Beidou Continent

Five days later, before Tiankui's army arrived at the city, Huang Yuan handed Wei Zi and Bai Yang two private letters brought back by Pengniao. The two letters were from Bai Muchen and Wei Xiuxiu, but their contents were completely different.

Bai Muchen highly praised their achievements in holding back Tiankui's army for nearly five years, and also praised their courage to stay on the front line of the battle. At the end of the letter, he told them to pay attention to their own safety and not to force themselves if something was impossible.

Wei Xiuxiu deeply criticized their disorderly behavior of absenting themselves from school for nearly five years, and expressed deep dissatisfaction with their failure to return from school. Throughout the article, they are required to return to school as soon as possible and complete their studies. At the end of the letter, I briefly mentioned that if the sky fell, my parents and elders would still be able to hold it up, and they wouldn’t need the juniors to carry it.

Holding Wei Xiuxiu's letter, Wei Zi burst into tears, wishing to return to Yaoguang Palace immediately, but in the end, he did not take any final action. There are times when parents and elders can’t handle it. They are already 20 years old, can they really take the blame?

Seven days later, reinforcements were unknown, but Tiankui's army had already arrived at the city. Yu Zongheng personally went to the top of the city to supervise the battle. He sent a message asking everyone in Se to raid the formation, and everyone in Se hurried off immediately.

Standing at the top of the city, Wei Zi looked around. A hundred feet away from the east gate, south gate and north gate of the old capital were Tiankui soldiers in heavy armor, numbering as many as 100,000. Siege vehicles and crossbowmen are already in place, and they will launch a violent attack just after the commander gives the order.

Further away, two chariots caught Wei Zi's attention. One is dark and the other is bright yellow. When he looked around with his spiritual sense, he saw a young man sitting in the bright yellow chariot. His cultivation level was not high and his marrow power was about level seven. However, there was a spiritual barrier around the dark chariot, and even Wei Zi could not find out what was inside. Case.

Chariot? Wei Zi was slightly confused. On the battlefield, the chariot's flexibility is obviously not as good as that of a single rider, and its target is even more obvious. Who would choose to sit in a chariot? Is it for show or for safety? Or is it simply a trap to lure the enemy into?

Without giving Wei Zi time to think, Tiankui's army had already beaten the war drums, and what followed was not a fearless impact, but a flood of crossbow arrows. For a moment, arrows rained down from the walls of the old capital. The sound of sharp arrows piercing the air and the muffled groans of soldiers were endless.

It is not that there are shield-hands among the soldiers guarding the city, but the wooden shields in their hands were unable to block the strike of the opponent's crossbow. With just a bang, the hit shield will break in half. What's even more frightening is that the momentum of the arrows and crossbows continues to hit the soldiers holding shields. After a round of attacks, more than 10% of the soldiers defending the city were killed or injured, and they had to be taken over by subsequent soldiers.

Naturally, there were shields and oars on the city walls of the old capital. However, the iron shields and oars were like paper under the arrows of the Tiankui soldiers. They were passed straight through, leaving only a hole on the shield surface. A hole as big as the mouth of a bowl.

Even the specially made stainless steel shield placed in front of Yu Zongheng was embedded by the crossbow arrow for more than three inches, and the arrow tail swayed slightly outside the shield, making a buzzing sound. The prince, who had been in a high position for a long time, was so frightened that he took a few steps back until his back reached the battlement behind him. Then he stopped. For a moment, his face turned pale and pale.

Tiankui's army obviously made special arrangements for the siege. The shield bearers in the first row set up huge steel shields. After the crossbowmen in the second row fired a row of crossbows, they quickly retreated to install the crossbows. Crossbowman on top. The attacks were so intensive that they did not give the soldiers defending the city any time to breathe.
