Jiang Yuxuan looked at Aiqian City not far away with a calm expression and said: "It seems that we must hurry up and enter the city immediately to find out the whereabouts of Ma Xiaoke."
The city was in a mess. The doors of the shops on both sides of the street were closed. Some people ran away before they had time to lock the doors of the shops. The open shops were looted by passers-by, leaving only the wooden doors on both sides, hanging quietly on the door frames, in the wind. Under the blowing, it makes a "crunching" sound from time to time.
"This is too miserable." Murong Yi sighed: "I think back then, Aiqian City was the most prosperous city in the southeast as a royal city."
"War can set a city back five years in one go." Jiang Yuxuan said with emotion: "If we meet Demon Slayer Xu Gong, it may even go back ten years."
"Fortunately, Central Continent will be unified soon." Murong Yi said happily.
"When the continent is unified, development will surely enter a golden age. By then, the unified mechanism will make the continent more prosperous."
"But what should we do now?" Murong Yi poured a basin of ice water coldly.
Jiang Yuxuan looked at the flags on Aixian City and the troops running past from time to time and said, "It seems that Aixian City is still in Ma Xiaoke's hands."
"Report, Jiang Tingguan." The soldier who was inquiring from the front came back and reported: "Jiang Tingguan, Murong Army Commander, Aiqian City is still owned by the Aiqian Kingdom, but there was a battle just before, and Ma Xiaoke was defeated. Now Xu Gong of Roy Kingdom is attacking Aiqi City outside Aixi City.”
"Where's Ma Xiaoke?" Jiang Yuxuan asked.
The soldier continued to reply: "Outside the city, after being defeated by Xiu Jie, he wanted to retreat into the city, but his retreat was blocked by Xu Gong. I'm afraid I won't be able to hold on for long."
"Who is guarding the city?" Jiang Yuxuan continued to ask.
"The heroes guarding the city have been killed by Xu Gong. Now there are no heroes in the city. Only some troops are left to make the final resistance under the leadership of several banner commanders."
If Aiqian City is captured and Ma Xiaoke is killed, then the trip south will be meaningless.
Jiang Yuxuan said anxiously: "Since there are no heroes defending the city, we will take over."
"What?" Lin Ding opened his mouth in shock: "No way, there are only a few of us, how can we take over the city? Besides, it is useless to take over. Xu Gong will destroy it in an instant."
"What nonsense are you talking about? Just do what Jiang Tingguan said." After Murong Yi finished speaking, he immediately drew out the Ming-breaking Bow and prepared to fight.
"Okay, Xu Gong is at the west gate. Let's rush to the west gate first." Jiang Yuxuan led everyone to the west gate.
Outside the West City Gate, Xu Gong was standing under the tower enjoying the pleasure of attacking the city. No, it should be the pleasure of massacre.
Xu Gong was not in a hurry to conquer the city, but slowly killed them one by one. It felt like he wanted to kill everyone before entering the city.
The city tower was piled with corpses, and four to five hundred archers were trying to resist. However, they were suppressed by Xu Gong's army below the city tower and could only hide under the protective wall, with few opportunities to take action.
Jiang Yuxuan, Murong Yi and others ran to the square inside the West City Gate. At this time, the city gate has been breached, and there are still many Ma Xiaoke's troops fighting with Xu Gong's army outside the city, but they are basically being slowly surrounded and killed in a desperate battle.
Troops were constantly rushing out of the city gates in the inner square to support friendly forces outside the city.
"Who is in charge now?" Jiang Yuxuan shouted loudly.
It's just that the inner square was in chaos, and no one among the people walking back and forth heard Jiang Yuxuan's words.
"What's going on? I want to ask you a question." Murong Yi grabbed a soldier and asked, "Call your person in charge to come over."
The soldier glanced at Murong Yi and asked with a panicked and surprised expression, "Who are you?"
"This is our Jiang court official, who has been ordered to take over the city guarding work. Call your person in charge to come over."
The soldier had never heard of Court Officer Jiang, but Court Officer was a top official. Although he had never heard of Court Officer, he did not dare to offend him and said repeatedly: "Yes, yes, I will invite the three flag commanders to come over. "
Soon three people wearing flag commander uniforms came over. When they saw Jiang Yuxuan, Murong Yi and others, their expressions immediately changed.
One of them, a chubby and short middle-aged man, said angrily: "Who are you? How dare you pretend to be a court judge here."
Jiang Yuxuan immediately said: "Your city can no longer be defended. You can only defend it by listening to us. By then, all military achievements will be yours."
Seeing Jiang Yuxuan speaking calmly and confidently, the three flag leaders looked surprised.
They had originally planned to resist for a while and withdraw immediately, but now a man who claimed to be a court official ran out of the city and claimed that he could defend the city.
A thin old man on the left forced a smile and said: "Hahaha, you guys are crazy about wanting to be famous. You come to the battlefield to defraud military merit. You don't know how you will die."
After the old flag leader finished speaking, Murong Yi immediately turned the bow in his hand and pointed it at the city gate. He placed the arrow on the bow string with his right hand. When he loosened his fingers, the arrow turned into a streak of white light, cutting through the sky and passing through. The city gate directly shot a flag commander under Xu Gong's army in front of the formation to the ground.
"What? This." The three flag commanders looked shocked and looked at Murong Yi in disbelief.
"I am Murong Yi." Murong Yi put away the Ming-breaking Bow in his hand.
"Murong Yi?"
The three flag captains looked at the people in front of them even more surprised, with expressions of disbelief on their faces.
Murong Yi's name may be unknown to everyone in the entire Central Continent. Now that he appears here, the three flag commanders don't know what to do. If they resist, they will definitely not be Murong Yi's opponent. Even if they take advantage of their military strength, they will not be able to defeat Murong Yi. If Yi is so close, he will definitely be killed by Murong Yi.
If we hand over our command, it would be the same as surrendering to the enemy.
"No, this is the city of our Aisi Kingdom. I'm afraid your Sesha Kingdom has already crossed the border." A chubby and short flag leader said earlier.
"But do you still have a choice?" Jiang Yuxuan continued: "Now you only have to believe in us. We will help you defend the city. If you win, the military glory will be yours. If you lose, at most it will be the same as now. Is there any difference? "
The three flag commanders looked at Jiang Yuxuan, their expressions became more and more surprised, and they thought to themselves, could the person called Jiang Yuxuan be the court official of Sesha Kingdom, Jiang Yuxuan, who was known as the number one strategic figure in Central Continent.
"Are you Jiang Yuxuan?" the old flag leader asked in disbelief.
"Not bad." Jiang Yuxuan replied affirmatively.
Ma Xiaoke was defeated, and Aixian City was quickly breached. In fact, it should be said that it had been breached, but Xu Gong was just massacring outside the city for fun and not entering the city.
Now, perhaps the only ones who can turn the tide of the war are the people in front of them. Even if they can't turn the tide of the war, a hero with super high combat power like Murong Yi can still have more fighting power to defend the city.
"Okay, in that case, we will obey your command, but we are still the army of the Essie Kingdom, and you are just helping us defend the city."
"good."
