Chapter 7: Abandonment

The sun rises and the stars disappear, and the night disappears.

A Qin army sentry woke up in the early morning and got out of the camp tent, he took vegetable soup with minced meat from the hot cauldron on the stove not far from the camp tent, broke a few pieces of dry buns, and had a beautiful and full meal.

When he climbed up the arrow tower and took over the sentry in front of him to look at Apocalypse City, there was even a hint of sympathy in his somewhat satisfied eyes.

Tianqi City is one of the important border cities of the Great Chu Dynasty on the border of Yinshan, but when the 200,000 army led by Sima Cuo slowly advanced, several elite cavalry under the Lianbo seat raided repeatedly, which had cut off the connection between Tianqi City and the rest of the Great Chu border cities.

Now the Apocalypse City has completely turned into a lonely city surrounded by groups, and even many Qin troops have called this city "Heavenly Abandoned City" when they were joking.

The Chu army was crushed and retreated, and this border city seemed destined to be abandoned.

After being besieged for many days, the Chu army in this border city suffered heavy casualties, and not only food and grass, but also water sources should be close to cutting off.

The military strength of the Great Qin Dynasty today is completely different from the past, not only in the number of cultivators in the army, but also in the food, which can make ordinary Qin soldiers have obvious feelings.

Thinking that he could even eat so rich for the first meal in the morning, and the Chu people in the devastated border city were afraid that they could only use bark and grass roots to feed their stomachs, this Qin army sentry unconsciously felt a little sympathetic.

It's just that even so, the Chu army in this abandoned border city is still tenacious to the extreme.

In the past few days, the Qin army, which is three times the size of this border city, has launched more than ten fierce attacks, and even some powerful cultivators have entered the streets and alleys of the city, but relying on some talismans, the Chu army inside, or the Chu people, still held the city.

Because of this thought, a trace of sympathy in the eyes of this Qin army sentry disappeared, and it just turned solemn, but in the next moment, his face suddenly stiffened, and his eyes were full of shock.

In the distance, there were many strange reflections and fumes on the horizon.

Some golden reflections and columns of smoke were the means of communication of the Qin army, which should have come from some of the vanguard of the Qin army.

And more reflections come from armor and blades, as well as the light and flames refracted when the talisman condenses the vitality of heaven and earth!

The black-pressed cavalry began to flood his gaze.

At least tens of thousands of elves rode like a tidal wave towards this border city.

With the help of a talisman on the corner tower that can improve his eyesight, this Qin army sentry saw that after the tens of thousands of Chu army elite horses, there was an almost endless chariot.

He was even more struck by the fact that many of the chariots were trailing extremely rare large talismans behind them, standing like hills, or moving on the ground like ships and palaces.

The duty of a sentry like him is naturally to detect the enemy's traces and warn at the first time, but now he is no longer needed to warn, because he is not a sentry at the forefront, and the most important thing is that the golden reflection and wolf smoke that surged in the distance before have clearly informed all the Qin troops here that this is not a small-scale Chu army, but a real army!

The height of the corner towers in the border city of Apocalypse City naturally far exceeded the arrow towers temporarily built by the Qin army, and the Chu army above could see it more clearly than these Qin troops.

At this moment, looking at these own armies that seemed to spread all over the heavens and the earth, especially when they saw the seven metal statues that were six feet high, these Chu troops couldn't help but fall into a deep shock.

These tall metal statues are in the form of celestial maidens, bronze carcass, and all of them are densely packed with royal blue lines.

Underneath each of these metal statues were nine chariots, each of which housed several practitioners, each of whom held a short stick-shaped bronze talisman.

This is the strongest talisman of the Chu army known to the world, "Feitian", each such talisman needs to be activated by nine cultivators of the Six Realms, and each blow is much more powerful than the ordinary Seven Realms.

There are only sixteen such talismans in total, and they all only exist in the main army of the Great Chu Dynasty.

So this is not a strategic counteroffensive, but a decisive battle of the army with a frenzied atmosphere!

Looking down from the sky, Apocalypse City was already a nail in the Qin army's front.

Most of the Qin army is Xuanyi Xuanjia, a black ocean, while the Chu army on the other side is mostly green armor, like a river of spring water.

In the wasteland far away from Apocalypse City, where many pillars of light were shining and many wolf smoke were ignited, the vanguard of the Qin army had already started a battle with the vanguard of the Chu army.

Countless arrows and talismans flew through the air, with splinters of flesh and flesh and metal.

The apparently ill-prepared Qin army retreated in the frantic attack of the Chu army.

In the sand table of the barracks tent in the Qin army, Apocalypse City was only a slightly larger banner.

The large camp, which seemed a little empty in the past, was almost full of high-ranking generals and strategists of the Qin army at this time, waiting for the order of Sima Cuo, whose face was sinking like water.

Sima Cuo's gaze swept over many places, and he easily pulled up many flags, and finally his gaze stopped on Apocalypse City.

"Before dark, I want our Chinese military tent to move to this city. ”

Then he gave the order, which had been silent for a long time.

A Qin general's breath was sudden, he had followed Sima Cuo for many years, so he knew very well that Sima Cuo's order meant that those troops facing the nearly 300,000 Chu army would put up a desperate resistance, while their rear army would press in on all fronts and break through Apocalypse City before dark.

"Why?"

Although it was impossible to disobey Sima Cuo's military order, he still couldn't help but ask.

"The Chu army is short of military rations, so it is like a madman rushing forward, and it is even more impossible for the follow-up supplies of grain, grass and talismans to keep up. ”

Sima Cuo raised his head, glanced at him coldly, and then said: "But we didn't expect Tang Mo to dare to do this, as long as the Chu army is like a bamboo, and the battle is victorious along the way, our grain, grass and talismans will become their supply." In its current form, we are already in a losing position, and only if we can contain the advance of the Chu army, can the armies elsewhere have time to dispatch, otherwise they will be defeated by his superior military strength. Apocalypse City is the most defensible place in this hundred miles. You should know what this Apocalypse City is relying on to resist our army. As long as we break through Apocalypse City before dark, we will be able to deploy defenses in Apocalypse City and contain the Chu army's attack. Those armies along the way would naturally be annihilated by the Chu army, but compared to the only chance of victory, this sacrifice was worth it. ”

Sima Cuo only taught Fusu alone, he would have more words, and he rarely spoke when arranging the battle situation and facing his subordinates on weekdays, and his abnormality at this time also made all the Qin generals in this camp understand, even if Sima Cuo... It was already extremely tense.

"I'll go. ”

A long-haired, shawl-haired, military-looking cultivator spoke from a corner of the tent.

He was also wearing a dark robe, but the collar was extremely high, and the shadow obscured his face.

As he spoke, a gloomy and cold aura suddenly surged up in many dark corners of the tent, and many black flowers grew for no reason, causing some Seven Realm cultivators in the tent who didn't know him to shrink their pupils unconsciously.

Sima Cuo didn't look at him, just nodded and said, "There is Mr. Lao." ”
