The slings were accompanied by a rain of arrows, and while most archers were not strong enough to shoot their bows and arrows at the location of the army, there were always some wrestlers of exceptional strength, or, as in this case, with the help of siege crossbows. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

As for this distance, it cannot be avoided, because the most powerful siege crossbow can shoot siege crossbow arrows for a distance of more than ten miles when using the demon beast tendon as a string, so it is impossible for the army to hide in such a distance. However, such bows and arrows are a minority after all, and when the bows and arrows fly, there are naturally people in the army who are specifically responsible for defense to deal with them. As for those slings, they were also blocked by the small corps that mobilized the legions to attack. So the momentum seems to be great, but the actual damage and damage caused is still very limited.

However, this situation did not last long, and seeing several rounds of throwing stones in a row could only tremble the shield bombardment, but it could never break through. Xuanyuan Hao also knew that as a besieging party, he couldn't consume it like this.

In the face of this kind of fortified city with sufficient internal grain and grass resources and an extremely large number of soldiers, if it cannot be captured in a day or two, as long as the other side does not make obvious mistakes, the siege war will become a protracted war of attrition, which may take a month or two, and may even take several years.

As the former crown prince of the Chang'an Empire, Xuanyuan Hao still knows a lot about the strategic resource reserves in Chang'an City, if he only defends the city, the resources in it are enough to support ten or eight years without counting the loss of soldiers.

So when he saw that the throwing stone could not open the protective shield, Xuanyuan Hao nodded at Xianzhi beside him.

After receiving Xuanyuan Hao's order, Xianzhi explained a few words to the herald beside him, and while waving the flags again and again, three white-haired old men immediately walked out of the army.

Even Fang Li's face was very strange when he saw those old men, not because there were such old men in the army, but because Fang Li felt the incomparably powerful spiritual power fluctuations on the bodies of those three old men, and he actually felt a surging vitality power. This kind of power shouldn't have appeared even on a young body cultivator, but now it was even more strange that it appeared on these old men who were about to die.

And the old man was not alone, behind each of them was a team of a thousand people. When the three teams walked to the front of the formation under the leadership of the old man, they saw that the old man carefully took out a small golden figure of only three inches from his arms.

Just when Fang Li felt strange and couldn't understand what the old man was going to do with this kind of battle, the three old men actually pulled out a dagger from their waists at the same time, and inserted it directly into their chests without saying anything.

"This!"

The old man's actions suddenly made Fang Li at a loss, and the three old men pulled out the dagger again without changing their faces after inserting the dagger into their chests, and a hot blood spurted out from their chests, as if they were being pulled straight into the golden man in their hands.

In the blink of an eye, the golden man became the size of an ordinary person, with an indelible blood red in the golden color of the whole body, and the three old men seemed to be weathered at this moment, turning into a corpse-like existence, standing in place without the breath of life. Immediately, two people appeared behind them, carefully retracting the old man's body, putting it into the coffin prepared in advance and carrying it away.

Looking at the three golden men with a faint golden light in the field, when Fang Li was about to say something, the three thousand soldiers who had followed the old man out before pulled out the same dagger from their waists at the same time.

"Stop!"

Fang Li suddenly drank lightly, and was about to start to stop it, but Gu Haotian beside him had already noticed Fang Li, and immediately blocked in front of Fang Li with a flash.

"You're going to stop me!

Fang Li shouted, his eyes widened, the starlight shining in his eyes, the sword soul of Shanhe Yongzhen and the sword heart of Fang Cun were stimulated at the same time, and the unrivaled momentum rushed straight towards Gu Haotian, and all of a sudden Gu Haotian only felt that his scalp was about to explode.

"I'll take care of this shield, let them stop!"

Fang Li Shen drank that this pair of Gu Haotian issued an ultimatum, and the true yuan was full of drumming, as if he was about to do it if he didn't agree with him.

And Gu Haotian could only stubbornly reply: "Don't worry, they won't die! There is still a place where you are needed next! Calm down!"

Hearing Gu Haotian's explanation, Fang Xuanzhong's killing intent finally dispersed a little, and at this time, the three thousand people below also moved, and the dagger in his hand waved down without hesitation.

However, when he saw those people, he slashed the dagger at his arm, Fang Li couldn't help but think about it, but he stared coldly in the air indignantly, and at the same time, the eyes that looked at Xuanyuan Hao were also much colder.

And at this time, the three thousand people below waved their knives and slashed their arms, and countless blood lines flew up in the air, gathering towards the golden man in front of them, and with the continuous injection of blood, the golden armored giant gradually grew up, but after a while, the golden man became three giants with a height of more than ten zhang.

At this time, the three thousand people withdrew their arms, and simply wrapped their wounds with a pale face, this time everyone lost nearly half of their blood, if it weren't for the fact that these people had good cultivation in their bodies, and they had taken the pill in advance, just the blood loss might have killed them directly. But even so, these people completely lost their combat effectiveness, and to a certain extent, they also damaged the foundation of cultivation.

The golden man who had been sacrificed by an old man of the Yuan Realm, and who had thousands of people to provide him with blood and qi, had turned into a giant with a golden red body, and when he stretched out his hand, a huge weapon appeared in his hand, ignoring the rain of arrows in the sky and rushing towards the shield.

Rumble!

As the three giant hammers bombarded the shield at the same time, the entire Chang'an City seemed to tremble, and there were faint cracks on the indestructible shield.

......

Looking at the golden people in the field, Gu Haotian opened his mouth and said to Fang Li: "This is a forbidden technique of the Chang'an Empire, blood builds heroic souls! The essence of that golden man is the condensation of the soul of the once invincible general of the empire, and then a Yuan Realm monk sacrifices to provide it with spiritual wisdom, and thousands of people shed blood to provide it with strength, so that they can summon this invincible golden armor god of war, as the last power of the empire! Maybe one day I will become that golden man, and I don't know when someone will summon me again!"

Listening to Gu Haotian's words, Fang Li couldn't help but be silent, although the method of sacrificing people made Fang Li very angry, but hearing Gu Haotian's words, Fang Li didn't know how he should refute, or whether he had the right to refute.

......

While Fang Li was thinking, the power of the golden armor giant was extremely powerful, but it took a short time to shatter the incomparably strong shield, although there were only a thousand people to provide it with strength, but Fang Li's true martial spirit pupil was able to see through the void, in fact, every blow of the golden armor giant was like a military spirit, with the help of the strength of all the soldiers present.

When the protective array was shattered, the charge on the ground finally began, and countless soldiers shouted hooray and launched a charge towards the city walls.
