Chapter 959: Offensive and Defensive Battles
Lu Yi did not go to the City Lord's Mansion to discuss countermeasures as He Ziyan said, nor did he go to the direction of the city gate to participate in the defense, in the chaotic inn, he first arranged a hidden soul shadow array, and then put himself in it to silently pay attention to the situation between the two sides. Lu Yi has his own plans, he doesn't want to expose himself, and at the same time he wants to observe this kind of large-scale urban offensive and defensive battles to see what is different from the battles he fought in the sinkhole before, at that time he was mainly engaged in surprise attacks, and there are not many cities with defensive arrays in the sinkhole, Lu Yi wants to see how the other party breaks the formation.
The army of housekeepers and monks outside the city did not give much time to the city, and soon launched an attack on the defense array of the city, the He family seems to have a formation mage, and the scheduling and maintenance of the defense of the city is in place, although the offensive outside the city is very fierce, but whether it is a concentrated attack or a dispersed attack, it has been effectively blocked. The guards and monks in the city were not idle, especially the children of the He family could also form a battle formation to carry out joint attacks, although the power was not great, but it also posed a great threat to the low-level monks outside the city. The initial attacks of both sides did not use too high-level monks, and basically used fifth-order and below monks to start a war of attrition, the people outside the city had to consume the spirit stones in the city to wear down the endurance of the magic circle, and the people in the city were trying to destroy the opponent's living force as much as possible. The sky was brightened in this tug-of-war, the city protection array was still strong, and the casualties of the monks outside the city were not insignificant, after urgent consultations in the middle of the night, it seemed that He Ziyan and those seventh-order monks in the city who were still able to cultivate had found a way to deal with it or reached some kind of consensus, and He Ziyan led more than forty people to appear in the city again.
"It's coming, it seems that you have discussed how to die!" Guan Wenjie saw that He Ziyan led the crowd to the top of the city, his body was slightly straightened, and he still looked lazy, obviously not taking the other party in his eyes.
"Hmph!" He Ziyan snorted coldly, first checked the operation of the big array, and then said to Guan Wenjie: "Guan Wenjie, let me ask you one last thing, there are hundreds of thousands of innocent people in the city, you really don't plan to let them go?" If you promise to let go of people who have nothing to do with our He family, not only will your housekeeper reduce a lot of casualties this time, but at the same time, it will not lay the root cause for you to be found by other families. If you promise to let the innocent people in the city leave safely, I can give up using the Great Array to fight you. Otherwise, we will have to fight to the death. ”
Guan Wenjie stretched out his little thumb and plucked his ears, as if he hadn't heard He Ziyan's words, this attitude couldn't be clearer.
Seeing this, the expressions of many monks behind He Ziyan were obviously a little depressed, and the last glimmer of hope that they might still have was completely shattered. He Ziyan glanced back at the people behind him and said, "Then, let's fight!"
The real battle began, and neither side had invested too many troops before, but now the main forces of the city were all unveiled, and the butler's attack had officially begun. The two gates of the city were attacked by nearly 10,000 monks at the same time, and this time the forces below the seventh order were already all the forces below the seventh order, the seventh-order monks and the spiritual monks, and that was the power that would be put in after the final decision, so both sides had no intention of ending.
The heavenly and underground spiritual lights bombarded the thick light curtain of the large protective array, full of colors, different thicknesses, and different shapes, and the monks in the city were not willing to be beaten passively, and also launched a counterattack, and the spells of the two sides collided in the air, and the earthquake trembled. After all, the besieging side of the city was full of people, and they came prepared, their actions were neat, and the tacit understanding was skillful; although there were many monks in the city who joined the ranks of fighting against foreign enemies, they were improvised, and there was no skilled cooperation, and they lacked effective organization, and they were tired of coping with a hammer in the east and a mallet in the west, so the superiority of the two sides was quickly separated.
Seeing that the defenders of the city had been completely crushed, Guan Wenjie raised his hand and shouted softly: "Break the city!"
As his words fell, the two monks who were originally standing at the back of the team, about three hundred and sixty people, slowly moved forward, and stood firm by the river around the city, hundreds of people cast spells together, and began to brew a combined spell.
The defenders in the city had realized that the other party's move would definitely pose a great threat to the city defense array, and everyone was desperately attacking the team, but soon their attack was intercepted by the other monks in the steward, and they couldn't hinder the monks in the team at all, many people showed anxious looks on their faces, and some even began to turn their heads to look at He Ziyan and the seventh-order monks around him, expecting them to help. In this regard, He Ziyan was indifferent, and seemed to be extremely confident in the protective array of Bincheng.
