Third Watch! Thank you, Guild Master [Destined for Three Lives] for more updates!)
Ye Xing naturally wouldn't just stand there like a fool when the Dong Fu Kingdom's army was about to launch an attack. Carrying the head of Young Master Jin Shan, he sped towards Dong Shan City.
Young Master Jin Shan's position was not ordinary. If he took back the Eastern City Mountain, he might be able to shock the soldiers of the East Fu Nation. He had to keep him.
Although the four Commanders were half-step Martial Sages and were much faster than Ye Xing, by the time they rushed over from five li away, Ye Xing was already within two li of Eastern Mountain City.
The four half-step Martial Sages stopped when they were one kilometer away from Eastern Mountain City. There were large ballistae in Eastern Mountain City. If they continued forward, they would end up as live targets.
Unless there was a large army at the border and other soldiers covering for them, they wouldn't dare to get too close to Eastern Mountain City.
Ye Xing returned to Dongshan City without any hindrance.
Ka —
The city gates were immediately closed. The city walls of Dongshan City were a hundred meters high. Even a ninth-grade grandmaster would find it difficult to rush up with Qinggong.
"Young master Ye!"
"Good job, Young Master Ye!"
…
As soon as Ye Xing returned to the city, he was warmly welcomed by the soldiers in the city. Everyone who saw him took the initiative to greet him.
Today, Ye Xing had killed five experts from the Dong Fu Country. One was a seventh-layer Grandmaster, and four were eighth-layer Grandmasters. Among them was Young Master Jin Shan, a genius of the Dong Fu Country's royal family. It could be said that the people of the Fallen Star Kingdom had vented their anger.
In Dong Shan City, which Fallen Star Citizen was not happy? No matter how much Wang Haiqing hated Ye Xing, he was in a good mood because of the Dongfu Nation's loss in the Kingdom War.
After today's battle, Ye Xing could be considered famous in Eastern Mountain City. There was no one who didn't respect him.
Ye Xing had killed five people in a row and had consumed a lot of his inner strength, especially killing Young Master Jin Shan. Those few arrows had not only consumed his inner strength, but also his essence, energy, and spirit. Now that he had used his qinggong to rush back to Eastern Mountain City, he was not far from collapsing from his inner strength.
After handing over the head of Young Master Jinshan to the guards of Dongshan City, Ye Xing returned to his residence, swallowed a Star Accumulating Pill, and began to meditate to quickly restore his internal strength.
Even if a great battle was about to break out, Ye Xing had to recover his inner strength first. Only then would he have the strength to kill the enemy. Otherwise, it would be useless even if he rushed forward with a weak body.
Ye Xing had killed five experts in a row. Everyone in Dongshan City knew that he had expended a lot of energy, so naturally, no one disturbed him.
While Ye Xing was meditating, the Dongfu Nation's two hundred thousand strong army had already surrounded Dongshan City.
Dongxuan, Liuchuan, West Wind, and Zichuan, under the lead of their commanders, surrounded the east, south, west, and north of Dongshan City respectively. Then, the bugle horn sounded and the drums thundered as they launched their attack.
Tens of thousands of soldiers were densely packed, stretching for miles as far as the eye could see. They were like a black cloud pressing down.
At the very front were the shieldbearers. They held huge shields and walked side by side. Behind each group of shieldbearers was a row of archers. They were approaching Eastern Mountain City.
Whoosh!
When the army of the Dong Fu Kingdom was within four miles of Dong Shan City, the large crossbows on the city walls were fired. The huge crossbow bolts were thirty feet long and looked like huge spears. In an instant, they shot out a few miles.
The shields were unable to block the crossbow bolts at all and were instantly shattered into pieces. The powerful penetrating force pierced through ten soldiers in a row before it was exhausted.
Sou sou sou sou sou —
On each side of the city walls, there were dozens of large crossbows, and every time they were fired, hundreds of Dong Fu Army soldiers would lose their lives.
However, compared to the tens of thousands of soldiers, these casualties were nothing.
The lowest cultivation among the soldiers was a Level 4 Martial Artist. Every one of them moved at lightning speed. After only six waves of crossbows, the Dong Fu Kingdom's army lost nearly a thousand men. They were now within 500 steps of Dong Shan City.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh …
At this point, the archers from both sides began to shoot. The archers from the Dong Fu Kingdom hid behind the shieldbearers and were protected by the shieldbearers. Most of the arrows shot from the Dong Shan City were blocked by the shields.
Only the openings in the formation where the large crossbows had broken through had suffered heavy casualties due to the loss of their shields.
In the East Mountain City, the people of the Fallen Star Kingdom would either rely on the city walls for defense or hide behind bunkers. Hence, very few of them were directly hit by the arrows.
However, the arrows shot by the Dong Fu soldiers were all burning fire arrows. Even though most of the buildings in the city were fireproof, there were still some places that were not protected and were set ablaze.
Smoke rose from all directions. The battle had been quite intense since the beginning.
When the Dong Fu Kingdom's army was a hundred meters away from the city walls, there were suddenly flying claws that shot out, grabbing the top of the city walls.
The city walls were a hundred meters high and the flying claws were about seventy meters high. Below them, there were ropes. The soldiers only needed to use Qing Gong to walk to the end of the ropes and they would be less than ten feet away from the city walls. They could then jump up.
Once the flying claws were grabbed, a large number of soldiers flew up. The shieldbearers were still at the front as they rushed up the city walls.
At this time, the shields could only block the front and could not block the arrows from the left and right. The casualties of the Dong Fu Kingdom's soldiers began to increase.
