Yun Fan pushed open the door, and Wu Lao and Nangong Li stood calmly in the flower garden, as if they had been waiting for him for a short time. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
"Let's go, just in case, Liu Qing and Xu Zhongda have arrived at Chengyang Tianxingtai last night, and now we have to rush over to meet", Wu Lao said straight to the point.
"Okay", Yun Fan nodded, he had already prepared for the arrival of this day, so his heart was calm at the moment, and there was not much turmoil.
Xu's martial arts training ground
Under the leadership of Xu Yuan, the first deputy general, thousands of soldiers stood in unison, dressed in fine iron armor, everyone looked solemn, and the breath faintly connected tendency, the scene was very spectacular.
"According to the news that Li'er has been exploring in the past two days, the Xu family and the royal family have tens of thousands of troops in the city, and they are gathered at important locations such as the city gate, the imperial city and Tianxingtai."
"What is quite peculiar is that the Xu family corps can unite to form a military formation, the military formation is quite wonderful, and the way of the formation is somewhat similar, it can unite the breath of the entire corps of all people, to achieve the effect of joining forces against the enemy, and even in the face of the Tianyuan Realm monks, there are two or three points of resistance, which can be described as a kind of war time of great destruction, especially the soldiers of the Xu family, which are famous for the tiger and wolf division of the two empires, with the assistance of these means, the royal family and the Xu family may have a good chance of winning", Nangong Limei's eyes flowed: " In addition, there will inevitably be a battle at the gate of the city, on which there are repeating crossbows, Yuanli ballistas, chariots, fireballs, falling rocks and other weapons of mass destruction, although it is difficult to pose a threat to high-ranking monks, but for an army of hundreds or thousands of people, the threat is still very great."
"As far as Li'er knows, Yin Zhongxian's army should not be as good as the Xu family's soldiers, but maybe he has other means, and the odds of victory may not be as good as the royal family and the Xu family, in fact, after analyzing so much, the key to the real decision of this victory is the battle between the Tianyuan Realm monks."
On the way to the Tianxing Terrace in the center of the city, Nangong told the story of several family treasures.
"It seems that you girl hasn't been idle in the past two days", Wu Lao said with a surprised face, and his heart became more and more satisfied with his granddaughter.
"Knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent, a hundred battles will not be defeated", Nangong Li smiled and said: "Li'er knows far more than this, Tianxingtai is divided into upper star platform and lower star platform, Shangxing platform is the eye of the great array to protect the country, the Xu family has already set up heavy troops to defend, among which there are no less than a few monks in the Spirit Realm, as for the lower star platform, half of the area is currently occupied by Yin Zhongxian's people, and it is the upper star platform that we want to defend on this trip."
Under Nangong Li's patient narration, the three of them walked through the streets and approached Tianxingtai.
At this moment, the city is full of murderous intentions, the former prosperous and endless crowd has all disappeared, from time to time a few people to see the lively rush to the street, but when they find the soldiers passing in a neat line, they are often frightened and pale, and they hide one after another, and they dare not wander around.
Although a large number of people have left the imperial city in recent days, there are still many people who have stayed, and many of them are not afraid of death, gathered at the inn restaurant to discuss the situation in the imperial city, and the scene is quite lively.
"Guess what, the royal Xu family and Prime Minister Yin, which side will win?", a tall and thin man said with a big grin in his hand.
"Of course it's the royal family, do you want Yin Zhongxian, a chaotic minister and thief, to usurp the throne!", the young man dressed as a Confucian said with a righteous face.
"Hehe, I'm optimistic about Prime Minister Yin, he has the support of the Xijing Empire, and this battle will definitely not be lost", a middle-aged man with gray temples seemed to have a deep meaning in his eyes.
"According to what Brother Tai said, isn't the Heavenly Star Empire going to change the sky", the tall and thin man put down the wine jar, and his face kept changing.
"It's hard to say, the royal family has the support of the Xu family, and the Xu family is a good soldier, so they may not lose", the Confucian youth shook his head, still unwilling to retreat.
"According to the magic plan of my Kun Daxian, this battle...",
"Look... Leave it alone the dog skin plaster, we say our"
......
At the end of the street, a huge bluestone square comes into view, on which stands a huge star platform in the shape of a five-pointed star, divided into two parts, more than 100 zhang wide, giving people a visual shock.
"This is the Celestial Star Empire's Great Array for Protecting the Country!", Yun Fan marveled at the majesty of this star platform, the lower star platform is hundreds of zhang wide, and the upper roof is also more than 100 zhang wide.
"Whew!"
But at this moment, a huge sound of breaking the air suddenly sounded, startling everyone in the city to look up, only to see a huge repeating crossbow rushing across the sky, stabbing fiercely on the march route of a group of soldiers.
Bang! The man turned on his back, the smoke and dust were filled, and a large pit appeared on the ground, which showed the power of the giant repeater.
"Kill!!"
In an instant, the first repeating crossbow ignited the fire of the entire war, and in the shocked gaze of Yun Fan and the three of them, there was a huge sound from all over the city gates, and the sky was full of flying crossbows, and the rapid and piercing sound of breaking the air resounded through the sky city.
The decisive battle of the Imperial City has officially begun!
"Why is it so fast, everyone be careful!", Wu Lao shouted in a low voice, the sudden outbreak of war caught him by surprise, and he secretly said that maybe one of the Xu family or Yin Zhongxian's camp failed to hold back.
At this time, a group of soldiers in blue armor stopped in front of them, and the first person shouted: "Those who come retreat, Tianxingtai has been taken over by the prime minister, the prime minister has an order, no one is allowed to approach, and those who violate the order will be killed!"
"Nonsense!"
Yun Fan and the three of them did not answer, but in response to the soldiers, there were three sharp sword lights, and the crowd suddenly let out a miserable howl of chickens and eggs, and they all broke away.
"Yin Zhongxian is moving so fast!", after defeating the soldiers blocking the road, Yun Fan's eyes were shocked, at this time, the lower star platform was surrounded by thousands of soldiers, and the situation was about to erupt.
"Someone forcibly broke into Tianxingtai and killed me", a small leader immediately shouted.
A group of more well-equipped soldiers came running, standing neatly and solemnly, without the slightest nonsense, squatting with shields in the front row, and stretching the bow Xuan to the full, like a crescent moon.
"Volley!", a captain-level figure said.
More than a dozen arrows pierced the air, and they also carried different yuan force fluctuations on them, and shot out.
"I'm coming!", Wu Lao stretched out a palm, and the majestic and condensed Yuan Force turned into a handprint, swatting all the incoming arrows away.
"Do it!", three sword lights slashed at a group of soldiers in front of him.
"Shieldman, defense!", the captain of the soldiers ordered again.
"Drink!", all the soldiers shouted, their bodies half-crouched, holding their shields high in front of them.
Three sword lights slashed on top of the shield, and the soldiers in the front row were immediately hit by the powerful sword qi and retreated one after another, and the formation was almost about to collapse, and the sound of a large number of shields cracking sounded.
"The enemy is too strong, form a formation to meet the enemy!", the captain of the soldiers shouted.
"Drink!", the whole group of soldiers moved and approached each other, and it didn't take long for the breath to faintly unite.
