After hearing what the Marquis of Nannan said, the herald took the order and left. After a while, the horn sounded through the sky.
"Look! The enemy has retreated!"
"The enemy has retreated!"
Upon hearing the news, the defenders raised their eyes and looked below the city wall, and were shocked to find that the Zhou army, as dense as a swarm of ants, was retreating like a tide.
"Withdrawal!"
"Finally withdrawn the troops!"
"Great! We won!"
However, before the Yunan Pass defenders could cheer and celebrate, they discovered that the retreating Zhou Dynasty troops suddenly turned around and changed directions, and actually gathered in front of the city gate.
What made them even more frightened was that a group of unusually tall and naked barbarians suddenly rushed out from among the soldiers.
These barbarians have strong bronze muscles all over their bodies, and each one of them carries a huge bronze chain hammer!
The barbarian army charged very fast and rushed to the city gate in the blink of an eye. Immediately, they all took action, and the huge bronze chain hammer crashed on the solid city gate.
Bang!
With a heavy and trembling sound, the entire thick stone city gate was instantly smashed, revealing the dark city gate opening.
These barbarians looked down at the city. The first few among them even pointed their bronze chain hammers at the city tower and roared loudly.
"Damn it! Why did these barbarians show up?"
As soon as the city gate was broken, the defenders immediately exploded.
"No matter what! Fight!"
The Yunan Pass guard's face changed for a long time, and finally he gritted his teeth and issued the order.
In an instant, countless archers raised their crossbows and aimed at the barbarians.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
In an instant, arrows rained down from the sky!
However, when the arrows fell on the barbarians, they seemed to hit steel plates, making bursts of metal and stone sounds, and could not penetrate at all.
On the contrary, these barbarians, after being baptized by a wave of arrows, suddenly looked up to the sky and roared, and then rushed forward, wildly waving the copper hammers in their hands, and beating the huge stone gate.
"Bang bang bang..."
One after another, it was deafening.
"Crack!"
The sound of a piece of brick breaking was clearly audible.
Immediately afterwards, the sound of cracking rocks continued to sound, and the cracking continued.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Accompanied by heavy knocks one after another, the hard city gate was finally beaten open by these barbarians, revealing a passage that could allow people to pass through.
Subsequently, countless barbarian warriors swarmed in.
"ah……"
Some ordinary soldiers were caught off guard and fell off the city wall screaming.
The leader of the Xiongman tribe took the lead and rushed into the Yunanguan City, sweeping all the way through.
The other barbarian soldiers followed closely behind and charged in mightily.
"No!"
"Run quickly!"
The city suddenly fell into chaos. Some of the timid ones dropped their weapons and turned around to flee, but more of them were chased by barbarian warriors, with blood splattered three feet away.
"Huh! They're just a bunch of despicable ants."
Looking at the chaotic scene in the city, Taoist Hexuan, who rushed over urgently, stood in mid-air and said with an indifferent expression.
After saying that, he made a seal with both hands, and a huge sword appeared
Suddenly appeared out of thin air, volleying towards the barbarians who rushed into the city and slashed at them.
"Roar!"
Facing a powerful Taoist-level enemy like Taoist Hexuan, the Xiongman clan leader did not dare to neglect. He roared angrily, and the bronze sledgehammer in his hand suddenly surged, turning into a huge hammer shadow more than ten feet long, flying straight towards Taoist Hexuan.
The sword smashed away.
"clang!"
The two magic weapons collided, and a violent metallic sound suddenly erupted.
A terrifying ripple of air swept across the city, and many ordinary soldiers on the city tower were knocked down and smashed to pieces.
Fortunately, the city wall was thick enough, and except for a very small number of ordinary soldiers, most of the people hid at the bottom of the wall and were safe.
"Kill!"
Taking advantage of this gap, the remaining defenders in the city immediately mobilized and took up weapons to fight with the barbarian warriors who rushed into the city.
However, the defenders' resistance was obviously in vain.
Although the defenders tried their best to stop them, they still could not stop the ferocity of the barbarians.
"cough!"
Taoist Hexuan's face turned red and he swallowed a mouthful of old blood that almost spurted out.
He stared hard at the Xiong Barbarian leader, his pupils shrinking sharply.
These barbarians are extremely powerful, and if they compete with their Taoist cultivators in terms of strength, the gains outweigh the losses.
On the other side, the Xiongman clan leader touched the cut scar on his face, his eyes widening.
These Niubi's skills were superb and their swordsmanship was so sharp that they could hurt him with just their sword energy.
Fortunately, he is thick-skinned, otherwise half of his head would be gone this time.
"Open the city gate!"
The Xiong Man clan leader glared at Taoist Hexuan angrily, turned around and roared angrily, and a layer of pale yellow light appeared on the surface of his body, surrounding him like a shield.
The barbarian warriors also roared in unison, and a layer of gray-brown rock and soil energy appeared on their bodies, covering their bodies like armor.
They roared and charged forward, waving the giant hammers in their hands and slamming them against the Yunan Pass city wall.
Boom!
Following the huge shaking sound, countless rubbles fell from the city wall.
"not good!"
Seeing that several more holes were smashed into the city wall, the morale of the defenders dropped again.
"No way, the city has been destroyed, we are no match for you!"
"Fellow Taoist, if we don't have to worry about running out of firewood if we leave the green hills behind, we'd better retreat quickly!"
Seeing that the Yunan Pass garrison was being defeated one after another and had no fighting spirit anymore, they all evacuated back. Outside the city, there were soldiers led by the Marquis of Nannan who were watching eagerly. The monks who came with Taoist Hexuan spoke one after another to persuade him.
Hearing this, Taoist Hexuan looked ferocious for a moment, and then sneered: "Humph, how can these mere barbarians know the majesty of our orthodox monks?"
After finishing speaking, Taoist Hexuan waved his palm lightly, and immediately he saw a bright sword light suddenly light up, piercing the sky.