Defending a city naturally had its own advantages. Attacking a city naturally had to pay a higher price.
At this moment, the battle situation in all four directions of the Dong Shan City was very intense.
"Kill — —!"
Countless people shouted and the sound of killing shook the sky. Below the city walls, there were piles of corpses and rivers of blood.
One by one, the soldiers of the Dong Fu Kingdom rushed up the ropes. However, they were shot by the arrows and fell down, either dead or injured.
However, when the number of soldiers increased, there would always be people who broke through the arrows and rushed up the city walls.
This was especially true for generals such as centurions, chiliarchs, and captains. They were at least at the level of martial dao masters and were very powerful. Ordinary archers were not as powerful as them. They were almost unstoppable, and very few of them were killed by arrows.
When the Dong Fu Kingdom's soldiers rushed up the city walls, the two sides began to fight. The most intense and cruel battle had truly begun.
In such a battle, the lives of soldiers were like ants. Regardless of the enemy's side, there were people constantly falling down.
Even the generals of both sides had casualties. The four walls were all dyed red with blood.
When Ye Xing's spirit and inner strength had fully recovered, it was already more than two hours later. The battle had reached its climax.
The four walls had already been attacked by the Dong Fu Kingdom's army. Behind them, more and more Dong Fu Kingdom's soldiers were climbing up the ropes. The situation was very grim.
If not for the morale of the Luo Xing Kingdom's soldiers and their bravery, the Dong Fu Kingdom's soldiers would have already broken through one of the walls.
Although the morale of the Luo Xing Kingdom's soldiers was high, the morale of the Dong Fu Kingdom's soldiers was not very low. When the real battle began, the morale of the Dong Fu Kingdom's soldiers had recovered a lot. Hence, the Dong Fu Kingdom's soldiers were having a hard time defending.
Ye Xing came out of his room and jumped onto the roof. He looked into the distance and scanned the four walls.
He found that the West and North sides were still fine. Currently, the Luo Xing Kingdom still had the upper hand. However, the East and South sides were very grim.
Especially the South side, where the temporarily recruited mercenaries and Zishan Academy's teachers and students were defending. They only had about ten thousand people. Other than that, the Dong Shan City's army had only sent twenty thousand people to help. There were only thirty thousand people in total.
The Liuchuan Army that attacked the South City had fifty thousand soldiers. Moreover, the Army Commander, Liuchuan Ji, had taken the lead and killed many Luo Xing Kingdom's soldiers. In the end, Vice Principal Wu Yunshan had to intervene to stop him.
Vice Principal Wang Haiqing blocked the Vice Commander of the Liuchuan Corps. Although he blocked the two Half-Step Martial Sages, the other side had a large number of Martial Path Lv 7, Lv 8, and Lv 9 experts. They outnumbered the Luo Xing Kingdom and naturally had the upper hand.
Ye Xing took a look and saw many corpses of the Zishan Academy's students. They were all wearing the Academy's uniform and could be easily distinguished.
As a student of the Zishan Academy, Ye Xing's heart burned with anger when he saw the corpses of his classmates. He immediately took the Dragon Tendon Bow and rushed towards the South City.
Although the East City's situation was not good, it was still better than the South City. If the South City was lost, the Liuchuan Army would enter the city and attack with the other armies. It would be easy to break through one side.
Once one side was lost, it would be difficult to defend the city. Hence, the Liuchuan Army must not be allowed to take down the South City.
"Kill! Slaughter the East Mountain City! Slaughter the Luo Xing Pigs! "
In the South City, a chiliarch of the Liuchuan Army was holding a long spear in his hand. He was stabbing a mercenary of the Seventh Martial Path to death as he shouted excitedly.
Around him, there were corpses all over the ground. They were all from the Luo Xing Kingdom.
His eyes were bloodshot. He swept his long spear and was about to kill the soldiers of the Luo Xing Kingdom in front of him. At this moment, an arrow burst out from afar.
Whoosh!
The arrow spun in the air and its trajectory was distorted. Although the Martial Dao master blocked the arrow with his spear, his defense missed.
The arrow instantly pierced the throat of the Eighth Martial Dao master, killing him instantly.
Ye Xing's figure quickly appeared in the distance. He floated on the roof and quickly nocked an arrow and drew his bow.
Whoosh!
The arrow pierced through the air. In the distance, another general of the East Fu Kingdom was shot in the throat. It was a centurion of the Seventh Martial Path. Under Ye Xing's arrow, he could not resist at all.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh …
Ye Xing had been walking on the roof. His eyes swept across the distance. The ordinary soldiers of the East Fu Kingdom were all ignored by Ye Xing. He searched for the generals of the Centurions and Chiliarchs. He killed one when he saw one.
Whether it was on the Luo Xing Kingdom's side or the East Fu Kingdom's side, there was no other archer with superb archery skills like Ye Xing. The Eighth Martial Dao master could not resist his arrows.
As the centurions and Chiliarchs of the Liuchuan Army were killed one by one by Ye Xing, the situation in the South City began to improve.
In a martial artist army, the strength of the generals was very strong. Compared to ordinary soldiers, a Martial Dao master was a centurion and could fight a hundred men. A Martial Dao master was a chiliarch and could fight a thousand men.
Ye Xing killed a centurion, which was equivalent to killing a hundred ordinary soldiers. Killing a chiliarch was equivalent to killing a thousand ordinary soldiers.
In fifteen minutes, Ye Xing had killed twenty-one centurions and five chiliarchs. Naturally, the strength of the Liuchuan Army was greatly reduced.
