With Qin Qing's order, the siege began.

The new cannons of the Yin-Yang Sect roared, and the "phoenix-eyed animals" that fell to the ground and bloomed out of the cannon barrel, landed on the city wall, exploded potholes and burned flames.

The city walls of the Imperial Capital City are different from those of Yuguan. The base of the city is made of granite. The two walls are made of large bricks, and the bricks are mixed with lime, glutinous rice or sour rice juice and tung oil mixed into slurry. They are extremely strong. At this moment, although some of the city walls inevitably show a decadent state due to age, the overall state is still in good condition. In addition, under the feet of the emperor, in order to take care of the face of the court, they will be repaired every few years. Therefore, it is very unrealistic to use a trencher or a solid iron bomb to collapse the city wall. At most, it is to destroy the battlements and towers.

Think about it, the city wall is as wide as a road, with an average width of about four meters, which can accommodate six horses in parallel without being crowded. Only such a city wall can place crossbows and other cities guarding equipment. The essence of the city wall is to rammed earth and bricks, not a thin brick wall. Looking at the depth of the city gate, it is not difficult to destroy the bricks outside with a catapult and artillery. If you want to penetrate four meters of rammed earth, that is something that immortals can do.

So if you want to capture a mighty city like the Imperial Capital, you either have an insider who takes the initiative to open the door or climbs up the city wall.

Compared with solid iron bombs, Taiping Sect’s special "Phoenix Eyes" can explode and have greater power. However, it is difficult to open a gap in a short period of time. Even if a gap is barely exploded, it will not be very large. Therefore, the key function of the artillery is to destroy most of the city-guarding equipment, destroy the city towers and battlements, and thus cover the soldiers to attack the city wall.

However, Qin Qing only ordered the firing of artillery, but he had been slow to order the city to be attacked with a ladder.

Qin Qing was waiting for the Confucian people to appear. These people would not sit idly by and watch the outer city fall. Now they are siegeing the city in full, which is just a waste of time.

Sure enough, after the second round of artillery attacks, the people from the Confucian Sect finally appeared on the top of the city, and the leader was the old man Long.

When the whistling shells flew towards Old Man Long, Old Man Long did not move. The shells suddenly stopped when they were three feet away from Old Man Long. It was clearly seen that the shells were still rotating rapidly, but they could not move forward at all. There were cracks on the surface. Below the cracks were red light like magma, but they could not explode.

After a moment, the red color inside the shell gradually dimmed and turned into a dark patch. The shell no longer rotated, and then it fell to the ground and made a crisp sound.

This is the method of a immortal person.

Old Man Long didn't even look at it, and looked out of the city. He looked at Qin Qing for a moment from a very long distance, and then turned his gaze to Li Xuandu, who was not far from Qin Qing.

On the left side of Li Xuandu is Qin Su. Today, she wore a black suit for the first time. She did not hold the "Three Treasures and Responsibility" in her hand, but was leaning on the "Eternal Staff" of the national teacher, which was a bit more solemn and murderous than usual.

Located on the right side of Li Xuandu is Ning Yi. Many people choose to stand on Li Xuandu's side because of various interests, love and other reasons. Ning Yi chose Li Xuandu because of like-mindedness, especially when Li Xuandu had not made a fortune. So Li Xuan is very grateful for this love and always regards Ning Yi as his right-hand man, and many major events are handed over to Ning Yi.

Ning Yi is already in her fortunate years. She wears a double sword on her waist, which is both the elegance of a scholar and the vicissitudes of a weather-bearing life. It is like a pot of old wine that has been stored for a long time, which has a very "taste".

On the left side of Qin Su was Shangguan Wan, who was also dressed in black. She held the "Yinyang Sword" in one hand and the "Yinyang Earth Yin Candle and Dragon Seal" in the other hand, with a serious expression.

On the right side of Ning Yi is the great master Zhang Luanshan, carrying two swords. Perhaps because of his ups and downs, his mentality is even more peaceful, and there is even a faint smile on his face.

Li Xuandu opened his hands, and the "Yin and Yang Immortal Clothes" on his body were automatically whistled without wind.

Then Li Xuandu slowly took off the air, and finally looked at the old man Long standing on the wall.

During this process, there were arrows on the top of the city, and the projectiles shot towards Li Xuandu. However, in front of Li Xuandu, there seemed to be an invisible wall. All the arrows and projectiles hit this invisible wall and were all destroyed.

Next to the old man Long are three hermits, Red Sheep, Golden Chansou, and White Deer.

The golden toads lowered his eyes and habitually sniffed his sniff.

The Red Sheep Man narrowed his eyes and looked at the black armored tide outside the city with no end, calm and composed.

Mr. Bai Lu put his hands behind him and muttered to himself, no one could hear it.

Old Man Long took a step forward, and there was a golden light flowing around his body, like tiny dragons, with a terrifying momentum. He was as motionless as a mountain, and it was not an ordinary mountain, but Kunlun, the ancestor of all mountains and the origin of the dragon veins.

At the same time, sword shadows also appeared on Li Xuandu's "Yin and Yang Immortal Clothes". Several young Confucian disciples were attracted by these sword shadows. They couldn't help but look at them and instantly became immersed in them. Then they were dizzy and felt dizzy. I didn't know how many black shadows were intertwined in front of them, and they almost fell to the ground.

