As soon as Lu Ziyang and Lord Xi left, the soldiers on the city wall instantly regained their ability to move. However, the moment of stagnation just now had an irreversible impact on the battle situation.
Taking advantage of the moment when the city tower defenders stopped shooting arrows, Wang Meng's army finally succeeded in placing large spiritual mines at the city gate.
"boom!"
The transformed spiritual power of several Heavenly Wheel masters struck the spiritual thunder together, and with a loud noise that shook the earth, a gap was opened in the solid south gate of the imperial capital.
Like flies eyeing a rotten egg, when the southern Xinjiang army saw this gap, they rushed in like crazy with arrows and spiritual thunder from above, and began to engage in hand-to-hand combat with the defenders downstairs, shouting for a moment to kill. The sound of explosions, the neighing of horses, and the clash of weapons were endless.
Shu Shu and Zuo Tianming had already evacuated the city wall under the protection of the soldiers. Behind them came the tragic cry of soldiers from the city tower being slaughtered by masters of the Dangyang Sect.
"General Zuo, those dispatched by Dangyang faction are all Tianlun masters and are invincible." Shu Shu advised, "It is better to retreat first and discuss later."
"If the Tiger Guards withdraw, won't Wang Meng's army march straight in? What will happen to the people of the imperial capital, and what will happen to the safety of the imperial city?"
"If you and I were killed here and the soldiers were leaderless, wouldn't it be worse?" Shu Shu said earnestly, "If you keep the green hills, you won't be afraid of running out of firewood. Save your lives first, move reinforcements from the imperial city, and then take back the city gate." It’s not too late.”
When Zuo Tianming heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little moved. Before he could speak, he suddenly heard an old and loud voice from behind: "No, the reinforcements have arrived."
"General Xue!" Zuo Tianming looked up and saw the old General Xue Dingxi appearing behind Shu Shu, and couldn't help but be overjoyed.
Standing behind Old General Xue was a young man in a blue shirt with a tall and straight figure and a majestic appearance. He was Xue Pingxi, the eldest son of Xue and currently ranked tenth on the Daqian Heroes List, the "Dragon-Breaking Sword".
"General Zuo, Your Majesty has an order. From now on, I will take over the guarding of the South City Gate." Old General Xue reached out and took out a token and said loudly.
"It is indeed His Majesty's token." After Zuo Tianming carefully confirmed it, he clasped his hands in his fists and bowed down respectfully, "General, I will obey the order. Everything is at the command of the old general."
"There are many enemy masters. Now that the city gate has been breached, how will the old general respond?" Shu Shu couldn't help but ask.
"Leave the matter of leading the troops to fight to me." Old General Xue glanced at him coldly, "I won't bother you, Lord Shu."
As he spoke, he ignored the displeasure on Shu Shu's face, turned his head and shouted behind him: "Upgrade the Spiritual Arrow!"
General Xue brought not many people, about a thousand people. After he gave the order, nearly a hundred archers suddenly jumped out from among them. They drew jade-white arrows from their backs, opened their bows and nocked arrows, "swish, swish, swish". He fired fiercely at the Dangyang Sect masters who had been killed above the city wall.
"Be careful, it's a spirit-breaking arrow!" Lu Chengxian shouted to the woman next to him, "Sister, let's avoid it for now!"
"Okay!" The woman in the yellow shirt nodded slightly when she heard the words. The two of them rushed to the rear of the army at the same time, and they did not hesitate to use the sergeant under Wang Meng's command as a shield.
It turns out that this girl is Lu Ziyang's biological daughter, Lu Chengxian's biological sister, Lu Jiaojiao.
Lu Jiaojiao is already thirty-three. As the daughter of the leader of the largest sect in Yunjin, her cultivation level is also quite good. Although her talent is slightly inferior to that of her younger brother Lu Chengxian, she is already a master of the Heavenly Wheel.
She was born with a mean face with high cheekbones and a pointed chin, and an extremely hot temper. Therefore, at this age, she was still alone and unmarried. This time the Xiao family was in trouble, and the Dangyang faction was wiped out. After leaving, she followed her father to the imperial capital.
"What do you mean by this?" Wang Meng looked at the soldiers who were exposed to the spirit-breaking arrows and suffered heavy casualties. She was trembling with anger. "Only the lives of Dangyang disciples are valuable. I, the Southern Xinjiang sergeant, can die casually." What?"
"General Wang, this spirit-shattering arrow is quite restrained against us. If we, the Heavenly Wheel masters, die, can we only rely on your mob to capture the imperial capital?" Lu Chengxian said without any hint of guilt.
"You..." Wang Meng looked at Lu Chengxian's oily and pink face, wishing to shoot him and make his head explode.
He understood in his heart that what Lu Chengxian said was not unreasonable. The Soul-Breaking Arrow was a special weapon designed to deal with masters, and it did not pose that great a threat to ordinary armies.
Fortunately, the Southern Xinjiang Army was also an elite division. At this time, they had come to their senses and put up their shields one after another to resist the swarming spirit-breaking arrows. With the sound of "bang bang" arrows hitting each other, the arrows fired from the imperial capital More than half of the spirit-breaking arrows landed on the shield. Although the Southern Xinjiang Army was slightly injured, it did not cause any damage.
During the stalemate between the two sides, General Xue's side finally ran out of stock of spirit-breaking arrows, and the dense rain of arrows in the sky suddenly became sparse.
"Brother Lu, the opponent's arrows have been used up, and it's time for you 'masters' to show off." Wang Meng sarcastically said, then waved the spear in his hand and shouted, "Kill!"
"Kill!" Almost at the same time, General Xue also raised his long knife.
