The soldiers of the Holy Lotus Sect on the eastern wall of Xiangcheng City saw that the imperial army outside the city had not shown any abnormality for many days, but they were shocked when it was dark and late at night, and they hurriedly began to prepare for the battle and deploy strictly.

I saw that countless artillery pieces appeared in the imperial court barracks, lined up, and were slowly advancing towards Xiangcheng. Behind the cannons of one gate, there were court soldiers who followed the black press, each holding a musket.

With the earth-shattering siege noise erupting in the west and south of the city, the east of the city, which was originally a silent place, is now gradually beginning to be restless.

The imperial army pushed forward the artillery of Yimen Gate to two kilometers away from the city, and while spreading it to the left and right, and at the same time reloading the artillery with ammunition, which also caused the Holy Lotus Sect soldiers on the city tower to panic and put everyone in danger.

The soldiers of the Holy Lotus Sect on the eastern wall of the city, looking at the neat and orderly appearance of the imperial army, immediately guessed that the enemy army had prepared for the siege of the city in advance, and the enemy army was secretly carrying out it under their noses, but they were unaware of it.

After the imperial army aimed the artillery at Xiangcheng, after a busy reloading of ammunition, they heard an order from a general: "Open the cannon!"

Suddenly, a dazzling tongue of fire erupted from the muzzle of a cannon, and a dense "boom" sound also resounded through the sky, and dense ammunition like a shower streaked across the sky, vigorously hitting the towering city wall.

And one after another, the cannonballs fell not only on the city walls, but also on the heavy walls, and there were also cannonballs that smashed into the closed gates.

Under the sound of explosions again and again, the city wall in the east of the city trembled in an instant, and the screams continued to resound in the sea of fire above and below the city, and the flesh and blood flew sideways, the wreckage flew up, and the debris flew away.

Under the fierce artillery attack of the imperial army, the soldiers of the Holy Lotus Sect on the city wall could only hide and hide, and none of the soldiers dared to look up and look outside the city.

As a result, there was no one above the city wall, only the flames burned one after another, the explosions resounded, debris flew all over the sky, and the top of the city wall became a scene of fire, and the city tower had already collapsed.

When the artillery of the imperial army finished firing a wave, it suddenly stopped, and then I saw that the city wall was filled with gunsmoke, the sea of fire was raging, and the air was filled with the pungent smell of gunpowder.

Although the artillery of the imperial army attacked fiercely towards the east of the city, because the city wall of Xiangcheng was too tall and heavy, there was not a single damage on the wall, except for the uneven and decadent appearance, so that the city wall still stood between heaven and earth.

However, the strong and thick city gate has long been shattered under artillery fire. After the city gate was gone, I saw that the inside of the city gate was full of rubble, which still blocked the passage of troops from outside the city into the city.

And just after the artillery fire of the imperial army stopped, the soldiers of the Holy Lotus Sect above the city wall also poked their heads out tremblingly, looking towards the imperial army outside the city, wondering why the imperial army had stopped attacking the city?

And just when the soldiers of the Holy Lotus Sect were full of doubts, they suddenly saw that the artillery outside the city spewed out tongues of fire again, and the tongues of fire were connected, rumbling from outside the city, and the dense sparks like a shower of sparks flew towards their side.

In an instant, the east of the city fell into the world of fire again, and the screams continued to resound, with flesh and blood flying and debris flying all over the sky.

The direction of the imperial army's artillery attack this time was to bombard the Holy Lotus Sect soldiers on the city tower, and it was also bombarded in the direction of the city gate, no longer the aimless bombing like before.

It turned out that the last wave of the imperial army fired artillery into the east of the city just to calibrate the artillery bombardment position. After the calibration was completed, the aim was directed at the two locations above the city wall and the city gate.

However, because the imperial army was evacuated from Xiangcheng in a hurry, it did not carry too much ammunition, and there was no giant siege machinery, so that the imperial army did not dare to waste the only ammunition resources, and could only selectively bomb the weak places in the east of the city.

I saw that after the cannonballs exploded one by one above the city wall, it not only caused a large number of casualties among the soldiers of the Holy Lotus Sect, but also caused a sea of fire above the city wall, so that not a single shadow of the soldiers of the Holy Lotus Sect could be seen above the city wall.

After the cannonballs exploded at the city gate, the city gate continued to expand in all directions, and also smashed the rocks piled up on the inside of the city gate and flew into the sky, so that the accumulated rocks became less and less, until you could see the inside of the city through the cracks in the rocks.

With the artillery of the imperial army firing endlessly into the east of the city, unconsciously, the sky gradually brightened, and the east of the city suddenly became a gray world, the smell of gunpowder filled the heaven and earth, the city and the city were covered with fire, and the dust covered the world.

I don't know when, the rocks piled up on the inside of the city gate have been cleared by artillery fire, and the city gate has become a ruined and dilapidated appearance, but the original appearance of the city gate cannot be seen, as if it is a striking huge hole, thus revealing the road to the city, so that the imperial army outside the city can have an unobstructed view of the city.

As the sky became clearer and clearer, the artillery in the imperial army gradually stopped, and immediately after, I saw the soldiers in the imperial army rushing towards the city gate.

