[The next chapter begins with the protagonist competing for world domination]

Eomote Castle

The 40,000 troops of the Shangguan clan defended the city and avoided the battle for the time being, trying to find a way to defeat the enemy, but the collective efforts did not find a strategy to defeat the enemy, and the situation was deadlocked.

The Shangguan clan wanted to avoid the battle, and Liu Kun, the commander of the 30,000 Guangming Army, did not want to avoid the battle, although the number of troops was 10,000 less than the enemy, Liu Kun was confident that the 30,000 army he led could defeat the enemy.

Since the enemy does not go to war, then we will take the initiative to attack the city, Liu Kun led 30,000 Guangming Army directly under the Jiangbiao City, and part of the siege equipment of the Guangming Army has also arrived, the hall master Liu Kun, the left deputy hall master Chen Yafei, and the right deputy hall master Du Rongyu stood on the top floor of a siege vehicle similar to the wall of Jiangbiao City, pointing to Jiangbiao City from afar.

On the wall of Jiangbiao City opposite the Guangming Army, Shangguan Hongbo personally commanded the troops in armor, and beside Shangguan Hongbo were Shangguan Yeshuo, Shangguan Yuebin, Shangguan Xiying and other five innate grandmasters, but, except for Shangguan Yuebin, who was a veteran congenital martial artist of the fifth order of the day after tomorrow, the remaining four people were all newly promoted innate martial artists after the uprising of the Guangming Sect, and their strength was only the first order of congenital.

Liu Kun, Chen Yafei, and Du Rongyu are also congenital grandmasters, but Liu Kun is already a congenital sixth-order, Chen Yafei and Du Rongyu are both congenital fourth-order, in terms of high-end martial arts, although there are more innate grandmasters of the Shangguan clan, they are not as good as the Bright Army in general.

"Drums! Advance! Liu Kun shouted loudly.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The war drums in the camp of the Bright Army sounded, and more than 10,000 Bright Army marched towards Jiangbiao City in an orderly manner, and the various siege equipment in the queue was also pushed forward by the people.

"Shoot the arrows!" Shangguan Hongbo ordered, and then thousands of arrows flew up from the city wall and flew towards the camp of the Bright Army.

"Raise your shield! Back! ”

At the front of the Bright Army, the shield soldiers raised the big shields in their hands to shield themselves and their comrades from the enemy's arrows.

One side is condescending to shoot, the other side is to shoot from the bottom up, which leads to the fact that in every wave of arrow rain, there will be hundreds of people in the light army column, and the number of people who hit the vital point and die is more than 100, but the defenders on the city wall are not even a hundred people who are shot by arrows, and the most people who die are only a few dozen, and these casualties are mainly the credit of the archers on the siege vehicles.

"Damn, speed up!"

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The frequency of the drums of the Bright Army camp was faster, and with it, the Bright Army advanced faster, and under the rain of arrows from the defenders of Jiangbiao City, the Bright Sergeant passed his comrades who fell to the ground with arrows, and quickly rushed towards Jiangbiao City.

"Trebuchet, put!"

Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!

When the distance was closer, more than ten trebuchets of the Guangming Army were powerful, and one by one the stones were thrown by the trebuchet to the Jiangbiao City, and some of the stones were smashed onto the city wall, killing and wounding dozens of defenders, although the trebuchet was seriously insufficient, but the deterrent power of the trebuchet was very large, and no one wanted to be stoned to death.

"Shoot the arrows! Aim for the trebuchet and fire the arrow! ”

The rain of arrows of the defenders of Jiangbiao City went towards the direction of the trebuchet of the Guangming Army, bringing huge casualties to the Guangming Army, but the Guangming Army that was advancing was more and more smooth, and the Guangming Army was getting closer and closer to Jiangbiao City, and standing on the top of the siege vehicle of the Guangming Army, you could even clearly see the faces of the defenders on the opposite wall.

