I have been a county magistrate for ten years. My subordinates insist on giving me a yellow robe.

The fire dragon watched the high priest leave with cold eyes and said nothing in the end.

Although totem worship has not been performed for many years, the influence of the priest clan still remains.

The other party couldn't do anything to Jiang Yuan because Jiang Yuan was equally mysterious.

If his fire dragon does not know when to advance or retreat, the high priest will definitely use him to establish his authority.

At this time, on the Taiping County city wall, everyone was staring at Jiang Yuan in amazement.

"Sir, are you sure? If we really open the city gate, the enemy's 3,000 cavalry can at least hold out for a while. I don't know how many people can rush in during this time."

"Once the city gates are lost, we will have to fight against hundreds of thousands of people. I'm afraid the city wall won't be able to hold out for long."

"Yes, sir, how can you really agree to this?"

Jiang Yuan waved his hand calmly: "What are you afraid of? Just wait and see how I operate it."

With just these words, everyone felt relieved again.

Fortunately, as long as Jiang Yuan is confident, it means that nothing serious will happen. For such a long time, Jiang Yuan has never made empty promises.

Whatever Jiang Yuan said, he didn't do that time.

For such a long time, Jiang Yuan has really never suffered any loss.

A moment later, under the city wall, Fenghuang and Bifang had selected three thousand strong men from the tribe according to the instructions of the high priest and gathered them at the city gate.

"Chief Jiang Yuan, we have made our selection. Please open the city gate!" the high priest shouted.

Jiang Yuan looked at the high priest calmly, not in a hurry.

"High Priest, of course you can open the city gates, but please, everyone except these three thousand people, retreat five miles!"

"If you can't even meet this requirement, then I can only say that you are not sincere."

The high priest seemed to have expected this. He laughed and waved to the army behind him.

In a flash, the earth shook and hundreds of thousands of cavalrymen turned their horses and ran away.

"It's so fucking spectacular. Even a million infantrymen can't stop such cavalry." Jiang Yuan sighed sincerely.

If the walls of Taiping County were not so high and strong, the few soldiers and horses he had now would not be enough to defeat these guys.

"Chief Jiang Yuan, can we open the city gate now?" the high priest spoke again.

"Of course no problem." Jiang Yuan said, turning around and walking towards the city wall.

"You guys watch here."

When Jiang Yuan leisurely walked to the city wall of Wengcheng, Ma Zhi was already waiting there.

"Ma Zhi, the city wall should be built exactly as I said, right?"

"Don't worry, sir. Everything will be built according to the blueprint you drew. It has all the mechanisms, secret passages, etc. I have already arranged the personnel. We will start immediately as soon as you give the order." Ma Zhi said confidently.

Jiang Yuan nodded slowly, then raised one hand and brought it down hard.

"Open the city gate!"

Soon, with the sound of mechanical movement, the city wall of Taiping County slowly opened, even though no one was seen taking action.

At this moment, in Jiang Yuan's eyes, the city wall of Taiping County seemed to have become transparent. Above the city wall, dozens of soldiers were struggling to turn the wheels in their hands, opening the city gate of Taiping County through the operation of gears.

The high priest turned around and looked at the three thousand cavalrymen behind him and waved his hand. In an instant, the sound of horse hooves rang out, and countless cavalrymen swarmed in and began to charge towards Taiping County.

But soon, the murderous intent in the eyes of these cavalrymen disappeared, because there was no one at the city gate. So, it seemed that they had easily occupied the city gate.

At this time, the few cavalrymen in the front looked at each other, walked past the city gate, and there was a target in their eyes again.

Behind the gate of Taiping County, there is another city wall, and that city wall also needs to be captured, otherwise how can the army behind get in?

But suddenly, a loud shout came from above their heads.

"Everyone follow orders!"

The cavalrymen in front pondered for a while, and finally decided to obey orders for the time being. After all, more than 10,000 people from their side would be able to come in eventually.

According to the high priest's original words, it would be best if they could directly capture the city gate.

But if that doesn't work, then we should follow Jiang Yuan's order and enter the city first. When night falls, more than 10,000 people will rush to a city gate and try to seize it.

"Those coming in from the front should go to the sides, and those coming in from the back should do the same."

The city wall of Taiping County was not small, but the 3,000 cavalrymen occupied a considerable area, and the city wall was almost completely filled to accommodate all the cavalrymen.

The barbarians at the front of the line stared at the city gate in front of them. As long as the city gate opened, they would rush straight in. As long as they could control these two city gates and open a passage for the thousands of troops behind them, it would be easy to control the city in front of them!

On the wall of Wengcheng, Jiang Yuan looked at the barbarians below, his tone tinged with sarcasm: "As expected, they are all guys who want to cause trouble."

"Ma Zhi, give the order to lower the second gate first, then close the city gate!"

"Yes, sir."

Ma Zhi quickly gave the order, and not long after, the barbarian cavalry in the city wall suddenly heard a loud noise. When they turned around, a heavy iron gate had closed all the city gates behind them, but the city gate in front of them had never been opened.

At this moment, they were like wild beasts trapped in a cage, which made everyone gradually feel uneasy.

