readx;?“ The city gate is a hundred meters away, and the brothers rushed over with me to take Jinling City!"

Hundreds of black-armored sergeants were the first to break through the barrier of the rain of arrows and fire, and at a distance of hundreds of meters, they had died nine times, and they didn't know how many brothers they had to lose along the way before they were lucky enough to get here. www.biquge.info At this moment, they came to Jinling City a hundred meters away, everyone's eyes were full of hatred and anger, now it only takes the blink of an eye, the black armor army can kill Jinling City, and then it is time for these black armor troops who are holding back their anger and Jinling defenders to fight hard. And hand-to-hand bloody combat is simply a dream for the Black Armor Army, because the natural physique of the Beast Clan is far stronger than that of the people of the Sacred Domain, so in the melee combat under the same cultivation, the average Sacred Domain soldier cannot defeat the Beast Clan soldiers at all.

On the walls of Jinling.

Lu Yifan's eyes stared solemnly at the black-armored army that was getting closer and closer under the city, and his face couldn't help but flash a touch of anxiety, and when he looked at Han Xiao beside him, who was still calm-looking, he couldn't help but have a trace of doubt in his heart: "Lord Han, shouldn't we prepare to go out of the city to deal with these black-armored troops?"

"Yifan, have you ever heard that if you want to successfully capture a city, its siege soldiers and horses must be at least three times or more than the number of soldiers and horses defending the city?" Han Xiao did not directly answer Lu Yifan's words, but asked with a smile to himself, "Do you know what the truth is?"

Hearing Han Xiao's words, Lu Yifan, who was confused, couldn't help but shake his head gently, at this moment, the sound of fighting and screaming under the city made him upset, and he had no interest in talking with Han Xiao at all.

"It's because defending a city can be dangerous, but attacking a city is about danger!" Han Xiao replied with a chuckle, "If you fight hard, if you don't have an excellent strategy, then the result will be destined to hurt the enemy by 1,000 and lose 800, in that case, why do the siege army need to be several times larger than the defender?"

"Lord Han means that the reason why the defenders of the city can fight more with less is because they don't confront their opponents head-on?" Lu Yifan asked thoughtfully.

"The way of soldiers is a trick, there is no absoluteness in everything, but of course it is the case in most cases!" Han Xiao nodded and smiled, "How many soldiers and horses were killed and wounded by Wei Li's meteor arrow rain just now?"

"This ......" Although Lu Yifan looked at the corpses all over the city, if he really asked him to tell how many enemies he had injured, Lu Yifan would suddenly have no clue.

Looking at Lu Yifan's eyes that were looking forward to the left and right, Han Xiao smiled mysteriously, and then slowly stretched out two fingers, and said unhurriedly: "Although our meteor arrow rain was overwhelming just now, in fact, the real loss of the Black Armor Army will never exceed 20,000 people, don't underestimate these 20,000 people first, it is actually very good to be able to kill 20,000 enemies unscathed in such a long-distance battle!"

"I thought that at least half of the 100,000 Black Armor Army soldiers and horses could be damaged!" Lu Yifan said with a wry smile.

"Now there are still nearly 80,000 people in the Black Armor Army, and don't forget that Lan Shixun is still leading an army of 170,000 to watch behind, as long as we go out of the city to fight, then we will face the attack of 250,000 troops, and all the soldiers and horses in our city add up to less than 80,000 now, I'm afraid we won't be able to survive tonight!"

"Is it possible to watch them attack the city?" Lu Yifan looked at the hundreds of black-armored soldiers under the city with a worried face, and at this moment these black-armored soldiers had rushed to the city gate and completely disappeared from the field of vision of the defenders in the city.

"If you want to conquer the city gate, it is definitely not something that a few hundred people can do!" Han Xiao smiled confidently, "Don't worry, you just wait and see what happens!" After that, Han Xiao no longer paid attention to Lu Yifan, but once again cast an incomprehensible strange gaze on the more and more black-armored troops who rushed under the city gate. Behind these black-armored troops, you can even see several huge chariots piled high with siege equipment and ladders slowly being pushed over.

