In fact, with the addition of the multi-armed clan, even if they just stood farther away and shot arrows, they still largely contained the offensive of the city defense army.

After all, no matter how strong the city defense army is, it is impossible for its personal strength to reach the realm of the grandmaster, even if it is wearing heavy armor and even wearing face armor, but in the face of the Flowing Fire and Earth Destroying Arrows with amazing attack power and lethality, it is impossible to carry it hard.

At the same time, although the elite of the multi-armed clan is not good at spells, they are quite superb in melee and long-range attacks, and their archery skills are quite good, even if they are thousands of feet apart, as long as the bow and arrow can shoot anywhere, it basically refers to where to shoot, and there will rarely be deviations. How could this not give the city defense army a headache.

The demon soldiers were happy, relying on the cooperation of the multi-armed clan, and even made a counter-charge towards the city defense army. Although it didn't take much advantage, at least it brought out the momentum.

It's not that there are no archers in the city defense army, but in this kind of street fighting, their archery skills are really not as good as those of the multi-armed tribesmen. As soon as these archers took out their bows and arrows, they were bound to be attacked by the multi-armed tribesmen, and the result was often that not a single arrow could be fired.

..................

East Demon Kyo, Imperial Palace.

Yu Hengtian, who had given up continuing his retreat and cultivation, was standing outside the dormitory at this time, looking at the formation aura that shrouded him in the sky above his head and the blazing flames attached to it.

Yesterday, when he received the following report, saying that the mountain protection array of Matou Mountain was burned by Xia Fan's fire, he also scolded angrily and absurdly, but he didn't expect that this fire would burn on his head tonight.

This really made Yu Hengtian feel ashamed of being slapped in the face, especially when he heard that Xia Fan outside had publicly challenged himself twice in a row, he couldn't help but feel murderous intent.

It's just that Yu Hengtian forcibly suppressed his temperament, and endured the churning battle intent in his heart and didn't rush out. Because he was waiting, waiting to see how the situation outside would change, and to see how the civil and military ministers, who had been humble and humble in front of him in the past, would react.

Yu Hengtian never doubted that he could easily kill Xia Fan, so naturally he could be more calm, and use this matter as a touchstone to test whether the Chinese martial arts officials in Beijing were loyal or traitorous.

"What's going on outside?" Yu Hengtian asked casually after walking back and forth on the steps outside the dormitory with his hands behind his back a few times, and suddenly stood still.

"Your Majesty, the patrol battalion and the city defense army are engaged in a battle with the enemy, and the current situation is not too fast. The chief attendant said respectfully: "The worshippers in the palace have gone out a little, but the enemy's strength is not weak, so they are still fighting fiercely." ”

"Hmph. Yu Hengtian snorted coldly, although he didn't say anything serious, but his dissatisfied attitude was quite obvious. "What is the reaction of the ministers in Kyochu?"

"They...... Most of them just ordered the family to guard their own homes, and nothing else. The chief chamberlain said cautiously.

"Hmph, I usually keep saying that I am loyal, but it really comes to a critical juncture, but I only care about my personal safety. Yu Hengtian said with a cold face: "I ordered the spies to keep an eye on each family, and anyone who knew that the palace was attacked today but was indifferent, and only cared about their own safety, made a list for me." ”

"Yes. The chief attendant responded.

Although not all of the civil and military ministers in the Eastern Demon Capital have a fierce loyalty, there are few stupid people. Especially when he learned that there was such a big commotion outside, when someone was attacking the palace, he was shocked, and when he was bold, he couldn't help but keenly smell the benefits of participating in it.

Of course, there were some more well-informed people who immediately found out the identity of the person who attacked the palace, and one of the leaders was called Xia Fan and the other was Yu Xiaokun.

Yu Xiaokun naturally no one knows that the dignified King of Pingjiang, in order to make him a prince back then, Yu Hengtian, who had just ascended the throne not long ago, fought with the Manchu Dynasty civil and military forces, and in the end, of course, Yu Hengtian won the final victory, but there are few civil and military ministers who dared to oppose him in this matter.

Regarding this matter, many people privately slandered, thinking that Yu Hengtian wanted to crown Yu Xiaokun as the king just an excuse, and the real purpose was just to see who was not the same as him, and then clean them up one by one.

No one knows what the truth is, but since then, there have been fewer and fewer voices above the court who dare to oppose Yu Hengtian.

As for Xia Fan's origin, someone soon found out, after all, this is not a big secret, and the person concerned has never tried to hide it.

When they heard that Xia Fannai was the son of the eldest princess Yu Mei'er, who died of a violent illness, many people who were still wondering if Yu Xiaokun was not good, but his prince went crazy and came to attack the palace.

