"Ximen Potian! I owe you a generation of emperors! You actually used women to blackmail you!"
Cheng Gong wanted to save his daughter or let his daughter die a bad end, so he had no choice but to provoke the other party.
"Cheng Gong, you don't need to provoke me. If I threaten you with a woman, then instead of waiting for Da Lang to come back, I, the soldiers all over the city, will probably like such a stunning beauty."
Ximen Potian's tone was very calm. How could a generation of emperors be affected by such a vulgar way of provoking generals?
"Alright, military advisor! When I conquer the city, I will rescue my niece!"
Ximen Wentian was afraid that his military advisor would mess up his position, so he drew the sword from his waist and ordered:
"Prepare the siege engines! Siege the city!"
"Boom! Boom! Boom..."
With the sound of drums, large siege equipment was pushed up.
Some have boulders placed on them, while others have fire pots placed on them.
Ximen Potian also pulled out his sword, stood up from the chair with difficulty, and ordered:
"Activate the capital defense array!"
"Dong dong dong..."
Bursts of rapid drumbeats sounded, and suddenly a bright light shot out from the palace, like a flower blooming under it, and a translucent light shield enveloped the entire Tianqing City.
When the magic circle appeared, the whole city was in an uproar! Ordinary people had never encountered this kind of phenomenon in their lives.
However, for some practitioners who have lived for a long time, the last time they saw it seems to be a hundred years ago!
"Brother! Don't waste your energy! This formation won't last long! Attack!"
Ximen Wentian issued the order to attack.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."
A large number of boulders and cupping jars flew across the sky and accurately landed on the magic circle, causing the huge magic circle to shake.
The people and soldiers in the whole city looked at the sky at the same time, and they were so timid and frightened that they hid in their houses.
Although the stones were shattered by the magic circle, they were still terrifying.
"City defense crossbow! Attack!"
Ximen Potian issued the order again.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."
Huge arrows shot out from the holes in the city wall that were not protected by the magic circle, like rain.
"defense!"
Ximen Wentian waved his sword, and the shield soldiers in front immediately raised their shields, forming a shield wall above the head of the vanguard.
"Dangdangdang..."
Thick arrows hit the iron shield, some bounced off, while others penetrated, killing the soldiers below.
As soon as a soldier falls, someone will be unlucky, but someone will replenish him immediately.
For a while, you were going back and forth, consuming the energy of the magic circle and consuming the opponent's troops at the same time. It was very lively.
"Your Majesty, if this great formation continues to be used up like this, I'm afraid it won't be able to withstand it for long!"
Zhang He stood next to Ximen Potian, looking up at the magic circle whose light was getting fainter and fainter, with a worried look on his face.
Ximen Potian looked at the city and said expressionlessly:
"I know that once the magic circle is broken, Tianqing City will not be able to resist for long. Now, I can only place my hope on the prince."
"Prince?"
Zhang He looked into the distance, but apart from the densely packed rebels, there was no sign of any other troops.
Time passed little by little, and the two sides were attacking each other like this.
There are more and more corpses below, but the formation in Tianqing City is getting weaker and weaker. It is estimated that they will not be able to hold out for long before they will meet the enemy with swords.
However, the total number of Tiandu City's defenders is only 50,000, and most of them are soldiers who have not fought in many years. The combat effectiveness can be imagined.
The battle gradually progressed from noon to night. The formation was even more dazzling at night, but it was also clearer that the formation was weakening little by little.
Ximen Potian turned his head and glanced at the palace. There were obviously people there who could stop this, but they remained unmoved at all.
In fact, some of them no longer know where they live in the mountains or forests, or they have traveled around the world.
Suddenly, Zhang He, who was looking into the distance, came to the rear of the rebels and exclaimed:
"Your Majesty, look! It's on fire!"
Ximen Potian looked up, and sure enough he saw the rebels' rear area filled with flames and even bursts of shouts of killing.
"Is it Dalang?"
He stood up suddenly, but quickly recovered, sat back, and coughed violently.
At this moment, Hu Banruo hurried up to the top of the tower with Ying and more than a dozen Jinyi guards.
"Master Fox, is that the prince's army arriving?"
Ximen Potian quickly turned his head and asked.
Fox Prajna glanced at the flaming rear and shook his head:
"According to His Highness the Crown Prince's speed, they won't arrive until noon tomorrow at the earliest. They should be other troops. Your Majesty doesn't know something, but His Highness has divided the reinforcements into three groups."
"Three ways?"
Ximen Potian frowned, he didn't know anything about Ximen Hao's plan to send troops.
Suddenly, Zhang He exclaimed again:
"Your Majesty, look! Over there! Tiger flag! It's Marshal Di!"
Ximen Potian turned his head and looked, and sure enough he saw a large army coming in from the flank of the rebels. Looking at the flag of the army, it was Di Hu's Tiger Flag.
"Hahaha! Great! My tiger is here!"
"Alas! It's a pity that there are too few. According to the existing strength, the reinforcements will not exceed hundreds of thousands at most. And they will definitely be exhausted from traveling continuously."
Hu Prajna shook his head, these troops could not win, because King Huainan and King Hongxi were both experts at leading troops in battle!
Sure enough, as his words fell, King Hongxi's 100,000-strong army instantly surrounded and attacked Di Hu's army.
The King of Huainan also issued orders one after another, and at least 80,000 troops behind him turned around and started fighting with Han Yan's army who set fire to it.
The remaining people continued to attack the magic circle and consume the energy of the magic circle.
"Father! I am willing to lead the troops out of the city to fight!"
Ximen Wu stepped forward and looked at the battle below, his hands itched.
"No, Your Highness! You must not open the city gate!"
Fox Prajna quickly stopped him.
If you open the city gate at this time, in case the enemy takes the opportunity to enter.
If Ximen Wentian's army were allowed to enter the city, then this battle would be really difficult to fight.
"Sanlang, please be patient, we can still withstand this formation for a while."
Ximen Potian also felt something was inappropriate and waved his hand.
Ximen Wu had no choice but to retreat.
"Hu Aiqing, do you think there is any way to destroy those siege equipment?"
Ximen Potian looked at the large trebuchets below. Each one was protected by a large number of military experts.
"This... Your Majesty, to be honest, I have no solution for the time being. These instruments are solidly made and cannot be damaged in a short period of time. Maybe Your Highness has a solution."
Fox Prajna bowed.
"Me? What the hell can I do!"
Ximen Wu stared and said.
Fox Prajna twitched his eyebrows but said nothing.
"Hahaha! Sanlang, you are being sentimental. Fox Aiqing is talking about your eldest brother."
Ximen Potian saw the reinforcements and felt much better.
A hint of embarrassment flashed across Ximen Wu's face, and he retreated angrily.
And just when the people on the tower were helpless against the siege equipment, bursts of trumpets suddenly sounded from the other side.
As soon as the horn sounded, the two battlefields suddenly heard a burst of excited shouts, as if they had been given a shot of blood!
