After Yin Huai's command of more than 200,000 troops rushed all the way to Xijing City, they did not launch an attack immediately as everyone expected. Instead, they set up camp, formed military formations, and completely surrounded Xijing City.
The reason why he did not rush to attack was that his plan was obvious. He wanted to surround Xijing City to attract troops from other cities of the Yongzhou rebels to rush to support, and then encircle and suppress it. This way, he could wait for his work and save the long time of defeating them one by one.
The army in Xijing did not open the door to counterattack. Instead, they closed the city gates tightly and worked step by step to strengthen the defense lines and manufacture defensive equipment in an orderly manner.
However, after waiting for four or five days in a row, no reinforcements arrived, and the scouts came to report that the gates of all the cities in Yongzhou were closed and they could not hold out. Yin Huai had to give up the plan to encircle the point and call for reinforcements, and prepared to attack Xijing.
On this day, the sun was rising and the thick morning fog had not yet dissipated. The earthquake troops, who had been silent for several days, were dispatched.
Two hundred thousand soldiers were dressed in red armor, like the maple forest in autumn, fiery red, and like burning mountain fires, carrying the aura of destruction and slowly advancing towards the tall city wall on the east side of Xijing.
With the army in good formation, Yin Huai still used his three siege skills, but this time he did not launch a progressive attack, but a three-pronged attack.
I saw huge trebuchets, their throwing arms suddenly swung up, and iron balls burning with red flames, like meteors, crossed arcs and hit the Xijing City defense shield heavily.
Every divine machine rocket car began to tremble, and the crossbow arrows in every iron pipe shot out at the same time. The tail fins with fireworks, like spears, pierced the city protective shield one by one.
Hovering above the two wings of the army were two huge floating ships with a length of 100 feet and as many as hundreds of small airships. Three thousand disciples of the sects on them were performing combined attack techniques. Two torrents of spells that were like giant dragons struck fiercely.
Blast towards Xijing City.
The three attacks simultaneously bombarded the defensive mask of Xijing City. The huge and terrifying force caused the mask to shake. Fortunately, as Xijing is an important border town, the city's defense mechanism is much stronger than that of Hangu Pass. This round of attacks did not cause any damage.
The slightest damage only consumes the defensive strength of the mask.
The defenders on Xijing City did not sit still and wait for death. On the city walls, small trebuchets, giant crossbows, and the spells of wizards and demon cultivators also came back and bombarded the army in front of the earthquake.
The mages accompanying the Great Earthquake activated defensive formations one after another to block these attacks.
The two sides went back and forth, consuming each other's defensive power and spiritual jade essence, and fell into a stalemate for a while.
In the military tent during the earthquake, Yin Huai was talking to a man. This man had a long face, thin lips, plain hair and a hanging collar. His body was like a jade tree, and his temples were like a knife cut. He was none other than the Star King of Yuheng - Wang Lang.
"Thank you, King Xingjun, for coming all the way to support us. If we win this battle, Mr. Xing will be the first to take the credit."
Although Yin Huai usually had a dark face, stern and serious, but at this time when facing Wang Lang, he tried his best to smile and spoke respectfully.

