"Lian Xian, what's wrong? The city gate is about to be broken. Why do you look so distressed? "The Old Ancestor of the Su family was puzzled.
"It's too easy. Something's not right. It's too easy." So Lien-hsien shook his head.
"What's easy?" The Old Ancestor of the Su family was puzzled. The other Xiantian masters also looked at So Lien-hsien.
"It's too easy to attack the city. It's about to be broken? This doesn't seem like Zhong Shan's style. He can't be so bad. "So Lien-hsien shook his head as if he was very distressed.
"Easy? In order to attack the city, fifty thousand people died. How can it be easy? "A Xiantian master beside him said in disbelief.
"Zhong Shan can't be so bad. More people should die. At least eighty thousand should die. Only fifty thousand died now. No, no, no." So Lien-hsien shook his head with a nervous expression.
Hearing So Lien-hsien say eighty thousand, everyone was stunned. How could it be? Fifty thousand casualties were already an excessive price. How could it be easy in So Lien-hsien's words?
"Lian Xian, maybe you're thinking too much. Zhong Shan is not so terrible." The Old Ancestor of the Su family immediately said.
"No, no, don't underestimate Zhong Shan. You absolutely can't underestimate Zhong Shan." So Lien-hsien immediately emphasized.
"Then let's wait and see. The city gate is about to be broken anyway. As long as we break the gate and kill Zhong Shan, it's enough." The Old Ancestor of the Su family comforted.
"I hope so." So Lien-hsien nodded. But his brows didn't loosen.
On the city wall, most of the ladders had been destroyed by the fire. Only a few ladders were still struggling in the scorch. More than half of the big arrows were loaded again. Once all the big arrows were loaded, the third wave would be able to break the city gate.
Zhong Shan stood on top of the city gate tower and took a deep breath. His eyes lit up as he said, "Inglan, plan II."
"Yes," Inglan immediately replied. She took out a purple flag and quickly waved it.
Following that, a large number of soldiers on the city walls quickly retreated from the city tower, no longer defending.
Zhong Shan patted the railing of the city gate tower lightly, then turned around and led Ying Lan down the city gate tower, retreating with the other city guards.
Zhong Shan retreated? Zhong Shan retreated?
So Lien-hsien, who was sitting on a large horse on the opposite bank, frowned as he watched this scene. Zhong Shan felt that he was about to lose? But why did they have to withdraw the guards around the city walls? Why did they withdraw?
"Haha, Zhong Shan knew that he was about to lose, so he fled?" A Xiantian expert shouted excitedly.
As for the remaining ladders, some people slowly climbed up the city walls. When they reached the top, they raised their blades and prepared to sacrifice their lives for their country. But they realized that there was no one on the city walls.
"Boom ~ ~ ~ ~ ~"
The third wave of big arrows were shot from the Eight Ox Crossbows towards the city gate. Following a loud sound, the city gate finally couldn't withstand the huge force and was completely blown away.
The city was breached?
This was supposed to be a moment of celebration, but no one dared to open their mouths.
An army of 250 thousand had breached a city, but more than 50 thousand had died. Nearly 60 thousand had died. What kind of price was this? On the other hand, the enemy had less than a thousand casualties, and at most a hundred had died. This was the first time in many years of war that they had fought in such a cowardly manner.
The army crazily rushed towards the city.
But even such a cowardly battle, in So Lien-hsien's eyes, was too easy, too unbelievable, too easy. Something was wrong.
"Marshal, the Xuan City Guards have retreated to the other side of the inner city river. They even destroyed the bridge behind the inner city." A soldier quickly ran over and reported.
"Not good, Zhong Shan wants to escape from the other city gates." So Lien-hsien was shocked.
He quickly got off his horse and rushed towards the other side of the river. Obviously, the other side of the river had already been occupied by their own people. There wouldn't be any more arrows from the Xuan City Guards, so they could safely cross.
The other Xiantian experts also quickly got off their horses and followed So Lien-hsien on the wooden raft.
After crossing the river, So Lien-hsien suddenly said, "Dismantle half of the wooden rafts and use them to fill up the river."
"Yes!" The soldiers who followed him immediately nodded and shouted.
So Lien-hsien brought nine Xiantian experts and quickly rushed towards the city gate that was filled with corpses. They broke through the broken gate and rushed towards the inner city.
The army also quickly dismantled the wooden rafts and prepared to rush in. But just as the soldiers were dismantling the wooden rafts, they discovered a strange phenomenon. Why did the originally muddy moat suddenly turn black? Moreover, it seemed to be getting darker and darker.
So Lien-hsien rushed into the inner city. When he reached the inner city, the army was blocked by the river. They couldn't cross.
"Swim over!" So Lien-hsien shouted.
At this moment, Zhong Shan's figure suddenly appeared on the other side of the river not far away.
Zhong Shan was calm and composed. Behind him were Zhong Tian, Zhong Cheng and Inglan. The army also slowly appeared from the nearby houses and looked towards the Xiantian experts on the other side of the river.
"Zhong Shan." So Lien-hsien shouted.
"I have been waiting for you all for a long time." Zhong Shan suddenly said coldly.
