Comprehensive martial arts: Qixia town storytellers, the beginning of the tie to Qiao Feng

Chapter 444 The army crushes the realm!

The reason why the Bronze City is called the Bronze City is because the person who built the city was named Bronze.

On the other hand, it is because the surface of the city wall is made of bronze.

The Bronze City is not that big, its walls are no more than ten feet high, and its length and width are no more than sixty miles.

It is not smaller than Shacheng, but even smaller than Loucheng.

Among the top ten cities in Tuyu, Bronze City only ranks eighth.

However, because the geographical location of the Bronze City is relatively close to the Golden Region, the trade with the Golden Region is relatively frequent, which also makes the Bronze City very prosperous.

In addition, Shacheng and Loucheng have been fighting against the invaders from the devil world, while Bronze City is a safe place.

This caused many civilians to relocate from Loucheng and Shacheng to Bronze City.

The arrival of a large population also made the Bronze City more prosperous.

At least when Lu Yan came to the Bronze City, what he saw was a happy and peaceful scene.

The people here seem to be completely unaffected by the haze of the fall of Shacheng and Loucheng.

Most of the people Lu Yan met had enthusiastic smiles on their faces.

At this time, Lu Yan has transformed himself into a native of Tuyu through 72 transformations.

He walked among the crowd, from his words and deeds to his appearance, it was almost impossible to find any faults.

After wandering the street for a while, he casually walked into a mutton restaurant on the street and ordered a bowl of haggis soup and a piece of sesame seed cake.

While soaking biscuits in mutton soup, I listened to the chatter of the crowd.

At this time, there were many people sitting in the mutton restaurant, and many people were talking about what happened in Tuyu recently.

"I heard from people who came back from Dragon City two days ago that both Shacheng and Loucheng were lost, and were taken away by invaders from the Demon World!"

The speaker was a middle-aged man with a goatee. He had a dark complexion, a thin body, and was bare-chested. The bones on his body were extremely obvious, as if he was skinny.

When everyone heard what the man with the goatee said, they turned their eyes subconsciously.

Someone echoed, "I've heard that too. It's said that Marshal Lou voluntarily withdrew from Loucheng!"

A young man said angrily: "Retreat without fighting, what's the point?"

An old man shook his head and said, "What do you know, you brat? If Shacheng falls, Loucheng will become a lonely city. If Marshal Lou sticks to Loucheng, he will definitely be consumed by demon invaders!"

Everyone nodded in agreement when they heard the words.

Shacheng and Loucheng are one body, one prospers and the other prospers, and the other loses and loses.

In the case of the fall of Shacheng, it is meaningless to continue to hold on to Loucheng, and it will consume the fighting power of the soil domain for nothing.

The most sensible decision is to abandon Loucheng and transfer personnel.

Although emotionally speaking, this is a difficult thing to accept.

But intellectually speaking, this is undoubtedly the best choice.

Young people don't understand these things, and they don't blame them.

After all, young and ignorant.

The young man was still a little unconvinced, and said stubbornly: "I heard that they retreated as soon as they knew that Shacheng had fallen, and they didn't persist. Let's see if they can take back Shacheng!"

When the old man heard the words, he blew his beard and stared in anger, and said loudly: "How can you try this! You said it lightly, it's a war! If you fail, I don't know how many people will die on the battlefield!"

The young man was still dissatisfied, but seeing the angry look of the old man, he muttered softly: "They are soldiers, and they should go to the battlefield to kill the enemy. Shouldn't it be an honor for them to die on the battlefield?"

Hearing the words, the old man scolded angrily on the spot: "You bastard! Do you know that the reason why you are able to sit here and talk nonsense today is because of the sacrifice of so many soldiers?"

The others were also angry at this time.

They can have a happy and stable life today, which is inseparable from the hard work of the frontline soldiers.

They should be grateful.

It's fine for this young man not to be grateful, but to say such chilling words, he is simply a scumbag!
The fat owner of the mutton restaurant walked over quickly with a big knife in his hand, and said to the young man with a look of disgust, "Get out, get out!"

