Yanjing City is not very far from Guyan, only two days' journey, so Xiao Tielong reached the foot of Yanjing City without much effort. As the capital of Yunyan Kingdom, Yanjing is naturally very impressive, and the city walls alone are very strong. In order to resist Xiao Tielong's attack, Xiao Yong had already raised the suspension bridge high, and the city tower was already filled with soldiers guarding the city.
Xiao Tielong stepped forward on his horse and shouted loudly: "Soldiers on the city tower, listen, I am Xiao Tielong, the leader of the Yunyan Kingdom. I am here to recover Yanjing today. Please lower the suspension bridge immediately. I forgive your innocence!"
The soldiers on the city looked at each other in confusion. Some soldiers had already reported this to the deputy general Zou Kai who was guarding the city. When Zou Kai saw that Xiao Tielong came to attack the city in person, he was shocked. He hurriedly came to the city tower and saw Xiao Tielong still calling the city below: "Soldiers on the city tower, Xiao Yong's rebellion has nothing to do with you. As long as you open the city I won't pursue any of the questions."
Zou Kai was furious. This old guy was here to deceive the soldiers. If any soldier was not firm in his position, he would open the tower and we would be finished. No, I can't let him talk anymore. Thinking of this, Zou Kai secretly took out his bow and arrows. I saw him aiming an arrow at Xiao Tielong's chest. Zou Kai's archery skills were also quite accurate. Hearing Xiao Tielong's "Oops", he had already been hit by an arrow and fell off the saddle.
The officials were shocked and immediately came to protect him. Zou Kai immediately ordered the city gate to be opened, and he sternly ordered: "Whoever catches Xiao Tielong will be rewarded with a thousand gold coins!"
The soldiers in the city shouted, and the soldiers outside the city immediately lied. Xi Ruoxuan led his guards to resist desperately, but they could not stop the tide-like impact in the city. They retreated dozens of miles away before they stabilized their position.
The ministers immediately asked the soldiers to set up camp and set up tents, and the imperial doctor arrived soon. Xiao Tielong was hit by the arrow in his chest. Fortunately, the location was a little off, otherwise he would have been saved. Even so, because Xiao Tielong is old, this injury cannot be taken lightly.
When the ministers saw that the emperor was seriously injured, they planned to retreat. Although Xi Ruoxuan was reluctant to do so, the commander was injured and the morale of the troops was severely depressed. It seemed unreasonable to talk about entering the army at this time.
The ministers told Xiao Tielong what they meant. Unexpectedly, Xiao Tielong became angry: "Didn't you keep asking me to take back Yanjing? Now that I am only slightly injured, you are retreating. Where has your original pride gone?"
Several ministers looked at each other and said to themselves that our emperor seemed to have changed. Isn't he quite afraid of trouble? How could he be so ruthless this time? Xi Ruoxuan also came over to persuade: "Father, how can you command an siege with a body like yours? You should retreat first!"
Xiao Tielong shook his head: "Weak Xuan! If I retreat, Prince Yin will be under great pressure. Besides, this is also a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If the traitor comes back, I'm afraid I won't be able to regain Yanjing."
Xiruoxuan almost burst into tears. She didn't expect that Xiao Tielong went into the army solely to repay his kindness. He also knew that Prince Yin was under a lot of pressure. If my guess is correct, he must know that Yancheng was also fighting fiercely.
"Father—" Xi Ruoxuan burst into tears, "Father, if you can trust your daughter, you can ask her to lead three thousand troops. She will steal the city tonight. My daughter promises you that she will be able to steal the tower."
Xiao Tielong nodded: "Well done, my father knows your martial arts, good! My father promises you, but three thousand is too little, at least ten thousand."
Xi Ruoxuan shook his head: "You don't need so many. The target of 10,000 troops is too big and will be easily exposed."
Xiao Tielong thought for a moment: "Let's do this! You go first with 3,000 men and horses, and I will ask the deputy general to lead 30,000 men and horses to follow. If you attack the city tower, open the city gate immediately, and then these soldiers can hold it steady for you. situation."
Xi Ruoxuan looked at Xiao Tielong gratefully: "Father, you are so thoughtful. My daughter will definitely regain Yanjing for you."
Xiao Tielong touched her head kindly: "You must pay attention to safety. If you really can't capture it, forget it. I think the traitor must also know the news. As long as he returns his troops, Prince Yin will not be so big." It’s stressful.”
"Father, don't worry! We'll look after our daughter tonight." Xi Ruoxuan said with confidence.
The night in Yanjing is very quiet, almost unbelievably quiet. The faint light shines on the tower, everything is so peaceful and casual. It was in such a quiet night that more than 100 elites from Xi Ruoxuan's advance force had arrived under the city tower. This is the vanguard among the vanguards. She is the soldier with the strongest martial arts skills selected from the three thousand soldiers. Wearing night clothes, they quietly approached the tower.
Xi Ruoxuan and others hid themselves under the tower, then waved their hands behind them. The three thousand soldiers following them suddenly shouted and rushed over with ladders. When the soldiers on the tower saw someone attacking the city, they flew to report to Zou Kai and shot down with bows and arrows. Soon, the siege soldiers fell off the ladder one by one.
