supreme heaven

The fourth day after the autumnal equinox was also the third night when King Linxi and Prince Wuye confronted each other inside and outside Yunjing City.

In the cold wind of midnight, everything was silent, and even the watchmen seemed to have rested. The guards of the Habayashi on duty on each tower had to wrap a thick woolen cloak outside their armor, otherwise even warriors, It's not likely to be safe.After all, this is already the season for snow to fall in the Northland.

However, at this moment, on the tower facing the south gate, an unexpected person came.

"Your Highness, haven't you rested at this late hour?" The captain of the night watch looked at Prince Wuye in front of him, who was dressed in a golden dragon robe, with a surprised tone.

"Okay, Your Highness is worried about the slackness of the city defense soldiers, so I will prepare some wine for you to resist the severe cold." The person standing behind Prince Wuye is none other than Qin Guyue, and behind them are more than a dozen doormen carrying wine jars .

"Your Highness..." The captain of the Habayashi guard declined and said, "Abstaining from alcohol in the army, especially during duty, please forgive me for not accepting it."

Unexpectedly, Prince Wuye smiled and said: "Okay, you don't have to stick to the rules, after all, the soldiers' bodies are more important than any rules, half a bowl for each person, warm your body, and you won't get drunk!"

"This..." Hearing Prince Wuye's words, the soldier commander had no choice but to bow and kneel, and thanked the dozen jars of fine wine for the imperial use.

There was a soft "kuang", and a moment later, all the soldiers on duty were summoned to the gate tower above the south gate tower.Prince Wuye also picked up a porcelain wine bowl, poured half of it, and drank it in one gulp in front of the soldiers on duty, saying: "Everyone, drink a little too!"

Seeing that Prince Wuye started the conversation first, the other Habayashi guards were relieved, and each of them picked up their wine bowls and began to taste wine.

Just above the city tower, the atmosphere of the cold autumn gradually dissipated, and when everyone was drinking and talking more, chaos suddenly occurred!

"It's on fire! It's on fire!" Suddenly, a flame rose in Yunjing City, but it was unclear which house was burning, and the fire was so intense that it quickly spread towards the surrounding houses. In an instant, it turned into a sea of ​​flames.

I saw that pillar of fire soaring into the sky, even from a long distance away, half of Qin Guyue's cheeks were even reddened.

"The fire is so fierce..." Qin Guyue judged, "It's a physiognomy master who is doing it, it's definitely not an ordinary residential house on fire, spies have infiltrated the city!"

"Did you sneak in spies?" The expression on Prince Wuye's face was extremely calm, he even picked up the half bowl of wine in his hand, took a sip and said: "The king of Linxi really has a backhand! "

The moment a pillar of fire rose up inside the city, burning half of the sky red, it seemed to be a clear signal to the enemy troops stationed outside, and the sound of horns outside Yunjing City suddenly blew "woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo"!

Under the cover of the night, countless soldiers with black helmets and black armor hiding in the darkness shouted and killed instantly, and launched an attack on the four gates of Yunjing City at the same time!

At the same time, behind the charging troops, tens of thousands of torches were lit at the same time, and the wilderness instantly became like daylight. The engineers in the army suddenly pulled off the black cloth covering the siege equipment, revealing countless hideous There are various siege mechanisms, such as thunderbolt cannons designed to break through the city walls, armored vehicles against bows and crossbows on the towers, ladders, and rushing vehicles that crash into the city gates, etc.

In an instant, the originally extremely quiet military camp outside the city seemed to have turned from ice into water, and even a monstrous flood, under the cover of siege equipment, was rushing towards Yunjing City, the number one city in the Northland. Come!

"Why do the enemy have so many siege equipment?" A doorman next to Prince Wuye asked with a pale face after seeing the countless ordnance under the torch.

"Obviously, King Linxi knew that something would happen to His Majesty Wu Lie, so he hid these weapons outside the city, and now he brought them out all at once..." Qin Guyue looked at the siege equipment outside the city wall with a serious expression .

"Soldiers come to block, water comes to cover, don't we have no weapons to defend the city?" The expression on Prince Wuye's face is still calm, "He has been preparing for the Holy Martial Flame for so long, why is this palace not afraid of what he will do?"

"Dang, clang, clang..." The sound of the urgent alarm bell rang suddenly, resounding throughout the city, mixed with the low-pitched shouts of the soldiers: "The enemy army is powerful, all members join the battle!"

"Don't panic!" Prince Wuye's eyes were deep, he turned his face to the side, and said to the doormen behind him: "You take other people and go to wipe out the spies in the city, and take... take the wooden armor!"

"Yes, Your Highness!" The doorman responded, and was about to go downstairs, but saw a doorman covered in blood, stumbling towards the tower.

"Why are you so panicked?" Prince Wuye glanced at the disciple, not to mention him, even Qin Guyue next to him had a very bad premonition, but Sheng Wuye was still trying to stay calm.

