Now that he has entered the city, Zhao Yulong can only understand why the strength of the previous general is so weak, and why this city gate is vulnerable. Because it's an empty city!

Yes, a completely empty city, there are not half living people here except for those soldiers who had resisted on the walls before. The city was in ruins, and all the houses and warehouses were destroyed, apparently deliberately by the enemy.

And after walking through this city, Zhao Yulong found a more serious problem, yes, there is no food here. All the grain was taken away by the enemy, and those that were not transported in time were probably destroyed, and even the grain and grass were burned cleanly.

What's even more hateful is that even the grass on the ground was not left for Zhao Yulong, and the huge city couldn't see anything that could be eaten in his stomach.

At this time, Yang Zheng also came in, and when he saw Zhao Yulong standing here, he also came forward and asked, "What's wrong with Brother Long?"

"I didn't even leave us a place to live, and this enemy really did a great job! Sure enough, in leading troops to fight, I won at the young, but I also lost at the young. Those catapults should still be usable, Yang Zheng, you go and ask those soldiers to repair them, at least we can last a few days. ”

"Yes!"

"After doing this, we will set up camp in this city tonight, and strengthen patrols in the city at night, and you and I will be on duty day and night. You patrol at night, I patrol by day. ”

"Yes!"

Seeing that Yang Zheng had already left, Zhao Yulong said lightly: "It seems that this is the sky that is going to die! After speaking, Zhao Yulong smiled self-deprecatingly, just remembering something.

Now that the soul power is gathered on the lips again, maybe the reinforcements can't hold it here, but at least they can know a little bit of news. Therefore, at this time, Zhao Yulong planned to use the sound transmission technique again, but this time it could not be transmitted again.

Not far away, in a legion, a young man was standing in the barracks and examining his army, and he noticed something unusual. I saw that he didn't panic, but just used his hands to cut off what he couldn't see.

"Hmph! It's ridiculous to want to pass this soul power out of my hand to seek help. It's just that this kid still has soul power, and it seems that I still underestimate his strength. But what's the matter, this time we have sent eleven legions, could it be that there are still people who can save him?"

The next day, as soon as the sky was bright, Zhao Yulong quickly got up and came to the city wall: "Yang Zheng, there was nothing wrong with last night! It's really hard for you, go and rest! Tonight is estimated to be a sleepless night, take care of your spirits, otherwise this battle will be a big deal!"

When he was really talking, he saw a burst of horse fame in the distance, and he saw a group of people who were pressed by the black, and now standing on the city wall, Zhao Yulong could only see the troops at the beginning, but he could not see the last troops, obviously, there were not many people.

Now that he has come to the city wall, there are still more troops behind him, which makes Zhao Yulong feel that this army is definitely not simple. Especially the middle-aged man standing in front of the team at the moment, which gave Zhao Yulong a powerful feeling.

Zhao Yulong hadn't felt like this for a long time, since the Nether, he had rarely met opponents, but now he had met them. The strength of the other party should also be in the Soldier Soul Realm, but I don't know what kind of realm it is, there is no doubt that he must be stronger than Zhao Yulong.

When the man came to the city gate, he was not in a hurry to attack the city, but he just looked at Zhao Yulong on the city wall and said, "You are the Dragon Emperor, right?"

"Exactly! Dare to ask Your Excellency?"

"Oh, I'm just a small character, and there's nothing you don't have to know about me. But if the Dragon Emperor really wants to know, it doesn't hurt for me to say it. I am the commander of the 16th Legion, my name is Iron Prison Knife, and I am the third oldest among all the legion commanders, you can call me the third!" said the middle-aged man and stroked his beard and smiled.

This looks like a simple smile, but Zhao Yulong knows that it is absolutely impossible for someone who can become the commander of the army in this Cloud Pressing Empire, especially the person in front of him who can still smile, and his hidden ability is definitely not possible.

"In that case, then you might as well let me call the third uncle, but I don't know what the third uncle is going to do when he comes to the city this time?"

"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be! You are the Dragon Emperor, although you are not the emperor of our country, but you are also an emperor anyway, how dare I let the emperor call uncle? But since you want to be called, there is no way. Since it's for the sake of you calling me the third uncle, the third uncle, I might as well tell you something. The third uncle came to capture this city this time and capture you alive and present it to the emperor. Since you and I have a friendship, if you take the initiative to go out of the city, I won't hurt you. Otherwise, if we go in, the sword will have no eyes, and if we accidentally hurt you, my heart will hurt the third uncle!"

This made Zhao Yulong even more wary of this person in the city. Especially the sentence that didn't dare to let the emperor call him uncle, and agreed to call it himself. When he heard it, he felt nothing, but Zhao Yulong could hear it, and he didn't regard Zhao Yulong as an emperor in his eyes.

However, Zhao Yulong didn't want to say it directly, but at the moment, he just sat down with some gestures to those soldiers, and then looked at the city: "Third uncle, don't you want me to die? If I fall into the hands of your emperor, I won't live long! Since you also said that we have a relationship, then it's okay for you to let us go? We just want to return to the land and never invade the land of the Cloud Empire for half a step again, what do you think?"

