ow above him. Under the light of the full moon, a pair of fiery red wings, pulsing with spiritual energy, fluttered gently behind him. A long blade in his hand, adorned with swirling spiritual energy,...After a while, a group of seven returned and reported the intelligence they had gathered to Lu Ye who was waiting there.

As expected, Qianliu City's foundation was much stronger than Dingan's. The Black Ribbon Army had launched three offensives so far, but they hadn't achieved a decisive victory and instead suffered considerable losses on their side.

It was precisely because of this that Hei Jin's squad had previously gone to Ding An to gather supplies, only to be wiped out by Lu Ye, attracting a vanguard of a thousand men who also suffered heavy casualties.

It was precisely because the war here was so intense that Hei Jin had no time to look for An's trouble.

The Black Flag Army is currently resting and recuperating, it seems they are not planning to back down. This is normal, as the Black Flag originated from bandits and throughout their journey, many cities surrendered willingly before they even arrived. However, they suffered heavy losses at the hands of Qian Liu.

How could the leader of the Black Scarf retreat like this As long as they capture Qianliu, all the previous losses would be worth it.

At this time, seeking out Hei Jin would be unwise. Although the over a hundred people he brought all possessed cultivation, their numbers were ultimately limited. They needed to be deployed at the right moment to maximize their effectiveness. After some deliberation, Lu Ye decided to bide his time and wait for an opportune moment. He believed Hei Jin wouldn't make him wait too long.

He ordered everyone to hide in place, and he left alone. No one knew where he went, but after a little while, he returned.

The Black Veil did not keep Lu Ye waiting for too long, just two days after the rest of the group, while resting, a strange commotion came from the direction of Qianliu City.

Lu Ye immediately crouched down, pressing his ear to the ground, and listened carefully.

After a moment, he raised his eyebrows and said in a low voice: “Ready!”

Over a hundred people heard the order and immediately took up their positions.

All the people mounted their horses, their movements were uniform and orderly, their expressions solemn.

"Let's go!" Lu Ye glanced at them, then took the lead and headed towards Qianliu.

Right now, the Black Banner army is laying siege to the city. Huge boulders, burning with firelight, are hurled through the air by catapults, smashing into the walls or falling within the city.

The thick city walls were riddled with craters, and the interior was also heavily damaged. The dead and wounded lay scattered everywhere. Near the walls, a scene of utter hell unfolded.

After half an hour of stone bombardment and another half hour of arrows raining down, Hei Jin finally launched a full-scale attack on the city.

Waves of bandits roared and surged forward, some with makeshift ladders, others with shields held high, their momentum irresistible.

With such an attack, Qian Liu had already resisted several times. This time, of course, it was effortless.

>>>In the city gate tower above Dongmen, Lord Xie Li of Qianliu City stood solemnly. Soldiers rushed in one after another, reporting on the battlefronts from various places. With a few words, he issued orders, and these soldiers quickly left.

Qiulian has been able to withstand the Black Cloth's attacks until now, not only because of the strong foundation of this city, but also because of Xie Li's centralized command and coordination.

It can be said that without the courtesan, Qian Liu City would never have lasted until today.

He stared at the menacing black scarves charging from below. He could clearly see that this was the last attack they had in them. As long as they held this one off, the black scarves would surely retreat. Then, there would be a chance for Qian Liu to catch their breath.

But whether he could truly withstand it, he wasn't completely sure deep down. Such a war had too many factors that could influence the outcome, and even with his exceptional military aptitude, he couldn't fully control the course of events.

All we can do is our best and leave the rest to fate.

A young man's face involuntarily popped into my mind.

>>>

They can only charge a few times on the battlefield before their spiritual energy is depleted, and then they are just sitting ducks.

"My lord, are these the Black Veil people" asked the strategist.

He shook his head, not knowing the origins of these cavalry. However, judging by their posture, they were obviously heading straight towards the rear of the Black Robes.

Shengli's gaze was fixed intently on the approaching cavalry. He knew that in a short time, he would know for sure whether they were friend or foe. It all depended on what happened next between the two sides.

After ten breaths, the two teams collided. Xie Li couldn't help but stiffen.

>

In this single round, five hundred men died, hundreds upon hundreds. They couldn't even stop the cavalry for a moment. Wherever the cavalry passed, the Black Banner army fell like straw.

The strategist exclaimed in astonishment, "Where did these people come from Despite being outnumbered, they are unstoppable, like a bamboo forest breaking through. The leader must possess extraordinary cultivation, and most of the soldiers in their ranks are likely cultivators as well."

Xie Li's eyes shone brightly, finally confirming what had happened two days ago. The elusive young man had arrived, bringing a cavalry unit with him. The only regrettable thing was that the number was simply too small.

"A person from Ding'an" The strategist, upon hearing this, suddenly realized, "Before, I heard that the Black Robes went to harass Ding'an but were defeated there. It seems that Ding'an also understands the principle of 'lips and teeth are connected.' This should only be the vanguard. The main army of Ding'an will probably arrive soon." Thinking this way, the strategist felt a surge of excitement in his heart. If the army from Ding'an could attack the Black Robes from behind and join forces with Qianliu here for an internal and external pincer attack, there would be hope to completely crush the Black Robes.

In the midst of their conversation, the strategist exclaimed in astonishment, “What are they up to”
