Chapter 152 The Enemy Retreats

"Hehe, the scouts I sent to the north and south gates should be back soon. Those two old generals are both veterans. Let's see the facts first."

Yan Qingxi had a plan in mind, but since he was the commander of the army in this battle, he felt that he should be tolerant, and when he said these words, all the soldiers beside him admired him in their hearts.

Of course, this is also based on the premise that Yan Qingxi believes that the west gate will be breached first, if the south gate or the north gate are breached first, then he may not be so magnanimous.

Yang Xun secretly cursed in his heart, but he didn't dare to show it. He is already on the boat of Yan Qingxi, and he might not be able to get off the boat in his whole life.

"Report!"

Just when Yang Xun was thinking wildly, a loud voice came from the south side, attracting everyone's attention, even the two masters of five realms.

"coming!"

Yan Qingxi took some time to sit in the handsome chair. He believed that the news brought by the scouts would not disappoint him. Didn't he see that there were more and more soldiers climbing up the city wall of the West Gate?

"General...Master General, big... big things are not good!"

However, what Yan Qingxi and everyone else didn't expect was that the scouts came before they got there, and when they ran up the steps, they fell a big somersault, with eagerness on their faces.

"What nonsense are you talking about? My army is invincible, so why is something bad?"

Yan Qingxi's face darkened in an instant, and the confident smile just now disappeared, and she directly scolded.

If he didn't want to know about the situation at the South Gate, maybe he would raise his handsome sword and kill this nonsense guy on the spot.

"General...General, General Long Xiang was killed!"

The patrolman's teeth chattered uncontrollably, it sounded a little funny, but at this time, the people naturally didn't care about these trivial matters, they cared more about the last sentence of this person.

"What did you say?"

This time Yan Qingxi couldn't sit still anymore, he seemed to feel that he had some auditory hallucinations, but how could a martial artist with perfect four realms have auditory hallucinations, then he heard it right?
The people next to him were also stunned, even if they were the two great masters of the five realms, they were shocked when they heard the news suddenly.

After all, both Jin Wanzhou and Luo Bailu knew in their hearts that the Longxiang General Xia Qing was a genuine five-level martial artist. Although he was only a beginner, his combat power was also extremely astonishing.

Not to mention Jin Wanzhou, Luo Bailu, a cultivator of the five realms, asked himself that if Xia Qing got close to him, the probability of his defeat was more than [-]%.

However, just such a famous figure in the whole Xuanyang country was killed by someone.

And they all knew that, as General Long Xiang, Xia Qing naturally didn't have to attack the city himself.

That is to say, someone among thousands of troops, and even under the protection of a group of personal guards, killed General Xia Qing, Long Xiang. Who on earth has such great ability?
"Did Lu Mingyang make the move?"

Yan Qingxi took a deep breath, stood up suddenly and asked.

Perhaps in his mind, in Watanabe City, except for Lu Mingyang, who was once a martial artist who had attained perfection in five realms, no one would be able to achieve this step.

"No...not Zhendong King, but a killer named Judge!"

At this time, the patrolman was in shock for a while, thinking about the two lines of blood writing he saw in front of General Long Xiang's tent, he told the truth, and after he said these words, he suddenly felt a little quiet around him.

"Judge!"

It doesn't matter who the judge is, maybe one of them counts as one in the field, and they are not too unfamiliar at all. Even if none of them have seen it, they must have heard of his name.

At that time, Watanabe Castle was calculated by the Hai Clan, and the entire army was almost wiped out. The city lord, Yang Xun, even fled with his son, abandoning the city. No one believed that Watanabe Castle would ever come back to life.

However, in the end Watanabe Castle survived that catastrophe, and there are two biggest contributors to the reversal of the situation, one of which is the famous killer judge who was originally in Watanabe Castle.

As for Yan Qingxi and the others, they naturally knew the reason for the resolution of the crisis in Watanabe City. They have always been curious about the killer Judge and Yinhu of the Hidden Killing Society.

"Damn it, the hidden killer will intervene?"

Yan Qingxi's face was so gloomy that he was about to drip water. What he was most worried about happened. Didn't the empress say that the three major forces would never intervene in Xuanyang's civil war?
Jin Wanzhou and Luo Bailu's faces were also a little ugly. The meaning of this incident was not just as simple as the killing of General Long Xiang Xia Qing.

Hidden Kill will choose to help Watanabe City, which is the biggest problem.

"Report!"

Just when everyone in front of the tent was in an extremely bad mood, a loud voice came from the north again, which brought them back to their senses, and a strange feeling rose in their hearts at the same time.

Especially Yan Qingxi, he suddenly had an ominous premonition.

The news from the south gate just now really shocked him a little, and he always felt that this battle was a little out of control.

