"Back to Your Highness, only 20,000 recruits have been recruited so far due to the urgency of time, and the defenders in the city are currently less than 50,000, and most of them are not strong enough to fight."

Knowing this data, Qi Yue was uneasy, the difference in strength between the two sides was huge, and if he didn't do something, the chance of winning the hard fight was almost nothing. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Thinking of this, he clenched the divine weapon in his hand, and his heart suddenly became murderous: "Come on, the Qingyang Sword has not sucked blood for a long time, and this time it can be devoured!"

As if sensing the killing intent of the master, the body of the Qingyang Sword resounded with a buzzing sound, as if it couldn't wait.

In a short time, the local army had besieged Quling City, and it was difficult for birds to cross, and the young commander of the local army had also come to the city.

Seeing Chen Lin's appearance from a distance, Qi Yue was still a little surprised in his heart, the other party's age was almost the same as his own, with a green shirt and a feather fan, a white face, and was surrounded by many masters of the Netherworld and elite guards.

When he was looking at the other party, Chen Lin had also seen the rumored prince of Canglang.

After the news of the failed assassination came back that day, he thought that he knew that the other party was not very human, but he didn't expect to be as young as himself when he saw it today, wearing a python dragon robe and wearing a vermilion crown, standing alone at the head of the city, and his eyes were empty, so that he could feel the chill from the bottom of his heart from a long distance.

The 300,000 troops, except for the follow-up baggage troops who have not yet arrived, have occupied the plains outside Quling City, with banners covering the sky and companies and camps overlapping, so that Quling City, which has a green mountain on its back, is all surrounded.

When the recruits at the head of the city saw this, they felt fear from the bottom of their hearts, and their hands were already covered with fine sweat with frightened expressions, weak legs, and clenched weapons.

The situation next to him naturally couldn't hide it from Qi Yue, although he wanted to open his mouth to reprimand, but he could only let it go at the moment when the enemy was there.

The Chinese army led by Chen Lin had all arrived at the city at this time, and was stopped by a moat of less than three feet on the opposite bank, only to see him gently shake his feather fan and shout at Qi Yue: "On the opposite side is Qi Yue, the leader of the rebels, I will advise you to open the city and surrender quickly, otherwise your head will be hung above this city gate in a moment or three, as a warning for the rebels who dare to rebel against the empire!"

As soon as Chen Lin opened his mouth, he directly classified Qi Yue as a traitor, and how could the generals under his command endure it, Dongfang Ju even opened his mouth and insulted: "You unashamed yellow-mouthed child! But I still recognize you Dongfang Grandpa, how can I allow you to be presumptuous here!"

Dongfang Ju is the main general of Canglang, Chen Lin didn't know, but he pretended to be surprised and mocked: "Who should I be, it turned out to be my subordinate defeated, isn't the lesson I gave you last time enough......?" Since you are a rebel, don't blame me for not thinking about the friendship of the same family, I will definitely cut you down by the sword with my own hands!"

"You fart ......!" seemed to be poked at the center, Dongfang Ju was so angry that he was about to jump off the city wall with a big axe, but was stopped by Qi Yue stretching out his hand: "Wait, let him be arrogant for a while, and when you go into battle"

Although he was furious in his heart, he could not disobey the prince's order, so he could only angrily smash the giant axe on the city wall, and the ground shook for a while.

Seeing that this brute bull was quiet, Qi Yue glanced at the crossbowmen who had already been prepared at the head of the city, and waved his palm and ordered: "Ten thousand arrows will be fired in unison, forcing the enemy army to retreat three hundred steps away!"

"Yes!"

Chen Lin under the city was surprised that the above suddenly quieted down, and just wanted to open his mouth to continue to provoke the enemy generals and lure the enemy to go out of the city to fight, but he didn't expect to be greeted by a rain of arrows that were overwhelmingly dark and oppressive, attacking in his direction at a very fast speed.

"Protect the general!" the guards beside him shouted, and quickly twenty or thirty soldiers with huge shields surrounded him, and there were several masters of the Netherworld on the periphery, protecting him and retreating to the rear in a hurry.

The bows and crossbows under Qi Yue's command are all made of dark iron tire bows made by famous craftsmen, and with armor-piercing arrows, it is difficult for ordinary soldiers to resist.

And the guards beside Chen Lin, each holding a long sword, formed a sword formation, and they could easily cut off the arrows, and occasionally one or two missed ones hit the giant shield behind him, making a banging sound that was difficult to hurt inside.

Therefore, this rain of arrows seemed to be urgent and fierce, but in fact, except for shooting and killing dozens of light cavalry, it basically did not play a big role, only forcing the enemy army back to 300 paces away, clearing a buffer land.

Seeing this scene, Qi Yue at the head of the city couldn't help but shake his head: "It seems that Chen Lin is still underestimated, the other party can become the commander of the first army at a young age, and he really has some real skills."

Although Qi Yue secretly admired in his heart, he couldn't stop the enemy's intention to attack the city.

Chen Lin saw that the radical method failed, so he had no choice but to command the vanguard to become the rear army, and the overwhelming sword and shield soldiers in the rear were already ready to attack, and he could cross the moat and take the city gate directly after he gave an order.

