Chapter 3059: Retreat with No Choice
"Boom, boom, boom..."
When the great elder Ye Hongcheng was flying towards the bottom at full speed, the farthest point in his sight was covered by countless violent spiritual energy collisions. In addition, various buildings collapsed with smoke and dust flying high. It can be said that since Ye Lin established the imperial capital, there has never been such a large-scale riot.
The Ye Lin Empire has indestructible city defense equipment and powerful city defense formations. Even when the Ye Lin imperial capital was the most empty, the Fengtian Dynasty avoided other county cities and external defense lines, and dispersed all its troops outside the imperial capital to launch a surprise attack. After ten consecutive days of attack, it did not even touch the edge of the city wall.
The current situation is completely different. Those weapons that are so powerful that they can even threaten the early stage of Ning Nian are all set up for external enemies. Even if they want to adjust the direction to attack internally, it is not a big project that can be completed in one or two days.
As for the powerful imperial capital defense formation, it is mainly based on defense, and the strongest attack methods are all defensive counterattack types. That is to say, when the formation is attacked, it will counterattack with dozens or even hundreds of times the force.
Now the enemy has reached the imperial capital, and no one will attack the rear like crazy, so the imperial capital defense formation can't play any role at all.
If you look down from above, you can clearly see that the fighting area is mainly concentrated at the intersection of the bottom and middle layers. There was originally a partition formation here, but it is not activated at all. The warriors of the Ye Lin Empire can only rely on their flesh and blood and tenacious will to withstand the enemy in front of them.
However, the long defense line has been torn apart in more than a dozen places, and a large number of warriors have rushed into the middle area. Anyone who dares to resist, even innocent pedestrians on the street, will be mercilessly killed.
The elder Ye Hongcheng flew quickly. He came quickly from the top of the Emperor Mountain, and he could clearly see the situation of the battle below.
After just a general look, Ye Hongcheng's face showed a trace of grief and anger, because the battle in front of him can be described as "a mess" in his eyes.
The main warriors participating in the battle at this time are the Imperial Capital Defense Force, and these warriors belong to the Empire's regular warriors. They will only be sent out when there is a large-scale battle or when there is a shortage of personnel. Usually, they only need to stay in the Imperial Capital to be responsible for the city defense.
However, since the battle against the Xuanwu Empire, there has been no battle for a long time. Most of the current city guards have heard about the war between the two countries from their fathers or even grandfathers.
Although these people have had regular training for many years, they have almost no real combat experience. On weekdays in the Imperial Capital, bullying an ordinary little warrior, eating a meal for free at a certain restaurant, and not paying back gambling debts will occasionally involve fighting. Almost even the sparring during training is mostly perfunctory.
If there is no war, there is no difference, but now when the crisis is really encountered, the situation of being unable to do it is completely exposed.
Seeing that the enemy, who was originally at a disadvantage in terms of numbers and cultivation, was constantly attacking, the city defense army of Ye Lin was forced to retreat step by step, and the gaps that could not be defended were gradually increasing.
There has been no war for so many years. Even the Tianping Mountains, which had occasional friction in the past, have been silent for thousands of years. Now it has almost become the royal hunting garden of the Ye Lin Empire.
Not to mention the city guards below, who have no idea how to cooperate and fight together to fight the enemy. Even the great elder Ye Hongcheng, seeing such a large-scale battle, felt that he was willing but unable to do it for a while.
"Stop! Who are you? You come to my Ye Lin to make trouble. Don't you know what the consequences will be?"
Ye Hongcheng is now close to the battlefield. He almost subconsciously releases his own cultivation. A strong man in the late stage of Yu Nian, he releases his pressure with all his strength. He intends to use this to stop the enemies in front of him from rushing and then find out the details of the other party.
But no one paid attention to his words. Even after seeing Ye Hongcheng coming, the speed of the attack was still accelerating.
After seeing this scene, Ye Hongcheng's face became even uglier. This time, he stopped talking nonsense and rushed down directly. His target was the most densely populated position of the warriors below.
Most of the warriors below were in the Qi Sensing Stage and Qi Nai Stage, and some were even in the early stage of Qi Sensing. With Ye Hongcheng's strength, rushing in must be as easy as cutting melons and vegetables.
But just as Ye Hongcheng rushed down quickly, a silver light suddenly appeared. The light came abruptly, and there was not even a sign in advance. Even though Ye Hongcheng had made preparations in advance, he was also a little flustered in the face of this lightning-like attack without any trace.
Fortunately, he took out his double swords before joining the battle. At this time, facing the sudden attack, Ye Hongcheng slashed down without hesitation.
