Chapter 217 Entering the Imperial City
Outside the palace, under the Chengtian Gate, the decisive battle between Wu Yandao, Tianyin Sect, etc., which represented the forces of the Jianghu, and the Daqian Dynasty, an official force, finally began.
The entire Daqian Dynasty, except for the Daomen and Taiping Dao who were unable to participate, and the aristocratic families that were severely damaged by backstabbing, almost all the forces have come out in full force. It can be said that they are completely ignoring the cost, just to wipe out the last afterglow of it in one fell swoop. .
As for the Daqian Dynasty, the old emperor, for some reason, also worked hard.
He mobilized all the elite soldiers and generals within his sphere of influence and gathered them together for a head-on confrontation.
In fact, if these two parties fight together regardless of the cost, it is easy for both parties to lose.
But one side felt that it was sure of victory, and the other side had other plans, so neither side retreated, and instead went straight to a head-on fight.
So for a while, the battle was extremely fierce.
At Chengtianmen, a large number of officers and soldiers pushed one ballistae after another.
The sharp arrowheads glowed coldly in the moonlight.
There were officers shouting and shouting here and there.
"Place the crossbow...calibrate...fire!"
"shoot!"
In an instant, a rain of arrows filled the sky, illuminated by firelight, and flooded the spacious sky in the square.
Puff puff puff!
The zombies rushing at the front were directly pierced by sharp arrows, and dark red blood spurted out. But the unique thing was that they did not fall down, but continued to move forward with expressionless faces.
The tens of thousands of people responsible for the interception saw a commotion when they saw this queue. After all, facing a group of strange moving corpses, any mortal would feel horrified.
But under the watchful eye of the supervising team from the rear, and after beheading several more people, the army had to bite the bullet and move forward.
After killing the deserters one after another, the army finally stabilized its position, raised its shields, and faced the rushing corpses with spears like a forest.
Although these corpses were fearless and fearless, they were unable to break through the thick shields. They would still bleed when stabbed with a spear, but it was just difficult to kill them without hitting a few vital points.
However, under the powerful weapons such as catapults and eight-bow crossbows, the tide of corpses rushing in front were directly penetrated and exploded by the huge force, turning into broken limbs and corpses, and they could no longer move.
Just like that, under the continuous rain of arrows and the blockade of the army, the surging tide of corpses was stopped abruptly!
But facing this scene, after the corpse wave, people from all major forces gathered together, with no emotion on their faces.
"This is all the means of the Daqian royal family? A large army surrounded and killed us. Do you really think that we can still be killed by mass gathering?" the head of the Wuzong said expressionlessly.
"Jiejie, after all, I have had a successful experience, it might not be wrong to imitate it again." Master Wuyan sneered, glanced at the master of Wuzong, and said, "But I think that the other party may not really want to follow We are going head-to-head, but we want to delay time through these people. There may be some conspiracy behind it, we must not ignore it!"
"You mean, we just abandon the confrontation with the army, force our way into the palace, and capture the thief first?" the Tianyin Sect's founder said with a frown.
"That's what I mean. The other party's people are obviously here to buy time, so why should they follow the other party's wishes? Why not just ride the giant eagle into the palace and kill the emperor's son in one fell swoop!" The Northern Man suggested. .
"I agree. It's not a solution to waste time now. It's better to capture the king directly." At this time, Xu Yue on the side said slowly, "Anyway, for people like us, great power belongs to ourselves, and the zombie army It doesn’t matter whether you can get in or not!”
The head of Wuzong and others were silent for a moment, then nodded.
They directly handed over the control of the corpse tide to their disciples, and then took the giant eagle and rushed straight into the imperial city!
"No, what do these thieves want?!" The old eunuch who was responsible for the defense of Chengtianmen saw this and his eyes were split.
If these people were let in and disturbed the old emperor, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to escape death penalty even if he defended this place!
"Let go of the arrow and shoot it down for me!"
The next moment, a dense rain of arrows pierced the sky and rushed towards the giant eagle in the sky!
"act recklessly!"
The northern barbarian man on the eagle's back sneered when he saw this, and pulled out an extremely black feather arrow with no luster at all from behind.
Then, the veins on his hands popped out, and he squatted with his hips in his arms, his bow like a full moon, and the aura on his body climbed higher and higher, swallowing up the air and everything nearby.
"puff!"
In the next moment, his whole body seemed to flash through an afterimage. It was impossible to see how he opened the long bow, nor how the dark arrow flew out.
However, at this moment, all the officers and soldiers on the city wall felt that a disaster was imminent!
Immediately afterwards, there was a loud noise that shook the earth, and the whole earth seemed to shake violently!
I saw the officers and soldiers under a city wall suddenly turned into powder, and even a section of the city wall that was several meters collapsed.
But this is just the beginning of the disaster!
Because the others, at this moment, also took action.
The leader of the Tianyin Sect fiercely pulled out the guqin in his hand, and sound waves were transmitted immediately. On the city wall, the officers and soldiers responsible for operating the catapults and eight-bow crossbows fell down directly, and blood flowed from their seven orifices.
The people from the Gu tribe in Miao Jiang directly scattered poison pills downwards. Suddenly, poisonous smoke filled the air, and a large number of officers and soldiers fell down foaming at the mouth.
And Xu Yue's whole body was filled with Qi, which turned into a giant hand of 100 meters. He pressed down fiercely, not only pressing out fleshy flesh all over the ground, but also forcibly pressing down the city gate!
Having practiced the method of inner alchemy, their combat power is no longer comparable to that of mortals. Even the army formed by the way of gathering people cannot resist them!
With just such a move, the originally evenly matched situation was immediately broken, and the tide of corpses swarmed in, constantly biting the officers and soldiers who were fleeing in a hurry!
Easily breaking through the army's defense, the leader of all forces, did not pay attention to the chaotic situation under his feet, but directly flew into the palace on the giant eagle.
But when they saw the situation in the palace clearly, their eyes could not help but condense.
Corpses! Corpses everywhere!
Suicides, homicides, tragic deaths, dismemberment... eunuchs, maids, ministers, officials, etc., all died in this palace!
"Is this old thing crazy?!" The leader of Tianyin Sect looked at the scene with an expression of unstoppable surprise.
"If God wants to destroy him, he must first make him crazy! We don't need to worry about so much. We found the old thing and went together to kill him!" Xu Yue's face was as cold as iron.
Soon, everyone locked the location directly and came to the sky above the only brightly lit hall in the palace.
But as soon as they flew here and landed the giant eagle, the scene in front of them made everyone stunned.
Because they saw a middle-aged man in a yellow robe reaching into the body of a eunuch with a strong breath, taking out a heart from it, and then biting it off!
This, this is... eating, eating people, or eating, their own people? !
