The magnificent sunset illuminated the rammed-earth city wall, mottled with the blood stains and knife marks left by the fighting, and some broken "Jin" flags rustled in the wind.
A group of ten Jin soldiers patrolled along the wall and occasionally looked at the Jubegren military camp in the distance outside the city.
After holding on for more than a month, there were 15,000 soldiers. Until now, only more than 6,000 people were still able to fight. Finally, the situation was stabilized by relying on the Taoist priests of the Tianshi Mansion to contain the priests in the opponent's army.
It was rumored that one of the five Taoist priests was seriously injured and died in a duel with the Juqi Priest. All the masters in the Tianshi Mansion were like this, and the people in the city were even more panicked. The Juqi people's army came too fast, and many people in the city were unable to make it in time.
He fled and was forced to stay in the city. Fortunately, the road was not completely blocked, and reinforcements from Lantao Prefecture had begun to be organized.
It was a rare two days of silence. The people in the city had been depressed for a long time, but they couldn't help but go out to the streets, dump the accumulated filth, or buy some daily necessities. There were also vendors on the roadside, risking the enemy's attack, to start their business.
When the patrolling soldiers passed by along the street, many people and vendors would bring out some food and supplies for free to these soldiers, hoping to drive away the enemies outside the city as soon as possible.
In a nearby building, two sets of eyes turned away from looking at the soldiers patrolling the street as they took the things given by the people and walked to the end.
"Are you ready?"
"It's all right. It's just that the Taoist priests from Tianshi Mansion almost discovered it."
In the room, more than a dozen figures occupied the corners, sinking in the shadows. Looking at the backs in front of the window lattice, they felt a little uncomfortable after all, but no one dared to say it.
After all, those who had objected before are gone.
"Those Taoist priests are just pedantic people. We calculated in our minds but not in our minds. We never expected that a Taoist monk would open the city gate and let the barbarians in."
Over there, Mr. Dan shook his paper fan and looked at the setting sun, with a smile on his face. "If you let Jugu Ren into the city, you won't believe that he won't do anything. If that's not enough, you'll lure some more barbarians to kill him."
Even if he doesn't survive the heavenly tribulation, he can still breed inner demons. Once he becomes a demon, the righteous ones will not let him go."
In the eyes of this elegant young master, the people in the city and the barbarians outside are nothing. If you die, you will die. As long as you can have a good impression in front of the headmaster, within ten years, you should be able to give more earth line spiritual energy.
give him.
At that time, you will be able to break through the foundation-building perfection in one fell swoop, reach the golden elixir realm, and then be free from the world.
The more I think about it, the bigger the smile becomes.
The last blush fell to the end of the world, and the night rolled in like a tide. Everything became quiet, except for the occasional barking of dogs and the cry of children.
As time passed, the lights in the houses were extinguished one by one. The soldiers at the top of the city had changed several shifts, leaning against the walls and yawning. In the streets and alleys, the watchmen banged their bangs and shouted loudly.
"The sky is dry and things are dry, be careful with fire and candles, beware of strangers, and work carefully!"
Bang... Bang...
"The sky is dry and the things are dry, little..."
The shouting watchman gradually faded away. There were lanterns hanging under the eaves. Someone's figure flashed past. More than a dozen figures flew into the alley, stepped on the wall, jumped up, and landed on the nearby roof. One by one, they looked at the city just around the corner.
Heads, rustling sounds spread among them.
"There are two Taoist priests from the Tianshi Mansion there. Go directly to five of them and hold them back. The rest will directly grab the city gate."
"Don't lead them away?"
"Those smelly Taoist priests are cautious and will never leave the city unless absolutely necessary."
Mr. Dan closed the paper fan with a snap. He looked at the Taoist monks around him. They were all carefully selected and all were in the foundation-building realm. It was not a big problem to hold down two Taoist priests.
After appraising the time, he said in a low voice: "Do it!"
As the words were spoken, more than a dozen figures silently stepped on the tiles, using light-body techniques to fly into the dark night. They did not dare to use their magic power for fear of disturbing the grass, and the five people silently flew from the roof, climbed to the city wall, and borrowed
The rough and uneven surface of the rammed earth quickly swam away to the top of the wall like a gecko, and the remaining figure hid near the city gate.
On the tower.
Two Taoist priests from Tianshi Mansion had a peach wood sword in one hand and a dust whisk or a bronze mirror in the other. They were sitting on chairs, looking out of the city without blinking. Some of them suddenly had their ears twitching, and there were sounds of patrolling footsteps passing by, and there were also soldiers beating their eyes.
