Chapter 189 Yang Mou

Not long after Xu Han arrived at the city wall, Lin Shouzhong and the others rushed over when they heard the news.

Everyone looked through the night at the dense crowd below the city wall and felt their scalps go numb.

Even Xu Han had never seen such a scene before.

Mu Ji was obviously a very outstanding general. Under his command, the enemy troops outside the city had launched an orderly charge, but the formations were aggressive, but there was no chaos at all. It was as if tens of thousands of soldiers had become one under his control.

"Guard the city gates. Archers in position!" Lin Shou was also a valiant general who had fought for many years. He immediately reacted and shouted loudly.

His soldiers had followed him for many years, and he had taught them well. Only now did he give such an order, and rows of archers took their positions. At the city gate, hundreds of sturdy soldiers pressed down on the city gate to prevent the gate from being broken by the enemy. Behind them, rows of knives and axes were also lined up to guard against unforeseen circumstances.

A great battle was about to break out.

The messenger shouted loudly. The cold sharp arrow flashed with a cold light, cutting through the night like a silver waterfall as it descended.

Blood light blossomed in the enemy troops outside the city, accompanied by heartbreaking cries of pain.

After an arrow was fired, the archer in the front row retreated, and the archer in the back row pulled the bow, full of strings, and loosened his fingers.

Pu!

Along with the muffled thunder formed by this soft sound, another streak of silver light descended.

The archers worked together perfectly, their sharp arrows pouring down one after another, and the connection between the two didn't stop at all.

Before the huge crowd could reach the city gate, thousands of corpses had already been left behind.

Then, while everyone was waiting, waiting for the Mu Ji army to launch an offensive that was like a tidal wave.

A dumbfounded scene occurred.

The vast army beneath the city tower retreated like a tide as they approached the city tower.

'"This" Xu Han's eyes widened as he watched all of this. Obviously, it was far beyond his expectations.

"You're leaving now?" Ye Hongjian, who was rushing over from the side, blinked her eyes, feeling that it was somewhat funny and somewhat inconceivable.

Everyone watched the army outside the city on full alert for a quarter of an hour. Only after confirming that the enemy had completely returned to the camp in the distance did they regain their senses.

Really retreated.

Xu Han frowned and looked at Lin Shou and the others beside him in confusion.

However, Lin Shou and Mr. Lu both had serious expressions on their faces at this moment, and they were extremely unsightly.

'"This Mu Ji" Mr. Lu's brows darkened.

"Sure enough." Lin Shou smiled bitterly.

Xu Han and the others were still confused. Just as they were about to ask, Zhou Zhang suddenly said.

'"Mu Ji is used to using tricks. He is certain that we do not dare to leave the city to fight. We can only defend the city. Thus, he pretended to attack the city with his soldiers, but retreated after we put on a posture. Such repeated attacks consume our will, but at the same time, we are unable to tell which is the real attack. As long as we slack off, we will probably fall into his trap."

Hearing this, Xu Han finally understood a little. However, he looked at the thousand corpses that had remained outside the pass forever and frowned. He was still a little puzzled. "However, didn't these thousands of lives be wasted here?"

Xu Han was not a sentimental person. After several years of being an Asura, he had long since looked down on the matter of death, especially the lives of those who had nothing to do with him or even the lives of enemies.

However, what puzzled him was that Mu Ji had given them thousands of lives without obtaining any harvest. This was what confused Xu Han.

"Of course he won't let go of the Mu Clan Army, but these …" Zhou Zhang's brows darkened. "He can naturally squander the soldiers of the Xia Kingdom at will. As for the harvest, you will soon know."

Hearing this, Xu Han was dumbfounded.

He suddenly had a deeper understanding of the two simple words'war '…

…

Early the next morning.

Xu Han clearly understood what Zhou Zhang was referring to.

In the early hours of the morning, Zhu Xian's army launched a second attack, and just now, they launched a third attack.

Just like the first time, it was all a feint.

Thousands of corpses were also left behind.

According to the statistics, three feigned attacks on Mu Ji had cost about 7,000 troops, but they did not pose any threat to the city gates of Big Yellow City.

However, the soldiers of Big Yellow City who hadn't slept all night were extremely tired.

Mu Ji's timing was very accurate. Almost always, when everyone was about to fall asleep or just fell asleep, he would launch an attack.

His attack seemed to be disorganized, but in fact, it concealed a mystery. He did not seem to intend to give Big Yellow any chance to catch his breath. He wanted to take over a hundred thousand Xia Dynasty troops and drag down the soldiers on Big Yellow City.

This kind of Yang scheme was sinister, vicious, and even hostile to oneself.

"Xiao Han, come and eat quickly." As Xu Han thought about this, the bearded Chu Chouli walked up the tower with several bowls of rice porridge.

He handed one of the bowls to Xu Han with concern, and then sent it towards the soldiers around him.

When they handed it to Lin Shoushi, their gazes met for a short while, but they kept away from each other tacitly without revealing any traces. No one noticed anything strange between them.

