After this first round of attack and defense, the Yasukuni defenders were slaughtered a lot by the Tang infantry who rushed to the city wall, about 700 people, but the more than 1,000 infantry who attacked the city were wiped out except for the 100-man squad responsible for breaking through the city gate. After calculating the losses of the Tang Army, the losses of the Tang Army are even more, which shows that the soldiers of the Yasukuni did show a brave momentum that they did not usually have in order to protect the people in the city.

Di Xiang ordered the besieging infantry to retreat temporarily, and the archers launched a second round of offensive at this time, and in the face of the rain of arrows created by 20,000 archers, the defenders were still powerless to resist, and hundreds of people fell a moment later.

Seeing this, Di Xiang sent infantry to attack the city again, and in this way, he experienced a total of three rounds of attack and defense.

Every time the arrows rained down, the defenders suffered heavy casualties, but there were always follow-up reinforcements who continued to fight on the walls. Every time the Tang infantry attacked the city wall, they would encounter strong resistance, and they could neither attack the city nor retreat, so they could only die with the enemy with hatred. That Jiang Changsheng is even more brave, he can successfully retreat every time the arrow rain falls, and after the Tang army attacks, he will appear in time, killing all directions, and not allowing a fish caught in the net to slip into the city.

Although the city gate has been deeply dented now, it has still not been knocked open, and Yin Feng and Zheng Ping tried their best to defend it, so that the siege team never completed the task.

If the two sides calculate the losses at this time, the Tang Army still occupies a very obvious advantage with its incomparably powerful archers, and after three rounds of attack and defense, the Tang Army only lost more than 2,000 infantry, while the Yasukuni Army sacrificed nearly 6,000 people, which can be described as a heavy loss.

It was already past noon, and Di Xiang saw that the archers had already shown a little fatigue on their faces, and suddenly remembered Ming Wei's instructions.

"Today the generals are tired and it is not fit to fight again. The enemy's forces have been greatly damaged, and the city gates are crumbling, and they will be breached tomorrow. In that case, it's time to stop. ”

Di Xiang then Mingjin withdrew his troops and led the army back into the camp.

Lin Xiusheng received the report at this time, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. After all, the enemy's strength is still above his expectations, if the Tang Army goes all out, I am afraid that the situation of the city will inevitably be broken today.

Lin Xiusheng's own cronies spread the tragic results of the battle on Moon Shadow Island, and hyped up the image of the Tang Army's cruelty and murder to incite the people.

In just half a day, "invade my country's land and cut off my way of life, the Tang thief, I will be punished." The slogan resounded all over Moonshadow Island, and no one knew it, and no one knew it. Lin Xiusheng's decision can really be called a wise move, because it has made all the people of Yasukuni hate the same enemy and hate the "fierce, brutal, ruthless, and ruthless" Tang Army. Even the "Lord and faction", who hoped for an immediate cessation of the war, could not help but change their minds. Everyone thinks that against such a bloodthirsty maniac who kills people without blinking, the only way to survive is to fight back.

At the same time as the people set off a big riot, in the marshal's mansion in Falling Snow City, Lin Xiusheng received a secret edict, writing sixteen big characters written in Danzhu: "Morale is boiling, the time has come, go straight to Huanglong, and win in one fell swoop." Lin Xiusheng understood Li Zaixing's intentions at a glance, and stroked his beard with a smile.

At dusk, in the tent, the crowd will gather again.

Ming Wei said loudly at this moment: "Today, General Di defeated the enemy army and made great military achievements. In this way, the Yasukuni army has been forced into a desperate situation, and if they do not go out of the city tomorrow to confront it head-on, this falling snow city will become the bag of our army. Therefore, tomorrow our army may engage the enemy head-on, and now we should be the first to prepare. For this battle, I have specially prepared a set of marching formations, called 'Dark Mist Maze', and I will take advantage of this situation to explain the layout of this formation to you in detail, hoping that you can keep it in mind. ”

The night is deep and the autumn wind is blowing. Looking back suddenly, I don't know how many years have passed.

In the "Flowing Year" inn, the figure of a purple-robed man stands by the window, silently reciting unknown verses, but the gorgeous words in the poem cannot hide its bleak artistic conception. Ye Yichen raised his eyes and looked at the night sky outside the window, it was still gloomy, and the dark clouds covered the moon. He sighed softly and gently pushed open the wooden window. After glancing around, and finding that no one was watching his movements, Ye Yichen jumped out of the window, left the inn, and walked away, his figure gradually blurred in the night, until he disappeared.

