As soon as Heng Yu handed the token to Ren Jiechan, Elder Peng from the Martial Arts Alliance caught up with him and slapped him hard.
"Go quickly!" Hengyu said to Ren Jiechan without any doubt, and then stepped forward to fight the martial arts ally Elder Peng again.
Ren Jiechan took advantage of Hengyu's fight with Elder Peng and had no time to pay attention to her. He couldn't help but look back, cast a wink at Zhou Xingyun, and told him silently...'I'll leave first, see you later.'
Ren Jiechan left the downtown square of Lingdu City first, which meant that the evil sect warriors were preparing to evacuate. Shen Quan, Xuanyang Tianzun and other evil sect masters all agreed with Hengyu's arrangement.
After all, there is no benefit at all if the evil sect members and the martial arts masters fight to the death. The longer time goes by, the more severe their losses will be.
The main reason for such a tragic situation is that there are two unsolvable entities on the battlefield.
The first unexplainable existence is that as mentioned above, no one dared to confront Zhou Xingyun and his group, so Zhou Xingyun led a group of stunning beauties with high martial arts skills to sweep through the entire army.
The second unsolvable existence is the warrior outside the Great Wall, the Two-Strength Crazy Wolf. This warrior is comparable to the six ancient and modern arts. Without the six ancient and modern arts to suppress him, he can walk sideways on the field, Ximen Lengbang stabbed him three times and four times. He was sent flying thousands of miles away by his hammer, let alone other evil masters in the martial arts realm.
All in all, Qingtian Xiong's masters were retreating steadily, and there was no chance of winning. Unless Qingtian Xiong could summon another ancient and modern six masters to help, he would definitely lose tonight. In the end, fighting to the death would mean becoming a prisoner.
"Master Qing! There is no way to continue like this. If all our elites are wiped out here, how will we be able to make a comeback in the future?" A northern guard shouted anxiously.
"We have no retreat!" Qingtian Xiong replied through gritted teeth. Although the defeat was determined, he still refused to give up and wanted to fight to the end with all his strength. In other words, even if the chance was very slim, if they caught Princess Yongming Or if the emperor is used as a hostage, the situation can be reversed in an instant and the defeat can be restored.
"Master Qing, please think twice! Although we can't succeed tonight, we are not completely defeated! We still have 30,000 Northern City guards outside! Now save the elite and withdraw from Lingdu City, and reorganize the army in two days to counterattack Lingdu City without losing anything. It's a good idea!" A personal guard said earnestly: "The emperor is trapped in Lingdu City, with only 3,000 vanguard cavalry and Jianghu warriors to protect him. It can be said that it is difficult to fly. As long as our 30,000 Northern City guards unite with Xuanyang Tianzun and his masters have captured Lingdu City, victory still belongs to us!"
"Yes! Why should we attack each other's strengths with our own shortcomings! Their masters can suppress us, but our 30,000 Northern City guards can easily encircle and annihilate the 3,000 vanguard battalion cavalry in the offensive and defensive battle of the position! This is Keep your elite at the moment so that you can fight back and win later!"
"Don't be carried away by the anger in front of you. Isn't that what Master Qing taught us in the past? Let's see who laughs last, that is the real winner!"
Several staff members around Qingtian Xiong advised Qingtian Xiong to retreat temporarily and not to ruin the elite guards out of anger.
Just as they said just now, due to the rebellion of the governor of Lingdu City tonight, the royal family had an opportunity to seize the south gate of Lingdu City with 3,000 cavalry from the Pioneer Battalion.
However, it is not that simple to guard Lingdu City against the attack of 30,000 Northern City guards with only 3,000 Pioneer Battalion cavalry and a group of martial arts warriors.
To put it in the most intuitive terms, tonight in the downtown square of Lingdu City, their winning rate against the royal family was less than 10%.
The staff bluntly told Qingtian Xiong that despite Xuanyang Tianzun and other evil warriors insisting on fighting against the martial arts masters at this time, they are a group of profit-seeking people after all and will not sacrifice their lives for Qingtian Xiong. After a while,
, the evil warriors may have the intention to quit, and Ren Jiechan's departure is a precursor to the evil sect...
In addition, if Qingtian Xiong endures the humiliation tonight, saves his elite troops, escapes from Lingdu City and joins 30,000 Northern City guards, and then counterattacks Lingdu City, their chances of winning are at least 40%...
Tonight and
In the royal family's decisive battle, there are no variables, and the chance of winning is less than 10%. Save your strength and fight another day, there are endless variables, and the chance of winning can be 40%. In such a clear situation, Qingtian Xiong should know how to make a decision.
