Soon, the Zhen army advanced to only fifty steps away from Wancheng. At this time, Lei Zhen shouted loudly: "All troops, shoot arrows!"

Hu——Following his order, a rain of arrows flew out from the top of Wancheng and fell directly towards the Zhen army camp.

Puff, puff, puff!

The sound of arrows breaking through armor and hitting shields rang out in the Zhen army camp. Countless Zhen army soldiers screamed and fell to the ground, but people's arrows did not scare the Zhen army away, but made the Zhen army's charge more fierce.

Not long after, the Zhen army had advanced to the moat. People placed the cloud ladder across the moat to block the bridge. Then, the Zhen army soldiers ran over the cloud ladder one by one and rushed to the bottom of the city.

The dense rain of arrows on the city continued. At the same time, the city-breaking crossbows, army-breaking crossbows and catapults in the city were all activated. Crossbow arrows and falling rocks hit the crowd of Zhen army from time to time, causing the Zhen army soldiers to fall down in groups. However, for every one who fell, two rushed up from behind. When charging, the Zhen army soldiers were like beasts with red eyes. Even if there was a hot bed in front of them, they would jump in without hesitation.

Outside Wancheng, corpses were already everywhere, blood flowed like a river, and the moat was full of floating corpses, and the river water had been dyed scarlet.

The Zhen army rushed to the foot of Wancheng by stepping on the corpses of their comrades, and then they set up ladders one after another. The Zhen army soldiers used all their strength to climb up.

The new recruits of the Feng army who went to the battlefield for the first time encountered the Zhen army who fought extremely fiercely. This was more like a nightmare. Many people shot arrows until their hands were tired, but the Zhen army showed no signs of retreating. Seeing the Zhen army outside the city frantically climbing the ladders and roaring like wild beasts, some Feng army retreated in fear and dared not approach the edge of the wall.

Another part of the Feng army had been driven half crazy by the Zhen army. They grabbed the rolling logs and pounding stones around them and threw them randomly outside the city without aiming. With such a defense, how could they stop the charge of the Zhen army? Not long after, some Zhen soldiers rushed to the top of the city, swung their swords, and fought with the Feng army on the city.

When defending the city, the Feng army couldn't resist the Zhen army. Now it became a close combat, and the Feng army was even more defeated. The section of the city wall that was broken through, the Feng army was defeated one after another, and more and more Zhen soldiers rushed up, shouting and chasing the defeated Feng army soldiers.

Seeing that this side was broken through by the Zhen soldiers, Lei Zhen roared and dragged his halberd to meet him. Just after passing through the crowd of his own side, dozens of Zhen soldiers who were bloodthirsty rushed to him. Lei Zhen shouted, swung the Kaitian war halberd, and swept out.

Kacha! With just one swing of the halberd, five Zhen soldiers were cut in half. Then, Lei Zhen released the Spiritual Chaos·Wind, and the dozens of Zhen soldiers behind him were cut into pieces by the flying spiritual blades.

After killing all the enemy soldiers in front of him, Lei Zhen did not stop for a moment and continued to rush forward. As he walked and passed, the Zhen soldiers who rushed to the city wall screamed, and their broken limbs and arms fell from the top of the city. At the same time, a long scarlet blood mist appeared on the city wall.

The hundreds of Zhen soldiers who rushed to the city were almost killed by Lei Zhen alone. Looking at the bloody and murderous Lei Zhen, the wind soldiers who were originally fleeing stopped their steps, and stood there as if their acupoints were pressed.

Lei Zhen looked at the Feng army on his left and right and shouted, "Madam is on the city wall now, fighting side by side with us. Facing a powerful enemy, Madam, a woman, did not retreat. As men, how can you flee without fighting? Are you worthy of the name of Feng people?"

The Feng army blushed and felt ashamed. They were stunned for a moment, then shouted and ran back to their positions. Some picked up bows and arrows, and some picked up rolling logs and stones to shoot and smash at the enemy outside the city. This is knowing shame and then being brave.

Lei Zhen had just stabilized the situation here when another section of the city wall was breached by the Zhen soldiers. Lei Zhen did not even have time to stop and breathe, so he could only carry the Kaitian war halberd and rush over at full speed to reinforce.

Under the fierce attack of the Zhen army, the defense line of the Feng army was riddled with holes. Lei Zhen stabilized this side, but the other side was in chaos. He stabilized the other side, but this side was in chaos again. He was alone, running around on the city wall, "putting out fires" everywhere, but no matter how capable he was, he was only one person after all. The Feng army was powerless and even retreated in fear. How could Lei Zhen alone stop so many Zhen troops?

The battle lasted less than half an hour, and the defense line of the Feng army was completely defeated. A large number of soldiers did not listen to the command and fled down the city wall in fear and retreated to the city. The Zhen army outside the city also took the opportunity to rush to the top of the city. Looking around, the long city wall was full of Zhen army figures. The remaining Feng army was pitifully small. Even if some people did not escape and insisted on fighting, they were soon chopped to the ground by the surrounding Zhen soldiers.

At this time, Zong Yuan on the city gate tower was sweating profusely. No wonder the Zhen army entered his country as if it were no one's home. No wonder even the Chifeng army was defeated by the enemy. The Zhen army was indeed too fierce in combat. Even if the Pingyuan army confronted it head-on, it might not be able to gain an advantage!

