Chapter 60—The Crisis in the City

The soldiers of the Qi State at the head of the city were all ready at this time, and the 50,000 troops of the Feng Zhan Hui did not pose much of a threat to them in a sense, because although the army of the Feng Zhan Hui was elite, after all, they were just ordinary normal people, just a part of normal people with slightly stronger strength and slightly burly figures. Unlike the army ratio within the Dark Legion, all kinds of strange and unknown opponents, they have been fighting with the Dark Legion until now, and they still know a little bit about the situation of the troops within the Dark Legion, but even so, they don't dare to take it lightly. Now, seeing that it was the army of the Sealing War Society that attacked first, although they were under great pressure in their hearts, after all, the number of the basic army of the Sealing War Society was 50,000, which was equivalent to the defenders of the Qi State in the entire Hui City. Of course, the Qi army that is still guarding the city is extremely elite Qi soldiers, and they are also rich in combat experience, knowing that when attacking the city, although the 50,000 troops of the Fengzhan will be elite, they cannot all be put into the battlefield at one time, and the troops that are invested in the siege will not be many each time, and they are enough to deal with it.

The two main generals guarding the city, Feng Baiyi and Xia Qing, the two princes, are also well aware of this, although they were not in the army when they were young, but after all, they led the army with the master and uncle, and later at this critical juncture they were ordered to undertake the task of commanding the army all the way south, they did not have the shelf of the prince, but shared the weal and woe with the soldiers, and learned about the specific situation of the soldiers in the barracks every day, and established a high prestige and status in the army in just a few months. This is also their habit since childhood, although they are princes, they are not used to such a luxurious life, they still eat and live with the soldiers, and have established a great prestige among the soldiers. If it weren't for their prestige, I'm afraid that the army within the Qi State would have already been exhausted.

Of course, now Feng Baiyi and Xia Qing have no other way, and the situation they are facing in this situation will only gradually become more difficult, and in this case, they are facing the two sides of the Dark Legion and the main army of the Sealing War Society. Fortunately, the main force of the Dark Legion has not been dispatched now, only the 50,000 troops of the Sealed War Association have been put into the battlefield, and the attack on the West City Gate is not spacious, and the 50,000 elites of the Sealed War will not be many troops even if they are put into the battlefield every time. Because of this, the two couple's previous deployment was quite correct, and at least for now they were able to temporarily defend the city.

Anyway, although the army had already launched an attack in an orderly manner, Feng Baiyi and Xia Qing were still waiting on the northern city wall for the attack of the main army of the Dark Legion, as long as the main army of the Dark Legion did not move, they were not in a hurry to strengthen the surrounding defenses.

Feng Baiyi stared sideways at his wife Xia Qing beside him, and said in a low voice: "I'll go to the west to see the situation, I'll leave it to you here, once the main army of the Dark Legion immediately attacks, immediately tell me and mobilize the reserve army to defend the city." We can delay as long as we can......."

Xia Qing understood what her husband meant, and now they had received the news from the north, and the 100,000 troops who had left the country cooperated with the forces of the white-clothed Heavenly Maiden in the Qingming Mountain Range to defeat the 50,000 elite Fengzhan Hui army led by Qin Yue, the henchman of the Holy Emperor, and informed them of the news. Now, they are mainly stalling for time, even though the city will not be able to hold it in the end, but they have bought the most precious time for their sons and daughters, as well as on the Hanhai Demon Spirit Continent.

Now, the main army of the Sealing War Society and the main force of the Dark Legion are all concentrated outside the city, and the results they face in the Qi Kingdom are already obvious. Xia Qing nodded in a low voice to cater to her husband, and the two of them were each responsible for both sides, and the main thing to deal with was the attack of the army that was currently sealing the war.

The 50,000 elites of the Feng Zhan Society were dispatched at this time, and each of them dispatched three waves of 5,000 siege detachments in batches to launch the most critical and superb attack on the western city wall, and the situation here was still quite clear at this time. The elite army of 5,000 Qi countries, which had already been prepared on the west wall of the city, immediately dispatched and prepared to throw the required sandalwood and rolling stones from the city tower, and had already mobilized 2,000 crossbowmen to prepare for the siege detachment of 5,000 people of the Feng Zhan Society. The role that these 5,000 people have now activated is only to attract the attention of the Qi garrison.

At this time, the main army of the Dark Legion also began to move, hundreds of Demon Bat Riders and underground troops, as well as the Spider Riders who played a significant role in the attack on Xuancheng, also began to attack, and the main army of their Dark Legion attacked the north gate of Huicheng. Thousands of humanoid soldiers armed with spears and shields stood in front of the spider riders, protecting the most threatening footsteps of the hundreds of spiders, and under the command of the Bright-clothed Messenger with a giant hammer, the main army of the Dark Legion began to move in order, directly attacking the northern walls of the city.

The commander-in-chief on the north city wall is Xia Qing, because it is necessary to guard against the attack of the main army of the dark army, so the Qi army deployed here is the most elite and experienced soldiers, and the 7,000 back reinforcements responsible for the general support are also arranged under the nearest city cave from the north city wall to wait for orders. Xia Qing shouted loudly: "Two hundred steps, the crossbowmen are ready! The strong crossbowmen are ready, the bed crossbow is aimed at the position of the spider's foot, listen to my orders!"

