Tower of Babel, top floor.
In the vast mist of clouds, a tall figure loomed, and with the cold wind in the sky, the hem of her complicated plain white skirt swayed in the wind.
Tianyuan looked in the direction of the north, a pair of golden eyes shining with strange light.
Between 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 in appearance, but his hair and beard are already gray.
If some high-level sects were here, they would recognize that this middle-aged man was the leader of the Tianxu Sect in southern Xinjiang, Tai Shiran.
Tianyuan glanced at the other party flatly, without asking him to get up. A cold voice came from her lips:
"how?"
Tai Shiran half-knelt on the ground, performed politely, and chuckled:
"Some of my old friends have corresponded with me. They are ready to take action. The time should be set in the next few days."
Tianyuan withdrew her gaze and looked towards the north. She seemed to be able to vaguely see the scene there:
"It's already started."
Tai Shiran's eyes narrowed, and then he lowered his head deeper:
"The master of the pavilion has incredible magical powers and can actually see the northern border thousands of miles away."
Having said this, he paused and asked hesitantly:
"But are we really not going to have a hand in this matter? Maybe we can completely crush the plans of Li Yaoxuan and Xu Yinhe."
Tianyuan's veil is clear and her beautiful face is expressionless:
"The future is no longer visible. Those two people are not simple people. We are already facing hostility from the world when we are born. If we participate rashly, we will be burned and we will just wait and see what happens."
"And the drop of ink has disappeared in Di'an City for more than a month. If he went to the north, such a change might be able to remove the ink from the clear water."
Tai Shiran was slightly silent after hearing this, and said in a deep voice:
"But she is a saint."
Before he finished speaking, Tianyuan's divine gaze without any emotion took a deep look at Tai Shiran.
Upon seeing this, Tai Shiran lowered his head and stopped talking.
Northern Territory.
Beifeng City is located on an important road and 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, it firmly blocked the only way for the barbarians to move south.
But at this moment, something happened to this thousand-year-old city.
When the attack came and fireworks were going off 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.
Shocked.
Puzzled.
However, most of the people in Beifeng City were veterans who had been stationed on the border for a long time. After a brief moment of confusion, shouts blessed by Yuan Qi spread across the southern city wall.
"Don't worry about me, go and prepare the equipment to defend the city!!"
"The City Defense Department asked me to check on the damage to the city wall!"
"Send an order to inform the Yulin Army that barbarians may be attacking!"
"Zhou Ziwu, close the city gate for me!!"
"General Tang Qu, there are still more than half of the convoy outside that have not entered the city. We also have brothers outside to check."
"Fuck you, I told you to lock you up! If it doesn't matter, I'll go over and chop you up now!"
"Start the formation, start the formation!!"
Under the organization of grassroots non-commissioned officers, teams of soldiers were dispatched in units of tens, the defense equipment was loaded, local formations were activated, and the alarm bells sounded!
The heavy city gates at several door openings were directly lowered. The merchants and cargo monsters who were unable to escape were directly crushed to pulp, while the caravans and carriages outside the city that failed to enter the city were instantly chaotic. one slice.
There were constant shouts of cursing, begging for mercy, and people trying to gain connections and enter the city.
But these voices were selectively ignored by the defenders at this moment, at least by those veterans of many battles.
After experiencing the attack, the South City Wall quickly entered a state of operational readiness for war.
While the soldiers at the bottom were actively preparing for battle, a figure flew from the city and arrived at the South Tower one after another.
He is over fifty years old and wears the uniform of the Habayashi Army's deputy general.
Falling on the city wall, the middle-aged man in deputy general's military uniform frowned and stared at the southern horizon. Everything he saw was white snowflakes and white mist, but among the drifting snow, three buildings could be vaguely seen slowly moving towards the city. The moving shadow of Beifeng City.
After watching in silence for a few breaths, the look on the lieutenant's face became solemn.
At this moment, a sound broke through the air, and another person quickly rushed over and landed next to the deputy general.
The visitor looked very bookish, wearing the standard military uniform of a captain. When he saw the deputy general, the bookish young man immediately saluted briefly:
"Vice General Cang."
The middle-aged deputy general glanced sideways:
"Commander Yuan, where are the others?"
"Today, Yuan was coordinating the delivery of supplies at the Chengnan Market. They were close and arrived quickly. Others should still be on their way."
