Douluo: Reborn Xue Ke, determined to protect Qian Renxue

In this way, half a year passed quietly, and the Xingluo Empire had ceded more than a dozen cities to the Tianwu Empire, equivalent to a quarter of its territory.

On this day, as soon as Dai Xiao got up from his concubine's bed, he received a report from a servant, asking for an audience with Davis.

"Father, we can't go on like this. The Tianwu Empire will only become more and more aggressive. If things go on like this, half of our Star Luo Empire will be surrendered to others."

Dai Xiao held his forehead in pain: "Tell me, what should I do?"

Davis took out the map he had prepared long ago, pointed to the location of Tianxue City and said: "Father, Tianxue City is the fiefdom Xue Ke was rewarded by Xue Ye when Xue Ke was still Prince Jade, and it is the center of Xue Ke's power. After so many years of development, Tianxue City has become a wealthy city."

"If we can capture Tianxue City, it will definitely boost the military morale of our Star Luo Empire, and at the same time, it will also greatly damage the morale of the Tianwu Empire. We want them to know that if we push the tiger hard, the tiger will be cruel Bite off a piece of his flesh."

"Just do what you want. I will deploy an army of 50 to you, and we must take down Tianxue City in one fell swoop. Remember, soldiers are valuable and quick, so you must move quickly."

Davis cupped his fists and said, "My son, I obey."

Davis was about to leave, but was stopped by Dai Xiao.

Dai Xiao's eyes revealed a sinister expression: "Take Tang San with you. His Sword of Destruction and Judgment is best at destruction. I want you to slaughter Tianxue City completely, leaving no one alive."

"Yes."

Fighting for land, killing people to fill the fields.Fight for the city and fill it with people.

Davis understood that Dai Xiao was really angry and wanted to use blood to wash away the shame of recent years.

However, as soon as Davis told Tang San and was preparing to send troops, Tang San, the undercover agent, had already sent the letter through secret channels.

Xue Ke, who was far away in Wuhun City, quickly received Tang San's letter and read it.

Xue Ke sneered disdainfully. The Star Luo Empire was indeed very courageous in attacking Tianxue City, but Dai Xiao should not have suggested that Tang San should follow.

Although Tianxue City is impregnable, there will inevitably be damage in this battle, and Xue Ke does not want his own people to suffer unnecessary casualties.

Therefore, she had to go back to Tianxue City.

……

As the heir to the Tianwu Empire and the general who protects the country, Xue Ke naturally has the right to dispatch troops and generals.

The original garrison of Tianxue City was only 20, but Xueke mobilized another [-] troops.

Tianxue City's 30-strong army was ready, and the soldiers and civilians were united. Xue Ke's personal arrival brought the morale of the soldiers and people to its peak.

Xue Ke stood on the tower, looking at the billowing smoke in the distance.

The 50-strong army of the Star Luo Empire continues to approach Tianxue City.

10,000+ forward troops holding shields, with a flourishing lineup, are constantly approaching Tianxue City.

The Star Luo Empire's army cannot directly attack the city because Tianxue City has Pushui as a moat. If they want to climb the city tower or break open the city gate, they must pass through the moat.

Why doesn't the Star Luo Empire just cut off the water source of Tianxue City's moat? This way, there's no need to wade across the river.

Because the moat of Tianxue City is a living river, there is spring water spurting out from the bottom of the moat, which cannot be cut off.

The solution is to dig tributaries and divert the river water away, which will take at least four days.Other than that, it is to build a living bridge across the river.

Star Luo Empire soldiers shouted, and rushed forward with shields in hand. They rushed to the other side of the moat and squatted down, hiding behind the shields. Thousands of crossbowmen rushed over, hiding behind the shield hands, and raised their crossbows to fire. The sky was filled with arrows. Rain poured on the city walls.

"The fourth soul skill, Protection of Jade Light!"

Xue Ke put on the soldiers on the tower a jade-light armor that could withstand the attack of the soul master. At the same time, he opened the Emerald Swan Domain to maximize the effect of the soul skills.

Despite this, due to the large number of people, Xue Ke's soul skills could not take care of every soldier. Those soldiers without Jade Light Armor hid behind the battlements. At this moment, another group of 3000 soldiers rushed out of the Star Luo Empire's formation. Several people with firearms fired at the city wall with burning rockets.The siege officially kicked off.

Both sides attacked each other with arrows, stones and firearms. There were numerous marks of impact and fire on the outer walls and city walls, but these were only superficial scars and did not damage the structure.

Since Tianxue City's side was in a commanding position, had enough arrows and stones, and with Xue Ke's assistance, they were able to defend the city impregnably without any casualties.

On the contrary, the casualties on the side of the Star Luo Empire were very high, with more than half of the forward troops dead.

On the third day of the siege, the Star Luo Empire's 50-strong army had lost more than 20 people, and countless corpses lay scattered outside Tianxue City.

Xue Ke looked at the mountains of corpses below, and only now did he deeply understand the tragic situation described by the sentence in Cao Cao's "Hao Li Xing": "White bones are exposed in the wild, and there is no rooster crow for thousands of miles."

Seeing that Davis could not attack for a long time, he did not plan to launch an attack for the time being until he built a wooden bridge on the fourth day.

"King Lan Hao, can you sneak into Tianxue City quietly and use your sword of destruction and judgment? Tianxue City can be destroyed in a day."

Tang San sneered in his heart, Davis had a pretty good idea, letting him bear the infamy of massacring people, Tang San was not stupid.Besides, Tang San was an undercover agent to begin with, let alone help Davis.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince, didn't you see the figure on the tower? Xue Ke has come to Tianxue City in person. Her strength is as good as mine. Besides, there must be other strong people in the city. I'm just going to die. Your Highness Let’s find another way to break the city.”

What Tang San said did make sense, and Davis couldn't force it.

On the fourth day, the Star Luo Empire finally built three living bridges that could span the moat.

The Xingluo side built three living bridges on the moat. The soldiers crossed the moat, brought ladders to attack the city, and used giant trees to hit the city gate.

The soldiers at the gate of Tianxue City kept throwing kerosene and flint downwards. Even if a few fish that escaped the net were lucky enough to climb up the city, they would be killed by Xue Ke and many soldiers on the spot.

As for the city gate, Xue Ke was not worried at all, because Zhang Tianlin had already been waiting there with thousands of soul masters. Even if the Star Luo Empire broke through the city gate, they would be hit head-on.

Xue Ke didn't want to kill someone herself unless absolutely necessary, because she enjoyed the feeling of being in command.

With her powerful auxiliary ability, there have been no casualties on Tianxue City's side so far, and Xue Ke can afford it.

The Star Luo Empire's siege on the fourth day ended in failure. So far, the Star Luo side had lost more than 30 people in this siege.

It's not that the Star Luo Empire is not good, it's that Xue Ke's auxiliary ability is too abnormal.

Xue Ke's powerful healing, restorative and protective abilities made the soldiers in Detian Xuecheng fearless of life and death, and their morale was high.

Coupled with the fact that they took advantage of the danger to defend themselves, waited for work at leisure, and were fully prepared, the Xingluo Empire, which had worked hard on the expedition, was destined to fail this time.