Xu Han drank the rice porridge and warmed his stomach. He felt a little better. After all, he was a Violet Firmament Realm cultivator. Not sleeping for a few days wouldn't have much of an impact on him. However, he looked at the soldiers around him. They clearly didn't have the ability to do so. Their expressions were exhausted. Obviously, this night wasn't a good one for them.

"This is not the way." He thought to himself. He turned around and looked outside the city. It was no broader than in the middle of the night. At this moment, his vision outside Big Yellow City was wide. Just how many soldiers the enemy had sent out could be roughly seen with one glance.

Xu Han thought that if Mu Ji pretended to attack again, or if he could arrange for the soldiers to rest in batches, although it might not be able to completely eliminate the exhaustion in the night, it would be better than being toyed with by Mu Ji's nose all the time.

However, two hours later, what happened quickly made Xu Han realize just how great the gap between him and Mu Ji was.

It was almost time, but it was not noon.

Lin Shou accepted Xu Han's suggestion and arranged for the soldiers to cultivate in batches, leaving only a small portion of them on guard at the city gate.

Woo!

At this time, the horn of the Mu Clan Army's charge sounded again outside the city.

Xu Han, who was guarding the city wall, looked over and saw a troop of about a thousand people walk out of Mu Ji's tent.

Xu Han frowned.

A thousand people? With such a large amount, it would be too naive to threaten Big Yellow City.

Of course, Xu Han did not think that Mu Ji would be so stupid, so he stared at the movements of the thousand people with a calm brow.

What surprised Xu Han was that after the thousand plus people left the camp, they charged in the direction of Big Yellow City.

Such a strange behavior seemed somewhat ridiculous.

It was like an ant waving its claws at an elephant.

However, this strange scene was reflected in Xu Han's eyes. After a few breaths, fear surfaced on Xu Han's forehead.

The thousand people…

It flew up…

Yes, they flew up and flew towards Big Yellow City.

…

Heavenly Hunt Realm!

After being stunned for a few breaths, Xu Han suddenly regained his senses.

After breaking through the Secluded Realm in the fifth stage of cultivation, a cultivator who had transformed into a Heavenly Hunt Realm would have the ability to fly that ordinary cultivators were unable to reach.

A thousand experts above the Heavenly Hunt Realm…

This was a terrible thing.

Although the first three realms of the Seven Realms of Cultivation would be affected by their innate talent, as long as there were no hidden dangers in their bodies, they could almost reach them. The difference was only time. When they reached the fourth realm, it was the first threshold. Many cultivators would stop before this threshold, and moving forward would be extremely difficult for each realm. It was not an exaggeration to say that it was like a heavenly chasm.

Looking at the Great Zhou Empire, it was absolutely not difficult for them to find the cultivators of the first three realms.

However, when they reached the fourth realm, the number of cultivators fell like a cliff. The number of cultivators above the fifth realm was pitifully small. Almost every single one of them was an extremely important figure in the sect. Even for a large sect like the Exquisite Pavilion, there were only a few hundred experts at the Heavenly Hunt realm. However, Mu Ji's Mu Clan Army actually had such a large number of experts in their hands. This was something that Xu Han had not expected.

Of course, at the same time, the enormous difficulty of breaking through meant that each of the latter three realms was different from the previous one.

These 1000 Heavenly Hunt Realm experts indeed possessed enough power to threaten Big Yellow City to a certain extent.

Their speed was extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, they arrived at the sky a hundred feet away from Big Yellow City.

"Quick! Sound the drum!"

Lin Yuguo, who was also in charge of monitoring the situation with Xu Han, frowned and shouted.

A dull drum beat rang out, and the soldiers and soldiers who had just fallen asleep woke up from their slumber.

At that time, streaks of sword qi, saber light, and even extremely pure True Essence poured out from the city walls of Big Yellow City in the hands of the thousand Heavenly Hunt Realm experts.

That force was so enormous that even Xu Han had to use all the strength in his body to defend against it. Moreover, those ordinary soldiers were unable to dodge it in just a single face-to-face battle. Thousands of people were struck by those forces and let out miserable screams as they fell to the ground.

"You're courting death!" At this moment, the rest generals arrived one after another, and the experts of the same realm let out explosive shouts one after another. True essence surged around their bodies, and sword intent saber light was about to attack.

Especially the commander of the Tiance Prefecture army, Hou Ling of the Great Evolution Realm, who was the first to rush to the city wall. He waved his halberd and true essence poured out like a tidal wave. When two Heavenly Hunt Realm experts were injured by that true essence, they let out a muffled snort and were about to fall to the ground.

One of the thousand people seemed to be the leader. He grabbed the two seriously injured people at an extremely fast speed. He then looked at the Marquis Ridge with the Great Halberd in his hand and shouted coldly, "Retreat!"

At that time, the group of people did not linger in battle. They all withdrew their auras, turned around, and quickly retreated back to Mu Ji's barracks.

Tu Liu, Xu Han, and the others frowned as they looked at the wailing city walls on the ground.

Beijiang Wang Muji…

Sure enough.

Xu Han's mind sank, and he couldn't help but recall what Lin Shou had said before.