Seeing that the owner of the mutton restaurant wanted to drive him away, the young man blushed immediately and said with a stiff neck, "I'm eating at your place, why do you drive him away!"

duh!
The owner of the mutton restaurant put the knife on the table with one hand, and directly threw the broth in front of the young man with the other hand.

Seeing this, the local dog at the side immediately came over and stuck out his tongue to lick the haggis and broth on the ground.

The owner of the mutton restaurant looked at the young man with an earthy face, and cursed: "I won't do your business in this restaurant anymore! Get out!"

Hearing the words of the owner of the mutton restaurant, the people watching the excitement all around shouted loudly, and some people clapped their hands and applauded.

After being insulted by this, the young man suddenly felt his face was dull. He got up and ran away from the mutton restaurant, and got into the alley beside him.

When Lu Yan saw this scene, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

It can be seen that the normal Tuyu people are still very protective of the Loucheng troops, and they also understand the Loucheng troops very well.

People like this young man are, after all, a minority.

The young man left here, and everyone continued to discuss what happened just now.

"I heard that large forces are withdrawing to the Golden City."

"Golden City is a big place and has a lot of supplies, and it's closer to the Golden Region. This is a good choice."

"It is possible to lure the invaders from the demon world to our side."

"What are you afraid of! We dare to fight if they dare to come!"

There was a lot of discussion among the people, and most of them supported the withdrawal of the Loucheng troops to the Golden City.

As for the devil invaders.

From everyone's point of view, if it weren't for the Loucheng troops struggling to support the front line, the demon invaders would have come here long ago.

Now it's just that what should have happened has happened, and there is nothing difficult to accept.

"what!"

While everyone was discussing, there was a sudden scream from the street outside.

Lu Yan turned his head subconsciously, and saw that the young man who had uttered wild words here before was being chased and beaten by a big man.

The young man ran and shouted something like "Dad, I was wrong".

Obviously, this is a play where the father beats his son.

After a little guessing, Lu Yan knew that this was probably because his son was bullied and went home to file a complaint. When I asked why, Dang even couldn't help but want to beat up this unfilial son!
The big man held an iron bar in his hand, pointed at the young man and cursed angrily: "Your old man was saved by Marshal Lou back then. You don't know how to be grateful, and you speak rudely. See if I don't beat you to death today." !"

Everyone on the street was still wondering why the big man chased and beat his son.

At this time, after hearing the big man's explanation, everyone knew that it was the young man who had spoken rudely to Marshal Lou.

Immediately, everyone was filled with righteous indignation.

If he doesn't kill him directly, why not keep it for the Chinese New Year!
Seeing everyone's reaction, Lu Yan couldn't help but smile even wider.

"Sure enough, Lou Xiao is still very popular in the soil domain."

Lu Yan lowered his head to take a mouthful of soaked pancakes, and then took a mouthful of hot mutton soup. The meat was rich and delicious.

While Lu Yan was enjoying the delicious food, a figure suddenly flew over the Bronze City!
"Urgent military situation! Urgent military situation!"

When everyone heard the shout, they subconsciously raised their heads and looked at the figure in the sky.

I saw that this person was dressed in a strong khaki suit with a flag stuck behind his back, which was the standard attire for scouts in the Loucheng troops!

Lu Yan looked at the scout and couldn't help frowning.

Why did this scout send an emergency military message to Bronze City?
Just when Lu Yan thought so, the scout quickly fell into the City Lord's Mansion of the Bronze City.

The city lord Mo Tieshan sat on the first seat, looked at the scouts who were walking quickly, and asked in a deep voice: "What is the military situation?"

The scout stepped forward quickly, handed a secret letter to Mo Tieshan, and replied: "The invaders from the demon world have raised their troops from Baiqiu Mountain to the north, and their target is directly at the Bronze City! It is expected to arrive at the Bronze City in six days!"

Mo Tieshan looked at the secret report in his hand, his expression remained unchanged, and asked, "What orders does Marshal Lou have?"

The scout replied: "The Marshal has led his army to change course and is heading towards the Bronze City. It is expected to arrive tomorrow. Please also invite the city lord to open the city to welcome Marshal Lou into the city!"

