Chapter Seventy-Three: The Siege of the Imperial City

Apocalypse 909.

September 3rd.

Qingzhou fell, the Yinlin army invaded Qingzhou, slaughtered all sides, and the entire Qingzhou was destroyed.

The demons of Youzhou crossed the Silver Moon City, tortured and killed all the way, and the grass and trees did not grow.

On the 10th, the Yinlin army had just passed the city of Suzhou, and the Suzhou army had not had time to react, and on the second day, Suzhou fell again.

On the 15th, Yanqiu fell.

On the 19th, Xinzheng fell.

On the 23rd, Linlang fell.

On the 29th, the Yinlin army arrived outside Jiuli City, the Huolin Army Protector Army assembled, and the 300,000 army received the emperor's order to be sure to annihilate the Yinlin Army outside Jiuli City, and the Yinlin Army did not fight, only evaded.

On October 1st, the demons of Youzhou finally approached, and more than half of the 300,000 soldiers of Jiuli City had not eliminated the endless stream of demons, the soldiers were tired, there was a lack of large equipment, and everyone was in terror.

On the other hand, the Yinlin Army did not spend a single soldier, and Jiuli was in a hurry.

King Taikang finally had fear, and he didn't dare to linger on the wine anymore, and he was terrified all day long.

Until October 3, three consecutive days of fighting, the Huolin Army and the Protector Army had less than one-third of the remaining combatable personnel.

The Yinlin army cut off the rear grain road, and after three days of cultivation, everyone only looked at it coldly, and the lieutenant soldiers of Jiuli City were all frightened.

On the fourth day, the father and son of the Xiao family were tied to the city wall of the north gate of Jiuli, bloodstained and dying.

Night.

King Taikang looked at everyone coldly, and everyone was frightened and didn't dare to say a word.

"The demons are attacking, who can snipe these monsters?" King Taikang slapped the throne hard.

"Your Majesty, isn't General Xue leading an army of 300,000, can't he destroy those demon beasts?" said the first minister cautiously.

Xue Bai glared at the minister fiercely, and the minister immediately didn't dare to say anything more.

Xue Bai said coldly: "Your Majesty, the demons are too powerful, and there are many of them, and in the past few days, corpse soldiers have appeared one after another, and our dead soldiers have been resurrected as corpse soldiers. ”

King Taikang patted the dragon chair and glared at Xue Bai coldly, "I gave you an army of 300,000, and you can't even resist this little demon, haven't you always boasted of your strong combat strength? 100,000 Yinlin troops can resist for months, and your 300,000 soldiers will suffer heavy losses after resisting for three days? General Xue, what do you mean?"

Xue Bai broke down in a cold sweat, gritted his teeth and said, "General, if it weren't for the rebellion of those Yinlin Army, how could these demons be so presumptuous?"

Everyone frowned, and another old minister slowly walked out and saluted King Taikang, "The Yinlin army did not attack the city, how much food did General Xue ask for this year, how many soldiers and horses did he replenish, what is his intention?"

Xue Bai gritted his teeth, glared angrily, looked at the old minister, and sneered: "You old fellow, can't you see these demons? There are so many demons, and there are even flying snakes, Jiuli City has few siege equipment, what to fight, the soldiers are more damaged, naturally it is difficult to be spared, since your words are burning, why don't you go to defend the city?"

The old minister trembled with anger and pointed at Xue Bai, "You...... You...... You talk about military generals, where is your duty, and you actually retreat from the battle to shirk your responsibility?"

Xue Bai no longer looked at the old minister, and gave a military salute to King Taikang, "Your Majesty, all this is the ghost of the Xiao family's father and son, anyway, the Xiao family's father and son are still in the city, why don't you call and ask?"

The old minister's eyes were red, "For more than a month, the Xiao family's father and son have been tortured to the point that there is only one breath left, General Xue Bai, you did it yourself, don't you know it yourself?"

King Taikang frowned and looked at Xue Bai coldly, "General Xue, did you do this?"

"This ......"

Xue Bai paused, and was about to say, when the old minister smiled coldly, "Your Majesty, now the father and son of the Xiao family are tied to the north gate, the flesh and blood are blurred, and the clothes are not covered, and there is only one breath left." ”

King Taikang looked at Xue Bai coldly, "If the Xiao family's father and son have an accident, General Xue, you, the general, don't have to do it." ”

"The King's ......"

Xue Bai still had to argue, and King Taikang drank coldly, "Invite the general of the Xiao family as soon as possible, if there is any more damage, only you Xue Bai asks!"

"Yes, Your Majesty. ”

Xue Bai couldn't say it, he regretted it so much that his intestines were blue at the moment, and he really hated why he didn't expect the current result earlier, so he had to call his own soldiers to explain. Secretly hated that the Yinlin Army was not loyal to its duties, and it turned out that there was such a powerful move.

The entire court hall was silent, and only the wails in the distance were endless.

※※※

Jiuli North Gate.

The father and son of the Xiao family were untied and slowly put down.

"Them!"

Mo Xiaobai waved his hand to stop the Yinlin Army who were about to dispatch.

General Xiao Er had been tied up in front of him for a day, and he wanted to rescue the two generals of the Xiao family at night, but he didn't expect that Jiuli City would suddenly and carefully untie the Xiao family's father and son, and that cautious appearance was completely different from when he was in the daytime.

"What are they going to do?"

Mo Xiaobai frowned and looked at the people on the city wall in the distance, and in a moment, the people who seemed to be well defended were also slowly retreating, and a horse in the distance slowly approached.

"General Mo!

The soldier galloped at a gallop waving his hand and shouting at the crowd.

Mo Xiaobai smiled coldly and waved his hand, "Give me the bow." ”

The soldier next to him handed over the longbow when he heard this.

Zhang bowed and set up an arrow, and the longbow was instantly pulled to a full moon.

"Wait a minute. ”

Xie Xie immediately stopped Mo Xiaobai, who slowly let go of his hand and looked at Xie Xie lightly.

Xie Xie smiled faintly.

"Listen to what they have to say. ”

Mo Xiaobai sneered.

"We have been here for four days, and they have been guarding us for four days, guarding us as thieves, and now it is too late to say anything. ”

The soldiers on the city gate carefully untied the father and son of the Xiao family, but they didn't know what Xiao Rang said, everyone only supported Xiao Rang but didn't move, Xiao Rang only looked at Yinlin Army from a distance.

The cavalry approached, waved his hand and looked at everyone, but when he saw that everyone was looking at him with red eyes, he shivered and looked at Mo Xiaobai carefully, and lowered his head.

"General Mo, General Lang, General Xie, and General Xiao let you enter the palace together. ”

"What?"

Mo Xiaobai sneered, looked at the man coldly, gritted his teeth and smiled: "If I didn't kill you, it's your fate, this King Taikang is really not a good thing, and your Xue family's army is also a bad seed." ”

The soldier's face was flushed, and he turned his head to look at the city wall in the distance pleadingly, only to see Xiao Rang slowly raise his hand and make a gesture for everyone to go.

"General, this is ......"

Mo Xiaobai gritted his teeth and looked at General Xiao Er, who was standing faintly in the distance, and his heart was inexplicable, and he finally sighed.

Xie Xie looked behind him and said lightly: "General Molin, General Lei Ling, please ask the two of you to help us take care of the Xiao family's army, if we don't come out for an hour, you will directly take the Yinlin army to attack the city." ”

"Good. ”

Lei Ling and Mo Lin said lightly at the same time.

"Let's go. ”
