As soon as they came back, Jing Hexuan arranged for two teams of soldiers to go north to investigate.
Xincheng was the only way to enter Taoyuan City. They passed through Xincheng and headed north, and unexpectedly discovered a huge human army less than 500 miles away from the northern suburbs of Xincheng!
"Those soldiers behaved very strangely. Their faces were as stiff as zombies, but they didn't have the necrotic skin color of zombies. There were a full 50,000 of them, and there were no zombies around."
Everyone fell into silence after listening to the soldiers report their findings.
Jing Hexuan pondered: "If they continue at this speed, they will be able to arrive here early tomorrow morning."
Xu Qing's face was condensed: "Are the city defenses ready?"
Jing Hexuan nodded: "I'm in charge of Taoyuan City. Wen Changjun goes to the city wall at the junction of Jincheng and us. Jincheng is connected to Xincheng, and that side is also within the scope of the northward route. We can be prepared for any changes."
Shi Zeqi asked: "Is it possible for fifty thousand soldiers to be divided into several groups?"
Jing Hexuan: "Yes, but it's not necessary."
Shi Zeqi pondered after hearing the words and understood what he meant: "There are a lot of people in our three gates now. If they are separated, we will definitely be able to defend them."
Jing Hexuan nodded.
"Yes, so Li Xiayu will not do this. Since he is coming, he must have a certain understanding of our city gate layout."
In fact, he knew in his heart that based on his many years of understanding of Li Xiayu, after finding out their mutual abilities, he would definitely choose to concentrate his forces to attack one place directly.
His target is Shi Lingyao. When everyone is on guard, any tricks are useless and not as effective as clear strength.
Li Xiayu dared to raise his troops and go south now, he must be confident that he has comparable abilities.
Thinking that before they left the imperial capital, the four-faced beast and the zombie that Shi Lingyao left for Mr. Yuan had eaten her blood.
If the upgrade of Shi Lingyao's blood can affect such a long distance, perhaps there has really been some different progress over there.
On a cold snowy night, people braved the heavy snow and waited silently.
A group of humans described running in panic on the snow.
The snow was falling heavily, and it was difficult to see the appearance of those people, but judging from their clothes, they seemed to be just ordinary people.
On the tall city wall, the soldiers silently raised their bows and arrows and took aim.
A figure who was the fastest ran at the front of the crowd. He waved and shouted: "It's me! Zhang Xing! Open the door! Open the door quickly!"
There were dozens of people in this group, and they formed a long queue. The people at the end were even obscured from sight by the thick white snow and fog.
Jing Hexuan stood on top of the city wall, squinted his eyes and raised his voice: "Open the door."
Immediately, a soldier announced: "Open the city gate!"
"Open the city gate!"
"Open the city gate——"
The huge city gate was knotted with dragons and dragons, and slowly opened a crack.
Zhang Xing, who was rushing at the front, saw the door open, turned around immediately, and disappeared in a flash.
The people at the front of the team finally rushed forward and rushed towards the gate of Weng City.
A young girl carried an older aunt on her back, quickly rushed into the city gate, put the person on the ground, turned around and left again.
Zhang Xing's figure appeared instantly, carrying two older-looking men on one side and then turned around and ran away.
One of the middle-aged men was holding a head full of snow, panting: "Thank you, thank you... I'm really ashamed..."
The flying snow blurred people's vision. The soldiers on the city wall stood there like sculptures, staring at the white mist not far away.
A soldier at the city gate sent a message: "Captain Zhang Xing said that Li Xiayu's team is less than three miles behind them!"
The soldiers also brought up a man with a head full of snow, his eyebrows and beard turned snow-white from the frost.
This was the man who was first carried into the city by Xuxu, who had Sai Juechen's ability.
"I'm, I'm Wu Da. It's Shunfeng Er's ability. The leader of the village sent it down for everyone to use."
Jing Hexuan said without any nonsense: "Where is the army?"
"It was less than three miles behind us. That was the speed distance that I could hear," Wu Da said, closing his eyes to feel it, and frowning, "I have to go down..."
Before he could finish his words, he felt his collar tightening, making his throat hurt. Before he could even cough, he found that he was already standing under the city gate!
Jing Hexuan was beside him: "Don't be in a daze."
"Oh! Oh oh..."
Wu Da quickly climbed down and placed his ears on the thick snow.
Thick snow will cover up part of the movement, but for those with the ability to listen to the wind, as long as they are close to the ground, no matter what the environment on the ground is, it will not affect the ability to capture sounds.
More and more villagers entered the city gate that was opened a crack, and some of the weakest people who stayed behind were brought back and forth by several ability users.
A woman brought over by Xuxu didn't want to come in, so she stood guard at the door and stared at where she was coming from. She kept muttering: "Faster, faster...Old Huang, you are in trouble, run faster!" A little!"
A few more people stumbled past the city gate and rushed in.
Wu Da's expression suddenly changed, and before he could straighten up, he shouted: "They are coming! They are just a mile away!"
Before he finished speaking, a sharp sound of breaking through the air suddenly sounded and exploded in the air, not far from their city gate!
This is a sounding arrow used for positioning and signaling!
Sure enough, almost immediately, a row of thin arrows cut through the dense snow curtain and came roaring!
Zhang Xing rushed over with a middle-aged man in his arms, and behind them was a dense rain of life-threatening arrows.
The woman shouted in a broken voice: "Old Huang!"
That's too late.
Everyone in the city thought so, and some even couldn't bear to close their eyes, not daring to watch what happened next.
Jing Hexuan was holding Wu Da in one hand and the almost collapsed woman in the other hand, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
A figure rushed out of the city gate against the crowd and appeared behind Zhang Xing.
"drink!"
A huge dragon of flames rose into the sky, rolling and rotating in the air. The neat rain of arrows was immediately shattered, and landed with a crackle on the large open space at Zhang Xing's heels.
Zhang Xing didn't even look back and shouted: "Close the door!"
"close the door!"
"close the door--"
"boom--"
The huge city gate rubbed Zhang Xing's clothes and closed with a bang!
Lin Yan shattered the arrow rain with one blow, stepped on his dragon and tapped twice on the city wall, and finally landed on the city wall.
He turned and looked down.
Inside the city gate, Zhang Xing collapsed on the ground and gasped for air, surrounded by a couple hugging each other and crying with joy.
Lin Yan roared angrily: "You damn Zhang Xing! I risked my life to save you! Shut me out!"
Everyone looked up, unable to see clearly the figures on the high wall in the dense snow and fog, but from the sound, they knew that the person who had just used such a powerful fire dragon move was a very young boy.
Jing Hexuan looked at Zhang Xing: "You follow Wu Da, and he will report the news in time."
Zhang Xing: "Yes!"
He returned to the tall city wall and looked far into the distance. Faintly, in the whiteness covered by heavy snow, there was a huge black shadow gradually approaching.
Then, everyone on the city wall saw the huge, dark army with tens of thousands of people.
