Chapter 149 City Defense II
Gu Xuanchao's soldiers brandished swords, spears, and halberds, attempting to break through the Ling Kingdom's defenses.
"Kill! For the money, women, and land of the Spirit Kingdom!"
A soldier from the Valley of Xuan roared as he slashed his broadsword fiercely at a soldier from the Spirit Kingdom.
Meanwhile, the soldiers of Ling Kingdom, under the cover of the city walls, engaged in a fierce battle with the enemy.
"You bastards, how dare you insult the girls of our Ling Kingdom like this!"
The soldiers of the Ling Kingdom roared as their spears pierced the enemy's chest.
Blood stained the city walls, and the air was thick with the stench of blood.
Throughout this fierce battle, the old general remained steadfast on the city wall, personally commanding his soldiers in combat.
"We must hold our ground and never retreat."
The old general's voice was firm and powerful. His spear flashed like lightning, instantly killing several enemies.
His figure moved across the battlefield, sometimes wielding his spear to kill enemies, sometimes shouting to boost morale.
"For the sake of the Spirit Kingdom, for the sake of our loved ones, we must fight to the end."
A general from the Ling Kingdom shouted as he slashed his broadsword at the enemy, cleaving a soldier from the Gu Xuan Dynasty in two.
Under his leadership, the soldiers of the Ling Kingdom were in high spirits and their fighting power increased dramatically.
However, as time went on, Gu Xuanchao's soldiers gradually gained the upper hand.
"Charge! Break through this wall and show them our might!"
Wu Bailie roared at the front of the battle, brandishing his spear, and enemies fell one after another under his spear.
Taking advantage of their numbers, they continued to climb the city wall.
"Don't let them up!" roared a soldier from the Spirit Kingdom.
He grabbed his comrade and the two of them together kicked a Gu Xuanchao soldier who had just climbed the city wall down.
Although the soldiers of Ling Kingdom fought bravely, their casualties continued to rise.
"Soldiers, hold on! We will definitely hold out!"
The old general's voice echoed on the city wall as he once again swung his sword and killed several more enemies.
As Gu Xuanchao's soldiers continued to climb, the battle on the city wall became increasingly fierce.
"Hurry! Cut their ropes!"
A soldier from the Ling Kingdom shouted loudly as he slashed his broadsword fiercely at the ropes the enemy was using to climb.
Every soldier from the Gu Xuan Dynasty who climbed the city wall faced fierce resistance from the soldiers of the Ling Kingdom.
"what."
As soon as a soldier from the Gu Xuan Dynasty appeared on the city wall, he was stabbed by a soldier from the Ling Kingdom with a spear.
He screamed in pain, lost his balance, and fell off the city wall.
"Hmph, you want to occupy our land and even try to steal our Ling Kingdom's girls? Dream on."
The Ling Kingdom soldiers sneered and threw themselves back into the battle.
Immediately afterwards, another soldier from the Gu Xuan Dynasty scaled the city wall, brandishing his broadsword in an attempt to kill the soldiers of the Ling Kingdom.
"Come on, you piece of trash. Let me show you what I'm capable of."
A soldier from the Spirit Kingdom roared and charged at the enemy, and the two instantly began to wrestle.
The soldiers of the Ling Kingdom were not afraid and quickly assembled.
They surrounded the enemy soldier with weapons such as spears and broadswords, and finally killed him on the city wall.
"Hmph, you invaders, don't even think about setting foot on our Ling Kingdom's territory."
A soldier from the Spirit Kingdom roared, his voice filled with determination and courage.
Wu Bailie watched the battle on the city wall from the front lines, his heart filled with anxiety.
If he cannot break through this city wall as soon as possible, Gu Xuanchao's army will surely be in trouble.
"This can't go on! Charge!" Wu Bailie roared.
He brandished his spear and led an elite force in another fierce charge against the city wall.
"Follow me! We must break through this wall!"
His voice echoed across the battlefield, inspiring Gu Xuanchao's soldiers to advance bravely.
Faced with the fierce resistance of the Ling Kingdom soldiers, Wu Bailie's charge did not achieve the desired effect.
"Trying to breach our walls? Not so easy."
The old general sneered, and he personally directed his soldiers to continuously attack Gu Xuanchao's soldiers with bows and arrows, rolling logs, stones and other weapons.
Despite their rudimentary weapons, the soldiers of Ling Kingdom repelled the soldiers of Gu Xuan Dynasty, preventing them from getting close to the city walls.
However, they also suffered countless casualties. For every soldier who fell, someone else would take his place, and the wounded had to be taken away.
Five spirit stars atop the city walls.
Qin Lingxing, Qi Lingxing, Shu Lingxing, Hua Lingxing, and Bai Lingxing, witnessing this scene, were all filled with resentment and indignation.
Qin Lingxing gently stroked the guqin, the strings trembling slightly, her voice carrying a hint of determination.
