Chapter 569 - 38: Qilin, Li Guanyi!_3
Li Guanyi rode his war horse, looking back.
The Qilin Army took to the battlefield, scattering in every direction thirty miles out.
......
East Crossing City. The main city gate.
The river passage had been blocked off, all city gates sealed tight, and heavy objects had been used once again to firmly barricade them; Murong Yuan stood behind the city wall in front of the gate, clad in iron armor, holding a sword, resting against the back of the arrow tower, asleep.
Above the city ramparts, there were arrows aplenty, as well as traces of the Mo School’s siege engines.
There were too many people.
After being surrounded, he led the disciples of the Murong Family within this city in a desperate rush to break out, but even though they were brave, they were still of no use against the great army, leaving behind many bodies.
These men aimed to occupy this place because East Crossing City was one of the world’s significant ferry points.
The narrow and small Jiangnan Eighteen States relied on this ferry port for half of their economic throughput; if taken, it would effectively lock the throat of the Jiangnan Eighteen States. The opposing general had a keen judgment, or rather, it was the most basic judgment for a commander.
