pet cultivator

Chapter 158
Hearing Li Jin's explanation, Li Xiao finally understood.In this operation, there were [-] extra reinforcements from Tier [-] Imperial Pet Masters. Naturally, it couldn't be compared with when Li Jin and others spied on the military.

But in fact, Li Xiao and the others really hit the big luck today.Originally, the strength of the city defense army on the west city gate was considered tyrannical, but Li Jin and his group came to seize the city gate, and it was inevitable that the battle would enter a stalemate for a period of time.

But today, for the sake of appetite, Zhang Jun directly reimbursed more than half of the combat effectiveness of their small team.At this time, a temporary dispatch order came, and the guards at the west city gate also sent a small team to the central square to evacuate the crowd.In this way, the guarding force on the west gate was weakened a lot, coupled with Li Xiao's intentional calculation and unintentional sneak attack, the situation on the west gate turned into this one-sided situation.

Soon, the battle above the city gate was all over.The pet master prisoners were all sealed in the soul pet space, tied together with the rest of the city defense forces, and piled up in a room in the city gate tower.Since then, Li Jin and others quickly and completely controlled the West Gate.

However, they took down the West City Gate easily, but it was of no use.Because their original task was to feint attack the west gate, attract firepower, and provide cover for the dragon cavalry army to rush into the city from the south gate of the imperial capital.In other words, even if they opened the west city gate wide, the dragoon army would not enter the city from here, because it was already at this time, it was impossible to notify the main force of the dragoon army to change the gate to enter the city.

"Forget it, now we have become the guards of the city gate." Li Jin, somewhat dumbfounded, had no choice but to ring the alarm bell on the tower of the west city gate.

The sound of the alarm bell was heard far away.Li Jin looked at the Li family members around him, and reminded again: "The hard battle is only beginning now. Remember, everyone, we don't seek to kill the enemy, but to entangle as many people as possible and attract more firepower."

At this time, Chen Dan, who had already brought people to the north of the city, heard the bell ringing, and suddenly turned his head to look in the direction of the west city gate, his face paled in shock: "Come on, what happened?"

"Report!" A soldier trotted over and said out of breath, "My lord, a group of people suddenly appeared at the west city gate and attacked the city gate while the city defense was empty."

"What? How is it possible?" Chen Dan was shocked, "What is the origin of the other party, and how many people are there?"

"There are more than 30 people, but they are all pet masters..." The soldier quickly replied, "When the younger one came to report, he saw that the soul pets of several generals had already rushed over."

At this time, another soldier ran over, cupped his fists and said, "My lord, brothers have checked the surrounding area, everything is normal, and nothing unusual was found."

"What a slap in the face!" Chen Dan suddenly realized, gritted his teeth and said angrily, "Go, quickly reinforce the west gate. This group of people must have attacked the gate to welcome more people into the city... Li family's dragon cavalry! Damn, send an order, The whole city is on alert!"

At the end of the roar, Chen Dan's voice was almost torn apart.

Several teams of city defense troops were forming a circle, watching Xu Yiming and the two soul pets who were fighting in the circle.They are responsible for evacuating nearby people and dealing with the mess after the war.At this time, the ringing of the bell from the west gate made everyone startled.

"What... is this sound?" A soldier of the city defense army obviously hadn't heard the alarm bell ringing for many years, and his head was still a little dazed at this moment.Immediately afterwards, he saw a column of troops running past them and heading straight for the west city gate.

Suddenly, someone gave him a blow on the head, and when he looked around, it was his officer.I just heard the chief shout cursingly: "The city gate was attacked, and the bell rang to warn you, but you are still standing here stupidly. There are all the little bastards, and only one team is left here to watch, and the rest support the west gate!"

Therefore, they also joined the army rushing to help the West City Gate.

"So that's how it is... Naturally, the Li family will not rebel against the Xu family for no reason. It seems that they have discovered us a long time ago, and they didn't have any good intentions when we came here early in the morning." At this time, in the palace, the envoy had also received the news. , Looking at the west of the imperial capital, he sighed leisurely.

Concubine Xuan was very anxious, but she didn't want to show too much in front of the envoy, so she could only ask: "Employee, how should we deal with it now?"

"The imperial capital hasn't been attacked for many years. It's normal for the No.11 Legion to be in a mess for a while... Let Wannian come back and take care of it. Why is he running around outside?" The envoy snorted softly. , continued, "Before that, let all the guards at the city gates return to their posts. Half of the city defense troops patrolling in the city rushed to help the west gate, and half retreated outside the imperial city to guard."

"Follow the order of the holy emissary." Concubine Xuan quickly accepted the order, but then asked, "Holy envoy, won't our people take action? With the city defense army in chaos now, it may not be possible to take back the city gate, right? A dragon cavalry army entered the city..."

"The panic is only temporary. And how many people are there in total at the city gate? It's not that the city defense army doesn't have high-level pet masters, it's enough to deal with those little bastards." The envoy chuckled and said indifferently, "Don't worry, With this little trick, the dragoon army can't enter the city, even if some of them get in by luck, we just close the door and beat the dogs. Besides, for us, the most important thing is to guard the palace and the branch, as long as we do this, We won't lose."

