The moonlight poured down, the crowd outside the official city supported the rest back to back, and the evening breeze blew through the sleeping people, taking away the worries and fears of the day, leaving peace and tranquility.

The black lights outside the official city were blinding, and the stars seemed to fall into endless darkness. The official city was brightly lit, singing and dancing, as if the war was thousands of kilometers away from them, and the guards of the city wall toasted each other and collapsed to the ground, scolding incessantly.

Suddenly, a spear cut through the darkness and slammed into the city protection array in a perfect arc, the city protection array emitted a blue halo, and after being attacked, it made a "buzz" sound, and the blue ripples spread out in the light mask, like a stone falling into the water, constantly shaking the waves.

The sudden change woke up the refugees who were resting outside the city, and the crowd exploded in an instant.

Countless spears flew out like a rain of arrows, the light mask was like a pool of rain in the rain, constantly rippling, the "hum" sound from the light mask came out one after another, the spear ran out of kinetic energy, fell under gravity, and countless refugees surrounded by the light mask were pierced by the spear, and their eyes were still full of fear and unwillingness before they died.

"Kill!" The deafening sound of Xiao slaughter came from all sides, yes, the rebel army attacked at night, intending to break through the defenses of the official city in one fell swoop when the defense of the official city was relaxed.

The rebel army rushed in like a tidal wave, and the refugees outside the official city fell one by one like ears of rice blown by the wind in a rice field. People with nowhere to run cried helplessly, begging for mercy, but it was all in vain.

A large amount of blood was scattered on the ground, and then the blood vibrated slightly, emitting a faint red light, and then slowly dissipated, although the corpse was still lying in place, but the skin became extremely pale visibly to the naked eye, but all this was insignificant under the fire of the rebel army's attack, and no one went back to pay attention to it.

The refugees who had no way out were slaughtered in three hours, apparently the rebel rulers did not expect these refugees to be so numerous, and the siege and massacre took three full hours without the slightest hindrance, and the guards in the city were also fighting back, firing a large number of arrows to kill many rebels, most of the arrows were shot at the refugees, and the poor refugees returned to the west under the fire of both sides, and they could not understand what they were wrong with until they died, and why they suffered like this.

Although the first round of the rebel siege failed because of the refugees, the losses were not large, and the removal of the refugees as an obstacle would be of great benefit to the future plans.

With the retreat of the rebel army, the complete battlefield appeared in front of everyone's eyes, the corpses overlapped each other, all kinds of deaths were disgusting, the entire battlefield could no longer see the ground, and even hell on the periphery of the official city at this time was not as good as this, and the human body stumps were scattered everywhere.

A large number of fire arrows suddenly fell from the sky, because the blood sacrifice spirit gathering array sucked up the human blood, these corpses were extremely dry, under the burning of the fire arrows, these corpses suddenly ignited a raging fire, and the monstrous black smoke completely buried this scarlet city, and the city was not seen for a hundred miles, but there was still smoke for thousands of miles.

After another three hours of burning, the outside of the official city was like a white desert, and the one-meter-deep ashes hinted at how many innocent residents had died here.

The sky changed dramatically, the dark clouds rolled, the original clear sky, as smooth as a diamond sky has been hidden, replaced by a dark sky like the bottom of the pot, the wind roared, like thousands of souls in the unwilling roar, stirring up the ashes to flutter three thousand feet, the ashes of the sky and the earth made the people of Guancheng stunned for a moment, and then returned to normal, continued to sing and dance, celebrating the success of resisting the attack of the rebels.

The sky changed to blood, red raindrops fell down, and in an instant a torrential rain poured down, the sound of the rain was accompanied by the earth-shattering thunder, the willow trees fluttered their wicker, the peach trees flew their peach blossoms, the falling peach blossoms followed the rain containing the ashes to the distance outside the city, the heavy rain lasted for an hour, the earth was already scarlet, and the cries of countless souls dissipated with the cessation of the heavy rain, which was the last mercy of heaven and earth for them.

The Mansion of the City Lord

"Report to the city lord, the first round of the enemy's attack has failed, our side has no casualties, lost 600,000 arrows, and killed more than 300,000 enemies." The scout knelt in front of the door of the study, respectfully reporting all the news, of course, the refugees were also regarded as enemies here, in fact, they didn't know how many rebels had been killed on the front line, most of the dead were refugees, and it was night, for the sake of data, they estimated an approximate value to report.

"What about the corpses?" Liu Long raised his eyebrows and tightened his eyebrows, and asked sharply.

"The enemy has ignited it with a fire bolt, and it has been burned to the ground." The scout replied honestly.

"Nonsense!" Liu Longyang slammed the document on the table, "Where did the enemy army come from 300,000?" Even if there were no casualties in the flood, the peasants outside would only be about 200,000! ”

Liu Longyang stood up from the table and gasped for breath.

