Chapter 471 Reinforcements
Pingliao city.

The sun was high in the sky, but the October sun could no longer bring any heat. Fang Li stood on the top of the city wall and grabbed a handful of rubble mixed with blood.

He had no expression at this moment. The originally solid city wall was now covered with scars, looking broken and mottled, with rubble everywhere.

The soldiers, wrapped in sackcloth, gathered in groups of three or four.

Although many of the soldiers were injured, there was no trace of fear in their determined eyes.

Three days have passed since the barbarian beast army's surprise attack.

The beast army's attack method was simple. The monsters attacked from both the sky and the ground. Compared with the previous attacking barbarian warriors, the attacks of these monsters were more powerful.

Moreover, among the monsters, there are monsters from the fourth level. Every attack by them can cause considerable damage to the city.

The beast army's attacks are simple, but extremely deadly.

Although Fang Li was in charge of Pingliao City and the army was mobilized in an orderly manner, it was also the first time for him to fight against the barbarian beast army.

Of the 30,000 defenders in the city, nearly a thousand were killed on the first day, and the city walls were riddled with holes from attacks by monsters.

It was not until dusk that the beast army retreated.

After experiencing such a desperate day, the morale of the defenders in the city collapsed.

The biggest problem is that the people in the city are in a panic.

On the second day, the barbarian beast army continued to launch attacks. This time, Fang Li also had experience fighting against the beast army, so he gathered the warriors in the city together to specifically resist the monsters that attacked the city gate.

Although the effect is obvious, Fang Li knows that this method can only delay time.

After nightfall, Fang Li sent out an elite force of 10,000 to launch a surprise attack on Tuoba Ren's camp. Even with the support of the Beast Army, the other side did not expect that the Dragon Whale Army in Pingliao City would actually rush out at this time.

The Beast Army had a clear advantage in attacking cities and seizing territories, but faced with such a large-scale counterattack, it also suffered considerable losses.

After this battle, although Bo Zuo and Shui Houzi only brought back more than 7,000 troops, only one tenth of Tuoba Ren's 100,000 troops survived.

"I have sent someone to tell Sikong Jihuai. Now it all depends on whose reinforcements arrive first."

Fang Li said in a low voice.

The water monkey beside him hadn't laughed for three days. The broadsword on his back was full of gaps. He uttered a low "hmm", then felt something was wrong and frowned:
"Although Tuoba Ren's army was almost completely destroyed, the Beast Army is still intact. If the Beast Army continues to attack, the troops in the city may not be enough to hold out until reinforcements arrive."

Fang Li nodded and explained, "Before the barbarian reinforcements arrive, even if the Beast Army takes Pingliao City, they will still not be able to defend the city once my reinforcements arrive. So they will only wait until the reinforcements arrive and then take Pingliao City in one fell swoop."

"But if our reinforcements come later, the people of Pingliao City will become abandoned." The water monkey moved his lips, "General Fang, if it really comes to that, my soldiers and I will defend Pingliao City to the death, and you retreat first!"

There was a hint of gloom in Fang Li's eyes, and he said softly:
"If that happens, my brother will have to protect the entire Dragon Whale Army by himself, while I can only run away with my tail between my legs."

The water monkey frowned and thought to himself that if it really comes to that, you will have to leave even if you don’t want to. If it really doesn’t work, the Anbu will take you away by force.

Then, Fang Li smiled and said, "Don't worry, I believe our reinforcements will definitely arrive first."

As he was speaking, a large flock of birds suddenly appeared in the distant sky.

In the darkness of the night, the flock of birds emitted dazzling light and quickly approached Liaocheng, followed by sharp cries.

The ground began to shake at this moment.

The water monkey's face changed drastically. The soldiers who were sitting on the top of the city to rest also noticed the movement in the sky and stood up to meet the enemy.

Although they were all injured, they were not depressed at all and stared at the approaching beast army with firm eyes.

"kill!"

"We must not let these beasts get beyond Pingliao City!" The water monkey picked up a hard bow from the ground, bent the bow and drew the arrow in one go, and shot the arrow. Along with an arc of white light, a monster fell from the sky.

He shouted, "Protect General Fang and get him out of here first!"

"All warriors, aim at these beasts. If you kill one, I will reward you with 100 talisman jades!"

As he spoke, dense array of arrows flew out from the top of the city wall, and the bright light almost illuminated half the sky.

Countless monsters fell from the sky, but the dark flocks of birds were still approaching.

"Roar!"

At this moment, a clear roar was heard in the sky.

Under the night sky, a dragon soared in the sky and rushed towards Pingliao City.

The dragon flashed by with great momentum, and terrible pressure swept over in an instant.

On the top of the city wall, Shui Houzi and other warriors instantly fell into despair.

The monster at the fifth level!
This will be devastating for Pingliao City!

But then, the dragon did not attack Pingliao City. Instead, it circled over Pingliao City and then rushed directly into the attacking flock of birds.

A overwhelming murderous intent burst out, and countless monsters were swallowed by the dragon.

At the same time, outside Pingliao City, the aura of the Fifth Heavenly Gate spread out, and then a lion covered in flames appeared on a hill three miles outside Pingliao City.

The lion raised its head and let out a long roar, then rushed straight into the attacking beast army. In the flying dust, the lion monster was like a wolf among a flock of sheep.

In just a few breaths, the barbarian beast army was defeated.

On the top of the city wall, Shui Houzi and the others looked outside the city in confusion and said:

"Are these two terrifying monsters not from the barbarian tribe?"

For a moment, the Dragon Whale Army, which had been feeling threatened, now stood on the top of the city wall, watching the two monsters move in as if they were in an empty space, killing the barbarian beast army and rendering it completely defeated.

At this moment, Shui Houzi and others noticed a chill behind them.

"You must be Fang Li!"

A faint voice suddenly sounded beside Fang Li, and then the shadow under Fang Li's feet began to roll on its own, slowly emerging from the ground and transforming into a human figure, standing in front of Fang Li.

The two fourth-level warriors from the Anbu suddenly felt like they were facing a formidable enemy.

They didn't even notice that this figure appeared silently in front of everyone.

Everyone was afraid to breathe at this moment, wondering if the black shadow wanted to attack Fang Li, how they would save Fang Li from a monster from the fifth level of the heaven.

Fang Li hesitated for a moment and said calmly, "Yes, Your Excellency?"

The black shadow nodded and said:

"My name is Phantom, and the two outside are Akagi Jiao and Yunxin Shi. Following Fang Xuan's orders, we are here to help General Fang!"

"Your reinforcements are still behind us. The three of us thought they were too slow, so we came here first."

"Looks like it's just in time!"