The sound of yawning passed in his ears one by one, and then, there was the sound of climbing...
The Taoist priest had a Taoist robe, three crowns on his head, and a gray beard. He suddenly stood up with his sword in hand and said, "Warn the city wall!"
Another Taoist priest, who was about forty years old, stood up and held it lightly with a fly whisk. A soldier suddenly shouted "Ouch!" on the city wall behind him. He turned around hurriedly, and a figure rushed out of the city and stepped across the city wall.
The soldier raised his head and pointed a finger at the Taoist priest who turned around.
However, before the black color on his fingertips condensed, the fly whisk rolled around and pulled the man directly to the ground. The silk thread of the fly whisk was like a blade, and the man fell into two pieces as soon as he hit the ground.
As soon as the Taoist priest collected the fly whisk, he felt that the other party's magic power was dissipated, and his expression suddenly changed.
"Senior brother, city gate!"
After saying that, he flicked his wide sleeves and took a few steps, like a bird flying into the forest, and jumped to the city gate below.
On the other side of the old man who was called, there were already two people who had already climbed up the wall and rushed up, shooting out magic weapons or striking thunder and fire with their palms. However, the old Taoist priest used strange steps to avoid them. Then he casually threw out the bronze mirror in his hand and threw it away.
When a person in the air hit him, he stepped forward and pushed forward. His broad sleeves spread out with a roar, making a sound of wind and thunder, and his palms suddenly came out.
A word of awe-inspiring anger!
The thunder and fire in the night sky extinguished instantly, and the ascetic who was sneaking up on him fell from the mid-air while keeping his palm out. The old Taoist was about to go downstairs, when two more people in the shadows sacrificed their magic weapons.
"I, a Taoist from the Jin Kingdom, should be killed if he does something that his parents don't recognize!"
The old Taoist stroked the sleeves of his robe and touched the back of his fingers to the center of his eyebrows.
——Dharma Eye!
A ray of magic light hit the two people, and with a wooden sword in one hand, he leaned down and rushed towards the ground...
city gate.
The eleven foundation-building monks were no match for the more than a hundred soldiers stationed there. The moment the movement on the tower spread, hidden figures rushed out one after another. Each cast a spell, and the soldiers stationed directly below were stunned.
, when they reacted, eleven people had already reached the city gate.
"How dare you, thief!"
In an instant, a figure in Taoist robes descended from the top of the city, struck out with a mahogany sword, and instantly pierced a foundation-building monk. But the next moment, a strange fragrance suddenly drifted over.
Turtle breath!
The Taoist priest hurriedly held his breath and wanted to stop the monk who opened the door over there, but a young man holding a paper fan stopped him in front of him with a smile.
"Master Yunhe, I've decided on the city gate."
As soon as the voice fell, the ascetics who drove straight into the city gate knocked on the city gate with the magic weapon in their hands.
The sudden fighting disturbed the entire west section of the city. Soldiers and generals gathered one after another, with their long bows drawn up, and they aimed towards the bottom of the city.
At this time, in the dark countryside outside the city, a lurking figure looked at the city. A barbarian named Satuk got on his horse, and the soldiers behind him also got on their horses one by one and picked up their weapons.
The veiled priestess looked at the noisy Han city and felt happy.
Then, there was a "boom" from the direction of the city gate, and the heavy city gate fell down with the light of Dharma. Satuk made a protective gesture in front of him, then pulled out his scimitar and raised it.
Around him, thousands of cavalrymen drew their swords one after another, and there were also pieces of torch light lighting up the dark night in the suburbs.
"Prepare!"
The scimitar slashed towards the Han city, and Satuk shouted loudly: "Soldiers of Poshana, enter the Han city!"
Pieces of torches, like undulating seas of fire, illuminated groups of cavalry, roaring ferociously towards the open city gate, and galloped wildly.
…
At the same time, on the dark road, a bullock cart was on its way.
Bang bang bang——
The old cow pulling the cart drooped his tongue and gasped, but his legs moved wildly, and afterimages ran out quickly. The rider on the cart was so shocked that he hugged the armrest and screamed in fear. He thought the cow
Become crazy.
But he didn't notice that there was half a piece of talisman paper behind the old cow's butt.
In the distance, the outline of the city was already visible in Chen Yuan's eyes, but the slightest movement made him frown.
