NOVEL NEXT Chapter 88 Longfeng City
Longfeng City, located in the north of Qingzhou, is an important military town on the border of Qingzhou.
The Great Qin Dynasty attached great importance to Longfeng City, and there were 5000 elite troops stationed in Longfeng City all year round.
If there were usually 5,000 elite soldiers, even if they faced an attack of 10,000 barbarians, they would be able to keep the barbarians out of the city. After all, although the barbarians were powerful cavalry, their siege ability was not that strong.
Moreover, ordinary barbarians are not that stupid, they usually just plunder and would not touch a fortified city like Longfeng City.
A strong city like Longfeng City cannot be conquered with few people, and it is not worthwhile to conquer it with many people.
So, usually go around.
However, today is different from the past, the city lord of Longfeng City suddenly organized soldiers to escort the people in the city to evacuate, and a chilling atmosphere permeated the city.
Usually the 5000 elite defenders are stationed in the barracks outside the city, but today they are all armed and stationed in the city, and all the streets in the city are closed.
The news of the barbarian invasion has also spread in the city, so when the city lord's mansion organized the evacuation of the people, most of the people cooperated and left, only a few elderly people did not cooperate, yelling that even if they were going to die, they would die at home .
For those who don't cooperate, those big soldiers will not be used to it, even if they are tied, they will be kidnapped.
At this time, there were more than a dozen generals in armor sitting in the city lord's mansion, and the one sitting in the high position was Liu Tongfu, the city lord of Longfeng City.
Liu Tongfu was about forty or fifty years old, with a resolute face, sharp eyes, and a fierce aura no less than that of the generals present.
He was originally from Qingzhou, and later joined the Qingyun Sect, joined the army, and was later promoted to be a centurion and a thousand commander because of his military exploits. Finally, he was valued by the Marquis of Yangling and promoted to the position of the city lord of Longfeng City.
Liu Tongfu glanced at the generals, and said in a deep voice: "The city lord has received the news that the barbarian army has broken through Yancheng, and more than 10 generals under the city lord have died in battle."
As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar immediately.
The distance between Yancheng and Longfeng City is only a hundred miles. Now that Yancheng is broken, the next target of attack is Longfeng City.
"My lord, the walls of Yancheng have been raised over the years, and there are nearly a thousand defenders stationed in the city. How could it be breached so quickly?" A young general stood up and asked.
Liu Tongfu looked at this young general, he knew this person, he was also from the Qingyun sect, he was his younger brother, he had already achieved the position of commander-in-chief in less than five years after joining the army.
"This time the barbarians dispatched at least 300,000 cavalry. According to reliable sources, there will be more barbarian troops in the future."

When the troops were dispatched, Yancheng couldn't stop the barbarian attack at all, and it was broken after only holding on for less than an hour. "Liu Tongfu said in a deep voice.
hiss--
Everyone gasped.
The barbarians are crazy this time.
It is absolutely crazy to dispatch 300,000 cavalry at one time.
Is this an all-out war with Daqin?
In previous years, it was very rare to dispatch 10,000 cavalry for looting.
"Generals, it is obvious that the barbarians want to completely invade our Qingzhou this time. The barbarians are tyrannical, Yancheng has been devastated, and I heard that the people are very different from each other. The owner of this city is deeply favored by the king, and he absolutely does not allow such a thing in Longfeng happened in the city."
Liu Tongfu looked excited and said with firm eyes.
"I am willing to fight the enemy bravely with the city lord!" All the generals stood up and clasped their fists, shouting loudly.
"Okay, okay! If all the generals agree with me, we will definitely be able to keep the barbarians out of the city." Liu Tongfu said with excitement and confidence.
At this time, a middle-aged general hesitated for a moment, and Liu Tongfu saw him and asked him: "General Zheng, what do you want to say?"
When General Zheng was called, although he hesitated, he still said: "My lord, although Longfeng City is stronger than Yan City, it may not be able to defend for a day with only the existing 5,000 defenders."
The other generals also agreed after hearing this.
"That's right, the barbarians are 300,000 cavalry. With only this few of us, let alone field battles, we might not even be able to defend the city for a day."
"The general is not afraid of dying in battle, but he must not let 5,000 sons die in vain."
"We can't fight this battle. The barbarians are already very strong, and there are so many people. We have no chance of winning."
"Oh, I don't know when the army will come to support."
"I heard that Lord Hou is dead, and none of the deputy commanders will accept anyone, and the capital has not sent anyone to take over as the commander for a long time. What should we do now?"
...
Liu Tongfu stopped the generals from discussing further, and said loudly: "Don't worry, generals, I have already spread the news and got a reply. Not only will there be reinforcements coming, but there will also be assistance from the sect."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
If there are reinforcements, let them support for a day or two, they still have motivation.
"Report to the city lord." At this moment, a spy walked in quickly and saluted Liu Tongfu.
"Say."
"City Master, the barbarian army has already left the city and is heading straight for our Longfeng City." The spies said quickly.
"So fast--"
Liu Tongfu slightly
Frowning, he thought that the barbarians would have a good rest for two days after breaking through Yancheng, but he never thought that they would send people to Longfeng City so soon.
"How many people are here?" Liu Tongfu asked.
"The subordinates have repeatedly confirmed that it is about 10,000 people." The spy replied.
"Explore again."
Liu Tongfu waved his hand and let the spies continue to inquire about the news.
Liu Tongfu said to the generals: "It seems that the barbarians want to take my Longfeng City in one go, and the 10,000 people are the advance army. Huh! The barbarians don't think much of us, thinking they sent 10,000 people Can people take my Longfeng City?"
"This city mainly allows these ten thousand barbarians to come and go."
The generals also had bright eyes. If the barbarians came with an army of 100,000 at one time, they would definitely not be able to defeat them, but if they came with 10,000, they would still have the confidence to defend the city.
...
Qingfengzong.
Old man Wu returned with Guihai Yidao and Liu Sheng Piaoxu to meet Qin Ye.
Seeing that the three of them had returned safely, Qin Ye also breathed a sigh of relief.
Hearing old man Wu talk about Qing Yunzong dispatching a grandmaster of the eighth level and a grandmaster of the seventh level, almost making Guihai Yidao and Liu Sheng Piaoxu unable to return, Qin Ye said that he was a bit careless.
The main reason is that Qin Ye underestimated Qingyunzong's strength. Who would have thought that Qingyunzong even sent Xiao Yun and other strong people to destroy Qingfengzong? The high-ranking grandmaster invited old grandmasters like Nanshan Tongzi out.
If it weren't for the old man Wu on his side, I'm afraid it might really fall this time.
This can't help but make Qin Ye lament that his subordinates are still not strong enough. If there are dozens of peak masters under him, they don't need to fight at the gate of Qingyun Zong Mountain. Qingyun Zong will kneel down and beg for mercy .
Qin Ye directly took out a bunch of healing pills, all of which were opened from the blind box before, and he didn't need it, so he stuffed them directly, and said, "Go down and heal your wounds first."
"Yes, son." The two went down with the healing elixir given by Qin Ye.
"Is there any stronger patriarch of Qingyun Sect?" Qin Ye asked suddenly.
Old man Wu didn't know why Qin Ye asked this question, but he still replied: "As far as I know, Qingyun Sect should not have a stronger ancestor."
However, Qin Ye didn't believe it. According to the routine, Qing Yunzong must have a more powerful ancestor, otherwise Xiao Yun would have easily left the sect and been exposed to the public's eyes so easily.
Qin Ye is 100% sure that there is definitely an ancestor stronger than Xiao Yun in this Qingyun sect.
