Chapter 199 Collapse

Life.

In a peaceful and prosperous era, everyone sang loudly and fought against injustice.

In the chaotic times, it was something that could be measured with real gold and silver.

And in war.

This thing was nothing but grass.

The long arrows that glowed with cold light poured down like a waterfall.

Roaring, screaming miserably in the night, dripping blood blooming like red lotuses, one after another.

In a short span of ten breaths, three arrows rained down.

Thousands of lives fell.

And this was only the beginning.

One by one, the former of the Netherpassage Realm stood on the top of the city wall. Ye Hongjian, Fang Ziyu, Zhou Zhang, and the others were also among them. At this realm, true essence was converted into true essence, and cultivators would have the ability to drive true essence in all directions.

True Essence, sword intent, saber radiance, and even people like Fang Ziyu who directly transformed swords into sword formations were all there. Those things carried a powerful force, causing a loud rumble at the gates. Pieces of flesh and blood were blurred, and they exploded in the vanguard army of the Great Xia Dynasty at that time.

This was just a face-to-face battle. Under the indiscriminate bombardment of Big Yellow City, nearly ten thousand people of the Great Xia Army had died in battle. However, this was only a phoenix-feathered water chestnut compared to the enemy's huge army.

At this time, the vanguard of Mu Ji's army had already rushed to the gates.

Boom!

The giant iron siege hammer was lifted up, and under the cover of the shield-armored soldiers, it began to bombard the city gate of Big Yellow City.

"Guard the city gate!" Lin Yu Guo, who was in charge of the city gate defense, shouted loudly. Hundreds of sturdy soldiers used their bodies to firmly press down on the city gate. Against the opponent's powerful collision.

"Fire the arrow!" Lin Shou on the city wall roared angrily, This time, the archers poured their sharp arrows towards the enemy at the gates. However, it was obvious that the enemy had expected this. The shield made of black iron was raised high up, forming an impervious shield wall. The rain of arrows poured down and struck the shield, making a crisp bang sound. However, the number of people who could really injure the enemy was very few.

The siege hammer was still knocking on the city gate of Big Yellow City, and more and more enemy troops rushed to the gate of Big Yellow City.

It's raining harder and harder.

Lin Shou frowned, "Dragon Oil Ball!" He shouted angrily.

The soldiers in the surroundings immediately understood. At that time, nearly ten thousand people retreated and pushed out spherical objects made of vegetation that were close to human height from the resources behind them. The ball-shaped objects seemed to be covered with some liquid that Xu Han could not name, emitting a pungent smell.

"Fire!" Just as Xu Han was puzzled, Lin Shou let out another furious roar. At that moment, the torch lightly touched the spheres. Instantly, raging flames ignited, and even the rain poured down from the sky could not stop the fire.

As the flames lit up, the soldiers hurriedly threw the so-called dragon oil balls down the city wall without waiting for Lin Shou to give the order.

The giant fireball tumbled down from the nearly fifty zhang tall tower. The massive impact crashed into the shield walls raised by the enemy, The owners of the shields let out painful cries. Naturally, they were unable to support the shield. After the heavy blow, the dragon oil ball was even more shattered. As the gap in the shield wall fell, the things coated on it were obviously extremely flammable. Immediately, a sea of flames rose up below the city walls amidst a wailing sound.

With such a method, the enemy's siege formation was thrown into chaos, and the situation at the city gate was slightly improved. However, the rain was still falling, and there was no way for the fire to spread. It could not cause any fundamental damage to the enemy. Evidently, Mu Ji had expected Lin Shou to do this. He had chosen Rain Night to attack the city in order to restrain Lin Shou.

Great Xia's soldiers were still rushing forward, but the 200,000 Mu Clan soldiers standing behind them were like sculptures in the rainy night, motionless.

…

"General, should we send the Heavenly Hunt Camp and the Divine Arrow Army to support us?" Mu Liang looked at the bloody Xia army in front of him and frowned. He walked to Mu Ji, who was sitting on a wooden chair with an umbrella, and asked softly.

Mu Ji's expression was calm as he looked at the Xia army camp that was wailing endlessly. There was not the slightest emotional fluctuation in his eyes.

"Wait a moment." The expression in his eyes did not change at all, as if everything in front of him was just an insignificant puppet show.

Mu Liang was stunned. He wanted to say something, but after facing the man's lifeless eyes, he still swallowed the words that came to his mouth.

…

The city walls of Big Yellow City were a little too tall. It was almost impossible to ascend the city with a wooden staircase.

The Great Xia soldiers, who had been unable to take down for a long time, had the intention to retreat, and they were already on the verge of fleeing.

In just a quarter of an hour, forty thousand corpses had died under the city wall.

"Meng Tong! Boulder Carriage!!!" Lin Shou could see Xia Jun's decline, so he was naturally very good at beating down dogs. At that time, he let out a loud shout.

Although Meng Tong's personality was somewhat narrow-minded, he was still a veteran general who had followed Lin Shou for many years. He would not let Lin Shou off the chain at this time. After hearing this, he quickly regained his senses.

