Fortunately, the Yulin Guards were only loyal to the empress and only recognized the tiger talisman, not the person. Except for dozens of Xu Lin's confidants, the two thousand Yulin Guards all obeyed Yue Xi's orders.
At this time, Qin's elite troops rushed over and Zhao was at a disadvantage as soon as the battle started. The Qin general was King Wu of Qin, the younger brother of the Qin Emperor, and his cultivation was even higher than Yue Xi.
At this time, King Donglin also led his troops out of the city. Yue Xi saw that the enemy was powerful, so he ordered a retreat and personally covered the rear.
She was besieged by three great Jindan masters, King Qin Wu, King Donglin and Xu Lin, but she was still able to escape unscathed. The magical equipment played a big role.
The divine equipment attributes make it immune to 90% of the damage, but the 10% damage from the Golden Core Master is also formidable. Yue Xi finally escaped with injuries, and after escaping into Xia Nan City, he activated the city defense formation.
Xia Nan City is the territory of Prince Anxi. The attitude of Prince Anxi is intriguing. It is said that Prince Donglin asked him to form an alliance, and he agreed, which led to the incident of Prince Donglin's sneak attack on various cities in Yuexi County.
Later, when the news came that the empress had recovered from her illness, Prince Anxi immediately severed his ties with Prince Donglin, saying that he had no intention of rebelling against the State of Zhao.
Now the Qin army is approaching and has entered his territory, but the Prince of Anxi chooses to pretend to be blind. Even when Yuexi sends people to ask for help, he remains inactive.
Obviously, this is a fence-sitter who will not make a choice until the outcome of the war is clear.
In terms of cultivation, the Empress of Zhao is stronger than the Emperor of Qin. Originally, the strength of Zhao was also stronger than that of Qin. However, the variable at this time was the rebellion of King Donglin and the commander-in-chief of the imperial guards Xu Lin, which made the battle situation confusing and it was hard to say who would win or lose.
Yuexi led his troops to retreat to Xia Nan City. The lord of Xia Nan City, Nan Tianfang, was a close confidant of King Anxi and was very cooperative in using the city for defense.
"Don't worry, Prince Yuexi. The city defense formation has been activated. Although the enemy is powerful, it won't be easy to break through Xianan City."
Yue Xi personally inspected the center of the formation and said, "Thank you, Lord Nancheng, but Prince Anxi hasn't responded yet, which is very worrying! Now that the Empress has recovered from her illness, Prince Anxi is probably not planning to commit treason!"
Nan Tianfang wiped his forehead and said, "No, absolutely not. Our king had some problems with his cultivation and has been in seclusion! He probably didn't receive the sound transmission note from the prince."
Yue Xi said, "That would be best. By the way, City Lord Nan doesn't have to worry about defending the core of the formation here. I will send a large number of troops to defend it."
Nan Tianfang said: "There are no outsiders in Xia Nan City. The prince can use all his strength to defend the city. There is no need for heavy defense here."
Yue Xi said with a joking smile, "I'm not on guard against outsiders, but the traitors inside."
Nan Tianfang wiped his forehead again and said awkwardly, "Ever since the commander-in-chief of the Imperial Guard betrayed him, the prince has been a bit paranoid. Here, there are only comrades who share the same hatred and enemy, no traitors."
Yuexi said, "That's better."
"Report..." The soldier guarding the city wall ran over and shouted, "The Qin army is preparing to attack the city."
Yue Xi nodded to indicate that she understood, and said to Nan Tianfang: "Lord Nan, please join me in resisting the enemy."
Nan Tianfang felt a little weak in the knees, but he had to say, "Yes, sir."
Outside the city of Xia Nan, the Qin army was a massive mass of one hundred thousand men. King Donglin and Xu Lin followed a general in armor, who was none other than King Wu of Qin, the younger brother of the Qin Emperor.
King Donglin and Xu Lin said flatteringly, "Yuexi has nowhere to escape. As long as we capture this city, Your Highness King Wu will be able to capture her alive."
King Wu of Qin said, "The defense formation of Xianan City has been activated. How long do you think it will take us to break through?"
King Donglin said, "We have a hundred thousand soldiers. As long as every soldier can deal damage, we can break the formation in a snap."
Xu Lin said, "Prince Yuexi is not a weakling. I'm afraid he won't provide a good environment for our soldiers to attack."
King Wu of Qin nodded and said, "Indeed, the output environment is crucial. I'm afraid there will be a fierce battle next."
King Donglin said, "I have already sent a sound transmission note to King Anxi. This fence-sitter is quite sensible. When he learns that the Emperor Qin has obtained the inheritance of the Dark Night and Dark Sky Elder, he will definitely rebel against the State of Zhao and raise an army to help us."
King Wu of Qin nodded and said, "It would be best if we did so. Otherwise, after we take Yuexi, Anxi County will be the next one to be destroyed."
As they were talking, the Qin soldiers arranged themselves into battle formations and prepared to attack.
The effective attack distance is approximately the range of one arrow. If you want to break the formation quickly, you have to attack one point. If you disperse the attack, the effect will not be good, so start calculating from that attack point, and the area within the range of one arrow is the output environment.
The initiative of the attack was in the hands of King Wu of Qin, and he had two options at this time.
One is that one hundred thousand soldiers rush forward at once. After entering the output environment, each person only needs to cast a spell to break the formation. However, once they enter the output environment, they will be exposed to the effective attack range of the defenders. Even if the formation can be broken, the casualties will be huge.
The second plan is the one Yuexi used to attack Piaomiao City before, which was to advance layer by layer with the help of shield soldiers. This was the plan used by King Wu of Qin.
"Shields raised, first column, forward."
Following the order from King Wu of Qin, all the soldiers in the first row of the Qin army, holding large shields taller than themselves, stepped forward step by step.
On the top of Xia Nan City, Yue Xi was wearing a stewardess uniform. When Chen Dabing sold this uniform to her, it was a bit of a bad taste. In fact, at this time, Prince Yue Xi was indeed very sexy and had a certain charm, which was not suitable for the war scene at this time.
However, Prince Yuexi had a kingly aura about her, and neither the Zhao soldiers nor the Qin soldiers present dared to look at her in that way.
"A team attacks."
At the command, all kinds of spells flew out like crazy, including big fireballs, small fireballs, ice cones, and wind blades.
At the same time, various spells flew towards this side.
The sound of "boom" was heard continuously, which was the sound of the light curtain barrier being attacked.
There was a continuous "clang" sound, which was the sound of spells hitting the shield.
Anyway, the sound continued, and the attackers' spells were all blocked by the light curtain barrier of the city defense formation.
The defenders' spells collided with the shields, some of which directly knocked the shield bearers into the sky, some just took a step back, and some did not move at all. This was naturally a manifestation of the different levels of skill they had.
The spells cast by the foundation-building masters hit the shields of the Qi-cultivating cultivators. Even though the shields blocked most of the damage, they still couldn't withstand it and were knocked away directly. Some even vomited blood and died.
The Qin army attacking the city began to suffer casualties, but they were not unnecessary casualties. Even if the soldiers in the first column of the Qin army were knocked away, they had already dealt a round of damage. Those with high skills could still continue to deal damage.
King Wu of Qin ordered: "Medical team, rescue people, second column, move forward."
Yue Xi commanded: "Team one, retreat to recover your spiritual energy, team two, attack."
