Yue Ze looked at the furious Li Xin, and said sternly: "No matter what, Chuan Country And Mo Country has already destroyed the main force of the Chastity Army, we must attack the Xi Tang before the two armies, so, we must finish this battle quickly!"

No matter how poor Zhen Country was, Xi Tang was still the capital. Inside, there was a large hoard of wealth from the Zhen Country, and whoever could enter the Xi Tang first would undoubtedly take possession of the wealth from the Zhen Country for themselves. Yue Ze did not wish for the fat that was already at his lips to be taken by others.

Tang Yin, Ling Shuang, and Li Xin were also thinking the same way. Fortunately, they were much closer to the Xi Tang than the two armies, and only Huaning and the two hindrances of the city remained before them.

After everyone finished discussing their following tactics, they immediately took action. The combined army of the five nations, with a million troops, began to move towards the Huaning.

The Huaning was one of the defensive cities, but it was also a large city with more than one hundred fifty thousand defending troops. The main force was the Zhen Country's Middle General, Zhao Huan.

Zhao Huan could be considered a great general with outstanding achievements in Zhen Country. He was born in an ordinary family, but was able to sit in the position of Middle General despite being a powerful hereditary figure. This showed just how extraordinary his ability was.

Li Hong had placed him in the Huaning, with the obvious intention of hoping that he would be able to create another miracle and help him tide through the allied army's advance to the west.

Although the defense of Huaning was not weak and the main general was also a famous general in terms of Zhen Country, with an army of a million people, how could they put a mere set of town in their eyes?

After the allied forces reached the Huaning, before the camp was even ready, Yue Ze and Li Xin impatiently suggested that the entire army begin a fierce attack on the Huaning.

Tang Yin and Li Xin had taken the initiative to challenge their opponents. He allowed the An and Huan armies to take the lead while the Feng, Yu and Zhen Qi armies took the lead.

Yue Ze and Li Xin did not even put Huaning in their eyes, since Tang Yin had arranged for the two of them to be the vanguard, the two of them could not help but accept the offer.

Very quickly, under the command of Yue and Li, the An and Huan armies began to attack Huaning City with all their might.

Before the soldiers of the two armies advanced, they used all of the Trebuchet s in their respective armies. In order to attack the defending army and the city defense, the two Ann Country And Hui Country armies especially borrowed a hundred or so City-breaking Crossbow s from the Feng Army.

Under the continuous attacks of the Trebuchet, the walls of the Huaning bloomed everywhere, and the arrow battles that were smashed and shot through could be seen everywhere.

After a long while of fierce attacks, only then did An and Huan's soldiers line up in a neat square formation and start to advance towards Huaning City.

When the distance between the Ann Army's square formation and the wall of the Huaning was less than twenty meters, the Trebuchet and the City-breaking Crossbow behind stopped their firing.

As soon as they stopped, the Chastity Army soldiers who had already hidden themselves under the city walls rushed up to the city walls and began to fight back fiercely against the two armies, An and Huan, who were just inches away from the city walls.

Zhen Jun's arrows were exceptionally fierce, wave after wave of arrows were shot, the dense pressure of Arrow Rain covered the heavens and the earth, and at the same time, the Trebuchet in the city had already started to activate, smashing the huge stone bullets into the allied army's troops.

The troops of An and Huan started their counterattack as well. Archers fired arrows at the city walls, shielding the soldiers who were climbing up the ladder to the city walls.

The two sides' fire was fierce and cruel, the defending army was in a high position, and with the arrow stack as cover, they naturally had a huge advantage. The Ann Country And Hui Country and the two armies outside the city were different, as all the soldiers were exposed to the arrows of the Chastity Army, and countless of people died from the arrows.

But this time, the two armies that were attacking the city appeared to be very strong. It was mainly because Yue Ze and Li Xin had already given the order to kill, so the entire army could only move forward and not retreat.

The two of them did not want their country's army to be seen as useless. If they could not seize this opportunity to show their true strength, then they might not have the chance to show it again in the future.

It was precisely because of this mentality that the two Ann Country And Hui Country armies gave their all in the siege battle.

If the two armies had had such strong desire to win and a will to fight, then they would have obtained many victories in the battle of chastity. Now that they knew their limits, they had coincidentally met the famous general Zhao Huan.

On top of the city wall, Zhen Xing had first prepared a large number of wooden planks and bamboo poles. When the allied army outside the city released arrows, not only did the Chastity Army reduce the damage with the planks and defenses, they could also take materials from nearby, pulling the arrows nailed to the planks and reflecting back the enemy. When the allied forces lifted the ladders, the Chastity Army used their bamboo poles to push away the escalades, not giving them a chance to climb up. At the same time, the rolling wood and lumps of stones on top of the city walls continuously fell down like snow, hitting the rear of the Trebuchet in the rear of the city.

The siege began in the morning and continued all the way until noon. The army of more than four hundred thousand people, who had a total of four hundred thousand Ann Country And Hui Country, was sent to guard outside the city. Not only were they unable to accomplish anything, they even suffered heavy casualties.

