The first wave of siege by the Zhenxi army has ended, and both sides have suffered damage.

Yang Chengdong was hit by two arrows, but they were only flesh wounds, and with his cultivation in the Divine Refining Realm, this injury was not a big deal.

The 4,000 Zhenxi troops besieging the city suffered 600 wounded and 200 killed.

In Ning'an City, there were 3,000 soldiers defending the city, 800 were wounded, more than 100 were seriously wounded, and the number of dead in the battle was 300.

The casualties on both sides were about the same.

The first wave of attacks had been going on for more than an hour, but now the sun was still in the east, and it was still a long time before noon.

Chu Ke had already ordered the Xuanzi Battalion to dispatch three thousand soldiers and was rushing here.

Fifteen hundred people, left behind in the deciduous mountains.

Hong Wu didn't have too much to worry about at this time, because with the foot strength of the Xuanzi camp, he would be able to feel Ning'an City for two hours at most.

As long as these 3,000 people can arrive before the city is broken, then they can start a strategic retreat plan.

"Hold on to two more waves. Hong Wu said, "After two waves of siege, you can pretend to be defeated and retreat." ”

Chu Ke nodded, this was also what he thought in his heart.

Two hours, just hold on for two hours.

As soon as Yang Chengdong returned to the main formation, and before he could take off his armor, Yan Wei walked over.

"Chengdong, how are the defenders of Ning'an City feeling?" Yan Wei asked, sitting next to Yang Chengdong.

"That's it. Yang Chengdong said, "But there is one thing I care about. ”

"You feel it too?" Yan Wei said.

"Hmm. Yang Chengdong nodded and said, "To be honest, the defenders of Ning'an City have better combat effectiveness than the soft-footed shrimp in other places, so it's so much better." But their commanders, I always felt emboldened. ”

The soldier's sense is keen, although Yang Chengdong didn't see Hong Wu, but he still felt Hong Wu's attitude from the battle just now.

It stands to reason that when a strong enemy presses the border, ordinary leaders either surrender the city or abandon the city and flee.

At most, he was able to hold up a few times, and was defeated and surrendered.

However, Ning'an City knew that it was inferior to the Zhenxi Army in terms of strength, and still had to stick to the city.

Even if his army is wiped out and one is exchanged for three, the defenders of Ning'an City are all dead, and the Zhenxi army will still have a thousand people left.

What kind of calculations was that Hong Wu in Ning'an City.

"It's better to have a demon than something that goes wrong. Yan Wei said, "However, the scouts we sent out did not find anything unusual near Ning'an City. There were no reinforcements, and there was no sneak attack, which is really strange. ”

"Well, I think it's weird too. Yang Chengdong nodded and said, "This is too unreasonable, why did he do this? Could it be that he just didn't want to surrender to the western army of our town, and was determined to fight to the death?"

This reason is not very convincing, even if Hong Wu sees death as if he were at home, could it be that these soldiers under his command also think so?

The Zhenxi Army had already figured out that of Hong Wu's current 3,000 defenders, only more than 1,000 were the old troops he brought from Kang'an City.

If this group of people is of the same mind as Hong Wu, it is reasonable.

However, there are more than 1,000 people, who are the subordinates of the original Li Kai in Ning'an City.

Can these people wear the same pants as Hong Wu in a few days?

But they didn't fight back, and they also worked very hard to defend the city, which made Yang Chengdong and Yan Wei feel strange.

"No matter what intrigues he has, in the face of absolute strength, it is all child's play. Yan Wei said, "I don't believe it, 10,000 Zhenxi troops still can't set foot on his small Ning'an City." ”

"If we really can't do it, we will simply commit suicide en masse, and thank General Xie. ”

"Old general, please rest assured, although Ning An has some resistance, but taking it is today's matter, sooner or later. Yang Chengdong said with a smile.

No matter what kind of tricks you have in Hong Wu, it's a big deal that 10,000 Zhenxi troops pushed it over.

When the time comes, see what other tricks you can play.

After a brief period of reorganization, the Zhenxi army began to plan the next wave of sieges.

Hong Wu, who saw the movement of the Zhenxi Army on the city wall, a pair of black eyebrows wrinkled together.

"I didn't expect the offensive of the Zhenxi Army to be so fast. Hong Wu muttered to himself.

At this moment, he finally saw the difference between an extremely professional army and an ordinary army.

There are still two hours, can you hold on? Hong Wu couldn't help but ask himself.

Compared with Hong Wu's worries, Chu Ke seemed to be calm and light.

"Hong Wu, don't worry. Chu Ke said, "If I can really get in, then I will make a move." ”

"You make a move?" Hong Wu couldn't help but ask, "Isn't it a violation of the rules of war for a venerable master?"

