Star Trace Gate

On the city wall at the southern entrance of Shangyu County, Guo Feng listened to Lao Liu's "greetings" without blushing or panting, and was not angry at all. He just replied loudly: "When two armies fight, what is being tested is the ability of the commander and whether the soldiers of the three armies can fight for their lives. Can my solid city wall collapse just because you are good at talking?"

"Little Prince Huai, Dragon Leader of the Green Camp, the two of you listen carefully! I have 90,000 elite soldiers in Shangyu County, and a fifth-grade city defense formation. It is like a furnace inside. No matter how many magical powers you have, I can refine them all in one furnace!"

"You are just a bandit army, and you want to capture our important border town? It's just a foolish dream! Even if you two were still alive, you wouldn't be able to do that!"

"Quickly withdraw the troops, go home and suckle your wet nurse's milk, which is enough to satisfy your hunger!"

"...!"

Guo Feng is also an old troll. He has been leading troops for many years and is good at defending cities. His ancestors have all been scolded to death, and he is a player who is "immune to magic attacks".

A few miles away, in front of the army, Ren looked at the dragon head with some surprise and asked, "He has 90,000 elite soldiers? And a fifth-grade city defense formation?"

"Humph, everyone can brag." The dragon head rode on the horse, and said calmly with a pretty face: "He has a shitty 90,000 elite soldiers. Before the war, the always late Third Prince sent a message. He claimed that there are only 80,000 soldiers in Shangyu County at most, and many of them were temporarily recruited to fill the numbers. The fifth-grade city defense formation is real. It was refined here by the leader of the previous generation of Tianjiansi, but it is only the initial stage of the fifth grade, not unbreakable."

Ren nodded slightly and said no more.

At the front of the army, Lao Liu was as tall as a giant spirit, walking on the ground, stirring up the rustling of mountains and forests.

He faced north and shouted, "Fuck you!"

"Listen up, Shangyu County. I have only one thing to say! If the defenders in the city scatter and run away, you can save your lives. If you resist stubbornly, wait for the army to rush into the city and massacre the whole city for three days. I will make you Shangyu hundreds of miles away. When the spring breeze comes next year, we will celebrate Qingming Festival together! ”

With a loud shout, Lao Liu urged the giant figure to punch forward.

"Boom!"

With one punch, the earth cracked; the trees on the nearby mountains and forests on both sides collapsed and turned into countless flying debris.

Not far away, the defenders on the city gate were so frightened by the sight of Old Liu, who was like a giant holding up the sky, and was so powerful that their faces turned pale and their lips turned purple.

We only have one life, and with such a huge army in front of us, who wouldn’t be afraid?

King Huai wanted to massacre the city, which made the people in the city panic-stricken and trembling. After looking at the giant outside the city, their fear of fighting became even stronger.

However, Ren Ye's goal is to conquer this place and expand the territory, so it is impossible to do so without people. Therefore, the massacre in the city is just a scare tactic. It is a strategy of attacking the city first and conquering the heart first. And Lao Liu is not a good person at first glance, so his words are convincing.

On the city wall, Guo Feng lazily replied: "Massacre the city? Why don't you try to see if you can step into the South Gate! You are just a second-rank official, but you are so arrogant...!"

"Ah."

Old Liu had finished pretending to be powerful and achieved his goal, so he was too lazy to talk nonsense with the other party. He just sneered, slowly turned around and shouted: "Let's fight!!"

"Whoosh whoosh...!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Ba Chuanzi, Xu Bangzi, Er Leng and others in the army formation jumped into the air one after another, came to the open space in front of the formation, and entered a collective state of meditation.

“Swish, swish, swish…!”

One after another, large siege magic weapons flew out from the brows of more than a dozen people.

The third-grade magic weapon - a swarm of rockets, more than 200 in total, appeared densely on the ground; more than 100 third-grade spirit-gathering cannons, flashing with dim light, lined up neatly in front of the army; more than 1,000 formation-breaking crossbows, almost covering the entire official road in front...

These siege magic weapons were provided by the Lich Kingdom to support Qingliang Prefecture. They were delivered to the Green Camp bandit army within one day and can be stored in the consciousness space.

At the rear of the army, Fatty Wu and other leaders also began to order the bandit soldiers to finally assemble large siege equipment.

A number of killing weapons, such as the Thousand-legged Fire Dragon Chariot, Lu Gong Chariot, and Nanfeng Cannon, also appeared one after another. These siege weapons were too large and could not be stored in the consciousness space. After assembly, each one was neatly placed like a pillar supporting the sky.

On the south wall, Guan Feng saw this scene and frowned: "In just three days, they were able to prepare so many siege weapons! It seems that the rumors are true. Emperor Wanwu has wanted to fight this battle... for a long time."

In the army formation, Ren also sent a message to Li Yan: "According to the previously agreed upon strategy, when the battle begins, you will lead fifty fourth-grade soldiers to attack."

"Steady!" Li Yan nodded slightly.

"brush!"

After everything was ready, Yao Chi flew into the sky, holding a command flag and moving forward.

"Hurrah!"

Thousands of pre-selected magical masters stepped forward, picked up various siege magic weapons on the ground, and marched into battle formation.

"Start the war!!"

Yao Chi waved the flag.

"Bang bang bang...!"

At a command, the Soul Gathering Cannon began to roar, shaking the earth, and fired bullets that flashed with orange light.

"Whoosh whoosh...!"

A swarm of rockets emitted billowing white smoke, filling the official road. In just a few breaths, tens of thousands of rockets were fired, covering the sky and the sun, and were thrown into the city.

In an instant, the entire Shangyu County seemed to be covered by a swarm of meteorites, helplessly enduring the bullets and rockets falling from the sky. The city walls were shaking slightly and the earth was shaking.

