Chapter 243 The Fall of Zhonglu Mansion
After hearing this, Ji Cang became unsteady and almost fell to the ground.
The Qin army was already so powerful that the Ye army had no choice but to defend the city. Now with the poison of plague poison, the Zhonglu Mansion may no longer have any room to resist.
Zhang He's expression on the side became extremely gloomy. He had just arrived at the Zhonglu Mansion. He originally thought that the combined army of 400,000 could resist for a while until the Qin army withdrew on its own. He did not expect that the Qin army would use such tactics. destructive means
"Damn it! Ning Wu, a dignified general, actually used such evil methods. He deserves to be the commander of the fifth army!"
Ji Cang understood the current plan and could only try his best to remedy the situation. Standing on the city wall and sighing was useless, so he quickly accepted the reality.
"Transfer all the military doctors here and see if those who are not dead can be treated."
Suddenly a big hand pinched his shoulder, Zhang He said in a deep voice
"I'm afraid we don't have time. Let's command the soldiers to defend the city."
Ji Cang turned back and looked into the distance. At this time, smoke was billowing outside the city, and countless fireballs fell from the sky and landed within the city wall.
Ten thousand vanguard troops have been rapidly approaching the city wall. Accompanying the army's charge are ladders and chariots
"Defend the enemy! Defend the enemy!"
After the fireball, there was a rain of arrows in the sky. For a while, the city screamed and screamed, and countless people and soldiers were shot to death.
The plague poison last night caused great harm to the soldiers in the city. This poison could not help but kill people, and it was contagious very quickly, so most of the army soon lost its combat effectiveness.
The people in the city fell into extreme panic and gathered at the south city gate, wanting to open the city gate and escape. For this reason, Ji Cang and Zhang He could only detach a part of their troops to stop these rioting people.
Once the south city gate is opened and the Qin army seizes the opportunity, they will rush into the city directly. In the case of hand-to-hand combat, the Night Army is no match for the Qin Army.
Under the cover of the rain of arrows, the vanguard army quickly arrived at the city wall. The ladders and chariots were directly set up on the city wall and began to rush into the city.
As time went by, more and more Qin troops climbed onto the city wall. The night army was killed and retreated steadily. It was about to lose the city defense and retreat into the inner city to fight.
At this time, the strong men of the Night Kingdom in the city could not sit still, and a blazing sword light was slashed out again, heading towards the Qin army on the wall.
Bang!
A sword light shot from a distance, instantly defeating the sword light
Han Qing came to the clouds with two other Guiyuan Realm experts. He looked at Jinghong in the city and sneered.
"Jinghong? You, an old turtle, are really alive and not dead yet?"
Jinghong looked at the three Han and Qing people in the air, and his face turned livid instantly.
"Demon Slayer Division! You still can't hold back and take action."
Han Qing sneered and said mockingly
"What are you talking about? You, an old turtle, can take action against our soldiers, why can't I take action? Are you an old fool? Or are you just stupid in this barren land?"
Gu Yan at the rear twitched slightly when he heard Han Qing's scolding. When the two armies were fighting, he started to curse without the slightest trace of a strong man's demeanor. It was a little bit unrestrained and unbecoming of a great country, but he forgot. , there is no lower limit to the vicious strategies he has devised along the way.
Jinghong has lived for hundreds of years. When the Night King sent him here, he knew that he would probably not be able to go back. Therefore, facing the three Guiyuan Realm experts from the Demon Slayer Division, Jinghong had no intention of running away. Instead, he held a long knife and shot it into the air, aiming at the three strong men from the Demon Slayer Division.
After Jinghong took action, the other powerful men from the Night Kingdom in the fifth and sixth realms in the city could not sit still, and used their physical skills to rush towards the Qin army on the wall.
At this time, Ning Wu in the distance cupped his fists at Gu Yan and said
"Master Gu, now it's time for the Demon Slayer Division to take action."
