The east side of Hanlu City is much quieter than the south side of the city where the shouts are loud. The Xiao River outside the city still flows by, with a few naughty fish jumping up from time to time.
Suddenly, several black shadows passed over the clear river, followed by a large black mass, like a flock of big birds flying across the sky. The frightened fish dived towards the bottom of the water one after another, making splashes of water.
In the air, two thousand kites flew across the wide Xiaohe River and fell towards the head of Chaoyang Gate in the east of the city. Most of the defenders here have been sent to support Nancheng, and the sky above the city is empty, which naturally frees up a lot of space.
But even if there are few people, the defenders should still fight back. The strange thing is that these defenders, who were surrounded by thousands of households, watched helplessly as these people fell without any reaction.
The Yuan people landed on the city head one after another, quickly gathered their troops, and merged with the defenders.
In the distance, Ji Chen also noticed the situation here at first, and his expression changed drastically. Nowadays, the defense focus of the defenders is on the south and west of the city. Since the two northeastern parts are blocked by moats, they only sent a small number of troops. Unexpectedly, the opponent actually attracted attention with a strong attack from the south and sent people to sneak attack the east of the city.
He was about to draw some people to support him, but soon his face turned pale. The defenders did not resist, and the Yuan people easily occupied the city head.
Why didn't he understand at this time that the defenders in the east of the city had rebelled. On such a scorching battlefield, such a backstab can be fatal.
Some rebels rode towards the east of the city, each carrying a large gourd on their backs. When they reached the Xiao River, these people simply abandoned their horses and swam across the river holding the gourds.
Ji Chen's hands were trembling slightly. He originally thought that after killing the thousand men and horses brought by Ji Bi, there would be no internal response in the city, but he didn't expect that a thousand households of his own family would also be attracted by others. For a moment, he felt a little desperate.
"Husband, just watch here while I lead my men to recapture the Chaoyang Gate." Murong Yanyu, who was fighting, jumped over with a sword in hand. With a wave of his hand, he immediately led more than 500 soldiers to the east of the city, trying to capture the enemy. Drive down the city wall again.
Running on the city wall, a group of Yuanmen came face to face. When they saw a beautiful woman leading the group to kill them, they couldn't help showing contempt and surrounded them with a sinister smile.
Murong Yanyu twisted her figure and disappeared on the spot. In the sky, little blue lights appeared. On the ground, a string of blue frost appeared. Wherever the frost passed, Yuan Ren covered his neck in shock. Blue frost extended from his neck and gradually covered his body.
"Push forward with all your strength, don't stop." Someone shouted. If this woman's weird methods are hard to guard against, then don't guard against them. Is it possible that the soldiers behind her can also use this method. We have many people and have killed all the defenders. No matter how powerful a woman is, can she still kill these thousands of people?
The battle quickly started on the wall. These kites and the rebellious defenders combined, after all, far outnumbered their opponents. Soon, the people brought by Murong Yanyu retreated step by step. In the Xiao River below the city, those rebels holding gourds to swim across had already boarded the shore and were swarming in through the city's wide-open Chaoyang Gate.
Murong Yanyu appeared on a wall, her body swaying gently with the wind, and her chest was rising and falling slightly. Even though she had assassinated so many people with her own secret skills, killing was a tiring task after all, and she had to stop and rest for a while.
Looking at the rebels advancing southward, Murong Yanyu gritted her teeth and fired a sleeve arrow at the city. The arrow exploded in the air and a blue flower bloomed.
As the flowers appeared, in a shady alley in the west of the city, a salesman huddled in his house dropped the pole in his hand, took out a pair of armor from the basket, and rushed towards the east of the city.
In the city south of the city, a blacksmith who was repairing the armor of the defenders took off his leather pants, took out a sledgehammer from behind the stove, and rushed towards the east of the city.
One after another, Li Shu, who usually looked inconspicuous, was transformed into a warrior at this time, hurriedly walking through the streets and alleys, like arrows, shooting in the direction of the east city.
When nearly two thousand civilians arrived near Chaoyang Gate, they spontaneously formed small teams, marched along the city, and ran toward Murong Yanyu, who was leading the defenders to resist the rebels.
There was no military order. The direction of Murong Yanyu's blade was their enemy. For a time, the defenders who were originally in decline gradually regained some of the situation and blocked the way.
