On the city wall, Fang Fengjin's face was ashen and he held the long knife tightly in his hand, but he could only watch Li Xuan being protected by the shield array and retreating step by step.
His teeth were gritted tightly, and the sentence "Exit Meiling Pass" came to his lips, but he swallowed it back alive.
Although his intuition told Fang Fengjin that the Meiling Pass was now a trap, how could he retreat now?
"Kill, don't give them the chance to use Wengcheng to kill people." Fang Fengjin was heartbroken and rushed forward.
Zhang Wanyu followed him, staring at Li Xuan ahead with a wary face.
Although Fang Fengjin did not have Zhang Wanyu's own guess, Zhang Wanyu could also see it.
The King of Nanchang is known for his cunning and cunning. His willingness to retreat so easily shows that the trap in front of him has already been prepared.
At this moment, as if aware of Zhang Wanyu's gaze, Li Xuan turned her head and looked directly at Zhang Wanyu.
There was a hint of sarcasm in Li Xuan's eyes, as if to say: Yes, it's a trap, this is a trap, don't come if you can!
Seeing Zhang Wanyu clenching her fists, Li Xuan smiled coldly.
As he retreated quickly, Li Xuan's eyes fell on the barbican below the city.
At this moment, countless figures are retreating quickly, including the soldiers who previously operated the catapults and the archers on the well railing. They are all retreating at this moment.
On the city wall, protected by countless shield formations, Li Xuan was also retreating.
Behind the female wall not far away, countless Tianyin cultists had already come up to kill them. Under the leadership of Fang Fengjin, they rushed towards Li Xuan crazily.
But unfortunately, the walls of Wengcheng were narrow and could not accommodate too many people. Under the rain of arrows, they could not move forward a few steps at a time.
Although Li Xuan was retreating, he was retreating steadily. Half of the archers on the city wall were preventing Fang Fengjin and the others from approaching, while the other half were frantically hunting down all the Tianyin cultists in the city.
In this very short period of time, the number of casualties among Tianyin cultists increased rapidly.
But at this moment, Li Xuan's main attention was no longer here. Although he was still looking at Zhang Wanyu and Fang Fengjin, his ears had already been perked up, listening carefully to the sounds from the southeast.
The wind is getting stronger.
Whoosh!
…
Blood flowed all over the ground, but both the Wengcheng and the city wall were quickly occupied by the Tianyin Sect.
They fought back to Meiling Pass.
More people fought towards the outside of Wengcheng, their eyes filled with red.
A spacious street appears in front of you, and one mile away is the south gate of Meiling Pass.
Exiting the south gate is the world of Wuzhou.
As long as they get out of Wuzhou, their plight will be solved immediately.
The most important thing is that there is not a single official or soldier from the imperial court on the entire street.
At this moment, Fang Fengjin's voice sounded from the city wall: "Get in line, everyone get in line immediately!"
Looking at the empty streets in front of him, Fang Fengjin's heart palpitated, but he couldn't call people to retreat, he could only shout for order.
Fang Fengjin had great prestige in the Tianyin Sect. With an order, the people in front immediately began to form a team. However, the next moment, the organized formation immediately became chaotic again.
More and more people poured in from behind, directly breaking up the queue in front.
Fang Fengjin turned around subconsciously and saw more followers rushing into Meiling Pass crazily.
They wanted to rush into every corner of Meiling Pass, so there was no need to think about slowly reorganizing the team.
The person in front couldn't control himself at all, and was immediately rushed to pieces.
Even though Fang Fengjin from the city was shouting with all his strength, it still didn't work.
At this moment, Zhang Wanyu's voice rang out: "Everyone, rush out of the south gate immediately to hunt down the King of Nanchang."
"Come out of the south gate and hunt down the King of Nanchang!" I don't know how many people shouted, and they rushed towards the south gate.
Fang Fengjin glanced at Zhang Wanyu and was about to say something when suddenly, he turned his head and looked to the southeast.
A stronger wind suddenly came from the southeast.
In a courtyard in the corner of Southeast Guancheng, a trace of fire suddenly flashed.
Fang Fengjin's heart suddenly sank. At this moment, he knew that it was already too late.
Fang Fengjin suddenly turned to look at Zhang Wanyu: "Wanyu, do you still remember that my brother once asked you whether the King of Nanchang knows the art of calling wind and rain, right?"
Zhang Wanyu was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Yes, regarding this matter, Wanyu once asked the saint for advice. She can call the wind and rain. There are not many people in the world who can do it, and among the few people who can do it, Nanchang is definitely not included. king."
"No, Wanyu, you are wrong, he can." Fang Fengjin suddenly interrupted Zhang Wanyu, and then pointed directly to the southeast.
A raging fire was already burning there, and it was rushing towards them at an extremely fast speed.
The fire grew stronger and stronger, and so did the wind.
Zhang Wanyu suddenly felt cold in her hands and feet.
She has not forgotten that at this time, almost all the Tianyin disciples are frantically rushing into Meiling Pass. If they take one step too late, they will all be buried in a sea of fire.
"Close the city gate, close the city gate quickly!" Zhang Wanyu suddenly thought of something and roared loudly. Then, when she saw Fang Fengjin's cold eyes, she was stunned. She forgot that they had opened the door before. During the Meiling Pass, a highly corrosive green vitriol solution was used.