"Ding"
Between the sparks, the silver light was chopped and flew out directly. At the moment of collision, Ye Hongcheng saw clearly that it was a dagger with exquisite shape. When Ye Hongcheng saw the dagger, he felt a sense of déjà vu.
When the dagger was knocked out and turned strangely in another direction, flying to the other side, Ye Hongcheng's pupils shrank suddenly, and his eyes followed the direction of the silver dagger.
"Boss Ye, your reaction is really good. It seems that your old bones can still hold on for a few more years!"
A strange voice sounded in the darkness. If you just look at the other party's voice and tone, it is even difficult to tell whether he is a man or a woman.
A cold light suddenly flashed in Ye Hongcheng's eyes, and then he said coldly: "No wonder the taste here is not right. I didn't expect it to be you, the androgynous Qianxiao. You were so seriously injured back then and didn't die. How could I be one step ahead of you.
At this point, Ye Hongcheng glanced down and said with gritted teeth: "Only you, a bunch of despicable Qianhuan Sect, would do such a heartless thing. You want to move the Ye Lin Empire, which is simply wishful thinking. You can't even eat the weak Xuanwu Empire, and now you dare to attack my Ye Lin Empire. "
"Hehe, whether you can take it down, you will understand in a while. "The man called Qian Xiao just finished speaking and immediately let out a low whistle.
As his voice fell, countless warriors rushed out from the streets. These people were actually ambushed behind the defense line of the Ye Lin City Guards. They suddenly rushed out at this time, causing many warriors of the City Guards to be attacked from both sides, and they were defeated for a while.
If Zuo Feng was here, he would be surprised to find that the large number of warriors who suddenly appeared at this time were all wearing the same gray clothes, which were exactly the same as those who attacked Zuojia Village and tortured Teng Xiaoyun to death.
The elder Ye Hongcheng was not unfamiliar with these people in front of him, because these people had been active in the Ye Lin Empire many years ago. And a long time ago, the man in front of him called Qian Xiao had fought with the elder.
At that time, the two were equally strong. Later, because the high priest arrived, not only did he almost kill Qian Xiao on the spot, but also the people who participated in the action at that time The warriors of the Qianhuan Sect who moved would only be killed by the chief priest.
Nearly a hundred years have passed since the events of that year, and the elder has even forgotten what happened back then. In his guess, Qianxiao must have fallen in that battle.
But today, the Yelin Imperial Capital was in chaos, and Qianxiao suddenly appeared. The countless warriors he could see in front of him were from the Happy Hall and the Bloodthirsty Hall, and those warriors wearing gray clothes were the strong men of the Poison Refining Hall in the Qianhuan Sect.
Such a lineup is already luxurious. Originally, Ye Hongcheng did not take these enemies seriously, but now he had to pay attention to them. Just from the contact just now, Ye Hongcheng could see that Qianxiao's strength was not only not inferior, but was even slightly better than his current self.
Just when Ye Hongcheng was looking solemn and considering how to deal with the chaos in front of him, suddenly a warrior in dark green warrior clothes came quickly.
"The king has ordered everyone to retreat to the top of the Emperor Mountain and gather strength to fight the opponent to the death."
"What! "After hearing this order, Ye Hongcheng's facial muscles twitched, and he couldn't help but ask angrily.
However, the messenger looked innocent and pointed to the back. Looking in the direction he pointed, you can see teams of warriors gathering and quickly heading towards the top of Emperor Mountain. Obviously, they are all following Ye Shan's orders.
"This, this, this... Hey!"
Seeing this scene, Ye Hongcheng was so angry that he trembled all over. He didn't expect that the king would give up the defense of the central part of the imperial capital so easily. This is equivalent to handing over seven or eight out of ten of the entire imperial capital to the enemy.
The heart was full of pain and unwillingness, but after a brief hesitation, Ye Hongcheng roared loudly: "Everyone retreat, retreat to the top of Emperor Mountain! "
He didn't want to issue this order, but he saw that the people from Shaoyu Palace and the Sacrifice Palace had begun to retreat quickly. Even the Ye family had begun to retreat. No matter how reluctant he was, he had no other choice at this time.
After coldly glaring at Qian Xiao in the distance, Ye Hongcheng finally led his men to retreat. The strange thing was that the group of people from the Qianhuan Sect did not directly launch a pursuit at this time, but instead dispersed and plundered the entire Ye Lin Imperial City.
Suppressing the anger in his chest, Ye Hongcheng still did not forget to wander around, constantly gathering the warriors scattered everywhere, even if there were some injured people, he would command his subordinates to take them away together.
Ye Hongcheng knew the Qianhuan Sect's style of doing things very well. The word "ruthless" was invented for them. If the injured were left behind, death would be the best result.
