"Pass my order, the infantry is divided into two teams, one is responsible for carrying heavy objects, and the other is responsible for attacking the rebels below with heavy objects, and the archers are ready, and when the enemy is forced out of the cover, they will release their arrows!" The commander excitedly issued one order after another.

"Yes!" The soldiers defending the city experienced the surprise of the willows and flowers, and one by one they became high-spirited and replied with their heads held high.

The commander walked slowly to the edge of the city wall, propped his hands on the battlements, and poked his head out to look down at the rebels hiding under the door panel below, and a smug smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

The moat was under constant attack from the rebels, and blue ripples continued to stir on the light mask.

"Brothers, if you work harder, the enemy's king won't last long!" A rebel squad leader shouted.

"Kill, brothers, for the sake of justice, fight to the evil government!" When the rebels heard this, their morale instantly rose a notch.

The city defense army on the city tower is in full swing to carry out the heavy object carrying operation, and the infantry team is forcibly requisitioning building materials in the official city, and they are carrying them to the city tower one by one.

"Quick! Don't be lazy! If I find anyone fishing in this troubled water, I'll throw him into the ranks of the rebels! The captain roared, urging the soldiers who tried to be lazy.

In about half an hour, the tower was already filled with piles of large stones and bricks.

"Listen to my orders, the first team is ready to shoot stones and bricks, and the archers are ready to release their arrows!" The soldier gave the order loudly, and he raised a hand, "Three!" Two! One! Put! The commander quickly sliced his hand off.

"Yes!" The morale of the city defense army was instantly raised to the peak, and its potential was higher than that of Tiangong.

A large number of stones were thrown into the sky, and under the effect of gravitational acceleration, they fell like meteorites, and most of the rebels below were obscured by the overhead door panels, and did not notice the anomaly.

Suddenly, the rebels under the door felt the huge impact from the door panel, part of the door panel was shattered on the spot, and the rebels hiding under it were killed on the spot. The door panels of a large number of rebels were shaken to the ground by the aftermath of the impact, revealing the rebels waiting in place.

"Shoot the arrows!" There was a heart-rending roar from among the city defense troops, and in the face of this one-sided suppression, most of the city defense troops fell into madness.

There seemed to be a dark cloud hanging over the head of the rebel army, and the rain of arrows in the sky made the rebel army have no way to escape, and for a time the rebel army screamed continuously, the formation was forcibly disrupted, and the soldiers fell into a state of panic for everyone, which also caused chaos on the battlefield of the rebel army.

The rebel army in front kept retreating, and the rebel army in the rear did not have time to retreat, and the two sides converged, causing great congestion and forming a wall of people.

With the mentality of helping to fight the water dogs, the city defense army once again fired a large number of arrows, which were like rain, continuously, and the arrows flew towards the rebel crowd, and shot into their bodies under their desperate expressions, and the blood flowed along the arrows, dripping to the ground, turning into a faint red light.

"Give me calm, whoever squeezes back again, the warlord will deal with it!" Seeing such an unfavorable situation, the leader of the rebel squad shouted loudly, trying in vain to stop the chaotic situation, but before he could finish his words, an arrow flew through his skull at a rapid speed, and his people were carried out under the great inertia, and finally nailed to the ground, blood mixed with brains sliding down with the arrow, leaving only a look of remorse on his face.

The Outer City Lord's Mansion

"Report!" A lanky scout rushed in and fell to the ground in unsteady.

"Scouts, please." Wang Xu hurriedly walked over and helped the scout up.

"Will... Checkmate... The enemy is cunning... Our army, under the attack of the enemy, has ... Defeat and retreat—" The scout's voice trembled in a hurry, and he reported the situation intermittently, gasping for breath, his melancholy color written on his face.

"Report!" Zhang Goudan, the commander of the First Legion, and Chen Fengshou, the commander of the Second Legion, also rushed in in a hurry.

"Tell me, both of you!" Wang Xu's voice had lost its previous calmness, and his speed of speech increased slightly.

"Big brother, my First Legion has suffered huge losses under the enemy's offensive, and it is estimated that about 3,000 killed and about 2,000 wounded." Zhang Goudan reported, his voice containing coldness, hatred overflowing.

"Big brother, the Second Army Corps has lost more than 4,000 killed and wounded more than 4,000, and the huge losses in this offensive have caused the anti-war sentiment in the army to begin to spread, and the situation is serious." Chen Fengshou's voice was low, his eyelids drooped slightly, and his gaze was glazed, and this defeat had a huge impact on him.

Wang Xu was silent, his face was gloomy, he slowly turned around, and let out a long sigh, this attack was originally to try the limit of the large siege and find out the opponent's strength, but nothing was found, but more than 10,000 people were killed and seriously wounded, and it also bred the trouble of anti-war sentiment.

"Pass my order, the whole army retreats!" Wang Xu gave the order, his voice was weak, and he had suffered a great blow, and he had a little difficulty controlling this temporary army.

