Long

Chapter 248 16．The confrontation between the two armies is still unknown
Amidst the sound of the horn, there was a sound of running footsteps up and down the city lord's mansion.No matter whether it is literary or military, people all run towards the tower.

Looking from a distance, the beacon fires on the battlements were also lit for warning, and the billowing smoke shot straight into the sky, which could be seen even from a long distance away.This was the order Hua Yingyue left before she left. Once the capital was attacked, she would immediately use this magic-enhanced beacon to warn her.

On the square in the south of the city, there is a troop formation deployed by Taoist Qiu. Once there is danger, in addition to the soldiers who stayed in the city, about 1000 people can be sent back.

Today, the city walls of Shangjing City are extremely solid, and equipped with many magic weapons and formations to protect the city. Even if there are only a few hundred old and weak, as long as they do not encounter strong enemies, it is basically not a problem to defend everyone.

Even if there is a large army attacking, plus one or two thousand people, and all the defense facilities on the city wall are mobilized, they can persist for a while.

With this time, it was enough for Hua Yingyue and Huangfu Jing's army to rush back to rescue them.

The people running in the courtyard looked a little nervous, but they were not flustered.Because they knew that as long as they persisted until Miss Yingyue came back, everything would be fine.Hua Yingyue's South and North Wars in the past few months really left an indelible impression on these people.

Even if Hua Yingyue didn't come back in time, they didn't need to worry too much.The defense on the city wall is enough to resist the attack of an army of tens of thousands of people.Once those magical weapons are activated, there is no place to stand within thirty miles outside the city.Who can capture Shangjing under such circumstances?If there is such a large army, how about going directly to the Yellow Emperor City or Fengxiang?Running here is nothing compared to a new city.

Looking at the calm expressions on people's faces, besides admiring Hua Yingyue, Duan Lin thanked that Mr. Jin from the bottom of his heart.If he hadn't brought so many instruments and arrays, Daoist Qiu, no matter how powerful his mana was, would not have been able to arrange Shangjing City as solidly as possible.

The money spent on the construction of this section of the city wall is simply incalculable. Duan Lin still hasn't figured out how Mr. Jin, who claims to be a businessman, spends so much money on the capital for no apparent reason.

If he wanted to use the money to buy an official position in the capital, then he spent too much money.With this money, it might be enough to go directly to Emperor Huangcheng.What's more, the city lord hasn't come back yet, isn't he afraid that Shen Yunfei will turn his back on him when he returns?Since he has the ability to build the upper capital, he can use it to build a city by himself, so it would be nice to be the owner of the city.

Duan Lin couldn't figure it out, and neither could the others.However, the money that should be spent is still spent like running water.There are many things that Duan Lin didn't even think about before, but that Mr. Jin took them out without even frowning.

Seeing that Mr. Jin and Daoist Qiu had already stood on the top of the city, Duan Lin casually pulled a soldier over and asked in a low voice, "What's going on?"

"Not sure." The soldier said.

He knew Duan Lin, and he also knew that his status was second only to Hua Yingyue and the two female generals, and he was the highest civil official in Shangjing.He didn't dare not answer Duan Lin's question, even though his mind had already rushed to the top of the city, he still stopped and replied respectfully: "I heard that there is an army of monsters appearing from the southwest. There are a lot of people."

Duan Lin also knew that he couldn't get anything out of asking such a small soldier. He waved his hand and let the small soldier go. He and Steward Wu walked up the stone steps at the base of the city wall to the south tower.

Daoist Qiu and Mr. Jin were standing on the tower at this moment, looking at their expressions, they seemed a little unnatural.

Duan Lin's heart skipped a beat immediately, and he secretly yelled that he was not good.

No one knows the defense of the capital better than Daoist Qiu and Mr. Jin. If they even frown, then the enemies who came this time are obviously not trivial.

Duan Lin glanced in the direction where the two were watching, and saw a dark cloud in the sky, which lowered the sky, but the shadow of the enemy could not be seen at all.

Although no trace of the enemy was found, Duan Lin did not suspect at all that the early warning this time was a false alarm.A telescope had been placed on the sentry tower long ago. Now that the alarm has been issued, it is true that there is an enemy attack. What's more, Qiu Daochang, who did not change his face even before Mount Tai collapsed, now has such an expression. Who dares to say that there is no enemy attack?
"Daoist Qiu, Mr. Jin, what happened?" Duan Lin quickly walked up to the two and asked in a low voice.Now that Hua Yingyue, Wen Ruxia and Huangfujing are not in Shangjing City, the only ones who can command people to defend against foreign enemies are Daoist Qiu and Mr. Jin.

"The army of the demon clan." Qiu Daochang said with a frown, the pupils of his eyes were shrouded in a white mist.This is Penglai's celestial spirit peeping technique, which allows him to see the situation hundreds of miles away.

