Chapter 13: .The first siege

"Soon, you will naturally understand." Zhang Dongyun said casually.
The old blood shadow demon replied: "Yes, I would like to follow your majesty's teachings."
After a short pause, he tentatively asked: "Your Majesty, the people outside the city have already entered Baiyunyuan. I believe they will find Chang'an City soon..."
"A few little bugs, don't care." Ming Tonghui, the "evil emperor" transformed by Zhang Dongyun, has a casual tone.
The old blood shadow demon smiled: "This is natural. I blame the old slave for not doing things well. Otherwise, how could it alarm your majesty..."
The old demon was even more curious about the words his Majesty had said about his recovery from his injury at this moment, and he was puzzled for a while.
Outside of Chang'an, in Baiyunyuan, the Tang army was in full swing and opened the way.
Barren mountains and wild ridges, primitive jungles, even with a large number of soldiers working together, they can barely open a rough road.
In the mountains and forests, another group of people cautiously avoided Tang Jun's outpost, observing Tang Jun in the distant brigade.
They are from the Hanshan School.
The Baiyunyuan in Longling has changed dramatically, shocking the surrounding area.
The Hanshan Sect, as a local snake in the southern foot of Longling, had its own disciple missing before. Naturally, like the Perak Sect, they sent people into the mountain early to investigate.
Later, they ran into Hui Tianyu who had left Chang'an City.
The elders of the Hanshan School were shocked after hearing what Hui Tianyu described.
They came to Bai Yunyuan and hid beside them, quietly observing Tang Jun entering the mountain, aiming at the strange city that suddenly appeared.
"It's the deputy under the command of Xuanwu General Du Kun, General Gao Qi, General Fenwei, and the young master Du Yifan, the son of Du Kun." A middle-aged man said in a low voice.
An old man next to him slowly nodded: "The hall master of Shanhutang, he has all his subordinates."
"There are more than two thousand people, right?" The middle-aged man frowned, "Du Kun himself is busy leading troops to suppress the civil unrest. Has his son and Gao Qi brought out almost all the people left behind?"
The old man looked at the silhouettes of people moving in the distant mountains and forests:
"If Tianyu said that there are really masters in Chang'an City, then two thousand people are nothing. The key is how many people from Du Kun's Xuanwu Army have come."
Hearing the words, the middle-aged man showed a solemn expression of fear.
The Xuanwu general Du Kun had many soldiers under his command.
The army is everywhere, and local forces like Hanshan School, Shanhutang, and Perak Sect are naturally unable to resist.
But for the stronger, the mortal army does not pose a deadly threat.
It was Du Kun or Tang Jun's elite that made them wary.
An army composed entirely of a large number of martial arts practitioners.
Only the warriors of the first and second realms have extremely strong physical strength, surpassing ordinary people, and can control the strong bows and crossbows that ordinary soldiers can hardly pull.
Even if the quasi-head is not as good as the marksman who specializes in this way, his vision and arm strength in martial arts are not bad.
If there are warriors in the third and fourth levels to join them, a group of people will open a volley of bows and crossbows, which can completely threaten the powerful who are higher than them.
Xuanwu General Du Kun had a Xuanwu Chinese Army under his command.
Although the number is limited, the combat effectiveness is extremely terrifying.
The old blood shadow demon was hurt by their arrows.
"We can't get closer, otherwise it's easy to be found." The old man whispered.
The middle-aged man nodded.
After hesitating for a while, he couldn't help asking: "Uncle Master, you let Tianyu leave to do the errand ordered by Chang'an City, this..."
"It's just raising some well-bred saplings for livestock. It doesn't involve weapons and medicinal materials. It shouldn't be a big problem. Let him do it first."
The old man said slowly: "In the meantime, let's confirm the sacredness of this city and the people in it."
The middle-aged man showed hesitation on his face: "Forget the truth over there..."
The old man pondered for a moment:
"If this city of Chang'an is truly a big climate as Tianyu said, we might not be able to take the opportunity to get rid of the view of forgetting the truth.
Taking a step back, we may become a bridge between Wangzheng Temple and Chang'an City, and build a bridge for them.
If Tianyu reads it wrong, there is nothing wrong here, then..."
The old man said, shaking his head slightly.
The middle-aged man's expression also became calm.
Both of them stopped talking, only silently observing Tang Jun going deep into Bai Yunyuan.
Finally, the army crossed the valley and gradually approached the mysterious male city.
"Report, there is indeed a city in the valley. The wall is about three miles from north to south, two miles from east to west, and about four feet high."
The sentry reported to General Fenwei Gao Qi: "It's just..."
Gao Qi, who looked like a middle-aged man, glanced at the other person: "What can I do to hesitate?"
The sentry replied, "Thanks to the general, the gates are all open."
Gao Qi frowned.
The hall master of Shanhutang next to him was also puzzled: "Did we not find us here? No, the demon was obviously shot by us and ran away. Didn't he return to the city to report?"
On the other side, Du Yifan smiled and said, "If you don't worry, just don't walk through his gate."
He patted the huge ballista next to him, grinning and said, "Let's open another door on his city wall!"
"Shaoan, don't be impatient." Gao Qi shook his head, walked out of the dense forest, looking at Chang'an City from a distance.
His figure began to rise slowly, floating in the air with his own strength, and gradually rising into the air, overlooking the city from above.
Du Yifan saw it below and was envious: "When I reach the realm of flying generals, I will definitely fly into the air to play."
The hall master of Shanhutang beside him smiled, disapproving of Du Gongzi's declaration.
But the hall master looked at General Gao in mid-air, and he was impressed.
He himself is the fourth realm of martial arts, the realm of brave warriors, and his figure can glide short distances in mid-air.
But if you want your figure to hang in the air, such as stepping on the ground, you must, like Gao Qi, reach the fifth realm of martial arts, the realm of flying generals.
At this level, the power of the warrior is as powerful as the wind, and he can fly freely at low altitude in a short time, and he can even take people into the air together.
Du Yifan rushed into the air and shouted: "Uncle Gao, take me up and have a look."
Gao Qi didn't comment on this, just carefully observing the situation in the distant city of Chang'an.
After a long while, he fell to the ground with a slightly strange expression:
"There is no one in the city, and it's empty, except for a hall in the center of the city, there are no other buildings."
The hall master of Shanhutang frowned: "Is such a calm appearance, is it true that I am in the chest?"
"It may also be a bluff." Du Yifan snorted.
He looked aside Gao Qi: "Uncle Gao, let's go in, the elixir must be hidden in that palace."
Gao Qi was silent, and after a while he spoke:
"The situation is abnormal and the enemy's condition is unknown. We should be more careful."
Du Yifan said anxiously: "Uncle Gao..."
Gao Qi raised his hand to stop him from speaking, and then ordered his soldiers:
"Don't enter the city first, everyone, Zhang Gong shoots upside down and prepares."
With the sound of the bowstrings, many Tang Jun opened their bows and pulled their crossbows, with their arrows pointing diagonally upward.
He rose into the air again, and stared down at the city:
"Shoot three rounds, let go!"