"Your Highness, Your Highness..." The doorman knocked his head on the ground and said in a sad voice, "The spies in the city are not ordinary soldiers, they are all monks, and there are more than a dozen star-level masters, we...we can't stop them at all!" !"

"What!" Prince Wuye's face was slightly moved, but Qin Guyue guessed that it was the people of the Heavenly Dao League who were attacking. The masters of the Heavenly Dao League raised by King Linxi had been lurking in the city all the time. It has become an internal response.

"Your Highness, what should we do now?" The retainer who came to work with Prince Wuye asked in a deep voice.

After all, everyone has no idea now, everything is too coincidental, so coincidental that people can hardly react, Prince Wuye and his disciples brought some imperial wine to the south gate to work as a soldier. Han's sympathy, who knew that he drank it on the front foot, and then the spies in the city set fire to it, attracting a fierce attack from the army outside the city!

If there were no spies to inform, then it would be hell!

"Put on the wooden armor and suppress!" Prince Wuye thought for a while, and ordered: "This way, we may have a chance!"

"Observe!" The doorman was about to turn around, but Prince Wuye suddenly said again: "I asked you to write the family letter to the family in advance, have you written it?"

The doorman was taken aback for a moment, then nodded and said: "It's all written."

"Then go..." Prince Wuye nodded.

The doorman turned around, knelt down, kowtowed to Prince Wuye and said, "Prince is kind enough to know you, I will repay you in the next life!"

Immediately, more than 30 high-class disciples wearing purple clothes knelt down on the tower at the same time, kowtowed heavily, stood up, and rushed down the tower without moving their heads.

Not long after, in Yunjing City below, rows of wooden armored monsters with a height of more than ten feet appeared on the street. These wooden armored monsters were all wrapped in wooden armor, and only one fist was enough to have a washbasin. The size, like a monster, staggered through the streets of Yunjing City that had turned into a sea of ​​flames.

Naturally, the people of Yunjing City who were already in a mess didn't have time to take care of them, but many people noticed them.

"What monster is this!"

"I do not know……"

"It looks like someone from the prince's side!"

"Then overthrow them! Leave him alone!"

Needless to say, those who set fire to kill people in groups in the sea of ​​flames, and sniped Habayashi Wei were all monks from the Heavenly Dao League. After they confirmed that these wooden monsters were the followers of the Prince's side, they immediately screamed The hungry wolf culled over here!

I saw a doorman wearing a wooden armor in front raised his right hand, and with a "thump", a fine steel crossbow suddenly shot out from the wooden armor in his right hand, directly hitting a monk from the Heavenly Dao League in front. The arrow pierced through the heart, and the huge momentum generated by the machine did not stop. While retreating, it pierced a warrior who followed behind, and it was nailed to a burning wall on the side of the road before stopping.

The power of this arrow was so great that it directly shocked a group of monks from the Heavenly Dao League who were about to charge up, and they didn't dare to go forward, but they couldn't retreat. The doorman shouted: "Masters, today is the time for us to be loyal to His Highness the Crown Prince!"

Behind him, the disciples wearing wooden armor were suddenly excited, driving the wooden armor to take a big step to fight fiercely with the monks of the Tiandao League along the way.

At the same time, the enemy troops outside the four city gates are now on the towers with countless crossbow arrows. Under the suppression of artillery fire, they have protruded to less than a hundred steps below the city wall. As long as they pass the moat, they can immediately climb up The city walls of Yunjing are gone!

However, it is dark at this time, and the opponent's army is full of black clothes and black armor. It is impossible to see the deployment of the opponent's military force. I don't know which city gate is the place where the most troops are concentrated. The soldiers on the tower can only guard The city equipment was running desperately, throwing cannons, crossbow bolts and boulders towards the crowd below.

But Linxi King's side is obviously also prepared. Those thunderbolt cannons set up in the wilderness outside the city are specially aimed at the organs on the towers. Those extremely powerful defense organs can only be fierce for a while. It was about to be misfired under the attack of Thunderbolt Cannon.

At this moment, Prince Wuye, who was standing on the tower of the south gate, frowned as he watched the enemy troops sweeping across the ground, as well as the artillery shells and boulders constantly falling from the sky.

Beside him, from time to time, soldiers would inform him of the battle situation at the city gates immediately, but without exception, it was not good news.

"The enemy has already attacked under the North City Gate!"

"A hand-to-hand battle has already taken place on the city wall at the west city gate, and the first wave of the enemy's attack has just been repulsed."

"Even though the east gate blocked the enemy from the moat, Captain Habayashi, who was defending the city, was unfortunately hit by a shell and died of serious injuries."

"Hand-to-hand combat has begun at the North City Gate!"

"The west city gate is about to fail!"

……

Hearing the news one by one, Prince Wuye beside Qin Guyue looked more and more serious. He took a look and saw that under the south gate, although the rush car was used, it was still equipped with Momen under the command of Prince Wuye. The eyes of the guards who repelled the enemy army were suddenly moved.