"Not only the demon race, but also a large number of ghost races." The fat Mr. Jin also turned his head.He didn't have Taoist Qiu's magic spell, but he was holding a small binoculars, the effect was similar to that of spirit peeping, but even ordinary people without magic power could use it.

Mr. Jin handed the binoculars to Duan Lin, and Duan Lin looked up, and immediately trembled with fright.

In the distance, I could see a piece of wilderness, covered in black mist, with a demonic aura soaring to the sky.

On the ground, patches of strange brilliance flickered continuously, obviously using some kind of strange formation.Teams of ghost or monster soldiers emerged from those formations, and then quickly returned to their respective teams.

Looking at the assembled army, there are at least 8000 to [-] people, and there are still soldiers appearing continuously in those brilliant formations.Look at this battle, there are at least tens of thousands of coalition forces of the two clans of demons and ghosts who have entered Shangjing County.What are they going to do? !Could it be said that Niao Wu has officially declared war and set his target on Shangjing County, is he going to take Shangjing City for surgery?Why didn't I receive any news before?Are all the scouts sent out by the Yellow Emperor City eating dry food? !

When he was frightened, another team appeared in the binoculars, rushing towards the monster army from the northeast.Look at the army's equipment, uniform silver armor, that's the team that Hua Yingyue brought out!
Duan Lin rubbed his eyes vigorously, looked carefully again, and confirmed that it was indeed the team that went out from Shangjing.The silver armors on them were all provided by Mr. Jin. When they were distributed, Duan Lin personally participated in the registration, so it was absolutely impossible to admit his mistake.

"Miss Yingyue is back!" Duan Lin exclaimed excitedly, but immediately became nervous again.

Although Hua Yingyue was able to fight, she only brought a few thousand people with her after all.If you are in the city, with the help of the magic circle on the city wall, there is absolutely no need to worry.But now in the wild, she is facing an army united by the demon clan and the ghost clan. With a small number of people, she will definitely not be able to take advantage of it.

For a moment, Duan Lin couldn't help worrying about Hua Yingyue.No matter it was Hua Yingyue, Wen Ruxia or Huangfu Jing, he couldn't explain to Shen Yunfei what happened to any of these three women.

While in a hurry, another army appeared behind Hua Yingyue's team.In terms of numbers, it was comparable to the troops brought out by Hua Yingyue.

On a bright dragon flag in the middle of the team, the logo of Xuanyuan Che was very conspicuous.

"It's the Xuanyuan army?!" Duan Lin screamed again.Could it be that the Yellow Emperor City has received the news and has come to support it?

But after thinking about it, he knew that he had misunderstood.No matter how fast Huangdi City reacted, it was impossible for them to arrive as soon as the other party was dispatched from such a distance.

At this time, although the team was fighting under the banner of the Yellow Emperor City, it was probably the army brought out by the prince.

Yes.Didn't Hua Yingyue go out this time to support the prince?Now the two teams have joined together, so they rushed back together.

*******************************************
At this time, Hua Yingyue and Ji Xiaobai stood side by side, Huangfu brother and sister, Wen Ruxia, Shi Ling'er, and Yun Yi, who had transformed into a human form, stood behind them respectively.

Looking at the dark coalition of demons and ghosts in front of him, Ji Xiaobai frowned, and said in a deep voice, "When did the demons join forces with the ghosts? Why hasn't there been any news from the ghost king? How can there be so many ghosts in broad daylight?" Appearance, this must have something to do with Fengdu. Could it be that Fengdu has fallen and all the ghost clan has returned to Niaowu?"

Hua Yingyue's brows were also frowned, and she never thought that someone would want to sneak in after she just went out for such a trip.Looking at this posture, I am afraid that it is inevitable to win against Shangjing.Who the hell is it that can pull up such a team without anyone noticing.

She thought about it, the few generals she met when she was under the seat of Wu Wu, but they all denied them one by one.According to the news she got, those guys are now staying in the Fengxiang and Gusu areas, and it is impossible to attack Shangjing in a short time.It is precisely because of this information that she dared to develop Shangjing as much as possible without guarding against Niao Wu's invasion.

But looking at the current situation, besides Wu Wu, she really couldn't think of anyone else who could order so many ghosts at the same time in such a short period of time, and bring them to Shangjing County.

"Yunyi, go and have a look first, and come back immediately if the situation is wrong." Huangfuhua ordered.

Although everyone has spells, but in terms of speed, they still can't catch up with Yun Yi.At this time, the enemy's situation is unknown, if we attack rashly, I'm afraid it will be disadvantageous.Send Yunyi to scout, even if the enemy finds out, they will have enough time to retreat.

"Yes!" Yun Yi replied, transformed into Cang Luan, a whirlwind rose from both wings, and the whole body flew straight into the sky, flying towards the billowing demonic aura.
