As time passed by, the originally dark sky became darker as the sun gradually set behind the clouds.
"Chief, after our rough observation, our city wall can still hold on for more than two hours without changing the frequency of attacks by the coalition forces," a guard commander reported.
"Reporting to the clan leader, the second front line has been deployed and everything is operating normally." Another guard chief also rushed to report. Qi Zhen nodded in understanding, motioned for them to go down, and then continued to wait and think.
Although time passed by, Yao Heng, who was originally a little happy, also calmed down. Because Yao Chiwei was riding a horse, the time when he ordered the pursuit and the time when Qi Zhen ordered it were not very different, but now Yao Heng had not received the news, which made Yao Heng a little panicked. But now he is definitely unable to get away. All he can do now is to maintain the state of basically breaking the city until he gets the exact news.
Time is passing, and naturally it's not just Qi Zhen and Yao Heng who are worried about this. If Yao Heng was the stepping stone to start the war, then the reinforcements from Wang Meng and Wei Liyuan are now the key to the continuation of the battle. Looking at the getting darker sky and Yao Heng's indifferent expression of waiting, Wang Meng and Wei Liyuan naturally knew that it was useless to delay any longer. After briefly talking to Yao Yu, Wang Meng and Wei Liyuan returned to the family in person.
On the way back, the two of them finally encountered the lazy family troops. Although this lazy attitude was more or less an order from them, but having witnessed the battle on the front line, I still couldn't bear to see the troops like this. . At this time, Wang Meng was still a little lucky. According to the marching speed of the troops, they might not be able to arrive in three hours. Wang Meng was still glad that he came here in person. "Cheer up, straighten your posture, and get to the battlefield within an hour." Wang Meng solemnly issued the order.
There is a difference between deliberate laziness and natural laziness. Although this unit looks rubbish at first glance, its essence is still a fighting unit. Therefore, after hearing Wang Meng's order, the unit quickly returned to a fighting posture. Wang Meng, who gave the order, immediately rushed back to the battlefield, and what happened to Wei Liyuan was roughly the same.
In less than half an hour, the two of them finished running back and forth. When they rushed back to the formation, Yao Heng was already waiting in front of the formation. Seeing the two men riding back, Yao Og issued an order to prepare the troops. Under the supervision of the Yao family, the siege formation was soon launched again. The coalition forces were preparing, and the Qi family was naturally preparing as well. Although this is the Qi family, the military strength gap between the coalition forces and the Qi family is still very large, so there are not many guards that the Qi family can replace, and they are basically all those who fought before.
The observant Yao Heng naturally noticed this detail, and Yao Heng could no longer think of other possibilities. Looking at the three coalition forces whose personnel remained unchanged, Qi Zhen was very scared. After all, so much time had passed and there was still no news about Qi Po Di. Qi Zhen was very afraid that news about the Qi family would not be spread.
Because the battle between the two sides has already started, there is nothing more for both sides to say, so the current situation is that both sides are ready for war, but they are both in a standstill state. Accompanied by a small noise from behind the coalition forces, the reinforcements that Wang Meng and Wei Liyuan had been waiting for finally arrived. The reinforcements did come, but there were not many new people. The two families combined had only two-thirds of the first force. Obviously, the Wang and Wei families did not want to completely block the retreat. Seeing this situation, Yao Heng made up his mind to break the city.
"Everyone is ready to attack the city." The reinforcements had arrived, and Yao Og no longer delayed and directly issued the order to attack the city.
"Everyone is prepared to defend the outer city," Qi Zhen also made war preparations. Although the Qi family has the advantage of defending the city, there is a huge difference in the personnel on both sides. As far as defending the city is concerned, if the elders of the Qi family do not take action, each of the Qi family's spiritual masters will have to deal with three to four climbers. .
Coupled with the reinforcements from the Wang and Wei families, the coalition's offensive became more and more fierce. Qi Zhen had no choice but to send some ordinary soldiers who were originally guarding the second front. Now, on average, there are close to every psychic. Two ordinary soldiers assisted. The ordinary soldiers who went into battle were only responsible for throwing some big rocks, or working together to knock down the siege ladder. Therefore, although ordinary soldiers suffered losses, the losses were very few. Because of the intervention of ordinary soldiers of the Qi family, the entire battlefield slowly maintained a balance. This balance is unfavorable to the coalition forces, because it is currently a siege, and the coalition's ordinary soldiers cannot play a big role, while the Qi family's ordinary soldiers can be replaced in a steady stream.
