At the beginning, I became a county magistrate with greed of 500 million. The empress asked me to be

At the same time, two thousand automated troops stopped shooting.

In the end, thousands of soldiers were seen approaching the city wall at a rapid speed like a tide.

After the siege ladders were set up, thousands of soldiers immediately launched a fearless charge!

The barbarian troops defending the city, who were already short of manpower, suddenly panicked after seeing the large-scale charge of thousands of soldiers.

Many of the barbarian soldiers even fled on the spot!

"Well done! Pass on my order again, and send out the entire army! We must occupy the entire Ji'an City in the shortest possible time!"

Outside the temporary central military tent, Xiao Yan looked at the troops climbing up the city wall, and an expression of great joy suddenly appeared on his face.

But at the same time, he also felt a little regretful.

If the automated troops had been sent to the battlefield earlier, it would probably not have taken more than thirty hours, and the casualties of the troops could have been further reduced!

As soon as Xiao Yan's order was issued, the hundreds of thousands of troops who had been gathering their strength for a long time immediately launched a tsunami-like charge towards the occupied city gate!

"Kill!"

"kill!"

Amidst the deafening roar, in just two hours, nearly 200,000 troops rushed into Ji'an City.

However, the barbarian troops previously controlled the city gates in the other three directions.

Therefore, when Xiao Yan's army rushed into Ji'an City, the main force of the barbarian troops almost all withdrew from the city from the north gate.

As for the barbarian troops who did not have time to withdraw from the city, their number was about 20,000.

Under the frenzied fighting of nearly 200,000 troops of Xiao Yan, the remaining 20,000 barbarian troops did not survive long.

As the sun sets in the west, after another bloody battle.

The originally bustling city of Ji'an quickly became quiet under the cover of night.

However, what happened in Ji'an City at this time was like the surface of the sea, with one wave after another!

"Your Majesty! We just found some strange clothes in the city. Please take a look!"

Zhang Huaiyi, a lieutenant general under Xiao Yan, brought several soldiers and carried a large pile of things to the lobby of the county government where Xiao Yan was.

After a fierce battle, the troops had vacated the lobby of the county government office in Ji'an City and used it as a temporary central military tent in the city.

Xiao Yan, who was writing the battle report himself, became interested when he heard Zhang Huaiyi's words.

However, when Xiao Yan walked to the center of the lobby and saw clearly under the light the items that several soldiers were carrying into the lobby, a look of surprise suddenly appeared on his face!

"Where did you find these armors?"

Xiao Yan frowned, and a very fascinating light flashed in his sharp pupils.

It was because what Zhang Huaiyi and others brought into the hall at this time was nothing else but sets of blue and white armor!

Judging from the shape of the armor, it is neither the uniform of the Daliang army, nor does it look like barbarian-style armor.

Others present may not be aware of this.

But Xiao Yan knew clearly that these blue and white armors originated from the Dune Dynasty in the north!

More than ten years ago, when the late emperor was still alive, the Shaqiu Dynasty sent a courtesy delegation to the Daliang Dynasty.

The armor and clothing worn by the guards of that delegation at that time were exactly the same as the blue and white armor they wear now!

"In reply to your Highness, these armors were just found by me and my men from the warehouse left behind by the barbarian army. There are obvious signs of use on the surface of the armors, and it looks like they were taken off not long ago."

Zhang Huaiyi hurriedly reported, with a look of great vigilance on his face.

"These armors are equipped by the Dune Kingdom troops."

At this time, Xiao Yan explained the origins of the blue and white armor.

As soon as these words were spoken, all the generals in the hall showed shock on their faces.

Although they already knew that the army was going to go to war with the Dune Kingdom, they had never imagined that the armor and clothing of the Dune Kingdom would appear in Ji'an City!

Doesn’t this mean that the troops of the Dune Kingdom have already arrived in the northeast!

"Pass on this king's order. Send out all the troops and quickly search the city for any suspicious persons! Do not let go of any clues!"

After a moment, Xiao Yan gave the order in a stern voice.

A bold and crazy guess already appeared in his mind.

When the army attacked Ji'an City before, the defending troops that appeared in the city were probably not just barbarian troops!

If his guess was correct, the troops of the Dune Kingdom had already appeared in Ji'an City!

It is precisely because of this that the barbarians as a whole show a strong will to defend the city!

But he didn't dare to confirm it yet.

You know, the appearance of the Dune Kingdom’s troops in the territory of the Daliang Dynasty is not a simple matter!

……

Time passed minute by minute, and Xiao Yan waited quietly in the lobby of the county government office.

He was not even interested in writing the battle report on the city he had just captured.

There is no point in writing a battle report before the search results come out.

When time slowly came to ten o'clock in the morning.

Xiao Yan, who already had a sleepy look on his face, began to waver in his deep and bold guesses in his mind not long ago.

"Perhaps the barbarian troops on the grassland received funding from the Dune Kingdom, or perhaps I am just too sensitive."

Looking at the flickering candlelight, Xiao Yan, who was sitting on the armchair, thought secretly in his heart.

However, just as this thought came to his mind, suddenly, an extremely noisy noise was heard outside the lobby.

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Huaiyi, wearing armor, walked into the lobby with an excited look on his face.

Following behind him was a large group of soldiers.

"Your Majesty! Mo Jiang found this guy in a warehouse in the city!"

When Zhang Huaiyi saw Xiao Yan, he even forgot the necessary etiquette and started speaking excitedly.

The soldiers following behind him made way for him at the same time.

In the center of the group of soldiers, two soldiers were escorting a burly man.

The man had long golden hair and a very long beard at the corners of his mouth. He did not look like a person from the Central Plains at all.

And there was a very obvious gunshot sound on the man's thigh!

The moment Xiao Yan saw this person, an extremely calm look suddenly appeared in his pair of dark eyes!

Things turned out just as he expected, the troops from the Dune Kingdom entered the country!

The blond and burly man in front of him was from the Dune Kingdom in the north!

The gunshot wound on this man's leg was obviously caused by a bullet from the automated troops when the army was attacking the city wall.

It was also because of this that this person was left in the warehouse to fend for himself, and did not follow the hastily fleeing barbarian army to evacuate Ji'an City!
