Chapter 1360: War Begins
After Ren Gang tore off his hypocritical face, Chang Xiao's face became more solemn, and his heart was in entanglement and hesitation.
Should he open the city gate and let the Ninth Prince occupy Dongze Mansion, or choose to fight against them?
At this time, Ren Gang spoke again: "Chang Xiao, don't challenge my patience. I'll give you half a quarter of an hour to consider. After half a quarter of an hour, my soldiers will attack the city!"
Hearing this, Chang Xiao remained silent, and the general and other high-level officials in the city looked at him.
"Your Excellency, why don't you surrender? We can't beat you!"
A saint-level high-level persuaded.
"Nonsense, we are officials of the Holy Alliance, loyal to the leader, how can we surrender!"
Another saint-level high-level retorted.
The third saint-level high-level did not speak.
So, Chang Xiao looked at the general: "Yu Ming, what about you? Should we fight or surrender?"
"Since we are officials of the Holy Alliance, there is no reason to surrender without a fight!" The general said in a deep voice.
Chang Xiao nodded in agreement, understanding what the commander-in-chief meant.
Qin Tian also understood that the commander-in-chief meant to fight, and surrender if he couldn't win.
"Pass on my order, open the city defense formation, set up the city defense cannon!"
The next moment, Chang Xiao ordered loudly. The city defense formation is usually not opened because it consumes too much energy, but now that the enemy has reached the city wall, there is no time to care about energy consumption.
As for the energy cannon, it is a special weapon that uses holy crystals as energy. One shot consumes 100 holy crystals, which is equivalent to 10,000 holy coins. Its power is comparable to the full force of a mid-stage saint.
There are 108 city defense cannons in the entire Dongze Mansion.
When he saw the city defense formation rise, Ren Gang's face was a little ugly: "You really don't know how to live or die!"
Then, he raised his hand and waved it heavily: "Attack the city!"
Suddenly, 30,000 troops rushed forward.
"City defense cannon, fire!"
The commander-in-chief shouted in a deep voice.
Suddenly, 100 city defense cannons sprayed 108 beams of light towards the 30,000 troops below.
"Boom boom boom boom!"
The roars continued, and beams of energy light exploded in the army, instantly blasting thousands of troops into pieces.
However, these troops were indeed very elite.
Many people avoided them in advance, and the city defense cannons had to be reloaded with holy crystals after each shot.
When reloading the holy crystals, it was enough for the remaining troops to rush to the bottom of the city wall.
Then these troops quickly formed a joint attack formation with a formation of thousands of people, and frantically attacked the city defense formation.
"Archers, shoot!"
The commander-in-chief ordered calmly.
Suddenly, tens of thousands of archers drew their bows and shot arrows downwards.
But the troops below had already formed a formation, with amazing defense, and the bows and arrows had little effect. Instead, the city defense formation was shining continuously under their attack.
"Saints, attack!"
The commander-in-chief looked at the other three saints, and suddenly drew out his long sword and slashed down.
The fiery red sword energy penetrated the city defense formation and hit the formation constructed by a thousand-man team.
"Puff!"
The opponent's formation collapsed in less than half a second, and then the sword energy exploded, swallowing up all the thousand enemy soldiers.
The other three saints attacked one after another.
They also smashed a formation and strangled the enemy soldiers that formed the formation.
However, although those bodies were smashed, they did not die, and they would soon be able to re-condense their bodies, but their strength would be reduced.
Similarly, the thousands of enemy soldiers whose bodies were smashed by the energy cannon before also re-condensed their bodies and withdrew from the battlefield.
"Merge!"
At this moment, the formations of the two thousand-man teams were completely merged together.
For a while, the remaining thousand-man team formations merged with each other.
After fusion, they have stronger attack power and higher defense power.
Although the commander-in-chief still smashed and strangled the fused thousand-man team, the other three saints failed to do so.
"Face together again!"
The remaining ten thousand-man teams merged again, becoming four thousand people in each formation.
"Kill!"
The commander-in-chief slashed five swords in succession, bombarding the enemy's defense formation.
But this time, he failed to smash it, and the sword energy he slashed was actually shattered.
"What a powerful formation!"
The commander-in-chief was secretly shocked.
The five thousand-man teams ignored the commander-in-chief, but attacked the city defense formation frantically. For a time, the city defense formation shook violently.
Qin Tian, standing behind the commander-in-chief, considered whether to use the temple.
But in the end, he gave up the idea.
Because Dongze Mansion is just an isolated city, without reinforcements, even if it can resist for a while, it can't resist forever. Once too many troops of the Ninth Prince are involved, it may completely anger the other party, and then the ordinary creatures in Dongze Mansion will be unlucky.
In fact, Palace Master Chang Xiao could also destroy the five thousand-man teams.
But he did not make a move.
Because he knew it was useless. Even if he could defeat these 30,000 people, there were still 270,000 people behind.
The attitude has been shown, so there is no need to hold on.
Sure enough, under Chang Xiao's indulgence, the city defense formation shook more and more violently, and finally collapsed completely.
"Good!"
Ren Gang smiled with satisfaction, waved his hand again, and another 70,000 troops came out and rushed towards the city wall.
"Go!"
The enemy troops rushed to the top of the city one by one.
The city guards were hacked to death, and the enemy killed the city guards who resisted. For a while, the whole city was in chaos, and as time went by, more and more enemy troops attacked the city.
The casualties of the city guards were getting higher and higher.
Qin Tian did not take the initiative to join the battle, because the result was already determined, and the enemy was not too excessive. After the strangled city guards re-condensed their bodies, as long as they chose to withdraw from the battlefield, they would not attack and chase.
This is not a national war, nor a race war.
It is just a civil war, and there is no deep hatred between the two sides, so there is no need to fight to the death.
An hour later.
Almost 50,000 city guards died once, and the enemy, including those killed by energy artillery before, only died more than 10,000 people, which shows how big the gap between the two sides is.
"General Ren Gang, withdraw your troops, my Dongze Mansion is willing to surrender!"
Chang Xiao said helplessly.
"Mr. Chang, you made a wise choice!"
Ren Gang laughed.
After the city guards gave up resistance, 300,000 troops entered the city and took over the entire city.
However, Ren Gang gave Chang Xiao some face and still let him live in Fuzun Mansion.
As for all the city guards, they were confined to the barracks, and there were 10,000 troops guarding outside the barracks.
If there were no accidents, the city guards would be reorganized.
Sure enough, a few hours later.
A saintly general under Ren Gang led his men to arrive.
He first expelled more than 60,000 ordinary city guards who had not reached immortal perfection.
Then, he gathered the rest of the people.
The next moment, the general began to lecture: "I am Chen Liu, under the command of the Ninth Prince. In the future, you will also become under the command of the Ninth Prince. However, now, I can give you a choice. If you are willing to stay, your military pay will be increased by 10%. If you don't want to stay, you can take off your armor and leave!" (To be continued)
