In front of the Imperial Palace of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the rebel army marched in an orderly manner holding shields.
"Fire the arrow!"
On the city wall, Yu Du commanded the defenders and fired thousands of arrows.
The densely packed arrows made a sharp sound of breaking through the air. They were as dense as raindrops, crossing a long parabola and falling from the sky, covering all the attacking rebel formations.
Suddenly, a dense sound of metal collisions resounded through the night sky.
Most of the arrows were blocked by the rebels' shields. Only a very small part of the arrows passed through the gaps between the shields and successfully penetrated the rebels' bodies.
The phalanx stalled briefly, but soon continued to move forward.
In one round of shooting, the rebels suffered no more than a few hundred casualties.
Among them, only about a hundred people died.
Rebels, everyone has acquired the realm of cultivation. Unless they shoot to the fatal part, it will be difficult to make them lose their combat effectiveness.
These are the elites selected from the army by the four major aristocratic families and the four major families.
Although the quality of their individual soldiers is far from being comparable to that of the Xuanjia Army, each of them has the cultivation of the late acquired heaven realm, and their vitality is much stronger than ordinary people.
"Get ready, fire the bow!" Yu Dutong raised one hand high. When the archer cocked the bow, he gave the order: "Fire the arrow!"
Arrows were whistling all over the sky, and the black mass fell towards the siege rebels.
Round after round of arrows rained heavily, which greatly hindered the rebels' offensive.
"More than 10,000 people dare to resist in a corner!"
Murong Bo sneered again and again and made a gesture to the general beside him.
The general immediately galloped to the siege crossbow that had been set up, raised the command flag in his hand, and pointed in the direction of the opponent's palace: "Let go!"
One after another, five-meter-long gold steel crossbow arrows as thick as arms made a sharp sound of breaking through the air, accompanied by the sound of air explosions. They carried terrifying penetrating power and shot towards the walls and gates of the palace.
boom!
The entire city wall shook slightly, and stone fragments flew everywhere.
The thick crossbow penetrated the solid city wall and was embedded two to three meters deep.
The ends of these crossbow arrows were connected to special ropes, forming a rope bridge between the crossbows between the city wall and the rebels.
One after another, the rebels, holding shields in their left hands and spears in their right hands, rose into the air and rushed towards the city wall on ropes.
The palace gates, the solid and heavy gold and iron gates, were shot with deep arrow holes.
The terrifying impact of the siege crossbow caused the parts on both sides of the city gate that connected with the city wall to loosen.
"We can't control it anymore. The rebels' siege crossbows are too powerful and the city gates are beginning to loosen. If there are another dozen rounds of crossbow fire, the city gates will collapse!"
Several lieutenants hurriedly reported the situation.
"You immediately summon all the officers. Except for the centurion, all the rest are brought to the city gate. Use your true energy to strengthen the city wall and do your best to remove the impact of the siege crossbows on the city gate!"
"Du Tong, but here..."
"We have the commander of the capital here and a centurion, that's enough! Go quickly! The city gate is lost, and the capital will ask you for questioning!"
"Yes! The last general takes the order!"
Several lieutenants left in a hurry.
…
at the same time.
Ji Beilan, who was heading to the Royal Forest Army camp, was intercepted halfway.
This is already the third route he has tried.
There were no exceptions. The places that every route must pass were full of rebels. There were thousands of rebels at each place, and there was also a general from the early stage of the Star Sea Realm and several lieutenants from the late stage of the Star River Realm.
"Eighth Prince, it's so late, where are you going?"
The leading general rode his horse to the front, pointing his war spear at the ground, the tip of the spear shining with an icy cold light in the dark night.
"Get away!"
Ji Beilan's eyes were cold and he drew out his sword.
"Go away?" The corner of the general's mouth turned up slightly, and he laughed contemptuously, and said: "Do you think you are still the eighth prince before? Tsk tsk, the status of a prince is so noble. It's a pity that at this moment, under the general's control, In my eyes, you are nothing!"
"Well, I really want to try what it feels like to use the royal blood with my hands."
Several lieutenants laughed and said.
"You bastards!"
Ji Beilan was so angry that she was shaking all over.
"Okay, don't pretend to be your prince here. You're not worthy of giving orders to us!" The general sneered: "You were born a prince because of your good birth. You relied on your father's status as prince. Wei, relying on the reputation of your imperial sister, otherwise who are you? Just a young child with a yellow mouth, hahaha!"
"I say, Eighth Prince, hurry back to your palace and wait for death with your father. Maybe you can see the world a few more times. If you don't obey, the war guns in our hands and the fighting skills of these soldiers will Spears don’t even have eyes.”
Several lieutenants laughed, as if they were threatening children.
"You guys also want to stop this prince?"
The zhenqi in Ji Beilan's body suddenly exploded, and he rushed forward with his sword, and the violent zhenqi rolled up waves of air.
"Set up the formation!"
The military general shouted, and he and several lieutenants came forward with guns.
Suddenly, a fierce fight broke out.
…
Zongwang Mountain at night no longer has the tranquility of the past.
Thousands of craftsmen are building it day and night.
Today's Zongwang Mountain is no longer as desolate as it used to be. The palaces and pavilions are all connected together.
The top sect kings guarding the sect king mountain had not rested, but were gathering together, drinking and chatting.
The master of the Yaowang Sect came in a hurry, which surprised them a little.
"Su Jin, what happened?"
Several people looked at him. Did he come here late at night? Did something happen?
"Everyone, Mr. Jun is asleep?"
He glanced around and saw Jun Wuxie's figure, so he couldn't help but said urgently.
"Are you looking for little brother Wuxie?" Several people were startled and said, "We thought you were looking for brother Su Ji. If you are looking for little brother Wuxie, it's not a coincidence. I'm afraid you have to wait. He was there some time ago He entered the spiritual void world on the same day and has not come out yet."
"this……"
Su Jin was suddenly stunned.
An idea popped into his mind.
Since Jun Wuxie is in the Lingxu Realm and doesn't know when he will come out, do you really want to tell him about the danger to the Great Zhou Palace?
Now, it is basically certain that someone must be behind this incident. Otherwise, the four major families and others would not dare to attack the palace even if they had ten courages.
Not to mention anything else, there are 750,000 imperial guards stationed in the capital.
But there was no movement at all among the 750,000 Imperial Guards.
This further proves that there are forces involved that the Zhou royal family cannot contend with.
Although he didn't want to see the Great Zhou royal family perish like this, he didn't want Jun Wuxie to step into a killing trap set by others because of this incident.
For him, Jun Wuxie's safety was far more important than that of the Zhou royal family.
That is someone who can help their Zongwang Academy in the future.
However, if this matter was concealed and Jun Wuxie found out about it later, would he alienate the Yaowang Sect because of his actions?
"Su Jin, why did you come to Zongwang Mountain so late?"
Just when he was struggling and hesitant in his heart, Su Ji opened the door and walked out.
"Elder!"
The moment Su Jin saw Su Ji, his frown immediately relaxed.
The elders in charge of the sect are here, and it is up to the elders who protect the law to decide what to do in this matter.
