Chapter 264: Seeing each other's white blades are bloody
Li Dong took the city without much effort, but Zhou Chun encountered unprecedented resistance and fell into a stalemate. The fierce city lived up to its name, and it was very ferocious, and the people in the city spontaneously formed an alliance to resist Zhou Chun's rebel army.
And in Situ's book, the course of this battle is also recorded!
Zhou Chun's military strength after taking Silent City was also strongly replenished, and he personally led the elite of 120,000 troops to attack the Fierce City. The fierce city is the most remote place among the four cities, so the population is small, and the guards are weak, Zhou Chun thought that he would be able to capture it, so he didn't care too much, after all, now they are marching all the way, and all the villages they pass through are looking down on the wind!
When he came to the gate of the fierce city, Zhou Chun harvested nearly 50,000 miscellaneous troops, looking at the low city wall, Zhou Chun was confident, he thought that his fierce name was more powerful than the name of the fierce city, and he was afraid that he could collapse the city with a slight wave of his hand.
After three days of adjustment, Zhou Chun directly launched the first wave of impact, the military horn sounded sonorously and powerfully, roaring like thunder, and the forward troops totaled 50,000 swooped up like a flash flood and tsunami.
However, the guards of the fierce city seemed to be lazy and lackluster and had no fighting spirit, and when they saw the rolling crowd, they were so frightened that they actually forgot to resist at the first time.
"Let go of the arrows, let go of the arrows!" shouted the guards at the top of their voices, and the soldiers reacted and hurriedly shot the arrows in their hands.
"Shieldmen!"
Zhou Chun raised his arms and shouted, and the eight thousand shield armor soldiers raised their shields, and suddenly formed a strong shield on the heads of the vanguard troops to resist the attacks of the demon army's arrows.
The arrows crackled against the shield, and all the rebels looked happy as they waited for the first rain of arrows to end.
"Brothers, rush!"
When the rain of arrows was scarce, Zhou Chun immediately commanded the front army to advance, and when he pinched the demon army to change the arrows, he raised the shield in his hand again, so that the 50,000 army soon approached the city.
Looking at the chaotic attack on the city wall, Zhou Chun's army seemed to be in order, the cooperation between the crossbowmen, knife and axe hands, spear team and shield army was extremely tacit, they continued to bombard the city gate with a solemn atmosphere, and behind them was the pillow of 10,000 cavalry, once the city gate was broken, it was the moment for them to charge.
"Today, whoever kills a demon soldier will be rewarded with a thousand thousand, and whoever kills ten will be promoted to one level, and whoever kills an officer will be promoted to another level!"
Zhu Xian sat in the rear of the rebel army, he looked at the front of the army that fought bravely to kill the enemy and had some dissatisfaction, he cut off an arm, his cultivation was greatly reduced, although on the surface Zhou Chun was still polite to him, but the positions arranged were mostly false, he angrily shouted to his subordinates: "When the city gate is broken, I order you to charge more fiercely than the cavalry, and kill more fiercely than the spear team! Your sword is the sharpest, your sword is the most domineering, and your spear is the most ferocious!"
"Did you hear that?"
"Yes!" 10,000 people responded in unison.
Under the cover of catapults and ballista carts, the ladder approached the city smoothly, and the siege vehicles began to constantly hit the city gates, and the charms on the city gates trembled under their impacts, and the shield armoured troops who covered the army under the city walls also chose to retreat at this moment, after all, their mobility was too poor, and it was easy to cause crowding.
After Zhou Chun was in Silent City, he only recognized that his ability to fight had been greatly improved, and the corners of his mouth were full of smirks and confidence.
At that time, the crossbowmen on the head of the city no longer needed to aim, and they could shoot arrows directly into the sky, and the arrows that poured down like a torrential rain killed nearly a thousand people in an instant.
The war was so cruel, it was a victory made of corpses! The rebel army ignored the arrows and thunderbolts above its head, and the well cart finally reached the range of attack, and Wu Yong's 8,000 crossbowmen stood on the high well cart and began to fire back.
The strong bow in his hand was drawn into the shape of a full moon, and the demon archers at the head of the city were quickly submerged in it, constantly falling down the city walls, and then trampled into flesh by the besieging troops.
The rebels on the siege ladder also took the opportunity to jump on the city wall, and they fought with the demon army, and without the cover on the city wall, the siege engine began to exert its might.
Zhou Chun, Kong Zhi and He Ruda, who was on the top of the Silent City, took the lead, and directly found the important generals of the other party to fight together.
The tactics that Zhou Chun learned were Li Dong's "straight" tactics that day, but unfortunately he was really not handsome, and he only learned the surface. In the past, there were less than 1,000 guards in the Silent City, and most of them died with injuries and illnesses without any combat power, so they were naturally swallowed up by the rebel army in an instant.
But today is different, the soldiers of the fierce city have already been waiting for the battle, Zhou Chun did not have a deeper level of judgment of the enemy's combat strength, he arbitrarily relied on the city defense and the lazy demon soldiers on the city, he thought that he was sure to win.
However, when they climbed the mountain, they found that it was not like that at all! Because the demon army was ready to abandon the city defense, what they wanted was to start a white-knuckle battle with the rebel army!
Because the low city walls are also a big thing that restricts them!