"The enemy troops under the city gate are gathering more and more!" Ji Yuan looked at the battle situation under the city worriedly, and his heart couldn't help but become worried, he turned his head to Lu Yifan and said, "Yifan, I don't have to worry about Yi'er, I knew that I shouldn't have brought her to Jinling City, and I want to go down first to arrange for her to leave the city safely......

"Boom, boom, boom!"

Before Ji Yuan's words were finished, a loud bang outside the city wall suddenly reached everyone's ears, and the sound was so loud that the entire city wall shook violently, this earthquake-like landslide cracked Lu Yifan's spirit suddenly, and then he hurriedly rushed to the battlement and looked down, this look didn't matter, but the current scene made him surprised again.

At this moment, just two or three meters away from the Jinling city wall, there was a huge deep pit, this pit has a radius of nearly a thousand meters, and the depth of the pit is about more than ten zhang, just between Jinling City and Lan Shixun's army, like a moat that effectively blocks the confrontation of soldiers and horses on both sides.

And the most unexpected thing is that at this moment, in this huge deep pit, there are tens of thousands of sharp knives and steel thorns inserted upside down, and now the same tens of thousands of black-armored troops together with siege equipment, chariots and other objects have fallen into the huge pit together, the sharp knives and steel thorns inserted upside down in the pit are full of black-armored soldiers, some have been killed, and most of them have not yet lost their breath, but their bodies are full of sharp knives and steel thorns, as if they were nailed to the huge pit, they can't move, and they can only keep letting out bursts of heart-rending wails.

What is shocking is that in this huge deep pit, the red blood is spreading and growing at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the blood that is still steaming is flowing out of the bodies of those black-armored soldiers who cannot fall into the pit, and the smell of blood permeates this heaven and earth, coupled with the hellish scene in front of them, people can't help but feel a violent churn in their stomachs. Until this moment, there are still many black-armored soldiers who can't stop and continue to fall into the huge pit, continuing the nightmare of this demonic hell.

"This ......" Lu Yifan looked at this scene under the city with shocked eyes, "This giant pit is ......"

"I had secretly dug it before I left Jinling City!" Han Xiao explained calmly, as if he was not moved at all by the tragic situation under the city, "After ambushing this deep pit, then order someone to cover it, ordinary people passing back and forth will not touch this mechanism at all, only after bearing a certain weight on it will it collapse, at least ten thousand people will step on it together!" Han Xiao smirked, " Coupled with the siege equipment and chariots of the Black Armor Army, it is not much different from the time I expected to ambush!"

As soon as Han Xiao's words came out, Lu Yifan and the others were all shocked and speechless.

"Now you can send some soldiers and horses to open the city gate to deal with those black-armored troops who have just successfully walked through the huge pit!" Han Xiao suddenly changed his words, "I just roughly counted that there should be two or three thousand people, if your injuries are not healed, don't go out in person, just let your friends take five thousand people out to clean up the mess!"

"I'll go!" Xie Yun took the initiative to ask for his life, a fierce light appeared in his eyes, "I am the heir of the Xie family, my father and the uncles of the Xie Ziying died in the hands of the Black Armor Army back then, this time I finally have a chance to take revenge!"

"Okay!" Han Xiao nodded in agreement, "Xie Yang gave birth to a good son!haha......"

"Xie Yun, be careful!" Lu Yifan instructed, "Bring Liu Meng and Chu Ding with you, and there will be more masters to take care of them!"

Xie Yun nodded heavily, and then turned around and walked down the city wall with a gun in his eyes full of excitement.

Looking at the black-armored soldiers who were trapped in the pit and life was worse than death, Lu Yifan only felt a shock and depression in his heart, this kind of scene of waiting for death was really unbearable to look at directly.

"Shoot the arrow!" Han Xiao suddenly snorted coldly, and then saw the overwhelming meteor rocket and the oil altar falling towards the pit together, and in an instant, the huge pit became a sea of fire, and the desperate wails became smaller and smaller under the burning of the fire, and soon everything in the pit turned into a piece of scorched earth and black charcoal, only the sharpened steel thorns that had been blackened were still standing in the pit, as if waiting for the next batch of unlucky ghosts.

