Chapter 168 Full of loopholes
Although the Xuanwu Army has strong combat power and equipment, they are extremely small in number.

And the army of Yanjing Road used the equipment provided by the Ministry of Industry, which must have been embezzled by some people.

So it won't be any better than the armament of King Jin's men.

Moreover, the city wall is protected by a magic circle, so this battle should not be lost.

Rumble~!

Boom boom~!

A loud horn sounded from below the city wall.

King Jin and the others immediately regained their spirits.

The opponent has begun to attack the city!

A general walked to the edge of the city wall, waved his big hand and shouted.

"Open the array!"

hum!
There was a tremor, and the city wall also trembled.

A green light shrouded the entire city from the edge of the city wall.

King Jin's flustered heart also relaxed.

This magic circle gave him enough sense of security.

The giant crossbow on the city wall has already begun to calibrate, aiming towards the bottom of the city wall.

And below the city wall, the defenders behind the horse barrier also began to prepare gunpowder, bows and arrows, etc.

The siege battle has officially begun!
Wang Chong and Chen Taibao stood beside the tower, watching the soldiers of the Xuanwu Army and Yanjing Road slowly advance.

I saw that the marching soldiers were divided into multiple squads, and the front row held up huge shields to resist the attack on the city wall.

When leading them to the vicinity of the moat, one after another faint blue beams of light lit up.

Some monks who are good at using ice spells began to freeze the moat.

The monks who are good at using earth spells started to build dirt roads, trying to fill up the moat.

Wang Chong glanced at it and couldn't help but let out a loud cry.

"How can they move so fast, the moat is too useless?"

Chen Taibao also exclaimed.

"The speed at which the monks freeze the river is not normal!"

A terrible idea came to his mind.

The depth of this moat may have some problems!
The people who dug the moat also did a lot of tricks!
The moat is not within the effective range of the magic circle, and there are no measures to prevent freezing!
How is such a moat different from a decoration?
The sound of two people yelling attracted King Jin's attention.

"Two generals, what are you talking about? What speed is abnormal?"

The two Wu Xun looked at each other, Wang Chong was thinking about how to get rid of this matter, but Chen Taibao didn't want to care about his status any more.

"His Royal Highness, there is a problem with the depth of the moat. The water volume is not enough at all, and it has no effect!"

"And it's not within the effective range of the magic circle, and Hetu is probably a little abnormal!"

"The opponent's cultivators are freezing the river too fast, I'm afraid it won't cost them much spiritual power!"

"This moat is useless at all!"

King Jin was dumbfounded and was about to ask.

Wang Chong exclaimed again.

"Why haven't those dug trenches been reinforced with spells?"

"Just let the other party push it over?"

"They're almost under the city walls!"

Those who heard this had no trace of blood on their faces, they were extremely pale.

At this time, if King Jin still doesn't understand the seriousness of the matter, then he is really an idiot.

He stared at the two Wu Xun with cold eyes.

"Two generals, please stop circling around!"

"Please answer the king's question seriously!"

"What the hell happened?"

Gollum.

Chen Taibao swallowed his saliva forcefully, and glanced at the city wall again.

The empress' army has arrived at the foot of the city!
The attacking side and the defending side have officially handed over their hands.

The soldiers on the city wall began to shoot down their bows and arrows, pour down hot asphalt, and drop huge logs.

The time has come for hand-to-hand combat.

But it was less than an hour before the war started.

Those moats, those huge ditches, and those traps, none of them came in handy.

The opponent's speed was unbelievably fast.

"What exactly happened here?"

King Jin's anxious voice came again.

Wang Chong turned his head, with a bit of bitterness in the corner of his mouth.

"His Royal Highness, there is a very serious problem with the border defense measures!"

"Those moats are dug too shallow, they are useless at all!"

"Because there is not enough water, those monks consumed very little spiritual power when they froze the moat."

"And the moat should have a corresponding defensive circle."

"But we didn't see any magic circle, and the magic spell was activated."

Every time Wang Chong said a word, King Jin's face became even more serious.

Chen Taibao looked at the situation under the city wall, and continued.

"Not only that, there should have been a reinforced magic circle near the moat to prevent it from being filled with earth magic by those monks."

"Looking at it this way, there are also no magic circles activated near the moat."

"There are also those huge trenches, which were filled up by those monks without any defensive circle at all."

"In order to save trouble, the trapped horse pits are directly connected into a large piece instead of being punched into small holes one by one."

"Even the obstacles used to block them are made of the most common ordinary iron."

Chen Taibao could barely speak anymore.

He pointed to the staff and generals behind King Jin, and asked with a surprised expression.

"Didn't you consider the means of practitioners when you were arranging the city defense?"

"Your so-called defensive measures can only stop the most ordinary soldiers, but any practitioner who comes here can walk on the ground like a normal person!"

King Jin's face was frighteningly dark.

Although he is ambitious, he is not really an idiot.

Although he didn't understand the matter of marching and fighting, he could still analyze a lot from the mouths of the two martial artists.

The wars in this world are not just battles between ordinary people.

Witchcraft, spells, sorcery, warriors, Confucian scholars...

There are thousands of paths of practice.

On the general battlefield, there will be some special practitioners participating in the battle.

If the city defense is really arranged, how could it be possible that there is no way to counter it?

In less than an hour, the opponent's troops had already reached the city wall like walking on the ground.

If there are a few fourth-rank powerhouses on the other side, and they directly climb over the city wall, then...

Apart from the so-called magic circle of the city wall, there is no extra power for self-protection!

King Jin suddenly turned his head and glared at the soldiers and staff behind him.

"Say it!"

"What exactly is going on!"

He blushed and his neck was thick, and his breathing became more and more labored.

I only felt my own face, as if I had been slapped a few times, with burning pain.

Shame!

What a shame!
The elite that I have been boasting about before is actually at this level?
He looked at the two Wu Xun disciples behind him again.

The two of them had just come here.

He was so ashamed in front of this group of new subordinates.

Beside the city wall, the sound of killing was getting closer and closer.

King Jin's face paled instantly.

He realized that the most important question now was not whether he should lose face or not.

I am still on the edge of the city wall.

If the city breaks down, my own life will be lost!