Looking at the tens of thousands of troops in the city, Zhou Chun only roughly estimated that there were 100,000 people, and suddenly sighed in his heart: "The guards of the four cities are only 5,000, why does the fierce city have such a force?"
A sense of foreboding surged in Zhou Chun's heart! And at this moment, with a loud bang, the city gate collapsed!
"Kill!"
Chen Shui excitedly commanded his soldiers to charge, but when he stepped into the city, he was a little confused, because he saw an army of 100,000 sharpening his swords!
The fierce battle began in an instant, the supernatural powers and spiritual weapons continued to bombard, and the two sides suddenly fell into a fierce battle, the swords and swords were horizontal, the blood flowed like a river, and countless corpses were soon piled up into small mountains, and everyone stepped directly on their bodies and continued to slash.
The screams were incessant, and the screams were terrible, but both sides did not give an inch, fighting to the death! Unlike the destruction of the city, when the defenders of the fierce city heard of the massacre in the silent city, they chose to unite as one and fight the rebel army to the end, rather than retreat and abandon the city!
The demon army gritted its teeth and looked hideous, and their knife carts and machine carts became dependent, and the cover quickly cost the rebels dearly.
"Brothers, rush me!"
When the 10,000 cavalry saw that the city gate was broken, they roared up and charged directly, and Zhu Xian also hurriedly followed, lest they fall behind.
These people are very heroic, even if the demon army shows incomparable tenacity and tenacity, they still can't resist the edge of the cavalry, their sword car defense line was quickly attacked by it, and the machine beast was also restrained by everyone, after all, such a small area, this kind of heavy beast car can only be caught off guard at the beginning.
But these demon armies were really like eating some indescribable things, they were not afraid of death, and the tide of the rebel army was also crushed by them.
These cavalry thought that they were here to harvest the battlefield, but unexpectedly they also fell into a stalemate, and the demon army relied on the advantage of the alley to kill these cavalry, causing them to lose nearly half, and they had no choice but to withdraw from the city, leaving 5,000 corpses.
And the demon army of the abandoned city head launched a counter-charge at this time and recaptured the city head, after all, it is much easier to go up to the city head from the inside than from the outside.
As the tide of battle turned and the two sides fought to the death, the head of the city changed hands several times between the two sides, and the screams, curses, groans, and the slamming of weapons formed a bloodthirsty madness.
Zhou Chun has already entered a state of rage, and now he doesn't need to command at all, he just needs to fight desperately.
The armor on his body has long been broken, the spear in his hand has also been broken, and the strong smell of blood is even more gone, whether it is the rebel army or the demon army, their eyes are red, since the weapon is destroyed, then they will attack the other party with their bare hands.
A rebel with half of his head cut off still clutched the neck of a demon soldier with both hands, and the severed arm of the demon soldier smirked and stabbed a dagger into the chest of one of the rebels, while the soldier who had been shot into a hedgehog frantically gnawed at the throat of another like an undead demon.
Poke the eyes, kick the...... Both sides are unscrupulous, only life and death and madness! Whether it is the rebel army or the demon army, they have become fierce gods and evil spirits!
"Kill!"
The 50,000 forward troops were repelled by the demon army, and those demon troops were even more frantically shouting to rush out of the fierce city, forming a counter-attack and pursuit.
"Kill!"
The second echelon of the rebels hurried to meet them, and they strangled with the demons in the wilderness. Siege Engines, Well Carts, Catapults, Ladders, Ballistas, Charging Carts, Knife Carts, Trap Beasts...... All kinds of mechanical artifacts have been destroyed.
"Third echelon, give it to me!"
"Fourth echelon, give it to me!" The rebel army holds the onslaught of the demon army!
"Fifth echelon ......"
"Sixth echelon ......"
More and more people are thrown into the battlefield, the fire is raging, and neither of them dares to slack off like two giants, they are out of breath but refuse to take a step back, they are scarred but do not dare to slack off, because they know that at this time there is only courage to move forward, and once the momentum of anyone weakens, it will be destroyed.
"Report, Zhu Xian died in battle!"
Zhu Xian did not realize his ambition in the end, and he was pierced through the heart from behind by a nobody in the rolling crowd.
"Report, Kong Zhi died in battle!"
"Report, Chen Shui is seriously injured and has no strength to fight again!"
......
The announcer didn't know who to send the message to, because there was no reserve battalion, and even the harsh medical corps had stepped onto the battlefield.
"It's twelve hours, aren't they tired?"
This is the voice of everyone, the fierce city is like a bottomless black hole, it swallows wave after wave of people. The bodies and minds of both sides were already exhausted, and Zhou Chun kept stuffing pills into his mouth, and these pills could no longer exert their effects.
The city head was constantly exchanged in the hands of both sides, and finally it collapsed because it could not bear the price, and the two sides had no tactics to speak of, they only had one synonym, and that was "meat grinder"!
In the gray sky, Zhou Chun seemed to see the white clouds like blood, his body was already unable to move, and he muttered: "It turned out to be blood!" It turned out that the white clouds he saw were the sky reflected by the blood on the ground.
Zhou Chun's consciousness had gradually blurred, he had exhausted his strength and finally killed the city lord of the fierce city, and he was already exhausted and was harshly embraced into his arms.
"I'll take care of the rest!"
