The fused wizard's physical body was also completely annihilated.
Almost simultaneously, Luo Yuheng's captivating figure appeared beside Li Chang'an.
"Li Chang'an, the Black Lotus clone is dead."
"When are those damned demon and barbarian experts you mentioned coming?"
At this moment, Luo Yuheng's brows were filled with murderous intent, and his alluring face was shrouded in hatred.
"Evil" personality.
"Their movements were much slower than I expected, and I'm actually quite disappointed," Li Chang'an shook his head.
Two hours later.
The city of Chuzhou was on high alert.
The actual garrison soldiers were still unaware of the situation concerning the Prince of Zhenbei.
However, they all received orders from the governor to enter the city and prepare for the impending attack of the demon barbarian army.
The soldiers standing on the city wall squinted as they looked out and saw a cloud of dust rising on the horizon.
Countless cavalrymen galloped in, followed by a two-zhang-tall blue giant.
The demons learned the exact news of the internal strife in the northern part of the Great Feng Dynasty, and the news of the killing of the King of Zhenbei was also sent over.
However, they were unaware of the battle situation among the other experts.
They didn't even know that the Imperial Preceptor Luo Yuheng had come.
Judging from common sense, the battle for high-end products won't end so easily.
Therefore, the mighty demon army bypassed the border cities and marched straight towards Chuzhou.
After all, this battle could potentially solve the problem once and for all, allowing them to completely occupy Chuzhou.
"Boom boom boom!"
The drums sounded, echoing across the land.
The soldiers on the city wall immediately sprang into action.
They methodically prepared defensive equipment, such as rolling stones, kerosene, and logs.
Neither officers nor ordinary soldiers panicked.
Because Zheng Xinghuai made it very clear that there was a superhuman being in charge of Chuzhou City!
Zheng Xinghuai, who was physically weak, stood on the city wall in full armor.
Zhang Shen's backlash was shared by the other two great Confucian scholars, because only he understood military strategy and could help Zheng Xinghuai defend the city.
Beside them were Nangong Qianrou, Yang Yan, and Zhang Kaitai.
These three Jin Gongs have actually fought in real battles.
Hundreds of night watchmen served as a strike force, waiting in the city for orders.
Hengyuan, his body shimmering with golden light, stood atop the city wall, gazing into the distance.
In the enemy camp, the enormous blue-skinned giant, Jilizhigu, also saw Hengyuan.
Two extraordinary experts faced each other across the vast plain.
They could clearly see each other's expressions and eyes.
Jili Zhigu grinned menacingly, his expression a mixture of sneer and disdain.
The Prince of Zhenbei is indeed not here!
As for monks, I've never heard of any powerful Buddhist practitioners in the Great Feng Dynasty.
After a brief eye contact, Jili Zhigu suddenly lowered his head, swung his arms, and began to run wildly.
Boom boom boom.
The earth trembled, and the blue giant turned into a blur, seemingly trying to smash his head against the city wall.
"Fire!" The effeminate Nangong Qianrou roared almost frantically.
The large ballistae and cannons on the city walls were all aimed at the blue giant.
The incantations branded on the crossbow frame lit up one by one, the faint light emanating from them flowing like water.
The two-meter-long heavy arrow burst forth with a dazzling light, as if it were composed of pure light.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Two-meter-long heavy arrows whistled out, like streaks of light, shooting towards the blue giant.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The cannons, also enhanced by the formation, fired off streaks of burning fireballs, like dazzling meteorites.
Zhang Shen looked at the vast army of demons and barbarians, a hint of excitement in his eyes.
"The war for the revival of Confucianism in the Great Feng Dynasty begins today!"
The Great Feng army is inferior to the barbarians in individual combat strength; it is inferior in number to the Witch God Cult, which can manipulate corpses; it is inferior in flexibility to the cunning and troublesome Gu Clan army; and its mid-to-high-level combat strength is inferior to that of the Buddhist Kingdom.
The Great Feng Dynasty was able to occupy the Central Plains and dominate the nine provinces, previously relying on Confucianism.
When Confucianism dominated the court, positions such as commander-in-chief and general were usually held by Confucian scholars.
Historically, most famous Confucian generals were graduates of Yunlu Academy.
These scholar-generals were not only proficient in military strategy and skilled in warfare, but they could also personally engage in combat, and their boasts could cause the heavens and earth to collapse.
After the decline of Confucianism, the ritual implements of the Imperial Observatory took on a heavy responsibility.
Heavy weaponry and firearms are the foundation upon which the Great Feng Dynasty survives. Especially when defending a city, they are veritable meat grinders.
Therefore, Zhang Shen's excitement was not without reason.
Now that the statue of the Second Sage has been revived, the prosperity of Confucianism is inevitable.
Heavy arrows emitting blinding light and fireballs resembling meteors bombarded the blue giant relentlessly.
Jili Zhigu withstood the heavy arrows and cannon fire that could easily kill a sixth-rank martial artist. With each boom, his body would tremble.
Even so, after one round of bombardment, more than a hundred elite cavalrymen were still killed.
When he was less than two hundred meters from Chuzhou City, Jili Zhigu's knees suddenly sank, and as the ground collapsed, his body tilted and crashed into the city wall.
North Gate.
On the boundless wilderness outside the city, a colossal creature appeared at the edge of the horizon.
Its entire body is crimson red, without scales, and the single eye on its forehead resembles a golden sun.
The crimson serpent slithered along the ground, stirring up a cloud of dust.
Behind it was a densely packed army of demons, including dragons, black-scaled giant tigers, one-horned lizards, and monkeys.
Above its head, a massive, dark army of birds swept in at breakneck speed.
The soldiers on the city wall were expressionless, showing neither fear nor tension.
Mechanically launched crossbows, cannons, or bent bows were used to attack birds circling in mid-air.
The birds that fell after being shot by arrows were already dead, but during their fall, they suddenly opened their scarlet eyes, flapped their wings again, and pounced on their companions.
The demon army that had died from cannon fire and crossbow bolts rose again, tearing apart their comrades and even the crimson giant python.
Before the demon army even reached the city walls, a small-scale chaos broke out within the demon army itself.
"Bang bang bang"
The heavy arrows shot out, automatically ignoring the demon army and locking onto the crimson python.
They don't move in a straight line, but in a curve, and they attack the same target.
The python's vital spot!
Like an invisible hand, it manipulates heavy arrows and cannon fire, directing them to target weaknesses.
The giant python's enormous size, while bringing overwhelming power, also revealed its lack of agility, making it unable to dodge heavy arrows and cannon fire.
Although it wouldn't cause serious injury, the area around the seven-inch mark felt as if steel nails were being driven into the flesh, causing excruciating pain.
"Ow"
It raised its head, splitting open a gaping maw that resembled a dark red black hole. The single eye on its forehead trembled repeatedly, then suddenly shot out a beam of golden light that crashed against the city wall.
The patterns on the wall lit up, and an invisible barrier appeared in response.
Since the Battle of Shanhai Pass, the northern border has seen its first major battle.
After the Battle of Shanhai Pass, the barbarian tribes lost a second-rank expert, and their mid-to-high-level experts also suffered heavy losses.
The same applies to the northern demon race; originally there were two third-rank demons, but now only one, Zhu Jiu, remains.
With such strength, they could only be evenly matched with the Prince of Zhenbei.
But now, the opportunity to break the deadlock has arrived.
"Break the city!"
