Chapter 5 The siege begins
After the more than 200,000 troops led by Yin Huai rushed to Xijing City, they did not immediately launch an attack as everyone expected. Instead, they set up camps and arranged military formations to surround Xijing City.
The reason why he was not in a hurry to attack was that his plan was obvious. He wanted to attract the troops of other cities in Yongzhou to support the rebels in other cities, and then encircle them. This would be awaiting time and save them from defeating each one for too long.
The Xijing army did not open the door to fight back, but closed the city gates tightly, and followed the orderly strengthened the defense line and created defensive equipment.
But after waiting for four or five days, no reinforcements arrived. Moreover, the visiting Ma reported that the gates of all cities in Yongzhou were closed and could not stand. Yin Huai had to give up his plan to surround the site and attack Xijing.
On this day, the sun was rising, the thick morning mist had not yet dissipated, and the army had been silent for several days and was dispatched.
The 200,000 soldiers were wearing red armor, like the maple forest in autumn, fiery red, and like burning wildfires, carrying the aura of destruction slowly advancing towards the tall city wall on the east side of Xijing.
The army was well-arranged, and Yin Huai still used his three-year siege, but this time he did not launch a progressive attack, but took a three-pronged approach.
I saw huge stone throwers, with their throwing arms suddenly swung, and iron balls burning with red flames were like meteors, drew arcs and hitting heavily on the Xijing City defensive light shield.
Each Divine Machinery Rocket began to tremble, and the crossbow arrows in each iron pipe shot out at the same time. The tail wing with fireworks, like a spear, pierced on the city light shield one by one.
Two huge floating tower ships hundreds of feet long and hundreds of small flying boats hovered above the two wings of the army. Three thousand disciples of the sect performed the art of joint attack, and two torrents of magic like giant dragons rushed towards Xijing City.
Three types of attacks bombard the defensive light shield of Xijing City at the same time. The huge and terrifying power made the light shield shaking. Fortunately, Xijing, as a major border town, has a city's defense mechanism construction much stronger than Hangu Pass. This round of attacks did not cause any damage, but only consumed the defensive strength of the light shield.
The defenders on Xijing City did not sit and wait for death. On the city wall, small catapults, giant crossbows, and magical magic of the wizard demon cultivators also fought back and bombarded the front army.
Dazhen activates defensive magic circles with the military mage to stop these attacks.
The two sides went back and forth, consuming each other's defense and spiritual jade marrow, and fell into a stalemate for a moment.
In the army tent at the Great Episode, Yin Huai was talking to someone who had long face and thin lips, plain hair and hanging collar, his body was like a jade tree, and his temples were like a knife cut. He was the star Lord of Yuheng - Wang Lang.
"If Wang Xingjun comes to support him from all over the world, if he wins this battle, Xingjun will be the first to win."
Although Yin Huai Li usually has a dark face, serious and old-fashioned, she tried hard to smile and speak respectfully when facing Wang Lang.

Upon hearing this, Wang Lang waved his hand quickly and said:
"Yin Xingjun is so serious. I'm just here to help. I dare not take this credit. Yin Xingjun easily took Hangu Pass. Although this Xijing is difficult to chew, I think it's like taking something under your plan."
Wang Lang came to support, which greatly increased Yin Huai's confidence in winning. What this earthquake army lacked was high-end combat power. He was the only one in Fude Realm before. Although there was only one Yuan Jinsheng in Xijing City, he knew that his strength was still much worse than Yuan Jinsheng and he was no match for him at all.
Now with Wang Lang, the two great masters of the blessing realm, are enough to fight against Yuan Jinsheng.
Moreover, with Wang Lang, there were several heads of the Perfect Realm and a large number of Supreme True Realm mages, which made Yin Huai's back stand up instantly, which was also the confidence to quickly issue the order to attack the city.

In the central army, Zuo Siyi covered her armor and rode on a tall and ferocious strange beast. This strange beast is similar to a horse, but the beast is strong in size and has short mane, only more than two inches long, and has a radiant armor on the chest and abdomen.
Its four hooves fly as fast as the wind, crossing mountains and ridges as if walking on flat ground, is the strange beast called "Immortal Horse" raised by the Taoist sect.
This beast is rare, and only generals from the Great Shock Army are qualified to ride.
Lu Xiaoyao beside her looked at the attacks ahead like fireworks, her face a little solemn:

"Zuo Si, do you think we can break through Xijing City?"
"I hope so. After all, the Dazhen Army came with the excitement of breaking through Hangu Pass, coupled with the combined attack of the three thousand disciples of the Tower Ship Flying Boat and the new Divine Machine Crossbow, the advantages are even more obvious, and it should be no problem to take Xijing."
Zuo Sishi analyzed that he would also cheer himself up again.
But Lu Xiaoyao's face was pale and said uneasy:
"I've been feeling restless these days, and I always feel that something bad is going to happen."
Zuo Siyi showed a warm smile and comforted her:
"Are you too nervous? Don't worry, you're over-concerned, it's all right."
"Maybe, I hope I'm over-thinking."
Lu Xiaoyao shook her head and said softly. Zuo Siyi changed the topic and said with emotion:
"On the other side is my eighth uncle. Many of them are colleagues from the former Great Dao Dynasty, and even fellow disciples from our Taoist sect, but now they have to fight each other. It's really hard to predict the world."

Lu Xiaoyao bit her lower lip and asked hesitantly:
"If you really attack the city and see your eighth uncle, will you let him escape?"
Zuo Siyi was stunned when she heard this, then pondered 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 the question you mentioned. If the city is really broken, even if I want to let him escape, Emperor Dazhen and the Taoist Sect will not agree." ωωw..net
"Oh, they are all fates that cannot be escaped."
...
Among the left-wing army, the side Changji was also wearing armor and riding on a horse-shaped beast, looking at the battlefield filled with smoke with excitement.
Tan Zhenzhen, beside him, looked at the devastating attack, feeling uneasy, always feeling too close to the front army, and couldn't help but feel scared.
As if she saw her uneasiness, the side chuckled and said:
"When the city is broken, follow me closely, I will take care of you. Let's rush into the city as soon as possible and grab the credit."

Upon hearing this, Tan Zhenzhen was moved and nodded in agreement.
Since the last time in front of Hangu Pass, the side leader and wanted to use force to occupy her body, and she refused to resist, the relationship between the two has been lukewarm.
After that, Tan Zhenzhen always thinks of someone when she is alone, and regrets arise in her heart.
But what's the use of regret? It's fate.
...
At Hangu Pass, a left-behind soldier yawned and looked at him sleepily. Seeing that there was no one around, he hurriedly walked to the dense forest at the cliff of one side in three or two steps.
He found a thick tree, untied his belt, took out his descendants' roots, and then the sound of water came.
Just as he was freely released, a storm seemed to be heard in the dense forest ahead. He couldn't help but rub his eyes with one hand and looked forward.
Suddenly, green eyes lit up in the thin mist in the jungle, as if bloodthirsty beasts were staring at him.
The soldier was so scared that he shivered all over. The sound of water that had not yet ended came to an abrupt end. He was about to cry for help when suddenly, a black shadow rushed over like lightning.
A snow-white light flashed, and the soldier's head flew high, and fell to the ground with a "thump"...
