Chapter 85: What is there to fear with a thousand troops and ten thousand horses? (Second update)
"Go!" Ziqi shouted loudly, summoning the Golden Lion King and riding it towards the city gate.
On the city wall, the battle was extremely fierce, with tens of thousands of barbarian troops surging towards the city head like a tide, their roars shaking the sky.
Fortunately, Qi Bei recruited tens of thousands of city guards, although they hadn't been trained for a few days, but they were all desperate people, and their bravery didn't need to be said.
With the addition of Xingchen and Huolang's people, they were able to withstand several waves of attacks from the Beastman army.
"Die!" A massive golden light burst out as Qi Bei's black longsword slashed down, cutting over a dozen beastman soldiers who had just climbed onto the city wall in two.
"Your Lordship!" The Iron-headed General, who was in command, hastily saluted.
"Alright, no more nonsense. What's going on?" Qi Bei looked down at the fearless beastman army below, his brow furrowed in concern.
"I don't know either, this beastman army suddenly appeared outside the city, then the city guard sounded the alarm, who knew these bastards were coming for us." Tie Tou spat out a mouthful of bloody water.
At this time, Huo Lang ran over with a huge wolf-toothed club and said to Qi Bei, "Master, if I'm not mistaken, this is the beastman army under the command of the Qiang Jiao Rhino tribe. This is just a remnant army, probably defeated in the war against the Bi Meng tribe, that's why they escaped here."
Zi Bei nodded, in the past, the Bimon tribe unified the entire beastman tribe and established the Beastman Empire. However, thirty years ago, the Bimon tribal emperor passed away, and his several sons fought for the throne, resulting in the Beastman Empire being torn apart.
The current Beastman Empire has three forces vying for the throne. The first is the third son of the former Emperor Bimon, who killed several brothers competing for the position and gathered loyal tribes, with hundreds of millions of beastmen under his command.
The second is the leader of the Unicorn Rhinoceros tribe, who was previously suppressed by the Beast Emperor and has been eager to move since the death of the Beast Emperor, taking advantage of the struggle for power among several brothers of Bimon, splitting out and wanting to establish a new Beast Empire.
The third is the Zijin Beast Tribe, also ambitious and eager to contend for the throne.
The husband and wife among the eight star generals of Xingchen, Lei Meng and his leopardman tribe's madam Xiya also walked over.
"Lord of the castle, Huo Lang is right. According to the beastman merchant group that entered the city for trade, the army of the Du Jiao Xi tribe is fighting against the Bi Meng tribe's army on the Emerald Prairie three thousand miles away. The commander of this beastman army is flying the flag of Shi Ren tribe leader Kelo, and the Shi Ren tribe is subordinate to the Du Jiao Xi tribe. It is highly likely that the Du Jiao Xi tribe's army lost in the Battle of Emerald Prairie, and this remnant army was chased by the Bi Meng army to this place."
To the west lies the border of the Golden Leaf Empire, where the Golden Leaf Empire has stationed a large number of troops. This remnant army did not want to go and die, so they set their sights on Xiling City. Xiling City is a city with high walls and complete military defense facilities. As long as the regular army occupies this place, it can play a huge role. And as long as they hold out until reinforcements arrive, they will be able to escape." The speaker was Leiming, a star general who usually feared his wife, speaking fluently and showing extraordinary insight.
At this time, in the beastman army account, the lion man leader Kro's face was extremely ugly, and a circle of lion hair on his neck exploded, which is a symbol of his extreme anger.
Bang
Ke Luo slammed the stone table in front of him into pieces, his voice hoarse with rage: "What's going on? A Western Spirit City without a regular army, a motley crew, and yet it still hasn't been taken down after three hours."
"Leader, the situation in Western Spirit City is unfavorable. There are hundreds of Black Armor Army guarding the city, and the enemy has many mages. We have suffered heavy losses." a lion-like humanoid general replied.
"What? The Black Armor Army? The invincible Black Armor Army of the Golden Leaf Empire?" Kuro's eyelids twitched.
"That's right, they're wearing the standard armor of the Black Iron Army and using standard magical weapons. Judging from their terrifying combat strength, it can't be fake, can it?" The lion-headed commander said.
Keruo fell into silence, and the Golden Leaf Empire had already given up control of Western Spirit City in substance. How could the Black Armor Army appear here?
But Ke Luo didn't think any further, for the Mongolian army was right behind them. If they couldn't break into Xiling City again, their 50,000-strong troops would be completely annihilated.
"Deploy the Winged Humanoid Squad, even if it's a suicidal attack, we must destroy their magical fortress. Sound the full-scale assault horn, we must take down this Western Spirit City." Cro roared.
"Yes, leader." The lion-like commander departed with his orders.
On the walls of Western Spirit City, a variety of colorful magic spells were cast from the two corner magic fortresses, reaping the lives of the beastman soldiers.
In the war, the lethality of magicians was extremely surprising, so even if they were primary magicians, they were the treasures of various countries, which is also the main reason why this profession is highly respected.
Zi Bei's face didn't look good, his treasured Black Armor Army had already suffered casualties, and every single one of them was his most cherished, to lose one was to lose a part of himself.
"Lord of the castle, look quickly, it's a winged people squad." Huo Lang said.
Winged people, one of the few tribes in the beastman tribe that can fly, and also the fastest and highest flying. They have sharp and strong double claws, and are very powerful in close combat. They are also good at using flying spears and bows and arrows, and can attack from a distance. They are the trump card troops of the beastman tribe, but their numbers are small. Unless it is an emergency, they generally do not move easily.
A large number of sharp flying spears shot towards the city head like rain, and a series of miserable cries came from below, more than 100 defending soldiers were pierced through.
The archers of Xiling City immediately counterattacked, but except for the Black Armor Army shooting down dozens of winged people, most of the other archers missed their targets because the winged people were extremely fast.
Just then, a winged person flew in front of the magic fortress, abandoned his flying spear, and used his strong and sharp claws to grab a magician, crushing his head on the spot.
"Drink!" A fierce flame flashed by, and Huo Lie's flames leapt up, beheading the winged man.
"They rushed towards the Magic Fortress in five or six teams, protecting the Magic Fortress." Huo Lie ordered the Black Armor Army to separate into three teams to protect the Magic Fortress.
Looking at the corpses on the city wall, Qi Bei's heart was bleeding. Xiling City couldn't take this anymore.
"Brother Jin, come quickly!" Qi Bei shouted loudly.
"Yes, young master." A golden fist shattered a beastman captain and leapt onto the Golden Lion King.
"Along with young master, I took the head of that beastman leader." Qi Bei loudly roared, and with a flicker of his mind, the Golden Lion King leapt down from the city wall, a sheet of golden blade light shooting out from its mouth, killing dozens of beastman soldiers at the landing point.
"My lord!" Fire Ironhead and others were shocked. If it weren't for the need to command on the city wall, they might have all jumped down with him too.
At another corner of the city wall, the smoke spirit, like the wind and drifting snow, opened its eyes wide and turned to look at Xing Zhuang who was sitting in a wheelchair behind it.
Murong Xingchen pursued the figure of Qi Bei, who was submerged in the beastman army. His hands, clad in black gloves, suddenly clenched into fists, and a layer of ash-gray mist appeared in his eyes, causing people's hearts to palpitate.
