Chapter 159 Siege
"Dragon Lord's Advisor!"
Ye Hua said through gritted teeth.
Pei Xingjian patted Ye Hua on the shoulder: "Breaking through the clouds and calming your anger."
"The most important thing now is to defend Longmen Pass and defeat the enemy."
Ye Hua nodded, took a deep breath, and tried to calm himself down.
He knew Pei Xingjian was right; the most important thing now was to defeat the enemy and defend the pass.
Everything else can wait until after the battle.
"Release the arrows!"
At Pei Xingjian's command, the archers on the city wall immediately drew their bows to their fullest extent, and arrows rained down on the enemy.
However, the enemy's numbers were simply too great, and although the arrows were dense, they only slowed them down slightly.
Long Junzuo, who had just arrived at Longmen Pass, didn't waste any words.
He directly waved his hand, signaling the army to launch an attack.
Instantly, tens of thousands of troops surged towards Longmen Pass like a tidal wave, their battle cries shaking the heavens.
They began to climb the city walls, intending to storm the city.
However, the soldiers at Longmen Pass were no pushovers either.
They fought bravely, repelling wave after wave of attacks with swords and arrows.
The battle was exceptionally fierce and brutal.
Both sides paid a heavy price, but neither side showed any intention of giving up.
They knew this was a life-or-death battle, and only victory would ensure their survival.
Ye Hua and Pei Xingjian also personally went into battle to fight the enemy.
They took the lead, wielding swords and fighting the enemy.
Logs, rocks, and arrows rained down like a storm, leaving the enemy bleeding and crying out in pain.
The enemy's attacks were repelled time and time again, while the defense of Longmen Pass became increasingly solid.
The battle lasted for a full day and night, and both sides paid a heavy price.
However, Longmen Pass stood firm, like a majestic mountain blocking the enemy's advance.
the next day.
Outside the city, Long Junzuo's 70,000 Wenzhou soldiers, tens of thousands of Sparrow King soldiers, and Daoist soldiers of the Dayong Longque Army had already formed ranks.
Banners fluttered, warhorses neighed, and a chilling atmosphere permeated the air.
Long Junzuo, clad in armor and wielding a long spear, stared intently at Longmen Pass ahead with eyes as sharp as a hawk's.
With a deafening roar of war drums, Long Junzuo brandished his spear and shouted, "Attack the city!"
Immediately, tens of thousands of troops surged toward Longmen Pass like a tidal wave.
The battle cries were deafening, and arrows rained down like raindrops, instantly turning the city walls into a sea of fire.
Pei Xingjian and Ye Hua had long been prepared for a protracted battle.
They commanded over ten thousand soldiers of the Nine Heavens Army to fight bravely. Archers, catapults, and swordsmen and shieldmen performed their duties and cooperated closely, repelling the Sparrow King's army's offensive time and time again.
However, the enemy was too numerous and their attacks were becoming increasingly fierce, and the soldiers on the city walls gradually felt the pressure.
As time went on, the battle entered a fierce stage.
Both sides were fighting with all their might, and soldiers kept falling on the city walls, but new soldiers were immediately sent to take their place.
The shouts of battle, cries of battle, and the sound of war drums intertwined, forming a tragic and heroic war song.
Pei Xingjian and Ye Hua remained steadfast on the city wall, their figures becoming a beacon in the hearts of the soldiers.
Whenever soldiers were exhausted, seeing them still fighting would rouse them to continue fighting.
Long Junzuo was well aware of the difficulty of this battle.
He kept adjusting his tactics, trying to find a breakthrough, but each time Pei Xingjian and Ye Hua cleverly thwarted his efforts.
This surprised him somewhat, based on the information he had gathered.
Currently, the few people at Longmen Pass are all relatively unknown newcomers.
Is he really that difficult to deal with?
But at the same time, it strengthened Long Junzuo's determination to conquer Longmen Pass.
As night fell, the drums of war thundered outside Longmen Pass, and the deafening shouts of battle mingled with the clanging of clashing swords, creating a somber atmosphere.
Wearing dragon scale armor, Long Junzuo stood in front of the Wenzhou army and the Sparrow King army, his eyes as deep as a pool, staring intently at the unyielding Longmen Pass.