"Yes!" The three of them took the order and slowly exited the gate.

Guancheng battlefield

"All legions obey the order and retreat immediately!"

With the orders issued one by one, the chaos of the rebel army gradually collapsed, and order was gradually restored, after the retreat of the rebel army, the battlefield was revealed, and the corpses and limbs could be seen everywhere, some of the corpses became pulp, some of the corpses were pierced into hedgehogs, the monstrous blood was permeated, and the smell was disgusting, but this was no longer strange.

Seeing the retreat of the rebel army, the city defense army showed not victory and joy, but one by one dissatisfied, obviously they enjoyed this one-sided slaughter, human nature is most easily reflected in extreme circumstances, in the city defense army at the beginning only helpless fear to later like a god to control the life and death of the enemy, the huge reversal awakened the deepest madness of their human nature.

Guancheng, the city lord's mansion

"Chirp~" Liu Longyang was teasing the bird that had been blue in the study, he accompanied his wife back from the market, and was in a happy mood, when suddenly the scout appeared in front of Liu Longyang.

"Report to the city lord, our army fought bravely to kill the enemy, and the commander even came up with a clever plan to defeat the enemy, and this battle won a complete victory and annihilated more than 10,000 enemies." The scout repeated word for word the reports coming from the front.

"Well, let's go down." Liu Longyang waved his hand, "Yo, little baby, I'll take you to the yard for a walk later." Liu Longyang said to the bird.

"Yes!" The scout was stunned for a moment, and then said that he didn't care about the city lord in this battle, which was puzzling to the scout, but it wasn't something he considered, he just wanted to mix up an errand and live a good life.

Liu Longyang walked into the courtyard, he took a deep breath, and walked in the courtyard with a birdcage in one hand.

Li Yan came out of the room, folded her hands on her lower abdomen, looked at Liu Longyang who was coming towards her, she turned sideways slightly, and saluted him, Liu Longyang laughed, and then hugged Li Yan in his arms.

"Madame, why do you need to do this?" Liu Longyang asked with a smile.

"After all, the concubine has a low status, and it is really unruly to not be polite." Li Yan smiled.

The courtyard was full of birds and flowers, and the garden was full of famous trees, and the two of them walked in it, enjoying themselves, as if the war had nothing to do with them.

Nanxi House, underground secret room

Jiu Rin Nanxi sat at the desk, studying the content of the wordless heavenly book, especially in the past few days, he saw that the book actually recorded the information about the Great Array of Sealing Spirits, which surprised him very much, this formation is of a very high level, the formation is extremely complex, and the demand for spiritual power is extremely high, obviously it is not something he can arrange.

He slowly closed the book and let out a long sigh of relief, and just then, the shadow guards emerged from his shadows, kneeling on one knee, one hand propped up in a fist, head bowed, conveying the message.

Su Han'er sat cross-legged on the bed, with a book on the history of the Yuanyi Continent on her lap, she held an apple in her hand, and took a bite from time to time, seeing that the shadow guard came to report the news, she raised her snow-white chin slightly, and a pair of eyes full of stars looked curiously at Jiurin Nanxi.

"What's wrong?" Su Han'er asked curiously.

"To my surprise, I originally planned to untie the city guard array tomorrow, but the rebel army caused a huge blow after this defeat, and there were many anti-war voices within it, and now Wang Xu is busy calming these things to stabilize the army's morale, and he may not be able to send troops in the next few days, it is best to hope that he can solve it perfectly, just take advantage of this incident to see his ability to deal with things."

"Will the postponement of the plan have a big impact?" Su Han'er was a little worried.

"It's okay, but one week is the deadline I gave him, and if he can't send troops within a week, I can only take his place in person." Jiu Rin Nanxi said lightly.

"I don't have to do it this time." Su Han'er stared at him with beautiful eyes and a faint smile.

"That's not necessarily, it depends on whether the powerful and Liu Longyang cooperate at the time." Speaking of this, Jiu Rin Nanxi showed a mysterious smile.

"Is there any situation over there Liu Longyang?"

"It's more abnormal, at first he was more serious about the war, but after this victory, he behaved very strangely, as if he thought that this war was already going to be won, although my shadow guard could spy on him, but after all, it was lurking in the shadows, and there were still many blind spots in the surveillance, I guessed that he may have contacted the royal family by letter, and he received a fairly satisfactory reply."

"I see, could it be that the royal family arrived early?"

"That's what I'm thinking about, and maybe it's because the amount of money allocated for this loss is much more than he expected, and I can't think of any other reason." Jiu Rin Nanxi frowned slightly.

"What are you going to do if the royal family arrives too early, but it will affect your plans to a considerable extent?"

"This is indeed a big problem, it seems that I need to prepare in advance, under normal circumstances, the reinforcements of the imperial city will take at least half a month to arrive, if the imperial city uses a strategic-level demon beast like Ryoma to pull the cart, it can arrive in about ten days at the earliest, which is a big trouble!"