"This ......" Iron Prison Knife pretended to think for a while before he said: "It's no problem to let you go, it's not that the third uncle doesn't want to let you go! It's just that people can't help themselves in the rivers and lakes, and if you are released, you will survive, but I have to die! What's more, even if I let you go, you may not be able to return to the Tongtian Emperor Kingdom alive!"

This iron prison knife wise has now changed the dynasty, but he still said that he was going to the Emperor Kingdom, and naturally hoped that Zhao Yulong would be able to rush to the crown angrily. It's just that he still underestimated Zhao Yulong's temperament, and now Zhao Yulong didn't care about this, but just asked, "Why?"

"Because this time it's not just me who wants to arrest you, in order to capture you, our emperor has dispatched eleven legions. You say you don't have a big face? We only have sixteen legions, and eleven of them are here for you. To the east of me, in addition to me, there are two legions stationed in the rear, totaling 600,000 men! Do you think you can escape? So, eldest nephew, you should listen to the words of the third uncle and go out of the city and surrender!

"Surrender, I'm sorry, the last thing I want in my life is to surrender, I think the third uncle is going to be disappointed!" Seeing that those soldiers were ready, Zhao Yulong also decided not to talk nonsense with him anymore.

"That's not the way to talk about it! You're not giving me face!"

"Who are you, why do you want to save face!" As soon as the words fell, many catapults threw the magic guide stone outward.

When he left the West, Zhao Yulong always carried it with him. At first, it was used to capture the imperial kingdom, but I didn't expect the imperial kingdom to be so unbearable, and now it is used here.

To say that these magic stones are not ordinary, I saw that after hitting the ground, there was an explosion, and the soldiers who had successfully dodged these were blown up by the explosion.

This situation also made the iron prison knife a little surprised, but obviously he was not in a hurry to attack the city, and now seeing that the number of casualties was a little large, he hurriedly said: "Good boy, if you have a temper, let's withdraw!" But don't be complacent, this southeast, northwest, inside and outside are surrounded by us, and you have nowhere to go!"

"Yes, I want to see how many of you can have!" Although Zhao Yulong knew that this iron prison knife was telling the truth at this time, he still couldn't be weaker than him in terms of momentum.

Defeat the enemy, it is now dusk. There were no casualties on the army's side, but some ammunition was consumed, although it was not much, but it still made Zhao Yulong a little worried, after all, there was nothing in this city, so no matter what it was, it would be troublesome to use it sparingly, otherwise it would be troublesome when the ammunition ran out!

At this time, Yang Zheng had already woken up to the city wall, although he was not very used to sleeping during the day. But now that the war is urgent, I can't care so much, and everything is important to survive smoothly.

"Woke up?" After seeing Yang Zheng walking up the city wall with a team of soldiers, Zhao Yulong greeted him.

"Yes, Brother Long, you can go back and rest! We can guard it tonight!" Yang Zheng said that, Yang Zheng had already walked up to the city wall with a group of soldiers.

"I'm not tired, let these soldiers rest, tonight is very important, I have to stay on the walls, otherwise there will be no one to command the battle. ”

"Well, since Brother Long said so, I don't dare to say anything. But today we hear only the sound of our catapults, but not the sound of the enemy's fighting.

"Because they're in no hurry to take it, and they know as well as you and I about it. They can wait, and when we run out of ammunition, then we will be defeated! Do you remember when you captured Tartanburg? They just want to repeat that situation, but our roles are reversed!"

"In that case, why would they lead this army to attack the city?"

"Because they want to end this war faster, they know very well how vulnerable our country will be if I die. Jingrui is still consuming with the enemy, and only Meng Liang, Huyun, and Xiangyu will lead the troops in the imperial city. But the three of them are definitely no match for these sixteen legion commanders, so the most threatening one is us at the moment!"

"Understood!" Zhao Yulong said, how could Yang Zheng not understand the truth. After following Zhao Yulong for so many years, he still knows some about using soldiers, so what he says now is naturally clear.

"Okay, our enemy is coming, this time it's Ximen, it looks like they really plan to come all over the south, south, west, and north!" Zhao Yulong said as he led most of the soldiers to the west city wall.

Sure enough, as Zhao Yulong expected, this time there was another strong man in the Soldier Soul Realm under the city wall, or even higher, it may be from the Soldier Soul Realm. The age of this strong man is not young, his beard is already white, he looks like he has some fairy bones, and he is not wearing armor, but robes.

But it was such a person who gave Zhao Yulong a greater sense of fear, and made Zhao Yulong understand the horror of the entire Cloud Pressing Empire: "The predecessors also came to ask for my life?"

"Exactly! You have no way to escape, anyway, you will die, it is better to go out of the city gate and die quickly, at least I will respect you for doing so." And what is the difference between you now hiding in the gates and a turtle hiding in a tortoise shell?"

"I thought you were a respected elder when you were old, but you didn't want to be an old thing who was disrespectful to the old, but unfortunately you grew so many beards, but you still couldn't cover that ugly face!"

