Unexpectedly, just when Rui Shi was trying to figure out the specific location of the enemy digging the tunnel, the sounds of swung hoes and iron pickaxes fighting against the mud and stone suddenly stopped.

It was like halfway through an acrobatic performance, before the most exciting climax was about to come, when a family member died suddenly and suddenly, the performance had to be interrupted on the spot, which made the veterans feel extremely sad.

Even Zhao Xiong, who possesses special skills, encountered such a strange scene for the first time. After pondering for a moment, he reached into his arms and took out one of the three kits given by the strange master before going down the mountain.

Opening it to watch with the light of the stars and the moon, Zhao Xiong frowned, then slowly stretched it out, holding the red gourd in both hands, and muttered something in the ears of others, and only heard a gurgling sound, which was very much like a legend.

I didn't pay much attention to the incantation in it and just waited for the next chapter.

After praying, Zhao Xiong walked up to the city wall of Lingzhou City in a few steps and looked at the moat surrounding the city. Thousands of fine scales glowed under the moonlight. He couldn't tell whether it was the shining moonlight or wild fish, but he couldn't tell.

Reach out and lift off the top cover.

With sharp eyes, the brave general Zhao Neng saw a stream of fire erupting from the shimmering light, falling just on the other side of the four-foot-wide moat, splitting into dozens of fist-sized flames, rolling forward on the spot, and all turned into fire rats with eyebrows and purpose.

These flame elves were extremely fast. Wherever they passed, even the rocks that were as cold as iron and hung with cold night dew burned fiercely. In the blink of an eye, they turned into a pile of gray-black rubble.

"This is the magic that an expert from outside the world passed down to my second brother! It really has the unexpected power of ghosts and gods! I didn't expect that there is such a mysterious and magical magic in the world. I don't know which monastic sect it comes from?"

Just when Zhao Neng, the guard of Lingzhou City, was fascinated by the strange magic performed by his brother, these dozens of flame rats, all of the same size and appearance, immediately spread out and swung their long pointed tails around.

It seems to be detecting traces of soil that has been turned under the ground.

Not to mention, these earth-like and fire-type elves were quite lucky. It only took them twenty breaths before a flame rat found the tunnel. It used its forelimbs like crazy and dug its claws and feet into the earth, and was actually struck by it.

It went into the ground.

As a result, the nearby flame rats rushed over one after another. Zhao Neng thought they would follow impatiently, but suddenly he found that these elves were filing in in an orderly manner.

Not long after, there were screams and wails coming from the ground. Needless to say, it must have been the vanguard sent by the enemy army to dig tunnels. They might have been smoldering in the tunnels by these fire elves.

Lingzhou garrison Zhao Neng looked at his younger brother with approval and admiration in his eyes. The Lingzhou garrison nearby looked up in reverence. This scene fell on Zhao Xiong, the left-hand man.

In the eyes of Taoists, it is natural that they are extremely satisfied.

Unfortunately, just when everyone thought they had repelled the enemy's probing attack and were preparing to celebrate, a war broke out at the other three city gates at the same time.

An emergency military report came in. The east gate was opened by the strong man holding a nine-tooth rake with a few swings, while the west gate was opened by a man with red hair, an indigo complexion, and a sinister appearance, like ghosts and gods from the underworld.

The hero swung the wheel-wheeled ax and blew up the passage.

As for the farthest north gate, it turned out to be the main force of the Jincheng Army's 2,000-strong force. The dozen or so people in the vanguard crossed the moat with just flying claws and poles. I don't know where the canoes came from, and they used interlocking iron locks.

When it was pulled apart, wooden boards were laid on top, which turned the chasm into a smooth road.

Such an obvious plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain, let alone the stranger Zhao Xiong, did not see through it. Even the brave general Zhao Neng hunted geese all year round, but his eyes were pecked by the geese. It was really a slap in the face, so he quickly arranged for people to split up to help defend.

The bronze bell that mobilized the entire army was rang by the bell ringer with all his strength. The bells rang one after another, like a funeral knell being sounded by Lingzhou City, which made everyone unhappy.

The powerful and powerful families in the city did not dare to send people to the streets due to the curfew, so they could only use flying pigeons to send a message to the guard general Zhao Neng, hoping to provide money and effort to serve as servants and cooperate with the defenders to protect the city defense.

It's a pity that Zhao Neng doesn't trust the powerful and aristocratic families in the city at all. He concludes that these fools are betting on both sides. With them around, they may be the ones who stab him.

After all, they have had previous experiences, and it’s not like they have never done similar things. As long as the other party can afford the price, not to mention buying everyone, but just a few, they can turn the tables at a critical moment.

City defense is the key, the top priority. Once the city gate is breached and a large number of enemy troops rush into the city, the morale of the soldiers and civilians defending the city will definitely drop. In addition to street fighting and a hope of comeback, Lingzhou City will be in

Changed hands tonight.

In the blink of an eye, there was no one around Zhao Xiong, a right-wing scholar. Even his direct brother Zhao Neng, for the sake of city defense and military affairs, stayed away from the city wall and returned to the city lord's mansion where his aides gathered to make decisions about the city gate.

Attack and defense.

Zhao Xiong did not see through such a crude art of war, and instead used one of the three tips given by his master. He felt that he had lost all his dignity, and desperately took back all the flame rats, but suddenly found that more than half of them were missing.

It was also Zhao Xiong's energy that he had not exhausted. When he took back the flame rats, he found that the number was insufficient, so he realized that the most dangerous place was probably the south gate that he was guarding. At the same time, he also had to contribute his efforts to the attack and defense of the other three city gates.

Just try your best.

So, Zhao Xiong held up the red gourd with both hands and used all his magic power, even the skin turned red, and finally forced out a little of the lightning fire inside the gourd.

I saw a zigzag snake-shaped electric light erupting from the opening of the saw-mouth gourd. In the wind, it turned into a fire python as thick as an arm and three feet long. It was wrapped with countless blue and white electric sparks. Two smart snake eyes appeared in the wind.

Zhao Xiong became confused and dull as he kept chanting curses.

Immediately afterwards, Zhao Xiong forced out a drop of his heart's blood from his right index finger, flicked his finger, and hit the center of the lightning snake's forehead, as if an eye had been opened.

Zhao Xiong relied on the spiritual blood sacrifice method taught by his master "Red Lian Shenjun" to enlighten the snake-shaped spirit born from the lightning strike fire into a stronger spirituality and connect with his own soul.

"Baby, please turn around!"

Upon hearing this, the thunder-like fire elf nodded three times and actually zigzagged in mid-air, then walked along the city wall to the precarious east of the city.

Over there, it was Zhu Gang, the monk who had cut off his appetite, and the four-foot-wide moat was like walking on flat ground. With just one person, he smashed the east gate of Lingzhou City to the ground and tore it into pieces. Seeing that the city gate was about to

It fell, and unexpectedly a powerful enemy came.