With the experience and lessons of Xuancheng, Feng Baiyi and Xia Qing have probably found out some details about the Dark Legion army from the Qi soldiers who fled from Xuancheng, and know that the Dark Legion's raid on Xuancheng mainly relies on this Spider Legion, and through the most ordinary humanoid soldiers, it plays a key role in opening the way, so that the main army of the Spider Legion appears under Xuancheng City, and spits out spider silk to assist the Dark Legion's army to attack, and the soldiers of Qi cannot react in a short period of time, which ultimately directly leads to the loss of Xuancheng。

Having learned the experience and lessons, the two thousand crossbowmen on the northern city wall and the one thousand Qi soldiers responsible for controlling the twenty bed crossbows were ready, and the remaining 2,000 troops guarded around the various caves in the city wall, ready with wooden rolling stones and spears in their hands, to deal with the humanoid soldiers of the dark army who might come to the top of the city.

Xia Qing took the initiative to run on the north wall of the city and commanded the crossbowmen, "Ready, release the arrows!" The crossbow arrows in the hands of the two thousand crossbowmen fired in unison, and the arrows in their hands shot out together, forming a dense rain of arrows towards the humanoid soldiers below to suppress these humanoid soldiers whose combat effectiveness was not strong, and the shields in the hands of these wayward soldiers were not enough to block the light iron arrows in the hands of the two thousand Qi soldiers, and the two rounds of iron crossbow arrows were launched, and the thousands of humanoid soldiers of the Dark Legion who supported and dispatched below were all killed under this crossbow arrow. But even so, these hundreds of spiders with special riders had successfully reached the bottom of the northern wall of the city, preparing to capture the city through the same tactics as they had previously attacked Xuancheng.

However, after the previous Battle of Xuancheng, the remaining Qi troops told Feng Baiyi and Xia Qing all about every occurrence in the Battle of Xuancheng. It was precisely in this way that Feng Baiyi and Xia Qing were ready to fully deal with the situation and plan of the Spider Legion, once the Spider Legion approached the vicinity of the city wall in this way, the crossbowmen at the head of the city immediately began to change their tactics, raising the oil barrel next to them and smashing it downward. The two thousand Qi troops quickly put down the bows and crossbows in their hands and threw all the oil barrels around them down the city tower. At this time, this spider army has begun to spit silk and stick to the hole near the city wall, the powder keg smashed down the rocket and shot out instantly, the flame arrow ignited through the fire oil leaking from the oil barrel, and the burning rocket directly burned through the spider silk web established by these spider soldiers. The spider rider above was burned by the raging fire before he could retreat, and he had to retreat temporarily.

Previously, the situation in the city was quite complicated, although the military spirit was barely stabilized, but after all, it could not be fully stabilized, and now although the guards on the city were uniform, the military spirit was not stable, and in the face of the large-scale attack of the Dark Legion and the Sealed War Society, the situation here is really not optimistic. Feng Baiyi and Xia Qing, the two main commanders, led the Qi army to deal with all the dark legions and the army of the Sealed War Society that appeared here, and for a while, the banner of the Qi State at the head of the city was still standing, and the army of the Dark Army and the Sealed War Society could not capture it for the time being.

...........

And in the dark abyss of the dark legion lair on the Sinking Leaf Demon Spirit Continent, the six young people Feng Yuchong, Feng Shanshan, Yu Fei, Nangong Yun, Luo Yinying and Sun Hao are about to enter the two deepest places in the dark abyss after defeating the dark ghosts and breaking through the Sunshine Forest. The Dark Underworld and the Dark Temple, once they have passed through the Dark Underworld, they can go directly to the lair of the Dark Evil God, which is also the destination of their trip - the Dark Temple. In the Temple of Darkness, the immovable and unalterable bodies of the Dark Gods remained, and once they entered the place and destroyed the bodies that he was now unable to move and resist, and destroyed most of the Dark Legion's main forces, their mission would be considered complete. At this time, they didn't know that the real main force of the Dark Legion had actually left the Dark Abyss and headed for the Hanhai Demon Spirit Continent through an ultimate killing weapon they had recently created. Now left in the dark abyss, in addition to the vampire bat queen Detena, there is only the dark guardian of the dark underworld, the seven heads of the dark army have led most of the army of the dark army and the body of the dark evil god to the Hanhai Demon Spirit Continent, and now their task is difficult to complete.

The six young people Feng Yuchong, Feng Shanshan, Yu Fei, Nangong Yun, Luo Yinying, and Sun Hao were still moving forward, and after walking out of the Sunshine Forest from the other side, they had already come to the dark underworld. As soon as they entered, they felt the cold wind and the eerie white mist rising everywhere, and from the surrounding situation, it seemed that this dark underworld was an interior building, not an unmanaged dark cavern like the previous Oblivion Abyss. It's just that in this dark underworld, although all the red wall pillars and black bricks are built around, there is cold wind and white mist all around, and the passage in front of it is also a path made of bluestone slabs. If it were according to the original deployment of the Dark Legion in various places, there should still be an important figure of the Dark Legion with strong combat effectiveness here.