In the rear of the Black Armor Army, Wei Li was watching all this.

"Bastard!" Wei Li was trembling with anger at the moment, and he kept shouting and scolding with foam, "Han Xiao villain!"

"Whoosh!"

Chu Lingtian led an army of 50,000 to the front of the battle, he ordered the archers to line up and release arrows on the city wall, because the distance was too far and it was from the bottom up, so the arrows they released had become a strong crossbow wood when they jumped on the wall, and the strength disappeared without a trace, for the defenders on the city wall, these arrows were simply like the people below threw them, and there was no lethality at all. Having said that, these random arrows still more or less disrupted the offensive of the defenders in the city, and also gave the black armor army under the city a chance to breathe.

"General Wei Li, I suppress the Jinling defenders, you quickly order the withdrawal of troops!" Chu Lingtian hurriedly shouted to Wei Li, "Now that your soldiers and horses have been lost, if you continue to fight, the whole army will be wiped out!"

"I have three thousand brothers under the city walls, and I will never let them be slaughtered alive and sit idly by!" Wei Li was already in turmoil at the moment, and he had no reason at all. I saw him glaring at the city gate with red eyes, where Xie Yun was leading five thousand Soul Sect disciples to besiege and kill the Black Armor Army like a cat playing with a mouse, this situation made Wei Wei like a knife, "General Chu, I continue to attract the defenders to attack, you take advantage of the time to take people around the big pit to rescue my brother!"

"General Wei Li, are you crazy?" Chu Lingtian said angrily, "What kind of joke are you talking about by risking tens of thousands of troops for the sake of just 3,000 people?"

Wei Li gritted his teeth and shouted: "I'm not a joke, since Lan Shixun sent you, then you have to listen to my orders, you will let you go obediently, otherwise take your people back now!"

"You ......"

"Go!"

"Bastard!" Chu Lingtian shouted angrily in a low voice, and then led his troops to detour towards the edge of the big pit, in fact, before coming here, Lan Shixun had clearly told him that attacking was actually equivalent to sending him to death in vain, but at this moment, when Chu Lingtian went to obey Wei Li's order and attacked, he couldn't help but feel a little annoyed in his heart, after all, these 50,000 troops were the brothers of the Northern Frontier Battalion who had followed him for many years!

On the city wall, Han Xiao noticed his movements the moment Chu Lingtian led the army to kill.

"Pay attention to both sides!" Han Xiao's eyes were like torches staring at Chu Lingtian who was leading the army towards the right, and immediately ordered, "The crossbowmen on the right side are ready, and when Chu Lingtian's men and horses rush into the range of fire, ten thousand arrows will be fired in unison, and they will not stop for a moment until they retreat from the enemy!"

"Whoosh!"

Accompanied by the sound of a series of arrows piercing the air, thousands of crossbowmen who had already been planted on the left and right city towers by Han Xiao in advance fired thousands of arrows at this moment, and the dark arrow rain instantly dissolved into the dark night sky, so that the Chu Lingtian army below could not see the direction of the arrows at all, and could only hear the terrifying sound of 'whooshing' constantly coming from all directions, this sound was as heart-wrenching as a call from hell.

"...... there"

"Poof!poof!poof......"

"Forehead ......"

Suddenly, some sharp-eyed sergeants finally caught the location of the rain of arrows in the sky, but before they could put the shield in their hands in the correct defensive position, the rain of arrows came with a bang, and the dense 'black spots' glowed with the cold luster of metal, covering the sky and the sun and falling in Chu Lingtian's army, piercing the bodies of many people in an instant, and the screams echoed in Chu Lingtian's army for a while.

"Defense! Pay attention to defense!" Chu Lingtian walked at the back and shouted urgently, "Connect the shields to form a sealed iron bucket, beware of stray arrows!"

"Rolling Stones ready!"

