"They seem to have retreated?" Duan Feng looked at the position of wind and fire and thunder in the distance, and began to slowly dismantle.

"No, the siege has reached this level, as long as they hold on for a while, they are likely to succeed, how can they retreat at this time?" Wen Bo looked at the rebels slowly retreating in the distance with a wary expression.

"And it's not like the style of the Evil Emperor, there's no way he's going to give up like that. Wenbo's mind raced, according to his previous experience, now the rebels should take the city in one fell swoop.

Duan Feng took three steps and made two steps, stepped on the battlements on the city wall and flew to the city gate tower, and as far as the eye could see, a piece of black pressure in the distance was converging towards the valley mouth.

"What's that in front of you?" Duan Feng turned over to Wen Bo's side, pointing to a group of things in the distance.

Wen Boyu's eyebrows tightened, and he looked at it fixedly, and said in shock: "It's not good! It's the beast clan! They actually formed an alliance with the beast clan!"

"Orcs?"

"It's too late to explain, hurry up and pass the crossbowmen and prepare for battle!"

Subsequently, the order was passed down, and under the originally thick city wall, twenty rows of small windows were slowly opened, and a crossbow machine stretched out from the window, which was the last line of defense of the city, which was originally to deal with the final blow of the rebels, but now it had to be activated in advance in order to meet the beasts.

Behind each window is a crossbow machine piloted by three soldiers, each of which can fire five bolts at a time, equipped with a thousand bolts, and a single salvo can form a network of three thousand crossbow arrows, which can cover an entire narrow valley.

However, the effective killing range of the bolt is only about two kilometers, so it must wait until the enemy is close to do so.

The most commonly used tactic of the orcs is the crowd tactic, and thousands of orcs wielded the giant axes and long knives in their hands, howling and rushing to the valley.

The sound of slaughter throughout the valley shook the heavens and the earth, the walls began to tremble slightly, and the stones under their feet jumped on the ground.

"Roar!

Several deafening sounds came from a distance, and two fierce babes more than ten meters tall shook their fat bodies and stepped on pieces of corpses to rush over.

Above him were two minotaurs and beasts, wielding a giant axe in their hands to direct the surrounding soldiers to charge.

"Put!"

With an order, the first arrow net headed towards the beast clan, Duan Feng clearly watched the sharp arrows fall on the beast clan's body, but those beasts didn't seem to feel pain, and the arrows all over their bodies still rushed forward, until their limbs were completely pierced by the arrows, and even if they fell to the ground, they still climbed forward.

Duan Feng now finally knew why every time the Orc Rebellion was quelled, the Terrans would pay huge losses, these Orcs were simply some monsters that didn't know pain, even if they had a few sharp arrows on their heads, they could still move forward for hundreds of meters without hesitation.

The first wave of attacks, five volleys, left thousands of corpses in the open space two thousand meters in front of the city gate, and the entire valley was filled with a foul smell of blood.

"Prepare arrows!"

The inside of the walls began to be busy, and every five arrows had to be loaded into a special fixture for the crossbow machine to be placed on top of the crossbow machine at once, and after each salvo, all three soldiers had to reload the empty fixtures, and the three of them had to swap positions so that one would not overexert their physical strength.

"Arrows!"

With a response, the commander issued the next command again, and the whole process was orderly, and six hundred crossbows were aimed at the orcs in the valley, ready to fire a second salvo.

"Air strike!"

With the commander's order, the city wall was suddenly covered by a thick shield, and countless crossbow machines were set up in the gaps to aim at the sky, and the windows in the upper part of the city wall quickly closed, which was the window that was most vulnerable to the attack of flying beasts in the air, while the lower windows continued to guard the beasts in the valley.

Duan Feng looked up at the sky, and thousands of giant two-winged flying beasts rushed down from both sides of the valley, spewing out clumps of corrosive slime from their mouths.

Duan Feng pulled out the Ice Sword and flew up to the city tower, carrying enough spiritual energy, and the sword body flashed with cold light.

"Go!"

A sword aura swept swiftly along the valley, and hundreds of flying beasts were cut in half by lazy waists, but they were then replenished by the flying beasts that followed.

"Oooo

Duan Feng stepped on the body of the flying beast and volleyed into the air, the cold ice sword in his hand churned up and down, the sword qi in the air was full of light, and instantly turned into ten thousand sword shadows, and countless flying beasts fell from the sky along with pieces of plasma and mutilated corpses.

"Too many!"

Duan Feng flew back to the ground, although the corpses of more than ten meters had been piled up outside the city gate, the attack of the flying beasts in the air did not weaken in the slightest.

"Knock knock!" Dozens of agile beasts on both sides of the valley in the distance slashed along the steep mountain wall towards the city gate, followed by countless two-winged flying beasts.

The orcs in the distance began to charge again, and this time more giant fiery beasts joined them, using their sharp fangs to make a dozen bloody paths through the corpse pile.

"Put!"

The crossbow machine in the lower half of the city wall began to attack, although the arrow net was only half of the original, but the attacking orcs could only come in a third of the original one, and most of the orcs could only climb the piles of corpses and struggled forward.

Although the beast clan attacked fiercely, and the trench more than ten zhang deep in front of the gate had been completely filled with corpses, the city wall was still stable, and the gate was still firmly in the hands of the officials and soldiers.