When Xi Ruoxuan saw it, he immediately waved his hand at the more than 100 elites, who immediately picked up their hooks and threw them upwards. The hooks with ropes were quickly hooked on the ladders, and these elites stepped on the city wall and climbed up with the ropes in hand. Xiruoxuan was no exception. She took the lead and was the first to climb the tower. The soldiers on the tower focused their attention on the enemies on the stairs. Who would have thought that these enemies could climb up the walls. It might be due to negligence, or it might be because of the darkness, but Xi Ruoxuan succeeded. When these elites No. 100 came to the tower, they were hacked and killed. Although Xi Ruoxuan was at a disadvantage in terms of numbers, these elites were able to defeat a hundred, and the machetes in their hands swept through the city gate tower like flying winds. Soon those who defended the city could no longer hold it any longer. At the critical moment, deputy general Zou Kai arrived with a large team of troops. Now Xi Ruoxuan is in trouble, because no matter how strong you are, there is a large team of people. You can fight one against a hundred, but you can't fight against a thousand!
The soldiers who came over surrounded these elites like iron barrels. Xiruoxuan is so anxious, he said to the soldiers below the city tower, why don't you follow him. It's a pity that Xiaoxuan didn't know that the soldiers brought by Zou Kai quickly took up their positions and continued to shoot arrows at the bottom of the city tower. The soldiers below the city also knew that the general was up, and they also tried their best to attack upwards, but the opponent's firepower was too fierce, and they I can only look at the tower and sigh.
The most pitiable people now are the more than 100 elites on the city tower. They are surrounded by enemy troops. Their hands are cut soft and their weapons are curled. The enemies are still rushing towards them one after another. Xi Ruoxuan was even more furious, and the sword in his hand had already been dyed blood red.
This is not the most terrifying thing, the most terrifying thing is the deputy general Zou Kai, who is casting a sharp gaze on Xiruoxuan. Xi Ruoxuan quickly noticed this person. This was the top general of the city defense. Controlling him would mean controlling the battle situation. Xiruoxuan feinted with his sword, then jumped forward and stabbed Zou Kai. Zou Kai sneered, pulled out the bright silver gun he carried with him and flicked it, and Xi Ruoxuan's sword was gone. Zou Kai didn't give her a chance to breathe. He turned around and shot her. The shot was too fast. Xi Ruoxuan said "Ouch" and was shot in the hand.
Xi Ruoxuan was shocked and quickly retreated. Zou Kai was not willing to let her go. He quickly jumped up and another dragon came out of the sea. Xi Ruoxuan had no choice but to fight. At this time, her hand was injured and she was no match for Zou Kai. Seeing that Xi Ruoxuan was about to be captured by Zou Kai, a black shadow suddenly came at lightning speed. Seeing that no one had arrived, three darts were already attacking Zou Kai from three directions. Zou Kai was shocked and hurriedly used his gun to deflect the darts. As soon as he fired the dart, the black shadow arrived, and the man arrived and the sword arrived. Zou Kai hurriedly raised his gun to fight, but this man's skill with swordsmanship soon put him in trouble.
Xi Ruoxuan didn't want to look at it. When he saw it, he was extremely surprised. How could it be him? How could it be him. Su Shaokai, he came just in time. Now, we are saved.
Su Shaokai's sudden arrival made Zou Kai panic. Xi Ruoxuan didn't even talk to him and joined in the strangulation of Zou Kai. She hated this guy so much. Not only did she shoot Xiao Tielong, but she almost killed me just now. Now I want to let you taste the power of my Xi Ruoxuan. Xi Ruoxuan and Su Shaokai looked at each other and quickly reached a tacit understanding. The two of them immediately killed, especially Xi Ruoxuan, who used all her moves to hit Zou Kai's vitals. Zou Kai panicked and ran away in a hurry, while Xi Ruoxuan and Su Shaokai pursued him hard. Soon they reached the bottom of the city tower. As they chased through the city gate, Xi Ruoxuan winked at Su Shaokai, and they suddenly changed direction and headed towards the city gate.
There were more than a hundred soldiers guarding the city gate, but these soldiers had mediocre martial arts and were no match for Su Shaokai and Xi Ruoxuan. They were quickly dispersed. Xiruoxuan was so happy that he immediately removed the iron bolts of the city gate and lowered the suspension bridge. The city gate was finally opened, and soldiers from outside the city swarmed in, and the battle situation immediately turned. When the 30,000 soldiers and horses behind him arrived, Zou Kai could no longer recover. He had no choice but to lead the remaining defeated soldiers to his master Xiao Yong with his tail between his legs.
Xi Ruoxuan was overjoyed, holding Su Shaokai's hand and dancing non-stop: "How did you come, how did you know I'm here?"
Su Shaokai deliberately darkened his face: "You also said that you left me alone in Guyan City, which made me search for you all over the world. If I hadn't seen Prince Yin, I wouldn't have known that you had returned to Guyan City. "
"Have you met Prince Yin?" Xi Ruoxuan said in surprise.
"Yes! When I go to Dayou's capital to find you, I will naturally go to Prince Yin's Mansion."
"Then did he say anything?" Xi Ruoxuan lowered his head in embarrassment.
"No! He just said that you go to Gu Yan to ask King Yunyan to send troops, and he didn't say anything else."
"Oh!" Xi Ruoxuan was most afraid that Kuang Langyu would tell Su Shaokai about her vows of eternal love. If that happened, it would make him sad!
"Okay, let's go to the palace quickly! When we occupy the palace, we will ask Emperor Yunyan to come over, and then we will deal with Xiao Yong together." Su Shaokai suggested.
Xi Ruoxuan felt justified. At this time, in addition to pursuing the victory, occupying the palace was the top priority. The rest would be discussed later.
