When they arrived at the city gate, Dong Yuan's archer battalion attacked the city tower. Under the cover of the archer battalion, other troops went to the city gate hole and moved away the corpses blocking the passage.
Shen Qianyao saw Dong Yuan personally leading an army to attack on the city tower. The dense arrows flew towards the city tower. The dozens of archers on the city tower couldn't resist it. They were forced to hide under the protective wall by the flying arrows.
"Retreat, everyone go below the tower."
After hearing Shen Qianyao's order, the archers hiding under the protective wall bent down and walked along the protective wall to the bottom of the city tower.
Dong Yuan stood under the city gate, looking at the tower, but could not see a shadow.
At this time, a passage was cleared in the city gate cave, and the two armies swarmed forward and began to fight for the passage.
Dong Yuan squeezed through the crowd, reached the front and shouted: "Get out of the way." Silver Gong pointed at the cleared passage.
Upon hearing Dong Yuan's order, all the soldiers in front retreated to the side, and Qiao Fu's army was exposed in front of Dong Yuan from the passage.
Before Qiao Fu's army could react, arrows flew out from the silver bow in Dong Yuan's hand, and shot into Qiao Fu's army one after another. Six or seven people fell to the ground in a moment, and the others immediately retreated after seeing this.
After the corpses were basically cleaned up, Shen Qianyao led hundreds of people to stand in front of the city gate, looking at Dong Yuan holding a silver bow.
"Dong Yuan, Zhaluo City belongs to us, don't try to take it from us."
Dong Yuan pointed his silver bow at Shen Qianyao and said, "You must be Shen Qianyao. I heard that you have good fighting power, but unfortunately it is useless. I advise you to surrender."
"Impossible." Shen Qianyao said firmly.
"In that case, don't blame me for being rude." Dong Yuan loosened his fingers, and the arrow flew out towards Shen Qianyao.
The combat power of this arrow is very strong, and the surrounding air forms streams of airflow that surges with the arrow under the action of the combat power.
Shen Qianyao held the silver gun, took a heavy step forward, stepped on the ground with his soles, and pushed his body upwards. The combat power has gathered on the silver spear. As the body rises upward, a silver arc is drawn in the air, and the tip of the spear shoots down the flying arrows.
Shen Qianyao fell towards Dong Yuan, his silver spear dancing in front of him, forming a stream of energy to attack Dong Yuan.
Dong Yuan knew that this arrow would definitely be blocked by Shen Qianyao, so he drew out the arrow with his backhand and attacked Shen Qianyao continuously.
The arrows hit Shen Qianyao's silver spear in waves, and the energy aroused formed circles of ripples, attacking in all directions.
The two men fought at the gate of the inner city, and the fight lasted for thirty minutes without a winner.
Dong Yuan made a feint and retreated from the battle, staring at Shen Qianyao: "The fighting ability is good, but it is a pity that he will not survive today."
"Stop talking nonsense, our city lord has arrived."
Shen Qianyao's words pierced Dong Yuan's heart. When Qiao Fu's army arrived, the city would definitely be unbreakable and everything would be in vain.
A battalion commander walked a few steps forward and came to behind Dong Yuan and said softly: "City Lord, the news just arrived is that the east gate is supported by enemy reinforcements and cannot be breached. In addition, Qiao Fu's army has arrived outside the city."
Upon hearing the news, Dong Yuan's face became even more ugly. He stood for a moment and shouted to Shen Qianyao: "You are lucky today. We will fight again tomorrow." After Dong Yuan finished speaking, he ordered the troops to retreat.
Shen Qianyao stood at the gate of the inner city with a silver gun in his hand, watching Dong Yuan's army slowly withdraw from the city gate until they left Zhaluo City.
The city was finally defended. After Shen Qianyao felt relieved, he felt that his body had long been exhausted. He walked to the steps next to him and sat down.
In the military camp outside Dula City, Ma Xiaoke strode into Zhai Ziyun's camp.
"What are you doing? I haven't seen you all day today."
After staying in the military camp for nearly a month, Zhai Ziyun was almost suffocated. She sat on the edge of the bed, dangling her feet and glared at Ma Xiaoke fiercely.
"It's all you who caught me here. I hate you so much."
Seeing Zhai Ziyun's unruly look, Ma Xiaoke curled his lips and said with a slight smile: "How can I marry you if I don't arrest you?"
After all, Zhai Ziyun was still a girl. When she heard this, her face turned slightly red, she gave Ma Xiaoke another white look, and jumped down from the edge of the bed.
"Don't talk nonsense to me. When I practice for a while, I will beat you all over the place."
"Hahaha." Ma Xiaoke laughed loudly: "With my combat power, this kind of thing is impossible to happen."
"Tch, arrogant." Zhai Ziyun looked at her with contempt.
Ma Xiaoke pretended not to see it, and still said happily: "I am here to tell you that my father has taken over the city of Dula, and we can enter the city to get married tomorrow."
Hearing this, Zhai Ziyun became angry and cursed: "You are so shameless."
Ma Xiaoke said: "Don't worry, after marriage, my territory will be your territory, and Dula City will still be your Dula City."
Originally she was still sad about losing the city, but after hearing what Ma Xiaoke said, Zhai Ziyun instantly became more cheerful. She felt as if she had really not lost anything. She just stared at Ma Xiaoke with a sideways gaze and said nothing.
The next day, in the palace of the Lord of Dula City, red carpets were spread on the passages and extended to the front of each house. Red lanterns were hung on both sides, and the word "囍" was plastered on the door. The crowd walked on the red carpet, laughing non-stop and beaming with joy. , the appearance of joyful lanterns and colorful decorations.
Ma Heng stood in the middle of the crowd, his mouth open and never closed, and he kept smiling.
After Ma Xiaoke and Zhai Ziyun had their wedding ceremony amid the blessings of everyone, they stood next to Ma Heng and Zhai Juguang.
Ma Heng smiled and said to Zhai Juguang next to him: "From now on, we will be the in-laws. Ziyun will never be wronged in our Ma family."
"Thank you City Lord." Zhai Juguang smiled, feeling helpless in his heart, but after thinking about it again, he suddenly understood.
If a war breaks out, the city will also be lost, and his and Zhai Ziyun's lives may also be lost. This may be the best outcome.
The wedding banquet lasted until very late, and by the time the lights went out, it was already late at night.
All the guests dispersed, leaving only Ma Heng and Zhai Juguang walking along the red carpet that had not yet been removed in the empty front yard of the City Lord's Mansion.
"Gathering light, this time we join forces to expand our territory and increase our combat power. I want to go south to seize other cities. I'm afraid I can't stay here for a long time. Xiaoke and Ziyun will also go with me. The management of Dula City will be left to you. .”
Zhai Juguang was reluctant to leave her daughter after she had grown so big. He sighed and said, "I am lucky to be able to become in-laws with the city lord. It's just that Yun'er has never left me. I don't know when she will come back after leaving this time."
"Daughter, you will leave eventually. Concentrating light, I will ask Xiao Ke to bring Zi Yunduo back to see you in the future."
"Don't worry, City Lord. I am familiar with Dura City and will never disappoint the City Lord. However, before the City Lord goes south, he should address himself as lord. This will also make the City Lord in the south sincerely submit."
These words touched Ma Heng's heart: "Before going south, I will declare myself a lord, and other personnel will be promoted together. You will be the Dahongguan."
"Thank you City Lord." Zhai Juguang thanked him and then said, "But if the City Lord goes south, how can we defend the north?"