Mo Tieshan nodded and said, "Of course! Go back and tell Marshal Lou that I will prepare all the supplies for the army and wait for the army to arrive!"

The scouts led the way.

Mo Tieshan summoned everyone in the city lord's mansion and issued orders one by one.

It is not an easy task to prepare a batch of supplies for 100,000 people, and it must be done quickly.

Mutton House.

Lu Yan sat still, but with his clairvoyance and wind ear, he saw and heard everything that happened in the City Lord's Mansion just now.

"I didn't expect the Demon Realm to head towards the Bronze City!"

"And Lou Xiao actually wants to divert halfway to Bronze City!"

Lu Yan murmured in a low voice.

He didn't intend to show up, and was going to silently pay attention to all this with this new identity.

Presumably with Yang Shan around, there shouldn't be any accidents.

If Lord Ziwei also appeared here, it would not be too late for him to reappear.

After eating and drinking, Lu Yan randomly chose an inn to stay.

In the blink of an eye, a day passed.

Outside the Bronze City, the figure of Loucheng troops has become more and more clear.

The people of Bronze City spontaneously carried baskets filled with fruits, vegetables and dry food to the outside of the city, and warmly welcomed the arrival of the troops from Loucheng.

In their view, the Loucheng army is not a defeated army, but their heroic army!
It deserves their warmest cheers for their arrival!
Lou Xiao sat on the head of the two-headed lion, looking at the enthusiastic Bronze City people, his eyes got wet.

For a long time, as the head coach of Loucheng, he was under great pressure to fight against the invaders from the demon world on the front line.

Because what he bears is not only the life and death of the Loucheng troops, but also the life and death of everyone in the entire territory.

In this defeat, Shacheng and Loucheng were all lost.

Without this barrier, the soil domain is like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered in front of the demon invaders.

Intruders from the Demon Realm can attack any direction unscrupulously in the soil area without worrying about problems with the transmission channel.

He had thought that when he appeared in the Bronze City, there might be countless people who would spurn him and insult him.

He is already mentally prepared to face this.

But when he saw those enthusiastic people shouting "Marshal Lou has worked hard", he, a big man who has lived for thousands of years and has already looked down on life and death, still couldn't help but shed tears of emotion.

The enthusiastic performance of the people made him realize that his efforts over the past few years were not meaningless.

And now he can't fall down!

For the loveliest people in front of him, he must persevere!

Lu Yan mixed in the crowd, looking at Lou Xiao with tears in his eyes, he was filled with emotion.

No matter who faced this scene, I'm afraid they couldn't help but be deeply moved.

"If the hearts of the people are available, the soil domain can still be saved."

Lu Yan quietly retreated from the crowd and returned to Bronze City.

When Lou Xiao arrived in Bronze City, Mo Tieshan placed the Loucheng troops in the camp that had been prepared long ago.

This camp is located in the south of Bronze City, only twenty miles away from Bronze City.

Among them, living utensils and various materials are readily available.

It can fully meet the daily needs of the Loucheng troops.

After Lou Xiao entered the city lord's mansion, Mo Tieshan took the initiative to hand over the city lord's seal to Lou Xiao, and Lou Xiao would coordinate everything in Bronze City today.

Lou Xiao was not polite to Mo Tieshan either.

The first order he gave after receiving the seal from the city lord was to ask Mo Tieshan to go to the Golden City and the Silver City to ask for help, and he needed all the manpower and supplies.

The city lords of the Golden City and the Silver City both have the surname Mo, and they belong to the same family as Mo Tieshan, so it is naturally most appropriate for Mo Tieshan to ask for help.

Mo Tieshan also simply accepted the order and left quickly.

Immediately afterwards, Lou Xiao issued several orders in succession.

Recruit formation masters from all over the city to reinforce the defensive formation.

This city defense formation is the top priority.

If the city defense array is not good, it may be difficult to resist the attack of the demon world!

In the blink of an eye, five days passed.

During these five days, Lou Xiao issued 39 orders one after another, all of which were perfectly implemented.

During these five days, the Golden City and the Silver City each mobilized more than [-] monks to help defend the Bronze City.

At the same time, they also brought a large amount of supplies, enough for the normal use of the Bronze City for two months.

