A swallow landed by the ventilation window, pecked at the snow for a moment, flapped its wings, and flew away.

The swallow itself flew to the west, and was blown by a puff of smoke, and was so startled that it quickly rose a little higher, and turned around and flew in the direction of the center of the city.

If you can look down from the air, you will find that this area of Yujin City near the concession area is all scorched black.

It was as if the land had been blackened by the concession.

Except for some scorched black land, there are sporadic fires and smoke in many lanes of the entire Tulip City.

There was one place where thousands of people were crowded at the moment.

That place is the ancient city of Tulip City!

The ancient walls of Tulip City are an old fortification near the center of the city that has been around for hundreds of years.

As early as hundreds of years ago, because of its proximity to the sea, Tulip City was often harassed by pirates and ronins from other small countries, so huge towers were built to wrap the entire city area.

However, with the development of society and the increase of population, the outer city has gradually expanded, and the old city has gradually become an ornamental "ruin".

People seem to have forgotten the function of the ancient city itself, which was to defend against war.

It wasn't until decades ago that people knew its value when defending against the invasion of the Styrans. Since then, the ancient city has been renovated, and later, the Qulan royal family has a serious financial deficit, and now, decades have passed since the last war, and the ancient city is getting older and older, except for the moss that is increasing day by day.

In the past few days, the almost forgotten ancient city has regained its own glory, defending itself against the invasion of Styland.

The ancient city tower at this moment.

In the setting sun, the appearance is pale gold, and there is a solemn feeling.

The water of the moat, muddy, with some ice floes floating on it, and snow on the ice floes.

Outside the city, there was a mess, with scurrying livestock, crooked flags, and many tattered clothes...

These were all left behind by the retreating people to the west of the city.

Not far away, there was a rumbling sound of cannons, which seemed to explode in the sky.

"Daddy, Daddy, where are you..."

"Damn foreigners!"

"Don't run around!"

In the city, there is a lot of mourning.

The steps were covered in blood!

Scattered armor and weapons are everywhere, and there are even some pots and pans!

Everything tells us that this was an evacuation that was too hasty.

At this moment, the city gate looks upstairs.

There were three people standing on it, their hands touching the city wall, and their faces were gloomy.

These three people are all the leading figures in Yujincheng, they are Zhou Zengming, the prefect of Yujincheng, Bai Zhanxian, the commander of the military region, and Yue Xingshan, the deputy leader of the Wumeng.

Snowflakes are flying, the sky is covered in dark clouds, and everything looks gray.

"If there is no ancestor left in this city, we will wait..."The prefect Zhou Zengming's tone was gloomy.

"Whoa—"

Before he could speak, there was a strange noise in the sky.

"Be careful!" Bai Zhan took a step forward and protected Zhou Zengming behind him.

The foreign army can't hit this side, but their rockets can be fired everywhere, which makes the Qur'an unguarded.

The shell landed not far away with a loud bang.

A puff of smoke rose from the ground.

The stone walls of the watchtower trembled.

"Hehe, the foreigner's rocket is still not accurate!" Seeing that the shell missed, Bai Zhanxian smiled, but there was a lot of bitterness in his smile.

"Commander!" a small soldier staggered over, saw that Zhou Zengming was also there, paused, and said, "Zhou ...... Lord Zhou!"

"You don't have to be polite in wartime, what information do you have?" Zhou Zengming faintly felt bad.

The little soldier said, "Chen ...... Master Chen took the escort of adults to pick up the civilians in Su Min Lane, and then was ...... when he broke into the rental area Killed!"

Zhou Zengming's body shook for a moment, and then stabilized.

Chen Jiu was his personal bodyguard, and he had been with him for decades, but he didn't expect to die at the hands of foreigners now.

Chen Jiu was dressed in an iron cloth shirt, and he could defend against bullets fired from a long distance.

So he either hit the mortar of the foreigners, or...... He was shot to death by random gunfire.

Zhou Zengming's eyes closed and he took a deep breath a little, he couldn't help but want to ask this messenger if he was messing around, but he knew in his heart that all this could not be fake.

"Everything is true...... blood, the fires of war, the death of wailing people and their own personal guards, these are all true!

He suppressed his emotions and did not rush to ask.

The so-called no two commanders in the army.

He is not from the army, he is just here to calm the people.

Bai Zhanxian asked what he wanted to say for him: "Didn't you let Xu Mingqi follow with a team of people, what about them?"

"Xu Shen led him...... Originally, we had to retreat safely, but Master Chen said that he would go to the leased land to have a look, and we couldn't persuade him. ”

The so-called staff is equivalent to the second lieutenant in the international general military rank.

"What is he going to lease the land for?" Bai Zhanxian wondered.

Zhou Zengming sighed: "Alas...... Blame me, it's me... Let him go. ”

"My lord, the leased land has long been blocked by foreigners, why did you let Master Chen go there?" Yue Xingshan, who was an old friend and had a straightforward temper, asked directly and mercilessly.

Zhou Zengming said: "I think Chen Jiu's martial arts are good...... I wanted Chen Jiu to explore the truth and reality!"