With the battle having reached this stage, Yue Ze and Li Xin who were spectating were anxious, cold sweat trickling down their foreheads. A mere Huaning City, with a garrison army of just over a hundred thousand, why was it so difficult to fight? How could the four hundred thousand strong army not be able to break through?

The two of them could not understand no matter how much they thought about it. Tang Yin glanced at the two of them, seeing that the two had no intention to retreat, and wanted to continue attacking, he secretly nodded his head, then shook it.

He nodded because the two of them finally had the courage to lead their men into battle. Shaking his head, he felt that the two of them were too shameless. They knew that they couldn't beat them, but they still insisted on fighting.

He pondered for a moment, then said indifferently: "Elder Royal Brother Yue, Royal Brother Li?"

Yue Ze and Li Xin acted as if they did not hear anything, their eyes still staring fixedly at the battlefield in front of them. Tang Yin could only raise his volume and call for the two of them.0

"Huh?" At this time, the two of them finally regained their senses, and with a face brimming with emotion, they both looked at Tang Yin and asked: "Brother Wang, what can I do for you?"

Tang Yin said in a serious tone: "Don't fight anymore, our army has travelled here from afar and is exhausted, but the enemy troops are waiting for them and are fully prepared. If we force our way through, not only will we not get any results, we will even cause more casualties!"

Yue Ze and Li Xin had already formed the intention to retreat, but the two of them did not wish to do so.

Li Xin frowned, and said: "Younger brother Wang, now that you have attacked forcefully for so long, the defending troops have suffered heavy losses. If we retreat now, wouldn't that give the enemy a breather? From my point of view, we should all go out and take down the Huaning! "

Did the enemy suffer heavy losses? Why didn't I see it? Tang Yin snickered in his heart, he could only see that the casualties of the two Ann Country And Hui Country armies were extremely great, and the corpses under the city walls were already piled up to the height of a meter.

"Let's retreat first. It won't be too late to attack after we're done with the rest!"

Without waiting for Yue Ze and Li Xin to reply, Ling Shuang said: "Royal Brother, since we have been attacking for so long, it is truly a pity to retreat now. We can just follow Royal Brother Yue and Li's orders and go all out, surrounding and attacking Huaning from all four sides, even if it is an iron wall, it will not be able to stop our million strong army!"

Tang Yin frowned, although his side had a lot of troops, the defense of the city wasn't weak either. Furthermore, as his side had travelled so far, the entire army was exhausted, while the Chastity Army was at their peak, attacking from all sides right now was not a wise move.

Thinking about that, Tang Yin glanced behind him again, and laughed bitterly to himself. Their side had not even built their own camp, yet they had chosen to attack with their entire army.

Seeing that he had remained silent, Ling Shuang faintly said: "Of the four kings, three have already decided to send out their entire army. Could it be that Royal Brother intends to stubbornly choose to retreat?"

Hearing that, Tang Yin immediately understood that Ling Shuang was still angry at him.

Yue Ze and Li Xin could also sense the gunpowder in her words, and anxiously tried to smooth things over: "Brother Wang's considerations are not unreasonable, after the entire army is rested and recuperated, we can attack, and we will have a 90% chance of victory. However, our top priority right now is to take over Xi Tang before Chuan Country And Mo Country and not waste too much time here. So, if we want to rest, we can only wait until after we take down Xi Tang.

After all, they still had to attack with their entire army right now. Tang Yin revealed a wry smile, three of the four kings had the same opinion, if he continued to obstruct them, they would become too tyrannical, and too unpopular.

He no longer objected, and smiled indifferently, shrugged and said: "Since everyone feels that we should go all out now, let's continue fighting, but, there is one thing that I have to remind everyone, even if we can take down Huaning this time, our casualties will not be small."

Yue Ze and Li Xin looked at each other, but did not dare reply. Ling Shuang snorted and said: "Royal Brother should also understand, casualties are inevitable when war breaks out."

Tang Yin looked at her deeply, nodded, and said no more.

Under the insistence of the three kings, Ling Shuang, Li Xin and Li Xin, the alliance army changed their attacks from the Ann Country And Hui Country to the entire army.

The Ann Army s and Huan Army s continued to attack the west, the Feng Army s focused on the south, the Chastity Army focused on the east, and the Yu Army s focused on the north.

Just as Ling Shuang had said, no matter how strong the defense of the city was, and how tenacious the defending troops were, their strength was limited. There was a qualitative difference in strength between the allied army and the entire city.

When the allied forces launched their four pronged assault, the defending troops of Huaning immediately showed their lack of manpower, and were stretched to their limits.

Especially the two sides where Feng Army and the Chastity Army were in the lead, they were occasionally broken through the city walls by the soldiers of the two armies. Although the defending armies resisted desperately, repeatedly sending the Feng Army and the Chastity Army back down the city walls, he himself had paid a heavy price.

At the critical moment, Zhao Huan displayed a decisive and calm side of his body. He urgently summoned all of the citizens of Huaning City to participate in the defense of the city and defend the allied army.
