Fairy, Please Listen to My Explanation Chapter 253: Beifeng fell
"Ah"
A soft sigh sounded, and Xu Yuan knew the meaning of Li Qingyan's words very well.
From the moment the barbarian army detoured to the south of the city, the fall of Beifeng City was already doomed.
When it falls, it does not depend on the determination and morale of the defenders, but on how much the barbarians are willing to pay for the northern closure of the city.
If you want to change, if you want to break the game, you can only fight an eternal battle in which you win more with less.
Li Qingyan did this, but failed.
The king of barbarians is not Sun Shiwan.
Although Li Qingyan gained a lot from this trip, given the absolute difference in military strength, even the barbarians would lose twice as much as them. fail.
The post-war statistical file records that there are about 60,000 battle-ready soldiers left in Beifeng City.
But the problem is that most of these 60,000 soldiers are second-line frontier troops with only eight or nine ranks of cultivation. The two real elites in the city have been disabled in the decisive battle in Nancheng.
And the more serious situation is far more than that,
Nowadays, there is a shortage of source crystals in the Great Formation of Beifeng City, and the formation pattern of South City has been completely destroyed.
In the silence,
Xu Yuan suddenly understood Li Qingyan's plan:
"Are you going out of the city to show the enemy weakness?"
"Not quite."
Li Qingyan sat on the table behind him, raised his fair chin, looked at the high beams of the barracks with his phoenix eyes, and spoke leisurely:
"My son-in-law, you have to prepare both ways for marching and fighting. If this trip is successful, the siege of Beifeng can be solved. If it fails, it can also cause great damage to the barbarian army, so that they dare not pay more The price is to forcibly attack the city."
Nowadays, the Beifeng City does not have the protection of a large formation. The barbarians only need to continue bombarding the city with those powerful trebuchets from a distance, and they can take down the city that has blocked them from going south for thousands of years without bloodshed. The giant city of Beifeng.
Being able to take down this remnant city of Beifeng without bloodshed by time, the barbarian king will naturally not waste his troops to attack in vain.
And Li Qingyan wanted this result.
If the barbarians really waited so long, the high-level cultivators she sent to Dali Mountain for help would have been enough for Wu Chenghou and Zong Qingsheng's class teachers to come back for help.
At that time, there will be a "cloud energy bullet" to disperse the snowstorm, and the entire barbarian army will be the turtle in the urn.
Silence spread in the barracks, Xu Yuan suddenly said quietly:
"That being said, my act of detonating the 'Cloud Qi Bomb' in Houting County really ruined your plan, Qingyan."
His behavior shocked the snake and let the barbarians know this killer move in advance.
After learning that the blizzard in Houting County was scattered by Dayan's celestial weapon, and the elite of the sect began to go south, the barbarian king was left with a desperate choice.
Regardless of the loss, continue to storm the ruined city of Beifeng, occupy Beifeng before the arrival of the Zongmen elite, and completely block the 700,000 elites of Dayan in the snow field.
Li Qingyan has no intention of blaming:
"My son-in-law, you also did bad things with good intentions. The barbarian king should not dare to go to the battlefield after being seriously injured. If it is properly dispatched, it is not difficult to hold those barbarians for two days with the current military strength in the city. The probability is that these barbarians cannot be completely wiped out."
Pause,
Li Qingyan stared at Xu Yuan, pursed his lips and smiled: "Okay, follow me to the city wall for a walk, I need to show a stable military spirit over there."
The Habayashi barracks was much empty, the soldiers who were patrolling in the barracks were gone, only a few generals and orderly armored soldiers were running among them to deliver orders.
Out of the camp, Xu Yuan and Li Qingyan rode a steed along the empty avenue towards the city wall.
The catapults of the barbarians continued to bombard everything in Beifeng City.
White and clean snowflakes fell silently from the sky like catkins, disturbing but not dusty, and gently fell on the ruins.
All the way through, Xu Yuan was silent all the way.
The horse's hoof treads the snow, leaving a hoofprint on the road.
Some people wailed for help in the ruins, but no one paid any attention.
Because a warrior did not want to go to the city wall to fight against the enemy, he was held down and tortured away under the pursuit of the Zongmen frontier army.
There was a young man sitting beside the ruins with a numb face.
There are also frontier soldiers who shuttle through the ruins to rescue the people.
When the word war falls on the top of a person's head, it is the weight of Mount Tai.
The two of them drove across a street, and when they arrived in Nancheng, Xu Yuan frowned involuntarily.
The battlefield here is still not cleaned up.
Corpse
Bodies large and small, complete or mutilated.
The cleared area around the city wall was filled with the corpses of the Beifeng defenders. With this amount of white cloth, it was no longer enough. Cover up, so that they will not directly expose the corpse to the air.
Xu Yuan originally thought that he should have adapted to this kind of picture, but every time he saw it, he still couldn't help but stir up waves in his heart.
A few hours ago, they were probably still laughing and cursing with their comrades, talking about where the servants serve better, and if they can survive and pay the military salary, they will go have a good time together.