After listening to the advice of his staff, Qingtian Xiong immediately clenched his fists and punched himself hard in the face.
The guards who witnessed this move all had blank expressions on their faces and looked at Qing Tian Xiong tremblingly.
"You're right...I was the one who got it. I didn't expect them to invite the Impermanence Flower, one of the six ancient and modern wonders." After Qingtian Xiong punched himself, his mind finally calmed down and he understood what he was going to do.
Only by doing it can you clean up the mess perfectly.
"Everyone obeys the order! Evacuate Lingdu City quickly to the north gate! Set fire to the houses along the way! Hengyu, Chenquan, Xuanyang Tianzun, no matter what method you use, ask your disciples to burn all the granaries in Lingdu City as much as possible!
"
Qingtian Xiong quickly issued an order and ordered his personal guards to set off rockets to burn down the houses along the way.
Han Feng was a benevolent emperor. He would definitely not want to see the people trapped in the sea of fire, so he could only order the warriors of the Wulin Alliance to put out the fire with all their strength. In this way, Qingtian Xiong could lead his men and safely exit Lingdu City from the north gate.
In addition, Qingtian Xiong asked Hengyu and other masters to find a way to burn down the granary of Lingdu City, so that after he joined with the 30,000 Northern City guards in the suburbs, he could turn over to Lingdu City and plunge the city into a state of famine without rice or food.
Although Han Qiumiao planned to capture the south gate of Lingdu City, many important places in Lingdu City, such as the granary, weapons depot, etc., were still under his control. It was too easy to burn the food in the granary of Lingdu City.
As soon as Qingtian Xiong finished speaking, the elite guards under his command, as well as Xuanyang Tianzun and the evil warriors, all understood and acted according to the instructions.
Xuanyang Tianzun's energy rose to his Dantian, and an orange ball of light gathered in the palm of his hand. Everyone saw him suddenly high-fiving the sky, and the orange ball of light, like the sun, flew into the sky and burst into flames.
The orange light ball formed by the internal energy of Xuanyang exploded and turned into a rain of fire, falling on the houses with a crash and igniting thousands of households.
Xuanyang Tianzun's palm was equivalent to sending a signal to the Xuanyang cultists in Lingdu City, telling them to burn the granaries and weapons depots.
"Xuanyang Tianzun, I didn't expect you to have a hand to guard against me." Qingtian Xiong couldn't help laughing, Xuanyang Tianzun slapped his palm towards the sky, and the Xuanyang Sect disciples scattered in Lingdu City immediately set fire to the granary. This is not the case.
It's within their agreed plan.
In other words, in order to prevent Qingtian Xiong from betraying him, Xuanyang Tianzun has reserved a hand to prepare the disciples of Xuanyang Sect to rebel at any time. Once he releases the signal, the disciples of Xuanyang Sect in Lingdu City will
Create trouble for Sky Bear.
However, Xuanyang Tianzun never expected that this trick of guarding against Qingtian Bear would actually come in handy at this time.
"Master Zhou Mu, you must be on guard against others. As long as we cooperate sincerely, such a situation should not happen." Xuanyang Tianzun smiled slightly, and this time it was a mistake.
"Okay! Let's retreat!"
Qingtian Xiong shouted decisively. From the time he gave the order to Lingdu City being filled with smoke, it only took less than a few seconds. Zhou Xingyun and others did not expect that the other party would turn the entire Lingdu City into a smog of smoke and flames in an instant.
The guards under Qingtian Xiong lit fire arrows one after another and shot towards the residential houses everywhere. The Xuanyang Cult people scattered in Lingdu City also followed the instructions of Xuanyang Tianzun and set fire to the granary in Lingdu City.
When the entire city of Lingdu was filled with smoke and was plagued by war smoke, Qingtian Xiong retreated towards the north gate with his men without saying a word.
When Zhou Xingyun saw this, he wanted to pursue him, but Han Qiumiao shouted to him: "Don't chase! Let them go! The wind is very strong tonight, let's put out the fire first! We can't let the fire spread throughout the city!"
"To be honest, it should be raining by now." Zhou Xingyun had a headache. His good luck seemed to be in arrears. A while ago, Xuanyang Tianzun hadn't started the fire and sent a signal, and it was supposed to start raining. This bad luck
Doesn’t one quarter of the year go by too fast? It would be great if it could last a lifetime...
