"Now that most of Dongshan Province has been recovered, according to the army's offensive, if we go quickly, we will be defeated in three to five days."
Shangshu Ling speculated and everyone nodded. Judging from the battle reports these days, it should be about the same.
"The armies are exhausted after successive battles and are eventually reduced in number. Should we send other guards to take turns fighting?"
Zhongshu Ling put forward his opinion, and Emperor Tianqi waved his hand:
"Forget it, other guardsmen don't have this ability. Victory is imminent, so it's better not to cause more trouble."
Just when the court was speculating on when the war would end, the troops who had been singing triumphal songs all the way to the raid encountered an unprecedented setback!
The army advanced, and along the way two million mobs poured into Ziyang City, where the headquarters of Dahua Cangtian Dao was located. There were already more than one million troops, and together with the residents of the city, the total number exceeded four million.
A city that could barely be considered a medium-sized city was crowded with people, even the Cangtian Dao priests numbered in the tens of thousands.
The previous battle went too smoothly, and the entire army was overconfident. As a result, it was attacked by a sneak attack at night near Ziyang City, and all the artillery in the supply camp was completely damaged.
First, the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches, who discovered something was wrong, started a fierce fight with them. Hundreds of masters turned into spirits of heaven and flew away. If Chaitino hadn't used his ultimate move and killed him by more than 200 seconds, the losses would have been even greater!
"...General, all of them are despicable and derelict in their duties. I am willing to bear all the blame!"
He Zudao knelt down on one knee, his face full of frustration.
Chai Tiannuo had already warned him to be on guard beforehand. After all, the front was the Cangtian Dao base camp, so beware of the other party jumping over the wall in a hurry.
But he was still careless and was obsessed with the previous victory. In the battle that night, more than 2,000 soldiers were killed, which was more than the losses in the previous dozens of battles.
Such a mistake was made under such a good situation. The death penalty can be avoided, and severe punishment is absolutely inevitable.
Chaitino looked at his left arm, which had been torn apart by lightning, and was quite shocked in his heart.
Not to mention the Tao of Heaven, I also underestimated the Tao of Heaven.
In the battle just now, the opponent not only had a large number of master-level masters, but also seven or eight high-level cicadas!
He was targeted by them as soon as he made a move. Even though he killed the two of them with a strike from the nether world, he was also seriously injured. If he hadn't taken the fruit of life, he might not have been able to save his arm!
"...Even the fruit of the next life cannot be completely eliminated, the abilities of Cangtian Dao Qi Refiners are even more astonishing!"
Reaching out to help He Zudao up, Chai Tiannuo sighed.
With the combat power of those Cangtian Dao priests just now, if He Zudao really put up protection, I am afraid the casualties would be even greater!
With so many singing cicadas, there must be star-catching green-robed priests above them. This Ziyang City may not be easily conquered.
After cremating the dead soldiers and looking at the neatly stacked bags, Chai Tiannuo sighed and asked the chief of the supply camp:
"How long will it take to transport the new artillery?"
"It will take about ten days no matter what. The Ministry of War does not have that much inventory and needs to temporarily recruit from other guards."
Chaitino nodded, it was pretty much what he thought.
Looking at the dense crossbows and war equipment at the top of Ziyang City from a distance, Chai Tiannuo pursed his lips. If he attacked by force, the casualties would be huge!
Moreover, there are millions of people defending the city. Without artillery attack, it is impossible for a team of 100,000 people to attack the city.
Furthermore, the number of enemy priests is far beyond imagination. If they cannot be reduced, even if the city is broken, they will be defeated!
"Go give it a try, just take precautions!"
Before anyone could react, Chai Tiannuo's body suddenly turned into a shadow and rushed towards the city wall.
A hundred and twenty feet away, crossbow arrows as thick as a child's arm came one after another, but they had little impact on Chaitino. Although the bed crossbow was powerful, its accuracy was too poor, so it could only be used in group attacks.
Used to block single targets, if you hit one out of ten, you will be lucky.
