The second arrow flew straight at Yan Yi, he was already prepared, the sword blade facing the arrow, but was also forced a step back by the lightning force of the arrow, only then did he manage to block the arrow.
His wrist was numb from the shock, and the respect for Xie Qingrong in his heart grew deeper.
Xie Qingrong had already expected this outcome, so she didn't mind. With just a slight glance, she lost interest in Yan Yi and shot arrow after arrow at the Army of Chu beside Yan Yi.
A single arrow would be able to take away a young life of a Army of Chu.
"Crown Princess." Jiang Yizhou gasped for breath, "General Lin had this official come over to tell you, we have all fallen into his trap!"
Xie Qingrong's expression darkened, the hand holding onto the bow and arrow became tighter and tighter.
It was no wonder that their goal was not the West Side Tower but the main city gate tower.
"Lord Jiang, immediately send a thousand of West Side Tower's elite soldiers to the main tower to assist General Lin An. "Be careful, you cannot destroy the Jiang Prefecture!" Xie Qingrong quickly ordered, Jiang Yizhou immediately obeyed and transferred the thousand elite soldiers away.
Before leaving, he took a look at Xie Qingrong who was standing straight with her back straight and facing the wind, without moving an inch. She secretly clenched her teeth, and fiercely suppressed the uneasiness in her heart.
He left without looking back.
The moat was covered in flames, reflecting the red half of the sky, Xie Qingrong's extremely beautiful yet ice-cold face, and the light of her blade and sword on the city gate tower.
Waves after waves of Army of Chu climbed up the stairs. The guards were stunned for a moment before their necks were cut off by the Army of Chu, causing blood to spurt out like a fountain.
Xie Qingrong immediately went up and used the violet-gold whip to throw the Army of Chu onto the stairs and down the city gate tower.
However, when one's physical strength was insufficient …
The sky gradually brightened as the sounds of fighting from the top of the city gate tower continued to ring out. The eerie saber lights continued to flash in front of their eyes.
Xie Qingrong stood at the edge of the city gate tower, cold wind breezed past, and blew against her hair. Her slightly swaying hair seemed to cause the tranquil surface of the lake in one's heart to slightly furrow.
She looked down at the moat from above. The thin layer of oil on the river had been burned away, and the remaining flames were only a death-struggle. They quickly disappeared over the surface of the water.
And the four thousand elite Army of Chu s who were forced to stop in their tracks before, began to cross the river.
Once he succeeded in crossing the river, it would be hard for him to resist the thousand garrison soldier s.
Shen Haoxuan brought the two secret guards under Xuanyuan Chen, along with the fifty elite guards that profound mechanism had hastily deployed, and sped towards the Jiang Prefecture.
Shen Haoxuan continuously whipped his horse's buttocks, the reins in his hands tightened, and the unease and worry in his heart grew thicker. He was afraid that if he was a little negligent on the road, he would miss the chance to help Xie Qingrong.
He wished that he could be faster, a bit faster!
It was so fast that it would rush to Xie Qingrong's side in the next second.
The White Tiger that went to explore the road returned to Shen Haoxuan's side on its horse, its face looking somewhat anxious and gloomy: "Young Master Shen, this trip to Jiang Prefecture will take around half a day. If I rush to the Jiang Prefecture with all my strength, I'm afraid these horses will …"
The situation in Jiang Prefecture was urgent, so how could the horses' lives be cared for? Without waiting for the White Tiger to finish speaking, Shen Haoxuan immediately interrupted: "How's the situation in Jiang Prefecture?"
The White Tiger shook its head and said, "The situation is not looking good. The north and south city towers in Jiang Prefecture didn't seem to be disturbed. However, the West Side Tower and the main city gate tower might not have much luck."
He didn't know what was going on in Jiang Prefecture. No one had sent any news to the stronghold. Other than a few days ago when some news had spread out, not even a tiny signal had been sent out.
Most likely, at this moment, the Jiang Prefecture no longer cared about passing the message. If it was affected to this extent, perhaps …
"How are the forces of the West Side Tower and the main city tower arranged?" Shen Haoxuan hurriedly asked.
The White Tiger replied, "I don't know."
Hearing this, Shen Haoxuan was even more uncertain. He could only pray that the Crown Princess and the Jiang Prefecture didn't have any problems, otherwise, no one could bear the consequences!
"I must reach Jiang Prefecture within half a day!" Shen Haoxuan immediately ordered, he fiercely whipped the horse's back, causing the horse to immediately gallop forward in pain.
The group of people did not dare delay on the road at all, and finally arrived at Jiang Zhou City half a day later.
Shen Haoxuan and his group discovered the Army of Chu s who were climbing up the grass from afar. There was even an arrow aimed at Xie Qingrong from below the city gate tower, while Xie Qingrong had her back facing the archer, it was unknown what she was doing.
Shen Haoxuan's heart did not feel good, he used all of his strength to throw the fan in his hand straight at Xie Qingrong's back, and the arrow had already left the bowstring.
Xie Qingrong seemed to have detected the danger and hherbrows slightly moved. Before she could even turn around, the violet-gold whip in his hand had already wrapped around her back, when she suddenly realized that there was another extremely strong gust of wind behind him.
At the critical moment, the folding fan just happened to block the bow and arrow. The two forces competed and in the end, the bow and arrow were defeated. The strength accumulated on the folding fan's body also gradually dissipated.
But in the next moment, the fan was held in Xie Qingrong's hand. Xie Qingrong looked at the familiar fan in her hand, and revealed a sincere smile for the first time in days.
At this moment, she was standing on a battlefield filled with flashing blades and shadows. The slight curve on the corner of her mouth was a sign of her rare good mood.
From the looks of it, Shen Haoxuan was here.
Turning around, he roughly predicted the direction in which the fan would fly over. Looking into the distance, he saw a familiar figure, imitating Shen Haoxuan's movements. He opened up the tasseled fan in his hand and lightly waved the fan.
He did not care about the cold weather.
Seeing that Xie Qingrong was safe and sound, Shen Haoxuan heaved a sigh of relief. Seeing Xie Qingrong's manner of lightly waving her fan, she shook her head helplessly.
He instructed the Azure Dragon and White Tiger, "Green Dragon White Tiger, bring the forty of you to the main tower to help General Lin An. The other ten will come with me. "
The White Tiger pursed its lips and asked hesitantly, "What about the Crown Princess?" They were ordered by Xuanyuan Chen to protect the princess consort.
"The Crown Princess has a thousand elites. That is enough. The General Lin may not be able to hold against the forty thousand Army of Chu, you guys can sneak attack the forty thousand Army of Chu from the back first, we can count the time you guys have left. Once I reunite with the princess consort and kill all five thousand of the Army of Chu here, I will reunite with you all on the main tower. " Shen Haoxuan analyzed and advised.
Although the White Tiger was in a difficult situation, after seeing Shen Haoxuan's serious face, it thought for a bit and agreed.
With Shen Haoxuan here, the chances of winning against the Crown Princess shouldn't be too low.
The two teams immediately split up.
Shen Haoxuan brought ten dark guards, who were highly sought after among the profound mechanism s, and slowly approached the five thousand elite Army of Chu s led by Yan Yi.
Behind them, the hidden guards silently reaped the lives of these Army of Chu s with their killing methods.
Although these Army of Chu were all developed by Gongsun Heng with great care, they were still not comparable to the profound mechanism's secret guards that could go from one to ten or even fifty.
