Chapter 259: The City Lord is here

The remnant sun went west, and the afterglow of the setting sun stained the sky red, as if it had been penetrated by red blood. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

On the earth, outside Baiyun City, there was a rolling smoke and blood mist, drifting away with the wind, choking his nose.

"Kill!" "Ping Pong!" "Kill!"

"Boom!" "Bang Bang!"

The bones were like mountains, and in the roars of anger and terrible screams, the stumps and broken arms were scattered all over the ground.

The roaring rain of arrows, the boulders falling in the air, and the sudden explosion of the 'thunder', the war is still going on tragically, and the number of casualties is increasing.

From noon to dusk, until nightfall, the battle continued, and there was no intention of stopping.

In front of the Chinese army camp, under the fluttering banner, the general Ouyang Xu stood with his hands in his hands, his brows furrowed slightly, and his eyes looked at the two armies in front of him who were fighting fiercely.

At this moment, an officer ran from the direction of the north city gate.

"General, the weapons of the guards of Baiyun City are too fierce, and the casualties of our army have reached more than 30,000. General Zhou Yong wants his subordinates to come and ask the general what he means, should we first collect our troops and rest and fight again tomorrow?"

"No need to collect troops, continue to attack the city!" Ouyang Xu said indifferently: "This general wants to capture Baiyun City before dawn!"

The officer smiled bitterly and said: "But if this continues, I'm afraid that even if we capture Baiyun City, most of our army will have to be killed or wounded, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to explain to the Imperial City Military Department." ”

"Don't collect the troops, continue to attack the city! Do you need me to repeat it a second time?" Ouyang Xu said coldly, and the murderous aura surging all over his body.

The officer was frightened, and hurriedly nodded: "Yes, yes, my subordinates will go back to convey the general's meaning to General Zhou Yong!"

The battle situation at the gates of Baiyun City in the east, west, north and south was very tragic, and the order issued by Ouyang Xu was to capture Baiyun City at all costs. In just one afternoon, more than 30,000 of the 100,000 reinforcements from the main city of Chiyang had been killed and wounded, nearly 10,000 were killed, and more than 20,000 were wounded. That is to say, the 100,000-strong army lost its combat strength of 30,000 in just one afternoon, and only 70,000 remained. This shows how tragic this war was.

The Chiyang army suffered more than 30,000 casualties, and the situation of the Baiyun City guards fighting against it was not much better, although there were strong munitions and strong city walls, but the number of casualties was estimated to be one or two thousand. Yes, the number of casualties on both sides was close to twenty to one. But don't forget, the number of guards on Baiyun City was only three or four thousand, and nearly half of them were lost at once, and suddenly there were gaps and loopholes in various parts of the city's defense, and the defense of the city suddenly became dangerous.

The crescent moon is like a hook, sprinkling the cold moonlight, and the sky and the earth are hazy.

The night was supposed to be silent, but the walls of Baiyun City were filled with murderous sounds.

"Boom!" "Ping Pong!"

The battle continued, with terrible screams, the whistling of arrows, the clashing of various weapons, and the silent night sky.

In addition to the fighting Chiyang Army and the defenders of Baiyun City, there are also groups of people from the rivers and lakes lurking in a forest near Baiyun City, including people from major families and sects in Chiyang Prefecture, and some stragglers who are ready to fish in troubled waters.

"It's too tragic, this war is terrible!"

"Yes, I thought that Baiyun City was just an ordinary small city, but I didn't expect that under the crazy siege of 100,000 troops, it could hold out for so long!"

"Then who is the White Cloud City Lord, who is so sacred!"

"In terms of city defense, this Baiyun City is probably still above the main city of Chiyang. Those 100,000 troops can be regarded as kicking to the iron plate, but Baiyun City is a small city after all, and it is estimated that it will be broken in a few hours!"

"The 100,000 army has already killed or injured 30,000 or 40,000 people, looking at this situation, if you want to take Baiyun City, it is estimated that you will have to fill in another 20,000 or 30,000 people!"

"That's really good, Baiyun City has been breached, the Chiyang Army has suffered heavy losses, they are both defeated, and we just happen to be profitable!"

"Hehe, you think very beautifully, Brother Liu, haven't you noticed that Ouyang Xu's headquarters soldiers and horses have not moved, they are all real elite soldiers in a hundred battles, although they lost two or three thousand people before, there are still more than seven thousand people in the base camp to recuperate!"

"Then Ouyang Xu is really ruthless enough, he took the lives of 100,000 troops to fill Baiyun City, but his own soldiers and horses stayed in the base camp to preserve their strength!"

