Anyi clenched her fingers as she looked at the panicked people, the cattle and sheep running around, and the constant cries of children.
Two years ago, she helped Xue An unify the Xiting Kingdom. She even regarded this place as her second home and the people here as her people. Now, they had just spent two years of peace before encountering this disaster. , how could she bear it?
Anyi quickly went to the city government office. If she remembered correctly, Bai Tianan was already the city government here.
In the town government office, Bai Tianan was also a little confused.
The three cities next door were captured by the Dongdu people who seemed to be descending from the sky. The people fled to his state capital one after another. He felt sorry for the people. On the one hand, he wanted to open the city gates to admit them, but he was also afraid that the Dongdu people's spies would be mixed in.
Now that the Western Emperor is missing, the eight tribes are in chaos, and each place has too much time to take care of itself. Baitianan can't see the hope of reinforcements, so he can only discuss with the generals who defended the city, and they must defend their city.
Anyi had the token given to her by Xue An in her hand. No one dared to stop her. Anyi passed it directly into the Yamen lobby.
Bai Tianan raised his head and saw An Yi. His expression was very excited. He stepped forward, lifted up his robe, and knelt in front of An Yi: "Empress Xi, you are finally back. Xiting Guoyou has been saved!"
An Yi stepped forward and helped him up: "Tell me about the situation. Also, are Prince Zhuang and Prince Feng in Xicheng now?"
Anyi came to Xiting Kingdom from the east, and the Dongdu people also started to attack the two countries from the border of Xiting Kingdom and Liuzhu Kingdom. All An Yi came to Xinguli first, before going to Xicheng.
"Prince Feng and Prince Zhuang have led six other troops to gather in Xicheng. They will arrive at Xinguli early tomorrow morning. Whether we can hold Xinguli tonight is the key!" Baitianan said.
An Yi then noticed that there was cold sweat on his forehead. It seemed that Baitian An was already very anxious before she came.
"How many defenders are there in Xingu Li?" An Yi asked, taking out the map of Xingu Li.
Baitianan pointed to the city gate: "There are only five thousand defenders. The troops that retreated from the three previous cities have also arrived in Xingu. The total number does not exceed eight thousand!"
An Yi frowned. This Xinguli was not an important place. If the Dongdu people had not opened a gap from the east, the defenders in Xinguli would not have thought that this place would become the last gateway to protect the West City.
Although Bai Tianan was just a liang leader before, he had very high leadership skills. Now facing the menacing Dongdu people, although he was nervous and scared, he still shouldered this heavy responsibility.
Anyi asked about the situation of the Dongdu people.
"The official asked some soldiers who retreated from the first three battlefields, but they said that they were defeated without even seeing the opponent's appearance!" Bai Tianan said in a low voice.
Anyi frowned: "What do you mean?"
Bai Tian'an couldn't explain clearly, so he immediately called for people to bring over the soldiers who had fled to Xingu from the three cities in front.
Anyi met five soldiers, one of whom was a sixth-grade captain named Ma Long. He was the only one who survived a head-on battle with the Dongdu people.
"Those people are really scary. They are covered in black, even their faces are covered, and only a pair of eyes are exposed. Their swords are very fast, and their swordsmanship is very strange. They appear and disappear. Our people haven't reacted yet. I have become their soul under the sword!" Ma Long is still trembling when he remembers the situation on the battlefield.