Whether it is the Ancient Continent or the Barbarian Witch Continent, if there is no war at the continental plane level, the supreme masters cannot make a move by default.

Because if the supreme master makes a move, it will be the time of life and death for a certain party.

Therefore, the high-level master can not easily interfere in the war.

At most, it can only play a deterrent role in the army, or a commander-in-chief.

Just like Ju Xinshui and Li Quanyi.

You can't directly use cultivation to meddle in wars.

"What if I make a move?" Chu Ke said disdainfully, "At most, it's just to lure Jiang Hanming over, but what can he do with me? He is not a powerhouse of the level of the Five Heavens Saint King." ”

"Besides, even if I, Chu Ke, face the Five Heavens Saint King, even if I can't defeat it, it will be more than enough to protect myself. ”

How many masters of the Saint King level are there in the Barbarian Witch Continent?

I don't know.

But Jiang Hanming is definitely not a Saint King, Chu Ke knows this.

Blood Ji made it very clear in the letter that the hidden Saint King level masters in the Barbarian Witch Continent, although they didn't know where they were, what their names were, and what they looked like.

But Jiang Hanming and Li Quanyi are not among them.

Since he is not a holy king, there is nothing to fear.

If you want to kill Chu Ke now, a Nirvana master like the Demon Venerable Palace Master and Wuyang Shu can do it, and a super-first-class level master who is stronger than the Saint King can also do it.

However, super-first-class masters are even rarer than first-class top masters, and there are only three people in the Desolate Ancient Continent, and one of them has just stepped into it a few years ago.

Moreover, in the expeditionary force, there are several masters who are stronger than Chu Ke.

"I don't know what Brother Yan is doing now. Chu Ke suddenly thought of Yan Nanming.

Yan Nanming is also an idle person, he is now a soldier in the Tianzi Battalion led by Wu Yangshu himself.

Yes, soldiers.

Yan Nanming was used to being free, even Wu Yangshu ordered him not to move.

Most of the time, he was left to wander outside the management of the army.

However, although he does not have the name of a general, Yan Nanming also has the reality of a general.

Calculating the time, it is time for the expeditionary force to take Guanhe City.

In Chu Ke's eyes, Guan Hejun has no combat effectiveness at all, and belongs to the type that will fall down at the first touch.

"First team! charge!" Yan Wei shouted.

The first siege force, consisting of 2,000 soldiers from the Zhenxi Army, poured into the walls of Ning'an City like a flood.

"Shoot the arrows!" Hong Wu ordered.

Dense arrows, like locusts, shot at the "flood" under the city walls.

The two armies handed over, and casualties occurred immediately.

At this time, there was still an hour and a half before Chu Ke and Hong Wu's planned retreat.

"Second team! charge!" Yan Wei shouted again, and a team of 1,000 people rushed to the front again.

As soon as the first team dodged the arrow rain attack in Ning'an City and was about to enter the white-knuckle battle stage of the city wall, the second team organized by Yan Wei launched a charge.

It seems that this time it was the general attack of the Zhenxi Army.

"Zhenxi Army! Die and Die!" the soldiers of the Zhenxi Army raised their arms and shouted.

The weapon in his hand shone brightly in the sunlight, and a cold light flashed, with a splash of blood.

At the same time, it also took away a fresh life.

"Chu Ke!" Hong Wu said eagerly, he knew that the time had come.

"Listen to my orders!!" Chu Ke said solemnly.

Boom, Chu Ke gave an order, and almost at the same time, several black shadows suddenly flashed on the city wall.

These black shadows, they are Chu Ke's 500 Xuanzi Battalion soldiers.

After the soldiers of the Five Hundred Xuanzi Battalion appeared, the fierce white-knuckle battle on the city wall instantly became a lot colder.

It's not that the intensity of the battle has decreased, but it has become more miserable, and more people have fallen in an instant.

So there were fewer enemies, and the walls were deserted.

"There are masters!" exclaimed many soldiers of the Zhenxi Army.

The killing speed of the soldiers of the 500 Xuanzi Battalion is too fast, and they are definitely not ordinary people.

On the other side, Yan Wei and Yang Chengdong, who were in the main formation of the Zhenxi Army, also saw a scene in Ning'an City, and both of them couldn't help but change their faces.

"Not good, there is an ambush. Yan Wei said.

"I didn't expect that Hongwu would actually have such a force composed of high-level cultivators. Yang Chengdong gritted his teeth and said.

After the soldiers of the Xuanzi Battalion appeared just now, one or two hundred of the soldiers under his command had already died.

With such severe attrition, he simply can't afford it.

"Hong Wu, you can hide so deeply. Yang Dongcheng's face was pale, and there was a hint of anger in his eyes.

