and no one can defend it, and the army in the east of the city has been completely annihilated!" The demon clan is only afraid that they will attack the east gate soon! As soon as they heard the news, the civil and military officials turned pale with fright, looked at each other, and discussed it for a while.

Lin Cangyang knew in his heart that it was not a fire dragon, but a fire mantle, it was his handiwork to burn the Xingyue Sect at the beginning, and now it was Xingqing's turn.

The Great Demon of the Ten Realms is coming, Xingqing is isolated, just relying on those martial artists in the army, the highest is only the Eight Realms, and there is no other monk to help, how can he defend it?

The officials were in a panic and at a loss. After kneeling for a moment, and seeing that no one had spoken, the soldier shouted anxiously: "The military situation is urgent, please make a choice!" The officials looked at each other, and no one could answer.

Lin Cangyang's face was cloudy, and he ordered sharply: "The armies of all parties retreat to five miles away from the city, and divide their forces to fill the gap in the east!" No matter what, we've got to get through the night! The soldier received the order, and quickly mounted his horse and returned.

All the officials knew that Xingqing had come to an end, and there could be no more chances, so they couldn't help but be disheartened, and they all lowered their heads and remained silent.

Lin Cangyang looked to the east, and saw that the firelight over there was getting closer and closer to Xingqing, and the demon clan was about to come to the city.

She looked around among the hundreds of military officials below, looked at a general, and ordered with a stern expression: "General Liu, let your soldiers guard the city wall." The strong crossbow must be put on the spot, aimed at the big demon! If there is a coward, kill it on the spot! General Liu hurriedly nodded in agreement, then walked down the stairs and rode to the city wall to give orders.

The battle outside the city was raging, Lin Cangyang looked over there coldly, and after a while, she suddenly said: "Come on, prepare horses, I want to go up the city wall!" With that, she strode down the stairs, resolute, and ready to go up the wall.

When the hundred officials heard this, they were stunned at first, and then hurriedly gathered around, stopped Lin Cangyang, and persuaded one after another: "Your Majesty, no! If you leave, the backbone of the Lord of Dayu Country will be gone! ”

"Yes, Your Majesty! The city wall is chaotic and full of arrows, so you can't go! ”

"Your Majesty, by all means!" The hundred officials were anxious, but Lin Cangyang treated him coldly, and said angrily: "The demon clan will attack the city sooner or later, what is the difference between staying in the palace!" I can't fight, but I can beat the drums for the border army, better than standing here like you! After that, she walked down again, and the civil and military officials stopped her again, Lin Cangyang said angrily: "Whoever stops me again today is complicit in rebellion!" Someone, get me a horse! Seeing that Long Yan was furious, Baiguan had to cower and zoom in and let Lin Cangyang go down.

Two little eunuchs had already gone to prepare, and brought a horse, Lin Cangyang stepped on the horse, left off a group of civil and military officials, and went outside the palace.

The hundreds of officials have no leader, and they are becoming more and more helpless. I don't know if one of them said angrily: "Even Your Majesty has gone up to the city wall, let alone us people!" After reading books for a lifetime and eating food for a lifetime, you should also return your blood to this heaven and earth! Come and prepare horses, and I will go up to the city wall too!" There was a gray-haired old minister of the two dynasties with tears in his eyes, and he also said impassionedly: "My generation inherited the emperor's grace to reach this prominent position, and now the country is in trouble, how dare you refuse?" Your Majesty is gone, and I will go too! With this person taking the lead, the rest of the officials were even more enthusiastic, excited, and the sound of horses was endless, all of them wanted to go up to the city wall to help the border army.

When the eunuchs saw this scene, how could they not comply? So he brought a lot of horses, and for a time hundreds of officials went out of the city, leaving only a small number of people in the palace to take charge of the overall situation.

It is said that this is true, but in fact, there is nothing left to control in the Great Yu Kingdom. Lin Cangyang went straight to the east gate.

As soon as she dismounted, she saw a large group of horses following her, all of whom were civil and military officials, and everyone shouted: "We will go up to the city wall with Your Majesty to defend against the enemy!" Lin Cangyang looked at them, and his nose suddenly soured.

Among the hundred officials, there are old and young, but they all have the blood of the Great Yu Kingdom. None of those present were of the wrong species.

However, this is not the time to be sentimental, and as the head of a country, she can't cry. With a cold face, she was the first to climb the wall, and the rest of the people followed behind her.

The wind was strong on the walls, and the heat wave of war was blowing, and the air was full of blood. Lin Cangyang glanced under the city wall, and saw that the army of the demon clan was indeed moving towards the east gate, and the defenders of Dayu were also struggling to resist, but the demon clan was still getting closer and closer, and it was only two or three miles away from the city wall.

There was an evil cockroach in the air that burned bright red flames, and when it saw the dense army of the rest of the country, it spat flames from its mouth, and countless people were burned to death.

The soldiers on the city wall were all closely observing the situation, but suddenly they saw so many officials coming, and even a man in a dragon robe stood at the front, and they couldn't help but look at it in surprise.

Wearing a dragon robe, there will be no second person in the Great Yu Kingdom, it can only be the current saint. It's just that the Holy One is not in the palace today, but how about coming to this dangerous city wall?

Lin Cangyang asked sharply, "Who is the guard of the East Gate?" Hurry up and get your orders! An old general hurriedly came forward with a knife, knelt on one knee, and bowed his hand: "The last general Feng Pei, meet the saint!" ”

"Excuse me, get up!" Lin Cangyang's tone was majestic and solemn,

"General Feng, at this time, only the east gate of Xingqing is the most urgent, you have to do your best to guard the city gate for me! The evil cockroach in the sky, ordinary bows and arrows do not work, and they must be shot with a strong crossbow! Feng Pei saw that the current saint personally supervised the army, and his heart was grateful, and said: "Please rest assured, the last general will be broken, and he will definitely guard the city gate!" ”

"Good! Please also ask General Feng to take the snare drum, and I will beat the drum for all the soldiers! When Feng Pei heard this, he was shocked and hurriedly replied: "Holy Ten Thousand Golden Body, how can this be made!" Not only him, but all the soldiers were dumbfounded when they heard this.

However, Lin Cangyang's eyes were resolute, and he didn't seem to be cheating. Feng Pei thought for a moment, and hurriedly shouted back: "What are you doing in a daze, hurry up and get a drum for the saint!" A few soldiers had already gone to prepare, and in a short time they brought back a two-man drum.

The snare drum is unusual for drum music, and even the drumsticks weigh several pounds. Lin Cangyang held the drumstick in his hand and looked at the city's foreign war office.

The old general surnamed Feng shouted: "Everyone listen to me!" Now that the Holy God is beating the drum for us personally, who dares to fight without doing his duty, people and gods are angry! ”

"Kill, kill, kill!" All the soldiers were enthusiastic and shouted in unison. After three kills, the city wall was as quiet as death.

Everyone's eyes were torn apart, and they looked angrily at the situation outside the city, quietly waiting for their time. When the demon army was almost two miles away from the city, Feng Pei gave an order: "Get on the crossbow and release the arrows!" The archer took out the arrows from the quiver, and the crossbowman put the steel arrows with the thickness of his arm on the crossbow, and at this time, the wind in his ears was urgent, and the drums thundered like thunder, and entered the hearts of every soldier.

The black-pressed arrows shot out in a salvo, like a rainstorm pressing the realm, and the momentum was magnificent.