At this time, the army under Wang Meng's command was less than 3,000. There were still more than 8,000 of the 10,000 Tiger Guards originally commanded by Zuo Tianming. They merged with the 1,000 people brought by General Xue, and the two sides gathered around the city gate. There was a fierce fight, with swords and swords flashing and flesh and blood flying everywhere.
Ordinarily, General Xue's side had an absolute advantage in terms of numbers. However, without the constraints of the Spirit-Breaking Arrows, the dozen or so Tianlun masters of the Dangyang Sect were like dragons entering the sea, one against a hundred, harvesting ordinary people wantonly. The number of soldiers and the small space at the city gate meant that the Tiger Guards' numerical advantage could not be used, and the two sides fought evenly.
After all, Wang Meng is the leading general. Unlike the masters of the Dangyang Sect who only know how to kill people, he is well versed in the principle of shooting people first, shooting horses, and capturing thieves first.
He relied on his Tianlun cultivation to break forward, and unknowingly he had arrived only a few feet away from General Xue.
You may have!
Seeing that General Xue was paying more attention to the masters of the Dangyang Sect, his eyes narrowed and the spear in his hand shot out. His whole body moved with the gun, and with an unstoppable momentum, he rushed straight to General Xue in front. He left in front of the enemy, vowing to take the enemy's general's head among the thousands of troops.
Seeing that the tip of the gun was getting closer and closer to the target, General Xue finally turned his head and noticed Wang Meng's strange movement. There was a look of surprise in his eyes. When he was about to wave his sword to resist, it was too late. Wang Meng felt happy. , exerted force on his hand, and was about to kill the old general, when he suddenly heard an angry shout coming from beside him, and then, an overwhelming, powerful force came from the right, with the force of breaking through the air, straight into the air. Hitting his right shoulder.
Wang Meng turned around and saw a huge spiritual dragon opening its huge mouth and roaring towards her. From a distance, she could feel the powerful power contained in the dragon.
The angle of the dragon's attack was extremely clever, taking into account Wang Meng's forward speed. If he ignored it and continued to assassinate the old general, he would definitely be taken away by the fierce attack of the dragon.
He is a master!
His heart trembled, knowing that the assassination had failed. He turned the spear in his hand quickly without slowing down, and took a step back with his body, just in time to avoid the dragon's powerful blow.
Immediately afterwards, a blue figure appeared in front of Wang Meng. The figure was tall and handsome, with a long knife in his hand raised forward, the tip of the knife pointed at Wang Meng's position, and a strong murderous aura exuded from his whole body.
"Who is here?" Wang Meng has been famous for a long time, and she was a little surprised when she saw that the other person was younger than herself.
"Xue Pingxi!" It turns out that this person is Xue Pingxi, the eldest son of Xue and Zhong Wen's fair-weather friend.
"Could it be the 'Dragon-Breaking Sword' ranked tenth on the Daqian Heroes List?" Wang Meng immediately reacted. As a former hero on the list, he has always been very concerned about updates to the list.
"I know you, 'Soul-Leaving Spear' Wang Meng, was ranked tenth on the last Heroic List." Xue Pingxi's eyes showed a desire for battle, "I didn't expect you to be a shameless person who sneaked up on the elders."
"Childish, marching and fighting, how can you respect the old and love the young?" Wang Meng said disdainfully.
"It doesn't matter, let me see what kind of strength the heroes on the last list have?" Xue Pingxi slowly raised the long knife in his hand, "Let's see who is more worthy of the tenth place."
Is a mere tenth place worthy of being so serious...
Xue Pingxi's tone made Wang Meng speechless for a while.
"Stop blabbering and come on!" After all, he is a professional soldier. He quickly came to his senses and knew that this battle was inevitable. He shook the spear in his hand, transformed into several filaments of spiritual power, and went straight to Xue Pingxi. .
The No. 10 players in the two rankings each used their spiritual power to transform. The filaments of spiritual power were entangled with the giant dragon, and the fight was very lively.
"Deal with the old man who is directing first!" After all, the woman was more attentive. Lu Jiaojiao looked around and sensed Wang Meng's actions. She suddenly had an idea and called to Lu Chengxian beside him, "As long as you kill him, the other party will definitely kill him." The situation is in chaos.”
"Okay." Lu Cheng nodded in approval.
The long swords in the hands of the two siblings shook up at the same time, turning into huge waves in the air, forcing the enemies around them to retreat, and then kicked off their feet to kill in the direction of General Xue.
Along the way, several Tianlun masters from the Tiger Guard came to intercept them, and they were entangled by other masters from the Dangyang Sect. Anyone whose cultivation level was lower than Tianlun was chopped down by the two of them with one sword. The siblings worked together, It was actually overwhelming and unstoppable.
Within a moment, Lu Jiaojiao had already taken the lead and rushed to the vicinity of Old General Xue. She pointed her toes on the ground, her bright yellow figure leaped high, and thrust out a sword from a high position. The huge wave of spiritual power rolled towards General Xue fiercely.
Seeing that the huge wave was about to hit the old general a foot away, a long whip suddenly flew out of nowhere and hit the huge wave, scattering the spiritual power that Lu Jiaojiao had gathered.
"Who?" Lu Jiaojiao held her sword in front of her and looked warily towards the direction of the whip.
A woman in red came into her sight.
The woman is in her early thirties, with willow eyebrows and almond-shaped eyes, a pretty nose, and sexy red lips. Her skin is slightly brown, but it does not affect her well-proportioned facial features. Her well-proportioned figure is even more hot under the red outfit. All the top and bottom exude the unique charm of mature women.
"My name is Suzaku." The voice of the beauty in red was low and charming, which sounded very pleasant to the ear.
