Chapter 251 Even Heaven is on Our Side!
On the grassland, Jiang Baihe looked at Kong Wen in front of him, and his heart sank to the bottom.
Although it was only a few miles from the border of Qingzhou, Jiang Baihe knew that he probably wouldn't be able to cross that distance.
The golden bell shadow falling from above caused tiny cracks to appear in the ground within a radius of a hundred meters, demonstrating the astonishing power of this attack, which had reached an unbelievable level.
Zhou Luan, holding a long sword, stood to the side, watching intently. Although he did not make a move, he brought even greater pressure to Jiang Baihe.
"I still have masters in the city, aren't you going back?!"
Jiang Baihe screamed as he tried his best to resist the golden bell shadow.
At this point, he had no other choice but to go down a dark path.
"You mean the guy who saved you just now? Don't worry, he's not getting away either!"
Zhou Luan remained calm. In fact, there was another expert at the Great Perfection of the Divine Mansion realm stationed in the city, which was why he dared to chase after Kong Wen.
"Damn it!"
Jiang Baihe roared, and then his entire figure was instantly engulfed by the falling golden bell...
On the other side, Ding Yi, riding on horseback, casually tossed down a gray box, then looked ahead with an unchanged expression.
Amidst the chaotic hoofbeats, the black motif was deeply stomped into the mud and quickly disappeared from the ground.
After the cavalrymen left, the black box that had sunk into the ground suddenly cracked open, and a burst of flame shot out and soared into the sky.
The flame shot up a hundred meters high in an instant, then transformed into a strange pattern in the air, which was exceptionally clear even in broad daylight.
On the city walls overlooking the moon, a general noticed the pattern in the sky and immediately frowned, asking:
"What signal is this?"
The observer beside him was also somewhat bewildered. After thinking for a moment, he shook his head and said:
"Sir, this does not seem to be our signal."
"Not ours?"
The general was stunned for a moment, then turned pale with fright and couldn't help but shout:
"you sure?"
The observer nodded firmly, and then said:
"Sure!"
The general's face was somewhat gloomy. If it wasn't a signal from his own side, then it could only be a signal from the Yin-Yang Palace.
This means that the spies of the Yin-Yang Palace may have discovered Kong Wen and his group's whereabouts, which would be very bad.
"There are still members of the Chaotic God Cult inside the city. The Seventh and Ninth Battalions will remain, while the First, Second, Fourth, and Fifth Battalions will all leave the city!!"
The general immediately gave the order, and then walked down from the city wall, seemingly intending to join the battle himself.
"Beat the drums! Attack!!"
The soldiers on the city wall immediately picked up drumsticks and began pounding on the giant drum, which was taller than a person.
The next moment, the dull drumbeats rang out again, leaving the soldiers in the city looking at each other in bewilderment.
Meanwhile, Ding Yi and his group, on the other side, were unable to see the signals behind them as they moved forward. They didn't even hear the sound of fireworks exploding because all they could hear was the chaotic sound of horses' hooves.
However, Kong Wen and Zhou Luan did see it.
"General Zhou, was this planted by your men?"
Kong Wen asked with a grim expression.
Zhou Luan frowned. He was about to say something when he suddenly seemed to notice something and his eyes snapped to a certain direction.
On the protruding hillside, a figure riding a demonic horse appeared first, followed quickly by the black-armored cavalry of the Yin-Yang Palace on either side of him.
The cavalrymen stood in a line on a distant hillside, looking down at the area. A powerful sense of pressure immediately stirred the nerves of the two men.
Even a powerful expert who has reached the Great Perfection of the Divine Palace would never be so arrogant as to make an enemy of an entire army.
In particular, the black-armored guards of Qingzhou not only carry specially crafted crossbows that can counter experts, but their armor is also engraved with formations that can absorb a large amount of damage.