"Lord Castle Lord, spare your life! The small ones don't know, they're all front-line statistics, and the small ones are just responsible for reporting. The scout kowtowed vigorously, blood came out of his forehead, he trembled all over, and his eyes glanced at Liu Longyang from time to time.

"Rice bucket! A bunch of rice buckets! What use do I raise you? Pass my order, and those who lie about the military will be beheaded in the afternoon! Liu Longyang slammed it on the table, and the teacup on the table shook, rolled off the table with a sway, fell to the ground, and shattered into several pieces of wreckage with a crisp sound.

"Yes, yes, let's do it!" The scout knocked his head a few more times, and then quickly left the City Lord's Mansion.

"My lord, don't be angry, it's not good to be angry, no, aren't we the first to win." A woman with a slender figure walked in, her name is Li Yan (9 years old, 56 years old) and she is Liu Longyang's wife. This woman is extremely luxurious, and the jewelry on her body is extremely precious, wearing a long red dress, gold silk pattern, spirit stone inlay, and even wearing a pair of earrings with spiritual weapons.

"Oh, my little beauty, why are you here?" Liu Longyang instantly changed his smiling face and hugged Li Yan in his arms.

"The concubine came to see you, you were in the study all day and didn't go to accompany the concubine, did you have a weak feeling for the concubine?" Li Yan was coquettish in Liu Longyang's arms.

"Why did Little Beauty think that? Let's go, I'll go and walk the streets with you. Liu Longyang immediately coaxed.

The Outer City Lord's Mansion

Wang Xu sat on the right seat of the court, and below him were the leaders of the four major legions and the mobile group.

"The loss of about 1,000 people in this attack is about 1,000 people, and a large number of arrows from the enemy are shot at those refugees, but the strength of the Guancheng Protective Array is far greater than that of the outer city, and we have projected almost 100,000 spears, and its formation fluctuations are still stable." Zhang Goudan, the commander of the First Legion, said.

"This time the removal of refugees took far longer than planned, the original plan was to kill all the refugees in one hour, but it still took three full hours under the attack of the city defense army and us at the same time! But fortunately, the flames from nowhere burned the corpses completely, and the sudden rain washed away the ashes, and the next attack will be smooth sailing. Second Commander Chen Fengshou said.

"I know, pass on my order, the first legion will tear down the door panel and make cover for the second legion, and the second legion will attack the city protection array!" Wang Xu stood up and flicked his sleeves, his general temperament was self-evident.

Wang Xu looked at the retreating commanders, and his brows couldn't help frowning slightly, because he couldn't understand why the enemy army would burn the corpses, and wouldn't the corpses be used as a barrier to the siege.

At the same time, on a tall building, a young man dressed in white with a Confucian demeanor smiled slightly, his figure retreated, and gradually disappeared into the darkness.

The next day

A round of red sun emerged from the distant mountains, and gradually the red sun faded, but the golden sunlight sprinkled on the land, waking up the city in the sound of Xiao Killing.

A large number of rebel troops rushed towards the official city, their sound was like thunder, its momentum was extremely fierce, accompanied by dust, and one after another figures rushed out with the door panels.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! The sentinels of the city defense army roared heartbreakingly, and the sound of gongs reached every corner of the official city.

"Bow and Bow ready! Three, two, one, put! With the command's slogan, a dense rain of arrows slipped from the sky, making a "whoosh" grinding sound in the air.

The rebels raised the door panel above their heads, and countless arrows could not go further after inserting it into the door panel, and the rebel army saw that the results were so remarkable, their morale soared, and their speed increased a lot, and they rushed towards the official city with all their might.

The commander of the city defense army frowned slightly, but still gave the order to release the arrows, after a few rounds of volleys, the effect was very good, a large number of rebel troops have been gathered under the city protection array, the door panels are crossed together, forming a defensive area, and another team of men and horses under the door panel is frantically attacking the city protection array.

The large array kept buzzing to warn the city defense army, and the city defense army of the city tower was replaced by fire arrows, under the command, the sky was full of fire and rain, shooting like raindrops to the door panel defense below, intending to break the opponent's defense through the flames, but to the surprise of the city defense army, all the door panels were soaked in water, and when the fire arrows were inserted into the door panel, the water vapor of the door panel has been resisting the erosion of the flames.

The commander of the rebel army in the distance saw this scene, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but smile slightly, now it was only a matter of time before the city was broken.

The city defense army couldn't help but tremble with fear when they looked at the rebel army like a mad dog below, they couldn't pose a threat now, they could only watch the rebel army attack the city, thinking of this, the city defense army's heart began to gradually become unstable.

At this critical moment, a soldier lifted a stone pier, roared all the way to the city, in the shocked eyes of the city defense army, a small area below the formation was broken, the hit door panel was broken from the middle on the spot, the two rebels under the door panel were smashed into flesh, because the door panel was handed over to each other, so that piece was impacted and many people fell to the ground, exposing themselves.

The city defense army suddenly realized, and one by one showed a strange smile to the city......