"Ah----h He once felt that he was supposed to be a fearless person, and no matter how dangerous and terrifying the situation was, he could not shake his mind in the slightest, but now he had to admit that he was not mature enough. In the dream, the scene that was repeated again and again ravaged Xuantian's mind all the time. In the dusty battlefield, Li Mengluan's figure shuttled back and forth, the long sword in her hand kept waving, and one after another fresh lives passed away in her hands, and the loess was ruthlessly soaked in blood. Whenever Xuantian stared into Li Mengluan's eyes in a dream, all he could see was a deep void. It seemed that the arms that would be waved only for the sake of killing lingered in Xuantian's mind.

In the snowy city, in a gloomy room, a girl with a flawless face woke up from almost the same nightmare, gasping for air, cold sweat dripping from her forehead, almost soaking the bedding. Blood-red eyes, cold blades, corpses everywhere, echoing wails, distorted worlds. Endless grief gnawed at Li Mengluan's heart, leaving wounds that could not be healed. She gently covered her face with her hands and sobbed quietly, pouring out her grief that could never be released. At this moment when she felt the most helpless and vulnerable, she closed her eyes, and what appeared in her mind was Xuantian's smiling face.

No matter how far apart they are, the thoughts they share together binds their hearts together.

Ye Yichen walked as fast as flying, his feet did not touch the ground, he actually had the feeling of floating in the wind, and his body kept passing through the woods, lakes and hills, and finally stopped in a plain area in the north of Ningchuan.

Ye Yichen cautiously looked around the scene, but found that this place was a place that was somewhat similar to the basin, empty on all sides, and no vegetation was growing. Ye Yichen closed his eyes, leaned over gently, pressed his right hand against the ground, and chanted in a subtle voice.

"I am the exposer of all lies, and I am the peep of all truth.

The wind blows and the grass moves, and it is difficult to escape my ears, and the insects leap and the snake walks, and it is difficult to confuse my eyes.

Whatever I seek, I will find in my pocket. ”

A light purple glow spilled out from Ye Yichen's hands, quickly spreading to every corner of the basin without missing a single bit. Ye Yichen's expression was solemn, as if he wanted to explore rare treasures in this empty area.

This continuous "exploration" lasted for nearly half an hour, and Ye Yichen slowly raised his right hand, shook the dust on his clothes, and stood up straight. The light purple brilliance faded with Ye Yichen's movements. Fang's tense face was finally relieved at this moment, but there was a trace of disappointment and helplessness. Ye Yichen took a deep breath and discharged all the turbid qi accumulated in his lungs.

"It's supposed to be here, but even after searching every inch of land, I still can't find any clues, exactly..." Ye Yichen once again took out the indescribably old map from his bosom, and looked at it carefully, the low murmur that came out of his mouth was like talking to himself.

"Wait a minute..."Ye Yichen suddenly retracted the map into his arms, and his expression suddenly became a little more serious than Fang Cai. "I seem to have overlooked some important clues, although it has nothing to do with what I'm looking for, but..."

Ye Yichen approached the most central part of the basin step by step, and his steps were so light that he landed silently, for fear of causing a hint of wind and grass.

"If there is nothing contrary to my judgment, this place should be set up for the same purpose as I am. Ye Yichen made the same movement in the center of the basin, leaning over and touching the ground.

The moment the "Ding ---" finger touched the ground, a red diamond-shaped magic circle appeared, and there were no runes in the array, only more than 10,000 circles interlocking with each other, each circle releasing a cold aura. Ye Yichen couldn't help but shiver, feeling that his whole body was covered in cold. Even so, the corners of his mouth inadvertently showed a smile that was not easy to detect, which looked very strange in such a dangerous situation.

"Sure enough, as I expected, there were people here to set up a formation. Ye Yichen muttered to himself, but the movement of his body did not slow down when he spoke, and he jumped backwards for more than five feet, and his body hovered and flipped in the air like a swallow, drawing a beautiful curve, and finally landed quietly, without raising some dust.

"After wasting a night's time, there is still no clue, but it is worth the trip, and getting such valuable information may be helpful in the future. Ye Yichen chuckled, "It's not early, it seems that you have to go back as soon as possible, it is not advisable to stay here for a long time...!"

The faint smile on Ye Yichen's face froze on his face in the next moment, and the look of disbelief in his eyes overflowed, as if he was stunned and helpless when he saw something terrifying for the first time in his life.
