Just as Xiao Minglou expected, after hearing the news that Canghe County was about to retreat to the west of the city, Xueyan quickened his pace of attack. The siege weapon he brought was forcibly requisitioned before it could be fully assembled. It was declared scrapped.

The craftsmen brought here were also so tired that they almost vomited blood. They felled wood day and night, polished and assembled it.

Even so, Xueyan never ordered them to rest, as if to squeeze out the last drop of value from them.

The craftsmen dared not speak out, because fighting wars is not what the common people wanted in the first place, and they wanted to help the tyrants and harm the Chinese compatriots, and the demon army did not treat them as human beings.

He simply put his mind to one side and moved his hands and feet on the siege engine.

Originally, under Xiao Minglou's feigned defeat, there should not have been a large number of casualties. The Heavenly Demon Army either fell off the ladder or was smashed to death by hitting a wall.In the eyes of the generals in the rear, such casualties seemed to be a fierce and dangerous battle, which was enough to show that Canghe County's defense force was weak, but it was able to hold out stubbornly, and its credibility increased a little.

By the time Ming Jin withdrew his troops, the Blood Flame Army had already broken through the first line of defense at the top of the city, moved the camp outside the inner city gate, and firmly held several gates of the inner city.

Xueyan stood at the top of the city, looking at the row upon row of houses in the inner city, with bloodthirsty excitement on his face: "Canghe County is already in our pocket, rest for the night, and attack again tomorrow, we must bloodbath Canghe County, Kill the Xiao family army!"

The Northern Expedition Army led by Xiao Minglou was also called the "Xiao Family Army" by some people, because most of the Hua Dynasty's army was weak except for the army he led, but he was like a myth born out of nowhere. An old, weak, sick and disabled team was handed over to him, but turned into a strong army that everyone in the north feared.

As fame gradually grows in the Void Realm, it also makes more and more people fearful.

"Kill all the Xiao family's army!" The generals who followed Xueyan also laughed contemptuously.

"It's said that the rumors are unbelievable. That Xiao Minglou was defeated by us. What kind of God of War is just bragging! Within three to five days, the west of the city will be captured by us, and the subordinates will definitely take it for the general. This person's head!" One said.

Another person said: "It's a pity to just kill him like this. I heard that General Xiao was born as handsome as a banished fairy. Why don't you capture him alive and play with him?"

This proposal was immediately echoed by many people. Before the battle was won, lewd and obscene matters were discussed. It can be seen that there is a nest of snakes and rats. Those who can join the Heavenly Demon Army, even if they are not demon cultivators, are also evil people full of evil.

He Cheng followed quietly behind, his hands and feet felt cold when he heard it.

These people are not aware of Xiao Minglou's schemes, and they still want to treat others like this and that, I'm afraid they won't know why their hands and feet will be gone...

Xiao Minglou grasped Xueyan's eagerness for quick success, and deliberately retreated while fighting, so that the bloody flame army could relax its vigilance, thinking that he was powerless to support it, which made the bloody flame army even more inflated, before making sufficient preparations to attack the city. To attack by force is tantamount to seeking death.

But they still feel good about themselves, and they don't notice it at all.

He Cheng clenched his fists, and Yu Qingyan and the others quietly retreated to the top of the city, taking an opportunity to sneak out of the Blood Flame Army camp.

When Xueyan heard the report from his subordinates, he didn't take it seriously. He waved his hand and said, "If you run away, you will run away. It won't be a big deal. If you find out, just kill him. You don't have to report to me again."

That night, Xueyan was dreaming of returning from victory in the big tent and being accepted as a personal disciple by the magician, but before he woke up, there was a faint thunder in the sky, followed by bursts of thunder like earthquakes.

When the time came, the sky was still not bright, and there was no one in the Heavenly Demon Army who could observe the stars at night. Naturally, it was impossible to foresee the dark clouds covering the environment. When the thunder grew louder, it was too late to react.

The heavy rain poured down, catching all the Heavenly Demon Army by surprise.

On the other hand, in Canghe County, everything was arranged in an orderly manner, from pretending to be defeated and evacuating to avoiding the rain in advance. Xiao Minglou went to the Yongqiao to check the repair situation. on the waist.

"It's raining and the road is slippery, be careful." Qi Chang said.

"It's okay, this little rain is nothing." Xiao Minglou turned his head and smiled at him.

There is a blurry rain curtain behind, as if separating the inside of the umbrella and the outside of the umbrella into two worlds, except for the voice of the person in front of you, no other sound can be heard, and no one else can see it except for the person in front of you.

In addition to the strong water vapor at the nose, there is also a faint herbal fragrance from the person in front of me, which is fresh and pleasant.

Xiao Minglou's words continued to be heard in Qi Chang's ear: "You forgot how long I stayed in Yucheng. It rained every day, and I'm used to it... Ah Chou!"

Qi Chang was distracted, and accidentally stepped on a moss-covered stone, almost slipping and falling.However, even in such an urgent situation, he put Xiao Minglou first, the umbrella in his hand did not move at all, and he took a big step forward with the other foot, firmly protecting Xiao Minglou in his arms middle.

Xiao Minglou: "..."

The muddy water splashed on the hem of their clothes, Qi Chang looked down at Xiao Minglou: "Sorry, Young Master, I didn't stand firm."

Xiao Minglou's waist was hugged tightly, and his chest was also pressed together with the other party. The distance was so close that he could feel Qi Chang's body temperature and heartbeat through the material of the clothes.