The most troublesome thing is that these Black Armor Guards are in formations of ten, a hundred, a thousand, or even ten thousand men, and they can rival Lu Xian. This is what earned them the reputation of the Black Armor Guards.
On the hillside, Liu Xun, clad in armor, gazed at the scene before him, then let out a soft sigh.
He and his men have been waiting here for two days, not daring to close their eyes day or night, for fear of missing Ding Yi's signal.
Fortunately, it finally happened today!
As for the eight hundred black-armored guards behind him, they were borrowed from Guanyue City.
Two days ago, he suddenly came to Guanyue City and said that he had learned of Baiyun Temple's plan to attack. In addition, he was a formal worshipper of Yangji Palace, which is why the general guarding the city lent him eight hundred cavalry.
"My lord, they really are from Baiyun Temple!"
The captain beside Liu Xun looked excited. He pointed at the group of Baiyun Temple cavalry running towards them and shouted.
Upon hearing this, Liu Xun nodded slightly. In fact, Ding Yi's task for him was to bring as many garrison troops as possible from Guanyue City, but when he saw the dust rising in the distance, he suddenly felt that his eight hundred black-armored guards were not enough.
"Send a signal to let the city know that Baiyun Temple has arrived!"
Liu Xun shouted decisively.
Upon hearing this, a centurion next to him immediately took out a cylinder from his pocket, pulled it towards the sky, and the next moment, another white light shot into the sky, exploding into a bird-like pattern.
Guanyue City.
The soldiers on the city wall looked at the signal that suddenly appeared ahead and their expressions changed drastically. They immediately ran towards the deputy general.
"Report!! Director Liu has sent a signal; they've likely encountered a large army from Baiyun Temple!"
The man ran to the foot of the city wall, found the lieutenant general, and hurriedly spoke.
"What?! They really want to launch a surprise attack?"
The lieutenant was stunned upon hearing this. What were these guys from Baiyun Temple thinking? Their scouts hadn't seen any grain transport team. What kind of attack was this?
A feint attack?
The deputy general pondered for a moment, and immediately wanted to report the matter to the general, but unexpectedly, the next moment, a horn sounded in the city.
The bugle call sounded desolate and deep, resonating in the hearts of those who heard it, and letting the soldiers in the city know that this was a signal to prepare for battle.
"Quickly!! Move all the bows and arrows to the city wall!!"
"Anyone who's slow, I'll chop their head off!!"
The next moment, various roars rang out from within the city, as the centurions began to command their soldiers to assemble and prepare to defend the city against the enemy.
"Sir, are Director Liu and the others still outside? Should we go and provide assistance?"
The soldier looked at the soldiers around him who had already begun to line up and couldn't help but ask the lieutenant general a question.
"Pray, pray that they can come back soon."
Upon hearing this, the lieutenant shook his head. Under these circumstances, it was impossible for him to send out a large army to provide support.
All he had to do was defend the city and repel the enemy's attack.
If a county inspector were to send troops out of the city and fall into the enemy's trap, his head would be hung on the city wall the next day.
On the other side, Liu Xun looked at the fireworks exploding above his head, then waved his hand, and immediately the eight hundred cavalrymen behind him were all in a charging stance.
This signal was merely to show that his act of borrowing troops for an ambush was not wrong. As for waiting for reinforcements from Guanyue City, Liu Xun knew that his status was not high enough to warrant such a request.
Moreover, his master's orders were to kill on sight without hesitation, so he directly ordered the cavalry behind him to prepare for attack.
When two armies clash, neither side can afford to lose in terms of momentum. They are currently positioned on the hillside, attacking from above, and have already gained the upper hand.
On the other side, Li Wanyun and the others also saw the Yin Yang Palace iron cavalry charging menacingly, and their faces immediately lit up with joy.
It's like we've got exactly what we wanted! Even the heavens are on our side!
Li Wanyun's dejected mood vanished instantly, and she quickly sent a telepathic message to everyone, telling them to get ready.
