Chapter 78: Outside the Canyon
Li Qianqiu sensed that something was wrong, the number of refugees was beyond imagination, and this was a hinterland, so it stands to reason that there should not be so many refugees.
Soon, a few people from the Hundred Refining Camp rushed forward and stopped a small group, which looked like a well-established family, about thirty people.
More than 30 people were brought to Li Qianqiu.
Li Qianqiu jumped off his horse and asked in a deep voice, "Who are you, and why did you flee all the way south?"
The only old man hurriedly stepped forward and bowed and replied, "Master Huijun, the old man is a person from Yuezhou, the northern Xinjiang has been lost, and it is approaching Yuezhou, the demon clan and the northern nomads are marching on a large scale, slaughtering the people everywhere, we can only flee all the way south." β
Li Qianqiu's eyelids jumped, Northern Xinjiang is a heavy city, guarded by hundreds of thousands of elite troops, but it has been lost, and the enemy has already entered Yuezhou.
"Your Majesty didn't send someone to rescue you?" asked Li Qianqiu in a deep voice.
The old man immediately replied, "It happened too suddenly, there were a large number of demon clan troops participating in the battle, ordinary soldiers couldn't resist it at all, they fought all the way into the hinterland, and now they are almost close to Tianlan City." β
Li Qianqiu was immediately furious, waved them away, and then ordered in a deep voice, "Go all out and go to Tianlan City." β
Wow......
Rumble......
The army was drawn out, and the horses neighed, like thunder rolling in the sky.
"If you make meritorious contributions, in this dynasty, you will defeat the demon army, Your Majesty will not only not punish you, but will also be rewarded!" Li Qianqiu waved the banner and shouted angrily.
Drive!
Rumble......
Nearly 100,000 troops erupted in war, following the cultivators to fight against the demon army, the success rate increased at least several times, and the merits of killing a big demon were considerable.
......
At this time, outside Tianlan City, it was crowded with refugees, and Tianlan City opened the door to let refugees enter in the early stage, but in the later stage, it actually blocked the gate and did not allow anyone to enter.
There were more than hundreds of thousands of refugees outside the city, wailing all over the field, begging Tianlan City to open the door and let them go, because the enemy was close at hand, and now there would definitely be no time to go to the next main city.
But the city lord in the city actually stood on the city wall and looked down on the refugees, without the slightest mercy, hundreds of thousands of people outside the city, but there were tens of millions of people in the city.
"Pick up your weapons and fight with me against the demon army! Whoever dares to attack the city is treasonous!" Zhao Yuanzhong, the city lord of Tianlan City, shouted angrily.
The army roared angrily, and the heavy crossbows in their hands were ready to go.
In the north, the dust is flying, and the demon rider shakes the mountains and rivers, like a rolling torrent, and it will attack this place in half an hour at most.
Zhao Yuanzhong would never open the city gate, with an indifferent face.
"Newspaper! There is also a 100,000 cavalry in the western region that is killing ......."
An agent arrives from the west and fires a signal arrow that explodes in the void.
Zhao Yuanzhong's face changed greatly, an army of 20,000 demon clans was enough to destroy Tianlan City, and another 100,000, even Yandu could be defeated.
Tianlan City, the location is very important, it is an important stronghold for all parties to Yandu, standing in Tianlan City, Yandu is at your fingertips.
"Ask Yandu for help! Ask the God of War to come in person!" Zhao Yuanzhong roared angrily.
But there is only the last half an hour, and there is no need at all, and by the time the letter for help is sent to Yandu, I am afraid it will already be a day later.
The refugees outside the city are crazy, they have self-knowledge, staying outside the city will only be the blood food of the demon clan, they began to attack the city gate, although they could not shake it, but they still fought to attack the city for their lives.
Zhao Yuanzhong was annoyed and angry, and even wanted to take the initiative to kill these refugees.
Whewββββββββββ
A sword light crossed the void, and Ye Ping'en came with a sword, a white cloth fluttering, dancing with the wind, like a fairy.
Zhao Yuanzhong's pupils shrank, and he hurriedly stood on the city wall and shouted, "Ask the immortal for help, the demon clan will disrupt the empire and ruin the lives of the people...... Only the immortal can reverse the situation......"
Ye Pingen said coldly, "Open the city gate to let the refugees outside the city enter, and the time will come." β
Where is Zhao Yuanzhong willing to take risks, the enemy is now close at hand!
Ye Pingen stared at Zhao Yuanzhong and said in a deep voice, "This is the order of Li Qianqiu, the commander of the third brigade of the Zhenlong Army, he is now rushing from the west with 100,000 elites to support, these hundreds of thousands of refugees outside the city will seriously interfere with his movements, if you disobey the order again, the military law will deal with it!"
