The thunderous sound of war drums resounded through the sky, shattering the illusions of the people in Lingjing City and severely waking them up from their unrealistic illusions.
"Is the Western Shang Kingdom going to attack again?"
The people in the city began to panic, and the rumbling drums made them very scared.
The recent war has taken away the courage of the coalition forces. Most of the troops are unwilling to fight again, and some even want to run away and go home to avoid this war.
The Hanling Kingdom has been at peace for many years, and both the people and the army have forgotten the cruelty of war and thought it was just a child's play.
Now that the Xishang Kingdom is coming to kill, the cruelty after seeing the blood has made everyone in the Hanling Kingdom feel a great sense of fear, especially when they find that they can't defeat the opponent at all and can only become the dead souls of the opponent's butcher knife.
, that feeling of fear is even more profound!
Many people even have an idea, that is: This is Lingjing City, and it is not our hometown. Why should we risk our lives to protect this place? Why should Lingjing City be protected?
Once such thoughts appear, they become weeds in people's hearts, spread quickly, and can no longer be stopped.
The war drums outside the city sounded, and the rally horn sounded in the city.
Although the soldiers had thoughts of escaping, as the "acting city lord", Shopkeeper Hong never thought of giving up Lingjing City.
Lu Xiaoyue's order did not allow him to give up.
However, the rally horn sounded many times, but very few soldiers came to assemble. What came was a group of listless stragglers without any strength. The atmosphere in the entire military camp was lifeless.
Seeing this scene, the face of Gu Yi, the city lord of Daling City who was responsible for leading the troops, instantly became ugly.
As the staunchest supporter of Lu Xiaoyue and Moon Martial Arts School, he very much hoped that he could lead the troops to defeat the army of the Western Shang Kingdom and use his own strength to defend the city for Lu Xiaoyue.
However, when he saw these soldiers in front of him, he suddenly felt powerless.
With such soldiers, even gods can't lead them!
However, he could understand this situation very well, and even sympathized with the soldiers who came to gather, because they knew that they were here to die and had no hope of defeating the Western Shang Kingdom, but they had to come...
As a city lord of Hanling Kingdom, Gu Yi is more aware of the combat effectiveness of these soldiers than Lu Xiaoyue, and he is also more aware of their thoughts at this time.
For hundreds of years, it was not just the royal family of the Hanling Kingdom who had been raised like pigs by the Mie Ling Sect, but even the army of the Hanling Kingdom suffered the same fate.
With the protection of the Mieling Sect, they don't need to fight at all, or they can't fight at all. As long as they hide under the protection of the Mieling Sect, everything will be peaceful.
Neither the people nor the army of Hanling Kingdom would have thought that one day, their friendly neighbor Xishang Kingdom would attack them, and the Mieling Sect, as their protector, would never come to help again...
Without the protection of Mie Ling Sect, the people of Hanling Kingdom were all confused.
The sound of war drums is getting louder, denser, and closer...
The army of the Western Shang Kingdom has already moved on!
At this moment, a dark cloud floated into Lingjing City, then went straight to Lu Xiaoyue's small courtyard, and then plunged in.
After a while, Lu Xiaoyue took Jian Zhen and landed on a roof, where he could see the situation outside the city.
Her face looked slightly anxious. The sound of war drums outside the city had been ringing for a long time, and she had heard it from far away.
At first, she thought it would be too late, but she didn't expect it was just right.
"It scared me to death..." Lu Xiaoyue patted her chest with her little hand, her face gradually softened.
She looked at the troops of the Western Shang Kingdom outside the city and asked in a low voice: "Mu Stick, should we start now?"
"Well, let's start!" Jian Zhen nodded without hesitation, but then his tone changed and he added: "But... test them first. If they are willing to stop, we can have a good talk;
If you don't want to..."
"Okay!" Lu Xiaoyue agreed without thinking.
In fact, the following words need not be said so clearly. Everyone knows that the world-destroying formation is a double-edged sword. No matter who strikes first, it will definitely bring endless killings.
If it wasn't extremely critical, Lu Xiaoyue wouldn't want to do this!
As soon as she finished speaking, she jumped down from the roof with Jian Zhen and came to the wide yard. Then she held the long sword and danced gently.
At the same time, the army of the Western Shang Kingdom had arrived outside the city wall of Lingjing City and was quietly waiting for the bugle call to attack.
Gongyang Liangqing sat on the watchtower of the camp, looking towards Lingjing City, as if he had been looking for something.
Last time, the army of the Western Shang Kingdom defeated the combined army of Lingjing City, but Lu Xiaoyue never showed up. Even when the disciples of the Moon Martial Arts School were in danger, she never showed up.
Perhaps she knew the dangers of the battlefield, but this also showed that she had not made up her mind to defend Lingjing City to the death.
"Although this Lu Xiaoyue cannot become a great weapon, she is still a troublesome guy... It would be great if she could appear on the battlefield and live and die with Lingjing City..." Gongyang Liangqing murmured.
At this moment, he had already murderous intentions towards Lu Xiaoyue!
To be honest, if it weren't for the joint army organized by Lu Xiaoyue, he and the army of the Western Shang Kingdom would have gone to nowhere.
Without her presence, the entire Hanling Kingdom would be in disarray. General Cheng Lu could easily capture Yuanchi City in just half a day, and he could also capture this Lingjing City in less than half a day.
Without the obstruction of these combined forces, they would not have had to wait outside the city for half a month, wasting a lot of time and missing many good opportunities.
The trouble this time was all caused by this little girl named Lu Xiaoyue.
It was she who gave the people of Hanling Kingdom, or the city lords of each city, the courage and hope to unite and resist the Western Shang Kingdom.
Now, he and General Cheng Lu must use their strength to crush this hope with their own hands!
Gong Yang Liangqing's thoughts were still on Lu Xiaoyue, when he suddenly heard a long horn sound.
Toot toot!
The horn of attack has sounded, and the army of the Western Shang Kingdom has begun to attack.
There wasn't much special about city sieges in this era. They were all about ladders, chariots, and trebuchets.
There are also some heavy defensive weapons in the city, but with low morale, it is almost impossible to defend against the Western Shang Kingdom's army.
After experiencing the last disastrous defeat, those Thirty Cities Allied Forces no longer had the courage to go out of the city to meet the enemy, so they could only help defend on the city wall.
Then, in less than ten minutes, the soldiers of the Western Shang Kingdom had already rushed onto the wall of Lingjing City.