After hearing the brief explanation, Yuan Hao asked directly: "Lieutenant Cang, how is the condition of the city wall?"
Vice Admiral Cang was silent for a moment after hearing this:
"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 by carriage. Who would do such a stupid thing?!"
Vice Admiral Cang shook his head:
"I don't know. It has been blown to pieces and I haven't had time to explore it yet."
Yuan Hao exhaled a breath of white mist, took two steps forward, and glanced at the direction of the fireworks:
“How is the damage to the grass now?”
Vice Admiral Cang’s eyes were a little solemn:
"The city wall was not seriously damaged, only part of the array pattern was destroyed, but the frame was directly blown into the city gate hole. 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 city's garrison is empty, and most of the troops deployed have gone north to surrender to the barbarians.
If barbarians attack, the city may be destroyed directly.
He raised his eyes and looked into the distance,
At this moment, the three black figures that were almost as high as the Beifeng City Wall had slowly moved to twenty miles south of Beifeng City, confronting them from a distance.
Seeing this scene, Yuan Hao's pupils shrank:
"That is."
Lieutenant General Cang's eyes flashed with the light brought about by the running 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. The cost of raising such a war beast in the wilderness of the northern snowfields is not small.
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 this siege was not a feint.
The next moment,
Yuan Hao's tone was filled with murderous intent, and he glanced at several giant military camps in the city: "It is impossible for the barbarians to tamper with our Dayan's bicycle frame. Lieutenant General Cang, this is naked treason."
Lieutenant General Cang was unmoved and just said:
"No matter how stupid the sects in the north are, they cannot do such stupid things. There should be someone else involved in this matter. The top priority now is to defend Beifeng City."
While the two were talking,
The beautiful figure in fiery red clothes floated down.
See someone coming,
Vice Admiral Cang was stunned for a moment, then quickly knelt down to salute and said in a trembling voice:
"Your Highness, you didn't come here secretly, why did you come suddenly?"
"Shut up."
Li Qingyan's cold eyes swept across the two of them, as if they could kill, and Li Qingyan said coldly:
"If I don't come forward, who will unify the army in Beifeng City now?"
"."
On the city wall, the wind and snow were blowing, and there was silence.
Nowadays, in order to exterminate the barbarians, almost all the elites in Beifeng City have come out, and due to the natural disaster of blizzard, they are left alone in the snowfield.
The only ones that Beifeng City could directly dispatch were the 10,000 Black Scale Army under Yuan Hao and the Yu Lin Army who had retreated to the rear to receive reinforcements.
The total number is only thirty thousand.
However, although the elites of each sect are nestled in Houting County, they have more or less left some troops to protect their hometowns. However, the combined armies of many sects and aristocratic families roughly number one hundred thousand.
But if there is no one with the unifying power to stand up and integrate it, it will probably end up like the previous siege of Beifeng.
They push each other's buttons and conserve each other's strength. No one wants to fight a tough battle and defend the barbarians' main attack ground.
This sudden change forced Li Qingyan to stand up.
Li Qingyan's red eyes ignited, he stared at the huge black mountains in the distance, and exhaled a breath of white mist:
"Cang Liping, barbarians of this size have circled south of Beifeng. What are you doing these days?"
Cang Liping opened his mouth, but in the end he said nothing and lowered his head:
"My subordinates are incompetent and willing to be dealt with according to military regulations."
Li Qingyan clenched his fists, murderous intent surged 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, interrupted at the right time:
"Your Highness Wu Yuan, Commander Cang cannot entirely blame these barbarian troops for going south. They should have sneaked across from the Xingyuan Mountains and Forests on both sides."
Li Qingyan glanced at Yuan Hao coldly, but did not change his attitude because of the uniform of the Black Scale Army. His voice was cold:
"The natural disaster and blizzard made this barbarian like a fish in water. I can understand it, and I can understand the barbarian's ability to go around the mountain. But tell me, why can such a big target like the ice beast colossus suddenly appear in the south of Beifeng City?"
Saying,
Li Qingyan took a deep breath and exhaled a cloud of white mist on the city wall:
"Sang Li Ping Bengong saw it today when he was waiting outside the city. The flying scouts left the city at the seventh quarter of the hour and returned at the quarter of the hour.
"Can we check a hundred miles radius in two quarters of an hour?!