"Boom!"

A burst of clear light rushed up from the center of Shangyu County, and dense array patterns flashed on the four walls. This place seemed like a fairyland.

The city defense formation has been activated, shining as brightly as the sun, and holding up a clear light barrier to block the endless arrows and artillery shells.

But even so, some fish slipped through the net and hit the city walls. Before the soldiers and city defense equipment could react, they were instantly melted in the flames of war.

Guo Feng's face turned pale, and he waved his hands and shouted, "Wave the flag, all soldiers ready to fight, get on the city wall!"

"Swipe!"

The soldiers on the city wall were not afraid of the artillery fire, they just stood at specific positions and waved the command flags.

“Kill, kill, kill…!”

A large number of soldiers, with red eyes, kept shouting to give themselves courage, and rushed to the top of the city wall.

The bombardment of the siege equipment continued, and Li Yan, who was in the middle of the battle, shook his neck slightly and shouted to the people he brought with him: "Everyone, fight with me to strengthen the power of the Northern Expedition Army!"

“Damn it, a battle in a county actually made my blood boil!!” A young fourth-rank master instantly mobilized his star power and shouted, “This battle is interesting. I’m going to give you a free pass on this part!”

"Boom!"

A young and beautiful woman made hand gestures, controlled a golden gong, and flew straight up: "Haha, this Daqian land is rich, if we can plunder for three days, it won't be a wasted trip!"

"Whoosh whoosh...!"

The fourth-grade masters of supernatural powers from the Fraud Chamber of Commerce rose into the sky, and among them were seven or eight people wearing black clothes who were keeping watch on the New Year in order to confuse the audience.

The supernatural being stood suspended in the air, and Li Yan stood in front of them. His personal aura surged to the extreme, and he shouted: "Fourth-rank person, follow me into Shangyu!"

"boom!"

With a roar, he instantly crashed into Shangyu South Gate.

Behind him, all the powerful warriors used their own magical weapons to bombard Shangyu County's city defense formation, attempting to collapse the city gates and lure the army in.

"Bang bang...!"

"Boom!"

In an instant, the clear light of the city defense formation was shaken by the dense bombardment of fourth-grade magic weapons, and the light flickered.

When Guan Feng saw this scene, he immediately became anxious. He turned back, clasped his fists, and shouted to the city gate: "Elder Fushan, please lead the masters of my Yulin Party to fight!!"

"Ugh."

In the city, an old man's sigh, like the sound of Zen, reached everyone's ears.

"brush!"

A whisk rose into the sky.

An old man in a green robe flew out of the city. After only three steps in the air, he arrived at the South Gate.

"Whoosh whoosh...!"

A group of Yu Lin Party masters, as well as those with magical powers in the army, all flew up and stood behind the old man.

The old man called Fushan stood there holding a whisk, looking as ethereal as an immortal. He just looked directly at Li Yan and said, "More than fifty fourth-grade people are probably not enough!"

"Let me try first!" Li Yan, dressed in black, looked at him and slowly hooked his hand: "Old man, each of us serves his own master, there is no point in talking too much! Do you dare to leave the city defense formation and fight?!"

Fushan looked at him with neither sadness nor joy, and said softly: "I am an old man of over 100 or 200 years old, why shouldn't I dare to fight! Today, my Yulin Party brought the war to my hometown, so I must bear the consequences."

As soon as he finished speaking, he raised the whisk, waved it lightly forward, and said loudly: "—Dust off!"

"brush!"

The silk thread of the whisk grew endlessly, covering the sky and the sun as it whipped towards Li Yan, as if trying to sweep away all the dust in the world.

Li Yan's body was enveloped by the silk threads and light of the whisk, and his figure disappeared.

"brush!"

The old man led more than a hundred people with magical powers and flew out through the South Gate.

In the area covered by the whisk, Li Yan entered into a state of calm meditation. He just raised his right hand and stroked the palm of his left hand.

A sharp breath pierced the skin, and blood instantly gushed out from the palm of his left hand.

"You want to trap me with just a whisk?"

Li Yan raised his hand and waved it. A strong blood energy instantly filled his body. He said loudly: "Burn my blood and see through the illusion!"

"Boom!"

The red blood exploded when it met the wind, rising dozens of feet high, with a power that seemed to burn the sky.

"Crash!"

The threads of the whisk retreated like endless spirit snakes.

The world returned to normal.

"Ong!"

Li Yan raised his right arm and threw a punch across the air, hitting Fushan's body directly.

"brush!"

The other party did not meet the light, but just withdrew and retreated.

"Hunyuan Jindou!"

"Boom!"

A beam of golden light poured down and hit Fushan from above.

Although Li Yanren had not arrived yet, his method of practicing both Taoism and martial arts had already frightened all the masters present.

In the battle formation, Fan Ming stared at Li Yan, then turned to Ren Ye and said, "You have a friend like this... your career path will be much broader."

"How can a tomb guardian personally selected by the Emperor be bad?" Ren Ye said calmly, "I have more than a hundred friends like him!"

"......!" Fan Ming ignored him.

Ren also turned his head to look at the dragon head: "High-level fighting, the army can move forward!"

"Very good."

The dragon head nodded, took a deep breath and shouted: "Attack the city!"

"kill!!"

"Fight with me!"

"...!"

Fatty Wu and other leaders ordered the bandit troops to charge forward.

In an instant, endless troops filled the official road, protecting the equipment going up to the city and rushing towards the South Gate.

On the city wall, Guo Feng, with sweat on his forehead, looked at the bandit army that was like ants, and kept muttering: "Don't worry, don't worry... ahead."