Wang Lang heard this and hurriedly waved his hands and said:
"Yin Xingjun is serious. I'm just here to help. I don't dare to take all the credit for this achievement. Yin Xingjun easily captured Hangu Pass. Although Xijing is difficult to conquer, I think under your strategizing, it's like picking something out of a bag."
Wang Lang came to support, which greatly increased Yin Huai's confidence in victory. What this earthquake army lacked was high-end combat power. Before, he was the only one in the Ford Realm. Although there was only Yuan Jinsheng in Xijing City, he knew that his
His strength is still far behind Yuan Jinsheng, and he is no match for him at all.
Now with Wang Lang, they are two great masters in the realm of merit, who are enough to fight against Yuan Jinsheng.
Moreover, along with Wang Lang came several leaders of the Perfection Realm and a large number of Zhenzhen Realm mages, which instantly straightened Yin Huai's back and gave him the confidence to quickly issue the order to attack the city.
…
Among the central army, Zuo Sisi was covered with armor and was riding on a tall and ferocious beast. This beast was similar in shape to a horse, but the beast had a strong body and a short mane, no more than two inches long. There were thorns on the chest and abdomen.
Linjia.
Its four hooves fly as fast as the wind, and it climbs over mountains and ridges as if walking on flat ground. It is the strange beast known as the "fairy horse" kept in captivity by the Taoist sect.
This beast is rare in number, and only generals of the Great Earthquake army are qualified to ride it.
Lu Xiaoyao, who was beside him, looked at the torrent of spells that were attacking in front of him like fireworks, with a serious look on his face:

"Zuo Si, do you think we can break Xijing City?"
"I hope so. After all, the Great Earthquake Army came with the exciting momentum of conquering Hangu Pass. Coupled with the combined attack of three thousand disciples of the Lou Chuan and the new divine machine crossbow, the advantage is even more obvious. It should be no problem to capture Xijing."
Zuo Sisi analyzed and encouraged herself again.
But Lu Xiaoyao looked pale and said uneasily:
"I've been feeling restless these past few days, always feeling like something bad is going to happen."
Zuo Sisi showed a warm smile and comforted:
"Are you too nervous? Don't worry, you are worrying too much. It's okay."
"Maybe, I hope I'm worrying too much."
Lu Xiaoyao shook her head and said softly. Zuo Sisi changed the topic and said with emotion:
"Across from me is my eighth uncle. Many of them are colleagues from the Great Zhen Dynasty. There are also fellow sects from our Taoist sect. Now we have to fight against each other. It's really unpredictable."

Lu Xiaoyao bit her lower lip and asked hesitantly:
"If we really invade the city and see your eighth uncle, will you let him escape?"
Zuo Sisi was stunned when he heard this, then thought for a moment and said with a wry smile:
"I don't know, but I won't hurt him. I can't make the decision on this issue you mentioned. If I really break the city, even if I want to let him escape, the Emperor Da Zhen and Daomen will not agree." ωωw..net
"Oh, this is a fate that cannot be escaped."
…
Among the left-wing troops, the commander of the army was also wearing a suit of armor, riding on a horse-shaped beast, looking excitedly at the smoke-filled battlefield.
Tan Zhenzhen, who was beside him, looked at this devastating attack and felt uneasy. He always felt that he was too close to the front army and couldn't help but feel scared.
As if seeing her uneasiness, Bian Changji smiled and said:
"When the city is destroyed soon, follow me closely. I will take good care of you. Let's rush into the city as soon as possible and grab the credit."

Hearing this, Tan Zhenzhen was moved and nodded in agreement.
Ever since the last time they were in front of Hangu Pass, Bian Zhangji wanted to use force and take possession of her body, but she resisted and refused. The relationship between the two has been lukewarm.
After that, Tan Zhenzhen always thought of someone when she was alone, and felt regret in her heart.
But what's the use of regretting, this is fate.
…
At Hangu Pass, a soldier who stayed behind yawned and looked around sleepily. Seeing no one around, he hurriedly walked to the dense forest on one side of the dangerous peak in two or two steps.
He found a thick tree, unfastened his belt and took out the roots, and then the sound of rushing water came.
Just when he was releasing it freely, there seemed to be a rustling sound coming from the dense forest in front of him. He couldn't help but rub his eyes with one hand and looked forward.
Suddenly, green eyes lit up in the thin mist of the dense forest, like bloodthirsty beasts staring at him.
The soldier was so frightened that he trembled all over. The sound of water that had not yet ended suddenly stopped. He was about to scream for help when suddenly, a black figure rushed over as fast as lightning.
A flash of snow-white light flashed, and the soldier's head flew high into the air and landed on the ground with a "plop"...