Although the losses in the battle were even on both sides, Yao Og was not happy about it. While Yao Wei was still thinking, Yao Ba on the side asked for orders: "Clan Chief, the number of spiritual masters in our coalition is several times that of the Qi family. Let me lead people to attack. I promise to capture the outer city within an hour." Because It had been a long time since the preparations to start the war, but the elders of the Yao family had never taken action, which made Yao Ba, who had always been warlike, unable to restrain himself. Of course, the same militant faction as Yao Ba naturally agreed with Yao Ba's proposal. Looking at his eager men, Yao Wei said: "This Qi Zhen has always loved the people like his own son. Now the losses of ordinary soldiers of the Qi family are getting heavier and heavier. We wait another half an hour. If Qi Zhen sends ordinary soldiers again, If you die, you will attack the city." Maybe Yao Heng also wanted to delay some time, so he finally came out for half an hour. After speaking, Yao Og looked to the northwest with a sad face.
This is how fighting is. If the generals on both sides do not fight and only the soldiers on both sides are dying, then the enthusiasm for fighting will be reduced. It is precisely because of this that the coalition forces still did not capture the outer city for half an hour. Seeing this situation, Yao Heng also knew that he could not delay any longer. Yao Heng looked at Yao Ba, then at Wang Meng and Wei Liyuan, who were standing aside, and ordered: "Yao Ba obeys the order and leads the elders of the Yao family. Siege the city."
"Yes." After receiving the order, Yao Basi did not hesitate and led his men to rush forward. Seeing such a decisive Yao Heng, Wang Meng and Wei Liyuan did not hesitate. They also ordered the elders they brought to launch an attack.
If some elders were sent to besiege the city, then the elders at the east gate still accounted for the majority, and the number of elders in the coalition army was as many as twenty-four.
Seeing dozens of people rushing towards the city, Qi Zhen also knew that the coalition forces were about to launch a general attack. Qi Zhen could no longer calm down and immediately shouted: "Ordinary soldiers, ordinary soldiers, immediately retreat to the second front, elders We only need to defend and not attack, just remember to delay the war, you just need to delay, the worst we can do is abandon the defense of the outer city." Qi Zhen's order was clear, obviously it was the final delay.
With the intervention of the coalition elders, the battle situation on both sides also became one-sided. Originally, there were more than a dozen psychics, but because of the withdrawal of ordinary soldiers, their pressure became even greater, and all the elders who participated in the battle One of them had to deal with four opponents' spiritual skill masters. Looking at the anxious battle situation, Qi Wei wanted to take action many times, but when he saw Yao Heng and the other two people staring at him from the city, Qi Wei also suppressed the pain in his heart. After all, if he takes action, he will have to deal with three spiritual kings.
Seeing the tribesmen dying in battle one by one, Qi Wei's face became increasingly bleak, and more and more coalition forces boarded the outer city, and the elders who were dealing with the coalition forces on the side became increasingly unable to bear it.
At this moment, perhaps due to lack of strength or a mistake, an elder of the Qi family failed to catch his opponent's move, and the next combined move would take away his life. Qi Wei could no longer restrain himself, because the master of spiritual skills was the mainstay of a family, and losing any one of them would not be a problem. Seeing Qi Wei's actions, Qi Zhen immediately ordered: "Everyone, everyone retreat to the second front."
Following Qi Zhen's order, Qi Wei also rescued the elder. Everyone dropped the smoke bombs they had prepared for a long time and quickly evacuated the outer city. When they saw Qi Wei's attack, Yao Heng and the others wanted to take action immediately, but for a moment Yao Heng seemed to feel something and immediately shouted: "Everyone, everyone, retreat, retreat at full speed."
Although they don't know why Yao Heng issued this order, most people still followed it. But the Qi family had been prepared long ago, while most of the coalition forces were still in the joy of destroying the city.
Accompanied by a loud noise, the raging fire suddenly reached a height of tens of meters, and the wall that was more than ten meters high collapsed. Looking at the scene in front of him, Yao Heng pounded the ground angrily. Only then did Yao Heng realize that it was not that the Qi family's outer city had not made any preparations, but that the Qi family had already planted bombs in the city wall when they were building the city. It can be said that what we were waiting for was the blow now. Although the city was broken, more blood was shed.
