Chapter 50: A Cloud of Blood Comes from the South
Xi Yingyan was almost laughed at angrily, and his hand pointing at Qiu Gaohan was a little trembling.
"According to you, not only are you without fault, but you have also achieved something?"
Qiu Gaohan suddenly fell to the ground in fear.
"Don't dare to be lowly! That's not what it means!
Lord Lieutenant, the most important thing at the moment is to prepare for the fence!"
Hearing this, Xi Yingyan was even more angry and almost slapped it down.
"Prepare for deployment, guard against your grandmother's bag! You fucking stopped all the county soldiers outside, and now what are you going to do?!"
"Lord Captain, it's unintentional to be humble!
My lord, in fact, we still have people available, don't you think there are still seven or eight hundred mercenaries?
The castle tower on the side of the town beast pen is guarded by my 400 town guard soldiers, so there should be no problem.
As long as we put those mercenaries on the outer walled tower, it will still be of great help. ”
Xi Yingyan's heart suddenly moved when he heard this, and he glanced down at the dozen or so mercenary teams scattered and gathered in the narrow school field, and couldn't help but be a little moved.
These mercenaries are all adventurers who travel to and from the Wandering Beast Desert, and at least one-fifth of them are Yuanhai Realm martial artists;
There are also a few Xuan Liquid Realms, which are really a living force.
After thinking about it for a while, Xi Yingyan immediately sighed.
"Then why don't you hurry up and do it?!"
"Yes, my lord, let's go!"
Qiu Gaohan's face was suddenly full of joy, and there was an inexplicable light flash in his eyes.
After Qiu Gaohan got down the city tower and walked towards the school grounds, Xi Yingyanfu looked at the battlefield outside the fence again.
At this moment, the war has officially begun, but the county soldiers are obviously at an absolute disadvantage.
But fortunately, the morale of those county soldiers was useful, and there were still many people who were determined to die and fought for their lives, but they were not able to barely support themselves and were not defeated.
But Xi Yingyan knows very well that this is only temporary, and those county soldiers won't last long!
Although he had already sent an urgent message to the camp of the North Wind Town Legion for help, the camp of the legion was nearly a thousand miles away, how could he catch up?
Even if you want to ask the border army in Shaguan for help, it is useless.
He didn't know if he could hold on, but at the moment he had nothing to do but fight for his life!
"Wait!
Xi Yingyan turned his gaze sharply to those unknown enemies, and carefully scanned them several times, but unfortunately he never found what he was looking for.
How is that possible? If they want to break through the town enclosure, why don't they have siege equipment?
Do you want to rely on the Drift Beast to open the door?
"No! No, although there are few mechanism formations on the outside of the town beast fence, the walls and towers within fifty zhang are also filled with confinement materials, and the flowing beasts can't pass through the underground at all!"
Xi Yingyan's mind turned sharply, and his mouth kept muttering to himself, but his heart was full of unknown uneasiness.
Why exactly? Do they think that they can break through the town fence without relying on siege equipment?
Xi Yingyan was suddenly taken aback by his own idea, but after coming back to his senses, he laughed at himself.
How is it possible? When you are in this town, the animal pen will open and close by itself?
Rumble!
Xi Yingyan only felt that an explosion suddenly remembered in his mind, but it was shocking, and he almost found it difficult to stand firm.
As if remembering something, Xi Yingyan hurriedly turned his head to look at the school yard in the gate.
I saw that Qiu Gaohan was assigning tasks to more than a dozen mercenary teams at the moment.
Looking at the direction he pointed out, two teams were assigned to the city gate, as if they were asked to assist in guarding the noose and formation hub of the take-off and landing gate and the stone gate.
And looking at the eye contact between Qiu Gaohan and the leaders of the two teams, it seems to be a very tacit understanding.
A hint of gloom flashed in Xi Yingyan's eyes, he finally knew what the problem was!
Originally, he hadn't thought much about Qiu Gaohan's behavior of directly blocking the gate and refusing the county soldiers to enter the customs, but at this moment, all the doubts are connected, which is enough to explain a very cruel fact!
Qiu Gaohan has either betrayed the dynasty, or he is a spy planted by the enemy!
And he also looked at those two mercenary teams very vividly, unlike those other mercenary teams who had several faces, he had no impression of these people at all!
Thinking that these people must also be the enemy in disguise, their purpose must be to cooperate with Qiu Gaohan, directly open the city gate at a critical moment, and let the enemy enter the gate!
No wonder, no wonder I didn't see the enemy army with siege engines at all!
Because, they don't need it at all!
As soon as he thought of this, Xi Yingyan's heart suddenly became murderous.
......
The great battle was tragic and tragic, and more than half an hour had passed since the start of the war.
There were less than 800 soldiers left under Lei Su, and almost all of them were wounded;
As for the precious five hundred cavalry, they were annihilated in the first round of confrontation.
And Feng Wu's situation was not much different, the foot soldiers in their early 1,000s gathered in a circle, desperately and numbly resisting the continuous attacks of the stream beast group wave after wave.
More than 7,000 sons slept on the ground, but they only pulled 800 cavalry and 2,000 beasts of the enemy to die together.