The days of siege warfare had left his face showing signs of fatigue and ruthlessness.
Seeing that his tens of thousands of troops had been unable to break through the defenses for a long time, Long Junzuo knew that if things continued like this, morale would be severely damaged.
He took a deep breath and slowly exhaled, having already made up his mind.
He turned around, nodded to the Daoist general of the Dayong Dragon Sparrow Army behind him, and whispered a few instructions.
A glint of shrewdness flashed in the general's eyes, and he bowed and accepted the order before leaving.
Long Junzuo turned around again, facing Longmen Pass. He slowly raised his hands, and his whole body surged with qi.
As he moved, the surrounding air began to tremble, and a tremendous aura rose from his body.
His figure gradually blurred, and in his place appeared a dragon-bird Dharma form that was ten feet tall.
The dragon-bird's form was covered in scaly feathers, and its eyes were like torches, radiating a chilling light that was captivating.
At the same time, the Daoist army of Dayong Longque also began to take action.
They quickly changed formation, using a pre-rehearsed military formation to surround Long Junzuo's Dragon Sparrow Formation in the center.
As the military formation of the Dayong Dragon Sparrow Army was activated, streams of mysterious power surged from the soldiers and converged into the Dragon Sparrow Dharma Image.
This made the aura of the dragon-bird dharma image on Long Junzuo even stronger, as if it were about to break through the sky.
Under the combined effect of the Dragon Sparrow Dharma Image on Long Junzuo and the Great Dragon Sparrow Army's military formation of the Dayong Dynasty, the defensive forces on the Longmen Pass city wall instantly felt unprecedented pressure.
The once-solid city wall began to tremble slightly, as if it might collapse at any moment.
The soldiers of the Nine Heavens Army on the city wall paled. They gripped their weapons tightly and did their best to resist this terrifying force.
However, their resistance seemed so insignificant in the face of this force.
boom!
The Dragon Sparrow Dharma Form, carrying world-destroying power, crashed against the city wall time and time again.
Each impact sent bricks and stones flying from the city wall, terrifying the soldiers defending the city.
Pei Xingjian and Ye Hua stood on the city wall, their expressions unusually solemn.
They knew this was Long Junzuo's last gamble.
As long as we can withstand this final blow, Longmen Pass will be able to catch our breath.
and...
Pei Xingjian glanced at Ye Hua beside him.
Even though Long Junzuo knew that the Jade Kirin Army had arrived at Longmen Pass.
However, he could never have imagined that there was a war god who had cultivated the Jade Kirin Dharma Form at Longmen Pass.
Therefore, his assessment of the Jade Kirin Army's combat strength was absolutely wrong.
When Long Junzuo revealed a weakness.
Even if Ye Hua led the Jade Kirin Army to give Long Junzu a chance to severely injure him, 1
Just as the city wall was about to collapse, Pei Xingjian suddenly shouted, "Form ranks!"
Pei Xingjian studied under Wen Zhong for many years.
They don't know the Daoist Soldier Formation.
However, he still knows quite a lot of common military formations.
Pei Xingjian flashed and rushed to the edge of the city wall.
The soldiers of the Nine Heavens Army followed closely behind, quickly changing their formation.
They wielded their weapons with a wondrous rhythm, merging their own strength with that of the city walls.
Just then, the Dragon Sparrow Dharma Form once again crashed into the city wall with the force of a thunderbolt.
However, this time, it did not advance as rapidly as before.
On the city wall, the Nine Heavens Army's formation seemed to form an indestructible barrier, completely blocking the power of the Dragon Sparrow Dharma Image.
The clash between the Dragon Sparrow Dharma Form and the Nine Heavens Army formation lasted for a full quarter of an hour.
During this period, the forces of both sides constantly intertwined, clashed, and eroded.
Finally, with a deafening roar, the power of the Nine Heavens Army formation was completely neutralized by the Dragon Sparrow Dharma Image.
However, with the collapse of the Nine Heavens Army's formation...
The power of the Dragon Sparrow Dharma Form also showed a slight weakness.