After more than ten breaths, after the Guangming Army paid nearly 2,000 more dead and wounded, it was only ten meters away from Jiangbiao City.

After Liu Kun and the two deputy hall masters glanced at each other, the three of them came out from behind the cover and jumped up directly from the siege vehicle.

The next moment, Liu Kun, Chen Yafei, and Du Rongyu jumped onto the wall of Jiangbiao City, and Shangguan Hongbo wanted to order the three of them to shoot with arrows.

Liu Kun, Chen Yafei, and Du Rongyu, who jumped onto the city wall, were like no one, Liu Kun was holding two eight-sided copper hammers, Chen Yafei was holding a leopard tail gun, and Du Rongyu was holding a ghost-headed broadsword.

There was no need for Shangguan Hongbo to order, four of the five innate martial artists around Shangguan Hongbo came out and rushed towards Liu Kun, Chen Yafei, and Du Rongyu, and several ninth-order martial artists also followed to help, and Shangguan Hongbo was only one innate martial artist left by Shangguan Xiying to protect.

After nearly a quarter of an hour, both sides were a little tired, and Liu Kun could only lead the army to retreat and fight again in the coming day.

In this battle, the Guangming Army suffered as many as 3,400 casualties, and the Jiangbiao City defenders suffered fewer casualties, close to 2,100 people, but there was a ninth-order martial artist who was killed by Liu Kun.

Jiangbiao City is relatively good, the total casualties on both sides of the First World War are only 5,500 people, Yanjin City can be described as a real tragedy, in one day, the death toll alone is more than 5,000 people, and the wounded soldiers are even more, but Yanjin City only has 25,000 people, and the Guangming Army has 60,000 people, if it continues like this, Yanjin City may not be able to hold out for a few days.

Five days have passed in the blink of an eye, and the two battlefields in Zezhou are still continuing.

In the new round of battle, in order to take Jiangbiao City as soon as possible, Liu Kun will rush towards Shangguan Hongbo after jumping on Jiangbiao City, Shangguan Hongbo only Shangguan Xiying is there, Shangguan Xiying can only desperately resist Liu Kun and wait for other people's assistance, but the difference in strength between the two is too great, and in less than ten rounds of fierce fighting, Shangguan Xiying was hit in the abdomen by Liu Kun with a hammer, and was directly knocked out and vomited blood, and was already seriously injured, but it was also because of Shangguan Xiying's insistence, and other congenital rushed back in time to support, and Shangguan Hongbo's safety was guaranteed.

Liu Kun also lost the opportunity, and had no choice but to withdraw the army, but everyone in Jiangbiao City was anxious because Shangguan Xiying was seriously injured and dying, but fortunately, this time because of the great war, Shangguan Hongbo brought the best healing medicine in the clan, and the seriously injured Shangguan Xiying finally saved her life after eating the healing medicine.

Shangguan Xiying only saved her life temporarily, and the best healing medicine of the Shangguan clan could not cure Shangguan Xiying, according to the doctor's diagnosis, Shangguan Xiying may only have ten years of life left, and the strength of the martial arts will not be improved, and because of the injury, Shangguan Xiying is a congenital grandmaster at any time, and her strength is only comparable to that of the ninth-order martial artist after tomorrow.

If Shangguan Xiying's injuries are completely cured, unless they use a thousand-year elixir, but even the Shangguan clan, which has been inherited for hundreds of years, does not have a thousand-year elixir in their hands.

After learning everything, Shangguan Xiying's face was like ashes, Shangguan Hongbo comforted his daughter and asked Shangguan Xiying to rest well and then leave, there are still many things waiting for Shangguan Hongbo to deal with.

The next day, the news of the destruction of Yanjin City reached Jiangbiao City, and Dingxiang County was in danger!

After learning the news, Shangguan Hongbo's face was terrible, and finally Shangguan Hongbo had no choice but to issue an order to withdraw the army, if he did not return to help, I am afraid that in a few days Dingxiang County will all fall into the hands of the Guangming Army.
