However, he did not expect that when he tried again, it was snatched away by He Basheng.

Previously, the Soul Seizing Technique couldn’t hold the opponent for long, and he broke free in an instant.

‘No wonder he is a Grandmaster close to the second realm of Inborn, his spirit and willpower are much stronger than those at the first realm.’

Lu Yuan secretly sighed, and then the True Fire around him reignited, his hands forming a Dao Law seal.

He was preparing to strike again when He Basheng’s divine bow broke and his arm was injured, taking advantage of the perfect opportunity to kill him.

However, seeing his posture, He Basheng cast a deep glance at Lu Yuan, and then silently soared up, his entire body quickly flying down from the city wall, heading towards the distant Zhou army main camp.

He really escaped.

This sudden reaction left Lu Yuan slightly bewildered. By the time he wanted to chase, the opponent had already left the city wall.

Underneath, a large number of Zhuo People soldiers climbed the city wall like ants, one after another.

Seeing this situation, Lu Yuan didn’t dare to chase the opponent into the main army.

In the end, he reluctantly threw out a dozen True Flames, killing hundreds of Zhou People soldiers who were enthusiastically climbing the wall and forcing them all back before leaving with regret.

He Basheng’s defeat and escape were a tremendous blow to the morale of the Zhou army.

He is none other than the Military God of Zhou Country. His defeat at this time is like Bai Mengyang’s defeat in Yue Country.

What happened the last time Bai Mengyang was defeated?

The more than 100,000-strong army entering Xichuan to quell the rebellion ended up being wiped out. Only Bai Mengyang managed to escape alone.

Although He Basheng’s defeat and escape this time did not lead to such consequences, the situation was not much better.

As a result, the ensuing assault on the city by the Zhou army lasted only a short while before they retreated at the sound of the horn in the rear.

Perhaps it was because Lu Yuan had revealed his true identity as a Cultivator today, which dealt a tremendous shock and deterrence on He Basheng. In the next half day, even the entire night, the Zhou People didn’t continue attacking the city.

The soldiers in the city, who had been under constant attack and tense for several days, finally got a moment to catch their breath.

But on the eighth day, the Zhou People regrouped and sent even more troops, a total of 50,000, to converge on Guann City.

He Basheng also changed his bow and arrow and reappeared in the attacking army.

Not only him, but there was also a white-armored general beside He Basheng, standing with his sword, his eyes gazing at the city wall.

Lu Yuan stood on the city’s head, watching the two men.

As their gazes met, they instantly understood each other’s intentions.

If Lu Yuan didn’t attack, neither would the other party. If he really wanted to bully the ordinary Zhou People soldiers, using the Inborn Grandmaster status,

Then the two Inborn Grandmasters, He Basheng, would not hesitate any longer and would directly attack Lu Yuan together.

Two against one.

Considering the difficulty of dealing with He Basheng alone yesterday, and adding another Inborn Grandmaster on top of that,

Even Lu Yuan felt a terrible headache against such a lineup.

Under the mutual deterrence of the two sides, both were afraid of the fight between them, and everyone had their reservations and concerns.

In the end, neither He Basheng nor Lu Yuan took any action.

As a result, the battle between offense and defense went from a decisive win by the Inborn Grandmasters to a brutal attrition among ordinary soldiers.

Fortunately, the morale of the city soldiers was boosted by yesterday’s victory, and they had time to recuperate for a day and night, allowing both their spirit and physical strength to recover substantially.

In contrast, the Zhou People soldiers outside the city, though still outnumbering the defenders, were not able to recover in time.

After one-day fighting, the Zhou People lost thousands of corpses and retreated in a hurry.

When night came, perhaps to avoid putting too much pressure on Lu Yuan, He Basheng didn’t continue attacking the city as he did in the previous days. Instead, he unexpectedly stopped the drums and rested.

On the ninth day, the Zhou People attacked the city again, fighting again for a day and resting at night.

The same happened on the tenth and eleventh days.

During these continuous battles, the losses of the Zhou People outside the city were heavy, with an estimated more than 100,000 dead bodies lying under the city. However, most of them were civilian workers, and the actual loss of elite soldiers was not significant, only about one or two million.

The situation was similar for Lu Yuan inside the city.

Out of the 30,000 defenders, more than 20,000 were civilian workers, and only 5,000 were Miao Soldiers. However, after the battle, less than 5,000 out of the 30,000 defenders remained.

Fortunately, at this time, reinforcements from the rear had finally arrived.

The troops from Feng City and Taibai’s two governments, totaling 12,000, arrived in Guan City.

These were mostly soldiers or experienced Miao soldiers with strong combat power, all of them being elites. When compared to the exhausted civilian workers, they were much stronger.

Their arrival instantly stabilized the crumbling Guan City. The remaining 5,000 soldiers in the city were also inspired due to the arrival of the reinforcements.

However, the Zhou army outside the city was unable to recover.
