Chapter 226 The Appetite of the Barbarians
Babel Tower, top floor.
Among the vast clouds and steam, a tall and beautiful figure looms among them, and with the cold wind at high altitude, the hem of the plain white skirt flutters with the wind.
Tianyuan looked in the direction of the northern border, a pair of golden eyes shone with strange light.
Amid the surging clouds,
A figure walked up the stairs to the top of the tower, and knelt down behind the woman:
"Pavilion Master."
This is a man, middle-aged, but his hair and beard are already gray.
If some high-level sects were here, they would be able to recognize that this middle-aged man is the head teacher of the Great Sect of Tianxu Sect in Southern Xinjiang, which is too natural.
Tianyuan glanced at the other party flatly, but didn't tell him to get up, and a cold voice came out from her lips:
"how?"
Tai Shiran half-kneeled on the ground, performing etiquette, with a low laugh:
"Some of my old friends communicated with me, they are ready to do it, the time should be set in the next few days."
Tianyuan retracted her gaze and looked at the northern border. She seemed to be able to vaguely see the scene there:
"It's already started."
Tai Shiran's eyes were fixed, and then he lowered his head a little deeper:
"The master of the pavilion is so powerful that he can look at the northern border thousands of miles away."
Speaking of this, he paused and asked hesitantly:
"But are we really not going to get involved in this matter? Maybe we can completely smash the plan of Li Yaoxuan and Xu Yinhe."
Tianyuan’s veil is clear, and her beautiful face has no expression:
"The future is no longer visible. Those two people are not simple people. I have been hostile to the world since I was born this time. If I participate rashly, I will burn myself and just wait and see what happens."
"And that drop of ink has disappeared in Di'an City for more than a month. If he went to the northern border, such an accident may be able to remove this ink from the clear water."
Tai Shiran was slightly silent when he heard the words, and said in a deep voice:
"May she be a saint."
Before he finished speaking, Tianyuan took a deep look at Tai Shiran with his divine gaze that contained no emotion.
Tai Shiran bowed his head and stopped talking when he saw this.
Northern border.
Beifeng City is located on an important road, which is an important pass town. It was built on the junction plain of two towering mountains, like a giant beast crawling between heaven and earth, firmly blocking the only way for the barbarians to go south.
But at this moment, something happened to this thousand-year-old city.
When the attack came, when the fireworks rose in the south of the city, most of the defenders on the towering city wall just stared blankly at the fireworks rising under the city gate.
Surprised.
Puzzled.
However, most of the Beifeng City are veterans stationed on the border who have experienced many battles. After a short period of stupefaction, shouts blessed by Yuan Qi spread across the southern city wall.
"Don't worry about me, get out and prepare the defense equipment!"
"The city defense department will show me the damage to the city wall!"
"Send an order to inform the Habayashi Army that there may be a barbarian attack!"
"Zhou Ziwu, close the city gate for Lao Tzu!"
"Tang Qujiang, more than half of the convoys outside have not entered the city, and we also have brothers checking outside."
"Fuck you, I told you to shut it down! If you don't shut it down, I will go over and chop you up now!"
"Start up, start up!"
Under the organization of non-commissioned officers at the grassroots level, teams of soldiers were dispatched, the defense equipment was loaded, the partial pattern was activated, and the alarm bell rang!
Several gates and openings, the heavy city gates were directly lowered, and the merchants and cargo monsters who were in the gates and could not escape in time were directly crushed into meat, and the caravans and carriages outside the city that failed to enter the city instantly became chaotic. took a slice.
Screams of cursing, begging for mercy, and shouts of trying to gain connections and enter the city can be heard endlessly.
But these voices were selectively ignored by the defenders at the moment, at least by those veterans who had fought many battles.
After experiencing the attack, the southern city wall quickly entered a state of operational readiness.
While the soldiers at the bottom were actively preparing for battle, a figure flew over from the city and arrived at the South Tower one after the other.
Over half a hundred years old, wearing the uniform of the deputy general of the Habayashi Army.
Falling on the city wall, the middle-aged man in military uniform frowned and stared at the southern horizon. There was a vast expanse of white snowflakes and white mist in his eyes, but in the drifting snow, he could vaguely see three towers slowly moving towards the sky. The moving shadow of Beifeng City.
Watching for a few breaths in silence, the lieutenant general's expression was already serious.
At this moment, there was a sound of breaking through the air, and another person quickly rushed to land beside the lieutenant general.
The person who came here looked very bookish, wearing the uniform of a school captain. When he saw the lieutenant general, the bookish young man immediately saluted briefly:
"Lieutenant Cang."
The middle-aged lieutenant looked sideways:
"Commander Yuan, what about the others?"
"Today, Yuan XX organized and sent the supplies at the market in the south of the city. They were close and came quickly. The others should still be on the way."