At the moment, the enemy still has 1,200 cavalry, and nearly 3,000 rogue beasts.
And the county soldiers are already at the end of their crossbows, maybe if the enemy comes another round of onslaught, everyone will die!
Lei Su gritted his teeth and slashed the third arrow shaft on his body, and saw that the enemy's seven hundred cavalry were ready to charge again, and his eyes couldn't help but be bitter.
"Damn Feng Wu, Lao Tzu is really going to be killed by you this time!"
On the other side, Feng Wu expressionlessly bandaged his left hand, which was missing three fingers, with a cloth bandage, and his heart was also mixed.
If so, who wants to fight to the death?
He's a man who lives hard!
Unfortunately, there are no ifs! There are many things in this world that you can't do if you don't want to!
"Shangguan Invincible ......"
This name came to mind inexplicably, Feng Wu was a little angry but helpless.
If it weren't for him, I wouldn't have died here;
But if he didn't die here, then nearly 100 people in the whole clan would have to die!
This kind of confused account really can't be counted.
......
"A group of county soldiers who eat dry food on weekdays are so difficult, and they can't even take it for such a long time!
I don't believe it like Sicong, can they still be beaten with iron?!"
Xiang Sicong suddenly threw away the wine jug in his hand, his eyes full of murder.
He thought that a few quarters of an hour would be enough to settle the battle, but who would have thought that the other side would be so stubborn, and it would bring them a lot of casualties!
Isn't this just a slap in the face? You know, he used to look down on the other party very much.
"Commander Wu, you lead the rest of the guards to rush up, and destroy them immediately for this prince!"
The one-eyed general surnamed Wu was just about to receive his order, but the horse under him suddenly stood up and almost threw him down!
At the same time, all the horses around them let out an uneasy neighing sound, and at the same time kept kicking their hooves and shaking their horses' heads, as if they were greatly frightened.
"W-What's going on?!"
Xiang Sicong finally tightened the reins to control the horse under him, and his face was ugly.
"Shizi, I'm afraid we're going to be in big trouble......"
The cloudy-eyed old man looked behind him, and for the first time there was an uneasy expression on his face.
Xiang Sicong, Commander Wu and the others hurriedly looked back, but they just happened to see a floating "blood cloud" rapidly approaching them!
Looking at that speed, I'm afraid I can get there after a dozen breaths!
"Bloodthirsty Tiger! This, how is this possible! How can anyone tame a bloodthirsty tiger?!"
When he saw the true appearance of the "blood cloud", Xiang Sicong's face suddenly turned pale, and his eyes were full of fear.
The bloodthirsty tiger is a well-known Yuan Beast, this Yuan Beast is not only powerful, but also has a strong sense of revenge, and often provokes a large group of people to take revenge!
Yes, very few people dare to take the initiative to provoke the Bloodthirsty Tiger, let alone submit as a mount!
In addition, this bloodthirsty tiger also has a natural suppression of Yin beasts and brute ghosts, and it does not need any medium to hunt ghost beasts wantonly.
Therefore, even if the former king Yu Xian secretly led the wandering beasts to sneak into Luoyan County, he didn't dare to approach Luoyan Ridge at all, and I heard that there were many bloodthirsty tigers entrenched there.
"When the Bloodthirsty Tiger enters, I will be deprived of half of my strength from the guards and other cavalry!
The plan has failed!
Tan He, you quickly take the prince away!
Although Commander Wu was also frightened, he did not forget his duty.
"All the guards obey the order! Dismount immediately and stop the enemy on the spot!"
"No!"
Five hundred guards leapt down from the limp and screaming horses, and soon formed a simple array.
The front row is guarded with arm shields, the middle row is squatting behind with drawn knives, and the last row is to draw the crossbow and wind it urgently.
Facing Xiang Sicong's anxious and expectant gaze, Tan He smiled bitterly.
"It's useless, the other party has a fourth-level bloodthirsty tiger, and I can't take the world to escape far!
Right now, there's only one battle!
Even if it's not an opponent, I'll wait for the identity of the son of the world, and I don't dare to really hurt the son of the world if I think of it!
It's a big deal, just wait for the prince to redeem people!"
Hearing this, Xiang Sicong suddenly looked disappointed, but a touch of relief flashed in his eyes.
That's right, he is the most beloved sister-in-law of the Elephant King, if the other party knows his identity, how dare he kill him?
Commander Wu was helpless, but there was no other way, and he could only prepare for a desperate battle immediately!
"Immediately order all cavalry and wandering beasts to lead people, and order them to return to help quickly!"
"No!"
"Woo~~~~~~"
With the sound of a long and six short desolate horns, in the distance, the seven hundred cavalry who were ready to charge and prepare to wipe out the remnants of Lei Su's troops suddenly froze;
After a brief period of confusion, unification was soon reached, and the horse's head was turned and galloped towards the place where the flag was.
At the same time, the leaders of more than a dozen wandering beasts also heard the sound of horns, but they fell into hesitation for a while.
After all, they are not from the Iron Elephant Dynasty, and the enemy in front of them is already a candle in the wind, and they can be destroyed in the next moment, so how can they be willing to retreat at this time?