"Chess Spirit Star, Book Spirit Star, Painting Spirit Star, White Spirit Star, the current situation is becoming increasingly critical. We cannot sit idly by and watch our soldiers sacrifice themselves in vain."
I suggest we each use half our strength and work together to repel the enemy. What do you think?
Upon hearing this, Qi Lingxing quickly analyzed the situation on the battlefield. She shook her head with a solemn expression.
"No, the enemy has a large number of troops. If we go all out, our strength will be depleted too quickly."
Even if we wanted to hold the city walls by then, we wouldn't have the strength.
Shu Lingxing, holding a longbow and with piercing eyes, added.
"What Chess Spirit Star said is absolutely right. Moreover, there are still ten Lesser Yuan Realm martial artists among the enemy troops."
Their strength should not be underestimated; we must proceed with caution and avoid rash actions.
Bai Lingxing moved gracefully, her eyes darting around. After a moment of thought, she proposed a compromise.
"Here's what we'll do, Qin Lingxing. You're good at sonic attacks, which can cover a large area of enemies."
Use 80% of your strength and unleash a full-force attack; see how many enemy soldiers you can kill.
The four of us will assist you and ensure that your attacks are as powerful as possible.
After you attack, immediately retreat to rest and recover your strength.
Upon hearing this, the other four spirit stars all felt that the plan was feasible.
They quickly adjusted their mindset and prepared for the upcoming battle.
Qin Lingxing took a deep breath, jumped to the edge of the city wall, and her fingers danced on the strings of her zither, a stirring war song echoing above the city wall.
Her music was like a storm, sweeping over the enemy army. Instantly, dozens of enemy soldiers were shaken so badly that they coughed up blood and collapsed to the ground.
Meanwhile, Chess Spirit Star, Book Spirit Star, Painting Spirit Star, and White Spirit Star each unleashed their unique skills, throwing out chess pieces as hidden weapons, shooting out sharp arrows, or using their movement techniques to disrupt the enemy army.
With their cooperation, Qin Lingxing's attacks became even more powerful, and the enemy forces were forced to retreat in defeat.
This attack also exhausted most of Qin Lingxing's power.
She staggered and withdrew from the battlefield, her face pale, and the other four spirit stars took over the responsibility of defending the city.
They knew this was only a temporary relief; the real battle was yet to come.
But they believe that as long as they are united, the Kingdom of Ling will surely be able to overcome this crisis.
Wu Bailie, the eldest prince of the Gu Xuan Dynasty, stood in a corner of the battlefield, his eyes fixed on the movements on the city wall.
When he saw Qin Lingxing's awe-inspiring attack, and the soldiers fell like wheat being harvested, a chill ran through him.
He never expected that the Ling Kingdom would possess such a powerful sonic attack method.
"This...what kind of skill is this?"
Wu Bailie muttered to himself, his face full of shock and confusion.
His deputy was also stunned, clearly shocked by Qin Lingxing's strength.
As night fell, the fierce siege and defense battle had continued for a full day.
Wu Bailie gazed at the Ling Kingdom soldiers who were still holding their ground atop the city walls.
And those five spirit stars radiating a faint light, a sense of powerlessness rose in his heart.
His soldiers have suffered thousands of casualties, yet the city walls still stand, and the morale of the Ling Kingdom's garrison remains high.
"Pass down the order to retreat temporarily."
Wu Bailie sighed helplessly and gave the order to retreat.
He knew that continuing the direct assault would only result in the soldiers dying in vain, so he had to find a new breakthrough.
With Wu Bailie's order, the soldiers of Gu Xuanchao began to retreat in an orderly manner.
They dragged their weary bodies, covered in wounds and filled with dejection, and slowly left the battlefield.
The soldiers of the Ling Kingdom on the city wall saw Gu Xuanchao retreating.
They were all exhausted and collapsed on the city wall, unable to cheer up at all.
Today's defense of the city has resulted in heavy losses for them, with more than four thousand brothers killed or wounded.
Although Gu Xuanchao has temporarily retreated, if they attack again tomorrow, will they be able to hold out?
The five spirit stars and their generals were also quite helpless when they saw the soldiers on the city wall.
Although they paid a considerable price, they felt it was all worth it to protect this land.
"Today's battle was made possible by everyone's joint efforts," the old general said, panting, as he thanked the others.
He knew that everyone here deserved credit for the successful defense of the city today.
“Yes, we are a team. Only by uniting as one can we defeat a powerful enemy,” Qi Lingxing nodded in agreement.
In the days that followed, the Ling Kingdom began to repair its city walls and reorganize its military, preparing for the next battle.
Meanwhile, the five spiritual stars went into seclusion to cultivate and improve their strength, hoping to play a greater role in future battles.
Meanwhile, in Gu Xuanchao's camp, Wu Bailie was also planning a new offensive.
He knew that the strength of the Spirit Kingdom was not to be underestimated, but he also understood that as long as he found their weakness, he would definitely be able to defeat them.