He swallowed his saliva, turned his head and said to Wu Mei in a hurry: "Madam, the Zhen army has broken into the city... Let's run quickly, if we don't run, it will be too late!"

Wu Mei stood on the city gate tower without moving. Her exquisite beauty was surprisingly calm at this time. She shook her head and said: "I can't escape. Once I escape, Wancheng will really be hopeless. Once Wancheng is lost, Yancheng will also be lost. Even the capital will fall. Where can we escape to?"

"But Madam..."

"No need to say more." Wu Mei held the hilt of the sword at her waist and handed a dagger to Zong Yuan, saying: "If the Zhen army attacks later, I will fight with them. If I can't defeat them, you must kill me. I must not fall into the hands of the Zhen people alive!"

"Madam..." Zong Yuan knelt on the ground, tears streaming down his face, and did not dare to take Wu Mei's dagger.

In the past, Zong Yuan's impression of Wu Mei was not very good. It was not that Wu Mei had done anything excessive, but he simply did not like her appearance. Wu Mei was too beautiful. It was okay to admire her, but she was not suitable to be the wife of the king, because such beauty could easily make the king lose himself in it and bring disaster to the country and the people.

But at this moment, Wu Mei made Zong Yuan admire her from the bottom of his heart. At a critical moment of life and death, she was so calm and composed, and she was ready to die. Even he could not do this.

Wu Mei would rather die than retreat. In fact, she could not retreat now even if she wanted to. The Zhen army was outside the city gate tower. The guards who protected Wu Mei gathered at the bottom of the city gate tower and fought desperately to resist the enemy soldiers and generals outside. The guards Wu Mei brought were all guards of the royal palace, elite soldiers in the Pingyuan Army, with superb combat effectiveness. They killed batches of Zhen soldiers who rushed to kill them. Outside the city gate tower, the corpses of Zhen soldiers piled up high.

At this time, Lei Zhen was not far from the city gate tower. He noticed that Wu Mei had not left and was still trapped in the city gate tower. He could not care about others and only wanted to rescue Wu Mei from the siege.

He moved forward with difficulty towards the city gate tower. Every step he took, he had to kill dozens of Zhen soldiers in front of him. By now, Lei Zhen's physical strength had been overdrawn, and his spiritual energy was severely consumed. His spiritual armor was covered with cracks and scars.

Just as Lei Zhen was rushing forward with difficulty, a general of the Zhen Kingdom came forward. This man was burly, a head taller than a man, and a man on his back. He held a large battle axe in his hand. This Zhen general was not someone else, but Xun Xiao.

Xun Xiao didn't know Lei Zhen, and only thought of him as an ordinary wind general. He rushed to Lei Zhen, swung the Axe of Creation, and chopped down fiercely.

Lei Zhen was no longer able to block, so he pulled away and dodged, letting the opponent's axe pass. He returned a halberd.

Xun Xiao snorted and laughed, put away the axe and dodged, then moved forward and punched Lei Zhen in the face.

Lei Zhen also reacted quickly, holding the halberd in one hand and raising the other hand to grab the opponent's wrist.

Xun Xiao laughed loudly, exerted all his strength, swung his arm outward, and shouted: "Get out!"

Buzz!

Lei Zhen's body was like a kite with a broken string. He was thrown out from the city wall by Xun Xiao and fell straight down to the bottom of the city. If Lei Zhen was in his prime, his strength would be almost the same even if he was not as strong as Xun Xiao, but now, he really couldn't stop Xun Xiao's brute force.

Plop!

Lei Zhen fell heavily to the ground in the city, with such force that a human-shaped dent was created on the ground. Seeing this, the Feng army who had fled to the city rushed forward and helped Lei Zhen up, asking one after another: "General Lei, how are you?" "General Lei, where are you injured?"

It took Lei Zhen a long time to catch his breath. Fortunately, he had the spiritual armor to protect his body, so the fall did not cost him his life. With the help of everyone, Lei Zhen slowly stood up, turned his head and looked at the Feng army around him, and asked: "Why did you all run down the city instead of defending the enemy on the city?"

"General Lei, the Zhen army is too powerful, we really can't resist... General Lei, you... just take us and run!"

After hearing this, Lei Zhen closed his eyes and remained silent for a long time.

After a while, he felt that he had recovered some strength, then bent down, picked up his Kaitian war halberd, and asked gloomily: "Run? Where to run? Our parents and family are behind us. If we run, who will protect them? Are we going to watch our loved ones die tragically under the knife of Zhenren?"

The soldiers of Feng Army bowed their heads when they heard this.

Lei Zhen gritted his teeth and continued: "For thousands of years, Feng Country has only had heroes who died for the sake of defending their country, and there has never been a coward who is afraid of death and lives in humiliation! If you are afraid, get out now and run away. Feng Army does not need you. If there are still brothers with blood, follow me to kill the city and drive away the enemy!"

After speaking, Lei Zhen ignored the reactions of the crowd, dragged the long halberd, ran to the steps, and rushed to the city wall. The soldiers of the Feng Army looked at each other, some of them lowered their heads, and some of them blushed. After an unknown amount of time, a Feng general stomped his feet hard, drew his sword, and shouted, "I will fight the thief Zhen!" As he spoke, he followed Lei Zhen.

Someone took the lead, and others immediately responded. The soldiers of the Feng Army, who had originally lost their will to fight, rekindled their fighting spirit. People picked up their weapons and shouted loudly to launch a counterattack on the fallen city wall.
