Chapter 653 Are you scared now?
The more violent roars formed even more terrifying sound waves that continued to spread. The soldiers who were too close to Qiansui at the time lost focus on the spot, foamed at the mouth and fainted, and the same happened to the horses under them.
As the warhorse fell, Yan Sheng immediately fell to the ground, lying flat on his face. However, he did not even have the time to cry out in pain. He hurriedly crawled to the back, and his face was completely bloodless.
However, during this process, he did not forget to look back.
Qiansui stood up and instinctively roared, which repelled the enemies around him. However, he did not immediately take any follow-up actions. His body was obviously a little unstable, and he was shaking his head, as if he was not even conscious.
When Yan Sheng saw this, a look of joy suddenly appeared on his face.
[One more shot at this beast? No, no! Jie Liancheng is still here. If I use it again, the power of the mantra in my body won't be enough to save my life! ]
Thinking of this, Yan Sheng immediately changed his mind.
"All soldiers, listen up! That evil beast has been severely injured by my divine thunder! Take this opportunity to quickly surround and attack it. Anyone who successfully kills that evil beast will be rewarded with ten thousand taels of gold and be granted the title of Marquis of a Thousand Households!!"
There will always be brave men when there is a big reward! There is no shortage of people in this world who are willing to risk their lives for the sake of profit.
Qiansui's shaky figure did not seem fake, and coupled with the divine thunder from their Emperor Qin Shi Huang, it did boost morale. Upon receiving the order, the soldiers suppressed their fear and anxiety, and surrounded and killed them while waving their weapons.
Yan Sheng recruited another team of guards for himself and retreated while ensuring his own safety.
At the same time, this scene naturally fell into Zhou Xu's eyes.
After seeing with his own eyes that Qiansui was not dead, Zhou Xu breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly controlled Da Gu and Er Gu to rush forward to rescue Qiansui. The other armored dragon skeletons also cooperated and slowly pushed forward.
On the wall, Shi Lei saw this situation and immediately gave the order without Zhou Xu saying anything...
"Open the city gate! All troops attack!!"
The order was given, the gates of Huangsha City were opened, and the defenders in the city rushed out in full force.
The enemy's siege troops were in low morale, and they were aided by giant skeletons. If they didn't attack now, when would they? ! Upon receiving the order, the elven knights and centaurs, who were cavalry, rushed out first and charged straight into the enemy formation.
The five hundred soldiers led by Bai Tu were also in high spirits.
Although they had fought with the siege troops in the previous defensive battle, it was not a good fight after all. They had waited for this day for too long! "Brothers, revenge is today! Kill!!"
“Kill! Kill! Kill!!”
Although they only had 500 soldiers, the momentum they unleashed was quite astonishing as they were filled with hatred for the destruction of their country.
Watching this scene from afar, Yan Sheng couldn't help but reveal a look of misery.
In terms of military strength, he was not afraid of the enemy at all, but his soldiers had already lost their will to fight. Even if he used the truth again to boost morale, it would have little effect. There were even deserters on the battlefield. How could he fight? Thinking of this, Yan Sheng also had the intention to retreat. Then he swept his eyes and fell on Jie Liancheng who was riding over from a distance.
"Your Majesty's divine thunder really opened my eyes!"
After he showed off that skill, Jie Liancheng's attitude towards him became a little more respectful.
Hearing this flattery, Yan Sheng actually felt a little proud in his heart.
[You bastard, are you scared now? No matter how good you are at fighting, can you withstand the thunder and lightning?! Do you really think I can't deal with you? ]
However, before Yan Sheng could think more, Xie Liancheng immediately added a sentence.
"Your Majesty, I think that evil beast is about to die. Why don't you use another divine thunder on it? Once that evil beast dies, our army's morale will surely be greatly boosted. Then it will be easy for us to capture Huangsha City!"
Facing these words, Yan Sheng narrowed his eyes.
[This bastard, is he testing whether I can still make a move? ]
The thought flashed through his mind, but Yan Sheng simply ignored it.
"The siege towers are all destroyed this time. It will be difficult to capture Huangsha City. Call off the troops first and withdraw directly to Black Stone City to join me."
【Meet up with you? 】
Xie Liancheng's eyelids jumped when he heard this.
Before he could even open his mouth, Yan Sheng quickly spread out a beast skin scroll and spoke the mantra continuously.
In the blink of an eye, the circle drawn on the animal skin scroll quickly unfolded, and then there was a flash of light, and a living person disappeared out of thin air.
Xie Liancheng's heart skipped a beat when he saw this scene.
[Damn, this old Biden is really good at hiding. As soon as he saw that there might be a risk, he immediately teleported away. ]
Jie Liancheng has always known that Yan Sheng has a mantra with a teleportation effect, and this is one of the main reasons why he has never dared to act rashly.
After all, if he failed to kill him and let old Bidden be teleported away, his wife, children, and even himself would be in danger.
And now, he discovered that the other party actually had the ability to release lightning.
It would be a lie to say that he was not afraid. Although he was much stronger than before he traveled through time, even so, Jie Liancheng did not think he could withstand the lightning!
Suppressing the irritation and anger in his heart, Xie Liancheng let out a long breath and immediately gave the order...
"Sound the retreat!"
After saying this, Xie Liancheng did not intend to let his soldiers die, and he immediately began to gather his troops and prepare to retreat.
Even though he had recognized Zhou Xu, some things could not be done too obviously.
Yan Sheng was already quite suspicious of him. If he made things too obvious and let the other party notice, it would be troublesome.
Thinking of this, Xie Liancheng naturally had to strike a balance here.
But it was obviously impossible for the defenders of Huangsha City to let them go just like that, especially when the other side still had cavalry.
Even their cavalry couldn't outrun the enemy, let alone the infantry.
With no other choice, Xie Liancheng had to make a drastic decision and leave enough troops behind to tie down the opponent's pursuing forces, while he himself took the remaining troops and retreated to Black Stone City as quickly as possible.
On the Huangsha City side, their troops cannot keep chasing and killing them.
The current situation is due to the support of the giant skeleton beasts controlled by Qiansui and Zhou Xu, which have crushed the morale of the enemy and made the enemy troops lose their will to fight.
But now Qiansui has undoubtedly lost his ability to fight. As for the giant skeleton beast, the farther the distance is, the more effort it takes for him to control it. When the distance reaches a certain distance, his mantra will be forced to be lifted.
However, even if this point is left aside, the consumption of controlling so many skeleton beasts at the same time is also very huge. After confirming that the enemy force had retreated far away, Zhou Xu quickly lifted the mantra, then took a few deep breaths, and supported himself on the wall with both hands. He was able to barely stabilize his body and not collapse to the ground, but his overall condition was not much better.
