Outside Binan City, at dawn.
The horses' hooves rumbled, and the Mobei Iron Cavalry arrived one after another, but they were not in a hurry to attack.
In front of the Mobei army, a large number of prisoners were driven up, and the number was staggering.
Behind the Mobei army, new catapults were quickly assembled. The behemoth, which was several feet tall, looked frightening.
Binan City, as a city slightly smaller than Shadu City, has more than 10,000 defenders inside, but they are not elite.
On the city tower, the soldiers guarding the city looked at the black Mobei cavalry in front of them, with unspeakable shock and despair in their hearts.
Before this, everyone thought that the Mobei West Road army's attack target was Shadu City. Unexpectedly, this was just a strategy of the Mobei West Road army to paralyze Binan City.
Feinting a shot and then changing the target of attack has never been a problem for the Mobei Iron Cavalry, which marches extremely fast in short distances.
The distance between Binan City and Shadu City made it even more convenient for the attack plan of the Mobei West Road Army.
At noon, Lord Bai Di led the main force of the Mobei West Road Army and arrived. All 60,000 cavalry finally came to the city.
In front of the army, Li Ziye glanced around, but still did not see Tantai Jingyue's figure. He seemed to have realized something, and his face became heavier.
"Boy, I know you are powerful, but I advise you not to act rashly."
On the side, Lord Bai Di stared at Binan City in front of him and said calmly, "You alone cannot change the trend of a war. If you lose your life, the gain will not be worth the loss. Your battlefield is not here."
On the war horse, Li Ziye remained silent and did not respond.
However.
At this moment, before the army began to attack the city, the soldiers guarding the city began to panic.
Because the soldiers received news that the city's supreme commander, Binan Hou, was assassinated in his mansion last night.
Not only was Marquis Binan dead, but several guards were also killed last night.
Originally, the remaining generals in the city wanted to conceal the news to prevent panic. However, the news could not cover the fire, and the news of the death of the generals quickly spread.
"Siege the city!"
In front of the army, Lord Bai Di saw that the time had come and no longer hesitated. He gave an order and ordered the soldiers to start attacking.
Then, thousands and thousands of prisoners were rushed to the front to serve as living targets.
The soldiers of Mobei hid behind the prisoners and tried the first wave of attack.
On the city tower, the soldiers guarding the city saw the unarmed merchants and common people below being pushed to the front as targets. They were angry and had to start to fight back.
Suddenly, screams rang out, echoing under Binan City.
Arrows fell in waves, and many of the prisoners pushed to the front fell down, blocking most of the damage to the Mobei soldiers behind them.
The soldiers guarding the city knew the purpose of the Mobei army, but they had no choice but to stop it with all their strength.
"ah!"
Just when all the soldiers were focusing their attention on the attack of the Mobei army, screams suddenly came from the city, shocking people's hearts.
Five figures, headed by Tantai Jingyue, quickly headed towards the city gate.
The five great cultivators of the Five Realms pushed forward with powerful force, trying to tear a hole in the defenders.
In the city, after a brief panic, the defenders immediately reacted and formed a square formation. All arms cooperated and rain of arrows poured out.
Even though Marquis Binan and many defenders were lost, the military quality of the regular army was still not comparable to that of ordinary stragglers. Waves of arrows shot at the five people in front. Then, heavy shield soldiers and spear soldiers lined up in sequence. The methodical attack and defense force immediately blocked the forward speed of the five people.
The contest between the regular army and the great cultivators of the Five Realms has always been a topic of endless debate. Everyone has their own opinions on who is stronger and which is weaker. However, the facts have shown time and time again that when the great practitioners of the Five Realms face the regular army, Absolutely no bargains.
No matter how strong the Qi is, it has a limit to what it can withstand and a gap to breathe. However, the continuous offensive of the regular army can take away the life of a great cultivator of the Five Realms with just one opportunity.
"Bah!"
Sure enough, under the continuous rain of arrows, behind the mirror moon in Tantai, a fifth-level practitioner with a weaker cultivation level suffered from a short-term lack of energy recovery after enduring waves of arrow rain attacks. In such a situation, an arrow shot directly through his chest.
At the front, Tantai Jingyue saw this, his expression darkened, he immediately activated the six longevity monuments to block most of the arrow rain, and rushed into the defenders' square formation.
The next moment, shrill screams sounded again. Under Taichu's sword, one by one the defenders were placed in a pool of blood, without even a chance to fight back.
In the head-on collision between the city defenders and the great martial arts practitioners, both sides began to suffer casualties, and no one got an advantage.
However, this situation is enough for the eight tribes of Mobei.
At this moment, in front of the Mobei army, a huge siege vehicle was pushed out. The covered war giant blocked the sky from the rain of arrows. Pushed by the Mobei soldiers, it crashed into the city gate.
At the same time, in the Mobei army, catapults threw huge boulders and smashed them against the city wall in front.
A huge impact sounded, and the city wall, which was already in disrepair, was quickly smashed into huge gaps one after another, which was shocking.
In front of the army, Lord Bai Di saw this situation and smiled coldly.
The merchants were wealthy, so they probably had no shortage of money to strengthen the city walls. I really don’t know where all the money went.
Is it because there has been peace for too long that some people put the money for repairing the city wall into their own pockets without any psychological burden?
On the city tower, the soldiers guarding the city did not expect that the city wall would be destroyed so quickly. For a moment, their minds fluctuated violently.
"Boy, have you seen it? This is the city you are proud of."
Lord Bai Di sneered, "If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would have thought that this was an earthen wall built by some farmer!"
On the side, Li Ziye's eyes became colder and colder, and the chill in his eyes could not be suppressed.
A corrupt official will be buried with the lives of countless soldiers. No wonder the Mobei army is advancing so fast these days.
Unless you see it with your own eyes, you really don’t know how corrupt the merchants have become.
"What a pity. If we had known that your city was so vulnerable, I, the Eight Divisions of Mobei, should have gone straight to Huanglong and attacked your capital directly."
Lord Bai Di said with an indifferent expression, "By the way, who is the official responsible for repairing the city wall in Dashang Capital City? Is he greedy enough? Anyway, no one has been able to invade Dashang territory for so many years. Just fool around with the repair of the city wall. How nice it is to have money in your own pocket."
Having said this, Lord Bai Di paused, his face turned cold, and continued, "You have seen everything that needs to be seen, so you'd better not wade into this muddy water. Nanling is your battlefield." , after this battle, you can leave, I am in the Central Plains, waiting for your triumphant return!"
