Chapter 572 Trouble

Cui Dazhu seemed to love this night raid. That evening, Xu Han, who had just fallen asleep, was awakened by the heaven-shaking shouts and murders coming from the direction of the city gate. The flames lingered around the city gate. At that time, the citizens of Heng Imperial City walked out of the door and stood outside, nervously staring in the direction of the city gate. On the other hand, soldiers rushing to the city gates could be seen everywhere on the streets.

Although he had thought of Cui Ting from the beginning, or that the Dark Asura Palace behind Cui Ting must be hiding something, Xu Han was still somewhat surprised that the other party had chosen to attack the city that night.

Marotta brought one hundred and twenty thousand Saint Yang army, but the actual army of a hundred battles, plus yanzhou city to gather troops, at this moment in the horizontal imperial city gathered a total of two hundred and fifty thousand troops. And if this morning the marotta armor did not see wrongly, cui ting hand at this moment full also but fifty thousand troops, plus the high wall of the horizontal imperial city Xu Han really don't think cui ting with horizontal imperial city.

However, these were not things that Xu Han needed to worry about. In fact, he had more troubles to deal with.

"Shouldn't we go take a look?" Chu Chouli, who was also woken up by this strange movement, approached Xu Han and asked with great interest.

The middle-aged man had come to this point, but his liking for fun could not be changed.

Hearing this, Xu Han turned his head to look at the crowd. Apart from Yan Zhan, who had suddenly left with Xue Ning a few days ago, everyone was standing beside Xu Han. They all cast their gazes on Xu Han. He tilted his head and thought for a moment, then suddenly nodded, "Big Brother Chu, if you want to take a look, go take a look. Remember to be careful."

"Good!" Chu Chouli, who had obtained permission, grinned. He was just about to leave with everyone, but it seemed like he suddenly thought of something. The step he took stopped again. He looked at Xu Han suspiciously and asked, "Aren't you going?"

Xu Han smiled and shook his head. He yawned and said, "Fifty thousand troops wanting to shake Horizontal Imperial City is no different from foolish dreams. What's so good about it? I'm too tired after a few days of busy work. I want to have a good rest."

Chu Chouli and the others were all simple-minded people. Hearing Xu Han's words, they did not doubt him. After they all agreed, they left in groups with great interest. Only Ye Hongjian stood on the spot and did not have the slightest intention of separating.

"Aren't you going to take a look?" Seeing this, Xu Han was slightly stunned, but he quickly regained his senses.

Ye Hongjian pursed her lips and smiled at him, saying, "I don't think there's anything good to see either."

Xu Han was dumbfounded. From the teasing smile on Ye Hongjian's face, he had probably read out that Ye Hongjian had seen through his abacus. However, he didn't seem willing to give up and said, "Actually…"

"Nothing really." However, before she could finish speaking, she was interrupted by Ye Hongjian. The girl took a step forward and stood in front of Xu Han beautifully. She tilted her head, blinked her eyes, and whispered, "I missed the last time in Chang'an. This time, I don't want to miss it again."

Xu Han's expression changed. He knew what Ye Hongjian was referring to and understood that it was not easy to deceive her with Ye Hongjian's intelligence. He simply extended his hand and held Ye Hongjian's hand.

He then looked straight into his bright eyes and finally nodded, "Alright."

…

Li Mo stood on the city wall of Heng Imperial City and looked at the black-armored warriors standing in a row outside the city gate. He frowned and asked, "What exactly are they going to do?"

Standing beside him marotta smell speech side looked at Li Mo ding, but did not speak.

Li Moding felt this, he was a little unhappy, of course, more embarrassed because from marotta eyes to write full of disdain, as if mocking Li Moding asked this question is how ignorant.

Li Moding calculated carefully. Ever since the Eight Sons seized the first wife for thirty years, it had been thirty years since he had seen this elder brother. Where he is, what to do, is an unsolved mystery, even there have been many marotta has been secretly executed by Li Yulin rumors. After all, marotta participated in the fight to seize the first wife, for any emperor, such a person is not willing to be seen.

But thirty years when marotta appeared in front of everyone again, he had become the strongest and most mysterious commander of the Great Xia's Saint Yang Army. This greatly exceeded everyone's expectations. Of course, Li Moding was also one of them.

However, unlike everyone else, Li Moding was more surprised than surprised.

As Li Wenjing's youngest son, Li Moding was only ten years old thirty years ago, so he naturally did not have the ability or the heart to participate in such a chaotic battle. He was originally Li Wenjing, who had been drunk for a day and was lucky enough to come out of a palace maid, and his status in the royal family had always been low. And in his childhood memories of being repeatedly white-eyed, only Li Yulin and marotta had waited for him, so after seeing marotta, he intends to get close, but the other side is everywhere cold, which makes Li Mo ding both uncomfortable, also some doubt, of course, and can not avoid the anger piled up in the heart.

Naturally, he could not choose between these words.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

At this moment, a muffled sound came from below the city walls.

