The Tianchu army continued to advance two hundred steps, the fifth wave of heavenly thunder fire bombs had not yet been projected, and the strong archers of the Vermilion Bird Legion had already drawn their bows and opened arrows, and in an instant, the sky was full of arrow rain, sprinkled towards the head of the Tiger Prison Pass, like a downpour, pervasive, and for a time, the Great Yan soldiers on the city wall were hit by countless arrows.

In the fierce firefight, a large number of casualties began to appear on both sides, and it was no longer the blind loss of the Tianchu army.

The battle was extremely fierce, under the threat of life and death, the Tianchu soldiers rushed up desperately, and ladders, ropes, towers, etc. continued to pour towards the city wall.

And the soldiers of Da Yan are also desperately defending and not retreating. In close combat, the blood flowed like a river, the corpses were like a mountain, and the tiger prison was closed, which simply became a hell on earth.

Under the Tiger Prison Pass, the two sides were fighting fiercely, and thousands of miles away, an elite cavalry was walking day and night, quietly heading towards the direction of the Tianchu Imperial City.

Just after the first watch, three hundred miles southeast of the Blue Dragon Legion, in a mountain col, 10,000 flame soldiers attacked in nine ways.

The three thousand rangers were divided into three routes, all the way to the camp of the Vermilion Bird Legion, all the way to the camp of the Xuanwu Legion, and all the way to the Tianchu Imperial City.

The 5,000 lancers had no way, all the way to the camp of the White Tiger Legion, all the way to the camp of the Blue Dragon Legion, and the remaining three roads followed the rangers to block the pursuers.

With 2,000 heavy cavalry as backup, they waited in the col for the return of various warbands and improvised circumstances.

The various teams attacked at night, and thousands of people wanted to attack the main camps and the imperial city, which was tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg, which could be described as bold.

But what Qin Tian wants is only to rely on his own speed advantage to harass and deter, not to fight head-on, as long as he acts quickly enough, he will retreat with one blow, and he will be thousands of miles away, and in the dark night, it is expected that the enemy will not dare to pursue rashly, so although this plan is absurd, the probability of success is still very large.

The teams were at full speed, hurrying to their respective battlefields, and two hours later launched a full-scale attack.

The battalions of the two major legions of Qinglong and White Tiger have been empty, and only a few sergeants maintain the daily cleaning of the camp.

In an instant, the fire in the camp was soaring, and the camp of the famous Divine Beast Legion turned into a sea of fire.

In the camp of the two major legions of Xuanwu and Suzaku, there are still 100,000 troops stationed, and the rangers cannot break through, but with absolute speed, they rush to the camp quickly, and quickly shoot several waves of rockets before the enemy organizes a counterattack.

Although they did not go deep into the camp, with the convenience of the crossbow, each soldier of the Flame Army sent out dozens of arrows, and a total of tens of thousands of rockets fell into the camp, even if they did not break their muscles and bones like the two camps of Qinglong and White Tiger, at least they would suffer heavy losses.

The two rangers, without fighting, immediately fled after a blow, and soon disappeared into the vast night, and the 100,000 soldiers of the two large battalions did not know how to chase after them.

Besides, this enemy attack came very suddenly, but it did not go deep into the camp, which was a bit of a temptation to the enemy, and the night was deep, who knew if there was an ambush in the distance? The enemy situation is unknown, it is better to be cautious, so it is not advisable to pursue, and the two rangers smoothly left the battlefield and galloped towards the assembly point.

The most dangerous of the armies was the one that Baili Changfeng personally led to attack the imperial city. Their men and horses did not attack the city or set it on fire, but set up a celestial lantern seven miles upwind of the city.

It is a lamp with bamboo strips as the bone, tissue paper as the clothing, a small basket falling, built-in pine resin, ignited, then the heat is filled, and then it floats up and rises into the night sky.

After the celestial star lantern rose into the sky, it followed the wind and slowly headed towards the imperial city. The defenders above the imperial city suddenly found that the lights in the sky were slowly coming in the direction of the imperial city, which was extremely bright and dazzling in the night sky, sparkling and shining, and it was very beautiful, could it be a strange omen from the sky?

Looking at the "celestial star" that flew slowly, the soldiers defending the city couldn't figure out their minds for a while, they had never seen such a situation. A general ordered someone to shoot down to see what such a strange thing was.

When the soldiers set up the "celestial star" to show the generals, it turned out that it should not be some omen from the sky, it should be done by manpower, and there was a small note on it, which read:

The tiger prison is lost, the divine beast army is destroyed, the heavenly soldiers are coming, the martial night is broken, and Tianchu is about to die.

"Boom", the general's head felt like it was about to explode all of a sudden, such a bold word, if you catch it, you will destroy the nine clans.

Don't dare to slack off for a moment, the generals defending the city immediately reported, layer by layer, and when the commander of the city defense army was woken up, the sky over the imperial city was already full of star lanterns.

The coach was awakened in his sleep, and he was still extremely irritable, but when he saw the note, he was like falling into an ice cave for a while, and he was immediately awake. He galloped into the courtyard without putting on his shoes, and when he saw the twinkling star lanterns in the sky, his scalp was numb for a while, and he immediately ordered to quickly assemble his troops and horses to search for where these flying lanterns came from.

Then he himself immediately changed his clothes and horses, and hurried to the palace to report it.

In the Tianchu Imperial City, it immediately became lively, and the city defense troops everywhere urgently gathered and stepped up defense. The four gates were opened at the same time, and a large group of people went out of the city to search for the source of the star lanterns.

And after each of the 1,000 rangers released a hundred celestial star lanterns, they immediately fled away, and when they were far away, the commander of the city defense army of Wuye City had not yet been woken up, let alone the pursuers.

The city defense army that went out of the city to search fought all night and searched for dozens of miles, but still not half a figure was found, and it was recalled after dawn, and the streets and alleys in Wuye City inexplicably dropped the wreckage of countless star lanterns and small notes.

Although the city defense army has dealt with a lot of celestial star lanterns overnight, because of the large number and very scattered, and there are some people who help spread it, there are still many notes that have been seen by the people.

There are a lot of people who eat melons to talk about, it is said that last night someone looked at the four directions of the imperial city, all showed red light, I don't know if it was a vision from the sky or any abnormal movement in the camp of the divine beast, anyway, it was extremely weird.

For a while, rumors spread in Wuye City, and people were panicked.

The King of Chu woke up in the middle of the night and was furious when he learned about the Heavenly Star Lantern.

When it was early in the morning, he received four urgent reports from the Divine Beast Legion one after another, all of which were raided by unknown enemy forces last night, and the two battalions of Xuanwu and Vermilion Bird suffered heavy losses, and the two battalions of Qinglong and Baihu were burned, leaving only a piece of scorched earth.

There was also a lot of discussion in the court for a while, and they were panicked.

Thinking that he was the king of Chu I was heroic, holding millions of male soldiers, and shaking the world, he never thought that he had just been taken away from the tiger prison that had poured the efforts of several generations of emperors, and overnight he was deeply rooted in the hinterland of the dynasty and ransacked the camp of divine beasts.

What's more, the imperial city, which was defended by hundreds of thousands of troops, was actually sown rumors all over the sky and had nothing to do, and in a moment of anger, he actually spurted out a mouthful of old blood in the court, and fainted on the spot.
