Chapter 1449: Chapter 1450: Where did so many experts come from?
Of course, they were all Chilin people being killed.
Since the black-clad warriors were only killing the Chilin people and not them, Ye Zhi wasn’t too worried.
But.
The bamboo pole was so thin, the river five meters wide, yet the black-clad warriors could maintain balance, crossing the bamboo pole as if on flat ground, running swiftly and lightly, like swallows in flight.
And judging from the swift actions where each slash of the black-clad warriors brought down a Chilin soldier, these black-clad warriors were undoubtedly masters.
Ye Zhi frowned. Where did so many masters come from?
Based on visual estimation... there should be about four or five hundred of them.
From her perspective, it looked like a dense mass of black.
With the addition of the black-clad warriors, the Chilin soldiers only ended up falling; each sword strike from the black-clad warriors was swift, ruthless, and precise, instantly claiming the lives of Chilin soldiers.
The enemy soldiers surrounding the female soldiers were also killed by the black-clad warriors; the female soldiers were puzzled and ran towards Ye Zhi.
"Deputy General, who are these people?" Su Chengyuan was the first to ask. She had initially been worried that the black-clad warriors would be detrimental to them, but seeing the black-clad warriors only kill the Chilin people, she felt relieved.
Ye Zhi was also confused and honestly said, "I don’t know. But, they’re helping us out. Let’s move, we can’t just watch them kill the enemy, we need to join in; every enemy we can kill counts."
"All right!" The female soldiers immediately joined Ye Zhi in the fight again.
...
When Ye Zhi first signaled with the smoke, Qi Tengfei saw it and immediately attacked the West Gate of Jingye City.
The West Gate was under attack, and Ma Da Gong received the news, quickly sending another fifty thousand reinforcements to the West Gate. There were actually one hundred thousand troops at the West Gate, but Ma Da Gong was not reassured, so he sent another fifty thousand.
At this moment, Ma Da Gong was standing at the gate under the city tower, which was the South Gate. Xiao Changyi was leading nearly three hundred thousand troops at the bottom of the city.
There was no East Gate. Strictly speaking, the East Gate was adjacent to the mountain, and enemy troops had already entered.
There was a North Gate, but on the other side of the North Gate, it was still within Chilin’s territory, so Xiyun’s people could not attack Jingye City from the North Gate.
When Qi Tengfei attacked the city, they also released a smoke signal, which Xiao Changyi saw, but Xiao Changyi’s side still did not attack the city.
When Xiao Changyi saw two more smoke signals emerging from the mountains, he knew Ye Zhi and the others had drawn significant forces to their side, prompting Xiao Changyi to draw his longsword and point it to the sky.
"All soldiers, hear my command—attack the city immediately!"
With Xiao Changyi’s order, shields moved forward, the army followed in step, the battering ram quickly advanced from the back to the front, with over a dozen soldiers hiding behind it, pushing the ram forward without pause.
An Jing stood on Xilin City Tower, using a telescope to clearly see Xiao Changyi finally bringing troops to attack the city, making her heart instantly race into her throat.
Gong Juechen was also using a telescope, but not to look in Xiao Changyi’s direction; he was watching the twin smoke signals rising from the mountains. His peach blossom eyes were filled with worry, coldness, and bloodthirstiness.
Seeing nearly three hundred thousand troops surging towards them like a tidal wave, with the sound of iron hooves and drums shaking the heavens and earth, Ma Da Gong was immediately startled and loudly shouted, "Release the arrows! Release the arrows! Release the arrows!"
The archers were already positioned on the city tower, waiting for the Great General Ma Da Gong’s command. Now that Ma Da Gong had given the order, the arrows were released immediately.
Suddenly, a rain of arrows flew towards the city below, aimed at Xiao Changyi and his men, stirring the soul and shocking the spirit.
