"Sect Master, are these people reliable?" Lei Chengying asked with a little concern.

"I know very well about these people. As long as you make a profit, these people will definitely be used by me, so there is no need to worry."

"Why did the sect leader spend a lot of effort to kill all the people in this mansion? We are not short of money, so it should be no problem to buy a large mansion."

"The Thunder Protector is so confused. If you don't need to have a ready-made one, why do you spend money? Moreover, this family just happened to be the place where we outsiders are so concealing our efforts to cause trouble."

Lei Chengying then realized that the officers and soldiers of Xicheng were carefully checking the residents in the city, fearing that the Westerners would be able to get in. Mao Zixing just took advantage of this to lurk, and Jiang was still so hot that Lei Chengying admired him.

"I heard that the Western Master Hu Zhengyan, the Master Hu of the Westerners, will be here in the past few days. I think the conditions we have set out will definitely make him moved. The days of wealth and prosperity are not far away." After Mao Zixing said this, everyone in black-clad men in the yard were very excited. They were usually chased by these officers and soldiers, and finally they could avenge their former grudges.

Lei Chengying had a ray of conscience, and he was originally disgusted with colluding with the Westerners to deal with the Wei Dynasty people, but on the scene on the city wall that day, he met Yue Ling'er, the "Fairy Lan Ling" who had suffered great humiliation. The enemy was extremely jealous. He knew that it would be difficult for him to defeat her again with his own strength, and he also saw that she seemed to have close contact with the officers and soldiers on the city walls, and the people around him, which made him vent his hatred to the officers and soldiers of Xicheng. Since they were all in the same group, let them all go to hell. I have a clear conscience. Originally, a well-known man had done evil things to sell his country and seek honor because of a little so-called face, which made people sigh.

After that day, Mao Zixing, Lei Chengying and others were just waiting for news quietly in the Ma Mansion. The fight in Xicheng had nothing to do with them. The more miserable the official army beat the Westerners, the more weight they had in their negotiations, so that they could get more favorable conditions from Hu Zhengyan.

The city of Xi was becoming more and more chaotic. The officers and soldiers on the city tower were already in a state of great trouble with the Westerners. Now there is no time to manage the security issues in the city. Although I know that there may be someone in this place to manipulate all this, I am indeed powerless. The Westerners have been siegeing the city more and more frequently in the past few days.

After suffering twice, Tuoba Wuzong directly brought a catapult cart and shot huge stones upwards, shooting at the enemy who made their warriors fall into the sand. The huge rocks flew into the sky. For a moment, the earth and stones splashed, and the people around were suffering. There were countless soldiers who were killed and injured by the huge rocks.

Just after these huge rock rains, the rain of arrows fell from the sky. The huge rock just now had already smashed the cover that could be used to avoid sharp arrows. At this time, the flesh and blood body was completely exposed to the sharp arrows on the opposite side. In a short while, the number of casualties gradually increased. Looking at his soldiers falling down one by one, Zhou Xun felt an indescribable anger. The victory a few days ago made them a little fluttering and even spoke wildly. The Westerners were just like this. After truly seeing the power of the Westerners today, his originally impetuous heart gradually calmed down.

After the arrow rain, the Westerners rushed up again. The moat under the city wall was filled with the bodies of the Westerners and their brothers. The caltrops that were originally thrown away were no longer effective.

The Westerners who were not afraid of death set up a ladder again and swarmed in like ants. Zhou Xun pulled out his big sword and swung over the Westerners who had just climbed over the city wall. The Westerners had not yet gained a foothold, and Zhou Xun cut off the city wall. At this time, the Westerners' rain of arrows had stopped. A Wei Chao soldier who was ambushing the battlements poked his head and stabbed him directly at the Westerners who were still climbing. This soldier may be a recruit who had just recruited, with insufficient combat experience and unstable horse stance under his feet.

Before he could make a fortune, he was directly caught by a powerful Western barbarian who had just climbed up, lifted him up, threw him off the city tower, and shouted out to the sky and earth. Perhaps he was lucky enough to directly hit the Western barbarians who were climbing the cloud ladder. He was not seriously injured. The Western barbarians below went to see the King of Hell. When he was still secretly glad, several other angry Western barbarians raised their steel knives and chopped him into several sections.

There are many new recruits who are as reckless as the one just now among the officers and soldiers guarding the city. In the past few days, the Westerners have been like crazy, attacking one after another. This attack is the third time today.