Twenty feet away, Chai Tiannuo suddenly jumped up to the top of the city. Minghong swept over him, killing countless people in an instant!
"retreat!"
With the roar, Chaitino's body suddenly stiffened, and he felt a huge force pushing him towards the city wall.
extrapolation.
With a grunt, Chai Tiannuo gathered enough energy to break through the restrictions of the law, and raised his hand to end life and death with one strike!
"Boom~!"
A golden light flashed, the silver-white arrow suddenly exploded, and smoke rose into the sky.
"Giant tree!"
The giant tree, which was more than ten feet tall, fell straight down. Chai Tiannuo waved his hand fiercely, and his true energy transformed into a huge ax and smashed the giant tree into pieces.
At the same moment, a black blade slashed across Chaitino's side, and blood immediately poured out of his side.
If he hadn't reacted quickly, he might have been cut in half!
Chai Tiannuo's figure suddenly flashed and appeared dozens of feet away, holding a knife and moving quickly, his eyes shrinking. Sure enough, there are green robes in Ziyang City, and not one, but two!
"Certainly!"
As soon as the power word came out, Chai Tiannuo's figure immediately froze, and then lightning fell. He tried to open the shield with his left hand, but was pierced by the purple thunder dragon's blow.
"Boom~!"
Thunder and fire radiated in all directions, and a large piece of skin and flesh flew off the left arm that was already severely injured, revealing pale pink and white bones!
Chai Tiannuo retreated sharply again, and without any regrets, he ate six or seven fruits in one bite, and his left arm immediately began to heal.
"crack!"
A man in green robe pointed in the distance, Chai Tiannuo jumped forward suddenly, two air shields were smashed to pieces, and was finally blocked by the third one.
Putting away the Minghong, Chai Tiannuo shook his hands and took out the Moon Rhinoceros. He quickly dialed it with his right hand, and a harsh whistle sounded in the air. Five armor-breaking cones flew toward the green-robed priest at a speed beyond imagination!
"Bang bang bang~!"
The green-robed priest also reacted quickly, instantly setting up several barriers around him, and the five armor-piercing cones exploded to pieces!
"Hmph, Fan"
The green-robed priest who wanted to ridicule Chaitino had just said two words, but he felt unbearable pain in his abdomen. When he looked at his abdomen in shock, he saw blood spattering and several big holes had been opened!
His eyes were immediately filled with shock. The barrier was intact. How did the crossbow arrow get through?
"Be careful, someone's arrow will turn!"
Chai Tiannuo sneered, twirled his fingers, and the heavy armor-piercing awl fell sharply, and he shot more than a hundred arrows in an instant.
The two green-robed priests hurriedly blocked the attack, but were beaten back by the armor-piercing cones that fell densely. They had never experienced anything like this before.
A Qi practitioner who is good at long-distance attacks was actually controlled by ordinary people's bows and arrows. Who would believe it?
"...I got some serious information!"
Chai Tiannuo hummed softly, and a silver-white armor-piercing awl suddenly appeared in his hand. The arrow was engraved with talismans. It was mixed with a bunch of ordinary armor-piercing awls and flew out instantly.
More than a dozen armor-piercing cones were shattered by lightning, but one broke through the barrier at a speed beyond imagination. Before the green-robed priest could react, it reached him instantly!
"Bang~!"
Dahao's head exploded to pieces. Chai Tiannuo couldn't help but wave his arms vigorously. He was very excited. That was a seventh-level star-catcher, and he was actually killed by him. He felt an overwhelming sense of accomplishment!
"Plop!"
The body spurting blood fell to the ground and instantly turned into dead wood.
"It's his mother's fault!"
Chaitino cursed loudly. He had encountered this kind of substitution technique several times. It was really annoying!
When another green-robed priest saw his colleague showing off his substitute skills, he threw out a golden talisman and walked away without saying a word.
"Where to go!"
Chai Tiannuo roared loudly, shaking his hands and firing dozens of arrows, also mixed with silver-white armor-piercing awls filled with talismans!