"Those 100,000 troops are all ordinary soldiers, Ouyang Xu's thousands of soldiers and horses are really powerful, these elites themselves are not low in cultivation, and they know how to attack together. Brother Liu, if you rush through the cultivation of the Martial Dao Sevenfold Realm, I am afraid that you will be twisted to pieces in an instant. ”

......

"Sect Master, what should we do now, then Baiyun City is not as weak as we imagined!"

"Well, Baiyun City is not simple. I just got the news that Ye Xing, the Lord of White Cloud City, is a master of the Martial Dao Nine Realms, and he is assisted by the Seven Snake Centipede Whip Gao Zhisong, who is ranked seventy-ninth in the "Wind and Cloud List", so it's not easy to deal with!"

......

"What about the Martial Dao Nine Realms, after all, he will be killed by Ouyang Xu. It would be better if we could escape with a serious injury, my lord, we can just look for an opportunity to attack and take the opportunity to take the treasure. ”

......

"Hmm, look, the side of Baiyun City is almost unable to hold on, and there are already a few soldiers who have killed the city!"

"Pay attention to everything, and when you enter the city, don't rush to do it first. When Ouyang Xu's military horse has almost killed the masters of Baiyun City, we will do it again. Even if we don't get the treasure, there are many rich families in the city, and the looting of one or twenty houses is enough for us to get rich. If you're lucky, you might even be able to make a fortune in the City Lord's Mansion!"

In the woods outside Baiyun City, the branches and leaves swayed, and countless pairs of eyes looked in the direction of Baiyun City like hungry wolves. Either with the idea of treasure or with the idea of looting, just waiting for the city of Baiyun City to be broken, pounce on it and plunder.

..................

The moonlight is like water, sprinkled on the tiles, and the roofs of every house are coated with a layer of frost-like snow, which invisibly adds a bit of chill.

Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night, listening to the sound of fierce fighting outside the city, the residents in Baiyun City are all nervous and nervous, and every house is lit with candles, one by one holding a firewood knife or holding a shovel, a posture of preparing to fight hard.

The Chiyang army outside the city has already announced that the military order is to slaughter and sack the city, and the 100,000 troops are all red-eyed and frantically attacking.

The slaughter of the city means that the whole city will be bloodied, parents will be killed, wives and daughters will be humiliated, and the hard-earned wealth will become the goods of those butchers. The inhabitants of the city were furious, and all the young and middle-aged, even the elderly and women, took up arms and organized themselves to guard the main intersections of the streets.

The crowd was angrily scolding the Chiyang Army outside the city, and at the same time, they were talking to each other. In addition to anger, there is also panic and apprehension.

"How long can the guards hold out, are the enemies going to come in?"

"What are you afraid of, if the enemy army comes in, let's fight with them, it's a big deal!"

"It shouldn't be so fast, the city lord issued a lot of powerful weapons a few days ago, and the enemy suffered heavy casualties!"

"Hey, by the way, why didn't you see the city lord. ”

"Yes, it seems that there are only Deputy Gang Leader Ma and Deputy Gang Leader Niu on the city tower, Deputy Gang Leader Niu and Deputy Gang Master Hong are seriously injured, and I haven't seen the city lord appear after fighting for so long!"

"This ...... Do you think the city lord escaped from the battle?"

"Wang Lao Er, what are you talking nonsense. This Baiyun City is the foundation that the city lord has worked hard to build, so the city lord will not leave us!"

"That's it, Miss Qiao'er is still in the City Lord's Mansion!"

"Although the city lord has a cold appearance, he is a person with real skills, and he treats us well. During this period of time, under his leadership, everyone's life is getting better and better. If it weren't for this damn Chiyang Army coming to attack the city, our Baiyun City would definitely become stronger and stronger. ”

"If the city is breached, I hope that the city lord can escape, the city lord is so young, with his skills, he will be able to avenge us. ”

Many of the city's residents were talking in groups with weapons in their hands.

Suddenly-

That's when --

"Roar!"

A huge beast roar came from the direction of the City Lord's Mansion, and the sound was deafening.

Many people on the street, men and women, young and old, looked up one after another, and when they saw this, they were all overjoyed and their morale was greatly boosted, "It's the city lord!"

"Look, it's the city lord here!"

"Great, the city lord didn't abandon us, the city lord is here!"

In the midst of cheers.

I saw that under the moonlight, on the roof, a young man in Tsing Yi with a sword at his waist rode a swift leopard towards the direction of the city gate tower.

The night wind was cold, and the cold wind was howling, blowing his green shirt and drumming.

The blue hair of the wind leopard fluttered slightly, and his limbs stepped lightly on the snow-white tiles on the roof, and the speed was extremely fast, and a leap was more than ten meters away, carrying the young man in Tsing Yi towards the direction of the city gate tower. (To be continued.) )
