As night falls, the "stars" twinkle.
Seeing those bright "stars" light up from the southeast, many Zhao soldiers were curious about the dazzling phenomenon...
"Hey? Why do I feel like these stars are approaching us?"
As soon as a Zhao soldier finished speaking, a sound of breaking through the air followed! With a hissing sound, a bright crossbow arrow pierced the man's neck, causing his eyes to widen. He fell straight down without saying a word...
Just when the Zhao army was still in shock, a wave of arrows suddenly fell from the sky!
Huh, hhh!
Along with the Zhao army's screams, a rain of arrows fell fiercely, like harvesting wheat, directly taking away a large number of lives...
The city wall of Jindu fell into chaos in an instant!
At this point, some of the Zhao army finally came to their senses... As the distance got closer, they finally saw what the "stars" in front of them were...
"People! There are enemies in the sky!"
"Wearing armor, with wings glowing white on his back... What kind of treasure is this? But, there can't be so many flying treasures..."
"Idiot, why do you still care about so much at this critical moment! They are all enemy troops anyway!"
"Enemy attack! Defend with shields, archers shoot back!—"
After all, they are worthy of being the elite soldiers entrusted by Emperor Zhao with the important task of defending the city. Even though they are not as strong as the core army of Emperor Zhao, at the critical moment, some of them quickly raised their shields above their heads to protect their companions, and many people directly picked up crossbows and shot back with all their strength!
However…
The effect is not satisfactory.
Those shields that the Zhao army had placed their hopes of protection on were all destroyed in the third wave of concentrated shooting. The exposed flaws gave the enemy an opportunity to strike, and the archers who were still shooting... How powerful could shooting arrows from below into the sky be
Almost all the arrows fell before they reached halfway and had no chance of hitting the people in the air.
Instead, the powerful crossbows shot down from the sky took advantage of the momentum and fell down, extremely sharp, like a deadly hail, falling everywhere, reaping the lives of the Zhao army and completely plunging them into a mess...
The scene was a one-sided massacre. Countless Zhao soldiers were running for their lives, screaming and escaping. Some of them were alert and realized that something was wrong, so they hurried to inform Emperor Zhao...
…
…
After a moment.
"What? There are enemies in the air? There are thousands of them? How... How is this possible?"
After listening to the report from the soldiers in front of him, Emperor Zhao couldn't help but show an expression of extreme horror.
You know, the flying treasures of Shenzhou are very precious, even great practitioners may not have them... So for Shenzhou, the concept of "air force" is very vague. It's not that no one has tried it, but those people... either failed, or made useless things, and eventually nothing came of it...
But now
Thousands of air force attacked, leaving the Zhao army without any chance to fight back!
This is definitely a scene that is enough to change the textbooks of war in China!
"The Great Zhou Dynasty... has actually been able to achieve this?"
Hearing the shocking words of Emperor Zhao, Mo Xiang's eyes also flashed with a hint of surprise... But after a moment, he regained his composure and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, don't worry, it should not be the Great Zhou that did it, but someone... who did it."
Emperor Zhao was stunned when he heard this, and then his eyes were instantly filled with murderous intent, and he asked in a cold voice: "Chu Tianxiao?"
"… I guess it's just his 'strange' army of losers." Mo Xiang sighed and said.
You know, as Chu Tianxiao made a series of moves, the name of the prodigal army was finally exposed to the eyes of the countries in Shenzhou. I don’t know how many military leaders have done research on this newly emerged "strange" army, and labeled it as "elite and brave, so far intact, suspected to have a way to divide the wounds", "able to switch weapons in the face of the enemy", "proficient in all arms", etc...
It cannot be said that he completely understood the situation, but he did have a basic understanding, which was why Mo Xiang was able to quickly guess who the invading enemy was.
However, guessing it is one thing. When he heard with his own ears that this army was so strange that even the 'air force' could be transformed... Mo Xiang still couldn't help sighing.
"... If what I have predicted is correct, this kind of 'novelty' must have its limits. It is very likely that Chu Tianxiao was able to create this scene by chance... Your Majesty, you do not need to worry about the hundreds of thousands of soldiers of the Great Zhou taking off. You only need to find a way to deal with this army."
