"Ah——" Shi Dexi's body swayed and he almost fell down.
The Madonna that exploded in the sky must be a fake!
As one of the core figures of the Red Lotus Sect, he has never believed in the existence of the Red Lotus Virgin.
The problem is, he doesn't know how the damn Suppressing Army allowed a fake Virgin to fly in the sky.
He couldn't even explain why the Virgin would explode to pieces while flying.
"It's fake. Don't panic, everyone. The Holy Mother in the sky is fake. The Holy Mother of Red Lotus got angry and cast a spell to crush her!" As the core figure of the Red Lotus Sect, Ye Qinglian's reaction speed is much faster than Shi Dexi. A
He bolted out of the bedroom, followed closely by him, climbed up to the roof three times and two times, made a trumpet with his hand, put it to his mouth, and shouted with all his strength.
Where is it too late?
In Anhua City, countless Red Lotus believers were seen kneeling down and howling in front of the flames falling from the air, as if they were mourning their heirs.
The Red Lotus Virgin exploded!
They have believed in the Red Lotus Virgin Mary for many years, thinking in their hearts that they are omnipotent and can bring them happiness in this life and the next life. She exploded!
Before it exploded, Our Lady of the Red Lotus was very angry, very angry with every one of them.
The Holy Mother of Red Lotus had just passed over the main helm when it was blown to pieces.
Who has done something wrong will be known without asking!
As the saying goes, the only thing that can defeat magic is magic.
At this moment, in Anhua City, those who had previously believed more and more deeply in Our Lady of the Red Lotus became more desperate.
Even the hearts of many fanatical believers were filled with hatred. They did not hate the soldiers who suppressed the army outside the city, but hated the Dharma King, the four envoys and the leaders of each branch who led them to rebel.
Obviously, it was an act of rebellion that went against the original intention of Our Lady of the Red Lotus. This led to Our Lady of the Red Lotus coming to the sky above Anhua City and destroying her own clone to express her anger.
"Don't panic, it's fake, the Holy Mother's power is boundless, so it won't break!"
"Don't panic, the Holy Mother in the sky is fake and is a cover-up for the officers and soldiers!"
"Don't panic..."
At this moment, Ye Qinglian is not the only one who can still keep a calm mind. There are also many helmsmen and hall masters who have also stepped forward and called on the believers around them as much as possible to keep their eyes open and distinguish the authenticity.
However, how can the shouts of dozens of people compare with the sight of tens of thousands of people?
In this era, in the eyes of ordinary people, the only things that can fly into the sky are birds and gods.
Who is willing to believe that such a big Madonna flew over everyone's heads and said it was not a miracle but a deception?
Immediately, some fanatical believers jumped up and loudly refuted the words of the helmsmen.
Immediately afterwards, more people followed behind the fanatical believers, roaring and cursing at the helmsmen, and even wanted to tear them into pieces.
And some people who were wronged during Shi Dexi's ruthless military reorganization last night, or who saw how their relatives and friends were killed, decisively seized the opportunity to add fuel to the flames.
Not long after, the entire Anhua City was reduced to a state of chaos. The Dharma Guard Team just established under Shi Dexi's command the night before was mobilized to suppress the situation, but to no avail.
"Go to the city, take people to the city quickly. The officers and soldiers are coming up, fighting up!" Shi Dexi was a commander after all. After recovering from the initial shock and panic, he immediately issued the latest order.
The best way to resolve civil strife is to rely on external threats.
Therefore, the news that the officers and soldiers launched an attack is the best medicine to restore calm to everyone at this moment.
"Officers and soldiers, officers and soldiers are attacking the city!"
"The officers and soldiers are attacking the city!"
"Officers and soldiers——"
As if in response to his orders, panicked shouts suddenly sounded on the city wall. Immediately afterwards, the sound of horns became loud, "Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo [all waving!"
Accompanied by the cold wind in the early morning, it penetrated directly into everyone's heart.
The chaos in the city was still continuing, but there were many sober people who immediately realized the importance of the situation. Carrying weapons, they rushed to the horse path and climbed the city wall, resolutely not giving the officers and soldiers any opportunity to take advantage of it.
In the morning light, they could clearly see that the large group of suppressing troops was slowly advancing towards the west wall of Anhua City. The cold light flashing on the spears and steel knives was like waves of waves.
Walking at the forefront of the entire military formation were three small teams. Their size, weapons and costumes were all completely different from their companions.
Each team only had about 500 people. They had no armor or weapons. They were pushing the most common wheelbarrow on Yongxing Military Road. In front of the car, a wooden shield was erected high.