After hearing the simple explanation, Yuan Hao asked directly: "Lieutenant Cang, how is the situation of the city wall?"
Lieutenant General Cang was silent for a moment when he heard the words:
"Just now, the frame of a vehicle transporting source crystals exploded."
"The source crystal exploded?"
Yuan Hao was stunned for a moment, and cursed angrily: "Damn it, Yuan Jing was transported in a horse-drawn carriage. Who did this stupid thing?!"
Lieutenant General Cang shook his head:
"I don't know, it has been bombed to slag, and I haven't had time to investigate."
Yuan Hao exhaled a mouthful of white mist, took two steps forward, and glanced at the direction of the fireworks:
"How is the grass damaged now?"
Lieutenant General Cang's eyes were a little dignified:
"The city wall was not damaged much, only part of the pattern was damaged, but the frame was directly blown up in the city gate hole, and the Arc de Triomphe may not be able to close for a while."
Hearing this, Yuan Hao's heart sank.
The Arc de Triomphe is a main gate with a large throughput in the south of the city. If it cannot be closed
Now the defenders in the city are empty, and most of the deployed troops have gone north to surrender to the barbarians.
If barbarians attack, they may directly destroy the city.
Looking up into the distance,
At this moment, the three shadows that were almost as high as the Beifeng city wall had slowly moved to twenty miles south of Beifeng city, facing them far away.
Seeing this scene, Yuan Hao's pupils shrank:
"That is."
Lieutenant General Cang's eyes were shining with the light brought by the exercise technique:
"Ice Beast Colossus."
"Ice Beast Colossus?!"
Yuan Hao thought for a moment, then froze: "Why can the main force of the barbarians suddenly appear in the south?"
The huge size represents a huge consumption of resources, and the cost of feeding such a war behemoth in the barren mountains and ridges of the northern snowfield is not insignificant.
In other words, this thing is the coffin book of the barbarians.
This kind of coffin originally appeared in the south of the city, which means that the siege this time was not a feint.
The next moment,
Yuan Hao's tone was a bit murderous, and he glanced at several giant military camps in the city: "It is impossible for the barbarians to tamper with our Dayan's frame. Lieutenant Cang, this is blatant treason."
Deputy General Cang was unmoved, but said:
"No matter how stupid the sect in the northern border is, it is impossible to do such a stupid thing. There should be someone else for this matter. The most urgent task now is to defend Beifeng City."
While the two were talking,
A figure in a fiery red dress drifted down.
Seeing someone coming,
Lieutenant General Cang was stunned for a moment, then quickly knelt down to salute, and said in a trembling voice:
"Shut up."
Looking at the two of them with indifference as if they could kill, Li Qingyan said coldly:
"If I don't show up, who will unify the army in Beifeng City?"
“.”
Above the city wall, the wind and snow were bleak, and there was silence.
Now in order to exterminate the barbarians, almost all the elites in Beifeng City are out, and because of the blizzard and natural disaster, they are alone in the snow field.
Beifeng City can directly dispatch only the 10,000 Black Scale Army under Yuan Hao, and the Habayashi Army who retreated to the rear and received replacements.
It is only 30,000 if you count all the cards.
However, although the elites of various sects were nesting in Houting County, they also more or less stayed behind in some Qubu to guard their hometowns, but the combined army of many sects and aristocratic families was roughly 100,000.
But if no one with unifying power stands up to integrate it, it will most likely become the same as the previous Beifeng Siege.
Shifting each other and preserving each other's strength, no one wants to fight a tough battle to defend the main attacking place of the barbarians.
This sudden change forced Li Qingyan to stand up.
Li Qingyan's red pupils lit up, staring at the huge black shadow mountains in the distance, exhaling a white mist:
"Cang Liping, barbarians of this scale have traveled to the south of Beifeng, what are you doing these days?"
Cang Liping opened his mouth, but did not speak in the end, and lowered his head:
"The subordinate is incompetent and is willing to be dealt with by military regulations."
Li Qingyan clenched his fists tightly, with murderous intent in his eyes, but in the end he sighed:
"Get up, now that you are employing people, how do you want me to kill you?"
“.”
Seeing that the atmosphere had eased slightly, Yuan Hao, who was also kneeling on the ground beside him, interjected at the right time:
"His Royal Highness Wu Yuan, the commander Cang is not entirely responsible for these barbarian troops going south. They should have smuggled through the Xingyuan Mountains on both sides."
Li Qingyan glanced at Yuan Hao coldly, and did not change his attitude because of the uniform of the Black Scale Army. His voice was very cold:
"The natural disaster and snowstorm make this barbarian feel like a fish in water. I can understand it, and I can understand that the barbarian will go around the mountain. But tell me, why did the ice beast colossus suddenly appear in the south of Beifeng City?"
said,
Li Qingyan took a deep breath, and exhaled a cloud of white mist on the city wall:
"Cang Liping, I saw it when I was waiting outside the city today. The flying scouts left the city at 7:00, and returned at 1:00:00.