Xiao Minglou's heartbeat was also inexplicably fast, his gaze moved away from Qi Chang's tender-eyed face with difficulty, and his hands unconsciously rested on his chest: "...Well, it's okay."

The surroundings seemed to be frozen, Xiao Minglou waited with bated breath, just when he thought Qi Chang was about to lower his head to kiss him, he suddenly heard him ask: "Before I entered the cultivation world, I also heard the legend of Yucheng. The great power fights, and the remaining energy lasts for a long time, so it will rain all day long. Thinking about it now, the great power should be you?"

Xiao Minglou was suddenly choked by this question and coughed several times.

Qi Chang patted him on the back considerately: "There's no rush, it doesn't matter if Young Master doesn't say anything."

"Actually, there's nothing to hide. Yes, it's raining in Yucheng because of me." Xiao Minglou scratched his cheeks, and if he looked carefully, his cheeks seemed to be a little red, "But it's not because of fighting skills, but because of the cloth." The formation can hide my spiritual power, so people from Qingyun Sect can't find it."

"No wonder, you know where Zhao Jiuniang and Lan'er went in the city that day." Qi Chang said meaningfully.

Xiao Minglou hurriedly waved his hands at him: "I'm just worried about their safety, I have absolutely no dirty intentions, you have to trust me, Chou!"

"Naturally." The corners of Qi Chang's mouth curled up a little, and he leaned over to kiss his lips unexpectedly, and said, "No matter what the young master says, I will believe it."

Xiao Minglou knew he was wrong, so he wrapped his arms around Qi Chang's neck, and took the initiative to deepen the kiss.

It happened that the rain curtain blurred the figures of the two, and no one could see what they were doing under the umbrella.

It rained heavily for three consecutive days, and the Blood Flame Army stationed in the east of the city suffered.Because the terrain in the east of the city is low, the rain will accumulate from west to east. In addition, Canghe County and the imperial army strengthened the defense before, and even the drains were blocked. Now it is like water flooding Jinshan, and the tents are all flooded. Said that even the cut wood was moldy.

The siege engine cannot be assembled for a while.

The bloody flames didn't hit one place, so they simply kept on doing nothing, and when the rain became smaller, they immediately launched a strong attack again: "It rained for three days in a row, not only the east of the city was flooded, but the west of the city was definitely not much better. What's more, their city walls are newly built, in front of the army of demons, they are like gnats shaking a tree, all the soldiers obey the order, and attack with this general!"

In this way, the captured artisans got a respite. More than a dozen skilled craftsmen secretly packed their bags, took advantage of the half-day of the demon army to leave the camp, bravely knocked down the guarding Gu people, and ran wildly into the forest .

By the side of the agreed mountain stream, Yu Qingyan and others came to wait early, and a dozen craftsmen were relieved when they saw that the supporters had arrived as promised.

"It's not too late, take us to the river!" After leaving the Tianmo army camp far away, the craftsmen rolled up their sleeves one after another, and couldn't wait to serve the new master.

Yu Laosan twitched the corner of his mouth: "Don't worry, there will definitely be room for you to use your skills."

The defense in the west of the city was even more vulnerable than in the east of the city. The first battle after the rain lasted only one day and one night. At dawn, all the imperial troops withdrew, and behind them was the swollen demon army that was chasing after them.

Xueyan rode a tall horse to the forefront. Although he wondered why the people were not in the city, no matter where they went, they would always be found. Canghe County is surrounded by mountains. If you have two legs, where else can you run?

Simply don't think about these, but focus on the "defeated army" in front of you.

As long as Xiao Minglou is captured and offered to the magician, the magician will be very happy.

Seeing that Xiao's army ran farther and farther west, and the field became more and more open, it was more beneficial for the cavalry to move from street fighting to the wilderness. A thunderous bang!

At first, I thought it was going to rain again, but the Heavenly Demon Army looked up at the sky, but there was no dark cloud. After listening carefully, it was not thunder at all, but the sound of rolling water waves!

Horses sensed the crisis faster than humans, and immediately began to run wild. The thoughtless Gu people were thrown off the horses and trampled to death, but the generals who were like blood flames were not much better. War horses are not easy.

And just as this man saw the horse, Xiao Minglou and others who had stored the flood in the upper reaches of the Cang River ordered to open the gates. With the sound of blasting, the rolling flood water poured down like a galloping wild horse, and the momentum could almost break the stones, not to mention Bear the brunt of the cavalry!

There was no trace of blood on Xueyan's face. At the moment when the flood flooded his head, there were only two words in his mind——

Finished!

Xiao Minglou and Qi Chang stood at a high place upstream, looking intently at the Heavenly Demon Army who had been rushed to pieces.

The silver battle robe and black battle armor glowed under the scorching sun, like an indestructible sharp blade, capable of tearing apart the enemy with ease.

When the war opportunity approached, Xiao Minglou raised his sword and shouted: "Soldiers of my generation, we should wear strong and sharp, shrouded in horse leather! Protect the common people!"

"Yes!"

The bottom echoes in unison, the momentum is regrettable!

Seeing this shocking and sacred scene, the people in the distance knelt down and folded their hands together, respectfully and lowly shouting: "God descends! Our army will surely win!"

Seeing Duan Youxue standing side by side among the common people, he let out a shallow breath.

Some things should really be let go.