"Lieutenant General Cang, tell me, who is the general in charge of scouting near Beifeng City?"
"."
When Lieutenant General Cang heard this, he immediately realized that the other party wanted to kill someone to establish his authority, and quickly whispered:
"Your Highness, if the flying scouts continue to penetrate deeper into the heavy snow, they will easily lose their way and be unable to return."
"Cang Liping, do you really think that I dare not kill you?!"
Li Qingyan's voice was sharp: "I usually teach you to love soldiers like children, not to let you spoil them into treasures. This is already dereliction of duty. Do you really not know what it means if Beifeng City is damaged?!"
Lieutenant General Cang's figure was trembling a little, and he spoke out a person's name respectfully.
Beifeng City, 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.
Lou Ji on the side was holding the Tianxun Yuanjing given by Xu Yuangang, and was constantly contacting some random people in front of him.
Two quarters of an hour later, Lou Ji dispersed the technique and directly returned the Tianxun Crystal to her Sumeru Ring.
Seeing this scene, the corners of Xu Yuan's mouth twitched, but he didn't make any demands.
Because I know if I want it now, there is a high probability that I won’t come back.
Sitting next to him, Lou Ji sighed quietly:
"Changtian. If the situation is not right, you can follow your sister directly back to the Imperial Capital."
Hearing this, Xu Yuan frowned slightly:
"I heard the phone call you just had with those people. Isn't the situation still under control?"
Lou Ji looked into Xu Yuan's eyes, which were very complicated:
"Changtian, what happened this time is similar to the Nine Lotus Rebellion seventeen years ago."
"The Nine Lotus Sect Rebellion" Xu Yuan murmured: "The thing that was derived from the establishment of Tianan Martial Arts School?"
Lou Ji nodded, with a calm expression on her beautiful cheeks:
"The sect must have received some information. They want to retaliate against the emperor and your father's decision, just like the decision they made against the emperor and your mother more than ten years ago. The emperor went on a personal expedition and was betrayed and framed. Although it was finally achieved. The purpose, but you also know the outcome.”
Xu Yuan opened his mouth but said nothing.
lesson.
The huge interest group Zongmen 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 crossed her legs, revealing her white thighs from the side skirt, and said quietly:
"Xizuo blew up the Arc de Triomphe in Nancheng in the name of our Tianan Chamber of Commerce."
"Ah?" Xu Yuan was stunned for a moment.
Lou Ji raised a hand and rubbed the center of her brow with her index finger and thumb:
"Don't look at me like this, sister. There are capable people in the sect. If my sister can place a spy within them, they can naturally do the same."
"Have you found out the details?"
"There are a few candidates but we're not sure yet."
"What about the barbarians?"
Xu Yuan pondered for a moment and asked, "Should Xizuo blow up the city wall to cooperate with the barbarians in attacking the city, right?"
Lou Ji gave Xu Yuan a strange look and asked:
"Why do I feel like you're not panicking at all, Changtian?"
Xu Yuan was speechless and spread his hands:
"Panic has no effect at this time, and haven't the barbarians not yet entered the city? Even if the sect wants to repeat what happened more than ten years ago, the two princes in the city should be the first choice. I am just a playboy and I am not worthy of their mobilization of troops. "
Lou Ji gave Xu Yuan a complicated look and whispered:
"Well, the barbarian army has appeared in the south of the city."
Hearing these words of confirmation, Xu Yuan thought and murmured in a low voice:
"South of the city? The mountain road that these barbarians go around?"
Beifeng City is located on the plain between two mountains. If you take a detour to the south of Beifeng City, you must go through the mountains and forest cliffs. If you are not careful, you will be smashed into a pulp in such a place, and large siege equipment is difficult to transport.
Thinking about it, Xu Yuan sorted out a rough outline of the current situation in the northern border in his mind.
From north to south.
Barbarians harass the troops.
In the Dali Mountain area, Wuchenghou and Zong Qingsheng were born.
The first generation of Hou Ting Line has 300,000 elite members of the northern sect.
Beifeng City, Li Qingyan.
Barbarian army.
"."
And as soon as this outline appears,
Xu Yuan looked at Lou Ji with a hint of disbelief:
"sister,
"This barbarian king
"Do you want to directly eat the 700,000 elites of Great Yan in the north?"