The old man wanted to provoke Zhao Yulong, but he didn't want to be provoked by Zhao Yulong at this time, but now he was also angry: "You! Sure enough, I don't know what to do, so if you want to die so much, it's better to die!"

Don't look at this old man's old age, he is very energetic in action, and now this command is also loud. At his command, the soldiers rushed towards the city walls.

However, instead of using siege pillars, they use ladders. Thousands of ladders had been placed on top of the city walls in the blink of an eye, and now the mighty army could be seen climbing from below.

Although the soldiers on the wall occasionally took something and threw it at the bottom of the wall, it was obviously of little use, and even if they were able to knock the people above them sometimes, it would not be long before the soldiers would climb towards it.

"If we let them climb up, we won't be able to do it!Brother Long, what should we do now?" Seeing that some soldiers on the top of the ladder had already climbed up and were fighting with the soldiers on the city wall, Yang Zheng was a little anxious.

Zhao Yulong didn't say much, just looked at these ladders, as well as the soldiers under the city wall who couldn't see the end: "It looks like the dishes we eat will be lighter in the next ten days, but I don't know that there is no oil in the food, can you get used to it?"

"Brother Long, when is it, are you still joking!" At this time, Yang Zheng was also anxious, although those soldiers who were afraid to come up had already been beaten down, but there were still so many soldiers below who were constantly crawling towards it, and if it went on like this, the city would be broken sooner or later.

But Zhao Yulong was not in a hurry at all, and while beating those soldiers down, he did not forget to pour a large amount of oil from the ring and pour it on the ladder. The oil was left on the ground along the ladder, and it looked like it was a waste.

At first, Yang Zheng didn't know what Zhao Yulong was doing this for, obviously wasting oil when food was already scarce. But soon, he understood.

The ladders with oil were wet and slippery, and the soldiers could not step on them steadily, so they fell. There is only one person on the top of the ladder if you are lucky, and if you fall down, one person will die. There are dozens of people on a ladder with bad luck, and the person in front slides to it, and the person in the back is overwhelmed by the person in front.

As a result, the ladder was difficult to climb, so the soldiers had to take off their iron shoes and climb barefoot towards it. Although this ladder is rough and piercing, no one dares to disobey such a thing as a military order, especially these lower-level soldiers.

Zhao Yulong looked at the soldiers who were enduring the pain and were about to climb towards it: "Don't stop like this, it looks like you need to add fire!" Yang Zheng, you and you let these magicians use fire spells, not to attack the soldiers, but to hit the place where there is oil. ”

"Understood!" Although I don't know what Zhao Yulong's heart is, since it was Zhao Yulong who said it, there is naturally no problem, Yang Zheng did the same, and threw a bunch of flames and burned them on those cloud ladders.

Originally, according to the material of the ladder, even if the spell was to burn, it would take a few quarters of an hour to spread. But now that there is oil on these ladders, it is different, and the flame burns directly along the oil.

Naturally, the soldiers with oil on their feet were not spared, but they were burned all over their bodies by the flames, and they had to run around, so that the fire spread to more places.

Gradually, the fire had reached under the gates, for the oil had flowed down the ground, and now it had strengthened a wall of fire before the wall, so that the soldiers did not dare to approach it for a long time.

Seeing this, the old man did not move: "What a strong man I should be able to use our eleven legions to arrest, it turns out that I am just a child who can only play with fire." Child, I didn't say you, you play with fire like you, and you have to wet the bed at night!"

"Really, then you are really incontinent!" Although Zhao Yulong was a little overwhelmed by dealing with these soldiers, there was still time to reply.

"You, at all, are just an ignorant child. I also want you to understand how to write this dead word! Prepare the magic circle, cover the water of the sky!"

The water that covers the sky, obviously this is another magic circle name created by the Cloud Pressing Empire. After all, only these countries would be so boring that they would cover the sky and suppress the clouds, but there is no doubt that this magic circle dares to be called Gaitian, and naturally it has its strengths.

Now I can see those magicians condense this spiritual power in one place, and I can see a tall wall of water pressing down here. The water wall is a hundred feet high, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it covers the sky.

If it were other magic circles, it would be really terrifying, but it was just water that made Zhao Yulong a little secretly happy. Zhao Yulong was originally congenital water, but now he is far away from the body, leaving only a yang soul, without the influence of Emperor Wu's innate fire, Zhao Yulong's control of water is more proficient.

Seeing that this wall of water was about to be pressed down here, Zhao Yulong concentrated his soul power in his hand, which was to make a gesture of pushing the wall of water.

The wall of water was directly pushed backwards by this strong soul power, and pressed on the head of the entire army. Although the power of this wall of water is not great, it also makes this army fall in all directions.

In this way, Zhao Yulong looked at the old man whose face was already blue under the city wall and laughed: "How is it?

"Count you brat ruthless! It's just that you don't want to be complacent, I just don't want to waste too many troops! Damn it, you have to die! Withdraw the troops!"

"Yes! Damn it, you have to die, old man, you're not far from death!"
