Chapter 182 Under the Fire
Chapter 182 Under the Fire
"The beacon! It's finally lit!" Meng Chong looked at the huge beacon and felt a little relieved, but then his heart tightened again: What a gloomy sky! Why is the sun not rising yet! He looked up at the low, thick clouds and the blurry mountains hundreds of feet away, and felt a little uneasy!
"This cloud...this horrible weather...can the Earl's Mansion see this beacon fire?"
Meng Chong was just uneasy! But Liu Feiyun, who rushed up the city wall, was in despair!
When he rushed up the city wall, the beacon fire was just lit, and he glanced toward the north. But this one glance made his heart cold, as if he had fallen into an icy cave.
I saw a black snake as long as I could see moving slowly on the Lengfeng Valley Road in the north of the city. The head of the snake was probably less than two miles away from the city gate.
Near the city gate, there was also a shorter and thinner black snake struggling to get into the city! The part exposed outside was nearly a hundred feet long.
The two black snakes looked particularly dazzling against the white snow on the ground and illuminated by the beacon fires in the city.
This isn't some fairy or demon world, where would giant snakes of a hundred or a thousand feet long come from! The snake king in the Spirit Snake Valley is already big and long enough, but it's only six or seven feet long!
This is not a black snake at all, it's clearly a black crowd of people!
It was hard to see who was in the distance, but the ones nearby were clearly Northern Wasteland Armored Soldiers! Although most of these Northern Wasteland Armored Soldiers were only wearing tattered leather armor, few had fine armor like the Tiger Power Iron Guards. But! There were too many of them! There were probably thousands of them!
Thousands of Northern Wilderness soldiers could not be stopped by the less than 100 iron guards and armored soldiers at the city gate! Moreover, there were countless Northern Wilderness barbarians approaching slowly from a distance!
Lengfengkou is in danger! Anping County is in danger!
Liu Feiyun looked at the endless Northern Wilderness army in the distance, listened to the noisy shouts of the Northern Wilderness soldiers under the city, and was stunned for a moment:
Escape? It's not too late!
But! This damn weather, it's going to snow soon!
Can this beacon fire be seen at home?
If we allow the Northern Wilderness soldiers to enter the city, countless Northern Wilderness barbarians behind them will pass through the pass and rush to the villages and towns behind the pass, rush to their homes, and rush to Anping County!
What a tragic situation that would be!
No! We must not let these Northern Wilderness soldiers rush into the city again! We must lower the city gates as soon as possible!
Liu Feiyun glanced at a certain place in the city and thought to himself: I guess the master cultivator of Xiliu Female Guard should have left here with my little sister!
Then he made up his mind and shouted, "I am Liu Feiyun, the son of the Earl of Le'an. All soldiers listen to my orders. The Iron Guards quickly attack the city gate! Stop the thousands of Northern Wasteland soldiers outside the city from entering the city! All the warriors who are called by name, follow me to seize the capstan at the city gate! Fight to the death! Kill!"
As the city gate had risen to a height of more than one person, Meng Chong also saw the densely packed soldiers outside the city gate. Although he could not see the Northern Wilderness army in the distance, his years of experience fighting against the Northern Wilderness barbarians told him that the barbarians could not have sent only soldiers, there must be an army several times or even ten times as large as the soldiers behind them!
“Thousands of soldiers? Are these barbarians from the Northern Wilderness crazy? In this freezing cold weather! In this snowy weather! In this narrow valley that is nearly a hundred miles long! How could an army of tens of thousands pass through smoothly? They are crazy! These barbarians are crazy!”
Meng Chong did not think any more and shouted with all his might: "Brothers! Today is the day we die! The beacon fire has been lit! The reinforcements will arrive soon! We must block the city gate! Drive out those northern barbarians! So that the brothers who come to help can defend the city! Take back the city gate and fight to the death! Follow me to kill!"
Meng Chong no longer cared about the swords and spears of the Northern Wilderness soldiers, and just swung his sword and rushed towards the city gate. The Iron Guards around him shouted loudly and followed closely behind him. At once, the number of people falling on both sides suddenly increased!
There were already nearly 200 Northern Wilderness soldiers entering the city, but nearly half of them were lying dead! Now, Meng Chong led the soldiers to charge without regard for their lives, and immediately a path was opened. It seemed that Xing Meng Chong was only ten feet away from the city gate!
On the city wall, there were only eight cultivators left guarding the capstan room of the city gate tower! However, it seemed that they were all elite cultivators at least!
"You are the useless son of Butcher Liu! Hehe! Today is really my lucky day! I, Tu Shilinwan, must be lucky! I think your head must be very valuable! Hahaha!" A Northern Wilderness warrior took the lead to greet Liu Feiyun.
"Tu Shilinwan! Don't think you can eat alone!" Another Northern Wilderness warrior rushed towards Liu Feiyun!
"Such a good thing! How can I, Tataduomu, be missing!" The third Northern Wilderness warrior followed closely behind.
In a blink of an eye, five Northern Wilderness warriors attacked Liu Feiyun.
"Protect the young master!" Qin Jiu shouted instinctively and was about to go up to help Liu Feiyun.
"Get out of here! Take your men to seize the winch and close the city gate! I won't die for a while!" Liu Feiyun cursed angrily, but he led the five Northern Wilderness warriors away from the city gate tower.
"Young Master!... Hey! Seize the capstan! Close the city gate! Quickly!" Qin Jiu was anxious and angry, but helpless. He had to turn around and lead the remaining dozen people to rush to the capstan room.
The three martial artists guarding the door of the capstan room didn't care about the dozen boys and girls who rushed over. One of them saw a companion being killed by Liu Feiyun with a sword, but said disdainfully: "This short-lived waste still has some tricks! But facing two human-level masters at the same time! He still has to die! Brother Rob, go play with those brats! I'll stay here alone!"
"Yes! Lord Kru!" Brother Rob took the order and left.
Lord Nakru shouted at the Northern Wilderness armored soldiers at the city gate: "You useless bastards! You can't even handle dozens of Iron Guards! It's really a waste of time to put on armor for you! Think about your parents, wives and children who are starving and freezing behind you! If you still cherish your lives, they will really die!"
The morale of the Northern Wilderness soldiers was boosted upon hearing this, and they once again pushed the Iron Guards back several feet!
Meng Chong was already blood-thirsty, and his fine armor was already in tatters! Blood was constantly oozing out from the holes in his armor!
"Damn it! In this situation, no secret cultivation techniques can be used! No exquisite fighting skills can be used! It seems! I will really die in this cold wind today!"
On the city wall, whether it was Liu Feiyun or Qin Jiu and others, they were all in danger!
Although Liu Feiyun relied on his spiritual armor to protect himself and desperately killed three Northern Wilderness warriors at the cultivator level, the remaining two cultivators also made the spiritual energy in the crystal stone on his spiritual armor almost exhausted. Without the protection of the crystal stone array! Liu Feiyun could no longer resist the attack of the two cultivators and was injured in many places! Fortunately, no vital injuries were caused, but he was still in danger.
On Qin Jiu's side, half of the dozen or so people had already lay down, and those who were still there were all injured.
The situation is critical again!
