Fairy, Please Let Me Explain Chapter 253

  Chapter 253 The Fall of Beifeng

"well"

   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 doomed.

   When it falls, actually does not depend on the determination and morale of the defenders, but depends on how much the barbarians are willing to pay on Beifeng 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 barbarian Yi Wang 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. As long as they failed to break through the morale of the barbarians in one fell swoop and trigger a chain of defeats, then the trip would be considered a failure.

   According to the dossier of post-war statistics, there are about 60,000 battle-ready soldiers left in Beifeng City.

   But the problem is that most of the 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, the formation pattern of Nancheng City has been completely destroyed, and the flying monsters are ten to nine, and the snow in the sky has started to fall again.

   During the silence,

  Xu Yuan suddenly understood Li Qingyan's plan:

   "Are you going out of the city to show weakness to the enemy?"

   "Not all of them."

  Li Qingyan sat on the desk behind him, raised his fair chin, and looked at the high beam of the barracks with his phoenix eyes, with a leisurely tone:

"My son-in-law, you have to be prepared with both hands when 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 a greater price to attack by force." city."

Today's Beifeng City does not have the protection of a large formation. The barbarians only need to continue to bombard the city with those powerful trebuchets in the distance, and they can take down the Beifeng giant that has blocked them from going south for thousands of years without bloodshed. city.

  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 be enough for Wu Chenghou and Zong Qingsheng's class to come back for help.

   At that time, there will be a "cloud energy bomb" to disperse the blizzard, 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 having someone detonate the 'Cloud Qi Bomb' in Houting County really ruined your plan, Qingyan."

  His behavior shocked the snakes, 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 had only one desperate choice left.

  Regardless of the loss, continue to storm the ruined city of Beifeng, occupy Beifeng before the Zongmen elites arrive, and completely block the 700,000 elites of Dayan in the snow field.

  Li Qingyan did not mean to blame:

"My son-in-law, you also did something bad with good intentions. The barbarian king should not dare to go to the battlefield after being seriously injured. If the military strength in the city is properly dispatched, it is not difficult to hold those barbarians for two days, but this time there is a high probability that they will not be able to completely Destroy these barbarians."

   paused,

  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 had been patrolling the camp had disappeared, 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.

   Walking all the way, Xu Yuan was silent all the way.

  Horses step on the snow, leaving a hoofprint on the road.

  Some people wailed for help in the ruins, but no one paid any attention.

  A warrior was arrested and tortured by the Zongmen frontier army because he did not want to go to the city wall to fight against the enemy.

  There was a young man sitting beside the ruins with a numb face.

   There are also frontier soldiers who shuttle among the ruins to rescue the people.

  When the word war falls on an individual's head, it is the weight of Mount Tai.

  The two drove their horses across a street, and when they arrived in Nancheng, Xu Yuan's brows couldn't help but wrinkled.

  The battlefield here is still not cleaned up yet.

   Corpse

  Bodies large or small, complete or mutilated.

The cleared area around the city wall was filled with the corpses of Beifeng defenders. With this amount of white cloth, it was no longer sufficient. 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 would never speak.

   war

   "Consort."

  Li Qingyan's voice suddenly came from beside him.

  He looked back at the words.

  She looked at the bones of these soldiers, but her voice was calm:

   "You remember what you said under Beifeng City."

  Xu Yuan lowered his eyes, nodded slightly, and spit out three words:

   "Never forget."

  Tombstone

  Establish a monument for those who died in battle.

  No matter what happens in the future, at least at this moment, they are all dying 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 frontier army of many sects 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 noble princess of the dynasty.

and,

  In 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 every minute and every second,

  Unable to maintain the large formation, most of the high-level disciples of the sect took the opportunity to flee, and 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.

  The source crystals were dispatched to recharge the formation, and the carts of defensive equipment were pulled out of the storage, and then sent to the city wall, and the armor of the dead soldiers was stripped off and distributed to the temporarily recruited warriors.

  The progress of preparations for the entire Beifeng City was orderly under the governance of Li Zhaoyuan.

   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 completely mobilize the army and civilians in the city.

  During 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.

  First night,

  The barbarian army began to aggressively attack the southern city wall that was not guarded by a large formation. About 70,000 chivalrous regiments and bodyguard warriors 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 hard work, 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 next day fell into night,

  Li Qingyan ordered the soldiers' bones to be burned to prevent them from becoming barbarian rations.

   Half an hour later,

  The northern and southern city walls were 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 street fighting.

  The large-scale knights and bodyguards used the crossbows issued to them, relying on the formations of the barracks in various places, and struggled to block the progress 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 various parts of the city along the beastly path like a sea tide.

   Two hours later,

  The soldiers of the barbarians arrived at the heart of Beifeng City, the Beifeng government office.

  At dawn on the third day, Beifeng government office was broken.

  The remaining defenders in the city were forced to abandon all 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 was blocked and unable to attack for a long time, trying to directly attack the north city wall from the east and west walls, encircling 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.

   So far, 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.

   After staring 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 exhaled hot mist 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 didn't 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 Fuya, and finally retreat 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 didn't 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 slowly persuaded:

   "Qing Yan. It is meaningless to continue to guard this Beifeng."

   said,

  Xu Yuan glanced sideways at the wind and snow outside the North City.

   There, there is a huge sect frontier army entrenched, but they have no intention of reinforcements at all.

  When dawn came on the third day, 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 members 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 when he heard the words, paused and then asked softly: "By the way, Qing Yan, why do you think they didn't come to support?"

  Li Qingyan raised his eyes and glanced 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 gaze, his beautiful eyes twinkled, and said with a smile:

   "You mean they are also waiting for the barbarian king to make a choice?"

"yes."

  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:

   "After letting the barbarians use the route to go north, it will be the 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."

   paused,

  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 was without 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 without answering:

   "My son-in-law, where did Yuan Hao go?"

  Hearing the words, Xu Yuan's eyes showed just right doubts:

   "Yuanhao? He disappeared?"

  Li Qingyan spoke slowly:

   "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 was about to shake someone over 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 breaths,

  Mr. Jiu didn't come, but Xu Yuan smelled the scent of poisonous roses.

   Lou Ji is back.

After   appeared, 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?"

  Xu Yuan looked back and grinned, pointing to the north city wall under his feet:

   "Thanks to you, Your Highness, I can freely enter and exit any position on the northern city wall."

  Li Qingyan's red pupils shrank slightly, as if realizing something:

"What do you mean?"

  Xu Yuan shook his head, just said:

   "Qingyan, you can only gain something if you give up everything. I will wait for you in Houting County."

  Lou Ji smiled and waved at Li Qingyan when she heard the words:

   "Little sister, sister will take Chang Tian away first~"

  The words fall,

  The wind and snow remained, and the figures of the two disappeared above the top of the city