Old Man Long said in a deep voice: "Below the Heavenly Realm, retreat from the city wall."

After hearing the words of Old Man Long that were arrogant and arrogant, a group of Confucian disciples left the place immediately without saying a word.

Old Man Long looked at Li Xuandu again: "In the battle of Qixia Mountain that day, he failed to decide the outcome with Mr. Li. If you fight again today, there will always be a result."

Old Man Long's voice was not loud, but it spread across hundreds of miles, and everyone could hear it clearly.

Li Xuandu replied the same way: "That's right."

Both sides knew very well that Li Xuandu had made great progress in this realm and had entered the wonderful realm of the Nascent Soul, which was not inferior to Old Man Long. However, Old Man Long's advantage lies in his backing with the Imperial Capital. Although he lacked the Bohai Mansion, "King Su" could still exert 90% of his power.

However, even so, Old Man Long could not defeat Li Xuandu and Qin Qing's joint efforts. The last time in Qixia Mountain, Qin Qing led his army to the north, and Dan Taiyun also advanced west tacitly, which led to a one-on-one battle between Old Man Long and Li Xuandu.

Today is very different. Dan Taiyun just wants to delay the process of Liaodong's unification of the world, rather than sincerely helping the Confucian sect to compete with the Dao Sect. Therefore, she will not participate in the death battle between the two sides. In the decisive battle, the Confucian sect will lack a bargaining chip to restrain Qin Qing. When this determines the direction of the world's general trend, Qin Qing will definitely take action himself. Moreover, this is not a Yuxu sword fighting. Everything is aimed at winning, and there is no fair fight.

Li Xuan was very curious about what means did Old Man Long have to check and balance Qin Qing.

Whether it is restraining, procrastinating, or other methods, if it is useful, the Confucian Sect still has to fight, and hope that Old Man Long will beat Li Xuandu. If it is useless, there is no chance of winning at all. He can only fall into the situation where Old Man Long is besieged by Li Xuandu and Qin Qing.

In fact, not only Li Xuan thought so, but those who could truly participate in this war, whether Confucianism or Taoism, thought so.

Bai Xiushang did not stand in the Taoist camp, but stood beside Qin Qing, just as Qin Su, the eldest daughter of the Qin family, did not follow her father, but stood beside Li Xuandu.

It is undeniable that both marriages have a strong marriage nature. This is the fact whether the parties involved are in love or not.

Taoist gates can be divided into Jiangbei Dao Gate, Northeast Dao Gate, Jiangnan Dao Gate, and Northwest Dao Gate. In addition to the Northwest Dao Gate, the Qin and Li marriage represent the alliance between Jiangbei Dao Gate and Northeast Dao Gate. Bai Xiushang is the representative of Jiangnan Dao Gate. Her marriage to Qin Qing is the alliance between Northeast Dao Gate and Jiangnan Dao Gate, and there are also Jiangnan families who do not belong to the Confucian camp. They need an empress from Jiangnan who comes from Jiangnan to speak in the future temple.

If according to Qin Qing's "Yin and Yang Pisces", the power represented by Qin Qing is "white fish", and the power represented by Li Xuandu is "black fish", then Qin Su is the white dot in the "black fish", and the white embroidered skirt is the black dot in the "white fish". You have me and I have you, so that Pisces are truly combined in one place and cannot be easily divided.

Of course, it would be even better if the parties involved had a emotional foundation, but it would undoubtedly make the alliance stronger. There is no need to say that Li Xuandu and Qin Su. Qin Qing and Bai Xiushang also had a passionate relationship when they were young, and Qin Su's word "Su" has a lot to do with Bai Xiushang.

Qin Qing held the head of the sword on his waist with his palm, rubbed it gently, and asked Bai Xiushang beside him: "It seems that my feeling last night was not an illusion. Suyi, what do you think Old Man Long's backhand will be?"

Bai Xiushang whispered: "What kind of hermit master is hidden inside the Confucian Sect? It's just that for some reason that he can't leave the imperial capital, so he didn't show up until now? I can only guess this way."

Qin Qing did not comment.

Nowadays, Confucianism and Taoism have a dilemma.

Whether it is the Taoist master, Li Xuandu or Qin Qing, you cannot rashly enter the imperial capital to stop the Confucian people's planning in advance or investigate, because there is a large formation in the imperial capital that can suppress immortal people.

But the people of the Confucian Sect cannot always hide in the imperial capital, because the formation cannot stop the rolling army, and they must defend the enemy outside the city.

This led to the Taoist sect having no idea what Confucian sects did and could only guess at this time.

The Confucian Sect is not much better. Since the death of Ziyanshan people, they have completely lost the capital for field battles outside the city and can only defend the city.

Huo Sishi had retreated from the city and came to a high tower in the city. He could still look out the general situation outside the city through "Looking Thousand Miles". The eyes of this important minister of the court looked dark and complicated. No one expected that the peace talks between Liaodong and the court took less than one night. The King of Yan only "bargained" once, and the negotiations had broken down. Qin Qing directly began to attack the city.

That means that Liaodong has no hope for peace talks. If the city is broken, the lives of the nobles and powerful people in the city will be...