Even many ministers who realized that the eldest princess, who was in good health, suddenly died violently, suddenly tasted something else from this matter.

The ministers who can mix with the court, whether they are civil or martial, there must not be a fool, of course, they guessed that most of the Yu Mei'er's death was strange. It's just that not many people really care about what the truth is, and more people care about what benefits they can get from this matter.

Soon, smart people took action, and many concubines of the civil and military ministers' families rushed out of the house with their private soldiers or family guards, shouting and shouting to serve the king, kill the rebellious ministers and thieves, and so on, and go in the direction of the palace.

A smart person is not just a family, and a family that is willing to give up is certainly not just one. In addition to the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs, there are also many demon cultivators who also moved, no matter what they shouted, they did the same thing, all of them wanted to show their faces in front of Yu Hengtian and show their loyalty, so as not to be liquidated afterwards.

Whether it is the minister of civil and military affairs, the private soldiers of the demon cultivation family and the family Ding Huyuan, the strength is actually not bad, and even some city defense armies are stronger, but when the private soldiers of each family appear on the street like a market, they are almost crushed by one-sided when they face the demon soldiers and the elite of the multi-armed clan.

So the rout is inevitable. It's just that it's easy for these people to participate in the war, but it's difficult to retreat, because whether it's the patrol battalion or the city defense army, they block their retreat, so that they either fight to the death or are directly killed.

In such a situation, chaos is inevitable, but it does not affect the big picture.

At the same time, not only the patrol battalion and the city defense army sent troops over in a steady stream, but even the army stationed outside the East Demon Capital entered the city after receiving the order.

As a result, the balance of forces between the two sides began to change dramatically.

At this time, the soldiers and horses released by Xia Fan were only 1440,000 at full capacity, but the soldiers and horses of the demon clan besieging them had increased to 400,000 in a very short period of time.

Of course, it is impossible for so many soldiers and horses to participate in the battle, even if the streets outside the palace are wide, it is impossible to accommodate so many people, but they are distributed in the streets and alleys leading to the palace, completely blocking all retreats, thus forming a situation of surrounding Xia Fan and his men.

Xia Fan stood in the air, looked around, and saw the battle situation in his eyes, not only was he not half panicked, but even a smug smile appeared on his face as he watched the enemy step into his trap.

......The fire dragon clone that had been hovering and flying above the palace suddenly swooped down, its claws poking out, and grasping at the aura of the formation.

After withstanding the continuous scorching flames, no matter how strong the formation that sheltered the palace was, it was already crumbling by now. And the fire dragon clone's attack at this time was not done indiscriminately, and the places where the dragon claws fell were all weak points of the formation's aura.

When the flames burst out, the aura of the formation became even more dim. However, the fire dragon clone swung at this time, and the huge dragon tail slapped on the aura of the formation with a thunderous momentum like a huge long whip condensed by flames.

"Boom ......" was like a cover, and the aura of the formation that protected the entire palace could no longer bear it, and it collapsed directly, and the formation nodes located in the palace crackled and shattered a lot.

When the aura of the formation collapsed, the flames that had been attached to it poured down towards the palace. Before the flames really fell to the ground, the temperature in the palace had skyrocketed to an unbearable level for ordinary people, and many strange flowers and plants burned directly.

"Ahh......h

Yu Hengtian, who was standing outside the dormitory, didn't expect the formation to collapse so quickly, a look of surprise flashed on his face, and then with a flick of his fingers, an azure bottle flew up.

The bottle is very small and delicate, but the pattern on the bottle is very intricate and exquisite, and there are nine dragons competing for a dragon ball in the rough sea. Whether it is the waves or the nine dragons, they are all lifelike, and people can't help but see that there will be waves rolling in, and the nine dragons will break the illusion of flying out of the bottle.

In fact, whether it is the waves or the nine dragons, they are all composed of runes, and they are so delicate that they cannot be seen without looking closely. Because of this, the pattern on this bottle is not only beautiful, but also powerful.

As soon as the bottle was sacrificed, the light on the bottle suddenly shone brightly, and the nine dragons also swam, setting off rolling waves. At the same time, a pale blue light rippled from the mouth of the bottle, and swept towards the flame that was about to fall to the ground, intending to put it into the bottle.

"If you want to collect my flames, then do as you wish. Xia Fan saw this bottle from a distance, and at the same time noticed Yu Hengtian with sharp and murderous intent, and when he sneered in his heart, Xia Fan immediately urged the flames of the sky to pour into the mouth of the bottle.

Yu Hengtian's appearance was somewhat similar to Xia Fan, so Xia Fan recognized it at a glance, but he didn't see the joy of his relatives, and some were just monstrous hatred and murder.
