Chapter 136 The Golden City

The musketeers in the city had already started to fight back frantically, they fired a large number of bullets, overwhelming them.

The shots of these guys were successfully defended by the shields of the Xuanjia soldiers and failed to cause much damage.

It's just that the tiger and leopard riders were still a little passive in the face of such firepower. In addition, the quicksand spell cast by the wizard caused the quicksand to sweep in, knocking down many tiger and leopard riders off their horses, and were shot to death by the impact of the bullets.

Fortunately, there were a large number of tiger and leopard cavalry, and their attack power was strong, so they rushed into the city.

The scimitar cavalry in the city are struggling to resist.

But they were not the opponents of Tiger and Leopard Cavalry at all, and the formation was instantly dispersed.

The Xuanjia soldiers also rushed to the city wall holding their shields, and started a close combat with the musketeers.

Without the advantage in distance, muskets are completely useless.

There were musketeers constantly falling under the knives of Xuanjia soldiers, and they were defeated.

This was especially true for the artillerymen in the city, who were frightened away before they could even fire.

On the other hand, Zhao Jiuxiao also led many martial arts masters all the way to the core of the enemy army.

There are still a large number of musketeers for defense in the city center.

The leader among them is riding on a horse, and his marksmanship is even more accurate.

He has short red hair and a big red beard, and his eyes are full of arrogance, and he is using the language of the quicksand country to boost morale.

And every bullet fired from his musket has the power of ice, which can directly freeze the target.

Zhao Jiuxiao immediately realized that the person in front of him was Serel.

At this time, Serel also let out a smug laugh: "General from Tiansheng Kingdom, do you think you can beat me?"

Zhao Jiuxiao waved his hand: "Of course."

Before he finished speaking, Serel had already aimed at him and fired more than a dozen bullets, flying towards Zhao Jiuxiao's face, chest, and lower abdomen respectively.

Zhao Jiuxiao immediately activated the internal force of [Marriage Dress Magic Art], shattering the opponent's bullet.

And he also took advantage of the situation and flew up, pulled out the [Tai'a Sword], and used the [Taixuan Sword Art].

I saw tens of thousands of sword qi falling from the sky, like meteors falling.

With the help of [Nine Yin Scriptures], these sword qi are even more powerful.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Serel hurriedly rode his horse to avoid the sword energy.

"Bang!" The sword energy fell to the ground, making countless sword marks.

Serel also galloped his horse while shooting, trying to shoot Zhao Jiuxiao to death.

But no matter which angle his bullets came from, they could not break the air wall of [Marrying Clothes Magic].

Under the ebb and flow, Serel exhausted a lot of energy, and his attention began to scatter.

Zhao Jiuxiao's sword energy is endless, just like his internal force, which can continue to attack.

In the end, Serel was unable to dodge in time and was pierced by the sword energy, causing hundreds of transparent holes to appear on his body.

"Bah!" Blood spurted out from it, dripping onto the ground.

Serel also fell off the horse, looking at himself in pain, with tears in his eyes, screaming in the language of the quicksand country.

Soon he was exhausted and died, his eyes were still open, unwilling to die.

Once Serel died, the formation he set up completely lost its previous effect and was unable to withstand the attack of the army, and was eventually destroyed by the charge of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry.

Zhao Jiuxiao looked at Serel's body with a trace of regret in his eyes: "You can be regarded as a hero, but it's a pity that you are my enemy. I will bury you generously."

After speaking, he ordered his soldiers to carry Serel out.

The battle had turned into a one-sided situation at this time. Neither the musketeers nor the scimitar cavalry were opponents of the army, and the wizards could only protect themselves and were powerless to fight back.

In the end, the army of the Quicksand Kingdom in the city was completely wiped out, unable to fight anymore.

Zhao Jiuxiao also successfully captured the Golden City.

But he was not complacent, but was thinking carefully about the next situation.

Gongsun Wuji walked to Zhao Jiuxiao's side: "General Zhao, the reinforcements from the Quicksand Kingdom will arrive soon, and our army must be ready to defend the city."

Zhao Jiuxiao was a little surprised: "Reinforcements? How many people are there?"

Gongsun Wuji: "According to my guess, there should be 80."

Zhao Jiuxiao frowned: "So many? It seems that the Golden City may not be able to hold on."

In this battle, his soldiers and horses lost 1 people, mainly tiger and leopard cavalry. There was no big problem. The entire enemy army was wiped out, and only 10,000+ people escaped.

However, even in such a situation, due to the exhaustion of physical strength, if the enemy attacked in a short time, it would still be troublesome to defend the city.

Zhao Jiuxiao asked, "Who will the Quicksand Congress send?"

Gongsun Wuji shook his head: "This matter still needs to be investigated."

Zhao Jiuxiao: "Okay, let me organize our troops and prepare to face the powerful enemy."

After the discussion, he began to order the soldiers in the city to do nothing to the people and merchants.

However, Zhao Jiuxiao confiscated all the belongings of the defender of Liusha Kingdom, including the belongings of officials in the city.

After completing these, he gave the merchant of the Quicksand Kingdom the gold he had promised before.

Seeing the gold, the merchants were satisfied and expressed their willingness to continue cooperation with Tiansheng Kingdom.

Gongsun Wuji has already begun a secret investigation.

Two days later, he returned to the Golden City.

Zhao Jiuxiao stayed in the general's mansion, quietly looking at Gongsun Wuji, waiting for the other party's answer.

Gongsun Wuji also took a sip of the wine, and said with a smile: "General Zhao, to be honest, there are two groups of troops sent by the Quicksand Kingdom this time, each with 40, just as I guessed, a total of 80."

"One group of people is led by the great wizard Akelel of the Liusha Kingdom, with 30 wizards and 30 musketeers, and is very powerful. The other group of people is led by General Carter of the Liusha Kingdom, with [-] musketeers and [-] scimitars. Cavalry, fierce firepower.”

Zhao Jiuxiao couldn't help but fell into deep thought; "It is indeed very dangerous for our army to attack at the same time with such powerful two groups of troops."

Gongsun Wuji: "Yes, especially the team of wizards. Once they collectively perform witchcraft, our army may not be able to resist it."

Zhao Jiuxiao: "Then young hero Gongsun has a clever plan?"

Gongsun Wuji: "The current plan is to find a way to kill these wizards and not let them do whatever they want."

Zhao Jiuxiao: "How about using an ambush?"

Gongsun Wuji: "That's exactly what I mean, General Zhao please take a look."

As he spoke, he pointed on the map.

Zhao Jiuxiao looked along his fingers and saw two highlands on the map. They were located in a canyon that the enemy army must pass through when going to the Golden City.

Gongsun Wuji: "Our army can ambush the crossbowmen and artillerymen on both sides of the canyon. After the wizard army passes by, they can shoot with dense arrows and cannons. At the same time, they can dispatch tiger and leopard cavalry and divide them into two groups. Block its forward and retreat routes.”

"Xuanjia soldiers are responsible for resisting the enemy's musketeers and scimitar cavalry, preventing them from rescuing the besieged quicksand army."

"In this way, Akurel's troops will be unable to hold on and will be annihilated by our army in the canyon, and our army's casualties will also be minimized."

Zhao Jiuxiao nodded: "Gongsun Shaoxia is right!"