He suddenly pulled out the long sword at his waist for decoration, and raised it high: "The generals will obey the order! The first one to attack the city will be rewarded with a reward of 100,000 yuan, an official promotion of three ranks, and a fief of the blessed descendants!"

"Brothers, charge me!" the generals under his command could not resist the great temptation, and led the mighty army to press forward head-on.

Since the war has begun, the matter of the commander will naturally be handed over to someone who is good at it, and Nangong Li will take over the military power and lead the whole army.

In the face of six times and his own enemies, Nangong Li did not have the slightest panic in his eyes, maybe he said that this was just a difficult game, unhurriedly waving the order flag and issuing military orders, the originally noisy city wall, gradually calmed down, and each performed his duties and returned to his posts.

Seeing this, Qi Yue was glad that he did not monopolize the power, otherwise his commanding ability would only make things worse.

In the blink of an eye, the enemy had moved forward another two hundred feet, and both sides were within range of the crossbowmen.

The crossbowmen under the command of Nangong Li no longer shot aimlessly as before, but only attacked the relatively weakly defended camp one after another, not only successfully stopping the enemy's advance, but also leaving hundreds of corpses below.

Seeing the soldiers under his command fall one by one, Chen Lin's heart was like a knife, and he couldn't help but fall all his hatred on the general at the head of the city.

"Nangong Li, he has been silent in the Northern Army for so many years, but I didn't expect that his command ability is not under me, if this person is not removed, I am afraid that the siege battle will have to pay a huge price"

After thinking about it, he waved his hand to beckon two of the six masters of the Netherworld beside him, and whispered something in his ear, only to see that after receiving the order, the other party dissipated into the void in front of many soldiers.

And this scene was seen by Qi Yue, who had been paying close attention to Chen Lin, and he could clearly see that two phantoms were flying towards Nangong Li at a very fast speed, and the two of them each held a short-bladed dagger in their hands, aiming directly at his throat and heart.

Qi Yue quietly watched the two of them from far to near, until he was less than a foot away from Nangong, he suddenly made a move, and his figure turned into a blazing flame Qingyang Sword came out of its sheath at the same time, and the two of them sneaked away from behind.

These two people may not have expected that their Dao realm would be seen through, and they were completely defenseless behind them, seeing that the dagger was about to slash through the throat of the enemy general, a trace of ominous premonition suddenly rose in their hearts.

"What~!" As soon as the heads of the two of them turned, they suddenly felt light, and then they saw the person who suddenly appeared behind them, as well as their own headless corpse.

The sudden situation startled Nangong Li, and anyone who suddenly appeared in front of two assassins would not be indifferent, not to mention that as soon as the two appeared, their heads flew high, and after a few spins in the air, they landed in the corner of the city wall, and the startled recruits retreated.

As for Qi Yue, who succeeded in the sneak attack, he had already withdrawn the flame knife in his left hand at this time, and the Qingyang Sword automatically returned to the sheath after sucking up the enemy's essence blood, and the skill of passing through the dark realm was enough for him to slowly digest it for a while.

The sudden changes on the city wall, naturally did not hide from Chen Lin's eyes, looking at the two masters under his command being beheaded so easily, while regretting in his heart, he hated Qi Yue even more, commanded the army to strengthen the siege, and vowed to hang his head on the city wall to relieve the hatred in his heart.

The enemy was outnumbered, and the disparity in the combat strength of the soldiers on both sides finally allowed the enemy to cross the moat and finally reach the bottom of the city wall, and countless ladders and siege trees were pushed up.

Seeing this, the soldiers on the city wall naturally worked harder, and for a while the means of wood, gravel, and boiling oil were used one after another, although they caused greater damage and caused the enemy to stop one after another, but they still couldn't resist the temptation of utilitarianism, and after a while, they continued to attack upwards under the leadership of their respective generals.

The soldiers are low in force, so they naturally need to use ladders and other equipment, but no matter how high the city wall is, it is difficult for the generals with high martial arts.

Although it is often resisted by the generals with all their might, and they will soon be divided on the spot, they can't stand too many masters in the 300,000 army, and there are no less than hundreds of people who have gone to the transformation realm to cultivate, not to mention that there are many true martial arts realms that play the role of cannon fodder.

Under the strong attack of the elite lineup, there were more and more enemies on the city wall, and Dongfang Ju and the others were difficult to resist despite the bloody battle, and even Nangong Li, who was in charge of the command, was entangled by the two newly surging masters of the Secret Realm, and he couldn't spare his hand to help for a while.

The giant axe in Dongfang's hand danced again and again, and several people were divided into corpses with each move, but even so, the soldiers who surged up like a tide below made him feel extremely tired, and the arms wielding the giant axe seemed to weigh more than a thousand catties, and gradually slowed down.

"Bang!" There was a crisp sound, and the real qi stirred and shook the soldiers of both sides nearby into pieces, and the giant axe in the hand of the Dongfang giant came out of his hand and fell under the city wall to kill an innocent soldier.

Looking at the iron spear stabbed at him, Dongfang Ju felt a sense of weakness in his heart, closed his breath and said, "Come on"

Chen Lin had already announced before the war that Dongfang Ju's head was worth 10,000 gold, and the other party's generals naturally recognized him, seeing that this meant that the head of fame and fortune was about to be taken, the smile on the corner of his mouth could not be suppressed at all.