Yue Xingshan and Bai Zhanxian were both stunned and sighed.

After a while, Bai Zhanxian said to the messenger, "You retreat first."

"It's... By the way, Commander, that ...... Master Chen's body was dropped by the other party on the 'Wushan Tower' in Beicheng District......"

"It's too much to deceive people!" At this time, Yue Xingshan shouted angrily, "I'm fighting with them!"

"No!"

"No!"

Zhou Zengming and Bai Zhanxian spoke at the same time.

These days, there are constantly martial arts masters who want to break into the concession area and assassinate the other party's dignitaries, but they are all captured and killed by the Stylans.

Whenever a foreigner catches a warrior, he will show his corpse to the public.

Zhou Zengming seemed to be dozens of years old, and said to his entourage: "Comfort Lao Jiu's family well." ”

...

...

Dark night, Tianjiang, Yujin City section.

The sky was covered with dark clouds, the stars and the moon were covered by dark clouds from time to time, and it was pitch black all around, and only the whirring river breeze could be heard.

The Flying Eagle and the Sea Dragon finally crossed the boundary of Tulip City.

Li Wuxian took Cao Qiuyan and other members of the Dajiang Gang and Huo Ge and other three cave masters to stand on the bow of the Flying Eagle together.

On the left hand side of the Flying Eagle, on the Sea Dragon, Cao Jin and the Dajiang Gang also stood at the bow of the ship, with a nervous look.

The two boats walked side by side, like two sea beasts.

The gunners were already gearing up, because not far away, they were at the branch of the Dajiang Gang in Tulip City.

In fact, it is still a long way from the city of Yujincheng, and it was also a shipyard in the past.

"The situation is not good, it is unattended. The sailors on the side had already jumped into the water according to Zheng Dabiao's instructions, and at this moment, there was an uproar and opened the floodgates on the river.

"Full speed ahead!"

Next, the two ships turned around the port building, and at a glance they saw the fire in the distance, shining as bright as day, and dozens of large boats on the river were full of people.

"Boom!" Before the two ships could get closer, a shell landed not far in front of the ship.

"Who's coming?" someone on the other side shouted and asked, the voice was attached to the internal force, and it was clearly audible to everyone.

Cao Qiuyan was overjoyed and said, "It's my Dajiang Gang." ”

Zheng Dabiao raised his voice and said: "But Brother Su Ming of the 'station department' is under Zheng Dabiao." ”

A person flashed out of the other party's boat, wearing a black warrior suit, and said loudly: "Is it really my big brother?

Having said that, the other side was still very guarded, and multiple guns were pointed at the two ships.

It wasn't until Zheng Dabiao stepped forward and told the origin that the other side was overjoyed, and then took the bridge and let the rest of the people get on the boat. There have been many verifications in the process, needless to say.

Next, the Oegang greeted each other.

After Cao Qiuyan said a few words, she pulled Li Wuxian and the others and said, "This is Li Wuxian Li Shaoxia of the Golden Cloud Gate, and his three allies. ”

When Su Ming heard Li Wuxian's name, he was shocked: "But Li Wuxian's brother who fights five Steelland fighters alone?"

Li Wuxian said: "It's me." ”

"Long admiration!" Su Ming bowed deeply, and a light that seemed to be very adoring flashed in his eyes, which made Li Wuxian wonder a little for a while.

Li Wuxian didn't know that his reputation was thunderous in his hometown!

"Come with me, a few elders are deliberating!" Su Ming said, leading everyone to the Lou Ship Council Hall.

Zhou Qing and Yan Sanniang of the Dajiang Gang's 'War Department' are impressively listed.

"Li Shaoxia?" Before everyone introduced, the pretty widow Yan Sanniang had already recognized Li Wuxian.

"Miss Yan, don't come unharmed. “

Li Wuxian said lightly.

Now that Li Wuxian has washed all the lead, and his cultivation is all restrained, Yan Sanniang's heart was shocked, and her eyes stayed on Li Wuxian for a long time.

Yan Sanniang and Li Wuxian reunited after a long absence, and they had some feelings.

Only then did Cao Qiuyan know that Li Wuxian had a long relationship with the Dajiang Gang.

Everyone gathered, and at that moment Cao Qiuyan made a long story short, he was attacked from the wild, but fortunately Li Wuxian rescued him, and everyone went from the secret passage to the open sea, and then met a series of things such as the ten caves and the ugliness.

Yan Sanniang's expression was slightly complicated: "It turns out that Li Shaoxia has reached this realm. She felt inexplicable in her heart, whether it was the electric sword, the four ghosts of Shanyin or the Lord of the Ten Caves, they were not ordinary people, and Li Wuxian was able to kill and subdue these people, which shocked her.

Zhou Qing was also overjoyed when he heard that Li Wuxian's martial arts were profound: "This time the young man came at the right time, Yujin City is already in danger, and we have just repelled the warship on the overseas Poison Dragon Island, and the other party has already run away now, so we are now preparing to go back to support the government army." ”

Next, Zhou Qing told that Li Wuxian, Cao Qiuyan and others knew that a few days ago, the Stirlanders and the Gulan people on the side of Yujin City had already started a war.

