Princess Zixuan, who was on the wall of the royal city, turned pale but her eyes became extremely firm after listening to Dong Zhan's words.
She took out the sword in her hand and strode to the front of everyone in Xia Kingdom.
Looking at the Zhao army that was as dense as a tide outside the royal city, he said firmly:
"Don't have such wishful thinking. The people of our Xia Kingdom will not be as spineless as your Zhao Kingdom. We would rather die than grovel and become slaves of Xuanyin Pavilion!"
As she spoke, Princess Zixuan raised her sword high and continued speaking word by word:
"Xia Guo, never be a slave!"
Princess Zixuan's words suddenly resounded through the sky under the influence of Yuanli.
This aroused the excitement of countless Xia soldiers, and their blood was suddenly aroused by Princess Zixuan's words. They who were originally panic became calm at this time.
All the defenders of the royal city, as well as Xia's civil and military officials and generals, raised their weapons at this moment and shouted loudly.
"Xia will never be a slave!"
"Xia will never be a slave!"
…
For a time, the morale of Xia soldiers who worked together was rising steadily, and the previous decline could not be seen.
At this moment, they had understood very clearly that they were not only fighting for Xia Kingdom, but also fighting for themselves.
For the sake of my descendants, from birth, I can be an upright person, instead of a slave who grovels and is driven by others!
Hearing the shouts that echoed through the sky in the Xia King's city, a trace of disdain flashed across Marshal Zhao's face.
"I don't know whether to live or die, attack with the whole army!"
As he spoke, Marshal Zhao pointed his extremely domineering spear directly at the Xia Imperial City.
"Boom!"
After hearing the order from Marshal Zhao, the dull sound of war drums began to sound, and the Zhao army, as dense as a tide, moved and rushed towards the Xia Imperial City.
"Ready to fight!"
The sound of horns full of fighting spirit also sounded in Xia Kingdom's royal city, and the siege battle began.
"Archers prepare!"
"put!"
Countless archers standing on the walls of the royal city, under the command of their respective generals, loosened their bowstrings at this moment and shot countless arrows engraved with rune formations.
In an instant, the sky above the royal city suddenly darkened, and arrows filled the sky covering the clouds and the sun, directly covering the sky above the Zhao army attacking the city.
Then, countless arrows fell like raindrops on the Zhao army. In a blink of an eye, those arrows touched the ground and the Zhao soldiers.
The rune formations carved on the arrows were activated one after another, and explosions appeared in Zhao's army one after another. Countless limbs and broken arms flew around, turning the place into a terrifying slaughterhouse.
And at the same time, on the city wall, giant ballistae and other powerful weapons for defending the city also began to join the battle. In the blink of an eye, thousands of Zhao soldiers lost their lives.
During the battle, Zhao's soldiers looked like they were being cut down like wheat. The general of Zhao who was in charge of the central army did not move at all.
He had persuaded him to surrender before just to preserve his strength. Now that war was unavoidable, he naturally didn't care about these casualties.
Moreover, the troops currently attacking the Xia Kingdom's city are just ordinary soldiers of the Zhao State. In the Zhao State army, they all belong to the status of miscellaneous soldiers. No matter how many of these soldiers die, the Zhao State Marshal does not feel sorry for them.
His real elite is the black armored cavalry.
The black-armored cavalry is a powerful force created by the entire Zhao State. In the opinion of the Zhao State Marshal, only such an army is worthy of following him.
Now use these miscellaneous soldiers to consume the strength of the Xia King's City defenders. When the Xia King's City defenders are exhausted, he can lead the black armored cavalry to break through the Xia King's City gate in one fell swoop.
…
At the beginning of the war, before the two sides came into contact with each other, Xia State launched intensive long-range attacks on Zhao State's army, directly inflicting heavy losses on Zhao State's army.
On the Zhao State's side, they also assembled siege equipment to fight back against the Xia State, reducing the burden on the siege troops.
However, as the royal city of the Xia Kingdom, this city has long been built to be impregnable, and the entire city is covered with countless defense methods.
After Zhao State's long-range attack equipment started to attack, under the busy work of a group of formation mages, a transparent light curtain directly covered the entire royal city. Zhao State's long-range attack method, after hitting this light curtain, just The blow made ripples.
However, Xia's long-range attack methods were not affected by the light curtain at all, and directly penetrated the light curtain, causing horrific damage to Zhao's army.
Despite the rain of arrows and countless attacks, Zhao's forward troops finally rushed to the bottom of Xia's royal city.
A series of ladders were set up and then placed on the city wall, and the soldiers of Zhao State began to climb crazily up the wall of the Xia King's City.
However, Xia Guo had already anticipated Zhao Guo's army's plan. In an instant, after the ladder was set up on the city wall.
The archers continued to kill the Zhao army outside the city, and under the command of the Xia generals, countless Xia soldiers came to the city wall carrying huge rolling stones and boiling oil.
At the Xia general's order, these things were thrown down by the Xia soldiers one after another.
In an instant, countless wailing sounds sounded under the walls of the Xia King's City.
Under the rolling boulders, the ordinary soldiers of Zhao State were directly smashed into meat paste, and those Zhao State soldiers who were drenched in boiling oil were even worse.
The skin all over his body was blistered and peeled off. He screamed and fell to the ground, and then struggled on the ground.
At this moment, under the walls of the Xia King's City, it turned into a scene of purgatory on earth.
However, faced with such a tragic situation, Zhao's soldiers still charged with all their might. Even if they stepped on their own comrades, they could not stop them at all.
It's not that they are not afraid of death, but after Xuanyin Pavilion rules the Zhao Kingdom, if they escape from battle, their families, parents, relatives and friends will be punished by Xuanyin Pavilion.
This is the sad thing about being a servant country, the rulers don't treat them as human beings at all.
The brutal siege lasted for a long time, as Xia's soldiers began to show fatigue.
In the Zhao army, those generals with high cultivation levels began to take the lead in attacking the city wall. Facing the towering city wall, they did not need to catch the ladder to climb. They only needed to borrow strength from the city wall to reach the city wall directly. above.
After all, even a towering city wall can only resist ordinary soldiers or warriors who have just entered the realm of body refining. For warriors above the realm of condensing yuan, the height of the city wall has no meaning at all.
They can climb up easily, and even if they are more advanced, they can jump directly from the ground to the city wall.
