On the tall tower of Hangu Pass, two people stood leaning on the railing, watching the battle below.
A young man in his twenties, wearing dark gold armor, with slender eyebrows and yellowish skin, and a bookish air.
He looked a little nervous and worried, and asked a general next to him with a trembling voice:
"Commander Yang, can we hold on?"
This Commander Yang has a tall and slender figure, a gray complexion, eyes like copper bells, a slightly raised goatee beard, and a pair of curved horns on his head. He is clearly a demon clan.
His expression was solemn, but he still smiled and comforted the young man:
"Don't worry, young prince. As long as I, Old Yang, am here, I will protect the city wholeheartedly. The city is still there and everyone is here."
This young man is the commander-in-chief of Hangu Pass, the son of the Eighth Prince, named Zuo Huaizhi. As a commoner, it is unexpected that he can hold such an important position, but it is also obvious that the Eighth Prince values his son.
At this moment, the sound transmission conch at Commander Yang's hand trembled slightly, and then a rapid voice sounded:
"Commander Yang, I am the maintenance mage of the city defense formation, and I have something important to report."
"explain."
The mage continued:
"The earthquake's attack is too violent, and the spiritual jade that delivers mana to the formation is consumed too quickly. If this continues, the city defense formation will not be able to support it."
Hearing this, Zuo Huaizhi's face changed drastically, and he asked in a panic:
"How could this happen? How could this happen? What should we do? What should we do?"
Commander Yang couldn't help but frowned when he saw that the young prince was so out of his mind and lacked composure when things happened, but he still said in a kind tone:
"Young prince, there is no need to panic. Our spirit jade is consumed too quickly, and so is the other party's. Now let's see who can last longer."
Then he said in a deep voice to Fa Luo:
"Narrow down the scope of the city defense formation, and first try to protect important places such as the city wall and the grain and armory, so that they can be repaired in time. As for the city behind, there is no need to consider it now."
"But if this happens, will the people in the city suffer?"
The young prince Zuo Huaizhi turned pale and said unbearably.
Commander Yang was becoming more and more dissatisfied with the young prince. How could such a woman's benevolence achieve such great things? He said in an impatient voice:
"My young prince, as the commander of the army, you must be firm-minded and hard-hearted. You must not be indecisive and lose the big for the sake of small things. If those untouchables in the city die, they can be considered as contributing to the defense of the city."
Seeing Commander Yang's displeasure, Zuo Huaizhi felt worried and said in a low voice:
"Xiao Wang understands, understands, Xiao Wang will obey the commander's order."
Commander Yang did not want to embarrass him too much, so he laughed and said:
"Haha, although Yuan Tianshi said that I am the main military affairs here, but you, the young prince, are the commander-in-chief of Hangu Pass. I am only assisting the young prince in defending the city. Therefore, the young prince can make suggestions on all military affairs.

Zuo Huaizhi smiled dryly and nodded, but his heart was filled with sadness. When he was appointed as the commander-in-chief of Hangu Pass, he was indeed very proud and wanted to do something great.
But after arriving at Hangu Pass, all military affairs were controlled by Commander Yang, and he had no way to get involved. Only then did he realize that he was just a puppet.
Facing the menacing earthquake army, the overwhelming boulder and crossbow attack, and the city that could be breached at any time, he felt like an abandoned son, a cannon fodder that could be discarded at any time.
After Commander Yang's order was passed on, the precarious city wall finally held on under the intensive attack.
But in the city behind Hangu Pass, there was a tragic situation. Houses collapsed, fires broke out, weeping and screaming, and livestock neighed.
At this time, Da Zhenchao's attack had lasted for almost two hours. Facing the opponent's unrelenting attack, Commander Yang's face became increasingly ugly, and he couldn't help cursing in his heart:
"Damn it, this earthquake is really costing lives and money. Even now, not a single soldier has attacked. Instead, they are constantly throwing rocks and shooting crossbows. This is a complete waste of money."
"It makes me feel bad to see you. If you convert all these into spiritual jade essence and give them to me, I will definitely open the city gate and give you a warm welcome. Oh, it's great to have money."
The trebuchets and divine rocket vehicles that were responsible for the earthquake lasted for more than two hours, and finally stopped when they struck from sunrise to sunrise.
At this time, the Hangu Pass city defense formation was already riddled with holes. Fortunately, this formation was also designed by a Taoist sect. It was built with a huge amount of materials during the great earthquake, so it was able to survive the earthquake.

Just when the soldiers at Hangu Pass were about to breathe a sigh of relief, suddenly, two huge floating ships with a length of 100 feet slowly flew towards the rear of the army from the big earthquake.
It was followed by densely packed small airships on both sides, as many as hundreds.
There were ten Taoist disciples sitting cross-legged on each small boat, and there were even hundreds of people on the huge boat.
The two building ships arrived at the two wings of Hangu Pass respectively. The terrain of Hangu Pass was dangerous, and only a narrow mountain road in front of the pass was passable. There were dangerous peaks and cliffs on both sides.
The emergence of the building ships eliminated this advantage, and the two wings of the pass were also exposed to the attack of the Great Earthquake Army.
I saw that the tower ship first held up a transparent light shield to protect the tower ship and the flying boats on both sides. Then, the three thousand disciples of Condensation Pills on the tower ship and the flying boats chanted incantations and cast colorful spells one after another.
Dharma comes together.
Two terrifying torrents of spells were formed, like giant dragons, and they rushed toward the head of Hangu Pass.
With two loud "boom boom" sounds, the city defense formation at Hangu Pass suddenly flickered and seemed to burst apart at any time, and the solid city wall also shook violently under the bombardment of the torrent of magic.
The soldiers on the city wall were unsteady for a moment, swaying from side to side, even staggering and falling to the ground.
Zuo Huaizhi couldn't stand firmly and sat down on the ground. He couldn't help but exclaimed:

"Has the city wall been breached? What should we do?"
Commander Yang is worthy of being a great demon with a body of fifty feet, and his strength is comparable to that of a Taoist monk in the Perfection Realm. He stood there as steady as a mountain, but there was a turbulent wave in his heart:
"The power of the combined attack technique of three thousand disciples is so terrifying. It seems that this city defense formation cannot hold on any longer."
He glanced at the panicked young prince with some disgust, and shouted to the sound-transmitting conch:
"The mages of the city-protecting formation should no longer be stingy with the spiritual jade marrow, and invest all their resources into the formation to support the city-protecting formation."
As soon as he finished speaking, the second wave of attacks from building ships and airships came again, with loud roars and shaking of the city walls. At this time, cracks began to appear in the city defense formation, as dense as a spider web.
Commander Yang did not expect that the opponent's combined attack technique was so fast. He had also learned the Taoist's combined attack technique. Most of them consisted of three to five people, and at most dozens of people. As a means of suppressing the bottom of the box, it could usually only be used once.
Even if you use it again, you still need to meditate and adjust your breath, and then restore your mana.
However, the previous attack had just ended, and the second attack followed a moment later. The interval between casting spells was so short, which was beyond his expectation.
After realizing that something was wrong, Commander Yang yelled at the sound transmission conch:
"All mages and demon cultivators are ready. When the city defense formation breaks down, put up defensive shields to protect the soldiers around you."

A moment later, the combined attack technique of three thousand disciples attacked again. With two roars, the defensive formation could no longer hold up, and the protective light shield shattered and dissipated into nothing.
