"How's the situation?" Sei Itō asked Du Fuwei, Ren Meimei, and Li Jing, who were sitting in the main seat of the tent.
"They've been pacified," Ren Meimei replied.
"Since they've awakened the army, let's launch a night attack," Sei Itō said with narrowed eyes.
"Sir, we're not ready for a night attack. Isn't this a little too hasty?" Li Jing said hesitantly after exchanging glances with Ren Meimei and Du Fuwei.
"If we start preparing now, how long will it take?" Sei Itō raised his eyebrows and asked.
"At least two hours," Li Jing said after thinking for a while.
"Alright, I'll give you two hours. After two hours, we'll officially launch a night attack on Zhongli!" Sei Itō immediately decided.
"Yes." Seeing Sei Itō's resolute attitude, Li Jing, Ren Meimei, and Du Fuwei knew that they could only act according to orders. They then got up and left one after another to arrange for the soldiers to prepare for the night attack.
Two hours was neither long nor short. However, with the entire army's tense preparations, it quickly passed by peacefully …
"Sir, the preparations are ready." Li Jing walked into the tent with a tired expression and cupped his fists at Sei Itō who was sitting in the main seat.
"Alright, let's move out," Sei Itō stood up and announced.
"Yes!" Li Jing, Du Fuwei, Ren Meimei, Tsuqi Meimei, and Yuan Yuan replied in unison.
That's right. Not only were Li Jing, Du Fuwei, and Ren Meimei present in the tent, but Sei Itō's newly summoned archer, Tsuqi Meimei, and Yuan Yuan were also present!
Among them. Tsuqi Meimei would be the sniper responsible for killing the generals on the city wall. She would also lead the army's archers to launch a volley of arrows at appropriate times. As for Yuan Yuan, she was from the White Feather Six Families. The Yuan Family was in charge of commanding the army, and because of their strength, they would be the main attackers and commanders in this battle.
"When I have time, I'll create an army for Roly Poly and Hui Meili to lead. As for the daily training … I'll just call it Xiao Yao. After all, the staff and spear are interconnected. I think Xiao Yao, who has already reached the level of Miracle Hand, shouldn't have any problems." Looking at Roly Poly and Hui Meili, Sei Itō thought to himself.
Then, he threw these thoughts aside for the time being. He led everyone out of the tent.
"Wait a moment. I'll use a large-scale illusion spell to deceive the soldiers on the walls. You guys should take this opportunity to set up everything and get ready to enter the city!" Sei Itō said as he walked to the front of the soldiers.
"Sir, what effect can your illusions achieve?" Li Jing asked.
"As long as there are no accidents, ordinary soldiers and generals won't be able to detect it. However, for Yuwen Huaji, who is a first-class expert, it won't have much of an effect. I reckon that after a long time, he will be discovered by his Spiritual Sense," Sei Itō explained.
"How long is this period of time?" Li Jing asked. Obviously. At this time, he was calculating how to make the most of Sei Itō's illusions to gain enough advantages.
"It's hard to say. It could be a breath, or it could be a moment. It depends on Yuwen Huaji's mental state," Sei Itō shrugged.
"However, you can make the most of it. For now, I don't sense the presence of Yuwen Clan's Mysterious Ice Energy on the walls, "Sei Itō said as he looked up at the walls of Zhongli City, which was 200 steps away.
200 steps. If one step was 80 centimeters, it would be about 160 meters. Although the distance was very short, this godly archer could only shoot 120 to 130 steps with a three stone bow. Even if it was shooting from a high position, it would be safe enough.
"Alright. You guys get ready. I'm going to start, "Sei Itō reminded them as he slowly mobilized his mental power.
"Yes." Li Jing and the others received the order. Then, according to the arrangements they had discussed before, they returned to their respective teams.
After Li Jing and the others left, Sei Itō's mental power immediately burst out without any reservation. The instant it burst out, it produced an invisible power that caused the air in front of him to tremble violently. Then, Sei Itō's mind turned, and the powerful mental power began to transform into an illusions domain according to his will. It enveloped the entire Zhongli City and the guards on the side of the army.
"It's done." Sei Itō connected with Li Jing, Du Fuwei, Ren Meimei, Yuanyuan, and Meili with his mind and said.
In the next moment, the allied army in the camp silently moved. A large number of soldiers carrying ladders on their shoulders and pushing siege trucks rushed out of the camp. They silently ran toward the walls of Zhongli City, which was 200 meters away, and began to arrange the siege equipment. At the same time, a group of about 200 light cavalrymen rushed out of the camp and slowly moved to the city gate.
Although this group of cavalrymen was small with only 200, it was basically half of the Jianghuai Army's cavalrymen. However, this was something that couldn't be helped. Who asked the south to not produce horses?
Then, after the cavalrymen and siege troops, groups of soldiers with solemn expressions walked out of the camp. They were divided into three groups: left, middle, and right. They arrived at the city gate on the left and right, and were prepared to attack when everything was ready.
