Chapter 738 A good omen!

Even if he had the courage, he wouldn't dare to come again.

Liao Jiu said ashamedly, "Okay, Fourth Brother."

If he hadn't been forced to do so and the situation wasn't dangerous, he wouldn't have absorbed all five crystals at once.

Erlangjun interjected, "Time is running out. We don't have time to reminisce. Fourth brother, what's the situation outside now? Where has the five-nation coalition attacked?"

There is no need to explain the whole story. At this moment, we should drive out the Five-Nation Alliance first.

Si Langjun said, "We've already reached Cicheng. I left three thousand men there. I came here to rescue you first... Now it's best to go to Cicheng for support. Not only is Cicheng facing enemies, but the coalition forces of the five nations are also advancing on Daocheng, Shanliangguan, and Yanhuocheng..."

After saying this, he sternly said, "I came back too late. I will apologize to my adoptive father later! What's wrong with you? You have 50,000 bloody soldiers in your command, and you let them destroy the country?"

Erlangjun lowered his head under his scorching gaze.

Jiang Lianzhu hurried to smooth things over and briefly recounted what had happened.

Si Langjun retracted his gaze, "I knew there must be something fishy going on. Second brother, you've suffered! As long as you're still alive, it's enough. A gentleman's revenge is never too late."

"Yeah. I think so too." Erlangjun said hatefully.

There is no time to lose.

"Let's leave here first and go to Cicheng. Cicheng is still far away from here. It will take several days to get there by fast horse."

"Okay." Everyone reached a consensus.

Erlang Jun continued, "Fourth brother, if you defeat that Gu Yu, he will definitely not die. He is a powerful eighth-level cultivator. Do we still need to send people to guard him?"

Silangjun shook his head, "No, it can't be defended."

Unless they all stay here to guard, but that is obviously impossible, they have more important things to do.

But none of his men could deal with Gu Yu.

A cliff cannot trap an eighth-level expert, so there is no need to waste time on this.

"Then let's hurry to Cicheng."

After the discussion, we prepared to set off.

Silangjun and his men brought war horses with them.

Two horses were allocated to Liao Jiu and his wife.

We set off at full speed.

Just after getting off the cliff slope, Jiang Lianzhu had an idea and she looked up at the sky in surprise!

Two small black dots flew over from a distance.

It is riding the wind and the strong wind!!

Two clear and beautiful whistles and long calls resounded through the sky...

It flapped its huge wings and headed straight for Jiang Lianzhu and her husband.

***

Cicheng.

It is already a city in the central part of Da'an State.

The army of Da'an Kingdom learned a few days ago that the coalition forces of five countries had captured several cities of Da'an Kingdom, and now they have divided into several groups to provide support in various places.

The second princess led a group of people to garrison Cicheng, which is a very important city and a must-pass place to enter the capital of Da'an Kingdom.

As long as she holds this place, no one can attack the capital.

On the city wall, General Jiang, Zhou Yuan and others were standing beside the Second Princess.

General Jiang had already retreated from Yuecheng and retreated all the way to Cicheng. He met the second princess guarding the city here, so he stayed there.

The situation in Cicheng is also quite bad.

The second princess stood on the city wall and looked into the distance.

"Old General, you've retreated from the front. What's the situation in the cities ahead? You have experience leading troops in battle. Cicheng hopes for your help. This princess swears to defend Cicheng."

General Jiang replied, "To be honest, I'm incompetent. The Left and Right Regents are away, and we've run out of gunpowder and weapons. To preserve our strength, I had no choice but to lead my men back. Firstly, to avoid a pointless struggle and wait for the Left and Right Regents to return, and secondly, to protect the gunpowder and weapons from falling into the hands of the enemy. That's why we've come all the way here."

At this time, Zhou Yuan was no longer the elegant scholar who had won the imperial examination. After what he had experienced during this period of time, he now had a messy beard and wore ill-fitting soldier's clothes. At first glance, even his parents would not recognize him.

"The princess said to defend, so we will defend it! Cicheng is a city of food and grass, and we must not lose it!" Zhou Yuan said in a hoarse voice.

Marching and fighting are too hard.

It's another process of fleeing, so it's normal to have no food or water.

I only had a full meal when I arrived in Cicheng.

However, he did not complain. He was lucky to be able to keep his life under such circumstances.

As long as he is alive, he will continue to do it.

The Second Princess said, "I still have great hope of holding on. The Fourth Young Master has appeared, and he has left 3,000 Blood Battle Troops in Cicheng. 3,000 Blood Battle Troops can be equivalent to 30,000 soldiers!"

General Jiang slapped his thigh and said, "That's great. Where is Mr. Silang?"

The King of War is away, and Silangjun has returned to Da'an State, which is also very good news.

During the bloody battle, Erlang Jun did nothing, but when Silang Jun returned, perhaps things would be completely different.

"The whereabouts of Silangjun are unknown, but his soldiers have arrived."

General Jiang was even more excited. "This is the style of Silangjun! It's good to be missing!! Great!!"

Only by being missing can the enemy be feared and deal a heavy blow to them.

At this moment, thick smoke rolled in from the distant city.

General Jiang cursed, "Damn it, they're catching up again!!"

Because they have gunpowder weapons in Yuecheng, their Yuecheng team will be chased wherever they go. In addition, Cicheng is a key city with sufficient food and grass. The coalition forces of the five countries have been fighting for such a long time and are short of food and water, so the team that has gathered here looks quite large.

Judging from the billowing smoke and dust, there were at least over 100,000 troops.

The second princess was shocked.

It was the first time she had seen such a scene, and she was frightened. Although she had done a lot of psychological preparation for herself, she was still a little shocked when the real thing happened.

Although she was panicked, she had already made the decision to fight to the death.

Standing on the highest point of the city wall, she raised her arms and shouted, "The enemy is attacking! Everyone be on guard!! We in Cicheng have 20,000 bloody soldiers. We won't necessarily lose to them. We have traps and city defenses. We swear to live and die with Cicheng!! First crossbow! This princess will shoot!!"

It is true that women are as good as men.

Princess Da'an is not afraid of death, so what should they, these worthless lives, be afraid of?

The morale of the soldiers on the city wall was greatly boosted! They all shouted, "We will live and die with Cicheng! Protect Cicheng! Protect Her Royal Highness the Princess!!"

Zhou Yuan's eyes were fixed on the second princess, his gaze was fiery and dull, and he felt his blood boiling.

The second princess was not very old and was not very tall. She was dressed in ordinary clothes at this moment, wearing the ordinary armor worn by soldiers, but her image was so tall that it made the world pale in comparison.

As the enemy approached, the second princess fired the first crossbow!

The whistling sound of the giant crossbow rose into the sky, and the crossbow arrow flew straight towards the general's flag in front of the enemy army.

The flag of Aquarius fell down.

Cicheng cheered loudly!!

Good omen! !

The second princess is good at archery!

Soon the enemy troops were getting closer and closer. When General Jiang saw this, his heart sank. There were indeed 100,000 of them, only more and no less.

This was already difficult enough to deal with. When General Jiang saw the skinny old man walking in the wind above the enemy's heads, his pupils shrank!
