When Xia Ji arrived in front of the city gate, the morale around him had dropped to the extreme. But someone shouted, "The Seventh Prince is coming down." The crowd suddenly started to make a fuss, and everyone stood up and squeezed over to take a look.
I saw the majestic black-armored prince walking towards me on the masonry road. Behind the prince was a princess in full dress, and behind the princess were a thousand stern guards.
The royal family's personal visit to the front line immediately gave the soldiers defending the city a shot in the arm, and their morale gradually increased.
Xia Ji walked along the winding bluestone steps to the top of the wall. Eunuch Mei and the chief steward were waiting for him. The chief steward in the wheelchair sneered and nodded to him without saying anything. Today you and I will die together. What do you want to say? Let’s talk about it on the road to hell, and no matter what, the emperor’s plan will eventually be realized, but it will only cost him his own life.
Deng Jue was stunned for a moment when he saw the domineering armor and weapons of the Seventh Prince, but then he came to his senses and personally led him and the princess into the only small building on the city wall. There were piles of fine wine in the building, and then asked: "Your Highness, what do you think?" How is it here?"
"Very good."
"Then His Highness is right here... I'm going."
After Deng Jue left, Xia Ji stood in the city wall tower overlooking the battlefield.
The snow is covered with bones, and it looks like hell. Nearly a million refugees are still outside the city, captured by the ghost army. They kill some people every day as a provocation, and these seem to be at least a thousand people at a time.
Xia Xiaosu was lying on the tower window, crying as she looked at it, "嘤嘤嘤, 嘤嘤嘤..."
The crying became louder and louder, and the rouge on his face melted.
Xia Jiqi asked: "What are you talking about?"
Xia Xiaosu: "So many people died, it's so pitiful."
Xia Ji raised his hand and hugged the girl directly into his arms, rubbed her eyes, "Stop crying."
Xia Xiaosu calmed down obediently, but she still looked at the mountain of corpses and sea of blood below the city with a grimace, and she couldn't stop crying.
The ghost army in the distance seemed to have undergone some changes. Dozens of giants about five or six meters tall walked out of the flying snow. These giants' skin was slightly blue, and their bodies were surrounded by heavy flying snow. They held in their hands more than two feet. A huge mace, with some skeletons hanging on its neck, some of human beings and some of wild beasts.
"Is this the Frost Giant? They actually use skeletons as decorations?"
"The ancient books say that those are their proud trophies, decorated to show their majesty. Usually only the enemies who put them in hard battles, or the most powerful figures in the tribal cities they conquered, are qualified to become their skull accessories. ." Xia Ji looked at the pale girl and smiled, "For example... you and me."
Xia Xiaosu was so frightened that her whole body trembled and she stopped crying. She didn't want to die and have her head cut off, the skin and flesh removed, and dried to make jewelry.
The arrival of the frost giants triggered a new round of fierce fighting, and these frost giants were indeed the darlings of Fengxue. They were really invulnerable, and they did not hide, but walked directly towards the city gate from the front.
Deng Jue's roaring voice suddenly sounded from the city wall: "Fire the arrow!!"
Suddenly, thousands of bowstrings sounded.
The frost giants paused, and the arrows fell on the giants with the snow, making a crisp "ding-ding-ding" impact sound, but these many shots only made the giants stop.
As soon as the rain of arrows stopped, they started walking again.
harm? It doesn't exist, it can't even break through the defense of ice and snow armor, it can't even reach the skin of a giant.
"Brother, what are they going to do?"
Xia Jidao: "Of course I just use a stick to blast open the city gate. With that kind of defense and that kind of brute force, why do you want to take advantage of others?"
Xia Xiaosu asked: "Why are there only a few dozen giants? Didn't the frontline emergency report say there were three thousand frost giants? Otherwise, the prince and his army of 100,000 would not have collapsed in a sneak attack late at night."
