Chapter 144 Breakout

Perhaps it was the resolute actions of the soldiers. The moment Xu Yuan finished speaking, Captain Wang shouted loudly outside the house:

"Somebody come!"

"Squeak——"

The old-fashioned wooden door was pushed open from the outside almost immediately. The adjutant standing outside came to the front of the hall and knelt down half-kneeling, cupping his fists and saying:

"General Wang, what are your orders?"

Captain Wang stood up and briefly arranged his work:

"Immediately take people to the City Defense Department to check the operation of various formations in the city, and inform He Xinchuan to lead the Second Battalion to be ready to go out of the city to meet Li Shengwu at any time."

"."

The adjutant's eyes were a little stunned. Although he didn't know the reason, he just accepted the order with his fists clasped:

"yes!"

"Go down."

As soon as he finished speaking, the adjutant didn't stop at all. He directly activated his military skills and flew away outside.

Captain Wang stopped when he reached the door and glanced back at Xu Yuan in the room:

"Mr. Zhou, Wang is temporarily excused."

"Captain Wang, please excuse me. My senior sister and I will go back to the inn first. If something happens to the city defense array, Captain Wang can send someone to inform me."

The night is getting darker.

Two hours later.

Under the leadership of the general he had seen before, Xu Yuan climbed onto the city wall of Shengshan County.

Compared with the 20-foot tall city wall of Jingjiang Prefecture, the city wall of Shengshan County can only be regarded as a small bag of dirt.

Three feet and four feet long, the hard bluestone remains with the aftermath of the battle, with pits dug and even formation patterns exposed in some places.

Following the general without saying a word, Xu Yuan could see that the burly middle-aged man's face was so gloomy that he could cry.

It looked like something was wrong.

Shrouded by the phantom fog formation, there was no moonlight in the sky, and there was only the flickering light of the bonfire on the city wall.

After marching silently for a distance and using his skills a little, Xu Yuan saw several generals in military uniforms at the end of the city wall, including Captain Wang.

When several generals standing on the city wall saw Xu Yuan coming, they looked him up and down and left in silence. Only Captain Wang came forward to greet him.

After standing still, Captain Wang still got straight to the point:

"Mr. Zhou, Wang will confirm with you again. Do you really have no direct evidence to prove that Wanxiang Sect wants to massacre the city?"

When Xu Yuan heard this, he shook his head slightly:

"It is impossible for the Wanxiang Sect to leave direct evidence for this kind of thing. You probably don't understand, Captain Wang."

Captain Wang was quiet for a moment and sighed longly:

"Indeed."

Xu Yuan looked sideways outside the city.

Standing on the city wall on this side, you can clearly see the Shengshan border troops formed in a military formation outside the city, slaughtering the monster beasts drawn out from the phantom fog formation:

"Captain Wang, how is the situation now?"

Captain Wang pondered for a moment, and also looked at the military formation over there:

"There are more than double the number of monsters in the phantom fog formation than in previous years."

"No, I mean the communication crystal."

Xu Yuan asked the question he was most concerned about.

If the communication crystal can still function, then he can wave people over.

Regarding his question, Colonel Wang remained silent and did not speak.

Seeing this, Xu Yuan sighed.

Judging from the other party's reaction, the communication crystal may have failed.

In other words, today's Shengshan County has completely cut off all contact with the outside world and has become an out-and-out isolated city.

However, Xu Yuanjue felt that if only the communication crystal failed, Captain Wang would not show such an expression:

"Is there something wrong with the city defense formation too?"

"Yes."

Colonel Wang's voice was low, and he looked at the formation patterns on the city wall with a helpless sigh:

"The spiritual energy pool of the city defense formation has been tampered with, and now the entire formation is only 20% charged."

"Where's the Phantom Mist Formation?"

"There is a problem with the formation's control pattern. Now we cannot control the formation."

"."

Xu Yuan frowned, pondered slightly, and asked in a low voice:

"When Xu Xinyao was carving the formation, weren't you Shengshan border troops the first to control the formation?"