These rebels want to attack from the south. But Murong Yanyu's face was not at all relaxed, because there were more and more gourds in the river outside the city, and more rebels were crossing the river and rushing into the city along the city gate.
Ji Chen glanced at the east of the city and his expression moved slightly. Murong Yanyu was obviously following the support troops running out of the city, but he did not know the existence of such a force.
However, he could no longer think too much at this time. Ji Zhong and the other four were tightly entangled by their opponents. Their poor coordination could not be compared with their opponents' skillful fighting skills.
Wu Gen once said that these masters only know how to fight, but they don't know how to fight. Now it seems that they are still overrated. They are not even very good at fighting. The Ji family's comfortable life has turned them into tigers that have lost their fangs.
Strength is definitely more than just cultivation. The sense of danger, the grasp of fighter opportunities, and the use of the environment, any of which may determine the life or death of both sides in the battle. If Ji Zhong and others can practice a few more times on the battlefield, there may be a big improvement, but will their opponents give them this opportunity?
The showdown between masters is fast and brutal.
A whirlwind appeared in front of Hanlu City. Xian Yusan looked ferocious as he pulled out his hand from the back of a worshipper of the Ji family. The latter turned his head in disbelief and took a hard look behind him. Xian Yuchan swung out another punch, hitting the opponent's head. Blood mist flew everywhere, and the worshiper was already dead.
Ji Zhong and the remaining three were shocked when they saw this, so they had no choice but to fight and retreat towards the city.
At the same time, the three golden puppets in front of Hanlu City were slaughtering the defenders on top of the city and destroying the city wall wantonly because they had no strong opponent to restrain them. Although the Thousand Ox Crossbow could penetrate their bodies, it could not cause fatal damage.
If this continues, Hanlu City, which is said to be indestructible, will be breached by an opponent for the first time.
Ji Chen took a deep breath, surrounded by guards, turned around and ran towards the dark room. After entering the dark room, Ji Chen took out a dagger and walked to the jade table that glowed with clear light.
There are formations in Hanlu City, but every time the formation is activated, it is not that easy. Not only does it consume a lot of spiritual jade, but it cannot be used again within three days after being activated once.
But the battle situation in the city is almost out of control, and if it is not used, the city may be in danger of being destroyed today. Gritting his teeth, Ji Chen used a dagger to cut open the bowl of his left hand, and blood immediately poured out.
He stretched his wrist to the groove where the jade sword was placed, and blood flowed down. The groove doesn't look big, but it looks like a bottomless pit, and the blood flows into it and disappears.
Ji Chen frowned and looked at the jade platform. According to the clan's secret files, the formation could only be activated when the jade platform turned red, but now there was no change at all.
The wound on his wrist was cut wider, and blood shot out like an arrow. After a cup of tea, Ji Chen felt dizzy and his face became increasingly pale due to excessive blood loss.
Finally, the jade platform in front of him slowly turned red, the red became thicker and thicker, and the entire darkroom became scarlet. Four vague consciousnesses appeared in his mind, and Ji Chen felt that something was connected to him.
After struggling to pull back his arm, Ji Chen's body swayed and he fell to the ground with a plop. Losing so much blood all at once made his body weak to the extreme. The so-called candle in the wind was nothing more than this.
A doctor beside him quickly stepped forward and helped Ji Chen up.
"Quickly...give me a pill quickly. I can't pass out. There's still a war outside." Ji Chen said with difficulty, his face pale, as if he was using all his strength to speak every word.
The doctor hesitated for a moment and took out a blood-replenishing elixir, but he hesitated and refused to hand it over. Ji Chen cannot practice cultivation, and his body is extremely weak at this time. If he takes this great tonic, there is no doubt that his body will not be able to bear it.
"Hurry." Ji Chen's eyes widened. In desperation, the doctor had no choice but to stuff the elixir into his mouth and drink it with warm water.
Click, click, something seemed to be shattering on the four corner platforms of Hanlu City. But compared to the din of the battlefield, the sound sounded almost inaudible.
The stone skins on the four stone figures fell off one after another, and the bird droppings, moss, and rain stains that were originally attached to the stones were all dispersed by the wind. The four stone figures were brightly colored and lifelike.
The stone statue was exposed.
Following Ji Chen's loud shouting in the dark room, the stone statue opened its eyes. There was a red light in his eyes, and he glanced around with a deep gaze.