At the same time, the branch of the Dajiang Gang was indeed attacked, but the troops of the Ten Caves and Three Islands only came to one Fire Dragon Island, and although the island owner 'Fire Dragon Head Tuo' cultivated to a half-step transformation realm, under a row of artillery, it was also in vain.

"Foreigners have invaded ......" Although the war was expected, Li Wuxian, Cao Qiuyan and others were still very surprised when they heard the news at first glance.

Zhou Qingdao: "The ship of Huolong Island is a blow every time, and we don't dare to put it in front of us, today, we designed a deception, and when the other party approached, we blew up and sank one of the opponent's boats, and I thought that the enemy would not dare to attack again for a while." Yan Sanniang said.

Cao Qiuyan sneered: "This Fire Dragon Island is menacing, but it is guided by the Blood Moon Gate, and they will never give up when they retreat this time." ”

Zhou Qing and Yan Sanniang glanced at each other, "Sure enough, it's the Blood Moon Gate, and we guessed the same before." ”

Li Wuxian was more concerned about the situation in Yujin City, and asked anxiously, "I don't know how the battle situation is in the city?"

Yan Sanniang and Zhou Qing both let out a long sigh.

"It's not ideal. We have disciples who go back and forth between the city and the ship, passing on the message, and it is said that the whole Xicheng is now being taken by foreigners. The foreigners' artillery is powerful, and our army only relies on the geographical advantages and the strength of the common people to engage in street battles with them. The foreigners have invested tens of thousands of troops this time, and it seems that they are determined to win, but they should not be underestimated. ”

"But fortunately, the foreigners have not blocked the Tianjiang waterway here, and it is said that reinforcements from Huiquan Province will come from here in the future, and there may be a turnaround at that time. And now, we're ready to go ashore tonight to increase our reinforcements!"

"As it should be. Li Wuxian frowned, I don't know what happened to my parents and the sect?

Zhou Qing pondered his tone and took the initiative to say, "Shaoxia, I heard that Senior Brother Lin Ziyue ...... Seriously injured, life and death unknown... Presumably, it was also the work of the Blood Moon Gate. ”

Li Wuxian was taken aback, stabilized his tone and said, "Then do I have any other damage to my Golden Cloud Gate?"

"I don't know at the moment, but many of the disciples of your sect have joined the military now......" Zhou Qing didn't finish.

Li Wuxian nodded, understanding what he meant, as soon as he started fighting after joining the military, this life and death would be unpredictable!

The army of tens of thousands of foreigners, with artillery and guns, is too powerful, and in such a large-scale war, the power of individuals is insignificant. The inner disciples of the Golden Cloud Sect may all have professional third- to fifth-stage cultivation, but if they encounter a foreign spear team, they will also have to be hated!

Of course, in comparison, a warrior with a weapon in hand will be more difficult to deal with than an ordinary soldier.

"Woo!"

Outside, the unique ship horn of the Great River Gang sounded, and the ship slowly moved towards Tulip City.

"How long will it take to enter the Golden City from here at night?" asked Li Wuxian.

"Three hours, and it should be daybreak. ”

Li Wuxian pressed his impatient thoughts, Lin Ziyue was seriously injured, in his opinion, as long as Master Shi Tong could come back, he might be able to recover, but he was afraid that the Blood Moon Gate would be more than that.

Even if you can hurt Lin Ziyue, it may not be able to hurt other disciples.

More than two hours later, the Tulip City Pier was in sight.

At this moment, a cannon rang out, and suddenly there were shouts of killing, and the artillery on the shore was in the sky, and the big ship of the Dajiang Gang, which was immediately at the head, burned.

"There's an ambush!"

"Enemy attack!"

"Hurry back!"

The crowd shouted endlessly, never expecting that the Yujincheng pier had been occupied.

At this time, they suddenly remembered that the ships of Huolong Island were fighting and retreating, leading the river to help them chase, and the purpose might be the dock!

A plan to turn the tiger away from the mountain!

Li Wuxian is now like an arrow, and when he saw the other party in ambush, he immediately opened his ancestral acupuncture and perceived the several fortresses and the people in ambush on the opposite side.

"You stabilize first, and wait for Li to go ashore to kill people!" Li Wuxian's eyes were very gloomy, and he said to everyone at this time.

"Shaoxia, I can't help it!" Zhou Qing is a disciple of the Battle Hall, and his cultivation is not bad, but he doesn't dare to gamble on his life in this gunshot.

Yan Sanniang also persuaded, "Brother Li, don't be reckless!"

Li Wuxian also ignored the persuasion of everyone, and his voice was low, "Three cave masters, come with me." ”

As he spoke, his feet moved, and the whole person swept along the river.

Huo Ge, Jiang Chuchu and Hua Wutong all wanted to die, but their life and death were only between Li Wuxian's thoughts, and they didn't dare to shirk it, so they immediately gritted their teeth and followed.

They are all nine-stage cultivators now, and it is not difficult to tread water and cross the river.

Seeing Li Wuxian like this, everyone was very imposing, and at that moment, many Dajiang Gang disciples formed a death squad and forcibly crossed ashore!