On the city wall, the commander in charge of commanding the flank defense urged the soldiers to release arrows back and forth, and at the same time shouted to the stone-throwing army behind him, which was already ready to attack: "When they are ten meters close, they will throw rolling stones, smash this iron bucket, and wait for the opportunity to shoot arrows!"

"Yes!"

Under the impassioned roar of the flank defenders, Chu Lingtian was actually dragged to the right side of the Jinling city wall and could not get close to the city gate in the middle of the city wall.

At the city gate, Xie Yun took five thousand Soul Sect disciples to kill the more than two thousand black-armored soldiers who had already lost their will to fight. But the sudden change just now made their mood fall to the bottom all of a sudden, under the barrier of a huge deep pit, they completely cut off the connection with the main force of the Black Armor Army, and they became completely alone, and what will be the fate of the lonely army? In fact, the moment the Jinling City Gate suddenly opened, these Black Armor Army already knew.

Xie Yun shot like lightning and danced through the airtight wind with a cloud spear, and his body shuttled freely through these disheartened black-armored soldiers like willow leaves in the wind, and all the places he passed fell down. The defeat was like a mountain, these black-armored troops could only fight the trapped beasts under the siege and killing of Xie Yun and the people, and some of them accidentally fell into the huge pit because they had the intention of fleeing, and they were instantly swallowed by the sea of sharp knives and fire below.

The fear in his heart made these black armor troops completely desperate, so with just a stick of incense, the five thousand soul sect disciples led by Xie Yun slaughtered these isolated and helpless black armor troops at the smallest cost. The most interesting thing is that when Chu Lingtian led the army to rush towards the city gate as if walking on thin ice, Xie Yun and the others had already withdrawn their troops, and there was no one at the Jinling City Gate except for the corpses of thousands of black-armored soldiers.

"Let's withdraw!"

Chu Lingtian watched the Jinling City Gate in the distance close again, gritted his teeth and shouted angrily, and then turned around and quickly withdrew with the army. Between this back and forth, Chu Lingtian's 50,000 horses were killed and injured by nearly 10,000 people, and this is the first time in his life that he has played with such grievances.

The smiles of Han Xiao and the others on the Jinling city wall formed the most stark contrast with the hideous appearance of Wei Li on the chariot.

"I'm going to kill you!" Wei Li's teeth were about to be crushed, which showed that he already hated in his heart, "I ......"

"General Wei Li!"

Just when Wei Li was indignant, an old voice suddenly came from a distance, and then he saw Hai Lao's figure appear strangely beside Wei Li, and at this moment, there was an unprecedented smile on Hai Lao's face. This kind of smile is very strange, it is the kind of weirdness that Hai Lao has never shown in front of everyone before, I can't tell what the deep meaning is, it seems to be proud, it seems to be relieved, it seems to be excited, and it seems to be relieved...... In short, it was so strange that Wei Li forgot to be angry for a moment after seeing Hai Lao's smile.

"Hai Lao, you ......"

"Let's go back to the big tent of the Chinese army!" Without waiting for Wei Li to finish speaking, Hai Lao said lightly with a smile, "Someone ordered me to call you back!"

"Lan Shixun, what does he want......"

"Hurry up!" Hai Lao interrupted Wei Li's words again, he never liked to wait for people.

"Old man?" Wei Li looked at Hai Lao with a hesitant expression, and the smile on Hai Lao's face at this moment seemed to be a little inexplicably terrifying in Wei Li's eyes, "What do you mean? Who asked me to go back?"

Hai Lao didn't say anything more when he heard Wei Li's words, but slowly escaped from his cuffs A white brocade handkerchief, this handkerchief was nothing special, but the two small red characters embroidered on the corner of the handkerchief were Wei Li, who was just about to be impatient, and the expression on his face was completely frozen at once.

"This time he's an old man...... Unexpectedly...... Come in person......" Wei Li's words were stunned, and he swallowed three mouthfuls of spit.

Because on the corner of that handkerchief, the word "Oriental" is embroidered!