Hula la, an inexplicable strong wind suddenly rose up, surrounding the stone statue, and a majestic and majestic aura suddenly spread over the battlefield. The atmosphere is full of vicissitudes of life, and a solemn feeling fills everyone's hearts, especially those of high rank, who feel it more clearly.
"This is the formation." Ji Xian murmured with a very complicated expression.
The four stone statues looked around for a moment, then suddenly jumped up. Three of the stone statues rushed towards a golden puppet each, and one rushed towards Xian Yuchan, Leng Zuo and Shifa to support Ji Zhong and others who were already weak. .
At the same time, on all the city gates in the south and east of the city, the pegasus relief directly above the doorway, which had existed for countless years and had been ignored by the residents of the city, suddenly came to life. Pegasus jumped out one after another, and finally nine horses appeared at each city gate.
These horses were translucent, emitting crystal light all over their bodies, and their crisp cries echoed through the wild, walking through the army of thieves in front of them like fleeting shadows.
Wherever it passed, neither man nor horse could stop it, and they all fell to the ground and died. The bodies of these dead people or horses shrank rapidly, as if someone was sucking their flesh and blood, and in the end only mummies were left.
Pegasus hovered among the rebels, and the originally dense formation immediately became quite sparse. It's not that the rebels didn't want to fight back, but no matter how the sword fell on the horse, it was like cutting into the air, without any substance.
On the Xiao River, the originally calm water suddenly became violent. Waves several people high rose up on the river surface, rushing forward with an unstoppable momentum, viciously impacting the banks on both sides, and turned into a violent river in the blink of an eye.
The rebels who were swimming with gourds in their arms were pushed to the bottom of the water by the huge waves like duckweeds, leaving only gourds floating in the water.
In the open space in front of the south and west of the city, the ground squirmed, and strange-looking grasses with huge mouths on their stems and branches and leaves like saws came out. The grass quickly grew upwards and soon grew to a height of three to four feet. The branches and leaves kept waving, stabbing and cutting down those rebel soldiers who dared to get close. Once someone falls, the vines on the strange grass will tightly bind the injured soldiers and send them to the mouth on the grass stem to swallow them.
For a moment, with the raging waves and strange plants as the boundary, another city wall appeared outside Hanlu City, blocking the rebels from charging towards the city wall.
A stone statue pulled out the stone sword hanging from his waist, stepped in front of the golden puppet, and struck it down with one hand. The golden puppet stretched out his hands and firmly grasped the huge stone sword that was about to fall on him. The tiger's mouth opened, and hot flames covered the stone statue.
The bright lines on the stone statue began to fade, and the stone in some places began to soften, with droplets of water falling like red magma.
The body was damaged, but the stone statue was unmoved. He looked coldly at the golden puppet who was neither a human nor a tiger beneath him. His eyes suddenly glowed red, and the stone sword fell downwards little by little, gradually cutting off the golden puppet's hand. , chopped open the golden puppet's body and divided it into two halves.
When Xian Yuchan and others saw the stone statue coming towards them, they couldn't help but feel horrified. As people of the Five Realms, they can naturally feel the power of these stone statues. After fighting for several rounds, Xian Yuchan and the other three turned around and ran towards their own camp. It's just that Leng Zuo walked a little slower and was stopped by the stone statue that quickly caught up with him. With the cooperation of Ji Zhong and others, another whirlwind broke out in front of Hanlu City, and another person from the fifth realm died.
In the dark room, Murong Yanyu helped Ji Chen, who was already unsteady, and burst into tears, "Fool, we can't beat him and evacuate to the inner city, why should we risk our lives?"
"How is the situation in the east?" Ji Chen gently stroked his wife's face, his voice was very weak.
"I blocked it, but because there are so many people on the other side, I won't be able to take it down for a while."
"Just block it. Come on, help me go up to the city." Ji Chen struggled to get up.
Murong Yanyu thought about blocking him, but seeing the cold look in her husband's eyes, she had no choice but to lift him up and carry him to the top of the city.
On the city wall, the four stone statues had returned to the corner platform and closed their eyes again. After losing a high-level opponent, they will go dormant on their own.
All four golden puppets were damaged, but two were lying on the ground
On the city wall, he used his body to turn into two golden bridges.
"The formation will disappear in one day, and after that, we will have to fight to the death. Father, second brother, why don't you come back? It's been a long time, I'm afraid I won't be able to hold on." Ji Chen's hair has changed again There is more white color, which keeps flying with the fishy wind.