Although Yan Qingxi wanted to compete with those two veterans, he never thought of forcing Xia Qing and Nie Yuanbai to death. Those two were the confidantes cultivated by the head of the Yan family.

"General, Lie Yan General Nie Yuanbai was assassinated by a killer, the murderer is Yinhu!"

The patrolling soldier who came flying from the north was calmer than the one from the south gate. He was shocked but did not lose his composure. He explained clearly what happened in front of the general's tent at the north gate in one sentence.

"really!"

The people who had guessed in their minds just now were shocked again when they heard the man's words. They were also not too unfamiliar with the name Silver Fox.

"Judge! Silver Fox!"

Yan Qingxi's teeth were about to gnaw into pieces, but at the next moment, he suddenly felt a chill on the back of his neck, couldn't help shrinking his neck, and even turned his head to look around.

Judge and Silver Fox naturally did not appear at this moment, but Yan Qingxi had such a feeling.

The killers of the two hidden killing societies are by his side, and he doesn't know when he will deal a fatal blow to him.

Those two are ruthless people who can kill martial artists of the five realms. Although Yan Qingxi is the commander of the three armies, he only has the perfect cultivation of the four realms.

He was really afraid that if he was not careful, he would follow in the footsteps of those two generals.

"Don't worry, general, if they dare to come, they will come and never return!"

Jin Wanzhou next to him was contemptuous, but he had to stabilize the morale of the army at this time. If the commander-in-chief Yan Qingxi was scared out of his wits, then there would be no need to fight this battle again.

"Yes, yes, I have two guardians. Are you afraid of him, Judge and Silver Fox?"

Sensing the aura of the two masters of five realms beside him, Yan Qingxi finally regained the majesty of the commander-in-chief of the three armies, but involuntarily moved closer to Jin Wanzhou, as if it was safer this way.

"Pass down the order, be sure to capture the west gate of Watanabe Castle within half a stick of incense!"

Qing Qingxi held his handsome sword high, and the command he spoke was majestic. It seemed that he didn't want to wait any longer. Since the two generals in the north and the south were killed, this battle will depend on the Chinese army.

"Order!"

The messenger led the order and left, and after a while, the attack outside the west gate became more brutal. More and more soldiers climbed up the city wall. It seemed that Watanabe Castle could not be defended for long.

…………

Watanabe Castle, Simon!

King Lu Mingyang of Zhendong was sitting in the town, and Asha stood beside him motionless, as if turning a blind eye to the tragic scene of the west gate city wall.

In fact, Lu Mingyang wasn't in a very good mood. Of course he knew that he and Asha were powerful, but in this kind of battle between the two armies, the combat power of one person might not be able to change the situation at all.

What's more, Lu Mingyang also knows that among the enemy troops outside the city, there must be many strong men who have reached the fifth realm.

Aside from Yan Qingxi, the commander in chief of the Chinese army, the generals of the northern and southern armies are all strong men who have reached the five realms.

Lu Mingyang was born as a general, so he naturally knew the names of Xia Qing and Nie Yuanbai. Although those two were direct descendants of the Yan family, they also had outstanding military achievements in the past, and he admired them very much.

It's a pity that Lu Mingyang didn't have the skills to separate himself, so he could only sit in the west gate to see if he could seize a chance, and the news that came from the north and south gates made him feel more and more irritable.

The west gate city wall was about to be breached, and the north and south gates must be the same. When all three gates were broken, Watanabe City would only fall into more tragic street fighting.

Without the defense of the city wall, if the [-] troops from outside drove straight in, blood would inevitably flow into the Watanabe City, and the Zhendong Prince's Mansion trapped in it might not be able to protect itself.

"Grandmaster Asha, did Lu Xun contact you?"

Lu Mingyang, who was restless, could not help asking a question when he saw Asha with a calm expression out of the corner of his eye.

All his hopes were pinned on the second son who had done many strange things after his return.

"Don't worry, there should be news of the young master soon!"

Naturally, Asha didn't know about Lu Xun's plan, but he knew how much his young master valued the family of the Zhendong Prince's Mansion, and he would never sit back and watch Watanabe Castle be destroyed, maybe he had a plan long ago.

"Report!"

Just when Lu Mingyang wanted to ask more carefully, a loud voice suddenly came from the south, which instantly attracted his attention. After seeing it, his face couldn't help but sink.

Because Lu Mingyang recognized that it was the messenger soldier he sent to the south gate to investigate the situation of the battle, and seeing that figure running so fast that he was almost flying, he had some guesses that the south gate might have fallen.

Although this was expected a long time ago, when the fact came, Lu Mingyang still couldn't accept it.

Once the south gate is broken, the west gate and north gate may not be too far away from being broken.

"My lord, the enemy army outside the south gate... has retreated!"

However, just when Lu Mingyang stood up and wanted to make some desperate decisions, he heard such a voice from the galloping messenger soldier, which made him freeze suddenly.
