They had indeed run out of black powder.

After seven days and seven nights of bombing, more than half of Rong Jun's troops were lost. During this period, they climbed up the city wall twice, but were beaten back again.

Relying on the strategy of attacking from both sides, strict deployment of troops, and outstanding leadership, the enemy's troops were defeated by nearly 300,000 with only 30,000 troops. This was an unprecedented record in the thousands of battles fought by An Guo in the past few hundred years.

This would be a huge victory in any battle!

The Battle of Dongling is destined to add a significant chapter to the history books.

But in Xiao Yun's opinion, it was too slow, everything was too slow!

"Third Prince, they are attacking again!"

These Northern Jue people were like mad dogs, attacking in turns non-stop. They had not had a good night's sleep since the war began.

The third prince was even worse. The last time he slept was three days ago, and he only slept for two hours.

Now that their black gunpowder has been used up and they only have the last batch of arrows left, and reinforcements have not arrived yet, General Tang can't help but feel a little worried.

Xiao Wei looked at the Northern Jue soldiers rushing towards them, stepping on the corpses under their feet and rushing towards them through the blood.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

His eyes swept towards Rong Jun who was sitting on the general's seat in the distance. He was waving the command flag, directing their entire army to attack with confidence of victory and determination to fight to the death.

They all knew that this was the final war, and success or failure depended on this one move!

Xiao Yan took off his black fur coat, drew the soft sword from his waist, and sank his energy into his dantian. His deep and powerful voice reached the ears of every soldier:

"Soldiers, this will be the last battle of Dongling. Today's battle is about the life and death of Anguo! Once Dongling City is lost, Beijue's East and North Route will march straight into the interior of Anguo. At that time, they will swing their swords at our relatives and friends. The millions of people behind us will be slaughtered by Beijue, and we will die without a burial place!

We are the warriors of An Guo, the first line of defense of An Guo, and also the last line of defense!

Today, some people will die, and some people will not live to see the sun tomorrow, but the country of An will remember you, the people of the country of An will be grateful to you, your names will be engraved on the military monument of the country of An and be revered by people, your military exploits will bless your descendants, and the country of An will treat your parents, wives, children and grandchildren well.

Soldiers! Take up your weapons and follow me to defend Anguo, protect our relatives and friends, protect the defenseless old, weak, women and children, and protect the millions of people in Anguo. Today, I will fight side by side with you, and share life and death! Follow me and kill the enemy!"

"Kill the enemy!"

All the soldiers shouted in unison, their voices shaking the sky.

A strong wind blew past, making the flags flutter.

The Northern Jue soldiers climbed up the city wall, as densely packed as ants.

"Get the log ready!"

A thick log rolled down from the city wall and smashed down the soldiers who had climbed up the wall. Blood splattered everywhere and gushed onto the wall. The wall, which was already stained red with blood, now had another layer of dark red.

Xiao Yun's black eyes swept straight towards Rong Jun who was sitting on the general's seat, his eyes sharp.

Capture the thief first and capture the king!

They can't just wait on the city wall for them to attack. Today, everything should end!

"General Tang, General Hu, you take 20,000 men to defend the city walls. Do not let any of the Northern Jue people in. Everyone else, follow me and kill the enemy!"

Xiao Yan said this and threw down a long rope.

Seeing this, General Tang realized what Xiao Yan was going to do, and his eyes widened in horror.

"Third Prince, you absolutely cannot do this!"

The Third Prince is the commander-in-chief. It is unreasonable for the commander-in-chief to personally fight the enemy until the last moment.

If something unexpected really happened to him, no one in Dongling City would be able to control the situation.

"It will be too passive to wait for them to attack. If they really climb up the city wall, Dongling City will be completely lost! Soldiers, follow me to kill the enemy!"

"Third Prince, I will take care of killing the enemy. I will guard the city from above."

Xiao Yan looked at him and said:

"General Tang has rich combat experience. I will not have to worry about the defense of the city if I leave it to him."

General Tang was about to say something when Xiao Yan interrupted him.

"This is a military order!"

The word "military order" suppressed all of General Tang's words. His eyes were slightly red, and he clasped his hands and said:

"I will obey your orders and will not let the Northern Jue barbarians take even a single step beyond the city wall!"

With rolling logs clearing the way and arrows providing cover, Xiao Yun reached out and grabbed the reins, leading the way and being the first to slide down the hundred-foot-high city wall.

"master!"

Feng Xin shouted, threw down a rope and jumped down.

On the city wall, densely packed Anguo soldiers jumped down grabbing the reins.

"Why did all those Anguo people jump down?"

"Are they seeking death? If they come down from the city wall, killing them would be as easy as stepping on an ant."

"What a guts! We can't attack the city wall, but they are so stupid as to come down. Brothers, charge!"

"rush……"

After landing, Xiao Yun looked at the Beijue soldiers who were rushing towards them with swords in hand. Without any hesitation, he rushed into the enemy camp with his sword in hand. His sword skills were sharp and he killed the enemy with one strike.

Seeing this, the soldiers' morale was boosted and they followed him into battle.

For a moment, the battlefield was filled with the sound of killing and blood flowed like a river.

As a member of the Northern Jue Army, Rong Jun was not a coward. When he saw Xiao Yun coming down from the city wall, all the anger and humiliation he had accumulated over the past few days gathered in his chest, and he couldn't help but kill him.

The general next to him saw him pick up the sword and advised:

"Your Highness, you are the commander-in-chief and you cannot leave your seat. We have a large number of people on our side. Now that they have come down from the city wall, it is only a matter of time before we kill them."

Rong Jun heard this and said angrily:

"Xiao Yun has the guts to get down from the city wall. If I don't dare to go up to fight him now, won't I be laughed at by the world? They will laugh at Beijue Yuanliang for being nothing but a coward!"

The general hesitated to speak.

Rong Jun threw the command flag in his hand to him, raised his sword, stepped on the shoulders of a group of soldiers and jumped in front of Xiao Yan.

"Xiao Yan, I respect you as a man. Let's have a fair fight. Before you die, I will let you see what a true Northern Jue warrior is! The Northern Jue spirit!"

Xiao Yan held a bloody sword in his hand and pointed it at him:

"I respect you as a man and will make sure you die quickly and without any pain!"

The swords collided, creating sparks.

The two men exchanged moves, each one deadly.

The two men were moving so fast that everyone could only see two shadows chasing each other, and hear clanging sounds in their ears.

The other An Guo soldiers were basically fighting one against three. Those with good skills would help other soldiers after dealing with the person in front of them, while some were directly besieged and had their bellies pierced by spears.

The marshals of both sides were fighting fiercely. Rong Jun looked at Xiao Yun and said:

"Third Prince, today is the day you die. It would be better for me to cut your throat with a knife and relieve your pain."