However, just when Zhou Xingyun and others were sitting and watching the Qingtian Bear retreat and preparing to put out the fire, the sky was filled with layers of layers, and the words of Lord Liufan echoed faintly: "Listen up, little kid of the Han family, what happened today will not just end there."
It’s over, it’s time for this world to change its hands. As I, the Sixth World, have said, no one can stop what I want to achieve. Just try your best to play with me. I look forward to your resistance.
Do not disappoint me."
As soon as Lord Liufan finished speaking, the Impermanent Flower fell back to Zhou Xingyun and said lightly: "He's gone."
"Are you injured?" Zhou Xingyun asked slightly worriedly, fearing that Master Liufan might have hurt Miss Wuchanghua.
"I'm fine." Wuchanghua said calmly: "The fire is in the north, and now the north wind is blowing south. To prevent the fire from spreading to the houses in the south, let's demolish the houses between the south block and the north block..."
Wu Changhua paused while speaking, because when she looked at the private houses between the north and south streets, she couldn't help but find that they were in a mess and there was no need to demolish them.
The houses directly south of Lingdu City’s downtown square were razed to the ground by Zhou Xingyun’s shocking punch not long ago.
"Hehe, it seems that I still have a little bit of luck left..." Zhou Xingyun smiled proudly. Now they don't have to worry about the North Street fire spreading to South Street, they can just concentrate on putting out the fire.
"There are five granaries in Lingdu City. Let's rush there now. Maybe we can stabilize the fire and save some food." Zen Master Tianhu said as he hurriedly squeezed to Han Qiumiao's side. He had lived in Lingdu City for a long time and he knew a lot about it.
The layout of the city.
Qingtian Xiong set up five places to store grain and grass in Lingdu City, two places in the south of the city, one in the west, one in the north, and one in the east.
"Okay! Qingtian Xiong wants to cut off our food supply and then besiege Lingdu City. You should take people there immediately..."
Boom!
Before Han Qiumiao finished speaking, a deafening sound rang in his ears, and then he saw thick smoke billowing from the streets in the west, north, and east of the city.
"The place where the flames shot out is the grain storage!" Zen Master Tianhu looked sad. He didn't expect that the other party actually set up explosives in the granary. Now that the fire has detonated the explosives, there may not even be any residue left in the granary.
"There seems to be no movement in the two granaries in the south of the city." Isabel observed carefully. Zen Master Tianhu just said that there are five grain storage points in Lingdu City. Now three fires are spreading and smoke is rising, but the streets in the south of the city are peaceful.
.
"Ah, it should be the Five Elements Taoist who stopped Xuanyang's disciples..." Xu Zhiqian then remembered that the Five Elements Taoist should know that Xuanyang Tianzun had left a hand to guard against the Qingtian Bear. They saw Xuanyang Tianzun's signal and guessed
When Qingtian Xiong was defeated, he wanted to burn down the granary of Lingdu City and create problems for the royal family.
After all, Taoist Jin is a guy with some brains. Based on the situation at hand, he should have guessed Xuanyang Tianzun's intention of instructing his disciples to burn the granaries, so he saved the two granaries in the south of the city.
"It's a blessing in misfortune." Han Qiumiao looked at the burning Lingdu City with a frown, and couldn't help shouting: "Fellow knights of the Martial Arts Alliance, although the enemy has retreated, our battle is not over yet! This is!
I know that you are all very tired, but for the sake of the people of Lingdu City, I hope that everyone can hold on for a while and put out the fire as soon as possible before it grows stronger!"
"Everyone, hurry up and help the people put out the fire. There is no need to waste manpower to protect me!" Han Feng also agreed with Han Qiumiao and asked the guards around him to put out the fire.
"Chief, please ask your medical fairy to come over. This unconscious old man is my father for the time being. I think he can still save him." Xuanyuan Chongwu carried the unconscious Xuanyuan Tianhen and begged Qin Beiyan to help save him.
"Is dad okay?" Xuanyuan Fengxue stepped forward to check anxiously, and Xuanyuan Chongwu replied calmly: "Check your pulse, he won't die. I think it will be fine just to lie in bed for half a month..."
In this way, Qingtian Xiong took the remaining personnel and evacuated from the north gate of Lingdu City. Han Qiumiao, Han Feng, Zhou Xingyun and others were busy cleaning up the mess and had no time to pursue the evil sect members.
Xiao Yun, Tang Jue and others visually observed that Qingtian Xiong and his group withdrew from the north gate of Lingdu City, and stopped chasing the poor bandits, and instead assisted everyone in putting out the fire in Lingdu City.