Although the materials for building the formation were provided by the Wanxiang Sect, when it came to the lives of the people in a city, the fourth sister would not be stupid enough to leave it to the sect to control such a principled issue.

Colonel Wang was silent for a moment and said:

"According to the formation drawings given by Miss Xu, our Shengshan County frontier troops are indeed the first to control the formation."

"So the drawings were secretly changed?" Xu Yuan narrowed his eyes: "Xu Xinyao should not make such a low-level mistake."

"boom!"

Lieutenant Wang punched the city battlement with his fist clenched tightly:

"They probably did it after Miss Xu left!"

"After leaving?" Xu Yuan raised his eyebrows.

Colonel Wang's tone was filled with helplessness:

"Something happened to Miss Xu's third brother, and the Magic Mist Formation was not yet completed, so Miss Xu had to leave first. It was probably during the final completion period that the formation masters of the Wanxiang Sect secretly changed the formation diagram left by Miss Xu. ”

"."

Xu Yuan sighed:

"Even if she doesn't leave, the result will be the same. As long as Wanxiang Sect doesn't give up the plan of creating ghost mist, it's just a difference between earlier and later."

As he spoke, Xu Yuan changed the topic and asked directly:

"So, Colonel Wang, what do you want to do when you come to me now?"

"."

A moment of silence,

Captain Wang rubbed his hands and his loud voice became a little hesitant:

"Master Zhou, can you and your senior sister help me in Shengshan County? We will pay you."

Xu Yuan was not surprised by Captain Wang's request.

Now that the city is isolated and helpless, having a third-grade grandmaster to help plunder the formation is nothing more than providing help in the snow under the current situation.

However, Xu Yuan did not agree in a hurry. Looking at the Shengshan border troops fighting bloody battles outside the city, he whispered:

"Captain Wang, are you preparing to defend the city?"

"."

This question seemed to stop Captain Wang. He looked at him and said with slight hesitation:

"The opening of the Phantom Mist Formation is getting bigger and bigger. Now, a thousand monster beasts are flowing out every hour. At this rate, tomorrow or even the day after, the number of monster beasts flowing out of it every hour will exceed 3,000. , The military formation cannot defeat them, so we can only rely on the city wall formation to defend."

Xu Yuan shook his head gently and asked:

"Captain Wang, do you think you can hold on?

"Or do you think the Wanxiang Sect will let you guard Shengshan County?"

"." Captain Wang was silent.

Xu Yuan sighed and whispered:

"Captain Wang, do you know what is the only advantage that the Shengshan border army has over the Wanxiang Sect now?"

"."

After a moment of silence, Captain Wang probed:

"City defense formation?"

"of course not."

"what is that?"

"Poor information."

Xu Yuan looked at Captain Wang and said word by word:

"The Wanxiang Sect still doesn't know that you already know about their plan to create ghost mist in Shengshan County."

Saying,

Xu Yuan looked at the confusion in the eyes of the burly middle-aged man in front of him, smiled and said:

"Captain Wang, the information gap is very important."

"If the Wanxiang Sect knew about this, they would never boil frogs in warm water like they are doing now. Instead, they would directly let in all the monster beasts in the illusory fog formation."

Xu Yuan raised his hand and pointed at the military formation outside the city:

"Imagine that tens of thousands of demonic beasts trapped in the phantom fog formation burst out of the fog at once. Can you, the Wansheng Mountain frontier army, be able to hold on?"

Captain Wang clenched his fists slightly, looked at the young man in front of him, took a deep breath, and said:

"You mean, we have to break out?"

Xu Yuan said nothing, but it was basically equivalent to acquiescence.

Defending is bound to fail.

Whether you calculate in your mind or not, you have no idea how many backup options the Wanxiang Sect has left.

The monsters in the first round may be just one part of it.

It is possible to blow up the city wall, cause civil strife, or have high-level cultivators sneak into the city to create chaos.

But breaking through would mean giving up the 400,000 civilian refugees inside and outside Shengshan.

Silence gradually spreads in the cold wind on the city wall
