3 hours ago.
That is to say, when Liu Hanyang's team was conducting a large-scale survey of the gravity environment facilities of the city's ruins, the transport aircraft that Rhodes and Leidy were riding landed in the slave army camp that besieged Jiye City.
When the transport aircraft landed, the high priest who was worshiping at the top of the six-sided tower and the emperor Busozzi who was commanding the battle on the wall of Jiye City were greatly surprised. They never expected that the "god" they worshiped devoutly would actually abandon it. Regardless, they landed in the rebel camp.
Although there was no sign that the "gods" would assist the rebels in attacking Jiye City, their landing made the panic-stricken Jiye City even more chaotic and isolated.
Now Jiye City has become an isolated island. After the surging slave resistance armies from all over the country successively conquered the major cities of the empire, it has become the last symbol and fortress of the empire, and has also become the last stronghold of the empire's rulers.
Once it is captured by Lot's army, the glory of the empire will completely fall into endless darkness with the sunset on the horizon, and all the glory will be forever submerged in the long river of history.
Their lives and wealth will also be devoured by slaves.
Despite being under heavy siege, the rulers of the empire did not give up hope of recovery. The high priest still summoned the "gods" on the six-sided tower day and night, day after day, begging them to save the precarious people. Jiye City in the middle of nowhere to save the empire in danger.
Emperor Busoz, who was commanding the operations on the city wall, did not give up his last efforts. On the one hand, he coordinated with the generals to deploy the defense system, and on the other hand, he sent his cronies out of the city in secret disguises to seek support from garrisons everywhere.
But to Bousoz's great disappointment, the garrisons in various places had been besieged by the slave resistance legions undulating against each other. The few Qinwang troops were also brutally destroyed while advancing towards Jiye City.
Jiye City has fallen into a dangerous situation of being isolated and helpless. The morale of the defenders in the city is low and their morale is disorganized. They not only lack arrow clusters and offensive weapons such as long-range catapults, but also lack water and food.
After several days of siege, the last granary in Jiye City has bottomed out. The water wells in the city have also been blocked due to interference and attacks by Lot's air troops. The soldiers can only satisfy their hunger by slaughtering horses and livestock. The only source of water is It’s just the rainwater stored when it rains, but it’s all limited and will all be used up in a few days.
The whole city is filled with an aura of decline...
In fact, after Liu Hanyang and others forced Luo De to leave the slave army, although they temporarily stopped attacking Jiye City on the surface, they did not give up their destruction and infiltration of the city.
According to Lot's deployment, in addition to cutting off water and food supplies, the slave army would organize small groups of troops from time to time to harass and invade. This also caused Jiye City to be often highly tense and put pressure on them for a long time to a certain extent. The mental state of the defenders was on the verge of collapse.
This was not the most fatal thing. The biggest blow to the defenders of Jiye City was that Luo De implemented a strategy of fortifying the city and clearing out the wilderness in a 50-kilometer radius of the city. A large number of houses and fertile fields in the surrounding area were destroyed, and not even a water source was left. This directly cut off the possibility for the defenders to obtain any supplies from the surrounding area.
Another point also caused the city defenders to fall into deep despair. The strategy of strengthening the walls and clearing the fields left Jiye City with no houses to hide in within a 50-kilometer radius. Even if they successfully broke out from Jiye City, they would be killed immediately. If exposed, the patrols wandering around will launch a fatal blow to them.
It was tantamount to directly extinguishing their hope of breaking out.
In addition to the above strategies, Luo De mobilized three troops from the slave army and coordinated with several other slave resistance armies to guard the three key roads leading to Jiye City. The three strongholds were like three big locks. Firmly locking the passage to the heart of the empire.
Two days later, the three strongholds successfully blocked several local troops from the empire who came to King Qin. Not only were they blocked for about 30 seconds outside Jiye City,

100 kilometers away, and suffered heavy losses, and the remaining remaining soldiers were also wiped out in the subsequent battle.
At this point, Jiye City completely cut off all contact with the outside world and became an island within an island.
Jiye City fell into a mourning that continued to spread...
The landing of the transport aircraft on which Lord and Leidy were riding plunged Jiye City into deep despair. People looked at the ashen high priest on the six-sided tower and could not understand why his prayers summoned the rebels. Instead of summoning the gods for the precarious Jiye City?
The high priest felt the suspicious and questioning eyes of everyone. He looked up to the sky, slowly closed his eyes, and let the sharp arrow-like eyes penetrate his body...
He had to bear all this.
Emperor Busoz withdrew his gaze from the high priest. He drew his sword. Under his cold expression was a determined face. He vowed to live and die with Jiye City.
When the hatch of the transport aircraft opened, Leidy secretly hinted to Rod. Rod understood. He did not jump off the aircraft immediately, but met his subordinates in the hatch. For a moment, there was a surge of excitement. There were nearly a hundred leaders, big and small, who entered the cabin. These were all his entrusted generals and the top commanders of various arms.
Rod's goal in doing this was not to capture the aircraft. In fact, it was impossible for them to capture the transport aircraft. They had experienced the power of the space aircraft before. Although the two had different functions, in the eyes of the Feida people, No difference.
Even though this transport aircraft was only equipped with defensive weapons, not to mention the mere hundred people who poured into the cabin, even the entire slave army was vulnerable to it.
This transport aircraft was "summoned" by Luo De. He is the one who can directly talk to the "god". With this transport aircraft in the military camp, it can not only defeat the low morale of the Jiye City defenders, but also It can boost the enthusiasm of your own army to attack the city.