"Two quarters of an hour. Can you check the range of a hundred miles?!
"Vice General Cang, tell me, who is the general in charge of scouting near Beifeng City?"
“.”
Lieutenant General Cang heard this, and immediately realized that the other party was going to kill people to gain power, and quickly whispered:
"Your Highness, if the flying scouts continue to go deeper in such heavy snow, they will easily lose their way and will not be able to return."
"Cang Liping, you really dare not kill you?!"
Li Qingyan's voice sharpened: "I usually teach you to love soldiers like children, not to make you spoil them as treasures. This is already dereliction of duty. You really don't know what it means if there is a loss in Beifeng City?!"
Lieutenant General Cang trembled a little, and respectfully spit out a person's name.
Bei Fengcheng, Lou Ji's boudoir.
The relaxed atmosphere of arguing with each other just now is gone.
Xu Yuanan sat quietly on Lou Ji's bed, like a mascot.
While on the side, Lou Ji was holding the Tianxun Yuanjing given by Xu Yuangang, and in front of him, kept contacting some messy people.
Two quarters of an hour later, Lou Ji dissipated the exercises and directly returned the Tianxun Yuanjing Hair to her Xumi Ring.
Seeing this scene, the corners of Xu Yuan's mouth twitched, but he didn't ask for it.
Because I know I want it now, there is a high probability that I will not come back.
Sitting next to him, Lou Ji sighed quietly:
"Chang Tian. If the situation is not right, you follow your sister and return directly to the Imperial Capital."
Hearing this, Xu Yuan frowned slightly:
"I listened to your conversation with those people just now. Isn't the situation still under control?"
Lou Ji looked at Xu Yuan's eyes, her eyes were very complicated:
"Chang Tian, what happened this time is similar to the Nine Lotus Rebellion seventeen years ago."
"Nine Lotus Sect Rebellion" Xu Yuan murmured: "What happened after the establishment of Tian'an Martial Arts Hall?"
Lou Ji nodded, with a silent expression on her beautiful cheeks:
"The Zongmen should have received some information. They want to retaliate against the decision made by the emperor and your father, just like the one they made to the emperor and your mother more than ten years ago. At the time, the emperor's imperial conquest was betrayed and framed. Although it was finally reached purpose, but you also know the outcome."
Xu Yuan opened his mouth, but did not speak.
Lessons.
Zongmen, a huge interest group, taught the emperor a lesson.
And this time, can it be compared with that incident?
After a long silence, Xu Yuan glanced out the window:
"Sister, what happened outside?"
Lou Ji raised Erlang's legs, revealing her snow-white thighs from the side of her skirt, and said faintly:
"Xiao Zuo blew up the Arc de Triomphe in Nancheng in the name of our Tianan Chamber of Commerce."
"Huh?" Xu Yuan was stunned for a moment.
Lou Ji raised a hand and rubbed the center of her eyebrows with her index finger and thumb:
"Don't look at me like that, my sister. There are also capable people in the sect. If my sister can put secret workers inside them, they can naturally do it too."
"Has the secret agent been found out?"
"There are several candidates, but they are not sure yet."
"What about the barbarians?"
Xu Yuan pondered for a while and asked: "Shouzuo blew up the city wall, probably to cooperate with the barbarians to attack the city?"
Lou Ji gave Xu Yuan a weird look, and asked back:
"Why do I feel that Chang Tian is not panicking at all?"
Xu Yuan was dumbfounded, spreading his hands:
"At this time, panic is useless, and the barbarians haven't entered the city yet? Even if the sect wants to reproduce what happened more than ten years ago, the two princes in the city should be the first choice. "
Lou Ji looked at Xu Yuan complicatedly, and said in a low voice:
"Well, the barbarian army appeared in the south of the city."
Hearing this confirmation, Xu Yuan murmured in a low voice while thinking:
"South of the city? The mountain road surrounded by these barbarians?"
Beifengcheng is located on the plain between two mountains. If you detour to the south of Beifengcheng, you must walk on the cliffs of mountains and forests. If you don't pay attention to this kind of place, you will be smashed into meat, and large siege equipment is difficult to transport.
Thinking, Xu Yuan sorted out a general outline of the current situation in the northern border in his mind.
From north to south.
Barbarians harass troops.
In the area of Dali Mountain, Wu Chenghou and Zong Qingsheng.
Hou Tingxian generation, 300,000 elite sects in the northern border.
Bei Fengcheng, Li Qingyan.
Barbarian army.
“.”
And as soon as this outline comes out,
Xu Yuan looked at Lou Ji with a hint of disbelief in his eyes:
"sister,
"This barbarian king
"Do you want to directly eat Dayan's 700,000 elites in the north?"