There is only a huge hole in the city gate now, which cannot be closed at all.
With a "squeak", right in front, the originally tightly closed south gate of Meiling Pass was opened directly. In an instant, the people who had just rushed to the city gate immediately rushed out of the south gate.
However, at this time, most people did not notice any flames igniting.
Once discovered by them, they will run faster and more people will flock behind.
"Why, isn't he afraid that we will really run away?" Zhang Wanyu's face was full of astonishment.
"Perhaps, what he is afraid of is not that we will run away, but that we will not be able to run away." Fang Fengjin's face suddenly darkened.
He looked up at the flames rising in the distance. Urged by the wind, they rushed towards the main street faster and faster.
Gritting his teeth, Fang Fengjin grabbed Zhang Wanyu and said with a cold face: "Let's go, let's go quickly!"
"Leave? Why are you leaving? Go out from the south gate and kill the King of Nanchang. Even if we lose, we will definitely win." Zhang Wanyu also looked at Fang Fengjin with a cold face.
"Because he is waiting for us!" After Fang Fengjin finished speaking, he immediately turned around and headed towards the north gate.
Behind him, a burst of noise suddenly sounded: "Fire, there is fire."
The sudden sound made Zhang Wanyu shudder. The next moment, she looked at the panicked people and shouted loudly: "South Gate, rush out of the South Gate, and people from the North Gate, hurry up and retreat."
While shouting loudly, Zhang Wanyu quickly headed towards the north gate.
Fang Fengjin had made the matter very clear just now. The King of Nanchang was outside the south gate at the moment, and he was waiting for them.
Once the flames in the city ignite, Tianyin's support will be immediately cut off. Even if they rush out, they will face countless traps that have been prepared for a long time.
But this is better than being directly burned to death by flames.
Zhang Wanyu quickly ran to the city gate, and then saw a huge catapult thrown from the city gate by Fang Fengjin.
"Ah!" There were wailings immediately under the city wall.
However, Zhang Wanyu breathed a sigh of relief when she saw this scene, but then she heard more wailing sounds coming from behind.
She subconsciously turned around and saw the fierce flames burning rapidly in the middle street.
The fierce flames even rushed to the other side.
The entire Meiling Pass was already burning.
Even if she was standing on the city wall now, she could feel the hot heat coming from the front.
"What should we do next?" Zhang Wanyu turned her head and looked at Fang Fengjin, her voice deepened unknowingly.
"Retreat, lead everyone back to the camp." Fang Fengjin's face was equally ugly, but his expression was unusually firm.
"Withdraw, we are going to capture this place soon. Why withdraw?" Zhang Wanyu blurted out one sentence.
Fang Fengjin looked at him deeply: "What are we going to do if we don't withdraw? Are we going to let others watch our brothers and sisters being swallowed up by the fire, but we can't do anything?"
Zhang Wanyu couldn't help but paused and turned around.
The long street was full of Tianyin cultists who were under the flames, panicked and helpless with nowhere to escape.
…
With a "whoosh" sound, a row of crossbow arrows were inserted straight into the ground in front of the city gate.
The Tianyin cultists who had just rushed out of the city gate immediately stopped.
In front of them were five rows of more than fifty Pou Zhang Crossbows. Behind them, there were more officers and soldiers holding crossbows.
But what really concerned them was the team of Qian Niu Guards wearing red clothes and golden armor.
At the front of the Qianniu Guard is Li Xuan, who is wearing black clothes and black armor.
They had seen this outfit countless times on the city walls before.
"Bi Peo Bi Peo!" Sounds of bursting air came from behind. The Tianyin cultists under the city gate suddenly felt a burst of hot air rushing towards their faces. Behind them, more people were rushing out crazily.
But because of the obstruction from the people in front, he could only retreat to both sides.
"Those who lie on the ground live, those who stand die!" Li Xuan's cold voice rang in the ears of all Tianyin believers.
"Kill!" A Tianyin Cult leader wearing chainmail raised his knife in great annoyance, but...
With a "swish" sound, a long arrow shot from the front, then penetrated his chest hard, and then directly nailed the man to the ground.
Li Xuan, who was on a tall horse, looked at everyone opposite him coldly, and slowly raised his right hand: "I will count three words. If you are still standing, I will kill you without mercy! Three, two, one..."
With a bang, almost all the Tianyin cultists fell down in an instant. Even if there were a few who didn't lie down, they all had just escaped from the city. At this time, they saw the people in front of them lying down. , also quickly lay down.
Li Xuan looked towards the city gate. At this time, although there were still many people rushing out, almost all of them were on fire.
At this moment, a bucket of cold water poured down from the city gate, directly extinguishing all the fire on the burning man.
"Your Majesty has a bodhisattva heart." Qiu Zhenmu, Zhou Shen, Xu Jian, and Yan Tao bowed respectfully to Li Xuan.
"Okay, everyone who should have run out has run out, and those who shouldn't have run out have not run out. Let me tell you, wait for two hours, and then rush down the mountain road and wipe out all the rebels in one fell swoop."
Li Xuan's fists were clenched at some point, and the murderous intent in his eyes was clearly visible.
