The air seemed to freeze, leaving only the heavy footsteps on the suspension bridge and Yinxuan's suppressed sobs.
One step, two steps... the five people escorted Yin Xuan and finally stepped into the shadow of the city gate!
Just when Yinxuan's body completely passed through the crack of the door and entered the city!
"Get started!"
Zhang Zhongfang’s roar was like thunder!
"Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!" Several powerful crossbows shot out from behind the parapet on the city wall, shooting with incredible precision at the rebel general who was escorting Yin Xuan and the two soldiers beside him!
With a few puffs, blood splattered!
The warrior looked down at the arrow on his chest in disbelief and fell to the ground with a bang!
Almost at the same time!
"kill!!!"
The deafening shouts of killing erupted from the soldier caves on both sides of the city gate corridor!
Dozens of elite soldiers from Xijing who had been lying in ambush for a long time rushed down the mountain like tigers, brandishing spears and swords, and instantly overwhelmed the remaining two escorting rebels!
Swords flashed and blood and flesh flew everywhere!
"Your Highness! Get down!"
A general of the defending army was quick-witted and pushed the frightened Yin Xuan to the ground, protecting him with his own body.
"Yang Yan, you bastard! You've fallen into my trap!"
Zhang Zhongfang, standing on the top of the city wall, with his hair and beard standing on end, roared angrily, "Shoot! Roll logs and rocks! Smash them down!"
"Shoot!"
"put!"
Buzz——!
Hundreds of archers on the city wall who had been ready to fire released their bows at the same time!
Arrows as dense as locusts, with a shrill sound of breaking through the air, poured down like a black rainstorm towards the elite rebels crowded on the drawbridge and river bank outside the city gate!
"Raise your shield!"
Yang Yan's eyes were bloodshot and he roared wildly!
He never expected that Zhang Zhongfang would be so decisive and ruthless that he would use the prince as bait and take such a risky move!
Puff puff puff!
The sound of arrows hitting flesh, shields breaking, and screams suddenly filled the air!
Although the elite rebels were brave, they were caught off guard and squeezed into the narrow suspension bridge and river bank area, causing their formation to be in chaos!
Dozens of people fell in the first wave of arrows!
"mean!"
Yang Yan was so angry that he almost vomited blood. His carefully planned surprise attack was abruptly interrupted by the opponent in such a way that was almost a mutual destruction!
Looking at the heavy door panels that were being desperately pushed back together by the defenders through the gap in the city gate, and the rain of death pouring down from the top of the city wall, he knew that the hope of breaking through the gate by force was extremely slim!
Prince Yinxuan of Han fell completely into the hands of the other party!
"Retreat! Retreat quickly!"
Yang Yan made a prompt decision and gave the order in a hoarse voice.
If he continues to waste time, his three thousand elite troops will be nailed to death under the city of Xijing!
The elite rebels were in a desperate situation, holding up their broken shields, fighting and retreating in the rain of arrows, leaving behind hundreds of corpses, and hastily retreating to the safe area outside the moat.
Yang Yan looked at the tightly closed city gates and the defenders on the city walls who were on high alert, his eyes so sinister that black water could drip out.
The surprise attack on Xijing failed at the last moment!
