The heavens and the earth suddenly fell silent, and the attacking and defending sides all stopped together.

But only briefly.

Then there were dark clouds of thunder and lightning that gathered over the city. The dark clouds made the defenders of the city feel breathless. The sky, which was still bright above Tiantong City, suddenly dimmed.

As the clouds condensed more and more, a strange scene appeared in the sky.

Around Tiantong City, it instantly seemed that there was an invisible barrier out of thin air, enveloping the entire city.

The inside of the city was a dark scene, as if all the light had been sucked dry by the dark clouds, but outside the city it was still sunny, but it was never able to penetrate the slightest light into the city.

In addition, in the dark clouds that gathered in the air above the city and gradually turned into a whirlpool, the lightning flashed and tumbled and thundered non-stop, so that the ghosts could not help but feel a strange feeling of indescribable in their hearts.

The ensuing gusts of wind roared and rushed back and forth through the city, trying to blow away everything in the city.

"Yu Rong, withdraw it. Seeing this, Wu Zhiqi's heart trembled, and he hurriedly raised his breath, raised his head and roared into the air outside the city.

The words just landed, only to hear a roar in the sky, like a whip like wind and rain falling from the sky, around the entire Tiantong City non-stop;

In the blink of an eye, the sound of rain became louder and louder, and the ghosts in the city could no longer distinguish the rumbling sound that resounded through the heavens and the earth. The sky above them seemed to have collapsed, and the dense raindrops were swept away by the wind, like smoke and mist. It blurred the vision of the soldiers in the city, but at the same time, it brought a burst of death.

It is really feng shui in turn, and the wind and rain are not small, more powerful than the raindrops encountered during the night attack of Yuei before. And dense as locusts, the defenders of the city were immediately beaten by these bean-sized raindrops, their noses were blue and their faces were swollen, and they ran around with their heads in their hands. In a panic, they raised their shields above their heads to block the rainstorm that fell vertically.

If it weren't for the fact that they all had steel armor on their bodies to protect their bodies, the defenders would have already suffered more than half of the casualties at this time. But even so, the dense raindrops with no small strength beat them to the bitterness, and they all reluctantly looked for a solid shelter from the rain.

However, the enemy troops outside the city also took advantage of this to immediately stabilize their positions.

It's just that they didn't rush to attack in line with the principle of taking advantage of your illness and asking for your life, but with the attitude of not thinking big of a deal to see the excitement, they retreated to a place a mile away from the city wall, and looked at the defenders of the city with a smile and a smile, and began to gloat and set up a crossbow and shoot at the arrow tower turret on the city wall.

After all, as the people of the Gonggong Country, they knew that the Gonggong clan could not only overcontrol the water spirit between heaven and earth and rain out of thin air, but also control the speed and size of raindrops at will. For example, the raindrops falling on the head of Tongcheng today are as powerful as the stones falling from the sky.

Rashly attacking the city, although it can easily attack the city, but it will also be whipped by wind and rain, and the Communist Labor Army will not do such a stupid thing.

Coupled with the heavy rain, the firearms that the defenders were proud of would be unusable due to moisture. At this time, the arrogant Communist Labor Army confidently believed that even if they set up a pot outside the range of bows and arrows under the city, and eat a hot pot leisurely, the defenders would not know what to attack them.

Unless the defenders open the gates and rush out to fight them to the death, they will be able to avoid the raindrops, but then the defenders, who lack artillery support, will be immediately overwhelmed by the numerically superior Communists.

There are many advantages in front of him, but the Communist Labor Army, which was still flustered a few seconds ago, calmed down, and suddenly felt a little proud in his heart.

It's just that their pride and arrogance naturally failed to escape the eyes of Wu Zhiqi, who had experienced a hundred battles.

He and Yu Rong, who had just flown back with the flying troops, were hiding behind the battlements with their shields, and looked at the triumphant enemy troops outside the city through the arrow holes in the battlements, revealing a sneer.

Since the last time, when Yu Rong returned from the night attack, he immediately mentioned that there was information that the Gonggong clan had participated in the war in the enemy army. After learning that these self-proclaimed old gods and souls were not in vain, and they could really control the wind and rain as rumored, they and Ying Zhao and Hu Hui had been discussing and thinking about countermeasures.

I have to say that Xiao Shizhu's thinking logic mode, under the long-term teaching of words and deeds, has more or less influenced these ghosts.

After a few days and nights, they really came up with a brilliant idea, which was to show weakness first: to lure out the good things that the Gonggong clan is good at.

And in order to draw out the enemy's killer feature, you have to show some real skills first, so in the previous battle, the defenders also tried their best. Even the fire-building chariot prepared for them by Xiao Shizhu was used early, causing heavy casualties to the enemy, and at the same time, he inadvertently hinted at the floating tour, and they were nothing more than a dog jumping over the wall in a hurry, desperate to see the dagger, and also forced the floating to use his killer weapon prematurely.

