As Zhao's offensive became more and more fierce, the walls of Shuangfengguan Fortress were crowded with soldiers from Xia and Zhao.
Nangong Jian stood in the fortress, looking at the battle on the city wall, his face became gloomy.
"Your Majesty, let's retreat to the back area first. It's no longer safe here!"
Looking at Dongfang Yingzheng with a heavy expression, Nangong Jian couldn't help but persuade him.
However, after taking a look at Ye Yun who was sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed, Dongfang Yingzheng shook his head.
"No, Ye Yun's current condition is not suitable for action. We will stay here."
"With the veteran general of the Eastern War here, Zhao cannot break through the city wall!"
With that said, Dongfang Yingzheng called Princess Zixuan to his side and protected her and Ye Yun behind him.
Seeing Dongfang Yingzheng's actions, Nangong Jian knew that he could not change Dongfang Yingzheng's decision, so he said no more and turned around to continue observing the battle situation.
The terrain of the fortress is higher than the city wall. Standing at the window of the fortress, Nangong Jian can directly observe the anxious battle situation on the city wall, as well as the Zhao army outside the fortress.
At this moment, Nangong Jian suddenly discovered with horror that among Zhao's army, an extremely huge siege crossbow suddenly turned wildly.
Soon, a huge crossbow as thick as an adult's waist was aimed directly at the fortress where they were.
The crossbow arrows shone with a sharp sheen, and dense lines were spread all over the thick arrows.
"Damn it!"
As an expert in ordnance, Nangong Jian instantly recognized what it was.
Zhao's weapon of attack was the Mountain-Destroying Arrow. This type of crossbow was made of hundred-forged fine steel, with an explosion of flames engraved on its entire body. The cost of each crossbow arrow was equivalent to a Xuan-level weapon.
The terrifying cost is exchanged for terrifying attack power.
Because it is a disposable weapon, the power of a mountain-destroying arrow is equivalent to a full-strength strike from a ninth-level martial artist.
"Is it a coincidence, or..."
Without thinking too much, Nangong Jian quickly called Dongfang Yingzheng to avoid him.
After Nangong Jian left the window, the mountain-destroying arrow mounted on the crossbow was shot out with great force in an instant. It broke through the speed of sound in an instant, and then landed on the fortress with a terrifying whistling sound. .
Each of the fortresses on the walls of Shuangfengguan Fortress has a defensive array built.
But in the face of the mountain-destroying arrows, the light curtain emitted by the defensive array was simply unable to withstand it.
After a violent flash, the light curtain emitted by the entire defensive array shattered directly.
"boom!"
The moment after shattering the defensive formation, the mountain-destroying arrow exploded, blowing away half of the solid fortress.
And this attack seemed to be a signal. After the fortress was destroyed, the more than 20 Zhao soldiers who were fighting with the Xia soldiers on the city wall with the fortress as the center and within a hundred meters changed their appearance.
Waves of energy fluctuations emanated from their bodies, and they defeated their opponents in an instant, and then rushed toward the ruins of the fortress.
These are not ordinary Zhao State sergeants. Each of them has a cultivation level above the Zhenwu realm.
"Damn it, Zhao Guo actually had a plan in advance!"
After the smoke from the mountain-destroying arrow explosion dispersed, Nangong Jian couldn't help but look at the charging Zhao assassin with an ugly expression.
These people had long followed ordinary Zhao soldiers to wait for this opportunity.
After the assassins revealed their identities, they rushed directly to Dongfang Yingzheng.
Obviously, their goal is to assassinate Dongfang Yingzheng.
"Don't overestimate your capabilities!"
With a cold snort, Dongfang Yingzheng couldn't help but show contempt on his face as he looked at the charging Zhao assassins. Without even moving, he frantically released the pressure belonging to the realm of a high-level martial artist.
At the same time, Yuan Power surged, and behind Dongfang Yingzheng, a long sword that exuded an incomparable aura of nobility gradually turned into reality.
The blade of this sword is long and slender, without a jaw, and the blades on both sides are carved with extremely exquisite patterns.
This is Dongfang Yingzheng’s martial spirit, the Emperor’s Divine Sword!
As soon as the Emperor's Divine Sword appeared, it turned into a blue light and shot out, quickly rushing towards the assassin who was heading towards Dongfang Yingzheng.
The sword light flickered vertically and horizontally, and the assassins who had just rushed in were disintegrated by the sword light without even touching Dongfang Yingzheng's clothes.
Dongfang Yingzheng's martial spirit is a weapon that can be used directly.
However, as an earth-level martial spirit, the terrifying thing about the Emperor's Sword is that it can be directly controlled by Dongfang Yingzheng's thoughts.
Dongfang Yingzheng didn't need to take action at all. As long as he had a thought, the emperor's sword was like an arm.
More than a dozen assassins who rushed forward were killed by Dongfang Yingzheng in just an instant.
This scene made Princess Zixuan's eyes sparkle. She never thought that her father would be so strong.
The remaining seven or eight assassins, after seeing their companions die tragically in front of their eyes, could not help but turn pale, and did not dare to step forward at all. They had been frightened by Dongfang Ying Zheng.
However, just as they were about to retreat, a swift figure rushed over from a distance.
Snow-white sword light flashed, and in an instant, the bodies of these assassins were separated, and they were too dead to die.
And those who killed these assassins were those who knew how to fight.
"Your Majesty is frightened! Your Majesty will beg you to convict me even though the rescue is late!"
Dong Zhan held a long sword and said to Dongfang Yingzheng with a remorseful look on his face.
Looking at Dong Zhan, Dongfang Yingzheng couldn't help but have an unnatural look flash across his face.
Just last night, Dongfang Zhan and Ye Yun both said that Dong Zhan couldn't be trusted. Although Dongfang Yingzheng didn't think so, he still had a small grudge in his heart.
"General Dong, you don't have to blame yourself. These guys can't hurt me yet. But General Dong, your injury hasn't healed yet. Why don't you recuperate first?"
After hearing Dongfang Yingzheng's words, Dong Zhan knelt down on one knee, looked at Dongfang Yingzheng and said:
"The war is urgent, so this injury will not affect us. However, Your Majesty, there are many dangers on the city wall. Please move to a safe location in the fortress."
Feeling the sincerity in Dong Zhan's words, Dongfang Yingzheng couldn't help but wave his hand. In his opinion, assassins like this couldn't hurt him at all. He could kill as many as he came.
"I'm not going anywhere, I'm just standing here, fighting with my Xia soldiers. General Dong, since you..."
Before Dongfang Yingzheng finished speaking, a shrill neighing sound suddenly sounded.
"Your Majesty, be careful!"
Dong Zhan, who was half-kneeling on the ground, suddenly shouted loudly, and then flew directly in front of Dongfang Ying Zheng.
A ray of silver light with a shrill scream struck Dong Zhan's body, directly shattering Dong Zhan's body-protecting energy, piercing into his body, and penetrating him.
What pierced Dong Zhan was a spear. After Dong Zhan blocked it with his body, the front end of the spear was less than 20 centimeters away from Dongfang Yingzheng.