Plus the materials already owned by the Bronze City.

As long as the defense formation is not broken, it will be enough for the Bronze City to survive the high-intensity battle for at least three months!
And as the Bronze City became more and more fully prepared, the frequency of scouts sending information became more and more frequent.

The 300,000 army of the Demon Realm has arrived only three thousand miles away from the Bronze City!

With the marching speed of the demon army, at most one stick of incense can cross the distance of three thousand miles and approach the Bronze City!

However, it is obviously impossible for the demon army to launch an attack immediately after arriving.

Although they came by cloud boat, they were not tired.

However, more than half of the 300,000 troops are not yet fully familiar with the harsh climate of the soil region, and it will take some time to adapt.

According to Lu Yan's prediction, in the next period of time, the demon army and the Bronze City should focus on confrontation and small-scale battles.

A war will not break out in a short time.

But when Lu Yan thought so, something unexpected happened.

The demon army did not station in the distance to confront the Bronze City according to Lu Yan's prediction.

Instead, they directly crossed the distance of three thousand miles and came to the Bronze City!
Lu Yan stood on the roof of the inn, looking at the three huge cloud boats slowly approaching from a distance, and seeing the rolling magic clouds above the cloud boats, he couldn't help frowning.

"They are going to attack so soon? This is not normal."

City Lord's Mansion.

When Yang Shan learned that the demon army was approaching the city, he was as astonished as Lu Yan, full of puzzlement.

They have a large formation to defend the city, waiting for work with ease.

Although the demon army has a large number of people, its combat effectiveness is limited because it has not fully adapted to the harsh climate of the soil area. It is not only difficult to gain anything if it comes to attack the city at this time, but it may suffer heavy losses.

Such a decision is really unwise.

He couldn't understand why the Demon Realm made such a decision.

Lou Xiao looked at Yang Shan and asked, "Why do you think they did this?"

Yang Shan shook his head and replied, "I don't know."

Speaking of this, Yang Shan hesitated for a while, and then said: "Maybe Yan Lu can see through the intentions of the Demon Realm."

Hearing Yang Shan mention Lu Yan, Lou Xiao couldn't help sighing softly.

At this time, where should he go to find Lu Yan?

Just when Lou Xiao thought of this, the three cloud boats in the Demon Realm slowly stopped.

The defense array of the Bronze City was also lit up at this moment.

On the city wall, tens of thousands of golden immortals are waiting in formation, each holding the most powerful magic weapon in their hands, waiting for the start of the battle!
Suddenly, a figure slowly walked out of the magic cloud.

Holding the stag tail in his hand, he looked at the Bronze City and said loudly: "Lou Wudi, Daoist Xiayun, please go out of the city for a while."

City Lord's Mansion.

When Lou Xiao heard Taoist Yun's shout, his expression remained unchanged, and he whispered, "Is this guy leading the army here?"

Daoist Yun came to Tuyu ten years ago.

Lou Xiao has dealt with Taoist Yun several times before, so he naturally knows Taoist Yun's skills.

He didn't think Taoist Yun was capable of taking down the Bronze City that he and Yang Shan were defending together.

So this time Daoist Yun led the army to come here, it should be for other purposes.

Thinking of this, Lou Xiao got up and flew out of the city.

He slowly came to Taoist Yun, and asked Taoist Yun, "Taoist Yun, what are you going to do?"

Taoist Yun looked at Lou Xiao and asked with a smile: "Lou Wudi, you have been invincible for ten years, now you have lost one battle and lost both cities, how do you feel now?"

Lou Xiao took a deep look at Taoist Yun, and asked, "You asked to see me by name, is it just to mock him?"

Taoist Yun shook his head, and replied: "It's meaningless to ridicule you, I just want to tell you that Yang Shan owes a lot to your achievements today."

When Lou Xiao heard Taoist Yun mention Yang Shan suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something, his face changed suddenly, he turned around and flew towards the City Lord's Mansion!
Taoist Yun watched Lou Xiao's leaving figure and did not stop him, he just smiled and watched Lou Xiao leave.

Because he knew that it was too late for Lou Xiao to go back now!