Mo Xiang is worthy of being Mo Xiang. He guessed most of the things just based on his experience.
After hearing this, Emperor Zhao's expression eased a little, but the murderous intent in his eyes did not diminish at all: "This man must not be left alive! However, the most urgent task is to repel the enemy... Our army has no experience in dealing with the Heavenly Master, but I wonder if you have any good ideas, Elder?"
“… I don’t know how to deal with the Heavenly Master, but I understand the principle of checks and balances of all things.” Mo Xiang said, “Great practitioners cannot fly into the air, and flying treasures also have shackles. How can those Heavenly Masters last long? Now that the Jindu City Screen has been repaired, Chu Tianxiao may be able to drive straight in and pass the outer city screen, but he will never be able to use this to cheat and pass the inner city screen! Therefore, we only need to wait for the opponent’s momentum to disappear and fall from the sky. That’s when our army will switch from defense to offense!”
After hearing this, Emperor Zhao agreed with it and immediately gave orders. At the same time, he secretly assembled the Emperor's army in the city... just waiting for Chu Tianxiao and the others to fall, and then he would rush up and tear them into pieces!
"... This man has obviously been forced to the edge of a cliff this time, and his target is obviously Your Majesty." After watching Emperor Zhao finish all this, Prime Minister Mo pondered for a moment and analyzed, "If he can't... gain anything this time, then he will definitely die... So, Your Majesty needs to be careful."
"Ha ha ha ha!"
After hearing what Prime Minister Mo said, Emperor Zhao suddenly burst into laughter: "He wants to kill me?"
"Not to mention that the city has reinforcements from all sides, including my Young Emperor Army and three great cultivators... Even I myself have reached the Soul Enlightenment Realm. How can he, a mere Tongxuan Realm, go deep into the city alone and want to kill me?"
"Is there any joke in the world funnier than this?"
Emperor Zhao did not hide his sarcasm at all, his eyes were filled with murderous intent: "I think he came to me on his own, saving me a lot of effort! This time, I must capture this man alive, cut off his limbs, and turn him into a human pig to relieve my hatred!"
Mo Xiang was silent for a moment after hearing this, and then said: "Your Majesty, after capturing this man... you might as well make a deal with the Zhou Dynasty..."
"No need!" Emperor Zhao waved his hand and snorted, "When the emperor gets angry, millions of people will die! Since I have the chance, I will definitely skin him alive with my own hands. How can I let others do it?"
Hearing this, Mo Xiang stopped trying to persuade him and just said, "In that case, I have only one thing to say... Chu Tianxiao is seeking his own death this time, and he is already trapped. For the time being, there is no need to spend that much money to let a great cultivator kill him... If Your Majesty is worried, I am willing to personally go to the battlefield and will not let him have any chance to escape!"
"…Alright, thank you, Mr. Guo."
As the king and his ministers asked and answered each other, it was obvious that they had regarded Chu Tianxiao as a meal.
However, at this moment...
Suddenly, a blood-soaked soldier ran in from outside and shouted, "Your Majesty... The enemy has landed and is charging towards the inner city!"
After saying this, Emperor Zhao smiled coldly and said, "As the old man said, this guy's target is me... He didn't even retreat when he saw my great Zhao army, which shows that he has some courage..."
"But the more this happens, the more I cannot let you stay!"
He looked at the man and said in a serious voice.
"Pass on my order. Order Haolian and Zheng Duo to quickly lead the capital guards to block the way back from the outer city. Do not let any enemy escape! You, go and pass the order!"
After these words fell, the soldier not only did not turn around, but fell to his knees with a plop, blood and tears spurting out...
"Your Majesty, please forgive me! All 10,000 guards have been annihilated, and Generals Haolian and Zheng Duo have also been killed! The brothers in the outer city can hardly hold on! Should we fight or flee? Please make a decision as soon as possible, Your Majesty!"
These words sounded like thunder.
"What did you say?!"