Soon, the combination of the combined attack spells of the besieging side was completed, and a golden three-pointed two-edged spear the size of a hundred zhang appeared in the sky, and the huge three-pointed two-edged spear pierced a point of the large protective array from a height of hundreds of zhang, and it was visible to the naked eye that the large array was deeply trapped by this shot, but this was enough to make any monk below the spirit building terrifying and even the early stage of the spirit building monk could feel threatened。
The monks in the city were secretly relieved that the large array had not been broken, which also greatly boosted their morale, and they began to fight the monks outside the city more vigorously.
Lu Yi has been paying attention to the protective array of the city, but he didn't expect that such an inconspicuous small city actually has a sixth-order city protection array, and the person controlling this array is obviously also an expert, the defense focus of the dispatching array is very in place, coupled with a steady stream of energy replenishment, this large array has not shown any signs of being weakened after most of the night's attacks.
The combined attack technique of the butler outside the city failed to achieve success in three consecutive blows, and the offensive was temporarily weakened, and after such a long time of attacking, it was time to rest.
More than a dozen seventh-order monks stood up and began to attack the city protection array, they were about to test the strength of this array, and it was estimated that after the rest was completed, they would launch the final attack. The monks in the city were also making intensive arrangements, and began to divide their troops to deal with the attack at the front and rear gates. Both sides began to prepare for a more aggressive attack and defense that would come later.
But obviously, the monks of the housekeeper will not let the monks in the city have too much time to recuperate and calmly deal with their own attack, the attack on the city gate on this side has just stopped, and the attack on the city gate behind has begun, although He Ziyan has divided his troops into two ways, but he is still not at ease, and hurriedly led a group of seventh-order monks to the back gate to press the formation.
In Tungsten City, in a secret room in the City Lord's Mansion, two spiritual monks sat opposite each other. One person held a messenger in his hand with a solemn expression, and the other held a spiritual tea leisurely.
"Master Zhai, the summons for help has been received, so it proves that what the old man said is not a lie, right? Where to go, you have to make plans early, this time, our housekeeper is planning to move, He Ziyan did not open his eyes, in vain trying to go against our housekeeper, secretly colluding with our housekeeper's rival Zhong family, before the move, our housekeeper ancestor has spoken, we must completely erase the city from the geographical map, in order to knock the mountain and shock the tiger. The reason why the old man came to find the head of the Zhai family was that he had several encounters with the head of the Zhai family in his early years, and we talked to each other very speculatively, and the old man didn't want to see that the head of the Zhai family was affected because of He Ziyan. To tell you the truth, this time in order to deal with your four cities, our housekeeper has dispatched a total of eight early stage cultivators, except for the two who led the team to attack the city, the rest are all in teams of two to lead nearly a hundred family elites to ambush outside your three cities, as long as you dare to rescue, we will wipe you all out. The old man volunteered to come to the head of the Zhai family, just thinking of our old feelings, the old man still has a glimmer of hope for the head of the Zhai family, hoping that you can recognize the situation and not make that senseless sacrifice. After the man holding the spiritual tea spoke for a while, Xu was a little thirsty, and brought the spiritual tea in his hand to his mouth and took a sip gently, but the corner of his eyes remained on the face of the monk holding the communication talisman.
The man known as the head of the Zhai family was playing with the messenger in his hand, and there was no expression on his face.
"I have already laid a package ticket for the Zhai family master in front of our family ancestor, as long as the Zhai family master gives up the rescue of He Ziyan this time, or delays it for a few days before taking action to block others' truth, it is equivalent to the Zhai family master has made a statement to our housekeeper, and the Zhai family master will be our housekeeper's ally in the future, and can develop together with our housekeeper and help each other, and the housekeeper will never ask about any affairs of Tungsten City. Moreover, the Zhai family master seems to have been stuck in the early stage of the eighth order for a long time, if he can get the guidance of our housekeeper ancestor, maybe there will be a breakthrough, which is more affordable than any promise!" The housekeeper continued to lobby and threw out a very tempting incense bait, and sure enough, when the Zhai family master heard the last sentence, the muscles on his face twitched involuntarily, obviously moved.
"Alright, brother, I'll leave right away. My people and I will be stationed a hundred miles outside the city for a few days, if Brother Zhai does not go out of the city for three days, I will assume that Brother Zhai agreed to our housekeeper's proposal, and we will be a family from now on. When the time comes, I will personally lead Brother Zhai to our family to meet the ancestor and ask him to guide Brother Zhai in person. I hope that Brother Zhai will think twice and take his leave. The man put down the teacup in his hand, arched his hand at the head of the Zhai family, his figure faded, and disappeared into the void in a blink of an eye.