Xia Ji thought for a moment, then held his chin and said: "The ancient books say that these giants usually don't like to leave their base too far, so... it's possible that many giants went back after breaking through the Wolf Seal Pass, and those who came here are all They were some adventurous giants.”
Xia Xiaosu couldn't help but rolled his eyes and complained: "What kind of adventurous spirit?"
Xia Ji said seriously: "Self-breakthrough, pioneering and innovative."
Xia Xiaosu burst into laughter.
Xia Ji could see through it, and so could Deng Jue. The military's powerful crossbows were immediately aimed at the giant under the city. A series of powerful arrows with thick arms broke through the wind and snow, causing a harsh sound, tearing the sky, and shooting towards giant.
The snowstorm armor was shattered.
But the end of the strong crossbow did not penetrate Lu Zhen, and when the powerful arrow reached the giant's skin, it had no strength, so it was still useless.
Seeing the Frost Giant getting closer and closer, the soldiers guarding the city had a look of despair in their eyes. They could only keep aiming at the Giant and firing crossbows.
The young men in the city who assisted in the defense had long since lost their initial vitality.
"How can you win against such a monster..."
"This is not human at all!"
"It's useless for anyone to come, this kind of monster can't be killed at all."
As the frost giants approached, there were more and more voices like this, and Deng Jue also tried his best. In addition, there were many martial arts people from aristocratic families and martial arts circles who were helping to defend the city. It was just looking at these giants. Their postures also showed panic in their eyes.
Suddenly a swordsman said: "The monk Beikong of Leiyin Temple has great magic power and holds a magic weapon. Who can invite him? He will definitely come here to subdue this giant?"
The chief manager sitting in the wheelchair sneered in his heart. Leiyin Temple had already decided that this would be a catastrophe destined for the imperial city. During the catastrophe, the gates of the mountain had been closed. There were still many monks who said they wanted to spread the Dharma to the south and left with the emperor. How could Beikong get involved in this cause and effect
Another middle-aged man from the aristocratic family holding an iron sword said: "I heard that Lu Qi, a great scholar in the court, cultivated Haoran Purple Qi, and was given a Confucian Immortal magic weapon to kill demons. If he were here, he would definitely be able to kill this giant. …”
The chief manager heard this and smiled even more disdainfully. Lu Qi would not "know what cannot be done but do it". The "Qi" in his name is taken from "Thinking of Qi when he sees the virtuous, and hesitating when he sees the virtuous." Self-examination.”
Therefore, when he received the information of the alien tiger and wolf attack, he proposed to the emperor overnight: "You are a fool if you don't know what cannot be done, but you are a fool; you are a wise man if you know what cannot be done and do not do it. Now that the emperor is standing under a dangerous wall, why not Go south and build a new capital, and wait until the next year to reorganize the army, and the time and place are favorable, and you can take revenge." The emperor accepted it, and Lu Qi was now with the emperor, surrounded by an army of 50,000, thousands of miles away.
If you don't escape, isn't it because the information is lagging behind, or because your family has a big business and the city gate is blocked and you can't escape, so you want to fight
The General Manager was calm on his face, but he was sarcastic in his heart. The bustle in the world was for profit, and the hustle and bustle in the world was for profit. He looked at the tower in the distance, and could vaguely see two figures in it.
Your Highness, the seventh prince, our family is just waiting for you to die. After you die, the emperor's mission will be completed, and our family's resentment will be eliminated. He looked sideways at Eunuch Mei and said through the message: "Little Meizi, if His Highness the Seventh Prince dies, just slap our Tianling Gai with one palm, and then run for your life."
On the other side, Deng Jue had already sent out dead soldiers with giant shields and spears in hand to resist the city gate. At the same time, more war equipment, large crossbows, and flint carts were all deployed on the top of the city...
Guifang saw that the city gate was open, so several more vanguard Qianlangqi drove the refugees over. The refugees had no way to run. When they saw the city gate opened, they could only run towards the gate as hard as they could.
In the wind and snow, the bloody battlefield like a meat grinder began again.