After a few hours, they became cold corpses that could never speak.
War
"Consort."
Li Qingyan's voice suddenly came from beside him.
He heard the words and looked back.
She looked at the bones of these soldiers, but her voice was very calm:
"You remember what you said under Beifeng City."
Xu Yuan lowered his eyes, nodded slightly, and uttered three words:
"I will never forget."
Tombstone
To honor those who died in battle.
No matter what happens in the future, at least at this moment, they all died for the great inflammation.
After the words fell, the two of them didn't speak any more.
The arrival of Li Qingyan soon caused waves among the soldiers.
Not only the Habayashi Army, but even the soldiers of the Zongmen Frontier Army showed a little excitement in their eyes.
A place like the army is very complicated to say the least, but it is also very simple to say, especially in this extraordinary feudal dynasty.
Soldiers always have a different kind of admiration for brave generals, not to mention Li Qingyan, a royal princess who is a nobleman.
And,
At this moment of darkness and confusion in the future, they need a "god" as their spiritual sustenance.
As the person who personally cut off the barbarian general flag and one arm of the barbarian king, Li Qingyan became the "god" they needed in their hearts.
As the snow on the sky is getting bigger and bigger, the soldiers' field of vision is getting smaller and smaller.
As time goes by,
Under the circumstances that the large formation was unable to maintain, most of the high-level disciples of the sect took the opportunity to flee, and also took away part of the high-level combat power in Beifeng City.
However, Li Zhaoyuan perfectly completed Li Qingyan's explanation to him.
Beifeng City, which had been nearly paralyzed after a fierce battle, resumed operation under his methodical dispatch.
Not only warriors, but even many ordinary people in the city were mobilized under the organization of his prince.
Dispatch source crystals to recharge the formation, a carload of defense equipment is pulled out of the storage, and then sent to the city wall, the armor of the dead soldiers is stripped off and distributed to the temporarily recruited warriors .
The progress of preparations for the entire Beifeng City was orderly under Li Zhaoyuan's governance.
But unfortunately, time is still not on their side.
The time left by the barbarians to Beifeng City was not enough for Li Zhaoyuan to mobilize the entire city's army and civilians.
Among the blizzard, the sky was as dark as ink, and the alarm bell rang suddenly and long above Beifeng.
The barbarians started their siege again.
The first night,
The barbarian army began to aggressively attack the southern city wall, which was not guarded by a large formation. About 70,000 chivalrous regiments and **** fighters were thrown into the battlefield in batches, and the southern city wall was completely turned into a millstone of flesh and blood.
The second day,
After a night of bitter fighting, these recruited warriors were replaced by the city wall due to excessive losses.
Li Qingyan personally led the mixed Habayashi Army and Black Scale Army, repelling several barbarian attacks.
However, due to the shortage of soldiers, even Li Qingyan's army was unable to maintain the long city defense line of Beifeng Nancheng.
At two o'clock in the application period, Li Zhaoyuan dispatched the final reserve team and was thrown into the battlefield in the south of the city.
The second day into the night,
Li Qingyan ordered the soldiers' bones to be burned to prevent them from becoming barbarian rations.
After half an hour,
The southern wall of the northern seal was completely lost, and the barbarians occupied the top of the city and began to spread around.
Until now, the battle in Beifeng City has completely entered into street fighting.
Using the crossbows issued to them and relying on the formations of various barracks, the large chivalrous regiments and bodyguards struggled to block the advance of the barbarians in the blizzard.
But these resistances are so futile under the absolute military strength gap,
Before midnight, the entire southern city was completely lost, and countless tall barbarian soldiers poured into the city like a tide along the beastly path.
After two hours
The soldiers of the barbarians arrived at the heart of Beifeng City, Beifeng Mansion.
At dawn on the third day, Beifeng government office was broken.
The remaining defenders in the city were forced to abandon all the other blocks and retreat to the final northern city, relying on the formation of the two giant barracks of the Black Scale Guard and Lingshui Palace for defense.
The barbarian army's front was blocked and could not attack for a long time. They tried to directly attack the north city wall from the east and west walls, and surrounded all the defenders in the city.
At this moment, Li Qingyan finally ordered the opening of the defense formation that had not been activated for two days, blocking the barbarian army's attempt to make dumplings.
At this point, the war has temporarily reached a stalemate.
The wind and snow are swaying, and the wind is blowing everywhere.
Standing on the north city wall, Li Qingyan looked down at the entire Beifeng giant city with cold eyes.
In three days, the original row upon row of buildings in the city were now in ruins, and the smoke of gunpowder everywhere made the city feel like the end of the world.
Looking at it for a long time, Li Qingyan's eyes gradually became a little complicated, but these complicated things finally turned into a wisp of hot mist exhaled and dissipated in the air.
The shouting and roaring in the distance made this city gate tower extraordinarily quiet.
Xu Yuan stood aside, quietly watching the loneliness on her face.