Only then did Concubine Xuan regain her composure.The news of the attack on the West City Gate has been around for so long, and there is no news that the Dragoon Army has entered the city. Maybe the West City Gate has already been closed by the City Defense Army at this time.

"However, my subordinates still don't understand why the Li family's dragon cavalry came to the imperial capital all of a sudden, but our spies didn't find anything?" Concubine Xuan finally couldn't hold back her question.

"This is the key to the ability of the Dragon Cavalry Army to roam the world without a trace." The envoy obviously had some research on the Li family. There are only [-] enemy troops outside the imperial city. It is not impossible for such a small number of elites to break up and avoid the sight of the scouts to reach the outer city of the imperial city. At the time of the Tianji Plain Dragon Cavalry camp, there are still a group of troops pretending to be Dragon Cavalry."

"The golden cicada has escaped its shell and deceived people!" Concubine Xuan nodded in surprise, "But the intelligence said that they had more than 30 people sneaking into the city gate. Obviously, the Li family in the imperial capital must be more than what they seem on the surface. But what about these pet masters? What about entering the imperial capital without being discovered? Moreover, so many people rushed to the imperial capital from the Tianji Plain. If they only rely on storage bags, they must not be able to sustain food, grass and drinking water. And if they seek supplies near the imperial capital, it is impossible will not be discovered by us."

"We can have hidden spirit water, maybe they have some special means. As for food and grass...you forgot Dan Jincheng's Zhou family?"

"What the envoy means is that the Danjincheng plan failed because the Zhou family also noticed the Western branch?" Concubine Xuan was shocked.

"Whether Mo Tian let the Zhou family find out, or the Li family informed the Zhou family of our existence, that's not the point." The envoy shook his head and looked at the bustling west gate, "Unfortunately, we The plans in the Hanyun Empire can only be discussed in the long term...Since the guests are coming, we must do more to keep them tonight, and don't let others laugh at us for not being enthusiastic enough."

Concubine Xuan took the order and left.

Indeed, since Xu Yiming has lost its use value, and the Li family discovered the existence of the Mieshi Palace at this time, their plan in the Hanyun Empire has completely collapsed, and they can no longer control it by controlling the royal family. The entire Hanyun Empire.But things have come to this point, if they want to control the Hanyun Empire as they wish, the Li family in Tianji City is the biggest obstacle.

Therefore, since the dragon cavalry army attacked, Mieshigong didn't bother to choose another auspicious day, so it was not a bad idea to take this opportunity to make a break with the Li family in Tianji City.

Seeing Concubine Xuan leave, the envoy chuckled a few times before disappearing in the same place without a trace.

At this time, the west gate of the imperial capital was already full of excitement.

35 people, including 34 third-tier pet masters, plus Li Jin, the fourth-rank pet master, this is the entire strength of Li Jin and his party.

At this time, they had cleared the city defense army above the city gate and completed the defensive formation.The long-range attack soul pets were all standing on the city gate tower, already aiming at the reinforcements coming from a distance.The melee physics department soul pets and pet masters who have completed the possession of soul pets are guarding the city gates.As for the main battle soul pet master pet master who doesn't have much combat power, he left the gate of the city at this time, evacuated the surrounding people, and secretly acted as a scout by the way.

"Master Li Jin, the reinforcements are here." Li Xiao walked up to Li Jin and wiped off his sweat, "According to what my brother found out, the city defense army is coming in a menacing manner, but there are only twenty or so pet masters among them. It’s a trivial matter. But there are still two blood wolfhounds of the sixth rank, and they will arrive soon.”

"Order five brothers, and join me to deal with those two blood wolfhounds." Li Jin smiled slightly, "We just try to delay as much as possible, we don't want to kill them much, and we don't want to guard the west gate. As long as their The large forces have rushed to our side, then we will retreat while fighting."

When Li Jin said this, he glanced at Li Qinqin beside him, then looked at Qiuqiu who was gnawing on a pie to replenish his energy, and added: "Qiuqiu, now you take sister Xiaoqin directly out of the city to find Longqi Army, hand her over to uncle."

Sending Li Qinqin out of the emperor in advance was a decision made long ago after Li Jin and Li Yu discussed it.The main purpose of Li Qinqin's entry into the imperial capital was to create an illusion that the Li family didn't know the current situation of the imperial capital at all, so as to confuse Mieshigong.In fact, because of this, everyone in Mieshi Palace relaxed their vigilance towards the participating members of the Li family.

But now that they had come to nothing, and their next move to lure the enemy was somewhat dangerous, then Li Qinqin would naturally have to be sent back to a safe place as soon as possible.

Qiuqiu naturally listened to Li Jin's words very much, but Li Qinqin had an expression of not playing enough and yelled out.Li Jin's persuasion was useless for a while, so he had to use his trump card to put on a straight face and pretend to be angry, which made little Lolita submit.