The situation was completely unforgivable to Zhou Xun's consideration. Whether he could hold on or not. When reinforcements arrived, he was not sure. When he was stunned, a Western barbarian slashed from the side. He could easily avoid the simple knife with his usual combat power, but his physical strength was too severely overdrawn for a few days. When he was hiding back, he accidentally tripped by a corpse. When he was waiting for someone to kill him with his life, a long spear threw him out to relieve the crisis. Looking at Yue Ling'er, who was also killed in blood, he felt an indescribable pain in his heart, and he had actually fallen to the moment of being saved by his former rival.

Since Yue Ling'er learned that Wu Yonglin was still alive, she and the Hongshanzhai masters helped Zhou Xun to defend the city every day. These people cooperated with each other and used several people as a small group to fight each other to kill the enemy, which made Zhou Xun admire him very much when he saw him.

Changjiang, Yueru, and Hongxiu are a small group. The Western-Japanese man who had just thrown the new recruits down the city tower just climbed onto the city wall and was surrounded by three people. Among the three, Hongxiu had the best kung fu, so naturally she attracted the attention of the Western-Japanese man and killed him directly. The Western-Japanese man raised his scimitar and was about to cut off Hongxiu from his waist. Hongxiu jumped up and kicked the man in the nose. For a moment, blood was flowing. The reckless man was anxious and did not care about the short sword that was stabbed in the chest.

Gu, raised Hongxiu with his waist and wanted to throw her down the city. Changjiang and Yueru rolled over and directly cut off the tendons of the Western Barbarians. The moment when the Western Barbarians threw Hongxiu down the city, Hongxiu hooked the man's neck with his left hand, and took him down with force. At the same time, he drew out a short sword and directly destroyed his tricks. Changjiang and Yueru, who came from beside him, had already grabbed Hongxiu's left and right hands from the battlements, and once he tried his best, he brought her up.

"Hey, I'm just in danger." Yue Ru was still scared, her face turned pale.

"Do you have it? Don't you think that we usually practice in this way?" Hongxiu did not take the danger just now seriously. It was the one named Wu who silently changed their original thoughts. It turned out that the power of a small group was so great.

"Be careful." Changjiang pulled Hongxiu, who was still thinking about it, and killed another Western-Japanese soldier who was sneaking into the attack behind him. When the Western-Japanese soldier kicked down Changjiang, who was slightly weak in force and was about to kill him, Hongxiu sideways threw a Xunsword, saving the Yangtze River that sacrificed itself to save him. They just supported each other, one attacked, one defended, and the other attacked the periphery. The intimacy of cooperation made the Western-Japanese soldiers unable to defend and had a headache.

There are many people active on the city walls of small groups like Changjiang, Yueru, and Hongxiu. When they are free, they will teach the new recruit Danzi some ways to save their lives, which is to hand over their backs to their teammates with confidence. These people tried several times according to their methods, and the effect was significant, which greatly improved the combat effectiveness of these new recruit Danzi, which allowed these people to repel the fourth and fifth attacks of the Westerners.

Zhou Xun looked at the gradually retreating Westerners, with a messy head and no joy of victory on his face. Such a battle had to continue. But he had not closed his eyes for several nights. The soldiers who had stopped leaned against the city wall and fell asleep deeply. The cook who had just arrived to deliver the meal told him something that made him feel even more distressed. Their military rations had not lasted for a few days, and perhaps they could only drink porridge later.

Looking at the Westerners who were still alive and had amazing combat power, Zhou Xun was bleeding inside. How long can he last? He was not sure at all. Why have we been holding on for so many days and not seeing the army that the Wei Dynasty came to support for? Have we been given up?

He could not imagine the rest of the officers and soldiers. He wanted to give these officers and soldiers a hope, even if it was a lie, he would persist.

**********

The solemn aura enveloped the entire camp. More and more Westerners began to doubt the necessity of attacking Xicheng. They paid nearly 20,000 Western warriors, but they were unable to take down this small city. They were completely in a deadlock, either moving forward or retreat. The lower-level commanders and soldiers were more and more war-weary. Tuoba Wuzong no longer knew how to soothe the emotions of these soldiers. They needed a victory too much, even a small victory.

When Hu Zhengyan, who was calling for a long time, appeared in front of Tuoba Wuzong with a team of terrified soldiers, he was also shocked. What happened to Master Hu? Did he encounter something special along the way?

When Hu Zhengyan saw Tuoba Wuzong, tears flowed out with excitement. He seemed unwilling to mention some incredible things he encountered along the way. He had had enough of his own team and did not want to pass on these emotions to them, otherwise how should he fight the next battle?

Hu Zhengyan, who was rushing to come, was so happy when he saw Mao Zixing who surrendered from Xicheng. It was really a road ahead. He didn't expect that he had picked such a big advantage as soon as he came. He agreed to all the conditions raised by Mao Zixing. As for whether to fulfill it afterwards, he didn't need to consider so much now.