Zhao Yuanzhong smiled bitterly, "Shangxian, the commander of the third brigade of the Zhenlong Army can't order me, his rank is not as high as mine, how can I obey his commands? Not to mention that the demon clan army will arrive soon, if I can't close the city gate before they arrive, Tianlan City will give it to others, and then Yandu will be in danger, I can't do this!"
"Li Qianqiu, on behalf of Li Pilgrim, came to order you to open it like this! If you disobey the order today, you will be executed if the city is not broken!" Ye Pingen said coldly.
Whewββββββββ
Just when Zhao Yuanzhong was hesitating, Li Qianqiu also came with a sword, looked at Zhao Yuanzhong from a distance, and said in a deep voice, "Uncle Zhao, listen to me, open the city gate to let the refugees in, I will carry it alone, these hundreds of thousands of lives, do you watch them die?"
As soon as Zhao Yuanzhong saw Li Qianqiu, his eyebrows were clustered, he knew Li Qianqiu, the main battle faction, he led the troops to fight at the age of sixteen or seventeen, although he was reported by the god of war halfway and was removed from the rank, but he also knew that the relationship between Li Qianqiu and Li Pilgrim was not ordinary, but he didn't know that it was a father-son relationship.
"You...... Have you become an immortal?" Zhao Yuanzhong looked at Li Qianqiu suspiciously, he had only been seen for more than a year, and he could actually fly away.
Li Qianqiu nodded and replied, "Yes, please open the city gate and let my people occupy the city outside the city to defend the city, these people are scattered outside the city in chaos, and they will only interfere with my actions." β
Zhao Yuanzhong no longer hesitated, and immediately ordered, "Open the main city gate and the auxiliary gates on the left and right sides, don't allow anyone to crowd, and quickly accept the refugees into the city." β
Wow......
The main door was opened, the refugees were like a torrent, many people were trampled under their feet, trampled to death, there was no order at all.
"Line up, don't crowd, you still have half an hour, you have time to ......," Li Qianqiu shouted angrily.
Wow......
The refugees outside the city gate knew that if it weren't for Li Qianqiu's words, they wouldn't have had a chance at all, so they finally reduced their speed and stopped being crazy and crowded.
Wow......
Li Qianqiu's figure flashed and went straight to the north, followed closely by the thunder mouse.
A lookout mountain, surrounded by high mountains and undulating mountains, there is only one canyon pass, but this place is not suitable for ambushes, let alone ambushes for the Great Demon Army.
Li Qianqiu hung the Baiyue banner in the canyon and stood alone in the canyon, wanting to delay a little time, so that the refugees could enter the city and his army could have enough time to rest and arrange their troops.
After a stick of incense, the murderous aura rushed to the face, flying sand and stones.
The speed of the demon clan's army was too fast, and even when it reached the canyon, there was no sign of slowing down, as if it was about to rush directly.
Recite!!!
Li Qianqiu drew his sword and stood, his sword aura soaring into the sky, shocking the ten directions.
Sure enough, the demon clan army was shocked by the sword qi in the canyon, and began to reduce its speed and slowly approach.
The sword qi disappeared, and Li Qianqiu stood silently in the front area of the canyon with a thousand ancient swords in his hand, and the thunder rat was guarding on one side, and the army was close in front of him.
Li Qianqiu didn't dare to retreat, and he was nervous in his heart, but he didn't dare to show it, but pretended to be calm, and looked at the enemy army with a smile on his face.
The commander of the demon clan army is a first-order powerhouse in the Guiyuan Realm, and his task is to occupy Tianlan City, and stay in the city, choking Yandu's neck, so time is life, he looked at Li Qianqiu standing alone outside the canyon, and couldn't help but feel a chill, and said in a cold voice, "Go and kill him personally." β
Hahahaha......
Li Qianqiu laughed loudly and slowly retreated more than thirty meters, and the winding passage obscured the enemy's sight.
A Lingqi realm demon came to kill strongly.
Recite!!!
Boomββββββββββ
A sword qi swept through, flying sand and stones, and the entire cliff was in turmoil, followed by the thunder restlessness, splitting the Dharma Dao, the Lingqi Realm Great Demon was completely killed, and the body fell out of the canyon heavily.
Suddenly, the demon army sensed that something was wrong.
Storm?
The master of the demon clan knows the intelligence and treachery of the human race, and there must be deception here.
The restless army was stopped by the leader and did not dare to break in directly.