Gu Yan nodded, took out the demon-slaying knife from his waist, and led hundreds of demon-slaying division experts to turn into streams of light and rush towards the city wall.
The silver moon rises in the sky, cutting across the sky and the earth! The sword was drawn and slashed, unleashing a power that destroyed the heaven and earth.
A strong man from the Night Kingdom who had just entered the Fifth Realm was slashing at the Qin army in front of him with a fierce smile.
Suddenly a silver moon flashed across
Pfft!
The city wall under his feet was cut open directly with a knife, along with this strong man from the Night Kingdom.
Gu Yan instantly beheaded an enemy five-level warrior, which dealt a huge blow to Ye Kingdom's morale.
For a time, there were swords crisscrossing the city wall, sword lights flashing, and palm shadows flying.
The city wall of Zhonglu Mansion collapsed due to the fighting of these strong men.
As time went by, more and more powerful men of the Night Kingdom were killed by the Demon Slayer Division, and the remaining tens of thousands of Night Army were gradually forced by the Qin Army to the southwest square of Fucheng on the Middle Road.
After forcing the Night Army together, the Qin Army suddenly retreated in an organized manner. Just when the Night Army thought it could take a breather, the Qin Army suddenly retreated in an organized manner.
Bang!Bang!Bang!
A series of intensive gunfire sounded
The powerful cannon began to fire wildly at the square, but within a short time, the remaining night army was blasted into blood foam all over the ground. There were deep black pits everywhere in the square, and there was not a single intact corpse.
......
Inside the Night Capital Palace
The Night King looked at the battle report in front of him with a pale face, raised his head and looked at the civil and military officials, and said in a hoarse voice.
"Jinghong died in battle, and the 200,000 troops from the Zhonglu Mansion and the 200,000 troops rushing to the rescue were all killed. What do you have to say?"
All the civil and military officials in the palace bowed their heads and remained silent like dumb people. Whoever speaks at this time will 100% be sent by the Night King to the north to resist the Qin army.
At this time, a clear and beautiful voice came from outside the palace. It was Ye Shu, the eldest princess of the Night Kingdom.
"Father, my daughter thinks that now we can only shrink our troops, gather all my strength outside Yedu, and rely on the extremely tough city wall to fight the Qin army to the death."
The Night King looked at the eldest princess walking into the palace and said
"Shu'er, if you shrink all your troops outside Yedu, if we are defeated, won't I, Daye, be destroyed?"
Yeshu bowed to the Night King and then continued.
"Father, the fate of the Ye Kingdom has actually been determined a long time ago. With Qin being such a giant, it will be a matter of time before the Ye Kingdom is annexed.
The contemporary Emperor of Qin is extremely ambitious and aggressive. Sooner or later he will launch an attack on me in Daye. Now our Kingdom of Ye can only withstand the Qin army's offensive by twisting all its forces together."
The Night King sighed, how could he not know that Qin would be annexed sooner or later? Otherwise, they would not secretly instigate many Qin forces and purchase refined iron ore from them to increase the combat power of the Night Army.
"Shu'er, even if we can withstand the Qin army for the time being, what will happen in the future? If the Qin army surrounds Yedu for three to five years, we will still be trapped to death."
Yeshu shook her head and said loudly
"Father, to put it harshly, our Da Ye is nothing more than a scabies problem to the Qin State. The real enemies of the Qin State are demons and evil spirits. They will not waste too much time in our Da Ye territory."
Having said this, Night King's eyes began to slowly brighten, he sat up straight and stared at Yeshu and said
"Shu'er, please continue talking."
Yeshu nodded and continued.
"Father, it's not that there is no way to defeat this Qin army. It just depends on whether father is willing to spend money."
"As long as I can force the Qin army back, I will pay no matter the price."
Seeing the Night King nodding in agreement, a strange light flashed in Ye Shu's eyes and she spoke word by word.
"Lian, hand, demon, evil"