And as an old ghost who has been in the underworld for thousands of years, although Hu Hui is the only one among them who has personally experienced the terrifying side of the Gonggong clan, they all know very well that these so-called old gods need to consume the energy in their bodies every time they cast a spell.

And the amount of soul energy stored in each ghost's body varies from one ghost to another within a certain period of time. But no matter how much, it can't be infinite. After all, they are not ancient gods, but after being transformed by the ancient gods and granted some divine skills, they dare to call themselves old gods and human souls.

Although the Gonggong clan can control the wind and rain, such a big storm cannot be controlled by a ghost. Floating must gather dozens or even hundreds of co-workers in order to attract a cloud and wind and rain that can envelop a city. And the duration, it must not be as long as the sky is old.

Hu Hui also expected that once the enemy began to rain artificially, the Communist Labor Army would not only not continue to attack, but would also stop to watch the play, and arrogance would breed in their hearts at this time, gradually spread, and slowly unload their defense.

The Jiuyou Army and the Xiao Family Army, who were defending the city, took advantage of this good opportunity to quietly hide in the city with firearms while pretending to be panicked when it rained.

And the best time to fight back is when the Gonggong people stop raining.

Sure enough, half an hour later, the Gonggong people in the distance could no longer hold on. They were already sweating profusely and their faces were a little pale, and they put down their arms that were a little sore, and they were panting.

In the sky above Tiantong City, the swirling dark clouds gradually turned from black to white, and then slowly drifted away with the breeze. The storm also stopped at this moment.

The whole city was immersed in a dead silence.

There were no defenders on the city wall for a long time, only the wet flags of the Nine Shadows Kingdom, and the arrow tower turrets that had been beaten beyond recognition by bed crossbows, trebuchets and other things, standing alone at the head of the city.

There was no sound in the city except for the droplets of water falling from the eaves and the treetops, and the ticking sound after landing.

"Attack, leave no room alive. After waiting for a while, there was still no movement in the city, and after not seeing the enemy start to fight back, the corners of Fuyou's mouth rose, and without thinking, he pulled out the long sword at his waist and pointed at Tiantong City in front of him.

Arrogant again, he expected that the defenders of the city would inevitably lose all their firearms, and the sergeants would suffer heavy casualties and demoralization under the whipping of the fierce wind, and the rest would be frightened into the city. This made him look at Tiantong City in his eyes, and he couldn't help but show excitement.

"Xiao Shizhu, General Ben has finally defeated you once. Floating thought to himself, and his fingers couldn't help but tremble.

The Communists had only received the order and were once again rekindled, roaring together, raising their swords and rushing towards the city walls.

They want to be ashamed, and tilt all the resentment that had filled their chests into this small city that has blocked them for half a month.

Shocking, in the shouting of ghosts and gods, the warships of the Communist Labor Army also pulled anchors and raised their sails, and killed them along the river towards Tiantong City.

Now that the other party has been disabled and doesn't even have a decent counterattack, there is nothing to hesitate and worry about. When the infantry is attacking the city, the sailors can also advance and remove the dock forts on both sides of the riverbank.

The high-spirited and determined Communist Labor Army, from the floating to every pawn, showed a proud look on his face as if the world was determined to win. With a murderous glint in their eyes, they slaughtered the small city in front of them that seemed to them to be within reach.

But when the communist army rushed to less than two or three feet away from the base of the wall, they were suddenly stunned.

On the city wall, which should have been silent, there were suddenly many black round pipes between the battlements, aiming at various vital points on their bodies.

The fierce light that had been circulating in the eyes of the Communist Labor Army slowly turned into a little consternation.

Before they could come to their senses, there was a thud of thuds, and dazzling sparks erupted from those pipes. At the same time, Dao Dao black shadows shot up from the wall, quickly slashed through arcs in the air, and landed in the Communist Army.

By the time they saw that the black shadows that were coming at them were the ignited incendiary canisters and earth-shattering thunder, it was too late to escape.

Red flames, accompanied by gunsmoke, rose in all directions outside the city. When he landed outside the city, there was another burst of fire, screaming everywhere! Under the fierce dust, flesh and blood flew everywhere!

The sound of explosions resounded throughout the world and continued to be heard for a long time, mingling with the screams and turning into a cacophony among the enemy troops.

Immediately after that, about half a zhang below each wall battlement, there were wall tiles on the wall slowly moving away, and countless cannon barrels stretched out from the wall, aiming at the siege equipment of the communist army.

Under the fire of a hundred cannons, the defenders began a counteroffensive.