As more orcs fell in front of the city gates, the flying beasts in the air attacked more ferocentricly, and dozens of fierce beasts rushed from both sides of the valley to dodge the attack of crossbow arrows and climb up the city walls.

Without waiting for Duan Feng to give an order, more than 200 dead soldiers on the city wall flew down with swords in hand, and with the cooperation of crossbow arrows, they slashed the beast under the city.

Duan Feng had never seen such a warrior, they were not Qi Masters, but their body skills were so fast that ordinary Qi Masters could not reach them, and those fierce beasts seemed to never be able to hurt them, whenever the fierce beasts were about to approach them, they would suddenly turn into a puff of black smoke, and then appear in a safe range again.

At the height of the battle, Duan Feng could only see puffs of black smoke forming on the city wall, disappearing, then forming, disappearing again, followed by the screams of fierce beasts, when the attackers were killed, these dead soldiers suddenly returned to their original positions and escaped into the city wall.

Wen Bo flew down from the sky and stood beside Duan Feng, the two looked at each other, "It seems that it can't be dragged on like this." ”

Duan Feng immediately understood what Wen Bo meant, so he yelled at both ends of the city wall: "Golden Net Array!"

As soon as the words fell, hundreds of black shadows suddenly flew out from both ends of the city wall, each of them pulling a hair-thick gold wire in their hands, the gold wire flashed with cold light, and formed a golden net in the air under the pull of hundreds of people.

Approaching the flying beast, hundreds of dead soldiers suddenly turned into puffs of black smoke, enveloping the golden net, which gradually grew larger, gradually covering the entire valley, and then continued to advance rapidly.

With the sound of crackling and burning and the miserable roar of the flying beasts, tens of thousands of flying beasts were cut into pieces by the golden net, and their corpses fell to the bottom of the valley with a thick slime, falling on the orcs below, slowly corroding and melting them.

The attacking orcs were accidentally wounded by their own people in the air, and more than half of them were killed or wounded, but they were still desperately charging.

"Woo-"

There was a low roar in the distance, and the attacking orcs began to retreat one after another, leaving tens of thousands of corpses behind.

The valley was filled with smoke and stench, and the orcs in the distance began to retreat, although they could still see their camp, but in a short time, they would not attack again, both sides suffered heavy losses in this battle, the fortifications outside the city walls had all been destroyed, and the city was also on fire, and most of the houses had been burned.

The soldiers inside the city walls began to change their guards, replenishing their crossbow bolts, and the damaged crossbow machines were torn off and replaced with new ones.

"If the enemy can still organize such a large beast clan to attack, it will be difficult for us to withstand it again. Wenbo looked worriedly at the valley mouth in the distance.

"Isn't there any other way? Won't reinforcements come?"

"Now that the fighting in various battlefields has entered a stalemate, it is difficult to draw troops to replenish here, and the rebels are so strong that the officers and soldiers in some places are simply a little afraid of war, and even throw themselves into the rebels. ”

"I hope that Han Qing's side can go smoothly, and if it succeeds, maybe we can support it for a while longer. ”

"I hope so. Wen Bo looked at the sky worriedly, it was already approaching twilight, and after a day of fighting, everyone didn't have time to eat, and he was also a little tired.

That night, the guards were re-established inside and outside the city walls, and the roars of rebels and orcs in the distance were heard endlessly, and the whole Xixia Town was enveloped in a panic.

Five hundred miles away, after a day and night of rapid marching, Han Qing bypassed the northern part of Xiaoyun Mountain and came to the outer ten miles of the East Fork Canyon to shade up.

According to the spies' report, the rebel convoy escorting grain and grass will pass through the Dongcha Canyon at the earliest, all they need to do is wait, after dinner, Han Qing has people ambushed on the slopes on both sides of the canyon, waiting for the arrival of the enemy army.

The valley ran east-west, stretching for hundreds of miles, and the cold wind from the northern desert poured into the valley from the western entrance, and a light rain began to float in the air, and the soldiers were soaked with rain, and a cool breeze blew, and they shivered with cold, only the fifteen hundred dead soldiers were motionless and half-squatting in the bushes, letting the cold wind blow.

"It's coming!" a soldier sprang from the valley mouth.

"Ready!" As soon as Han Qing's order came out, thousands of soldiers raised their bows and arrows to aim at the valley.

The rumbling of carriages in the distance got closer and closer, and in the distance, a fiery dragon meandered into the canyon.

Hundreds of wagons loaded with grain and grass creaked along the muddy road, guarded by two columns of soldiers armed with torches.

Duan Feng took out a signal chimney from behind him and aimed it at the sky, his eyes firmly fixed on the position of the convoy.

"Whoosh!"

A red flame pierced the dark night sky, and two nets of arrows erupted from both sides of the hillside, and the rebels in the valley fell down before they had time to react, and after a volley, the rebels reorganized their men and horses to prepare for a counterattack.

Murder erupted on both sides of the hillside, but suddenly, all the torches in the valley were extinguished, and the whole valley was enveloped in darkness.

The pace of the attack of the people on the hillside suddenly slowed down, and the people hesitated and groped, and someone accidentally rolled down the mountain, followed by a miserable scream.

"What's going on?" Han Qing was shocked!
