The next morning, everyone set off after breakfast and stopped a few kilometers away from the north gate of Wu City. There were already many people watching from the top of the city wall.
"Your Majesty, please give the order. I will break into Wu City and take down these rebels." Xi Wanya asked for permission to fight in front of the empress.
Ren Baqian glanced at him and then at the top of the city wall. No matter how he looked at it, his side was at a disadvantage!
After the battle with the empress, there were only 11 people left. Qingyun Sword, who was the strongest among them, had lost a lot of energy after yesterday's battle. Chang Tian had poured all his energy into his spear and died after using it. Now, there were only nine and a half people who could fight.
Lin Qiaole and the other two Spirit Wheel experts could each hold off three people, so it wasn't a big problem.
If the empress were to personally fight, even if she only had 30 percent of her strength left, she could still suppress the other party in terms of high-level combat power.
However, even if more than 2,000 soldiers were at the advanced Man Wheel level, the other party had more than 500 Earth Wheel experts, which meant that they could fight against five of them.
Not to mention the others.
"I will watch you seize the city from here," the empress said faintly.
Seeing that the two had decided to attack the city, Ren Baqian didn't say anything else and observed carefully.
Following Xi Wanya's order, more than 2,000 soldiers got off their mounts and rushed toward Wu City.
When they arrived at the bottom of Wu City, the people at the front stopped about three meters below the wall, turned around, and used their hands to build a ladder above their heads. The people at the back soared into the air, stepped on their palms, and leaped seven or eight meters high. They either directly climbed over the wall or stepped on the wall for support.
They climbed over the eight-meter-tall wall.
After all, Wu City wasn't a big city, and the wall was only about eight meters high. It was enough to stop ordinary people, but to stop Man Wheel experts, it was useless.
The aboriginals didn't need any equipment to attack a city, and they could easily climb over a wall that was eight meters high.
If the wall was too high, they could rely on the experts to break the gate with brute force.
In the past, when they attacked the wall, there would be a massacre.
However, at this time, there was a group of Earth Wheel experts on the wall.
When the first batch of people climbed over the wall, more than half of them were chopped down and fell from the top of the wall.
Following closely behind the first batch of soldiers, the second batch of soldiers jumped onto the city wall like a group of grasshoppers. Relying on their vigor and bravery, they forcefully occupied a small portion of the city wall despite being surrounded by many Earth Wheel experts.
As groups of soldiers jumped onto the wall, roars and shouts of killing rang out from the top of the wall, and blood spilled down from the top of the wall.
Ren Baqian carefully observed the situation on the city wall and found that it was slightly better than what he had expected.
Although these aboriginal warriors were Four-way Heaven experts and were equivalent to Man Wheel experts, they were much stronger than Man Wheel experts. In addition, the walls were narrow, and the teleportation range wasn't large. In this aspect, the aboriginals had an advantage when using military combat techniques.
Many of the Earth Wheel experts on the city wall were at the initial stage of the Earth Wheel level. Some of them weren't good at strength but were good at speed. In such a small area, they were at a disadvantage when facing four to five elite soldiers who had good teamwork.
In particular, many of the aboriginal warriors were slashing at each other. They didn't dodge and would retaliate with a slash of their own, trading injury for injury and life for life. This kind of bravery was something that those Earth Wheel experts who lived like princes didn't possess. This kind of desperation was something that they couldn't accept.
If they were asked to fight with the empress, they naturally wouldn't cherish their lives. However, if they were asked to exchange their lives with these ordinary soldiers, everyone would hesitate. In this bloody battlefield, both sides were entangled with each other and were fighting for their lives at this moment.
Of course, this was only part of the situation on the battlefield. In many places, four to five elite soldiers who had good teamwork could only barely resist an Earth Wheel expert. From time to time, someone would be knocked down from the city wall.
No matter how brave they were and how good their teamwork was, they were only at the Man Wheel level. The disparity in strength between them and an Earth Wheel expert was too great, and they were completely relying on fighting with their lives.
The aboriginals occupied about a quarter of the lower part of the city wall. In this part of the city wall, they repeatedly fought with their opponents and actually managed to gain a firm foothold for a while.
At the bottom of the city wall, the aboriginals were divided into three groups. Lin Qiaole and two other Spirit Wheel experts were fighting one against three, which was the opposite of the situation on the city wall.
Only Xi Wanya stood upright in the distance and watched the killing on the city wall without saying a word.
"Your Majesty, what do you think?" After watching for a long time, Ren Baqian turned his head to look at the empress, only to see her frown slightly and remain silent.
Both sides fought for a while and only withdrew in the evening. Only half of the soldiers retreated.
A full 1,000 people had spilled their blood on the small city wall.
The aboriginals suffered a lot as well. More than half of the 1,000 disciples from various sects were injured or killed, and nearly half of the Earth Wheel experts were injured or killed. However, most of the casualties were from the weaker Earth Wheel experts. On the contrary, the strong Earth Wheel experts were mostly unharmed.
It could be said that both sides had suffered heavy losses.
Everyone retreated to the foot of Mount Wu. Ren Baqian said to the empress, "Your Majesty, although the aboriginals are good at fighting one-on-one, the aboriginals are practitioners who are better at fighting one-on-one. Even though we can restrict their movements on the city wall, we are restricting both sides to a certain range and fighting them head-on. This is very disadvantageous for us."
"Do you have a good idea?" The empress looked up at him and hoped that he would say, "Yes, I have a plan."
"Your Majesty, I have an idea," Ren Baqian said.
"Speak!" The empress was in a much better mood after hearing what he said.
"Throw a few hundred smoke bombs into the city to force them to come out. If we use military formations to confront them, I think they are no match for us, "Ren Baqian said.
Dozens of smoke bombs were still too few for a city like Wu City. However, if he could get a few hundred of them, it would be enough to spread the fragrance for five kilometers around Wu City. It would be refreshing, enjoyable, and memorable.
The empress clenched her fists and felt a little itchy.
Even though this was a plan, she really didn't want to use it. The smell really made her feel guilty. If a few hundred smoke bombs were thrown into Wu City, it would be very cruel. Not to mention that they couldn't stay in Wu City, they couldn't stay outside the city either.
At that time, a group of experts with a suffocating stench would charge over. That scene would be too beautiful. The smell could be directly emitted from the scene, and she didn't dare to think about it.
The empress called Xi Wanya over and asked, "Is it possible to attack this city?"
Xi Wanya nodded and replied, "I will definitely attack this city and present the heads of these rebels to Your Majesty."
Ren Baqian looked at Xi Wanya. From today's situation, Xi Wanya could at most perish together with the other party. In fact, the remaining forces of the other party would become stronger as time passed. Where did he get the confidence to attack the city?
"Your Majesty, the winged cavalry is rushing toward Tianjing Basin after resting," Xi Wanya said without Ren Baqian asking.
Ren Baqian then remembered that the winged cavalry had already returned to Dayao before he set off for Tianjing Basin.
The winged cavalry were the empress's personal guards, and they would be wherever the empress was. Now that the empress was in the south, the winged cavalry would naturally follow.
"How long will it take?" The empress didn't say anything else after hearing that the most elite winged cavalry was rushing over.
"When I set off, the winged cavalry left Gu City six days ago. I estimate that they will definitely arrive in three days at most," Xi Wanya said.