"Go! Drive the giant stone carriage!" Meng Tong instructed the soldiers around him. Hearing this, the soldiers hurriedly moved. Nearly a thousand people retreated into the depths of the city wall. After a few breaths, dull voices rang out from the city wall.

Xu Han was stunned. He looked over and saw dozens of huge catapults being pushed to the front of the city wall.

These catapults were different from what Xu Han had seen in the past. They were forty to fifty feet tall and were made of some unknown metal. They glowed coldly in the night like a terrifying beast. Yu Yu opened his fangs at night.

The soldiers under Meng Tong were obviously very familiar with this item. They had only used less than a hundred breaths of time to complete their preparations for loading and aiming.

"Fire!" Following Meng Tong's furious roar, the soldiers in charge of the operation touched the torch in their hands on the boulder that was clearly half a meter in size. The boulder immediately lit up with blazing flames.

"Let go!" Then, Meng Tong gave the order.

The dozens of enormous catapults let out a dull rumble. The giant stone ball drew a resplendent arc in the night sky like a meteor, and then fiercely smashed into the Xia army crowd.

Each boulder turned dozens of living beings into blurry flesh and blood. Then, sparks splashed everywhere, and the army of Great Xia was filled with chickens, flying dogs, and jumping dogs.

However, Lin Shou, who was standing on the city wall, frowned. He was not satisfied with such a result.

If it weren't for the rainy weather, the casualties of the Xia army would at least have doubled with these two fires.

However, this was enough to completely annihilate the aura of the Xia army.

"Let's go!"

"Retreat!" It was unknown who let out such a wail, but Xia Jun, who was already on the verge of collapse, was finally unable to hold on any longer and began to collapse towards the rear.

…

"General?" When Mu Liang saw this scene, he frowned and looked at Mu Ji, who was standing beside him, his eyes filled with worry.

No man is a machine that only knows how to execute orders.

Even the elite troops would be timid in the face of undefeatable enemies and the shadows of death that constantly shrouded them.

The Xia army was defeated. They rushed towards the rear of the Mu Clan Army, trying to seek refuge.

Mu Ji stared coldly at the surging army and looked at the panic on their faces.

"Escape, cholera morale, kill." The man opened his mouth and spat out such a cold voice.

"This?" The expressions of the surrounding people changed when they heard this. No one expected Mu Ji to give such an order.

Everyone was a little stunned, but they quickly regained their senses. They would not oppose this man's intentions after all. For all these years, it seemed that as long as they acted according to the man's intentions, they would always be able to obtain the final victory.

This thought was deeply rooted in their hearts, so the generals led by Mu Liang came to the front of the formation.

"Escape, cholera morale, kill." Following Mu Liang's order, the armoured Mu Clan army was lined up in front of the formation. The aura displayed by this army, which could be said to be the best in Great Zhou, was truly heartbreaking.

With a crisp bang, the saber was unsheathed. Before the Xia army could regain consciousness, a cold light came and hundreds of Xia army heads landed at the front. On the other hand, the soldiers of the Mu Clan Army did not even move a single bit.

Cui Ting was not a fool.

When Mu Ji asked him for 300,000 troops, he would naturally give them to him, but they were all given to the weak in his hands. The true elites were still tightly held in his hands.

Behind them, Xia Jun stared blankly at his comrades who had died in front of them, and an incredulous expression instantly appeared on his face.

They really couldn't understand why their fellow robes would wave their butcher's knives at them.

"Turn around and attack the city, or … die!" A white-armored Mu Liang stepped out and walked to the front of the group. His saber trembled and his aura as a Great Evolution Realm cultivator leaked out like a tidal wave. He looked at the soldiers of the Xia Army who were like stray dogs and said coldly.

Although these Xia soldiers were inferior horses in Cui Ting's hands, they weren't fools. The cold arrows and flint from Big Yellow City howled towards them. They were simply unable to attack the city. If they went back, they would die, and if they went forward, they would die as well.

"These thieves of the Zhou Dynasty want to kill us, let's fight them!" It was unknown who let out such a loud shout, and the Xia army was immediately filled with excitement.

As if they had made up their minds not to return to Big Yellow City to die, the Xia army unfurled their swords and pointed at Mu Liang's Mu Clan Army.

"Since you won't let us live, then we won't let you live well either!"

After all, they were all soldiers who licked their blood with their knives.

Mu Liang frowned. He did not believe that with Mu Ji's mind, he would not have expected such a result. He really could not understand what Mu Ji was thinking.

But now was clearly not the time to think about this. At that time, his eyebrows sank and his aura condensed. He shouted, "Kill!"

The tens of thousands of Mu Clan soldiers behind him also responded in a low voice, "Kill!"

The shouts shook the heavens and reached the clouds.

As a result, the two hundred thousand strong Great Xia Army had attracted a bleak fate of being attacked back and forth in this rainy night.

It rained a little harder.

But it couldn't wash away the growing stench of blood outside Big Yellow…