For three days, he did not follow her, but stayed inside the north city wall.
But the Black Scale Guard reported to him everything she had done in the past three days.
From the south city wall to the south city, then to the government office, and finally back to the north city wall.
Kill the enemy, give orders, and retreat step by step unwillingly until there is no way to retreat.
"Qing Yan." His voice was so soft that it was almost overwhelmed by the shouts from a distance: "You grew up here in Beifeng, right?"
Li Qingyan did not look back, looking at the chaotic Beifeng, his voice was very low:
"Of course, I was sent here by my father since I was a child, so it can be regarded as half of my hometown."
"Homeland?"
Xu Yuan sighed and persuaded slowly:
"Qingyan, it's pointless to continue to defend the Northern Seal."
Say,
Xu Yuan glanced sideways at the wind and snow outside the North City.
There is a huge sect frontier army entrenched there, but they have no intention of reinforcements at all.
When the dawn of the third day came, the elite sects in Houting County had already arrived outside Beifeng City, but they had no intention of coming for reinforcements, and instead began to set up camp outside Beifeng City.
Li Qingyan frowned slightly, remained silent for a few breaths, smiled slightly and shook his head:
"The bottom line of these sect people is still the same as before."
"Don't have any expectations for Zongmen, they can always tell you what is a surprise."
Xu Yuan agreed with a smile, paused and then asked softly: "By the way, Qing Yan, why do you think they didn't come to support?"
Li Qingyan looked up at the sky covered by thick snow clouds:
"They are waiting, waiting for Uncle Mu and Mr. Zong to meet up in the south. They don't want to face all the main force of the barbarians alone. The loss will be huge. Anyway, we have the "cloud energy bomb" and can't be defeated."
"Chi"
Xu Yuan laughed lowly when he heard the words, and looked in the direction of those camps with cold eyes: "I guessed the same as you, but you seem to have forgotten one thing."
Li Qingyan looked back at his smiling eyes, his beautiful eyes twinkled, and he said with a smile:
"You mean they are waiting for the barbarian king to make a choice?"
"Yeah."
Xu Yuan snapped his fingers and said with a smile: "Didn't you say it before, if the barbarian king chooses to withdraw his troops, there is a high probability that these sects will sit idly by and let them go north by way."
Li Qingyan narrowed his eyes:
"Let the barbarians use the route to go north, and then there will be a defensive belt around Houting County."
The defense line around Houting County is composed of several small and medium-sized border towns, which were destroyed before, but several months of repairs have made them relatively strong.
Xu Yuan naturally understood the other party, and sighed:
"Let the barbarians pass by. These sects not only recovered the captured Beifeng City, but also allowed the barbarians to take over the Houting defense line that they repaired."
Pause,
Xu Yuan gently pressed his hand on the icy battlements:
"In this way, only Hou Ye and Mr. Zong are left in the army trapped in the northern snowfield. Why not do it?"
“.”
The wind and snow messed up the long hair of the woman in red, and her voice did not contain any emotion: "I will sooner or later exterminate this group of people from the sect."
Seeing her anger, Xu Yuan reminded again:
"So, shall we withdraw?"
Li Qingyan pondered for a moment, looked sideways, and asked instead:
"Consort, where did Yuan Hao go?"
Hearing this, Xu Yuan's eyes showed just the right doubt:
"Yuanhao? He's gone?"
Li Qingyan's voice is slow:
"In the past three days, I have never seen him, nor have I received reports about him from other generals. His ability should not be so unknown."
Xu Yuan frowned:
"I don't know about this, I guess I either escaped or died in battle."
Say it,
Xu Yuan took out a lens and crushed it.
He is going to shake someone to pick him up and run away.
Mr. Jiu, who escorted Li Yunqing to Houting County, had already returned to Beifeng City before the barbarians attacked the city.
But after counting interest,
Mr. Jiu didn't come, but Xu Yuan smelled the scent of poisonous roses instead.
Lou Ji is back.
After appearing, Lou Ji nodded at Li Qingyan, then looked at Xu Yuan with a smile, and said in a low voice:
"Are we finally willing to leave after a long time?"
"I'm done, I have to go."
With Lou Ji on the side, Xu Yuan's words were very direct, and he replied naturally: "And if you don't leave, it may be a bit late."
Li Qingyan half-closed her phoenix eyes when she heard the words:
"It's done. What's the matter?"
Xu Yuan looked back and grinned, pointing to the north city wall under his feet:
"Thanks to Your Highness ~IndoMTL.com~ I can freely enter and exit any position of this northern city wall."
Li Qingyan's red pupils shrank slightly, as if he realized something:
"What do you mean?"
Xu Yuan shook his head, just said:
"Qing Yan, you can only get something if you give up everything. I will wait for you in Houting County."
When Lou Ji heard this, she smiled and waved at Li Qingyan:
"Little sister, sister will take Chang Tian away first~"
The words fall,
The wind and snow are still there, and the figures of the two disappeared above the top of the city