This strange and silent behavior lasted for more than ten minutes before it was declared to be over.
"Fire!" At this moment, a soft shout sounded. A large number of arrows immediately flew out from the camp and the siege trucks, flying toward the unresponsive soldiers on Zhongli City's walls.
"Ahhhhhhh ~" In the next moment, a series of miserable screams echoed in the silent night sky. As the target of these arrows, the soldiers of Zhongli City were instantly killed by this inexplicable rain of arrows.
"Attack!" A tiger's roar sounded again.
Following which, the group of Jianghuai Army and Peng Liang Guild soldiers who had climbed all the ladders and were only a step away from the city gate immediately jumped over the city gate. They appeared in front of the soldiers of Zhongli City, who were completely confused. They revealed sinister smiles as they brandished their blades and slashed at the soldiers of Zhongli City, sending them back to the embrace of the world.
"Enemy attack!" At this moment, the general of Zhongli City finally reacted and shouted loudly.
That sharp shout immediately woke up the silent Zhongli City, causing the entire city to fall into chaos.
However, before he could finish his words, an arrow immediately pierced through the air and accurately pierced his throat. There was no need to guess. The only person who could shoot this kind of divine arrow in the middle of the night was none other than Meili Tsuki!
Seeing that the battle had begun, Sei Itō withdrew his spiritual power and flew to the gate of Zhongli City. He used his telekinesis to form an invisible blade and stabbed it into the gap between the gate from top to bottom. With an explosion, the thick bolts behind the gate immediately exploded into a pile of wood shavings that flew in all directions. The soldiers guarding the gate who had just been awakened by the enemy's attack were knocked to the ground.
After that, Sei Itō used his telekinesis to push open the tightly shut gate of Zhongli City.
"Ta ta ta ta …" There was no need for anyone to give the order. The cavalry that had been waiting for a long time immediately urged their horses and charged into the city.
"Kill!" Behind the cavalry team, the infantry team led by Yuan Yuan, who had been guarding the two sides for a long time, also followed closely into the city. They completely occupied the city gate and supported the main army behind them.
The main army didn't make Yuanyuan wait for long. After five minutes, the Peng Lianghui and the Jianghuai Army flooded into Zhongli City from the top of the city wall and the city gate, attacking and occupying the entire Zhongli City.
Sei Itō naturally didn't like this kind of ordinary siege. Thus, he directly flew to the sky above Zhongli City and looked down at the entire city from above. He searched for the Yuwen Clan members who had the aura of the Mysterious Ice Energy.
Very quickly, Sei Itō discovered the existence of four men with profound Mysterious Ice Energy near the center of Zhongli City. They organized the soldiers to resist while they ordered another group of people to quickly escape from the west gate.
"Tsk tsk, they really value money more than their lives. Even at a time like this, they still want to take the treasures and palace maids from the palace with them. I really don't know what they're thinking." Sei Itō sighed in mid-air.
After sighing, Sei Itō used teleportation to appear behind a Yuwen Clan member who was using a pair of hammers and ruthlessly slapped his body.
"Pu!" In the next second, the expression of the Yuwen man, who was using the sledgehammer to kill the enemy, froze. His face was filled with unwillingness and disbelief. His body immediately exploded into pieces, spurting out a large amount of stinky, bright red blood and organs, which fell to the ground with a pitter-patter.
To Sei Itō, only Yuwen Shang and Yuwen Wudi in the Yuwen Clan were of some value. Next were Yuwen Zhiji and Shiji, the two scholars, who were first-class. The others, Yuwen Wudi, Yuwen Chengdu, and so on, were all useless. Therefore, Sei Itō didn't hold back at all against this guy who used a pair of hammers and had the Mysterious Ice Energy around him. He directly slapped a large amount of compressed energy into his body through his Inner Qi and killed him in one blow.
After that, Sei Itō didn't stay. He directly left where he was and appeared beside the other two Yuwen Clan members who should be Yuwen Huaji, Zhiji, or Shiji. Using a method that was much gentler than Yuwen Wudi, he knocked down Yuwen Huaji and the scholar, sealed them, and casually put them away. Then, he chased after the last Yuwen Clan member who was leading a large army to escape towards the west gate.
With the participation of a bug-level existence like Sei Itō, the army without Yuwen Huaji's leadership was immediately defeated. Not long after, more than half of them were eaten up by the Jianghuai Army and Peng Liang Hui's army that surged into the city. As for the remaining small portion, they could be dealt with after Du Fuwei or Yuan Yuan took down the general who should be Yuchi Jingde.
As expected, not long after, Yuchi Jingde was captured without a fight. Zhongli was completely taken down by the Jianghuai Army and Peng Liang Hui … At the same time, the Yuwen Clan, one of the Four Great Clans, was completely destroyed!