After saying this, he took out a fire starter and threw it towards the river in front of him while the people on the other side couldn't understand.
"Bang ~ ~ ~ ~"
Under the situation where everyone couldn't understand, the river started to burn and a monstrous fire soared into the sky.
The raging fire instantly extinguished the flames of war in the hearts of many soldiers.
Previously, under So Lien-hsien's shout, a few of them swam across the river. However, when the fire started, they all screamed.
"Ah ~ ~ ~ ~"
… … …
The screams seemed to be shouting in the hearts of the soldiers.
"Not good, retreat." So Lien-hsien said anxiously.
However, the moment they turned around, they were shocked to find that the moat outside the city was also on fire.
The first sixty thousand soldiers that rushed in were trapped just like that.
Everyone was terrified. What should they do?
So Lien-hsien smiled bitterly. Zhong Shan, Zhong Shan! Lost again, lost again!
"Soldiers, listen up. These ten people are the main culprits in attacking Xuancheng. As long as they die, I can let bygones be bygones. The Su family is in charge of Daegun Province and has caused a rebellion. They are no longer fit to be in charge of Daegun Province. Whoever kills these ten will be rewarded ten thousand gold." Zhong Shan said solemnly.
His shout was like a shot of adrenaline to the hearts of the soldiers. Some of the more evil soldiers started to look at So Lien-hsien and the others.
"Hahaha, Zhong Shan, you want to mess with the morale of my soldiers? As long as the Su family's emperor is still in power, you can forget about commanding the army of Daegun Province. "So Lien-hsien shouted from the other side of the river.
"Is that so?" Zhong Shan laughed coldly.
Just at this moment, outside the city gates, outside the moat, there were cries of agony. The cries of agony attracted everyone's attention.
Everyone turned to look and saw a eunuch, Wei Taizhong, sitting on a horse in the distance, holding a head in his hand.
A head? It was the emperor of Daegun Province, Su Zhengde.
"De-er!" So Lien-hsien roared with bloodshot eyes.
"Archers, get ready." So Lien-hsien was not far away from a general's shout.
A large number of archers raised their bows and pointed at the ten Xiantian experts.
The situation on the other side of the river became tense. Some went to protect So Lien-hsien and the others, while others began to follow the general and prepare to rebel. Even the emperor is dead. Are we going to be buried with him?
Zhong Shan looked at the general who gave the order with satisfaction. He knew that the general was one of his own, and it couldn't be better for him to take the lead.
"Ancestor, there must be a large number of archers on the other side of the moat. We've lost, and now we can only kill Zhong Shan. As long as Zhong Shan dies, we can reverse the situation. Now it's the last moment. We're counting on you." So Lien-hsien roared.
"Okay." The Su family's ancestor also felt the tragedy at this moment. He agreed without hesitation.
Bloodline, the only bloodline of the Su family left was So Lien-hsien.
"Release the arrows!" The general suddenly shouted.
With a command, a large number of arrows rained down on the Xiantian masters. Since they had already shed all pretense of cordiality, the soldiers no longer held back. Of course, there were also more soldiers standing in front of the rain of arrows to protect these important people.
But how long could they protect them?
On the river, the fire was burning fiercely, but the Xiantian experts were not afraid. They just didn't want to take the lead. Now, they had no choice but to take the lead.
The ten Xiantian experts jumped to the other side of the river. Halfway through, they landed in the river and stepped on the burning surface of the lake to reach the other side. Although there were some oil stains under their feet that caused the fire, as long as they released their genuine Qi, the fire would be completely extinguished.
However, Zhong Shan had been waiting for this moment for a long time.
The ten Xiantian experts had been waiting for this moment for a long time.
"Release the arrows." Inglan suddenly ordered.
"Whoosh ~ ~ ~ ~"
A large number of arrows seemed to have been waiting for this moment. They rapidly shot towards the people who were stepping on the fire.
However, maybe because the fire was too big, the arrows couldn't shoot very accurately.
Because of this inaccurate arrow rain, five Xiantian experts from the four families were shot and fell into the fire lake.
A large amount of kerosene burned. Even the Xiantian experts let out tragic cries.
"Ah ~ ~ ~ ~ ~"
Under the high temperature, these early Xiantian experts had no power to resist. They died horribly.
Tragic, too tragic.
The five Xiantian experts who had crossed the river rushed towards Zhong Shan.
However, the second round of arrow rain arrived. Moreover, it was mixed with the Eight Oxen Crossbows. Powerful arrows rapidly shot towards them.
The large arrows directly shot towards the Old Ancestor of the Su family. However, the Old Ancestor of the Su family seemed to be more powerful than the Old Ancestors of the four families. Dozens of large arrows only pierced through his left shoulder. As for the remaining four Xiantian experts, three of them were shot dead by the second round of arrow rain. Among them was So Lien-hsien, who had been coordinating the attack all this time.
So Lien-hsien didn't expect that he would die in such a cowardly manner. At first, he was most worried and careful about the arrows, but in the end, he was still the target.
His whole body was hit by fifteen arrows, and he was completely dead.
