C370 Siege of the city again

The entire Army of Chu rested for five days. Five days later, Ye Jiaze led fifty thousand Army of Chu to attack the Jiang Zhou City.

Ye Jiaze had already understood the meaning behind Gongsun Heng's words before he left. Even if the Jiang Zhou City was easy to defend and hard to attack, with fifty thousand Army of Chu attacking the city with all their might, they would definitely be able to break through the Jiang Zhou City.

Xie Qingrong and Shen Haoxuan stood on top of the city gate tower. From afar, they could see a patch of yellow sand that had filled the sky, seemingly caused by the trampling of horses' hooves.

From the single hole in the mirror, he could see that the person in the lead was actually Ye Jiaze, and behind him was a large group of Army of Chu, all of them heading towards the Jiang Zhou City in an orderly fashion.

Xie Qingrong was well-versed in the principle of letting one's energy flow in one go, then weakening it once more, and then being exhausted three times over.

However, just to be safe, he had no choice but to take precautions. Xie Qingrong had placed five hundred soldiers on each of the three other city towers to guard the city walls.

The other five thousand plus Army of Chu s were all on alert, waiting for the arrival of the Army of Chu on the main tower.

The wind and the sand were churning, the horses hooves were galloping.

Ye Jiaze's hand that was holding onto the reins moved slightly, the horse stopped its forward movement and raised its head slightly, looking straight at Xie Qingrong who was on top of the city gate tower.

Xie Qingrong's eyes were deep, like an ancient, dark well that couldn't be seen at all.

Ye Jiaze chuckled and said: "Crown Princess, after these past few days of probing, your garrison soldier must have been injured quite a bit. Why not open the city gates and let us enter the Jiang Prefecture. This way, I can still let you go, what do you think? "

Even if he knew that Xie Qingrong would not agree to her request, before she attacked, he still had to be disgusted by Xie Qingrong.

Unexpectedly, Xie Qingrong only frowned, but her mouth had a cold smile.

"The Lord Ye has betrayed the country. He has committed an unforgivable sin. Now you still want to use your words and actions to confuse I? You must think that I is really that stupid to fall into your trap. As for his polite words, he might as well keep them for later. "

Ye Jiaze held onto the reins tightly, the string of the reins leaving a faint imprint on his palm, but Ye Jiaze seemed to not know of it, the anger in his heart started to surge, as though he could spit fire at any time.

Who would have thought that at such a difficult moment, Xie Qingrong would still be unforgiving and unyielding.

In that case, don't blame him for not showing any face.

Ye Jiaze released one of his hands, gently waved it up, channeled his Qi, and shouted: "Attack the city!"

Hundreds and thousands of Army of Chu passed by Ye Jiaze and gradually left Ye Jiaze behind.

Some of the Army of Chu took a ladder and climbed up the city wall, some of them holding thick and sturdy big trees, while some of them used their bows and shot arrows at the thick and heavy gate in the middle of the city wall.

Although Xie Qingrong did not give any orders to protect the city gate tower, all the soldiers automatically guarded the openings that could easily be broken through.

Shen Haoxuan looked at the Army of Chu below the city gate tower, his eyebrows knitted together slightly, a strange feeling churning in his heart, he felt that something was wrong.

He held his breath as he observed with rapt attention. Finally, he discovered that something was amiss.

Immediately, Xie Qingrong was reported, there was a trace of anxiousness in her voice, "Crown Princess, the number of Army of Chu s seems to have increased. That day, when the Army of Chu was completely finished, there were not even that many people who joined. I'm afraid that Gongsun Heng has sent reinforcements to support Ye Jiaze. "

If that was really the case, the Jiang Zhou City's current situation was not good.

There were only ten thousand garrison soldier left in the first place, but only seven thousand remained of their forces, some one or two thousand had dispersed, and only five thousand remained of the main city gate tower. Five thousand garrison soldier s against thirty thousand over elite Army of Chu s, I am afraid that Jiang Zhou City will not be able to protect them.

Hearing that, Xie Qingrong frowned slightly, and swept her eyes across in the direction of the Army of Chu. Looking at the large field of Army of Chu, he estimated the number of Army of Chu s in his heart.

With a heavy tone, he said, "Army of Chu has increased by at least twenty thousand soldiers and horses."

Five thousand against fifty thousand, ten times the difference.

Things were not going well.

The carefree look on Shen Haoxuan's face had long since disappeared, and upon hearing Xie Qingrong's estimation of the Army of Chu, she started to panic a little. He looked back and realized that they were millions of Heavenly Saints.

If the Jiang Zhou City was broken through, millions of citizens would become its prisoners of war and the Jiang Zhou City would become hell.

"What should we do?" As matters stood, Shen Haoxuan could only place his hopes on the reinforcements that were rushing over. Only, he knew in his heart the final outcome of this war.

Xie Qingrong's hands slightly tightened into fists, and said solemnly: "There's nothing we can do, we have to endure it. If you want to enter the Jiang Zhou City, you have to cross over my dead body. "

Shen Haoxuan nodded his head heavily, vowing to protect the Jiang Zhou City.

"Haoxuan, do you know how long it will take for reinforcements to reach Jiang Prefecture?" Xie Qingrong asked softly, even though she knew clearly in her heart that reinforcements would probably never arrive.

"At least five days, at most seven days. However, if Army of Chu follows this offense, she will only be able to hold on for three days at the most. Shen Haoxuan spoke each word, revealing all the analysis in his heart.

Xie Qingrong closed her eyes, a look of resignation flowing across her beautiful face, and when she opened her eyes again, the firmness and resolution in her eyes was as dazzling as the sun and moon.

"Be careful!" Shen Haoxuan opened up his fan, blocking a sharp arrow that was flying towards him. The tip of the arrow almost pierced through the thin fan.

Xie Qingrong turned back to look and just happened to meet Ye Jiaze's provocative gaze. Xie Qingrong's eyes dimmed, and took the bow and arrows from the man beside him, drawing the bow and arrow, and looking straight at Ye Jiaze.

Ye Jiaze's second arrow had already left its bow, and was shooting straight at Xie Qingrong. Unexpectedly, it collided with the arrow that Xie Qingrong shot out in the air.

The two arrows were cut into two halves in midair, and then fell to the ground, losing their gravity.

Xie Qingrong slightly pursed her lips. Compared to Xie Qingrong's slightly dissatisfied expression, Ye Jiaze's expression was somewhat ugly. He was filled with confidence as she shot the arrow, but unexpectedly, it was snapped by Xie Qingrong's bow and arrow.

With a "teng" sound in his mind, his anger rose and he nocked three bows and arrows onto the bowstring. He mustered his strength and shot it towards Xie Qingrong.

The three arrows carried with it the power of thunder and lightning, and the coldness and killing intent contained within the arrows continued to attack Xie Qingrong.

However, Xie Qingrong only leaned back slightly, and made a movement of leaning back and bent down, the three arrows shot out into the air, striking the other side of the city wall behind him.

Seeing that Ye Jiaze's attention was completely attracted to Xie Qingrong, Shen Haoxuan plotted a plan in his heart. He called out the Azure Dragon White Tiger and the fifty secret guards, and half squatted as he instructed, "The ten of you stay behind to protect the wangfei. The rest of you take a detour with me, go around behind the Army of Chu, and kill them without any warning."

The green dragon, however, disagreed with Shen Haoxuan's plan. He frowned: "I already used this plan the last time, I'm afraid the Army of Chu is already prepared."