Li Moding had no choice but to suppress the disturbed thoughts in his heart. He looked at the place with his deep eyes, only to see the armored men pushing huge metal catapults towards the Horizontal Imperial City at that time.

"Could it be that they want to rely on this thing to break through the Heng Imperial City?" Someone immediately spoke out in such a manner, and his tone was filled with ridicule.

A catapult like this might be useful against ordinary city walls, but it was not worth mentioning in front of the Heng Imperial City, which was several hundred feet tall. Moreover, even if this catapult was different from the others and could throw huge rocks onto the Heng Imperial City, they still had the Saint Yang Army.

However, after saying this, the person quickly fell silent, because marotta at that time cast an ice-cold gaze towards him, his heart a shock know offended the Li family prince's military discipline, immediately silent silence.

Then marotta has turned to look behind the messenger, the messenger instantly understand, he nodded, raised the flag in his hand, waved with a specific law, mouth loudly shouted: "Lie thorn camp ready!"

With this sound, hundreds of armored warriors wearing iron armor and each of their hands holding a shining moon blade stepped out and arrived at various parts of the city wall.

At the same time, ten-foot-long iron balls were pushed onto the catapults by Cui Ting's subordinates. From their slow movements, it was not difficult to tell that these iron balls were extremely heavy.

"Let go!" Along with the roar of the messenger below the city gate, the iron arms of the catapults were waved. Under the waving of the iron arms, huge iron balls were abandoned high up and smashed towards the Heng Imperial City.

Hundreds of iron balls also smashed towards the Royal City at such a fast speed. This scene was naturally spectacular. On the city wall, the civil and military officials who were called warlords, but could only watch the battle, their faces turned cold when they saw this scene. Facts had proved that they had overestimated the height of the Imperial City and underestimated Cui Ting, who dared to attack the city with 50,000 yuan.

Some of them had already activated their True Essence, while others began to flee with their heads crossed.

However, the commander of the Sacred Sun Army frowned. He was a little puzzled, wondering if Cui Ting was really that stupid.

The giant iron balls quickly arrived at the top of the city wall. With their rapid descent speed, they were afraid that they would fall in a few breaths. At this moment, the hundreds of soldiers of the Fierce Thorn Camp with moon blades flew out one after another to meet the iron balls that were whistling towards them.

Swoosh!

After that, several cold lights flashed, and the moon blades in their hands were swiftly waved by them, and streaks of cold light flashed through the air.

Clang!

Along with the sound of the collision of metals and stones, under the astonished gazes of the crowd, those enormous iron balls were actually cut apart by the moon blades and turned into pieces at that moment.

The crowd who had witnessed this scene immediately cried out in alarm. However, before they could finish, the cries of alarm turned into horror.

The reason for that was because amidst the broken iron balls, figures suddenly flew out from the iron balls. Their speed was extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, they charged towards the soldiers on the city wall. The trained Saint Yang Army was naturally able to deal with them calmly, but those ordinary soldiers were obviously shocked by such a change. Hundreds of people died tragically under those figures.

After the first round of the battle ended, everyone could clearly see those figures through the beacon fire at the city wall. They were humanoid creatures covered in purple scales, with fangs, and their entire bodies were covered in terrifying barbs. His appearance was hideous and terrifying, like a ghost crawling out of hell.

Rao is marotta after seeing the appearance of these monsters, is also a shock in the heart, but those monsters apparently did not give the people digest the frightened meaning, they have to let out a sharp roar after landing, and then pounced around the people without any rules.

Imperial City's city walls were filled with murderous sounds, and the soldiers at the gate had already filled the second round of iron balls, ready to attack.

…

"Looks like Cui Dazhu isn't as easy to deal with as he thought." Ye Hongjian, who was sitting in the mansion gate, turned her head to look in the direction of the city wall where the flames were lingering, and said to Xu Hanyan beside her.

Hearing this, Xu Han, who was hugging Xuan'er and stroking the little fellow's hair, reached out and stroked the hair on Xuan'er's back. He grabbed a black flea from inside and said without raising his head, "Cui Ting cannot be underestimated, let alone the Dark Asura Palace behind him."

Ye Hongjian blinked her eyes and asked, "So you can't defend the Royal City anymore?"

Xu Han pulled out a flea from Xuan'er's hair again, faintly responded: "That depends on marotta has how much ability, if he can stall for a period of time, maybe there will be a turn for the better."

"Huh? You mean the army of the hardworking kings that endured until the states and prefectures arrived?" Ye Hongjian asked again.

Xu Han smiled. He shook his head and suddenly stood up.

He put Xuan'er in his arms down, looked up at the distant horizon, and said, "It won't be that long."

He paused for a moment before narrowing his eyes.

"It's only good that I can endure until I solve this problem before me."

Hearing this, Ye Hongjian was stunned. She seemed to have sensed something and hurriedly followed Xu Han's gaze.

In the distant darkness, a few figures dragged the black gas into the sky and flew towards this place.