It is a symbol that further consolidates the slave army's fighting will and belief in siege.
This was exactly the purpose of Leidy's hint to Lot, and he naturally understood the mystery behind it.
According to Lot's instructions, the slave warriors served exquisite food and drinks to the crew to show their respect and admiration for the "gods". With Lot and others taking the lead in drinking, the crew was overwhelmed by the hospitality. accepted these gifts.
In the middle of the gluttonous feast, the crew members fell to the ground.
Food and drinks contain a unique sleep-aiding plant juice from Feida Star, which can put an adult Feida Star into a coma within 15 minutes.
Afterwards, Lord and his subordinates withdrew the transport aircraft.
Under the dark blue night, in the eyes of the Feida people, the transport aircraft was like an extremely powerful magical weapon from the God Realm, standing proudly among the slave army.
But this behemoth is completely different from the two mentalities of the defender and the attacker. One is intimidation and non-transgression, and the other is spiritual support and totem effect.
At this point, Luo De has achieved a comprehensive encirclement and shock of Jiye City in fact and spirit, and everything is ready except for the final thunder blow.
As a shrill horn passed over the embattled city of Jiye, Lot's army made a sudden move, and the general attack on the city began.
Rows of heavily-equipped catapults were pushed in front of the slave army. There were about 2,000 catapults. Burning fireballs and stones of different sizes were placed on the concave trays. The catapults were ready, waiting for orders. issued.
In front of the catapult force, a slave force carrying ladders was mixed with a slave force holding spears and scimitars. Their faces were painted with various camouflage patterns and patterns, or their chests were exposed. His shoulders and armor were in order, and his eyes were fixed on Jiye City in front of him.
They formed the backbone of the siege.
At the front of the two armies, hundreds of slave warriors carried a giant tree about 3 meters in diameter. The front end of the tree was cut into a sharp round shape.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Cone-shaped and wrapped in thick iron sheets, they would use this simple battering ram to break open the thick gates of Jiye City.
The night sky in Jiye City is filled with the smell of death. The black birds hovering in the sky indicate that death is coming. They are impatiently waiting for a bloody siege.
Following Lot's order, 2,000 catapults made a neat and dull sound. Thousands of burning fireballs were mixed with tens of thousands of stones of different sizes, like a burning fire rain and a dense dark cloud. The overwhelming force poured towards Jiye City...
After a brief silence, a blaze of fire fell from the sky. The roaring fireballs hit the houses of all sizes in Jiye City. Suddenly, the whole city fell into a sea of fire...
Immediately afterwards, the dense stone formations also collapsed like a torrential rain. The thick city walls were blasted to pieces in the repeated attacks. The soldiers were knocked to the ground in batches. They were either beaten to the ground. The cold stones pierced through the body and tore it into several pieces.
Another low horn pierced the night, and the general attack began.
The slave warriors carrying the battering ram shouted and rushed towards the city gate. Behind them were thousands of slave warriors carrying ladders and holding spears and scimitars. They were like a rushing torrent that could not be stopped. The trend surged towards Jiye City...
On the city wall, Busoz's tired and bloodshot eyes were staring at the army of slaves coming in like a tide. After a moment, his eyes turned to a general in armor next to him.
The general nodded, "Hey!" A sword was pulled out from his waist, and the blade of the sword passed through the air. Under the dim light, the cold light pointed directly at the crazily surging slave army below the city.
"Archers, prepare!"
Following the general's order, tens of thousands of archers on the city wall unfurled their bows and set arrows, pointing their sharp arrows at the army of slaves surging under the night.
"Whoosh!" An archer shot a flaming arrow into the air. The fire drew a perfect parabola in the air like a meteor. A few seconds later, it pierced deeply into the ground about 100 meters away from the charging slave army. meters ahead.
The general is measuring the distance, and what he wants is for the arrow to be fired without missing a beat.
The charging slave army was still rushing forward crazily. The general stared at the burning arrow feathers with burning eyes. At this moment, the slave army was only 30 meters away from it.
He slowly raised his hand into the air, but did not put it down. He was waiting for the moment when the slave army's front crossed the arrow feathers.
After a few seconds, he waved his big hand downwards and shouted with all his strength: "Let go!"
As the words faded, the dense rain of arrows was like a layer of dark clouds covering the sky, wrapped in a strong wind, and shot at the charging slave army with the force of a mountain.
After the arrow rain, the slave army fluctuated violently like boiling hot water. Groups of slave warriors were hit by arrows falling from the sky and fell to the ground while running. For a moment, the entire charging army screamed and wailed. Again and again...
"put!"
Another wave of arrows fell. This time, the charging slave army was completely disrupted. Charging was no longer their primary goal. Finding a place to hide and escape was their first choice.
The general on the city wall did not give the remaining soldiers any chance to escape. As three consecutive waves of arrows fell at shorter intervals, the 50,000-strong siege army was almost completely wiped out. Only about 3,000 people were left. People abandoned their armor and fled towards their own camp...
About a hundred meters away from the slave camp, the 3,000 deserters were greeted by a war team composed of 10,000 crossbowmen. Following Lot's order, the war team fired thousands of arrows, and the slaves fell one after another. The ground died.
After the massacre, Luo De appeared on top of the transport aircraft, staring coldly at the armored general on the city wall...
The general seemed to feel Lot's fierce gaze. The moment the two people's eyes met, they were filled with hatred and bloody flames...