"Can't wait any longer, the whole army will attack!" Yan Wei gave an order, and the remaining six thousand troops poured out.

The Zhenxi Army, with a total of more than 8,000 people, brazenly launched a general attack on Ning'an City.

Yan Wei and Yang Chengdong both saw that the hundreds of people in Ning'an City were all extraordinary masters.

Even if you are one-on-one with them, it is estimated that you will not be able to please anything.

But this is war, and the influence of the individual is limited.

Even a powerful army of cultivators would end up in the face of a powerful army that was dozens of times their number.

The number of people and the quality of the soldiers are the biggest battlefield advantage of the Zhenxi Army at the moment.

I only hope that in this battle, their advantages can be fully exploited.

"It's coming!" Hong Wu's eyes trembled, and the last moment was finally coming.

But at this time, there is still nearly an hour before the Xuanzi battalion that Chu Ke said comes to help.

"Hold on!" Hong Wu shouted almost with a trace of sorrow, pulling his throat.

At this moment, he also took up his sword himself, rushed to the very edge of the city wall, and fought with the enemy.

Flesh and blood fly, and with every flash of cold light, a person falls.

Cruelty, that's the only synonym for the battlefield.

The war had reached a fever pitch, and the walls had been turned into meat grinders, with countless severed arms and stumps thrown everywhere, and blood staining the stones of the walls into cinnabar.

Chu Ke and Hong Wu turned into killing gods, and each turned into a realm of death in one part of the city wall.

Especially Chu Ke, any soldier of the Zhenxi Army who was within five steps of him would turn into a dead corpse in a second, leaving a ground of meat residue.

Chu Ke, who had mastered the method of converting energy from the Nirvana Technique, was unable to directly convert his true qi into demonic qi for the time being.

However, he could use a very fast speed to turn the aura he had inhaled into the dantian into demonic energy.

With the Nirvana Technique to stimulate the demonic qi, Chu Ke's cultivation has reached the peak of the transcendent demon cultivator, and there is no need to worry about the exposure of the identity of the Immortal Venerable.

In time, Chu Ke can become a real Demon Venerable master.

"Kill, kill!" Hong Wu was also red-eyed at this time.

I forgot all the skills, the knife skills.

The only thing he could do now was to raise the knife in his hand and slash it down.

Hong Wu, who was numb from murder, suddenly regained a trace of clarity in his eyes.

Not because of anything else, but because he suddenly noticed that around this cruel killing, there was a chilling murderous aura that suddenly locked on him.

"Hong Wu! look at the knife!"

A roar like thunder reached his ears.

Although the surrounding environment is full of killing shouts, it is very noisy.

But this sound of Hong Wu looking at the knife, Hong Wu heard it clearly.

Without thinking about it, Hong Wu instinctively slashed in the direction where the murderous aura was most intense.

The sound of metal colliding sounded, and Hong Wu's knife just collided with a sharp blade coming from the side.

Hong Wu fixed his eyes and saw that a pair of eyes full of battle intent and killing were watching him under a pair of iron helmets.

The person who came was none other than Yan Wei, one of the two main generals of the 10,000 Zhenxi Army.

Yan Wei's cultivation was the highest, transcendent late stage realm, and naturally noticed Hong Wu in the killing field.

So, he didn't hesitate to lift the knife and take Hong Wu directly.

Hong Wu and he fought together in an instant, both of them were transcendent realm demon cultivators, and Hong Wu's cultivation was a cut worse than Yan Wei.

In addition, killing the enemy before consumed a lot of demonic energy and physical strength, and in the face of aggressive Yan Wei at this time, Hong Wu only had the ability to parry, and had no backhand power.

was beaten by Yan Wei step by step, and several times he was in danger.

"Hong Wu, you are hiding deep enough, take your life!" Yan Wei shouted.

With a touch of demonic energy, the knife in his hand slashed heavily at Hong Wu.

Hong Wu was about to block with a backhand, but Yan Wei's shot was too heavy, and his strength was close to exhaustion.

Under the knife, Hong Wu was chopped out like this.

"Give the head!" Yan Wei chased after him.

At the foot of his feet, the person turned into an afterimage and chased after him, wanting to give Hong Wu a fatal blow.

Hong Wu was born as a civil official, and although he also cultivated demonic qi, his time was far less than that of Yan Weilai.

And the exercises are much worse than those of Yan Wei with a background, and under many unfavorable factors, Hong Wu is finally facing the threat of death.

"Are you going to die?" Hong Wu, who was lying on the ground with blood in his mouth and couldn't move for half a minute, looked at the cold light on his face, and thought so in his heart.

Before the great cause is accomplished, the body dies first?