The soldiers of the Holy Lotus Sect on the city wall were enduring the baptism of artillery fire, when they suddenly felt that the artillery fire outside the city was no longer so dense, and when they were surprised and happy, they suddenly heard the sound of footsteps shaking the ground and shaking mountains outside the city, shouting "not good".

"Oh no! Oh no! The imperial army is ready to attack the city。。。。。。 The shouts of the Holy Lotus Sect soldiers resounded on the city walls.

When the soldiers of the Holy Lotus Sect on the city wall stood up one by one and looked out of the city, they were horrified to see a large area of court soldiers outside the city approaching the city gate in an instant, and they were startled, and they didn't have time to hesitate, and hurriedly shot and fired arrows at the invading enemy.

And just as the Holy Lotus Sect soldiers condescendingly shot and fired arrows at the imperial soldiers outside the city, the imperial court soldiers under the city were running in the direction of the city gate, and they were also radiating dense gunfire towards the Holy Lotus Sect soldiers on the city wall.

In an instant, there was a dense rain of gunfire coming and going outside the city, the crisp sound of "ping pong" resounded through the world, the frictional air was hot, and the soldiers on both sides were shot and killed one by one, but they were desperate to fight the enemy.

The soldiers of the Holy Lotus Sect on the city wall were anxious to shoot and fire arrows at the swarming enemy troops, and they were dumbfounded to see that some enemy troops had rushed into the city gate, and then they heard deafening screams and shots resounding in the city.

When I saw the imperial court soldiers pouring into the city along the dilapidated city gate, I saw countless Holy Lotus Sect soldiers galloping in all directions in the city, constantly shooting at their own side, blocking the progress of their own side to enter the city.

The soldiers of the Holy Lotus Sect on the city wall never expected that the imperial army would actually break through the city gate, and while trembling and shooting at the enemy, they also asked for reinforcements from other Holy Lotus Sect troops in the city.

As a result, while the imperial army charged into the city, the Holy Lotus Sect army came to the east of the city to reinforce it, thus making the city a chaotic scene.

After the imperial army rushed into the city gate, they opened fire on the Holy Lotus Sect troops inside the city and scattered in all directions, causing a fierce fire to break out in the east of the city.

After the imperial soldiers swarmed into the city, due to the strong resistance of the Holy Lotus Sect army, the imperial court soldiers could not continue to pour into the city, and they could only bloom and spread out on all sides, rushing towards the city wall while fighting with the Holy Lotus Sect army in the city.

The soldiers of the Holy Lotus Sect on the city wall, while listening to the deafening sound of fire in the city, shot and fired arrows at the enemy troops who were overwhelmingly coming outside the city, but they still could not stop the pace of the imperial army pouring into the city.

And just as the soldiers of the Holy Lotus Sect on the city wall were fending off the enemy troops swarming outside the city, they suddenly heard the sound of fire coming from the left and right sides of the city tower, and they were shocked.

Suddenly, the soldiers of the Holy Lotus Sect on the city wall were divided into two waves, while continuing to shoot at the imperial army outside the city, and on the other hand, they reinforced the staircases on the left and right sides, preventing the imperial army from occupying this favorable terrain on the city wall and inflicting a devastating blow to their own Holy Lotus Sect.

When some of the imperial court soldiers were rushing towards the stairs on the city wall, they encountered the stubborn resistance of the Holy Lotus Sect soldiers on the city wall, and their pace was blocked, making it impossible for their side to successfully climb to the top of the city wall.

From the all-out attack of the imperial army on Xiangcheng to the stalemate between the soldiers of both sides in the city, a day and a night have passed unconsciously.

Xu Yang stood at the door of the barracks, watching the bloody battle of the soldiers on both sides, and looking at the tragic scene of the east of the city falling into a sea of fire, and thought: "Our army has been attacking the east of the city for a day and a night, but I am afraid that we have already restrained part of the strength of the Holy Lotus Sect, right?"

Due to the sudden outbreak of fierce battles in the east of the city, the Holy Lotus Sect army in the city had to change its combat deployment and transfer part of its troops to the east of the city for reinforcements, so that the strength of the two battlefields in the west and south of the city was relatively reduced.

And when the strength of the Holy Lotus Sect soldiers in the west and south of the city weakened, it also further brought an advantage to the Heavenly Divine Sect army, allowing the Heavenly Divine Sect army to encroach on the Holy Lotus Sect army step by step, and constantly marching towards the city.

As a result, the Holy Lotus Sect's army gradually became passive and constantly retreated in the direction of the north of the city, causing the Heavenly Divine Sect to intensify the speed of occupying Xiangcheng.

And when the Heavenly Divine Cult's army overwhelmingly forced the Holy Lotus Sect to retreat to the north, the Heavenly Divine Cult also continued to occupy the western part of the city and the southern part of the city. What seems like a quick battle has actually been going on for ten days.

Xu Yang saw that his army could not occupy the east of the city, and heard the earth-shattering sound of fighting in the city, jumped into the air, looked towards the chaotic battlefield in the city, and was pleasantly surprised to see that the Heavenly Divine Sect had occupied most of Xiangcheng, while the army of the Holy Lotus Sect was constantly retreating towards the north of the city.

When Xu Yang saw a part of the Heavenly Divine Sect's army coming in the direction of his side, he fell to the ground and ordered the generals beside him, "Mingjin withdraw his troops!"
