Chapter 689: The army quickly attacked the city
Of course, Xuan Ye's guess was correct, Yun Lizi, the lord of the Shooting Sun City, led people out of the city to check, and it didn't take long to meet Jin Ao and others, and Yun Lizi's cultivation was indeed the Great Perfection of Jindan.
After killing Jin Ao and the others, Yun Lizi was sure that what Xing Nian said was true, so he quickly returned to the city and prepared.
Although he was furious, Xuan Ye did not act on his own, and immediately reported the matter to the former army commander Wumian.
Uncrowned is one of the three demigod realm masters in the army, and after receiving the report, he knew that his intentions were exposed, so he ordered the front army to speed up the advance, and informed the middle army and the rear army that they must reach the city of Shooting Sun in the shortest possible time.
The three armies received the order and advanced at full speed, and the front army was the first to kill, but at this time the large protective array had already been opened.
The million-strong army did not disperse, but slaughtered ten miles outside the city and did not move forward.
The vast desert is endless, and the lonely city is empty on all sides.
In the vast desert, the Shooting Sun City stood abruptly, and a ten-mile-long vacuum zone appeared between it and the dark army, and the air in this interval seemed to have been stagnant, and even the endless yellow sand was intimidated by the murderous aura and stopped flying in the sky.
Leaning slightly, among the dark army, hundreds of warships came out of the crowd, lined up, and before the defending army could react, thousands of cannons were fired in unison, and the colorful spirit bullets exploded on the defensive light curtain, making a heaven-shattering sound.
"Quickly send an order to the armies of all factions to immediately reinforce Ximen!" Yun Lizi was furious and urgently ordered all factions to rush to help.
Although Ximen is the key defense object, there are only hundreds of thousands of city guards, plus the men and horses of other forces, it can be more than a million. At this time, it was only the outpost that launched the attack, and I don't know how many follow-up armies there were.
The dark army is ten miles away, and although the spiritual light cannon in the city can attack, the effect is limited, and when it hits a magic weapon-class battleship, it can't even hurt a hair.
After the fierce attack, the city guards were at a loss for a moment.
But the dark army came prepared, the battleship was full of high-grade spiritual light cannons, every time the spiritual light bomb exploded, the defensive light curtain was blown up and flashed, thousands of spiritual light bullets fell together, and the pressure on the defense array of Xicheng can be imagined.
"Order Chief You, let him connect the energy library with the Xicheng Great Array!" After half an hour, Yun Lizi's head was sweating, and he had to give the above order.
Under the long-term and fierce shelling, the light curtain of the Xicheng City Protector Array quickly dimmed, and the defensive power was greatly reduced, and the aftermath of the spiritual light cannon began to attack the city through the light curtain, and many people were killed and wounded.
The head of the City Lord's Mansion quickly connected to the energy library, and the protective light curtain of the West City shone again, and the defense power increased sharply.
At the same time, however, the shelling of the army outside the city also came to an abrupt end, and the battleship quickly retreated into the background.
Before the city guards could catch their breath, people were horrified to find that ten miles away, a dense and very huge trebuchet had been set up!
It turned out that during the half hour of the shelling, the rear army was not idle, but urgently set up trebuchets and was ready for a second wave of attacks.
The trebuchet is made of hardwood and fine iron, with a height of more than 100 zhang and a width of dozens of zhang, which is extremely large. The cloth used to throw the stone is made of the skin of a fifth-level high-level demon beast, and what is thrown out of the cloth is not a boulder, but a thunder flint.
Thunder flint was originally a natural strange stone used for ignition, after being transformed by cultivators, and then soaked in nitrate oil for 100 days, once such a thunder flint encountered an impact, it would explode violently, and the lethality was extremely terrifying.
Each trebuchet was controlled by sixteen cultivators, each performing their own duties and cooperating with each other, throwing a huge thunder flint stone ignited in advance into the Sunshooting City from ten miles away.
The lightning flint slammed into the protective light curtain, causing a violent explosion, and its power was no less than that of a high-grade spiritual light cannon.
The most important thing is that the aftermath of the thunder and flint explosion can break through the defensive light curtain and inflict huge damage on the city guards.
In addition to this, behind the trebuchet, there are a large number of giant crossbows.
This kind of machine crossbow uses spears as arrows, which is extremely powerful and lethal, and is a sharp weapon for attacking the city.
"City Lord, the east and north gates are under heavy shelling, and they ask to connect to the energy pool!" Amid the roaring explosion, the herald reported loudly.
"How many siegers are there?" Yun Lizi said with a calm face.
"Three, more than three million!" said the herald in a trembling voice.
"What? More than three million! Did you see it with your own eyes?" Yun Lizi was shocked, he was shocked not by the number of the other party, but by the strategy.
Originally, the West Gate was the focus of the opponent's attack, but he didn't expect the other party to change his strategy and go to attack the east and north gates, which greatly surprised him.
"Yes, it's the report from the governor of the two cities!" Shocked by the coercion emanating from Yun Lizi, the herald was a little unable to straighten his waist.
"Explore!" Yun Lizi snapped.
"Yes!" the herald hurried away, as if he had been granted amnesty.
It was already in a hurry, and in such a short period of time, it was difficult to achieve multi-party consideration. Moreover, the east gate had been breached, the formation had just been repaired, and an effective side test had not yet been carried out, and now it was in such a terrible situation when it was subjected to such a fierce shelling.
But it's too early to connect to the energy bank at this point, because this is only the first wave of attacks.
The storage of spiritual veins in the energy bank is limited, and it is nothing to connect one area, but three areas can be connected at the same time, the consumption is too huge, and he must consider it all.
Zhou Yang, Tu Yuan and the others were also on the west city wall, and they had to dodge the power of the explosion through the formation, but that's all, nothing else could help.
Although the enemy was outnumbered, it remained ten miles away, and no master appeared, but only bombarded the city wall with trebuchets and crossbows.
The same is true for the east and north gates.
In such a big war, it is attrition between one attack and one defense.
In fact, behind the big war, the high-level leaders of both sides are measuring each other's strength, especially the side of the Dark Continent.
The commanders of the front, middle and rear armies are all demigod powerhouses, and all three of them are scanning the Sun Shooting City with their powerful divine senses, in order to find the hidden masters.
General Hong, who was thousands of miles away, was also doing the same thing, he wanted to confirm the highest combat power in the city.
The uncrowned figure was shrouded in a layer of mist, and in his divine consciousness appeared his former opponent, the Great Devil who sat in the Sun Shooting City.
In the previous battle, the two were evenly matched, but that was under the premise that the big devil did not use the corpse puppet. Of course, the uncrowned also did not show the hole cards, because it was not yet to the point of life and death.
After the war, Wumian sent spies to inquire in many ways, and the news he got was that the highest cultivation in Sun Shooting City was the big devil, and this was the only one.
However, Wumian never believed that in the million-year-old Sun-Shooting Giant City, there was only one supreme powerhouse in the Great Devil, and it stands to reason that there should be a master of the God Realm.
But the information found by many parties shows that he is indeed the only one.