"Report! Sir, the west gate has been closed!"

"Report! Sir, the north gate has been closed!"

"Report! Sir..."

In the blink of an eye, people from the four city gates came to report the news.

Jiang Yuan nodded slightly: "Very good, tell these guys in Wengcheng that since there are quite a few of them, we need to make room for them, so let them wait in peace."

"Oh, right, don't we have a lift? Bring it over here and let's get the horses and other things up first."

After saying that, Jiang Yuan turned around and walked towards the Taiping County city wall.

"Humph! With just these few tricks, you still want to trick me? Do you really think I'm so easy to fool and kidnap?"

"Three thousand for each city gate, twelve thousand in total. I'll gladly accept all these people!"

Jiang Yuan had a smile on his face. "These cavalrymen, if locked up in the city wall for three or four days, will surely be dizzy and starving. I want to see what you can do then."

When Jiang Yuan climbed up the city wall and looked at the high priest again, his eyes were already filled with smiles.

What a good man! He is simply a top-notch good man!

More than 10,000 cavalrymen were mobilized at once, a top-notch move!

Even Duanmu Yuanchen and Ning Fei did not dare to casually attack with more than 10,000 cavalrymen, not to mention that these more than 10,000 cavalrymen were definitely the most elite group of the barbarians.

There is no bigger undertaking in the world than this.

"High Priest, the people have already entered the city. Do you have anything else to say?"

The high priest looked at the closed city gate, turned and left without saying a word.

I guess Jiang Yuan is on guard now, so it will be difficult for the people sent in to fight for the city gate.

That’s fine, let’s wait until late at night. Can’t tens of thousands of the strongest men carefully selected from the barbarian warriors capture a city gate?

As long as the city gate is opened, hundreds of thousands of barbarian cavalry will rush forward. Even if Jiang Yuan has the ability of Xuanwu, he will not be able to turn the tide.

Three miles away, countless barbarian cavalry were ready to go. With just one order, they would rush directly to the city gate.

Fenghuang and Bifang remembered to keep spinning in the same place, because whether they could get in or not would determine the survival of the tribe.

But when the two saw the high priest slowly approaching, the expressions on their faces were a little lost.

"High Priest, did it fail?" Phoenix asked impatiently.

"Well, I guess Jiang Yuan is a little cautious, but it doesn't matter. After all, these people have just entered the city, so it's normal for Jiang Yuan to be cautious." The high priest said lightly.

"Then what should we do now?" Bifang asked hurriedly.

The high priest raised his cane calmly and said, "Why rush? Let's find a good place to set up camp."

As soon as the high priest finished speaking, there was a sudden earth-shaking sound in the distance.

"Huh? This is Xuanwu's flag. Why did he bring people here? Could it be that he has captured that small town?" Phoenix said excitedly.

Although they failed to capture Taiping County, it was understandable. Who would have thought that a small border town could have such high walls.

But they are all small border towns, so it is impossible that the other two towns are the same.

The high priest smiled and said, "It's very likely that the city we encountered was a complete accident. The other two cities couldn't be the same. It's not surprising that Xuanwu and his team succeeded."

"Haha! Xuanwu, you should have succeeded now, right?" Phoenix shouted into the distance.

Not long after, Xuanwu and his two companions appeared in front of them with gloomy faces.

The high priest's face suddenly darkened. If it really succeeded, Xuanwu should not have this expression.

"Xuanwu, did you fail on your side as well?"

Xuanwu was stunned for a moment, then looked at them in disbelief: "So? So you didn't succeed either?"

Fenghuang shook her head bitterly: "No, you absolutely don't know whose place Taiping County belongs to. Do you still remember Jiang Yuan?"

"Jiang Yuan?" Xuanwu exclaimed in surprise, then nodded as if suddenly realizing something. "Now I remember. You mean the Shenlong Tribe that appeared a few years ago?"

"That's right, Taiping County is Jiang Yuan's base camp, and the city is so tall and big that we have no way to attack it."

"But fortunately, the high priest is resourceful and has found a solution. Now we just have to wait. Xuanwu, what's the situation over there?"

Xuanwu's originally dark expression darkened even more: "I, we are not even close to that Tai'an County."

"What do you mean? Could it be that Tai'an County has disappeared?" asked the high priest in confusion.

Xuanwu let out a long breath: "Stop talking, the city is still there, and it looks very easy to fight. There are no two people on the city wall."

"Then why did you come back?" The high priest became more and more confused. It was easy to fight without anyone around. How could he find the reason for his failure?

When talking about this, Xuanwu stamped his feet twice: "Damn it! These people in Tai'an County are completely devoid of morals!"

"All kinds of feces and garbage were thrown into the moat. Such a good moat was ruined like this. The stench was unbearable even from two miles away!"

"How to fight!"

Just as Xuanwu was complaining, the sound of horse hooves came again in the distance.

Fenghuang and his companions were all dumbfounded. What was going on? The nine major barbarian tribes joined forces to attack three border towns, but they failed and Xuanwu also failed.

Now Tongtian and the others have also returned. Could it be that they also failed?