Because the load on the car was not heavy, they moved easily. In fact, they quickly broke away from the main formation of the Zhenrong Army and advanced to within 150 steps of the city wall.
One hundred and fifty steps was already the effective attack distance of the bed crossbow on the top of the city. However, they still had no intention of stopping. They continued to push the wheelbarrow and walked quickly. In the blink of an eye, they were heading towards the west side of Anhua City.
The city wall is much closer.
"Fire the crossbow, fire the crossbow, don't let them get close!" Shi Dexi and Ye Qinglian rushed to the top of the city at the same time, shouting orders to the brothers on the city wall who could still keep their minds clear.
"Yes!" The answer was sparse, and many brothers didn't even move.
The reason why everyone went to the city to resist the officers and soldiers was to prevent everyone from being destroyed after the city was defeated. They did not want to continue to listen to the Dharma King and the Holy Lady being domineering.
The actions of these two people have brought huge disasters to the Red Lotus Sect. Anyone who continues to support them without conscience is seeking death.
However, after all, they had accumulated prestige over time, and a small number of brothers still followed the instructions of Shi Dexi and Ye Qinglian and triggered the mechanism on the bed crossbow.
"call--"
"call--"
"call--"
Crossbow arrows, more than two feet long and as thick as an adult's arm, flew out one after another, heading straight for the unicycle team more than 120 steps away.
Most of them missed the target, only two or three hit the high-erected shield.
The shield immediately fell into pieces, and the wheelbarrow overturned instantly. The wooden poles, iron parts and other items inside were scattered all over the ground.
However, with the help of the buffer of the shield, the officers and soldiers hiding behind the wheelbarrow dropped the handlebars in time and jumped behind the adjacent shield without suffering any harm at all.
"Bow and arrow, use the bow and arrow to greet them!" Shi Dexi saw it and knew that continuing to shoot with the crossbow was a waste. Therefore, he decisively changed the order.
"Swish, swish, swish..." Scattered arrows soared into the sky from the top of the city, passed over a hundred steps away, and then turned around and struck down.
"Raise your shield!" someone behind the wheelbarrow ordered loudly.
Shields were raised from the roof of the car, and together with the wooden shields erected in front of the car, they formed simple shacks.
Most of the arrows that fell in the air missed their target. A few of them successfully landed on the wheelbarrow, but were blocked by two shields and made no achievements.
"Keep shooting, keep shooting, don't let them get close to the city wall!" Shi Dexi secretly screamed something bad, and shouted at the top of his voice, "First shoot three waves, and then switch to rockets. Use the rockets to burn the shields, leaving them nowhere to hide.
!”
"Yes!" The replies were still sparse, and the number of arrows fired at the wheelbarrow did not increase at all.
Many believers rushed to the watchtower, picked up burning wood from the heating brazier, and then lit rockets tied with grease balls and fired them toward the wheelbarrow.
Because the grease balls affected the range, most of the rockets fell to the ground before they reached the air above the wheelbarrow. A few of them hit the shield, and were swatted by the veteran of the Suppression Army hidden behind the car with a knife, and were immediately wiped out.
"I'm here to take command, you go and call people. Call everyone who can shout to come up to the city wall. Otherwise, we will all die after the city is broken!" At this moment, Shi Dexi could not care less about blaming Ye Qinglian for causing trouble. He was ashen.
He yelled at the other person with a straight face.
Of the 700,000 to 80,000 brothers, there are currently less than 700 standing on the west wall. If this continues, the officers and soldiers will be able to conquer Anhua City in one fell swoop without having to think of ways to collapse the city wall and simply erect ladders.
Therefore, more brothers must be called to join the war, regardless of whether they still believe in Our Lady of the Red Lotus, or whether they have resentment in their hearts.
"Okay" Ye Qinglian also knew that even if Shi Dexi adopted her opinion, it would be too late to organize an evacuation. She gritted her teeth, turned around and left.
Before she could set foot on the horse path leading to the city again, a rapid whistling sound suddenly came from mid-air, "Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh..."
Turning her head in surprise, she saw dozens of crossbow poles as thick as arms and more than two feet long, rising from the army's main formation and rushing toward them. On the front of the crossbow poles, there were melon-sized balls with red light.
Flashing.
"Boom!" A huge crossbow hit the enemy tower and exploded, causing thick smoke to billow inside and outside the enemy tower.
"Boom, boom, boom, boom..." The sound continued continuously, and more than forty giant crossbows either hit the crenels or the city walls, and exploded one after another, sending more firelight and thick smoke to the top of the city.
In the blink of an eye, the west wall and watchtowers of Anhua City were completely shrouded in thick smoke, making it impossible to see even one's fingers!
